Chapter 138: How Good Is This
Even the people can use the festive totem. Su Wan was shocked when she first learned this detail, she always thought that the phoenix was only for the queen to enjoy.
In the evening, Xiao Mochen wore a gorgeous dark blue embroidered gold gown and a Baoyu hairpin, pushed the door in from the outside, and shouted: "Wan'er? Are you ready? ”
In order to prevent the cold, Qingyun also intimately found a snow-white fox fur shawl for Su Wan, which further set off Su Wan's skin white and snowy, and the whole person was soft and beautiful without applying powder, like a rare kaolin flower.
After Xiao Mochen saw Su Wan's dress, he stood in place, with an evil smile on his face, and said slowly: "The princess of this king is really a national beauty. ”
Su Wan was embarrassed, glanced at Xiao Mochen with disgust, and then at the color outside, and was a little uneasy: "It's all strange that Qingyun and this girl are pulling me to choose clothes, it's been this time, I haven't combed my hair yet, and I haven't taken care of my makeup, how can this be good?" ”
Xiao Mochen smiled faintly, then stepped forward, stretched out his hand to pick up Su Wan's hair, and said with a smile: "Wan'er has such beautiful long hair, why don't you pour it down so naturally, so that those vulgar fans can sigh to themselves." ”
Qing Wan said with some hesitation: "Lord, according to the imperial etiquette system, only the relatives of the guilty ministers and daughters wear their hair loose, if the princess is like this, won't it be contrary to the etiquette system?" ”
Xiao Mochen smiled but didn't answer, walked over directly, motioned for Su Wan to sit down, and then he personally combed her long hair briefly.
His movements are gentle and delicate, each stroke infinitely warm, as if caressing the most precious work of art. Su Wan looked at Xiao Mochen's serious expression in the mirror, his heart moved, and he was a little strange, not knowing what he was going to do.
After Xiao Mochen combed his hair, he took out a hibiscus pearl from the jewelry box spread out on the table, shook it with his hand, picked up Su Wan's hair, and after some dexterous combing, it was coiled into a loose and stable beautiful bun.
This bun is wonderful, it looks like it is loose hair from a distance, but if you look closely, it is a neat bun that is not messy at all, which is very suitable for Su Wanjin's youthful and agile outfit.
Qing Wan watched from the side, his face was surprised, and said, "I really didn't expect that the prince still has such skills." ”
Xiao Mochen smiled faintly, and finally took care of Su Wan's hair, and said: "When my mother concubine was young, she also had such beautiful hair, she always loved to let me tie this kind of hair bun for her, and I would only do this." ”
Su Wan was stunned for a moment, and then she realized why Xiao Mochen was so affectionate every time she stroked her hair, and her deep eyes seemed to be going back to the distant past.
"Lord and princess, the housekeeper and uncle asked me to invite you two to set off, and the other carriages and horses in the palace have been arranged." Sima Xuan poked his head out of the door and said with a smile.
Xiao Mochen nodded with a smile, bowed his head and said to Su Wan: "Today, I also arranged a carriage for Xuan'er, and Gu Wu will take him out to have a good time." ”
A bright smile bloomed on Su Wan's face, and he said, "You really have a heart, but why do you want to let Gu Wu go, wouldn't it be good for me to lead Xuan'er around?" ”
Xiao Mochen leaned in, leaned close to Su Wan's ear and said, "You will be very busy tonight, and you don't have time to take Xuan'er." ”
The hot air he let out was warm, stabbing the roots of Su Wan's ears, her face flushed, so she quickly got up and changed the topic: "Let's go, don't let everyone wait too long." ”
Xiao Mochen looked at Su Wan's ears and was embarrassed, the smile on his face deepened, and he followed Su Wan all the way to the gate of the palace.
Su Wanjin's dress made many people's eyes shine, and they secretly admired the beauty and temperament of the concubine of Chenwangfu. Fu Yanran just glanced at the sedan chair from a distance, and then covered the curtain in anger.
"Huh? Where is my chariot? ”
Su Wan looked for half of it, and didn't see the carved sedan chair he was used to riding, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, just wanted to turn around and ask the head of the guard, he felt a light body, and the next second he was actually picked up in the air and placed on the back of the horse in front.
"What are you doing here? What are you carrying me here? Su Wan's face flushed, and it was not until he sat firmly that he finally locked his eyes on Xiao Mochen, the initiator, and asked ashamedly and annoyedly.
Xiao Mochen smiled, then turned over on the horse with a dexterous posture, just took Su Wan in his arms, and whispered to her: "Today, I will be your groom for the princess." ”
Su Wan was not allowed to say half a "no", Xiao Mochen raised his head and flicked his horsewhip in a dashing manner. The horses neighed happily and marched forward, and the whole royal procession moved slowly behind them.
