Chapter 428 Poem Cloud

Regarding the incident between the Son of Heaven and Mrs. Wei's Xiaofu, it is no longer a secret among the palace, and even the court and the public.Tokyo is very strict in the management and control of public opinion, not to mention talking about the emperor, so there have been no widespread rumors.

However, in the court, where can we really control everyone's mouths and dare not talk about the emperor, but the identity of Miss Fu is not so daunting.

Some remarks finally reached Liu Chengyou's ears.In the final analysis, it was Liu Chengyou's whim-like "joke" in the early years of Qianyou, which resulted in the appointment of the two ladies of the Fu family.

Liu Chengyou married Dafu and became the princess concubine. After succeeding to the throne, he was promoted to empress. It is very clear.

It's just that at the beginning, Liu Chengyou didn't pay attention to this, and he was a little concerned about the feelings of Empress Dafu. Gu didn't say anything, and kept it in Tokyo.On weekdays, there are also some contacts, and during festivals, there are also gifts and royal rewards.

Little lady Fu, needless to say about her appearance, Fu Yanqing was born beautiful, born in a noble family, and her personal cultivation and temperament were also very outstanding.Not as heroic and brave as her sister, but soft and gentle.

Although there is no relationship, for Xiaofu, even pure love of beauty is enough to make Liu Chengyou approve of him.In addition, the Empress Dowager Li also loves Xiaofu very much, and from time to time she calls her into the palace to talk and ask about her health, she has long been like a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

In the past three or four years, the young girl who was twenty-eight years old has become a big girl who is about to turn nineteen.After procrastinating for so long, Liu Chengyou finally decided that he should give an explanation, and by the way, take care of it together on the wedding with Wu Yue.

The preparations for the wedding cost roughly 10 million internal funds. This was the most extravagant time since Liu Chengyou succeeded to the throne, except for military affairs. It was extremely extravagant and very wasteful.

However, the two boats of dowry that Wuyue King Qian Hongchu gave were not only at this price, even if he shared a share with Liu Chengxun, it would still make up a lot.Wu Yue's wealth can also be seen from his appearance.

After a series of cumbersome ceremonies, when night fell, it was also the most lively stage of the wedding celebration. There were more than [-] banquets inside and outside the Long Live Hall. All civil and military officials of the fifth rank and above in the capital could bring their wives into the palace. Go to the banquet and celebrate with you.

In the Long Live Hall, rituals and music are played together, singing and dancing are on the same stage.

The Empress Dowager was delighted to be quiet, and could not bear such noise, so she returned to the palace after the ceremony.The same goes for concubines, according to the temperament of noble concubines and virtuous concubines, Liu Chengyou is unwilling to accept concubines, but he has to give face to his brother Liu Chengxun, and he will wait until the ceremony is complete.

Empress Dafu was still a little awkward and unwilling, but there was nothing she could do. She was both burdened by her status and Xiaofu's older sister, so she stayed with her all the time.

In this grand palace wedding banquet, there is only one person who is very uncomfortable in it, and that is the Southern Tang envoy from the north, Zhong Mo, the minister of rites.

He was ordered by Li Jing to go north to Tokyo to test the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Han Dynasty. When he first arrived in Kaifeng, he asked to see him, but he was hung and dragged, and Liu Chengyou did not meet him.Regarding the intention of the Tang envoy's visit, Liu Chengyou and his ministers had some guesses, and even didn't care about his purpose.

However, it was time for the Liu brothers to celebrate, and because of etiquette, they also invited Tang envoy Zhong Mo, who had been waiting in the hotel for more than half a month, to enter the palace and have a banquet.Originally, when he came to the north, he only prepared a gift, but when he learned that the emperor wanted to accept a concubine, he temporarily spent a huge sum of money to buy a pair of concentric emerald jadeite.

At this time in the palace, Zhong Mo was very uncomfortable, the northerners were too "rude", far less elegant than he was in the imperial banquet of the Tang Dynasty.With no one to get close to, Zhong Mo could only drink by himself, but he didn't forget to look around, observing the Northern Han monarchs and ministers in the palace.

On the throne is the Emperor Liu Chengyou of the Han Dynasty, with a high yellow crown, a wedding robe, a calm demeanor, and eyes like lightning, which is beyond words.The person squatting beside him and talking carefully to him should be Liu Chengxun, King of Huaiyang, who also has clear eyes and an overpowering aura.

