Chapter 10 Ceremonies

However, once the "pheasant turned into a phoenix" was really difficult to adapt to - since the matter of "sealing the concubine" was fermented in the mansion, Xiao Wu Xiaoqiao and Xiao Wang began their day after day, thunder and unmoving, although Zifeng was reluctant, but under Zhou Lingqing's order, he often showed me the account books in the house, although I didn't understand anything. "The Flower of Kaolin" is like a smoke, but the girl is the same as before, she only says that she is sick and drunk in her smoke pavilion.

Of course, the words "drunk life and dream death" are not what I said, it was said by Xiao Jiu, who "watched all directions" - because of serving in Xinyuan and becoming my personal maid, Xiao Jiu became the little butler in charge, and everything inside and outside the palace was stuttered, so she knew all the big and small things in Ruyan Pavilion, so she made her own initiative to report to me every half a day about the situation of Ruyan Pavilion.

I played the piano all morning, and I didn't feel that my hands hurt, the prince had already left the house, and I couldn't hear it at all! I drank a jar of potpourri for lunch, and I was not afraid to drink it! and let people cut new clothes, I really don't know how to be diligent and thrifty! Do you think you're in a prostitution hall all day long? Look, look! I didn't have a moment to spare, so I let the small kitchen make bird's nest and serve it over! But the prostitutes brought back from outside are not even concubines, so they really regard the palace as their own home? It's time to play the piano again!! Every day, you can play at the moment when the prince returns home! No, it's hooked people again!

My brain swelled so much in Xiao Jiu's chatter, and finally I couldn't help but interrupt her, I said solemnly, "Xiao Jiu, I don't have the habit of spying on other people's private lives, and you don't have to report like this..."

Xiao Jiu was a little aggrieved when she heard it, she said that it was not that the prince favored prostitutes, so she wanted to explore more for me!

I held my forehead, "Let's just live our own lives, why bother with other people's affairs?" ”

Xu was my "weakness" that inspired Xiao Jiu's "official authority", only to hear her spitting Xingzi scolding, "That prostitute, since I knew that Mrs. was a real lady in the future, I didn't come to the door to ask for peace once, and I even intensified my efforts to hook the prince away, that's all, tomorrow is the concubine ceremony, she won't even let go of the prince tonight, did she put Mrs. in her eyes!" ”

My eyes were glowing golden on the things that the Queen Mother had rewarded a few days ago, and I didn't want to pay attention to Zhou Lingqing's eldest wife and little wife at all. Thinking that the Queen Mother really deserves to be the Queen Mother of a country, the things she gave were all rare things, and when she turned to the end, she found that even the only golden silk clothes in the world were squarely folded to the bottom of the baggage.

"Ma'am, did you listen to what I was saying?" Xiao Jiu finally realized that my mind was not in Ruyan Pavilion, but in order to appease her who had just won the position of "little housekeeper", I still said perfunctorily that we would also use tricks to catch up with Ming'er, and I also made a foolish look at the flowers!

She quieted down after getting my "promise", but after a while, she worried about something else, "Madam, you will always give something to others tomorrow, and you can choose something?" ”

I couldn't help but point to the treasures lined up on the coffee table at the door - so what is there to say about the princess, and to slap a swollen face and become fat, what can I appreciate?

Don't you want the belongings that Baba has saved over the years to call the façade?

Thinking like this, he picked up the golden silk clothes - this is the most handy piece of nature to be given to Sister Yu, in the past, she had to cut her love for any good things, and now in the eyes of everyone, I am also among the glory and wealth, and I naturally want to share the blessings with Sister A!

However, the royal extravagance, glory and wealth, I also opened my eyes with everyone at the "Concubine Ceremony" on the second day - the formal clothes to be worn in the ceremony are dazzling and amazing, I saw that the clothes are crocheted with five-colored gold threads and colorful auspicious clouds, and the lower body is a yellow flower smoke phoenix tail skirt that mops the floor, and the headdress sent a dragon and phoenix hairpin, a hollow golden hairpin, and a little purple jade su sprinkled on the green silk.

With the concerted efforts of everyone, I stuffed my body into this costume, Xiao Jiu looked at me dressed properly, and the whole person was almost excited, she said that she had never seen such a gorgeous me.

Indeed, I also saw it for the first time.

However, I always thought that the praise of Xiao Jiu and others was out of politeness, out of necessity, until Zhou Lingqing dressed up and came to look for me, stunned at the door for a long time, looked me up and down for a long time, and gave the evaluation that sure enough, people rely on clothes, I knew that this was about the legendary highlight moment.

Zhou Lingqing stretched out his hand as he spoke, and I stood up and interlocked my fingers with him, as skilled as if I had rehearsed. His palms were full of calluses, but they were very warm, and I looked at him, and I was in a trance, and I didn't know what to think, and my brain was a little dizzy.

"What are you blushing for?" He smiled as he led me out of the garden.

What's so funny???

"The clothes are too hot—" I opened my mouth to come.

What are you thinking, don't be ashamed, this person, is it what you can think about? - I woke myself up in time.

