Chapter 88: Knotting
Luoyuan has been considered a treasure of feng shui since ancient times, and the palace belonging to the Son of Heaven occupies the best location.
The palace is built on the mountain, isolating the hustle and bustle of the people, and the surrounding clear mountain springs are all led to this place.
Among them, there is a soup spring that is the most rare, the perennial warm flowing water continues, surrounded by flowers, the four seasons are not grateful, Rao is the autumn and winter solar terms, and butterflies are also entwined around.
The entire pool is covered by flowers and trees, avoiding people's sight, and there is no fear of being spied on by others. The palace people stationed in it add precious spices to the body all the year round, and after the tiring travel, they feel comfortable after soaking in it for only half an hour.
Yu Zhao immersed his whole body in this warm water, looked around, the surrounding mist curled, the fragrance of flowers mixed in it, the autumn night breeze was slightly cold, but it was unaffected, as warm as the spring and summer season.
When she got up, the maids of the palace immediately stepped forward to serve and dress, and the grandmother who guarded the soup spring praised her while wiping her body: "Niangniang's skin is like clotted fat, and the blow can be broken, and the slave maid has served many nobles from the palace in her life, but she feels that all of them are like fairies. ”
Seeing a clever little palace maid again, she rolled her eyes, and also echoed: "Only a person as beautiful as Niangniang can accompany the royal driver, and often bear the grace of rain." ”
was not the imperial concubine, Yu Zhao only felt that their sycophants slapped on the horse's legs, but he didn't care and kept silent.
A round of bright moon hangs between the pavilions and pavilions, and the moonlight is sprinkled on the way back to the palace, and the whole palace scenery is hazy.
Full of thoughts, this great scenery, Yu Zhao can't share the heart to appreciate it. And when he returned to the dormitory, he sent all the people who were waiting and sat down at the dresser. I was stunned for a while, and then I took off the hairpin and scattered the black hair, and was about to go to rest, when I heard a movement from the window.
From the bronze mirror, it could be seen that Chu Zikai came in through the window, and Yu Zhao sat still, waiting for him to approach, and handed her his hand.
Chu Zikai took it steadily, wrapped her body, buried his head in her neck, inhaled deeply, felt the refreshing fragrance on her body, and asked with a smile: "Zhaozhao, you actually have something to hide from me." ”
These words made Yu Zhao's heart weak, startled, his feet suddenly unstable, and he almost fell straight to the ground.
The body was surrounded by Chu Zikai, so naturally he would not really fall, but he was flustered in his heart, thinking that the matter had been revealed, and he was thinking about how to explain and redeem it, but Chu Zikai suddenly chuckled. "Why are you still so shy after all this time?"
Yu Zhao was slightly stunned, looking at him puzzled, Chu Zikai's eyebrows were full of affection. "You asked me to take you there tomorrow, because I knew that I would return to Renhu Lake Lingsheng tomorrow, so I had such an idea?"
For some reason, Yu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, I can't ignore the regret in my heart. In fact, there is a little hope in his heart, if Chu Zikai really finds out, maybe the road after this will be more difficult, but he will not leave his heart in the end.
Seeing that she was expressionless and didn't speak, Chu Zikai thought that he had debunked her thoughts, and he was making a fuss, and his heart was slightly sweet. whispered to Yu Zhao to wait, and then turned out the window.
When he came over again, he saw that Chu Zikai had an extra box in his hand, and he mysteriously walked over and opened it for Yu Zhao to see.
It turned out to be a set of folk style wedding clothes, although it was far inferior to the luxurious materials and exquisite embroidery in the palace, but Yu Zhao had to open his eyes when he saw it.
Yu Zhao knew why Chu Zikai said such a thing, and he had seen it in the writings of the West, there is no Tanabata Festival in the West, and the festival when lovers meet and seek marriage together is the birthday of the lake spirit who returns to the lake every autumn.
On this day, returning to the lakeside, many lifelong lovers arrived, accompanied by the lake breeze and swore an oath. This ceremony is like the three prostrations in the Central Plains, as long as the ceremony is completed, it means to become a husband and wife.
