Ten Miles of Red Makeup

Chapter 3
Ning Yu, the monarch of the Northern Qi Dynasty, has always heard that he likes roses, but now that he sees them, he never expected to be so obsessed with them.Both sides of the road are full of roses, a piece of fiery red, which complements this festive day so well.There was joy everywhere, with a hiss and a long roar, the horses driving the chariot stopped, and through the curtain, they could clearly see the heavy palace gates, standing together, not only the palace eunuchs, but also the eunuchs in armor. The generals, the officials in court clothes, four or five women wearing all kinds of gorgeous jewels and emeralds, all show their coquettishness.

Standing in the middle was a handsome man wearing a red gold crown and a red wedding dress. He was the new monarch of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Ning Yu.Seeing the stopped chariot, he waved his hand to signal the people around him to back down, while he came forward slowly.With Wenqin's support, Gu Qingcheng got out of the carriage gracefully and calmly.As soon as he got off the carriage, Ning Yu's big hand appeared in front of his eyes, and he was motioning for her to take his hand.Gu Qingcheng was stunned, and regained consciousness in an instant.He took the hand he extended and walked side by side.

Ning Yu's flamboyant wedding dress, Gu Qingcheng's flaming red dress that dragged the floor, against the backdrop of the city full of roses.Like a pair of Bi people, walking on the wide street, this situation is really like a picture, people can't take their eyes off.

The autumn wind came, but it just blew Gu Qingcheng's veil.Without the veil covering his face, Gu Qingcheng's entire Qingcheng face stood out in the eyes of everyone.At that moment, even the air seemed to be still. Everyone was staring at her face, completely forgetting that their identities were women who were not allowed to look directly at the king like this.

It's just that such an alluring woman not only looks like a fairy, but also has an extraordinary temperament.Since ancient times, beauties are either gentle and beautiful, or charming and charming. He Chengyou is such a very beautiful woman with three parts of book, three parts of heroism, three parts of water spirit, and one part of shyness.Gu Qingcheng, indeed, is a country and a city.

Ning Yu gave a soft drink, with a slightly warning look in his eyes.It made everyone tremble, and instantly realized that the king's woman could be peeped at by them?Wen Qin hurriedly picked up the veil, ready to cover it for Gu Qingcheng.Ning Yu waved his hand and said.

"That's it, very good." Then he took her hand and slowly entered the palace gate.

I don't know who took the lead, everyone shouted: "Long live the king, long live the king, and the queen!" The shouts became higher and higher.

According to the ceremony of the new queen's marriage, she had to sacrifice to the heavens. She walked through the heavy palace gate, and after a short while, she saw a long staircase, each section higher than the next section.The Taihe bell rang, and Gu Qingcheng and Ning Yu walked up the stairs side by side. The soldiers on both sides knelt down together, the red skirts dragging on the floor were dragged in a long stack, and the palace officials on both sides waited carefully.Ning Yu held her hand all the time, didn't speak in the middle, just walked quietly.

On the altar, countless sacrifices such as jade and silk, cattle and sheep, fresh fruits and delicacies are placed on the altar.The leading eunuch took the burning incense, Ning Yu bowed three times in the direction of the rising sun, Gu Qingcheng did the same.The eunuch took the incense and inserted it into the furnace.

After the sacrificial oration was read out, Ning Yu took Gu Qingcheng's hand, stood in front of the altar, accepted the worship of civil and military officials, and officially became the queen of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

"The ministers will see the empress, the empress is a thousand years old." Looking down at the officials kneeling on the ground, Gu Qingcheng's vermilion lips parted slightly, and a soft voice came out.

"My lords, please stand up." When she came, she had already entered the palace to receive etiquette training.At this moment, she behaved gracefully and gracefully.

Ning Yu was very happy at the side, the corners of his mouth kept rising, taking advantage of his beautiful lip shape, it made people look comfortable.Gu Qingcheng hadn't looked at his appearance carefully just now, but had heard that when Ning Yu was still the prince, there were rumors that the king at that time, that is, Ning Yu's father, thought his appearance was too much. Feminine and beautiful, not suitable to be a crown prince.I really don't want to see him.

