Chapter 9: Two Marks: The Heart of the Palace, the Lock, and the Jade Creek Artesian (1)
It seems a little too noisy outside.
The team of relatives is walking mightily on Suzaku Street, and the ten-mile-long team is guarding this big red sedan chair like stars and moons. The red tassels all around seemed to have fallen from the sky.
Qingji sat in the big red sedan chair, and the people around the sedan chair kept cheering, and the whole sedan chair was like an island in the furious ocean.
Since he was covered with a big red hijab, he couldn't open the curtains as he usually did, curious to look out to see what it was. Honestly sat inside, enduring the constant noise.
Tonight is the day of the marriage between the daughter of the prime minister and the emperor of the current dynasty.
The prime minister was selfless, and in order to prove his loyalty, he publicly crossed out his daughter's name and made the people feel that they had finally met a virtuous minister. have asked to let the daughter enter the palace as the queen, and the mother will be the world.
At first, the prime minister resolutely refused, but the next morning, thousands of people gathered at the gate of the prime minister's mansion, claiming that if the prime minister's daughter did not enter the palace, he would kneel on the ground. The prime minister was forced to send his daughter to the palace tonight.
So that night, the whole city was brightly lit and red, and everyone seemed to be married to their own daughter, and they were so happy.
"Miss, the front is Weiyang Palace." The curtain in front of it was suddenly lifted, revealing a round head.
That's Qingxuan, the personal maid who has played with Qingji since childhood, and the only person in the prime minister's mansion who accompanied Qingji to marry.
It is said that the prime minister originally did not agree with Qingxuan to enter the palace with Qingji, but he didn't expect this girl to kneel at the door of the main hall for a whole day, no matter how coaxing and scolding, she refused to leave. After all, she grew up, and the prime minister's wife couldn't bear to see her kneel wrong, so she had to agree.
So Qingxuan became the only maid in Quanxiangfu to accompany the young lady into the palace, and for a long time afterward, she became the only person Qingzhen trusted.
"Okay." Qingji raised his eyes to look at Qingxuan, and responded softly.
"Aren't you happy, Miss? You're going to be a queen. "In the end, she is a playmate from childhood to adulthood, Qingxuan is naturally different from ordinary maids, and she speaks a lot more casually.
"Happy? Will you be happy when you enter the palace? Qing Scar wondered.
"Of course! I've been listening to people in the palace since I was a child, and now I'm very happy to see it with my own eyes. Qingxuan rightly said, her eyebrows were full of excitement.
"That's just because it's not you going to be queen." Qingji smiled tolerantly, looking indifferent.
"Shouldn't it be happier to be a queen?" Qingxuan asked suspiciously.
"Happier? Perhaps. Qingji tilted his head slightly, and his eyes showed sadness.
"Oh! I see, miss, you're homesick. Don't be afraid, I'm right here. Qingxuan showed a look of sudden realization and comforted. Qing Jian just smiled when he heard this, and then closed his mouth and stopped talking.
Qingxuan was bored with herself, and she was not angry, so she obediently closed the curtain and turned around. After all, isn't this always the case for my own young lady, just say a few words when she wants to speak, and as long as she doesn't recite the female commandments when she doesn't want to speak, even the king of heaven can't open her golden mouth.
Qingxuan has always wondered why her own young lady is not as old as herself, but she always feels like an old man.
Suddenly, the shrill voice of the father-in-law came from outside the sedan chair, accompanied by a loud sound of iron chains rubbing. Qingji suddenly found that the hustle and bustle around him suddenly quieted down, and the air quickly quieted down, and even the voice of his father-in-law receiving the holy decree could be heard clearly. Everyone seemed to be paying attention to the heavy sound of chains.
Qingji knew that this was the opening of the Xuanwu Gate.
The Xuanwu Gate is the first gate of the Imperial Palace, and it is also the first barrier to guard the Imperial Palace. Since ancient times, the Xuanwu Gate has been a symbol of impregnability, faithfully guarding the imperial palace. And entering the Xuanwu Gate means entering the palace.
Many women who enter the palace have seen the Xuanwu Gate once in their lives. Qingxuan is like this, and so is Qingji. just stepped into the palace, but never came out again in his life, the two of them are like this, and so are everyone.
The pitch-black Xuanwu Gate slowly closed, and the vast world outside the door was cut off, leaving only the cold imperial palace.
Qingxuan seemed to know something, stood up suddenly, looked back and watched the hustle and bustle outside gradually turn into a line and then disappear, but as everyone knows, this glance is the last one.
But the traces were cleared, but I couldn't even see it at the last glance.
At this time, she was wearing a bright red hijab. Sit with your legs next to each other.
Heading towards the lonely palace ahead.
