I felt heavy from head to toe, but when I thought about having a consort in the future, I happily rolled up my sleeves and wore my favorite pear flower by my temples. However, when I went out, I was aborted by Nian Gu. She said that how could I bring white pear blossoms when I married the Imperial Consort? This was too unlucky and she forbade me from wearing it.
I rode on the big horse's head. The big horse's head was Bai Yuan's brother. It was purebred and stronger than Bai Yuan, and its legs were fast. Both of them had been presented to him by foreign countries decades ago, and they both had beautiful black and shiny hair.
"The pear blossoms are all white!" Although there were pink ones, it was not important now. I sat on the big horse's head and protested very seriously. Nian Gu rode on the horse and rolled her eyes at me.
When I went to Youzhou to pick him up, thousands of people gathered on the main road. Of course, they didn't come to see me, but to see Zhang Xiaomang.
I remember watching his tour from afar, but I couldn't get the front seat every time. At that time, I always sighed. I wanted to see him just like everyone else. However, at this moment, his motorcade was slowly walking towards me. I felt a very nervous but very relieved feeling in my heart.
People say that friends become official, but does this count as a fan becoming official?
The emissary of the Northern Dynasty came down from his horse. He first led the bridal procession to kowtow to me, then handed over a large number of congratulatory gifts. Two-thirds of the congratulatory gifts were from the Blessed Hall, and the other one-third was from the Northern Dynasty's Imperial Family. In other words, Feng Tianjiao gave them to me to play with.
I remembered that Yu Quan 'er had told me that day in the Jiaofang that Noble Consort Zhang was the adopted son of the old master of the Blessed Hall. Now that the old master had passed away, the new master was still a half-grown baby, just like me. Over the years, Noble Consort Zhang had been in charge of many of the hall's affairs. In the eyes of the Blessed Hall and its many followers, he was probably half a hall master. He had also worked hard for many years for this. Now that he thought about it, how could he not give her more dowry?
He's in the carriage, I can't see him, and if he doesn't stick his head out, he can't see me.
My heart felt a little itchy. The envoy of the North Dynasty had finally finished saying everything he needed to say. The carriage came over. He didn't bring anyone close to him, only a coachman.
Then, I'll have to arrange for more people to accompany him when he returns to the palace.
The carriage was slowly driven by the coachman. Everyone watched as his carriage arrived in front of my honor guard. The coachman got out of the carriage and bowed to me. I originally thought that Noble Consort Zhang would also get out of the carriage, but after the coachman bowed, he returned to the carriage. No one got out again, and I didn't see him.
This is good too. So many people are watching. There will be a day like this in my life. Perhaps he will only show it to me.
"Emperor, do you think he's too old?”Little Gong Er asked me from the side. I thought it was good that she could be so straightforward. I liked it very much. I plan to take the imperial concubine back and transfer her from Niangu's hands to me to talk to me.
"It's alright." I pretended to wave my hand generously, not realizing how wretched the smile on my face was. Actually, I was thinking that a man's thirty-one flowers.
The guards of honor began to walk back. Nian Gu and her subordinates were extremely careful, afraid that there would be hidden arrows on the way back. However, the open air was filled with wilderness, and there was really no possibility of anyone committing murder. Once again, I was impressed by the place I had chosen.
This way, I can think about the secrets in my heart in peace and not always worry about losing my life on a trip out.
I took out the small pear flower hidden in my sleeve. It was the one that Nian Gu had knocked off before she went out. I secretly picked it up again.
I quietly placed the white pear flower by his window. Some time ago, the temperature in the Southern Dynasty warmed up, and flowers were abundant. That year, I set off from Dayuan to Jinling to pay my respects to my grandfather. After paying my respects, I immediately rushed back to the capital. On the way back, I secretly stole it and rushed to watch his performance in Jinling. When it was about to close, I really wanted to give him a flower, but he had too many fans. I couldn't squeeze in at all. I could only watch him from afar and couldn't give him the flower in my hand.
Now, this pear flower was sitting on the window frame of his carriage, bouncing along with the returning bridal procession. It was very cute.
I couldn't see his face through the small curtain, but I remembered his good-looking appearance.
I knew that I was in a good mood at this moment. Although the sun was scorching in Youzhou Province today, I felt the sunshine falling on my shoulder was very tender.
I originally wanted to ride on the horse and stay on the same level as him for a while, but Nian Gu turned back to greet me. She felt that I shouldn't always stay in the middle of the team.
My horse was pulled back to the front of the team by Nian Gu. There was no Noble Consort Zhang's carriage beside me. I could only look at the distant mountain and secretly think in my heart, will he miss home in the future?
