readx;? On the eighth day of the fourth month, this is a day that makes a few families happy and a few sad, although too many people do not want this day to come, but no one has the ability to stop the passage of time, and the time will come sooner or later. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
For the Shengdong Palace, today is undoubtedly a happy day with auspicious stars, although the sky is still gloomy, and the dark clouds are all over the place, there is a tendency to rain heavily at any time, but this can not stop the Shengdong Palace's lively and festive today, the palace is already bustling with people, and the busy people are going back and forth to make the final preparations for today's things, and Yan Yu and a group of clansmen also gathered in the hall early, eagerly discussing the process and details of today's marriage, and Yan Ze has already put on the carefully prepared wedding clothes in the room in the early morning, and is happily waiting to be a groom official。
And in Han Linger's room, it was crowded back and forth with hurried maidservants, some of them were holding hairpins, some were holding phoenix crowns, some were holding rouge gouache, some were holding jeweled gold and silver jewelry, and three or four maidservants were busy surrounding Han Linger, carefully serving from head to toe, meticulously dressing and dressing her, and two maidservants stood on the left and right with bronze mirrors, so that Han Linger could see her current appearance at any time, so it was not lively.
The liveliness of the people did not drive Han Ling'er to have the slightest mood swing, I saw her sitting quietly in front of the dresser, her face expressionless, she couldn't see the slightest joy and anger, there was a slight confusion in her eyes, and she looked at herself in the mirror in front of her deeply. Although Han Linger's expression is wooden, but this has not affected the alluring appearance of the stunning beauty that gradually emerges in the mirror, the so-called national color and fragrance, and the peerless elegance is afraid that it is nothing more than that, but it is a pity that today's world-famous makeup is not for the man you love the most, since ancient times, there are women who are pleasing to themselves, and today's Han Linger is obviously only left with a shell without divine sense, but it is this soulless body that is enough to envy many crazy men and women.
Draw eyebrows and sideburns, outlining the willow eyebrows. Fan Dai is slightly applied, rendering a variety of tenderness. The lip fat is lightly contained, and the lips are plumped like jade.
The three thousand green silks are gently coiled, and the golden hairpin is infinitely graceful. Wearing a red dress and dancing for nine days, the phoenix crown is peerless!
A smile, every move, all reveal a trace of agility, this aura is not rouge gouache can be dressed up, this is the innate agility and charm, Han Linger is not enchanting, not charming, not glamorous, but it is this aura that makes her the only one different from all women in the world. Under this single mapping, everything else seems to be less important. A woman's face will gradually disappear with the passage of time, but this spirituality alone is not only indelible, but lingers for a long time.
"Miss Han, you are really beautiful today!" The maidservant who inserted the hairpin for Han Ling'er said with a look of amazement, "I have served so many ladies and young ladies in the palace, but I have never seen such a beautiful woman as Miss Han!"
"What young lady, I'm going to change my name to young lady from today!" the other maidservant laughed mischievously, "Be careful if you call the wrong one, the master will punish you heavily!"
"Yes, yes, young lady!" A few servant girls next to him followed with a chatter, talking and laughing around Han Ling'er one by one, as if Han Ling'er was getting married, and these handmaidens were happier than the bride.
looked at herself in the mirror stupidly, and I don't know when Han Linger's big watery eyes were already overflowing with tears, which blurred her vision and also blurred herself in the mirror.
"Young lady, why are you crying?" Seeing this, the maid on the side hurriedly went to make up for Han Ling'er in fright, and comforted her again and again, "We all know that the young lady has experienced many bad things before, but everything has passed, after today, you will be the master of this Shengdong Palace, and when the time comes, the glory, wealth, brocade and jade food will be inexhaustible, and the young lady should be happy!"
Han Ling'er ignored the persuasion of these maidservants, she just sat quietly in front of the bronze mirror, the tears in her eyes gathered more and more, and an indescribable grievance instantly flooded her heart, making her cry silently again, her body trembling steadily, grievances and fear occupied the bottom of her heart, making her feel uncomfortable.
"Young lady, don't cry anymore, wait for the sedan chair to arrive, you and the little prince are going to the imperial city to make a big ceremony, and when the time comes, His Majesty will personally preside over the big wedding for you, if you let the ministers and officials see you like this, it will be amazing......"
Listening to the chatter and persuasion of the maidservants around her, Han Ling'er only felt as if she was in an ocean, and the endless sea water around her made it difficult for her to breathe, and this feeling of depression and suffocation seemed to suffocate her.
And in the chaos in the room, Han Linger's long sleeves inadvertently revealed a trace of silver light, this is an extremely sharp silver hairpin, but this silver hairpin was hurriedly retracted by Han Linger while slightly revealing the sleeves and hidden in the sleeves again.
Han Ling'er, her heart is dead, and she naturally has no desire to continue to live, so this silver hairpin is her weapon to end her life today.
