Chapter 55: Beloved

Ye Geqi did not refuse, and immediately responded: "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey the order, on behalf of Xifan, to offer blessings to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Chu Zikai looked at it coldly, he had been depressed recently, and after eavesdropping on the conversation between Yu Zhao and Emperor Yuan in the study of the Son of Heaven Hall that day, and knowing that Ye Geqi had thoughts about Yu Zhao, he became more and more sad, Emperor Yuan beat in every possible way, threatening Yu Zhao's life, and was shocked by the previous cup of poisonous wine, and was very jealous. During this period, he had to be at the mercy of Emperor Yuan. She was helpless but couldn't solve the misunderstanding with Yu Zhao, only to feel that her eyes were getting colder and colder, and the distance was getting farther and farther. It seems that as soon as Emperor Yuan opens his mouth to agree, he will leave mercilessly.

In addition, he was agitated by Ye Geqi, a man who had a life-and-death relationship with Yu Zhao, and couldn't help but panic, and finally couldn't help it, and went from the East Palace to the Chaohui Palace at night, wanting to see her, but seeing that the front hall leading to the side hall was tightly guarded. When I climbed on the roof, I saw Yu Zhao and Zhuo Yao together, lighting up all night, busy with the affairs of Concubine Chu Zikai tomorrow. It was almost dawn, Zhuo Yao didn't leave, and had to grit his teeth and return.

In the end, it is the prince, even if it is only a concubine, it is a big deal, everyone knows, among these women, which one of them will hit the big luck in the future, it may be the queen's mother, and no matter how bad it is, it will be the princess of Chengen in the future. Therefore, even if it is not as grand as the Baichen ceremony, the etiquette process that should be there is still too lively. The East Palace was boiling, and Emperor Yuan ordered to respect the smile first, and the sedan chair was the first to enter the house. Then Liu Wanrou, the two people of the Zhang Mansion and the Ling Mansion entered together, and Emperor Yuan took Yu Zhao to the East Palace to watch the ceremony in person, smiling heartily.

The moment he saw Yu Zhao, Chu Zikai was so angry that his eyes were black and he almost fainted. Everyone didn't know, and they were still ridiculing: "Your Highness has four beauties, so you can't stand up for joy, how can you live at night......"

There was a lot of laughter, the sound of firecrackers did not stop, and the festive atmosphere was wonderful. The affection was hidden by Yu Zhao, but where is it still, like a needle buried in the heart, piercing the whole heart with blood, and the pain is suffocating. Fortunately, Yu Zhu also came, came over to talk to herself, and attracted some attention.

After the ceremony, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Ying Huayi drinking alone in the banquet, his face didn't seem to be very good, Yu Zhao looked at him a little strangely, and his eyes glanced in the direction where the four women in red wedding dresses left from time to time. Yu Zhao secretly guessed, isn't the person he likes among them? Is it Miss Zhang or Miss Ling, just wondering, Emperor Yuan over there seemed to be a little drunk, Zhuo Yao came over and reminded Yu Zhao to persuade him.

walked over according to her words, only to see Emperor Yuan's face flushed from drinking, and he was still holding the wine jug and didn't let go. Yu Zhao instructed Feng An to help him go to the rear attic to rest for a while, and then turned his head and asked Zhuo Yao to prepare the carriage back to the palace. He followed him to the attic, but as soon as Emperor Yuan went up and lay down, he burst into tears, shouting: "Qingwan, Qingwan ......" Yu Zhao was strange, Feng An hurriedly explained: "It's Concubine Niangniang." ”

Only then did he understand, ignore it, and after drinking the sobering soup for Emperor Yuan, he shouted that he was tired and said that he would rest for a while and then go back to the palace. Yu Zhao waited in the outer room under the order, feeling that the room was too depressing, so he couldn't help but go out and stand on the balcony to blow the wind, the cold wind blew on his face, it was so cold that it hurt, but it made people sober. When his eyes droop and his thoughts are empty, his heart hurts less so much.

It's breathable, and it's got rid of the hustle and bustle, but it's much better. Yu Zhao turned around and wanted to go back, but his head shook and fell on the palace road downstairs. Subconsciously looked down first, and there was a person standing. It turned out to be Ye Geqi, he picked up and shook his head, and looked up: "Concubine Chen is good." ”

Yu Zhao said: "The prince doesn't have to be polite, it's my rudeness."

