Chapter 89 Tanchun: But is Qing a strong enemy?
In the Beijing Palace, the three vermilion animal-headed doors were open, preparing to welcome the mistress of the palace.
At this time, there was a crowd of people in front of the palace. People came trotting over, shouting "Here we come!". For a moment, rituals and music were blaring. The old servant guarding the door used a bamboo pole to lift a firecracker. Another person lit it quickly, and the sound of firecrackers crackled.
After a while, Shui Rong led the vast welcoming team and carried the sedan to the front of the house. After getting off his horse, someone had already given him the soft bow that the bridegroom had used as a gift.
Shui Rong took the bow without panic, after all, he was used to bowing and horse riding.
The jacquard arrows are bent and shot on the sedan chair, which means to drive away evil spirits and ensure the safety and good fortune of the bride.
Then the bearers carried the big red sedan across the brazier, and the bride's wedding sedan was sent directly to the bridal chamber, while Shui Rong went back to the house to take care of her clothes and appearance.
Just as Shui Rong tidied up his appearance and moved to the main hall, a servant came to report that the emperor's imperial chariot came to the Prince's Mansion in Beijing in person.
Hearing this, Shui Rong raised his eyebrows slightly. The emperor came to congratulate him in person. This was truly unique!
He couldn't help but think too much, so he immediately went to the door of the house to greet him.
Outside the Prince's Mansion in Beijing, as Jin Yi's troops cleared the way, Long Chu followed suit. Shui Rong stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, Shui Rong, pays homage to you."
Emperor Yongkang, who was on the Dragon Banquet, got off the banquet. He came to Shuirong in a hurry and helped Shuirong up. He said with a kind face: "Today I am the elder brother here to congratulate you on your wedding. Xiaoliu doesn't have to." Very polite."
If an elder brother comes to congratulate you, is this "brothers and friends congratulate each other"? Emperor Yongkang called him a brother. Shui Rong couldn't help but think of Emperor Yongkang's words of "blood brothers" when he came to see the emperor after his filial piety period was over. His heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Brother, you said this. That minister I need your help with some small things, but you can't refuse."
Emperor Yongkang chuckled and said nonchalantly: "Since it is your big day, I will do my best to support you."
The so-called "You have no joke" is unreasonable and really grand. However, Shui Rong understood that Emperor Yongkang knew that he would not make excessive demands.
"My brother, it's not a big deal. I just want to ask the emperor to be my wedding officiant. I wonder if the emperor can appreciate this gift."
Since Emperor Yongkang wanted "brothers, friends and brothers to respect each other", Shui Rong would fulfill his wish. It is reasonable and reasonable that the sole responsibility of officiating the wedding would be the father, brother and elders.
Emperor Yongkang paused when he heard this. He didn't expect Shui Rong to let him be the officiant. He made some calculations in his mind. Most of the people who came to Beijing Palace to celebrate were honorable ministers. If he officiated the wedding, it would undoubtedly show that "brothers and friends" The feeling of "respect" also shows his kind attitude towards his honorable ministers, which is beneficial to him.
Not only that, but the person from Daming Palace will also soften his attitude a lot if he knows about this. Thinking of this, Emperor Yongkang couldn't help but look at Shui Rong. He was already extremely satisfied with Shui Rong's approach and wanted to give him a big gift. So he followed Shui Rong's words and responded with a smile: "This marriage is under my command." If this is the case, then I will be the one to officiate."
The emperor presides over the wedding, and this ceremony is not unimportant.
Seeing that Emperor Yongkang agreed, Shui Rong looked pleased. There was no precedent for an emperor to preside over a wedding. This time Emperor Yongkang agreed to this matter, which showed the transcendent status of the Beijing Palace. This will be very beneficial to Shui Rong in the future, and the cohesion below will be strengthened. If the profit goes up, there is no loss at all.
When the two were satisfied, Shui Rong welcomed Emperor Yongkang into the palace. The guests saw the emperor coming in person, and they had different thoughts. Especially when they knew that Emperor Yongkang was going to preside over the wedding, they were even more surprised.
