Country color

Chapter 687

It was snowing outside the hall again, snow powder was scattered everywhere, the cold air, the cold wind blowing against the face made the palace ladies walking outside tremble.

Youjing is about to reach the coldest time of the year again.Many of the maids from Luoyang Palace were from the south, and many of them were even brought by Empress Xiao from Jiangnan.How can Jiangnan women endure the severe cold in Youjing?

However, in Li Zhiwan's sleeping hall, due to the connection with the earth dragon, it is extremely warm, and even the potted plants placed in the hall are especially emerald green, so green that they can almost drip water.The room was as warm as spring, and the maids who followed Li Zhiwan from Guanzhong, all wearing only jackets, gathered together to buy Li Zhiwan's wedding outfit.

In the house, while combing Li Zhiwan's hair, Jian Xue leisurely sang the line from Mulan's poem, "Open the door of my east pavilion and sit on my bed in the west pavilion."Take off my wartime robe and put on my old clothes.When the window is arranging clouds and temples, the mirror is decorated with yellow flowers.

Li Zhiwan hummed after listening to the melodious and melodious singing, asking her what she thought and what she remembered.Women have nothing to think about, and women have nothing to remember.

This Mulan poem is a famous piece of Yuefu poems. For the boudoir girls in the Guanzhong family who have Xianbei blood and have a strong Hu style, they like to sing this song.Often in the midst of war, the women in the north sang Mulan poems with a boldness that no Jiangnan woman has.

Li Zhiwan lowered her eyes, tied her black hair, and said softly: "When I was young, when I heard Mulan's poems, I often thought that after Hua Mulan took off her military uniform and returned home, she would be a window trimmer, put yellow flowers on the mirror, and take off her military uniform. I restored the daughter’s outfit, but it didn’t say in the poem whether she would marry later. I was wondering what kind of man would be able to marry this woman in the end? Later, I didn’t expect it. After thinking about it, I also made some flowers What Mulan did."

Jianxue said aside: "Miss, although Hua Mulan mentioned in the Mulan poem is powerful, she is much worse than you. You are the real heroine."

Li Zhiwan shook her head and said: "It is not my wish to seal the border. At first I put on the battle robe, it was for my Li family, but today I took off the battle robe and dressed as a daughter, but I was willing to do it for Xiaojiu. Human or not, Hua Mulan, how lucky I am."

"Miss." Hearing what Li Zhiwan said, Jian Xue couldn't help but have red eyes.

Li Zhiwan smiled, but did not speak.But the low voices of the maids outside the house were heard inside the house.

Chirp, chirp, chirp, Mulan is weaving...
In the back hall of Linshuo Palace.

Li Hu was sitting there laughing, and most of the guardian Wang Junkuo, Su Su, the shepherd of Taiyuan Mansion, and his wife Sun Erniang all gathered together.The heads of the seven thousand villages back then are all past the age of masters now, and now they may have the color of stars in their temples.

Everyone sat in front of the charcoal basin, simmering wine in the stove, talking about the past years, they couldn't help but sigh.

"Your Majesty, you'd better drink less." Erniang Sun couldn't help persuading her.

Li Hu smiled and said: "I am in a good mood today, Fifth Sister let me have a few more drinks."

Sun Erniang said: "Brother, your health has always been bad. I don't know how many ministers will toast you at the banquet tonight. You are drinking so much now, what are you going to do tonight?"

Li Hu waved his hand and said: "You don't know, I'm not used to such a big banquet, what a nagging son, the emperor, these courtiers are all Xiaojiu's subordinates, after all, they have a relationship with me. Only with you few elders I am truly at ease when my brothers are drinking rice wine and eating argali. I have already ordered the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to hold a small banquet in the inner hall tonight. I just want to have a few old brothers from Qiqianzhai, Chattering, talking from the bottom of my heart, I won’t go to the previous entertainment.”

Wang Junkuo caressed his beard and said: "Yes, the Supreme Emperor, more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, fighting in the battlefield, getting sick and disabled, and the old brothers in Qiqianzhai are now only more than 20 left. I haven't seen you for many years. Tonight, I had a big drink with Xiaojiu, so let's get together, otherwise we will be separated in the future, and I don't know if there will be a chance to meet again."

Li Hu nodded and said, "That's right. At the beginning, our five brothers and sisters were sworn brothers in Qiqianzhai. We agreed to follow Liu Guanzhang's example and make three sworn brothers in Taoyuan. We all lived and died together. Now we all gather here Eating and drinking, only the third brother went to nowhere."

Hearing what Li Hu said, they knew that Li Hu was thinking of Miracle Doctor Xue, and they were afraid that he would be sad, so they comforted him repeatedly.

Li Hu was in a better mood.Sun Erniang also picked up Li Hu's happy things and said, "Your Majesty, there have been many changes in the past few years. Back then, our husband and wife were reckless and robbed Li Yuan's daughter up the mountain by mistake. There won't be so many things happening in the future, let alone today's joy."

Having said that, everyone had a smile on their faces.Su Su said with emotion: "If this incident hadn't been caused, His Majesty would not have been wanted and fled to Shaolin Temple to become a monk, and he would have gone outside Yanmen Pass to assassinate Shibi Khan and be named the champion. There was no subsequent refusal to marry."

