August 14, the crown prince and the side concubine ceremony officially began in the Taihe Palace, this morning, the whole palace was busy early, the emperor Xiao Tianjing, the queen Chan Suer, plus the concubines of the palace, also gathered together rarely, before the time came to the Taihe Hall to sit down, the time is not enough, the civil and military officials also arrived, first worshiped the emperor, then according to the arrangement of the Ministry of Rites on both sides of the carved dragon avenue in front of the Taihe Palace, and outside the ministers, there are countless eunuchs and palace maids, holding all kinds of wedding objects needed, fruit cakes, ginseng tea and wine, as well as hundreds of musicians of the Rite and Music Division, put on the largest battle they could pose, the piano and the gongs and drums shook the sky.

In addition, perhaps because the assassination case the day before yesterday stung Emperor Xiao Tianjing's nerves, at this moment, except for the area in front of the Taihe Palace, the rest of the places are densely packed with freshly dressed and brightly armored Imperial Forest Army and Ouchi guards, five steps and one person, ten steps and one sentry, even compared to the large battalion in the army, it is not inferior.

On the side of the East Palace, Xiao Yixuan got up earlier than everyone else, and when he was in the middle of the day, he was already dressed neatly and waited in the Taihe Hall early, but this ceremony, he really didn't have much to do, and after meeting the emperor and queen and the concubines from all walks of life, he only had to wait for his three side concubines to go to the palace, and then follow the guidance of the ceremonial officials, accept the worship of hundreds of officials, worship the ancestors, and the ceremony can be completed.

An Mulan and the Xiao sisters had been sent outside the Taihe Gate in advance earlier, and they would not enter through the side door until near noon, until in front of the Taihe Palace, where there would be some palace people who temporarily played the role of their family members and transported the dowries prepared for them by the palace with the team, although the royal family would not be rare These dowries, but after all, there are still some forms to go.

Look at the Taihe Hall again, wait until the ministers are all together, it will be time for the palace people to be busy, today is not as good as the court, it is a happy day, then the rules are not so strict, I saw a low table cushion was sent to the ministers one after another, and as soon as they sat down, there were melons, fruits, cakes and even all kinds of wine sent, so that the slightly serious atmosphere before was gone, and when all the officials sat down, they all got up and toasted to the emperor of the Taihe Palace, Then the former father-in-law thanked the emperor with all his honor, and the entire Taihe Hall became a super-large gathering scene of laughter and laughter.

In the Taihe Palace, the emperor is naturally sitting on the main seat, the Dayue Dynasty is respected on the left, the queen is sitting on his left hand side, and its right hand side is Qi Guifei Wang Qian'er, the biological mother of the fourth prince Xiao Yilong, on both sides of the queen and Qi Guifei, the rest of the concubines are lined up, sitting in a semicircle, facing the gate of the Taihe Palace.

And Xiao Yixuan, as the crown prince and the protagonist of today, naturally sits in the middle of the emperor's head, on both sides of him, and the other four princes also sit on their sides, and because the emperor Xiao Tianjing's parents died before he sat in the country, so all the people in the Dayue royal family are all inverted.

When the family gets together, it is inevitable that they will talk about some parents, even if the royal family is no exception, when everyone in the hall sat down for a while, everyone chatted about the day, Xiao Tianjing, who has always been silent on weekdays, seems to be in a very good mood today, although it is still blocked by a thick gauze curtain, but he can't help but say a few more words, at the moment many concubines and several princes are naturally flattering, the atmosphere is really not warm.

Xiao Yilian and Xiao Yixuan have the best relationship, naturally sitting on his left hand, at this time this guy has been drinking several glasses in a row, and he already has a feeling of fluttering, seeing that Xiao Yixuan is wearing a gorgeous dress at this time, sitting in a precarious appearance, he thought that the other party was nervous, so he comforted him: "Brother Huang, why are you so nervous?" Do you know that once today is over, you can sing and sing all night and enjoy all the good things in the world! The younger brother looks at those imperial sisters-in-law, but they are all shocking and beautiful, hehe, maybe it won't be long before the father and the emperor will be able to hug his imperial grandson, the younger brother is really envious of you It's too late! ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yixuan smiled bitterly in his heart, he wanted to relax a little, but this dress was really cumbersome and complicated, as long as he moved slightly, it would be all messed up, he sat so upright, in fact, he couldn't help himself, but he naturally wouldn't say this kind of thing, so he sneered and responded: "What are you doing here, envy me for what you are doing, if you want to say that you are also a dignified prince, if you want to sing the same song every night, go back and talk to your fairy moth, don't you have a few side princesses?" ”

"Brother Huang, you're laughing at me!"

When the words fell, Xiao Yilian's face darkened, and then he lowered his voice and said in his ear: "With the character of my tigress, do you think she can agree to call me a concubine?" I dare say that as long as I marry someone into the door with my front foot, she can knock me out with the girl with her back foot, and there is no place to cry if she wants to! ”

Xiao Yixuan laughed secretly in his heart when he heard this, what the other party said was also true, how brave Liu Xian Moth was, the five princes present were all clear, and it was also to blame that Xiao Tianjing, since the establishment of the dynasty, the rules have been set, before the prince was crowned king, he had to live in the palace, and except for Xiao Yixuan, the other four princes all lived in the East Fifth Institute on the edge of the imperial garden.

Seeing that the corners of Xiao Yixuan's mouth were slightly upturned, as if he was laughing at himself, Xiao Yilian was also depressed, his eyes rolled at the moment, and then he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Eh, Brother Huang, look at the second child, why did he look like he had eaten flies since he came today?" That face is so green that it catches up with the grape in my hand, are you provoking him again? ”

"What do I have nothing to do to provoke him?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yixuan said disdainfully, but he still turned his head to look at Xiao Yiquan on his right, and at this glance, he happened to meet the other party's gaze, and then saw that Xiao Yiquan snorted coldly, and slammed the wine glass in his hand on the table, and he didn't care if the wine was splashed, and his expression could be described as resentment.

Seeing this, Xiao Yixuan couldn't help but feel strange, and immediately asked, "Second brother, what are you making trouble about?" ”

"Why do you want to ask knowingly, brother!"

When the words fell, I saw Xiao Yiquan snort coldly, then turned his head, and didn't turn back to look at him, no matter how much he asked, he wouldn't say a word more.

In this regard, although Xiao Yixuan was strange in his heart, he didn't pay much attention to it, after all, watching the second child eat deflated was still a very pleasant thing for him.

At this moment, Liang Anlu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came from outside the palace, kowtowed to Xiao Tianjing and said: "Your Majesty, noon has arrived, do you want to invite the five princes and concubines into the palace?" ”

"Let's get started."

When the words fell, I heard Xiao Tianjing, who was at the top, speak, but this time, Xiao Yixuan was stunned.

Five? An Mulan plus the Xiao sisters, how can they not reach five? Could it be that this Liang Anlu is dizzy and makes such a low-level mistake at this moment?

Thinking like this, Xiao Yixuan looked behind him with a puzzled expression, but saw that his mother Chan Su'er did not have anything unusual after hearing this, but smiled and winked at him, as if she was very proud.

seemed to notice Xiao Yixuan's abnormality, and the next moment, I heard Xiao Tianjing smile and say: "Yixuan, I have already informed you that there should be at least five people to choose a concubine this time, but in the end, you still only chose three, well... Although you were suddenly assassinated that day, and it was really helpless to interrupt the draft, there were still some show girls who didn't play, right? In this way, I will make the decision for you, and I have personally selected two more, and now I will inform you in advance, and I will not make any jokes later. ”
