These few days, Zhu Yi lived very comfortably.
Although Xie Ying is busy, he always finds time to accompany her. In addition to shopping, I also visited my brother and even took her to Sheng's house. The old man of the Sheng family's love and enthusiasm for her was beyond her expectation, and the meeting gifts he gave her were extremely rich, and Xie Ying was asked to bring her there more often.
But she had been in the mansion for many days, Xie Ying didn't ask her to visit King Wei Ning, the concubine, and the old concubine. It made her feel a little uneasy all the time, so she couldn't help but mention a few words.
Xie Ying only said: "Yiyi is a princess with a noble status. Before you get married, how can you go to see your courtiers. When you get married, just go through the etiquette that your parents-in-law and elders should go through."
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?" Seeing Zhu Yi's sizing up, Xie Ying raised her eyebrows and asked slightly.
Zhu Yi said: "I see how you treat me so well." She took the initiative to snuggle into his arms: "Xie Ying, since when did you like me?"
Xie Ying took advantage of the situation and hugged her, thinking about the other party's question.
He couldn't tell, maybe when he rejected Zhu Yi at first, 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 last year to approach her again, she tolerated his first hurt without any complaints. Maybe it's because of her lingering look back when she danced in the red dress under the moon.
He admits that he has a fanatical obsession with Zhu Yi's body, but what really makes him hard to let go is the way she looks at him every time.
"It's hard to answer this question?" Zhu Yi frowned. You are going to marry her, and you don't even know this
"Of course not." Xie Ying said the answer that Zhu Yi wanted to hear the most: "I, like Yi Yi, met for the first time at the Hall of Supreme Harmony Square." As he spoke, he put his lips on her lips lovingly. Mouth.
Xie Ying could hold her breath, but the others in the palace couldn't hold her breath anymore.
At this moment, King Wei Ning was standing in Old Princess Mu's room, and asked Zhu Dai in front of his mother: "Adai, would you like to be your cousin's concubine?"
The faces of Old Princess Mu and Zhu Dai turned pale. Knowing that even King Wei Ning couldn't handle Xie Ying, he asked this question. Jude nodded.
Old Princess Mu looked at Zhu Dai's immature face, and felt that this granddaughter was really like her Zi Ning. She felt sorry for the little girl who lost her father at a young age, and even more so for her own daughter's misfortune. Naturally, she loved Zhu Dai very much.
She said categorically: "My Adai must never be a concubine." Then she said: "A Ying insisted that he was leading the order to welcome Xizhen to come down, and he was honoring that Xizhen outside, so you let him Let this wish come true. If he is not allowed to marry this woman, I am afraid it will become a hindrance to him."
Zhu Dai grabbed Old Princess Mu's hand and shook it. The other party signaled her to be calm, and said, "A Dai is still young, so don't worry. Waiting for Xizhen to marry in first, it's all up to A Ying. Men are all The picture is fresh, there will be no such treasure in a while, when Xizhen commits something that makes Ah Ying unforgivable, she will naturally move the place for us Adai."
The words "unforgivable matter" made both King Wei Ning and Zhu Dai jump in their hearts.
King Wei Ning frowned. He couldn't control his son Xie Ying anymore. He originally thought that if Zhu Dai could marry Xie Ying, the next generation of the Xie family would always be able to look towards his grandfather. But Xie Ying didn't want to marry his fancy daughter-in-law, which made him feel even more disappointed.
King Wei Ning said: "That's the only way to go." Then he was still angry and said: "What kind of princess is she, she doesn't even have a dowry. Such a woman can be the concubine of Prince Wei Ning's mansion." When he thought of Yan Yu'er's generous offering still feels a pity.
Old Princess Mu shook her head and said, "Forget it, who made A Ying fall in love with it?"
King Ning of Wei snorted heavily and said, "At that time, I will ask my mother to make the decision."
After Xie Ying went out, Zhu Yi and Zhu Chuo also took a carriage and left through the small gate on the west side of Lushiyuan, so that they didn't have to go through the main entrance of the palace, and the two sisters felt more at ease with fewer eyes watching them.
They went to Han Yunrong's house.
