Chapter 218: Wedding

Because the emperor was in too much of a hurry, the Ministry of Rites completed the bride price and the grand levy within a month.

On the day of the wedding, the entire capital was under martial law, and the road from the Jingping Marquis Mansion to the palace was full of Jin Wuwei and Yu Linwei.

On both sides of the road, flowers are decorated with flowers, the road is paved with red carpets, every ten steps is a barrier, and the copper incense burners on both sides are burning with elegant and fragrant Ruilin incense.

Xie Yanhe was wearing a bright red jade dress with a peony pattern of a hundred birds and a phoenix, and a crown of twelve dragons and nine phoenixes.

The gold crown is decorated with twelve dragons and phoenixes, the top of the front is decorated with a dragon, the middle layer is seven dragons, and the lower part is five phoenixes; one dragon in the upper part of the back, three dragons in the lower part; One phoenix on each side. Dragons rise with their heads held high, stand upright on all fours, walk, or gallop, in different postures.

The dragon and phoenix are all mouth jewelry charms, the lower part of the dragon and phoenix is decorated with beads, the whole crown has a total of 121 gemstones, 3,588 pearls. The phoenix eye is inlaid with a total of 18 small rubies.

The entire phoenix crown was drawn by Wei Zhao himself and handed over to the general supervisor to build, which took three full years, and it was ingenious and gorgeous.

Xie Yanhe was sitting in the middle of the phoenix at this moment, opened by Yu Linwei, escorted by Jin Wuwei, and rushed to the palace.

The pearl bead curtain contained in the brilliance covered Xie Yanhe's face, and she held the gold-inlaid jade five-color Ruyi in both hands, motionless, only to feel that a piece of her neck was about to be crushed by the heavy phoenix crown on her head.

When he arrived at Taijimen, Wei Zhao led hundreds of civil and military officials to greet him in person.

The man is dressed in a dark colored gown, the cuffs, neckline, and the edge of the placket are inlaid with dark red ruyi cloud patterns, and the gown is embroidered with twelve dragons and the sun, moon and stars, mountains, rivers, rivers and seas, and at this moment he is on a horse, and the crown of the twelve heavenly sons on his head is extremely dazzling under the sun.

Even though the crown prince has been weakened, the emperor does not see any trace of weakness, on a handsome and resolute face, sword eyebrows into the sideburns, dark eyes, the corners of the lips that have always been tightly pursed in the past are slightly provoked, and the majestic and fierce expression carries a faint joy.

In front of the Taihe Palace, Xie Yanhe stepped down on the phoenix chariot with the support of the palace people.

The civil and military officials bowed down and shouted: "Welcome to the queen, the queen is a thousand years old." The ministers congratulated His Majesty on his newlywed marriage and wished the Great Wei Kingdom Zuo Yongchang. ”

Wei Zhao smiled with a smile in his eyes, and after Xie Yanhe got out of the car, he personally held her hand and led her to Taihe Palace.

After the two of them finished kneeling and bowing three times and bowing nine times, Xie Yan and Jing Xiangxiang boarded the holy car with Wei Zhao, and were directly sent to the Qianyuan Palace, where the emperor lived daily, instead of the Weiyang Palace, where the queens of previous dynasties lived, and the Fengyi Palace where Wei Zhao was Xie Yan and Xinxing.

After arriving at the dormitory, Xie Yanhe sat in the wedding tent, and after the bride in the palace read a series of congratulatory messages, Xie Yanhe and Wei Zhao drank the wine, and finally could remove the phoenix crown that seemed to weigh a thousand catties on their heads.

When Qu Linglong carefully put away the phoenix crown that he had taken off, Xie Yanhe suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, and then he felt that the whole person had come to life.

"There's no need to serve here, all step down."

Wei Zhao looked at the beautiful woman on the dragon bed with green silk and skin better than snow, and his heart beat so fast that he couldn't suppress himself for a while.

The palace people in the main hall retreated.

Xie Yanhe moved his stiff snow neck and complained softly towards Wei Zhao: "Your Majesty, if you drive everyone out, who else will serve?" ”

Wei Zhao knew how squeamish the little girl in front of him was, so naturally he wouldn't expect Xie Yanhe to serve him.

Hearing her coquettish words, Wei Zhao's fingers paused, he put his robe on Mu Shi, walked to the bed in a few steps, and gently stroked Xie Yanhe's snow neck with one hand, kneading it skillfully.

