Volume 1 129 Concubines

Returning to Beijing from Banshan Nunnery, Chu Haoyu had a lot of lives, either with his uncle Sun Yiyang to visit the capital, or to visit some elders, such as Fang Jingfang Marshal, General Luo Shiyi Luo, and even went to the Chen family, as for several brothers, Chu Haoyu also visited them one by one, but he never re-entered the Zhiwang Mansion.

The days flew by day by day, and soon it was time to marry Guo Ying. Although it is not that the concubine cannot be married by the rules of a big wedding, after all, it is Chu Haoyu's first wife, and although the wedding is simple, the people who are present to congratulate are scary with distinguished status.

The sky was slightly bright, and the Queen Mother had rushed to the Xiaowang Mansion by Fengyuan, so Chu Haoyu was afraid that he would not be able to bear it and would personally supervise it. In this regard, although the emperor Chu Haoran was a little helpless, he took the queen and the prince to the palace of King Xiao to congratulate his brother after the early dynasty.

Seeing that the queen mother and the emperor have gone, all the courtiers naturally dare not lag behind and come to the door to send congratulatory gifts, but not everyone can get started. The queen mother didn't want to make a big deal, except for the Chu clan, only the three princes and nine kings of the imperial court, and the four great families could get started, and many ministers couldn't get into the door when they gave gifts, and finally they could only return. However, there are a lot of people from the rivers and lakes, and of course, the people who come are at least first-class in the dust-free road.

In the backyard of the palace, the Queen Mother, the Holy Lord Chu Haoran, the Queen Zhao Wenhui, the Martial King Chu Haoyan and Sun Yiyang sat around a round table, talking and laughing, all with a smile on their faces.

Today, the Queen Mother is dressed in a festive red, and her face is full of joy, so that her eyes are deeply squinted. Seeing that the queen mother was smiling so happily, Chu Haoyu also smiled and said: "The queen mother, today's little seven concubines, can be regarded as a real family. After the New Year, Erchen will arrange some errands for him, and he will be considered a business. After starting a family, Xiao Qi can really grow up, and the queen mother can worry less in the future. ”

The Queen Mother nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, looking at Xiao Qicheng's family, the old body is finally a matter of heart." As for Liye, he is already a prince, so let him mess around. Doesn't he want to play, wait for next year, the old body will no longer care about him, he can play as much as he wants, and he can go wherever he wants. ”

At this moment, Sun Yiyang chuckled lightly and said: "Xiao Qi is lazy, instead of letting him do what he doesn't want to, it's better to let him have fun with his temperament." ”

After thinking for a moment, Chu Haoran nodded and said, "It's okay, Xiao Qi has always wanted to go out to play, and I'll follow him next year," but," after a pause, Chu Haoran chuckled lightly before continuing: "Erchen is afraid that he will be like a wild horse that has lost its reins, and it will be difficult to come back as soon as he goes out." ”

Waving her hand disappreciatively, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "It's okay, as long as his mother is safe and sound all his life." Besides, if you manage him all day long, you can't say that he will blame the old man. After a pause at this, the Queen Mother looked at Chu Haoran again and said, "Ran'er, don't be too tired, seeing that you have been busy during this time, everyone has lost a lot of weight." ”

Chu Haoran smiled to himself and said, "I will conquer Mobei next year, so I am a little busy, and after waiting for a while, Erchen must have a good rest and recuperate." Hehe, Erchen really envy Xiao Qi, just eat, drink and have fun all day long, don't be tired of these mundane things! ”

The Queen Mother nodded, but she couldn't help laughing, and said to Chu Haoran: "You, like your father, are born with hard work, but your body is your own, so you must pay more attention." ”

Nodding, Chu Haoran opened his mouth and said, "Erchen has written it down, he will pay attention." Speaking of this, Chu Haoran looked at the Martial King Chu Haoyan and asked, "Second brother, what did Xiao Jing do during this time, so peaceful." ”

