Chapter 5 The Big Wedding (2)
After the baptism of heavy rain, the light of the early morning shines with a faint multicolored light, the clouds are leisurely and warm, and the swallows patrol south.
When Adu woke up, it was past noon, except for the Xiwu Palace, the palace was full of joy.
The fatigue of the whole body was not taken off, the rumbling drum sounded, Adu slowly raised his eyes, the eyelashes like a fan floated slightly, he got up and rubbed his sour waist, his eyes fell on a red mark on the bed, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, with satisfaction and joy.
He closed his clothes to cover the blue and red marks on his body, and got out of bed barefoot, his long legs looming as white as jade, very dazzling.
The floor tiles in autumn were a little chilly, and the cool air adhered to the soles of his feet, instantly stabbing away his fatigue and making him suddenly sober up.
After he walked to the screen, he changed into a set of white background collar gowns, stood in front of the bronze mirror and tied up his ink hair, a carved white jade hairpin dotted with a touch of blue was inserted in the black hair, his face was clear and his skin was as white as snow, and he looked good like a person in the painting.
The noise outside the door became louder and louder, and he couldn't help frowning, his eyes were a little bored, and he turned around and walked towards the door.
With a squeak, the closed door was pushed open, and there was a row of waiters waiting to wash up outside the door.
Adu poured water and simply freshened up, took a cotton cloth and dipped it in the water marks on his face, and his eyebrows were more clear and expressive.
"When did Emperor Qing leave?" He asked, his tone much better than yesterday.
"It's almost dawn and it's gone!"
The chamberlain on the side replied.
When answering, the sound of gongs and drums outside the Xiwu Palace was endless, and everyone was worried that the noble man held by the emperor would be angry today, and they were all afraid of suffering, so they never dared to wake him up.
Now looking at his indifferent appearance, the attendants couldn't help but look down at each other, looking confused.
"Where's my ginseng soup?" Adu asked lightly, and handed the handkerchief in his hand to the attendant on the side.
"It's ready, warm it in the antechamber."
The chamberlain on the side handed the handkerchief to the person behind him, and stepped on his heels.
He was very frightened in his heart, they all knew how difficult this Adu prince was, for fear that he would smile meekly, turn around and immediately dodge and walk out, but they didn't have the ability to catch up.
Adu didn't ask anything more, thinking of last night, and thinking of Yue Qing saying that he would not stay in Qimei Palace tonight, he didn't seem to be so uncomfortable in his heart, and his white and slender hand stroked a few buds under the corridor, and slowly walked towards the front hall.
The sacrifice on the Temple of Heaven has ended, and a mighty team came to Qimei Palace, the Qimei Palace with red silk hanging all over the courtyard is magnificent, but although this Qimei Palace is looking at all kinds of famous court decorations, but the furnishings are dazzling and flashy, at first glance, the preparation is very hasty, and there is a lack of a little bit of grandeur to match the queen.
Jiang Qi sat on the bed in the wedding room, wearing a red makeup and gorgeous dress to set off his noble and graceful appearance.
He looked at the dragon and phoenix pattern tray in front of him, and the jade cup full of wine on the plate, and then looked at the Qing Emperor who had already walked out, and his heart suddenly felt a little sour.
As soon as he untied the corners of the knotted skirt, Qi Sang saw the dark marks leaking from the collarbone of the Qing Emperor, and when he thought of the man in the Xiwu Palace, he couldn't stop feeling sad in his heart.
He had long known that he looked like that man, and he had long known that Emperor Qing had always loved that man who could not see the light.
During the draft the day before yesterday, he kept his head down and was worried, afraid of being selected, and afraid that he would never have a chance to get close to her if he couldn't be selected, but she suddenly chose him with a smile on his face, making him suddenly her queen, he once thought he was the closest to her, but now it seems that it is still out of reach.
Before this, she was still looking forward to it, with the love that had been hidden in her heart for several years, but now, this Qing Emperor who he thought about day and night, except for acting in front of people, when she arrived at the new house of these two people, she didn't even look at him.