"Hurt ......" Xie Yanhe hissed lightly, and asked with a little dissatisfaction: "Your Majesty help me call the mandarin ducks in." I was used to her service. ”

"On the first day of your wedding, you began to dislike me?" Wei Zhao raised his eyebrows, but part of the strength in his hand was removed, and this time Xie Yanhe finally didn't cry out for pain anymore.

I have to say that after Wei Zhao mastered the technique, the energy in his hands was much more comfortable than that of a mandarin duck.

Xie Yanhe narrowed his eyes pleasantly.

She was tossed by her sister-in-law when she first arrived in Yin today, and she was already sleepy at the moment, and Wei Zhao's rubbing was comfortable. Xie Yanhe's upper and lower eyelids fought, his head tilted, and he fell back......

The shiny and silky green silk slipped down in an instant, covering Wei Zhao's full hand, and his other hand hurriedly supported Xie Yanhe's little head, which didn't let her hit the bedpost.

Looking at Xie Yan and his sleepy coquettish state, the expression on Wei Zhao's face was both pity and amusement.

The little girl is wearing such a heavy phoenix crown and such a heavy wedding dress today, it is indeed hard, but on the wedding night, if she is allowed to sleep like this, then her husband is too miserable.

"Sleep, wake up." Wei Zhao whispered softly in Xie Yanhe's ear.

Xie Yan and a spirit of excitement came to their senses in an instant. She rubbed her eyes sleepily, a pair of misty peach blossom eyes with a thin layer of moisture.

Wei Zhao's heart was moved, and he couldn't help but peck Xie Yanhe's lip.

"I'll take you to freshen up." After Wei Zhao finished speaking, he reached out with his long arms, picked up Xie Yan and a hand, and took her to the specially dug bath behind the dormitory.

Before Xie Yanhe could react, he had already fallen into the pool with Wei Zhao.

The warm pool water soaked his clothes, Xie Yanhe screamed, but the man blocked his red lips......

In the middle of the moon, the figures in the gauze tent overlapped, and the air was filled with an aura similar to that of sandalwood musk.

The flowers and leaves break the stamens, the fragrant sweat is dark and wet, deep and shallow, and the willows move and the branches shake...... The green trees bring the wind and the green waves, and the safflower penetrates the heart in the rain. When the snow disappears, there is still white, and the red flowers fall even more redless.

It wasn't until the sky turned up that the fish belly was white, and the movement in the gauze tent stopped.

Xie Yan and a face were buried on the pillow, delicate red, green silk scattered, and the bare skin was like a red plum blooming in the snow......

At this moment, her eyebrows were furrowed, her eyes were slightly closed, and under her long, thick eyelashes, there were two shallow green shadows lying under her eyes.

Even when you fall asleep, it's not very stable.

Wei Zhao also knew that his intemperance had exhausted the little girl, so he used a warm towel to carefully wipe Xie Yanhe's body clean.

Looking at the jade back that deceived the frost and snow, the fire in Wei Zhao's heart became more and more vigorous, but he forcibly endured it.

Wei Zhao knew that if he tossed people again, he was afraid that the little girl would not even be able to get off the bed tomorrow.

Xie Yanhe woke up, and a low moan overflowed from his lips and teeth,

Wei Zhao hadn't slept all night, and when he heard the movement on his side, he immediately opened his eyes.

Looking at Xie Yan and a pretty face with begonias and slightly red and swollen lips, a pair of ink eyes suddenly overflowed with tenderness.

"Are you awake?" The man's deep voice exuded a sense of hoarseness, and his handsome face was full of contentment, which looked very charming.

Xie Yanhe thought that the more she begged for mercy last night, the more excessive the man became, and in the end, her eyes were swollen from crying, but the man still didn't let him go.

Xie Yanhe was angry, grabbed the man's palm, and bit him viciously at the tiger's mouth.

Wei Zhao's eyebrows didn't wrinkle, but said with a smile: "Aren't your teeth sore?" ”

Xie Yanhe narrowed a pair of peach blossom eyes.

Wei Zhao looked so neat that the roots of her teeth itched.

But in the face of men's cheekiness, she was helpless.

The mandarin duck heard the movement in the dormitory, but no one got up, so he couldn't help but cautiously reminded the dormitory: "Queen Mother, the hour is not early." ”

On the bed, the bright yellow gauze tent covered the light outside, so that Xie Yanhe didn't know the current time.

