225 Attempted robbery

Before dawn, all parts of the palace were lively, and there were palace people in a hurry, preparing the things needed for today's emperor's enthronement ceremony and post-sealing ceremony. If something goes wrong with such a big event, it's a matter of losing your head. The faces of all the officials of the Ministry of Rites were solemn, and they strictly supervised the people who were the celebrants and the people who were in charge.

Lan Junyao didn't sleep well the night before, she slept lightly, and she would be woken up if there was a noise, but it was just a formality, and she didn't pay much attention to it. The palace people of the Dyeing Ceremony Hall can be different from what their masters think, and after today, they are serving the most noble women in Dongling. At present, although the master is in the name of the queen's mother, after all, the ceremony has not been held after the sealing, the facts are changeable, and everything cannot be decided.

Lan Junyao had returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion last night, and with her, there were Yu Linwei, who was specially sent by the emperor to protect her safety, and a number of internal eunuchs and palace maids, and a group of people surrounded her and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Lan Qingyue only saw his sister, and he didn't have time to rejoice, so he was squeezed aside, and he wanted to go to his sister to talk. When I arrived at the door of my sister's boudoir, I was stopped by the solemn ceremonial grandmother, who said that the queen was not allowed to meet any man before her wedding, even Lord Lan, who was her brother.

I said a few words to my sister through the window, which seemed a little boring, and asked my sister to rest early, Lan Qingyue turned around and left, the house was very lively, but his back was a little lonely.

About the fourth watch, there were skillful maids and grandmothers entered, Lan Junyao began to burn incense and bathe under their command, today's spices are somewhat similar to the ambergris fragrance used by the emperor on weekdays, not as light as the usual aroma.

The palace maid carried a basket of peony petals that had already dried and poured them into the white jade pool, Lan Junyao leaned on the edge of the pool, and someone else took a soap corner to comb her sideburns, the water temperature was just right, she didn't like others to serve, but now she also felt very comfortable.

There is no such extravagant place in the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is Ling Qixuan who ordered people to supervise and build it for days, and introduced the jade spring water on the mountain as a soup, women often soak it to moisturize the skin and rejuvenate the skin, the preciousness of this jade spring water is that it has the effect of rejuvenating the skin.

Lan Junyao felt that she would have to take off a layer of skin if she soaked it any longer, so the grandmother who stood like a stake on both sides respectfully invited her out of the soup pool. A faint floral fragrance escapes from the body, bringing a gust of fresh breeze. Lan Junyao was a little lucky, fortunately, there was only one post-ceremony, if she came a few more times, I was afraid that she would not have the patience to accompany them to toss together.

A grandmother commanded a few maids to hold the phoenix crown in front of Lan Junyao, a strong red look festive and solemn, a tight-sleeved robe inside the waist tightened, this set of silk is woven with silk, a year to pay tribute to the silk but can get this set of clothes.

Lan Junyao stretched out her arms, and the two maidservants put the clothes on her one by one, one left and one right, until a soft smoke and gauze skirt embroidered with a golden phoenix was on her body, and then helped her sit down in front of the dresser.

The bronze mirror reflects a beautiful woman with fragrant cheeks and jade face, glamorous than flowers, such as a waterfall long draped around the neck, shaved shoulders and thin waist, plain in the bundle, often seems to have a streamer, and the appearance has been alluring without makeup.

The two grandmothers behind her were not maidservants who entered and exited the palace, but they were still shocked by her enchantment. Lan Junyao pulled the corners of her mouth, and her face showed an embarrassed suspicion, and she spitted the little maid beside her who had not yet woken up: "Little hoof, what are you doing in a daze, delaying the auspicious time and carefully the emperor skinned you." “

Lan Junyao let them move on their heads, the phoenix crown made of pure gold pressed people's necks to bend, and a phoenix with wings about to fly on the top was lifelike, with gold beads hanging from the front beak of the phoenix, surrounded by six colorful phoenixes on each side, and the phoenix's eyes used rubies the size of little fingers. The phoenix dwells in the peony flower, the safflower and green leaves are exquisitely made, there are white pearls of good color to decorate the flower temples, and there is a phoenix on both sides of the temples.

After the depicted face was hidden, the phoenix crown was covered with a layer of red veil, and the grandmother on the side explained to her what should be paid attention to, listening to her noise in her ears, Lan Junyao felt a thin layer of sweat in the palm of her hand, this battle was so grand, she couldn't help but be a little nervous.

The palace people of the Dyeing Ceremony Hall stood at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion and looked forward to it, staring at the movement in the distance. It wasn't until the noise in the distance came that joy crept up on their faces. Sure enough, the people were lined up on both sides, and the Praetorian Guard stood guard in front of them in case of unrest. The honor guard in the palace opened the way, and the long line stretched out, and it was impossible to see the end at a glance.

Although the people on both sides of the road stood on tiptoe and looked at the face of the queen mother, they were very well-behaved, and this situation made these Janissaries relieved and a little surprised, and they couldn't help but pay more respect to their legendary queen mother. This situation is very reminiscent of the legendary woman back then, Queen Huang, who also refused to shave her eyebrows.

