Chapter 1076: People are more delicate than flowers
"The complexion of the eighth cousin today is different from yesterday. It's really... tsk tsk, people are more delicate than flowers!" Li Yi did not hesitate to praise him, and walked around Gong Yueyue again, and finally stopped in front of Zhao Changyuan, "
No wonder Brother Sixth Emperor is like this, if I, Li Yi, were a man, I would break the moral integrity of a gentleman and vow to seize my eighth cousin and make it my own!"
As he spoke, Li Yi rolled his lively eyes, cast a malicious glance at Zhao Changyuan, raised his head, and walked into Yongle Palace with a joking smile.
There was a hint of anger in Zhao Changyuan's eyes, but it dissipated in a moment.
Because the person who was coveted as his own was now being held tightly in his hands!
He couldn't help but tighten his grip on the person in his hand.
Gong Yueyue felt that her hand was pinched and hurt again. But facing everyone, she couldn't say anything, so she had to quietly pull her hand away.
This action obviously stimulated Zhao Changyuan. Zhao Changyuan refused to say anything and tightened his grip on the person in his hand. Afterwards, in the forbidden area of the palace, in full view of everyone, holding hands, the couple joined hands and walked into Yongle Palace together.
Gong Yueyue was so ashamed that she wanted to lower her head, or not. If she lowered her head, her heavy gold, jade, and jade headdress would break her little neck; but if she didn't lower her head, the main hall would
The bright and colorful brocades inside penetrated her countless times!
Zhao Changyuan could not care about Gong Yueyue's state of mind at this time, and took her to kneel down on the brocade couch that had been laid out, and paid his respects to the current Emperor Xiaocheng and the Dancing Queen who were sitting on the throne.
At this opportunity, Gong Yueyue took away her hand and hurriedly bowed her head to pay homage to the emperor and the queen's aunt.
Emperor Xiaocheng, who was wearing elegant court attire, peacefully accepted the obeisance of the two men on his throne.
Then Hou Changshi, who was the praiser, set up a table above the stairs and invited Emperor Xiaocheng, who was the bride's uncle, to attend. He also set up a table outside the room and invited the dancing queen, who was the bride's aunt, to the table. Hou Changshi also guided
Gong Yueyue walked up the west steps to the hall. Gong Yueyue took a bamboo basket of jujubes and chestnuts that had been prepared in Xinhui's hand, walked to Emperor Xiaocheng's table, bowed before him, and placed a bamboo basket of jujubes and chestnuts on the table.
Above. Emperor Xiaocheng stroked the bamboo slipper and jujube to express his acceptance of the gift from his bride Gong Yueyue. Then he stood up and bowed to Gong Yueyue. Gong Yueyue also hurriedly bowed again.
After the ceremony was completed, Gong Yueyue came down from the west steps, took a bamboo stick of dried meat from Lan Hui, went up to the hall again, walked to the dancing queen's table, bowed facing north, and put the dried meat into a bamboo stick.
Place it on the mat. The dancing queen, who is the queen's aunt, holds a bamboo slipper in her hand and bows in obeisance.
At this point, Gong Yueyue has completed the ceremony of meeting her aunt as a bride. But it is not over yet. The person who praised her, Hou Changshi, held a banquet on behalf of her aunt to reward the bride. Gong Yueyue offered wine three times and paid her respects again.
Three times later, my uncle entered the dormitory, and Gong Yueyue served her uncle to wash the food and complete the gift.
According to the process of the Shidu ceremony, the leftover food from the first offering ceremony is first eaten by the bride from her uncle’s food, and then the leftover food from her uncle’s aunt is eaten by the bride. After the bride makes a toast with the sacrificial wine, she puts away the remaining food from her uncle and aunt.
On the side, please invite the concubines who are accompanying you and the maids of your new husband to eat the leftover food together. Finally, as your aunt, you have to personally drink wine for the concubines and maids, rinse their mouths and eat well.
The aunt and uncle jointly entertained the bride with a gift. Your uncle washed her knighthood in the south of the court, and your aunt washed her knighthood in the north. After drinking and drinking, your uncle entertained the bride's bridegroom with a gift.
, and gave each other a bunch of silk as a gift. The king and his aunt also rewarded the woman for sending her relatives off, and also gave each other a bunch of silk as a reward.
