Chapter 176: Out of the Plug (1)

It was early one morning in June, and the road from the Imperial Palace to the north gate of the capital was crowded with people watching the excitement. Today is the day when the county lord of Anping went to Beiqiang and his relatives, early in the morning by the Beijing Praetorian Guard sent several teams of soldiers, sprinkled water and swept dust along the way, and the big red felt was spread from the gate of the palace to the north gate.

This is a rare grand occasion for the people of the capital in their lives, and everyone is crowded in the direction of Miyagi.

This time, Beiqiang asked to marry the county lord, in addition to preparing enough gold and treasures as a dowry, but also gave Emperor Tan 5,000 horses, especially sweat and blood horses.

Although Beiqiang and Datan did not fight before, but there are conflicts between the two countries from time to time, most of the Beiqiang people should live on nomadism, and in winter, there are small groups of Beiqiang people who go south to plunder the Datan people, and everywhere they go is like a hurricane blowing, and people and animals are not left.

Now that the two countries have signed a marriage contract, the two countries are celebrating, and the king of Beiqiang has specially sent a large army to exterminate several bandits who often go south to harass Datan, and will also retreat 50 miles from the border army to show the meaning of truce.

As early as two days after the decree was issued, Qi Pan was accepted into Jingren Palace by Concubine Xian. Although the lady had discussed the matter of Li Dai Taostiff with Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian did not inform Emperor Tan of the truth. Concubine Xian knew that Emperor Tan treated Xiaoyu quite differently, and was worried that Emperor Ru Tan would not agree to let Xiaoyu go to get along if he knew about it, so after thinking about it, she still felt that she was hiding it from Emperor Tan.

Although Emperor Tan was named Qi Pan as the county lord, Emperor Tan allowed everything to be prepared in accordance with the rules of the princess and relatives, such as the sedan chair, the guard of honor and the wedding dress. Therefore, according to the regulations, Qi Pan must enter the palace in advance to receive the guidance of the palace rules, and when the auspicious day arrives, he will marry from the palace.

Xiaoyu naturally couldn't enter the palace together, so she chose a suitable day, and asked Mrs. to fulfill her promise in public with the contract of the year and let her leave.

This is naturally also part of Xiaoyu's plan, in case there are many people in the mansion, she deliberately made the matter public, so that everyone knows that the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion decided to make peace a few days ago, and the second lady left the Guogong Mansion.

At this moment, Xiao Yu was dressed as a palace maid and stood with other palace maids. This was also arranged by Concubine Xian, so that Xiaoyu mixed in with the palace maids who accompanied the marriage.

Although she knew that for Qi Pan, today's marriage was just a play, but she still regretted that she couldn't see the day when Qi Pan dressed up to get married. Mrs. and Grandpa Guo entered the palace early in the morning to marry Qi Pan.

Qi Pan, who was dressed in red makeup, wore a five-phoenix pile of gold and silver stacked colorful crowns, with honeysuckle between his eyebrows, and was dressed in a wedding dress embroidered with gold phoenix and begonia regiments.

Because Qi Pan had to be replaced, the wedding girl became a white hibiscus and white rong, and Qi Pan's girl would wait for her outside the city, and as soon as Qi Pan arrived at the agreed place, she would be able to set off and go to Mrs. Madame's grandfather.

Qi Pan, who was dressed up, first bid farewell to Emperor Tan and Empress, and after the emperor said some clichés as usual, Qi Pan walked in front of Duke An Guo and his wife.

"Daughters say goodbye to their father and mother!" Qi Panying bowed down and bowed three times seriously. Although she knew that it was just a scene, Madame still couldn't help but redden.

After saying goodbye to my parents, it's time to go. A married teaching grandmother covered Qi Pan with a hijab. Qi Pan walked out of the hall with a fan in his hand and was helped by Bai Fubai Rong.

Outside the main hall, the second prince led the 3,000 people of the Imperial Forest Army to stand in a line, this time to send off relatives in the north, you can go out to experience, it is a very big opportunity for the second prince who has not been out of the capital when he grows up.

In the middle of them, is a vermilion painted gold Luan sedan chair, the sedan chair is decorated with golden cloud phoenix flower patterns, the four sides of the sedan chair are open, only covered by bead curtains, the bead curtain is decorated with various colored flowers, looking from afar, as the colorful clouds hold the Luan sedan chair in general.

Qi Pan entered the sedan chair and sat down, Bai Shao and Bai Rong followed both sides of the sedan chair on both sides, and the eight eunuchs lifted the sedan chair together, and the ceremonial official sang: "The auspicious time has come, and the county lord gets up the sedan chair."

First of all, a cyan big Luo umbrella opened the way in front, and dozens of palace maids wearing pearl hairpins and red Luo silk and golden curtains rode horses in two teams and followed closely behind Luo umbrella. Then there is the sedan chair, behind the sedan chair, there are dozens of palace maids dressed in gorgeous clothes holding the red Luo silk gold palm fan with both hands, covering the sedan chair.

This procession was followed by a hundred and twenty dowry chests, carried by uniformed guardsmen, each with an open lid and filled with dowry.

The first box is placed in the red gold jade cloud head Ruyi pair, the second eaves bed is a pair of acacia mandarin duck white jade pillows given by the queen, followed by the palace rewards, as well as the royal gift of various colors of silk and satin, gold and stone jade, calligraphy and painting antiques, all in one, dizzying.

At the end of the dowry procession were the Imperial Guards led by the Second Prince.

