On August 28th, the entire capital was swept away from the previously depressing atmosphere. The white silks were removed one after another and replaced with bright red silk satins. There was a festive atmosphere everywhere. This was all because Di Qingchen was going to hold a grand ceremony for the conferment of the Queen. .
I heard that it was held at the Temple of Heaven in the center of the capital, which was the place where the emperor's enthronement was held. It was enough to show how much Di Qingchen valued Ning Jiuwei. He also told the world that the woman beside him wanted to be with him. Sitting on top of the country, looking down upon the world.
Di Qingchen was sitting in the study, looking at the memorial presented by the Ministry of Rites, and nodded slightly. The time was set for the day after tomorrow, which was August 30th. The time was three o'clock in the hour, which was an auspicious time among auspicious days.
After reading the memorial, Di Qingchen raised his head and looked at Zhou Qia, the Minister of Rites. Without saying anything, he stood up and walked slowly to the bottom of the steps. He looked at the golden phoenix crown in the tray, which was made of gold beads and tortoise shells. There are also peonies woven from gold wire, all of which are extremely exquisite and gorgeous, and very lifelike.
Look at the wedding dress again. It is a full set of bright red, piping with gold thread, the upper body is folded, and the buttons are round moon beads from the South China Sea. Both sides are embroidered with dragons and phoenixes, peonies are cut in half, and pearls and jade on gold thread are interspersed on it.
Looking at the skirt on the lower body, the entire skirt is pure red, with a gold-red piping in the middle, and a blue backing inside. It is also a peony and phoenix picture, using gold-red silk thread and double-sided Sichuan embroidery. Woven, lined with auspicious clouds, and decorated with golden beads and tassels underneath.
The embroidered shoes are also small and exquisite. They are all embroidered with peonies and auspicious clouds in red and blue colors, which are auspicious. The rest of the gold hairpin jewelry is undoubtedly not carefully crafted, followed by the white jade belt with a big red Chinese knot hanging on the waist. , decorated with mutton-fat white jade beads, the red and white colors contrast with each other, eye-catching.
Di Qingchen looked at it for a long time, his eyes full of approval. This was the wedding he wanted to give to Jiuwei. Everything should be the best and grandest. Suddenly, the wedding dress in Mu Mansion came to mind. This time , he will make up the best wedding for Jiuwei.
"Your Majesty, if you are dissatisfied with anything, I will ask someone to correct it." Zhou Qia carefully looked at Di Qingchen's face and asked softly.
Di Qingchen shook his head and said: "Go and send this wedding dress to Zhiyang Palace. Ask the queen if there is anything you are not satisfied with or it doesn't fit, and let the etiquette department start to change it."
"Yes, slave, go now." Chen Bao had been with Di Qingchen for a long time, so he naturally knew the importance of Ning Jiuwei to Di Qingchen. After receiving the order, he did not dare to delay for a moment, holding the tray and walking quickly.
However, accidents always come so unexpectedly. Chen Bao bumped into the woman opposite him. When he raised his head, he looked at those eyes that seemed to be spitting fire and said to himself: "It's too bad."
Without thinking, Chen Bao placed the tray on the ground, kowtowed respectfully and said, "I see you, Concubine Xian, and ask Concubine Xian to forgive me for your reckless sin just now."
After hearing Chen Bao's words and seeing that he had a good attitude in admitting his mistakes, Qin Mo didn't want to argue too much. He snorted coldly and was about to leave when he suddenly saw a flash of red drifting across his eyes, which immediately attracted her full attention. .
Qin Mo looked at the shining golden phoenix crown and couldn't take her eyes away anymore. She slowly knelt down and took the phoenix crown out from under the tray. She looked at it many times before raising her eyes slightly.
"Where is Eunuch Chen going to send this phoenix crown?" Qin Mo's voice was neither yin nor yang, but it contained a deep chill that made Chen Bao shiver.
Chen Bao turned around and faced Qin Mo. He kowtowed respectfully and said, "Mother Xian, this is the wedding dress prepared by the emperor for the queen."
Hearing Chen Bao's words, Qin Mo's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, with a hint of jealousy bursting out of them, and she squeezed the phoenix crown tightly in her hands. Sure enough, she knew it, she knew it must be for that bitch Ning Jiuwei.
"Empress, empress, phoenix crown..." Seeing that the golden phoenix wings were about to be bent, Chen Bao reminded him in a high-pitched voice, regardless of his identity.
