The Pearl on the Emperor’s Crown

These few days, Zhu Yi has been particularly comfortable.

Although Xie Ying is busy, she always finds time to accompany her. Apart from shopping, I also visited my brother and even took her to the Sheng's house. The old man Sheng's love and enthusiasm for her was beyond her expectation, and the meeting gifts given to her were extremely rich, and Xie Ying must take her more.

But when she had been in the mansion for many days, Xie Ying didn't ask her to visit Wang Wei Ning, the princess, and the old princess. She always felt a little uneasy, and couldn't help but mention a few words.

Xie Ying only said: "Yiyi is a princess, with a distinguished status. Before getting married, how can you go to see a courtier. When you are married, you can go through the etiquette of in-laws and elders."

Zhu Yi had no choice but to give up, but his eyes stayed on Xie Ying's face, reluctant to turn away.

"What is the princess looking at?" Xie Ying raised her eyebrows slightly when she found Zhu Yi's eyes.

Zhu Yi said, "I think how you treat me so well." She snuggled into the other's arms on the initiative: "Xie Ying, when did you like me?"

Xie Ying hugged her, thinking about the other party's problem.

He couldn't tell. Perhaps when he first rejected Ju Yi, he walked a long way and turned his head to find that she was still standing there looking at him. Perhaps it was because he returned to Beijing to approach her again when he was last year, and she had tolerated his first injury without complaint. Perhaps it was because of her staring look back when she danced in red under the moon.

He admits that he has a fanatical fascination with Zhu Yi's body, but what really makes it difficult for him to let go is the way she looks at him every time.

"This question is difficult to answer?" Zhu Yi frowned. I'm going to marry her, don't even know this?

"Of course not." Xie Ying said that Zhu Yi wanted to hear the answer most: "Like Yi Yi, I met for the first time in the Plaza of Supreme Harmony." He said that she was stuck with her lips with love. mouth.

Xie Ying was able to calm down, but the other people in this palace couldn't calm down.

At this moment, Wang Wei Ning was standing in Princess Mu’s room and asked Zhu Dai in front of his mother, “Adai would like to be your cousin as a side room?”

The faces of Old Princess Mu and Zhu Dai were all white. Knowing that even King Wei Ning was unable to take Xie Ying, I asked this question. Ju Dai nodded.

Old Princess Mu looked at Zhu Dai's immature face and felt that this grandson really resembled her Zi Ning. She pityed the little girl for her failure at a young age, and even the misfortune of her own daughter. Naturally, she loved Zhu Dai a lot.

She categorically said: "My Adele must never be a concubine." Then he said: "Aying insisted that he was leading the decree to welcome Xizhen to surrender, and he was honoring that Xizhen outside, so let him This wish is fulfilled. If he is not allowed to marry this woman, I am afraid that he will become a stumbling block."

Zhu Dai grabbed Princess Mu's hand and shook it, and the other side signaled her to stay calm, and then said: "Adai is still young, don't worry. When Xizhen gets married first, it will be all that Aying thinks. Men are all. The picture is fresh, there won’t be such a baby in a while, when Xizhen commits something unforgivable to Ah Ying, she will naturally move our land to Adai."

The phrase "unforgivable thing" made both Wang Wei Ning and Zhu Dai's heart beat.

King Wei Ning frowned. He couldn't control Xie Ying's son anymore. He had thought that if Zhu Dai could marry Xie Ying, the next generation of Xie's sons who gave birth would always be able to face his grandfather. However, Xie Ying's reluctance to marry his favorite daughter-in-law made him even more disappointed.

King Wei Ning said: "It can only be so." The anger remained unsolved: "That's a princess, she doesn't even have a dowry. Such a woman can be the first concubine of the Wei Ning Palace." He thought of it. Yan Yuer's generous Jinfeng still feels a pity.

The old princess Mu shook her head and said: "Fall, who made Ah Ying a fancy."

Wei Ning Wang Zhong hummed, "I will ask my mother to be the master at that time."

After Xie Ying left the house, Zhu Yi and Zhu Chuo also took a carriage to leave from the small gate on the west side of Lushiyuan, so that they don't have to go to the main entrance of the palace, so that the two sisters feel that they have less staring eyes and are more comfortable.

