Chapter 5
: The big wedding turmoil
After Chenxi entered the palace, the holy favor continued, and he slept again and again, and was dissatisfied by the concubines.
Chenxi's elder brother Niu Hulu Mingfan repelled the enemy army in the northwest war, and took the enemy's lair, and made great contributions, and the emperor Longyan Dayue named him the general of Zhengsanpin Zhongqin.
The emperor invited Chenxi's brother Mingfan to come to the Qianqing Palace for lunch, and the emperor also specially allowed Chenxi to accompany him, and Li Dequan went to the Chengqian Palace to invite Chenxi to the Qianqing Palace to have dinner together.
Chenxi's elder brother Ming Fan said: "The minister has one thing to ask the emperor to play." The emperor smiled and said to him, "As long as I can do it, I will definitely grant your request." Ming Fan said: "The minister thanked the emperor first." The minister is 27 years old, although he has made great achievements in war, he has not married, and his parents have been urging the minister to get married as soon as possible. The minister asked the emperor to find a good wife for the minister. The emperor said to Chenxi: "I should play accurately, he is my love, you are my beloved concubine, and I will think about choosing a wife for your brother now." What do you think of Princess Chenyang? Pretty good with your brother, right? ”
Chenxi knelt down and said, "Please also ask the emperor to take back what he just said." According to the concubines, the eldest princess Chenyang is the emperor's sister of the same father and mother, and the emperor married the eldest princess to his brother, which is too much for the concubine's family. How dare Niu Hulu accept such a great favor from the emperor, and ask the emperor to retract what he just said. The emperor helped Chenxi up and said: "I am a gentleman, and a gentleman is difficult to chase after a horse." Just because Chenyang is my own sister, I can rest assured that she is steady, careful and considerate. I will go to discuss the date with the Queen Mother in the afternoon, and I will announce it to the world tomorrow when I go to court. ”
Chenxi and Mingfan leaned over and said, "Thank you, Emperor Longen!" "A hearty lunch was passed quickly in laughter.
In the afternoon, the emperor went to Cining Palace to discuss the matter with the queen mother, the queen mother was very happy, and hurriedly summoned the eldest princess Chenyang into the palace to meet her, Chenyang said that he was very satisfied with the decision of the emperor and the queen mother. The Queen Mother said to the emperor: "Do you know the meaning of Chenyang, Emperor? Yi Ai's family sees that the sixth day of the next month is a good day, let Niu Hulu Mansion prepare. On the day of the wedding, the emperor was also authorized to take Chenxi, the queen and the concubine, and the queen mother also attended the wedding.
Concubine Xian expressed her dissatisfaction when she found out, because when she was Zhaoyi, she had mentioned to the emperor that she would let Princess Chenyang be a side room for her brother, but the emperor said at that time: Chenyang is still young, so he can stay for another two years, and it is not too late to talk about marriage. I am such a sister, I seem to let her stay by my side for two more years, your brother's side room is not in a hurry, he is the seventh rank general. ”
But now that the eldest princess of Chenyang has reached the age of marriage leave, she has pointed out Niu Hulu Mingfan as his wife. Concubine Xian had a feeling that sooner or later the glory of the Wulanala clan would be ruined by Chenxi. She thought: The queen mother will also attend this wedding, so naturally she can't make a big fuss, just let them spoil the fun. After all, the Queen Mother is also a member of the Niu Hulu clan, and it will not be good to track it down when the time comes, they did not disappoint the fun but harmed themselves.
She has always been favored by the emperor since she entered the palace, but this is also because of her mother's military exploits, but her unpopular cousin has aroused the dissatisfaction of the first emperor, the current emperor, the queen mother and the concubine.
The emperor announced this happy event to the world when he was in the last dynasty.
At this moment, Niu Hulu Mansion is also being nervously arranged, the Queen Mother has already sent her congratulatory gifts to Niu Hulu Mansion, and Chenxi's Eniang also asked someone to send two good East Pearls to the Queen Mother to thank her.
The sixth day of the first lunar month is coming soon, this day is a good day with sunshine and sunshine, early in the morning, the emperor, the queen mother, the queen, the concubine and Chenxi came to attend the wedding in the Niu Hulu mansion. Concubine Xian had already designed a good show, she bought Yue'er next to Princess Chenyang, and asked Yue'er to steal the dress that the eldest princess of Chenyang was wearing on the wedding day and burn it, she wanted to see what the emperor planned to do without the dress? How did Niu Hulu face those guests?
