The carriage drove slowly on Chang'an Street, from the Duke's Mansion of Wei to the Imperial Palace.????
Xu Zengshou seemed to want to send Xu Miaojin off, but in the end he resisted. There is no reason for the royal family to see off a concubine. When the current Queen Xue Xiyao entered the palace, although the emperor's grandson personally greeted her, there was no such thing as her natal family.
There were people to see her off. In order to prevent his sister from attracting attention on the first day after entering the palace, Xu Zengshou resisted and did not see her off.
Xu Huizu looked at the back of his sister who he had raised as his daughter, holding back the tears that were about to burst out again, and said to Xu Zengshou who was doing the same thing at the side: "Don't worry, the fourth sister will be fine in the palace."
"I hope so." After a long while, Xu Zengshou finally said. Although he was still dissatisfied, he was not willing to say bad words now.
At this time, the carriage carrying Xu Miaojin entered the palace from the side door on the south side of the palace and drove to the harem.
Although the matters of personal expedition and daily memorials were intertwined, and Yunxi was actually very busy, he still deliberately spared more than half a day to welcome Xu Miaojin to perform the etiquette of canonizing concubines.
According to the rules set by Zhu Yuanzhang for the canonization of concubines, after the concubines entered the palace in the morning, they paid homage to the queen at noon. The emperor issued a decree saying: "Concubine Xu, I am specially conferring the concubine Chen, and ordered the ministers to observe the etiquette and salute." Then he awarded Xu Miao a brocade book.
, no treasure.
In the afternoon, Queen Xue Xiyao led Xu Miaojin to report to the front palace, and then Xu Miaojin went to the emperor to express gratitude in front of the queen. This set of procedures was completed.
In the evening, when it was almost getting dark, Yunxi came out of Qianqing Palace, stood at the gate and hesitated for a while, and then walked to Jingren Palace, the palace where Xu Miaojin currently lives.
At this time, Xu Miaojin was sitting on his bed in Jingren Palace, wearing the same gorgeous clothes as when he entered the palace, waiting for Yunxi to come over and perform the marriage ceremony.
After a while, she saw that it was getting dark and asked, "What time is it now?"
Qingwen said: "Miss, it's almost Xu time."
Xu Miaojin murmured: "What is Yunxi doing? I saw him an hour ago. How can I deal with things in this little time?"
Qingwen was immediately frightened and said: "Miss! This is the palace, not the palace of our Duke of Wei! How can we directly address His Majesty by his first name!"
"Besides, even at home, if the master hears you addressing His Majesty by his first name, miss, he will definitely scold you, miss."
Xu Miaojin said: "What a waste! There is no one else here now, there are only a few of you who I brought into the palace from home, what does it matter!"
Of course, Qingwen felt that Xu Miaojin's casual attitude was wrong. They were not used to Xu Miaojin at home, so they wanted to continue to 'scold' Xu Miaojin.
But before she could continue to speak, She Yue who was guarding the door came over and said: "Miss, Your Majesty is coming this way." Just as She Yue spoke, the eunuch guarding the entrance of Jingren Palace also shouted
: "Your Majesty is here!"
Qingwen immediately changed his words and said: "Fourth Miss, please get up quickly to greet His Majesty!"
Xu Miaojin said: "You don't have to say that!" and stood up.
After a while, Yunxi walked in. Qingwen and the others hurriedly knelt down and saluted. Xu Miaojin also saluted and said, "I have met Your Majesty."
Yunxi said: "Everyone, get up." After they all got up, Yunxi then said: "You all get out!"
Qingwen and others glanced at Xu Miaojin worriedly, then bowed and left. After a while, they were the only two people in the room.
Then Yunxi sat down and said, "Miaojin, please sit down too."
"Although we have only met once before, I heard that you are very smart, and Xu Huizu probably told you what happened, so I married you into the palace mainly to balance the Wei Guogong Palace."
"Of course, I'm not saying you're not beautiful. Miaojin, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, which also attracts me."
"But although I, Zhu Yunxi, am not a gentleman, I am still a principled person. Since my purpose of marrying you into the palace is not pure, I will go to fight in person right away. As the saying goes, there is no guarantee of victory or defeat, as the saying goes, "There is no guarantee of victory or defeat."
If you die, you will suffer."
"So tonight, we don't have to perform the nun ceremony, and you can still maintain your perfect body. That's good! Otherwise, if so, I will always feel that I owe you."
"As for the rest, let's wait until I return from the expedition in person."
Yunxi finished what he wanted to say and was just about to tell him how to rest tonight when he saw Xu Miaojin's bright eyes open and said to him seriously: "Your Majesty, have you finished speaking?"
Yunxi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's over."
Xu Miaojin said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."
"No matter why Your Majesty allowed me to enter the palace, I have already entered the palace. No matter whether Your Majesty has performed the ceremony of husband and wife with me, I am already your Majesty's. Could it be that Your Majesty still thinks about what happens if you give birth to a child?"
If anything happens, will my concubine be able to remarry?"
"In this case, it doesn't matter whether I am a virgin or not!"
"Besides," Xu Miaojin blushed a little when she said this, but continued: "Although His Majesty accepted me into the palace because of my natal family, I have met Your Majesty several times before and I also like His Majesty, so...
"
Yunxi really didn't expect that Xu Miaojin would say such words. Although an ancient woman was not in public, she said such words to a man who was still a stranger. Yunxi could not have expected it.
And what Xu Miaojin said makes sense. Regardless of whether he possesses Xu Miaojin or not, Xu Miaojin is destined to be his, and there is almost no way to change it. Even if he died on the battlefield, this cannot be changed. In
On this issue, Yunxi still subconsciously did not put himself into the emperor's perspective.
Moreover, Yunxi glanced at Xu Miaojin up and down. She was really beautiful, the most beautiful woman Yunxi had ever seen. It would be a lie for Yunxi to say that he was not moved.
Now that Xu Miaojin had said this, Yunxi was surprised by her boldness, but decided to take back what he said before.
However, Yunxi did not make any immediate move. Instead, he raised his head and stared into Xu Miaojin's eyes until Xu Miaojin was so embarrassed that his neck turned red. Then he smiled and walked forward to pick up Xu Miaojin and put her in his arms.
Carry him to bed.
…
In the next few days, Yunxi stayed in Xu Miaojin's Jingren Palace. Yunxi found that a woman like Xu Miaojin with a slightly modern girlish style was most in line with his taste, so he quickly fell in love with Xu Miaojin. His love for Xu Miaojin
Even more than he loves Xiyao.
The remaining modern thinking in Yunxi also surprised Xu Miaojin, and her feelings for Yunxi quickly deepened. The two became inseparable and inseparable.
But there are only a few days like this, because the day of Yunxi's personal expedition has arrived.