These are the normal procedures for the obeisance ceremony.
However, an accident happened!
Because, after the bride Gong Yueyue finished eating the leftovers from her uncle's meal, Yin Jiang, the concubine's attendant, and Si Chou, the royal maid from the new son-in-law's side, were supposed to come to eat the remaining delicacies together, but they could not be found at the moment.
Shi Yin Jiang is gone.
This was beyond everyone's expectation! The people watching the ceremony in the hall were all the princes and their concubines, as well as several princesses, as well as their personal maids. There were even three disabled people who needed to lie down.
The prince Zhao Kang also came to watch the ceremony together with the third prince's concubine, Emperor Geng E.
It was at this time that everyone noticed that the bride's attendant was missing!
Or maybe, he didn’t come at all!
Gong Yueyue's surprise was extraordinary! She really didn't know whether Concubine Yin Jiang had come or not...
This is no wonder Gong Yueyue. How could she have the chance to ask about this matter at that time? She had been monitored by Zhao Changyuan when she arrived, and she never left Zhao Changyuan's eye for a moment. She had no time to worry about other people's affairs...
However, Gong Yueyue was reminded again this time.
Could it be that Yin Jiang's absence has something to do with Zhao Changyuan?
Gong Yueyue quietly glanced at Zhao Changyuan.
Facing the inquiring and questioning looks from everyone, Zhao Changyuan responded calmly and bowed his head towards Emperor Xiao Cheng: "Father, the emperor has an unkind request. I wonder whether I should tell it or not?"
Emperor Xiaocheng had not yet replied, but the third prince Zhao Kang, who was lying on his back on the couch, sneered loudly and intercepted him: "Hey, sixth brother, since it is an unkind invitation, it's better not to say it. If you don't say it out loud,
, Isn’t it embarrassing for my father?”
Princess Li Yi, who is a brother and sister of the same birth, also echoed: "Yes, Brother Sixth Emperor and Brother Three Emperors are right! Since I don't know whether I should say it or not, I also know that it is not a good thing to say it.
I'm afraid if you come out, your dirty words won't add a touch of melancholy to this happy day. Don't you think so, Brother Sixth Emperor?"
Li Yi rolled his bright eyes at Zhao Changyuan, and then asked the Dancing Queen for confirmation: "Mother, you haven't seen that my sixth brother and my eighth cousin were so... playing the harp, drums, and harps,
Yo Yo Lu Ming, husband and wife are loving and affectionate!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the main hall nodded secretly. Because everyone saw how intimately the two held hands when they entered.
The Dancing Queen smiled and nodded, "Li Yi, you don't have to say that! Otherwise, your Sixth Emperor brother personally asked for a marriage, and also named the fourth sister-in-law of the Wu family to be a concubine!"
Li Yi then gave the dancing queen a look that said, "You know a daughter better than her mother", and then tried to persuade Zhao Changyuan: "That's right, according to the emperor's sister Li Yi, why would the Sixth Emperor bother to embarrass the father?"
This big hat sealed Zhao Changyuan's fate. Before Zhao Changyuan could tell the whole story, the three dancing queens, mother and daughter, killed Zhao Changyuan with a sap.
Gong Yueyue glanced at Zhao Changyuan beside her with pity.
Zhao Changyuan didn't feel any strange. He smiled and said nothing. He waited for Li Yi to say the words "Why bother, father?", then he caught it in time, raised his head and said to Emperor Xiaocheng: "Father, sister Li Yi is really the emperor."
Even before the emperor expresses the bug in his belly, Li Yi already knows the difficulty in his heart!"
Taking another deep breath, Zhao Changyuan groaned as if it was extremely difficult to do, and cast a reluctant look at the lying third prince Zhao Kang. Then he replied to Emperor Xiaocheng with great embarrassment: "Father, your prince
I don’t want to do this either. But I have no choice but to do this. As brothers, how can we not achieve the best of everything? What’s more, it’s just a concubine. Last night, the emperor had never touched that concubine. Therefore, the emperor asked.
Father, make the decision and fulfill my wish for the Third Emperor Brother. Please send the concubine Yun'er to the Third Emperor Brother." (To be continued)
