A pair of bright eyes sparkled with water, Ruyi cherished the things in the palm of her hand, and sighed with emotion: "The concubines think left and right, the emperor has tried his best to make the concubines happy for today, and all the concubines are given by the emperor, and there is nothing to repay, so they can only keep the things worth cherishing in the old years one by one, so as to express the hearts of the concubines." ”

The emperor's eyes were full of emotion: "Who said you can't repay it?" These two hairs can't be knotted. He slipped his fingers lightly, slid to her bun and pulled out a thin strand, took the small silver scissors on the rosewood platform, and cut off the tips of his own braid one by one, carefully knotted it with a red rope against the scorching open flame, put it in the carmine paper and folded it together, "That's the imperfection of the past, this is the knot that was sent back tonight, and it will be saved together." ”

Ruyi looked at it in a daze, tears gently overflowed her eyelashes, she just hung her head blindly, shook her head and said, "The emperor can't." Juvenile knotting, the original husband and wife can tie the knot. Concubines are not. ”

The emperor froze his gentle eyes deeply: "I know that I am not the original match with you, and the gift of tying the hair is not very appropriate, so I only take the meaning of 'knot the hair as a husband and wife, and there is no doubt about love'." ”

The inexplicable emotions were filled with great sweetness, and a trace of sourness in the sweetness, she was speechless, she could only feel the moistness and heat of her tears, and her heart was like a gentle surge, murmuring: "Knot hair and know that you want to grow old to the end." Manchurians can't cut their hair easily, the emperor is for the concubines, and the concubines know it. ”

He smiled and said, "Yes." The hair of the man is precious, and if there is no decisive thing, he must not break the hair, otherwise it will be disobedient. But tonight I rejoice with you. He walked slowly to the pillow of acacia flowers and jade, leaned over and took out a relief ivory brocade box, opened the lotus petal jewel gold button, and in it was a thin silk handkerchief, only a few red lychees and a few pale cyan cherry blossoms were embroidered. He sighed: "Qingying, Hongli, and coexisting here is your best reward." He kissed her lightly, as gentle as a butterfly perched on a petal, "After you left the cold palace, I told you that I hope to go on with you for a long time." Ruyi, now you are my wife, born in the same bed, died in the same cave, and will always be with me forever, forever and ever. ”

She was speechless to respond, only looked at each other with moved tears, and reciprocated deeply, and whispered: "May I be like the stars and the moon, and the night will be bright and clean." What the emperor said, the concubines all remembered. She lowered her head, a little helpless, but finally looked up to him, and said earnestly, "The concubine knows that in the past, the concubine could not choose the people around the emperor. There is only one sentence for the concubine. ”

The emperor hugged her and asked, "What?" ”

She was solemn and earnest: "The concubines don't dare to ask the emperor for one heart, but they want this life to be long, not to bully each other, not to lose each other!" No matter where he goes, the emperor always believes in his concubines, just as his concubines believe in the emperor. ”

The emperor was also deeply indignant: "Ruyi, this life is long, do not deceive each other, do not lose each other!" You don't joke, this gentleman is not only the king of the Son of Heaven, but also your husband on your pillow. ”

Ruyi was indescribably moved, a heart seemed to be swept by a wave, retreating but closer, only great joy and warmth wrapped her tightly, let her let go, to forgive, to forget.

The emperor's kiss fell, and it was a familiar couple who knew each other well. She responded with a gentle low chant, watching the red tent fall softly and wantonly, and gently closed her eyes.

Only the remaining dragon and phoenix candles, red shadows, illuminate a beautiful room.

The candles in the hall became darker and darker, and finally only a pair of candles remained. The eunuch who kept vigil opened the futon and the quilt under the porch. Li Yu yawned and said, "The emperor and the queen are asleep." Disperse y'all, too. Then the little eunuch took off half of the water-red silk lantern hanging under the eaves, and the guards guarding outside the Heart Cultivation Hall also dispersed two columns. Ling Yunche is also among them.

