Chapter 400: The Great Ceremony After the Seal
The ceremony after the seal was very complicated and lengthy, and Zhuo Yu followed the etiquette taught by his grandmother step by step with the chanting of the ceremonial officer. Probably because she had reviewed many times in advance, and with Yu Chi Jin by her side in the second half, she was not so nervous as she imagined, but showed a calm and elegant posture.
Such a posture is incomparable to the nobles in Beijing in any case, even if the most severe lady sees it, she can't help but praise her generosity and decency.
The post-sealing ceremony is to accept the worship of hundreds of officials. When Wei Chi Jin led Zhuo Yu to the high position, the old ministers who had previously stopped him from making Zhuo Yu the queen almost lowered their heads to the ground at this moment, and they didn't dare to look up at these two people at all.
They didn't know how to be polite before, but in fact, they only sent someone to inquire before that, and they hadn't seen Zhuo Yu in person at all. At today's ceremony, the latter's near-perfect etiquette and the praise of the unknown lady of the Decree simply turned into an invisible slap and slapped them in the face.
If this is called not knowing the number of etiquette, then what has become of their daughters and the nobles of other families? Isn't that even as good as Yamanomura Aunt?
Zhuo Yu didn't know what they were thinking, she only felt that her neck was about to be crushed by the heavy phoenix crown and the pearl hairpin on her head. I don't know how the craftsmen found in the treasure house are so real, and the materials are too sufficient!
But the emperor's wedding is different from ordinary people's homes, not only can she not leave early, but she also has to accompany Yu Chijin to sit here to accept the congratulations of hundreds of officials. After the banquet, she was finally able to leave early and go to Fengyi Palace.
Jing Yan felt sorry for her, and when she saw that only Mama Ruan and Mama Shen were outside the door, she lowered her voice and said, "Niangniang, you didn't eat two bites at the banquet just now, why don't you go and get some snacks to cushion your stomach?" ”
This girl is now more and more like a maid, not only remember to change the title, but look, now I have learned to feel sorry for people!
Zhuo Yu sighed with great satisfaction, but he didn't really let her get it: "No need, there are some melons and fruits on the table over there, it seems that there are peanuts and sunflower seeds." I'll go over and eat some by myself in a moment, and you can go out first." ”
This is a new house, and even if you want to keep someone to serve you, you can only wait outside the door. If Jing Yan comes in with food for a while, if he is accidentally seen, he is afraid that he will conjure up some uncoordinated rumors again.
She said so, and Jing Yan did see that there were a lot of melons and fruits on the table, so she didn't say much, and retreated according to her words.
Seeing that the door was closed, Zhuo Yu originally wanted to go to the table to eat, but as soon as she stood up and didn't take two steps, the heavy feeling on her head made her change her mind, and she came to the dresser with a turn.
She looked at the slightly blurred figure in the mirror, and quickly took off the largest phoenix crown on her head carefully. Although there are still pearls on the head, the weight is indeed a lot lighter. Zhuo Yu didn't bother to care about the remaining hairpin rings, moved his neck slightly, and went to the table full of melons and fruits.
On weekdays, I eat peanuts and sunflower seeds that are not very delicious, but at this time, Zhuo Yu peeled them off and threw them into his mouth, and he always felt that the more he chewed, the more fragrant he became.
At the banquet just now, except for a few people who were too thin-skinned to come forward to toast, even the old ministers who had been opposed to Wei Chi Jin marrying her had come forward. Although she doesn't have to drink every glass of wine, she always has to show something, even if it's just a smile, she can't be regarded as not seeing. As a result, after a dinner party, not only did her face stiffen with a smile, but she didn't even eat a few bites of food, just a few glasses of wine.
When Yu Chijin came over, what he saw was Zhuo Yu, who was sitting at the table and eating without any image.
He shook his head and walked over, sat down beside her, and said helplessly and distressedly: "Eat slowly, and no one will rob you." ”
Hearing this, Zhuo Yu raised his head and stuffed a handful of freshly peeled sunflower seeds into his hand: "Why did you come back so quickly, those ministers have already left?" ”
"It's not done yet, but with Situ Shu watching from the front, I'll come back first."
Yu Chijin didn't say anything polite to her at all, took the handful of sunflower seeds and threw them directly into his mouth, and didn't forget to pour himself another cup of tea. Looks like he's a little hungry too.
Seeing him like this, Zhuo Yu didn't make fun of him once, but peeled a handful of sunflower seeds for him very intimately.
When he was at the banquet just now, he, like her, didn't eat a few bites of food, and was all drinking with the courtiers. At a banquet like this, all the delicacies are just to be seen, and almost everyone is thinking about how to take advantage of this opportunity to please people with higher positions than themselves, and not many people will actually taste them.
Fang Cai Zhuoyu had already eaten a lot of melons and fruits to pad his stomach, but he was not very hungry at this time. So while helping Yu Chi Jin peel the fruit, he asked her what happened after she left.
After peeling for a while, she suddenly remembered that when she was at the banquet, Wei Chi Jin not only helped her block several glasses of wine, but he also drank a lot of it himself, so she hurriedly asked, "Are you dizzy now?" Do you want Jing Yan to cook some decanting soup? ”
The latter didn't rush to answer when he heard this, but as if he was deliberately trying to tease her, he suddenly approached her and hooked his lips and smiled: "Yu'er, it's too insincere for you to ask after I've been in for so long." ”
"What sincerity does this require? When you were at the banquet, weren't you drinking quite happily? ”
Zhuo Yu snorted, and deliberately tilted his head to the side, obviously disgusted with his drunken taste, "I just thought that there would be a glass of wine to drink in a while, in case you get drunk and can't get up tomorrow morning, those old guys don't know what excuse they have to find to talk about me." ”
Although she said that, she still poured another cup of tea for Yu Chi Jin, and then prepared to get up and ask Jing Yan to cook the sobering soup.
However, before she could put down the teapot and stand up, Yu Chijin suddenly pulled her into his arms as if he had guessed what she meant. Zhuo Yu didn't expect him to come out like this suddenly, and when she reacted, she found that she was already lying in his arms, and her posture was very ambiguous.
Yu Chi Jin looked down at her slightly, although the words he spit out were still full of wine, but his eyes were very clear except for the full tenderness, and he didn't see the slightest drunken look.
Zhuo Yu was a little stunned for a while, and forgot to struggle out of this embarrassing posture. Yu Chijin was very satisfied with this, deliberately leaned a little closer, and whispered in her ear: "There is no need for sobering soup, your husband still has a little bit of wine." But I didn't expect Mrs. to be in such a hurry and bring up the wine so quickly. ”
