On the ninth day of the eighth month of the second year of Da Qi Xihe, it is forbidden to travel and it is better to get married.
This day is indeed the auspicious day chosen by Qin Tianjian. The sky is clear and the wind is gentle. Even the autumn tiger is much gentler, as if the violent Hedong lion suddenly lost its power and regained its shyness.
At the end of Changning Street near the Forbidden City, a procession of ceremonial guards came slowly, playing music and playing music. It was very festive, and it looked like a team welcoming a bride. However, what is different from ordinary people is that there is no red wedding sedan in the procession, but an apricot-yellow sedan chair carried by sixteen people. The curtains of the ceremony are embroidered with phoenixes in gold thread, with golden tassels hanging from the top of the carriage, and golden dragon heads protruding from the four corners. The dragon heads hold strings of colorful eight-jewel beads, swaying gently in the wind, and match the golden phoenixes on the curtains and the bones of the carriage. The carved golden dragons complement each other and are so dazzling that it hurts the eyes.
The only one who is qualified to get married using this kind of thing is the queen.
The streets were lined with people, all craning their necks to look at the procession, exclaiming from time to time. It was more lively than watching a temple fair—temple fairs happen every year, but the emperor’s wedding is something I’m afraid I’ll only see in this lifetime. This has happened, can you take a good look at it?
Although there were many people in the wedding procession and music had to be played, there was no chaos at all and they moved forward in an orderly manner. Among them, four cute-looking little eunuchs were responsible for throwing candy cubes and copper coins into the crowd, carrying them in hemp bags. Less than half of the candy and money had gone down. As the little **** raised his arms, waves of commotions came from the crowd.
When the team was about to arrive at Ye Mansion, they saw a crowd of people kneeling in darkness at the gate of Ye Mansion from a distance. The leader was an old man with gray beard and hair, with a respectful face and bright eyes.
“That’s not Mr. Ye Ge.” Someone in the crowd had sharp eyes and recognized the old man’s identity at a glance.
“Who is Mr. Ye Ge?” asked a childish voice.
“Mr. Ye Ge is a bachelor of the Zhongji Palace, the chief minister of the cabinet, a master of two generations of emperors, and a veteran of three dynasties!” As several identities were revealed, the speaker’s tone also rose. Although he was not familiar with Ye Ge, this did not hinder his pride when he said this.
The people around him also let out a burst of praise that satisfied the speaker. Although everyone knows this kind of thing, every time I hear someone say it, I can’t help but respect it. It’s like seeing a busker on the street. Even though I’ve seen it many times, I still have to stop and watch it for a while. .
“The girl who got married today is the granddaughter of Mr. Ye Ge. Her maiden name is Ye Zhenzhen. She is seventeen years old. Mr. Ye Ge has three grandsons, but he only has one granddaughter. He is loved like a treasure. A collection of thousands of favors.” Another person said.
“You dare to praise the Queen’s name casually without fear of being caught and slapped?” the listener joked.
“I heard that this marriage was decided three years ago.”
“Then why are you getting married today?”
“The late emperor passed away three years ago. Today, I am pure filial piety, saying that I must maintain full filial piety for the late emperor before we can get married.”
“Dad, the emperor wants to marry Mr. Ye Ge’s grandson, then won’t he have to call Mr. Ye Ge ‘grandpa’ from now on?” The childish voice asked again.
No one answered him this time, and his father directly covered his mouth.
The little **** raised his hand, and the coins fell like rain. A few people ignored the conversation and squatted down to pick up the money.
***
Ye Mansion is very happy today, with red words of joy posted everywhere and red flowers and red silk hanging. Everyone’s face is a bit happy, except for one person.
Ye Zhenzhen looked at herself in the mirror with a dull face. The mirror was bought from Franji Man at a huge price. It was smooth and bright, and could reveal every detail of a person’s face. This was the first time Ye Zhenzhen discovered that she looked like this.
A duck-oval face, red lips and white teeth, a small and straight bridge of the nose, which makes the facial features particularly profound and energetic; a pair of red and phoenix eyes, with clear black and white, looking forward to the sky, the corners of the eyes are slightly raised, showing a sense of majesty when not smiling; slender and tall The raised eyebrows complemented the eyes, but the eyebrows were slightly raised at this time, as if full of displeasure.
