Chapter 135 Marrying into the East Palace
When the palace maid heard Shen Huo's question, she thought about it for a while, but she had never come to the main hall, and it seemed that she had not left the East Palace, so she thought that she should be in the East Palace. Thinking of this, he raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Huo, and then replied: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the Crown Princess Niangniang should still be in the East Side Palace." ”
When Shen Huo heard this, he only bowed slightly, but he was thinking a lot in his heart. At this time, it was just the early dynasty, and this matter must not have reached He Suoyi's ears, and now he is back, but he doesn't know whether to tell her or not.
While thinking, he turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall. The steps under his feet were in the direction of the east side hall.
As soon as Fang entered the east side hall, Shen Huo raised his eyes and saw He Suoyi being playing with flowers and plants in the courtyard at this moment, stepped forward a few steps, walked in front of her, and called softly: "Yi'er." ”
He Suoyi heard the voice, then turned around, and saw that it was Shen Huo, so he blessed his body slightly, "Concubine body to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Shen Huo saw the appearance of He Zhiyi in front of him, and knew that she didn't know what was going on in the court today. For a while, he was also a little at a loss, and he didn't know whether to tell her or not, so he stepped forward and hurriedly helped her up.
He Suoyi saw all of Shen Huo's cramped appearances in his eyes, and suddenly became a little puzzled in his heart, and he didn't know why Shen Huo was suddenly a little wrong.
After thinking for a while, he finally frowned slightly, raised his eyes to look at Shen Huo's side face, and asked lightly: "Your Highness, what's wrong today, this is just the early dynasty, and there is something not quite right." ”
When Shen Huo heard He Suyi's doubts, he was even more at a loss in his heart, and his eyes were a little erratic. After a while, I finally mustered up the courage, anyway, these things will be known to He Suoyi sooner or later, so it is better to tell her first.
Thinking of this, Shen Huo raised his eyes to meet He Suoyi's puzzled gaze, and said slowly: "Yi'er, above the court today, Taiwei Chu asked his father for marriage, and his father has decreed that the daughter of Taiwei Chu will be married to the palace as a side concubine. ”
After saying this, Shen Huo's mood relaxed slightly, and he was not as nervous as Fang Cai, but he just quietly looked at the ground under his feet, waiting for He Suoyi's reaction.
When He Suoyi heard Shen Huo's words, his heart seemed to be turned upside down, his brows naturally frowned slightly, and he muttered in his mouth: "Chu He ......"
He Suoyi kept thinking in his mind, this Chu He is known as the title of "the first beauty in Xijing" in Xijing, and his family background is not bad, and his father Chu Taiwei's status in the court is not low.
Thinking of this, He Suoyi suddenly felt some invisible pressure on her, almost overwhelming her.
After thinking about it for a long time, He Zhiyi finally dispelled the doubts in his heart, since the holy decree has been issued, there is no room for maneuver, and no matter what he does, it is useless, so it is better to accept it like this.
Thinking of this, He Suoyi raised his eyes to meet Shen Huo's eyes, but found that Shen Huo's gaze contained a bit of guilt, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a light smile, comforting: "Your Highness doesn't have to be like this, the concubine understands that His Highness can't help herself." ”
After a pause, he began to analyze the current situation, "This Taiwei Chu's status in the court is not lower than that of his father, he is also a minister of the humerus in the court, and now that the emperor has also issued a holy decree to give marriage, there is no room for maneuver, and the concubine will naturally not mind." ”
Although He Suoyi said so, Shen Huo actually understood it in his heart. In any case, He Suoyi is just a woman after all, and since she has married herself, she has to give her wholehearted love.
Shen Huo gently took He Suoyi into his arms, left all his troubles behind, and only comforted him softly: "You don't have to worry, in the heart of this palace, you have always been the only one from beginning to end." ”
Such a sentence made He Suoyi seem to have taken a reassuring pill, and all the doubts and uneasiness in his heart have been dispelled.
Just when the two of them were warming up, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the palace gate, He Suo came out of Shen Huo's arms, and the two of them looked at the little eunuch who ran to this side in unison.
The little eunuch walked in front of the two of them and saluted respectfully, then raised his voice and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, Niangniang." The emperor ordered Qin Tianjian to choose an auspicious day, just three days later. ”
This little eunuch was not from the East Palace, so he was naturally not afraid of anything, so when he reported this sentence, he couldn't see any other expression.
Shen Huo and He Suoyi listened to the little eunuch's words, but they were not very comfortable in their hearts. glanced at each other, and then Shen Huo waved his hand slightly towards the little eunuch, "This palace knows, you go down." ”
Looking at the back of the little eunuch leaving, He Suoyi became more and more uneasy and worried in his heart. After the emperor gave the marriage, the wedding date was set for three days later, which was indeed a bit rushed.
But if you think about it carefully, this Chu Taiwei's status in the court cannot be underestimated, his daughter wants to marry Shen Huo as a side concubine, and the emperor will naturally not neglect this matter, it is reasonable, this wedding date is set in three days, and it is also reasonable.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is already three days later.