Beiqiang's welcoming envoy was served by Murong Hua, Beiqiang was far away, and Murong Hua's identity was just right, so he was the one to serve. He stood outside the palace gate, dressed in a Beiqiang dress, with a long body, as if he had grown from a teenager to a young man.

As soon as the team of relatives came out of the palace, the people who were waiting outside to watch the lively people were thunderous, and they were amazed by the richness of the county lord's dowry and the exquisiteness of the royal sedan chair.

Qi Pan sat in the sedan chair, the hijab covered her sight, and the people who watched the excitement outside could only see a slender figure through the bead curtain under the cover of layers of red Luo silk and gold fans, and through the bead curtain, she vaguely saw a slender figure, dressed in a costume, sitting in the sedan chair.

Everyone talked about it, and they all regretted that the hijab covered the face of the county lord, but this glimpse can make people feel that the woman with a graceful appearance must be a peerless beauty.

There were too many onlookers, the whole Luan drove very slowly, the entire East Street was surrounded by people, and the façade of the street and even the roofs were full of people watching the excitement. Some people even stood on the second floor, condescendingly, and threw the flowers in their hands to Luanjia.

Before he was halfway there, the flowers he received were spread all over Luanjia. The second prince hurried over on horseback, beckoned the royal forest army behind him to protect Luanjia, and drove away the people who tried to get close to Luanjia.

Usually less than half an hour away, this time it took more than two hours to walk out of the north gate. According to the regulations, the team of relatives will only be replaced by a carriage when they go to the Shili Pavilion outside the city, and the dowry will be loaded into the car.

Xiaoyu made an agreement with his wife to exchange Qi Pan in Shili Pavilion. At this time, Xiaoyu was holding a Luo fan and following the sedan chair hard. For Xiao Yu, who has practiced for several years, it is easy to walk such a little way.

She didn't expect that Murong Hua would be a greeting envoy, she hadn't seen her for a long time, Murong Hua seemed to have lost a lot of weight, with straight shoulders, thin waist, and handsome face, she would definitely fascinate thousands of girls in her previous life.

The accompanying imperial doctors and officials had already rushed to Shili Pavilion in advance to wait, and Imperial Doctor Zhou was naturally no exception. He looked at the slender figure in the county lord's sedan chair with a haggard face, and his lips trembled slightly involuntarily.

Although he could only see a figure, Imperial Physician Zhou still recognized it at a glance, and that figure was the person he had been thinking about for the past two years. He couldn't help but secretly regret that he was too obedient to his mother's words, if he had set his favorite woman two years in advance, why would he not be able to recognize each other today, he could only look at it from afar, and he couldn't even say a word.

Xiao Yu saw that Imperial Physician Zhou was tortured by lovesickness, and couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, if Imperial Physician Zhou found out that it was not Qi Pan, would he be ecstatic.

She was going to find a way to let Qi Pan and Imperial Physician Zhou meet later, and it was a long way to Beiqiang, so Imperial Physician Zhou had to send her out of Blackwater City before she could return to the capital.

Yue Gongzi will secretly follow the team with people, as early as three days ago, Yue Gongzi sold the shops in the capital, turned around, and infiltrated most of the main personnel from the rectification zero to the Beiqiang capital.

No matter how slow the sedan chair went, it finally came to the Shili Pavilion. The officials of the Ministry of Rites, who were already waiting there, led the rest of the marrying officials to meet the county lord.

Qi Pan waved his hand to get them up, and then Bai Shao and Bai Rong helped out of the sedan chair, and a delicate carriage painted with gold and phoenix had already been parked outside the sedan chair, and Qi Pan entered the carriage only to find that this carriage was exquisitely designed and very spacious, and it was not a problem for eight people to sit inside. The carriage is equipped with desks, chessboards, tea sets, books, etc., and considering that it will be a long journey, the seats of the carriage are wrapped with thick cotton pads, so it is not a problem to lie down and take a nap.

Because the dowry had to be reloaded, the entire team had to stay in Shili Pavilion for more than an hour. Qi Pan stayed in the carriage, estimating that the time was almost up, so he lifted his hijab and said to Bai Fu: "You go and find your second lady, just say that the county lord summoned you!" ”

Bai Fu bowed slightly, turned around and got out of the carriage, and she quickly found a small fish sitting under a tree in a daze in the crowd. She walked up to Xiao Yu and raised her voice slightly, "What? Can you comb your hair? Great, the county lord's hair is messed up, you hurry up and follow me to the carriage and get the county lord makeup done!" “

This sentence is the code they have agreed on before, and once Bai Fu says this sentence, it means that Qi Pan can act smoothly and act together.

"The slave can comb, good girl, take me to see it quickly!" Although there was no one next to him, Xiao Yu still acted according to the script with all his heart.

As soon as she got into the carriage, she changed clothes with Qi Pan with the help of Bai Fubai Rong. Fortunately, when changing carriages, Qi Pan should take off the wide and cumbersome dress and change into light clothes to adapt to the long journey.

Xiaoyu changed into a set of pink jacquard silk satin summer clothes, and then the three of them hurriedly helped Qi Pan to modify it.

After the two of them finished changing their makeup and cleaning up, Xiao Yu said to Bai Fu as planned: "You think of an excuse to call Imperial Doctor Zhou over, don't make too much noise, the less noticeable the better!" ”

Bai Fu nodded, picked up a teapot and went out. She walked out slowly, quietly observing that no one noticed her, Fang quickened her pace and walked towards the place where Imperial Doctor Zhou was resting.
