All kinds of red tape, Ruyi is excited and solemn, but also feels tired. However, the tiredness is also painted with gold, like a smile on the face, no matter how sour, it will not wither.

The real wedding night is on this night.

Although he had already been married once, the emperor was still solemn, and the cave room was set up in the dormitory of the Heart Cultivation Palace. Since a month before the wedding, the emperor has stopped summoning concubines in the palace of nourishing hearts, as if he is just waiting for the wedding night.

When Ruyi slowly stepped onto the familiar steps of the Heart Cultivation Palace, she had a momentary illusion, as if this place was her first time. How not? In the past, she was just one of the concubines, wrapped in a brocade quilt, revealing only a handful of green silk tactfully, and was carried into the dormitory, prostrate from the emperor's feet.

Compared to that time, maybe I really have too much dignity at this moment. Ruyi thought quietly, perhaps, what she is fighting for is only the dignity of this little survival. Of course, this may be too extravagant.

She walked slowly through the steps, so quiet that even the sound of the corner of her skirt brushing against the jade platform could be heard clearly. When he raised his face, the first thing he saw was Ling Yunche's face, he smiled and was pleased, and curtsied: "Queen Mother Wan'an." ”

In the past two days, the voice in his ears has been "Queen Mother", and he even heard himself in a trance, and at this moment, it was called out of his mouth, and it had a bit of real meaning. Ruyi smiled: "Guard Ling." ”

Ling Yunche got up to greet him: "Weichen is here to welcome Niangniang Chitose." Congratulations to the lady for getting her wish. He leaned sideways slightly, "This road is not easy to walk, fortunately, the mother has arrived." ”

Ruyi Yingran smiled: "Thank you, wait for this palace to come here." ”

He arched his hand and looked solemn: "Weichen will always accompany Niangniang to where she wants to go." ”

If you bow your head, you don't say much. They understand each other, why do they need to say more, just like when she is sad, Ling Yunche only silently follows behind her, which is the best companionship and comfort.

Ruyi walked to the outside of the hall, and it was Li Yu who bowed down to greet her: "Queen Mother, the interior is properly arranged, please step inside." ”

Ruyi pushed the door in, and the dormitory was decorated with dazzling red and gold, and even the hanging cloud brocade silk tent was also twisted with red gold hook curtains, decorated with cherry red tassels. The pavilion seems to have become a colorful ocean, and people have become a point, blending into it, and it is impossible to distinguish the color. Ruyi then remembered that she had changed out of the queen's auspicious dress during the day, and according to the clothes sent by the emperor, she put on the red brocade robe of the eight regiments of dragon and phoenix double happiness. The brocade robe is made of extremely light and soft beads on the brocade, the touch is slightly cool, the cuffs and the collar are worn with gold threads, snow-colored beads are densely embroidered with blue clouds, passionflower and golden clouds. The bottom of the skirt is made of twisted silver wire and rhinestones, showing the changing color of azure and blur. The shoulders, front and back chests and front and back hems are embroidered with gold dragon and phoenix with eight clusters, surrounded by branches and thousands of leaves and begonia peonies, and dotted on each petal is a small and full rose crystal and sea pearl. In addition, the whole body is decorated with auspicious patterns of red double happiness and the word "longevity", and the broken beads and tassels are like starlight, revealing the charm and luxury. The soft Luo skirt under the brocade robe is a harmonious tulip color, transparent but with a light gold and silver color, like a shallow glow at sunrise, as bright as a flowing glow.

This is not an ordinary queen dress, but the emperor personally allowed the internal affairs office to tailor it, only for this night. Even the beaded ornaments worn are full of exquisite and unique thoughts. In the middle of the green cloud mustache is a nine-turn beaded red gold double luan inlaid with jade inlaid with seven treasures and bright gold step shake, its tail pendant has three slender jade flowers, the deep blue jade glow is brilliant, reflecting the hidden brilliance between the eyebrows of the person and the brilliance is shining. The bun is decorated with a pair of tassel hairpins, and the top of the tassel is a dotted emerald bat, and the bat's mouth holds three strings of flowing cloud pearl ruby pendant horn long spikes, all of which are carved with red coral and fall to the shoulder. Behind the bun are three pairs of small Hinaga piano hairpins, all of which are made of white jade, which are warm and radiant among the clouds and temples. Because Ruyi Su likes green plums, the scattered bead flowers are scattered with plum blossoms as the theme. The palace has always loved to use flowers to hairpin, Ruyi abandoned the peony in the flowers offered by the Internal Affairs Office, and only used a "drunken fairy branch" rose in full bloom, such as the first bloom of red clouds, charming and beautiful.

