One spring day in the fourteenth year of Tianhui was the first year that Jin Xizong Wanyan Dan ascended the throne, which was the year of Chenlong.
At the end of February, the spring snow was pouring down, and the fertile fields were covered with snow. The Li family in Bohai, west of Ningcheng in Dajin, the wife Wu Gulunshi who had just finished her confinement in Weilan Garden was lying on the bed to rest. It was Li Shi, an official. Lying in the crib next to the bed was her one-month-old daughter.
Lady Wugulun is the younger sister of Emperor Taizu's consort, and is now Li Shi's second wife. She has just passed her thirties, and is at the age of charm. She is dignified and beautiful in a dark purple dress. Look at her again. The skin is delicate and smooth, and a gentle feeling comes to my heart.
Li Shi, an official, seems to be in his forties, his temples have begun to turn white, and there are many fine lines on his cheeks. He has been appointed as an official in the imperial court since he was in his twenties, and is now the deputy commander of the Ma Army.
The spring breeze on his face was rocking the baby couch, and inside the couch lay an extremely beautiful baby girl. Her eyes were as watery as grapes, and her skin was as tender and delicate as a shelled egg.
Snow fell like goose feathers outside the house, red plum blossoms reflected in the window, and a little bit of beauty spread on the window paper.
Li Shiqing sat on the small pier and looked down at the baby girl, his eyebrows were thoughtful and his eyes kept beating.
After a while, he teased her again with the rattle, and she smiled very beautifully, like the sound of nature.
At this time, a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old walked in from outside, holding the hand of a girl of about the same age.
This man is Wanyan Yong, your majesty's cousin, King Yong, and Li Shi's nephew. He is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he is already tall and tall. His white robes make him tall, and his childish cheeks are already visible. The unique handsomeness of a man from the Northern Kingdom makes him look like a real talent.
When he entered the house, light snow shook and fell on his shoulders, making him smile slightly.
The girl next to her is dressed in pink, with black silk braided hair hanging down naturally, and a beaded tassel on her forehead that is crystal clear. She behaves elegantly and shows a demure attitude. This is Wu Lin Daming, a Jurchen noblewoman who is engaged to Wan Yanyong. Xuan, she picked a branch of red plum and held it in her hand, then gently put down her cloak and hat.
Wanyanyong was very happy when he walked in. He bowed his head and clenched his fists and said, "Uncle, second wife, congratulations! I heard about my uncle's joy at making tiles last month, but who knew that it would snow heavily at the beginning of the year for many days, and I couldn't go out? , Now that I have found a snowy day, I immediately brought some gifts to congratulate you."
Seeing Wanyan Yong congratulated him, Li Shi immediately thanked him: "Thank you so much, Your Majesty!"
He smiled and said: "Uncle, we are all one family, there is no need to be so formal and polite!"
Although this man is young, he speaks and acts like an adult. He speaks well and does things well. He speaks calmly and clearly. Li Shi can't help but admire him privately.
He asked the maid behind him to put down the gifts, then walked lightly to the crib. Seeing that the girl was extremely beautiful, he touched her cheek.
When he touched it, he felt something delicate and smooth, and when he saw the baby's eyes like a spiritual beast, a shy smile came to his heart and he asked: "Uncle, my cousin is extremely beautiful, what is her name?"
He picked up the baby girl on his broad shoulders and kept making her laugh.
Madam Wugulun looked a little tired, frowned slightly, raised her head and said to Li Shi, "Your Majesty, Qingya! Her name is Qingya!"
Mingxuan replied: "Qing Ya! What a good name, elegance means high and far-reaching, and Qing Jinzhao is waiting for you!"
Li Shi seemed to have been enlightened. He laughed and said, "Yes, exactly. Mingxuan has read poetry and books, and his thoughts have been enlightened."
Qingya looked at Wanyanyong, her eyes wide open and as clear as water, as if she had seen something strange.
When he saw this, he said: "Qingya is really beautiful!"
Li Shi suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said: "It looks good? How about waiting until she is older and becoming the king's concubine?"
He raised his head with shy cheeks: "But Wulu is already engaged to sister Mingxuan!"
Mingxuan looked at his red cheeks, then smiled softly: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I also like it when you have many Qingya accompanying you."
"That's right! When the late king was still alive, he made a promise with his fingertips, saying that if the child was a girl, he would promise it to the king. Now that the late king has passed away, we must not violate his wishes during his lifetime."
Wanyanyong was young. When he recalled his father's death last year, he couldn't help but look sad and red-rimmed. After a moment, he answered again: "I will follow my uncle's wishes. Wulu cannot forget his father's wishes before he died, so he will treat her accordingly." When you grow up, take her as your concubine."
He added: "Mingxuan and Wulu have been engaged since they were five years old. Now that they have Qingya, Wulu will definitely treat them well in the future."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and looked at the infant Qingya. As if he had found a treasure, he hugged Qingya and sat down on the small ridge beside him. He held her cheek in the palm of his hand, lowered his head and gently kissed her. A kiss fell on the swaddled Qingya's forehead.
Qingya closed her long eyelashes and waited obediently for the kiss. She rolled her big eyes and looked at him for a long time, then opened her small mouth and smiled, which made his whole heart melt.
He stared at her and said seriously: "Let Qingya be raised in the Yongguo Mansion from now on! The lonely king wants to watch her every day."
The boy's childish words made everyone laugh. The promise contained therein, although spoken lightly, has been lingering for decades. How can we know the days to come? It is just too far away. This beautiful and talented man has a dream in his youth, and his wish will come true.