Maybe the word "beautiful" is not suitable for men, but Ning Yu can be said to interpret this word vividly.Under the proud eyebrows, a pair of long and narrow red phoenix eyes, some emotions in the eyes flashed away.Under the stilt bridge of the nose, the lips are raised sexy.People can't help but take a tight breath.

Gu Qingcheng looked up at him. He was tall, taller than Gu Qingcheng by more than a head. At this moment, he was looking at her affectionately, with joy in his eyes.In everyone's eyes, it looks like a couple with deep affection.

Gu Qingcheng looked at Ning Yu's interesting eyes, and the hatred in his eyes was unconsciously revealed. Fortunately, Ning Yu was looking ahead at this time.Gu Qingcheng tried her best to make her expression look real and unaffected. One hand was in the sleeve, and the nails had already been embedded in the palm. The pain hit her, which made her startled. smile.

After the sacrifice ceremony, Ning Yu personally sent her to the Furong Hall to rest for fear that she would be too tired.The Furong Hall is newly built, and everything is brand new. The sweet-scented osmanthus in the courtyard has already bloomed, and its fragrance can be smelled from a distance.

All the coffee tables in the hall are engraved with patterns of hibiscus, and she misses the carvings of hibiscus flowers that can be seen everywhere in the bedroom.White marble pillars stand at the four corners of the room, and the white stone bricks on the walls are carved with hibiscus pictures. This is what Gu Qingcheng saw when he entered the Furong Hall.It seems that Ning Yu really put in a lot of painstaking efforts.Gu Qingcheng, the hibiscus queen, really came out of hibiscus flowers.

In the dormitory, floor-to-ceiling veils cover layer upon layer. On the large bed, the scarlet happy quilt is embroidered with dragon and phoenix patterns embroidered with gold thread. In front of the bed is an auspicious jade-like candlestick lit with a red candle as thick as an arm. She pulled back to reality from her thoughts.

About the time when the moon was on the tip of the willow, the palace instrument came to report. "The servant obeys the king's order, and asks the queen to move to Huadian."

Tonight is the day of great joy for the Empress Dowager of the Northern Qi Dynasty. There is a banquet in the Linhua Hall, and Gu Qingcheng can be considered the protagonist, so of course he will be present.After simply adjusting his appearance, he left the Furong Hall, and there was a phoenix chariot waiting outside the hall.Sitting on a phoenix chariot carried by eight people, taking advantage of the night light, it took only a while to pass to Linhua Hall.

The hall was peaceful and festive. Ning Yu sat high in the center, surrounded by officials. When they saw Gu Qingcheng coming, they all saluted. With the previous lessons, no one was staring at Gu Qingcheng's face, and everyone was polite.They were all seen before when offering sacrifices to heaven, and there were some concubines. Not long after Ning Yu ascended the throne, there were no more than three or four concubines. With Qin's support, Gu Qingcheng slowly sat down beside him.

Scan it lightly. Before coming here, I heard from Wenqin that Ning Yu has a noble concubine, a Zhaoyi and two nobles. Sitting on the left side of Ning Yu is the daughter of the current prime minister, Yuan Qingwu, dressed in lavender In palace attire, the hair is lightly pulled into a flowing bun, and the hair is not swaying.With thin powder and daisies, a pair of beautiful eyes lingered on Ning Yu's body, full of love.Beside him is Zhaoyi, the daughter of a bachelor, Meng Hanyan.The whole body is bookish, and she only wears plain clothes. It looks like a simple decoration, but she is also a beauty.Then the nobles called An Tong and Ting Rong respectively.According to Wen Qin, An Tong is like a little girl, very cute, and Ning Yu's love for her is almost no less than that of Yuan Qingwu and Meng Hanyan.As for Ting Rong, perhaps because she didn't like the formality of the court, she seldom showed off in front of Ning Yu, so she was naturally left out in the cold.At this time, she was alienated like an outsider, watching all this with indifferent eyes.
