Volume 1: Da Chu Chapter 27: Marriage
"Tsk, fourth sister, you have a lot of momentum in this palace, what are you doing?" As soon as the prince entered the door, he saw such a chaotic scene, and couldn't help but say.
Hanyue saw that the prince's brother was coming, so she hurriedly threw down a bunch of clothes and hurriedly walked over, holding his hand affectionately and coquettishly.
"Brother Prince came just in time, hurry, I asked the dining room to prepare your favorite osmanthus steamed chestnut cake, come and try it!" She took the prince's hand and walked towards her inner palace, not caring at all about the etiquette of men and women.
However, they are brothers and sisters, and they were both born in the belly of the queen, so even if they are too close, they will not let people gossip more.
Hanyue pulled him to sit down, personally poured him a cup of tea, and then served the pastries that had been prepared a long time ago and placed them in front of him.
The prince probed with his hand and found that the pastry was still warm, apparently having already guessed that he was coming.
"Oh what ink, try it!" Hanyue blinked at him with her little face with both hands, urging him to try the taste quickly.
The prince smiled, took a piece of milky yellow pastry and tasted it, the taste was sweet and fragrant, and nodded, it tasted good.
"Nothing to be courteous, let's say, suddenly so good to this palace, but what do you have to ask my brother again?" The prince put down the pastry and spoke her mind bluntly.
Han Yue was ashamed and pushed him awkwardly: "What did the prince's brother say, could it be that Hanyue was not good to his brother before?" ”
The crown prince was pushed and staggered, helped himself to stand up and made a gesture of leaving: "Since there is nothing to do, then the palace is going to report something to my father?" ”
Saying that, wanting to leave here, Hanyue was willing to do it, quickly blocked him from leaving, pinched his shoulders again, and pushed him to sit down.
"Oh, okay, okay, the prince's brother knows that he is making fun of me, but my sister just wants to know if the person agreed to go?" Hanyue said vaguely.
The prince asked knowingly, "That person?" Who is that man? ”
"Brother Prince, you are like this, my sister will ignore you!" Han Yue pouted and turned her back to him, looking a little angry.
The prince looked at it, but he didn't dare to tease her and tease her too much, stretched out his hand to turn her body, and then said seriously: "Okay, can he not agree to the invitation from his father?" Rest assured, you'll be dressed up and ready for the evening. ”
Hearing the news she wanted to hear, Han Yue's mouth disappeared, and she was about to ask some more details, but several palace maids came up with a piece of clothing at this time.
"Princess, the Imperial Clothes Shop has already sent the clothes, and the princess wants to try whether it fits now?" The palace maid of this song sent the clothes to Princess Hanyue.
Seeing this, it was inconvenient for the prince to stay here, he stood up and touched Hanyue's head: "Okay, you can prepare well, and if there is something else in the palace, you will leave first." ”
"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The palace ladies sent him away in unison.
After the prince left, Hanyue set her eyes on the upper body embroidered with colorful blue pipa sleeves wrapped with peony pattern gold brocade, and the lower skirt was a lake green fluffy line eight immortals wishing longevity picture silk water skirt.
Hanyue couldn't wait to put it on and try it on, in front of the mirror, she had a white and tender goose egg face, under her eyebrows were meteor-like eyes, thick and soft long hair, and if you looked closely, this person was exquisite.
Wearing the luxurious and courteous silk pipa gold skirt, the whole person is like a peach that has just ripen and exudes a seductive light!
Hanyue nodded with satisfaction, tonight she was going to be the most dazzling woman on the painting boat, she didn't believe that person would not be tempted by her!
…………
After seeing the prince leave, he went to the emperor's heart cultivation hall, stepped in, and found that the third prince and the prime minister were also among them.
"Father!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first bowed to Emperor Chu on the dragon throne, and then turned around and nodded to each other towards the Prime Minister and the three princes, which was regarded as a greeting.
"The winner is coming, how's it, has the invitation been delivered?" Emperor Chu sat on the dragon couch and asked.
The crown prince nodded, and said respectfully: "Back to my father, the Jiangnan Emperor's boat is also all ready, I don't know when my father will board the ship?" ”
Jiangnan Huangfang is a unique painting boat of the Dachu royal family, only the royal family is worthy of riding, and the annual Seventh Sister's Day has already prepared the imperial boat, just waiting for tonight's arrival.
Emperor Chu nodded, and then waved his hand to ask everyone to push down, the minister and the three princes had already finished reporting the matter, and when they saw the emperor's move, they didn't say anything and retreated, and the prince and the emperor of Chu were left in the palace.
Seeing this, the crown prince knew that his father must have something important to tell him, he thought, and the expression on his face gradually became serious.
"Father, what is there to tell your son?" The prince opened his mouth first and asked.
Emperor Chu rubbed the corners of his eyes, put down the fold in his hand and glanced at the prince, "Tonight is the birthday of the seventh sister, and your sister has reached the age of marriage, I am thinking about whether to help Hanyue guide the marriage by the way to tonight's festival." ”
The crown prince and Hanyue were originally compatriots of the same mother, and the relationship between the two siblings has always been good, so Emperor Chu thought about discussing this matter with the prince.
Hanyue is also his heart, and he is a princess who is especially favored among his few children, and in this family matter, as a father, he must try his best to satisfy his daughter's wishes.
