Chapter Seventeen: King Yi's Great Marriage Part 1
"Miss, miss, open the door quickly!" As soon as the ugly moment passed, the ice dew began to pat outside the door.
Ye Luo opened his eyes and looked at the room, which was still dark. He closed his eyes, pulled the quilt over his head, and continued to sleep.
She came back yesterday morning and changed identities with Bingyue. She had been traveling for several days and before she had time to rest, she was tortured by the nuns in the palace until the evening. Just after sleeping for an hour, that damn girl Binglu started to make trouble.
she.
"Miss Ye, it's past time to get up." Boom, boom, boom, regular knocking on the door came into his ears. It was the voice of Aunt Li from the palace. Ye Luo sat up in a daze and got ready.
I went to open the door, thought for a moment, turned on the light, put my clothes in order, and then walked over.
The night breeze blew against his face, and the cool touch made Ye Luo wake up a lot from his sleep. He was quite surprised when he saw the scene outside the door. Under the clear moonlight, he saw only two stewardesses followed by No. 100.
Everyone is wearing festive red clothes, and their hands are not empty. They are either carrying a big red paint box, holding a mahogany pallet in their hands, or carrying something...
Although Ye Luo was a little surprised, his expression did not change at all, and he said softly to the two nuns in front of him, "Thank you, nanny, please come in."
Aunt Li and Aunt Lan were both nuns who had experienced three dynasties in the palace, and were popular people around the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother felt sentimental after the death of the Ming Dynasty emperor. After experiencing the pain of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person away, she spent her early years on Mount Wutai.
Pray for blessings. A few years ago, the emperor was worried about the health of the queen mother and went to the mountain to bring her back. Although he had not paid attention to the affairs of the palace for many years, the emperor was extremely filial to the biological mother and had a high prestige in the palace.
After the Queen Mother came back, she was very fond of her, the Sixth Emperor's grandson, King Yi. It is said that the imperial edict to marry Miss Murong together was brought to him by Prince Yi after he begged the Queen Mother.
Ye Luo naturally knew that the Queen Mother was not satisfied with her, the daughter of a merchant. If her birth date and horoscope hadn't coincided with King Yi's, how could she have agreed to let herself marry King Yi. And later, in order to compete for the title of Princess
Donating hundreds of millions of taels of silver was even more unpopular in the heart of the old lady.
Having said that, if there is anyone in the palace who can rely on her, it must be the Queen Mother. As for the Emperor's cunning fox, she is just looking forward to causing trouble for herself. Although she does not plan to live in the palace permanently, one more friend is better than too many.
An enemy is good, not to mention that person is an elder. She doesn't expect the Queen Mother to protect her in the future. At least she won't cause trouble for her. Naturally, she has to behave well.
Ye Luo moved lightly and sat in front of the dressing table, waiting quietly. Maybe she slept too late yesterday and was very sleepy, so she didn't realize that her room had already turned red, with red bed curtains and red long candles.
, the red word "happiness", red is everywhere...
Ye Luo felt it was ridiculous. No matter how he didn't care, he still felt a little sad in his heart. After all, he was about to give up to a complete stranger.
The two nuns were very satisfied when they saw Ye Luo's performance. They obeyed the Queen Mother's order to teach Miss Ye's family rules. Naturally, they understood what the Queen Mother thought. After getting along with each other for a few days, they found that in fact, besides dressing up, Miss Ye's family had some
Apart from being gaudy, she has a good character and is obedient. After returning to the palace, she will be able to explain herself to the Queen Mother.
But what they didn't know was that the real Ye Luo had only been with them for half a day.
After the two nuns entered the house, several palace ladies came in carrying a large bathtub, and then several palace ladies came in one after another carrying wooden buckets and pouring hot water into the bucket. These people were very fast in both their steps and movements.
are exactly the same.
This was clearly just a performance. Ye Luo watched quietly all the time, secretly thinking that the people in the palace really have rules.
The bathing took a full hour. Ye Luo sat in it, wanting to sleep but not daring to sleep. She picked up a layer of flower petals with her hands and looked helplessly at the palace maids standing in a circle. It was expected that she had never seen the world.
I can't stand this situation either.
One piece, two pieces, three pieces... Ye Luo looked at the layers of clothes on her body, turned around and secretly yawned, and wore the last layer of black wide-sleeved double-breasted embroidered long floor-length wedding gown.
When it was on my body, I breathed a sigh of relief and put on six layers of clothes.
The wedding dress of China is not bright red as Ye Luo thinks. Both the bride and groom wear dignified black dresses. Black, the color of red in black, is the most sacred color that symbolizes heaven according to the five elements theory.
A palace maid wiped the sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief. It would be weird to wear so many layers of clothes in the summer and not sweat. But Ye Luo felt that it was not caused by heat at all, but by cold sweat.
It was finally clean, and only Xi Niang was left in the room. Ye Luo sat in front of the dressing mirror, and with difficulty raised the heads of Bu Yao and Feng Chai who were covered with pearl flowers, and saw herself in the mirror.
I couldn't help but froze.
Is that her? The originally black panda eye circles have been turned into cyan after being beaten, the cheeks are painted into monkey butts, which contrasts sharply with the white powder on the face, and the bright red lips are like cow hair for drinking blood.
Last night, she specifically told Bingyue to apply more powder and rouge on her, but now it seems that there is no need for it at all. Compared with her usual heavy makeup, this makeup is really perfect.
Ye Luo heard someone push the door open and turned around. It turned out that it was Aunt Qing and the others, and she hurriedly and happily greeted them.
Ouyang Mingqi was startled when he saw Ye Luo's face turned around. Why did his pretty and lovely sister look like this? He worriedly asked, "Little sister, what kind of show are you pretending to be?"
"Xiniang, take this, go down and rest early before the auspicious time." Qingyuan took out a red envelope and handed it to Xiniang, sending her away.
Xiniang squeezed the red envelope with her hand and thought to herself that the Ye family is really rich, and Xiniang could get such a big red envelope. She happily said, "Hey, thank you, madam."
"Brother, how are you? Your sister is beautiful today. I will let Bingyue learn from her later. Where is daddy?" Ye Luo said jokingly.
"Dad is entertaining guests in the front hall, why don't you want to see your brother?" Ouyang Mingqi shook his head and smiled when he saw Ye Luo's naughty expression.
Ye Luo was married as Ouyang Wen's daughter Ouyang Piaoling, and came to the general's mansion the night before. Needless to say, there was another farewell next, and Ye Luo and Feiyi Junmo explained everything one by one before they felt relieved.
In the study room of Prince Yi's Mansion, Mo Yichen was still dressed in white sitting behind the desk. Sometimes he picked up a pen and wrote something on the paper, sometimes he put down the book and thought deeply, as if the sound of the suona outside had nothing to do with him.
Bingli, who was standing aside, was holding a mahogany tray in his hand, looking at the black wedding dress on it, and looking longingly at the leisurely man in white, and once again said bravely, "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has passed.
