Chapter 12: The Wedding of the King of Quang Binh
It was rare for Gu Xixi to see Ye Qian sitting there without saying a word, his knotted hands clenched tightly into a fist. The two of them stared at each other like this, until the tea stopped steaming, Ye Qian gritted his teeth and spit out, "Dog, why didn't you tell me earlier?" In exchange for Gu Xixi's white eyes, it means that Gu Panpan made a good decision, from childhood to adulthood, which of us can have the technique of returning to heaven?
Ye Qian felt his temples jump suddenly, and his head hurt.
Gu Xixi carefully wiped the four copper plates he picked up and put them into his purse with his fingertips, looked up at Ye Qian's frowning appearance, snapped his fingers at him, and said, "What kind of fool are you, King Guangping?" I have to think about my sister's life. β
"Hiss......" Ye Qian glared at Gu Xixi, "Shut your mouth!" β
A bowl of tea saw the bottom, Gu Xixi's eyes seemed to be unable to see the bottom, and Ye Qian bent his fingers and knocked on the table. Gu Xixi suddenly looked up at Ye Qian, returning to his usual hippie smiling rogue appearance, he said: "Old brother, you have something important to do, don't worry about us ignorant sisters, brother is waiting for the day when you stand firm in Hanyuan Palace." Gu Xixi added a spoonful to herself from the can of sencha and said, "It's time to find a stepmother for my daughter." β
Ye Qian moved his Adam's apple, and swallowed back the words shut up.
A cup of tea was poured, and Gu Xixi dipped his index finger in water and drew sixteen hexagrams on the table. Ye Qian watched his movements and asked, "Dog thing, what is this?" β
"Nature." Gu Xixi wiped his palm and only said two words.
Ye Qian pursed his lips, raised his head and glared at Gu Xixi, and said, "If you can't help it, just say it, five confusions and three ways." β
"Do you have a way?"
ββ¦β¦ Not. β
He Niang learned to recite the poem "Acacia" by King Maha in Ye Qian's arms, and the uncle of the Ye family felt the undercurrent of struggle in the court, and the idea of marrying the Li family was put down, Ye Qian was happy and comfortable, and continued to live a busy and leisurely life, and Gu Xixi had a hangover all night. Mrs. Ye sewed a new dress for Heniang, and when she mentioned Ye Qian's unsettled marriage, she felt that she had an extra white hair on her sideburns.
Gu Xixi set up a stall in the West Market to tell fortunes, and was chased by ruffians for two streets, hiding behind Ma Yueniang, who was killed with a whip.
"Xilang, let's not lie to people in the future, okay?" Si Pa circled her fingers three times, and Ma Yueniang finally hesitated to speak.
"That's not good, I'm saving my wife's book." Gu Xixi said seriously.
He said so well and reasonably, Ma Yueniang couldn't refute it.
The wedding date of the king of Quang Binh is in the ancient cypress and the end of August, the end of August, the twilight of summer and early autumn. On the auspicious day, the six ceremonies were complete, the holy decree of the Son of Heaven Li Longji spread all over the two capitals, and the secretary and young eunuch Cui Xun's daughter Cui Shi, from the famous family of Boling, was worthy of the grandson of the Son of Heaven, and was canonized as the princess of the county. The gift given by the Son of Heaven and the concubine to the princess of Guangping envied Jinghua. Just like the marriage of Princess Xianyi in the past, the wedding banquet of King Guangping can be attended by celebrities and nobles from all over the world, and the world is happy with it, highlighting the prosperity and enlightenment.
The wedding car passed through the neighborhood of Chang'an City, Gu Panpan sat in the wedding car, listening to the hustle and bustle outside the car, she held a bag that Gu Xixi gave her, and there was a wooden plaque in it, which was said to be the leftover material for the future sister-in-law Ma Yueniang to make a wooden hairpin, with the word "Yu" written on it.
"The sixteen hexagrams may be fateful, and I always calculate this hexagram. You take it, don't fight for everything, don't be too attentive, take one step at a time. Gu Xixi said this to Gu Panpan.
