Chapter 519: The Great Wedding (Part II)
The fiery phoenix was getting closer and closer to the palace under the reluctant gaze of Mu Yizhi and Mu Anzhi's father and son. []
On both sides of the street, there were already people standing who came to watch the ceremony, and at the moment when Feng Yuan passed by, these people knelt on the ground and saluted reverently, looking at the red 'color' sedan chair with their eyes full of heat. Sitting here is their future mother of the country, the 'daughter' of the protector of the 'jade' cold.
Mu Qingya sat in the phoenix, unable to see the scene outside, and her eyes were completely red. In the 'jade' cold, the phoenix has always been bright and yellow, with the exception of one day, which is the day the queen enters the palace. And there is only one person who has the owner of each phoenix, if something happens to the queen of this term, the accompanying phoenix chariot will definitely be sent to the imperial mausoleum as a funeral gift. And she is the first wife of Duanmu Lingyu, and the last wife, this phoenix chariot is made of extraordinarily 'fine', and the whole body is carved with rosewood 'fine' heart, exuding quiet sandalwood, which makes people involuntarily feel calm.
Clenching Ruyi in her hand slightly, Mu Qingya raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and left the Mu family, she is not just an ordinary 'girl', as the queen of 'jade' Han, her every step represents the majesty of a country, and she will not let anyone criticize her.
If anyone pays attention, the bearing of her body at this time has completely changed, if before, she was just cold and alienated, then now she makes people feel very complicated, sometimes it feels like she is close in front of her eyes, within reach, sometimes it feels like she is far away in the clouds, high above, the cold smile on the 'lips' has been replaced by a decent arc, although the arc is kind, graceful, and noble, but it is a little less ordinary relaxed, wanton, this may be the price of stepping into the imperial city.
"The queen mother enters the palace!"
A report resounded throughout the palace, and Duanmu Lingyu stood on the high steps behind the Chengqian 'gate', watching the fiery phoenix ring into the palace like a red 'colored' dragon. Today's weather is particularly strange, as if the heavens pity this couple of newcomers have suffered a lot, and finally 'show' a smile, red 'color' clouds hang all over the sky, and the fiery red sedan chair is set off together, beautiful as a dream.
Clenched his fists slightly, Duanmu Lingyu's heart was 'excited': "Qingya, you finally belong to me." ”
The sedan chair stopped, and the bride stepped forward one after another, and greeted Mu Qingya with a particularly respectful action: "Respectfully invite the queen to get off the sedan chair." ”
Mu Qingya stepped down from the phoenix, although she is the mother of a country, it stands to reason that Duanmu Lingyu should still 'shoot' three arrows on the phoenix chariot before she gets off the sedan chair to demonstrate, but he ordered this step to be omitted early, and the holy decree said that he was afraid that the 'shooting' arrow would damage the blessing of the god and the 'woman', but she knew that the reason why he did this was entirely because of his own words.
When she watched Duanmu Mingli get married in Canglan, she said this custom, saying that such a custom was very unfair, and the bride was originally married with a respectful mood, but before she got off the sedan chair, she was dismounted, which must have made the bride feel very uncomfortable. It was because of his own words that he actually changed the rules of the queen's marriage, how could she not be moved.
Under the shaking hijab, a figure not far in front of her could be faintly seen, Mu Qingya let Xi Niang lead her to approach the hall, and then felt that her fingers were grasped by a warm and familiar hand, and the corners of her 'lips' rose unconsciously: "Duanmu Lingyu." ”
"I'm here." Duanmu Lingyu clenched his palms, his eyes were full of a pure smile, "Qingya, follow me." ”
The mood calmed down instantly, Mu Qingya bent her eyes slightly, and slowly walked into the Chengqian Hall with his strength. Not all queens can walk through the Chengqian 'gate' and salute in the Chengqian Hall to get married, and only the Empress Yuan, that is, the emperor's first wife, has this treatment among the queens of the past dynasties.
In the worship of heaven and earth, the two equally proud people have never been so respectful and sincere. Mu Qingya felt that her palms were sweating slightly, after two lifetimes, she finally found her own home, and finally stopped being alone.
Duanmu Lingyu's mood was also full of emotion, they had been together for a long time before, through reunion, sweetness, pain, separation, and even several times with death, fortunately they persevered, even if they were thousands of miles apart, even in the face of great difficulties and obstacles, they did not give up.
"Husband and wife 'intersect' worship." Hearing the ceremonial official's loud singing, Mu Qingya's movements paused slightly, shouldn't the queen salute the emperor at the end of the salute to show her respect to the emperor?
The smile in Duanmu Lingyu's eyes became deeper and deeper, Qingya was his wife, and she was the one who could stand side by side with him and share the world, so he wouldn't let her bow down alone, because that would be an insult to her.
The bride's whispered reminder came to her ears, and Mu Qingya knelt on the futon with the power of the bride's guidance, and bowed to each other with Duanmu Lingyu.
"Licheng!"
