In fact, no matter according to Emperor Chongheng's plan or the intention of the Supreme Emperor, he originally did not want to delay the ceremony of crown prince for so long - the latter was of course eager to see his grandson be crowned prince.
But there was no way. Two days before Xin Fubing came back, when the imperial doctor asked Qiu Yilan to have a safe pulse, he found that she was pregnant again.
Considering the complexity of the ceremony and the fact that Qiu Yilan had already passed the age of 18, even though she had given birth to five children, it was still better to be careful.
Although the Supreme Emperor was wary of the Qiu family, he would not deliberately harass his daughter-in-law who was pregnant with his legitimate grandson or granddaughter, so after hearing Emperor Chongheng's explanation, he said nothing more and followed the example to reward the things.
It's just that although Emperor Chongheng was very considerate of his wife, he even placed the ceremony after his wife gave birth. But Qiu Yilan was still extremely busy throughout her pregnancy!
There is no other reason. After Chu Yitong passed away, King Hui has not continued his marriage until now. Although his backyard has basically been replaced with new blood in the past few years, there is no serious mistress after all, and Aunt Gu is not even qualified to raise his legitimate son. , let alone arrange the marriage of the legitimate son.
So King Hui confidently entrusted Jiang Jingkun's lifelong affairs to his sister-in-law!
With King Yi Hui's status in front of the Supreme Emperor and Emperor Chongheng, he had great hopes of being hereditary. The reason why I haven't mentioned it until now is that the Supreme Emperor intends to leave it to Emperor Chongheng to show his favor, and Emperor Chongheng has just ascended the throne and has not yet found a reason to favor his brother.
Of course, maybe he would leave his son Jiang Jinglang to be this good man, but Prince Hui will benefit from the Tian family when he takes over the title, that's for sure!
Even if not, King Hui is the king of the county when he attacks - the position of the princess of the county is also very honorable, okay
Considering Jiang Jingkun's age, people were already prepared to ask someone to intercede with Qiu Yilan and try to push the pretty girl towards her. Now that Qiu Yilan is pregnant, it is really great: in addition to the regular greetings, visits, congratulations, food and drinks, maintenance prescriptions, and various supplies for the unborn little princess or prince. Supplies... There are suddenly a lot more reasons to request an audience!
Due to Xin Fubing's return and Chu Weitong's willingness to occasionally enter the palace, Qiu Yilan was still immersed in the atmosphere of reunion with old friends at first, but after a few times she felt something was wrong: "They said it was because I was pregnant, so they came to visit me specially. But. Why is it that every time we come, the topic always turns to the pretty girl accompanying us? "
She hadn't officially announced that she was going to pick someone for Jiang Jingkun at this time, so she didn't expect that these people were targeting her nephew. Instead, she began to reflect, "My father tried to find someone for me, but it didn't work. At that time, I was pregnant with him." What about pregnancy? Do these people actually think they can do something that even my father has not done? Or am I suddenly looking easy to bully?"
"That's what you said! Now you look like the elder sister of those little girls. Who dares to make such crooked ideas?" The palace servants couldn't laugh or cry when they heard this, and reminded tactfully, "If you want to say this, you can only blame me. You have raised Prince Hui so well, not to mention his identity, but just his talent and conversation. Which girl wouldn’t dream of having such a husband? Look at how many elders have been bringing you to see her these days. Your little girl, who doesn’t turn around every step of the way? If they weren’t taught by everyone, they would have rushed to you crying and begging to enter Prince Hui’s Mansion!”
"That's nonsense! I think those kids are pretty good! How can they be as ungrateful as your arrangement?" Qiu Yilan finally realized that she was so embarrassed that she quickly changed the topic to cover up, "It's just that there are so many people, but the wife of an imperial family is There can only be one person, and I don’t know who to choose—should I call An’er over and ask him?”
The palace people held back their laughter while passing on the message: Well, you know that bringing a beautiful girl into the palace to show her is not just to persuade her to take her into the harem. Soon these people will become "good and decent children"!
