Chapter 141: Farewell to the Princess
"Mother. Dong Kelan got up, faced Shu Zhaoyi who came in the door, and called out obediently and sensibly.
Shu Zhaoyi was comforted by Dong Kelan's mother's call, and she fell dangerously.
"Mother be careful!" Dong Kelan hurriedly ran to help Shu Zhaoyi, and the Queen Mother on the side also shed tears and couldn't help laughing and blamed, "Look at you, Kelan just called Mother Concubine, and you were so excited, Kelan often called in the future, it's not that you can't walk anymore." ”
The Queen Mother seemed to be angry and laughing, called Shu Zhaoyi to smile shallowly, affectionately took Dong Kelan's hand, nodded with tears in her eyes, and let the tears fall down with tears in her eyes, but she couldn't say a word.
"Okay, don't cry, it'll make the mourners sad again. The queen was dark, and she was really afraid that the tears would continue to end, so she had to show the majesty she was accustomed to.
"The concubine stopped crying, the concubine was really excited. Shu Zhaoyi clenched Dong Kelan's hand, tears like spring rain at night, sparse but endless.
"Is everything ready?" the Queen Mother raised her head and regained her usual majesty.
"Yes, the Queen Mother, everything has been taken care of, and the gifts outside the palace are all sent by the palace ladies and ministers, and they are piled up into a small mountain, and they have not been included in the register, and it will take a few hours to finish counting. Shu Zhaoyi wiped away her tears and whispered.
"Very good, you pick a few good and decent ones first, and bring them as a princess's dowry and send them together. The Queen Mother lifted her chin.
"Yes, the concubine picked up the agate statue sent by the queen's mother, saying that it was to bless the princess all the way, and the concubine thought that the princess would be able to go smoothly if she took it on the road. Shu Zhaoyi smiled lightly.
"Well, she has to bring her things with her. The Queen Mother gave a look, and Shu Zhaoyi instantly understood. Said again, "There is also a pair of pillows embroidered by Concubine Xian herself, the concubine looks very good-looking and exquisite, Concubine Xian must be interested, after all, we are a princess." Shu Zhaoyi looked at Dong Kelan again.
"Well, Concubine Xian still has this thought, not bad. The Queen Mother responded with a smile, and she didn't take it seriously.
"The rest is the Yawang Mansion, the Pingdong Palace, the Four Highnesses of the Chu Palace, and His Royal Highness the King Xianzheng, all of whom have sent congratulatory gifts, and the others who can't be named will not be trivial to the Queen Mother. Shu Zhaoyi said.
"Well, His Royal Highness Chuxian has bad legs and feet, I think I can't send my relatives in person, you mention it, the mourning family still misses him, go see him later. The Queen Mother sighed, remembered what happened to Dong Chuxian, her heart sank, and she turned to look at Shu Zhaoyi.
"By the way, what congratulatory gift did Concubine Dong give?"
Shu Zhaoyi paused, lowered her head and said softly, "Concubine Dong likes to be clean on weekdays, so ......"
"So she didn't give anything, did she?" The Queen Mother's eyebrows sharpened, and Shu Zhaoyi lowered her head and didn't speak for a long time.
In fact, the Queen Mother knows in her heart that at this juncture, the more people who don't give congratulatory gifts, the more distressed they are for Dong Kelan's people, but they are-for-tat about everything on weekdays, and Dong Kelan will never come back after getting married, and the people who send it off are uncomfortable.
Shu Zhaoyi understands this truth better, if she wasn't handpicked as a person to send her relatives, she wouldn't want to come to see the princess cry.
"Imperial grandmother, okay, okay, Dong Niangniang already likes to be pure, and besides, I can't see Kelan marrying far away, don't be angry with her. Dong Kelan took the queen mother's arm and shook it, and the queen mother responded.
"Alright, let's hurry up and go, don't delay the 'hour'. The Queen Mother glanced deeply at Dong Kelan, Dong Kelan understood, and knelt down to bid farewell to the Queen Mother.
Although he knew that he was cheating, as soon as he saw Dong Kelan wearing his wedding dress, he had all kinds of thoughts in his heart, and he didn't know if Dong Chuchen could handle this matter, and he didn't know what kind of mess would happen if he didn't do it well.
Thinking about it, his nose was sore, and he waved his hand and signaled to hurry down.