Conforming to nature is the principle of the hexagram.
"The dog is dead, and he will get me a piece of leftovers." Gu Panpan was so angry that he puffed up his little face into a bag, gritted his teeth and scolded in a low voice. The car stopped for a while, but I heard a cheer outside the car, and it was Li Li who personally boarded the car to greet her. The bag was hidden in his sleeve, and he hurriedly covered his eyebrows with a fan.
"Give it to me." Li Jiao stretched out his hand to her, palm facing up, meaning clearly.
Gu Panpan hesitated for a moment, plucked up the courage to put his hand on Li Li's palm, Li Jiao smiled gently, making people unable to see through the truth and hypocrisy. At dawn tomorrow, the king of Guangping will personally help the princess get out of the wedding car, and the words of love between the husband and wife will spread all over Chang'an one hundred and eight squares.
At dusk, the fiery red clouds illuminate the west with its last glow.
The covenant of the group fan theme oath is nothing more than the clichΓ©d but extremely sincere sentences of white heads and old men. Gu Panpan wore a verdant wedding dress embroidered with a winged phoenix with gold thread, and she sat on her knees on the tooth mat waiting for Li Jiao's arrival. There are bursts of cicadas chirping outside the green house, and the sound of flying insects is rustling, because the house is stuffy and even a little uncomfortable and anxious. Gu Panpan turned his neck slightly, and Jin Tian Pearl shook his voice, which was very pleasant.
Everything in front of him was like a dream, and Gu Panpan didn't know what he was thinking. Sometimes she thinks that if today is her and Ye Qian's wedding, she will be simple and happy, sometimes her heart beats faster for the unknown and dangerous future, and sometimes she even thinks of Li Li's handsomeness and spaciousness.
Nasty, annoying.
Gu Panpan hid himself behind the fan, and between breathing and breathing, he heard Li Li's footsteps coming unhurriedly. Seeing through the silk wisps that the person who came was handsome, it was the demeanor of the heavenly family, he sat upright on the opposite seat, and said with a smile: "Just outside, this king has asked the princess to fan it, why is it covered up again at this time?" β
"The concubine is outside, and I don't dare to refute the prince's face." Gu Panpan muttered softly.
It was quiet in the green house, and even if it was soft, Li Jiao could hear it clearly. Looking at the new princess in front of her, who is like her own sister with Cui Qingyang's temperament and appearance, she is a little interested in wine.
"Today's wedding, I swear in the name of the Li family, promise the princess, and invite the princess to come to see me." Li Li said.
Gu Panpan looked at Li Jiao, who was speaking seriously in front of him and had a gentle smile between his eyebrows and eyes, and for a while felt that it was the peony dew blooming in his heart in the spring. Gu Pan hung his head shyly, he really liked this kind of thing, and it was the most unreasonable thing to talk about.
"In the future, you can't sin your family." Gu Panpan stared at the flowing cloud pattern on the cuffs and spoke.
"The Gu family is not guilty, but they have wronged the princess, and their flesh and blood are separated." Li Li said.
At first glance, when he heard the words "separation of flesh and blood", Gu Panpan was a little moved, and said: "Then you can't offend the Cui family." β
Li Jiao said: "The Cui family is not guilty, the situation is a famous family, a century-old foundation, and it is not the king alone who can be guilty." β
"Anything else?" Li Li asked with interest.
ββ¦β¦ The concubine has the status of husband and wife with you, is it okay, can you live a good life? Gu Panpan felt that he was already a little dizzy before he drank the wine.
Li Jiao leaned forward, held Gu Panpan's hand and slowly moved the fan away, Gu Panpan exclaimed, the two faced each other, Li Jiao said: "Then may the princess remember the promise with this king." A glass of wine lingered in his mouth, Gu Panpan removed his hair bun in front of the bronze mirror, and the golden hairpin given by Cui Qingyang was carefully stored in the makeup box. A handful of water washed away the lead, Li Jiao looked at Gu Panpan who was without makeup in front of him, and said, "Can I call Princess Panniang in the future?" It's like...... Ye Langzhong called you that. β
Gu Panpan was stunned for a moment, and his words were speechless.