In the hustle and bustle of the Shengdong Palace, the eastern sky finally turned white, and with the arrival of the early morning, the entrance of the mansion full of red tents and happy words also ushered in batches of guests who came to congratulate one after another, most of them were dignitaries and nobles from Jinling City, and of course, there were also many powerful people who came from other parts of the Holy Land. You must know that this kind of thing is definitely something that can be encountered but not sought, the Shengdong Palace's happy event, the princes of the royal family get married, and even the emperor Yanchong has to appear in person, which is definitely an excellent time for the magnates of the holy region to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix.
Almost every guest who came to congratulate him would be followed by two or three carts full of gold, silver, treasures, and rare treasures, and the chief butler of the Shengdong Palace's palace also personally set up an account at the gate of the palace, and kept recording the congratulatory gifts sent by one guest after another.
Shengdong Wang Yanyi and the groom official Yanze led a group of clansmen to stand outside the gate of the mansion in person, greeting the endless stream of guests with a spring breeze. And some people passing by from the gate of the mansion will not help but stop and look at this scene for a while, this kind of lively scene is not common in Jinling City, outside the huge Shengdong Palace, it is full of all kinds of carriages after a while, so that the entire street in front of the mansion is occupied by the carriages of the guests, and the wide street is blocked by water, which is enough to show how sensational today's happy event is.
"Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to Yan Ze for finally getting his wish and hugging the beauty......!
Just when Yan Yi and Yan Ze were busy greeting the guests, a hearty laugh came from not far away, and then I saw that the three of Saint North King Yan Lie, Saint West King Yan Zheng and Saint South King Yan Hao were slowly walking towards the gate of the mansion with a group of slaves. As soon as they saw the three of them, Yan Yi and Yan Ze hurriedly stepped forward to meet them, Yan Yi's old face was full of smiles, and he thanked him again and again: "Big brother, I'm waiting for you! Hurry up, the banquet has been prepared inside, go in and rest!"
"Yan Ze has seen three grandfathers!" Yan Ze bowed respectfully to the three of them, and then teased with a smile, "I don't know what congratulatory gifts the three grandfathers have prepared for my grandson?"
"Bastard Ze'er, how can you be busy asking for gifts when you see your three grandfathers?" Yan Yi pretended to be angry and scolded, "I really don't understand the rules!"
Yan Ze and Yan Ze were both in a good mood today, so even if they were scolded by Yan Ze, Yan Ze was not angry at all, just stuck out his tongue at his three grandfathers, and then retreated to the side with a smile.
"It's okay, Yan Ze's grandson is getting married, how can the three of us who are grandfathers come empty-handed?" Yan Lie laughed and said, "We brought more than a dozen carts of rare treasures and are parked at the street now, wait for you to find someone to move!"
"Hey, you guys are so spoiled by this kid!" Yan Yi pretended to prevaricate, and hurriedly turned to Yan Ze and scolded, "You kid haven't thanked your three grandfathers quickly!"
"Thank you, three grandfathers!" Yan Ze's hippie smile made people laugh.
"Okay, good! Now that I'm a parent, I'm an adult, and I'm going to do what adults do in the future, and say what adults say! I can't be like a child all day long!" Yan Hao stretched out his hand and pointed at Yan Ze, opening his mouth and smiling.
"Don't stand here talking, get in and take a seat!" Yan Yi reached out and grabbed Yan Lie's arm, then made a gesture of invitation to Yan Zheng and Yan Hao, and then raised his foot and led them towards the mansion.
"Lord Lu Haoqian has arrived!"
Just when Yan Yi turned around and was about to go back to the house, a person who looked like a subordinate hurriedly ran forward and said back to Yan Yi.
"Oh?"
As soon as they heard Lu Haoqian's three words, Yan Lie, Yan Zheng and Yan Hao couldn't help but be stunned at the same time, and the three of them didn't expect Lu Haoqian to come here today. Yan Lie looked at Yan Yi in surprise, and asked with a frown: "Big brother, Lu Haoqian, what is this ......?"
"Don't be surprised, I invited them here!" Yan Yi said that he didn't care about the stunned expressions of the three princes, but turned around and greeted him with a smile.
At this moment, I saw Lu Haoqian and Liu Qingyuan walking forward quickly with Gugu, Lu Yifan, Liu Sandao, Ji Yuan, Xie Yun, Lu Jun, Lu Wencai, Yin Xi, Liu Meng, A Chang and others.
"Congratulations!" Lu Haoqian hurriedly bowed his hand as soon as he came up, "Congratulations to King Shengdong, congratulations to Prince Yanze!"
