Chapter 116: The Royal Palace's Wedding
After such a toss, it was noon when I left the palace gate, and I heard that Rong Yixuan and Hu Yuer had already gone to the Taiji Hall to be canonized, and then went to the Taishi Si Hakokan to pray for blessings, and then went to the Zongmiao to worship the heavens and ancestors, and now I have returned to the palace to prepare for the banquet at dusk.
Chang'an Street has resumed its former liveliness, the emperor has no children, Rong Yixuan, who is most likely to canonize the crown prince, is celebrating the whole world today, the common people gather at the gate of the palace to join in the fun, and the whole street of Chang'an Street is decorated with red and pasted with happy words.
Rong Yixuan sent people to give porridge and rice all over the capital, and ordered people to boil decoctions and herbal tea to dispel the heat.
Ruoyun had just been helped out of the sedan chair by Xiaohong, and she saw Rong Yixuan dressed in festive crimson, wearing a red and gold crown on his head, and an embroidered gold belt around his waist, standing on the steps heroic and luxurious, and was busy greeting the ministers with a smile on his face.
She stepped forward happily and bowed slightly: "I've seen Lord Rong." ”
Rong Yixuan was stunned at first when he saw her coming, and when he saw her wearing a Moran elegant shirt, with a dyed ink skirt, there were few hairpins on her head, her smile was elegant and her eyes were flat, and she couldn't help but lose her mind a little.
After a while, the smile returned to his face, and he hurriedly arched his hand: "Yixuan has seen the imperial sister-in-law. ”
Ruoyun heard such a title, and there was a sigh in her heart, she borrowed it in the palace a few years ago, and she remembered it vividly, even if it was Rong Yixuan, she didn't expect that the woman she picked up at the beginning was the imperial sister-in-law.
But her smile remained unchanged, her demeanor was still the same, and she said busily: "Lord Rong is polite, I will go in by myself, and the prince should not neglect the guests." As he spoke, he bowed his head at him, and took Xiaohong to rub him in.
Rong Yixuan was slightly melancholy. After looking at her back for a while, he came back to his senses and greeted the guests again.
A young man in a dark green brocade dress was followed to guide her, and her eyebrows and eyes were exactly what she said. smiled at her: "Niang Niang, please." ”
"The scholar has a hard time." She also felt kind when she saw Shuyan, and she was familiar with the way she had lived in the palace, and walked along the side road used by the female dependents.
The huge palace set up hundreds of tables of banquets for the ministers in the morning, the outer hall set up a happy hall, and the inner hall set up the emperor's throne and the side seats of the concubines, and the people were busy rushing in and out in red clothes.
After a while, he entered the inner courtyard and left the palace people outside the door. I just entered the inner door but didn't see the emperor and didn't see Concubine De, the book said that the emperor was busy approving the early morning folds and came back in a while, and Concubine De went to rest.
Ruoyun breathed a sigh of relief. The canonization ceremony is a sacrifice except for the imperial relatives and ministers, and the concubines are not allowed to go without invitation, and it is not too late for them to come to the palace to congratulate them.
When Steward Chen saw her, he was as happy as if he had seen his own young lady. At her, he was a long snort: "Su ...... Virtuous Concubine Niangniang Wanblessed"
Ruoyun saw that his body was as tough as ever. I also felt relieved, and hurriedly said: "Old Chen's words are serious, if the call is smooth, you should call me Miss Su." ”
Steward Chen waved his hand straight, and said with a frightened face: "No, Niangniang is now a precious woman, I must not use that title anymore, what is the need." Just tell me what I want. ”
If Yun knew that he couldn't resist him, he would reject him with a polite smile. It's just that the wedding is still early, and I will walk around the backyard by myself, and I won't walk around.
When Steward Chen hurriedly walked away, Xiaohong couldn't wait to meet the bride who was dressing, Ruoyun only smiled and said so curious, wouldn't it be nice to sneak to the Taiji Hall in the morning to see, the royal wedding is different from the commoners, canonization first and then the wedding, then Hu Yuer's appearance is not a secret.
Xiaohong stuck out her tongue and said, she was busy dressing up in the morning, and even if she wasn't, she didn't dare to sneak past the Taiji Palace, if she was caught, wouldn't it be troublesome for Niangniang.
But after all, she is also a little curious, that Lord Hu's mansion is far from here, Rong Yixuan has already sent someone to set aside a few courtyards for the female dependents to rest, and the emperor has been canonized, and the rest is the same. Now that the bride must be dressing up, since she is here, it is polite to take a look and say hello.
