A Collection of Old Sayings by Fourth Sister You

Chapter 9 Forbidden Court (9)
Today, the golden book of phoenix seal is awarded, which is recorded in Dianmo, the mother of the world. (3)
Brother Fo laughed and said: "The princess forgot, there are imperial doctors and painters in the palace besides the Yellow Gate, but they are separated by a wall, and they are under some control in the forbidden area. There are illustrated books, Fu Rui, Baowan in the Tianzhang Pavilion, Huang It is a difficult task, and to compete with the officials, we still need those accomplished scholars. Mr. Cui went to Dayue to move around, and made friends with several ministers in the court, and someone will recommend him when the time comes."

Yun Hua nodded, "So, when I entered Longtu Pavilion that day, was there a painter who didn't leave the palace immediately and happened to meet me?"

Aunt Jin said no, "There are servants who record detailed records when entering and leaving the palace. If they can't even do this well, they don't have to live."

Well, don't think about these things, the sky is getting darker a little bit, and the auspicious time is coming soon.She felt uneasy, there were so many people, dangling in front of her eyes, which disturbed her.Yin said: "Go and wait outside, the wet nurse stays and talks to me."

Everyone responded, bowed their heads and retreated.

She walked to the window and looked out. Today's palace is different from usual.Since she moved to Qingning Palace, she often looked at it like this, and she became more familiar with it, but she didn't realize that the most glorious place on the central axis of the imperial city had such a soft and charming side.The lights are scattered, reflecting the blue glazed tiles on the roof of the hall, like a floating lake.She even heard the faint singing coming from the direction of Jiying Hall, maybe the wedding banquet of the previous dynasty is already waiting to be held!
In fact, she was a little scared, the queen is easy to do, what about the wedding ceremony?She is now like meat on a cutting board, waiting silently, feeling like she is waiting to die.

She turned to look at Chunwo, "I heard that private marriages listen to the opinions of both parties, right?"

Chunwo said yes, "It's not like in the past now. Matchmakers match the match, choose an auspicious day to pass the post, and men and women can meet and go on a blind date. If you like it, Mr. Xiaolang will put a gold hairpin on the girl's crown, and it's a deal. If you don't like it, Then send two colored forged horses, which is called shocking."

She smiled, "Blind dates are quite fun, but unfortunately I am straight-up, so there is no such thing. The official is really strange, he is ashamed to meet people, he has been refusing to show his face. Today we have to give a big gift, What if I keep avoiding me?"

Speaking of this is indeed incomprehensible, an emperor seldom lingers in the back garden, Gao Fei will probably die of laughter if this kind of thing is mentioned!
Chunwo said: "I heard from an old servant in the palace that the official has a weird temper since he was a child. He only speaks when he is five years old, and he doesn't want to meet strangers. It is said that he wants to engrave a seal, which can be decided before the case. He sat there for ten hours. Once his attendant, Zhou Yanei, accidentally fell into the water, and the official family was on the shore at that time, watching Zhou Yanei sinking, without even calling for help. Zhou Yanei accompanied him for six years, and died. It's a pity, so I'm a little worried about you."

The people who accompany him day and night can turn a blind eye to the death in front of his eyes, so the Killing Cloud Temple will not hesitate.Yun Hua fell silent, and tightly clenched her ten fingers under her big sleeves. If she hadn't known about the martial law of the emperor's wedding, she would have wanted to kill him tonight.But no, she doesn't take care of herself, she has to take care of the people around her.Killing one thousand and destroying eight hundred is the most stupid method.

Seeing her resentment, Chunwo thought it was an unlucky day after all.He took her by the hand and led her to sit down, and said softly, "I don't want to persuade you, as far as I can see, there is only one way to go. It is very important that you find a way to make the officials like you. He likes it, so he won't be wary of you." After speaking, he caressed her earlobe lovingly, his gentle eyes flowed across her cheeks, and she smiled, but the corners of her lips were twisted, "My child, even if you are a queen, In my eyes, they are the most well-behaved children. I just hope you are well and can live happily. Today is your big wedding. Although it is different from other marriages, I still feel very happy. You grow up, and today From now on, you are an adult, you have to be cautious in everything, and you have to weigh the pros and cons, understand?"

There are too many people inside and outside the hall, and they can only stop talking.Yan Hua comforted her with a smile, "Mother is good for me, I understand. Fortunately, I am not helpless in the Forbidden Court. With you and A Rong, I will not be afraid."

A person like her is basically a blind marriage, with a bad husband, who has only met once so far, so it's not as good as the folks.Chunwo patted her hand, smiled at her encouragingly, and said no more.The guided Shang Gong came in, and Fu lowered his body to report: "The auspicious time has come, please move the saint to the Chuigong Hall to accept the book, and then go to the Funing Hall to make a big ceremony."

The marriage of the emperor and the empress is an extremely complicated process, unlike the common people outside, who have worshiped the heaven and the earth and counted.Before the queen pays homage to the hall, she needs to officially confer the book of treasures, and receive the worship of the ministers.The queen mother sympathized with her and ordered everything to be kept simple.But even so, the whole set of details still made her dizzy.

The vertical arch hall is the outer court, where the emperor looks at the court, and the queen's order is also there.Her throne was set facing north under the steps of the court. The internal officials led her into the hall, and then watched Li Zhiguan and a group of courtiers perform the ceremony.Anyway, she didn't hear a single word of the beautiful speech that was read, but just sat patiently, accepting their congratulations.

