In her previous life, she married into the East Palace, and there was no need for the Hou Mansion to intervene during the entire marriage period, or the Hou Mansion could not interfere at all, so she could only obey the arrangements of the palace.

It's not like this life, it's married in the Hou Mansion.

The sky is dark, the Xuanwu Hou Mansion is lit up, the lights are very dazzling, the Hou Mansion has also begun to prepare for the next day's wedding, and many relatives and friends have already arrived at the Hou Mansion today, and the huge Hou Mansion is full of joyful atmosphere.

Song Xuqing, who was to be married, sat quietly in the bedroom, listening to the chatter of the ladies in the family, but before she heard a few words, she was called to rest, saying that she would wake up early the next day to prepare.

However, before she slept for an hour, she was woken up and left to be fiddled with.

The auspicious time that the Heavenly Pavilion likes is in the early morning, and when the sky is about to dawn, it is the time to come to greet relatives.

The author has something to say:

Chapter 57: The Big Wedding

(Sake is still to be drunk)

Now almost at the end of the day, the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion is lit up, and the lights are bright like the morning sunrise, and the longing figure sways with the candle flame on the thin and bright window lattice paper.

Song Xuqing, who was dressed in a light cyan undershirt, half-squinted her eyes, and let the makeup lady sent by the palace smear her face, she was still tired, and she gradually woke up in the sound of footsteps one after another, and looked at the figure in the makeup mirror with slightly confused eyes.

Ming Yue walked over with a long wooden case, There were two small plates of nuts on the case, Looking at the girl with red lips and white teeth in the mirror, she was dazzled, and said half-loudly: "Girl, you need to eat a little, and you have to wait until after the ceremony." ”

Song Xuqing saw the chestnuts in the delicate and small pink glazed glass plate, sprinkled with finely crushed iced sugar frosting, she pinched one and put it in her mouth, The faint aroma of chestnuts mixed with the dense sweetness did not disappear into her mouth.

The corners of her mouth curled up in a beautiful arc, "You go and use something, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until the evening like me."

The auspicious time is the time of the rising sun, after the wedding ceremony, Pei Muyao needs to go to the Nanjian Temple to worship the Buddha, and then enter the palace to worship the ancestors, before completing the auspicious ceremony and returning to the house to rest, and finally under the control of the palace mother, welcome into the cave room to share meals is the real ceremony.

After this series of processes, early morning to late night is not just talking.

Looking at the girl who was smiling, those watery and clear eyes stared at her, Ming Yue was stunned for a while.

Song Suqing raised his finger and snapped his fingers, "What do you think, I'm stunned."

"The girl is so beautiful today." Ming Yue listened to her question and subconsciously replied.

The makeup lady who was outlining her lips for Song Suqing raised her eyes slightly and smiled: "How can a bride not be beautiful." ”

"It's my girl who was born beautiful, and a little makeup powder is even more moving." Ming Yue retorted solemnly.

The makeup lady is very approving.

Song Suqing bit the chestnut's slightly bulging cheeks, because the joke of the two was inadvertently dyed with crimson, who was praised for being beautiful, who was not happy, she had a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, and silently bit the chestnut.

After using some food, the newlywed makeup was almost finished, the dark green wedding dress fluttered with the candlelight, and the layers of inner lining tightly outlined Song Suqing's figure.

Xu dressed up and waited for her in the outer courtyard of the Nuan Yu Pavilion, and when she caught a glimpse of her daughter's beautiful face, the smile on her face became more and more intense.

Standing in front of her was the old lady Song with slightly excited eyes, and the old lady who rushed back from the suburbs of Beijing looked at her granddaughter who came slowly, and her eyes flashed in front of her delicate and lovely figure when she was young, and her eyes were a little more moved.

Mrs. Song took Song Suqing's hand and held it in her palm, patted the back of her hand slightly, and led her step by step to the Song family ancestral hall.

After taking care of it for most of the morning, Song Suqing did not have a sense of urgency to get married, until she stepped into the ancestral hall and looked at the lights that were lit in the inner hall at some point, and there were fresh melons and fruits on the ancestral hall table to eat, she knelt and listened to her father's worship words, and the morning sun outside did not know when it had risen.

Song Yi caught a glimpse of the morning sun outside the carved window, his straight back bent down again, his head knocked on the cold ground, and then he got up and walked to the side of the table, picked up the fine-mouthed moire wine jug and poured sake into the wine cup.

Song Suqing got up and walked to the outside of the ancestral hall with the support of the Xu family, handed her hand to Aunt Huayi, who was waiting at the side, and bowed her head.

Aunt Huayi bent her knees, took Song Suqing's hand and raised it, and said softly: "Girl, don't look back." ”

Song Suqing was slightly stunned, pursed her lips and walked with Aunt Huayi to the main gate of the Hou Mansion, and when she was about to step out of the main hall door, the painting screen that had been waiting for a long time handed over the fan used to block her face.

She took the fan to cover her face, and walked out of the Hou Mansion compound step by step, and the person who greeted her relatives was already waiting outside.

