Chapter 595: Cover-up

In the next ten days, the main and deputy angels were busy for the emperor's wedding, and after the last Na Cai asked for the name, he went to Na Ji Na on the auspicious day every other day, and finally asked the date; After more than ten days of back and forth, big things are there.

On the auspicious day of the eighth zodiac of the lunar month, the emperor's wedding period is today, the Ming Dynasty is lit up in various places, and the officials of the state outside Beijing gather in the local yamen early in the morning to worship and congratulate in the north, and the officials of all sizes in the capital can enter the palace to watch the ceremony.

The wedding ceremony is set in the square in front of the Kunning Palace in the harem, early in the morning, Zhengde got up and freshened up, put on the wedding clothes, first led all the officials to worship the ancestors, and then went to the inner palace to ask the queen mother to bow to the queen mother, and then took a group of queen mothers and concubines in the harem to Kunning Palace; The officials dressed in new official uniforms stood in front of the Kunning Palace in order, and everyone waited together for the arrival of the welcoming procession to welcome the queen instead of the emperor.

When the sky was bright, Zhu Chenhao, Song Nan, and Xu Guangzuo took the queen Luan to drive the honor guard to the Xia Confucian mansion. Xia Ru led the whole family to kneel at the gate to greet the family. Zhu Chenhao announced the edict loudly. In the sound of drums, the palanquin man carried the queen's rites and dragon pavilions into the front yard and placed them, and then surrounded by more than a dozen women, the eunuchs carried them to the front of the "embroidery building" in the backyard, and parked them according to the "auspicious position" designated by the officials of Qin Tianjian. Xia wore the queen's dress, wore a phoenix crown, knelt down to receive the gold book and gold treasure from the embroidery building, and then returned to the embroidery building again to wait for the auspicious time to come.

Originally, Song Nan's wife, the little county lord, was also a candidate for a wife, but unfortunately she had a big belly and had not yet given birth to a child, so she couldn't become one of them; And Dai Suer and others are not wives, of course, they are not qualified.

Qin Tianjian accompanied the god stick to welcome the relatives announced that the auspicious time had arrived, the main and deputy angels greeted the queen on Luan to drive, in the midst of the gongs and drums, hundreds of people greeted the relatives and honor guards all the way to the palace, along the way the drums sounded gongs and drums noisy, and the people rubbed shoulders along the street to watch.

Daming Gate opened the main gate to welcome the queen Luan, after Luan drove into the Duanmen Afternoon Gate, the bells and drums on the palace wall and the bell and drum tower rang in unison, and the eunuchs and palace maids in the noon gate greeted them all the way to Kunning Palace.

Under His Majesty Dan, the three kissing angels can finally return to Zhengde. The officials of the Ministry of Rites presented the queen's gold book and gold treasure to the relevant people and displayed them in the side hall of the Qianqing Palace. Queen Xia was supported by dozens of women, female officials, palace maids, etc., and walked up the stairs to Zhengde.

Under the loud chanting of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, Zhengde and the queen entered the main hall of Kunning Palace to worship heaven and earth, perform husband and wife gifts, and drink a glass of wine. Soon the emperor had a decree to come down, amnesty for prisoners in the world, and the Ming Dynasty celebrated for three days, so far Zhengde can be regarded as an official queen.

Song Nan was tired enough, got up too early in the morning, and because some ceremonial things had to be kept strict and dignified, the whole person jumped until his back was sore, and he was able to rest after the ceremony; Wan Zhi moved a chair and placed it in the corner of the square for Song Nan to sit, and ordered someone to get some tea and snacks.

"Do you want to go back to your house to rest? There's a lowly duty here. Wan Zhi asked.

Song Nan waved his hand and said: "No, you must be here today, once the emperor has any orders, he must be on call." ”

Wan Zhidao: "My lord went to my public house to rest, anyway, it's not a big deal now." ”

Song Nan thought for a while and said, "You can go by yourself, I'll find a place to nest for a while." Wan Zhi was still about to ask again, Wang Yong pulled him and squeezed his eyes, and snorted in the direction of Shouning Palace, Wan Zhi immediately understood and gave up.

Song Nan stood up, took advantage of the inattention of people to turn onto the path and went in the direction of Shouning Palace, when he saluted just now, he saw Kang Ning squeezing his eyes at him on the upper steps, he had long wanted to go and see her, it was still early for the wedding banquet in the afternoon, wouldn't it be very comfortable to go to her to mess around; I came to Kangning Palace all the way, and was about to enter the door, when someone suddenly laughed behind him: "Hey, so coincidental?" Is Marquis Song also here with the princess? ”

Song Nan was frightened, turned around and looked, only to see Zhu Chenhao standing not far behind him with a smile, Song Nan secretly felt bad, he secretly came to Shouning Palace and was seen by this guy, this matter is a little tricky.

"Lord Song, your face is not very good." There was something strange in Zhu Chenhao's smile.

"It turned out to be the prince, and the lower official was just a little sleepy, maybe he was hungry and didn't eat anything in the morning."

