The Splendid Medical Concubine: The Journey of a Concubine

Chapter 441 Extra 32 Yunni

That day, after reading the yellow list, the young couple walked around outside before returning to the palace. Unexpectedly, they were caught by Queen Mother Yin when they returned to the palace.

For this reason, Queen Mother Yin scolded Gu Jue non-stop:

"Ajue, tomorrow is your wife's hair extension ceremony. You still take her out to play. What if you bump into each other or are tired and delay tomorrow's hair extension ceremony?!"

"Giving your hair the gift of hair is a once-in-a-lifetime event for a girl's family!"

"You are already in your early twenties, and you still do things so poorly."

“…”

In the end, it was Grandma Yan who reminded Queen Mother Yin that the Queen would try on the dress again, and Gu Jue escaped.

Until the next morning, when Shen Qianchen, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, thought back to the scene where Gu Jue was being scolded, he still couldn't help laughing, and the corners of his lips never dropped.

Compared with Shen Qianchen, who was calm and composed, Amber was as tense as if facing a powerful enemy. She repeatedly confirmed every step and detail of the hairpin ceremony, striving to be perfect.

Everyone in the palace knew that today was the queen's hair-raising ceremony. From the queen mother to the new emperor, they all took it very seriously and there must be no mess in the entire ceremony.

From time to time, people enter the East Side Hall to report on the progress:

"All the female guests are here."

"The Queen Mother is in place!"

"Queen, the hairpin ceremony is about to begin..."

"My dear, don't worry, there will be someone standing at every station to remind you."

There was a lively noise all around, until the auspicious time came, and the sound of sheng and bamboo played outside in the direction of the main hall, and everything inside and outside suddenly became quiet.

After a while, Queen Mother Yin, as mother-in-law, gave a concise speech for today's hair-raising ceremony, and then announced the start of the hair-raising ceremony.

Aunt Yan opened the bamboo curtain of the Xiang Concubine, and then, Shen Qianchen, dressed in a couture dress, walked out of the East Side Hall and suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention.

The fifteen-year-old girl is in her best and brightest years, with a tall and straight figure, delicate and flawless appearance, and generous and calm manners.

She walked slowly and quietly, her steps were elegant yet light, and she was bright and charming with a dash of heroic spirit, making it difficult for people to take their eyes off her.

The melodious sound of silk and bamboo echoed in the air. Everyone in the hall looked solemn and sat elegantly.

Today, all the women who can watch the ceremony in Kunning Palace are of high status. The eldest princess, concubine, princess, princess, county lord and the imperial wives of various houses. Those who can be invited can brag about this matter. In half a lifetime, after all, the Great Qi Dynasty has never had a queen hold a haircut ceremony in Kunning Palace.

Their queen was the first person since the founding of the Qi Dynasty.

The female guests exchanged glances with expressions of envy or emotion. They had long heard that the emperor and empress had deep feelings for each other. The new emperor made exceptions time and time again for the empress. Today's hairpin ceremony only proved this point again.

These people are like people but have different fates!

Under the scorching gazes of everyone, Shen Qianchen walked to the table calmly, her black hair hanging down her lower back swaying slightly with her steps.

Today's haircut ceremony was very solemn. The guest of honor was Princess Li, the congratulator was Princess Chang Ning, and the host was Shen Qianhuang, who had just got hairpins yesterday.

In the main hall, the atmosphere was solemn, and the entire ceremony was carried out in an orderly manner. The guests were all silent, acting as the best spectators.

After the initial ceremony, Shen Qianchen put on a bright red plain skirt.

After the second addition ceremony, she put on a crimson dark dress with a deep skirt.

After the three-plus ceremony, she put on a real red long-sleeved dress.

The real red material made Shen Qianchen's gleaming phoenix eyes brighter and brighter, and her skin was as white as the first snow. When Princess Li personally put on a golden phoenix walking wave inlaid with rubies for her, it was like the icing on the cake, making the original The charming girl looked even more dazzling.

She is the well-deserved protagonist today!

Shen Zhi looked at Shen Qianchen without blinking, for fear of missing any detail, her eyes were slightly sour and there were some tears in her eyes.

She felt both happy and reluctant to give up, and there was also a trace of regret in her heart, as if her daughter was getting married again in front of her eyes.

Yesterday the eldest daughter was born with hairpins, and today it is the second daughter. Both of her daughters have grown up and have full wings.

Her daughter is so outstanding and so happy, she should be happy for her daughter!

She can't cry. Today is Sister Chen's happy day, so she can't cry. Shen Zhi told herself over and over again in her heart, her eyes always following Shen Qianchen.

Shen Qianchen followed the hairpin ceremony procedure and bowed deeply to the Queen Mother Yin and all the guests, with a smile on his lips.

In her previous life, she had never held a hair extension ceremony, and this was the first time in two lives.

This haircut ceremony also has special meaning to her.

How to say it?

It's like a ritual to say goodbye to the "past".

Shen Qianchen smiled slightly, and every movement was so elegant, calm and natural.

