Chapter 421: Harmony

June 13 was the day of Mu Hongshang and Lu, but until this day, Mu Chengfang, who was supposed to return to Beijing earlier to recuperate, had not yet set off from the north. There are few people in the family, but Mu Hongsheng's ceremony is not deserted at all, but it is so lively that it is exaggerated.

Well, that's right, exaggerated, and very unruly.

Duchess An Guo prepared a ceremony for her daughter, and the guest list had been prepared, but she didn't expect that on the first day of June, Queen Wei suddenly sent someone to deliver a decree, saying that it was June 13, and a ceremony was held for Mu Hongshang in the palace.

After receiving the queen's will, the Anguo Mansion was a little confused, and the queen held a ceremony for the daughter of her subordinates in the palace, which was not in accordance with the rules, not to mention that there had been no such thing since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even the previous dynasty had never heard such a precedent.

Mrs. Mu thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to take the Duchess of An Guo to ask for a trip to the palace, one to thank her, and the other to reject the kindness of the queen. Mu Hongshang is not the only concubine of the Mu family, and the girls of the previous generations of the Anguo Mansion are not all organized by themselves at home? How did she get to Mu Hongsheng, Queen Wei suddenly had to make such a show.

However, this time, Empress Wei's attitude was very insistent, she insisted on holding a ceremony for Mu Hongshang in Yuyang Palace, but Mrs. Mu and Duchess Anguo couldn't refuse, so they had to receive the order. On June 12, Empress Wei took Mu Hongshang into the palace one day ahead of schedule and arranged her in the side hall of Yuyang Palace.

After entering the palace, Mu Hongshang found the clothes and ornaments that the queen had prepared for her in advance in the side hall of Yuyang Palace, and the gorgeous four phoenix crowns were covered by translucent light gauze, quietly placed on the incense case, and a cyan dress was placed next to it, with an extremely complex style.

Mu Hongsheng looked at the dress carefully, and immediately frowned, she turned around and asked the palace maid in charge of Yuyang Palace, who accompanied her, "Auntie, did you take this dress by mistake?" Is this a frustration? According to our Great Zhou ritual system, the princess can wear Zhai clothes, add four phoenix crowns and rituals. According to the etiquette system, courtiers should only wear ordinary deep clothes and dresses, and add five treasures and hairpin crowns. ”

"It's right that the girl from someone else's house is like this," the palace maid replied with a smile, "But how can you compare with the ordinary nobles in Beijing, this is the grace of the queen's mother." ”

Mu Hongshang smiled at the palace maid in charge, and thanked her by the way. She knew very well that no matter what the queen's purpose was, she would not be able to shirk this dress and phoenix crown. As the only courtier wearing a princess dress and a flute since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, does she still have a lot of face?

It's a pity that Mu Hongshang doesn't want this face at all, she just wants to be at home well, wearing the deep dress prepared for her by her mother, and using an ordinary phoenix crown to perform and salute.

But no. In the Yuyang Palace, Queen Wei replaced her mother, stood on the master's seat, and did everything for her; Princess Ningfu personally held the tray for her, and the strange clan girl replaced her good friend Xie Shurou and stood in the position of the praiser. Her grandmother, mother, and true friends sat as guests at the ceremony.

This is her courtesy, but she has to dress up according to the queen's wishes, and then she is like a prop, being led to salute, crown, and toast.

It's really boring!

Mu Hongshang's ceremony, King Qirong also brought Hu Lu Yinghuan and Hu Lu Changrong to watch the ceremony. King Qirong seemed to be very curious about what the Great Zhou girl's curry looked like, and he looked very serious from beginning to end, and he was in a good mood.

And Hu Lu Yinghuan and Hu Lu Changrong sisters and brothers are obviously not as happy as King Qirong. Hu Lu Yinghuan was clearly well-dressed, wearing a dress with lively embroidered shoulders and a slanted skirt with gold and silver tassels, and bright trousers and riding boots exposed under the skirt.

This is the most popular dress of the nobles of the steppe. Since Hu Lu Yinghuan was given marriage to Zheng Chongjing, she has never dressed herself like before, learning to dress up like a lady of the Great Zhou. The dresses she bought to please Zheng Ying were all cut by her and thrown out of the window.

She wore her thick braids again, and wore a gold and silver hair ornament adorned with pompoms, as if she had been on the prairie long ago.

She was dressed beautifully, her expression was as proud as ever, and she didn't seem to have changed much from before, but it was still different.

In the past, Hu Lu Yinghuan was like a wolf poison flower on the grassland, although it was not beautiful enough, but it exuded vigorous vitality from top to bottom. However, now that she has the certainty and confidence in her eyes, and the almost savage vitality on her body seems to have disappeared all at once, just like a carefully arranged and modified wolf poison flower specimen, which looks a lot better, but has no soul.

And on this day, Hu Lu Changrong didn't seem to be quite right, he was extremely silent, and he didn't even have any communication with King Qi Rong and Hu Lu Yinghuan, so he sat quietly on the chair, looking at Mu Hongsheng in full costume in the hall, and didn't know what he was thinking.

For Mu Hongsheng, this courtesy is really bad, but she can only accept it like this. Because a person has only one fifteen-year-old birthday in his life, and when it passes, he will never do it again.

A long, long time later, when Mu Hongshang recalled her courtesy, she couldn't help but think that this unhappy fifteenth birthday really seemed to be a bad omen, indicating that she and the Mu family would face everything next.

On an auspicious day at the end of June, Hu Lu Yinghuan and Zheng Chongjing got married, and the emperor gave them a beautiful mansion. On the first day that Princess Hulu became the princess of the county, she injured her husband.

The days that followed were also not peaceful, and it is said that the relationship between the newlyweds was so bad that they could not stay in the same room, and rumors spread that the husband and wife beat each other every once in a while.

However, everyone regarded the small gossip about the fight between the husband and wife of the king of Rongkang County as a popular anecdote in Beijing, which circulated in the streets and alleys of Beijing. Except for Xie Shurou of the Modern Crossing Party, no one noticed what tragic truth was hidden behind this little gossip.

Zheng Chongjing, who was unwilling, and Hu Lu Yinghuan, who was unwilling to accept his fate, were so forcibly tied together that the two people hurt each other angrily. Because they can't control their own fate, they can only vent their grievances on each other.

However, except for Hu Lu Yinghuan's own brother Hu Lu Changrong, no one cares about their relationship as husband and wife. The emperor doesn't care, and neither does King Qirong.

Five days after Hu Lu Yinghuan's marriage, the Rong Di delegation set off to leave the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Hu Lu Yinghuan and Hu Lu Changrong became protons who were left alone in a foreign land from this day.
