Volume I: Painting Hall Spring Chapter 25: Greeting Relatives

On the ninth day of April, the wedding ceremony.

The prince's greeting ceremony was already grand, coupled with the emperor's preference, King Heng's greeting ceremony was particularly grand. The people of the whole Shangdu City seemed to hug out and be happy, watching Xiao Yizheng enter the gate of the Ling Mansion in a complicated dress, watching the daughter of the Ling family wearing a red dress and gracefully getting on the sedan chair, watching the welcoming procession winding for several miles, blowing and playing lively, in short, this wedding has been a topic of conversation among the people of Shangdu for a long time.

Qingxi was led into the cave room after a complicated worship ceremony. She was obscured by a red hijab all the way, and could only peek through the cracks to see her surroundings. Moon Shadow as her personal maid entered the palace with her, this girl accompanied her and seized the opportunity to praise the prince for being very chic today, the palace scene was extremely lively, and when she sat on the wedding bed, her ears were finally clear.

She shook her head first, this headdress really pressed her neck pain, but she didn't shake it a few times, and Xi Niang spoke: "The princess can't shake off this red hijab, she has to wait for the prince to come and uncover it." ”

She frowned, and she couldn't wait until he came until the wedding banquet in the front hall was over. "Is there a banquet in the front hall?" She asked softly.

"Not yet, I said I would wait for the saint." Xi Niang said that it was fun.

"Is the Holy One coming?" The emperor would come to Hengwang's mansion to attend the wedding banquet, which was unexpected.

"Yes! The Holy Grace of the Lord. ”

It seems that the emperor really loves this son, what would he be like if he knew that this marriage was just a show to each according to his needs.

It doesn't seem to be true to say that everyone takes what they need, she hasn't figured out what Xiao Yizheng wants from this marriage? He's not like himself, and he has no way out. Even relying on the emperor's preference, he only said that he didn't want to, what could the emperor do? Just thinking about it, she suddenly felt that someone had stuffed two white rice cakes into her hands, and the crisp voice of Moon Shadow sounded in her ears: "Girl, you are hungry, eat first." ”

"Oh, I said this girl, this is unacceptable, it's not in accordance with the rules!" The bride made a gesture to retrieve the two rice cakes.

"Xi Niang, just two pieces, it's not in the way, our girl is greedy, how can I be hungry?"

Qingxi's face was red for a while, this Moon Shadow, what kind of greed, she couldn't wait to immediately raise her hand to cover Moon Shadow's mouth tightly.

The door was suddenly opened, and she felt that the whole room was kneeling down in unison, and then she heard a familiar voice: "Get up." ”

It's Xiao Yizheng! How did he get here? Shouldn't he be waiting in the front hall to greet the emperor at this time?

After a while, she felt the light in front of her be blocked. Obviously, he had walked in front of him, and he didn't know what he had done, so he was so anxious that Xi Niang hurriedly shouted: "No, Lord Wang." ”

"Nothing to do. The king's marriage is not attached to these false gifts. ”

Her red hijab was suddenly lifted, and her eyes suddenly brightened. She raised her head suddenly unprepared, the beads on her head made a crisp sound, she blinked her eyes twice, and met Xiao Yizheng's smiling and deep eyes with surprise.

He is indeed dressed more handsome today as Moon Shadow said, but the complicated dress hides a little chic and sparse temperament, and it has a little more luxury, especially at this moment, there seem to be thousands of beams of brilliance in the eyes that are staring directly at him.

She instantly felt embarrassed to be looked at, and lowered her head slightly, avoiding the intersection of her eyes.

"Oh, the prince ......" The bride on the side couldn't stop it at all, and could only sigh unwillingly. And the other attendants in the room all covered their mouths and smiled, afraid that they couldn't bear it when they thought that the prince was so impatient.

"After such a long time and so many rules, I think you are tired, and I'm afraid you're hungry......" Xiao Yizheng's voice was very gentle, and when he said this, he paused.

Qingxi immediately remembered the two slices of white rice cakes in his hand, his hand subconsciously shrunk, and hid it in his sleeve, thinking about this posture and being very embarrassed, he immediately took it out calmly. She seemed to hear Xiao Yizheng's silent laughter, and her face turned red again.

"You don't have to care about those rules, you can eat and drink whatever you want, just get started." Saying that, Xiao Yizheng said to everyone: "You also listen well, the etiquette that should be done will not be less than that of this king, but you must not use those false etiquette to restrain the princess." ”

And the people saluted.