The ceremony was held in a royal temple in the suburbs, and it can be said that I have never seen such a big battle when it grows so big. Under the arrangement of the ceremonial officer, I knelt down once, bowed to the west, listened to this admonition, and wanted to say hello to that one, Zhou Lingqing stood beside me, did not say a word, but cooperated with all my actions, and from time to time I had to support me like a play, and it took three hours to end in the speech of the ceremonial official, and then I went to the back of the royal temple surrounded by Xiao Jiu and others to change into civilian clothes, but this did not affect my hungry eyes to shine - the bowl of soup and rice that rushed in in the middle of the ceremony has long been unknown.

Xiao Jiu looked at me and was very embarrassed, she said that she was not familiar with life here, and she couldn't change any food, and the banquet would not start until she returned home......

But before she could finish speaking, my mother and Sister A came over with food boxes.

My mother was full of tears, and when she saw me, she was about to salute, and she said that she would meet the princess.

I hurriedly helped her sit down, she wiped her tears and cried, "I knew you would get out, your outfit today is worthy of the status of a princess, but my mother thought that you must not have eaten a hot meal for a day, so she asked people to cook the meal, keep it warm, and wait for you to come down and take a few bites-"

Between her eyebrows and eyes, she was no longer young, but after a few months of hard work, a few new fine lines were added to her forehead. Between us, even if we are close to each other as Zhou Lingqing said, there is a clear distinction between relatives and daughters, but it is just a little more indifferent.

I devoured my warm meal, ignoring the tears that welled up in my eyes.

"Eat slowly, eat slowly—" Sister Ah said, handing over the hot tea, "My mother-in-law asked me to come...... I apologize to you, he said... That day, she lost her words and said a lot of hurtful things to you, she didn't have bad intentions, but she was afraid that Chu Huai would do something crooked..."

I stopped eating - this old lady Chu can hurt people casually for the sake of unnecessary things?

"I don't have to apologize, I don't know her well, and I don't have to get along well, you and my sister just need to get closer-"

In short, will not forgive!

"Yes, yes, ...... In the future, I walked a lot between my brothers-in-law, and I also looked forward to Prince Ling's support for Chu Huai..."Sister also almost burst into tears.

"Don't dare, Chu Huai is now in the court, and he can't wait to visit this king a hundred times a day, and this king can't hide——"

Zhou Lingqing walked from the corridor with a sneering mouth, followed by three or five small servants holding food boxes, he asked people to put the food out before sitting down, holding his chin with his hands, and selling miserably as if no one was around, "Le Ming has started to eat?" Eh, but someone is coming with food and hungry—"

Sister Ah stood aside with her mother, her expression a little frozen, very cramped.

Xiao Jiu looked at Zhou Lingqing's eyes and began to clear the doglegs, "Please Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Chu go outside and wait, it is not appropriate for the princess and princess to have a meal——"

The mother looked at each other like Sister A, her eyes were embarrassed, and then she followed Ah Jiu to the corridor.

"They are all hypocritical people, why should they lead you to the heart?" The soup soup couldn't stop him either.

"Even if it's humble, it's a bit sincere, not to mention that things in the world aren't all black and white—"

He looked at me hopelessly and shook his head, at this time, a little guy came to invite him to go to the outside world to meet the deceased, so he hurriedly rinsed his mouth after a few mouthfuls, and did not forget to urge me to pick up quickly before going out, there are still a large number of people waiting to go back to the house outside the temple!

I've eaten and drunk enough and started looking for trouble!

I pouted and continued to sweep the clouds, he disappeared into the courtyard, and my mother and sister entered the house again.

Sister Ah looked a little displeased, but her mother said with a relieved face, "I can see that he has you in his heart, so I am also relieved." ”

You are wrong, if you have seen his little wife everywhere, you know who he has in his heart.

I quickly diverted the topic and asked Xiao Jiu to take out the gift I had prepared earlier, "I knew I would see you today, but I was afraid that I wouldn't have a chance to give it out, so I had to keep it with me all the time, and when I was alone, I would give it to Sister Yu, and a pair of luminous cups were for my mother, all of which were precious and well-intentioned gifts, I hope you like it-"

"Golden?" Sister stroked the thin, golden clothes in her hand, and finally spoke, "It's really a golden clothes!" The only one of its kind in the world! ”

She was amazed and a little deflated, and couldn't help but sink her face, "In the past, I had to give you all the things that were fun, beautiful, and unique, and now, I have also received your reward——"

"You sisters are together, support each other, be sincere with each other, what does it matter who gives whom, the important thing is to have each other in your heart! Mother sees you so affectionate, and she has no regrets! ”

"But what if it was me who entered the palace at that time?" muttered the elder sister.

"What are you talking nonsense?!" I heard my mother suddenly roar in a low voice, "That matter, Hugh has to mention it again!" Your sister can suffer for you, and she can become a master on her own! Besides, with your temperament, how many days can you last when you enter the house? Now your sister can be a princess, and it is also her own ability! ”

I looked at Sister A, who was stunned at this time, and suddenly felt a little sorry for Chu Huai - it turned out that to this day, he was still the second best choice in Sister A's eyes.
