Chapter 13: The Concubine
Zhou Lingqing's wounds are getting better day by day, and he will stay in Xinyuan when he is busy with political affairs. But like the smoke pavilion, he didn't forget to go for a day, no matter how busy he was, he had to take a leisure, go to lunch and drink afternoon tea or something.
And Zifeng's state is also much better, and he has returned to his calm and unhurried appearance, with his eyes above the top. She can not be humble and self-inferior, not heartbreaking, I am indispensable-she saw in Xinyuan that Zhou Lingqing and I not only slept in separate rooms, but also did not even have a trace of care, it was really just a simple and transparent doctor-patient relationship, so it was balanced in an instant-it turned out that I was promoted to the princess, and I was really just the one in the palace, and I didn't want to let the palace add more people!
In fact, "Zhou Lingqing doesn't have any thoughts about me", even Xiao Jiu doesn't know very well, because Xiao Jiu is still a child who has never been "enlightened", she only deserves more rewards, and gives me to be a princess, and she is willing to show me when she is injured and embarrassed, and she is already very favored for a while - silly child, hurt and painful, and most unwilling to share it with the person on the tip of his heart, such as the one in the Smoke Pavilion, who is the one he wants to protect and holds in the palm of his hand.
But in recent days, even Ruyan Pavilion couldn't make him happy, I looked at Zhou Lingqing, who had a black face all day, and couldn't help but be confused, until the bright holy decree arrived at the house, and my father-in-law's sharp voice sang the will, and I "suddenly opened up".
It turned out that seven days later, the eighth day of the ninth month was the concubine ceremony, and the white moonlight of the family was going to become the official concubine of this dynasty, and the saint "invited our family" to watch the ceremony, from the father-in-law's sharp voice mixed with a little hoarseness, it is not difficult to see that he had read it at least seventy, eighty or ninety times before singing this will - his imperial brother was announcing it to the world.
So Zhou Lingqing, who lost his soul, has been either busy with government affairs in the past few days, or he has been drunk and dreaming in the Ruyan Pavilion, and Ruyan has asked the little guy to invite me to hangover tea again and again, and finally simply moved my big jar - it is really a forcible robbery!
Zhou Lingqing, who was so sloppy and indulgent, when he appeared in front of me on the day of the ceremony, he was radiant and well-dressed.
"Long time no see—" he greeted me in the mirror, who was rubbing rouge.
"Yes, long time no see—the hangover tea is finished, and the jar should be returned, otherwise it would be difficult to borrow it again—" I said in a bad tone.
"Stingy." He hummed and concluded his remarks.
"What's so tight about hangover tea? I just want the prince to have a snack on your body, and it is good to drink and have fun, not to mention that the prince is omnipresent with swords, guns and swords, and there is a steady stream of new injuries and old scars, so it is a group of people who are afraid of drinking, if one day, he dies in the drinking field, isn't it a joke to spread it? I persuaded with all my heart.
"You said a lot, it's not a big pot of tea that feels sorry for you, this king will let people return it tomorrow-"
I gave him a blank look - the guy who doesn't eat oil and salt should die early and be reborn!
"There won't be anything like this again, I know you're looking out for me......" He suddenly got serious, looked at my coat beside him, and said, "It's getting colder, you should make some new clothes—"
Count him as having a clear conscience!
Xiao Jiu turned the stubble back at this time, and she smiled, "Lord Lao is worried, Sister Zifeng has already ordered it to go down!" ”
Ah, make me clothes, why don't I know?
"Zifeng?" This guy also questioned.
"Yes, the prince and noble man are so forgetful, you allowed Sister Zifeng to be on an errand in Xinyuan!" Xiao Jiu replied smartly.
Zhou Lingqing was silent for a long time before saying, "Let her-"
At this time, it was a coincidence that Zifeng entered the house with new tea, and when she saw Zhou Lingqing, she saluted from a distance, and stood aside angrily and pretended to be unfamiliar.
I was dominated by a few little maids, and it was not easy for me to get up and play round, and finally put on my clothes and jewelry in such an extremely unharmonious atmosphere, and stepped into the carriage waiting outside with Zhou Lingqing.
The princess's formal dress was very cumbersome, and it seemed crowded and cramped in the sedan car, and there was almost no gap between me and him.
So when he lowered his head and spoke, it almost seemed like he was close to my ear.
He said, "Zhao Leming, today, you still have a task, which is to go to my mother's Yongning Palace to get the secret letter she left before her death——"
Was this task a temporary idea for you? Is it so sloppy that you don't need to consult with each other? That's a nice thing to say, it's so easy to take, why don't you take it!? I think it's a thief!
No wonder I changed my temperament today, and I was close to it, and sure enough, the drunkard didn't mean to drink!
"Look at what I'm dressed today, it's hard not to be noticeable...... "I looked at my face with a hard look of embarrassment.
"Not afraid of being noticeable—"
Isn't it, my "glamorous" days have only been a few days? Is it a lifetime of funeral in exchange?
"You don't have to think about it, listen to my instructions and look at my face when the time comes—"
Laughing to death, what tacit understanding can we have? Is it too late for me to jump out of the car?
