Chapter 5 Ten Thousand Gates in the Red Wall Palace

The sky was slightly bright, and a few sparrows were already chirping in the branches. As soon as the eastern sky peeked out of some fish belly white, the cold moon had already risen. According to the regulations of the ancestral system, the princess and his wife will enter the palace early in the morning on the second day after their wedding.

Although she was married to a wife, the moment she saw Nangong Jing in the morning, Han Yue's face was still red. With the throbbing in her heart, Han Yue served Nangong Jing to get up, and the two simply had some breakfast and went to the palace.

Nangong Jing wore a dark four-clawed python robe, tied with a jade brocade belt, with a white jade tail dragon jade pendant around his waist, and a long hair like ink tied with a gold crown embedded with East Pearls, the whole person exuded the spirit of a king, dazzling so that people could not look directly.

Hanyue is dressed in a red lily color butterfly feather satin placket dress, combing a Ruyi high mustache bun, a hairpin with gold silk and eight treasures to save beads, peony agate Huasheng is inserted in the bun, wearing garnet hibiscus earrings, bright eyes, red lips and teeth, dignified and generous, but not too bright and flamboyant.

In a blink of an eye, the two of them took the carriage to the door of Suzaku.

The Imperial Castle is located in the middle of Kyoto, and the palace is divided into the outer court and the inner court, the outer court and the inner court are bounded by the Suzaku Gate, the south of the Suzaku Gate is the outer court, and the north is the inner court.

The outer dynasty is centered on the three major halls of Hanyuan Palace, Xuanzheng Hall and Zichen Palace, and is located in the central axis of the entire palace. In addition, the two wings have Penglai Palace, Hanliang Palace, Xuanwu Palace, Wenhua Palace, Wenyuan Pavilion, Wuying Palace, etc.

After entering the Suzaku Gate, there is a long eternal alley, and the two towering bluestone palace walls give people a sense of majestic oppression, and Hanyue walks on the road, and can't help but feel small. After passing through several palaces, in front of you is the Fengluan Palace, where the queen lives.

Fengluan Palace takes the fragrant and precious magnolia as the rafters, the elegant texture of apricot wood is used as the beams and columns, the roof rafters are covered with gold leaf, and the door is engraved with the golden Luan phoenix pattern and embedded with jade ornaments.

Under the guidance of the chief's chamberlain, Han Yue and Nangong Jing entered the Fengluan Palace. In the main hall, the emperor and the empress sit at the top.

The emperor was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, sitting in a precarious position, majestic, but the temples were slightly gray, and the slight wrinkles at the corners of his eyes also revealed the fatigue of the emperor, but these could not resist the emperor's handsomeness and innate imperial spirit, it can be imagined how handsome the emperor was when he was young.

On the right side of the emperor sits the queen, the queen wears a yellow phoenix peony hanging shoulder cardigan, wears a swallow crown, the crown is covered with soap-colored crepe, and the left and right sides are decorated with a golden phoenix, and there are pearl drops made of pearls and gemstones in the mouth. Suffix peony flower, and the two sides are decorated with beaded green flower sideburns. A pair of golden phoenix hairpins are inserted on the top of the bun, and the phoenix mouth is tied with a string of bead knots made of east beads, and there are six sideburns wearing, three on the left and right, and the upper decoration is Luan Feng and Jin Baodian. The whole person looks graceful and luxurious, magnificent and unparalleled.

Nangong Jing is the son of Empress Zhenggong and the eldest son.

Today, the saint Nangong Tian has a total of five sons and five daughters, the eldest princess Nangong Luo, who was born by Concubine Mu De. The second princess Nangong Shan and the fourth prince Nangong Jing were born by Empress Zheng. The third princess, Nangong Yue, was born by Liu Jieyu. The fifth prince, Nangong Heng, was born by the late Jing Xiu Rong and was later raised by Concubine Ning Xian. The sixth princess Nangong Zhen, born by Li Cairen. The seventh prince Nangong Xuan, from Zhaoyuan. The eighth prince Nangong Yu and the ninth princess Nangong Jue are twin sons, born by Concubine Yan Shu. The tenth prince Nangong Xuan, was born by Shen Zhaoyi.

