Yu Qingyao lay on the phoenix bed, rolling around in annoyance.
She is not willing to marry a little liar like this, even if it is to become a queen.
After becoming a queen, how can she go out and hook up with handsome guys? It is difficult to leave the palace again. According to the emperor's jealousy, he might not let her see any man again.
When you become a queen, you are not pure, and many men will not fall in love with her.
This principle is the same as female stars who refuse to get married. Let alone married female stars, they will lose their fans when rumors of their romances spread.
Yu Qingyao couldn't accept this result.
The next day, Yu Qingyao got up early.
She who likes to sleep for beauty sleep would get up so early, naturally because this is in the palace. She likes to sleep in, but pays more attention to her image. There are many people in the palace, and rumors spread the fastest. She doesn't want to spread rumors that she is a slob.
The court lady Qiudie who was sleeping on the small couch next to Feng's bed woke up suddenly, and said loudly with a smile, "Fairy Yu, get up!"
Yu Qingyao nodded with a smile.
Qiu Die's voice immediately alarmed the maids and eunuchs outside. Qiu Die spoke loudly, and the purpose was the same.
Yu Qingyao freshened up under the service of the maids. The maids are arranged according to the specifications of the queen, and they also serve Yu Qingyao according to the rules of serving the queen.
Although Yu Qingyao often went in and out of the prince's house, she had never received such treatment. She was a little uncomfortable, but also a little curious.
There are many rules in the Wu Palace, but luckily the ladies in the palace have been instructed, knowing that this is a Taoist priest and don't know much about the rules in the palace, so they will explain and explain everything in advance.
Qiu Die brought four sets of gorgeous and exquisite palace costumes, and brought twelve sets of jewelry to her head, and asked carefully: "Fairy Yu, which outfit do you want to wear today?"
Yu Qingyao turned her head to look, the clothes were extremely beautiful, each piece was painted with dragons and phoenixes, but only queens could wear them. The twelve sets of head and face jewelry are almost all in the shape of phoenix.
She was a little confused, what do you mean, this is not enough to be a queen
She got up and looked carefully at the clothes and jewelry, and asked with a smile, "Is this given to me by Qingde? You're so polite, I'm even embarrassed."
Qiu Die laughed and said: "This is all the emperor's kindness. The emperor is rich in the world. These clothes are nothing, so you can accept them!"
A few palace maids around laughed and persuaded Fairy Yu to accept it.
Yu Qingyao smiled and listened for a while, then pretended to be persuaded by them, and chose a set of the most plain dresses to change into. As for the jewelry, I picked three elegant ones without phoenix patterns.
Logically speaking, since you don't want to be a queen, you should sternly reject these clothes and jewelry to show your position.
Yu Qingyao was trapped in the enemy's camp, so she lacked courage, she had already refused once yesterday, and if she made a big fuss over such a trivial matter, she was afraid that Tianlongguan would become angry from embarrassment.
Her character doesn't like to fight head-on, but prefers to overcome strength with softness.
She pretended not to know the tentative meaning of Tianlong Guan's sending these clothes, and accepted them with a smile.
The makeup in the palace has always been bright, and Yu Qingyao only wears light makeup all the year round in order to pretend to be pure.
After washing and dressing up, Yu Qingyao looked at herself in the mirror, feeling a little lost.
The maids were all a little dumbfounded.
Against the backdrop of the gorgeous silver-white phoenix robe, Yu Qingyao is unparalleled in beauty and looks compelling. Dignified and intimidating, there is also an otherworldly fairy air, and because of the study of poetry and prose for a year, there is an extra gentle and bookish air.
The maids thought to themselves, no wonder the emperor likes her. We are women, and we can't help but feel a little bit of admiration for her.
Under the service of the maids, Yu Qingyao pretended to be ignorant and enjoyed the queen's breakfast.
Li Huaide went to court early, but he couldn't come to see his junior sister.
Yu Qingyao had nothing to do, so she went to wander around the palace.
She wouldn't hide in the room alone and cry miserably.
Naturally, the maids and eunuchs would not restrain her, but followed her closely. The Taoist priests watching her naturally followed closely behind.
The news about Yu Qingyao spread throughout the palace last night. Everyone in the palace knew that she would soon be the Queen of Wu. The court ladies and eunuchs and the imperial guards who met along the way all knelt down and saluted her. It made Yu Qingyao a little embarrassed.
Elder Wang had been monitoring Yu Qingyao's movements last night, for fear that she would naively break out of the palace.
Although he was sure that Yu Qingyao would not be able to escape, everyone in the palace would know if there was a disturbance. The future queen wants to escape from the palace, and it would be a joke to spread the word.
The night passed safely, and Elder Wang heaved a sigh of relief. He couldn't help laughing when the Taoist reported that Yu Qingyao was playing around the palace wearing a palace skirt with the empress's logo clearly on it.
A smile appeared on Xu Guanzhu's face, and said: "Yu Qingyao is still aware of current affairs."
Elder Wang smiled and said, "That's right, she's just a casual cultivator, so it would be great to be the Empress of Wu. Emperor Wu is young and heroic, and I don't know how many maiden crowns she can ask for. She just couldn't think about it last night. .”
Xu Guanzhu smiled and said: "People who seek the truth say that she is exquisite in all aspects and is the best at communicating with people. No matter high-ranking officials, dignitaries, peasants and beggars, she can talk. People who have dealt with her all praise her very much. However, No one said she had courage."
Elder Wang said disapprovingly, "Woman! This is normal."
Xu Guanzhu said with a smile: "It's fine if she doesn't dare to resist openly. Just like today, let the people around her say more good things about the emperor, persuade her more, and soften her a little bit. At the same time, hurry up and prepare for the ceremony of conferring the empress. .”
The emperor's wedding is unusual, with complicated etiquette. Generally speaking, no matter how fast it is, it won't work out in a year or so.
Xu Guanzhu instructed that it must be completed within one month, the sooner the better, and some less important ceremonies were omitted.
The most wonderful thing is that Yu Qingyao has no parents above and no brothers below. She traveled here alone, Wu Guo has no relatives or friends. This saves a lot of work.
Xu Guanzhu said one month, because he had to get married before the end of the year. In addition, in one month, even if Chu State had an expeditionary force, it might not be able to make it. This is to get the marriage done before the Chu family comes.
Li Huaide knew this well, and he felt uneasy, on the one hand he was looking forward to marrying his junior sister, but on the other hand he was afraid that his junior sister would get angry. Xu Guanzhu told him not to meet Yu Qingyao for the time being.
On this day, the news of the emperor's upcoming wedding has spread from the Wu Palace.
Of course, this matter was obviously hidden from Yu Qingyao. But Yu Qingyao has actually seen it.
Because the entire Wu Palace is busy preparing for the post-book ceremony, and every place is being rearranged and decorated with lights and festoons. The maids and eunuchs were all wearing new clothes, running around happily.
The place where she lives is obviously decorating the wedding room. From time to time, people ask her for advice, how big the bed should be, do you like this kind of fabric, what kind of flowers do you want to grow in the garden, this antique is placed here No way, things like that.
Yu Qingyao had a headache. She found out that now the people in Tianlongguan no longer asked her if she agreed to marry. As soon as she agreed, she began to enter the wedding mode.
