Chapter 184: The Big Wedding (2)
I didn't mean to make fun of him, but when I saw Guan Ju's face turned red: "He's so busy, where can he have time to drink any tea... It was, it was we who said something at the gate of the houseβ"
"βTalk? Do you have a good time to talk to others? Pu Jia was also interested, "I want to hear what Grandpa Xiao Luo said to you?" β
"Father-in-law Luo is devoted to the emperor, and the emperor is devoted to our girl, so we are naturally talking about girls."
"Say me? Say what about me? β
"Grandpa Luo is also kind, so he reminded us of this." Guan Ju's swollen face showed a somewhat serious look, "Girl, do you remember that when the emperor first planned to welcome you into the palace, two little eunuchs went to Taopinlou to report the good news?" β
"yes, what's wrong?"
"In the eyes of the people in the palace, such an errand to report the good news is usually fat, because when the courtiers are in a good mood, they will always give some rewards to a greater or lesser extent......"
I suddenly said, "Ah... Yes, that day, I was flying a kite in the yard with Duan Ming, and when I heard the news from them, I was overjoyed for a while, and I didn't give them a reward. Why, Grandpa Luo didn't reward him for these two deliveries, so he was not happy? β
"People are not unhappy! The person is the chief eunuch, the celebrity in front of the emperor, how can he be unhappy because of this trivial idea! Guan Ju's reaction was a little violent, "People are just afraid that you don't understand the rules, girl, and you will be the master in the palace in the future, and you will not be chewed by the minions." β
"Yes, yes, Father-in-law Luo is generous, so naturally he just reminded him kindly." I exchanged snickering glances with Pu Jia, "So what's the matter, those two little eunuchs in the palace said that I was stingy and didn't understand the rules?" β
"If you just say that you are stingy, where can the slave and maid talk in front of you?" Guan Ju frowned more and more, "Those two shallow-eyed things didn't beg for oil and water, so they were resentful, and spread rumors in the palace, saying that you and Duan Shaoxia had an ambiguous relationship, and they were pulling and pulling in broad daylight!" β
"What?" Pu Jia's face also changed when she heard this, and she said in a very small voice in my ear: "Now that the emperor is trying to accept the girl into the palace, it has caused criticism from the government and the opposition, if there are more rumors and slanders in the palace, won't it be more and more difficult for the emperor and the girl to do?" β
"It's not as serious as you said," Guan Ju had a look of pride on his face, "Fortunately, Gonggong Luo listened to all directions and heard these nonsense words they said, so he even kicked them out of the palace." β
Pu Jia still frowned: "In this way, we owe that little Luo's father-in-law a big favor." β
"Father-in-law Luo wants to thank him, but he is on an errand in front of the palace flag, and everything he does is naturally for the sake of the palace flag." I waved my hand and looked at Guan Ju playfully, "There are some people who think that they can get away with telling the story in a colorful way." You can't fool me, even if Grandpa Luo talked to you about this, you wouldn't have taken so long to come back, right? β
Guan Ju's cheeks were red again, and his voice softened a little for no reason: "That person kindly reminded me and helped the girl and the emperor so much, the slave and maid naturally wanted to repay it, but the slave and maid had nothing to do, so I thought about it for a long time... The jade hairpin that the girl on the head is worth some money... So ......"
"-So you gave the hairpin to someone else as a thank you gift?" Pu Jia couldn't help laughing, "Is he going to do it too?" β
Guan Ju kept stirring the silk in his hand, a little daughter's attitude: "I was afraid that he wouldn't want it, so I pulled out the hairpin and stuffed it into his hand, and without waiting for him to refuse, he ran all the way back......"
"If you're really like that, people won't necessarily refuse." I looked at Guan Ju's neatly coiled bun, "So you went back to your room and re-combed your hair, didn't you?" β
"Today is a great day for the girl, and the whole city is watching. As the girl's personal maid, the slave and maid naturally didn't dare to despise her manners, which made people laugh. β
"I don't know if anyone has seen your jokes, but I know that when you turn around and enter the palace, someone must look at you without blinking!"
Pu Jia finally couldn't help laughing out loud, Guan Ju was so ashamed that his face was flushed, and he stood in place and stomped his feet repeatedly.
It was so funny to joke about Guan Ju, and I forgot about sleepiness and hunger for a while. The grandmother, who still stood in the room, saw that the three of us master and servant were laughing and playing unorthodox, and urged me to put on the crown quickly.
Dressed neatly and with my makeup finished, I pressed against the back of the wooden chair to prevent the heavy gold-plated silk flying phoenix from crushing my neck. Everyone stood around me with bated breath and stood under the small courtyard porch, and at this time I finally felt extremely excited and nervous.
My cold hands were sweating, and I couldn't lift my eyelids from hunger, Guan Ju and Pu Jia took turns wiping the sweat from my forehead and neck from time to time, for fear that I would spend this delicate heavy makeup before I left the house.
