Yutai Bi

Chapter 156 Variables
The purse is dark red.She doesn't know how to embroider, so she cut some pieces of cloth from the fabric for hair, and embroidered a layered peony with thin stitches.The stitches of the purse are finely stitched, and it looks delicate.

"It's so beautiful! Tsk tsk!" Du Yansui was overjoyed, holding it in his hand to look over and over again, not forgetting to show off to Hei Qi who was standing beside the horse with a stern face, "Isn't it?"

Hei Qi froze there, didn't want to agree and didn't know what to say.

He heard Du Yansui say deliberately in a voice he could hear: "San Niang, Hei Qi is dumbfounded. Who told him not to marry a wife!"

Cen Sanniang covered her sleeves and smiled, the precious tree Zhai Bird on her head trembled slightly, shining brightly under the hazy yellow light.

Hei Qi got on his horse, and was extremely shameless at Du Yansui's behavior of making fun of himself to please his daughter-in-law.But when he heard the crisp laughter coming from the wind, he felt a little softer in his heart.

After receiving the imperial order, entering the palace to thank the lord of the Sixth Palace is usually just the final etiquette, just following the process.Some imperial orders above the third grade entered the palace, kowtowed to the queen, and after listening to the admonition, they couldn't even ask for a cup of tea, so they went back.

But who called the queen's surname Cui?Cen Sanniang's eyes drooped slightly, and after hearing the summons from the head servant, she walked into the hall gracefully.

Incense is burning in the temple, and the fragrance is rich and meaningful.The carpet is so soft that it makes no sound when you step on it.

Without raising her eyes, the wind from the corner of her eyes swept over the colorful skirts on both sides of the corridor in the main hall, Cen Sanniang knew that it must be the concubines of the sixth palace who greeted the queen and hadn't dispersed yet.

It's the same as before... What's the old way, the queen likes to let her be a monkey for the concubines to see, can she say no?I hope that as Du Yansui said, the queen will be scruples and still think about the marriage between Cui and Du's family, at least she won't embarrass herself today.

There were soft discussions all around.The emperor was young, and the concubines were even younger.Her charming voice was like a bird rising early, with a sense of joy, which eased Cen Sanniang's nervousness.

She respectfully walked to the brocade mat placed in front of her, and bowed her knees to prostrate.

"Stay flat. Show Mrs. Du a seat." The Queen's voice was soft, not as harsh as imagined.

Cen Sanniang thanked En and sat down.When he looked up, he was almost stunned by the queen's appearance.

The queen is in her twenties, a female version of Cui Mengdong.Clean and beautiful, with a little more softness.Wearing a corolla of Nine Trees and Nine Dies, and a light yellow gown with embroidered phoenix on the breast.The gorgeous clothes did not make her lose the slightest bit of beauty, but on the contrary, her face was as bright as the bright moon.

Such a beautiful queen was left out in the cold, but the emperor fell in love with his father's talent, and even served as the martial beauty of Princess Teng.Cen Sanniang couldn't help thinking evilly.Could it be that the queen empress is so beautiful that the emperor has no desires? It is really not as exciting as Wu Zhaoyi's charming and peony-like beauty.

When meeting Wu Meiniang earlier, Cen Sanniang felt that the word "Mei" given to her by the late emperor was just right, charming to the bone, and the femininity exuding from all over her body could not be imitated by others.

Cen Sanniang turned her eyes slightly, and the person sitting in the third seat opposite her was Wu Zhaoyi, whose belly was slightly protruding.

As soon as their eyes met, they separated naturally.

"Hey, beauty Cen, you are cousins, right? They really are as beautiful as each other!" The queen laughed.

Cen Meiren entered the palace at the age of 15, and is almost 17 years old this year. She is the daughter of the second master of the Cen family.Ranked fifth in Sanfang, she is Cen Sanniang's fifth cousin.

I saw a concubine standing up behind Pingting, wearing a fairy bun.There were too many ornaments on her head, Cen Sanniang took a look, and the focus of her eyes was only to see that the jewelry box was overturned.

Cen Sanniang shook her head inwardly, this cousin was only named a fourth-rank beauty, and she was dressed more gorgeously than Wu Zhaoyi, did she deliberately imitate Grandma Liu's head full of flowers?

"The empress looks natural, and the concubines and sisters are ashamed of their appearance." Cen Meiren replied modestly.

She smiled slightly at Cen Sanniang, as a greeting.

Cen Sanniang thought to herself, this cousin can still speak.

The queen said: "There is a beauty from the Cen family, the side concubine Cen who proposed to marry before King Teng's banquet last year in mid-autumn. She has such a beautiful face, we can't find anyone in this palace who is more charming and beautiful than her."

Cen Sanniang tried her best not to look at Wu Zhaoyi. The queen wanted to praise the sisters of the Cen family without knowing the inside story, but she didn't know that she was poking a hornet's nest.Cen Sanniang should not be implicated.Both are surnamed Cen, and he and Liu Niang were not born by the same mother.

Someone echoed the queen's words and said: "Yes, at that time, the emperor was curious about what kind of woman he could ask King Teng to marry at the banquet, and when he announced her entry into the palace, her look shocked everyone in an instant."

The queen joked: "It's okay, we already have a beauty Cen in our palace, and if another beauty comes, that's okay."

Seeing that Cen Sanniang kept her eyes down respectfully and remained silent.The queen turned around: "General Du is young and heroic, and Mrs. Du is as beautiful as the person in the painting. She is really a pair of people. I remember that General Du's sister was very naughty when she was young, and she often bullied my nephew. Childhood sweetheart, childhood sweetheart... ..."

