Chapter 53

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.

As soon as he arrived in front of the Dikun Palace, he heard Luo Ye's interrogation voice coming from the hall.

"How are you in charge, and how can a poisonous snake come in at this feast?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the minion has repeatedly checked that the banquet hall is indeed correct!" Gonggong Wu, who was led by the deacon, knelt down in front of Luo Ye and said tremblingly.

"A good sentence is indeed correct!" Chang De, who was sitting on a high place, scolded angrily and said, "Since it is correct, where did the poisonous snake come from?" Shocked by the holy driver, and so perfunctory, who gave you the guts? ”

"Queen Mother, the phoenix body is important, don't be angry because of this dog slave." Luo Ye was relieved, and then ordered, "Come on, drag Gonggong Wu down for interrogation!" ”
