Chapter 32: The Crown
"Miss, let's hurry up, finally catch up!"
Hou Yi's "outstanding" appearance attracted the attention of passers-by, but he was used to it since he was a child, and he could turn a blind eye and just look at the young lady in front of him.
Su Zijin stopped at the city gate and looked at the big text on the gate of Kyoto, "Let's go, let's go into the city." ”
Su Zijin dismounted and led the horses to the city slowly.
At this time, just after the hour, the city gate came and went. Su Zijin led the horse, and Hou Yi and others followed behind his young lady and lined up to enter the city.
The group of people did not look easy to provoke, but the wind and dust were extraordinary, the city gate guards only glanced at it and let it go, and after the group entered the city, they walked straight to the palace gate along the middle street avenue.
…
At this time, in the Qiande Hall in the palace, the crown ceremony of the fourth prince Qin Jing was being held, and the protocol sang:
"On the auspicious day of the month, the first Canadian dollar is served. Abandon your young ambitions, and become virtuous. Shou Kao Wei Fu, Jieer Jingfu. ”
Looking at the tall steps of the main hall, the tall figure of the four princes, everyone was solemn, but also a little unstoppable.
"In a blink of an eye, the four princes are also adults, I think that back then, when his eldest brother crowned the ceremony, it was in the Taishe Palace, at that time, we were on the juncture of life and death, and the crown ceremony of the eldest prince boosted people's hearts, so that we could make a big move to the world and ascend the throne with His Majesty. Now that time has passed, the eldest prince has been gone for many years. In previous years, the crown ceremony of the prince was simple to handle, but this year, His Majesty finally thought about it and held a grand crown ceremony for the four princes. ”
Yongyihou's words made everyone present suddenly feel that everyone seemed to have returned to the time when the eldest prince was still there, and everyone followed His Majesty to work together.
"Well, don't talk about it before. Your Majesty has finally regained his heart, let's not mention those who are disappointed. Our brothers follow Your Majesty, and now is the time to enjoy the blessings of the future. In other words, I heard that the four princes have been rumored to be married, why haven't you seen them today? ”
As everyone spoke, their eyes looked at the general Wuhou Su Wu on the side.
Su Wu didn't seem to hear everyone's discussions, and watched intently at the appearance of the four princes in the field solemnly saluting and crowning.
Everyone looked at him pretending to be serious, looked at the front, and saw that His Majesty and the official did not notice this, Yongyi Hou secretly raised his foot and kicked the Wuhou in front.
Wu Hou hesitated, but he still did not move with his extraordinary physical fitness, stood firm, and swung his tail like a scorpion like lightning, and was in the middle of Yongyi Hou behind.
"Oh!"
Yongyi Hou snorted, was glared at by His Majesty sitting on the stage, hurriedly straightened his expression, and didn't dare to make any more trouble, but his mouth didn't stop, and he whispered to Wuhou in front, "Hey, Lao Su, what's wrong?" I heard that your daughter was given to the four princes by His Majesty's Chrysostom, why didn't you see your daughter come forward for such a big event as the crown ceremony of the four princes today, and I only saw you husband and wife just now? ”
Su Wu stood upright in front, ignoring the brave and resolute Hou Cheng Jin in the back. Cheng Jin saw that the Marquis of Wu in the front row was silent, and kept stabbing Su Wu in front of him with his hand.
His Majesty, who was sitting on the high platform, twitched in his forehead, and forcibly ignored the few people who were making trouble in the audience, only focusing on his fourth son, who put on a dark dress and robe under the service of the ceremonial officer.
"Jing'er is an adult today, I will take the word Ji Zhen for you, and I hope that you will comb your stubbornness from now on, and your ancestors will be benevolent and righteous, and you will cultivate Qi Zhiping."
The four princes saluted solemnly, "Although the son is not sensitive, treat him with respect and caution." ”
"Okay, come on, Shangli wine!"
His Majesty personally brought his four sons to the concierge people today, and everyone worshiped them even more respectfully.
