Chapter 18: Cold Stove
。 Happy Lantern Festival, everyone!! Zhu's mansion is in the sweet water lane of the inner city, when the team to welcome the relatives set off, Zhu Shuzhen has also been dressed up neatly, and since the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the palace has begun to prevail with the Xia curtain and phoenix crown, but under the strict hierarchy, it can only be worn when the royal nobles marry and the princess marries. Zhu Shuzhen is naturally beautiful, and when she is happy, she is even more beautiful.
Since two years ago, she has never met with the prince, can only communicate with his calligraphy and painting, that night by chance, made a 'circle poem', thinking that the prince will be difficult to crack, scratching her ears and cheeks to feel funny, but she hopes that the prince can crack and know her lovesickness. This was meant to be just a joke, but I didn't expect the prince to reply to the book soon, it was also a circle of paper, but there was a hint of evil in it, and there was no letter after that
"Respect the ring, sleep all night without violating my aunt's order." Time gradually progressed, Zhu Shuzhen was helped out by the maid, Zhu Yannian solemnly admonished aloud, his daughter married into the royal family, this is the glory of the whole family, after that, the Zhu family is rich and worry-free, of course, it is extremely excited.
"Do as my father commands!" Zhu Shuzhen knelt down and bowed.
"Reluctantly, respectfully. Staying up all night does not violate the etiquette of the boudoir. Mother Zhu got up and taught her daughter Zhengzheng Fengguan Xiaxia.
"Obey your mother's orders!" Zhu Shuzhen bowed again.
After this set of ceremonies, the procession of welcoming relatives has arrived at the door, playing the wedding song, stopping in front of the door of Zhufu, and the family of Zhufu who has been waiting there will be greeted immediately, please enter the hall to entertain, and distribute gifts to the relatives, the number of people in Yanwangfu to welcome relatives is large, although it is only a small gift. But it can't stand the crowd. It's also a lot of money.
At this time, the women's family happened to tell the temple ceremony and the end of the women's ceremony, Zhu Yannian welcomed Zhao Ta into the house, according to the etiquette, he could only meet with his father-in-law on this trip, and the female relatives avoided all of them, and the treatment was very poor, only a cup of tea, no wine and food. Zhao Ta was extremely sad because of Zhao Xin's no-show, and he was even more irritable at this time, but he could only follow the etiquette in front of everyone. But the words were also boring, and laughing was not much better than crying, but fortunately, there were officials in charge and Jianxi and others to cover it, and the royal ceremony was more than solemn. The celebration was insufficient, and the Zhu family was not aware of it, but there was nothing wrong.
Zhao Ta sat on pins and needles in Zhu's mansion, only hoping to end it early, as if a hundred years had passed, the music sounded again, urging the bride to get on the sedan chair, and the bride began to resign, and the aunt, aunt and sisters sent it to the door of the inner house. Arrange the skirt again, teach a little, and then send the bride out of the door, and only after a harmonious singing did he get on the sedan chair, Zhao Ta then re-boarded the elephant chariot, and the whole team returned to the palace.
After blowing and blowing to welcome back the bride, the chamberlain in the palace had already waited in the house, edicting 'Zhu Shuzhen is Mrs. Qi Guo', and then after the ceremony of being in the same prison and joining the house, it was considered a ceremony. Sent to the cave room. According to the current practice, it should be a big feast to entertain the women's family to send off guests and guests, but the ancient rites are different, this feast will be put on the next day, so it will be lively for a long time. And they dispersed, and they came again to-morrow for the feast
Zhu Shuzhen entered the new house under the support of the bride. She asked the maid to reward everyone in the palace, everyone thanked and went out to wait, she was the only one left in the house, everyone knew that the royal road was strict, and it was a rule to move and sit, she could only sit at the head of the bed with anxiety and wait for the prince to come. Most of the women in the world are blind and dumb marriages, and they have never met before marriage, all relying on the mouth of the matchmaker, thinking that they have not only met the prince, but also seen his heroism, and they are also lucky people.
Zhu Shuzhen also hopes that she can marry a talented man who can write poetry and literature, and the two can repay each other in the boudoir, sing poetry and books, and have common hobbies and interests. Although this Prince Yan cannot be said to be able to write, the few poems that flow outside the palace are all masterpieces, and they are handsome and chic, and have a good reputation. Out of Beijing out of Hedong not only repeatedly defeated the Western Xia, but also expanded the territory, the world is famous, I don't know how many girls in Lu Dao are obsessed with it. Now that she is the dignified Princess Yan and Mrs. Qi Guo as soon as she passes through the house, she is like a sparrow turning into a phoenix, I don't know how many people envy her! …,
But waiting for Zhu Shuzhen felt that something was wrong, from noon to sunset, until the red candle was lit in the house, the prince still did not appear, but she didn't dare to move, she wanted to ask the escort and was ashamed to open her mouth, so she could only stand hard, and finally couldn't stop the sleepiness, and fell asleep leaning on the side of the bed...
"Second master, get up!"
Zhu Shuzhen was taken aback when she heard the morning call, and hurriedly sat up, and suddenly found that she had slept on the bed, the red candle in front of the bed was about to burn out, she was covered with a brocade quilt, and her hijab had been removed.
"Morning!" Zhu Shu really tried to remember the scene of last night, and heard someone ask.
"Lord Wang?!" Zhu Shuzhen turned her face to look, and saw a person sitting on the soft couch next to the bed, it was the prince's own husband, she was surprised.