Dong Kelan raised her head and burst into tears, supported by Shu Zhaoyi, followed by ten maids dragging long wedding robes out of the pavilion.
The Queen Mother looked towards the door, covered her chest, wiped away her tears and raised her head.
Tao'er Tao at the door had been waiting for almost an hour, covering the hijab and ordering the four maids to cover it, and dragged Dong Kelan towards the outside of the Caiyi Palace.
The long red carpet has been spread from the apse to the outside of the Grand Palace, stretching for miles on both sides of the road is full of palace people, drums and music, singing and dancing, the cheerful and happy scene intensified the fear in Dong Kelan's heart, Dong Kelan held Shu Zhaoyi's hand with one hand, and held Tao Er Tao with the other hand, through the hijab of the red yarn, his eyes looked around for the figure of Jing Wudao.
After looking around, I finally realized my stupidity, this is the Grand Palace, Jing Wudao is a county order of Luoyang Pass, and there is no kung fu, how to enter the Grand Palace.
Dong Kelan sighed softly, went down the steps in frustration, and listened to the Ming Gonggong shouting, "Send the future-" Tears fell down, and his heart was broken into pieces.
Why did you like him?
On the sedan chair, Shu Zhaoyi couldn't send it anymore, standing outside the sedan chair and carefully instructing, "Sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end, Kelan, take care of everything." ”
Dong Kelan nodded heavily, vaguely looking at the tears on Shu Zhaoyi's face, and finally knew the use of the hijab, and also covered how many tears and reluctance on the face of the bride.
The sedan chair set off, heading in the opposite direction of the Grand Palace, everyone stood at the gate of the Grand Palace and watched, Dong Chuhua looked at Dong Kelan farther and farther, his eyes flashed with sorrow, Dong Chuming put his arm on Dong Chufan's shoulder, secretly sad.
Dong Chufan tightly pinched the piccolo that Dong Kelan handed over to him the day before yesterday, and shouted, "Dong Chufan, you remember, if I come back in my lifetime, and see that my pigeons have made you lose their training, this princess will pull out your hair!"
The piccolo who was now clenching his palms frowned heavily, and none of the pigeons released this morning had not returned, so they were probably lost.
Dong Chufan looked at the sedan chair and the carriage and horse team going farther and farther, and his eyes blurred his vision with tears. I'm afraid this group of pigeons will follow Kolan.
At the gate of the Shangshu Palace, He Hui stood there with his hands behind his back, looking in the direction of Huaguo, his face was expressionless, only the moment the morning breeze blew his eyelids, he blinked his eyes, sighed and was also carried away by the wind.
"You say, am I a person who can do anything for the sake of the country, and I am not a selfish person. He Hui thought of Shu Zhaoyi, if she hadn't exchanged for the medicine, how could she have recovered from her cough, and she didn't know what Shu Zhaoyi was going to do that day, but there was no way at that time, only by living, can there be hope, and living, it doesn't matter how unbearable it is, as long as she is still an emperor after that, Zhaoyi will still have it, and women will still have it.
I didn't go to Shu Zhaoyi for three years, it's not that I forgot it, how can a man forget the woman who endured hardships together? But he didn't want to see Shu Zhaoyi, he didn't want her, her face always reminded him of the hardships he had suffered in southern Xinjiang, the humiliation he had suffered, and his woman was pressed under him. He could only linger with Concubine Xian day and night, in order to forget Shuzhaoyi.
In the matter of feelings, Concubine Xian's pity is even better, according to He Hui's heart, she has never really loved her once, but she is useful, whether it is the pleasure brought by the body, or the benefits brought by her father Wu Chu, in the final analysis, it is useful.
Shu Zhaoyi is like a dog skin plaster, when the pain is pasted to treat the disease, but if the pain is still pasted on it, it is redundant and ugly, and the effect of the dog skin plaster is obviously to be discarded after exhaustion.
He Hui was conflicted in his heart, and when he looked back, only the queen who was covered in lush green looked at him and said, "The emperor is the king of a country, and there is nothing wrong with him." ”
He Hui burst into tears, he finally knew that from the day he succeeded to the throne, there would never be a confidant anymore.
Where the emperor has feelings, it is enough for the emperor to have the world.
He thought that this might be the reason why Dong Chuchen refused to be the emperor.
