Chapter Seventy-Three: Saving the Scene
When Gu Yunlong came over panting, the gate of the palace slowly opened, and Xiao Hanmo walked out slowly, wearing regular clothes, not even the groom's official clothes, Zhou Zizhen felt for a moment that he had made a mistake about the wedding time.
Gu Yunlong played a round game, "Lord Wang, today's wedding, you should wear the clothes of the groom's official, why are the servants so careless, and take the regular clothes for the prince to wear." Lord, Your Majesty heard in the palace that the wedding was not going well, so he specially sent a servant to assist, don't miss the auspicious time. ”
Xiao Hanmo reluctantly said: "Then come in!" ”
Zhou Zizhen was very dissatisfied, "Regent, according to etiquette, you should have carried your bride into the church on your back." ”
Xiao Hanmo's eyes were about to roll to the sky, "Isn't she without long legs, can't she walk in?" If she chooses Xun Lingjun to get married, I think Xun Lingjun will give enough face, I haven't reminded the princess, don't blame her, anyway, she hasn't passed the door, and there is still time to regret it. ”
"The prince can't say that, His Majesty is still very optimistic about the wedding of the prince and the princess, the prince said this, Your Majesty will inevitably be cold, or help the bride into the palace!" Gu Yunlong stubbornly persuaded.
Xiao Hanmo glanced at the sedan chair, feeling a little empty, he was afraid that Xiao Tianyu would be angry.
As soon as Xiao Hanmo came back yesterday, he saw that the entire palace was red, and he was upset when he saw it, so he asked people to withdraw all the things they got married, and left the word "Xi" stuck in the hall, in addition, as long as it was red, it was not allowed to stay.
The people of the Ministry of Rites arranged the palace with a particularly wedding atmosphere, and red paper-cut paintings were pasted everywhere, and the people were busy all night, and even the housekeeper had to roll up his sleeves and tear up the happy words, and finally got it done before dawn according to Xiao Hanmo's meaning.
Gu Yunlong saw that Xiao Hanmo didn't react, so he went to push the door of the palace open, but the guards at the door didn't stop him, Gu Yunlong pushed the door open, revealing a corner of the palace, which was a very ordinary flower and tree, and the corridor extended to the inside of the palace, which looked no different from the ordinary palace.
But is it a normal day? Of course not!
Even though Gu Yunlong had seen some strong winds and waves with Xiao Tianyu's side, at this moment, he felt that he was still a little tender, and he didn't know how to deal with this matter.
Zhou Zizhen really hopes that he made a mistake in the marriage date, otherwise why did Xiao Hanmo wear regular clothes, and there was no red color in the palace.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu also saw the interior of the palace, his face changed, Xiao Tianyu handed over the matter to the Ministry of Rites, why is there no atmosphere in the palace to get married, and how to save the scene now.
A small sedan chair was carried to the door of the palace, attracting everyone's attention, Xun Lingjun got down from the sedan chair, and saw a corner of the palace from the door, and was also a little surprised, Xun Lingjun was the prime minister, and quickly put away his surprise and walked in front of Xiao Hanmo.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty ordered me to come and take a look. Hurry up and help the bride out, and hurry up to the church. Xun Lingjun's aura was full and he commanded on the spot.
Here Xun Lingjun can cure Xiao Hanmo, Xiao Hanmo held his breath, snatched the red silk from his subordinates, held one end by himself, Zhou Jingrui held the other end, and pulled her into the palace.
Xun Lingjun arched his hand and said: "When the first emperor was there, the regent was very favored, His Majesty respected the regent, and the regent was arrogant, which made the eldest prince laugh." ”
Zhou Zizhen's face softened slightly, "Thank you, Prime Minister." ”
Xiao Hanmo helped Zhou Jingrui into the palace, his face was long, and he was very unhappy.
Zhou Zizhen and Xun Lingjun followed Xiao Hanmo in, and the housekeeper took the two of them to take a shortcut and arrived in the hall in advance, and in the hall, the concubine sat in the hall.
Zhou Zizhen and Xun Lingjun saluted.
"I've seen the concubine."
