Chapter 63: The Emperor's Wedding
Chapter 63 Introduction
The emperor got married, granted amnesty to the world, and reduced taxes for one year.
The whole country celebrates, and the people rejoice together.
The streets of Pingcheng are filled with the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums, and the faces of the people are full of smiles.
And Tuoba Hong, who is the protagonist today, didn't smile at all, stunned in his Taihe Palace, looking at the joyful dragon robe in a daze for a long time.
The close attendant Zhou Gonggong was anxious and didn't know what to do.
He was silent, looking at the emperor's expression uneasily, seeing that the hour was coming, the empress dowager ordered someone to urge again, so he had to remind softly and flatteringly, "Your Majesty, the hour is coming." β
Tuoba Hong didn't even raise his head, "I know, let someone come and change my clothes." β
His voice was extremely cold, and there was no expression on his face.
Hearing this, Gonggong Zhou was finally relieved, and hurriedly asked the palace maid to move quickly.
Outside the Taihe Palace, all the officials above the fifth grade in the capital arrived, and they entered the banquet one after another.
When the Empress Dowager sat on the honored seat, the courtiers knelt on the ground and bowed, and a voice of "Empress Dowager Wanfu Jin'an" resounded in the sky.
Feng was in a good mood and was smiling. It's been a long time to get to this day.
All the people who should have come to the banquet came, and Tuoba Hong, dressed in a big red dragon robe, looked at all the courtiers facing him, but he couldn't be happy.
Because of today's day, he could only smile vaguely at everyone below.
Zhou Gonggong said, "Etiquette begins", and Tuoba Hong barely woke up.
In the whole wedding ceremony, he had a cold face throughout the whole process, and whoever saw it felt like he was forced.
The Feng Taishi at the bottom knew that in order for the Feng family to continue to take on the power and glory in the future, he could only let his daughter become a country without the emperor's favor.
As long as the title of the queen is in the Feng family, nothing matters.
At the banquet, Tuoba Hong personally stepped down from the dragon seat and pulled the King of Beihai to drink non-stop, he wanted to get himself drunk, and when he was drunk, he fell asleep.
The King of the North Sea understood his behavior very well, and as a younger brother for many years, he was not good at saying anything.
Princess Peng Cheng saw that the Empress Dowager's face was a little strange, and she was afraid that the imperial brother would make the old ancestor uncomfortable on this special day, so she approached him, and while smiling and congratulating, she whispered in Tuoba Hong's ear, "The old ancestor is watching." β
Tuoba Hong laughed and didn't take Yingyu's words seriously.
Feng Yueyan has been busy since the day she knew that the wedding date had been set, buying a dowry for herself and adding new clothes and jewelry.
I wake up smiling every day, and every night is a sweet dream. The days of the wedding seemed like a few years had passed, and she couldn't wait.
finally got married, in her new bedroom, when it was almost time to have a child, the emperor was helped in by his brother Feng Dan in a drunken manner.
She endured her temperament and did not say anything angry, today was her wedding day, and she didn't want to be unhappy.
It's just that after all the etiquette was over, the emperor didn't look at her anymore, didn't say a word, and fell asleep.
It is said that the cave room spends candle nights, and the spring night is worth a thousand gold, but she ushered in a silent night.
She sat on the edge of the wide bed dumbfounded, tears about to fall, but she held back, she didn't want the first day of the wedding to be so unpleasant.
The excitement at the beginning had long since faded, and all that remained in her heart was hatred.
Hates the second lady of the Gao family, Gao Zhaorong.
She understands very well and knows that the person in the emperor's heart is her. Since the emperor took Gao Zhaorong to Lan Ruoyuan, she began to hold a grudge in her heart, and she held a grudge against Gao Zhaorong for everything.
However, although the Empress Dowager today understands Tuoba Hong's reluctance and has no affection for Feng Yueyan, as long as the Empress is a member of the Feng family, she will be comfortable in her heart.
She was happy all day, and before she fell asleep, she was still telling her slave Yuetao that Hong'er had finally grown up.
The queen was sure, and she was relieved.
Under the same sky, all kinds of people live all kinds of destinies.
Everyone has their own thoughts, their own troubles and unpleasantness, and their own happiness and unhappiness.
When the King of Beihai returned to the mansion, he was already guilty, and he reluctantly walked into the mansion with the support of Xie Rin.
He did not go directly to the bedroom to lie down, but to the pear blossom tree in his house.
The pear blossoms are in full bloom, snow-white, and even at night, the flowers of the trees are still shining.
He laughed, laughed slowly, laughed louder and louder, and finally laughed maniacally.
"Bring the sword!" He roared.
Xie Rin clearly handed the sword to his hand.
The King of the North Sea drew his sword and swung his sword waddly under the pear blossom tree.
He thought of Wang Zhen'er and Zhen'er's short life.
If she were still here, would she be just as sad today?
No matter how much she loves the emperor, it is impossible for the empress dowager to make her the emperor's queen.
Once he promised himself in his heart that even if Wang Zhen'er was the emperor's woman in the end, he just wanted her to be well.
However, he gave up the idea of wanting her, and she still couldn't be happy.
The night was cool, and the King of the North Sea was sober under the night dew.
