Chapter 39 Entering the East Palace
At this time, Lu Bingzhen's boudoir was a mess. Mama Feng, who has gone through two dynasties, just wanted to say to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, "Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess has not finished dressing up and the auspicious time has not yet arrived, how can Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess come out of the cabinet, and how many hypnotic poems you have composed are the same." ”
"Melting snow and melting snow, hurry up, Your Highness's Hua Tian just accidentally rubbed it crooked, hurry up and redraw it." "Come on, come on, someone, sort out this ribbon for me, so that I can free up my hands to draw flowers for His Highness." "Sister Rongxue, I'll come, I'll come, you go and get busy with Huatian."
Just after the matter of Hua Tian and the ribbon was dealt with, another little maid shouted, "Where is Your Highness's jade pendant?" Isn't it still on the table, if you can't find it, what can I do? ”
Mama Feng looked at the chaotic scene in front of her helplessly, and the maids who had always served Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess had already gone to the East Palace first, except for cutting ice and melting snow. Because according to the etiquette system, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess can only bring two maids into the palace today.
I thought that relying on a few grandmothers today would be enough to deal with the scene, but the famous Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to the Lu family in person, and even now it is outside the courtyard gate, everyone is a little panicked, and this is the chaos at the moment. Fortunately, I managed to get all the outfits before the auspicious time.
At the end of this pass, everyone in the boudoir even felt busy and sweating. Even if there were a lot of ice cubes in the boudoir, they didn't feel a little cool at the moment.
"It's coming, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is out of the cabinet."
With the loud singing of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, who was wearing a seven-fold Zhai robe, wearing a golden crown of flowers and trees, and holding a dragon and phoenix pattern woven gold inlaid jade fan to cover her face, finally walked out of Liuchunwu slowly with the support of the maid.
When an ordinary little lady goes out of the cabinet, the elders in the family always have to ask a few words. It's just that Lu Bingzhen's situation is different, she is Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, so naturally there is no one who is higher than her except His Majesty, the Queen Mother, the Queen and His Royal Highness the Prince, and naturally no one is qualified to teach her at the moment.
On the contrary, everyone in the Lu family wanted to salute her respectfully, and then follow her into the palace for the wedding banquet.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stepped forward, took Lu Bingzhen from the hands of the maids and grandmothers, and helped her all the way to the tired car.
As soon as he got into the car, Lu Bingzhen noticed that wisps of cold air came from the four walls of the car, and he probably felt that ice cubes were placed in it. Lu Bingzhen couldn't help but admire the intentions of the officials of the Ministry of Rites in her heart, but what she didn't know was that these were all orders from His Royal Highness the Prince.
The fan did not really block Lu Bingzhen's vision, she looked around and found that there were red mattress cushions everywhere in the car, and seven phoenixes were decorated on the cross wheel, which was second only to the queen's mother. The decoration in this disgusting car is also extremely luxurious, and there are even incense burners, incense treasures, incense treasures and other things decorated with claws on the desk.
The road from Fanyang Lu's house to the imperial city was not very long. After relaxing slightly, Lu Bingzhen put the fan on the table on one side. In the gap between the shaking of the frame, Lu Bingzhen could vaguely see the decorations on the street outside the window and the crowds of people crowded on both sides of the road.
At this time, Lu Bingzhen discovered that the streets of the entire imperial city were decorated with red brocade flowers, and it was expected that the same would be true in the palace.
The car stopped, and the curtain was suddenly opened. His Royal Highness the Prince's handsome face suddenly appeared in front of Lu Bingzhen, Lu Bingzhen didn't have time to pick up the fan that was placed aside to cover his face, so he could only be forced to look at His Royal Highness the Prince.
In today's scene, Lu Bingzhen saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again, and seemed to be in a different mood. In her panic, she could only pick up the fan again to cover her face, but she couldn't forget the moment when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lifted the curtain just now.
The sun was behind His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at her against the light, and the chaos and joy that emerged from his heart at that moment, Lu Bingzhen didn't understand why.
But right now, His Majesty, the Empress Niang, and the Chinese military officials of the dynasty were all waiting in the main hall, and the two of them could not afford to spend time here thinking about why.
Lu Bingzhen, who was supported by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and walked into the hall together, only felt that the prince's hand was clenched very tightly. She would raise her head and want to see the prince's expression at this time, but she could only regret to find that the prince had a standard subtle smile on his face, expressing her joy with restraint.
The two who got married today completed various ceremonies one by one under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of Rites. The process was long and tedious, until the official of the Ministry of Rites shouted, "Licheng!" Both of them breathed a long sigh of relief, and then asked the emperor to resign.
His Majesty looked at the two who had left together, and there was still a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes. His Majesty initially asked these two people to marry, but he wanted to take advantage of the prince's loss of power to drag the Lu family into the water together, and after the prince returned from the victory, he wanted to give the prince a few more side concubines to disperse the power of Confucianism.
