28. The emperor marries
Ning Qiwei rubbed her eyes, and when she stepped into the Taiwei Palace, she was almost startled by the scene in front of her: the entire Taiwei Hall was decorated with joy. Ning Qiwei walked into the Taiwei Hall in disbelief, and she was about to take a good look when a minister suddenly walked out of a corner covered by red cloth.
"What are you doing?" Ning Qiwei exclaimed at the minister who walked out. The minister hurriedly saluted: "See the emperor." Ning Qiwei walked up to the minister step by step and asked, "What are you hanging these red cloth strips for?" "The minister did his part for the emperor to choose a concubine." The minister raised his head, and it turned out to be Ding Keyuan.
Ning Qiwei sighed lightly and said, "When did I say that I wanted to choose a concubine?" "It was the prince who told his subordinates. Doesn't the emperor know? How is this possible. Ding Keyuan said incredulously. Ning Qiwei had a bad premonition: "Where is Uncle Huang?" "Your Majesty, are you still satisfied with the concubine selection ceremony arranged by the minister?" Ning Yu walked out of the side hall of the Taiwei Hall with a smile on his face.
"Uncle Huang, don't be in such a hurry." Ning Qiwei really wanted to dig a hole and escape now. Ning Yu "haha" smiled and said: "The soldiers are fast! Ha ha... What does the emperor think of the old minister's arrangement? "Very good, very good, but Uncle Huang, if you let me choose a concubine, you have to tell the world to choose a lady, right?" Otherwise, let's think about it in the long run! Ning Qiwei had a glimmer of hope.
"Your Majesty, don't worry about it. Yesterday, the minister asked the queen mother to edict the world to select the school-age ladies in the princes and generals' families, and now they have gathered in the side hall. Ning Yu said with a smile. Yes... This... That... What the... Didn't you say that the queen mother should be selected first, and then I would choose? "The only trace of luck left in Ning Qiwei's heart." At this point, the emperor can rest assured! The Queen Mother was in the side hall and had a family affair with the selected ladies. Ning Yu smiled with satisfaction.
"Hehe... Uncle Huang is really fast! But the selection of concubines is also a major event in the imperial court, and I want the ministers to participate in it! Ning Qiwei smirked. The ministers are separated from the remnants of the emperor. "A figure flashed from behind the red silk cloth that fell." Chen Liu Haiqing...""Chen Duan Li...""Chen Mo Xiao..."..."Chen Liang Rui saw the emperor. A familiar voice, a familiar figure, Ning Qiwei's heart trembled unconsciously.
Ning Qiwei took a few steps forward, walked in front of Liang Rui, looked Liang Rui up and down as if she was looking at an unknown object, and chuckled: "It's hard to get to the palace for a few days, and today I'm here for my concubine." Hehe! Liang Rui pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "I didn't mean to, the prince said that he had to let me come." "If you want to see me laugh, you don't have to say it so high-sounding." The moment Ning Qiwei turned around and walked away, she said in a low voice of hatred. "I... I..."Liang Rui stood behind Ning Qiwei, wanting to speak and stopping.
"Your Majesty, the auspicious time for choosing a concubine is approaching, please sit on the dragon chair!" Ding Keyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, walked to Ning Qiwei's side and said in a low voice. "Okay, I got it." Ning Qiwei frowned and walked up the steps of the main hall.
Ning Qiwei walked to the edge of the dragon chair, the ministers of civil and military affairs had already arranged them in order, Ning Qiwei sneered: If only the morning dynasty was so conscious. Before Ning Qiwei sat down on the dragon chair, Si Li used a round tone: "The Queen Mother has arrived." "Yunni is dressed in a phoenix crown and a xia veil, accompanied by Caiyun, from the side hall. The gilded tassels on the curtain collided with each other, and the crisp sound echoed in the main hall.
"Queen Mother, why are you here?" Ning Qiwei got up and helped Yun Niyi to sit on the brocade chair that had already been placed next to the dragon chair. "The emperor chooses a concubine, how can I not come. Hehe..."Yun Niyi hid her face and smiled, and Caiyun couldn't help but snicker. "Queen Mother, you are still in the mood to laugh, I am going to cry." Ning Qiwei angrily walked to the dragon chair and sat down.
"The ladies enter the palace." As soon as Ning Qiwei sat back on the dragon chair, the celebrant shouted loudly. As soon as the celebrant finished speaking, a group of women with pink faces and makeup and graceful colors walked into the main hall from the side hall. "Your Majesty, you see that every woman is a country and a city." Yun Niyi said with a face. Ning Qiwei responded to Yun Niyi with a wry smile. Ning Qiwei glanced at the group of women in the main hall and asked, "Uncle Huang, why didn't Ning Rong come?" "How could it not be? You just talked to me. Yun Niyi said in surprise.
"Ning Rong didn't come. I won't choose a concubine. Ning Qiwei pretended to be angry. The emperor waited for a moment. The servants went and found him. Ning Yu said and walked towards the side hall. After a while, Ning Yu walked out of the side hall, and Ning Rong followed. Wearing a white gauze swallow wing skirt, hair that hangs down to the waist, and a gentle step, like a Limbo fairy. Everything around suddenly lost its color.
"Well, I'll choose Ning Rong as my imperial concubine." Ning Qiwei smiled. Before Ning Qiwei's words fell, there was a choked sound in the hall, and several ladies cried. Ning Qiwei asked puzzled, "Why are you crying?" "We also want to be the emperor's concubine." Said one of the women at the head. Ning Qiwei smiled and said, "This is exempt, but I will allow you to live in the palace." "Really, that's great. The woman whispered.
