Chapter 8 (1)

The emperor is clear, the universe has been decided, the four seas are unified, and they are all kings.

On this day in October, Chang'an City is particularly lively. This day is the day of drinking. At the end of the year, I heard someone sweeping the streets outside, and from time to time I heard the street sweepers say, "The world is finally stable, and the Liu family is finally brilliant", "Sweep it, all the princes and kings of the country are going to Weiyang Palace to worship today, I heard that ah, the king of Chu, the king of Liang, the king of Qi, and so on are coming, and it will be lively at that time", "Wasn't the street full of guards guarding Chang'an Avenue yesterday", "Today we can all enjoy the joy, the completion of Weiyang Palace is really thanks to Prime Minister Xiao He".

The dawn faded, and the sky changed from black gauze to brownish blue, and then to light blue, clear blue, and clear white. Finally, the first rays of the sun in October slowly appeared in the east, it was so charming and intoxicating, and the glow of the sun reflected against the clear blue sky, as if to reflect the whole sky in blood red. Slowly, the warm sunlight caressed the beautiful Chang'an City, illuminated every corner of Chang'an City, with the baptism of daylight, it seems that Chang'an City is more forgiving than yesterday, a happy warmth.

It seems that all the people have moved, got up early, freshened up and dressed up, and some people have already seen the smoke rising from the cooking, steaming hot and fragrant steamed buns, and the heat hurts their fingers, but they still excitedly blow with their mouths and cover the cage cover.

Some people put on new clothes, hung red lanterns in the corners of their houses, and swept their yards again and again, so that not a single leaf fell to the ground, and cleaned up the messy dirty clothes and tents in the house.

Some people took out Xun Xiao and played it.

Some simply formed a team to blow and blow and walk on the street, everyone smiled on their faces, danced red ribbons, danced joyfully, and the cheerful posture could not say the happiness of the people of Chang'an. Children, old people, men and women, all of them were happy and joyful.

"The people of Chang'an wish the Han family eternal stability, and the people of Chang'an pray that the emperor of the Han family will bless the people......" The people of Chang'an City said over and over again, blessing and praying to the Han and Liu Bang. As if agreed, everyone gathered in front of the gate of Changle Palace to wish, and the sound was like a flood of waves entering the court, and what always jumped on their faces was a lingering joy.

'Squeak', slowly, the gate of Changle Palace opened. Dozens of guards stood in line with halberds, and the people wanted to squeeze in to take a look at the palace, taking advantage of the situation to pray for a good rain in the coming year. The guards strictly carried out their duties, preventing the people from breaking in, but they could not hide the cheers of the people.

The palace was already in a hustle and bustle, and all the palace maids, eunuchs, housekeepers, waiters, and even ladies and beauties couldn't suppress their excitement and were busy with their work.

Get up early and make up early, apply yellow to the mirror, cover the jade skin with light clothes, and say goodbye to the old times.

"Put that pot here, yes, yes, don't get it off, be careful."

"What are you doing? What about the emperor's dragon robe, you go to find it out, what time is it, grinding and grinding, and there is something delicious for you to blame. ”

"Oh, where are Mrs. Qi's clothes and Mrs. Bo's Zhao Meiren? Hurry up, all the masters are already urging, hurry up and send it over. ”

The palace was busy with the Shaofu Order, who was in charge of the clothes of the emperor and the queen and the beauties, and he stood in the palace courtyard of Changle Palace early in the morning to command, for fear that something would go wrong, and his mouth was dry, today is a memorable day for the whole country to rejoice, and he will go to Weiyang Palace in a while, and he must make sure that everything is safe.

"Qin Sheren, have you put the five animals you wanted?"

"The vermilion carpet of Weiyang Palace is rolled, no problem, right?"

"The evergreen on both sides of Weiyang Palace must be fresh, and don't forget to put the Supreme Bronze Tripod on both sides, which is a symbol of the supremacy of imperial power."

The Shaofu Ling here is so busy, and the chef over there is also very busy. More than a dozen famous chefs in the palace are cooking delicious dishes together, and the kitchen is already the sound of frying in the oil pot one after another, and the forehead is covered with sweat.

Changxin Palace Zhan Shi and the Imperial Palace Zhan Shi were each busy for the queen and the crown prince, helping to choose clothes for the queen and conveying emergency edicts for the prince.

Too womb.

Everyone is busy working for the prince, making hair, lavender, and tidying up clothes. The uniforms put a black and red dress in front of the prince, with a collar, right side, and waist. It's just that it looks too red, enough to mean a little newly-married. The prince is young, and he wears this outfit to add some sunshine, and he looks very energetic. The palace people brought a six-inch crown and put it on for him squarely, tied a knot at the chin, and only a handsome and sunny face remained.