But she miscalculated!?
The eldest princess of Chenyang painted her makeup and waited to change her dress and get on the sedan chair, but the dress could not be found, and the people were busy looking for the dress but there was nowhere to go, only Yue'er was the calmest. But she also forgot that the buttons on this dress were gold and inlaid with precious stones, and gold buttons could not be burned by gems.
When the emperor learned about this, Long Yan was furious, and ordered that after the wedding, the matter should be thoroughly investigated, and he must see who is making trouble behind the scenes and dares to make trouble at his sister's wedding.
Concubine Xian knew that the emperor wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly, so she hurriedly sent someone to contact her brother, and after Ulanala Matai found out, she still had nothing to do about the emperor's actions, and reprimanded Concubine Xian for messing around.
Before Chenxi entered the palace, Chenxi's mother made a wedding dress for Chenxi, and the whole dress was made of Shu brocade, embroidered with the appearance of the peacock when it opened the screen, and the buttons were silver and inlaid with gems. When the Queen Mother saw this dress and said that it was in the past, she sent someone to send it to the eldest princess of Chenyang.
Concubine Xian came out of the inner hall and said: "This dress is too different from the clothes of the eldest princess of Chenyang, I remember that the clothes of the eldest princess of Chenyang are embroidered with a phoenix, how did she become a peacock here." The concubine remembered that the queen's mother's house was not far from here, and the queen's mother had a nine-tailed phoenix phoenix robe to replace it. It's just yellow, not red. ”
The Queen Mother snorted angrily and said to Concubine Xian: "The mourning family has seen that dress, it is bright yellow, and the pictures and texts embroidered on it are available to the queen. This dress is already very good, hurry up and send it, if it's too late, the mourning family wants you to look good! The emperor said to the queen mother: "Don't be angry, isn't this already sent someone?"
Chenyang hurriedly changed her clothes, Yue'er knew that this matter must have alarmed the emperor, and her life was about to be saved, so she didn't care about Xian Guifei, as long as the emperor asked, she would confess Xian Guifei.
The sedan chair stopped in front of Niu Hulu's house, Jiaxin helped the eldest princess of Chenyang to get off the sedan chair, and the whole audience was stunned by the pace of the eldest princess of Chenyang.
After a busy day, the wedding ended quickly, and they rushed back to the Forbidden City in the evening, the emperor actually knew that it was the concubine Xian, but the Wulanala clan is a big family, and it is not easy to get rid of them, and they also need to think in the long run, and slowly find a handle to get rid of them.
The emperor and the queen have not come forward to investigate the matter thoroughly, the queen mother sent someone to secretly investigate, Chen Yue is the queen mother's henchman, and he came to the conclusion after the secret investigation: It was indeed the concubine Xian who did it, and it was Concubine Xian who bought the maid Yue'er next to the eldest princess of Chenyang, and asked Yue'er to steal the clothes and burn them, but the gold button is still there.
The Queen Mother also arranged her own person in the court, named Yan Yuchen, who was a distant relative of the Queen Mother, and arranged in the court to provide the Queen Mother with information on the court, which is commonly known as "intelligence spy".
The queen mother let her maid Qin Xin get a few buttons on her clothes, and those ashes, and went to the Qianqing Palace to discuss the matter with the emperor. The emperor sent Yue'er to the palace to meet her, and Yue'er knew that the emperor would definitely inquire about this matter this time, and she was also prepared. She secretly swore that she would never let go of those who hurt her.
When the emperor came up, he asked her, "Why did you burn the dress of the eldest princess of Chenyang?" Yue'er said: "Your Majesty...... The slave and maid are forced, please let the emperor know! The emperor said angrily: "Who are you forced by?" Tell me! Yue'er cried and said, "Yes...... Be...... Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian ...... Let me put my clothes ...... Steal it out and burn it. The emperor has atoned for his sins! The slave didn't dare anymore. ”
The emperor said to Li Dequan: "Immediately drag this slut out and beat him to death, hurry up!" Li Dequan asked someone to drag Yue'er out and beat her to death.
The emperor muttered in his mouth, "Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian!" In fact, he knew that this matter was indeed done by Concubine Xian, but Concubine Xian's brother had just made a war exploit, and he couldn't get rid of her at this time.
The emperor violated his conscience and promoted Concubine Xian to Concubine Xian, and the emperor felt sorry for Chenxi, so he also promoted Chenxi to a concubine.