Pei Muyao was dressed in red, sitting on a horse, with a tall posture, even if he was dressed in dazzling red, his posture was like a winter cedar, and the people who couldn't look forward outside the Hou Mansion were also quietly discussing, for fear that if he was a little louder, he would break the tranquility at this time.

But it's too quiet, except for the sound of suona gongs and drums that resound through the sky from time to time, there is no sound, and the people who are far away in front dare to discuss it quietly.

Looking at this scene, someone finally couldn't help but say; "Is King Rui dissatisfied with this marriage? I didn't see him smile. ”

"I heard that this is a marriage proposed by His Royal Highness King Rui personally, how can I not be satisfied." His friend said.

"Since ancient times, women have been married, and men can not come to greet their relatives in person, especially His Royal Highness King Rui, if he is not willing, how can he come in person, he has come in person, how can he not be satisfied with this marriage."

"Haven't you heard that a few days ago, someone bumped into the prince and the girl of the Song family in Beijing, so sweet."

"Speaking of which, after my wife heard about it, she insisted that I also go and buy all the cloud cakes in the cloud cake shop on Chang'an Street, if I just don't like her."

"Hey, don't say it, the bride is out of the house!"

Song Suqing lowered her eyes and stared at the threshold of the Hou Mansion, crossing this threshold means that she has walked out of the Hou Mansion, and when others mention her again in the future, they will also say that she is Princess Rui, no longer the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion Song Suqing, let alone that she is the daughter of Xu and Song Yi.

She sighed a little in her heart, stepped over the threshold steadily, and looked head-on at Pei Muyao, who had dismounted and walked away at some point.

Through the fan outlined by silk, Song Suqing couldn't see him very clearly, and vaguely saw that the corners of his mouth had risen a little arc, and after getting closer for a few minutes, he could hear his overflowing laughter in his ears, clear and calm.

Aunt Huayi also smiled when she saw this, and handed her hand forward slightly.

Pei Muyao lowered his eyes and stared at the back of his white and translucent hand lying in his palm, the girl with these hands, and then his wife who walked hand in hand, was also the person he once loved, but in this life, she came to his side.

He took Song Xuqing's slightly cold hand and held it tightly in his hand.

The warm afterglow passed through the skin to his heart, and the cold palm gradually became the same temperature as his.

The sedan chair passed through the long street and the long road, and the people of Beijing heard the wind, and ran to the side of the street to wait for the arrival of the newcomers.

The wing room on the right side of the third floor was pushed away from the inside, Pei Yichen's figure flashed by from time to time, and after a while, a soft and boneless hand picked up the teapot and slowly poured tea into his teacup.

Pei Yichen withdrew his eyes and clasped her wrist, "Ning'er, I'm sorry, I can't ......"

"I understand your situation, you know, I don't ask for much." Gu Qinning had a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, but if she looked closely, she could see the sadness flashing in her eyes when she swept out the window, and she held Pei Yichen's palm with her other hand, "I am an orphan girl, I am already lucky to be by your side, how can I still think that it is your fault." ”

Pei Yichen didn't fail to see the sadness flashing in her eyes, listening to her words pretending to be indifferent, and cherishing her even more in his heart.

"My father has promised me that I will welcome you into the East Palace in the near future."

In the words of the emperor, it can be regarded as a small 'compensation' for his marriage.

When Gu Qinning heard this, his eyes lit up as calm as pond water, "Really!?" ”

"It's natural." Pei Yichen knocked her palm with his backhand, held it in his hand, and rubbed it for a while.

Gu Qinning's delicate lips raised slightly.

Pei Yichen raised his hand, his fingertips slid over the droplets of water at the corners of her lips, and pulled her up: "Let's go, go to the palace with Gu." ”

The smile in Gu Qinning's eyes became more and more intense, as bright as summer stars.

The more Pei Yichen looked at it, the more he felt that he couldn't help her in his heart, but at this moment, he couldn't ask too much, he took her to get up, and said in a deep voice: "Let's talk about it first, I won't wronged you." ”

"Okay." Gu Qinning, who was following him, replied in a coquettish voice.

The guard guarding outside heard the sound and opened the door, Mingyin, who was standing quietly on the side, raised her eyes, and after Gu Qinning came out, she followed her and left.

When she walked to the corner of the stairs, Gu Qinning called Mingyin over and said, "Ying'er, I want to eat the Huachaolu rice brew from the shop in the south of the city, you go and buy some for me and put it in the mansion, um......" She muttered for a moment and continued: "Remember to tell the shopkeeper that the rice brew can't be Shen Brew, I will use it recently." ”

Mingyin, who was called Ying'er, lowered her eyes and raised them suddenly, but she lowered her eyelids again after a while, "Slave maid, let's go." ”

After finishing speaking, Gu Qinning went down the stairs and left from the backyard with Pei Yichen to the palace.

The palace of King Rui was full of people, and the figures that could be seen everywhere were crowded in the courtyard, wanting to see the bride's face.

The long queue of relatives on the street appeared in the long street outside the palace in anticipation, and the housekeeper Liu Wei, who had been waiting for a long time, was busy talking to the inside, and the princes and ministers who heard the news in the inner courtyard also stopped gossiping and looked at the gate of the palace.