The concubine smiled and said, "The eldest prince, prime minister, get up!" The Great Prince, please be seated. ”
Zhou Zizhen didn't shirk either, sitting on the chair next to the concubine, Xun Lingjun stood aside, waiting for Xiao Hanmo and Zhou Jingrui to come over.
Xiao Hanmo helped Zhou Jingrui into the hall.
The ceremonial officer sang, "The bride and groom bow to the church." Worship heaven and earth. ”
Zhou Jingrui knelt outside, feeling that the other end of the silk was a little weird, and looked to the side, it turned out that Xiao Hanmo did not kneel.
The ceremonial officer sang again: "Worship heaven and earth." ”
Xiao Hanmo still didn't kneel.
Xun Lingjun came to the side of the ceremonial official and said in a low voice: "Don't worry about it. ”
The ceremonial officer continued: "The second worship of the high hall. ”
Zhou Jingrui stood up, turned around, and knelt down towards the concubine and Zhou Zizhen, Xiao Hanmo did not kneel, but he bowed anyway, and he also looked at the concubine's face.
"Husband and wife worship each other."
Zhou Jingrui stood up and bowed to Xiao Hanmo, but Xiao Hanmo avoided it, unwilling to accept her salute.
Zhou Jingrui's tears fell, if it weren't for the red hijab to cover it, Zhou Jingrui's tears would definitely be seen by everyone, Zhou Zizhen couldn't see his sister sad the most, if he saw Zhou Jingrui crying, he would definitely fight with Xiao Hanmo.
The maidservant helped Zhou Jingrui to the room, and the next thing was to eat the banquet, Xiao Hanmo toasted at the table, Gu Yunlong left quietly, went to the palace to report to Xiao Tianyu, and Xun Lingjun returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion to continue to approve official documents.
Xiao Hanmo toasted table by table, and after the toast, he drank with himself, and the wine jar at his feet became more and more piled up.
There was nothing to do with Zhou Zizhen next, after Zhou Jingrui left, Zhou Zizhen toasted Xiao Hanmo and left, the concubine should not stay outside the palace for too long, and she will return to the palace after worshipping the hall.
After drinking until the evening, Xiao Hanmo had already drunk seven meat and eight vegetables, and the guests left.
Xiao Hanmo's personal servant asked, "Lord, it's late at night, it's time to go to the princess's room to rest, and the slave will help you over." ”
Xiao Hanmo's mind was very clear, but his body was a little disobedient, and he gave his personal servant a slap, "Shut up, there is no princess in our palace, only a princess." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." The personal servant lowered his head, "Lord Wang, the slave helped you over." ”
Xiao Hanmo gave him another slap: "This king won't go." ”
Xiao Hanmo pushed away the little guy and walked out of the door with a shake.
The personal servant hurriedly said: "Lord, where are you going?" ”
"No one is allowed to follow!"
Xiao Tianyu was paralyzed on the collapse reading a book, and Gu Yunlong knelt on the collapse to massage Xiao Tianyu's head.
Xiao Tianyu was holding the art of war in his hand, he couldn't read a word, and his mind was very messy.
Gu Yunlong cautiously reminded, "Your Majesty, your book is reversed. ”
Xiao Tianyu came back to his senses, the book was indeed reversed, Xiao Tianyu threw the book on the table, and sighed: "I am in turmoil, sometimes I am thinking about how Shen Xingzhou is training now, and I am also thinking about Xiao Hanmo's marriage, and I am upset. ”
Gu Yunlong said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the slave dares to say a word, Your Majesty is either worried about the regent and the Shen guards, or Your Majesty is in love with them, after all, one is married, and the other has not seen His Majesty for a long time." ”
Xiao Tianyu was a little confused: "You explain it to me clearly." ”
Gu Yunlong lowered his head, "Your Majesty, the slave is talking nonsense." ”
Xiao Tianyu closed her eyes and enjoyed the massage.
There was a commotion outside, and Xiao Tianyu opened his eyes, "Gu Yunlong, go out and see what happened." ”
Gu Yunlong walked out, and came back not long after, "Your Majesty, it was the regent who broke in, and the regent was full of alcohol, and he wanted to see His Majesty." ”
Xiao Tianyu propped his head, "Help him go to the house where he used to live, and let him see me when he sobers up." ”
The next day, Xiao Hanmo woke up, only feeling that this place was very familiar, and after the hangover, his head tingled and stabbed.
