Chapter 84：

Two days later, the honor guard of Princess Jingyang entered Chang'an City.

Tao Ti was pulled up from the bed by Linglong early in the morning and pressed to the vanity mirror to dress up.

To show respect, she put on a complete set of dresses regulated by the princess today. Although the materials are all silk, there are three layers inside and outside, plus complicated and gorgeous embroidery. The whole person is wrapped like a sweet white rice dumpling. .

In addition, Linglong combed her a complicated Luanfeng Lingyun bun. Her hair is thick and dense, and in order to hold up this bun, an extra chignon is needed.

After finally combing the bun, I wore a hair crown, gold and silver pearl hairpin, and even worn it on the neck, ears, and wrists...

From the gray Tianmao to Tianguang Daming, exquisitely relieved with a long sigh of relief, "Prince Princess, you are satisfied with your dressing up?"

Tao Ti raised his hand to support his heavy head and stared at the mirror for a while, feeling like a shiny money tree, which could crackle and drop gold after shaking it.

At the beginning of this year, Tao Ti was supported by Linglong and sat on the sedan chair to Ganlu Palace.

She raised her head and glanced at the blue, clear sky, and sighed softly. In the mid-summer of July, it would be fatal to dress like this.

The concubines of the fifth rank and above in the harem, the imperial wives of the fourth rank and above of the previous dynasty, and the family members of the princes and emperors are already waiting outside the Ganlu Palace, and several princesses have also arrived one after another.

Tao Ti's sedan chair stopped steadily, and when the crowd saw her, they all greeted her.

This is the first time Tao Ti has seen so many noble women, her heart is tense, but her face is calm, she put out a polite smile and nodded with them.

Regardless of whether you know or don't know, smile and you're done.

After walking around among the women, Tao Ti saw that they were all dressed in such a grand and complicated dress, and the resentment of being wrapped in rice dumplings early in the morning was also balanced a lot.

Everyone is just as miserable, and the sun will come out later, and we will have to dry it together.

Thinking of this, Tao Ti's sight couldn't help but fall to Pei Lingbi's face, thinking a little badly, this guy has such a thick makeup on his face, and the makeup will be dried up later, it's so terrible.

Pei Lingbi noticed the line of sight and swept over.

When Tao Ti saw her, she rolled her eyes and turned her face aside.

Tao Ti pursed her lips and didn't care.

Not long after, the dressed-up Queen Zhou came out with the help of the palace people. I saw that she was wearing a stone-blue gown embroidered with five phoenixes and Chaoyang, and she was wearing an exquisite and gorgeous phoenix crown. The pearl in the center of the phoenix crown was as big as a dove egg. Under the bright sunshine, it glowed brightly and cleanly. The luster is very eye-catching.

Everyone saluted Queen Zhou.

Zhou Huang Hou Zhuang smiled and motioned everyone to get up.

After a few polite remarks, a little **** soon came to report that it was Princess Jingyang’s guard of honor had arrived at Zhuquemen, and Emperor Zhaokang had gone from the Golden Dragon Palace to the Taiji Palace.

Empress Zhou responded, looked around, and said with a chuckle, "Then you can go to Taiji Palace with this palace."

As she said, she waved to Tao Ti again, smiling kindly, "Prince Princess, come, come to this palace."

Tao Ti Leng, who was silently reciting the mantra of "Mind Calm, Natural Cool", was not only called, but still a little confused, but when he reacted, he stepped forward.

Empress Zhou took Tao Ti's hand, "We wives go together, and we can talk on the road."

Tao Ti, "..."

Who is with your mother?

Pei Lingbi stared straight to the side, and Tao Ti's unbelievable look made Tao Ti inexplicably refreshed, and he agreed.

From Ganlu Palace to Taiji Palace, Tao Ti and Queen Zhou sat together in a spacious sedan chair, sheltered by a shed, and the sedan chair was filled with ice, which didn't feel hot.

Empress Zhou was caring for the prince's body along the way, Tao Ti answered according to the situation, and said more if she could, and she didn't mention more if she couldn't.

Talking so dry and awkwardly, they have survived all the way.

Upon arriving at the Taiji Palace, Emperor Zhaokang sat in the upper seat majesticly, with Pei Yan on his right hand side. The two princes, princes and nobles, and hundreds of civil and military officials of rank 4 and above were standing next to them.