They went to Han Yunrong's house.

Han Yunrong did not accept the servants and maids gifted by Xie Ying, so this huge house was very deserted. He was a man with strong self-esteem, and of course he did not want to accept the gift of his brother-in-law.

Zhu Yi thought that there was no one around his brother who knew cold or hot, so he showed off his cooking skills in person. Her current craftsmanship can be said to be advancing by leaps and bounds. The first home-cooked dish of tofu **** with soy sauce was so delicious that Zhu Chuo's tongue was bitten off.

However, Han Yunrong has not returned home for a long time after cooking a table of dishes. I asked the concierge and said that the master was very busy these few days.

"Han Yunrong is busy too?" Zhu Chuo asked: "What is so busy about him."

Zhu Yi thought for a while and calmed her: "Achuo, of course he is busy to marry you."

Han Yunrong is indeed busy now, and it is indeed to marry Zhu Chuo. Because he gave his sister almost all his wealth as a dowry. Even knowing that this kind of financial resources is insignificant in front of Xie Ying, he still can't help but do his best to give her more.

In just a few days, the Zhu Yi sisters did not know that Han Yunrong became famous among Weizhou civil and military officials.

In the beginning, when the Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty was entrusted with the feudal vassal, only Changshi Division was established, and Chang Shisi led twelve government officials to share administrative affairs and general affairs. However, after the feudal vass became larger, the military strength increased, and it was natural to set up special departments to manage the growing army.

The military department set up by Weizhou was the Military Mansion. There was no emperor listed, nor did the emperor take money to support it. Everyone did this, and the emperor was helpless. There was not even a plaque hanging outside the gate of Weizhou Military Mansion, but it did not affect its pivotal status in the slightest.

The Military Mansion is in charge of military orders, military officers and military status, armor, vehicles and horses, and military elections, and holds the military lifeline of the entire Weizhou.

Xie Ying announced that Han Yunrong would join the military mansion and serve as the Youzan Army, in charge of military attaché selection and military intelligence consultation. A person who came to Weizhou for the first time, placed in such an important position, naturally attracted a lot of attention.

However, Xie Ying has a very high prestige and a tough style. Secondly, Gu Taiyan also praised him, and thirdly, Han Yunrong was a senior official of the imperial court at a young age. So although there are people who are skeptical in their hearts, no one has said it.

The two sisters hadn't waited for Han Yunrong to go home for a long time. Seeing that it was getting late, they had to go back to the palace first.

Seven days passed, and Zhu Yi was escorted to Sheng's house by Han Yunrong and Shengling the night before she got married.

The one hundred and twenty-eight dowry was placed in Sheng's house early, full of pearls and jade ornaments, four-time clothing, gold and silver porcelain, woven and embroidered cloth, brocade draperies, study furniture and other objects.

Most of Zhu Yi’s dowry was prepared by Xie Ying himself, and part of it was produced by Han Yunrong. This is the result of Xie Ying and Han Yunrong’s uncompromising results. Another part is the makeup added by Sheng Xiao and Gu Taiyan.

On the day of marriage, there were red cloths in the city of Wei Yuan, which was very festive.

Anyone with a heart can understand that Xie Ying arranged for Princess Xizhen to marry from the Sheng family. Naturally, she wanted the Sheng family to be Zhu Yi's patron. This kind of care made many officials dare not look down on this imperial concubine in the slightest. After all, as long as she can live until Xie Ying ascends the throne, she should be the queen without a surprise.

The honor guards cleared the way, the gongs and drums were noisy, and the team picking up the relatives clamored the entire Weiyuan City.

On the side of the street where the welcoming procession passed by, the common people rubbed their shoulders one after another, squeezing behind the wall of soldiers lined up, and even the windows of the buildings on both sides were full of people.

There should be no tents around the phoenix car that Zhu Yi was riding in, but Xie Ying selfishly used a translucent red silk curtain, and the crowd of onlookers could only see a shadowy figure.

But looking at the flowers in the mist, I felt that Li Ying was hidden in the fairy air, making people even more fascinated.

Xie Ying rode in front, led the team into the palace, turned over and got off the horse, waiting for Zhu Yi to be greeted and disembarked.