"When I came back last night and saw that you were asleep, I didn't alarm you, and I slept well!" Zhao Ta sat up with a smile and said.
"The concubine gave a salute, and she fell asleep first" Zhu Shuzhen hurriedly got up and tidied up her clothes, and said to the prince, but she was annoyed, this time it stinks, she actually fell asleep alone on the wedding night, and she didn't even notice that the prince undressed herself, but if she knew that the prince of the Dao Dao had the ability to search his whole body when others were awake, and steal his underwear without alarming him, she might feel much better.
"It's okay, after a day's tossing, you're too tired!" Zhao Ta looked at the flustered 'daughter-in-law' and shook his head and chuckled, but it made his heart flutter, this girl has not seen the purity of her body gradually decrease for two years, but she is even more charming, although she is only wearing a small shirt, she has a luxurious and gorgeous state, but she is a beauty.
"Lord, concubine, wait for you to get up!" Zhu Shuzhen saw that the prince was not to blame, and saw that the prince looked at him fixedly, his heart was slightly wider, and then he saluted.
"No need, Zhao Xin" Zhao Ta waved his hand and shouted casually, but suddenly realized that the person who accompanied him day and night had already left on the eve of his wedding.
"Why don't you wait for the prince and princess to change their clothes!" Seeing Xi, he immediately found that the prince had lost his words, and immediately commanded several maids to step forward.
"See, who is Zhao Xin?" Zhu Shuzhen heard it, but felt that it was inappropriate, and did not move to ask Xidao.
"Oh, princess, Zhao Xin is the chief of the prince's guard, and he has always been in charge of the prince's daily life, but suddenly he changed people, and the prince is not used to it!" Hearing someone call Jianxi, he is not very used to it, in the past, only the prince and the official in the palace dared to call him by his name like this, and others did not have to call him 'Ye' when they saw him, but now that there is a princess, he has to adapt again, he promised to say quickly.
"See you, don't be verbose, let's come!" Because when changing clothes, the maid accidentally touched the prince's severed finger, and Zhao Ta flashed his body and said unhappily.
"Yes, Second Master!" Seeing that the prince's face was not good, Zhilu Dao's voice just now aroused the prince's heart, and hurriedly waved his hand to let the maid step back and take care of it himself.
"What's wrong with the prince's hand?" Only then did Zhu Shuzhen find that the prince had a cloth wrapped around his hands, and there were a little blood stains on it, and asked out loud.
"Princess, it's the prince"
"Palm, the rules have been learned in vain!" A maid just said half a sentence, and was interrupted by Jianxi, and immediately someone came in and took the maid down, and Jianxi turned around and said, "Princess, the prince's finger was accidentally injured when practicing martial arts, and it will be good for a few days!" ”
"Oh!" Zhu Shuzhen nodded and said that she knew the truth, but she didn't believe what she said, just now his actions had made her understand that she didn't want her to know the truth, which made her uneasy and also knew that the palace was not allowed to talk nonsense, so she no longer asked the reason for the matter, but stepped forward to carefully change the clothes for the prince with his own hands...,
According to etiquette, the next day, the bride gets up early, bathes and dresses up, and prepares to meet her in-laws, which marks the beginning of the woman's way, and the royal family is not exempt from this rule. Early in the morning, the two entered the palace to meet their father, queen mother, and the ladies of the palace, of course, no one will kill them in vain, and they are rewarded.
In fact, not only the in-laws, but also other relatives of the elders. After the founding of the Zhao family, the three lines of Taizu, Taizong and Tingmei were authentic, and the children of each line were not 10,000 but 8,000 for nearly 200 years. If these people Zhao Ta hadn't been reminded, let alone acquaintances, they wouldn't even be able to tell whether they were old or young, but Zhu Shuzhen had a clear door, walked dozens of families that could be right, and knew the population of his family well, and prepared the corresponding gifts, obviously he had done enough work, and he had to admire this little lady's head was so good, and he caught up with the mobile hard drive!
"See, can Young Eunuch Meng's family be in front?" After passing the Baokang Gate and walking to the Wuyue Temple, Zhao Ta suddenly asked.
"Oh, Lord Wang, yes, crossing the bridge is the Meng Mansion, is there something wrong?" Seeing Xi, he was stunned and replied, this Meng Shaojian is loyal and loyal, he is the forty-second grandson of Mencius, and the current official will be a young eunuch, and he has no relationship with the palace.
"Change the route, prepare a gift, let's go to see the Empress Dowager Yuanyou!" Zhao said.
"Second master, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right?" Seeing the joy and surprise, the Empress Dowager Yuanyou should really come to the door, she was originally the empress of Emperor Zhezong, and it is said that she is also the aunt of the prince, but because she was in the palace of Zhezong Dynasty. After the death of Zhezong, Zhao Ji succeeded to the throne, and ordered the restoration of his name, but under the encouragement of Cai Jing and others, he was soon deposed again, and lived in Yaohua Palace, two ups and downs, from the queen to the Taoist, it can be described as sad, soon the Taoist temple was burned down, and the court did not arrange a new Taoist temple, she had to live in the house of her younger brother Meng Zhonghou, which showed that the world was hot and cold, and the prince wanted to burn the cold stove.
"I'm visiting the elders, not the Queen Mother, what's wrong, just do it!" Zhao Ta said coldly, others don't know Lu Dao, but he knows that this woman in the history of Lu Dao has great merit (. )
