Chapter 54
The day before the ceremony, the eldest aunt took the princess Bai to the 'Begonia Garden' in person and sent the dress prepared for Tillian.
Mrs. Su smiled gently and lovingly, ordered someone to hang the dress on the tray on the hanger screen in the inner room, and took Tilian's hand and said softly, "This dress is carefully prepared by your grandmother for you, and it took five years to cut it since Lian'er was seven years old. ”
Hearing this, Tilian's eyes have already been wet, since she came to this world, her grandmother Mrs. Xie has pampered her because of her daughter's thoughts, as the relationship between the grandparents and grandchildren has deepened, Dilian in her heart, is no longer the sustenance left by her daughter, but a priceless treasure, she can't wait to hold the beautiful and precious things in the world in front of her to coax her to smile.
Pacing slowly, Tillian's eyes wandered on the gizzard unfolded on the hanger, because it was a spring shirt, even if there were nine pieces of this dress inside and out, it only felt light and soft when layered together. The color of the whole dress from the innermost moon white to the fourth layer of pink, and then to the outermost red, showing a gradient of aggravated color form, a layer is thinner than a layer, a layer is smoother than a layer, the skirt is spread out in a cloud-shaped tail, the blooming chrysanthemums outlined by silver and red silk threads add a bit of dignity to this charming color, and the bright red and pedicle twin lotuses on both sides of the legs are entangled and hugging the slender waist, enchanting and graceful.
The plain hand gently slid over the fine plum cushion flower on the edge of the placket, and Tillian smiled lightly, this set of dresses, although not the most luxurious and dazzling, is the most glamorous.
On the 11th day of March, the door of the gold ingot and vermilion lacquer of the Prime Minister's Mansion slowly opened, Jiang Yi and Jiang Li personally greeted the guests outside the gate of the Mansion.
Gently inserted the gold-inlaid beads into the tail of the bun, and the slender hand slid down the swaying hairpin silver silk, and helped the Yingze Pearl that fell on the side of the neck, Xie Hengxu smiled softly, "This South China Sea East Pearl is specially left by me, and it is inlaid and shaken, and Lian'er wears it the most smart." ”
Looking at the face of the black bun in the makeup mirror, Tilian Yue's eyes were slightly curved, "Don't you know that the bun of Ji Ri was made by her mother?" ”
Xie Hengxu came in over the wall before dawn, so that Qinghuan was startled when she came to call her up in the morning, and then her face turned a little blue.
"I was so good at talking about it that I persuaded Princess Shenghua to hide it from my uncle and let me put on your makeup." , His tone was a little aggrieved, but the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were full of pride.
In fact, in the high-ranking family, there are a few housewives who can make hair, but it is a little more curtain, and the rest are all made by the old lady who is waiting closely, Xie Hengxu proposed to make a bun for Tillian and Xuan, Princess Shenghua was stunned, of course she didn't believe that he would do this kind of woman's work, and she didn't know how Xie Hengxu proved it, so she said that she would be moved.
Qinghuan waited on the side for a long time, and only then did he open his mouth lightly, "Young Master Xu, please sit outside, and the slave maid will wait for the young lady to change her clothes." ”
Xie Hengxu smacked his lips and wanted to say that he was coming, but seeing Aunt Qinghuo's gloomy face, he swallowed the words back, winked at Dilian, turned around and walked out of the inner room.
Qinghuan turned around and closed the door, saw Tillian sitting in front of the makeup mirror and laughing, and couldn't help but sigh and complain, "How can you say that the filial piety period will not be passed until June next year, this young master is becoming more and more unruly." ”
Tillian got up from the embroidery stool, walked to the hanger screen, and said casually while unbuttoning her underwear, "Auntie doesn't have to be so angry, he has not had a top etiquette in his eyes since he was a child." ”
"Miss." , While taking off the dresses one by one, Qingwei sighed and said, "When I was young, I was a child, and now Young Master Xu is a person with an official rank, if it is known that he is so rude, it will only be said that Miss is wrong." ”
Tillian didn't care, opened her arms and let her put the clothes on her body one by one, and her smiling moon eyes crooked, "Auntie, how can outsiders know about me and him." ”
Hearing her say this, Qingwei was speechless for a while, and stared at her, "Miss, why are you still conniving at him." ”
After changing clothes, Tilian walked to the makeup mirror and looked at the slender and graceful woman, couldn't help but smile lightly, turned around and pushed the door out, and saw Xie Hengxu and Yun Shili standing side by side by the window, and the two turned around.
The black bun is like a distant mountain with eyebrows, the moon eyes are like a spring, clear and waveless, the slender posture is unparalleled, Yun Shili smiles elegantly and her blue eyes are moist, and there is no scenery in this world that can beat every scene she appears.
Xie Hengxu smiled clearly, stepped forward and grabbed her and took her to the window, "Look who's back." ”
When Di Lian heard this, she lowered her eyes, and saw Liu Junchen leading a clean and untraced martial artist in a black robe, and couldn't help laughing, "He will count the days." ”
Luo Jia looked all the way, saw the three people in the attic, and immediately jumped to his feet and beckoned.
Tilian turned around and went downstairs, Xie Hengxu and Yun Shili followed closely behind, and as soon as the three of them turned out of the Fulin screen, Luo Jia jumped over the door, threw his waist with one hand and tied it in a ponytail that was not short or long behind his head, and said with a smile, "How, I'm not too late to come back." ”
Seeing his posture, Xie Hengxu snorted, "You came empty-handed, Mr. Liu, send him back." ”
Apricot eyes glared, Luo Jia bared his teeth, "I really haven't grown at all." After that, he glanced at Xie Hengxu, his eyes turned to look at Yun Shili, who was smiling gently, and he raised his eyebrows and moved, "I guess, this must be Yunhou." ”
Yun Shili smiled lightly and bowed.