After a while, Jiang Jingkun was called over. This child was born with a cheerful and outgoing personality. Because he was not the heir of Da Qin, his nature had never been suppressed. Now that he was planning to get married, it was still the same. So after he came here, his aunt told him in person that he should choose a wife he would like. He was not shy and said with a smile: "She must be filial! From now on, I will be filial to you and my uncle together with my nephew." Father!"
"The most important thing is that you like it!" Qiu Yilan was elated when she heard this, and happily warned, "The girls chosen for you must be everyone's daughters. If you are not filial and ignorant, I won't dare to expect you! So as long as you choose It’s whatever you like!”
As they talked, they made arrangements for him. Banquets were held one after another in the East Palace to entertain the ladies from all over the capital who were qualified to marry into the royal family. The poor Princess Wu'an—the former Shouguang Princess Jiang Huiying—as The only daughter of Emperor Chongheng and Qiu Yilan, before the eldest sister-in-law appeared, she had to frequently entertain waves of potential cousin-in-law candidates on behalf of her mother, who was pregnant and unfit for work!
And Jiang Jingkun couldn't be idle. He looked at many girls in a small building in the garden behind a screen. Finally, he went to Qiu Yilan with a sad face to complain: "My nephew looks pretty good, but I really have to decide which one to choose." , my nephew can’t say it!”
"That's because I haven't seen the one I really like yet!" Qiu Yilan comforted him clearly, "You are a boy anyway, so there is no rush - just keep looking at it, you will definitely choose someone you can marry happily, and It’s not like you marry this person and then look around and think it doesn’t matter if you change her!”
Although Jiang Jingkun's appearance and identity are enough for him to hug him, Qiu Yilan doesn't want to grow up with King Hui No. 2 in front of him!
Jiang Jingkun is simply not like his biological father. If his biological father had this opportunity to see beautiful girls every day, he probably would not give up until he saw all the candidates. In the end, he would definitely want them all. He fell down several times. Feeling a bit overwhelmed, she said politely: "What my aunt said is true, but we should discuss this matter some time later, right? First of all, my aunt is pregnant and should not work hard. The twenty-third sister is not as old as her nephew, so she always wants her to give My nephew is very busy, and he feels uneasy. Secondly, he keeps coming to the East Palace these days, and he is falling behind in his homework. If he fails the examination later, he must teach him a lesson!"
"That's alright. I'll ask your uncle about your homework progress later, and I'll choose a few suitable times for you and then ask your twenty-third sister to arrange it! You don't have to worry about delaying Yinger, she's free anyway. ! "Although Jiang Jingkun was sent back to live in Prince Hui's Mansion at the request of the Supreme Emperor, with the permission of the Supreme Emperor, he basically had to go to the East Palace every other day. In terms of homework, he was treated the same as the would-be prince Jiang Jinglang. If he slacked off a little, Emperor Chongheng would treat his nephew as if he were his own son!
So when Qiu Yilan heard him mention his homework, he simply let him go - Jiang Jingkun didn't take too long to decide on the candidate for the prince's wife. Speaking of the person he picked, not only did everyone in Beijing feel frustrated, but Qiu Yilan also felt that the previous meeting was a complete waste of everyone's time.
Because the last person Jiang Jingkun told her was his direct cousin: Qiu Yejiao, the eldest daughter of Princess Fuqing Jiang Qizheng.
Although in Qiu Yilan's previous life, there were various disadvantages to getting married between cousins. However, this is the current trend. Prince Dun's wife, Xiao Dou, married her direct cousin, Princess Shen Guo, and Shui Jin still married her direct cousin. Shouldn't they have children and live the same life
What's more, the probability of cousins getting married and giving birth to children with defects is actually not that high, and according to the rule that as the probability of defects increases, the probability of geniuses also increases accordingly... In short, since the ancients had a long time ago, "men and women with the same surname will not be born together" Concept, if the harm of marrying cousins was really obvious enough to have a huge impact, they would definitely have stopped doing it a long time ago.