The golden phoenix on her head trembled slightly with her every move, and three strings of tassels made of rubies the size of lotus seeds swayed on her cheeks, reflecting her phoenix eyes so brightly and so brightly. bright.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on the ingenious golden phoenix step rocker.

These female guests from noble backgrounds all have sharp eyes, and they are very knowledgeable about the jewelry shops in the capital and the items made therein.

Most people can tell at a glance that the step wave on the queen's head should come from Nanzhufang.

Who knows that every piece of jewelry in Nanzhufang is a treasure, and buyers need to reserve it one year in advance. In other words, the Queen Mother or the new emperor ordered this hairpin for the Queen a year ago.

No, the Queen Mother was under house arrest in the palace by the late Emperor Gu Lang. In other words, this hairpin must have been personally ordered for the Queen by the new Emperor Gu Jue a year ago.

The female guests once again lamented the new emperor's affection for the queen. Their mood could no longer be described by the word "envy".

Perhaps the most emotional person is the wife of Yang Xuanshan, Minister of Rites.

Mrs. Yang had heard Yang Xuanshan complain about the new emperor's various outrageous behaviors at the coronation ceremony, and she was amazed. A few days ago, when the couple talked about the queen's hairpin ceremony, Yang Xuanshan also said that the new emperor was unreliable. , maybe he came to preside over the Queen's hairpin ceremony, and he didn't have to mess up the Queen's hairpin ceremony. At that time, Mrs. Yang was still dubious.

But now, Mrs. Yang really wants to fly back home to confront him. This old man is really talking nonsense.

Mrs. Yang was filled with admiration. She felt that the Queen's appearance, temperament, and demeanor were all impeccable. Today's hair extension ceremony couldn't be more grand.

After Shen Qianchen completed the last step of "bowing and thanking", the ceremony was completed.

Normally, at this point, the guests would have gathered around, praising the elders of the woman for her good parenting skills, praising her for being lucky, etc., and then blowing on the hairpin ceremony's main character, just to create a happy and lively atmosphere. .

But today is different. This is Kunning Palace. The Queen Mother and the Empress are here, so the female guests have become very reserved and dare not move around. They politely and restrainedly praised "The Empress is graceful" and "Mother's grace". "The world" and so on, the voice is mostly dry.

Only Princess Li felt at ease. She smiled and said to the Queen Mother Yin: "Your Majesty, I told my prince today that I will have lunch in the palace before leaving."

Queen Mother Yin was amused: "Don't worry, I won't let you go back hungry."

Seeing this scene, others also relaxed a lot.

After the haircut ceremony, a palace banquet was arranged in the palace, as well as an opera troupe singing. It was lively from the morning to the afternoon, without a moment of silence.

At Shen Shi, all the guests left the palace and returned to their homes, and the palace suddenly became quiet.

Shen Qianchen then returned to Qianqing Palace, and the sun was already setting in the west.

The Qianqing Palace was quiet and empty, as if there was no one around.

If the chamberlain hadn't told Shen Qianchen that Gu Jue was here, Shen Qianchen would have gone to the imperial study to find him.

"Jiuya!"

Shen Qianchen walked faster and faster, her steps swaying in her hair. She eagerly opened the bead curtain and rushed into the palace in a hurry.

Then, at a glance, he saw the man leaning against the window.

Time seems to slow down at this moment.

Gu Jue, who was wearing a true red robe, was lazily leaning on a chair, with one hand pressed into a fist against one cheek. His black hair like crow feathers was half-tied and half-bundled on his shoulders, and his hair was shining in the golden sunshine. There was a silky sheen underneath.

His eyebrows are like ink paintings, and his eyes are like stars. The real red clothes worn on him make him lose a bit of his usual calm and breezy temperament, and gain an alluring energy like a thousand-year-old vixen. Under the sunlight, his eyes, which were so dark that they could not be seen, seemed to be flashing with golden light, so beautiful that it made people feel heart-stopping.

Shen Qianchen felt inexplicably nervous when he saw him, but his steps did not slow down.

She has been waiting for this day for a long time.

"You haven't forgotten my gift, haven't you?" She pinched his sleeve, looked at him with bright eyes, and spoke softly.

Gu Jue took her wrist with his backhand, gently pulled her into his arms, and gently rubbed her slender waist with his right palm.

"Do you like Hairpin?" He asked her, looking at her with a smile, his broad chest pressed against her back.

The look of this golden phoenix on her head was even more beautiful than he expected!

"I like it!" Shen Qianchen, who was sitting on his lap, nodded hurriedly.

Gu Jue laughed softly.

When he smiled, his chest vibrated. Shen Qianchen could clearly feel every vibration of his chest, and could feel his warm body temperature through the thin clothes.

She turned around slightly, grabbed the front of his shirt with one hand, and asked again: "I'm not talking about the hairpin..."

When her eyes met his directly, she suddenly felt enlightened and grasped the fabric in her hand tighter, "You remember, right?! You took it out for me." Small print 'right?"

"Woman... hairpin." Gu Jue smiled again, his slender left fingers gently touched Shen Qianchen's soft and delicate cheek, and his right arm hugged her tightly, sticking together inseparably.