"Miss, there is a royal gift ahead, everyone is still waiting for Miss to thank you." , Liu Junchen interjected at the right time.
Di Lianyue's eyes were faint, Yun Shili's smile was also restrained, and he glanced at Xie Hengxu lightly, but saw that his smile was clear and flawless, his blue eyes were slightly narrow, and Yun Shili lowered his eyes and looked uncertain.
Emperor An's reward was sent by Mo Yan himself, and when he saw Di Lian appearing, he went straight to open the carved wooden box and saw the things on the tray clearly, and the onlookers were silent and gasped.
The golden eight-tailed phoenix hairpin lay horizontally on the vermilion brocade, stabbing people's eyes.
The royal family has an ancestral system, the emperor is the dragon, the concubine is the phoenix, and the queen's court clothes and phoenix hairpins are all nine-tailed phoenixes, and the eight-tailed ones are the style of the concubines.
Today, all the magnates in the capital are there, and it is surprising that Emperor An rewarded Zuo Xiang's daughter, and now he will show this phoenix hairpin in front of everyone's eyes, what kind of thoughts are he holding, and now I am afraid that everyone's hearts are like a mirror.
Facing the eyes of many people who looked at each other with suspicion, Princess Shenghua's face was stiff and slightly pale, Jiang Luoxiu's face sank, the Xie family was embarrassed and embarrassed, the Su family looked weird, Yun Shili's face was cold, and Xie Hengxu's phoenix eyes were dark.
Everyone looked at Di Lian, the lotus walked gently, Di Lian approached Mo Yan, her charming and unparalleled face was calm and waveless, and she gently lifted the eight-tailed phoenix hairpin with her bare hands.
"Lord Mo." , Qingrou spoke, Di Lian quietly stared at Mo Yan, smiling softly, "The painstaking work represented by this phoenix hairpin, the Zuo Xiangfu and the Rongguo Mansion are deeply affected, the day Di Lian leaves the cabinet, it will be put on the phoenix crown, so that everyone in the capital can see His Majesty's trust in my two mansions, and His Majesty Xià trusts him so much, the Zuo Xiangfu and the Rongguo Mansion will bow to death and then have been loyal to His Majesty." ”
Bending her knees slightly, Tilian bowed her head and said in a clear voice, "Thank you, long live your majesty, long live, long live." ”
The hall was silent, Jiang Luoxiu and the Xie family should be the first to come back to their senses, and then shouted on the ground, "Your Majesty Xie believes in your favor, and the ministers should do their best to be loyal to Your Majesty." ”
The surrounding onlookers looked at each other with confused and strange expressions, is this what His Majesty gave this phoenix hairpin? Could it be that they are mistaken? Everyone understood in their hearts that Emperor An's meaning was deliberately tactfully distorted by this Miss Jiang.
Mo Yan's eyebrows twitched, looking at Di Lian in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and said dryly, "Everyone is exempt from courtesy." ”
Zuo Xiangfu and the Xie family got up one after another, Mo Yan lowered his eyes slightly and bowed, "Congratulations to Miss Jiang and Lu Daxi, Mo Yan wants to return to the palace to resume his life, so he will leave first." ”
"Master Mo walks slowly." , Yue's eyes bent lightly, and Tilian casually put the phoenix hairpin back on the tray and motioned for Mama Xun to accept it.
Something like this happened, the atmosphere was a little strange for a while, but fortunately, Princess Shenghua recovered her demeanor in a moment, with her pressing here, everyone didn't dare to talk about it, no matter what they thought in their hearts, it was as if nothing had happened on their faces.
Tilian turned around and walked to Mrs. Xie's side, personally helped her up, and said with a smile, "There are a lot of people today, grandmother come and sit with me." ”
Old Madam Xie nodded with a tense face, and when she got up, she politely said to Princess Shenghua, "I'm tired of princess." She was originally here to support Tillian's scene, but now she doesn't have the heart to sit here and be seen.
Princess Shenghua felt uncomfortable too, and her younger brother thought about her daughter-in-law, which was like a slap in her face, but now if even she panicked, today's feast would be a mess, and she could only barely suppress the formation with a smiling face.
"The old lady will go to Lian'er to rest for a while, I will support me here, don't worry."
Old Madam Xie sighed and bowed her head, and was helped out of the front hall by Di Lian, the Xie family followed one after another, Xie Hengxu walked a few steps quickly to support the other side of Old Madam Xie, at this time, the more others looked, the more they had to steady.
Luo Jia and Yun Shili fell behind the team, and when they saw that they left everyone's sight, the faces of the Xie family became more and more ugly one by one, and they couldn't help but stick out their tongues, tilted their heads and exchanged ears with Yun Shili, "You say, will the Xie family be reversed because of Emperor An's ghostly thoughts?" ”
He was born in the rivers and lakes, he didn't have so many restraints, and he dared to say anything, but Yun Shili was different, hearing this, his warm blue eyes narrowed slightly, glanced at him sharply, and said lightly, "Disaster comes from the mouth." ”
Hearing this, Luo Jia raised his eyebrows and squinted at him, sneered noncommittally, and whispered and joked, "You people, sooner or later, one day, you will either be killed by the rules of the suffocating person, or turn over and kill the person who sets the rules, you see." I bet that if Emperor An dares to make such a bold move, Xie Hengxu will sooner or later. ”
Yun Shili stretched out his hand to block his mouth, and saw that he was staring at him silently, before he withdrew his hand calmly, and walked away with an indifferent expression.
Luo Jia stared at his back in the bottom of his eyes, smiled dumbly for a while, gritted his teeth and raised his heels.