Ronghua hurriedly ran back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to report the news when the team showed up, and he wanted to ask Niangniang for this first reward. The subordinates of the Prime Minister's Mansion are also wearing festive red today, and watching the young lady get married, they all have tears of joy in their eyes.

The sedan chair stopped at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lan Junyao got up from the stool, and the bride arranged her dress with her. She was a little out of breath under the pressure of the cumbersome phoenix crown, and Xi Niang helped her walk slowly out of the door one by one.

According to the ancestral system, the emperor is going to send a dependent minister to welcome the Son of Heaven on behalf of the Son of Heaven. However, the new emperor ascended the throne and filtered the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, but Ling Qixuan still couldn't find a suitable person, so someone suggested that it would be better for General Lan to send his relatives.

This idea was approved by a number of ministers in the court, and the emperor was worried about the queen's mother's new funeral father, and his brother came to send him off, which showed that the emperor was generous and benevolent. Second, General Lan once defended the frontier with the emperor and was subordinate to the emperor, and he was barely a minister to rely on. Therefore, there is no one to welcome relatives today, but there are people to send relatives.

Ronghua crouched in front of Lan Junyao's door, Lan Junyao stepped on his back, and Lan Qingyue dropped an ingot of broken silver wrapped in red paper. Ronghua happily took the silver, and saw that all the minions were envious, and the smug color in Ronghua's eyes was even stronger.

When she arrived at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lan Qingyue let go of her sister's hand, bowed down in front of her, and carried her directly into the sedan chair. The eight-lifted sedan chair with red top and yellow curtain shows the noble status of the people in the sedan chair, and Lan Qingyue's attitude makes the people watching the ceremony breathe a sigh of relief, and the honor and favor that mortal women ask for is nothing more than that.

The eight strong Yu Linwei lifted the sedan chair, Lan Qingyue took a few steps forward, took the reins from the guard's hand, and turned over on the horse with a flick of his robe. Today, he was wearing a dark red robe embroidered with moire, with silver threads embroidered on the collar and cuffs, and a pair of ink-colored boots on his feet.

He tugged at the reins in his hand and scolded, "Drive!" The whole team set off in the direction of the palace. The short curtains on both sides of the sedan chair were replaced with red light veils, and the breeze blew to cause the short curtains to flutter in the wind, and the people who watched the ceremony could occasionally see the looming face of the new queen.

There are two concubines in Gyeonggi, who marry a husband together, Yan Ruyu was married by the emperor as early as when Ling Qixuan was still a prince, but she was a side concubine. Now that the people are watching the ceremony, they can't help but compare the two. During this time, Lan Junyao's name can be said to be known to everyone, and the more hazy and intoxicating she is, the people are naturally inclined to her in their hearts.

The long street was filled with the entire team and the crowd, and the guards raised their vigilance one by one, and they could not relax for a moment for fear that someone would take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos today. On both sides of the procession, there are maidservants carrying baked flower petals, spreading them along the way, and the fragrance goes straight to people's noses.

Lan Junyao sat in the sedan chair, and the eight-lift sedan chair was smooth and tight, and she didn't feel the bumps at all. She clenched the apple in her hand, and only faintly glimpsed Brother Qingyue's figure in the gap between the breeze lifting the sedan curtain, so she felt a lot more at ease.

The people cheered continuously, Lan Junyao listened to their simple blessings, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, if she could really grow old with him, it would be a blessing.

The team was walking unhurriedly, when suddenly a group of black-clothed and masked people jumped out from the rooms on both sides, their goal was obvious, and they jumped directly towards the sedan chair where Lan Junyao was sitting.

The guards who saw them off had been prepared for such a change, and they calmly drew their swords from their horses. Only then did the onlookers on both sides realize that the things wrapped in red cloth on the side of the saddle turned out to be their weapons, and they hurriedly retreated to both sides, for fear that the sword would have no eyes and hurt themselves.

The sound of the sword clash was agitated, and these black-clothed people were intercepted by Yu Linwei before they reached the phoenix sedan chair, and they had no choice but to temporarily put down their targets and fight with the guards.

Lan Qingyue didn't step forward, he rode his horse back unhurriedly, and walked to Lan Junyao's phoenix sedan chair before stopping. His back was stiff, and he looked at the two groups of people fighting with his chest crossed, but he didn't mean to come forward to help.

Lan Junyao in the phoenix sedan chair also sat steadily, she looked at the bright red and translucent apple in her hand, and couldn't help but stroke her belly that was tightly bound by her clothes, and she was tossed up from the bed by them early this morning, which was quite painstaking. At this time, she couldn't help but be a little hungry, if she ate this peace fruit, she was afraid that she would not know what kind of moths those teaching grandmothers would toss out, and she forced herself not to look at it, which will divert her mind.

Lan Junyao listened to the sound of fighting outside the sedan car, and the sedan curtain on the right side moved, and something fell in from the small window. Lan Junyao was dumbfounded when she saw it, but it was an equally bright fruit, she opened the sedan curtain, caught a glimpse of her brother's fake face, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.

Taking advantage of the gap between their fights, Lan Junyao gnawed the apple that Qingyue's brother threw in, and his stomach was already a little full, I don't know when he hid the fruit on his body, and carried it all the way without letting others find out, the light laughter floated into Lan Qingyue's ears, and the roots of his ears couldn't help but glow a little red.
