Jing Shao heard the breathing of the person next to him become long, slowly came over, gently fell a kiss on his forehead, thinking of carrying him to his arms, but afraid of waking him, only to give up. Lying on the bed to think about how he was suddenly reborn back to nineteen years old, when he was clearly holding Jun Qing jumped off the cliff, and then his eyes went black ...... thought for half a day and couldn't think of a reason, so he turned to start thinking back to Hongzheng thirteen years what happened.
Hongzheng twelve years winter, he drove the Xiong Nu returned victorious, the dragon's face is very happy, in his upper two brothers have not been divided into the case of exceptionally sealed him as the King of Cheng. For a time, the court was talking about, said the emperor this is intended to be his third son as the crown prince. Unexpectedly just after the year, the stepmother will tell him, ancestor has not been married on the reasoning of the king, so hurry to give him a marriage, that is, the North Marquis of the second son.
Jing Shao and the second prince are the Queen's out, is absolutely orthodox first son, after the Queen but let him marry a male wife to cut off his future, he naturally refused, immediately lifted the table and whisked his sleeve away, and was about to report to his father that the Queen's malicious intentions, the second day of the early morning of the Emperor but the father of the decree, the eighth of March to finish the marriage, do not give him any opportunity to resist.
From then on, King Cheng went from being the hot heir-to-be to an outcast whose father didn't love him and whose mother didn't.
Smiling to himself in the darkness, the "discarded pieces" that had been swallowed suddenly returned to the board as hidden killing moves, and it was hard to tell who would lose and who would win.
The next day, although he could wait until after the court to pay his respects to the emperor and queen, there was still a series of rituals to be done, and he could not sleep for long.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, it's time to get up." Zhi Ruoxi knocked on the door of the inner room.
"Wait outside the door," the shallow-sleeping Mu Hanzhang immediately awoke with a start, commanded outward, and gently nudged Jing Shao, "Your Highness, wake up."
"Hmm?" Jing Shao opened his eyes in a daze and saw a familiar face, the handsome face he would see every day when he woke up in the prison, "What's wrong?"
"It s time to get up, the minister ...... has to go down and put on the shirts first." Mu Hanzhang pursed his lips, last night this person forced him to put medicine on him, and preferred to sleep on the outside, so that he had been unable to go down to get his shirts.
"...... "Jing Shao froze for a moment before reacting to the fact that this wasn't a dungeon, it was his bridal chamber, "Oh, it's my oversight." Reacting to the fact that his new wife was asking for pants from himself, Jing Shao immediately sat up and reached for the new shirts on the hanger to curtly hand them over.
Mu Hanzhang took the pants, but found that the man was still looking straight at himself, so he had to put them on under the covers.
Did not ask for praise and was treated as a traitor, because of the years of war and do not know what the "praise" expression, Jing Shao, can only embarrassingly touch his nose.
"Congratulations Your Highness, Your Highness, slave servant Duo Fu pays his respects to Your Highness." The one who entered the room first was a round-faced fat eunuch Duo Fu, also the chief eunuch of this Cheng Wang Fu, smilingly kneeling down to salute Mu Huan Zhang. Mu Hanzhang accepted this salute and rewarded him with the purse he had prepared earlier, "Eunuch Duofu, please rise." Duofu was an old eunuch who had taken care of Jing Shao since he was a child, and Mu Hanyang couldn't be too big.
Duo Fu received it with a smile, then Zhi Ruoxi, the eldest maid in the house, and Mengxi and Miao Ruoxi, the two who served Jing Shao personally. Mu Hanzhang was not courteous this time, and accepted the full gift one by one, rewarding the gold naked.
Jing Shao watched and secretly nodded his head, thinking that Jun Qing grew up in the family of a public official, even though he was a commoner son, the means of dealing with subordinates was not bad at all, so he did not intend to say anything more.
Mu Huan Zhang's two dowry maids also came to Jing Shao salute, Lan Xuan mouth stupid, only dryly said "see the king" and no further, Lan Ting timid, low head stuttering to say a toast, body are a little trembling.