But I didn't expect that neither of these would happen, and now Fan Yang Lu and the East Palace are closely united because of this marriage, and the prince has the support of new courtiers in addition to the Wen family, and the Fan Yang Lu family is gambling that His Royal Highness the prince will be able to become a great treasure in the next dynasty, and he will be able to prosper for another hundred years by virtue of his dragon merit.
But no matter how unhappy Your Majesty is, this superficial effort must still be done well. After the ceremony of the main hall was completed, His Majesty left first with the cold excuse that there was still the government to deal with.
In the East Palace, the ceremony has not yet completely ended, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is making a fan poem. Only when Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess hears the satisfied fan poem will she put down the fan in her hand to cover her face, so that the groom can see her face today.
After making a few fans a year, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess was not satisfied, but Mama Feng, who was waiting on the side, obviously felt that Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince was happier. It wasn't until the fifth song that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess finally took down the fan used to cover her face.
The clouds and temples under the fan finally saw the light of day. This time, it was no better than a glimpse in the car, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was finally able to take a good look at his bride. Su Ri, Lu Bingzhen doesn't like to dress up, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also used to seeing her sober and elegant appearance. Lu Bingzhen, who is dressed up today, gives His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a different kind of amazing feeling.
The picturesque eyebrows and eyes are even more intimidating under the embellishment of Huadian, with mantis eyebrows, bright eyes and bright teeth, double pupils cut water, and a sense of heavenly peach and plum in addition to the appearance of fairy jade. Obviously, I just saw it not long ago, but for some reason, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just felt that today's Lu Bingzhen was even more thrilling.
Under the long-term gaze of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Lu Bingzhen noticed a slight discomfort, and the crimson color slowly spread from her cheeks to her neck. The crimson color on the snow skin spread little by little, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finally left his sight.
Mama Feng hurriedly ordered people to spread the tent, tie the hair, and let people bring the wine. The newlywed Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess each held half and drank the wine in the scoop.
"Ah Rui, you got up early today, you might as well change out of Zhai clothes, eat something more, sleep for a while, and come back later." Lu Bingzhen nodded, and heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say, "Brush the frost and prepare snacks for Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess." ”
The smiling Princess-in-law reappeared in front of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, and behind him were the palace maids and eunuchs who acted in unison, and after offering all kinds of snacks to eat and groom up, they calmly retreated.
Cutting ice and melting snow carefully waited for her little lady to take off her clothes, remove the hairpin ring, and change into her bedclothes. Rongxue was careful, always worried about whether it would violate the palace rules to lie down and rest like this, but looking at Mama Feng on the side with the same face from beginning to end and not saying a word, she felt that it should not matter.
Mama Feng really thinks it doesn't matter like this. According to the rules of the palace, how could Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess be so relaxed at this time, and it was even more wishful thinking to go to rest after running out of snacks.
Generally speaking, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess has to sit on the bed in a regular manner, waiting for Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess to come back from the previous banquet, and waiting for Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess to be properly settled, before Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess can remove her makeup and change clothes before going to rest.
However, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came back from the imperial expedition, his temperament has become more compelling, and for his orders, everyone in the East Palace has no room for beaks.
Mama Feng saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said so, where did she dare to dissuade His Royal Highness the Prince. Mama Feng comforted herself in her heart, anyway, only the people in the East Palace knew about this matter, and the East Palace had already been rectified by His Royal Highness the Prince, and no news would be spread.
The others in the East Palace were silent when they saw that Mama Feng, who was the oldest, so they had no choice but to give up, pretending that they didn't see anything and didn't know anything.
Lu Bingzhen didn't sleep well at all last night, and he was busy all day today, so he was naturally tired and hungry. His Royal Highness the Prince's instructions were exactly what she wanted, and she had no appetite at this time, so she hastily drank a sip of porridge and fell asleep.
I don't know how long it has been, Lu Bingzhen felt in a daze that someone seemed to be watching her, she woke up from her sleep in a daze, and saw His Royal Highness the Prince, who was still wearing a whole set of standardized wedding clothes, was brushing open the curtain next to the bed and looking at her quietly, I don't know how long she had been watching.
Lu Bingzhen thought, no wonder I felt a light falling on my face just now, it must be because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lifted the curtain. What she didn't know was that just now she was lying between the red brocade futons, the hairpins were gone, the snow skin was beautiful, and the black hair was spread out behind her, this picture was simply not as beautiful as a mortal woman.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince deliberately lifted the bed curtain to wake her up, wanting to make sure that the girl she had secretly admired for a long time was still by her side.
Seeing her wake up, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled slightly, and his handsome face was even more bewildering under the light of the lamp and candle, "I heard Mama Feng say that you didn't use any snacks, are you hungry?" Anyway, I'm awake right now, why don't you eat a little bit and then sleep? ”
Just now extremely sleepy, Lu Bingzhen didn't feel hungry. Now that he had slept for a while, Lu Bingzhen was shocked to realize that he hadn't eaten anything all day, and swallowed the burning discomfort in his heart.
"Then thank you, Your Highness." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded noncommittally, and then a palace maid walked in with the same food.