Among the courtiers of the Northern Han Dynasty below, there are two old courtiers in python suits. They are Linqing Wang Gao Xingzhou and Wei Wang Fu Yanqing.Wei Wang Fu Yanqing returned to the court, not only for the emperor to accept his second daughter to enter the palace as a concubine, but also to report to Liu Chengyou the state of the Yellow River's defense and some military suggestions.

The two high-ranking and powerful heads of the country exchanged cups and exchanged cups, and had a lively conversation, which seemed to be a good deal.

Except for Feng Dao, Zhong Mo didn't know all the other famous ministers in the Han court, or he only heard their names but didn't know them.Taking a closer look, the Northern Han Dynasty seems to have quite a few well-known talents.
Of course, what made Zhong Mo feel a little uncomfortable was that the envoy of Wu and Yue wandered among the high-ranking officials in the palace, and he was very popular and lively.

As a feud, as a minister of the Tang Dynasty, Zhong Mo couldn't help feeling disgusted.Moreover, there is also a kind of anger at being treated differently. The Tang Dynasty dominates the Jianghuai River and Huaihe River.

However, he was unwilling, so he could only hold it in his chest, thinking about his mission, after thinking about it, Zhong Mo got up, took a glass of wine, walked towards the circle of ministers in the Northern Han Dynasty, and first toasted Feng Dao
On the main hall, Liu Chengyou and his younger brother Liu Chengxun had a cordial conversation, and said in a caring tone: "After you get married, you are a real adult. Now that you have a family, you must take responsibility! Princess Wuyue, my mother and I are all satisfied. , this girl is still young and married far away in Tokyo, you should treat her kindly!"

"Yes!" Liu Chengxun nodded in response.

Liu Chengxun is more than three years younger than Liu Chengyou, and he is still young now, but after several years of training, studying and practicing martial arts, he is no longer the reckless boy he was before.Liu Chengyou is very satisfied with his demeanor and excellent temperament.

"The clan of the great Han clan, especially among the direct relatives, is not happy with talent. I am deeply concerned. I have high hopes for you as the emperor's younger brother. It has been several years since I opened the mansion. After getting married, I should also come out and serve the great Han country. , Do your best!" Staring at Liu Chengxun, Liu Chengyou said.

After saying this, Liu Chengxun's eyes lit up immediately, and he asked, "Are the officials going to assign me an errand?"

Seeing his eagerness to try, Liu Chengyou smiled lightly and said, "Aren't you determined to be a virtuous king? You can't be a virtuous king if you live inside the high walls of the palace for a long time!"

Liu Chengxun chuckled, and scratched his head subconsciously: "I just said it casually, but I didn't expect it to reach the ears of the officials."

Liu Chengyou raised his glass, touched the cup in Liu Chengxun's hand lightly, and said: "You said it casually, but I didn't just listen to it, don't let me down!"

Seeing this, Liu Chengxun drank it all in one gulp, and solemnly replied: "Yes!"

Seeing him squatting for a while, Liu Chengyou patted his shoulder again: "Legs are numb, go down and have a rest."

At a later time, Liu Chengyou went to Chunlan Hall, and performed another ceremony in the boudoir. After the marriage ceremony, the maidservants retreated, leaving only Liu Chengyou and Miss Fu.

Under the wrapping in the red dress is the young and graceful figure of Miss Fu, with her head slightly lowered, not daring to meet Liu Chengyou's unrestrained eyes.

After a while, he finally couldn't help raising his head and glanced twice, seeing Liu Chengyou looking at him with a smile in his eyes, and turned his face away like a rabbit startled, very shy.

"Why, what's different about today's Zhen that makes you so ashamed to face it?" Liu Chengyou asked with a faint smile, slightly drunk.

Raising his eyes, he looked at Liu Chengyou again, and the lady Fu murmured like a mosquito: "On weekdays, the officials and I are not dressed like this either."

With a delicate appearance, Liu Chengyou's heart was warmed up, and he reached out and gently stroked the smooth tender face of Mrs. Fu, Liu Chengyou said warmly: "From now on, you will be my concubine Hui!"

Xiao Fu's face was a little hot, but he still responded softly: "Yeah!"

Next, there is a poem about the situation in Chunlan Palace:

The jade girl shyly took off her palace clothes, with peach blossom skin cream on her cheeks.The rouge makes the saddle for the horse skirt, and the happy couch shakes gently to provoke drunks.The chanting is like a warbler's cry, and the gurgling stream is washed red.The spring is short in the red tent, and the concubine is unable to inherit Junze.