Li Yu arched his hand and said, "It's been a hard day. Lord Ling should go back and rest early. ”

Ling Yunche said: "Where can I compare to the hard work of Gonggong Li, the emperor's wedding is inseparable from you up and down for a moment." The two exchanged pleasantries, and then they also dispersed.

The weather at the beginning of August, even if it was late at night, had a slight residual heat. After the hustle and bustle of the past few days, I only feel that the Forbidden City is peaceful as if no one is there. Ling Yunche couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad at the moment, but it was like a cold moonlight poured into his heart, as if he was shining on something clearly, but he was confused.

Thinking like this, he didn't know where his feet went, it was not the guard room where he usually rested and lived, but when he looked up, he was at Kunning Palace. He thought about it, and Zhao Jiuxiao was also here on an errand, so he went into the room where he lived. Zhao Jiuxiao was very happy to see him, and the two poured an urn of wine, set aside a few dishes, and drank each other. Zhao Jiuxiao bumped him with his arm and said, "You are very serious in front of the emperor, and today is the emperor's happy day, why are you unhappy?" Did you watch the emperor marry and want to marry yourself? ”

Ling Yunche smiled: "Just think like this yourself, don't get involved with me!" ”

Zhao Jiuxiao rubbed his hands and said, "Don't say it, I really think about it for a girl." ”

Ling Yunche was curious: "Who?" Is it the palace maid in the palace? ”

Zhao Jiuxiao leaned closer and said, "It's Lan Cui in the palace of Concubine Ling, that look and that figure, I ......"

Ling Yun glanced at him and said, "It's just someone else, if it's the Eternal Longevity Palace, don't even think about it!" ”

Zhao Jiuxiao sighed: "You are too careful!" If people go to high places, they can't all say that she is wrong. Are you so jealous of Concubine Ling? ”

Ling Yunche was cold, and Zhao Jiuxiao was also bored: "It's been a long time, and you're not happy for Concubine Ling?" I was also the emperor and established a new one, do you feel sorry for her being left out. ”

Ling Yunche drank a few large glasses of wine, it was a burning knife outside the gate, the entrance was hot, and it was hot to the intestines, but it was also easy to get up. He was a little groggy: "Empress? Do you think it's good to have a queen? The former Empress Xiaoxian was born in a famous family, and she didn't live tremblingly? I am distressed, and I am distressed that those who sit in this seat will suffer. ”

Zhao Jiuxiao was also a little dizzy, poked him in the chest, and said, "Whose mother-in-law is distressed!" What are you feeling sorry for? At this age, I don't have a family, what does it mean to be alone? ”

Ling Yunche pressed his heart: "I don't know what I'm alone for; I don't even know when she fell into my heart. Such a shadow that can only be far away, but not close. When she was sad, I only dared to look at her from afar, but I understood her sadness. Now that I see her, I am naturally happy, but when I am happy, I am still worried about what she will encounter in the future. ”

Zhao Jiuxiao ate chopsticks beef, lay on the table and said groggyly: "Look, look, you still think about Concubine Ling, aren't you?" ”

Ling Yunche smiled bitterly for a moment, raised his head, and poured the wine into his throat. Let the smell of wine kill the spirit, permeating the heart.

When Fujia returned to Cining Palace, it was late at night, and she quietly entered, but saw that the lights in the warm pavilion were bright, and the Queen Mother was concentrating on her cheeks, and her eyes were slightly closed. Hearing her coming, the Queen Mother just asked softly: "Are you back?" ”

Fujia was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Why hasn't the Queen Mother been resettled?" The hour is getting late. ”

The Queen Mother smiled faintly, opened her eyes and said, "I know." It's just that after two days of noise, I always feel that the sound of joy is still noisy in my ears, buzzing, and people don't want to sleep. ”

