Chapter 240: The Planned Wedding (1)
Hu Pin followed Bao Yan behind the two of them, bypassing the lush garden and walking to a place, her back seemed to be very graceful and lonely. Probably most of the women in this palace are living unsatisfactory lives, Hu Pin thought so, and followed them into a palace before they had already entered.
This temple is octagonal again, under the eaves of sixteen places, there are thirty-two wind chimes hung, on the eaves of the palace that flies up steeply, there are sixty-four bronze sculptures squatting, the top of the eaves is the four divine beasts, guarding the palace, so not majestic and majestic.
In the center of the temple, which describes the power of God, hangs a plaque with three large characters with iron and silver hooks.
In the book, "The Hall of Forgotten Souls". The pen is thrilling, as if telling some thrilling past, and as if looking forward to some unique future.
Because of his humble status, Hu Pin didn't dare to look around for too long in front of the main hall, and after looking around, he immediately lowered his head and bent over like other attendants, and he didn't dare to take an extra breath of the atmosphere, for fear of disturbing the noble atmosphere here.
Ruoxi came to the main hall accompanied by Xiaoxiao, and the servants around saw her return and knelt down to salute, Ruoxi raised her hand slightly, so that the Zhou people were exempt from courtesy, and between every move, she had the demeanor and majesty of a king.
"Since you are here, you will measure the size, otherwise, you can't measure the size today, it will be difficult to explain." There was a breeze blowing in front of her, bringing out a quiet fragrance, Hu Pin didn't react for a while that this high-ranking princess was talking to herself, and after a pause without answering, Baoyan came over and patted him, and whispered, "The princess is talking to you." ”
Hu Pin hurriedly lay on the ground and kowtowed, "Yes, princess." ”
Ruoxi chuckled a smile, "Your Highness is not here, why bother to be polite, come forward." ”
Hu Pin hurriedly thanked him again, then got up tremblingly, opened the small box he was carrying, and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Baoyan, "Wait a minute, this box needs to be checked." ”
Ruoxi glanced at Bao Yan puzzled, and Bao Yan explained, "It was specially ordered by His Royal Highness, and now the time is special, and the safety of the princess cannot be sloppy." ”
Hu Pin handed over the small box in a regular manner, and waited for Baoyan to finish the inspection, there was a stack of rulers made of soft cowhide, stone powder blocks for drawing the size of clothes, a straight wooden ruler painted with a fine yellow color, and three types of scissors, horizontal knives, needles and various colors of silk threads were also placed neatly, all of which were used for work. Baoyan checked carefully, and then let Hu Pin go over and give Ruoxi a measure.
Under the supervision of a group of people, Hu Pin finally measured Ruoxi's size, recorded them on the cloth with stone powder blocks one by one, and asked Ruoxi in detail about the colors and colors that Ruoxi liked, Ruoxi was slightly stunned, and shook her head with a smile, "The princess has never liked any bells and whistles satin, you can just pick up some elegant styles to do." ”
Hu Pin was about to answer yes, but was stopped by Ruoxi, "No, this time, there must be something more gorgeous and dignified." She picked up the teacup on the table, took two sips gently, and immediately filled the room with the fragrance of tea.
"If you want to be festive, don't use the big red of the eight classics." Ruoxi added.
Hu Pin lowered his head and thought for a while before he dared to ask, "Is the princess going to a wedding banquet or a birthday banquet?" The little one is good to finalize the trick for you. ”
Ruoxi asked softly, "Is this any different?" ”
"Princess, don't you know, you have to pay attention to the fancy clothes you wear on different occasions, for example, if you want to attend a birthday banquet, and the birthday star is a man, you must wear pine and bamboo, cranes, and cypresses. If the birthday star is a woman, it is necessary to wear peonies, plum blossoms, etc., to express the meaning of celebration and longevity. ”
"I really can't imagine that there are so many exquisiteness in one pattern," Ruoxi glanced at the smile that was also stunned, and then put his eyes on Hu Pin's body on the ground, and said in an extremely light tone, "Then, if this palace is attending His Highness's wedding banquet, what kind of tricks should be worn to match?" ”
This...... This question made Bao Yan feel a little sad, her new Reuters should be sad, right? But she didn't show the slightest sadness, but said this with a little smile on her face.
is so forbearant and hypocritical, it doesn't seem like the Sister Ruoxi who seemed to know him in the past and laughed together in the kitchen.
Hu Pin's cold sweat was like rain, he knew that he had asked something that he shouldn't ask, so he became more cautious, hesitated for a long time, and then said, "The princess is out of the wedding banquet, and it is appropriate to have peonies, peonies, golden silk cups, phoenix kites and other festive flowers." ”
"Peony has always been a symbol of the emperor's family, and I probably can't line up with peony at my age, and I have never seen those two kinds of flowers in this palace." Ruoxi smiled, and held up a hand to stroke his forehead back and forth, "It's better to use lilies." ”
"With plum red lilies, the flowers should be juxtaposed, do you understand?" Ruoxi looked at Bao Yan, but the words were indeed said to Hu Pin.