Su Wan faced such a scene for the first time, and felt shy and novel. It is no more intimate and comfortable than sitting in a sedan chair, sitting on the back of the horse at the front, the people on both sides of the street can see themselves in Xiao Mochen's arms at a glance, with a look of surprise on their faces.
"This is Princess Chen? King Hechen is really a talented and beautiful couple! ”
"That's it, Princess Chen is really beautiful, like a goddess!"
"The relationship between King Chen and his wife is really good, I have never seen a noble couple ride a horse together on Flower Street like this!"
"Looking at it this way, no one in the court and the opposition can compare with King Chen, and no one among the ladies can compare with Princess Chen!"
Su Wan's face became redder and redder, and he could almost use it to roast a potato. Su Wan's voice was very soft, and in the air of the capital in the ice and snow, it brought Xiao Mochen a warm feeling like a spring breeze transiting.
After saying this, Su Wan was also a little surprised, why would she say such thoughtful words to Xiao Mochen without thinking. It's just that at that moment, she really felt sorry for his position and wanted to share it for him, not wanting him to feel like he was alone.
The two didn't say anything all the way, quietly enjoying the quiet and warm atmosphere.
At the beginning of the Luohua River tonight, both men and women, young and old, are wearing the most festive and gorgeous costumes to stand on the shore, helping the old and the young, and enjoying the beautiful night together.
Countless roadside stalls also opened lively, including women's clothing shops with the fragrance of sweet fat and powder, as well as exquisite houses shouting all kinds of dim sum food, everyone with the most simple and hearty smiles on their faces, and really looking forward to the arrival of the new year.
Yifeng Tower is even more gorgeous, the red lantern is hung high, the eaves are warped, the gorgeousness is very gorgeous, people can't take their eyes off it at a glance, they can only be amazed in their hearts.
The convoy walked to a stop in front of the hall door, and a special servant knelt on the ground and asked Su Wan to step on his back and dismount. As soon as Su Wan's feet landed, a maid who was full of incense stepped forward, took off her heavy cloak for her, and guided her and Xiao Mochen into the hall.
As soon as he entered the hall, a warm breeze with a sweet fragrance of flowers came to his face, Su Wan was stunned, in this era, it is possible to maintain such a large range of warm breath like spring and March, I really don't know how to do it.
The people present were either rich or noble, and they all threw warm and friendly inquiring smiles towards Su Wan. Su Wan was slightly nervous, and couldn't help but clench Xiao Mochen's palm beside him to make herself feel more at ease.
Xiao Mochen had a smile on his face, feeling the weight of Su Wan's palm, his smile deepened, and he and Su Wan supported each other all the way, and sat down.
The people around couldn't help but laugh and talk about it when they saw it, they only knew that Xiao Mochen was ruthless and ruthless, he was decisive in killing on the battlefield and left no way back, and he had always been cold to others, but he didn't expect that when he treated his beloved woman, he was so gentle and gentle, full of spring breeze.
Su Wan's cheeks flushed and sat down, Xiao Mochen sat next to her, stared at her with some amusement, and said, "It turns out that all the hot eyes on the side can make Wan'er's face so vivid and lovely." Knowing this, I arranged for someone to watch you in the house. ”
"Don't make fun of me anymore." Su Wan pursed her lips and snorted.
Xiao Mochen lowered his head and smiled, stretched out his slender jade hand, and thoughtfully began to prepare vegetables for Su Wan. Among the many guests, only Xiao Mochen personally cooked vegetables for his wife, which inevitably attracted more people's envious and surprised eyes.
As he spoke, the prince's convoy also arrived, and the gloomy prince hurriedly walked in front, followed by the princess who was held by two maids, and her face still had clear tear stains, looking infinitely aggrieved.
When the prince passed by Xiao Mochen's seat, he didn't forget to pause for a moment, and cast an angry look accurately.
The emperor sat on the throne of the Nine Dragons, taking in all these changes, and couldn't help but snort coldly, and said loudly: "Feast!" ”
"Open-feast-" The imperial eunuch listened, and hurriedly announced loudly in a long voice.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
All the guests immediately got up, raised the wine glasses in their hands, and shouted long live at the emperor mountain on the throne, with a look of reverence on their faces.
"A year is fleeting, thanks to all the Aiqing performing their duties and sharing worries for me, we can ensure that the empire is stormy and prosperous, and the country is becoming richer and stronger! This glass of wine, I respect all Aiqing! ”
The emperor stood up gracefully and shouted a toast, and His Royal Highness's civil and military officials immediately shouted, "Long live Xie!" Then he drank all the wine from his cup.