"Congratulations to the emperor for choosing such a beautiful concubine." There was a wild laugh outside the hall. Ning Qiwei raised her eyes and forgot about it, and Lin Mo walked in with a red box. Lin Mo walked to the center of the main hall, held up the red box in his hand, and said with a smile: "I bring a gift to congratulate." I wish you all a hundred years of happiness. After Lin Mo finished speaking, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Ning Qiwei smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness." Ning Rong, you put away the gift on my behalf. "Your Majesty, I gave you a gift, but I asked someone else to take it. In vain, you are still the emperor of Ningfu State. Ningfu has not always governed the country with education and etiquette, it is like this. Lin Mo smiled. You... Who are you? trespass on the court, and dare to speak out. Ning Yu's fiery temper came up again, and he crossed his hands on his waist and asked Lin Modao.
"Uncle Huang forget it. I'll pick it up. Ning Qiwei saw Yun Niyi, whose face changed slightly, beside her, and tried her best to turn Gan Ge into a jade silk. The emperor ,..." Ning Yu looked at Ning Qiwei puzzled. Ning Qiwei secretly pointed at Yun Niyi and shook her head at Ning Yu. Ning Yu put down the hand that was crossed on his waist and fell twice in hatred.
Ning Qiwei walked down the steps slowly, walked in front of Lin Mo, took the red box in his hand, and said, "Thank you for your kindness." I still have something to do. Ning Qiwei stuffed the box in her hand into the hand of Liang Rui, who was standing silently beside her, and threw her sleeves away.
"You are a daughter, you can deceive others, but you can't deceive me." Lin Mo said behind Ning Qiwei. Ning Qiwei chuckled and said: "Prince Lin, you only have hatred in your heart, where can you tell whether I am a man or a woman." Less rumors here. Otherwise, I will discourage the idea of helping you. Ning Qiwei said hatefully, and Lin Mo stood in place. Ning Qiwei couldn't bear it in her heart.
The red silk is spread out a hundred zhang long, and the brocade belt stretches for ten miles. Ning Fuguo is full of lights, for Ning Qiwei to marry Ning Rong. And Ning Qiwei, as the protagonist, catches fish in the stream in the palace. Ning Qiwei pulled her trouser legs high and stood in the stream of Qingling. Ning Qiwei sometimes pounced on the left, sometimes to the right, she tried to catch a colorful fish.
"Hey, got you." Ning Qiwei held a fish several feet long in her wet hands and smiled proudly. Ning Qiwei was negligent, and the fish fell from between her fingers into the stream. "Yay..."Ning Qiwei hurriedly bent down, trying to catch the fish. The fish wagked its tail and ran away triumphantly along the stream. Ning Qiwei was very annoyed, she slapped the stream twice hard, splashing a little crystal clear water droplets.
"I didn't expect it to be so lively outside, but the groom was hiding here to catch fish. It seems that you don't like this choice. I don't want to go back. Hehe! Lin Mo stood on the bank of the stream and smiled wickedly. Sling the bull. I'm in a good mood! No jokes. I won't regret it. Ning Qiwei said unhappily.
"Oh, really?" Lin Mo squatted down and said with a smile. "Of course Luo." The corners of Ning Qiwei's mouth lifted lightly and said proudly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Xu Chang's eager voice came, and Ning Qiwei looked at Xu Chang, who was hurrying over, and said, "What happened?" Xu Chang panted and said, "Your Majesty, the auspicious time is coming." Let's go change your wedding dress! Ning Qiwei glanced at Lin Mo who was squatting on the bank of the stream, and said very simply: "Okay, let's go." ”
Ning Qiwei walked onto the bank of the stream, put on her shoes and socks, and she deliberately pretended to be proud of the spring breeze from in front of Lin Mo. Lin Mo stood up, his eyes were a little lonely, and said, "Congratulations to the emperor!" "Alright, let's go! Go and drink my wine. Ning Qiwei smiled indifferently and said. Lin Mo said lightly: "I still have important things, no." "Oh, well! Xuchang, let's go! Don't miss the auspicious time. Ning Qiwei felt the change in Lin Mo's expression, she didn't want to stay for a long time.
"Wow, how am I dressed like this?" Ning Qiwei looked at herself in the mirror in a red wedding dress, and she exclaimed. Caiyun walked up to Ning Qiwei with a smile and straightened the folded clothes on her shoulders. "Your Majesty, you look very handsome and chic, no wonder so many princes and ministers are favored by their daughters. If only it were a man. Caiyun snickered.
"Oh, Aunt Caiyun, do you have a sweetheart?" Ning Qiwei asked. "Nope." Caiyun's face flushed slightly, but she was still smiling. "Really?" Ning Qiwei asked with a smile. "Well, not really." Caiyun said evasively. "Liar!" Ning Qiwei said with a smile. "Your Majesty, the auspicious time is coming." Xu Chang walked in and interrupted their conversation.
In the Taiwei Palace, the xia belt red silk, the red mans hang upside down, and there is a festive atmosphere everywhere. All the civil and military officials were dressed in red robes and court clothes, neatly waiting for Ning Qiwei's arrival. "See the Emperor." The red halo floated, and the hundred officials fell to the ground. Ning Qiwei stepped in and walked forward.
Ning Qiwei sat on the dragon chair surrounded by Hongman and said, "Please get up." There was a blush and swaying, and the ministers stood up. Please Lord Ningrong. The celebrant in a big red robe with gold-rimmed lace said loudly.
A burst of silver light flashed, dressed in a phoenix crown and a red veil with red lace and silk edges on his head, and under the traction of the bride, Xu Bu walked into the door. "Your Majesty, move down the steps to greet the imperial concubine." The celebrant shouted duly.
