Chapter 13: Candles in the Cave Room
Yan Yue's mood was excited, the beautiful scenery in the carriage was still in front of her, the heat on her face, the temperature on her body had not yet faded, and Murong Yan also dropped a sentence after entering the palace: "Stay in the palace and wait for me, don't run around." Yan Yue had to think about it, her face blushed and her heart beat for a while, her mind didn't belong, and she didn't even know how to return to Birong Xuan. Then there is the non-local supper of the mind, and the non-local bathing of the mind...... The ginger is still old and spicy, and when Mama Zhuang saw Yan Yue like this, she guessed that the emperor would come in the evening. immediately ordered Chunhua Qiuyue and other girls to prepare exactly as last night.
Mama Zhuang personally picked out a set of pink skirts from the skirts sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, with green embroidered Yan Shuangfei's belly pocket, and then asked the girls to prepare all the cosmetics and jewelry. The bed was also re-changed with sheets and bedding, and there was a faint incense in front of the bed, in front of the window, and on the table.
Yan Yue let them go to Luo, but somehow her heart was sour. After tonight, she will become a veritable woman of Murong Yan. Can you just have the happiness you dream of? Will he, Murong Yan, like himself, only think about a couple for the rest of his life? Yan Yue suddenly only felt sad. If in the previous life, the family would have held their wedding lively, and the night of candles in the cave house would not be as good as tonight, and even the groom would not know the preciousness and beauty of tonight.
"Mama Zhuang, is your emperor's wedding like this?" Yan Yue asked gloomily.
Mama Zhuang was serious and talked about the etiquette of the emperor's wedding from beginning to end. What prenuptial rites have Nacai, the Great Expedition; The wedding ceremony is canonized, welcomed, combined, and sacrificed to the gods; After the wedding, there are temple meetings, court meetings, celebrations, edicts, banquets, etc., and Yan Yue is dumbfounded when she hears it. Yan Yue suddenly understood the difference between this concubine and the queen, the queen is equivalent to a genuine wife, and there will be no less than three books and six ceremonies. And the concubine is like a junior, and if she can be favored, she has given a big face. And his current role is equivalent to the junior in the 21st century.
This feeling made Yan Yue's heart panic. Yan Yue also suddenly thought of an important issue, from thinking about escaping from feelings to thinking about fighting for monogamy, it was just Yan Yue's wishful thinking. What Murong Yan thought, Yan Yue had never thought about it, nor had he communicated.
"Mother, let's change your clothes. The emperor should be coming soon! Mama Zhuang urged, not understanding why Niangniang was always stunned on such an important day.
Yan Yue almost numbly let them dress up, but there was an indescribable unwillingness in her heart. My wedding night shouldn't be like this, there is no wedding, no wedding dress, and no trouble, Yan Yue doesn't want such an important day to spend so ordinarily, even if there is a trace of embellishment, she can't defend it.
"Mama Zhuang, call them all, I have something important to explain." Yan Yue ordered excitedly. Mama Zhuang didn't know what important things this lady had, so she immediately summoned all the minions of Birong Xuan in a hurry.
"The two of you are responsible for cutting and pasting the happy words, you are responsible for taking two red candles, you are responsible for finding some peanuts and red dates, and you are responsible for ........." Yan Yue explained little by little, Mama Zhuang didn't expect her master to come up with so many tricks for a while, everything did not conform to the palace rules, and it was too late to stop it, but fortunately, Mama Zhuang quickly released the silk, and her master was not a person who abided by the rules.
But Mama Zhuang's surprise was still to come, and when everyone retreated to prepare according to the master's instructions, Yan Yue explained in detail what Mama Zhuang was going to do. Only then did Mama Zhuang know that if she said that she was playing tricks, what Niangniang asked others to do just now was not a trick, and the real tricks were on Mama Zhuang. The position that Yan Yue arranged for Mama Zhuang is somewhat similar to the modern emcee and the ancient bride, but the specific work tasks are a combination of ancient and modern. Imagine that Mama Zhuang has lived in the underground palace for decades, and suddenly asked her to do such a bizarre thing, and after hearing it, Mama Mo disagreed.
