Chapter 315 Longevity Celebration, Final Choice
On the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month, the wind and snow stop, the clouds dissipate, and the sun is brightly illuminated.
In Yongding Gate, along the open stone street, all the way to the color gallery, and to the Zhengyang Gate of the inner city, there are countless lamp collection workshops, singing and dancing to celebrate. On the colored walls on both sides of Zhuque Street, Zhu silk is knotted into the words "Ten Thousand Years of Life" and "Ten Thousand Years of the Son of Heaven". Outside Chengtianmen, on the picture screen of longevity undertaken by officials, the character red gold longevity is full. Ten thousand digital bodies, brilliant and colorful.
The actual song and dance celebration has lasted for several days, until the 18th Christmas, and the songs rose to each other, and the thousand voices of gold and stones reached **.
People in Kyoto, everyone wears new clothes, and every family sets up incense cases to celebrate their longevity.
The Daqing ceremony was held in the Taihe Hall. The bells and bronze yin played music, and the drums and fluteed in unison. Kyoto princes and nobles and civil and military officials knelt down to present their salute. Long live the congratulations shocked the sky.
The emperor was congratulated, so he rewarded hundreds of officials, gave a banquet at noon, and the kings and ministers were happy together.
In the evening, the night gradually closed. Inside and outside the capital, Jinbi Xianghui, Jinqi, Hualanbao candles, and fog were dense. The banquet in the front hall was over, and the officials were full of fun. Only then did the emperor enter the Qianming Palace and receive three worships under the leadership of the queen, clans and wives.
The dinner is set in the imperial garden. In addition to the concubines, the prince's clan relatives, the noble women at all levels, and noble women, of course, there are also important ministers and famous family members invited by the emperor. Compared with the luncheon and the courtiers, the dinner is more colorful and harmonious atmosphere.
On the dragon seat, the red carpet stretched down, the dancer in a light gauze skirt has a slender waist, holding peaches in her hand, holding red silk in her arms, dancing, and the sound of silk and bamboo is constantly winding.
It was not until Xuzheng that the holy driver moved to Mingyu Hall to watch songs and operas, and held this celebration all night.
Yijing and her sisters have been separated for more than a month and have been together for a palace banquet, and there are many topics.
Although the second mother was about to get married, she entered the palace with the elders of the family. At this time, her face was full of joy, looking left and right, but she looked at An Hui and hummed coldly.
Anhui was originally sitting with the daughter of the Chen family. Seeing the beautiful scenery with golden phoenix beads and colorful clothes, she was shining and very unwilling in her heart. She also saw that her brother's eyebrows were gloomy in the male guest seat, and she kept looking at the women's family of the Duke's seat. She was very sorry and sad, and her heart was even more blocked, so she crossed several seats until the beautiful scene. By his side, he squeezed Si Niang away without saying a word and sat down with a big thorn. First, he smiled coldly and raised his eyebrows: "Jing, you look good. Do you know that the second brother has been drinking to drown his sorrow these days?"
As soon as Liu Niang heard this, her intuition was not good, so she pulled Yijing up and got up: "Fifth sister, I'm tired of sitting. It's like we going out to disperse."
Whenever noble women have the need to "go to the toilet", they are often called "sitting tired". Everyone will know that. Of course, they will not ask more, let alone obstruct.
An Hui was unwilling to go, but she was pulled by Qi Niang: "Sister Hui, your clothes are really beautiful. The colored warbler above is vividly embroidered. I don't know which embroidery workshop it comes from?"
She was blocked by Qi Niang and received another compliment. An Hui didn't have time to follow. After she proudly showed off, there was no sign of Yijing and Liu Niang.
Outside the Mingyu Hall, the moonlight is just right, and the lights are brighter.
Liu Niang and beautiful scenery took a walk and gradually moved away from the music and joy. They only heard a few salutes and raised their eyes to see fireworks burning in the night sky.
Suddenly there was a sigh.
Yingjing looked at Liu Niang in surprise. Her sister rarely felt sad.
"Fifth sister, I really hope that the emperor will marry me and complete my sister and Sha Tinke."
Binjing:......
Liu Niang took Yijing's arm and said seriously: "I heard my mother and Grandma Lan talking about it, saying that the noblewomen outside said that the fifth sister was afraid to marry the third prince as a concubine, but the grandmother still meant it was still in the palace of Chu."
Sure enough, there were rumors outside, and the beautiful scenery was even heavier, but she smiled and nodded Liu Niang's forehead: "My sister also learned to listen to the corner of the wall?"
