Tianxi Dynasty, Yikang twenty-three years.

The sky over the bustling capital is gray and foggy, and the air is shallow haze, damp and cold. Soon after the heavy rain stopped, there was no rainbow that rained on the sunny sky, but the sky was dark.

Although the heavens are not beautiful, today is an auspicious day for the prince Yu Wenye to marry the crown princess, and the whole world celebrates. The people on the street talked about it, and the daughter-in-law chosen by the queen was naturally excellent, and the prospective princess was the daughter of the princess.

The noisy drum music is accompanied by the red silk in the sky, blowing and beating all the way, so lively.

Riding a very powerful horse under the crotch, although the extremely handsome young man was wearing a red Suzhou embroidered silver python suit, there was no joy on his face. The black hair and green silk are tied up by a purple and gold crown inlaid with bright pearls, and the jade belt is wrapped around the waist like a pine. Needless to say, this person is Yu Wenye, the prince of the East Palace, today's groom official.

Several noble sons of the clan who accompanied them to welcome their relatives rode horses and surrounded Yu Wenye, and it was difficult for the people watching the ceremony along the way to jump over the crowd to see the demeanor of the prince, and they only felt that the momentum was overwhelming. In fact, Yu Wenye was born handsome, his face was fair, his eyebrows were long, his eyes were like a pool, the bridge of his nose was straight, and his thin red lips seemed to be smiling.

In this life, he vowed to find a woman with similar interests, similar temperaments, and a good heart to become the mistress of the East Palace, but unfortunately he has passed the age of the weak crown and has not yet found true love. Most of the royal children married early, and it was not easy for him to delay until today to get married. The emperor has always loved his only son-in-law, and allowed him to be at ease for a few more years, but now he can't let him continue to mess around. The royal heirs should flourish, and the prince is empty under his knees if he does not marry for a long time, how to stabilize the people's hearts in the future? So he made an order to force him to marry the daughter of Taifu Ye Shiying as his wife, but Yu Wenye did not dare to resist the decree, so he had no choice but to comply.

Let's say that Yu Wenye's father-in-law is also half his master. When the imperial prince Ye Hong was a rare and valuable stream, he was once the youngest champion of the palace test in the Tianxi Dynasty. Ten years ago, he was appointed by the emperor as the post of Taifu, and was responsible for teaching the princes in the palace to learn literature and strategy. Now Ye Hong is nearly half a hundred years old, and he has three sons and one daughter under his knees, and the three sons are all concubines, fortunately, each has his own strengths. Only the daughter Ye Shiying is a concubine, and her mother Li Zhi is the most noble lady from the Rongguo Mansion, thinking that Li Zhi's boudoir was recruiting relatives to try all over the world, she dominated the world for a whole month, and finally lost in the hands of the new champion Lang Ye Hong, and she secretly fell in love with her from afar above the boudoir. After that, they naturally became husband and wife, and after more than 20 years of marriage, their husband and wife and Shunju case were eyebrows, which was a good story in Beijing. If there is a fly in the ointment, it is that Li Zhi was injured in childbirth and only had one daughter.

Ye Shiying, who has been loved by thousands of people, has been talented and intelligent since she was a child, especially with outstanding reading talent. At the age of two, he began to read and write, at the age of four he could memorize poems, at the age of six he practiced singing and dancing, and at the age of eight he practiced piano and chess. It is even more gratifying that she was born as beautiful as a fairy, and when she went to the New Year's Palace to hold a feast of flowers, Ye Shiying was praised by the Queen Mother Chrysostom as "the first beauty in the capital". has all the above premises, so when the emperor gives the holy decree, the civil and military officials have nothing to criticize but envy.

The silk umbrella cover complements each other, and behind the long guard of honor is a sedan chair made of gold and jade as the skeleton and silkworm yarn. The sedan chair was dazzling and luxurious. I heard that this Luanfeng sedan chair was given by Queen Tong, and according to the regulations, it is second only to her own Jiufeng sedan chair, which shows how much she loves her daughter-in-law.

In order to make his beloved daughter extremely glorious, Ye Hong Taifu changed his previous introverted and low-key style in the court, and made generous dowries for his beloved daughter that stretched for hundreds of miles, from Taifu's mansion to the East Palace.