Jeegie shook his hand. "This thing is really heavy, you still have a lot of on your head, aren't you tired?"

It was really tired, Yu Zhao replied helplessly: "Da Chu etiquette, in its place, it needs to be accompanied by its makeup." ”

Shaking the things in his hand, Yaegqi said, "Niangniang still hasn't answered my question." Aren't you tired? ”

Yu Zhao nodded, and the gold and silver lintels at one end made a crisp sound.

Ye Geqi was a little puzzled: "I really don't understand why the Da Chu woman has to wear these cumbersome things and suppress them, but she loses her smart beauty."

Yu Zhao thought about it, it is true, to say that this gold and silver are worn on the head, and the flowers and plants are worn on the head, they are all good-looking. But people would rather endure the tiredness than put heavy ornaments on their heads. Then I heard him say, "When I first met you, you tied up the green silk, and it was beautiful." Why bother to burden yourself with these things. ”

The customs of the West and the Great Chu are very different, Yu Zhao can understand his incomprehension, and patiently explains: "The etiquette of the Great Chu is like this, you must show people with a woman's appearance, even if you are tired, if you don't abide by it, it is rude."

"I don't agree more." Ye Geqi looked up at her, Yu Zhao's cold face was softened by the moonlight. I couldn't help but soften his tone. "In the West, even if it is a fancy costume, it is sleeved, and it looks good when you wear it. We will never distinguish between high and low by dress, how they are at ease. Forgive me for being straightforward, Da Chu's etiquette is like restraining women. ”

Is that the case? No one dared to say this, Yu Zhao thought about it and told him: "But the woman of Da Chu has been thinking about how to wear the most expensive headdress and the most extensive sleeves in this life."

Is this a willingness to ask for restraint, but Yu Zhao is sure that after he gets rid of it, he will never want to.

Ye Geqi was even more puzzled: "It's really strange, just take the matter of the crown prince marrying a concubine today, how can a woman know that she wants to share a husband with other people, and she is willing to marry her."

I married four at once, which is indeed a bit much. But as far as the eye can see, which prince and nobleman is not like this? Yu Zhao lowered his eyelids, and his tone was light: "It is common for ordinary people who are slightly richer and richer in Dachu to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention His Royal Highness the Prince."

"But I heard that a Da Chu woman can only have one husband in her life, no matter what."

Yu Zhao nodded: "That's true."

Ye Geqi sneered, shook his head and sighed: "That's why I said, these etiquettes are not very fair."

Seeing that he seemed to feel unusual, Yu Zhao was curious and couldn't help asking. "Isn't that the woman of Zephan so?"

"Of course not." Jegeqi replied decisively and told her seriously: "In Zephani, a man can also have a concubine, but he cannot marry at the same time, which is an insult to the woman. And if the woman is let down, or if her husband dies, she can marry someone else, and there will be no worries. Therefore, most men will choose to start from the beginning for the sake of the woman they love. Even if you marry the king, if you don't get affection, as long as you want to leave, you can agree. ”

It's so good, Yu Zhao said with emotion in his heart. The women of the West Fan must be held by their lovers like the blazing sun. She will never worry about that person bearing her, she yearns for it, and she can't help but think about it. Then I heard Ye Geqi say: "You are a woman with a strong backbone, if you come to Xifan, you will not be as depressed as you are now."

Not daring to bear his praise, Yu Zhao said modestly: "The prince praises falsely, I am the concubine of Da Chu, and I am afraid that I will not be blessed to go to the West in this life." ”

Ye Geqi looked up at her and continued: "It's not a false praise, it's not a secret, my father and queen mother once talked about you, and I was overheard. When I met you in the desert that day, I was even more sure that you were not an ordinary concubine. ”

It turned out that he knew that Yu Zhao didn't care, anyway, the king and queen of the Western Fan Kingdom had already known, and there was no rumor. After a while, when the task is completed, there is no need to hide it, just say: "Not to mention."

Ye Geqi shook his head: "Why, although it is a little abrupt, I still want to say." A heroic woman like Niangniang deserves the care of a good man for life. It is difficult to find this lover in Dachu, but if he is in Xifan, he will be able to get his wish. It is said that the wind of the lake only blows to the west, and now it makes sense, only the dedicated person can be blessed by the lake spirit, and the amorous person is not worthy. ”