The tent was opened, revealing Gu Yunlong's face, "Lord Wang, Your Majesty has sent servants to serve the Lord Wang." The slave prepared a sobering soup for the prince, so let the prince drink a little. ”
Xiao Hanmo then remembered that he ran to the palace last night and was almost hacked to death by the guards as an assassin.
Xiao Hanmo packed himself up and went to the imperial dining room to find the diligent Xiao Tianyu, if you ignore that he is full of alcohol, he is a handsome guy.
"Don't come here, it stinks." Xiao Tianyu said disgustedly.
Xiao Hanmo silently took two steps back.
Xiao Tianyu continued to approve the folds, approved two copies, found that Xiao Hanmo didn't say anything, raised his head, and found that Xiao Hanmo was looking at her with "resentment", so frightened that Xiao Tianyu's hands trembled, and the ink on the brush dripped on the folds, fainting into a black dot the size of a dime coin.
Xiao Tianyu continued to criticize, pretending not to see the ink dot, "Wen Xiang nephrite is beside me, how can the prince have the heart to come here." ”
Xiao Hanmo threw a wink at Xiao Tianyu, but unfortunately Xiao Tianyu kept his head down and was busy, and he didn't see Xiao Hanmo's wink, "Your Majesty, I seem to smell a strong smell of vinegar, you say, what's going on." ”
Xiao Tianyu's expression remained unchanged: "Oh? Why didn't I smell it? The Regent's dog nose is really sensitive. ”
Xiao Hanmo was annoyed and angry, "Who do you say is a dog?" ”
Xiao Tianyu said with a smile: "Whoever promises is a dog." ”
"You ......" Xiao Hanmo has been with you for a long time, but the main lord doesn't even look at him.
After a long time, Xiao Tianyu said lightly: "According to the rules, today should be the day when you take Zhou Jingrui into the palace to meet me and the concubines of the palace, I know that you don't like Zhou Jingrui, but you still have to get by on face, you better go back and bring her quickly." ”
Xiao Hanmo was like a child, "No, I'm not going." ”
Xiao Tianyu said with a smile: "Xiao Hanmo, don't forget, you are the regent, and now you are like a child, and you are not afraid of those slave jokes." ”
The heads of the eunuchs who were waiting in the imperial study lowered their heads even more, lest they annoy Xiao Hanmo and split their heads.
Xiao Tianyu threw a book of folds on a small table next to him, and the folds on the small table were piled up high, and the book that Xiao Tianyu put down became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the stacked folds that were stacked high fell directly to the ground.
A little eunuch hurriedly came forward to tidy up and put it up, but because there were too many, the higher the pile, the easier it was to collapse.
"Your Majesty spares your life, the slave didn't mean it, Your Majesty spares your life." The little eunuch knelt on the ground and kowtowed to admit his mistake.
"That's it," Xiao Tianyu also knew the truth that there were too many things to put unstable, "If you can, you can put it away, and if you can't finish it, you can bring it to the regent." ”
"Yes."
Xiao Hanmo's words, "Is it the minister's impeachment of me?" ”
"You're smart."
Xiao Hanmo said sarcastically: "You can think of it with your toes, those officials are full of food and support, and come to pick our thorns all day long, haven't you been told by them that this is not good and that is not good?" Otherwise, there would be no spokesmen in the court. ”
"This can't be done" Xiao Tianyu knows the role of the speech official, "If there is no speech official, then who would dare to point out my mistakes, and they also point out the mistakes with reasonable evidence, but the words are more intense, and the words are ugly, but the reason is right." ”
Xiao Hanmo took a letter of recital at random, and was so angry that he threw it directly to the ground.
Xiao Tianyu was very calm, "That's already more polite, I've seen people scold me even harder." Pack up and go back, bring your princess to meet me, the etiquette that should be given still has to be given, we are not fully ready to go to war with the Patriotic Nation now! ”