Fujia hurriedly said, "Then the slave maid go and order some soothing incense." ”

The Queen Mother waved her hand, stood up, and said, "When people are old, they have a lot of things on their minds, and it is not easy to fall asleep." You talk to the mourners. ”

Fujia answered "yes" and sat down on the Queen Mother's lap. The Queen Mother was distracted for a moment, as if she was talking to herself: "Is it all right in the Heart Cultivation Palace?" ”

The corners of Fu Jia's mouth unconsciously added a smile: "It's all right." At this time, I'm afraid it has already been settled. The cave room is full of candles, and the emperor really has a heart for the queen. ”

The Queen Mother bowed her head and said: "The emperor is willing to work hard, it is really rare." Her gaze fell on the empty spot in the distance, and there was a faint hint of indulgent smile, "It's good to be treated like this and be treated with care." Ulanara Ruyi is blessed in the end. ”

Fujia lowered her face and said respectfully: "No matter how good the queen's blessings are, how can she compare with the queen mother." ”

The Queen Mother tilted her head slightly, and a string of bi-edged double-branched hairpins hung down the sapphire tassels swaying slightly: "The mourning family has never been a queen, and it can't be compared with her." It's just the emperor's intentions, the man's intentions......"

Fujia lowered her eyebrows: "The sincerity that the Queen Mother has seen is definitely better than the emperor's treatment of the queen today." ”

The Queen Mother seemed to have a thousand feelings, and there was light in her eyes: "Yes." It's just that I'm afraid that the sincerity will be too short, and I can't keep it if I reach out and keep it. ”

Fujia smiled: "But in just a moment, it has already won countless in the world." ”

There was an intoxicated smile on the Queen Mother's lips, and after a moment, she regained her former calm and composure: "Yes, I hope that the happiness of men and women can last for a long time, not a momentary pleasure." ”

Ruyi slept beside the emperor and dreamed all night. In the dream, there is the emperor's hand and never tired of looking at each other, there are Lang's tearful eyes and complaints, and there is also the company of Yun Che and Hailan by his side. But what I dreamed of the most was the smile on my aunt's lips. My aunt was wearing the same queen's crown dress as herself, and her expression was full of joy and sorrow, and she was even more pleased. The voice seemed to be far and near, and it was my aunt's advice: "The Ulanala clan must not be abolished!" Ruyi, the Ulanala clan can no longer have abandoned women! ”

She finally breathed a sigh of relief, her aunt, who had only a few relationships with her, was so deeply alive in her memory, and it had a profound impact on her today.

When she woke up from her dream, she faintly felt that the night was as cold as water, as if she was floating on her side. The emperor was still asleep, with a stretched smile on his eyebrows, probably a good dream. She sat up in her cloak and realized that the window sash of the dormitory had opened slightly, and a cool breeze slowly penetrated. She was about to get up and close the window, when suddenly the blood around her body was cold, and she froze.

The dragon and phoenix candle offered on the desk, I don't know when, the flame on the phoenix candle has been annihilated, only a burnt candle wick remains, reflecting a lot of candle tears, like a tearful blind.

The fear in my heart suddenly cracked into the ice, it's not that I haven't heard of it, the dragon and phoenix candle will be lit until dawn on the wedding night, if one of them is extinguished first, it means that one of the husband and wife dies early, or breaks halfway, and love is absolutely inseparable. Although the folk rumors are somewhat nonsense, who can guarantee that the husband and wife will grow old in vain and die in the same year and month, but it is really unlucky to die in the middle of the night.

She turned around and saw that the emperor was still asleep, so she hurriedly closed the window sash, carefully inspected it again, and re-lit the phoenix candle. After doing all this, she felt her hands tremble a little.

It turned out that she was still afraid, she was so afraid, afraid that the relationship between husband and wife would be severed. Ruyi returned to the emperor's side and snuggled up to him, as if only his warmth could remind him that all the beauty had just begun.
