Farewell to Zhu Yan

Chapter 5: Lantern

In the 53rd year of the Qingli calendar, the sage pro-appointed the newly promoted champion Lang Su Muqing as the son-in-law of Emperor Yongning, and bestowed a wedding ceremony on the [-]th day of the second day.

Emperor Ji Yongning went to the imperial study room alone with a spear in hand, put the gun on the table, and asked Xun Chen who was critiquing the memorial, "Brother Emperor, what do you mean?"

"You're not young anymore, it's time to start a family." Xun Chen calmly patted the dust on his shoulders, and changed his face for another memorial, "After all, the most important thing for a woman is to care for her husband and raise her children."

"Woman?" Emperor Ji Yongning raised her eyebrows, instead of being angry, she smiled, "Who saved Jiang Li when the barbarians came to fight? Who was on the battlefield? Who has been guarding Jiang Li?"

Empress Yongning lowered her head, looked at the calm emperor behind the table, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Now just because I am a woman, are all my efforts going to waste?"

Xun Chen didn't answer, and continued to correct the memorial indifferently.

"very good."

Emperor Yongning smiled and retracted the spear.

"elder brother."

After leaving this sentence, she turned around and left.

The emperor's pen trembled, and a large ink blot appeared.

The city is filled with lanterns, and the fireworks are dimmed.

The city is winding and majestic, shining with light and stars, thousands of lights are in full bloom, illuminating the dark night, lotus lanterns are placed on the lakeside, red carps are playing, and the ten-mile long street is very lively, prosperous and noisy.

Vermilion lanterns were hung all over the imperial city to celebrate the wedding day of Emperor Ji of Yongning.

Standing by the lakeside with few people, Xu Jingxin went to look at the huge royal city where the lights were dim, holding a plain silk umbrella with pine, bamboo and bone, white clothes and black hair, vaguely untainted by the world.

There are children laughing and putting lotus lanterns by the lake. The water waves are quiet and the wind is blowing, and the ever-burning lanterns in the sky are shining with bright red light.

A stick of candied haws suddenly came to the corner of Xu Jingxin's mouth, and she turned her head in astonishment, seeing the person who was supposed to be married today standing beside her with a snack like a child and smiling.

"...Liu Yan? You?" Xu Jingxin shed tears in a daze, but Yongning wiped them away with a smile.

"Fleeing marriage." Emperor Ji Yongning answered her with a smile.

The fireworks in the sky are alluring, and Emperor Ji Yongning gently kisses the corner of Xu Jingxin's lips.

"Liu Yan is willing to swear a sincere heart, and the city is full of lanterns as an engagement, Jing Xin is willing to marry me?"

The long silence was broken by Xu Jingxin's yell tinged with tears.

In the 53rd year of the Qingli calendar, there was a big wedding at the Lantern Festival. Princess Yongning and the number one scholar Su Muqing both escaped from marriage.

"Hahahahahaha, the young man didn't see it, it's fine!" Yongning Emperor Ji hugged Xu Jingxin who was blushing and couldn't help laughing, and Su Muqing next to her smiled softly.

On the day of their wedding, Emperor Ji Yongning and Xu Jingxin made love by the lakeside of the Lantern Festival, and Su Muqing hid silently in the opposite lantern pavilion.

It seems to have been premeditated.

Xu Zixuan, who was bent over, was still lying in Zuo Xiangfu.

Sitting behind the desk, Xun Chen's face was dark.

Empress Yongning laughed softly, looking at her imperial brother provocatively.

Su Muqing also said with a smile that he was thinking of his wife who planned to resign and return home.

The dark-faced Shengshang Xunchen didn't even slow down after approving the memorial for three days and three nights. It turns out that his imperial sister is a broken sleeve.

Xiao Dezi, a young eunuch beside Xun Chen who was grinding ink, corrected: "Your Majesty, that is a grinding/mirror."

Responding to him was the emperor's deep voice, "Shut up."

Xu Zixuan bowed his waist and took a sip of tea indifferently. He didn't express anything, but prepared the dowry for his daughter with tears in his eyes.

"It's called abduction."

Xu Zixuan supported his waist and gritted his teeth while chopping the camphor tree planted when Xu Jingxin was born to make a dowry box.

The maid was cleaning the sealing mud with her daughter Hong who had been buried for many years, and said helplessly, "Master, be careful..."

Xu Jingxin was sitting under the pink peach blossom tree in her small courtyard. The magnolia tree had withered its flowers and green leaves last night, leaving only a strong fragrance of flowers in the courtyard.

The pink flowers are crystal clear, exquisite and small, and the slender stamens are swaying in the wind.

Xu Jingxin held a scarlet cloak with a black collar and fox fur in his arms. The fox fur was so thin and soft that it was very slippery. It was a black fox that Emperor Ji Yongning killed in Xueling back then. The satin inside was made of double flower clusters. Brocade phoenix pattern, bright red kapok embroidered on the outside of the cloak, the branches are light brown and dark ink, twists and turns, and the hero flower cinnabar red luan on it is rich and gorgeous.

Xu Jingxin supported his head, not knowing what he was thinking of, he laughed softly, then lowered his head again, and continued to read the military manual written by Emperor Ji Yongning.

Emperor Ji Yongning is wearing silver armor and red clothes, holding a bow and shooting wild geese on the hunting ground as a memorial goose.

A little soldier frolicked and asked without fear, "Is the general getting married?"

Emperor Ji Yongning was picking up the bowstring, and replied without raising her head: "Marry a wife."

"Silly, didn't you see that the general was hunting wild geese?" The lieutenant said with a smile, "Which bride hunted wild geese by herself?"

……

Suddenly there was silence.

Xiao Bing swallowed, and asked: "... General, Di Ji?"

"Yes." Emperor Ji Yongning pulled the strings, raised her eyes and frowned at him, "Why are you so talkative?"

The lieutenant asked tremblingly, "Are you sure you're not marrying a husband?"

"It's said to marry a wife, the Holy Majesty personally decided, one or two have bad ears?" Yongning Emperor Ji raised her head and drew her bow, "I want to marry the daughter of Xu Zixuan, the current Prime Minister of the Left."

"Xu Jingxin."

The long arrow pierced through the air, killing two birds with one stone.

The sharp chisel precisely hit the wings of the two geese, stringing them together.

Emperor Yongning nodded in satisfaction, then thought of something, turned her head and said: "My wife was born in a scholarly family, and you will have a wedding wine for me to control yourself."

The soldiers behind them have not yet come to their senses.

The author has something to say: escape, time.