Therefore, Prince Hui's Mansion and Princess Fuqing were both happy to see this marriage come to fruition. Emperor Chongheng thought it was good and the Supreme Emperor had no objections. Qiu Yilan did not say that it was not good for her cousins to get married. After all, it was all in vain. There was no trouble - the marriage was settled.
After finishing Jiang Jingkun's job with Princess Fuqing, Qiu Yilan could finally take a breath and concentrate on raising the baby - how strange!
For those who are interested in marrying the royal family this year, Crown Prince Hui is just an appetizer!
The future prince Jiang Jinglang, that’s the main event, okay? !
Therefore, the people who had not been chosen as Prince Hui's wife had the feeling of "losing something in the east and reaping the mulberry elm in the east", so they pushed their daughter toward Qiu Qiu Yilan even harder!
Not only these people, many families either have outstanding daughters or have clear goals. In short, when Jiang Jingkun selected people, they didn't respond at all.
Now that Jiang Jingkun's marriage was confirmed, it was finally Jiang Jinglang's turn, and they took action boldly - Qiu Yilan felt that she had simply fallen into the flowers: from morning to night every day, they almost lined up to see the beauties!
"Lang'er, go and see for yourself!" Although she valued her eldest daughter-in-law very much, she couldn't bear the situation and had to bring her son along to worry about it. "Your fourteenth brother chose this on his own before - shouldn't this be the case?" Are you more concerned about it? Don’t let Wei Niang look around all the time. You can’t be sure what kind of Wei Niang you like!”
Jiang Jinglang's nature is also very naughty, but he was born as the eldest son, and he was the favorite candidate for the crown prince by his emperor's grandfather, so he has been taken by the Supreme Emperor to train him since a few years ago, and he is restrained by the crown prince's requirements every day. It’s difficult to be steady.
Fortunately, in front of his mother, he could still maintain some of the narrow-minded and lively life of his childhood. Now he would lie on Qiu Yilan's lap and pretend to be dead: "My parents have the final say in matters of marriage. Mother and concubine, you can choose whoever is best for you." , can you still not choose a good one for your child?”
Qiu Yilan hasn't been formally ordained yet, so he can't call her Queen yet.
"You may not like what my mother likes!" Qiu Yilan didn't want her son-in-law to be a resentful couple. Of course, the two of them saw each other and made the engagement! At this moment, he kept pushing his son, "Get up! Isn't it because you were punished by your father to copy the book several times? It's not like you have never been punished like this. As for being so tired? Stop being lazy and get up and look at the portrait. ! After taking a fancy to the portrait, I will arrange for you to see the real person secretly!"
When Jiang Jinglang heard this, he cried out aggrievedly: "Mother! How can you say that you just copied the book several times?! The child is..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a calm and authoritative voice coming from behind him, snorting heavily: "But what?! Do you have a strong opinion on the punishment of being a father?!"
"No, no!" Jiang Jinglang was suddenly excited and quickly apologized - originally he was lying on Qiu Yilan's lap to rest, but now he got up and flattered his mother by squeezing and rubbing her knees, hoping to cover up the situation. He looked like he had just lost his manners, and when Chongheng, who had an unkind expression on his face, walked up to him with his hands behind his hands, he stopped and stood up, and cautiously said, "Father, are you here?"
"Have you finished your homework?!" Emperor Chongheng glared at him fiercely, but when Qiu Yilan winked, he didn't say anything, he just hummed, "I won't be able to take it out for an afternoon, you know the consequences!"
Jiang Jinglang glanced at his mother from the corner of his eye. Seeing that Qiu Yilan had no intention of continuing to help, he sighed secretly and said weakly: "My child, just do it now!"
After he left, Qiu Yilan picked up the round fan at hand and slapped her husband coquettishly: "This child has had high hopes since he was a child. His lively and lively personality has been trained to become a young adult. It's rare for him to be here." Show your sincerity, why do you have to drive him away? I'm talking to him about something serious!"
