Chapter 208: Shocking Change
"One bow, another bow, three bows······ Five Worships ······"
It's really an evil door, usually it is four bows, how can there be a fifth bow today? Ho, good boy, it's eight worships!
Zhu Qiming finally remembered that there is a kind of etiquette among the people: the elders who are friends with their own family should bow eight times. However, the emperor and himself are clearly equals!
That's right, once the Son of Heaven gets married, he will truly become the father of the world!
He kept thinking carefully, fortunately, at this time, there was no need for others to tell anything, there was a diligent female official on the side, and there was an experienced celebrant and an internal official to sing, it was extremely difficult to be rude, as long as he followed the tone of the celebrant officer, there would be no mistake.
Zhu Qiming and King Yu saluted, the emperor bowed lightly, and then, the two of them should retire, and if they want to continue to join in the fun, there is no door!
Your Majesty, please have a cup of wine to drink!
No, it's good to go!
Your Majesty, can you meet the bride?
OK! Do you want to spend a few years of confinement in the Zongren Mansion?
Your Majesty, then we should be able to make trouble in the cave room, right?
Haunted room? Let's go back to the study alone in the other courtyard!
"King Yue, your words and deeds are a little different." The emperor suddenly left his seat and stepped off the royal platform, there was a complicated meaning in his eyes, and he immediately smiled, "That's it, today is a big day, I'm happy." Stand down. ”
With the emperor's strange eyes floating in his mind for a long time, and the emperor's intriguing words echoing in his ears, Zhu Qiming followed King Yu out of Fengtian Palace.
It is already nightfall, and the lights around the Fengtian Hall are all lit up, and the colorful halls are flashing with a hint of psychedelic color under the glow of the lights.
The sound of drums and court music urges people to fall asleep. In the phantom lights and dream-like music, a team of attendants and palace maids flowed on the palace road near Fengtian Palace, Qianqing Palace, Jiaotai Palace and Kunning Palace.
There were bursts of whistling and crackling sounds, but I saw the fireworks at the four gates of the Forbidden City, the sky was full of flowers, and the stars and moon were discolored.
"Boom!"
As if receiving an order, starting from the Forbidden City, fireworks soared into the sky in turn from the Imperial City, the Inner City, and the Outer City, and the night sky of the entire capital was blooming and burning.
"Crackling ······"
The deafening sound of artillery battles covered all the sounds between heaven and earth, and expressed the heartfelt blessings of the people from the official eunuchs to the people of Lishu.
It's a day of celebration for all!
"King Yue, you see, the person in front of you is the internal official and the young eunuch, it seems that his name is Xiao Hai, and he is the old man of the East Palace back then." Near Fengtianmen, King Yu attached himself to Zhu Qiming's ear and shouted loudly, so that his voice could drown out the deafening sound of the cannonball, "He may be more familiar with Xining than Wang Zhen!" ”
Zhu Qiming blocked out the noise around him, and looked at the eyes of King Yu, only to see a thin old internal official coming towards him, his thick and long eyebrows were white, and the drooping part almost covered his eyes.
"See His Royal Highness King Yu, see His Royal Highness King Yue." Xiao Hai saluted, and when he was wrong with Zhu Qiming, he suddenly stopped again, "His Royal Highness King Yue, the emperor is married, and the prince will be rewarded as usual." I'm afraid it's too late tonight, I'll go to the other courtyard tomorrow morning to send a reward, I wonder if His Highness will get it? ”
Will the availability of this king hinder you from giving a reward? Zhu Qiming was puzzled, thinking that the internal officials and supervisors were in charge of the weddings in the Forbidden City, and the rewards at the wedding should naturally be distributed by the internal officials and supervisors, but wouldn't it be okay to hand over the rewards to Cui Mama and them, why do you have to find this king?
He laughed secretly, and wanted to leave, but suddenly his heart moved, and he turned to look at Xiao Hai with a smile, "This king is free tomorrow." ”
Xiao Hai is an old man next to the emperor, why is he still a young eunuch? Seeing Xiao Hai walk away, Zhu Qiming wanted to open his mouth to ask King Yu, but at a glance, he caught a glimpse of Xining leading a group of chamberlains from the east side.
Xi Ning's gaze seemed to move frequently between the backs of Zhu Qiming and Xiao Hai.
"I'll go first." Leaving these words, the king walked away quickly.
At this time, it was the turn of the concubines to congratulate the queen, and they saw a group of beauties coming together more than ten zhang away from Xining, during which they could vaguely see the lonely Zhou and the indifferent Qin.
Zhu Qiming didn't dare to stay here, so he immediately went out of Fengtianmen, called the imperial chamberlain who was in charge of delivering the decree and accompanying him, and walked towards the outside of the noon gate.
To celebrate the emperor's wedding, you have to be escorted, where to reason! Zhu Qiming muttered to himself
When I returned to the courtyard, I found a familiar smell wafting from the study.
"Sister!"
Zhu Qiming quickly stepped into the study, and saw Cui Mama, Yin'er, and Qu Qing talking and laughing around Lu Xiyu, and when Zhu Qiming entered the study, Cui Mama beckoned Yin'er and Qu Qing to retreat.
"Your Highness, the slave maid and others will go to the high platform to watch the fireworks."
Lu Xiyu glanced at Zhu Qiming with disgust, "After waiting for you for more than an hour, I wanted to leave, but you came back again." ”
"Hehe, my sister doesn't know, the big wedding is very cumbersome, and I can't help myself. Eh, sister sits. ”
Zhu Qiming moved to Lu Xiyu's side, and he smelled a faint fragrance.