Hearing the mandarin duck's reminder that she wanted to stop talking, she turned over and sat up, but because she got up too quickly, she accidentally touched the unspeakable place on her body, and suddenly "hissed" in pain.

"Be careful." Wei Zhao hurriedly hugged the person, his deep voice was so soft that it seemed to be able to drip water, and he said softly: "Good baby, wait here, I'll go find clothes for you." ”

When Wei Zhao spoke, warm breathing sprayed on Xie Yanhe's cheeks, especially the greasy call of the dead, the lingering and sympathetic "good baby", Xie Yanhe's face turned red uncontrollably.

The two of them grinded their ears and temples for a while, and by the time Xie Yan and the makeup were finished, they were already on the rise.

After breakfast, Feng Hui looked at the fact that he would no longer dislike the emperor when he entered the palace at this time, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the queen mother, His Royal Highness the crown prince and the two princesses are already waiting outside the palace. ”

"Xuan!" Wei Zhao said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with me?" Xie Yanhe raised his hand to support the phoenix hairpin in his hair, tilted his head slightly, and looked at Wei Zhao with a smile on his face.

"It's beautiful." Wei Zhao stole incense on Xie Yanhe's cheeks.

Xie Yanhe pursed his lips and smiled, slanting a glance at Wei Zhao. A pair of peach blossom eyes are as tender as water, and Wei Zhao's bones are crispy.

Feeling sorry for Xie Yan and the first menstrual personnel, Wei Zhao personally carried her to the top and sat down.

As soon as the two of them sat down, they saw the crown prince and the princess, Princess Fuqing and the prince of Chuguo and Princess Yichang walking into the hall together.

"Sons and daughters see their fathers and emperors, and they see their mothers."

No matter what the few people standing in the hall thought, but in front of Wei Zhao, no one dared to be disrespectful to Xie Yanhe.

"Flat." Wei Zhao said lightly.

Feng Hui clapped his hands, and the chamberlain rushed in with a tray and put it in front of the crown prince, the crown princess, Princess Fuqing and others.

Even if Wei Jin was dissatisfied in his heart, in front of his father, who was becoming increasingly disappointed in him, he didn't dare to make a mistake at all, he picked up the tea cup on the tray and presented it to his father with both hands: "Father, please drink tea." ”

Wei Zhao took it and put it directly on the table.

Wei Jin lowered his eyes when he saw this, he didn't expect that his father would not even be in a perfunctory mood for him now.

The tea you toast, even if your father touches his lips.

Wei Jin silently picked up another cup of tea and handed it to Xie Yanhe, his calm voice couldn't hear any ups and downs: "Queen Mother, please drink tea"

Xie Yanhe's peach blossom eyes curved slightly, and she said softly: "Mandarin duck, bring up the red seal given to the prince by the palace." ”

"The slave obeys." The mandarin duck smiled on his goose egg face, and brought the tray with red seal to the prince.

Wei Jinqiang endured the embarrassment in his heart and accepted it, and he wanted to thank him in his mouth: "The son thanked the queen mother for the reward." ”

Although Xie Yanhe's face was silent, his heart was very comfortable. This sense of prestige and righteousness makes her wake up with a smile even in her dreams.

When she came to Chen Rong, she didn't have the prince's qi cultivation skills, and when she gave Wei Zhao tea, her expression was quite natural. When he arrived at Xie Yanhe, the expression on his face was very reluctant.

"Mother, daughter-in-law will serve you tea." Chen Rong's delicate voice was as thin as a mosquito.

Xie Yan and the slender fingers like spring bamboo shoots picked up a candied fruit on the plate and put it into his lips, as if he hadn't heard Chen Rong's words at all.

Chen Rong's face instantly became very ugly.

But the emperor is here, although Chen Rong hated her heart with blood, she still had a smile on her face, and said in a slightly raised voice: "Queen Mother, daughter-in-law will serve you tea." ”

Xie Yanhe didn't embarrass Chen Rong again this time, she took the tea cup handed over by Chen Rong. If the prince is there, Xie Yanhe also picked up the cup and dipped his lips, but this time he didn't look at it, he put it directly on the table, and called the mandarin duck in his mouth: "Bring the red seal prepared by the palace for the princess." ”

When I arrived at Princess Fuqing, it was completely different from Fang Cai's atmosphere of relaxation and cheerfulness.

It was Wei Zhao, who also smiled and took the tea cup handed over by Princess Fuqing and Chu Yan at the same time, and drank half of it.

