Chapter 144: Ceremonial insults
clenched her hands fiercely, even though she was entangled in her heart, she still eased her mind, and pretended to say calmly, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this, everything is going as planned, how can you break it if you say it, not to mention that Jin Se has already regarded you as my husband, if you don't marry in this life, how can you ruin this marriage contract halfway, and the emperor can think twice." ”
She was so serious that she said what was in her heart, but in exchange for Li Shaoyuan's sneer.
"Why do you say it so beautifully, whether it's this harem beauty, or a folk show girl, which one doesn't want to go to my dragon bed, you are just one of them, now it's just the queen mother's own opinion, let's not be that crazy man and woman, just disperse."
"But I don't want to, Your Majesty, you may think that all the women in the world are close to you because of your power, but I'm not, I really want to be the person next to you, and this marriage is also personally rewarded by the Queen Mother, it is a great blessing for me, I will not and cannot regret it."
Li Shaoyuan glanced at Jin Se, he really didn't expect that the woman in front of him would be even more difficult than he imagined, and he originally wanted to solve this matter peacefully, but the woman in front of him actually suppressed the queen mother, obviously he had already prepared for his words, and it seemed that the words he prepared later did not need to be said again.
"Are you sure that everything you say now is true, you have to know that you have no jokes, everything you say has its corresponding consequences, have you thought about it?" It was obviously a questioning tone, but at this moment, it became an affirmation in Li Shaoyuan's mouth, and the threat of that word by word seemed to carve one scar after another in Jin Se's heart, although it was already bloody, but she still said stubbornly: "I think about it." ”
Closing her eyes, she swallowed, expecting the punishment to come like a raging storm. But it was so quiet in front of him that you could hear a needle drop on the ground.
Hesitantly, she opened her eyes. But I found that there was no one in front of me, and when I turned around, I saw that the purse on the chair was particularly eye-catching.
She knew this purse, it was the purse that the emperor often wore on his body. She slowly stepped forward and put the purse in her hand to observe, only to see that the white satin was embroidered with an extremely ugly red flower. Turning it over, Chu Lan's name appeared crookedly in front of her eyes.
In an instant, Jin Se's whole eyes turned red, she gritted her teeth and pinched the purse in her hand, listening to the broken petals inside, the sound caused by gravity, and the fire in her heart gradually increased.
Chu Lan, I will let you leave Li Shaoyuan's side one day, you wait for me.
Time flew by, and in the long wait, all the people in the palace waited for the concubine ceremony.
Before dawn, the sound of a horn could be heard outside the palace. The sound of tinkling and ding dong is a sign of everything that is happening today.
Jin Se got up early, and in the face of the day and night she thought about today, she couldn't wait.
Changing into wedding clothes and painting wedding makeup, she is definitely glamorous today. Looking around, the red big happy word is particularly eye-catching, and the people who are busy all over her no longer tell her that everything she did today is not a dream, and in an instant her whole person flew up, and she immediately devoted herself to makeup.
Compared to the busyness in the Jinse Palace, Chu Lan was a little thin.
Bamboo had brought a wedding dress from Dequan early, but there was nothing else but this wedding dress.
"Miss, how could this emperor be so stingy, before accepting a concubine, there were also some palace maids busy in the room, but now let alone a palace maid, I didn't even see a single servant, and it was all in the end, the emperor didn't give out your identity, did he really want to accept you as a concubine?"
Seeing such a simple scene, Zhuzi said very uneasily, seeing that the concubine ceremony was about to begin, she had no choice but to put the wedding dress on Chu Lan's body.
Flipping through the packaging of the clothes, Bamboo almost screamed.
I saw that the wedding dress was white and gold, and the clothes were embroidered with a phoenix. Isn't this an honor only for imperial concubines?
"Bamboo, what's going on?" Feeling the abnormality of the bamboo, Chu Lan hurriedly walked up to watch, and when he saw that the clothes in the bamboo hand were golden, her whole person became decadent again.
Sure enough, it's just a formality. Which of the ancient wedding dresses is not prosperous, but the white silk in front of him, where is the joy of marriage. Sure enough, all this is just Li Shaoyuan's process.
"Miss, this dress is white and gold."
"Yes, this dress is white and gold." The two obviously said the same sentence, but there were thousands of differences in tone.
"Miss, in fact, I think the emperor is quite good to you, at least from this wedding dress......"