At that time, Rong Pei said with a smile: "There are already peonies on the clothes, and it is customary to use peonies again." Or the roses are generous and chic, and also tell others that the flowers are red and fragrant but have thorns, and no one should have the wrong idea. ”

Yes. Walking step by step like this, who is still an ignorant Qingshui lily, let others climb and fold. No matter how beautiful it is, it is also thorny after all.

Li Yu led Ruyi to sit down and said softly: "The queen mother sits down, and the emperor will be there later." ”

Ruyi sat down quietly, the apricots and red Su weaving dragons chasing the phoenixes chasing the golden brocade on the gold wide couch were spread smoothly, and the lotus patterns around the frame overlapped and twisted into graceful branches, as if the red clouds and flowers were spreading out. In the center of the quilt was pressed a handful of gold and jade inlaid with gemstones Ruyi and a red and round apple. She instinctively touched the four corners of the quilt, and sure enough, dates, peanuts, longan, and chestnuts were placed underneath, taking the meaning of her early birth of a precious son.

Ruyi was stunned, and slowly tears welled up in her eyes, she knew that she couldn't cry on such a day, and endured it again, but she didn't expect that after the heavy disappointment and hope, the emperor would still treat her like this, and return her to the wedding night again in the way of folk marriage.

Because, that's what she's missing. When she entered the house as a side Fujin, in the end it was also a concubine's room, where there was a red candle shining high, and the shadow was in pairs, at that time, the most beautiful thing in her room was just pink. And pink, after all, is the color of the side room that can't be on the countertop.

Now, the emperor is making up for her past debts, so that she has no regrets.

Immersed in the sighs of the past, the emperor quietly entered at some point, stared at her and said, "What do you want to be so distracted? ”

Ruyi was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "Your Majesty." ”

The emperor smiled warmly, his eyebrows were surging, and he seemed to have infinite affection: "Tonight, I am not long lived, but an ordinary husband." He was a little ashamed, "Ruyi, I really want to give you a real wedding night." But after asking the Ministry of Rites again, the emperor can only hold a big wedding in Kunning Palace if he canonizes the queen for the first time after ascending the throne, otherwise he can't. I think about it, the rules of the ancestors cannot be changed, so I will promise you a folk wedding ceremony, and the Ming media is marrying once. ”

Ruyi only felt that her heart was as soft as spring water, and she wanted to melt away: "Although the emperor did not come to marry the concubine in person, but at this moment, the concubine is already satisfied." ”

The emperor looked at her carefully and said gently: "The ordinary queen's dress is too rigid and serious, I hope to give you a happy night, so I specially instructed the Internal Affairs Office to make this dress, which not only has the regulations of the queen's dress, but also is gorgeous and charming." I hope that the queen I personally chose can be different. ”

Ruyi is gentle and lingering, as if she wants to melt away: "Even if you only wear it for one night, the concubines will treasure it." ”

The emperor took her by the hand and sat down side by side, high-fived her twice, and Fujia and Yuhu came in with a smile on their faces, pressing the emperor's right placket against Ruyi's left placket. Yuhu brought the prepared red jade wine cup and said, "Please ask the emperor and queen to drink a glass of wine." ”

Ruyi and the emperor looked at each other and smiled, took the wine cup and drank it interchangeably. Xu was in a hurry, and a drop of clear wine slipped from Ruyi's lips, and the emperor wiped it away with his hand and smiled gently.

Fu Jia happily served a plate of children and grandchildren, and curtled his knees and said: "Please ask the emperor and queen to use the children and grandchildren." ”

Ruyi took the silver chopsticks and picked it up and took a bite, and hurriedly frowned: "Oops, it's raw!" ”

Fu Jia laughed so much that the wrinkles on her face spread out: "It's hard to change the queen's words!" ”

Ruyi came back to her senses at this time, and her face turned red. The emperor was already laughing stupidly, so he also took a bite and said: "The queen said that it was raw, so it was naturally raw." ”

Fujia said: "I have already drunk a glass of wine, and my descendants have already eaten the dumplings, please ask the emperor and the queen to listen to the "Wedding Song". As she spoke, she opened the long window of the dormitory, and the four elderly princes in the courtyard outside the window sang the "Marriage Song". "Wedding Song" is divided into three sections, after each verse is sung, the elder Fu Jin on the left will cut a piece of meat and throw it to the sky, pour a cup of wine into the ground, for the enjoyment of the gods, wishing the emperor and the queen and the beauty of harmony.