In front of the huge square of Tai Chi Palace, the men gathered together, the female relatives stood together, and the dragon-patterned flags hunted in the wind.

When a group of honor guards slowly entered from Chengtianmen, grand ceremony and music sounded in the square.

It was Tao Ti who was so hot at this moment in a daze. When he heard the ritual music, he became a lot more awake, and opened his eyes to look down the stage——

Hey, this pomp is really big!

Three magnificent carriages stopped under the steps, and the graceful lady who came down first was Princess Jingyang. The next two vehicles were Xie Yunshi, the young master of the Jin State Government, and the owner of Qinghe County.

When I saw Princess Jingyang, Emperor Zhaokang's unsmiling face became a lot more kind. Three years later, when the brother and sister met again, their eyes were red.

Princess Jingyang is nearly forty years old and well maintained. She looks like she is in her early thirties. She is a mature and glamorous beauty.

She greeted Emperor Zhaokang warmly, and then asked Empress Zhou hello, her eyes fell on Pei Yan, and she looked up and down, nodding her head, "Yan'er looks taller than three years ago. Quite a lot, and my complexion has improved a lot."

The little father-in-law behind him and the Qinghe county lord who had just paid a respect to the emperor and the queen in an orderly manner, he heard his mother ask, "Yan'er, where is your newly married prince?"

Tao Ti is a joke.

When Princess Jingyang's family followed Pei Yan's gaze and looked towards her, her waist unconsciously stood up, hurriedly stepped forward, and paid a respectful greeting. Jinan Wanfu."

Princess Jingyang squinted her phoenix eyes and looked at it, before she said leisurely, "Well, it's a courteous person, get up."

At the same time Tao Ti got up, Xiao Gongye and Qinghe County Lord also saluted her.

Tao Ti returned the gift and looked calmly, only to see that the young man of Jin Guogong was handsome and clear, with extraordinary bearing, showing a kind of elegant demeanor of a scholar.

The county lord of Qinghe next to him, with shaved shoulders and slender waist, is petite, with a classically beautiful oval face, cheeks are freshly lit, his nose is greasy and goose fat, and the beauty is beautiful, but he is somewhat inadequate. , Like a blossoming orchid.

After seeing each other, the crowd returned to the temple to take their seats, and the palace people poured tea.

The main thing is that Emperor Zhaokang talked with Princess Jingyang. Queen Zhou occasionally added two or three sentences, while the others remained silent and just sat and listened peacefully.

After the happily short conversation, Emperor Zhaokang asked the Princess Jingyang and her family to go back to the palace to rest, and have a good conversation at the palace banquet in the evening.

The crowd dispersed in an orderly manner.

Tao Ti thought that Pei Yan was going to be busy, and planned to go home by herself, but didn't want to hear Pei Yan call her name before she reached the sedan chair.

Holding her heavy hair bun, she slowly turned her head and saw him walking towards her, her black eyes widened, "Your Majesty, are you busy?"

Pei Yan stood still in front of her and said lightly, "Well, accompany you back to the palace first."

With that said, he helped Tao Ti get on the sedan chair first, and then got on too.

After sitting down, Pei Yan took out the veil from his sleeve and wiped her sweat naturally, "Tired, right?"

Tao Ti enjoyed his intimate and tenderness and smiled at him with his eyes bent, "I won't be tired if your Royal Highness wipes the sweat for me."

Pei Yan lowered his eyebrows and smiled.

As soon as he returned to the Yaoguang Hall, Tao Ti let himself go, walking and taking off, still shouting, "It's so hot, it's so hot..."

Linglong followed and picked it up all the way, repeatedly trying to remind the princess to pay attention to her image, but seeing that the princess did not feel uncomfortable, but gently walked to the dressing mirror to remove the princess's bun, and Linglong silently chose to shut up , I went back after picking up the clothes.

Pei Yan took off the pearl hairpin for Tao Ti without rushing, and when the last long hairpin was pulled out, the green silk hung down like splashed ink, with a faint fragrance lingering around the tip of his nose.

Tao Ti raised his hand and rubbed his neck, muttering softly, "The neck is about to be broken."

The voice hadn't died yet, a pair of slender and cold hands touched her shoulders and neck.

