Chapter 15: Mid-Autumn Festival Marriage
In the palace of King Qin, Cheng Liang saw Xuanyuan Han returning to the mansion and hurriedly walked towards the Chenghua Palace.
"Your Royal Highness, Yi Shangkun has returned home from Dali Temple" Cheng Liang received the news from his secret guards and learned that Xuanyuan Han was waiting in the palace, so he sent Yi Shangyun to the palace to explain the eyeliner escort in the palace, and then went to Dali Temple to wait for the good news.
Xuanyuan Han still said in a cold tone: "This king knows, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, withdraw all the secret guards."
Cheng Liang asked urgently, "Your Highness, what happened?" Xuanyuan Han did not answer, as usual, cherishing words like gold.
After a long time, he asked, "Has there been any progress in the investigation of my mother-in-law?" ”
Cheng Liang shook his head, and said a little helplessly, "Now there are large and small wars on the border between the four countries of the Lingkong Continent from time to time, and the people my mother-in-law said, my subordinates have searched the roster of all the soldiers in Western Qin, and they have not found it at all, and it also contains the list of the dead. However, when his subordinates heard that there was a slave trade on the black market in some countries, they would not ......" Cheng Liang did not say any more.
"Let's let her mother-in-law and grandson live in the palace first, and then wait and see. In a few months, she will arrange for two people to keep watch in secret, and if her son is still alive, he will definitely go home," Xuanyuan said.
"Your Highness is wise, and your subordinates will arrange it. Your Royal Highness, there is one more thing ......" Cheng Liang stopped talking and glanced at Xuanyuan Han, and finally opened his mouth, "Today, Shennong Baicao Valley, his subordinates failed to enter the valley, and the valley lord ordered that only Miss Yi should be allowed to go alone."
Xuanyuan Han looked stunned, more afraid and worried, and quickly raised his head and reprimanded, "What is the matter?" ”
Cheng Liang saw that King Qin was angry, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness is angry, Miss Yi is unscathed, and she said that she didn't do anything in the valley, and the valley lord gave medicine without any request to her."
The valley lord of Baicao Valley has never traded at a loss, what is his purpose, Xuanyuan Han fell into deep thought as he listened.
The identity of this valley lord is very mysterious and weird, and he is also friendly with the ministers of the court and the central government from time to time, and the most important thing is that their people can't approach him at all, let alone spy on him, which really makes him a little distressed.
Xuanyuan Han waved his hand, and Cheng Liang gently covered the door and retreated.
Xuanyuan Han leaned on the couch with a solemn expression, the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming, and he still had no clue about it.
As soon as he touched it, he touched the familiar "cloud" silk handkerchief in his sleeve, and the cloud on his clothes should not have known that he was the injured person who had been rescued in the valley that night, and then took it out and looked at it in his hand, and he couldn't help but murmur: Wei Mingxuan......
In the blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival in the middle of the third autumn season is coming as scheduled, and the whole country in Xiqin celebrates together.
In the night sky, hang a round of white jade plate-like bright moon, whether it is ordinary people or the emperor's house, every household has set up a big incense case in the courtyard, full of various moon cakes, fruits, seasonal fresh, snacks and other sacrificial supplies to hold incense and worship the moon activities.
As soon as night fell, Yan'er ran up to the cloudy attic of the Bright Moon Pavilion like a bird with cheerful steps. Before the man arrived, the voice was already sounding.
"Miss, miss, let's go to the market. Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, the market must be very lively. Let's go, let's go, don't be bored in the attic all day, you're about to become Miss Mold."
Yan'er kept talking, but she didn't give Yi Shangyun a chance to answer, she just couldn't wait to pull her all the way out of the house.
Yi Shangyun was originally going to pack up the salute for reporting to the imperial pharmacy tomorrow, and he felt a little reluctant sadness in his heart. After all, Yifu is the most suitable place for her, and it is also the place that the original owner is most familiar with.
But when she arrived at the market, she was still fascinated by the beauty in front of her, and it was clear that it had only been a few days, but it was no longer the familiar street market she had seen before, and the shops seemed to have been dressed up as if they were small shops.
The fragrance of osmanthus flowers in the city is coming to the nostrils, and the aroma of osmanthus wine is spread all over the streets and alleys.
The Mid-Autumn Festival of the ancients is indeed more colorful than the 21st century, and it is "the moon rises on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time" The clouds on the clothes looked at it in amazement.
The candles in the lanterns of different shapes illuminate the market, turning the originally quiet night market into a veritable city that never sleeps.
I saw that there was a word "riddle" written on the lamp, and the poetry riddle book was reflected in the lamp and reflected in the candle, allowing the passers-by on the street to guess at will.
On the river, there are also small water lanterns floating in the direction of the current, like the stars in the night sky, which is very spectacular.
