4-faced saint
"Miss." Mother Xie saw that Lin Mu'er was a little nervous, afraid that she would mess up in front of the queen, so she stepped forward lightly and took the opportunity to tidy up her clothes and whispered: "Miss, don't panic, the bride is meeting for the first time, as long as the ceremony is thorough, it will be fine." ”
Lin Mu'er nodded slightly, but she didn't dare to relax in her heart, the loss of honor in front of the emperor is not a joke, although she is a princess, she still has to rely on the emperor's grace to survive!
After a while, I heard a shrill voice in the hall: "Princess Xuanjin is here!" ”
Lin Mu'er sighed softly, stabilized his mind, and walked into the hall.
Minghui Hall is not very big, turn the screen at the door, you can see the hall clearly, the first dragon and phoenix two seats in the hall, on the phoenix seat, wearing a golden silk phoenix robe and wearing a phoenix crown must be the queen; There are two rows of seats at the bottom of the line, and the concubines of each palace sit in them.
Lin Mu'er didn't dare to take a closer look, only glanced at it, then lowered his head and walked forward to bow down: "Concubine Lin Mu'er see the queen's mother, the queen's mother is a thousand years old!" Lin Mu'er calmed down at this time, and saluted steadily, without a trace of panic.
"Okay, get up, get up, get up!" A smiling but slightly relaxed voice sounded overhead, "Let Hongu take a good look at the bride!" ”
"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Lin Mu'er got up and raised her head slightly, her eyes were still lowered, and she didn't dare to look directly at the queen.
"Well, it's a symbol of beauty!" The queen looked at Lin Mu'er with a smile.
As soon as the queen's voice fell, the concubines on both sides echoed.
"Yes, she's a beautiful woman!"
"Look at this appearance, she is a beautiful woman..."
"It's not, I think our Jin prince is also blessed, the emperor married such a beautiful princess." A crisp voice sounded suddenly, and the original high and low echo instantly became cold.
Lin Mu'er remained silent, still standing in front of the queen with low eyebrows. The queen mother glanced at Concubine An who was speaking, and still said with a smile: "Aji, quickly bring the red gold glass lamp in the palace!" ”
"Red gold glass lamp?" Concubine Yue, who was first on the right, asked, "Could it be the one that the Ling Kingdom paid tribute to?" ”
The queen smiled and said nothing, and Aunt Aji came up with the gorgeous and extraordinary glass lamp and said: "No, the mother picked herself in the warehouse for a long time yesterday before she chose such a satisfactory one." ”
"Ah, I've seen this lamp once, I heard that there is a candle in it at night, but it is very bright, and the whole room is shining!" Xi Concubine said excitedly.
"Yes, it's really an eye-opener today, I heard that Lingguo is just like this, so in order to negotiate peace with us, I had to send it over." The concubines on both sides were chattering.
"Okay, okay, look at what excites you, isn't it just a lamp, and the emperor has few rare treasures to reward you on weekdays." The queen smiled and comforted everyone, and then beckoned Lin Mu'er: "Come, here, here it is for you." ”
Lin Mu'er was stunned: "This, this is so valuable, the concubine doesn't dare." ”
"If you don't want it, I'll exchange other things for you!" Another crisp voice said.
"Oh, this noble person really doesn't suffer." Another concubine quipped: "Queen Mother, you have to take care of it, in front of you, she will take advantage of Princess Jin." ”
In a word, all the concubines who said it laughed.
"You!" The queen smiled and stretched out her finger to Yi Guiren, and then said to Lin Mu'er: "Take it, otherwise, if you ask Luo Yi to change it in a while, I won't be able to help you get it back." ”
Seeing this, Lin Mu'er didn't dare to refuse, so she had to salute and thank you: "Thank you Queen Mother!" He took the glass lamp with both hands, and Mother Xie on the side quickly took it.
"Give me a seat!" The queen commanded, and Lin Mu'er couldn't help but thank her again.
After a few words of greeting, I heard the voice of the eunuch outside the door: "The emperor has arrived!" ”
The concubines hurriedly tidied up their appearances and got up to greet them, Lin Mu'er was also flustered in her heart, and her palms were slightly sweaty.
"Why are you here today!" A slightly deep, but full of breath voice sounded, the emperor just entered the Minghui Palace, saw that all the concubines were there, and asked.
"See the emperor!" The crowd saluted.
"Get up." The emperor stepped forward and sat down.
"Princess Jin came to see her today, and everyone said that they wanted to see the bride, and after saying goodbye, they didn't leave." The queen explained with a smile.
"Oh!" The emperor leaned lazily on the chair, and nodded his head slightly in the direction of Lin Mu'er, "This is Princess Jin." The tone was a little cold.
Lin Mu'er hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects: "The concubines see the emperor, may my emperor live long live!" ”
"Hmm." The emperor looked at Lin Mu'er, who was kneeling on the ground, pursed his lips and nodded, and his tone was very light: "Get up!" ”
"Emperor Xie!" Lin Mu'er was a little uneasy in her heart, and she always felt that the attitude of some emperors was a little strange, but she couldn't say it, and she felt a little hairy in her heart.
The emperor looked at Lin Mu'er, who was standing with low eyebrows in front of him, he didn't know what he was thinking, he didn't speak for a long time, the queen mother signaled Aji to make tea for the emperor, and the concubines at the head didn't know what was wrong with the emperor, the power of the sky was unpredictable, so they didn't dare to say anything.
"But I am resentful!" After a while, the emperor finally spoke.
Lin Mu'er was startled and hurriedly knelt down: "The concubine doesn't dare!" The concubines next to them looked at each other, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out.