Many people of Da Chu are also infected by this custom, and every time they come to the Lake Spirit's Day, there are always newlywed and loving couples who come together, salute by the lake, bathe in the lake breeze, and then prove the alliance of white heads.
In fact, Yu Zhao was in a trance recently, and he didn't notice that tomorrow was the birthday of the lake spirit, but he just wanted to go and see Chu Zikai before leaving, and he didn't want to bump into him.
Knowing this coincidence, Chu Zikai thought that Yu Zhao did it on purpose, and he was overjoyed, so he hurriedly went to the tailor's shop to find a set of wedding clothes, and when he came back, he went to Yu Zhao's palace.
Taking out the clothes and shaking them off, Chu Zikai tried to put them on Yu Zhao, and said: "We will salute tomorrow, Rao is in a hurry, I can do my best to give it to you, I will give it to you all." ”
Over the years in the Chu Palace, Yu Zhao has worn the most gorgeous clothes in the world, no matter how many gold and silver threads are used on those clothes, and how many crystal gems are on the hem of the clothes, they are not as satisfactory as the clothes with ordinary color and materials on the body.
Da Hong was happy to dress up, Yu Zhao was moved, looking at Chu Zikai who was trying on clothes for himself in front of him, his eyes were slightly dark, and he asked in a low voice: "Your Highness is really willing to do this with me?" ”
"What are you talking about, I am more than willing." Buttoning up the placket of her clothes, Chu Zikai took the opportunity to wrap his arms around her waist and put his head against her forehead to look at her. "I want to marry you and grow old together. But the canonization ceremony of the crown princess has always been the same, more like a demonstration ceremony for courtiers and foreign ministers, and the same is true for you and me. Tomorrow's gift, only you and me, heaven and earth witness, after entrusting each other, we will be able to leave this life in the future. ”
The clothes are on, just right, Yu Zhao's weekday clothes have always been fresh and elegant, and he has never worn bright red clothes, but now he is called this happy dress, and his face is more beautiful. And in Chu Zikai's eyes, he added a little bit of Xi Shi's face, secretly amazed, happily hugged Yu Zhao around, and said happily: "My bride is the most beautiful in the world." ”
Although he knew that everything in front of him was a fleeting false bubble, Yu Zhao could truly feel the powerful heartbeat in Chu Zikai's chest beating with joy.
But after the great joy, there was great sorrow, and when he thought of it, his heart was like a knife, Yu Zhao couldn't help but cry like rain, and tried his best to pretend to be crying with joy, and spit out his heartfelt words: "I can be the bride of His Royal Highness in this life, and I am also the luckiest person in the world." ”
On a bright moon and breezy night, the two hugged each other in the dim light, scattered green silk and slept together.
obviously hugged each other so tightly, but Yu Zhao was separated in his dreams. When he got up in the morning and opened his eyes, Yu Zhao was greedy for the warmth in Chu Zikai's arms, and he didn't dare to move, only looking up at him slightly.
Finding that the hair of the two was intertwined, Yu Zhao reached out to straighten it out. This small movement immediately notices the person next to the pillow. The hand was suddenly held by Chu Zikai, and Yu Zhao listened to him tell him seriously: "From now on, it will be knotted." From green silk to white head, I can't ignore it for a lifetime. ”
married as husband and wife, love is not doubtful
This sentence involuntarily appeared in Yu Zhao's mind.
There is no doubt about the two...... These words also hit Yu Zhao's heart heavily, like a stone falling into flat water, stirring up ripples in his heart. Chu Zikai offered his heart without doubt, if they could all do this to each other, how good it would be.
It's a pity that Yu Zhao's heart is clear, and this beautiful oath can only survive for a short time. In just a few days, everything will be shattered, and everything will become a scam in Chu Zikai's eyes, and after separation, life and death will not be seen. However, at this moment, Yu Zhao was unwilling to face it, interlocked his fingers with him, poured all his sincerity, and did this fake show that people were reluctant to get out of.