In the East Palace, the palace maids and eunuchs were very busy. After all, it is a major event for the crown prince to take the side concubine, and the candidate for this side concubine is not very human, but the daughter of Taiwei Chu, the first beauty in Xijing, Chu He.
He Suoyi looked at the East Palace, where red ribbons were hung everywhere, and he was naturally a little unhappy in his heart, but there was no way to show it, so as not to be gossiped by the people in the palace.
At that time, Chu Mansion was a joyful scene.
In the boudoir, Chu He was dressed in a wedding dress, his face was like a peach blossom, because he was going to marry the man he liked today, Chu Hezi at this time was also a little more beautiful than usual, as if he was a fairy descending from earth.
"Miss is really beautiful today, and the title of "the first beauty in Xijing" is worthy of the name. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sees him tonight, he will definitely not be able to hold it! The maid on one side looked at Chu He's face, envious, and involuntarily spoke.
When Chu He heard the maid's words, he immediately blushed a little, turned his face sideways, looked at the mirror on the side, and pretended to be angry: "You girl, don't make fun of me anymore." ”
Although Chu He said this, his heart was better than anything else, and there was a festive look in the depths of his eyes. When she thought that she was going to marry Shen Huo, who she had been thinking about for a long time, she entered the East Palace, although it was only a side concubine, but it also made her happy.
Outside the door, the sound of hurried footsteps was endless, mixed with the conversation of the maids and maids who came and went, but it was not noisy than usual, but a little more festive.
"The palanquin in the palace is here!" I don't know who shouted like this outside, and everyone in the room heard it.
Everyone glanced at each other, and then the maid helped Chu He, who was sitting in front of the mirror, up, "Miss, it's time to get into the sedan chair." ”
Chu He had a smile on his face at this time, and bowed his head slightly. As soon as I got up, there was a red patch in front of me, and I was already covered with a red hijab. With the support of the maid, he slowly walked towards the outside of the room.
While walking, looking at the ground under his feet, Chu He was already excited in his heart. I can't see anything in front of me, but I can see people coming and going on the road on both sides.
When Fang arrived in the courtyard, he heard the voice of Taiwei Chu in his ears, "He'er." Then he paused, lifted his hijab gently, and saw that Taiwei Chu was standing beside him, and called, "Father." ”
Taiwei Chu bowed slightly, stepped forward, and gently took Chu He's hand, quite reluctantly, "He'er, now that you want to marry the prince, it will be difficult to see each other again in the future, if you are bullied in the East Palace in the future, you must send someone to tell me." ”
When Chu He heard this, he was already in tears, shed two tears, nodded and choked and said, "My daughter will be fine, and my father should take care of himself." ”
Captain Chu raised his hand to wipe away the tears for Chu He, his eyes were full of reluctance, but he still forced a smile, "On this happy day, don't cry." ”
As soon as the words fell, a small guy came from outside the courtyard, and hurriedly said behind him: "Master, Miss, this happy cannon has been let go, let Miss get on the sedan chair quickly." ”
Listening to the little guy's words, Taiwei Chu reluctantly let go of the hand holding Chu He, and said quite seriously: "Go, don't miss the hour." As he spoke, he gently pushed Chu He forward.
Seeing this, the maid who was supporting Chu He hurriedly stepped forward and put down the hijab, and then carefully helped Chu He to walk towards the gate of the mansion.
This Chu Taiwei's status in Beijing is not low, and Chu He has always had the title of "the first beauty in Xijing", and today he will enter this sedan chair and marry into the East Palace. Naturally, the people in the city are more or less used outside the gate of this house, and even the whole street is bustling with people.
Captain Chu sent Chu He into the sedan chair, and at the moment when the sedan curtain hung down, his heart was extremely depressed and heavy. Although today is Chu He's great day, he is indeed not happy.
On the one hand, everyone in Beijing knows that Shen Huo and He Xiang's daughter He Suoyi are in love with each other, you and I are happy. On the other hand, Shen Huo also came to Chu Mansion a few days ago, and the last incident must have left a bad impression in Shen Huo's heart.
Thinking of this, Taiwei Chu was not in a good mood, and naturally lost the joy of the so-called daughter's wedding day.
Chu He, who was sitting in the sedan chair, didn't know this, but all the troublesome things couldn't compare to the joy of marrying Shen Huo as a side concubine today. Although she is only a side concubine, as long as she can be with Shen Huo, it is her greatest wish in this life.
"Get up the sedan chair-" With this sound, Chu He felt that the sedan chair was being lifted up, and it was moving slowly, and there was a particularly festive blowing and blowing sound from outside the sedan chair.
Because this time it is just for the crown prince to accept a side concubine, the so-called side concubine, after all, is to be inferior to the crown prince and concubine, this etiquette procedure is naturally a little less, but some of the necessary processes related to it are still carried out in an orderly manner.