After inquiring about the new princess in the warm pavilion next to the main bed, Ruoyun took Xiaohong to take a shortcut, and saw the green trees in the backyard.
A farewell to the Rong Wangfu for almost a year, the last time the backyard flowers and ginkgo biloba are still vivid, and now she is revisiting her hometown as a virtuous concubine, it is inevitable to sigh.
I didn't go far, but I heard a sobbing but unflinching female voice coming: "Cousin! Help me figure it out! You see how many rewards they have received from them with so much pomp and circumstance, and how beautiful they are, but I only got a roster at the beginning, how will I live in the future! ”
Ruoyun took a look, the dark red skirt floated from the side of the house, and she looked like Ding Shufang, the side princess who had been sealed together, and the miserable appearance of Feng's crying was still vivid, but now Ding Shufang was wearing heavy makeup, smiling like a flower, and her eyebrows were full of charm, but the crying pear blossoms brought rain.
She sighed in her heart, this Ding Shufang really pretended to be crazy and stupid, so she deserved Rong Yixuan's sympathy, but unfortunately Rong Yixuan married her as the princess, it should be out of other considerations.
The woman who accompanied her and came was slightly taller than her, dressed in bamboo green and wearing gold and silver, with round and jade pearls, red lips and white teeth, it was Baolin Ding Yifang.
This made Ruoyun startled, she never expected that Lord Ding, who was stationed at the border gate, was actually a brother with Ding Jia, the richest man in the capital, not a brother, at least a cousin, and this Ding Shufang called her "cousin".
"That princess is just Hu Shu'er's sister, Old Man Hu made the emperor angry not long ago, how could he turn over so quickly?" Ding Yifang has always been straightforward, and it doesn't matter if it is the palace at the moment, she just said it with her mother's wealth.
"But cousin, you can still use money to make it convenient when you enter the palace, Wang Han and Wang Zhaorong have not yet been lucky, and you can get a holy grace with a Baolin relationship, which is already infinite scenery. But among the prince's subordinates, only Shuyan is close, people don't eat this set, and the old Chen who is in charge doesn't care about this, and the county lord doesn't have a good face for me. Originally, the prince was cold and hot to me, but now that I have a new princess, I am afraid that she doesn't want me as an old person. Ding Shufang said and cried again.
"Isn't the harem like this...... Ding Yifang sighed when she heard this, and said indeed, "Don't worry, this Rongwang Mansion also relies on my father's assets, if she dares to bully you, I will avenge you!" ”
Ding Shufang immediately burst into tears and laughed when she heard Ding Yifang's words, and the two approached as they spoke. Ding Shufang saw Ruoyun standing on the side of the road, and suddenly frowned: "Are you ......?"
Ruoyun was shocked, they had seen it when Rong Yixuan dragged her to see Ding Shufang that day. But at that time, Ding Yifang was still "crazy", if she pretended to be crazy, then ...... She was apprehensive in her heart, but said with a generous smile: "The dress of the side princess is really beautiful, everyone in the palace is touched, and the palace should be congratulated as well." ”
Ding Yifang listened to her claim and recognized her carefully. Immediately knelt down and said, "See Concubine Xian!" ”
Ding Shufang looked at Ruoyun suspiciously, and slowly knelt down, and suddenly her eyes lit up, as if she understood something, and looked at her again.
Ruoyun's heart sank. Knowing that she remembered, she suddenly felt a chill in her back, and hurriedly said: "No need to be polite, flat." The main palace is to copy the path to go in to see the bride. I laughed with the maidservant. Didn't disturb the two. As he spoke, he looked forward to the bride's appearance, and walked away.
When she turned the corner of the house and looked back, Ding Shufang had already walked away with Ding Yifang, whispering something, and looking in her direction from time to time.
"Miss, Xiaohong didn't hear anything." Xiaohong hurriedly tugged at her, signaling that the Ding sisters must be on guard.
"Even if I did. I don't have a problem with them, and it's better to take care of the affairs of this palace. Although Ruoyun was determined. But she is still weak-hearted, and not many people know about her when she goes to the border, if this Ding Shufang recognizes her, she may want to do something with her.
When she arrived at the warm pavilion, there were already palace guards guarding the door, and when she saw her, she was busy saluting and getting out of the way.
The room is newly furnished, the eyes are red, the boxes and jewelry with the wedding are piled up in the hall, the hall is already full of people, is laughing and laughing and talking, seeing that her clothes are just ordinary, when she is whose daughter comes to visit, she looks at it and turns back.