The door was shut, and the figure swam towards the outer courtyard with the light falling on the window covered with the word "Joy", and finally disappeared into the corner of the wall piled with gold, silver and jewels.
Qi Sang pinched the corners of his clothes, and his eyes were dark red.
Emperor Qing walked to the front of the hall, and Caiyu was waiting for her there, holding a box in her hand.
"How is he today?" Emperor Qing's tone was light, and he rolled up his wide sleeves as he spoke, revealing his thin white arms.
"Childe is quite quiet today, and he doesn't make any moves." Caiyu replied in a low voice, and opened the brocade box with her hand, revealing a pearl-white pill.
Emperor Qing picked up the pill and fed it to his mouth and chewed it, the taste was very bland, like chewing wax.
"Your Majesty, do you want to prepare another one for this wine washing pill?" Caiyu asked.
"No, one is enough." Saying that, Emperor Qing raised his glass and took a sip of water, swallowed the pill, turned around and walked towards the place where the guests were feasted in the outer court.
The sound of silk and bamboo is drunk, and it is getting louder and louder.
Jiang Qi slowly let go of her red hand, walked slowly to the door, and she raised her hand and knocked on the wooden door three times.
A dark figure could be seen in the light and standing next to the door.
Jiang Qi took out a small box from his arms, he glanced at the box, the contents he didn't want to use, but now...... He thought about it for a moment and pushed the door open a corner and handed it out.
"Give this to Sister A, she knows what to do."
The shadow didn't speak, it took something and disappeared in a flash.
Jiang Qi covered the door and slowly walked to the bronze mirror and sat down, he looked at himself in the mirror, but no one appreciated the peerless elegance, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a helpless to heartbreaking smile.
The vestibule was bustling, and everyone thought that the Qing Emperor would not come back again, so it would not be so restrained, and there was laughter.
"The Qing Emperor has arrived." The inner supervisor said with a loud voice.
The people at the table in the courtyard immediately returned to their seats in shock, and suddenly there was no laughter, and the sound of silk and bamboo was particularly clear.
Yue Qing stepped up and sat on the head seat of the coiled dragon and picked up the cup on the side.
"I'm in a very good mood today, you don't have to be too restrained."
Although the Qing Emperor spoke, all the courtiers didn't dare to go crazy anymore, and they all smirked and laughed haha.
Jiang Xu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, pinched the powder in his hand with a slightly dark look, carefully clamped it between his fingers, he slowly got up and walked forward, and secretly sprinkled things in a few cups of prepared wine on the table when he bypassed the emperor's side.
"Jiang Su congratulates Your Majesty, your Majesty, the younger brother Qi Sang can always accompany Your Majesty, my father and mother are very happy in my heart, Jiang Yun is here to give His Majesty a cup for his father and mother." Jiang Yunying is outstanding, although he is lying on his back, he is very straight.
Yue Qing has always been more interested in the Jiang family, picked up the wine cup and smiled at Jiang Xu, raised his head and drank the wine in the cup.
The officials on the side were already a little drunk, and when they saw that someone had started, the Qing Emperor did not blame him, and all the people on the side raised their glasses one by one, and after a while, Yue Qing swept away the wine on the table.
She touched her stomach for wine and slowly got up.
"Caiyu, you pay attention not to let people enter the inner hall, and after a while, you will tell Jiang Qi that I am drunk and staying in the side hall, and there is no need to come to look for it." After Emperor Qing whispered, he was about to get up, but his head began to feel a little dizzy.
He staggered and held on to the dragon chair to gain a foothold.
Cai Yu immediately stepped forward to support the Qing Emperor.
"Your Majesty, are you drunk?" She cared.
Yue Qing shook his dizzy head and let go of the dragon chair.
"After eating the wine washing pills, I'm fine." So saying, he walked towards the inner sanctum.
She looked at the somewhat vague corridor, and walked lightly towards the star-picking tower behind the inner hall, she was about to walk through the happy room, when suddenly the door on the side was pushed open, Jiang Qi happened to be standing in the door behind her, looking at her inexplicably.