Liu Ying saw that there was more red than black, so she said with a little disgust, "This and this, it's not good to wear this, it's too red, and this palace is not married." Looking at it again, it looks like a wife and a wife, and it is very awkward to see the eunuchs make themselves look like a bride who is about to get on a sedan chair.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, it is just right to wear this today, and it was also ordered by the queen's mother, and the red is more than the black joy." A eunuch said while making clothes for the prince.

As she was talking, a little palace maid came in from outside the door, not from the palace, but from the queen's palace, she came in panting and saluted Liu Ying, "Slave and maid see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Liu Ying was being fiddled around by a group of eunuchs, her head was slightly on one side, and her eyes crossed the waiters, "Get up, it's so lively today, you don't need to salute, what's the matter?" ”

"The queen said that she would ask Her Royal Highness to come to Changxin Palace for a while, saying that there was something wrong." The little palace maid bowed her head and said in a proper manner, not daring to cross the distance.

Liu Ying pondered for a while, not knowing what the queen mother wanted him to do, and originally planned to go directly to Weiyang Palace. He waved his hand to her suspiciously, and said, "Got it, just say I'll be there in a moment." ”

Today, it was a lively day, and the prince asked someone to reward the little palace maid with a string of jewels, and the little palace maid thanked Dade and thanked the prince and ran away happily.

Choshin Palace.

Princess Lu Yuan is helping the queen in the queen's palace to make up, wearing delicate and beautiful earrings, pasting flower yellow, blushing, and drawing thin eyebrows.

Someone outside the door sent the queen's phoenix clothes, the gold silk thread is threaded and woven into a small warp and weft, the golden phoenix totem is inlaid in the wide cuffs of black mixed with red, and the position of the chest and the back is also embroidered with the golden phoenix. Princess Lu Yuan took the phoenix clothes and asked Lu Hou to look, Lu Hou got up and looked at the clothes that had never been worn, and her hand gently touched the surface of the clothes, smooth and delicate, golden and shining.

As soon as he turned around, he put the phoenix robe on his body. The golden phoenix is around Lu Hou showing a rising trend, and the phoenix beaks of the four golden phoenixes are arched to Lu Hou from the four directions of the southeast and northwest (two arms, phoenix birds on the front chest and back), which is quite a bit of a domination of the four seas. Empress Lu liked this outfit very much, so she turned to look at the circle that turned up on the side of her skirt, smiled happily, and spread her hands out to call Princess Lu Yuan to come and see.

"A-Yuan, what do you think?" While admiring herself, Empress Lu asked Princess Lu Yuan who was standing next to her.

The princess walked by Empress Lu's side, looked carefully at the changed queen mother, and exclaimed in surprise, "Where is this queen mother, it is clearly the goddess of heaven descending to earth." ”

A little Zhang Yan, who was playing by herself, also came over to join in the fun, "My grandmother has become beautiful, my grandfather likes my grandmother more, and Yan'er also wants to wear a golden phoenix dress." Zhang Yan patted her immature little hands and praised Empress Lu coquettishly.

Empress Lu sneered, and glanced at Zhang Yan as if she was fake, "This little guy is very clear, and he doesn't lie at all." ”

The princess bent over and hugged Zhang Yan and smiled, and little Zhang Yan also giggled and fell into Lu Yuan's arms and laughed.

Empress Lu hugged Xiao Zhang Yan from Lu Yuan's arms, kissed her on the face lovingly, and gave her a loud pop, "Yan'er is good, Yan'er is my grandmother's little liver, Yan'er grows up to be a queen, okay?" ”

As soon as Empress Lu's words fell, Princess Lu Yuan was half frightened, and her face suddenly changed from the original joy to a blue color, and she suddenly felt that her throat was dry, and a wave of worry and sudden surprise appeared in her pupils. She is the biological niece of her younger brother Liu Ying, how can she be a queen?

She swallowed her saliva subconsciously, and looked at Empress Lu who was playing with Yan'er in a distracted manner, and suddenly felt that the queen mother was unfamiliar for a moment.

Zhang Yan's round black eyes widened even more, and she asked with a smile, "Can Yan'er be a queen like her grandmother?" Yan'er is so happy. The immature Zhang Yan was immersed in a child's innocent and pure joy, and she couldn't tell the right and wrong of the world, and she seemed to have joy to ask Empress Lu, in her heart at this time, she thought that she could marry the emperor's uncle.

"Does the queen mother really want to marry Yan'er to her younger brother?" Princess Lu Yuan walked to Empress Lu's side and asked with a blue face.

When Empress Lu saw her serious appearance, she laughed at it, ignored the princess's question, turned around and took Xiao Zhang Yan to the inner room.