"This second cup of wine, I want to pay tribute to my son, King Chen." After the emperor poured the wine and the eunuch poured it for him to fill it again, he turned his face and looked at Xiao Mochen and said: "King Chen has repeatedly made military exploits, and he is really my right-hand man, and I should rely more on heroes to protect the empire from continuing to prosper!" ”
"King Jingchen!" Which of those present does not have the eyesight to see? Immediately shouted in unison, and turned to face Xiao Mochen to toast.
In an instant, countless eyes that were even hotter than before were cast in an instant, Su Wan felt a little embarrassed, like ten thousand arrows piercing her heart, she secretly glanced at Xiao Mochen, but marveled at his expression as usual, just raised his wine glass slightly, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Father." ”
After drinking these two glasses of wine, it was really a joy for the guests and the hosts, and the joyful atmosphere of the banquet was opened up at once. In the midst of the staggering, what everyone talked about the most was the future trend of the empire and whether Xiao Mochen's status would be raised.
Although everyone has to be secretive, but at present, Xiao Mochen is in the position of the prince, with 400,000 troops, and is already the head of the empire.
Fu Yanran sat in a group of greased and powdered side room ladies, half a hall away from Xiao Mochen, and couldn't help but be a little reluctant, and drank a few glasses of stuffy wine alone.
Caifeng looked at her depressed appearance, and didn't know how to comfort her for a while, except to secretly mix some neutralizing osmanthus nectar into her wine, there was no better way.
In the remote part of the hall, An Xuejian was very satisfied with his position, eating and drinking naturally, regardless of the eyes of others. Yue Rushuang on the side was anxiously looking for where her mother's seat was, and she didn't forget to turn her head to look at An Xuejian sarcastically, and said, "Why don't you veil your baby when you eat?" ”
An Xuejian didn't bother to take care of her, but she didn't admit it, and said, "You better find your father quickly and beg him to take you back and don't be bullied by the prince." ”
"You!" Yue Rushuang's face became even more unsightly, and as soon as he wanted to refute, he heard the voice of the eunuch greeting from the front hall outside, so he stopped his voice and just glared at An Xuejian.
A thin eunuch walked quickly through the hall, came to the emperor's side and whispered a few words, the emperor nodded slightly, and then said again: "Everyone Aiqing is quiet for a moment, I want to introduce you to a distant guest." ”
The curtain woven of brocade was gently lifted by the maid, and a pair of white jade soft boots poked out first. In the amazed gaze of everyone, a man with a body like a white crane and eyebrows like a distant mountain jumped in, with a calm look on his face.
Su Wan was originally curious, cast a glance, and then his breath stagnated, his apricot eyes were round, and his face was full of incredulity.
A flash of surprise flashed in Xiao Mochen's eyes, and then it was precipitated into full solemnity.
"Please invite the king of Chenguo, Su Baili came forward to meet you!"
Ji Qiubai, no, it should be Su Baili, the king of Chenguo, passed through the hall surrounded by flowers without squinting, even when he passed by the position where Su Wan and Xiao Mochen were, he didn't have any side heads, and his eyes calmly crossed over.
Ji Qiubai walked gracefully to the emperor's steps, raised his hand and saluted, and said, "Your Majesty is blessed with Jin'an." ”
"No courtesy." Although the old emperor didn't get up, he was already smiling, stretched out his hand and said, "Don't give the king of Chenguo a seat yet!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ji Qiubai's figure flickered, and he sat down elegantly, and after the shy maid beside him poured him full of wine, he raised his head again, looked at the emperor with clear eyes, smiled lightly, and toasted a glass of wine.
The emperor nodded slightly, stroked his beard with a smile, and then said leisurely in front of the civil and military officials: "Chen Guo and our empire have been trading for a hundred years, and the incumbent king is even more young and strong, and it is really a great blessing for the people of the two countries to actively promote the friendly economic and cultural exchanges between our two countries!" ”
Ji Qiubai's expression did not change, but he bowed gracefully and said: "Chen Country is a land of projectiles, and thanks to the selfless support of His Majesty the Empire, our country can develop under the shade of a big tree." ”
With a simple sentence, the old emperor was coaxed into a smile, his face was full of red light, and he immediately ordered Ji Qiubai to Kaifeng aged wine to cheer up.
Su Wan sat in His Royal Highness and looked at Ji Qiubai in disbelief. Is the man in front of him gorgeously dressed and with the deterrent power of an imperial tiger in his eyebrows, or the white-clothed Shengxue, shuttling among the refugees to enthusiastically help Master Rao?