Li Hu said with a smile: "This is the fate of human beings. No one can predict what will happen in the future, but if it weren't for this, Xiao Jiu would not have become an emperor today. The only thing is that the two children have suffered so much. Years, I have suffered a lot."

Sun Erniang said: "Taishanghuang, it's not that the lovers are finally getting married. In a year or so, Xiao Jiu will give you another grandson, and all the hardships will be made up for. The Taishanghuang is so happy that he can't hold his tongue from ear to ear."

Li Hu laughed loudly when he heard the words: "Yes, I have a grandson and a granddaughter, but it's still not enough. Does it mean that the older you get, the more greedy you become?"

"Have a few more children and enjoy the happiness of the family. There is nothing greedy or not."
In the main hall, laughter rumbled, and at this time the door said: "Your Majesty is here."

But I saw Li Chongjiu walking into the hall.After Li Chongjiu greeted Li Hu first, everyone also stood up to greet Li Chongjiu.

After everyone sat down, Li Chongjiu said with a smile: "Why are you talking so happily, Dad?"

Sun Erniang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, we have already discussed it. When the ceremony will be held later, your empress can't just offer tea to the Supreme Emperor, but also need to offer tea to us one by one."

Su Su frowned and said, "Er Niang, aren't you messing around? Now it's different from when we were in the cottage, the emperor's family has the rules of the emperor's family, and it makes people laugh when you talk about it."

Sun Erniang stared at her, but said nothing.In the past few years, Su Su has been an official of the frontier, and his authority has become stronger and stronger. Sun Erniang no longer dares to scold him as she used to in the cottage.

Li Chongjiu glanced at Sun Erniang, said with a smile: "Mrs. Song Guo is right, if you and Wei Guogong hadn't taken Sanniang to Qiqianzhai that day, how would we know each other? Speaking of which, you are our matchmakers. No matter what, this glass of wine must be respected, and it is thanks to Madam for bringing us together."

After hearing this, Su Su and Sun Erniang both laughed.
Sun Erniang glanced at Su Su and said, "I told you His Majesty won't be angry, you see this glass of matchmaker wine is finally drunk."

The whole room was full of laughter again, and Su Su responded again and again.

That night, the Linshuo Palace in Youjing was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the ceremony for Li Chongjiu to marry the imperial concubine also began.

It was also lively outside the palace. In order to celebrate Li Chongjiu's marriage to the imperial concubine, the city of Youjing opened another night of curfew.Therefore, the common people can go to the streets to play all night long.And the various celebration ceremonies are only a little lower than the standard for Li Chongjiu to marry the queen.

And outside Linshuo Palace, horses and chariots gathered, all the officials of rank seven and above in Youjing City were allowed to bring their family members to the palace for a banquet, it was even more lively than the New Year's Eve banquet.

All the officials in the palace drank to their heart's content, and the maids outside the palace also danced gracefully under the music played by the musicians. The melodious court music and moving dance postures immersed the entire Linshuo Palace in a joyous and festive atmosphere.

Li Chongjiu walked to the hall with his sword, picked up the wine glass and drank with all the officials in the hall.All the ministers stood up and toasted Li Chongjiu, congratulating him on his concubine acceptance today.

These courtiers were all courtiers who fought the emperor from scratch together with Li Chongjiu at the beginning, and the monarch and his ministers got along very well.Seeing that they were all congratulating him from the bottom of their hearts, Li Chongjiu immediately let go, drank the wine one by one, and laughed loudly, very pleased.

As the son of heaven, with all kinds of affairs in mind, there are really a few days in a year when he can be so comfortable and happy.

Li Chongjiu couldn't help but chanted the sentence "to be happy in life, don't let the golden cup be empty to the moon".The tune immediately reverberated in the hall, and the singer played the pipa and sang a cappella. If you don’t see it, the water of the Yellow River will come up from the sky, rushing to the sea and never returning.Don't you see, Gaotang Mingjing's sad white hair is like blue silk in the morning and snow in the evening.

This poem is going to drink, which is a bit sad, but also reveals the free and easy life, and the whole poem is full of pride and joy, so that all the officials of the Great Zhao present sang along.

A song with Junge, please listen to me.

Singing and singing among the officials, they began to behave freely, guessing fists and drinking.The generals of the Zhao State are mostly rough people, and the polite drinking orders will not work, so this method is more suitable for them.

The hustle and bustle of the palace gradually spread to the outside of the palace. The bright moon was hanging over Youjing, but inside and outside the city, all the officials and people were reveling together, celebrating Li Chongjiu's concubine concubine.

"Open the door, Your Majesty is coming."

Inside the bridal chamber, Li Zhiwan couldn't help but was about to stand up after hearing the voices outside, but Jian Xue quickly stopped her and said, "Miss, you can't, your majesty has to pick you to move your knee cover."

Li Zhiwan sat down after hearing this, and said angrily: "I have already advised His Majesty not to drink so much wine, but he didn't listen to it. As long as he refuses, any minister who dares to pour him must be his own intemperance .”

After hearing this, Jian Xue said quickly: "Miss, isn't Your Majesty happy today, it's understandable."

Humph.Li Zhiwan snorted when she heard this, but she was very worried seeing Li Chongjiu like this.
