Chapter 6 Rites
In a blink of an eye, it was the sixth day of the lunar month, which was Du Qinxin's birthday. It is also a great day to perform the prostration.
If Mrs. Du had done a lot of things before, she would have invited more people to watch the ceremony. But because Du Qinxin and King Rui already had a marriage contract, he was afraid of causing gossip, so he only invited a few good friends to watch the ceremony.
Zhengbin invited the wife of the cabinet minister, Lord Shen, Mrs. Shen has a very high reputation in Beijing, is a kind person, and the two of them have always been good, so it is only fitting to invite her.
"Sister Shen, I'm looking forward to you!" Du Qin saw Shen Lianyue, who he had missed for a long time, and took her arm and pouted.
Xu is because the two ladies have a good relationship, and their daughter is now a close friend of the boudoir.
Shen Lianyue looked like a child, and said with a smile: "They are all people who are going to get married, and they are still so childish!" ”
Du Qinxin listened to Shen Lianyue say this, and suddenly collapsed, and the expression on his face was indescribable.
"Who wants to get married!" Du Qin said innocently.
"Silly girl, you can't talk nonsense, that's a holy marriage!" Shen Lianyue reminded by holding her shoulder.
Shen Lianyue once met Zhao Qirui in the palace, when she was in the palace to accompany Concubine Zhen's seventh princess, and she met by chance, only that hurried side, Shen Lianyue still remembered it vividly.
The appearance is handsome and majestic, especially the soul-soothing peach blossom eyes under a pair of sword eyebrows. It's no wonder that the princess of Fanbang was forced to marry him by death. A man with such a dignified body is really exciting. Back then, Fanbang intended to be close, the princess fell in love with Zhao Qirui, the Fanbang woman was bold and open, and insisted on marrying Zhao Qirui, Zhao Qirui was unwilling, and the woman was forced to die. No one expected that Zhao Qirui would throw a sword to the woman on the spot, and the woman was also fierce and wiped her neck on the spot. Because of the dispute between the two countries, Zhao Qirui personally asked for orders to go on an expedition and slaughtered three cities in Fanbang in three months. This matter spread in Beijing, and King Rui's reputation for ruthlessness also spread.
"Sister Shen, I'll talk to you about this." Du Qin leaned on Shen Lianyue aggrievedly.
"You think about the benefits, after all, it was the Holy God himself who decreed the marriage, and the King of Narui... I won't be wronged in the future. Shen Lianyue knew that Zhao Qirui was not the man Du Qin liked. But the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, and the daughter's family has always been involuntarily.
"I hope so!" Du Qinxin looked helpless. The two of them talked to each other for a while, and when they saw that the hour was almost there, they went to the antechamber.
The proverbial ritual is a very important ritual in a woman's life.
In the end, it is a wax moon day, even if the sun comes out, it is very cold.
Accompanied by a series of ceremonial journeys, the final ceremony was completed. It also means that Du Qinxin can get married.
It's always like this, and the more you want it to pass slowly, the faster it will be.
Chinese New Year's Eve.
This Chinese New Year's Eve is the saddest Chinese New Year's Eve that Du Qinxin has grown up in, and he feels very uncomfortable thinking that he will never be able to watch around the table like this with his mother, father and brother in the future.
Not only Du Qinxin, but the entire Du Mansion is also full of lights, but there is no joy on everyone's faces.
Du Chengye was very worried about his daughter. Since the news of the marriage spread, he also gave up his old face and took the initiative to show favor to King Rui, but King Rui didn't give him any affection. "Xin'er, your mother prepares all the dishes you like to eat, you eat more!"
"Father and mother, you should also use more." Du Qin didn't want everyone to be sad about her, so she forced a smile.
Since Mrs. Du knew about the marriage date, she was busy every day for fear that she would not be able to think about anything and wronged her daughter. Seeing that the wedding date is approaching, I am becoming more and more reluctant in my heart. The daughter who will be raised will be married in a blink of an eye.
Du Minglang has been studying hard these days, Du Qinxin has been to see it a few times, seeing that his brother has lost a lot of weight, and persuading him to combine work and rest, and not to be tired. Du Minglang responded with his mouth, but he still did it every day.
The family hastily ended the reunion dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, and Du Qin refused to go back to his room to rest at his mother's place. Mrs. Du looked at her coquettish daughter snuggled in her arms, stroked her black and shiny hair, coaxed her like she did when she was a child, and watched her fall asleep.
On the second day, Du Qinxin was woken up by the sound of firecrackers outside, and when he opened his eyes, he found that it was not his room, Mrs. Du had already gotten up, and she didn't call her when she saw that she was sleeping soundly.
Last night, Du Qinxin slept in her room, and Master Du slept in the study. I got up early this morning, and the next person came to report that the master had entered the palace! During the Spring Festival, hundreds of officials will rest for seven days, and they will definitely not enter the palace if there is nothing important.
Palace.
"Check for me, I want to see who is so bold!" When Du Chengye rushed to the imperial study, Emperor Ming Yuan was angry. I had already heard about it on the way when I came.
King Rui was seriously injured by an assassin on the way back from the palace last night and is still unconscious.
Du Chengye was shocked when he heard this, except for King Rui himself and his subordinates, King Rui had strong martial arts, and he was surrounded by people with extraordinary skills, so he was injured so badly. Who is going to do this?
"Dali Temple and the Criminal Department will investigate together, and if you can't find out, you all come to see you!" In the imperial study, the prince stood aside, his face heavy. The ministers who knelt on the ground were all scared, like frightened birds.