"How can he be as busy as me no matter how busy he is?" Emperor Chongheng felt very dissatisfied. He sat down next to his wife and took the fan in her hand to fan the two of them. He said dissatisfiedly, "It's rare that I take the time to come over and take a look." Look at you and your child, what kind of fun is he doing here! He just left in time, otherwise you can see: if he doesn’t double his homework and finish it by noon, see how I deal with him!”
Qiu Yilan laughed so much that she fell down. She pointed at her husband's forehead with a delicate finger: "Is there a father like you? You are cheating your own son!"
"This is also teaching him! He can't even look at his eyes. Once he enters the East Palace, any naughty slave can coax him into running around!" Emperor Chongheng said boldly, "Besides, asking him to do more homework is also good for him, love. What a profound responsibility!”
"I think you just want to take the blame seriously, and then use the depth of your love as an excuse!" Qiu Yilan said angrily, "Don't give him any more homework! Otherwise, I'll tire him out and I won't be done with you!"
Emperor Chongheng smiled and agreed, then asked her: "What serious things did you tell Lang'er just now?"
"After An'er and Ye Jiao have made an agreement, won't it be his turn?" Qiu Yilan said, "After all, Ba Ge didn't entrust me with the matter of Jing Li and Jing Rui. I think he should have made his own arrangements - of course, he will then give Lang'er thought about it. Before you came, I was asking him what he liked."
Jiang Jingli and Jiang Jingrui are the fifteenth or sixteenth among the Jiang family's grandchildren, just after Jiang Jingkun and before Jiang Jinglang. These were also twins, but unfortunately they were not lucky enough to be born into the belly of An Zhenshang, who had a hand in forcing little Tao to death. Therefore, they were far less favored and attracted attention than the twins Qiu Yilan gave birth to, and they were simply unknown over the years.
Jiang Jingkun has always been fostered by his uncle and aunt, and he is generally not close to his half-brothers and sisters. When he grew up, he heard people tell about the past, and he didn't like his two brothers even more. I don't know whether it was because of his legitimate son's feelings, or because King Hui went crazy and forgot to take care of his children again. Anyway, he didn't mention the marriage of these two legitimate sons to Qiu Yilan.
He didn't mention it, and Qiu Yilan didn't plan to tell him after thinking about it.
After all, she has never asked her to raise these twins. They are still boys. There is a biological father who makes the decision. She has enough things to do on her own, and she doesn’t need to cause any more trouble. The most important thing is that she has a relationship with the little Tao mother and son. I put my feelings aside, and I don't want to express my anger towards the twins, but I really can't think of taking care of them.
So after finishing her business with Jiang Jingkun, she immediately considered her daughter-in-law!
At this time, Emperor Chongheng listened to her words and did not mention Jiang Jingli or Jiang Jingrui. He had too many nephews. Not to mention others, he only mentioned Qiu Yilan's son Jiang Jingyao, who was born in July of the fourth year of Jianjia. His ranking was already 20. Seven, his sons only account for four of the rankings, which means that he has twenty-three nephews who are older than Jiang Jingyao alone!
I can’t take care of it at all!
Besides, with his and Qiu Yilan's current status, it doesn't mean that they can directly take care of whoever they want. Even if they don't do it with political meaning in their hearts, it's different in the eyes of others!
Emperor Chongheng and his wife did not interfere with the marriage of Jiang Jingkun's elder brother and sister, but brothers Jiang Jingli and Jiang Jingrui were questioned and word spread. People thought that Jiang Jingkun had offended his uncle and aunt and was beaten! In the long run, maybe no one can imagine whether Prince Hui will be replaced!
Therefore, Emperor Chongheng just smiled slightly: "He hasn't tied his hair yet, so what's the hurry? His temperament hasn't been decided yet! Even if he chooses what he likes now, what if he changes his mind in two years?" His voice became softer, "Especially when you are pregnant - I deliberately delayed the ceremony for so long so that you could have a good pregnancy! You see, you are still disturbed by them! I think I'd better give those people a beating and let them Wait until you have a rest before mentioning this matter after the ceremony, are we still worried about not having the Crown Princess?"
