Chapter 9: The Aftermath of the Seal
The day soon came to the day of Zhou Yun'er's post-sealing ceremony, and the palace was full of joy, only Xiao Junyan's Heart Nourishing Hall had a dull atmosphere.
The steward and eunuch Sanquan had urged the Son of Heaven to change into a crown for the third time, but the Son of Heaven was unmoved, and he was engrossed in reviewing the recitals.
When Yue Ling helped Mrs. Zhou to urge Xiao Junyan, what he saw was the scene of the Son of Heaven being diligent in political affairs and working hard.
If it is written by a historian, a generation of Ming Jun will be conscientious in order to benefit the society, and he will also be conscientious on the day after the seal.
"Ah Yan, why aren't you ready yet, today is your good day, and the auspicious time should not be delayed." Empress Dowager Zhou has already adopted a gentle strategy, and now she treats her son like a loving mother.
"Yes, it's time for the royal brother to change his clothes." Yue Ling, who was still waiting to see a good show, also persuaded him, if the protagonist was not on the spot, how would he sing the drama after the ceremony.
Xiao Junyan saw that her mother and sister were urging herself, and finally she was willing to put down the government affairs in her hand and let Sanquan take everyone to wait and change her clothes.
Yue Ling and Empress Dowager Zhou were waiting outside, and soon saw Xiao Junyan coming out.
The Son of Heaven is already handsome and extraordinary, and with the blessing of clothes, the first beautiful man in the world is worthy of his name. Yue Ling couldn't remember how he was deceived by this skin in the first place.
If he had known that there was a wolf's heart and dog lungs hidden under this good-looking skin, Yue Ling would never have fallen in love with Xiao Junyan. The past is like smoke, love is scattered with the wind, and today's Yue Ling is no longer the innocent and simple girl she used to be.
The ceremony after the closure was very lively, even though Xiao Junyan didn't like this Zhou Yun'er, but after all, there was the Queen Mother behind the Zhou family, and Xiao Junyan let the Queen Mother Zhou toss, and followed the scenery of the ceremony with the six departments.
When Yue Ling was sealed, because the new emperor hurriedly ascended the throne, everything was simple, and she stupidly moved directly from the East Palace to the Ganquan Palace.
Xiao Junyan promised to make up for her a grand and rich ceremony in the future, but later sent her all over the house, and now I think about it, I am afraid that Xiao Junyan has already had the intention of moving the Zhou family.
It's really unkind!
Yue Ling looked coldly at Xiao Junyan and Zhou Yun'er, who were carrying out the ancestor worship ceremony, and was distracted for a while, and the Empress Dowager Zhou screamed twice before she reacted.
"Yongjia, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? ”
"After returning to my mother, my sons are fine, but I feel a little touched when I see Cousin Yun'er become the queen." Yue Ling said coldly, "It was supposed to be Ping'er's cousin, but now she is ......"
The words ended, but a small pebble successfully knocked the ripples in the heart of the Empress Dowager Zhou. She actually hurt Zhou Ping'er more, otherwise she wouldn't have been recuperating in Shoukang Palace.
It's just that the Zhou family needs this rear position, and Zhou Ping'er doesn't know if she can wake up, so she can only protect Zhou Yun'er in the back position.
"I will let the Imperial Doctor heal well, and strive to let her wake up as soon as possible, and her share of Yun'er's glory in the future will be indispensable. Yun'er is also a good one, and their sisters are all blessed. Empress Dowager Zhou seems to be hypnotizing herself, trying to make herself accept this unexpected ending. target
Yue Ling nodded: "If Cousin Ping'er knew that so many people cared about her, she would definitely be reluctant to continue sleeping." ”
After speaking, she stepped forward to help the Empress Dowager Zhou.
In Daliang, such a major event as a sacrifice, even the princess and queen mother must stand aside to show her awe of the gods and ancestors.
After a while, Yue Ling was really worried that Empress Dowager Zhou would not be able to hold on.