The journey was smooth and uneventful. When they returned to the border between the north and south cities of Da Yuan, almost all the people of Da Yuan had come to join in the fun. Nian Gu and her subordinates had no choice but to chase them away quickly, but they could not do anything about the enthusiasm of the people towards Zhang Xiaomang.
I took off the flower petals and copper coins hanging on my female crown and let out a long sigh. We had finally arrived at the Southern City's Imperial Palace.
When we entered the palace, it was already late. I was blindfolded by a red cloth in the hands of a palace maid, and then I was invited back to the main hall of my Changle Palace. Although my eyesight isn't very good, my ears are good. I can judge from the sound that the Imperial Consort has also been brought into the palace opposite Changle Palace. As expected, it's Weiyang Palace.
I was still wearing the gown that Nian Gu said was from Old Lady Zheng's wedding. I sat alone on my bed.
I could only recall the lively scene when I entered the palace just now.
The moment I entered the palace, all the officials and men around me rushed towards me. After all, they rarely had the chance to see me. It could even be said that we lived in the same house, but we were neighbors who had never seen each other.
Today, I came back with a new consort. They, who usually don't interact with me, also came to watch and see something new. I could understand this. After all, I married Zhang Xiaomang. Everyone in the Great Zhou knew about it and wanted to come and take a look.
After experiencing the 'accidental injury' caused by money and flowers, I understood this point even more.
Ever since I ascended the throne, although the court and the people had stuffed me with many boys, each of whom looked like Pan An, I had never made any man a concubine because I did not like to have many complicated in-laws, whether it was for the sake of the court or to protect my insignificant innocence.
Noble Consort Zhang was the only exception among the living.
I only watched the boys who were sent to the palace play and dance, and I always felt that some of them were not as good at singing as I was. After appreciating their talents, I will bestow them with an official position so that they can have a living in this huge palace and not only sell their bodies to me.
To be honest, they are beautiful, but I always feel that they lack a spirit.
I only have one empress, and she should be a wonderful person. If I can really see her, I will definitely confirm this thought again. It's a pity that the heavens probably won't give me such a good opportunity.
Today should be my wedding night with Noble Consort Zhang, but I used this gap in my daze to think of my Empress who had passed away many years ago.
His family was famous in our grandfather's generation. Their family was even related to my grandmother's family. It was also at that time that he and I were engaged. At that time, I was only born and he was nearly ten years older than me.
I've always heard of him, and I've always thought of him during my lonely and thin years of growing up. Sometimes, I'll dream of him and hear that he's always talking about me.
I was not old enough to get married when he left the world. I think he should have passed his brilliant youth and grown into a handsome young man. Unfortunately, when I rushed over, I only saw his coffin parked beside the tomb.
This was the truth. I realized that there was nothing I could do, but I couldn't suppress the sadness in my heart.
I could only make him my only empress ten years after I ascended the throne. The title was Chen Se. At that time, the entire world did not understand this matter. Almost all the people in the court were opposed, especially those officials who had sons who were still discussing marriage. However, in my heart, no one could change this matter. I'm just willing to be stubborn about this.
Such a soul that I could not meet once lingered in my heart for a long time, and even now, on many occasions that might not be appropriate, I would suddenly think of his existence.
In the later parts of my life, every time I encountered difficulties, I would always think of him. He was the person who should have married me when we were about the same age. Whenever I felt that I couldn't hold on any longer, I would always hear him talking to me and calling my name.
Ji Shenyang, it's still me.
Actually, I've always missed my Empress. It's too rare to encounter such a friendship that has accompanied me all the way since I was young. Even if he never appeared in my life, I would always sigh at the portrait that might look like him.
" If only you could be by my side." I've been saying this all these years.
If you want to tell the story from here, then we can directly skip the progress bar.
A few months later, I realized that Noble Consort Zhang was an exception to the rule regarding spiritual energy.
Ever since Noble Consort Zhang came to my side tonight, I discovered a very, very terrifying thing. I actually felt that he was very similar to my Empress, who had passed away many years ago.
Not only did he wear similar clothes, but his height and age were also similar. Even his appearance was similar to the young man in the painting that I painstakingly collected according to the description of the servant who might look like the Empress.
What was even more bizarre was that there was once a harem gathering. When I passed by the Ye Court, I heard the Imperial Consort singing loudly in the crowd. The content of the song was exactly the same as the longing for each other that the Empress and I had experienced together.
Later, when he asked him about the song, he said that when he was popular, someone else had written a few verses for him to see according to the score and human feelings. He had chosen this song himself, and this song was also the first to come to him.
Could it be that the heavens have pity on me for being innocent all my life?），Courage to act (question mark yourself?) You're willing to return the person I've been longing for?