Qiu Yilan frowned when she heard this: "You changed your gender after two years? Why didn't you say this earlier? An'er just hired Jiao'er!" These two families are all relatives, serious cousins! And they all come from respectable families. If the arranged marriage changes two years later, I really don’t know how to deal with this situation? !
"An'er and Jiao'er are different - these two children are direct cousins and have seen each other since they were children." Emperor Chongheng disagreed, "We know each other well. Before An'er was settled, you arranged to see many people. In the end, he still wanted to Jiao'er, it shows that he really likes Jiao'er, but Lang'er didn't say which girl he wanted to play with since he was a kid. Obviously, he only treats those girls as sisters, since he chose them from people he didn't know. , I think it’s better to let him grow up a little bit!”
Having said this, the emperor, who was in his prime, had a twinkle in his eyebrows, smiled softly, and held his wife's hand with nostalgia, "When I met you back then, you were fifteen and almost sixteen years old, and Lang'er was just Fourteen, so what if I wait another year?”
"You remember how old we were when we first met. Why don't you remember that it was windy and snowy at that time?" Qiu Yilan was brought back by his words, and she said with a hint of anger and a smile, "Back then, you said that the grand ceremony must be If you set a special time, I would choose the end of the year or the first month of the year! It doesn’t matter if you choose March when the pear blossoms bloom!”
Even if calculated based on the date of marriage, they will get married in April, okay? This March is not the birthday of two people, nor is it a day for acquaintance, marriage, or romance. Qiu Yilan really doesn't know what he is doing in March? Is it just because the weather in March is nice and the flowers bloom more
"Why does this day have nothing to do with it? The relationship is huge!" Emperor Chongheng looked at her meaningfully when he heard this. When Qiu Yilan curiously raked his hair at the temples and pretended to listen carefully, he laughed. He smiled, pinched her cheek with his fingers, and said proudly, "But I won't tell you now!"
"You're looking for a fight!!!" Qiu Yilan scolded, she picked up a pink fist and started beating it - who would have thought that she was only halfway through the beating when the cry of their youngest son Jiang Jingyao suddenly came from outside the hall!
"Yao'er?!" The couple immediately ignored the fight and looked outside in shock, "What's wrong with you?!"
They saw Jiang Jingyao, who was only four years old, crying with tears and runny nose. He threw away his sister Jiang Huiying who was holding him and stumbled towards his parents. Emperor Chongheng hurriedly stepped forward to welcome his son and hugged him, coaxing him. He asked his daughter, "What's wrong with Yao'er? When I came over just now, I saw you playing with him, but did you bump into him?"
Jiang Huiying said blankly: "My daughter just brought him back to the palace, and he started crying when she got here. He..."
Before the elder sister had finished explaining what had happened, the couple already knew why their youngest son was crying—Jiang Jingyao waved her fists and greeted Emperor Chongheng in an unceremonious manner, crying and shouting in a milky voice: "Father is bad! Father is bad! Beat father! Sister, come and beat father!"
Qiu Yilan and Jiang Huiying were stunned for a while, and the unscrupulous mother and daughter suddenly burst into laughter!
The servants all around also hunched their shoulders and turned around, trying their best to resist the urge to laugh wildly. The dark-faced Emperor Chongheng hugged his youngest son away angrily to avoid being beaten again, and asked unwillingly: "It is obviously your mother who is beating the father." , why do you think your father is a bad person?”
He was so unjust, okay! ! !
As a result, Jiang Jingyao answered confidently: "Mother and concubine said, beat the father!"
"... As a father, I don't take you less to play! I don't accompany you less! I don't love you less!?" Emperor Chongheng watched speechlessly as he was still crying and wanting to help his own mother spank his penis. My son felt that his father's heart was like a piece of glass that fell to the ground, so shattered that he said, "As a father, I am a bit strict with your eldest brother, but what's wrong with this little guy like you?! "
The conscience of heaven and earth, he is very generous to his children except the eldest son, okay
Especially this young son who has not yet reached the age of enlightenment, he is basically a darling who only gets used to it and has no control over it!
