Chapter 1 The Bride

The bright red curtain was covered sullenly, and through the faint sunlight, it seemed that the auspicious embroidery of the dragon and phoenix could be seen on it.

As soon as the people around him got out of bed, Pei Yaowei opened his eyes, his eyes tired and clear.

Xiao Di put on his coat, the back of his head seemed to have eyes, and he asked suddenly: "Haven't slept all night?" ”

The voice was low, with a little haze of awakening.

Pei Yaowei was startled, the sleepiness that had accumulated all night was suddenly gone, she half stood up, looked at him and said, "Disturb Your Highness." ”

If he was so polite and careful, Xiao Di just wanted to laugh when he heard it.

"After breakfast, I will go into the palace to greet the queen mother." He turned his head and pulled her into the afterglow, and asked softly, "Can you hold it?" ”

Pei Yaowei lowered his head, skimmed his erect back out of his eyes, and said softly: "Yes, Your Highness, rest assured, the concubine will not embarrass you." ”

Xiao Di didn't say anything more, took a dagger from the side, and walked towards her.

Pei Yao's heart tightened, and she didn't react to what he was going to do for a while, as he approached more and more, she involuntarily moved into the bed, "Your Highness......"

Xiao Di stood still beside the bed, stared at her for a long time, and suddenly leaned over and lifted the Baizi quilt she wrapped around her body.

This time it was too fast, and the strength was great, and it was turned over along with the brocade quilt, as well as her bright red undershirt.

Pei Yao was stunned, came back to her senses, and two balls of red instantly rose on her face, and at this moment, she didn't care if Xiao Di was going to stab herself, so she hurriedly lowered her head to tidy up her clothes.

Xiao Di calmly took his eyes off her snow-white skin, but the tips of her ears silently crept up a little red.

He found the white heepa, pulled out the dagger and cut his wrist, dripping a few bits of blood.

The blood smeared on the plain white, like a flower in full bloom.

Pei Yaoyan's face became more and more pale.

Xiao Di put away the dagger, and then stroked his palm and summoned the maid to serve inside.

When sitting in front of the mirror to make up, Qingchen looked at her flushed face, and while giving her hairpins, she joked softly: "Girl-slave is speechless, now she is the princess!" The princess's face is so ruddy and radiant, it seems that there is no need for Fu Rouge! ”

After the incident of Yu Zhi, Pei Yaowei promoted Su Qingchen, who had saved her earlier, to her side, and this time she brought it with Yu Xu and Mirror Shadow, and became a dowry maid. Although this girl has only been close to her for less than two days, she talks and does things with a sense of familiarity, and she is not annoying except for being clever.

Pei Yaowei glanced at her through the mirror, but she didn't notice it herself, at this moment she was flushed, like a red plum in the snow, a pair of peach blossom eyes were smart, just looking at her with some strange emotions, it was like the fairy in the painting was contaminated with popularity and came to life, stirring the room full of Fangfei.

Qingchen was thinking that this glance should be seen by His Highness, and a deliberate cough came from behind him. The master and servant were stunned, looked behind them, and saw that His Royal Highness the King of Chu had already put on his clothes and stood there silently.

Huayan Yushu, independent as a heavenly man.

Pei Yaowei hurriedly got up, "Your Highness, wait for a while, and the concubine will speak." ”

Xiao Di looked at her quietly for a moment, and then said, "Don't use peony, the queen mother doesn't like it." ”

Hearing this, Qingchen said yes again and again, and went to get a branch of evening tea for her to change.

During breakfast, the hall was so silent that there was almost no sound, Pei Yaowei secretly looked at him from time to time, only to feel that Xiao Di's change was really great.

Many years ago, the crown prince was famous for his recklessness and acquaintances all over the world. The ridiculous things he has done, among all the princes and grandsons, perhaps only the Marquis of Lingqiu back then can be compared. When the first emperor abolished the crown prince, he said 'no rule and inspection', I don't know how many people thought it was true.

But now the person in front of her can keep the sentence 'eat without speaking, sleep without speaking', and before she arrives, the whole person is lifeless, more like a dying person than Chaorong.

Perhaps, he has never changed, but he has never really known him?

Still, because Pan Tian ......

"Full?"

Xiao Di indulged her gaze and glanced at herself, until this moment, seeing that she slowly dropped her chopsticks for some reason, she asked out loud.

I didn't eat enough, but I couldn't eat it.

Pei Yao simply put down her chopsticks, and her attitude was not too good.

Xiao Di raised his eyebrows.

Before long, the two of them went out of the house and entered the palace, all the way to the front of Heshou Palace, Aunt Song was there early in the morning, and greeted her with a happy face, calling 'Your Highness' and 'Princess'.

"Auntie doesn't have to be polite." Xiao Di said that he was about to enter the door, but was stopped by Aunt Song.

"Your Royal Highness," Aunt Song glanced at the palace room with an unkind look and reminded, "The one from Jingci Palace came early in the morning, and he was in it with his mother." ”

Is Empress Dowager Liang also here? Pei Yao's heart moved, but a light smile slowly appeared on her lips.

It's just right, so I don't have to make a special trip later.

In the main hall, the two palaces sit side by side, with the queen mother as the honor, and the mother as the second. The two of them made a big salute according to etiquette, and the Empress Dowager Li was happy, even if the old enemy was in the way, she was also happy.

"Okay, calm down!"