"It's getting late, I need to go back as soon as possible." Lu Xiyu's expression became charming, but the topic mentioned made people feel heavy, "I guess you've heard about being too adult." Elder Yang Ge said that many officials in the DPRK and China do not seem to treat the adults very well, and it is inconvenient for Yang Gelao to say anything alone, because he is worried that the DPRK and China will set off a bigger turmoil, which will be unfavorable to the adults. ”
It's Yang Ge Lao again! Zhu Qiming secretly bared his teeth.
"Oh, there are both foreign and internal officials who impeached the adults, and the adults have also been imprisoned. Later, King Yu secretly operated, and Yu Da was able to get out of prison. ”
King Servant? It seems that this person who has been hit hard has repented, and the energy he has accumulated is really not to be underestimated!
"Did King Yu intercede in front of the emperor?"
"It's not. I heard that the king secretly put great pressure on some people, and those people had to let go. ”
Zhu Qiming pondered when he heard this, and was speechless for a while.
Lu Xiyu turned his head to look at the bookcase, and suddenly covered his mouth and sneered, "You are diligent in practicing calligraphy, and looking at the words you write, it seems that you are preparing for the above table." ”
"Hey, those days of drunkenness and scribbling, what are you practicing calligraphy!" Zhu Qiming rolled up the stacks of paper on the bookcase and hurriedly stuffed them into the gap in the bookshelf, "The queen may prefer to look at her sister's hand, otherwise, this watch will be written by my sister, and it will also allow me to leave a good impression on the queen!" ”
Lu Xiyu tilted his head and groaned slightly, "No, you still have to do it yourself." I have to go. ”
"We haven't said anything, so why rush to leave?" Zhu Qiming ran over and grabbed Lu Xiyu's sleeve.
Lu Xiyu's face turned red, and he hesitated for a long time before he twisted and pinched to break free from Zhu Qiming's hand, went to the bookcase and sat down, spread out a blank note, and began to write.
Zhu Qiming slowly walked over to sit across the case from Lu Xiyu, stared at it, and saw that there was still a trace of shyness on her face, her bright eyes were reflected in the candle flame, occasionally fluttering with her eyelashes, and the afterglow seemed to stay in the air for a long time.
The air is filled with the scent of ink, and there is an intoxicating fragrance······
Zhu Qiming didn't want to spoil the moving picture in front of him, so he got up slowly, tiptoed and walked gently towards the door.
When dipping in ink, Lu Xiyu asked lightly: "I'll give you a watch, you should always do something for me, right?" ”
"I'll give you two geese." Zhu Qiming's voice was already outside the door.
Lu Xiyu suddenly woke up, "Nonsense! Giving geese is a gift for Nacai······" Turning his head to look at the door, how can he still see the figure of the "joker"?
Sending wild geese, doing Nacai gifts, means the beginning of a marriage, even the gift is so romantic, it will remind people of Yuan Haowen's praise of the wild goose, "ask what is the love in the world, and teach life and death to promise." The wild goose has been a symbol of loyal love since ancient times!
Zhu Qiming stood on the corridor by the railing. The night sky is still full of flowers, and the Forbidden City is still brightly lit, but there are no lights near the courtyard, and the darkness engulfs the shadows of the trees and the outline of the temple, blocking the boundless prosperity in the distance.
Only the candlelight projected from the side of the study illuminated the corner of the small pond, and with the candlelight, there was a vague figure.
The night breeze blew through a pool of lotus leaves, sending wisps of faint lotus fragrance. He climbed the railing, and wanted to sit on the railing, alone to appreciate the prosperity of the night sky and the lights in the distance, as if in this way, he would be closer to the prosperity.
"Ahh
Suddenly, I felt a numbness in my waist, my whole body was weak, and a deep sleepiness hit my mind. He screamed softly.
Cui Mama and the others had already gotten off the high platform, laughing and walking towards the corridor, but they couldn't be seen in the dark.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with Your Highness?" Probably hearing Zhu Qiming's soft voice, Cui Mama screamed anxiously.
In the chaotic footsteps, he fell sideways and fell into the small pool with a "poof".
Breath! Instinctively remembered Jiang Yi's command many years ago, and he did it again. He was a landlubber, and he was so weak that if it weren't for the coolness of the water stimulating his brain, he would have fallen asleep. Alas, I don't know if the taste of being asleep in the water is the same as that of fish!
His hands touched the mud at the bottom of the pool, and he tried to struggle to surface, but he was weak.
Caught by the collar in a daze, his body began to move, and when he could breathe air again, he noticed two concerned eyes staring at him.
Sister, it turns out that you are such a good swimmer!
Finally, he glanced at the water hibiscus in front of him, and Mama Cui who was holding the palace lamp and screaming, and he fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, he woke up leisurely, regained some strength in his body, turned his head to look, and found that he was lying on the couch, changing into clean clothes.
"Qi Ming, are you okay?"
He met the anxious gaze of the Queen Mother. Behind the queen mother, there stood a large group of palace maids and chamberlains.
"Thank you Queen Mother, Qi Ming is fine."
He searched for Lu Xiyu's figure in the crowd, but only saw the dejected faces of Mama Cui, Yin'er, and Qu Qing.
"It's all to blame for the broom star of the Lu family, who harmed Qi Ming like this!"
She saved me! Zhu Qiming wanted to make a defense, but suddenly felt unbearable pain, and suddenly howled and rolled on the couch.
"Qi Ming, Qi Ming, what's wrong with you!"
In the exclamation of the queen mother, Zhu Qiming's complexion changed significantly, his face, neck, and hands were dazzling blue-black, and after a while, dense small bumps appeared in these parts, and the pimples became bigger and bigger, and finally squeezed together.
The exclamations suddenly stopped. "Quickly pass on the Imperial Doctor!"