Cen Sanniang's heart sank.

"The empress seems to want to catch up with Mrs. Du. The concubine is not feeling well, so I will leave now!" Wu Zhaoyi got up slowly, blessed the empress, and interrupted her.

Cen Sanniang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Wu Zhaoyi made it clear that she was helping herself.She immediately glanced at her and nodded secretly at her.

Empress Cui looked at her angrily, but said in her mouth: "Go back to the palace and rest, Anzi, call the imperial physician, and tell Wu Zhaoyi that she is not feeling well."

Wu Zhaoyi thanked her with a smile, and walked away slowly holding the maid's hand.

Cen Sanniang heard a charming voice saying: "Wu Zhaoyi is not feeling well again, the emperor should feel distressed again."

She looked over quietly, at the age of twenty-eight, she had extremely beautiful phoenix eyes, the corners of the eyes were hooked up, and against the flying eyebrows, she naturally showed a charming look.

Being able to sit in a head-to-head position is not a low status.

"Liu Jieyu speaks carefully." The queen said lightly.

Oops, Cen Sanniang remembered another super cannon fodder in this period of history, poor Concubine Xiao Shu.There is no Queen Wang or Concubine Xiao Shu here.But looking at Empress Cui and the crown prince's biological mother Liu Jieyu, it is clear that one corresponds to the other.

"Oh, I was interrupted by Wu Zhaoyi, Mrs. Du, what did I say just now?" Empress Cui pointed her forehead with her finger.

Cen Sanniang got up and replied: "Madam, my concubine just heard you mention that my little girl often bullies your nephew. Speaking of your nephew, I met him at the Suiyuan peony meeting a few days ago."

Empress Cui had a smile in her eyes: "Oh?"

Cen Sanniang said softly: "He looks very much like your empress. He is a young man, handsome and unparalleled. I heard that his baby name is Yuguan. It's a pity that my little girl has never met him. Although they are childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts, they each have their own marriages."

Seeing the queen's appearance, all the concubines nodded secretly when they thought of Mr. Cui, whose nickname was Yuguan.

Empress Cui was still happy to hear it, but then the smile on her face became very faint.I thought to myself, no wonder my family sent a letter asking me to marry me, this Du family really doesn't know how to flatter me.A young lady dares to refuse the marriage in front of Ben Gong.

The queen smiled: "Oh? Mrs. Du married into Du's family less than a month ago, I'm afraid I haven't figured out the reason why? I was still the concubine of Jin at the time, and I happened to go home to visit relatives, and met my elder brother and invited Du Guogong to drink. Bengong remembers that was the time when Cui and Du's family made a promise of marriage. The marriage was discussed only when the two children were older. I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears. Why would Mrs. Du say that the two children are not married? ? It just so happened that Lord Cui Hou begged to come to this palace, wanting to be decent. This palace will issue an order..."

Once the jade mouth is opened, and Yi's order is issued, there is no room for change.Cen Sanniang groaned secretly, left her seat and knelt down and interrupted the queen's words: "My lord! It's not for nothing that my concubine said that! My mother is lingering on the sick bed, and the medicine is ineffective. I need the advice of an expert, and I need my little girl to marry someone to be happy!"

She said this in one breath, her mind was spinning quickly, and the lies flowed like clouds and water: "How can you be so wronged because of the noble status of the founding prince. And the other party needs to be..."

Empress Cui was not a vegetarian either, so she laughed: "I was worried about this. The Cui and Du families are family friends, so how can the elders see death if they are in trouble!" The second girl of the mansion chooses an auspicious date to get married quickly!"

Cen Sanniang opened her mouth and murmured in a voice that she could only hear: "...you need to be an ugly person, born in the second year of Zhenguan."

What she wanted to talk about was Dalang Zou.I never thought that I was so slow in speaking and was interrupted by the queen.

Wu Zhaoyi helped her interrupt the queen once, but in the end she couldn't stop the queen from granting the marriage.

Yan Wan, poor Yan Wan.Just because of that hypocrite?Cui Mengdong's mind is too narrow!

How can this make her go back to the house?Cen Sanniang's heart tightened.

She finally understood that these concubines in the palace were the daughters of the courtiers.It was deliberately left by Empress Cui as a witness and used as a megaphone.In less than half a day, the whole Chang'an city would probably know the news of the marriage between the founding marquis and Du Guogong's mansion.

The concubines stepped forward one after another to congratulate the queen's nephew on his marriage to the Du family.

A court lady stepped forward to help Cen Sanniang.

"Speaking of which, we are also considered relatives. Today you have to be named Shuren, and I will give you a handle of purple jade Ruyi." The queen's smile was as clean and beautiful as the first snowfall.

Cen Sanniang was in a state of confusion, and heard a gentle reminder from the court lady: "Madam, thank you!"

She woke up like a dream.Now that the matter has come to this point, even if she refuses again, the queen will not take back her order.She knelt and kowtowed again.

The queen left the phoenix seat, supported her with her own hands, and said warmly: "Madam, relax. Since it is because of your mother's illness, I will send someone to the Jianguohou's mansion to deliver an order, ordering them to prepare for the wedding quickly."

Hypocritically want to smoke her!Cen Sanniang tried her best not to push the queen away, agreed in a low voice, and left the queen's bedroom.

Empress Cui returned to Fengzuo and let the concubines disperse.Then he ordered the servants beside him: "Go and invite General Du. Elder brother is like a father, and I will tell him this happy event in person."