Empress Dowager Liang rarely held a smile, "My sister is really a blessing, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, although the concubine married late, but she waited for such a lovely person, compared to those messy people in the emperor's harem, and the one he set up earlier - cough, don't mention it!" So as not to spoil the fun. After all, the king of Chu is lucky! ”

Pei Yao said in her heart, mention it, why don't you mention it? If you have the ability to start this, you must also have the ability to tell the whole story!

She was thinking about it, but she heard Empress Dowager Li laugh and said: "Sister said that she was joking, the daughter-in-law of the mourning family is good, but she doesn't dare to compare with Empress Renyi, if there is no first empress Dade, I am afraid that the emperor will ......"

Nor is it today's emperor.

Empress Dowager Li gave a look full of meaning, hid her words, and only smiled.

is also a desire to talk, Empress Dowager Li can accept Empress Dowager Liang's words, but Empress Dowager Liang faced her like this, but she did not grit her teeth and take care of her resentment.

'The queen is the great benefactor of my present Dengyong' - this sentence, but when Xiao Zhu was established, he said it in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military officials, and the people of the world remembered it for their mother and son.

In the first round of-for-tat, Empress Dowager Liang was defeated like this, and Empress Dowager Li didn't want to waste her energy with her, so she called her daughter-in-law to step forward, held her hand and looked at it, and said: "Well, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I am getting more and more prominent, so I can see that my eyes are sharp!" ”

As she spoke, she instructed Aunt Song to bring the prepared gifts.

"This pair of red jade carved peony Ruyi was given by the first emperor when the mourning family succeeded to the queen, and now it will be given to you! It is the queen mother's wedding gift to congratulate the two of you, and I wish the beautiful couple a harmonious and forever good! ”

Pei Yaowei took it respectfully, looking at the burning red, somehow, she remembered the white Xipa when she got up in the morning.

She panicked, almost blushed again, and hurriedly said, "Thank you Queen Mother." ”

At this time, Empress Dowager Liang suddenly smiled and said, "Oops! The mourning family also prepared a gift for the new princess, but looking at her sister as a baby, she was ashamed to show it! ”

"What did my sister say? Their little children, can be given one or two gifts by the love of their elders, and their feathers are better than Mount Tai, aren't they all blessings? ”

Empress Dowager Liang smiled and agreed, and then asked Aunt Zong to take out the things.

She called Pei Yao over, "The mourning family has prepared a pair of red treasure pomegranate hairpins for the princess, which is not as good as the queen mother's handwriting, so she should be a good intention!" ”

She gave the hairpin to Pei Yao with her own hands, and instructed kindly: "The king of Chu is not young, but he doesn't have a son and a half daughter under his knees, it's not like that!" Now that she has a princess, she is becoming more and more lazy, and the princess has to fight for the princess earlier, and let the queen mother and queen mother rest assured! ”

Pei Yaowei looked at her little face close at hand, and felt disgusted in her heart, she thought: This 'worry', you should put more on your son.

"Receive the teachings of Our Lady." She feigned shame and respectfully complied.

After receiving the gift, she began to return the gift.

"The first time the ministers came to see him, he also prepared a salute for the two palaces, and I hope that the queen mother of the two palaces will not dislike it."

Her voice landed, and Xiao Di on the side called the maid in on her behalf.

Although Xiang Tao didn't want to see her, Xiang's married a daughter, but the dowry was not bad at all. What was sent to the Empress Dowager Li was the authentic work of Zhao Ji's "Ruihe Picture", and what was sent to the Empress Dowager Liang was a double-sided embroidered screen of Liuyun Swastika.

She knows the character of the Empress Dowager Liang, if there is no "Ruihe Tu" to compare, the screen that the one hundred and eleven embroiderers have spent months embroidering is her favorite pattern, it should be considered good, but no matter how good it is, it is not as good as the Empress Dowager Li, and it can only be blocked in her eyes.

Sure enough, when the gift was offered, Empress Dowager Liang's face was a little unnatural. Pei Yaowei said in a timely manner: "The concubine has heard that this flowing cloud swastika is a pattern that the Virgin Mary and Pan Guifei are proud of, this thing has been embroidered by the fifty embroidery girls of Nanfu for a hundred days, and now it is brought to the mother, but please don't dislike it." ”

Empress Dowager Liang's eyes moved.

"Where did the princess speak!" She got up and stroked the embroidery, and said with a smile: "It is not easy for the princess to give up such a delicate thing, where does the mourning family dislike it!" ”

It's done. Pei Yao bowed his head and secretly raised the corners of his mouth.

Empress Dowager Liang sat for a moment and then took her leave. However, Pei Yaowei took the initiative to go to Chenghui Palace to ask for peace.

When Xiao Di heard this, his eyebrows couldn't help but move, "You want to see Concubine Pan?" ”

His tone was suspicious, Pei Yaowei had not yet spoken, but Empress Dowager Li said: "Well, after the collapse of Renyi, the emperor has not established the middle palace, and the affairs of the six palaces have been taken by the Pan family in the past two years. ”

When she said this, even though Xiao Di had doubts, she didn't stop her, but only reminded her to go and come back quickly, and act according to etiquette.

"Yes, the concubine understands, Your Highness can rest assured."

After finishing speaking, she took the mirror shadow and went out to Chenghui Palace.

Xiao Di's eyes followed her until she went out, and she was not in a hurry to recover, Empress Dowager Li stared at him for a long time and coughed.

Only then did he realize that he had lost his temper, picked up the teacup, and covered it up.

"It seems-" Empress Dowager Li also picked up the teacup, with an indescribable smile, and said, "This daughter-in-law, my son is quite satisfied?" ”
