Chapter 1147: Choosing a Name
"Early Chaoqi, hundreds of officials enter the palace!"
The morning light was faint, the sky was slightly bright, in the center of Shenjing City, in the Imperial Hall of the White Emperor Palace, a penetrating sound unique to the old eunuch came out, resounding throughout the sky.
After the sound was finished, the nine huge vermilion gates of the entire Imperial Palace slowly opened inward under the impetus of the Imperial City Guards, and then the officials who had already arranged the formation of civil and military forces marched forward in unison, lining up into the huge Imperial Palace.
Even though it was still early at this time, and the autumn sun had not poked its head out, the entire Imperial Palace was not dim, but extremely bright, because above the main hall, the huge flaming phoenix turned into a streamer and soared back and forth, exuding light to disperse the darkness.
Under the flying and soaring of a phoenix and a bird at the top of the hall, the civil and military officials wearing meticulous official uniforms lined up neatly in the hall, but at this time, the faces of every official in the hall were smiling, and the atmosphere was relaxed, waiting for the arrival of the lord of Great Xia.
After a few breaths, Liang Po's burly body like a little giant appeared in front of the palace, and after nodding to the old eunuch, the latter took a deep breath and opened his mouth to speak:
"Hundreds of officials kneel, welcome Your Majesty!"
As soon as these words came out, all the officials knelt on the ground in unison, and the entire uniform greeting came out:
"Greetings to Your Majesty, Long live Your Majesty, long live Long live!"
Under the tsunami-like greetings of the mountains, a young figure in a dark golden imperial robe slowly stepped into the main hall, and then Zhao Yu stepped onto the high platform of the Imperial Palace, turned around and sat on the throne, and after looking around the lower circle, Emperor Huanghuang's voice penetrated the void:
"Zhong Aiqing is flat. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After finishing speaking, the officials in the Imperial Palace stood up together, and then the majestic and vast imperial voice of Zhao Yu sounded in their ears again:
"Xiao Su, can you arrange this name selection?"
"Back to Your Majesty, before the birth of His Royal Highness and the little princess, the Ministry of Rites and the entire Bachelor's Mansion had already begun to screen it, and now the nine characters have been selected, and Your Majesty is invited to make a final decision. ”
Xiao Su, a bachelor with white hair in the queue, stepped forward and bowed to speak, and then Zhao Yu nodded and responded:
"Come up and show me. ”
"Yes. ”
After Xiao Su saluted Zhao Yu above again, he stroked the white beard on his chest, turned around with a smile and said loudly:
"Please go to the temple of the Bachelor's House. ”
The old man's voice fell, and the Imperial City Guards standing at the gate of the Imperial Pole Hall then opened their mouths and let out a mid-term roar towards the outside of the Imperial Pole Palace:
"Xuan, the scholars of the Bachelor's Mansion enter the hall!"
As soon as the roar came out, eighteen old men who were waiting under the Imperial Palace, wearing meticulous white Confucian robes, nodded to each other, and then walked up the golden cloth with both hands, and walked up the steps of the Imperial White Jade Ladder, respectfully entering the magnificent hall.
Inside the golden cloth in the hands of each old scholar, there is a name embroidered, and these names will be selected by Zhao Yu for the two heirs of the young emperor who have just been born.
At the same time, in the depths of the summer hall of the White Emperor Palace, two half-burned candles flickered and swayed, exuding a soft light outward, and then the door in the deep hall was gently pushed open, and a petite figure appeared.
The hands and feet of the person who came were very light, and they didn't even make a certain sound, and after the door opened, Ruyue's somewhat round little head poked in from the outside, and then her big eyes glanced inward, her face changed slightly, and she hurriedly walked into the hall, and at the same time the voice came out:
"Mother, why did you wake up so early and didn't sleep much. ”
After the words fell, Ruyue came to the side of the bed, took a cushion from the side and put it behind the rouge who had raised her upper body, and the voice continued to say:
"Mother, the little ones tossed enough last night, you really should rest more. ”
After Ruyue finished speaking, with the help of some lights in the room, Rouge could clearly see the conspicuous dark circles around the former's big eyes, indicating that Ruyue had not slept all night last night, and then Rouge gently leaned her body on the cushion and responded:
"Ruyue is really hard for you, originally because these two little guys are competing for milk, the palace that hasn't slept well all night is quite sleepy, but maybe it's because of habit, at this point, I suddenly feel sleepy, and I can't sleep anymore. ”
After finishing speaking, Rouge turned his gaze to the two little guys who continued to sleep beside him, raised the corners of his mouth and showed a happy smile, and then Ruyue, who was standing on the side, hesitated for a few breaths, and still spoke:
"Niangniang, in fact, the officials of the Department of Internal Affairs have found a lot of nurses, and you can let the nurses feed them at night, and you can also sleep peacefully. ”
After Ruyue's inquiry fell, Rouge, who was leaning on the side of the bed, had not yet spoken, and a slightly cold voice came directly from outside:
"If the moon is unreasonable, there must be a reason for Niangniang's choice. ”
When the words fell, Bai Zhining stepped in from outside the hall, only to see that he was holding warm water and a basin for washing in his hands, his steps were light, but his hands were extremely stable and did not move.
"Bengong just wants to accompany these two children as much as possible, even if it is a little hard, as long as the two of them can grow up healthily, it is worth the hard work. ”
After the soft voice came out of Rouge's mouth, Bai Zhining, who was holding a plate, came to the side of the bed and said slowly:
"Niangniang has a heart, let's rinse your mouth with warm water first. ”
After finishing speaking, Bai Zhining looked at Rouge, who was sitting up with the help of Ruyue, continued to open his red lips lightly, and said:
"Niangniang, according to the customs of our Great Xia Emperor, on the morning of the second day of the birth of His Majesty's heir, the scholars of the Bachelor's Mansion will present the names selected by the little prince and the little princess to be selected by the saint, and then announce it to the world. ”
As soon as Bai Zhining said this, Ruyue's eyes on the side suddenly lit up, and then he said in a voice with excitement:
"It turns out that His Royal Highness and the princess are so particular about their names, and this is the first time I know about Ruyue. ”
"The Zhao family, the lord of Great Xia, the love of Zhong Dadao, and the ethereal luck, so this name should be chosen carefully, and it can't be as random as the name of us ordinary people. ”
After Rouge's gentle voice fell, Ruyue nodded and responded with a thoughtful opening:
"When Ruyue was a child, I heard my mother who was still alive say that when I was just born, the moon in the sky was as big as a millstone and very round, so my mother named me Ruyue, and the rest didn't know, but now my face is getting rounder and rounder. ”
As soon as Ruyue said this, Rouge opened her mouth and let out a chuckle directly, even Bai Zhining, who had always been cold, couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, the rules of the deep palace are heavy, but the simple-minded Ruyue often brings laughter to everyone around her, which is also her charm.
"Okay, Ruyue, you bring these outside, and then let the imperial dining room make some breakfast and bring it over. ”
The voice that came out of Bai Zhining's mouth made Ruyue stick out her tongue, and then she picked up the plate and walked out of the hall, and then the little girl seemed to think of something, turned her head and continued to speak with a smile:
"I went to find out what name His Majesty chose, and when I had news, I came back to tell my mother as soon as I had news. ”