"Girl..."Pu Jia saw a drop of sweat from my hair crown, slowly seeping into Daimei's eyebrows, and finally sliding into her half-open and half-closed eyes, she couldn't help but be shocked, and lowered her voice: "Girl... Are you alright, don't you have heat stroke? β
"I don't know... I...... Pu Jia, this dress is so thick, I'm so hungry-"
"-This won't work, the slave maid went to the small kitchen to get some ice bowls..."Guan Ju was distressed and scared, "Pu Jia said that she wouldn't let you eat and drink today, but just in case, I told the slave maid to prepare food last night, and the slave maid will go and get it now!" β
Guan Ju ran away, ignoring the calls of the grandmothers behind him, and ran out of the yard. Less than half a cup of tea, I was overjoyed to see her running back with a small bowl of chilled honey fruits.
"It's amazing, I saw Master Hou coming to the backyard, and he followed me!" Guan Ju was sweating profusely, knelt down in front of me with a plop, and brought a spoonful of fruit to my mouth: "-Come, girl, eat quickly......"
"Lord Lihou has arrived!"
Only then did he smell the fresh sweetness, a long cry of the eunuch, and the fruit that had not yet reached his mouth was taken back by Guan Ju in a hurry. Passing her body that hurriedly got up, I saw that a large group of people had stopped outside the courtyard, and the Hou Ye strode into the courtyard, his face was as bright as spring. Glancing at Guan Ju, who had hurriedly got up, he couldn't help but smile and strode towards me.
"Respect Your Majesty's grace, give the old minister the responsibility of marrying, the imperial concubine is above, please accept the old minister's worship!"
"-Master Hou, please get up quickly!"
Seeing that I saw Hou Ye bowing down, I was so anxious that I wanted to get up, Pu Jia's eyes were quick, and I stepped forward in time to help Hou Ye up.
"Master Hou, you are my father-in-law outside; You are my lifesaver. I can't afford to pay this worship! β
"Now there is only one ceremony left, and you are the only imperial concubine of Daxin. Above one man and under ten thousand, who will you not be able to bear? Hou Ye smiled and pushed Pu Jia back to my side, already laughing with tears, "You and Your Majesty have kept the clouds open, and you have come to the bitter end, and you will return to the fireflies... The old minister is really happy for you. β
I stood up, walked to Hou Ye's side and held his hands: "Hou Ye, if you hadn't rescued you that day, there would have been no imperial concubine with today's great intentions." The battle for the succession of the first emperor, if it were not for your secret help several times, I and the palace banner would not have come to this point. You are the benefactor of Gui Hotaru, and you are also the benefactor of Daxin. This worship is deserved... It's time for Hotaru to come and worship youβ"
"-Mother!"
As soon as I bent my knees, I was shocked that all the people in the courtyard gathered around me. Hou Ye almost wanted to cry when he saw me, but he could only wipe away the tears on his face and smile joyfully at me again.
"Today is the day of your wedding to Your Majesty, and you cannot bow down to anyone but Your Majesty." Hou Ye held my hand, and then said loudly: "The hour is not early, the convoy is still waiting outside, please wait for the mother and the girls to leave!" β
When everyone got the order, they put the big red hijab on my head and hugged me and walked towards the phoenix that was parked outside the courtyard. Guan Ju was still holding the small ice bowl in his hand, and he was embarrassed for a long time before he had to put it on the stone steps, and when Hou Ye saw it, he smiled slightly, and shouted: "Take it." β
This Guan Ju and Pu Jia helped me up to the Eight Rides Phoenix, so I didn't care about my manners anymore, lifted the hijab, rudely took the ice bowl handed over by Guan Ju, and drank it all. The morning of the beginning of summer with the joy of beating and beating, it was particularly hot. Fortunately, this phoenix is cool and breezy, very comfortable, needless to say, it is naturally the mind of Gong Wan.
Reminiscing about the sweetness of honey and the coolness of ice fruits, I was slumping my waist and closing my eyes to recuperate, when I suddenly heard an extremely subtle call from outside: "Return to Firefly, Return to Firefly?" β
I nodded to Guan Ju, she lifted the curtain, and I was pleasantly surprised to see Sarong in a bun of maids walking slowly with the convoy in the middle of a row of maids of the same color.
wanted to get up, but his neck was clamped by the phoenix crown like the top of Mount Tai. Seeing that I was grinning in pain, Sarong blinked her charming peach blossom eyes and signaled that I didn't have to say anything, just sit in the middle of the chariot.
With Sarong's company, I feel more and more confident in my heart. In addition, with food in the stomach, the discomfort of dizziness in the morning gradually subsided. My heart was like a big stone settled, full of joy, and unusually sweet.
Is this what it's like to marry your sweetheart?
The sweetheart, when he thinks of Miyahata's face, his already comfortable mood becomes more and more as if he is immersed in a honey pot.
It's too hard, too dangerous. We braved the pouring rain and bowed our heads forward, never thinking that after the rain and the sky cleared, it would be such a complete and warm life.
For some reason, I suddenly remembered Lu Zhiyu. When these three words came to mind, even I was so surprised - after all, I had been in this world for half a year, and my parting with him in that world was already a long way off.
I tried to find out what emotions welled up in my heart when I thought of him, but there was only a blank slate.
He left so suddenly, and my forgetting of him was mixed in every thrilling day and night in the past six months.
Perhaps, I really let go, I thought.