After hearing this, the prince lowered his eyes and thought about it, he had just gone to see Hanyue, how could he not know that his sister had long been in love with Prince Nanli, and it happened that his father asked about her relatives, so he might as well push the boat down the river.
Thinking in his heart, he looked up at Emperor Chu again, and said, "Father, my sons went to the fourth sister's residence before coming to see the emperor, and found that the fourth sister was preparing for tonight's festival with great fanfare!" ”
When Emperor Chu heard this, his thick black eyebrows rose slightly, and he was slightly surprised: "Oh? Doesn't she dislike this kind of festival the most on weekdays, why is she so different from ordinary today? ”
Hearing his father ask him, the prince smiled slightly, and said, "My sister is still pestering her sons to ask if the king will go to Yuzhou Lake tonight." ”
Hearing this, Emperor Chu on the dragon couldn't sit still, he stood up and walked to the prince's face and asked carefully, "Could it be that Hanyue is actually moved by that passage?" ”
The crown prince nodded with a smile on his face, and continued: "I watched that my sister was indeed different from the Duan King who came from afar, and my father thought about how my sister looked at that Duan Wang at the reception banquet some time ago. ”
When Emperor Chu heard this, he seemed to bow his head and think about it, and the dance of Hanyue appeared in front of him that day, and after recalling it, he realized that his daughter was really moved by that passage.
"Hahaha, okay, I'm worried that Hanyue can't find a good marriage, but I didn't expect her to have a plan for a long time!" Emperor Chu laughed, if this marriage really came to fruition, it would not be a loss to Hanyue at all!
If Hanyue and Duan Yi succeeded, he would not only satisfy his daughter's thoughts, but also envelop the relationship with Nan Liguo, and it would be no wonder that he was happy about this good thing.
However, Emperor Chu paused with a smile and asked again: "What is the relationship between Yi in Nanli, have you ever been married?" ”
When the prince heard this, he had already prepared, and before Duan Zi reached Dachu, he made Duan Yi's life experience clear inside and out.
"Back to my father, my son has investigated, that Duan Yi has a special identity in Nanli, his parents died early, he became a hereditary prince at a young age, and in the next ten years, he has repeatedly made miraculous achievements in Nanli, won many victories, and almost never lost!"
"It can be said that Nanli is so strong now and Duan Yiyi has won battles for many years and is inseparable from the relationship, some small countries around him dare not invade at all, and most importantly, he has never been married!"
The prince briefly talked about Duan Yi's life experience, and he himself admired Duan Yi a little, he can make many military exploits at a young age, and he is a rare talent!
When Emperor Chu heard this, the smile on his face became more and more intense, if it weren't for Duan Yi's identity, he couldn't wait to give the marriage now!
"Okay, in that case, then I'll be in charge of this matter, and you can go back and get angry with your sister, so that she can have a plan tonight, and stop acting frizzy like usual!" Emperor Chu waved his hand, and Han Yue's family affairs were temporarily decided first, and he had a rough eyebrows.
The prince gave up his orders, and then after explaining some trivial matters about tonight's feast, he took the initiative to confess and leave the Heart Cultivation Palace.
——
On the 7th of July, the day seemed to pass quickly, and the sun soon fell, and the sky gradually became darker.
This night was different from the previous days, the sky had just darkened, and the passing streets were already brightly lit, and many vendors hung lantern riddles on the streets for people to guess.
Duan Yi was walking on the endless streets with a few guards such as Zhongqing and Qingfeng at this time, he didn't bring Yao Ying to tonight's invitation, the two had different identities, Duan Yi didn't need to bring him.
Due to Duan Yi's excessive appearance, in order not to cause unnecessary blockages, he put on a mask before going out, and his whole face revealed a pair of eyes and a mouth, and the rest was all tightly covered by the mask.
But even so, there are still many people on the street who are frequently watching, perhaps because the man's momentum is too strong, and the pedestrians next to him just stop and watch, and do not dare to talk to them.
Duan Yi's eyes were slightly cold, and he walked on the street without saying a word, he originally wanted to take a carriage to Yuzhou Lake, but he thought that the little girl in front of him should be curious about this festival, so he insisted on taking a group of people to go on foot.
As he expected, Zhongqing was indeed full of curiosity about the various food stalls and other things he had never seen on the street, and they stopped and stopped along the way, and every time Zhongqing stopped in front of a stall, they waited in place for a moment.
Fortunately, they came out early, and there was still more than an hour before the time for Emperor Chu to go to the banquet, and they were not in a hurry at all.
"Hey, there's a lantern riddle there, let's go, go over and take a look!" Zhong Qing was holding a string of sugar gourds she had just bought and pointing to a stall in front of her, and after she finished speaking, she excitedly ran over alone to watch.
Duan Yi didn't speak, his footsteps naturally kept up with the woman's pace, and there were many people in front of the booth where the lantern riddle was guessed, and finally Qing slipped to the front like a loach.
Duan Yi didn't squeeze in, he just stood on the outermost periphery and waited, his eyes never leaving the lively woman, for fear that she would be taken away by others by accident.
"Come on, come on, take a look, friends, there are a total of fifty guesses in this round, if anyone can answer all or guess the most correctly can get a night trip to the Flowing Smoke Boat!"
The stall owner shouted, he placed a series of lanterns in front of him, different riddles were written on the lantern paper, this is the first round of guessing lantern riddles, the number of riddles is not limited, whoever solves more in the time of a pillar of incense will win, the number of applicants is five, as long as whoever answers more, who can get the boss's lottery.