Mengxi looked at the two maids and quietly nudged toward Miaoxi, thinking that they really were commoners, and even the maids were so unseasoned. She went to look at Zhi Ruoxi again, but was glared at by Zhi Ruoxi, who then lowered her head and stopped doing anything.
Mu Hanzhang just lightly glanced at his two maids, his calm eyes could not see any joy or anger. Before he got married, Mrs. Bei Wei Marquis said that the maids around him were old, and that following him around would cause suspicion, so she only allowed him to bring two small maids.
Jing Shao secretly frowned, these two maids looked nothing like the people who always follow Mu Hanzhang around, it seems that we have to find him two good manpower is: "Duo Fu, turn back to find a boy for the Wangfei and then with two guards to."
"It's the slave servant's negligence, I'll go do it today." Duo Fu was busy confessing, the crown princess is a man, can be matched with a boy and guards, just most husband's family will ignore this matter, the king is so accountable, it can be seen is really on the crown princess.
Hearing this, Mu Hanzhang's calm expression slightly loosened as he rose and saluted, "Thank you, Your Highness." The allocation of a boy and guards meant that he was allowed to go out on a regular basis, which was really a blessing in disguise for him nowadays.
Jing Shao saw the surprise in his eyes, only to feel the soreness in his heart, busy reaching out to help him: "This is what should be done, thank you for what?"
On the second day of the wedding to pay respect to the emperor and queen, the prince and consort should wear court dress. Jing Shao has now been crowned king, the grade of the court dress is naturally one grade higher. Officials above the third grade in the Chen Dynasty had a purple court dress; the prince's court dress was dark yellow, the crown prince wore apricot yellow, and the prince wore a moon white color. Mu Hanzhang is now the Prince Consort who sued the temple, the first grade lady title, but he is a man, can't wear women's enjoined clothes, so his court dress is also purple, the style is similar to the royal son clothes.
Mu Hanzhang was twenty years old this year and had already performed his crown ceremony, so Lan Ting buckled him into the purple and gold crown that matched his court dress; and although Jing Shao was less than twenty, he was crowned king, so he could take the five-clawed silver dragon crown. The purple and gold crown was different from ordinary crowns, and Lan Xuan, who had never seen this kind of crown before, couldn't buckle it, sweating anxiously, and unwilling to ask Zhi Ruoxi and the others for help, for fear of appearing as if they hadn't seen the world and disgracing the young master.
Jing Shao glanced at the little girl, stepped forward and signaled to give him the tiara, skillfully opened the purple gold buckle: "On the day of the wedding, when by my husband to give you a crown." In the former dynasty, there is a wedding morning husband to the bride of the tradition of yellow flowers, to comfort the wife because of the aunt and uncle to visit the heart of the disturbed, but nowadays it is not fashionable to stick flowers, Jing Shao this is completely their own nonsense reason.
"Your Highness?" Mu Hanzhang, who had been sitting, only stood up, "How does this make it possible?"
Jing Shao didn't reply, but just carefully clasped his hair in a bun, and smoothly smoothed the two strands of gold ribbon that hung down between the soft green silk.
Two equally handsome and extraordinary people standing together, one elegant, one cold, how to see how to match, Miaoxi who tied Jing Shao's jade belt couldn't help but praise, "Your Highness and Your Highness standing together, really is a golden boy and a jade child, couldn't be better matched."
This morning's situation she had long since understood, the king not only did not hate the princess, but also liked it very much, always clever Miaoxi naturally will not let go of the opportunity to curry favor with the king.
"Really?" Jing Shao sniffed and wrapped Mu Han Zhang's waist and dragged him to the dressing mirror, the person beside him was slender, but he was still half a head short of himself, which made Jing Shao quite self-satisfied, "Well, it's indeed a good match."