"It's not that I don't complain, but I don't dare to complain, right?" The emperor leaned down, looked down at Lin Mu'er who was kneeling on the ground and said.
In an instant, Lin Mu'er felt that her heart was about to jump out of her throat, and the handkerchief in her hand had been pinched for fear of being pinched out of the hole, so she forced herself to calm down, and said in a trembling voice: "The concubine doesn't complain, if she has a complaint, she won't marry!" ”
"Not married? So, a few days ago, it fell into the water? The emperor sneered.
"It's overboard, but it's not to get married." Lin Mu'er slowly calmed down, the person who came was not good, he couldn't panic, and his life was important.
"Oh......" The emperor raised his voice and slowly leaned back in his chair, obviously not believing.
"The concubine didn't know why she fell into the water, but the concubine knew that it was a great gift to be able to marry the King of Jin as a concubine and become a concubine, and besides, the emperor pointed out that with your protection, no one in the world would dare to bully the concubine. Thinking about it this way, the situation of concubines is much better than that of ordinary women, how can they still complain? Lin Mu'er said slowly, these words are nine points true, although men and women are married, how many husbands and wives are of the same heart? It's better to live happily for the rest of your life.
The emperor listened to Lin Mu'er talking, slowly blew the tea handed over by the queen, took a sip and said, "Get up!" ”
"Emperor Xie!" Lin Mu'er's feet were a little soft, and she stood up strongly, only to feel that the clothes behind her back were soaked with sweat.
"If you really think so, it's the best, you guard the Jin Palace, and I will be in charge of everything!" The emperor said slowly, "Today, whatever reward you want, as long as you say it, I will reward it!" ”
Lin Mu'er shook her head: "The concubine doesn't want anything, what the emperor said just now is the best reward!" ”
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "Okay! Good! Ha ha! So, I... How about rewarding you with the life of a loyal princess? ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Mu'er hurriedly thanked her, and squeezed out some smiles on her face at the right time.
Seeing that the emperor smiled, everyone was also relieved, and the atmosphere was not as dignified as just now.
"Your Majesty, the queen just gave the glass lamp to Princess Jin, but she is hungry for us." Yi Guiren said coquettishly.
"Oh!" The emperor glanced at the glass lamp in Xie's mother's hand, looked at the queen and said, "Good reward!" ”
The queen smiled: "The emperor said that the reward is good, and the noble person really can't snatch it now." ”
"!" Yi Guiren twisted his handkerchief and said angrily, "How can I be so unreasonable." ”
"Yes, if you are reasonable, no one can talk about you!" An Concubine, who has always been unpleasant, said in her words.
"You!" Yigui was anxious, and his face was slightly red.
"Okay, okay, it's not too early, let's all disperse." Seeing this, the queen was afraid that these two people would make trouble again, which would make the emperor unhappy, so she opened her mouth to send everyone away.
The emperor also seemed to be a little tired, lazily leaning on the chair and pressing his forehead, and the concubines on both sides were also interested, and they all bowed and retired. Lin Mu'er also retired according to etiquette, and didn't dare to look up at the emperor and queen until she lowered her eyebrows, so until she got into the carriage back to the palace, Lin Mu'er didn't know what the emperor and queen looked like.
After tossing for a while, he finally entered the carriage of the Jin Palace, it was almost noon, the sun was a little dazzling, smelling the wisps of lotus fragrance in the car, Lin Mu'er's tense heart was slightly lowered, and he didn't need to worry about whether the clothes were wrinkled, leaning on the soft pillow, frowning, after Xie's mother on the side placed the glass lamp in her hand, she saw Lin Mu'er frowning and dazed, knowing that the second lady was thinking about things, so she sat on the side with low eyebrows, not good to make a sound.
After a while, Lin Mu'er sighed slightly, glanced at the glass lamp on the small table, and asked, "Mother Xie, what do you think?" ”
Mother Xie was coldly named, stunned, and then said with some caution: "The slave maid thinks that the emperor and queen still value you very much, but it's just ......"
"Just what?" Lin Mu'er asked, rubbing a string of agate bracelets on his wrist.
"This ......" Mother Xie hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "Lord Wang... It was not at war with the Ling Kingdom, and later, the Ling Kingdom sent this lamp to negotiate peace. ”
"Oh?" Lin Mu'er's tone rose slightly, and her eyes changed a little when she looked at this lamp, no wonder the emperor said that the reward was good, it turned out that there was still this layer of things in it. Immediately, Lin Mu'er laughed sarcastically, for a newlywed widow, how to spend a long night, wouldn't it be the best to send a lamp, which is both intimate and sarcastic.
After a while, the carriage arrived at the Jin Palace, Xie's mother lifted the curtain, and saw Fu Ye with a group of stewards waiting outside, Lin Mu'er helped Xie's mother get out of the carriage, Fu Ye still looked smiling, and greeted Lin Mu'er into the palace.
At this time, the gate of the palace has been opened, the incense case has been prepared, Lin Mu'er is a little strange, Fu Ye said with a smile on the side: "Princess Niangniang, the palace will come to pass the decree in a while, the old slave has the courage to help you arrange it, you will have a break in the council hall first." ”
Lin Mu'er knew that the news in the palace was really fast, the emperor had just said that he had just entered the mansion, and the mansion was already ready, so he nodded: "There is Lao Fuye." ”
Fu Ye still smiled: "The old slave doesn't dare." ”
At the time of half a cup of tea, the father-in-law who passed the decree came to the palace, or the father-in-law of Xiao Songzi, holding the decree proudly, Lin Muer received the decree and thanked him, and Fu Ye stuffed a thick red envelope to Xiao Songzi's father-in-law, Xiao Songzi touched the thick red envelope, and smiled more joyfully than Fu Ye.
