Chapter 17: Marriage
After Chinese New Year's Eve, when I returned to the Wei State Mansion, I was equivalent to being grounded. I learned all kinds of etiquette every day, just to wait for the 27th day of the first month, which was the day when Zhu Di and I got married.
Time flies in boredom, on the twenty-seventh day of the first month of the ninth year of Hongwu (AD 1376), at the age of fifteen, I wore a crown of nine feathers and four phoenixes, dressed in green nine Zhai clothes, and officially became the seventeen-year-old concubine of Yan Wang Zhu Di after the grand ceremony.
Zhu Di was crowned king at the age of eleven and was in Beiping, so he still lived in the palace before the fan. His dormitory is on the south side of the Chunhe Palace, called Yunxuan Pavilion.
Yunxuan Pavilion is as quiet as a lake at the moment, I only feel the candle flame jumping, and the wind of early spring is still carrying a heavy chill. My legs were numb, and my neck was sore. But everything is not as bad as the anxiety in my heart, although I have become Princess Yan and have settled down now, but when I think of Zhu Di, my heart always swells with a trace of weird awkwardness.
Counting the previous life to now, it is the first time I have been married, and my face twitches when I think of the words that my aunt said before. At this moment, I only hope that Zhu Di is drunk like mud, and it would be better to die drunk.
Finally, I couldn't stand it anymore, I tried to take off the hijab on my head, and the aunt in charge on the side immediately said: "Princess Niangniang, no!" ”
I was taken aback, they were so like air, I didn't even hear the breath, and when I suddenly spoke, I realized that they were all there!
I pouted and sighed, "That's it, I'll bear with it any longer!" I didn't expect this forbearance to be a few hours, so I started to stagger, no way, Zhou Gong has an appointment.
"Niangniang......" At the moment when I was about to fall to the ground, an aunt in a light green jacket really couldn't help it, she supported me with both hands, and then shouted helplessly.
"Forget it, I won't wait, if I don't wait any longer, I won't be trapped and crushed to death by this phoenix crown on my head, you can help me take it off." I rubbed my eyes and reached out to remove the hijab from my head, talking about the fight between my eyelids.
"Niangniang, this phoenix crown can only be taken off if the prince comes." The aunt in charge on the side walked over and said with an expressionless face.
"I don't care about any rules and regulations, I let you take it, why do you talk so much nonsense?" I gave her a blank look, it was really pedantic.
The aunt in the green jacket on the side stretched out her hand and was about to start taking it, when the aunt in charge shouted: "No! ”
Suddenly, the aunt in the green jacket stopped, I was really angry, I said: "Bold, this palace will take what it says, where is it your turn to speak as a palace maid!" ”
Suddenly, a palace maid fell to her knees gorgeously on the ground: "Please forgive the princess!" ”
I snorted and ignored them, it was time to dismount, or they would have thought I was a bully.
"Xu Qi is here?" Xu Qi and Zhi'er are my maids, and I can't see them at this time.
"Mama Liu said that the two girls were not familiar with the rules of the palace when they first entered the palace, so they sent them to wait outside." The green jacket aunt on the side returned respectfully.
"They are my maid rings to marry, they have served by my side since they were children, Mama Liu is so majestic, she withdrew my maid ring as soon as she came, is it possible that you want to do the opposite?" I stared at the expressionless palace maid, I guess she was Mama Liu.
Mama Liu raised her head slightly without being surprised or annoyed: "Today is the day of the great joy of the prince and the princess, and the slave maid is at the will of the queen, and she can't let anything go wrong with the wedding ceremony." ”
It can be seen that this person is not small, and it turns out to be someone from the queen's side. I don't reason with her, after all, it's the first time we've met and it's the queen's side, so don't make too much trouble: "Pass them in to serve!" ”
Xu Qi and Zhi'er came in, and I asked them to help take off the heavy phoenix crown and take off the veil, and then the people on the ground got up: "You guys go down, the palace is going to sleep." ”
"Niangniang, the prince has not gone to bed yet, Niangniang must not go to bed first." Mama Liu is always up to me to do the right thing. Although it was a rule, she didn't look at what time it was. I smiled at that Mama Liu, your grandmother's turtle egg, exterminator too you, if Zhu Di is drunk and dies outside, is it possible that I don't want to sleep?
"Mama Liu, don't worry, Your Highness hasn't returned yet, eighty percent of you are drunk, you should go and prepare some sobering soup." After saying that, I ignored them, and I covered my head and went to sleep.
Even if they complained, they wouldn't want to deprive me of my right to sleep at the moment.
When I was woken up by the thrush outside, it was already dawn, and I opened my hazy eyes, and a big face appeared in front of me, not who Zhu Di was. I was shocked.
"You...... Why do you look at me like that? "I was so close to me early in the morning, and I was so focused, I had to suspect his intentions, and stared at his chest in only underwear, and I couldn't help but grasp the futon on my chest. I've heard that men are easy in the morning......
"This king just wants to take a closer look, you ...... Who exactly! The last few words are especially low and slow. I couldn't help but get goosebumps, and it seemed that he did recognize it.
"Did the prince not wake up from the wine last night? Your concubine is your princess! I looked at him as if he was smiling, with a dangerous face, and replied with neither humility nor arrogance.
"Oh? It seems that this king is wrong, this king thinks that you are the drunkard who threatened to overturn my Ming Dynasty that day! Zhu Di stretched out his finger and gently sketched it on my white and tender face, and the lazy expression made people feel scared.
"It seems that the prince was really drunk last night, and the concubine was only obtained by you yesterday." I smiled and looked away.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Di never let go, he wrenched my face hard, and with a stroke of his slender nails, a long mark appeared on my delicate skin, and the stinging pain made me frown slightly.
"Really? Whether you are the princess of this king or the drunkard of that day, this king just wants to tell you that even if you want to turn the entire Ming Dynasty over, you don't want to turn it out of the palm of my hand. He leaned close to me, and a low, ghostly voice rang in my ears. I shuddered slightly, and cursed in my heart: this wine is really not a good thing.
settled down, and now I can only shamelessly pretend to be stupid.
"The prince is really good at laughing, since the concubine is your princess, then she is a person who is the prince in this life and this life, so naturally she can't turn over the palm of the prince's hand."
Zhu Di continued to swipe down my face, looking careless. Damn, it's hard for him to disfigure me. Oh no, he'...... He didn't want to scrape me alive! It stands to reason that the madness of scraping people alive will only be committed decades later!
Just when I was frightened, he suddenly smiled lightly, laughing upside down, laughing so much that I was hairy, and finally his thin lips lightly opened: "Forgive you for not having that guts!" ”
"Your Royal Highness, Niangniang, it's time to say hello to the emperor and queen!" Outside, Mama Liu's voice suddenly came.
Only then did Zhu Di let go of me, and when I got up from the bed, I found myself in a cold sweat.