Qin Mo was startled by Chen Bao's drake voice. When he came back to his senses, he looked at the bend in his hand. As soon as he loosened his grip, the phoenix crown fell to the ground with a snap, and the phoenix beads on it trembled a few times. trembling,
Chen Bao hurriedly held Fengguan in his arms, with a cautious look, which immediately made Qin Mo's eyes show a hint of resentment. Why could Ning Jiuwei get such a good wedding dress, but he had to walk around, and Di Qingchen suffered a lot, but in the end he would end up being despised by others.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites is still waiting for news, so I won't keep any more servants. Please forgive me for being unaccompanied." Chen Bao recalled the scene just now and felt extremely thrilling in his heart. It would be better to stay away from Qin Mo now. If Something really went wrong with Feng Guan, and he wasn't the only one who lost his head.
"Ning Jiuwei, Ning Jiuwei..." Qin Mo watched as Chen Baofei left, pinching his fingers tightly together, his nails already embedded in his flesh, but he didn't notice it.
... ... ... .
"Bai Hua, have you heard that Qin Lin hasn't come back yet?" Ning Jiu asked with a slight frown.
Bai Hua was the one who Qin Lin left to protect Ning Jiuwei because he was afraid that she would be in danger. Hearing Ning Jiuwei's question, Bai Hua nodded slightly and said, "There is no news yet, girl, don't worry, Fourth Master I will definitely come back, it’s just a matter of time.”
"But the wedding is the day after tomorrow." Ning Jiuwei looked sad. Looking at the pile of gold and jade hairpin rings in front of her, she felt the veins on her forehead throbbing.
The closer the wedding came, the more Ning Jiuwei resisted. She kept thinking about Qin Lin in her mind, and every detail of the two getting along. Although Qin Lin seldom spoke, he would always give you the most warmth when you didn't expect it. action.
Although he is not good at expressing himself, he does everything he can in silence. It is hard for you to imagine that a man will wash your hands and make soup for you. He will think about everything carefully, and he will stay with you every step of the way at night. With her and the children, every night.
Ning Jiu thought about it slightly, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but curve. Although Di Qingchen was also very good, she just didn't feel it. She used to feel very warm, but since Qin Lin appeared, she found that everything They are all touching.
When Bai Hua heard Ning Jiuwei's words, he was speechless and frowned. Yes, the wedding was coming soon. Di Qingchen had been moving very fast recently and didn't give them any time. Ning Xiao, in addition to talking to Ning Xiao every day, Jiuwei saw her for several hours and was taken care of by her grandma.
Perhaps this was the preparation that Di Qingchen left behind. He had already written the edict and was preparing to make Ningxiao the eldest princess and title Changle after the wedding. This was already a very high honor.
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Chen, who is with the Emperor, would like to see you." Qin'er stepped in and said.
Hearing Qin'er's words, Ning Jiuwei waved his hand and said, "I don't want to see him, just let him go back."
"But I saw that Eunuch Chen was holding a wedding dress in his hand. It would be bad if he refused." Qin'er said.
Ning Jiu was stunned for a moment, with an undetectable hint of impatience flashing in her eyes. She glanced at Bai Hua, and then said, "In that case, please invite people in."
Qin'er nodded in agreement and retreated. Within a moment, she led Chen Bao in. Ning Jiuwei saw the golden phoenix crown he was holding in his hand at a glance, and a phoenix crown suddenly flashed in her mind. But it's different from this.
"Slave, please see the Queen. May the Queen be blessed with peace and prosperity." Chen Bao kowtowed and said.
Ning Jiuwei waved him to get up and asked, "My father-in-law is here today. What do you mean?"
"It's like this. The Ministry of Rites has just sent a newly made wedding dress. The Emperor sent his servant to let the Queen try it on. If it doesn't fit or is unsatisfactory, let the Ministry of Rites focus on modifying it." Chen Baoxiao He opened his mouth and said,
"That's it. Then you can take it back and say that I'm quite satisfied with everything, but I'm not satisfied with it. Ask the Ministry of Etiquette if you can make some changes." Ning Jiuwei nodded pretending to understand and said with a smile. said.
As soon as these words came out, Chen Bao was so frightened that there was a cold sweat on his face. He said, "Queen, please stop teasing me."
"What I said is true. Just go back. By the way, leave the wedding dress before you leave. I quite like it." Ning Jiuwei said and glanced at Qin'er beside her.
Qin'er understood what Ning Jiuwei meant, took the wedding dress, then looked at Chen Bao and said, "Father, please come this way."