Yan Yue is wilting now, if Mama Zhuang is unwilling to cooperate with her plan, then what is the meaning of her own design, not to mention that this time is urgent, where can I find a more suitable candidate! After thinking about it again and again, Yan Yue decided to strengthen the persecution with affection: "Mama Zhuang, in this Birong Xuan, this palace has always regarded Mama as a relative, because only Mama can take care of Mama in life, today is the most important day in the life of Mama, don't you want to do something for Mama to bless this palace?" Or Mama Zhuang didn't regard the palace as the master, so she ignored the palace's orders........."
Yan Yue didn't even know how long Yan Yue had spoken. Anyway, in the end, Mama Zhuang was speechless and messy, and in the end, Mama Zhuang herself somehow agreed to Yan Yue's request.
The red candle in Birong Xuan was burning, and Yan Yue waited nervously! Now everything is ready, only Murong Yan is missing!
Murong Yan's mood tonight was even more excited, of course, not because he wanted to spoil women, but after returning to the palace, Murong Yan saw the Queen Mother who had a nightmare last night. For the sake of her son's safety, this lady had completely agreed to Murong Yan's request. So Murong Yan urgently summoned several important ministers such as Vice Minister Rong Taifu, General Sikong, Wan Shangshu, etc., and told the Empress Dowager about concealing the emperor's holy decree. The ministers were indignant and agreed on the posthumous title of the emperor's biological mother, Concubine Liang and the relocation of the tomb, so Murong Yan came too late.
Of course, only Murong Yan, Yan Yue and the parties knew about making false holy decrees and coercing the Queen Mother to lie, and no one else could know about it at all. Murong Yan couldn't have imagined that it would be easy to solve the matter for his own year in the hands of Yan Yue. This made Murong Yan feel that this Yan Yue was his lucky star again.
……………………………
"Wear a red belt and be happy forever." The palace maid who knelt at the gate of Birong Xuan and took over the car, muttered in a trembling voice, and the red silk raised above her head also trembled like the long sleeves on the stage. It's a pity that Murong Yan didn't hear what the little palace maid was saying at all, and even ignored the red silk held by the little palace maid, and strode directly towards the courtyard.
"Crossing the red brazier, the days are prosperous!" The palace maid in front of the kneeling hall witnessed the failure of the previous one, and her courage became even smaller, and her voice was almost inaudible. This time, Murong Yan's brows were obviously furrowed, staring at the burning brazier, and he stepped over the brazier after enduring. And when Murong Yan's figure entered the hall, Yuzhu, who witnessed this situation, jumped up excitedly.
Xiao Lizi stared at the brazier strangely, and then stared at the red silk in the hand of the palace maid carving the railing, and curiously pulled the jade brick aside and asked carefully. Only then did I know that all this was Shuyuan Niangniang's idea, this time, Xiao Li Zi was curious about what Shuyuan Niangniang would imagine in the inner hall, several people looked at each other, and actually walked towards the hall with gentle steps.
"Pick up the red hijab and make it a pair to permanently." Mama Zhuang said loudly to Murong Yan who entered the inner hall, I have to say that among this group of palace people, this old mother is still imposing, at least others can hear what she says.