Han Yunrong didn't accept the servants from Xie Ying, so the huge house was very deserted. He was a man with strong self-esteem, so of course he didn't want to accept Yimei's gift from his brother-in-law.
Zhu Yi thought that there was no one around his brother who knew the cold and the 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 dish of home-cooked tofu balls cooked in sauce was so delicious that Zhu Chuo's tongue was almost bitten off.
However, after making a table of dishes, Han Yunrong did not return home for a long time. I asked the concierge and said that the master is very busy these days.
"Han Yunrong is also busy?" Zhu Chuo asked, "What is he busy with?"
Zhu Yi thought for a while and comforted her: "A Chuo, 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 almost all his money to his sister as a dowry. Even knowing that such financial resources are a drop in the bucket in front of Xie Ying, she still couldn't help but try her best to give her more.
The Zhu Yi sisters didn't know that in just a few days, Han Yunrong became famous among Weizhou civil and military officials.
At the beginning, when Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty conferred feudal vassals, only the Chief History Department was established, and the Chief History Department led twelve bureaucrats to jointly administer and general affairs. However, after the feudal clans grew up and their troops increased, it was natural to set up special departments to manage the growing army.
The army commanding department set up in Weizhou was the Army Mansion. It neither represented the emperor nor used the emperor to support him with money. Everyone did this, and the emperor had no choice. There is not even a plaque hanging outside the gate of Weizhou Joining the Army Mansion, but it does not affect its pivotal status in the slightest.
The Junjun Mansion is in charge of military orders, military officers and military registration, armor, chariots and horses, and military elections, and holds the military lifeline of the entire Weizhou.
Xie Ying announced that Han Yunrong would join the army as a member of the Youzan Army, in charge of military officer selection and military consultation. A newcomer to Weizhou, placed in such an important position, naturally attracted a lot of attention.
But first of all, Xie Ying has a high prestige and a tough style, and he is rarely influenced by who he wants to hire. Secondly, Gu Taiyan also praised him very much, and thirdly, Han Yunrong was a fourth-rank official of the imperial court when he was young. So although there are some people who are skeptical in their hearts, no one speaks out.
The two sisters couldn't wait for Han Yunrong to come home for a long time. Seeing that it was getting late, they had to go back to the palace first.
Seven days passed in a flash, and Zhu Yi was escorted to Sheng's house by Han Yunrong and Sheng Ling the night before her wedding.
The 128th dowry was placed in Sheng's house early on, full of pearls and emerald ornaments, four-season clothes, gold and silver porcelain, embroidered cloth, brocade mattresses and curtains, stationery furniture and other items.
Most of Zhu Yi's dowry was prepared by Xie Ying himself, and part was provided by Han Yunrong. This was the result of Xie Ying and Han Yunrong's uncompromising mutual agreement. The other part is the makeup of Sheng Xiao and Gu Taiyan.
On the day of their marriage, there were red cloths in Weiyuan City, which was very festive.
Anyone with a heart can understand that when Xie Ying arranged for Princess Xizhen to marry from the Sheng family, she naturally wanted the Sheng family to be Zhu Yi's backer. With such intentions, many officials did not dare to underestimate this princess. After all, as long as she can live long enough for Xie Ying to ascend the throne, she should be the queen without any accidents.
Guards of honor cleared the way, gongs and drums blared, and the procession of picking up and seeing off relatives roiled the entire city of Weiyuan.
On the side of the street where the wedding procession passed, ordinary people were shoulder to shoulder, crowded behind the human wall formed by soldiers, and even the windows of buildings on both sides were full of people.
There should be no tents around the phoenix chariot that Zhu Yi was riding in, but Xie Ying used translucent crimson silk and gold hanging curtains for selfishness, and the crowd of onlookers could only see a shadowy figure.
But looking at the flowers in the mist, I feel that the beautiful shadow seems to be hidden in the fairy energy of clouds and clouds, which makes people even more fascinated and intoxicated.
Xie Ying rode in front, led the team into the palace, got off the horse and waited for Zhu Yi to be ushered off the chariot.
Zhu Yi wore a crown of nine phoenixes and four phoenixes on her head, a green gauze collar with a single collar exposed on Xuenen's slender neck, and a pleated skirt with a lot of flowers under her knee-length phoenix gown. Wen Yan helped her out of the phoenix chariot, and she stepped on the two feet wide five-coloured felt in her crimson embroidered shoes with bright pearls, and walked slowly towards the main hall.
