Emperor's Trophy

Yun Zhen fell into a deep sleep, feeling like he didn't know the time.

Ji Bingyuan had been dealing with affairs in the previous court. Ding Dai came back in a hurry, and when he saw him, he only briefly talked about the progress of the current trial, and then watched him serve his lunch, and left in a hurry.

Everyone in the palace seems to be very busy, only he suddenly got idle, a little bored, but Ding Dai also warned him not to go back to the mansion, now many people are bumping around to inquire about the case, he still said he was injured and recuperated in the palace That's enough, so in the end he could only go to the imperial study and flip through the books.

The emperor was busy until the dinner, but he still ate the dinner alone.

He was originally a person who couldn't sit still. He was so bored that he rolled on the dragon bed alone, waiting for the emperor to finally fall asleep alone.

Then in the middle of the night, in a daze, Ji Bingyuan hugged him up and put clothes on him.

He woke up, looking at Ji Bingyuan still a little confused: "Your Majesty?"

In the light of the lights, the emperor was wearing a black sacrificial twelfth chapter gown, and the crown was not yet on. He was fixing his pajamas for him, and when he saw him wake up, he smiled slightly: "Get up, and accompany me to the Taimiao."

Yun Zhen is still in a dream, dazed, there are many etiquettes in the palace, and he has to sacrifice at every turn. He used to be an imperial guard and accompanied him to the Taimiao to sacrifice. He didn't think too much, and talked to Ji Bingyuan with a smile : "Your Majesty, life is boundless."

Ji Bingyuan reached out and touched his lips: "What birthday gift does Zi Tong have for me?"

Yun Zhen said: "Mr. Zhang is prepared."

Ji Bingyuan said: "That's too careless."

Yun Zhen said: "Then what does the emperor want? All the subjects are given by the emperor."

Ji Bingyuan said: "Today, you are obedient and obedient, and you can do whatever you want."

Yun Zhen giggled: "Which day will the minister not listen to the emperor's words?"

Ji Bingyuan kissed him on the forehead: "It's a deal."

He only saw that Qingsong and a group of palace servants had come forward to help him out to wash his face and comb his hair. He was surprised when he saw that a room full of palace servants had already been densely packed under the stairs. Surprised by the various clothes and accessories, he turned his head and saw that a group of people had gathered around Ji Bingyuan to put on the crown for him. Knowing that it was a dress, they felt a little sympathetic: "These clothes are heavy."

Ji Bingyuan stretched out his arms and waited for the palace man to tie his belt for him, then turned his head and smiled at him slightly: "It's okay, it will be soon, you persevere."

Yun Zhen always felt that his coaxing tone was a bit strange, but the palace servants brought up the copper basin, so he had to reach for a towel to wash himself, afterward Qingsong brought a bowl of bird's nest soup for him to drink in a few sips, and then the palace servants They rushed up, surrounded him and began to dress him.

Yun Zhen felt a little strange: "Is it so grand today? Why doesn't it look like my official uniform."

Ji Bingyuan said: "The empress wants to accompany me to worship the ancestors, so naturally she should dress more solemnly."

Before Yun Zhen could react, he saw that the palace people had already put on a layer of jade-colored gauze mid-sole and blue-black collar for him briskly, and then the two court ladies took a dark blue wide-sleeved Zhai gown and put it on him. After wearing it, there are layers of jade and accessories on the top of the belt. The skirt is dark red, woven with colorful woven dragon patterns, and the dark blue body is woven with pairs of colored Zhai patterns.

Seeing his doubts getting deeper and deeper, his clothes were put on quickly, the palace people asked him to sit down, knelt down and put on his boots for him, and someone brought up a crown of nine dragons and four phoenixes, which was shining brightly, and Ji Bingyuan waved his hand to kill him. The palace servant who stepped forward stepped back, went up and took the crown himself, and said to him, "I'm here to wear the crown for the empress."

Yun Zhen finally realized belatedly, this is the queen's phoenix crown!No, this whole set is the Zhai Yi dress worn by the empress!He suddenly wanted to get up, but Ji Bingyuan pressed his shoulders: "Don't move around, be careful, the clothes are broken, they were made in a hurry, if they are dirty, you can't find a second set."

