The sky was only slightly white, but the Zhaoyun Palace was already in chaos.

"Hurry up and bring that box of rouge from Furong Zhai!"

"Find out the snail lacquer box of that Jade Pavilion too!"

"And that jade hook girdle!"

"No, it's not that, it's the one on your left!"

Zhaoyun sat in front of the dressing mirror in a moon-white plain skirt, and through the bronze mirror in front of him, he watched Mingcui command in an orderly manner.

And Biluo behind him, after gently wiping the black and beautiful hair for Zhaoyun with homemade rose fragrance, picked up a sandalwood comb and combed it carefully. Only a silver ribbon embroidered with auspicious clouds was used, and the three thousand hairs were loosely held.

"Mingcui, who is today's praiser and Zhengbin?" Zhao Yun asked without looking back.

"Zhengbin is the eldest princess of Pingyang, and the one who praises ...... It is said to be Princess Changru. ”。

When Zhaoyun heard this, he thought that it was really exactly the same as his previous life. But the beautiful hibiscus in the bronze mirror showed a trace of disappointment and sadness.

After some fighting, Zhaoyun took Ming Cui and the others to the west room of the Dikun Hall to wait.

There is an incense case in front of the courtyard of the Dikun Palace. The crown seat is located outside the east room, sitting east to west; Set up a banquet on the west steps, sit west to east; The seats are located in the south of the crown seat and to the west.

When Mu Xici, who was dressed in moon-white brocade, came to watch the ceremony, most of the seats were already seated. After being led by the attendants to the seat on the east side of the west staircase, from time to time the ministers who were watching the ceremony came to greet him.

But whenever the minister mentioned the matter of harmony, he would smile slightly like a spring breeze and pay tribute one by one.

"I heard that Princess Zhaoyun is the emperor's favorite princess."

"But no, the first emperor thought of the late Concubine Yun, and loved Princess Zhaoyun like a treasure."

"I am fortunate to have seen Fangrong, and the sound and smile are still in front of me, lingering!"

A few young courtiers sitting not far away whispered. As everyone knows, their conversation has completely fallen into Mu Xici's ears, and thinking of the woman they talked about, those bright eyes inadvertently brought a little smile.

He Xun, who was sitting on the side, was shocked when he saw it. Thinking that he has been with Childe for so many years, he has never seen him smile so sincerely. On weekdays, he is a humble son who is as gentle as jade, and he is tolerant of everyone and everything, and always smiles lightly. But he knew it was just a gesture of extreme detachment.

The seats for the ladies are set on the south side.

An Zhi wore a water-red gold-trimmed placket collared gown, a pleated skirt of the same color Hangzhou silk, and a thin veil of smoke, and came with a few palace maids.

She thought that today was Zhaoyun's banquet, how could she be compared, and she also took a closer look. When many of the young men present saw it, their eyes showed surprise.

After calmly accepting the salute of everyone at the table, she looked at Mu Xici, who was sitting in the men's seat far away, with an expectant expression.

But Mu Xici was talking to Yunqi's new champion, and he didn't notice her at all.

An indescribable anger instantly hit her heart. An Zhi gritted her silver teeth, calmly faced, and sat in her seat. Later, when someone came to salute her, she ignored it.

didn't even notice that Murong Ruo beside her showed a complicated smile after touching the bulging sachet covered by her wide sleeves.

It didn't take long for Luo Ye to come with the Empress Dowager Changde, and everyone stopped talking and stood solemnly. After the two of them sat on the throne of the Dikun Hall on a high place, they saluted one after another.

After Luo Ye signaled to level down, everyone returned to their respective seats.

The official said: "The princess salutes." The melodious sound of the song was loud, and the praiser came out of the east room.

Zhaoyun was sitting upright in the room, bowing his head and playing with the tassels on his waist, when he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps accompanied by the sound of silk and bamboo coming from outside.

Looking up along the hem of the goose-yellow clothes, what caught my eye was the face of Prajna with three points of heroism. The corners of Zhaoyun's mouth curled, and after the good-looking phoenix eyes were bent into a good-looking arc, she caught a glimpse of several ceremonial officials behind her.

In full view of everyone, Prajna secretly winked at her.

"I thought you weren't coming!" Zhaoyun went to the east room with everyone, and took the opportunity to whisper to Prajna halfway.

"Why didn't I come to your feast?" Pranya whispered with a smile and winked at her again.

Looking at her narrow appearance, Zhaoyun scolded in his heart, you didn't come in your previous life! is anxious about her life's events, how can she take care of her? Seeing her like this now, some worries about her in my heart also disappeared.

When a few people entered the east room, they saw a noble lady dressed in purple palace clothes and wearing a golden hairpin sitting on the soft floor, holding a cup of tea and smiling at them.

On closer inspection, on her round face, there are thin and flat eyebrows, a full nose, and slightly thick lips. The wind bun shows the sideburns, and the beads are surrounded by greenery, which looks luxurious and graceful, but it is dignified and elegant.