The voice of the ceremonial officer was full of joy, which made the hearts of the two of them tremble. Duanmu Lingyu approached Mu Qingya and raised his hand to lift her hijab, only then did he realize that his fingers were trembling slightly because of nervousness: "Qingya." ”
As soon as her eyes lit up, Mu Qingya looked up and looked into those deep eyes, the joy and excitement in them were like a boundless lake submerging her whole person, and her ears remembered his words: A couple for a lifetime......
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live the queen's mother, thousand years, thousands of years, thousands of years."
The loud sound of worship brought the two back to their senses, Mu Qingya turned her head to look at the square outside the Chengqian Palace, at this time, the square was divided into two sides full of 'jade' cold officials, at this time, whether they were reluctant or not, they had to wear court clothes, wear court beads, perform the etiquette of three kneels and nine knocks, and greet her officially into the middle palace with the most grand and grand appearance.
This day is Mu Qingya's most tired day, and it is also her most down-to-earth day, because this day is accompanied by Duanmu Lingyu, every time, whenever she raises her head, she can always see that pair of eyes full of pampering and smiling, like the brightest stars in the night sky, even if the night is dark, it is still guiding the direction ahead.
She was glad that Duanmu Lingyu was the same. He will never forget the 'agitation' and shock in his heart the moment he saw her walk down from Fengren. He knew that Mu Qingya was preparing his wedding dress, and even had the idea of peeking several times, but in the end he endured it, because he didn't want to destroy the surprise that Mu Qingya brought him, but now he faintly regretted it, he should have taken a sneak look in advance, otherwise he wouldn't have to be so embarrassed.
At that time, he froze in place, and only stared at her slowly coming. The civil and military officials couldn't notice his gaffe, because they were far away, but he knew it very well in his heart, because he came back to his senses after Wuping called him four times. The moment he saw Qingya coming over, he really thought that he was marrying a god 'girl' who fell from the sky, wearing a wedding dress cut by colorful clouds and clouds, absorbing the spirit of all things in heaven and earth, sea, roads and mountains...... He didn't know what to use to describe her beauty. can only say one thing, if you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?
After worshipping her ancestors, Mu Qingya lowered her eyes slightly, and let Duanmu Lingyu take off the phoenix crown on her head, put on the crown that symbolized the queen's identity, and took over the queen's phoenix seal and treasure book, which can be regarded as completing the last step of becoming a queen.
From leaving Mu's house in the morning to the end of the last procedure, it took nearly four hours, and although there were people supporting her along the way, Mu Qingya's tired 'legs' were still sore.
It wasn't until she returned to the Flying Feather Pavilion that Mu Qingya relaxed.
"Miss, be careful with the steps." Le Qi held Mu Qingya tightly and carried most of the weight on her body.
Entering the inner hall and sitting on the 'bed', Mu Qingya breathed a sigh of relief: "This day has finally come." ”
Le Qi's eyes were full of smiles: "The queen has worked hard." ”
Mu Qingya smiled, glared at her, and glanced at the surrounding grandmothers: "Don't be flamboyant here, let them all go out, it's uncomfortable to hang here, I'll call them when the emperor comes later." ”
Several grandmothers are Duanmu Lingyu's henchmen, so they naturally know Mu Qingya's status in the emperor's heart, and when they hear her order like this, they don't care if they are in line with the rules or not, they directly and respectfully retreat.
Mu Qingya breathed a sigh of relief, leaned on the side of the 'bed' and let Le Qi help her pinch her shoulders, and felt that Le Qi's movements were getting slower and slower for a while, and looked up slightly suspiciously: "Le Qi, what's wrong?" ”
Le Qi was startled and grinned, but as if she had thought of something embarrassing, her smile was very distorted: "Slave maid...... Slave ......"
"What the hell is going on, say." Seeing Le Qi like this, Mu Qingya knew that she had something in her heart, and gave a straightforward order.
Le Qi knelt on the ground with a puff, and said loudly: "The slave and maid meet the queen's mother, and wish the mother and the emperor to grow old, be happy for a hundred years, and give birth to a noble son early." Then he got up with a hula, 'pulled' out a book with a 'fine' binding from the placket, and handed it to Mu Qingya with a brush, and then turned his head and ran out despite her surprise.
Mu Qingya was stunned by Le Qi's movements, and it took a while to come back to her senses, looking down at the book in her hand, her eyes were suspicious, and when she opened the page, her face was red with a bang, and her fingers almost tore off the page with a slight force, the book ...... Unexpectedly...... It turned out to be 'Spring'|Palace|Picture!
Thinking of Le Qi's awkward look, Mu Qingya finally understood, with a pair of eyes full of shame, this Le Qi actually carried this book for a day, and was not afraid of accidentally falling out, if people saw this book, what would they think of her as a queen? Mu Qingya's flustered six gods were ownerless, and she didn't notice a figure in the room, and she didn't come back to her senses until her fingers were loosened and the books were 'pulled' out.
A joking voice sounded, with an irrepressible smile:
"The lady is actually reading this book, but what is the doubt" and "confusion" is there, but do you need the husband to help the lady solve the "confusion"?"