"I see, this is to come to the princess's palace to ask for some tea and food? The princess treats the marquis well. ”

"The prince misunderstood, the lower official is acting on the orders of the princess." Song Nan caught a glimpse of the female official Cui Hongying coming from the courtyard when she heard the voice, and deliberately raised her voice. Seeing Cui Hongying's footsteps stagnant, he turned around and walked towards the harem, Song Nan's heart was relieved, if this Cui Hongying was clever, he would immediately understand what he meant.

"Oh, I see." Zhu Chenhao nodded slowly, and the doubts in his eyes were still captured by Song Nan.

"The prince came to Shouning Palace, this is ......"

"Oh, I have been in Beijing for nearly a month, and I haven't come to see the queen mother of the harem, this is not just after the ceremony was completed, the king went to meet the queen mother, and now I came to meet Her Royal Highness the princess, I didn't expect to meet the princess by such a coincidence. In that case, let's go in and see the princess together. ”

Song Nan had the heart to refuse, because he was afraid that the panic he had just spread would be exposed in person, but if he didn't go, Zhu Chenhao would definitely be suspicious, so he stretched out his hand and bowed and said, "Lord Wang, please." ”

Zhu Chenhao laughed and took a step. The palace maids had already reported that they had already entered, Song Nan and Zhu Chenhao stood under the corridor in the front yard and waited for a while, and the female official Cui Hongying came down from the back corridor, and Ju saluted Zhu Chenhao and Song Nan.

"Lord Ning, Lord Song, the princess is in the warm pavilion in the back, please two here."

Zhu Chenhao said lightly: "I'm tired." Song Nan deliberately delayed a little and looked at Cui Hongying, Cui Hongying glanced at Song Nan quickly, squeezed her eyes mischievously, Song Nan suddenly made up her mind, and said loudly: "Thank you Cui Shanggong." ”

Cui Hongying said with a smile: "Master Hou is polite, Lord Hou is please, the princess is in a hurry." ”

The three of them came to the warm pavilion of the apse, Princess Kangning was sitting on the soft couch, Zhu Chenhao stepped forward and saluted: "Zhu Chenhao sees Her Royal Highness the Princess, and has always had the opportunity to see the princess when she comes to Beijing, please forgive the princess." ”

Kang Ning glanced at Song Nan, who lowered his head, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the palace still has to call you an uncle, King Ning doesn't have to be polite, and the princes don't have to come to the harem to see when they enter Beijing to do business, how can Prince Ning be so polite." ”

Song Nan's heart moved, this guy said that he was here to see the princess, in fact, he didn't have to come at all, the meeting at the gate of the palace may not be accidental, could it be that Zhu Chenhao deliberately wanted to meet him at the gate of Shouning Palace, could it be that what intention did he want to express?

Zhu Chenhao hurriedly said: "I should come to see us, after all, we are the royal family, and we should see each other more, otherwise the princess will not know who I am when she sees me in the future." ”

"That's what I said, Lord Wang, please sit down and drink tea for a while, and the palace will talk to Marquis Song about something first." Kang Ning smiled slightly and turned to Song Nan and said: "Lord Song Houye, this palace called you here to entrust you with a matter, I heard that a lady in your mansion has good skills, and this palace wants to invite her into the palace to teach me how to embroider a pillow; The emperor's wedding, my sister has no good congratulations, and it is not interesting to send some gold and silver, I want to embroider a pillow for the emperor and the queen. ”

Song Nan secretly snickered, this story is also fast enough, it has a nose and eyes, and he bowed down and said: "The minister obeys the princess's decree, and the craftsmanship of the green glass girl in the cheap is still eye-catching, and I will take her into the palace tomorrow, but I was born in the people, and I don't understand the etiquette in the palace. ”

Kang Ning almost laughed out loud, she knew several women in the Song Mansion, and if she wanted to talk about female celebrity kung fu, only Dai Suer could still take it on the table. It's okay for Lu Qingli to dance with a knife and make trouble, it's nonsense to say that she is a good woman. Song Nan once said that once Lu Qingli and Ye Fanggu's sisters embroidered a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water, but Song Nan saw it as a chicken pecking at the rice map, which made Kang Ning laugh for a long time. Song Nan was very narrow, and actually said in front of himself that Lu Qingli's female red skills were good.

"Very good, very good, this is the matter of this palace inviting you to come, you can step down; Hongying, Marquis Song is on duty today, I'm afraid that the water will not enter, you can take some pastries and tea and give it to Marquis Song. Kang Ning held back a smile and commanded, feeling sorry for Song Nan who was hungry.

Cui Hongying said: "The slave obeys, Lord Song, please." ”

"Thank you princess for the reward, the minister will retire." Song Nan bowed and exited the warm pavilion.

Out of the warm pavilion and came to the front yard porch, Song Nan hurriedly thanked Cui Hongying, Cui Hongying returned the salute and said in a low voice: "Hou Ye should also be careful when he comes, Hou Ye has been diligent recently, and it is inevitable that people will notice it...... If it really spreads, it will be out of control. ”

Song Nan was complained by a female official, but she couldn't refute it, Cui Hongying was the princess's personal female official, and she knew everything about herself and Kang Ning, and her complaint was probably also for Kang Ning.

Cui Hongying is also up to the point, she has no right to point fingers about the matter between Song Nan and the princess, but she does complain to Song Nan, this Song Hou is good, but this relationship with Her Royal Highness the princess is a game, it is really worrying.