The ceremony was still in progress, and suddenly the jade Ruyi held in Zhou Yun'er's hand broke into two, which frightened Zhou Yun'er into many pieces by mistake. Such an unlucky thing made the ceremonial official in charge of the sacrifice so frightened that he fell directly to the ground.
"The emperor forgives his sins!" If there is such a mistake, maybe his official career will come to an end.
"Someone! Drag it out and cut it down! Xiao Junyan was about to get angry.
"Wait! Your Majesty, today's happy event should not see blood, it is better to put it in prison first and then deal with it. Empress Dowager Zhou couldn't bear to let the big day be stained with unclean things, and opened her mouth to stop Xiao Junyan.
Afraid that the ceremony would be interrupted like this, Yue Ling also echoed the voice: "Yes, Brother Huang, let this fool go for the time being on the big day, and then deal with the crime when everything is over." ”
After thinking about it, Xiao Junyan bowed his head and ordered the ceremony to continue.
Zhou Yun'er on the side silently watched the shocking changes, her heart was very nervous, and her back was already sweating.
After completing the sacrificial ceremony, the emperor and queen had to walk to the high platform and face the worship of everyone together. Generally speaking, the emperor and queen will walk hand in hand, but Zhou Yuner is so gorgeous and extravagant. The queen's auspicious garments were adorned with precious stones and treasures, and her clothes were extremely heavy, and her steps to ascend were slow and difficult.
Xiao Junyan, who was impatient, took the first step and left Zhou Yun'er behind. The new queen was in a hurry, and the steps under her feet were not orderly, and she stepped on the skirt several times in a panic.
Many people see the new queen's faux pas in their eyes, but in the end, the imperial power is above, and they will not show ridicule of the new queen on their faces.
Yue Ling counted the time, thinking that the excitement should come soon. Her eyes fell on Zhou Yun'er tightly, expecting that under the watchful eyes of everyone, the queen would lose her royal face.
Zhou Yun'er's steps became slower and slower, she felt the sound of the cloth tearing, it seemed that something was wrong, and she couldn't say it. Under the gaze of everyone, she could only stubbornly continue to walk to the high place.
"Hurry up!" Xiao Junyan saw Zhou Yun'er's slower and slower pace, frowned, and said in a deep voice.
"Cousin, I ......"
With a "hiss", Zhou Yuner's auspicious dress was torn into several pieces, and a pair was half-hung on her body, which could not cover her graceful figure at all, and a few pieces of clothing fell at her feet, unable to cover the scenery under the skirt.
"Brother Huang!" Yue Ling deliberately spoke out, attracting the attention of countless people to gather on the high platform.
Zhou Yun'er was extremely helpless at the moment, she bent over and squatted on the ground, she was the queen, she was a golden body, and she could only be seen by those ordinary people under the high platform.
No matter how simple the people are, they can't condone the woman to undress in front of the public, not to mention that this person is still their mother of the country.
The mother of a country can represent the face of the beam.
"Long live the emperor, long live the queen!" The Zhou family was also dumbfounded, but there were still people with clear brains, who quickly knelt on the ground, eager to bury their eyeballs in the ground and couldn't see anything.
And all the courtiers also bowed down one after another, burying their heads deep in the ground, and turning a blind eye to everything on the high platform.
"The ceremony has been completed, so don't you hurry up and help the queen mother to carry out the next ceremony." As soon as Empress Dowager Zhou's golden mouth opened, who would dare to question that her personal mother had already taken her cloak to the high platform to meet Zhou Yun'er.
The follow-up ceremony Zhou Yun'er naturally has no way to go on, and even whether Zhou Yun'er's position can be kept is a question.
But Yue Ling feels that Zhou Yun'er and Xiao Junyan are a perfect match, this queen doesn't give Zhou Yun'er to be, I'm afraid there is no one in the world who is more suitable, Zhou Yun'er's posteriority, she wants to keep it......