I didn't dare to think that. I was afraid that it would be another huge disappointment.
I will never forget the seemingly vague but extremely profound past between me and the Empress. Even if it's an ethereal future, I hope to always hide it in my heart and bring it anywhere in the world. I hope he can wait for me to come back, or give me a chance to look for him again, so that I can see him one last time.
However, how can I overcome reality?
The progress bar still pulled back to the night of my wedding with Noble Consort Zhang.
My mood became a little heavy as I thought about these things. Coupled with my mischievous personality, how could I sit still?
I quietly untied the knot on the red scarf behind my head, put down the female crown on my head, and ran to the entrance of Changle Palace to take a look. There was still no movement on the other side. I realized that even some of my men had gone to Weiyang Palace.
Could he be doing some superstitious bad thing to the bride? Worried, I quietly pushed open the gate of Changle Palace. Sure enough, I saw almost all the palace maids, eunuchs, and guards I knew. The leader was Niangu. They were all gathered in the main hall. Zhang Xiaomang was sitting in the main seat, wearing a red coat.
I hadn't seen him for a long time. The moment I saw his face clearly, I felt that he seemed very calm and didn't seem to be being tortured.
The leader, Nian Gu, searched his body. Her expression seemed to have already checked once, but she was still very worried.
What was everyone worried about? Would he have ulterior motives towards me?
I think I should be the one who has ulterior motives.
I wiped my nose and stopped criticizing my actions in my heart. I coughed. The people in the hall saw me walking over with my hands behind my back and my hips. Someone exclaimed in a low voice.
Nian Gu was shocked." Why is Your Majesty here? Now is not the time to meet."
Eunuch Yan reminded him softly," That's the etiquette of marrying the first prince. You don't have to follow it today."”
Nian Gu fell silent after hearing that. However, she and the people around her did not have anything in their hands. At this moment, Noble Consort Zhang was still looking at her calmly. After I came in, he didn't even look at me.
"Everyone, disperse." Nian Gu gave the order and waved her hand. The palace people all dispersed.
Noble Consort Zhang stood up from her chair and walked straight to the couch in the inner room. The newly installed curtains were pulled up wherever he passed, as elegant as his clothes.
"In that case, the two of you should rest early.”Nian Gu looked at me and then looked at the inner room worriedly. She patted my shoulder and bowed to us before walking out of the door with Eunuch Yan.
When I heard her say the word "sleep well", I began to feel uneasy. After the two of them went out together, I became even more restless.
I turned my head and glanced at the inner room. Noble Consort Zhang was taking off her clothes that were thicker than mine. I was so scared that I quickly turned my head and picked up the teacup to take a big gulp. Before I could drink the water, the teacup turned over in my disobedient hand.
" Pa da-" At this moment, an invisible dark cloud of embarrassment covered my head and my small eyes widened. From the corner of my eye, I could see that Noble Consort Zhang had already stopped taking off her clothes and was looking at me.
I didn't dare to open my eyes to look at him, so I could only remain in a stalemate. However, it just so happened that I was someone who was good at breaking the awkwardness. After a few seconds of silence, I suddenly stood up and almost fell back. Fortunately, I held onto the chair handle.
"Ah!" I said," Well, I'll go and see if they've gone far.”
Of course, he wouldn't pay attention to me. After I finished speaking, I quickly walked out of the door. I didn't forget to lift my skirt. I couldn't fall down again at this time.
Of course, he had gone far away. I squatted down at the palace gate and scratched my head. In my mind, I even hoped that he would take this opportunity to lock the door first. After all, I might not be able to control myself.
Who said that he should experience this after becoming my imperial consort? Who said that? He doesn't like me, and he definitely doesn't like being searched like this, and I'm the one who brought all this to him.
I shuffled back very slowly. The wind had blown the door half closed, but now it was almost completely closed. I gently pushed it again, and it was still able to move.
He didn't lock the door again. I was the one who wasn't ready.
I leaned my back against the door and held my breath to listen carefully to his movements in the room. It was quiet at first, but after he took a few steps, there was no more sound.
I turned around to look at the window and found that the bedroom lights in Weiyang Palace had been turned off. I sighed and could only linger at the door.
I thought about what I should think about, but I didn't know what he was thinking at the moment. I think it would be good if he didn't think about anything and just went to sleep. After all, everyone was tired from the day.
I found myself wondering what he was thinking and what he needed.
I didn't enter Weiyang Palace again. I turned around and walked back to my Changle Palace. There was still no one in Changle Palace. I tossed and turned in bed, exercising several times, but I couldn't fall asleep. I had to get up and sit with my head in my hand, fighting against my sobriety. I didn't fall asleep until late at night.