I began to worry about my life, and I couldn't help but start sweating, so outside the noon gate, when he took my hand out of the car, he felt a water stain on his hand, which gave him the material to tease me, "You are the most timid and daring person I have ever met——! ”
He spoke eloquently.
Being timid as a mouse is the preciousness of life, and being bold is the necessity to go to the poor place of water! Ignorant guys! - I give him the white eyes again.
Soon a palace person came to lead the way, so the group walked east, only to see more and more people, and finally stopped when they reached the crowded scene.
The big man has not yet appeared, only some royal officials, at the bottom of the heavenly steps, the three of them are chatting in pairs, and there are also some officials and wives dressed ceremoniously gathered together in the parents' room, I stood beside Zhou Lingqing, a little overwhelmed, but he naturally buckled my waist and whispered in my ear, "Don't be nervous, I'm here." ”
His eyes sparkled brightly, genuinely and convincingly, and for a moment I almost fell into it.
But the sudden uproar on the side pulled me out again—I saw the grand duke on the stage, hissing at the top of his voice, "The emperor has arrived-"
Then the crowd fell to their knees.
"Zhong Aiqing's flat body-" A low and majestic voice came, and everyone slowly stood up, I raised my eyes and secretly looked at the Son of Heaven who was walking the heavenly steps, and directly froze - or do you say that someone is the Son of Heaven?
He has good facial features and can't see the wind and clouds, but he has an aura that is not angry but powerful. The forehead is tied to the eyebrows of the two dragons to grab the pearl gold wipe the forehead, the bright yellow dragon robe is embroidered with the pattern of the dragon soaring in the air, the corners of the robe are golden waves, and the sleeves are carried high by the wind.
I was stunned, the heroine of this scene appeared, she came from the other side of the heavenly steps, wearing a red and yellow gold and silver silk Luan bird Chaofeng embroidered court dress, the skirt robe was sprinkled with dazzling pearls, a black hair like ink holding a flying bun, wearing a gold-plated phoenix hairpin, Chaoyang five phoenixes hanging beads hairpin, her face hidden behind the tulle can not be seen, but just looking at the figure can also know - it has to be the posture of heaven and man.
At this time, I realized why Zhou Lingqing could swear that he was not afraid of attracting attention - this problem, except for the "heroine", no one needs to think about this issue today.
The whole process of sealing the concubine is really different from the cumbersomeness of my "sealing the concubine" that day, people only worshiped heaven and earth, and then the emperor said a few words of congratulations, about half an hour, just, knot, bundle, it!
Then everyone turned to the battle and went to the Taihe Hall for dinner.
Thanks to Zhou Lingqing, a "big official", our table was placed in the first row at the front of the room. After everyone in the hall said hello to the emperor's rainbow fart, they began to push and change cups among colleagues, and even a few ladies I didn't know well came to greet me politely.
The crowd dispersed, and the last one to come forward with a wine glass was Sister A!
"Sister! You're there! I finally saw someone familiar and suppressed my excitement and pulled her to sit down.
She struggled to shake me off, her face slumping, "Am I too?" I shouldn't be in a place like this, should I? She raised her hand and pointed to the official's table, "Look, now you and I are different, and it is common not to know me." ”
I want to stop talking - then you don't know how glamorous I am today, but you have to pay for it for the rest of your life.
"Le Ming-" At this time, Zhou Lingqing, who didn't know where to go to socialize, shouted my name and walked over.
"Hmph, since you are so inseparable, then I wish the two of you a hundred years of good together-" Sister Ah saw him coming, glanced at me, drank the wine in her hand, and left a "blessing" to pass by me.
"Don't look at it, people are far away-" Zhou Lingqing said coldly, and manually asked my arm to put his arm around him, "Let's go, go to the front and reply-"
I walked with him absentmindedly, but I didn't want to end up in front of the Holy Cross, and then I realized that what he said was to go to the front to reply, but it turned out to be the words of "this one".
I knelt down with my head bowed and asked An to say auspicious words, and the emperor was also kind, and he smiled and let me get up.
"Raise your head, I will see what kind of woman can accept Ling Qing like this!"
I see that the gossip you hear is by no means authentic gossip.
I tried to purse my lips, kept a dignified smile, and slowly raised my head.
I think we're all surprised.
Emperor: This... The first beauty in Chang'an is nothing more than that, at most she is just delicate, and my people's aesthetics are not good.
Me: He...... The person sitting next to him, why is it so familiar? Oh my God! The facial features are four, the face is complexion, and the smoke is like smoke!
At this point, my mind suddenly cleared.
Zhou Ling Qingming has a clear heart, but he often lingers in the Ruyan Pavilion, and he has taken care of Ruyan for many years, which makes Xiao Wu Xiaoqiao and Xiao Wang crazy and helpless, so that Zifeng is troubled every day that her face is not beautiful enough, although she is less than the above, she is more than me!
That's right, it's a famous stand-in terrier again!
"You... What are you staring at my concubine? The emperor was puzzled.
I was suddenly opened up to the second pulse of Ren Du, and I was much more sober!
"The auspicious glow between the eyebrows of the concubine Niangniang, which makes people look at it, and can't take their eyes off-"
It's still the same sentence, sycophants don't wear it.