The wife, on the other hand, feels that the eldest son is suffering all kinds of hardships, but the one who hurts the most is the eldest son!
Why is this little son now treating his mother's words as an imperial edict? His father, who speaks seriously and speaks an edict, has been beaten. How can this brat turn a blind eye and try to distract his mother? !
His tragedy was not over yet—Jiang Jingyao had been taken out by his sister to play outside before he came back tired. Of course, his physical strength was also poor. After crying like this, he immediately felt uncomfortable. He choked first and then started crying. The shouts became fainter - the couple already had experience raising children at this age, especially the twin brothers above Jiang Jingyao, Jiang Jingjue and Jiang Jingxuan, who had been sick all along. The parents had already accumulated enough experience with those two sons. , she knew at first glance that something was wrong. Qiu Yilan hurriedly stepped forward to take him and put him on the couch, urging people to call the imperial doctor!
After the imperial doctor arrived, he diagnosed that the child was fine, just a little excited and physically exhausted. There is no need to take medicine, just sleep and you will be fine.
But after the imperial doctor left, Qiu Yilan exploded!
She held Emperor Chongheng's ears and roared with a ferocious expression: "Son, listen to me, do you have any objections?!"
"...No!" Emperor Chongheng couldn't help but glance at his daughter from the corner of his eye. Jiang Huiying pouted and looked at his brother, not noticing his father's eyes at all!
"He's so young, why did he hit you so many times?! Are you made of tofu and can't be touched?!"
"...I was wrong!" Emperor Chongheng weakly began to admit his mistakes and apologize to his wife. He took the time to glare at his daughter who was still muttering about his brother's situation, and secretly said: "I said I would teach these unfilial children to know how to read eyes! Look at them all. It’s time for me, the father, to be punished, but you can’t help but don’t leave immediately! Isn’t this meant to make me, the father, unable to step down?”
I don't know if she noticed the roar in his heart, but Jiang Huiying finally noticed the situation between her parents. But instead of coming to rescue her father immediately, she asked her mother in confusion: "Mother concubine! Daughter, look. Except for ordinary times, you either hit or scolded my father..."
After hearing this, Emperor Chongheng was very pleased: "Sure enough, the daughter is the little cotton-padded jacket of her parents. No, she started to complain that her mother was too rude to her father!"
Then she felt that there was a fly in the ointment, "But my daughter! You are not very good at persuading your mother. Aren't you afraid of angering her by telling the truth? When the time comes, she won't be able to bear to do anything to you as her own flesh and blood, and she might want to take advantage of you as her father." Take it out!"
Of course, Emperor Chongheng made a very generous decision. Even if this happened, he would not care about his daughter. After all, her daughter had good intentions!
but! ! !
Jiang Huiying's next words were not, "It's not good to bully my father so much and be violent," but, "My father is still completely devoted to you. Is it true that good husbands and sons-in-law are made by beating and scolding? Daughters have good temperaments. If you don’t like to beat or scold people, what do you think your daughter will do to the prince-in-law in the future? How about you choose someone who can be obedient and considerate without spanking?”
The little Loli, who combined the beauty of her parents, tilted her head in distress. Her bright black eyes, like purple grapes, were full of curiosity. It could be seen that she really didn't feel sorry for her father, and was really just thinking about herself. s future!
"puff!"
The last blow from his biological daughter was too deep, too cruel, too sudden and too fatal. It pierced Emperor Chongheng's little heart, which a moment ago had been soaked in the warmth of being loved by his daughter. After vomiting blood, Emperor Chongheng couldn't bear it and slapped the case angrily: "You Your brother is not engaged yet, how is it for a girl to speak up about her husband and keep silent about her husband? Go back to your palace and reflect! If you don’t reflect on it, don’t come out!”
This daughter and this little son are all white-eyed wolves! ! !