When I arrived here with Xie Yanhe, I heard Princess Fuqing and Chu Yan call them "Queen Mother", and they smiled like flowers.

Even the rewards prepared were a foot-tall blood coral bonsai carefully selected by Xie Yanhe, and an auspicious cloud head Ruyi with gold inlaid with mutton fat jade.

"Thank you for the reward. Erchen has favored the good things of the queen mother. "The former cousin has become the current mother-in-law, and Princess Fuqing called her mother, but she didn't have half a reluctant look.

Even Wei Zhao was extremely satisfied with the attitude of his eldest daughter.

"Feng Hui, go to the treasury and give the red treasure and Nanzhu from the Ryukyus tribute to Princess Fuqing two boxes, and let her take them with her when she leaves."

"The son thanked his father." Princess Fuqing was overjoyed.

It's not that Princess Fuqing is shallow-eyed, but when the prince served tea, his father didn't even drink tea, but when he came here, it was a very rich reward.

The servants in the palace are all high and low, and I am afraid that the days in the East Palace will become more and more difficult in the future.

As long as the East Palace is not doing well, Princess Fuqing will be happy.

The last to serve tea was Princess Yichang, who was much more silent than before.

Xie Yanhe didn't have much friendship with Princess Yichang originally. What's more, Princess Duanmin, the sister of Princess Yichang, was malicious towards Xie Yanhe, and almost caused Xie Yanhe to suffer an accident.

Xie Yanhe is not a saint, although she knows that Princess Yichang is in a difficult situation in the palace, but she has no intention of helping, she silently took the tea cup handed over by Princess Yichang and took a sip. As for the reward given to Princess Yichang, it is also the same as the crown prince and his wife.

The minions in the palace have always been the best at looking at the direction of the wind, and through the actions of the queen mother, they can naturally recognize who to please and who to alienate in the future.

"The tea is also finished, let's all stand down." Wei Zhao took pity on Xie Yanhe's weakness and directly ordered the expulsion.

"The retainers retired." Headed by the crown prince, after everyone saluted, they got up and took leave.

Xie Yanhe sat upright for a while, and his sour body couldn't stand it for a long time.

Before the prince and the others walked out of the main hall, she got up from her seat, but her knees were sore when she got up, and if she hadn't been quickly supported by Wei Zhao's eyes, she almost fell.

"Be careful."

Wei Zhao's ink eyes were full of smiles. A man can prove himself on the bed, even if Mount Tai is on the top and can still not change his face, Wei Zhao, at this moment, he can't help but reveal a little proud

The prince and the others have not yet stepped out of the palace gate, and the movement in the hall naturally cannot escape everyone's ears.

After leaving the main hall, Princess Fuqing stopped and said with a smile: "The palace is still waiting here for the chamberlain to send her father's reward, the imperial brother and sister-in-law, I will not send it far away." ”

Wei Jin didn't speak. His face was gloomy, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know where his mind had flown to.

Chen Rong has never been good-tempered, she was stabbed by Princess Fuqing, how could she bear it, she sneered: "The former cousin has become her own mother-in-law, the imperial sister, you can not only treat it as usual, but also behave so warmly, in order to please your father, you don't even care about your face." ”

Princess Fuqing raised a pair of willow eyebrows, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and she said with a smile: "The resentment in the imperial sister-in-law's words is so heavy, is it because she is dissatisfied with her father and mother?" ”

Chen Rong had a claw in her throat, of course she didn't dare to admit it, she sneered: "This palace is talking about things. Isn't the queen mother your former cousin? ”

Princess Fuqing sighed, and in the face of Chen Rong's ridicule, not only did her face look as usual, but she also fought back slowly: "The imperial sister-in-law's face full of jealousy is really ugly. However, there is nothing to be embarrassed about in this palace. If the royal brother did not regret the marriage, then there would not be one more queen mother in the palace today. ”

After Princess Fuqing finished speaking, a brilliant smile bloomed on her gorgeous face, and she seemed to be indescribably happy.

This time, not only Chen Rong was angry with Princess Fuqing, but even Wei Jin's eyes were eager to erupt with fire.

Princess Yichang had no intention of getting involved in the battle between the prince and Princess Fuqing, she bowed to everyone silently, and said in a very low voice: "Brother Huang, sister Huang, you talk slowly, I will take the first step." After saying that, he turned around and left without hesitation.

The sun stretched the thin, delicate figure of Princess Yichang into a long one. The pity in Princess Fuqing's eyes flashed away.