"Summoning all the imperial doctors in the Tai Hospital, no matter what, I will heal the king of Rui." Emperor Ming Yuan fell to the ground and got something, which shows how angry he is.
"The emperor is angry, and the ministers will strictly investigate and not leak!" Dali Temple Shaoqing Sheng Wu responded.
Emperor Ming Yuan asked them to step down and leave Du Chengye alone! Zhao Qirui's life and death are uncertain now, and it will be the second day of February. Du Chengye was also very worried in his heart. But he had to persuade him, "Don't worry, the emperor is in a hurry, Rui Wang Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he will be fine." ”
"I want to see who is so bold as to dare to intercept and kill my son!" Emperor Ming Yuan had nothing but her in his heart at this time, and he really couldn't think of anyone else who wanted to put Zhao Qirui to death.
"Du Qing, who do you think will murder King Rui?" Emperor Ming Yuan asked.
Du Chengye was stunned when asked, King Rui acted ruthlessly and decisively, if it was said that it was a lot of offending people, there were not many people who dared to blatantly or even seriously injured him so far.
"The emperor forgives the sin, and the minister can't think of it for a while!" Du Chengye knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty. Without evidence, how dare Du Chengye say nonsense.
Emperor Ming Yuan looked at Du Chengye and was silent for a long time.
"Du Qing, don't know people clearly!!" Emperor Ming Yuan dropped such a sentence and went to visit Zhao Qirui.
Du Chengye's expression was solemn, and he thought about the last words of Emperor Ming Yuan. "Can't know anyone?"
When he returned to the house, Du Chengye informed his wife of the incident, and Mrs. Du didn't expect such a big event, and after thinking about it, she still didn't tell Du Qinxin, only sighed that her daughter's life was miserable, and if King Narui really died......
After three days of worrying, Beijing was panicked because of this incident, and there was no festive and peaceful atmosphere in the streets. Dali Temple and the Criminal Department investigated for three days without yielding, and they were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
Zhao Qirui was in a coma for three days and still didn't wake up, Emperor Ming Yuan sent several fires, and the people in the Tai Hospital took turns guarding day and night, for fear that one would accidentally lose his head.
The injury was not light, but fortunately, it was not a fatal injury and he could go to the ground in two or three days, Zhao Qirui drank a lot of wine that night, and he was a little drunk when he left the palace. When someone chooses to start, I'm afraid there will be eyeliner in the palace.
Concealed Du Qinxin for a few days, but the paper was not popular after all, Su Qing went out to buy things for Du Qinxin, and heard that King Rui had an accident, so he hurriedly rushed back to the house to inform Miss of the matter.
"Really?" Du Qin's heart frowned.
"It's spread all over the capital!" Su Qing listened to everyone talking about this matter, and there should be no fake.
"I'll ask my father!" Du Qinxin hurriedly ran to find Du Chengye and wanted to ask.
The divorce period is not a few days, and if something really happens to King Narui, I am afraid that he will have to bear the reputation of Kefu.
The courtyard gate that had just left the Liuxin Courtyard bumped into Yun Jin head-on, and Yun Jin was also in a hurry like himself, and the two of them bumped into each other.
"Why are you so unruly, what should you do if you hurt Miss?" Su Ling impulsively reprimanded Yun Jin. That Yunjin fell to his knees, "Yunjin damn it, he bumped into Miss!" ”
Du Qinxin personally helped him up and glared at Su Ling beside him. "It's okay, are you hurt?"
"Yunjin is fine, Miss Xie cares!"
Yun Jin has rarely come to Liuxin Courtyard since Du Qinxin didn't let her serve the marquis, isn't something wrong with being in such a hurry? "Miss Yunjin, is there something wrong?" Du Qinxin asked.
"Yun Jin came to ask Miss about something, Yun Jin heard that King Rui was seriously injured, but is it true?"
Du Qin's heart was stunned by the question. Shouldn't this Yunjin hate Zhao Qirui, with such a panicked and anxious expression, he doesn't want to hate anyone. Du Qin was puzzled.
"Is there such a thing? I haven't heard of it! Where did Miss Yunjin get the news? Du Qin didn't understand, she only heard about Zhao Qirui's injury when she asked Su Qing to leave the house today, how did she get the news from a woman who didn't go out all day?
"Yunjin... Yun Jin overheard the other sisters say. Yun Jin didn't expect that Du Qinxin didn't know yet. Calm down a little, regretting that I was too anxious.
Yun Jin thought that he was the future husband of the young lady, if it was true, he was worried that the young lady would be sad and sad, so he came to visit the young lady! Xu is the slave misheard. ”
Du Qinxin felt that something was wrong with this Yunjin, but he didn't embarrass her and let her go back to rest.
When Yunjin left, Du Qinxin went to find his father and asked if it was true.
"Father, is King Rui really seriously injured?" Du Qinxin asked the doubts in his heart directly.
Du Chengye didn't expect that Du Qinxin already knew at this time, "Who did you listen to?" ”
"So it's true?" Du Chengye couldn't hide it anymore, so he told Du Qinxin everything about it.
Du Qinxin listened to the expression on his face becoming more and more solemn, he had been in a coma for several days and had not woken up, he was afraid that he was more than lucky, if this was the case, what should he do?
Du Chengye didn't know what to say. In the past few days, I have been thinking in my heart, if King Rui really can't do it, how will my heart deal with itself in the future?
"Master, there is news in the palace that King Rui has woken up!"