Before Zhuzi could finish speaking, Chu Lan waved her hand and motioned for her to stop talking. "You don't have to comfort me anymore, in fact, what is his attitude towards me, I know better than anyone else, this car marriage is originally our transaction, what does it matter if it is good or bad? That's it, just put on your clothes and wait quietly. ”
Seeing that Chu Lan didn't want to listen, Zhu Zi had no way to force it, so he had to frown his eyebrows and seriously comb Chu Lan.
But on the way to groom, the sound outside came from time to time.
The ceremony of the concubine has begun. This time, however, the ceremony was extraordinary. In order to show his love for the new concubine, Li Shaoyuan deliberately celebrated with the whole country.
At this moment, the white horse golden sedan chair had already walked out of the inner courtyard of the palace.
The Queen Mother watched this scene from the city wall, with indescribable joy on her face. Everything was going according to plan, but when she watched the sedan chair come out, she was stunned, and then stood up and shouted at Mama Rong on the side.
"W-what's going on?"
Rong Mama looked at the queue below and was also confused, seeing that the Queen Mother was about to stop the ceremony, she hurriedly shouted: "The Queen Mother can't, now the emperor has finally agreed to marry Miss Jinse, if you interrupt the ceremony now, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the emperor to listen to you, let it be." ”
Hearing this, the Queen Mother felt that she was angry and couldn't speak, so she had to silently watch a large number of cars and horses running below.
Under the wall, I saw the Guards clearing the road, Li Shaoyuan sat majestically on a spotless white horse, followed by two carriages, one platinum, one bright red, after the civil and military officials, thousands of palace maids, one by one sprinkled with red flowers, that I can't wait to spread this joy throughout the palace.
When the carriage stopped in Jinse's room, Jinse was overjoyed, and as soon as he went out, he wanted to get into the platinum carriage, but before the man could go up, he was driven out by the old woman at once.
"What are you doing, I'm today's concubine, what are your intentions in not letting me get into the carriage?" Maybe it was about to come true, Jin Se was a little fluttering, and hurriedly shouted to the old lady in front of him.
"Whoever should go to what position, you are wearing red, you should sit in the red carriage, if you don't even know this, I don't understand it all the time, how can you become a virtuous helper around the emperor, and the mother can be self-respecting, consciously go to the back of the car."
Jin Se was so angry by the old lady's words that she was speechless for a while, seeing that the long line was about to be cut off because of herself, she didn't dare to delay, so she had to put away her wayward temper and get into the bright red carriage.
"Niangniang, please don't worry, presumably the carriage in front should be prepared for the Queen Mother, it's our rules, it's okay, as long as it doesn't affect the normal holding of the ceremony." The little palace girl next to her was afraid that Jin Se would be angry and would be dyed with bad luck, so she hurriedly persuaded her.
Although Jin Se believed it, he still felt that something was wrong, so he had no choice but to close his eyes and wait to enter the hall.
But the sedan chair walked for a long time and did not reach the place she wanted to go, and she quickly opened her eyes impatiently, but when she saw it, she wanted to pierce her eyes.
I saw that the sedan chair stopped in front of the door of the bamboo garden at this moment. Opening the door, Chu Lan was wearing a hundred phoenix robes with golden threads, and the platinum and silver crown came into view, even if her face was painted with elegant makeup, it couldn't hide her grace and luxury at the moment.
Suddenly, Jin Se's whole eyes widened. Others may not know about this custom, but it is impossible for him not to know it. Looking at the emperor's appearance today, he must welcome the concubine twice.
Speaking of this double welcome concubine, the emperor has already set a precedent. The current queen mother used to welcome one of the concubines at the same time as the former emperor. This kind of thing has long been commonplace.
But the only difference is that the previous Shuangying concubines were all of the same position, and today's Chu Lan is wearing a platinum wedding dress, which is obviously one level higher than her.
Now she finally understands why the emperor did not agree to this marriage at the beginning, but still married it into the door, such a move is clearly the emperor insulting her.
Of course, except for Jin Se, who was shocked, everyone who followed below was equally shocked.
Chu Lan was wearing platinum clothes, which was nothing more than the emperor telling everyone that Chu Lan had been selected by him as the imperial concubine. And this imperial concubine is the most powerful person when there is no queen in the emperor, what this represents, all of them are self-evident.
Every time the convoy moves forward, there will be a palace maid scattering a handful of flowers, some people are happy, and some people are sad. The Ministry of Rites Shangshu looked at this scene, and his whole face darkened. If it weren't for the Queen Mother's promise in front of him, how could he have sent his only beloved daughter to the palace.