Hu Pin hurriedly carved a head, "Yes, the little one understands." ”
Ruoxi tossed for a long time, felt a little tired, beckoned, and let Baoyan lead Hu Pin down first.
Xiaoxiao watched them walk away, and then asked incomprehensibly, "How beautiful is the peony flower, isn't it much stronger than the lily?" ”
Ruoxi hooked the corners of her lips, smiled at her look, and then asked, "Princess, do you want to ...... Do you want to wish that princess of strings and Her Royal Highness a hundred years of happiness? ”
"That's right." Ruoxi nodded with a smile and put down the tea cup in his hand, "In the eyes of an open-minded person, my clothes are to bless the newcomer for a hundred years, but in the eyes of people with ulterior motives, I am doing this is nothing more than declaring war on the princess of strings, showing that I am the only one who can be on good terms with His Highness for a hundred years." The key depends on what the princess and the people around her think. ”
After Ruoxi's words were finished, the tea in the teacup had already bottomed out, and she put the cup on the table, "Your Highness will come back later, you go and invite the white housekeeper first." Let him also make his clothes. ”
Xiaoxiao sighed, "Princess, you are really a good person. ”
The effort was not big, Ruoxi saw Bai Jiang dressed in white, he hadn't come to visit her for a long time, and he didn't bring out any strange looks when he came today, honestly, and gave Ruoxi a great gift to the monarch and ministers, "Bai Jiang meets the princess." ”
"It's the side princess." Ruoxi said with a smile, "Butler Bai, please get up." Bai Jiang stood up, and Ruoxi smiled at him again and said, "Go and ask Hu Pin to also measure your clothes for you, as well as Baoyan's, and by the way, together with Ning Xiang." You go first, or the tailor will be gone in a moment. With a smile and a happy sigh, he ran out, and when he went out, he called Baoyan on a chatter. Both of them walked away with a smile and a smile.
In the hall, there are only two left, Baijiang and Ruoxi.
Bai Jiang looked at Ruoxi for a while and laughed, folded his arms and put them on his chest, "Hey, I said, you princess really made a good job." ”
Ruoxi hooked her lips and smiled, and she shrugged her shoulders helplessly, "No way, I've been wearing this mask for a long time, and I really can't take it off." ”
Bai Jiang narrowed his eyes, "Then you plan to wear it all the time?" ”
"I called you here to help me. Help me take it off. Ruoxi raised his eyes to look at him, his expression was very solemn.
Bai Jiang was aroused and asked, "How are you going to pick it?" ”
"On the eighth day of the first month, it is the wedding day of Wei Sa and the moon of the quarter, that day is full of guests and friends, and the Hall of Forgotten Souls may be very lively or, chaotic, you should be in charge of the sentry and the arrangement of the changing of the guard at that time, right? Find a suitable time, and I'll sneak out of the Hall of Forgotten Souls. ”
"And then?" Bai Jiang asked again.
"And then? Escaping this palace is just the first step, right? If you're gone, Wei Sa will definitely go crazy looking for your whereabouts, where can you hide? Bai Jiang frowned and said.
"One step, one step, no break, no stand, if I stay like this any longer, either I'll go crazy, or I'll not be myself anymore. will be completely willing to be this side princess and this Bai Ruoxi. There was undeniable firmness and courage in Ruoxi's tone. Shirae, human inertia is a terrible thing, and if I really get used to it, then what Shirakawa wants to do will never be done again. It's not that I'm overestimating myself, but if I'm here, if he wants to bring down the Great Qi Kingdom, it will take a little more effort and more consideration. ”
Bai Jiang changed his posture and leaned against the pillar, saying, "Bai Chuan is not going to rely on a girl's sacrifice to make it happen. ”
"Yes, Shirakawa really doesn't need it, I know, even if there is no chess piece with me, Shirakawa and you can always get things done." Ruoxi seemed to say this sentence intentionally and seemingly unintentionally, which made Bai Jiang a little stunned. But it wasn't time for him to savor it.
Ruoxi then went on to say her plan.
"But, Bai Jiang, I am also a woman after all, and at this time, it is inevitable to be jealous and angry, so I want to do one thing with both public and private. And guess what? ”
When she said this, her tone unconsciously became ruthless.
"You're not going to be playing the String Moon's idea, are you?"
"That's right, it's indeed the Quarter Moon." Ruoxi laughed softly and wiped the tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, and her smiling expression still stayed on her face, making her look very sad, "Since I can't get someone, I just let go of it and give it to her to enjoy alone, I always feel a little uncomfortable in my heart." Ruoxi stroked her chest and said softly.
"Then what do you want me to do for you."
"It's very simple, prepare a packet of poison for me to seal my throat with blood." Ruoxi said in a deep voice, with that smile on her face.
Bai Jiang looked cold in his heart, "Do you want to poison Princess Xianyue?" ”