Liu Niang didn't care and smiled gently: "If Sha Tingke becomes my fifth brother-in-law, I can get the ink treasure he and his sister in the future, which is hard to find."
Binjing:......
"Fifth sister, is your pleasant person Sha Tingke or the Third Highness?"
Bingjing was slightly choking, and I felt that my heart was congested. After a while, I said helplessly, "When the fate of marriage, it is not up to me to be decided by my parents."
Liu Niang's bright eyes looked at the beautiful scenery. From between her sister's eyebrows, she caught a little gloomy, guessed a few points, and shook the beautiful scenery's arm: "Don't worry, sister. If your grandmother is here, you will definitely plan for your sister." Suddenly, he said of the fourth sister: "The second sister is going to get married in February, and the fourth sister's marriage has been decided. The fifth sister just returned from Bingzhou and entered the palace because she didn't know."
Binjing thought that if there was no accident, it should be the third son of Yao Langzhong's family.
Sure enough, Liu Niang said, "It's Sanlang of the Yao family. I have come to visit my grandmother. The sisters hid behind the partition and peeked. I saw that the third sister was not lukewarm. The second sister was very satisfied. The fourth sister's face was red, and the seventh sister praised repeatedly, saying that it was Yulang."
Yingjing nod her head, the sixth sister was still that temperament. She didn't like to join in the fun and should not have joined in the peeping.
The two sisters talked about the trivialities of the family outside, and in the Mingyu Hall, at the prince's ancestral banquet, the third prince squeezed away Yuzhou with blue eyelids, holding a cup of wine, only looking at Yu Yu's light smile, and his eyes were very enchanting.
"Your Highness, are you all right?" Yu Wei returned with a smile, and the clouds were light and the wind was clear.
The prince's relatives around either went to the empress dowager to make fun, or formed their own group of crisscrossing, and no one paid attention to this head.
"The son just came back from a long way, so he heard about Beijing?" The third prince raised his eyebrows.
In fact, the third prince's heart is not ten times. After this life is on the line, although the lukewarm attitude of the scenery has changed greatly, he is still polite, a little estranged, and outspoken, saying that he is ruthless to him, and even admits that he belongs to him, which really makes him sour, hateful, and helpless.
Although the emperor was moved and agreed to consider the marriage, he did not make up his mind.
The next day, he will leave Beijing and make an envoy to Xiliang.
But if you just leave like this, you can't be at ease in the end.
We must do something. It's best to let Yu Wei retreat. Only without this barrier can the emperor make up his mind.
The emperor gave marriage, and it is difficult for the scenery to refuse.
He doesn't believe that the beautiful woman's heart is always the same for a long time.
His full enthusiasm will cover his soft heart over time.
All plans have been made, and I have asked for my father's approval.
It's tonight.
"To say, this time I took more care of my fifth sister, which saved me from danger." The third prince smiled gently and still stared at Yu Yu.
And seeing that he looked at home, he responded as usual: "Your Highness is blessed by God."
The words were ineffective, and the third prince was very boring. He took a look at the stage, and the actor threw away his sleeves, and saw the emperor's close servant, Grandpa Zhan, bending his waist and receiving a few words of sacred meaning. Looking this way.
The third prince raised his eyebrows slightly.
Soon after, the emperor and the empress dowager laughed a few words and got up and left the table.
Grandpa Zhan came here and said to Yu Yu with a smile, "Son, please."
Yu Yu finally frowned slightly.
As soon as the third prince raised the corners of his lips and saw the prince leaving the table, he slowly got up and saw that the sisters in the garden were walking, and Eunuch Zhan was already facing that end. Looking at the corridor, he saw that Yu Yu followed the maid in Zhuyi and had turned the corner, so he slowly followed him and walked all the way to Lanshan.
Eunuch Zhan walked lightly and came behind the scenery before he coughed and interrupted the two noble daughters' gossip.
The heart of the scenery is also sinking.
"Princess, please follow the old slave." Eau-in-law Zhan bent his waist, with a respectful attitude, and his eyebrows were quiet.
Binjing gradually clenched his palm.
Of course, she knows that this is a holy intention and can't refuse.
"It's cold outside. It's better for the sixth sister to go into the hall. Tell her mother that I'll be back later." Seeing that Liu Niang was quite worried, she calmly said.
Zhu Yi was instructed by Duke Zhan to lead Yu Yu all the way to the appanshan place. Compared with the golden wall in the palace garden today, although this place is also a palace lamp burning, because of the rare people, it reveals quiet and desolation.
On the pool platform, the three-story carved pavilion stood quietly. The servant in Zhu Yi invited Yu to the top floor and pushed away the pavilion fan, but saw that the room was dark and the lights were not lit. Only the palace lamp on the corridor was a trance through Yin Zhu's screen window.