Li Jiao stretched out his hand to caress Gu Panpan's good-looking eyebrows, and Gu Panpan closed his eyes with shyness.
When the warm breath in front of him left for a while, and Gu Panpan opened his eyes again, Li Jiao had already lay down in his clothes, and his voice was peaceful, but he didn't know the joy or sorrow, "Panniang, in the future, you will be the daughter of the Cui family, and you will be the princess of Guangping, and don't forget the appointment with this king Baishou." β
Gu Panpan knew that Li Jiao had woken up at this time. She pursed her lips, dragged a pillow three fists away from him, and lay on her side.
Listening to the cicadas outside the Qinglu, Gu Panpan couldn't help but talk to Li Jiao, she chattered sentence by sentence, saying that she had been playing with her brother since she was a child, and in order not to be bullied, Gu Xixi, who was not good at fighting, pretended to be a little bully, and said cruelly to her neighbors, "Dare to bully my sister and kill you!" Learning Gu Xixi's tone, Gu Panpan learned ten out of ten.
Li Jiao's suppressed laughter came from behind.
Gu Panpan didn't dare to turn around, and said: "When I was a child, my brother took the skin, and refused to study hard, I spoiled me, so he indulged me to play, it was Qianlang who pressed me to read and learn calligraphy, he said that girls don't read some books, and they have to help count money when they get married and are bullied." β
"Qianlang likes Wang Majie's poems, last time I saw him teaching Xiao Heniang to recite poems, and I don't know if he has learned it......"
Li Jiao was aroused by Gu Panpan, he wanted to tell Gu Panpan about his biological mother, but he heard a light snoring around him. Looking at Gu Panpan, who had been tired for several days, he slept peacefully, Li Li helplessly hid his wry smile in the fading candlelight.
The guests in the East Palace dispersed, and the maidservant added another lamp to the room, reflecting Zhang Liangdi's beautiful appearance. The plain fingers dyed with water red Kodan pressed her eyebrows, and she couldn't hide her tiredness, but Zhang Liangdi didn't mean to rest at all, just sat and turned a page of the book.
"King Guangping has the eldest grandson of His Royal Highness under his knees, and now he is married to the Cui family......" The maid of the confidant stopped speculating about her master's face while talking.
"I grew up with my grandmother, and since I married into the East Palace, I naturally won't be willing to be a side concubine for the rest of my life." The words grinding out between the red lips and teeth carried twelve points of uneasiness. Zhang Liangdi has proud capital. Zhang's family came from a famous family, and her grandmother was the sister of the Empress Dowager Zhaocheng, who had the grace of raising Li Longji and was named Mrs. Deng Guo. Zhang Liangdi was sent to her grandmother by her family since she was a child, raised in Chang'an, beautiful and skillful, Li Heng was in the East Palace, and she married into the East Palace to be Liangdi.
Everyone knows that Zhang Liangdi, who is young, beautiful and noble-born, is the most favored concubine by Li Heng's side today.
"At the beginning, our Royal Highness was crowned the crown prince for the first time, and the Holy Admiral married me to His Royal Highness, precisely to use the power of the Empress Dowager's mother family to stabilize the status of the crown prince. The Emperor's Mind Technique, Balancing the Parties, this is the first time I have seen a scheme, and it was in the Holy Place. Zhang Liangdi looked at the picture of the beauty on the lampshade and said.
"In the Nine-Fold Palace, where did the peaceful days come from? With this Princess Cui, the water in the East Palace is even deeper. The maid approached and removed the bun for Zhang Liangdi.
The green clouds were scattered over her shoulders, and Zhang Liangdi breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the day's work.
"Your Highness will not come today under any circumstances. King Guangping got married, and he must be thinking about the Wu family. Zhang Liangdi said.