Finally, the people dispersed, and the dormitory fell silent.

The emperor's eyes were as deep as Xu Yi, as if he wanted to engrave Ruyi into the deepest part of his eyes: "Ruyi, in the past two days, although I have personally decreed that you will be canonized as the queen, it is only at this moment that you are quiet opposite to me, and I feel that you have really become my queen." ”

Ruyi gently tilted her head: "The concubine is the same as the emperor, as if in a dream, and only now do I feel that my dream has come true." ”

The emperor gently held Ruyi's hand, lowered his head and kissed it, and the warmth of the palm spread to his heart inch by inch, warming his skin and melting his heart.

The emperor held her hand, and his voice was low and calm, as if the green mountains were wandering, and he did not move: "Ruyi, I can allow you the supreme position among the women in the world, but I can't allow you to be a single-minded husband and wife. Even in the past, now, or in the future, I can't allow you. This is where I can't stand you, and that's what I can't give you. ”

Ruyi lowered her head slightly, and there was an ethereal cigarette in the gilded lily ding, which was as light as a mist, curling out. She had never realized that such a light smoke would also have a faint ink-like shadow, enveloping people's hearts.

In this way, she didn't know that she didn't know in the past, and there were groups of wives and concubines all the way, and she couldn't and didn't dare to expect anything. Even if it was a midnight dream, the moment I woke up alone, I had hoped for it like this, but I didn't dare to take it seriously. But now that I heard him say this in person, even if it was reasonable and expected, I was a little disappointed.

She snuggled up to the emperor's chest and said softly: "What the emperor said, the concubines all understand." What the concubines seek is never position and honor. ”

The emperor bowed his head slightly, and his chin rested against her smooth eyebrows, as if sighing: "But Ruyi, no matter whether the emperor's mother opposes it or not, I will make you the queen." Maybe the position of queen is not the most important, what I can give you is a sincere intention in my heart. Perhaps, this sincerity is not as good as the glory and wealth and power of the harem, but this is the only thing that can be controlled by myself and not by others. ”

Ruyi's heart shook, as if looking at a stranger, looking at the man in front of her who had been with her for more than ten years, she didn't know how suspicious he was, nor did she not know that there were countless people around him. But she deeply felt that even the longest moment by his side could not compare to the mixed feelings in her heart at this moment, and she poured out her sincerity.

He is just Hongli, and she is just Qingying, the most ordinary pair of men and women in the red dust. There is no ambition, no sitting on the world, and no intrigues, life and death. There is only one man and one woman, and this moment is sincere.

Ruyi was slightly tearful, leaning on his chest tightly, listening to his heartbeat sink into his ears, just thinking, pouring this life, having this moment, is enough. She was so concentrating, stretched out her hand and slowly untied her robe, a gold thread embroidered hibiscus mandarin duck purse, the purse was decorated with red gold and red silk tassels, the mandarin ducks were in pairs, and the flowers bloomed and stalked, which was a literary brilliance of flowers and full moon shadows.

She gently untied the purse, took out the things in the same way, and whispered: "This is a pair of earrings that the concubine wore on the day she married the emperor, this is the first time the emperor wrote a letter to the concubine, and this is the jade pendant given by the emperor when the concubine was born on her first birthday in the palace......

The emperor picked up a thin carmine paper bag and shook it open, and there were two strands of hair, one thick and one thin, each tied with a thin red rope, side by side, showing that they belonged to two different people. The emperor's eyes suddenly shone with a star-like light, and he burst out: "I remember this. This is the night of your first marriage, and I will cut off a strand of hair with you to save it for the next day. You're still alive! ”

The smiling lip line pulled an arc of pear vortex on Ruyi's face: "The concubine has been carefully preserved, even before entering the cold palace, it was also handed over to Hailan for safekeeping." Thankfully, we haven't missed it. She was a little embarrassed, and led the sleeves of her colorful robe to cover her lips, "It's just that that year, the concubine married the emperor as a side blessing, so these two strands of hair can be placed in one place, which is already the emperor's special pity, but it is not feasible to tie the hair." ”

The emperor sighed slightly: "That year's wedding, the only one who could marry me was his wife, so I and Lang were the gift of tying the hair." ”

On such a bright night, there is always a little sadness when talking about the deceased. The Emperor quickly put aside these emotions and said in a harmonious voice, "But tonight, you are finally my wife." ”