If he did it again, would he still give up the woman he loved?
Flying swords towards tree trunks.
The tip of the sword is plunged straight into the trunk of the tree.
The King of the North Sea stared, looking at the petals that fell lightly, and his mind was Gao Zhaorong's figure at this time.
Now that she is her, should he also give up?

The day before the emperor's wedding, I was in the house as usual.
Quiet, still quiet.
Except for Gao Xian who came to my hospital and asked me to change his dressing, I didn't talk to anyone else except for the two maids.
After Gao Xian left my Qiushui residence, I stood in the courtyard and looked up at the sunset in the sky, and I was fascinated for a while.
Ying Lin whispered behind me, "Second Miss, the water has been put away, and you can take a bath."
"Okay." I dragged a long tail note and turned slightly.
With my eyes closed, I soaked in silence in the tub.
Yinglin woke me up, and I opened my eyes.
I feel tired.
That night, I slept soundly until the next day, when I was awakened by the sound of firecrackers on the road outside the house.
While freshening up, I casually asked Yinglin, "What's going on outside today?" β
Ying Lin was puzzled and said, "Doesn't Miss even know what day it is?" β
In the mirror, I suddenly stood still, and I already knew what day it was.
Today, the emperor is married.
It's been announced to the world a long time ago, but I just forgot.
Tuoba is married, and I should be happy for him.
He is the emperor, and the wedding is a matter of time.
However, my mind suddenly had that phrase from himβhe said he liked me.
There was no expression on my face, and I wasn't happy or unhappy because of his wedding.
I was just vaguely upset.
I don't know what I'm bothering about.
At breakfast, I thought of Takubahiro, who should have been preparing for the big wedding ceremony.
I felt that I had no affection for him, but at the end of the day, I thought of him consciously or unconsciously, perhaps because today was his wedding day.
I heard a slave and maid say, "It is said that the second miss will be a mother, and I don't know when the emperor will marry the second miss." β
"The emperor's intentions, who will know, maybe the second miss is just a temporary interest."
"If the second miss really becomes a mother, the Gao family is a relative of the emperor and the country, and our slaves and maids are also stained."
"Shhh
Ying Lin was standing right behind me, and she wanted to scold the slaves who bit their tongues, but I stopped her.
I just smiled indifferently, who is so sure that the emperor will marry me?
I turned around and walked towards my Qiushui Residence, but after only two steps, I was stunned again.
If Tuoba Hong really wants to marry me as a concubine, what should I do?
Should I marry or not?
I hadn't really thought about it.
I pondered this question for a long time.
At night on the second day after the emperor's wedding, I was painting in the study when I heard Yinglin talking outside.
Xie Rin climbed in through the outer wall.
After Xie Rin entered the hospital, he first startled Yinglin.
One of the guards of the King of the North Sea came to my courtyard.
When Xie Rin saw Yinglin, he asked, "Where is your young lady?" β
"Paint in there!" Ying Lin said to him calmly.
I heard Xie Rin say that something was wrong with me, and I said to the door, "Let him in." β
Yinglin should know Xie Rin, and she was surprised that it might not be that she didn't know him.
When I went to the Shili River, the King of Beihai followed, and told me that I met Yinglin on the street and learned that she was my slave, so I learned my whereabouts. Then Xie Rin was also present at that time, and he had also seen Yinglin, so the two of them should know each other.
I'm concentrating on painting, using it as a painting to calm my own chaotic mind.
Xie Rin saluted respectfully at my side.
I raised my eyes, and was much cooler and colder to him, no longer in the same way I was in the Mengxian Residence, and asked, "Is there something wrong with me?"
Xie Rin was a little unclear about my unfamiliarity, and I obviously felt that he didn't think I was a prince.
I had never treated him so indifferently in the time he was with me.
I didn't want to be so indifferent to people, but I couldn't lift my mood.
Xie Rin said seriously: "Your Highness wants to see you, tomorrow at noon on Nancheng Street Qingyuan Building."
After hearing this, I just smiled slightly, did not answer him, and continued to paint.
Xie Rin was a little incomprehensible.
However, he had already sent me a message himself, and his mission had been accomplished.
He saluted me again and was about to leave.
"Xie Rin." I called his name.
Xie Rin looked at me, I smiled at him, and said indifferently, "Say thank you to Your Highness on my behalf, thank you for taking care of me when you were in Mengxian Residence, and thank you for saving me at Shili River." β
Xie Rin didn't quite understand my meaning, and after he was stunned, he replied to me, "Second Miss's words, I will definitely inform Your Highness in the future." β
I smiled indifferently at him again and watched him leave.
I don't know if Xie Rin understands what I mean, but as long as he says it to Ji Yu, Ji Yu should understand.
I'm really grateful for those days I spent in Mengxian Residence, the days I spent with them.
Ying Lin looked at me with a strange expression, and I didn't get enough of it.
When Xie Rin came, I didn't even have the heart to paint.
In the past few days, I have felt very upset and unable to calm down.
When he came out of front of the bookcase, he didn't know that his dress had brought the inkstone down and fell to the ground, splashing ink, and his skirt was splashed with ink.
Zilan hurried over and asked me how I was doing.
I was still not the slightest surprised, but looked indifferently at the inkstone on the ground.