In the main hall, Concubine Beijing was sitting in a formal dress on the high hall. She was more graceful and luxurious than before. As the water melted, Yuan Chun, who was wearing a phoenix crown and harem and a red silk hijab, came to the main hall with her wedding belt.
"Easy to rectify the universe, husband and wife are the beginning of human relations, poems are summoned, and marriage is the source of kingship. Therefore, the sound of the phoenix and its sonorous clang predicts its prosperity in the fifth generation."
Shui Rong looked at Emperor Yongkang who was singing loudly, and couldn't help but feel sad. Could this scene before him be regarded as the emperor's demotion?No matter what Emperor Yongkang's purpose was, it was really inexplicable for him to do this as the emperor. After paying homage, Yuan Chun was sent back to the bridal chamber first, while Shui Rong stayed behind to greet the guests. Especially the Yongkang Emperor, a distinguished guest among the distinguished guests, must not be neglected.
At dusk, everything is hazy, inside the new house.
Yuanchun was dressed in red and covered his head with a red hijab. He folded his hands in front of his lower abdomen and sat upright on the embroidered platform.
Tanchun glanced at Xi Niang who came from the palace, moved closer, took out a cake from his purse, handed it to Yuanchun quietly, and said softly: "Sister, the prince is entertaining guests in the front hall, and will be back in a minute." No, let’s eat some pastries to cushion our stomach.”
Yuanchun was moved when he heard this. He only ate some vegetarian food in the morning. He had been working hard all day and hadn't eaten yet. He was already very hungry and thirsty.
Pursing his lips, Yuan Chun took the pastry and ate it to prevent his lip makeup from being stained and degrading his manners.
Xi Niang pretended not to see it and stood aside minding her own business. After all, the other party was a serious princess and the emperor was presiding over the wedding, so naturally she would not lack discernment.
And generally speaking, it's normal for the bride to eat some cakes or something. If she really has an empty stomach, she won't be able to have a wedding with flowers and candles.
Yuan Chun was sipping when he suddenly heard a movement outside the house. He was startled. Could it be that the prince was back? But now he didn't have to entertain guests, so why did he do it so quickly? Without any time to think about it, Yuanchun hurriedly stuffed the cakes to Tanchun and sat upright on the embroidered couch. His delicate jade face was slightly flushed, and his heart was beating fast, as if he was being raped, and something was wrong.
Tanchun put away the cakes and looked at the door with his big and seductive eyes, his heart trembling a little.
Not long after, Tanchun saw two maids in festive clothes walking in, and felt a little sad. However, after thinking about it, it was normal. You need to know that the guests have not left yet. There is no time to come to the bridal chamber, so you don't want to come here to let loose. !Tan Chun whispered to Yuan Chun, "The prince is not here." Then he saw that the other party seemed to be holding a food box in his hand. His eyes moved, and he stepped forward and said, "I don't know who the two sisters are."
Although the other party is dressed as a maid, she is currently in the palace, and who knows who is the person next to her, so Tanchun addresses her more politely to avoid any misunderstandings.
Seeing that the other party was so polite, the two of them hurriedly returned the greeting and introduced themselves as the maids Yingluo and Xiangling beside Shui Rong.
Tanchun could tell at a glance which of the two was older and who was younger. Looking at Yingluo, she still said politely: "Sister Yingluo, I don't know why you are here."
The maid next to the prince came here. Could something have happened?This made Tanchun feel uneasy.
Yingluo said respectfully: "Girl, you don't have to be polite. Just call me Yingluo. The prince has ordered me to bring you some food."
With that said, Xiangling asked Xiangling to place the meals in the food box on the high table.
Seeing this, Xiniang hurriedly stepped forward and said politely: "Girl, this is not okay."
The bride has bridal rules, and the bride can ignore small tricks, but she cannot turn a blind eye now, especially when the bride is eating, not to mention whether the hijab needs to be lifted or not, the makeup will definitely not be preserved.
Yingluo heard the words and said with a smile: "Mommy, the prince said that you don't need to worry about these etiquettes, and let the princess eat first and then cover her with red silk."