Murong Yan's brows furrowed again, and then he knew that all this was Yan Yue's idea. Looking at it four times, I saw that the word "Xi" was pasted on the table, cabinet, and wall in the hall, and two red candles were burning on the cabinet in front of the bed, and a woman sitting on the top of her head on the bed must be Yan Yue. Looking at this momentum, it looks like ordinary people getting married, but when people get married, women cross the brazier, she is good, and she made a brazier for herself to cross! Murong Yan's original joyful mood was a little blocked by this arrangement, and he immediately sat down on the side and said, "Don't make trouble, open it yourself." ”
Yan Yue, who was hiding under the hijab, had been looking forward to the moment when he picked up the hijab. Suddenly hearing his disappointing words, I couldn't help but feel a little lost, and immediately coughed a few times. This is the code that Yan Yue discussed with Mama Zhuang in advance. When Mama Zhuang heard this, she immediately handed the scale hook to the emperor, and said with a smile: "Shuyuan Niangniang deliberately dressed up today, I want to surprise the emperor, and ask the emperor to fulfill Shuyuan Niangniang's hard work." ”
Mama Zhuang temporarily changed her words, and according to Yan Yue's instructions, she still had to say, "Pick up the red hijab and make it a pair forever." Mama Zhuang felt that saying that Shuyuan Niangniang deliberately dressed up at this time would move Murong Yan's heart even more. Sure enough, Murong Yan's eyes showed a little interest, and then looked at Mama Zhuang who was looking forward to it and Yan Yue, who was waiting seriously, and finally took the scale hook and stood up and came to Yan Yue, and quickly picked up the red hijab.
But this time, Yan Yue really gave Murong Yan a surprise, the little woman under the hijab had eyes like autumn water, eyebrows like distant mountains, and Qiong's nose and cherry lips. The moment the hijab was lifted, her clear eyes were overflowing with brilliance, bursting with deep joy, and her little face seemed to shine. It's a little more charming and enchanting than in the past, so he can't get enough of it. Murong Yan's gaze didn't move for a long time, and he never knew that this ugly girl was also so beautiful. It seems that she is often plain and unadorned, and there is a prominent birthmark on her small face, so she ignored her facial features and turned out to be so beautiful.
Of course, Yan Yue didn't ignore the look of surprise in Murong Yan's eyes. Only today did Yan Yue know that she was beautiful, and the beauty of the past was taken away by the birthmark on her face. Today, under the cover of several layers of powder in spring flowers and autumn moon, the birthmark is almost invisible, and the amazing facial features can be revealed. And Murong Yan was so handsome, chic, and charming whenever and wherever he was, Yan Yue couldn't help but smile happily as she stared at him.
"Hand in hand, elbow to elbow, drink the wine. The bridegroom drank this glass of wine, and he could accompany his wife to the white head, and the bride drank this cup of wine, and could accompany her husband to spend the spring and autumn. Mama Zhuang lowered her head and muttered, her eyes not daring to look at Murong Yan. Chunhua had already held the tray in front of the two. This link Yan Yue originally wanted to use the modern form of handing over a glass of wine. But Zhuang Mama said that the scoop must be used, because the utensils used in the wine are to cut a gourd into two scoops, and then connect the handle with a thread, and a couple of newlyweds each take a scoop to drink, and drink together, symbolizing that the husband and wife will become one from now on, which means that the husband and wife will share weal and woe together. Yan Yuesi thought that Mama Zhuang was more reasonable, so she adopted Mama Zhuang's suggestion.
Yan Yue took the lead in picking up a scoop of wine and drank it all. It wasn't until after drinking that he found that Murong Yan hadn't moved, and he said with a smile: "Shuyuan Niangniang, what else do you have to do next?" Yan Yue's smile condensed to his lips like that, and at this time, he realized that Murong Yan's face was very wrong, and there was also a feeling of rejection in his eyes.
"Mama Zhuang? You tell me. Murong Yan's voice became cold.
"Next, there are concentric knots, eating apples, and making trouble...... "Mama Zhuang replied with a trembling voice, but she couldn't help but feel lost in her heart. Although she knew that it was not in accordance with the rules with her own master, Mama Zhuang had always had an expectation, expecting the emperor to be different from her master, but it turned out that the emperor was angry and angry!
"Yan Yue, my combined wine can only be drunk with the future queen, Yan Yue, be careful that thinking too much will cost your life." After Murong Yan finished speaking coldly, he no longer looked at Yan Yue, and turned around and walked out of the inner hall.
Leaving Yan Yue standing in the hall in a daze, staring at the red hijab thrown on the table, staring at the burning red candle, and then looking at the wedding clothes on her body, she suddenly burst out laughing, just laughing and laughing, and the tears in her eyes finally flowed out.