Tao Ti was stunned.

Pei Yan had already massaged her, and his voice sounded softly, "Will this intensity be heavier?"

Tao Ti blinked, raised his hand, held his hand, raised a small white face, and said softly, "His Royal Highness, you don't need to pinch it for me, you have been tired all morning..."

Pei Yan looked at her quietly with a smile on his brows, "Pinch it to the lady, not tired."

His words instantly pulled Tao Ti back to the days when he was still in Taoyuan Village. Those plain and stable days are really...remembering them.

Pei Yan pinched Tao Ti's shoulders and necks, Tao Ti felt comfortable, and went to beat him back.

The weather was hot, the two of them had a meal of cold sophora leaves and took a nap.

But when Tao Ti woke up, Pei Yan was gone. When I asked Linglong, I realized that not long after she was asleep, Pei Yan left quietly and went back to the Zixiao Hall to handle official duties.

Tao Ti's heart warmed when she heard this, and she couldn't help worrying about Pei Yan's body.

With so many official duties every day, can his body survive? The emperor did the same, he didn't know how to send less work to the prince!

………

The sky was a little dark, the lanterns were on, and the palace people were busy with various pastries and drinks.

At the palace banquet, the sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra was magnificent, singing and dancing gracefully, and the atmosphere was peaceful and peaceful.

Emperor Zhaokang is in the upper seat, Queen Zhou is on the left, and Princess Jingyang is on the right.

Probably to promote feelings, Emperor Zhaokang asked Pei Yan and Xie Xiaogong to sit together, and Tao Ti and Qinghe County Lord to sit together.

At this time, Tao Ti has changed into another outfit, wearing an emerald green palace dress with a waist, her hair is also combed back into a dignified concentric bun, with a set of pearl jewelry, but the whole person looks refreshing and gentle.

The county lord of Qinghe also changed his outfit, wearing a simple and elegant blue dress, combing an unmarried girl's hair bun. It should have been a rest in the afternoon, and her complexion now looks better than in the morning.

Although the host of Qinghe County was already in time, her face was very small. She didn't talk much, and after softly calling Tao Ti "Cousin", she sat quietly.

Seeing her timid and polite appearance, Tao Ti felt a little good, and took the initiative to find a topic to chat with her, "The county owner, would you like to try these three fresh bamboo shoots fried quazi, it tastes pretty good." "

Qinghe was a little surprised, her jet-black eyes looked towards Tao Ti, apparently she didn't expect that she would have a conversation with herself——

On the way here, the mother repeatedly warned that the princess and her mother were domineering and arrogant, and the daughters they gave birth were definitely not easy to get along with.

But now it seems that it is not what the mother said.

Qinghe blinked his eyes and said softly, "Then I will try it."

She grabbed a piece of chopsticks, tasted it, put down the chopsticks, and smiled at Tao Ti, "It's pretty good."

Tao Ti said again, "Then do you want to taste this sweet-scented osmanthus wine?"

Qing He was startled, shook his head and said, "I can't drink."

Tao Ti said, "This wine is not intoxicating, and the wine that our wife drinks is different from theirs."

Qinghe smiled apologetically, "No wonder my cousin, I have been suffering from a deficiency since I was a child, and I have been taking medicine, so I can't drink alcohol."

Tao Ti was startled. No wonder when she saw her, she felt that she was soft and weak. It turned out that she was really in poor health.

Hey, just like Pei Yan, they are all pitiful.

"Then don't drink it, I'll let them change the pot of warm water for you." Tao Ti smiled comfortingly at her and turned to the palace man.

When she turned her head, she saw Qing He staring at her with a strange expression.

Tao Ti asked, "What's wrong?"

Qinghe shook his head and smiled, "Thank you cousin."

"Hey, why are you so polite." Tao Ti waved his hand and chatted with her about other things.

In the seat, the princess Jingyang glanced at the audience and saw that the little princess and her Qinghe were talking very happily. On the other side, her good nephew looked at the little princess from time to time for fear of being small. The daughter-in-law ran away.

Jing Yang raised his eyebrows and said in his heart:

Zhang Yunsu is a pretty and unreasonable woman, but she gave birth to a pretty good daughter.

And Gu Yuan, although his temper is weak and pretending, he is quite accurate in picking his daughter-in-law.