After speaking, she put the phoenix crown on his head, then reached out to adjust the tightness for him, looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "My queen is really beautiful."

Yun Zhen looked at Ji Bingyuan's serious look. He had already put on the twelve chapter crown, and the twelve stalks of jade beads covered his handsome face, but he could still see his focused and serious eyes staring at him. How to react, the room is full of palace people, he would never dare to disobey the emperor face to face, he just whispered: "Your Majesty, are you joking with my ministers? Sacrifice is important..." No way Is it because I saw the women's clothing I was wearing yesterday, and suddenly became interested in letting myself wear the queen's attire?

This is the Longevity Festival, and he is about to go to the Taimiao to worship the sky and ancestors. I want to see him wearing women's clothing. When can't I choose this time?The emperor has always been deep and serious, he doesn't seem like someone who would make such a big joke.

Ji Bingyuan smiled softly: "Listen to me obediently, I will reward you tonight." After speaking, she took a piece of crystal-clear Yugugui from a tray held by a palace man at the side, and handed it to him: "Take it I'm going to hold it for a while, so don't drop it."

Yun Zhen took the piece of warm jade, and his whole body was numb. He didn't know what the emperor was thinking, but he saw Ji Bingyuan stepped forward to help him up, and came out holding his hand. With his hand on the car, after sitting firmly, the car started to move slowly, and started to go to the imperial temple.

Yun Zhen felt a little nervous, and turned his head to look at Ji Bingyuan a few times. Ji Bingyuan had been sitting upright, and when he noticed that he turned his head, he smiled slightly, and reached out to hold his hand to comfort him: "I'll be there in a while."

Yun Zhen said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't make fun of me."

Ji Bingyuan said: "Do I look like someone who often jokes? Be safe and listen to me."

Yun Zhen: ...

So what is this all about?He wouldn't really want to go to the Taimiao in this queen's dress, would he?

When the chariot arrived at the Taimiao, Ji Bingyuan took his men out of the chariot, and actually led him all the way on the vermilion carpet, from the east curtain of the Jimen Gate, into the imperial temple, and in front of the gate of the Taimiao. I couldn't help but glanced down the steps, the sky was still very dark, but I could still see hundreds of court officials, princes and ministers, all dressed in solemn sacrificial attires.

His heart trembled slightly, he felt that he could hardly walk, Ji Bingyuan held his hand tightly, and led him into the Taimiao.

In the Taimiao, in front of the head of the gods, all kinds of sacrifices have been placed, cigarettes are curling up, and candles are flickering.

Old Prince An, the patriarch of the Ji Clan, stood at the head, seeing them coming in, he was not surprised at all, but held Yu Gui solemnly and said: "Welcome God, kneel—"

Ji Bingyuan led him to kneel down and performed four prostrations and three kowtows to welcome the gods, and then there were all kinds of complicated etiquette, the first offering, the second offering, the final offering, and the withdrawal of food. , bow down, kowtow, get up.

I have no idea what I'm doing.

Old An Wang began to read the long Zhu Wen respectfully with his voice, but Yun Zhen couldn't understand a single sentence, and only heard the last few sentences "... use the love of Shen Zhuo, and enjoy it."

Continue to start four prayers, burning coins and silk.

Started to read the long congratulations again.

Send the emperor to God.

The smell of burning incense candles and banknotes filled the wide and deep hall, and countless gorgeous curtains hung quietly. Yun Zhen followed Ji Bingyuan to worship and kowtow devoutly, as if the spiritual seats of countless emperors and queens above were silently in the void. watch them.

It was as if he had really been blessed by the gods.

At the end of the ceremony, Ji Bingyuan took his hand and came out of the Taimiao again, and boarded the carriage back to Luan.

After getting into the car, Yun Zhen seemed to relax, heaved a long sigh of relief, feeling heavy sweat on his back, Ji Bingyuan turned his head and smiled slightly, and put his arms around his waist: "Are you tired?"

Yun Zhen whispered: "Your Majesty, you are too nonsense, and Zong Ling Wang is also letting you?"