When he said this, the complete sentence from "The Book of Rites" immediately appeared in Shen Qianchen's mind:

When a woman is promised to marry, she has a hairpin.

Shen Qianchen was stunned, blinked, and suddenly remembered his past life again.

In her previous life, she did not hold a hairpin ceremony, but she only wore a hairpin herself.

When Gu Jue saw that she was wearing a hairpin, he realized that she was too late and said that he wanted to make up for her as a gift.

So, she boldly asked for it. At that time, she didn't want to be "Chu Qianchen" anymore, so she asked Gu Jue to give her a small character as a gift for her hairpin.

If a woman is unmarried, her nickname is usually given by an elder in the family. In her previous life, when she was fifteen years old, she was no longer in the Chu family, and she had no relatives around her. At that time, Gu Jue was both a teacher and a friend to her. She never thought there was any problem in letting him choose the words.

But in this life, she got married before she even had her hair.

After a woman gets married, her husband usually chooses the small character, so it was natural for her to ask Gu Jue to choose the small character for her last year.

But now, just one year later, when she came back to savor this matter, her ears suddenly felt hot and her cheeks flushed.

When a woman is promised to marry, she has a hairpin.

These words appeared repeatedly in her mind, and her cheeks became hotter and hotter, almost burning.

She felt like she was a flower picker who stole fragrance and jade, and she had been coveting "beauty" for a long time.

Shen Qianchen could not look directly into Gu Jue's eyes. A year ago, she could have held her head high and said confidently that she had no hidden thoughts, but now she could not be so calm.

Gu Jue looked at her deeply, not wanting to miss every subtle change in expression on her face.

The smile on his lips was as bright as the morning sun, his eyes became darker and darker, and he said no more.

The atmosphere gradually became charming.

Suddenly, Shen Qianchen's hand let go of his front, and the piece of clothing was wrinkled by her, and even the collar was a little loose, adding a bit of laziness, charm... and dissoluteness to him.

Shen Qianchen tried to smooth the wrinkles on the fabric with his fingertips, then slowly raised his eyes, looked into his eyes, and said word by word: "What you promised, once you say it, you can't keep it back. "

The meaning of this sentence is unclear. It seems to be complaining or coquettish, and the tone seems dull.

To Gu Jue's ears, it sounded like a certain answer.

Gu Jue's response was to hold her tighter and tighter with his right arm, tightening the little girl in his arms as if he was trying to embed her into his arms.

Shen Qianchen snuggled into his arms, smiling.

Knowing that he was like her, of course she understood that he was asking her if she would accept him as her husband.

He asked tactfully, so tactfully that it was almost unlike him.

so-

He's nervous, right?

Shen Qianchen's heart suddenly became very soft, and the corners of his lips could not help but curl up.

Just as she would blush and her heart would beat at his gaze and touch, he would also feel nervous because he was unsure of her feelings.

At this time, Gu Jue raised his left hand and held Shen Qianchen's hand. He brought her slender and white hand to his lips and kissed him. His cold voice became as warm as the spring breeze, and he sighed: "Well, I Promised."

There was unabashed joy in his voice.

He is willing, and so is she.

He was pleased with her, and she was pleased with him.

While sighing, his hot breath sprayed on her cheek, and then, his thin lips pressed tightly against hers.

In the past, he only kissed the corners of her lips lightly, always being self-possessed and reserved.

But this time it was different. His lips were tightly intertwined with hers, and the tip of his tongue pried her lips apart, exploring inside bit by bit...

Shen Qianchen's mind went blank. A burning heat spread from her lips, teeth, and cheeks to her limbs, as if there was a fire burning in her body...

She felt herself being picked up by him, felt his strong arms supporting her hips and waist, felt him holding her and moving around...

When she came to her senses, she was already inside the red curtain and lying on the red mattress.

The hairpin on her head was pulled out at some point, her bun was spread out, and thick black hair spread like a waterfall on the red mattress. Her clothes had long been loose, and her neckline was tilted to one side, revealing a gracefully curved collarbone.

A girl in her prime is like a blooming rose, extremely delicate and breathtakingly beautiful.

His little girl has grown up!

His tall body was placed above her, and his face was facing hers. Their eyes were eye to eye, nose to nose, and lips to lips.

While kissing her, he sighed softly between their lips and teeth:

"Yun Ni."

The man's voice was slightly hoarse and gentle, as if it had passed through a long and distant time.

Shen Qianchen, who was lying on the porcelain pillow, opened her eyes slightly, her eyes glistening, and a word that only she could hear rang in her ears: "Yunni, the rainbow after the rain also means high in the sky."

"Jiuxia..." she called softly, panting rapidly, her eyes gleaming slightly with emotion, "Does it mean the same thing as 'Jiuxia'?"

She asked him as she did in her previous life.

The big red gauze curtain fell suddenly, blocking the spring scenery inside, and blocking the lingering breathing sound...

Outside the window, the sun sets slowly, and night is about to fall.

Ahem, turn on the light in the bridal chamber, let’s do it tomorrow~