"Toast to Qin Guogong, if it weren't for Qin Guogong back then, your father would still be farming in the fields."
"Your Majesty has tormented your ministers."
Qin Guogong, who had white hair, waved his hand again and again, and Qin Jing held the wine cup and presented it to Qin Guogong, "Qin Guogong, please." ”
Qin Guogong couldn't refuse, took the wine cup and drank it all.
"Your grandfather doesn't need to say much, I respect your grandfather."
The smiling Xu Guogong took his grandson's wine cup, "Later, when we come to the wine banquet, I will also give your mother a glass to make her happy." ”
What Xu Guogong said is naturally the current queen.
Qin nodded, "Naturally, I want to see the queen mother." ”
After a few calm old men, His Majesty personally led Qin Jing to the side of the nobles, and before he could speak, he gave a kick to each person.
"It's a lot of fun, you think I can't see it?"
All the nobles avoided suspicion, "Your Majesty, it is Yongyi Hou Chengjin, you know his temperament, the monkey is very anxious, and if you want to know what it is, it is 100,000 urgent, and you can't wait for a moment." ”
The emperor's tiger eyes swept over everyone and landed on the isolated Marquis Yongyi.
"If you don't have anything to do, I'll kill you!"
Marquis Yongyi shrunk his neck and looked at His Majesty and the Fourth Prince who was calmly holding a wine cup behind him.
"No, it's just that the minister heard that the fourth prince has been married by His Majesty's Chrysostom, but today he doesn't see his fiancée, so he is a little curious."
Su Wu only stepped forward at this time, "Your Majesty, the little girl wrote a few days ago, saying that she would come to participate in the crown ceremony of the four princes, presumably at this time, it has already arrived." ”
"I just asked you, why didn't you say it?"
Yongyi Hou Chengjin gritted his teeth, and Su Wu looked over lightly, "I just want to see you scratch your cheeks in a hurry, what, no?" ”
The nobles smiled when they heard this, and the corners of His Majesty's mouth also rose, and the atmosphere between them at this time seemed to be as harmonious as if it was not a monarch or a minister, but a brother.
Su Zijin had already taken the invitation sent by the four princes early in the morning and entered the imperial garden from the north gate.
Today's banquet after the crown ceremony of the four princes is in the open space of the imperial garden. At this time, before the hour came, I saw one by one palace maids dividing flowers and brushing willows, holding fresh and rare melons and fruits, and arranging them on the table.
Su Zijin had never been to the palace, and he couldn't tell the difference between east and west, north and south, so he had to grab a palace maid and ask where the ladies and nobles were now, and she wanted to rush over to meet her mother, Mrs. Chang.
"This young lady, the ladies should be in the Fengyi Palace of the mother at this time."
Su Zijin looked at the sky, the sun was in the east, and it was almost noon.
"Let's go, take it to Fengyi Palace."
The little palace maid had no objection, and the obedient took the lead in front.
Today's crown ceremony of the four princes, starting from the time of the hour, the palace door is wide open, not only the Qiande Hall in front, the queen's Fengyi Palace is also a large number of people, there are always some noble girls who can't stay in the house, come to the imperial garden to hang out. However, everyone tacitly avoided the palace banquet place, and it was just in the verandah on the side.
The noble lady in front of her should have accidentally separated from everyone and strayed here.
Su Zijin was regarded as a lost noblewoman, and was taken to the Fengyi Palace of the queen's mother, and when she walked to the palace, Su Zijin saw Mama Lai waiting in the courtyard.
"Miss is finally here, the old slave has already borrowed a room from the palace people, you can follow me to tidy it up."
Mama Lai whispered, and then took Su Zijin and hurriedly walked to the side hall where people were able to sort out their clothes and rest.
As soon as he entered the side hall, Su Zijin took off his riding clothes, and before he changed into the dress prepared by Mama Lai, there was a salute outside.
"Hurry up, Miss, the crown ceremony is over, and the banquet will begin immediately."
