Chapter II: State Marriage
In a short time, the news of the prince's wedding spread all over the streets and alleys, red lanterns were hung in front of the doors of every house, dyeing the whole sky red, and there were heavy soldiers guarding every ten steps on both sides of the stretching road, which did not look like a hasty wedding at all.
The noisy children were led by their parents to the city gate to receive rations and clothing, and some of the prisoners were pardoned together.
Turning over the palace.
Mu Xiaoxiao, who was in a red wedding dress, stood in front of the mirror, her red lips were delicate, she didn't like to wear fancy clothes on weekdays, so that she was strange and familiar with herself in the mirror.
The old lady sent by the palace sighed on the side, "The crown princess must be no worse dressed than when the queen was young!" "If Lin Yunyao's beauty is a bewitching rose, then Mu Xiaoxiao's beauty is pure, like a wild lily on the side of the mountain, not irritable or discouraged, fresh and elegant, and has a unique flavor.
Mu Xiaoxiao's originally empty eyes had a focus.
It's very strange that she didn't want to marry in every possible way, and after hearing the three words of the crown princess, she chuckled in her heart.
How to say it, it was originally thousands of people who didn't want to be the crown princess. But when I heard this name, I didn't feel bad.
Rights are a good thing.
When Mu Xiaoxiao was in Jiangnan, everything did not go well, she died just after she was born, and then the high halls of the Mu family passed away one after another, Master Mu was sad and invited a master to do it, but I didn't expect the master to see that Mu Xiaoxiao said that this woman is a lonely star, destined for many disasters, and the master must take care of it. Originally, Master Mu didn't take it to heart, but as Mu Xiaoxiao grew up, the master's words came true. Since she was a child, she had a small disaster in three days and a major disaster in seven days. It's always the old wounds that don't heal and the new ones that add to them. Poor Master Mu has only one of her daughters, so she has to do more good deeds to pray for her daughter. Over time, the news that Miss Mu is a lone star has spread, and the people around her dare not approach it, for fear of being infected with bad luck. Don't brag, with the shogunate as the center, there is no one within a hundred steps.
Master Mu saw that the daughters outside the staff around him were all married, and his family Xiaoxiao was still in the boudoir, he was in such a hurry, he couldn't wait to spend his life savings to buy a son-in-law, and finally took the man back to the house casually, and arranged for Mu Xiaoxiao to get engaged to him.
Mu Xiaoxiao, who has always been used to freedom, was naturally unhappy, and ran away from home with the silver in a fit of anger.
It's a pity that not long after she arrived in the capital, she was forced to get married. It seems that she has never been able to escape this phoenix crown, but fortunately, the status of the princess has changed from the earth to the sky.
The old lady next to her saw her swaying, thinking that she was worried about the future days again, so she comforted her, "Don't worry, the crown princess, our prince is a rare beautiful man in the world." ”
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled forcefully.
Adonis? When she is stupid, if she is really a beautiful man, the queen needs to go to the street and pull someone back to marry by the way.
But before Mu Xiaoxiao could speak, the anxious old mother put a red Xipa on her head.
Mu Xiaoxiao, whose eyes were blocked by the red cloth, could only let others help her go.
If you don't say anything, you have to give up.
Anyway, she never believed in love.
――――――――――――――――――――
banquet
A good show was being staged in the center of the main hall, and all the ministers sat in their seats according to their ranks.
Sitting in the first row in the center are, of course, the four most powerful people of the dynasty.
Count from left to right.
The neatly dressed Queen Mother whispered to the Queen Mother on the side of her head, "Yun Yao, do you know what you are doing?" She said with a smile when she was teaching people. may be because there are too many people today, she doesn't want others to watch the excitement, or she doesn't want to tear her face with Lin Yunyao as soon as possible, and the reason may not even be clear to herself.
The empress, who was dressed in jewels, held the laurel crown on her head with her fingertips, and exhaled like an orchid, "Queen Mother Mingjian, Yun Yao is also following her son's will." "It's her usual trick to put the blame on someone else. And the Queen Mother just ate this trick, who called Yun Yao to be her grandson.
She had no choice but to sigh deeply, and then reminded in a stern tone, "Forget about this matter, but you remember that the queen can only be a member of our Lin family." After finishing speaking, he hypocritically clapped with everyone.
"Got it, auntie." An aunt shortened the distance between the two a lot, and the atmosphere of the-for-tat confrontation just now was also resolved.
Lin Yunyao straightened her waist and clapped her hands, and looked at the two women in the back row who were smiling bitterly.
They are the Lin family in the mouth of the Queen Mother, and they are also the daughters of Lin Yunyao's sister and Li Da, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Li Youran and Li Weiran.
The two of them are excellent in appearance, talent and birth. It's a pity that one is too ruthless and the other is too stupid. Lin Yunyao retracted her gaze without a trace, and focused her attention on the center of the hall, and the play happened to be played by the three heroes and Lu Bu.
Lin Yunyao hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled, this is her favorite thing to watch, and the show has finally begun.
The old fox sitting on the right side, Emperor Bo Zhao, looked at it all silently, and then turned his head back silently.
"Your Majesty!" Gonggong Liu, who had followed him for many years, suddenly came to his side and called.
Emperor Bo Zhao's fierce gaze swept over him and motioned for him to continue.
Although Gonggong Liu has served by Emperor Bo Zhao's side for nearly thirty years, he is still not used to his stunning gaze, and lowered his head stupidly, "The prince is a little drunk, why don't you let someone take him back to the mansion first?" ”
Half in the bag? Emperor Bo Zhao looked at Bo Zeyu on the side with some suspicion, his originally ruddy face became red and the wedding dress on his body became the same color, he lay on the chair decadently, closed his eyes lazily, his long eyelashes cast a thin shadow around his eyes, his well-defined chin was raised high, and he was still holding a glass of wine in his hand. It seems that he is not lightly drunk.
"Send the prince home." After obtaining the consent of Emperor Bo Zhao, the three little eunuchs quietly carried the drunken prince out. But it still alarmed Lin Yunyao on the side.
She looked at Emperor Bo Zhao resentfully, as if to say, you obviously know that he is not drunk.
Emperor Bo Zhao glanced at her and told her not to go too far, her son was already cooperative.
Lin Yunyao, who received the signal, did not mess around, and watched the play quietly. To be a queen is to accept it when you see it.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――
On the other side, Mu Xiaoxiao, who was in the Prince's Mansion, was so hungry that he was about to die. She hadn't eaten all day, and her stomach could be heard in the empty room.
"I can't stand it." Mu Xiaoxiao, who waited for two hours, finally lifted the hijab that had been told to be covered.
She originally wanted to go out to find something to eat, but she didn't expect that happiness came too suddenly.
The table in the room is full of all kinds of food, big chicken legs!! Peanuts!! Even her least favorite lotus seeds look delicious.
Mu Xiaoxiao put the heavy crown on the bed, her black hair poured down like a waterfall, and she sat on the stool to eat with brisk steps.
At first, she was afraid of makeup that was thicker than the city wall, but later she even threw away the chopsticks and grabbed them directly with her hands, and the sleeve tube was picked up by her, and there were still scars on her hands that had not completely healed.
The whole chicken was torn apart by her, and with a big chicken leg in one hand, Mu Xiaoxiao didn't forget to put her feet on the seat and shake happily.
"Oh, what to do?" The delicious meat juice actually ran down her arm, and it was about to drip onto the latest opening, Mu Xiaoxiao was reluctant to put down the chicken leg in her hand, and she was afraid of pain. Hurriedly stick out his tongue to add the dripping gravy.