Ji Bingyuan said: "I have already added your name to the golden book of the ancestral temple, and today I have also sued the ancestors. From now on, you will be my Empress Yun."

Yun Zhen looked at him in horror: "Your Majesty, are you joking?"

Ji Bingyuan said: "I'm not joking. You are so easygoing. If you really want to announce to the world that you have been established as a male queen, you probably won't live a quiet life in the future, and there is no rush. Sacrifice to the ancestral temple and tell the ancestors that this must be done. In the future, after a hundred years, your god will also enter here and be worshiped by my descendants of the Ji family. In my mausoleum, there will also be a place for you to be buried together."

Yun Zhen looked at him in astonishment, and was stunned.

Ji Bingyuan patted his head, thinking, at least in this life, if Zhu Jiang didn't take the lead, wouldn't it be a joint marriage?I can too.

Although he won't admit it, it was indeed the night before when he saw him in women's clothing that he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of asking him to wear a queen's dress to sacrifice.

I was busy all day yesterday, rushing to make dresses, tiaras, and jade kui. These are trivial matters. The important thing is that Zong Ling Lao An Wang let go of his mouth and allowed him to establish a male queen. Choose a clever young heir in the line as the adoptive reserve.

None of this is worth mentioning.

All the busy work and exhaustion disappeared today when I saw Yun Zhen wearing the queen's dress and following him to worship in the Taimiao.

He is now filled with satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment.

The car stopped, Ji Bingyuan got out of the car with Yun Zhen again, Yun Zhen was still in shock, followed him out of the car dazedly, and entered the main hall of Tiren Palace.

Ji Bingyuan took him by the hand to the center of the hall, and the palace people held the imperial wine beside them and filled the wine bottle.

Ji Bingyuan took his hand, smiled and said to him: "It's the queen's turn to congratulate me on my birthday—it's a pity that there are no concubines of the six palaces and wives of hundreds of officials to lead you, but I only need you alone, the queen's congratulations After that, I will go back to the previous court to accept the congratulations from all the officials."

Yun Zhen stood at the bottom blankly, watching Ji Bingyuan smiling at him, waiting patiently, the palace man handed the wine bottle into his hand, and he raised the wine bottle: "The emperor..." He should say that the emperor has no bounds, life is as long as the sky neat.

But he suddenly choked up and couldn't speak, his eyes blurred instantly, and the tears fell down completely disobediently.

Ji Bingyuan laughed, took the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, put the wine glass back on the palace servant's tray, and with a slight wave of his hand, all the palace servants and servants retreated.

Ji Bingyuan hugged Yun Zhen, and Yun Zhen buried his head in it, feeling sore and unbearably excited, and burst into tears.

Ji Bingyuan hugged him for a while, seeing that the child was choking with sobs, he couldn't hold it back for a while, so he had to carry him into the back hall, put him on the couch, and kissed his chin once.

The kiss made his cheeks flushed, his whole body was weak, and his eyes were still full of tears, just watching him panting, Ji Bingyuan hugged him on his lap and smiled: "My queen, she is really a little too young. "

The young body was already moved by just such a kiss, and his face flushed red again after he said that, it was really pitiful and cute.

Ji Bingyuan untied his Di clothes, reached inside, and kissed him deeply again.

The deep kiss between the two was a bit irresistible. The empress had been celebrating her birthday for half an hour, and almost missed the time to accept the congratulations from all the officials.

When Ji Bingyuan came out in full clothes to accept princes and ministers and envoys from various countries to pay homage, she was still distracted.

In the Fengtian Hall, he was sitting in a high dragon chair, listening to the chanting of the officials, all the officials bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to pay respects to his birthday, the prime minister recited the eulogy table loudly, the voice was sonorous, and the flowers were full of flowers.The envoys from all over the world came in to present birthday gifts, the bells and drums sounded in unison, the great music of Danbi was played, the Qingping was upright, nine plays and three dances, and all officials danced and shouted.

Let the whole world celebrate together, and congratulate their king on longevity.

What he was thinking about was the pitiful red and swollen eyes of the empress just now and the slender and smooth legs under the Di clothes that slipped to the ground.

The empress is newly appointed, it's time for more luck, and she must not be left out in the cold.