At this moment, a giant fire dragon bent into a skeleton with rattan and straw-like objects tied into a sinuous and undulating body suddenly came in front of him, and the dragon's body was filled with incense. It is also designed with dragon teeth, eyes, tongues, and dragon balls to match the vividness and lifelikeness, and a group of young men are wielding and sprinting through the streets and alleys, which is very beautiful.
The children on the street are licking rabbit cakes in one hand, and different lanterns in the other hand are comparing who is more special, as if they all think that their lamp is the most beautiful one.
Yishangyun was stunned, and looked at all this in front of him in a daze, but suddenly found that Yan'er had been separated at some point, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians on the street, and there was a sea of people. The clouds on their clothes stood on tiptoe and searched through the crowd.
Suddenly, someone patted her on the shoulder from behind, and she quickly turned around and shouted in surprise, "Sanshao, why are you?"
The person who came was the very charming peach-eyed beauty Yi Junhao, Yi Sanshao. He was wearing a red brocade robe, his black hair was half bunched, and his sideburns were still sprinkled with chic and casual green silk.
"Girl, I didn't have an appointment with my sweetheart during the Mid-Autumn Festival, why did you wander around the street alone" Yi Sanshao asked in a playful and somewhat tentative tone.
"Sanshao, don't make fun of me, everyone in the Western Qin Imperial City knows that I have been divorced, who dares to ask me, Sanshao won't know, right?" Yi Shangyun lowered his head and said.
"Yes, that's very good, then you can follow my brother and me, how about it?" Sanshao seemed so relaxed and casual when he said this, but it didn't feel like he was joking at all.
"Sanshao, you're making me happy again" Yi Shangyun was a little embarrassed, and after speaking, he lowered his head and twisted his clothes.
Yi Sanshao realized that what he said was a bit presumptuous, so he raised his eyebrows and said, "Just kidding, girl, you won't take it seriously, right?" ”。
Seeing that Yi Shangyun was no longer angry, he continued: "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, since I met, my brother helped you so much before, how about you accompany me for the Mid-Autumn Festival today."
Yi Shangyun is actually a little embarrassed in her heart, because she will enter the palace tomorrow, and she still has a lot to do tonight, but if it passes tonight, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to get out of the palace in the future.
She really should repay Yi Sanshao well, so she nodded and smiled and said, "Okay, okay, then you promise not to talk nonsense in the future."
Yi San rarely saw her nod and agree, and immediately showed a look of joy, went directly over and took her hand and walked towards the crowd in front of him.
Yi Shangyun's hand was suddenly held by him like this, and he immediately blushed and his heart beat, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free of his powerful big hand, and he felt that Yi Shangyun's resistance did not let go, but the more she resisted, the tighter he cried.
In the Western Qin Palace, the Xuanyuan royal family also reunited together, and just finished a majestic moon worship and blessing ceremony.
At this time, the masters of the palace are sitting on the banquet table full of flowers and all kinds of seasonal freshness, while tasting exquisite palace cakes while watching the play, and the stage is playing the enduring mythological drama of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chang'e Running to the Moon.
On one side of Emperor Jing sat the queen, and on the other side sat the queen mother. Xuanyuan Han, as the only noble King of Qin in Western Qin, also sat in the most important position of the clan, quietly and coldly sipping tea as usual.
Although he disliked sitting with these harem ladies the most, he had to do it on such a day.
Emperor Jing suddenly spoke, "Brother Huang, today's Mid-Autumn Festival, I promised you that I would give you a surprise today" Emperor Jing said while signaling to the father-in-law beside him to announce the decree, Xuanyuan Han saw the situation and hurriedly got up and knelt down to prepare to receive the decree.
At this time, a father-in-law stepped forward and opened the holy decree in his hand and said: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: King Qin has meritorious service in protecting the country, is brave and good at fighting, governs the country well and is too weak to be crowned." There is Mei Xiyuan, the princess of Yongle in Dongning, who is both talented, skillful and generous, and has outstanding appearance; For the friendship between the two countries, it is also for the beauty of beauties. It was specially given to the King of Qin as the princess, and the marriage was completed immediately on an auspicious day. Chin this! ”。
Although King Qin already knew it in his heart, he was still stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly bowed and thanked him.
Then, all the people present turned their eyes to King Qin to congratulate one by one.
"Imperial brother, it is rumored that this Princess Yongle of Dongning is a beauty who has captivated the country and the city, is the imperial brother still satisfied with this?" Emperor Jing had a wicked look of temptation.
"Brother Xie Huang cares," he said, but only he knew the warmth and coldness in his heart.
This marriage decree is probably the biggest joy in the palace of this Mid-Autumn Festival dinner.
It was late at night, and the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace had finally come to an end.
And there is one person who is extraordinarily satisfied tonight, and that person is ......