Zhaoyun recognized at a glance that this was his father's eldest sister, Princess Pingyang. Hurriedly bowed and said in a clear voice: "Zhaoyun has seen the eldest princess!" ”

"Look at you, child, just call me aunt, how can you see the outside like this!" Pingyang got up from the collapse, picked her up with a smile, looked her up and down carefully, and said, "I think I hugged you when you were still an infancy." I haven't seen you for many years, but I've grown so big, and I've become so slender! ”

Zhaoyun got up and called out with a smile, "Auntie." ”

This princess of Pingyang can be described as a blessed person.

At that time, Yunqi encouraged business, and she took advantage of the situation to marry the son of the imperial merchant. And the horse was also given the idle title of a peaceful marquis, and the imperial merchant family offered her like a bodhisattva. Husbands and wives respect each other like guests, and children are happy.

Princess Pingyang looked at Zhaoyun, took off a string of gold chuan from her hand, put it on her wrist, and said with a smile, "You kid, the more I look at it, the more I like it." ”

"Eldest princess, the time has come, it's time to comb the princess's bun." The female officer on the side reminded in a whisper.

"Look at my memory, when I saw Zhaoyun, I was so happy that I almost forgot about business!" Pingyang smiled and patted his forehead before pulling Zhaoyun to the side and sitting down in front of the makeup dowry, removing the silver strap and tying her in a bun.

Later, the ceremonial official led out of the east room, accompanied by the sound of silk and bamboo, walked to the front of the incense case of the Dikun Palace, and stood on the west steps.

Mu Xici, who was sitting on the east seat of the west steps, saw her wearing a light and elegant moon-white skirt, coming from afar. The high bun on the top of her head adds a bit of immaturity and cuteness to her. Pick up a wine cup and put the wine into your mouth with the corners of your mouth curled.

Zhaoyun turned around and bowed to Luo Ye and Chang De.

The eldest princess of Pingyang, who was the guest, walked up to Zhaoyun and chanted the words loudly.

"On the auspicious day of the month, the first Canadian dollar is served. Abandon your young ambitions, and become virtuous. Shou test Mianhong, in order to introduce Jingfu. ”

Congratulations, the music is great. Prajna, who was the praiser, stepped forward and took the crown from the tray held by the deacon on the side, and crowned Zhaoyun. The sound of silk and bamboo gradually stopped.

Zhaoyun saluted everyone again, and the money was returned to the east room. With the help of Ming Cui and Biluo, he changed into the curved deep coat embroidered with colorful butterflies and wide sleeves of the silver silk embroidered with colorful butterflies, and sat down in front of the makeup again.

The eldest princess of Pingyang broke up the bun that was tied high above her head, skillfully tied a flying fairy bun for her, and then put on the hairpin that wore butterflies and trembling whiskers.

Under the guidance of the deacons, they returned to the Dikun Hall again and sat down on the li. Pranya stood aside holding a lacquer plate with a sake vessel in it. The ceremonial officer held the silver kettle and filled the wine vessels one by one.

The music stopped again, and the eldest princess of Pingyang stood to the north and said: "The auspicious moon is the birthday, and it is a Shener service." Decorated with majesty, Lady Velde. Eyebrows live for 10,000 years, and enjoy happiness forever. ”

Congratulations, happy work. Zhaoyun picked up a glass of wine full of wine from the lacquer plate held by Prajna, held his eyelashes, and drank it all.

Zhaoyun secretly sighed in her heart, although she had already experienced a great gift in her previous life, but in this life, she would be in a different state of mind.

Mu Xici, who was sitting in the distance, held the wine cup, watched Zhaoyun drink all the wine in the wine vessel, and also sent the wine cup to his lips.

The deacon took the lacquer plate with the wine vessel in his hand, and motioned to the attendants holding the porcelain plate to come forward and serve the food. Seasonal fruits, wines and appetizing dishes are all available.

Zhaoyun, who was sitting on the liquor seat, only ate a little melon and fruit, then put down the silver chopsticks and looked at the dancers dancing with the sound of silk and bamboo on the table. The song is graceful, the clothes are fluttering, but it is pleasing to the eye.

And Panruo, who sat on the side and made eye contact with Zhaoyun from time to time, had a very good appetite and ate more melons, fruits, vegetables and dishes.

After a stick of incense, the food and food were removed by the waiters one by one, and the dancers also left.

Under the guidance of the deacon, Zhaoyun and Pranya returned to the east room and changed into the large-sleeved gowns with crimson gold trim on the wooden rafts. When she slowly came out of the room, everyone was stunned when they saw her.

Zhaoyun's clothes have always been plain and elegant, and he has never worn such bright colors. Everyone only felt that her skin was better than snow in a red dress, and the belt that pinched her waist made her thin waist even more inadequate. Even the beautiful face was lined with this crimson and became a little more bright and charming.

"This change of clothes, it really changed immediately!" Pingyang stepped forward and took her hand and looked at her carefully.

"This crimson dress, you look better with Zhaoyun!" Pranya, who was sitting on the side, also looked amazed when he saw it. If it weren't for the presence of the eldest princess, she would have wanted to crouch and howl.