Mu Hanyang Zhang looked at the image in the mirror out of focus, found that the wound on the lower lip has really been good for seven or eight points, the blood scabs have fallen, only a pink trace remains, not to look closely to see. Until he heard the maidens laughing and joking, only then reacted, busy pulling down on his waist: "Quickly go, it's late." Said also did not wait for him, walked straight out.
"Your Highness is not to blame, Your Highness is shy." Realizing his young master's rudeness, Lan Ting was busy explaining to Jing Shao in a low voice.
"Hmph, when this king can't see it?" Jing Shao followed with little expression, looking at the tips of Jun Qing's slightly reddened ears with joy in his heart.
"Sister Zhi Ruoxi, is the king angry?" Lan Xuan shrank his neck at the cold snort and busily asked Zhi Ruoxi, who was beside him.
Zhixi took a handkerchief to cover her lips and said, "That's how the king is, the majesty brought out by years of fighting, you'll know that later."
To go to the palace is a red curtain Huagai eight sedan chair, two people sitting in the same sedan chair, Mu Hanzhang some discomfort to move, waist and femur pain is really hard to endure.
"Hard on your back? You lean against me and I'll rub it for you." Jing Shao naturally discovered this action, reached out and gathered him into his arms, not waiting for someone's consent before placing his large hands on his waist and rubbing it. Feeling the body in his arms stiffen for a moment and then slowly relax, he couldn't help but hook his lips, "Later if the Empress says anything, you listen to it, no matter what you are rewarded with despite the fact that you can take it."
He remembered that the Queen rewarded the very expensive things, which also let him mistakenly think that Mu Hanzhang is very much in the Queen's mind, naturally more and more do not treat him, and now think of their own time is really childish, the Queen's reward is not the reason not to take, and no matter who this person is, as long as it is a man, will certainly be in the Queen's mind.
Mu Hanzhang looked up at him and nodded, "I understand." He had heard about the royal affairs, and it was only normal for Jing Shao, as Empress Yuan's son, to be at odds with the step-empress. However, was this person saying this to comfort him? Thinking about this, there was some slight sweetness in his heart, other than that bad night, this person's behavior after he sobered up was really gentle.
"Don't call it 'minister' in private, how rusty it sounds." Jing Shao pinched while thinking that this tight waist feels so good, not like a woman who pinches it to break, but like a leopard's waist, with smooth lines and full of tension.
Waist kneading the force is just right, although I know it's not right, but it is not good to move away, mu hanzhang had to pretend not to know to talk to him: "rites can not be abolished, and the king privately talk to be more careful, or to call the 'mother of the queen' is good, if it is to the heart of the people to listen to it, it is enough to be a copy of the reference. "
"Jun Qing, is this caring about me?" Hearing this, Jing Shao couldn't help but hook her lips and ask him with a lowered head.
Mu Hanzhang glared at him, "I am merely admonishing." In the past, I had only heard people say that King Cheng was irritable and easy to anger, but I had never imagined that he was still this frivolous.
"Haha ......" Jing Shao only felt cute when she saw him in this appearance and couldn't help but laugh.
The little eunuch who followed outside the sedan chair couldn't help but pinch himself when he heard the laughter, gosh, the whole capital knows that King Cheng can't inherit the throne if he marries a male consort, but the king is still able to laugh so happily, he won't be mad at the queen, right?
Mu Hanyang saw that he was still laughing, so she turned her head to ignore him, who would have thought that a twist of her head would have bumped into Jing Shao's sturdy and warm chest, and she couldn't help but blush, so that it would be as if she had thrown herself on the mercy of her husband, and she was busy struggling to get up.
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh," Jing Shao busily pressed to keep him from getting up, whispering, "Don't move, or the bearers will find out."
"You ......" Mu Hanzhang really didn't dare to move, but just glared at him with a huff.
The author has something to say: yuan queen: the emperor's original queen, after the death of the other married queen called after the title: only the eunuchs of the Qing dynasty called themselves "lackey", before they are called "slave", the status of the small eunuchs called "small people! ""Little one"".
