Chapter 364: The Great Gift of Harmony (Second Update)
Princess Gina is the wedding envoy escorted to Chang'an, the king of Gaochang because of the war with the Tatar border, can not come to Chang'an to participate in the wedding in person, so the lottery, name and many other etiquette is also simplified, the good time for Qintian to invite is also the beginning of December, and soon it will be the day of the big gift.
On this day, Gu Mingzhu woke up early, and saw the melting snow outside through the window paper, and the window lattice was still rustling, and it was still snowing heavily.
Ah Bi opened the felt curtain and came in with a refreshing chill, and saw Gu Mingzhu standing up straight and looking at the window in a lotus-colored satin shirt, and laughed: "The county lord is awake?" It was a whole night last night, and I haven't heard it yet. ”
She rubbed her hands warmly before she stepped forward to help Gu Mingzhu get up, patted her hands and let the palace maid waiting outside come in with a hot water hand towel and comb the grate, Xiaokui also came in with a warm dress from the smoke cage, and stamped her feet in the cold: "It's really cold outside, and the snow is heavy, but the county lord still has to go to the Liangyi Palace to watch the ceremony." ”
She complained in her heart, on such a cold and freezing day, she didn't know how Qin Tianjian would choose it as a personal gift.
Gu Mingzhu didn't care much about it, and smiled: "Just prepare the sleeve cage and hand stove, it's just a moment's work, don't worry." ”
Abi combed Gu Mingzhu's hair in a bun, but said softly: "The queen of heaven also got up, and the maid saw Xu Siyan go to the main hall, and took the groomed palace people to hold the dresses and go over together." ”
This made Gu Mingzhu a little surprised, these days, the queen of heaven did not ask about the affairs of the palace and the previous dynasty, although she read the newspaper sent in, but there has been no movement, and even this matter of harmony was handed over to Han Guifei, and she didn't ask at all, but why is it a little unusual today?
She changed her dress after grooming, and then took the maidservant to the main hall, and on the way, she was pulled by Princess Anping, who came over happily, and went to greet the queen of heaven together.
Princess Anping's dress on this day is very pleasing, the red white fox lapel Zhaojun set, inside is a purple flower velvet shirt, Zhu Jin Ruyi pleated Hunan skirt, a pair of teeth-pinching lambskin boots looming under the skirt, looking very popular.
She has been depressed for the illness of the saint and the queen of heaven these days, so she smiled rarely, and pulled Gu Mingzhu to the main hall quickly: "A-Niang agreed, take me to watch the ceremony today." ”
Gu Mingzhu was even more surprised, could it be that the queen of heaven didn't plan to call herself sick again, but today she wanted to go to watch the gift in person?
"Erlang got married, I am reluctant to be a mother after all, and I want to take a look to be relieved." The queen of heaven said to Gu Mingzhu with a smile, and asked the palace maid to look at the fairy bun for her, and the red gold nine-tailed phoenix hairpin on the hairpin, compared to the bronze mirror and put the pearl hanging from the phoenix's mouth in the forehead.
"It's just that this great gift of harmony is handled by Concubine Han Guifei, if I go here, she can only serve aside, which is not good, so I will simply go over later, and when they finish those gifts, I will go over to see the princess of Gaochang and send a heart."
Gu Mingzhu couldn't help blinking, she didn't understand what the queen of heaven meant, just looking at her with strict makeup and beautiful clothes, it was clearly not like just going to see her once.
She didn't dare to ask more, so she had to say, "I'll accompany the queen of heaven to go over." ”
The queen of heaven smiled and shook her head: "No need, you young lovers are lively, it's rare to see such a happy event, you and Anping go first, otherwise it won't be a loss of face for Concubine Han and Erlang." ”
Gu Mingzhu had to agree and accompany Princess Anping to bend her knees and retire.
It's just that she has been guessing in her heart, it seems that the queen of heaven does have other plans today, and I don't know if it has anything to do with the dormancy of these days.
The snow is very large, the goose feather snow in the sky is still falling sprinkled, a thick layer of snow has accumulated on both sides of the palace road, the entire Taiji Palace has been white, and the carriage is walking in this snow-covered world.
Princess Anping chirped happily: "...... I don't know what the princess of Gaochang looks like, but she is really the first beauty in Gaochang as they say, and she is worthy of my second brother's dignified appearance! In the future, she will be my second sister-in-law, won't she be able to meet often, and I don't know if she is compatible with our temperament, is she an amiable person? ”
Gu Mingzhu laughed at her large number of questions: "Your Highness is so curious, why don't you rush to see the bride for a while, and see if your future second sister-in-law teaches you to be satisfied, if you are satisfied, then nod and agree." ”
Princess Anping also laughed: "You laughed at me again, I just thought about it...... Yun Niang doesn't move around with us anymore, maybe this second sister-in-law is a like-minded person, and we can have one more person to talk to, right? ”
Hearing her mention Cen Liuniang, the smile on Gu Mingzhu's face faded a lot, and she pursed her lips and looked out of the carriage window: "Some things are reluctant, and I can't say that there will be a deed in the future." ”
It's just that she understands in her heart that in such a situation where interests are intertwined, how many sincere people are willing to treat each other with sincerity, and it is already lucky to have one, where can she dare to expect more.
On the jade steps in front of the Liangyi Palace, the snow has been swept clean, and the palace servants stand neatly on both sides, waiting for the nobles who came to watch the ceremony.
The door of the palace was wide open, the temple had already burned the earth dragon, spread out hundreds of couch mats, and many courtiers and women had arrived, sitting on the couch mats eating crisp cheese and talking.
When Princess Anping and Gu Mingzhu came in together, they saw several ladies and ladies not far from the palace surrounding Zhou Chuchu, the lord of Changping, and they were standing in one place with a smile, all praising Concubine Han for arranging with her thoughtfully, such a big happy event is so appropriate, it is really a rare ability.
Zhou Chuchu in the middle of the crowd was clearly deliberately dressed up today, dressed in a rose red brocade robe, a pink brocade plate and gold embroidered silk skirt, and there was still a somewhat exaggerated high bun on his head, and the vermilion red hairpin on it was bright and dazzling, which could be seen at a glance in the crowd.
She was listening to their praise proudly, and said modestly: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." ”
His eyes swept over the crowd, but he saw Princess Anping and Gu Mingzhu beside her, and suddenly came to his senses, and his eyes turned and said to those people with a smile: "If you can do things, there is still a Lingling County Lord in the palace, who has not been praised by the Queen of Heaven before, but she has rarely been seen these days." ”
The few people turned around and saw Princess Anping and Gu Mingzhu, their faces were a little uncomfortable, but they quickly smiled and stepped forward to salute, and after a few words of greeting, they returned to Zhou Chuchu's side and spoke.
Zhou Chuchu saw that Princess Anping and Gu Mingzhu, who were sought after by everyone in the past, were now losing power, and there were not even a few people talking to them, but their side was becoming more and more lively, and many ladies who had just come came to greet them with their ladies and daughters, and they felt even more satisfied.
But this is not enough, after this marriage, Gu Mingzhu's trouble really came!
She couldn't wait to see that!