"Haha...... Lord Lu's presence really makes the Humble House shine!" Yan Yi said politely and hypocritically, his eyes inadvertently swept to Lu Yifan who was smiling behind Lu Haoqian, especially when he saw Lu Yifan's calm and calm look, a trace of doubt couldn't help but appear between his eyebrows, but Yan Yi concealed it very well, I saw that he actually took the initiative to reach out and hold Lu Haoqian's arm, and it looked like the two were extremely close, "Lord Lu can come, this king's heart will be steady!"
Lu Haoqian didn't know that there was something in Yan Yi's words, so he smiled quietly: "The Lu Mansion family business is very small, and he has not prepared any generous gifts, and today he only brought 10,000 gold shells of vulgar things to show his heart, I hope that King Shengdong and Prince Yan Ze can laugh and accept it!"
"Hey, Lord Lu is too polite! Today, this king will definitely not get drunk with you and not return!" Yan Yi always held **** Qian's arm tightly, and said with a smile, "Before, you and I had some misunderstandings because of some trivial things, and everyone in the world said that my grandson robbed your daughter-in-law, saying that your Lu family and my Shengdong Wangfu are incompatible, according to this king's opinion, these rumors are pure nonsense, today you Lord Lu can bring your family to participate, and all rumors will be self-defeating!" Today, this king declares that the world, my Holy East Palace, and your Lu Mansion will be friendly for generations and will never deviate......!
"That's! that's!" Lu Haoqian was so interested in Yan Yi that he could only compliment with a smile. And in the hearts of everyone after Lu Haoqian, they had already greeted the eighteenth generation of Yan Ancestor one by one.
"Haha...... Today, we can see Lord Lu and the eldest brother smiling and enmity, and our hearts are also very happy!" Seeing this, Yan Zheng hurriedly stepped forward with a smile, and said to **** Qian, "Lord Lu understands righteousness, and this king admires it!"
"Hehe, the King of Saint West has a good reputation!" Lu Haoqian nodded with a smile, and then pretended to hesitate and said, "There are still some miscellaneous things in my house today, so it's better to ...... it for the time being."
"Can't go!" Without waiting for Lu Haoqian to finish speaking, Yan Yi shook his head again and again and said, "Anyone can leave today, but you, Lord Lu, can't go, this king said that he wants to get drunk with you, so he will get drunk with you!"
Without waiting for Lu Haoqian to shirk again, Yan Yi was surrounded into the mansion under the push of Yan Ze and several princes, and Liu Qingyuan and Lu Yifan saw this and hurriedly followed.
Just when Lu Yifan appeared, the old man in black who followed Yan Yi yesterday suddenly appeared, silently following behind Lu Yifan, and did not let Lu Yifan leave his sight for a moment.
Lu Haoqian and Liu Qingyuan were invited to the main table by Yan Yi, while Lu Yifan and Liu Sandao were sitting alone at the table. It is also strange to say, in the face of the table full of delicacies in front of him, no one at the table can eat except Lu Yifan, everyone looked at Lu Yifan who was eating and drinking with surprised eyes, and they all looked puzzled, while Liu Sandao, who was sitting next to Lu Yifan, was holding his hands on his chest, looking idle, looking left and right at the guests who came and went around.
"Yifan, how can you still eat at this time?" Lu Jun asked in a low voice.
"There are so many delicacies, if you don't eat them now, you may not have such an opportunity in the future!" Lu Yifan smiled lightly, and as he spoke, he stood up and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of drunken chicken that was placed in the distance, and then put it in his mouth and chewed it with relish.
Facing Lu Yifan, who behaved so strangely, Ji Yuan and the others couldn't help but glance at each other, and there was a look of surprise in their eyes, they were all confused now, and they couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Lu Yifan's gourd.
"The palanquin sent by the Imperial City to pick up relatives has arrived!"
Just when the guests in the palace pushed their cups and changed their lamps, and the hustle and bustle, a clear voice suddenly came from outside the mansion gate, and then I saw an imperial city official trotting all the way to the lobby, and the official of today's herald was dressed in a festive red robe, with a smile on his face, and he was holding a scroll of imperial decrees respectfully in his hand.
Yan Ze and Han Ling'er immediately went to the imperial city, His Majesty witnessed it in person, and held a marriage ceremony for this pair of heavenly couples!"
As soon as the internal official's words came out, Lu Haoqian and Yan Yi's faces instantly became a little nervous, and many people in the hall who knew the inside story also turned their eyes to Lu Yifan with deep meaning at this moment. Ji Yuan, Xie Yun, Yin Xi and the others had already touched their weapons in their hands, and the guards hidden in the Shengdong Palace, as well as the old man in black, had also suddenly raised their vigilance. As long as Lu Yifan makes a slight move, the originally peaceful wedding banquet can immediately turn into a life-and-death battle!
However, as the core character of all this, Lu Yifan is still drinking his wine indifferently at this moment.
Allowing the eyes around him to meet, he was always as flat as water, unmoving.