With that said, Yingluo handed over a festive big golden nudity and whispered in a low voice: "Mommy, just pretend that you didn't see anything, and no one will blame you."
Xi Niang was still in a dilemma at first, but now that she saw the big golden naked body, she became interested. Moreover, this was also the prince's order, so she simply pretended that she didn't see anything.
Thinking of this, Xiniang sent Jin Naozi to her subordinates, said something to herself about going out for a walk, and then left the house.
Seeing this, Yingluo felt proud, put on a smiling face, and said respectfully to Yuan Chun who was sitting on the embroidered couch: "Princess, my servants are waiting to serve you."
The prince has said that this is the time for her to sell well in front of the princess, so she has to work hard.
When Yuanchun heard that the prince specially prepared a meal for him, his heart warmed up. He just thought that Xi Niang's words were not bad. This was a rule. The prince agreed, but she could not break the rules.
I just thought that it was inconvenient for the bride to talk too much, and I felt a little embarrassed.
Tanchun understood this situation and stepped forward and said politely: "Sister Yingluo, the princess has just eaten some cakes, so she is not hungry."
Seeing Tan Chun come forward, Yuan Chun couldn't help but feel relieved for a moment. Grandma and others asked Tan Chun to come and marry the concubine. It was indeed the right choice, but she was really hungry because she was empty.
Yingluo knew the princess's scruples, so she hurriedly said to Tanchun: "Girl, the prince has always been easy-going and doesn't care about such things. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked the slaves to bring food. If the prince comes later, he will know The princess is hungry all the time, so she still feels distressed."
When Yuan Chun heard Yingluo's words of distress for the prince, her face couldn't help but blush, and she felt extremely sweet in her heart.
Tan Chun saw that Yuan Chun didn't reply, so he continued to decline politely, and even changed the topic and started asking about the prince's temperament.
Yuanchun sat quietly and listened, and he admired Tanchun Linghui more and more in his heart. With the help of this sister in the future, he would not seem to be weak.
Not long after, Tanchun's eyes brightened, and he suddenly asked: "Sister Yingluo, by the way, I heard that there is a Miss Qin in the palace, does sister know about it?"
Miss Qin in the palace was the main reason why Tanchun came as a dowry. For her, Tanchun only heard of her name but didn't know who she was, so she wanted to find out something about the prince's personal maid so that she could make plans in advance.
At this time, when Yuan Chun heard the name of Miss Qin, she crossed her legs unconsciously. She knew that Miss Qin was the prince's favorite. What kind of person was she that could attract her husband's favor? How could she treat his concubine? He is kind, but if he is pampered too much, he will always feel uncomfortable.
Yingluo didn't realize he was there. She knew that the person in front of her was the princess's sister, the prince's concubine, and the owner of the palace, so she answered all questions: "Well, Miss Three, I know that Miss Qin is the prince's concubine." .”
In the palace, Qin Keqing was regarded as a concubine, and Yingluo was not surprised.
Tan Chun heard this and asked with a smile: "Then Miss Qin can win the favor of the prince, but I don't know what kind of appearance she has."
Yingluo's eyebrows were dancing and she said: "Then Miss Qin behaves properly, everyone in the house likes her, and she is also handsome. I don't know how to describe it. Even my calves are weak when I see her!"
Tanchun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, which made his daughter's family feel weak in their knees when they saw her. What kind of romantic child should she have? Could it be that she is a fairy descending to earth? Yingluo couldn't describe Keqing's appearance for a while, but suddenly she had a flash of inspiration, pushed Xiangling out, and said in a clear voice: "This girl Xiangling is a little worse than Miss Qin, but she is also [-]-[-]% similar."
When Tan Chun heard this, he looked at Xiang Ling in surprise. His neat appearance was very similar to that of Miss Qin. Tan Chun already knew how charming and graceful Miss Qin was.
She has a charming appearance and is loved by the people in the house. If Miss Qin has thoughts that she shouldn't have, wouldn't she be a powerful enemy? (End of this chapter)