It’s still a small cotton-padded jacket—it’s almost like a summer cotton-padded jacket!
But Emperor Chongheng's outburst failed to frighten his daughter. Instead, he received her daughter's sympathetic eyes. The next moment, he was suppressed by his wife even more angrily: "Keep your voice down! Did you fall asleep without seeing Yao'er?!"
... All in all, with four sons and one daughter, and Qiu Yilan still carrying a baby in her belly, the couple in their prime years do not have to worry about being lonely.
In particular, all the regrets and sorrows of that year have basically been overcome.
What could not be uncovered, the bleeding stopped and the scab faded with the silent passage of time.
After decay, there will be new life - as long and deep as the sighs about the former are, so joyful and unforgettable are the praises about the latter.
The most fortunate thing is that fireworks are easy to cool down. Even the most profound, intense and heaviest emotions recognized in the world, life and death, love and hate, cannot withstand the passage of time, and are all wiped out by silent changes.
The sorrow and joy derived from this have since become indifferent as winter passes and spring comes, turning into a desolate smile on the lips. In an instant, they are reminded by the wind, flowers, snow and moon flying in front of the court that it is time to let go of the old past. Don’t live up to this moment. What a great time!
... In the midst of family fun, in the twelfth lunar month of this year, the most noble couple in the world finally welcomed their second daughter!
"I hope this child won't be as heartless as her sister!" Emperor Chongheng specially took time out to guard outside the delivery room. He held the newborn with skillful gestures and looked at the infant daughter who was crying with her eyes closed. The corners of his mouth twitched again and again. , praying silently, "With so many children, there is some preference for me as a father, isn't it? I really don't treat them badly!"
When the little princess named "Huiyu" is full moon, it will be the first month of the second year of Chongheng.
After the first lunar month, the pear blossoms bloomed in March - a day personally chosen by Emperor Chongheng, so the grand ceremony was naturally grand.
After a year of preparations, Emperor Chongheng's undisguised favor, and the biological mother of the prospective prince known to both the government and the public, if the ceremony for enthronement was not grand, the national strength of the Qin Dynasty would be questioned.
After a whole day of tedious etiquette, the banquet finally came to an end. On such a grand day, Qiu Yilan had to wear a twelve-tree gold and silver miscellaneous treasure glazed hairpin and a dark green and red five-color Zhai coat. It is easy to wait until "midnight when no one is whispering", but he has no charming or exciting thoughts. He urges the palace people to take off his hairpin and put on his hair, rushes into the bedroom, throws himself on the brocade quilt, and almost falls asleep!
But perhaps because she had a few too many drinks at the banquet, she was not drunk, but woke up near dawn.
When I woke up, I saw that the window of the palace opposite the sleeping couch was open. My husband was only wearing a middle coat, standing in front of the window with his hands behind his hands, quietly looking out at the courtyard outside the window, where a grove of pear blossoms bloomed like the bright moon.
She sat up in a daze, wanting to ask him why he hadn't settled yet, but Emperor Chongheng, who turned his head when he heard the noise, waved her to the window instead - the March wind passed through the forest and entered the palace, bringing the sweetness of pear blossoms. It is fragrant, soft and warm. It is not cold at all when wearing a middle coat. The wind blows through the bottom of the clothes, but there is a tingling and refreshing feeling.
Qiu Yilan put on her silk shoes and walked over. She was pushed to the window by her husband and held on to the window lattice. He leaned behind her, stretched out his arms from his shoulders and hugged her. It seemed that he had just drank a glass of mint dew, and there was a clear trace of emotion between his lips and teeth. Breathing the fresh breath of mint, he held her earlobe in his mouth and asked with a chuckle: "Do you remember last year when I said that I chose you as my queen for this purpose?"
"Huh?" Qiu Yilan, who had just woken up, tilted her head with a confused expression. She thought for a while before remembering, and flattened her mouth in grievance, "Didn't you say you won't tell me?"