The snow fell slightly outside the window, and the fire inside the window was warm. Wanyan looked at the infant girl with a smile. From then on, he had the first impression of this cousin. His eyes were like autumn waves, full of affection, and his heart was like a ball of fire. Generally burning.
About four years later, on another winter day, the palace of King Yong Yong was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. There was an uproar inside and outside the palace, guests were sitting in rows, and the door was crowded with nobles.
This day is the wedding day of Wan Yanyong, who has just turned eighteen, and his imperial concubine Wulin Mingxuan.
Along the neighborhood, I saw an old guard marching forward to welcome the bride. Wan Yanyong was riding a horse in front of him. He was wearing a scarlet suit and a veil hat on his head. He was riding fast with hooves on his face, his face glowing red, and he listened carefully to the people standing in Langfang Street talking to each other. Praise for this grand wedding.
After the completion of the beauty, Mingxuan's colorful sedan and ceremonial guard came. She had just turned eighteen, but she had already become a beauty that would dazzle the country. Her beautiful eyes were like spring water, her skin was like gelatin, and her eyebrows were like the moon. She was the most popular person in Huining City. She is known as "the most beautiful woman in Daikin".
As a newlywed, she wears a gorgeous dress. Her first dress is a flower crown, with a green rhododendron as the cover, green silk lined with gold and red rhodolia, nine flower plants on the front and back, and patterns such as peacocks and clouds and cranes. It is made of pearls covered with emerald powder and carved with gold. There are four temples on each side of the wings.
The clothes are made of Zhai clothes, made of green Luo, with red ribs on the collar and edges. If you look closely, you will see that the beautiful flowers are glowing by themselves, and when you smile, you look like a fairy concubine.
She held her red silk and gold tassel fan lightly and covered her face while weeping. She had been with him for many years, and now she finally got married to her childhood sweetheart. She was deeply moved and cried with joy. She just looked at the cold tears running down her cheeks. The pearls and flower make-up dripped down and fell on the gorgeous clothes.
At night, when all the guests dispersed, Wanyanyong entered the bridal chamber dressed in wedding clothes and saw Mingxuan sitting by the couch holding a fan.
He approached with affectionate eyes, raised his hand to fan, and saw the imperial concubine covered in red makeup, beautiful and beautiful, her red lips and bright eyes were so gentle to his heart, tears filled his eyes instantly when he saw her, and he couldn't explain it in words.
For a moment, he flicked Mingxuan's cheek: "Xuan'er, you are so beautiful, so beautiful that the lonely king is intoxicated."
She raised her eyes and smiled: "Your Majesty is handsome and unrestrained. My heart has already been given to Your Majesty."
The two looked at each other with tears in their eyes, clasped their hands and hugged each other tightly for a long time.
Suddenly I heard the voice of a flower girl outside the door: "The newlyweds are drinking Hexin wine!"
The newlyweds were sitting when they saw the flower girl walking in carrying a wedding tray with two silver cups for wine tied with red threads. Her face gradually appeared under the red candle. When she looked closely at the flower girl, she looked elegant. Wanyan Yong was delighted: "Why is Qingya here?"
Qingya is five years old. Her yellow hair has just covered her forehead. She only has two small braids with two small red flowers in her hair. She is dressed in a cute red dress. She speaks like an adult: "Auntie said, after seeing the bride, there is something wrong." I am blessed, so I have been sent to deliver wine and dumplings to my brother and sister-in-law! By the way, I want to see the bride and get some blessings. I hope that I will have a happy marriage in the future!"
Mingxuan was amused: "It's not like this kid has never seen his sister-in-law before."
"Isn't that right? It's a weekday, but today my sister-in-law is the bride, the most beautiful woman in the world!"
Qingya stood in front of the two of them, carefully watching them drink the combined wine with their arms crossed, and then placed the wine glass on the desk in a proper manner. She clasped her hands together and took the small bowl of dumplings from the hand of the nanny next to her, and gently Hold the dumpling with chopsticks and place it between Mingxuan's lips.
After she took a small bite, she took the remaining half and put it into Wanyanyong's mouth. She looked at him with big watery eyes and whispered privately: "My cousin looks very good in his wedding dress!"
She grinned and put the bowl down again and asked the two of them, "Can you give birth?"
Mingxuan was ecstatic: "Live, live!"
Wanyan Yongze looked at Qingya's slightly drooped eyebrows, paused and then said: "Sheng!"
"Then I wish the newlyweds a happy marriage and a son soon!"
After the ceremony, Mingxuan took Qingya's hand, gave her some golden beans and said: "We, Ya'er, saw the bride today, and we will definitely be blessed in the future. The same will happen when Ya'er grows up and comes to the country." beauty!"
Although she was young, she did understand the meaning. She glanced at her hand with some red marks, took it back and said with a smile, "Okay!"
Mingxuan tickled her nose and said, "The day you enter the palace will be the time when we get together as a family, and then we will be a proper family, eh?"
"Okay, okay, Qingya is also looking forward to that day."
She was still young and had no understanding of the feelings of her children. She only looked at her cousin, who was the groom.
Wan Yanyong knelt down and touched her little face, then kissed her on the forehead like before and said with a smile, "Qing Ya wants to be with your brother so much? Then grow up quickly."
After hearing this, her cheeks turned red and a hint of shyness appeared. She lowered her eyes and nodded gently, then raised her eyes to look at him: "Qingya is resigning!"