Chu Haoyan snorted lightly, opened his mouth and said, "Last time he and Xiao Qi had a really bad quarrel, I let him retreat, so that he and Xiao Qi would not mess around again." ”

Thinking of the farce between Chu Haoyu and Chu Yuanjing, the Queen Mother couldn't help laughing again, but nodded and said: "The two of them are both masters who are not afraid of heaven and earth, if they are together, I really don't know how to make trouble." It's troublesome during this time, otherwise I'm afraid that Xiao Qi will mess around again. ”

Sun Yiyang smiled to himself and said, "Sister, why are you so polite, Xiao Qi is just playful, in fact, it's also very fun!" ”

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Xiao Qi is simple, this is a good thing, but he should also grow up, and he can't be like a child all day long." The old body wants him to get married as soon as possible, just because he wants him to have a child as soon as possible, and when he is a father, he can more or less understand the hard work of his parents, and he will always be more stable. After a pause at this, the Queen Mother continued: "Therefore, the old body is ready to take a few side concubines for Xiao Qi, and it also saves him from messing around outside." ”

Hearing the Queen Mother's words, although several people were surprised, they had no opinion, after all, such a big palace should also have many hostesses. Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Queen Zhao Wenhui smiled and said: "Queen Mother, the concubine can help the queen mother in this matter, which family in Beijing has Yunying's daughter to be married, and the concubine is very clear." It's just that Xiao Qi will not be willing? ”

The Queen Mother snorted lightly and said, "How can everything be up to his temperament?" You worry a little more, as long as you meet the right one, tell the old body, you can't help him. ”

At this moment, Sun Yiyang looked at the Queen Mother and said, "Eldest sister, I think you are concerned and chaotic." Although Xiao Qi is naughty and playful, he is not an assertive person, but he is still young and does not agree with the world. Now that Xiao Qi understands the relationship between men and women, and he intends to be in the rivers and lakes, eldest sister, you will let him go out for some time, and when he comes back, there will definitely be big changes. ”

At this moment, Martial King Chu Haoyan also spoke: "Queen Mother, Xiao Qi is still young, it is not a bad thing to wander the rivers and lakes, besides, now is the era of peace and prosperity, as long as a few masters are arranged to accompany him, what else does the queen mother have to worry about." ”

After thinking for a while, the Queen Mother finally nodded, and at this moment, a eunuch shouted: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the auspicious time has come!" ”

Chu Haoran nodded and said, "Move to Haotian Palace." As he spoke, Chu Haoran stood up, and at the same time stretched out his hand to support the Queen Mother, and said, "Queen Mother, the son helps you over!" ”

Haotian Palace, the main hall of the filial piety palace. The reason why the name Haotian is taken from the Book of Poetry "Father gave birth to me!" Mother bow to me! Raise me and raise me; Take care of me, return to me, and go in and out of my belly. If you want to repay the virtue, Haotian is reckless! And this name was given by the Queen Mother herself for Chu Haoyu.

In the Haotian Palace, a group of princes and ministers, and famous people in the rivers and lakes were standing and chatting in twos and threes, when suddenly a shrill voice sounded, shouting: "The emperor has arrived, and the queen mother has arrived!" ”

Suddenly, everyone stopped talking and knelt on the ground, shouting in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, see the queen mother, thousand years old, thousand years old!" ”

After personally supporting his mother, he sat down on the Taishi's chair, and Chu Haoran sat down and shouted in a deep voice: "Flat!" ”

"Thank you!" In the midst of the shouting, the crowd bowed again before standing up. This time, everyone sat down at the round table set up in the lobby, and although there were no rules, everyone was able to find their seats well.

Although she is not a concubine, except for the honor guard, there is no difference between other uses and weddings. The red carpet and red curtain made the whole hall full of joy, that is, the two Taishi chairs and the Eight Immortals table in the middle were also wrapped with red curtains, and the Eight Immortals Table was dedicated to the tablets of the Heaven and Earth Monarchs, and the Chu Ancestor God Mantle was hung high behind the table.