Although the makeup was grand, it matched Ye Zhenzhen’s delicate and majestic facial features, which made people feel a sense of awe, but they didn’t know if the emperor would like this taste.
Xiniang finally pulled the corners of Ye Zhenzhen’s clothes and straightened her phoenix crown. After confirming that everything was correct, she helped her up and said, “Miss, the Holy Envoy is coming soon. Please accept the canonization first.”
Ye Zhenzhen didn’t answer and let her lead as instructed.
Seeing Ye Zhenzhen kneel down and receive the Queen’s golden book and seal, Xi Niang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the end was finally done. Now, no matter how unwilling she was, the young lady was truly the Queen. It’s strange to say that it is a great honor for someone else to be a queen. If you want to seek it, you have to cultivate blessings for several lifetimes. Why is it that your own lady is not happy? Fortunately, the young lady is the most well-behaved and smart in front of the great master, and she makes him laugh almost every day. However, because of this incident, the grandfather and grandson had several quarrels, which could not be settled. The master and the three young masters took turns to be peacemakers. , it doesn’t work either. Fortunately, the younger one couldn’t fight against the older one, so the young lady finally gave in.
Not long after receiving the seal, it is an auspicious time. After Ye Zhenzhen was helped onto the gleaming golden ceremonial carriage, the wedding procession started again. When they returned, there was a string of long tails, which were Ye Zhenzhen’s dowry. They were carried out like flowing water, covering the entire On Changning Street, all the viewers were speechless.
Regardless of whether the person involved is happy or not, Mr. Ye Ge will let his precious granddaughter marry with great splendor no matter what.
Ye Zhenzhen sat in the ceremonial chair, recalling in her mind her grandfather’s highest instruction to her: not to be deposed.
She rubbed her neck, which was sore from the pressure of the phoenix crown, and thought to herself, Grandpa, you really understand me very well.
But since you know me so well, why do you have to push me into the palace that eats people without spitting out their bones?
Thinking about her future husband-in-law, Ye Zhenzhen felt even more headache. No matter from any aspect, the emperor was not Ye Zhenzhen’s ideal husband candidate.
The status of women in the Da Qi Dynasty was much higher than that of previous generations, and women had certain freedoms in choosing a son-in-law. Ye Zhenzhen came from a famous family. Her grandfather was a veteran of three dynasties and the emperor’s teacher. She had disciples and former officials all over the government and the public. Her father worked in the Ministry of Civil Affairs and would join the cabinet in the future if nothing unexpected happened. Therefore, apart from the princess, there is probably no other girl in the world who has a nobler background than Ye Zhenzhen. With such a supportive family, what kind of man would Ye Zhenzhen want to choose? But no matter who she chooses, it will definitely not be the emperor. She has been spoiled by others, and it would be best if she could be pampered and pampered when she comes to her husband’s house. Of course, the most important thing is that the husband cannot ask for a little wife. The emperor could not do any of the above.
What’s more, the emperor has disliked the Ye family since he ascended the throne. One is a veteran minister who has the most power in the world, and the other is an ambitious new emperor. There is an undercurrent of power struggle in the court. The emperor’s current foundation is not stable and he cannot move the Ye family, but it does not mean that he will not move the Ye family in the future. Even though she is as beautiful as a flower now, when the emperor settles accounts with the Ye family, she will probably be the first to be targeted as the queen.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her prospects were bleak. Ye Zhenzhen had no choice but to stop her thoughts and doze off while holding her chin. She was picked up and dressed before dawn in the morning. This complex and heavy outfit made her exhausted, and she was indeed sleepy now.
She fell asleep in Kunning Palace, and seemed to pause at Qianqing Gate, but she did not wake up. She was still stunned when she was helped into the bedroom.
So when Ji Wu Jiu walked into the bedroom, he saw Ye Zhen Zhen yawning loudly.
Ji Wu Jiu’s already gloomy face turned even darker. This kind of demeanor is not worthy of being a queen. That old guy Ye Xiu Ming is really good at it.
After yawning, Ye Zhenzhen saw Ji Wu Jiu. She stood up slowly and saluted him, “See your Majesty.”
“Queen, no courtesy.” Although disgust almost crawled onto his face, he still had to say what he needed to say. After saying this, Ji Wu Jiu sat down.