Among them, the eldest princess, the second princess, and the third princess have all been married, and the sixth princess and the ninth princess are still being raised in the palace. The fourth prince Nangong Jing was canonized as King Jing, the fifth prince Nangong Heng was canonized as King Cheng, and the seventh prince Nangong Xuan was canonized as King Xuan, and all three of them had independent mansions outside the imperial city. Nangong Yu, the eighth prince, and Nangong Xuan, the tenth prince, are still living in the palace because they are still young and have not been canonized.

"The sons and daughters knocked on their fathers and mothers. I wish my father and mother a long and happy future. Nangong Jing knelt down with Han Yue and saluted. The prince knelt three times and bowed nine times according to the ceremony, and the princess knelt three times and bowed three times according to the ceremony.

"Okay, well, hurry up, don't be polite." The emperor smiled at the newlywed couple and said kindly. After that, he warmed up for a while, gossiped a little, and rewarded them with something, and let them go back.

This is the first time Han Yue has entered the palace, and it is also the first time to see the emperor and empress, and the already extremely nervous in his heart, coupled with the sense of oppression from the majestic and huge momentum in the palace, Han Yue is almost out of breath. Walking out of Fengluan Palace, Han Yue stopped, raised his eyes to look at the blue sky above his head, and exhaled a long and deep breath.

Nangong Jing turned his head and looked at Han Yue with a gentle expression: "I tired you just now." ”

Han Yue's face was slightly pale, she shook her head, and smiled: "It's not that tired, it's just that the first time I entered the palace to meet the emperor and the queen, I was inevitably nervous, and I was really afraid that I would say or do something wrong." Thankfully, I survived. ”

"Let's go, I'll take you to the Taiye Pool to relax." Nangong Jing said, taking Han Yue's hand and walking forward.

"Hmm." The cold moon is powdery, and he smiles brightly.

The palace is full of halls, five steps on the first floor, ten steps on the first floor, ten steps on the pavilion, the corridor waist is back, the eaves are high and pecked, each hugging the terrain, hooking and fighting. The long bridge lies on the waves, the road is empty, the high and low are confused, and I don't know the west and the east. Han Yue followed Nangong Jing around and around, and she felt like she was about to faint.

"Fourth brother." Two man's voices came from behind him.

"Fifth brother, seventh brother." Nangong Jing stopped, turned around, and greeted them.

Han Yue also turned around, and the two men in front of her made her eyes shine, both of them have their own strengths, but they can be described as dragons and phoenixes among people.

One person is dressed in a dark blue wide-sleeved moire brocade robe, the hem cuffs are embroidered with gold thread and rhomboid, the three thousand hairs are pulled up at will with a mutton fat jade hairpin, the face is clearly contoured, as finely carved as a knife, the slanted eyebrows are into the sideburns, a pair of red phoenix eyes, thin lips with a dizzying smile, with a little bewitching handsomeness, but it will not make people feel that he looks like a woman.

The other person was wearing a cyan shirt, the cuffs were embroidered with autumn fragrant silk threads, the bottom of the shirt was embroidered with a few green bamboos with silver silk threads, and the hair was tied with a January white back stripe hairband, with sparse eyebrows, a soft face, and a gentle smile on the side of his mouth.

"Yue'er, this is my fifth brother Nangong Heng, and this is the seventh brother Nangong Xuan." Nangong Jing successively pointed to the two of them in blue and green and introduced.

"Cheng Wang, Xuan Wang." Hanyue saluted the two.

"I've seen the fourth sister-in-law, but I can't imagine that the fourth sister-in-law is such a beautiful and refined beauty, the fourth brother is really a blessing." Nangong Heng smiled uninhibitedly, staring at Han Yue and quipping.

Han Yue's face was thin-skinned, and when he teased her, her cheeks, which were as pure as white porcelain, were instantly dyed with two red clouds.

"Fifth brother, you are really getting more and more unruly, even your fourth sister-in-law dares to joke, I should let Concubine Xian teach you a good lesson." Nangong Jing pretended to be angry and reprimanded Nangong Heng.

"Don't dare, don't dare, my brother still has something to do, so I'll go first." Nangong Heng slipped away in an instant.

Nangong Xuan kept smiling and watching from the side, and did not say a word, silently accompanying, and said at this moment: "Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law, my brother has also retired first, and I still have to go to see my mother." ”

"Okay, let's go." Nangong Jing replied.

Nangong Xuan bowed his hand and saluted, and then left.

It's really a dragon giving birth to nine sons, each with its own differences. Just look at the two brothers with very different personalities in front of you. Hanyue couldn't help but laugh as he looked at their departing backs.