Zhu Yi wears a crown of nine phoenixes and four phoenixes, and a single collar of green gauze is exposed from the slender neck of the snow-nen. She was helped by Wen Yan to get off the phoenix car. The crimson embroidered shoes with bright pearls stepped on the two-foot-wide five-color felt, and walked slowly towards the main hall.

Zhu Yi's heart beats extremely fast. With Luan Feng Heming's red hijab over her head, she could only see a square inch of the toes, but she knew that this was going to take her to Xie Ying.

And Xie Ying smiled from the moment Zhu Yi appeared from Fengnian, and his eyes followed her, so that anyone who came to the ceremony could experience his joyful mood.

Guided by the high and low voice of the tribute officer, Xie Ying and Zhu Yi finished their courtesy, each holding one end of the ribbon of colored balls, and was sent into the bridal chamber.

Zhu Yi sat on the big red brocade mattress made by the old man Quanfu, Xie Ying took out the Ruyi head from the lacquer plate and weighed it lightly. He and the many female relatives who followed the new house saw the girl glowing. Red cheeks.

The heavy clothing made Zhu Yi's figure not too eye-catching, but her face was truly blessed, and even the golden pattern of phoenix peonies on the splendid kimono dress on the crown of the princess was just a shameless foil.

The people who saw Zhu Yi for the first time regained their senses and said in their hearts: No wonder, the world can be so kind. There were also two wives who knew that Princess Mu did not like this grandson-in-law, showing subtle expressions.

Zhu Yi was a little nervous when she saw a female family she didn't know, so she quickly glanced at Xie Ying. Fortunately, he was there.

Today, Xie Ying is wearing a lucky red dress with silver embroidered gold, a finger-wide belt of the same color tied around her waist, a jade ring hanging down, her black hair tied with a jade crown, her whole body is like a peak of Chu, slender and tall. .

Zhu Yi has never seen Xie Ying wear red, so scorching, it makes him look more prosperous and oppressive than usual.

When the maid presented the Heyu Cup, Xie Ying first took a cup and handed it to Zhu Yi, and then picked up his own. The two raised their arms and staggered across, drinking the sake in the cup together, without words, tacit actions and intersecting sights. Have said all the love for each other.

Zhu Yi, who had drunk the Hepu wine, was filled with the feeling of perfect peace and goodness. At any rate, he married him without any twists and turns.

There was a big banquet in the main hall, and the guests were crowded. Naturally, Xie Ying had to go to the banquet first. When he left, he whispered meaningfully: "Yiyi, wait for me."

Jue reacted to what he meant, biting his lower lip and nodding.

After everyone exited, Zhu Yi was able to take a leisurely look at the surrounding furnishings, and saw that the house was very spacious and decorated with quaint paintings. On the right side, there was a glass mirror dressing table from his daughter’s house, a cabinet with hundreds of flowers, etc. The furniture used by the woman is uncertain. Question: "Tao Fan, is this a new house modified from Xie Ying's room?"

Tao Fan understood what Zhu Yi wanted to ask. Although many upper-class nobles were married, they all had their own yard and did not sleep together every night. However, the elder son obviously did not plan to live with the princess, so he said: "This is the Muyetang where the elder son lives. The elder son has changed part of the furnishings because the prince came in."

Zhu Yi put her heart down, she didn't want to live apart from Xie Ying at all.

Mianfeng asked Zhu Yi: "Can the princess take a bath now?"

Zhu Yi answered well.

She had taken a shower and changed clothes, and the Dragon and Phoenix Wedding Candle was also lit, but Xie Ying hadn't returned yet.

Zhu Yi knows that almost all the famous people in Weizhou come to congratulate each other today. As Xie Ying, although he will not meet one by one, it is impossible to leave too early. I should be able to drink a lot of wine.

So I quickly asked if the pottery fan sober soup was ready? I heard that I had already heard of it, so I let my mind down.

Between the lively banquets, not everyone was smiling. At least Zhu Dai didn't.

And Xie Shao, although his face was smiling when he received the guests, there was no smile in his eyes.

Everyone’s ears are full of congratulations to Xie Ying and Zhu Yi: "Fu Di Yuan", "Luan Feng He Ming" and so on...

Zhu Yi sat quietly by the bed and waited for Xie Ying. Finally, there was a movement outside.
