At night, the flowers and candles in the cave room are melting, warm and quiet. The whole palace is full of red light, and the atmosphere of joy is rendered everywhere.

In front of the door of the cave room, there is a big palace lamp with the word double happiness, the gilt gold big red door has the word double happiness with sticky gold and powder, the top of the door is a cursive word for the big life, and a long couplet on the wall next to the door falls straight to the ground. From the main gate of Fengchen Palace into the entrance of the East Warm Pavilion, and in the corridor on the east side of the cave room, a big red inlaid gold wood shadow wall is erected, which is to take the emperor and queen together and open the door to see the meaning of joy.
The gold and jade treasures in the cave room are magnificent. The East Warm Pavilion is open to two rooms, and there is a handle of jade Ruyi that symbolizes auspiciousness on the right hand. The front eaves are connected to a big kang, the two sides of the kang are red sandalwood carved dragons and phoenixes, there are porcelain bottles, treasures and other furnishings on the kang table, and a pair of double happiness table lamps are displayed on the left side of the kang front.

There is a festive couplet hanging on the wall of the bed, in the center is a picture of a dragon and phoenix, and a pair of treasure wishful cabinets are placed against the wall. In front of the bed, a hundred child tents are hung, a hundred child quilts are spread, and the bed curtain with red satin embroidered dragon and phoenix double happiness is hung at the head of the bed.
After the female officials carefully served the queen mother in the bath, they repainted her eyebrows and makeup, combed her hair, and dressed up, in order to avoid a whole day of makeup, which would be mottled and flawed in front of the emperor. Therefore, the early morning costume has been restored more exquisitely.
After the makeup was completed, the female officials helped Ye Zhiqiu put on the dragon and phoenix wedding dress again, put on the phoenix crown, covered the red hijab, and waited for the auspicious time of midnight when the emperor arrived.
The hijab on Ye Zhiqiu's head made her vision only red, and after a day of hard work, the phoenix crown on her head made her scalp numb, and she felt that the moment of waiting was very difficult.
"Excuse me, Mama, how long is the ion night?" As soon as she entered Fengchen Palace today, she has been serving the female official next to her, and directing the rest of the female officials and palace maids to go in and out of the whole process.
"Queen Xie's mother is loved, the slave's name is Cuizhu, and she is the palace maid in charge of Fengchen Palace, if the queen does not dislike it, it will be the slave and maid who will take care of all the chores of Fengchen Palace for you in the future."
"You are very good, steady and careful, I am very satisfied."
"Queen Xie, you are the master of the harem, except in front of the queen mother and the emperor, you can call yourself 'the palace' to show your dignity and majesty."
"Hongu has written it down." Before the wedding, the palace taught her that after the wedding, she was the rightful lord of the harem, and she should call herself "Bengong", but she was still not used to it, and changed the "I" who had called herself for 18 years.
"Aunt Cuizhu, midnight is approaching, and the emperor has come out of the Taihe Palace and is coming."
"Got it, and started to prepare. Pick up the candles in the pepper room, and after the emperor and the queen drink the wine, they will quickly extinguish the candles in the hall. Do you understand? ”
"Yes, Aunt Cuizhu."
"Queen Mother, Your Majesty is almost here, and the slave will check the makeup for you again."
"There is labor."
She was a little sleepy, but at the moment she was full of energy, and the anxiety and anxiety in her heart reached its peak. She once looked forward to her big wedding day, but she never thought that Feng Guanxia would marry her own brother.
After half a pillar of incense, the main entrance of Fengchen Palace sounded the sound of communication, and the bustling crowd came to the door of the Dongnuan Pavilion, cheering happily with blessings, and sent Zhao Sizhuo, who was also dressed in dragon and phoenix clothes, into the cave room, they were not allowed to step into the pepper room, standing neatly outside the cave room, singing and singing the "Congratulations Song", wishing the emperor a hundred years of good harmony, praying for the early birth of the emperor's heir, and blessing the peace of the Southern Zhou Dynasty.
Zhao Sizhuo drank a lot of wine today, and the ministers didn't dare to persuade him to drink, he wanted to drink it himself, and the more he wanted to get drunk, the more sober he became. As everyone knows, today, the imperial doctors did not dare to let the emperor get drunk, delayed the cave room, trembled by the emperor's side with tasks, and the wine they drank was mixed with antidote medicine.
Zhao Sizhuo's fair face was slightly drunk, the angular Leng Jun was blurred and faded under the reflection of the candle flame, and his dark and deep eyes were dyed with some mist, glowing with a charming color; The thick eyebrows, the tall nose, the beautiful lip shape, the cold and arrogant but the grandeur is compelling, and the independence exudes a strong force that dominates the world.
He looked at the figure dressed in red, sitting on the wedding bed, with sweetness and satisfaction in his heart, and at the same time, he thought of the promise she made him make that night, and his heart was filled with anger and irritability. Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, simply took the scepter handed by the female official, picked up the dragon and phoenix hijab, and fell to the ground.
But when he saw her, he was stunned on the spot, and everything else in his eyes was nothing but her face.
Under the reflection of the festive pepper room, Ye Zhiqiu wore a purple gold Zhai phoenix bead crown, and wore a red gold and silver silk Luan Bird Chaofeng embroidered wedding dress, with a calm and graceful bearing. The delicate makeup is matched with rouge, bright eyes and bright teeth, red lips and white teeth, which makes her even more apparent, with ice muscles and jade bones, willow eyebrows and green dais, and apricot eyes shining silver stars. is like a clever swallow. The breeze gently swayed the jade sleeves, and the Hunan skirt swayed obliquely to show the golden lotus. The eyebrows are like green feathers, and the muscles are like mutton fat. The face is lined with peach petals, and the mustache is piled with golden phoenix silk. The oblique red silk is colorful, and the high hairpin pearl is brilliant.
He is not the only one who looks at the idiot. In Ye Zhiqiu's eyes, she has never seen it, and she can't imagine that there is a man in the world, dressed in a wedding dress, who will be more beautiful than a woman. But there is no feminine delicacy at all, and it is more heroic and handsome.
In a sound of blessings, Cuizhu presented two glasses of wine, the emperor and the queen drank a glass of wine, and after that, the female official helped the queen to sit on the dragon and phoenix bed, took off the phoenix for the queen, and put on the dragon and phoenix robe. The two sat on the bed of the dragon and phoenix.
Eat "children and grandchildren dumplings" and "drink a glass of wine at the banquet" to complete the ceremony.
"I respectfully invite the emperor and the queen to step into the red curtain and spend a good night together."
Everyone retreated, the palace that was still lively and noisy just now, suddenly the people scattered and the hall was empty, and in the winter warm pavilion house, there were only the two of them left at this moment, and the room was so quiet that they could even hear their own heartbeats and the crackling sound of the burning candles.
The two were silent, and just like that, it seemed like a long time, and it seemed like only a moment.
She felt him lean down, his breath warm enough to spurt into her face, like a knot of snowflakes falling on the ice.
Then there are two thin lips, cool with heat, with stubbornness and so pressed down.
She was a little panicked, closed her eyes tightly, and didn't dare to open them at all, feeling the coolness on her mouth