"If I want to tell you now, how could I let you know at that time?" Emperor Chongheng smiled proudly and tenderly. The man's slender white fingers held up a few strands of hair that had been blown away by the night wind for her, and placed them between his well-jointed fingers. After walking around in circles, he asked seductively, "When did we first meet?"
"In the twelfth lunar month with heavy wind and snow!" The same answer as last year came out without thinking.
Emperor Chongheng lowered his head lovingly and kissed his wife's cheek, sighing softly: "Yes! It's windy and snowy - but look, does it look like that season now?"
The bright moonlight on a spring night is as bright as pear blossoms, and the pear forest in full bloom in the courtyard is like a moonlight. The flowers and moon complement each other. Looking out from the palace window, the clear light on the ground is like frost and snow on the ground, and the branches are as white as pear blossoms. , how is it not like the Yushu trees in those days when the snow fell on their branches? !
"Of course I remember it was a snowy day when we first met, but every time I think back to your scarred appearance at that time, and knowing that you had just escaped from the avalanche in Mount Dizi, I don't like snowy days."
There was a hint of annoyance and deep pity in the man's clear voice, "So if I want to commemorate our acquaintance, I would rather choose March when the pear blossoms bloom."
"I only hope that my wife will only remember this spring night every year, when the pear blossoms bloomed under the moon, as good as frost or snow. After all, she was gentle and leisurely. She didn't need to add more clothes, just got up on her feet and could enjoy it; no longer protected from the harsh wind and snow, she would look like a beautiful jade tree. The branches are made of pear blossoms!”
People use pear blossoms to imitate snow, which is vivid. But if the beauty in the ice and snow is not surrounded by a fox fur stove, how can you appreciate it in the mood
Moreover, although the ice is a branch and the snow is a flower, although it is proud and noble, it ultimately owes the sweetness and tenderness of the real pear blossom. After the spring light shines, it is destined to melt away and everything becomes empty.
So he chose the season for his wife when the real pear blossoms were in full bloom. This was a time when the wind was gentle and soft, the moon was clear and bright, when the flowers bloomed like a dream and the nights were warm - she didn’t have to dress up, worry about the cold, or recall the two The embarrassment and humiliation of ten years ago did not have to be brought back to those feelings when she was down and out... She didn't have to worry about anything or prepare anything. All she had to do was get down from the couch, walk to the window lattice, and take a look.
On this day, the bright moon blooms like a pear, and in this garden, the pear blooms like a bright moon.
It was a beautiful scenery that he had silently prepared for her. He was stingy about announcing it, being stingy about talking to others, and even being stingy about notifying her in advance. He only invited her to indulge in it in the middle of the night when no one was whispering.
On this day, the bright moon blooms like a pear, and in this garden, the pear blooms like a bright moon.
It is also his promise to her - I know that you have experienced unspeakable wind and frost in the past, and I also know all the sorrows in the years together - but from now on, I am willing to replace the ice and snow with delicate pear blossoms to let you In my life, only the pear blossoms under the bright moonlight on a spring night are as bright as snow, and their blossoms are full of gentle joy and strong expectations.
- But I forgot the coldness and coldness in those years, which were as sharp as a knife. In my arms and my embrace, I parked your trust and years in this life!
Under the poetic and dreamlike moonlight, Qiu Yilan turned her head and looked up at the beautiful eyebrows and eyes of the man behind her in the moonlight. She curled her lips and said, "The pear blossom is white and simple. If you use it to promise me, then I will also use it in the most simple way." If I answer you—"
With the unique simplicity of those words from thousands of years ago and the words that carry the deepest connotations, they are like flowers blooming by themselves in the warmth of spring, and flowers and fruits are born by themselves in autumn. They come naturally to the Tao, "In this life, I wish to hold on to my son." Hands, grow old together!”
It is true that the most profound and intense emotions in the world will eventually fade away but will be blown away by the rain and wind.
But just as the pear blossoms in front of the court fade and bloom again,
If love has taken root,
Why fear the unpredictability of wind and rain, or the changes of the four seasons