Joey's heart was beating extremely fast. She was covered with Luanfeng Heming's red hijab, and she could only see the square inch of her toes, but she knew that she was going to take her to Xie Ying.
Xie Ying, on the other hand, has been smiling since Zhu Yi appeared from the phoenix chariot, and his eyes have followed her figure, so that anyone who comes to watch the ceremony can feel his joyful mood.
Guided by the ceremonial officer's high and low voice, Xie Ying and Zhu Yi finished the etiquette, each held one end of the colored ball ribbon, and were sent into the bridal chamber.
Zhu Yi was sitting on the big red brocade mattress laid out for her by the old man Quanfu. Xie Ying took out the wishful head scale from the lacquered gold plate and picked it up lightly. Blushing cheeks.
The heavy clothing made Zhu Yi's figure not too eye-catching, but her face was really unique. Even the splendor on the princess's crown and the golden-patterned phoenix peony on the auspicious clothes were just a foil.
The people who saw Zhu Yi for the first time came back to their senses and said in their hearts: No wonder, the prince is so caring. There were also two wives who knew that Old Princess Mu didn't like the matter of the granddaughter-in-law showed subtle expressions.
When Zhu Yi saw a room full of unfamiliar female relatives, she was inevitably a little nervous, so she quickly glanced at Xie Ying. Fortunately, he was there.
Today, Xie Ying is wearing an auspicious suit with a red background and embroidered gold, with a one-finger-wide treasure belt of the same color tied around her waist, a jade ring hanging down, and her black hair tied up with a jade chi crown. Her whole body is like Chu Feng, slender and tall .
Zhu Yi has never seen Xie Ying wear red, it is so scorching, it makes him look more handsome and oppressive than usual.
When the maid presented the He-Yu Jade Cup, Xie Ying first took a cup and handed it to Zhu Yi, and then picked up her own. The two raised their arms and walked past each other, drinking the sake in the cup together, without words, tacit movements and converging gazes I have expressed my love for each other.
Zhu Yi, after drinking the Heyuan wine, felt complete and peaceful in her heart, at least she married him without any setbacks.
There was a big banquet in the main hall, and there were so many guests, Xie Ying naturally had to go to the banquet first. When he left, he whispered meaningfully: "Yiyi, wait for me."
Zhu Yi reflected his meaning, bit his lower lip and nodded.
After everyone withdrew, Zhu Yi had time to look around at the surrounding furnishings, and saw that the room was very spacious and decorated in a quaint and picturesque way. On the right side was the glass mirror dressing table of her daughter's house, and a hundred-flower cabinet. I am not sure about the furniture used by women. Question: "Tao Fan, is this a new house converted from Xie Ying's room?"
Tao Shan understood what Zhu Yi wanted to ask. Although many high-ranking nobles were married, they each had a courtyard, and they didn't sleep together every night. But the prince obviously didn't intend to live in a separate room with the princess, so he said, "This is exactly the Muye Hall where the prince lives. The prince specially changed part of the furnishings because the princess wanted to come in."
Zhu Yi was relieved, she didn't want to live apart from Xie Ying at all.
Mianfeng then asked Zhu Yi: "Does the princess want to take a bath now?"
Zhu Yi answered yes.
She had already bathed and changed clothes, and the dragon and phoenix candles were lit, but Xie Ying hadn't come back yet.
Zhu Yi knew that almost all the famous people in Weizhou came to congratulate him today. As Xie Ying, although it is impossible to meet them one by one, it is impossible to leave too early. There should be a lot of wine.
So I hurriedly asked Tao Shan Hangover Soup if it was ready? I was relieved to hear that.
During the lively banquet, not everyone was smiling. At least Zhu Dai didn't.
As for Xie Shao, although he had a smile on his face when receiving guests, there was no smile in his eyes.
Everyone's ears were full of congratulatory voices to Xie Ying and Zhu Yi: "Fortune and good fortune", "Luan and phoenix singing in harmony" and so on...
Zhu Yi sat quietly by the bed and waited for Xie Ying. Finally, there was movement outside.