Qingxi looked up at him again, feeling warm in his heart: "Your Highness Xie is compassionate." ”

Xiao Yizheng looked at her dressed up today, but it was completely different from the elegance and lightness in her usual days; But despite the different outfits, they also show the same beauty, and it can be said that light makeup is always appropriate. Even though he had traveled thousands of miles and seen thousands of people, he had to admit that Ling Qingxi's appearance and temperament were exceptional. The moment he unveiled the red hijab, he was also a little condensed, her beauty was not so thrilling, but it still made him ingest his soul at that moment, and a sentence actually came out of his heart: This is my Xiao Yizheng's wife. The thought made him doubt the concentration he had always been confident in. He coughed twice and said, "I'll go back to the front hall first, if you are tired of waiting, you can lie down and don't have to be restrained." ”

Qingxi nodded gratefully.

Although he said that he didn't need to be restrained, Qingxi didn't want to be considered unruly and unreasonable by everyone on the first day he entered the palace, and some things still couldn't be too out of line. Therefore, although she was really tired, she still changed her comfortable sitting posture and waited for Xiao Yizheng.

He lifted the red hijab, which did make her feel a lot more comfortable. She first looked around the house with big eyes, this room is quite large, all the utensils are complete, the whole decoration is simple and simple, and there are no rare antiques, Xu saw her curiosity, and the female official standing on the side said: "Princess, this is the residence of His Royal Highness." His Royal Highness is not luxurious, and he is not particular about the degree of consumption. However, because he was going to marry the princess, His Royal Highness still arranged the palace with special care this time. ”

Particularly attentive? Qingxi looked around the room again, but he really didn't see anything particularly attentive. But thinking that this female official was a talker, he turned his head to look at her: "The girl is?" ”

"The insider, the Su family, visits the princess." So saying, she knelt down. As soon as she knelt, everyone also knelt down in unison.

Qingxi stood up, walked in front of her, stretched out his hand to help her, and said, "Sunei people, please get up, everyone please get up." ”

And they all got up as they were commanded.

Qingxi smiled, "Can you tell me the name of the Sunei people?" ”

The woman who bowed her head slightly raised her head, as if surprised that she would care about her name, and then said respectfully: "Listen to the dream." ”

"Listening to dreams?"

"Listening to the wind and rain in the west window, the green mountains are speechless in my dream. Listen to the word dream. ”

"It's a very elegant name."

Hearing the dream, he lowered his head and said, "It's the name given by the prince." Listening to the dream of having no father and no mother, thanks to the prince's refusal to abandon it, he was taken in the palace. ”

Listening to the dream and talking back, Moon Shadow had tilted her head sideways several times to look at her. Listening to dreams, this name is even more special than her own, which makes her a little disappointed.

Qingxi nodded, estimating that Tingmeng was the same size as himself, and his appearance was dignified, and he was also in a certain amount of progress and retreat between this question and answer, thinking that his status in the palace must not be comparable to that of ordinary insiders, so he said: "Tingmeng, can you please introduce me to the people in this house." ”

Everyone and Tingmeng were slightly stunned when they heard this, naturally because Qingxi was so close and cordial.

Tingmeng smiled slightly, and introduced it without pretentiousness.

As soon as he finished speaking, the attendant at the door reported that the crown princess was coming. Qingxi was overjoyed, took two steps forward, and Shen Tong walked in with a smile.

The crowd bowed down again.

Shen Tong stepped forward to take Qingxi's hand and said with a smile: "This red hijab has been removed?" It's in line with the temper of the sixth brother. I'm here to say hello to you, and to please Princess Heng a little joy. ”

"Sister Tong is used to making fun of me." Qingxi led her to sit down.

"I'm here with the crown prince, my father and mother are also here, the front hall has already held a banquet, I found a reason to see you, I can't stay for a long time. If you think about it, the sixth brother won't mind. Shen Tong looked at Qingxi with affection, and Qingxi felt that there was really a look of reluctance for her sister to marry.

She suddenly realized that she and her brother were going to be present at the same time at the banquet tonight. But such a thing, she naturally can't ask, Shen Tong will also mention it.

"In the future, we can see each other often!" Shen Tong was full of anticipation.

Qingxi nodded: "I have to mention it more." ”

Shen Tong's smile faded a little, and he said leisurely: "I didn't expect me to say everything." ”

Qingxi felt that there seemed to be some emotion behind her smile and words, but she couldn't figure it out for a while.

The two talked and laughed a few more words, and Shen Tong left.

After that, Qingxi listened to the singing and dancing music in the front hall wave after wave, and listened to the busy footsteps of the attendants outside the house, she calmly took the food and drink handed by Moon Shadow and tasted it carefully, and then asked about the various situations in the Dream King's Mansion from time to time, until all the hustle and bustle outside the house had been hidden, and there was a steady footstep outside the house.