She withdrew her gaze, and her eyes became more and more unpleasant to the two people in front of her.

Princess Fuqing hooked her lips and smiled, and said slowly: "I heard that a female official in the East Palace is pregnant, and the imperial sister-in-law is not here to entangle with me, so let's first sort out the affairs of the East Palace." ”

After Princess Fuqing finished speaking, she didn't care how the crown prince and the princess felt, and smiled at her concubine: "Cousin, the summer cicadas here are very disturbing, let's go to the imperial garden for a walk." ”

How could there be the sound of cicadas outside the palace where His Majesty lives, could it be that all the palace people who were waiting inside and outside the Qianyuan Hall didn't want to live?

The wife is just pointing at Sang and scolding Huai. Chu Yan was extremely helpless. He couldn't be as domineering as his wife, so he had to clasp his fists at the crown prince and the crown princess: "Weichen retires." ”

After Princess Fuqing and the prince of Chu left, the tears that Chen Rong had been holding back instantly rolled down from her eyes.

She knew that the prince had summoned a female official named Qin Xueshu to serve in the study, but what Chen Rong didn't expect was that Qin Xueshu's slut even had a child.

Chen Rong's heart was sour and bitter, since she was rescued by a guard on the Yudai River, the prince seemed to treat her as well as she had at the beginning.

No, maybe earlier.

As early as the time when the Wu family and the Chu family were accepted as side concubines.

Even though the Chu family is dead, it is an indisputable fact that the prince has stayed with the Chu family.

Now that a pregnant Qin Xueshu has appeared, Chen Rong can't even deceive herself if she wants to.

"Rong'er, listen to me." Even though Chen Rong has done many wrong things, her weight in the prince's heart is incomparable to no one.

The secret that he had been hiding for many days was suddenly revealed by Princess Fuqing, and Wei Jin had no time to think about where Princess Fuqing knew the news at the moment, and which slave in the East Palace leaked it.

Wei Jin's eyes are now full of heartbroken wives, and his anxious hands are a little cold.

"Your Highness, you don't have to explain it to your concubines. You are the prince of Great Wei, so naturally you can't just guard your concubines. Whoever His Highness wants to accept is His Highness's freedom. Concubines have no right to interfere. ”

After Chen Rong finished speaking, she didn't look at Wei Jin, and walked quickly in the direction of the East Palace.

Wei Jin hurriedly chased after him, no matter how many eyes he was secretly watching, he stretched out his long arms, pulled Chen Rong into his arms, and said patiently: "Rong'er, don't believe Fuqing's provocation, you listen to my explanation." ”

"Explain?" Chen Rong muttered, a pair of misty apricot eyes looked at Wei Jin with tears, her two red lips curled up mockingly, and she said as if crying: "Okay, then I'll listen to His Highness's explanation." In His Royal Highness's study, isn't there a female official named Qin Xueshu? ”

"Rong'er, things are not what you think, I have a hard time." Chen Rong's teary eyes suddenly made Wei Jin's heart ache.

"Bitter?" Chen Rong silently repeated these two words, and she chuckled: "Okay, even if I understand His Highness's distress." Please also ask Your Highness to tell me that Qin Xueshu is ...... Are you pregnant? ”

In the last sentence, Chen Rong said extremely difficult, which shows how much she cares about Qin Xueshu's stomach.

She has lost her parents and relatives, lost her husband and love, if she loses even the status of the crown princess, Chen Rong thought, she will definitely go crazy!

"Rong'er, I ......" Wei Jin swallowed his saliva secretly, his Adam's apple rolled, and he couldn't say a word of lie in the face of Chen Rong's eyes with implied expectation.

Even if Wei Jin knew that hiding from Chen Rong was the best choice.

"Your Highness, I understand." Chen Rong pulled Wei Jin's arm away little by little, she smiled sadly, her voice was soft, as if it would disperse as soon as the wind blew.

"If Your Highness feels indebted to me, let me calm down for a while. I ......"

Chen Rong paused, knowing that she shouldn't be willful, but she just couldn't do it.

She said slowly, "I don't want to see Your Highness. ”

After Chen Rong said this, she instantly felt that all the strength in her body had been drained. She was supported by the palace people and walked away from Wei Jin's sight until she gradually disappeared.

"The crown princess." The palace maid looked at Chen Rong's weeping face and called cautiously.

"It's okay in this palace." Chen Rong's teeth were tightly sunk into the flap of her lips, and her delicate red lips left a few deep blood marks.