There is no one in the pavilion.
Yu Yu is inevitably suspicious and moves his eyebrows slightly.
He originally thought that the emperor's edict was to talk about marriage, but was he wrong?
Which one is this?
Zhu Yi's maid smiled: "The emperor told me to wait in the cabinet."
Yu Wei went in and heard a "squeak", but the waiter closed the cabinet fan, walked gently, went straight to a row of windows in the south, and pointed to a table and chair in the shadow of the lamp: "Son, please sit down."
The attitude is respectful, but there is no doubt.
For a moment, Yu Yu saw another shadow, bypassing the west screen window and came to him.
has no intention of entering.
Less tilt, another dark shadow, a faint cloud, standing in the window.
"Your Highness?" The familiar voice was a little surprised.
Yu Yu clenched his palms and looked at the servant in Zhu Yi, but saw him holding his breath and standing with his eyes down. Suddenly, he didn't notice.
Out of the south window, in the dazzling shadow of the palace lamp, the scenery was announced by Duke Zhan, and he walked around the corridor to the side of the lake. What he saw was a python dress, with a golden leather belt and phoenix eyes. It was inevitable that the third prince was a little surprised.
Originally, I thought it was the emperor's edict.
The heart of the scenery is a little heavier.
Obviously, this meeting was at the behest of the emperor.
"I haven't seen you for many days, is the fifth sister okay?" Seeing the scenery standing a few steps away, the third prince took the initiative to move forward.
Two figures, reflected on the screen window, are almost audible.
Seeing that the scenery did not answer, he looked slightly and avoided his eyes. The third prince's eyes darkened, and the coldness was even more condensed, but the corners of his lips gently raised a smile: "The fifth sister is finally relieved to return safely, right?" Another sigh: "How much affection does the fifth sister owe to pay so much attention to Yuanyang?"
The third prince's eyes slowly swept to the window, smiling deeper.
He was guessing that what Yijing said that day was aimed at Yu Wei.
For arrears and compensation, Yu Yu is very arrogant and may accept this so-called "affection"?
I have to say that the third prince is right.
The man sitting quietly through the window was gloomy.
"Your Highness invited me here today, why on earth?" Yijing was really upset. She didn't want to involve Yu Yu in the entanglement with the third prince, let alone talk about Yu Yu with the people in front of her.
"Why should the fifth sister be anxious? Is what I just said not true? That year, when I saw you in Tangquan Palace, I often looked far away, full of apologies, and I was really curious about what you had done before I felt that I owed him. The third prince asked again.
He expected that the scenery would not discuss with him on this topic, and she would not have ears through the window. She avoided it, and the person in the window had another meaning.
Sure enough——
"I have nothing to do with Your Highness. If there is nothing else, please allow me to leave first."
"Five sister, I will make an envoy to Xiliang the day after tomorrow." Suddenly, the topic changed, and the third prince smiled: "Father specially agreed to let me resign with you."
Yijing turned around for a moment and looked at the third prince for a moment. Seeing that he didn't seem to be telling a lie, he said goodbye seriously: "Well, first of all, I wish Your Highness a smooth journey."
"What I said that day, what do you think about the fifth sister?" This is confusing. Although the scenery can be understood, others are easy to misunderstand.
did not wait for the third prince to speak, and the third prince approached again: "I am stubborn, and I know that the fifth sister is still hesitating. Originally, I didn't want to force her, but she was about to travel, which is inevitable. I hope the fifth sister will consider it carefully and at least wait for me to return. The fifth sister not only knows my heart, but also leads me with sincerity. Please make a serious choice.
What's more, the third prince took the lead in leaving, leaving only one sentence: "I promised my fifth sister, so that I can feel at ease."
Yi Jing was stunned on the spot, full of worries--
Choice? Does she really have a choice now? The intention of the emperor today can be said to be good. Isn't it a hint that there has been a focus or let her choose? It's just a superficial article.
If it is not bad as expected, the emperor will see it later.
It's good for her to make a choice, at least not to embarrass Yu.
She has only one way out, so why should she consider it carefully?
Binjing smiled gently, but the corners of his eyes were filled with astringent pain.
Duke Zhan came forward respectfully: "Princess, please follow the old slave."
At present, he got the carved pavilion, but he went to the warm pavilion of the third prince to heal his wounds that day. He was empty and did not see the dragon face of the emperor.
The scenery is not asked, just looking down and waiting.
She didn't know that when she entered the warm pavilion, Yu was led by Zhu Yi's maid to a flower hall.