There were so many people on a revolving door, when Zhongshu Ling and Zhongshu Shilang left the main hall, another group of well-dressed women from inside and outside entered the hall to take their seats.The envoy of Book Bao and the deputy envoy came slowly with Pan Chi Niu Jinbao in their hands, which meant that the pilgrimage in the outer court was coming to an end.She stood up to receive the seal, and the heavy weight fell on her hands, and she suddenly felt the joy of seeing the sun again.

Ascending to the seat again, Li Zhiguan said "Bow", and the wife Wu Yangyang knelt down in a large area.Zonghua squinted his eyes and looked at it, feeling a little shy in his heart.Among these people are imperial concubines from the Forbidden Court. What kind of complicated moods do they have when they perform rituals?It's probably uncomfortable, and I have to pretend to be sincerely happy to show my unconditional admiration and obedience to the emperor.

After the ceremony, descend to the Golden Palace, and the next step is the normal wedding process.The hall of worship is in the Funing Hall, and the bridal chamber is in the back hall of Rouyi Hall.Under normal circumstances, the emperor and empress live together for a month, of course it depends on the mood of the officials, and there are also times when the empress is sent back to her bedroom the next day.

Chunwo covered her with a pin-gold hijab, and covered her face with a fiery red face, blocking her sight, and she could only vaguely glimpse some scenes from the swaying tassels at the corners.

The female officials on the left and right stepped forward to help her, and the flower eaves were parked under the steps, which is a kind of rattan sedan chair with flowers, which is specially used for welcoming the bride at weddings.Although the journey is short, it must be arranged according to customary etiquette.She sat in and heard bonuses and profit making along the way, and Brother Kong Fang hitting the roadside cornerstones with clangs.

In front of the palace gate, Ke chooses officials to hold flower buckets and scatter grain, beans and colorful fruits.Majesty Dan was covered with a green felt flower mat, and the female officer led her to get off the sedan chair and straddle the saddle, and enter the hall to sit in the tent.It's not bad, the emperor's big wedding is different from the ordinary ones, at least there is no customary ritual to look at the bride in a mess, and no one is allowed to visit the bridal chamber, and the wives inside and outside are waiting outside the east gate.

Yun Hua let out a long breath, although the thick wedding mattress made people sweat on their buttocks, at least they could rest for a while.The only uncomfortable thing is that I can't see with my head covered. I always feel dizzy in my head and may fall down at any time.

This woman was about to raise her hand to pinch her shoulders, because the phoenix crown was so heavy that it almost shortened her neck.Just as she raised her hand half a foot high, she suddenly saw a crimson gauze gown with a cloud and dragon pattern coming, her white socks and black shoes stepped on the floor mat, the mattress on her right sank, and the red-stained peanut bones rolled by her side, bumped into his sash.

That was Yin Chongyuan. Even if he couldn't see his face and knew he was there, the strong sense of oppression would still make people uncomfortable.Yong Hua's heart skipped a beat, and he glanced down. He was sitting upright, with a pair of slender hands resting on his knees, his nails were round and smooth, showing a healthy color.

He was silent, as if the people sitting next to him had nothing to do with him.Zong Hua was nervous at first, but gradually relaxed.What's so great about Xindao, just like what the empress said, sooner or later he will be a minister under the skirt, just wait and see!

She straightened her back, and soon heard Shang Gong guiding outside the curtain, asking the officials to bring a scarf to worship.The end of the concentric knot was handed over, she caught Wan in her hand, and he stepped back step by step, leading her into the Palace of Funing.

The ceremonial officer sang happy songs, strange tunes and congratulatory speeches, which were different from Suiguo.Accompanied by the singing, Jinshang raised the machine stick to pick her hijab, and lifted it upwards.There was a thin layer of sweat on her face, but she suddenly became enlightened and immediately felt cool.Then the person standing opposite in front of her caught her eyes. This was the second time they had met. They were so close that even his eyelashes could be clearly seen.

He is the proud son of heaven, and he has cultivated graceful facial features through a pampered life.Wearing 24 Liang Tongtian crown, the jade hairpin guides the vermilion tassels hanging on the chest, the complexity but dilutes the sharpness between the eyebrows.Just looking at these eyes alone, they are as deep as a cold pool, and they still cannot get close.

They looked at each other in twos and looked away at the same time.When Zong Hua began to reflect on his poor performance, he suddenly realized that the way he looked at her was full of disgust, not to mention love.She is not angry, it doesn't matter, the more she hates it now, the more she likes it in the future.She doesn't like to laugh, speaks little, and is slow in sorrow and joy. This kind of personality is flawed. She has a lot of energy, and she won't care about it with a half-crazy.After today, let's see her go all out.Anyway, the queen mother granted her permission to be the demon queen, so she has nothing to worry about.

She regained her composure and thanked the queen mother together with him.The Queen Mother smiled, her face full of joy.Beautiful children and beautiful wives, for widows, there is nothing more satisfying than seeing their sons get married and have a family.She began to fantasize about the scene of playing with her grandson, it shouldn't take long.The emperor and empress had a three-day break for their wedding. She had already arranged for them to be trapped in the Rouyi Hall for these three days.Living in the same room, and the queen is a smart person, she must know how to take the opportunity to cultivate feelings.