"Lighting candles, burning incense, sounding firecrackers, playing music!" With the suppressed voice of the temple eunuch, there will be no mistake if there are eunuchs and palace maids who follow the steps. At this time, a colored sedan chair has stopped at the door of the main hall, and the two women's palaces are separated on both sides. With the sound of bright music, the two female palaces lifted the red curtain and helped Guo Ying, who was covered with a red hijab, to get off the sedan chair.

The temple eunuch shouted again: "The cigarette smoke is ethereal, the lamps and candles are brilliant, and the bride and groom are on the flower hall!" ”

Seeing Chu Haoyu, who was dressed in auspicious clothes, and Guo Ying, who was wearing a phoenix crown, walked into the hall hand in hand, the Queen Mother was already smiling, and Chu Haoran, who was sitting on the other side, couldn't help but smile.

When the female palace led the two to stand in front of the table of the eight immortals, the temple eunuch immediately shouted: "The auspicious time has come, and the bride and groom will worship heaven and earth!" Kneel, kowtow, kowtow, kowtow, kowtow, go! When the female palace helped the two to stand up, the temple eunuch then shouted: "Second worship the high hall!" Kneel, kowtow, kowtow, kowtow, kowtow, go! ”

Seeing the two of them get up, the temple eunuch shouted again: "Husband and wife worship each other!" Kneel, kowtow, kowtow, kowtow, kowtow, go! ”

is different from kneeling at the same time just now, this time the female palace helped Guo Ying to kneel first, and after seeing Chu Haoyu get up, he was helped up by the female palace. At this time, although Chu Haoyu had a smile on his face, but for this kind of ceremony, for himself who had been fiddled with for a day, there was a bitter smile in his heart, but at this moment, the temple eunuch finally shouted: "After the ceremony, send it to the cave room!" ”

Looking at the two of them leaving hand in hand with a smile, the Queen Mother had a smile on her face, got up and said: "Today, my son is married, you can come, the palace is grateful, I would like to toast!" Picking up the wine glass given by the palace maid, the Queen Mother held the wine glass with both hands and made a toast from left to right, and after drinking it in one gulp, she turned the wine glass upside down to signal that it was all drunk.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly stood up, picked up their wine glasses and shouted: "The ministers have thanked the Queen Mother!" He bowed and bowed, and everyone dared to drink the wine.

At this moment, Chu Haoran also picked up a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Today's Xiaoqi wedding, I, the eldest brother, thank you for Xiaoqi for this first glass of wine, please!" After finishing speaking, Chu Haoyu took the wine glass and drank it all.

Suddenly, some people didn't dare to thank them, but they all hurriedly drank the wine.

Picking up the second glass of wine, Chu Haoran looked at the Queen Mother and said with a smile: "Xiao Qicheng is a family, and finally the queen mother has a thought, this second cup of wine, I respect the queen mother, and I wish the queen mother a longer life than Nanshan, and the smile will always be open!" ”

At this moment, everyone picked up their wine glasses and looked at the Queen Mother and said: "I wish the Queen Mother a longer life than Nanshan and a smile!" ”

The Queen Mother laughed, opened her mouth and said, "You have a heart, this glass of wine, the old body drank it." After speaking, he picked up the wine glass handed by the palace maid and took a sip.

Looking at everyone with a smile, Chu Haoran opened his mouth and said: "This third cup of wine, I hope that the young seven hundred years will be reconciled and give birth to a noble son as soon as possible." Come, let's have a drink together! ”

After drinking the third glass of wine, Chu Haoran laughed and laughed loudly: "Today, we are all guests to congratulate Xiao Qi, there is no distinction between monarchs and ministers, you must have fun." ”

With Chu Haoran's words, the temple eunuch immediately shouted: "Play music!" The notes of joy are like the laughter in the mouths of the people, and the guests and hosts are happy and laughing for a while.