Pingyang pulled her to sit down in front of the makeup dowry, gently loosened her hair, and tied her hair in a bun. Later, from the lacquer plate held by the ceremonial officer on the side, the tassel head inlaid with rubies and tourmalines was gently put on for her.

Holding her hand, Pingyang smiled with satisfaction, and then summoned the ceremonial officer, signaling that the ceremony had been added. The ceremonial officer, dressed in a dark red official robe and a gauze hat, slowly stepped back.

It wasn't long before the sound of drums sounded in the distance.

Zhaoyun, dressed in gorgeous clothes, waited outside the Dikun Hall with the support of Prajna. When the drums stopped and the solemn summons of the ceremonial official sounded, Zhaoyun slowly stepped into the hall step by step.

The crowd held their breath. And in Mu Xici's eyes, there was only the fiery red figure that came from afar.

After that, Prajna let go of his hand and stood sideways at the end of the queue of inner women. For the rest of the way, only Yu Zhaoyun walked alone.

She walked forward, and as she approached her position, she fell to her knees, folded her hands to the fringed brow, and bowed deeply to the ground.

After Luo Ye, who was sitting in the right position, signaled, Zhaoyun slowly got up.

I secretly scolded in my heart: Why is this face so heavy, and even my neck is a little sore when I put it on my head. Thankfully, this is only one time.

After a while, the ceremonial official finished the decree in front of the emperor, and then announced the precept: "Filial piety is the case, and the next is kindness." Gentle and upright, frugal and humble. No overflow, no arrogance, no bullying. The ancient precept is a formula, and it is observed. ”

Xuan, Zhaoyun bowed again, stepped forward and said in a clear voice: "Although I am not sensitive, dare not admit it!" ”

Later, under the guidance of the ceremonial officer, Zhaoyun and the prajna who came out of the column went to the incense table in front of the female banquet together.

Zhaoyun picked up the three slender standing incense sticks on the incense table, and as soon as he lit them on the incense burner, he heard a woman's exclamation from the women's table.

"Ahh There are snakes! ”

The crowd was shocked, and looked in the direction the woman was pointing, only to find a slender snake marching to Zhaoyun's feet.

Zhao Yun hurriedly looked down in shock, and suddenly his face changed drastically in fright.

I saw a small silver-ringed snake with a black and white body on its back, estimated to be the thickness of a baby's arm, already beside his shoes.

The snake held its dark brown head aloft, its white belly, and occasionally spat letters, revealing its two venom-laden fangs at Zhaoyun.

Zhaoyun was so frightened that he froze in place for an instant, and the hand holding Lixiang also trembled slightly.

As soon as the prajna beside him pulled out the dagger from his waist, he felt a figure in front of him.

As soon as everyone saw a figure, they flew from the banquet to the incense table, and grabbed the silver-ringed poisonous snake in their hands.

When Zhaoyun came back to his senses, he saw that the three inches of the snake had been restrained by Mu Xici, and the slender body with patterns writhed violently in the air, and the mouth with fangs opened menacingly.

Praruo, who was stunned on the side, only felt that her hand was light, and she saw Mu Xici pull the dagger out of her hand, and when the knife fell in her hand, the snake became several pieces and fell to the ground.

Zhaoyun suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, but he didn't know that on the female guest seat on the side, a pair of vicious eyes were already overflowing with unwillingness and full of hatred.

"He really deserves to be the third prince of Xiwu who has both civil and military skills!" Luo Ye clapped his hands and walked out from behind the guards who had just come to escort him.

"It's over, I just shot down a little snake." Mu Xici withdrew his gaze from Zhaoyun's pale face, nodded slightly to Luo Ye, and asked sideways, "Princess Zhaoyun, are you okay?" ”

Seeing that she shook her head, she breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Luo Ye, and returned to her seat.

"Since there is nothing to do, then the feast continues." Luo Ye motioned to the guards below, and after removing the body of the snake, he said loudly.

Only then did Zhaoyun slowly insert the three standing incense sticks that had been burned for a short period in his hand into the copper furnace on the incense table.

"With the auspiciousness of the year, with the order of pleasure, the three gars are served, and Baozi lives forever. In order to end the virtue, by the celebration of the sky. The voice of the ceremonial official sounded with the sound of silk and bamboo, "Licheng, the guests are invited to add hairpins for Princess Zhaoyun." ”

Princess Pingyang walked out of the first row of women, walked to the incense case, and made a hair for Zhaoyun in public. Then from the lacquer plate held by the ceremonial official, she picked up the gilded glazed eight-treasure hairpin made by the palace and put it on for her.

After the ceremony was celebrated, the women of the inner order, the ministers of the central government and the women of the foreign government who came to attend the ceremony, all stood up to congratulate.

After Zhaoyun's blessing and thanks, this complicated and auspicious ceremony was completed.

After all the spectators dispersed, Zhaoyun returned to the east room to take off his dress and jewelry, and changed into a lotus pink tunic palace dress to go to the Dikun Hall to listen to the ceremony.