Aunt Huayi, who was following outside the sedan chair, leaned over and raised her hand to lift the curtain, "Princess, the sedan chair has fallen." ”

Song Suqing said 'um', pinched the handle of the fan with both fingertips, used it to block his face, bent over and leaned out of the sedan chair, before standing firmly, suddenly a hand was swung in front of him, and the next moment, Pei Muyao's voice came from his ears.

"Let's go, ma'am."

His voice was hoarse and deep, and Song Suqing didn't know if he heard it wrong, and even heard a little tightness.

However, the word lady also made her purse her lips nervously, and her white and translucent earlobes were sunburned red by the morning sun, like cherry pearls in the seasonal season, falling blood red.

However, what surprised her even more was that the emperor and queen also left the palace and sat quietly on the high hall and stared at the two of them.

Xu Jincheng saw Pei Muyao with a faint smile in his eyes, and he was also a little relieved in his heart, only to feel that he finally waited for the day he got married, and his daughter-in-law was still the person he liked.

When she heard Chen Shen's father-in-law shouting husband and wife to worship, Song Suqing couldn't help but close her eyes, knowing that all this was just a play, but as a person in the play, she couldn't help but get nervous at this moment, and her heart beat against her chest.

After the worship hall, it is not considered a ceremony, and the guests in the palace still need to wait here for the newlyweds to go to Nanjian Temple to worship the Buddha, and enter the palace to worship the return of the emperor before they can enter the seat, so they also need to wait in the palace all day.

After the wedding ceremony, Song Suqing returned to the main courtyard with the support of the maid, she sat on the bed, quietly waiting for the maids who came and went to bring in the items to disperse, she was the princess after all, and there would be no palace maid who dared to come to make trouble in the cave room, and after a while, the main courtyard was quiet.

Song Suqing slowly dropped his already stiff arm, and did not forget to hand the fan to Ming Yue halfway.

The painting screen gently pinched her arm, "It's not too late now, I'm afraid that the prince won't come back until three o'clock in the hour." ”

Song Suqing let her knead her sour arms, in her previous life, she was the crown princess, and she needed to go to Nanjian Temple with the prince to worship and then enter the palace to worship the emperor, and when she returned to the courtyard, she was so tired that she didn't want to say a word more, in this life, these things only need Pei Muyao to go alone, but it is a little easier.

The corners of her mouth opened slightly, and she was about to open her mouth when she heard light and rapid footsteps from the courtyard,

After a while, Pei Huilan's delicate voice came through the stone wall.

"Sister-in-law! I'm here to talk to you! ”

The three maids in the room glanced at each other, and hurriedly retreated to the side to wait.

Before Song Suqing had time to stand up, Pei Huilan had already run in in a hurry, and when he entered the door, he didn't forget to take the trimmed and dazzling flower branches from the palace maid.

She stepped forward to take the flower branch, inserted it into the vase handed by the painting screen, and asked suspiciously, "Shouldn't the princess also go to Nanjian Temple?" ”

"Bah, you are my sister-in-law, why do you still call me a princess." Pei Huilan pulled her over and walked to the table and sat down, blinked ambiguously, and said, "The third brother said that you should be bored alone, call me back to accompany you." ”

Song Suqing was made to laugh out loud by her frantically blinking eyes, "You can't go to Nanjian Temple anymore." ”

"There's nothing to go there." Pei Huilan waved his hand boringly, "In the past, when the third brother was there, I would often run over, but now that he is not there, I naturally don't have the heart to go there, and I go to listen to the monk's chanting, but it's boring." ”

Song Suqing knew that she didn't believe in Buddhism or God, so she handed her a glass of water, "Then wouldn't it be right for you to come and chat with me." ”

"Hmm!" Pei Huilan bowed her head heavily, looking at Song Suqing's festive outfit, and suddenly remembered what happened not long ago, when the corners of her mouth opened slightly, she caught a glimpse of the people waiting in the bedroom, sat up straight and waved her hand, and only after the maids left, she said: "Do you know that Xie Zijin is confined at home?" ”

Hearing this, the smile in Song Suqing's eyes dropped a little, and she nodded, she naturally knew.

Xie Zijin's desire to marry into the Rui Wangfu as a side concubine caused a stir in Beijing, not to mention the men and women who have already started a family, the young ladies who have not left the cabinet, and even the young children in Beijing have heard of it.

Unfortunately, it also happened to coincide with the first day of Zhang Miao's return to Beijing.

Although Zhang Miao and General Xie are both literate and martial, they have not had too many entanglements in the past, and the relationship between them is not bad, but they used extremely harsh words on the matter of the goddaughter of the General's Mansion this time, pointing out that what Deng and Xie Zijin did was not something that people could do.

Xie Zijin, as a woman who has not left the cabinet, vainly tries to meddle in royal affairs, which is a great crime of disrespect, and Deng, as a wife, does not discipline her children well but indulges her children, and the crime is one level higher, but it can be dealt with as appropriate in General Xie's life.