Hu Shu'er was wearing a jujube red dress, a gold-dotted Luo skirt, a hairpin ring jewelry, a gold-inlaid jade pendant hanging around her neck, and a smile on her melon seed face, but when she saw her, she immediately smiled, reluctantly took a hand, and said sourly: "Yo, who should I be, I won't go to the canonization, and now I'm here to put up a shelf?" ”
Now it is outside the palace, and it is her sister's wedding, and in the future, the two of them will become more intimate concubines, Hu Shuer will be arrogant, and she will not kneel with her head held high.
Ruoyun's face sank, and she stood still and said coldly: "I don't know if this palace, is the prince in charge, or Lord Hu in charge?" ”
"You ......" Ding Shufang was choked back, and her face was red with anger.
"Where did the wild girl come from to stir up the situation!" It seems that it is the old grandmother of Hu Mansion, seeing that a little girl is so unkind, she hurriedly got up from the chair, rolled up her sleeves and wanted to blow them out.
"What a wild girl, don't look at who it is......" Xiaohong didn't say anything, she was in a hurry now, and she pulled Ruoyun over without thinking about it, and blocked her head-on.
"Shu'er, who are you talking to?" A soft female voice came from inside.
Ruoyun was pushed by this, and walked a few steps to the dressing table, Hu Yuer was grooming, her eyebrows were light, her lips and jade muscles were red, and she had a melon seed face like Hu Shuer, but she was quiet and soft, and the red wedding dress on her body lined her with outstanding appearance and good temperament.
Ruoyun felt comforted, Rong Yixuan was accompanied by a beauty, which was also a blessing.
Hu Yuer saw that there was one more person in the mirror, her eyes were clear and her appearance was beautiful, and she was frowning and guessing that Xiao Hong and Mama were about to fight when they were talking about it, and the girl next to her rushed up to pull Xiao Hong away.
Hu Yu'er recognized her as the virtuous concubine in the Ronghua Palace that day, and was shocked, so she hurriedly got up to greet Hu Shu'er, and knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "Hu Yu'er doesn't know that the virtuous concubine is coming, please forgive the virtuous concubine!" ”
There was silence in the noisy happy room for a moment, and the grandmother was still holding Xiaohong's collar, and Xiaohong unceremoniously reached out and knocked her hand off, and then straightened her clothes and stood still.
Mama was stunned for a while, and knelt down with the girls, and she didn't dare to come out.
Ruoyun walked a few steps to her, but she didn't make a sound.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Hu Shu'er also knelt beside Hu Yu'er, full of grievances, and just raised her head and glared at her to say something, but was glared back by her sister.
Hu Yu'er trembled and said: "Yu'er is not strict in discipline, my sister is not disrespectful, and I hope that Concubine Xian will forgive her sins, and I will discipline her strictly...... Maybe it was the mother who didn't bring the palace people, so Shu'er admitted her mistake and collided with the mother, and hoped that the mother would forgive her sins. ”
Ruoyun smiled and said lukewarmly: "If Princess Lao is worried, why don't you bring palace people in this palace?" Sister Jieyu is so reckless, she collided with the palace and caused a big trouble for the prince, and I hope that the princess can be sensible. She thought it was a little funny, if she brought the palace people, I was afraid that she would not be able to see such a scene.
"Yes! Yu'er lost her words! Hu Yu'er saw that she couldn't be excused, and the virtuous concubine Niangniang was angry, so she was busy kowtowing, not like Hu Shu'er who was reluctant, but the knock was neat and neat, and she said busily, "Please also ask Niangniang Haihan, the concubine is willing to bear it, and she just collided with Niangniang, and everyone in this house is willing to be punished." ”
When the kneeling girls heard this, they suddenly looked up in horror, looked at each other and lowered their heads.
"The princess is serious, there is nothing to do, how can she be punished? When I came to this palace, I came to see the bride. Ruoyun laughed again and stretched out her hand to help her, "How can the bride kneel in the palace?" It's really tormenting this palace, hurry up. ”
Hu Yuer got up with a grateful face, and Ruoyun beckoned the girls who had combed her hair just now to dress up for her.
Hu Shu'er kept a straight face, and it was not good to talk nonsense, so she had to sit to the side in a daze.
"What's the noise?" A high-pitched and crisp female voice came, Rong Ying came in a gold and red shirt with purple sleeves, dressed up, and looked around the warm pavilion as soon as she entered the door. (To be continued......)