As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, according to the ancestral system of the Tianxi Dynasty, the Dongnuan Pavilion in the backyard of the East Palace is the bedroom of the princesses of the past dynasties. The East Palace is not only the place where the princes of the past dynasties lived, but it is also an unavoidable drunken gold fan, and the pavilions and pavilions should all be carved beams and paintings.

The maids carefully supported the bride to get off the Luanfeng sedan chair, and under the guidance of the two East Palace grandmothers, the maids hugged Ye Shiying and moved to the main hall.

Outside the hall, civil and military officials vied with each other to congratulate the prince.

The bride stayed in the hall for a long time, and Yu Wenye was late. According to the rules, she quickly worshipped the church, and Ye Shiying was sent to the Dongnuan Pavilion by her grandmother.

Before stepping into the Dongnuan Pavilion, I only heard a grandmother open her mouth to flatter: "Soon after Your Majesty gave the marriage, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally nominated the Dongnuan Pavilion as Qiushui Pavilion, which shows that His Royal Highness is very attentive to the Crown Princess." ”

With a red embroidered phoenix hijab on her head to cover her vision, Ye Shiying couldn't see everything in the dormitory, she could only see the long tassels hanging down from the golden steps of the nine phoenixes on her temples and the gorgeous Luan Feng robe on her body. When she heard the words Qiushui Pavilion just now, she already felt a chill in her heart.

Autumn water, is it the meaning of telling her to look through the autumn water? Little did she know that this would be the place where she would spend a long part of her life, lonely and desolate.

Unlike the elegant and exquisite boudoir when she Ye Shiying was in the boudoir, the bedrooms of the princesses of the past dynasties were extremely luxurious. The fine silk veils are fragrant, the furnishings are priceless treasures, and the incense burners on the sides of the case are filled with precious ambergris. Dragon and phoenix candles were burning everywhere in the house, and the flaming red candles were burning vigorously. On the mahogany round table, there is an exquisite wedding banquet, and it is indispensable to drink wine and dumplings.

The wind blew in, the red yarn flew and was clear and soft, and the bright moonlight penetrated into the screen window, with a bit of bleakness that should not have been.

I don't know how long I waited, Qing'er, the maid of the East Palace, suddenly came in and said, "Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is drunk today, and he is currently resting in the study. Please rest early, too. ”

Hearing this, Ye Shiying lifted her dazzling red hijab by herself, and her beautiful face was amazing.

"Miss, this ......" Haoyue, the maid next to her, bit her lip and looked at Ye Shiying.

Ye Shiying lowered her eyes and was silent, and said after a long time: "I'm tired today, you can change my clothes for me." ”

Remove the tired makeup, wash off the lead on the face, and the face in the bronze mirror is a little pale. This is a beautiful melon seed face, the willow eyebrows are curved and seem to be melancholy, the eyes are clear like a wave of autumn, and the nose is delicate and the small mouth is cherry red. She looks so weak and yet so dusty that it makes people forget it.

retired from a group of maids, leaving only her dowry maid Haoyue to accompany her. I saw the beautiful and lovely Haoyue speak comfortingly: "Miss, it's not early, you should sleep after being tired all day." ”

Ye Shiying was noncommittal, silently lowered her eyelashes as fine as feathers, and suddenly said: "You are not allowed to leak the news of tonight's affairs, if it spreads, it will only make my father lose face." ”

Haoyue nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, Miss, the slave understands." ”

Even if Ye Shiying doesn't tell her, Haoyue won't talk about tonight. After all, this is not a glorious thing, if the world knows that the crown prince did not spend candles in the cave room with the crown princess on the wedding night, I am afraid that Ye Shiying's life will be even more difficult in the future.

Putting down the red bed curtain, Ye Shiying quietly opened her eyes, and the tears that had been accumulated for a long time finally couldn't help but overflow from her bright eyes. She is a dignified young lady, who has been regarded as the pearl of her parents since she was a child, how could she have suffered such humiliation? It's a pity that this time is different from the past, she can only endure silently, who called her just a victim of this political marriage.