The flames of the golden dragon and phoenix in auspicious red candles danced gently, reflecting the faces of the two. One was like a beautiful jade, the other was like a delicate flower. What a perfect pair.
The eyes of this beautiful pair met, and they both turned away, looking at each other with disgust.
Ye Zhenzhen poured herself a glass of wine. It is said that the bridal chamber will be very painful, so she plans to drink more wine to numb herself. It is best to be drunk and unconscious, so that she probably won’t feel the pain.
But as soon as she took a sip, she found Ji Wu Jiu staring at her. Ye Zhenzhen was a little embarrassed, “Are you drinking?” She put down the wine glass and picked up the wine flask to fill it up for him. She thought to herself that she was too anxious just now and should have poured the wine for the emperor first. Just because he didn’t like him, he ignored him.
However, Ji Wu Jiu stopped her movement. He picked up the glass of wine she had drank and drank it all.
“…” Ye Zhenzhen finally remembered what she had really overlooked, the wine! On the wedding night, the couple should drink Hexin wine. Xi Niang had told her about this, but the process of getting married was too cumbersome, so it is understandable that she omitted a few things… right?
After Ji Wu Jiu finished the glass of wine, he filled up his own glass, took a sip himself, and then handed it to Ye Zhen Zhen.
Ye Zhenzhen took it reluctantly and killed it with a look of disgust.
Ji Wu Jiu snorted coldly.
After drinking Hexin wine, the next thing to do is more embarrassing. Ji Wu Jiu bravely carried Ye Zhen Zhen to bed and undressed her. But with Ye Zhenzhen looking at her like, “You shameless pervert, you’re such a shameless pervert,” he really couldn’t arouse any interest.
“Close your eyes.” Ji Wu Jiu ordered.
Closing his eyes tightly and staring at death still made him lose his appetite.
Fortunately, Ye Zhenzhen was pretty enough. After closing her eyes, her usual majesty was gone, but she also looked a bit pitiful.
Moreover…the figure is good and the hand feels good…
So Ji Wu Jiu finally felt something.
Up to this point, this love affair can barely be considered harmonious.
But then, Ye Zhenzhen suddenly felt a tearing pain under her body. Before her mind could think about it, her body reacted first and raised her foot to kick the person who caused the pain.
Bang!
Ji Wu Jiu was sitting on the ground, the sexual desire on his face had not yet receded, and there was a rare hint of confusion in his eyes.
In fact, Ji Wu Jiu has been taught by famous teachers since he was a child, and he is good at both civil and military skills. If he was attacked by someone with Ye Zhen Zhen’s skill in normal times, he could easily dodge it, but he was just concentrating on doing that kind of thing…
“Presumptuous!” Ji Wu Jiu quickly reacted and looked at Ye Zhen Zhen with a stern face. Even though he was used to pretending to be paralyzed, he couldn’t completely suppress his anger at this time. His chest heaved violently, as if he could spit out fire in the next step.
Ye Zhenzhen knelt on the bed, trying to make her expression sincere, “I was reckless for a moment and had no intention of offending the dragon body. Please punish me!”
Punishment, how to punish? This crime may be serious or minor, depending on the emperor’s attitude. But punishing the queen heavily on the first day of the wedding was equivalent to slapping Ye Xiu Ming in the face – he really wanted to, but now was not the time.
What’s more, when a wife kicks her husband out of bed on their wedding night, it makes such a big deal. Isn’t the husband’s face very bright…
So Ji Wu Jiu looked at Ye Zhen Zhen with a hint of confusion.
At this time, a cautious “Your Majesty” from outside rescued the emperor and empress from the strange atmosphere.
The speaker was Ji Wu Jiu’s personal **** Feng Youde, who had served him since he was the crown prince and had been with him for more than ten years.
“What happened.”
“Your Majesty, just now the **** from Luhua Palace came to report that Concubine Li accidentally fell and was seriously injured.”
Ji Wu Jiu took a long breath, and the bad breath that was stuck in his chest finally dissipated, “Show off to Luhua Palace.”
“According to the decree.”
Ji Wu Jiu walked to the door of the bedroom and accidentally looked back at Ye Zhen Zhen on the bed and found that she was covering her mouth and letting out a long yawn.
