Peach Blossom Song

After five drums were beaten, lamps were lit one after another in the palace, first the servants lived in the lower room, then the kitchen, and then spread to all parts of the palace.The lights are dotted together, which is different from the laziness of the lights at night. At this time, the sky is about to dawn and the sun is about to rise, which is the most radiant time of the day.

In the sleeping hall, it was still quiet until dawn, when a line of maidservants waited outside the door holding the washing things. The leading maidservant knocked on the door and called softly twice. After a while, the door opened from the inside.

The princess stood in the door and beckoned them to enter.

The maidservants filed in and lined up in two rows in the outer hall. First they served the princess to wash and change her clothes. There might be the sound of water in the middle, but no one said a word.

After a while, the concubine had changed her clothes and put on makeup, but there was still no sound in the inner room, the leading servant girl stepped forward and reminded in a low voice: "Concubine, it's time to call Your Highness."

Today's brides are getting started, they still need to go to the ancestral temple to pay homage to their ancestors.

The princess nodded slightly, walked around the screen, and stepped into the inner room.

The light in the inner room was dim, and on the large bed inside, the King of Han was nestled in the brocade quilt, fast asleep.

The concubine sat next to her, and after she was patted on the body by Jin, she called softly: "Your Highness, it's time to get up."

The King of Han was disturbed and opened his blurred eyes. She was still sleepy and her face was chaotic. The Princess watched from the side without urging her, just waiting for her to wake up.

A small hand poked out from the brocade quilt and grabbed the skirt of the princess. The other hand rubbed his sleepy eyes and struggled to get up. His confused eyes looked around and finally landed on the person beside him. , asked in a daze: "What time is it?"

The princess replied softly: "It's already past Maochu."

The King of Han nodded, but she was still in a daze, and sat on the couch for a while.After a night of sleep, the neatly combed hair was also messed up.A few strands of hair protruded out of her little head disobediently, looking dumb and very cute.

The concubine held back, but in the end she couldn't hold back, raised her hand to stroke the dull hairs on the back of her head, and said softly: "If your highness is awake, get up."

Before Hanwang realized that his head was touched, he raised his hand and rubbed his eyes for a while, lifted the brocade quilt, and stepped his bare feet on the floor.

In late autumn, the chill was in full swing. Even though the room was warm, the floor was still cold. As soon as Hanwang's toes touched the ground, he quickly shrank back.

"It's so cold..." she mumbled.

The princess was helpless, and said softly: "Your Highness, wait a moment."

Standing up, he took out a new pair of white socks from among the newly delivered clothes, and said, "Your Highness, put on the socks first."

Han Wang Jing had already regained consciousness a lot from that cold, so she took the white socks and put them on.

The concubine handed her the rest of the clothes, and she put them on one by one.Today, when I want to visit the ancestral temple, I wear a purple official uniform, a gold and jade belt, and a far-reaching crown.

The king of Han put on his clothes neatly and woke up. She smiled at the princess, "Thank you, princess."

The princess also smiled back: "Your Highness, go wash up."

After getting up in the morning, it is breakfast.

The two went to the front hall for dinner.All the servants and servants greeted them with smiles on their faces.The family order had already been waiting in front of the hall. Seeing His Royal Highness and the princess coming together, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The car is ready. Your Highness and the princess have had breakfast before they can board the car and go to the ancestral temple."

The King of Han nodded and looked at the princess.The concubine said: "There is an order from the Lao family to take care of it."

The family order was busy talking about their duties, then moved away, and invited the two to have dinner.

The King of Han did not need to worship the Ancestral Temple, but His Majesty sent someone to come two days ago, and ordered her to bring the princess to the Ancestral Temple to pay homage to the late Emperor after getting married.

The ancestral temple is located on the east side of the palace city, and it is quite a distance from the palace.

Sitting in the car, the King of Han sneaked a glance at the princess next to her.This car has never been ridden by another person other than her, and she is always alone in the car, suddenly someone is accompanying her, the King of Han feels quite uncomfortable.

From time to time, she secretly glanced at the princess, with a little curiosity in her eyes.

I don't know if the princess is nervous or not.The King of Han thought.The ancestral temple is solemn and solemn, dedicated to the ancestors of the past dynasties.She was very nervous when she went back for the first time when she was a child.

Thinking of this, the King of Han hurriedly took out the saber from his sleeve and hung it around his waist.The aqua-blue saber, reflecting the purple robe, is not obtrusive at all.The King of Han touched the pouch, heaved a sigh of relief, turned his head, and saw the Princess smiling at her.

King Han's eyes widened slightly, thinking that she was going to pay homage to her ancestors, but she was wearing a sarong, she showed embarrassment, and explained in a low voice: "Ancestral Temple, it's a bit gloomy..."

When the princess heard this, doubts appeared in her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.

The King of Han was afraid that she would misunderstand her timidity, so he hurriedly said, "It's true, I'm not afraid."

The princess smiled: "Then why did Your Highness bring this?"

The king of Han pursed his lips, as if he couldn't speak. After a while, she whispered, "I always feel that there is something in the ancestral temple... Last year's Zhengdan, your majesty changed the yuan, and all the officials and I followed your majesty to pay homage to the late king." She paused at this point.

The princess asked, "How?"

The King of Han silently slapped the princess, leaning his body against her: "It's always chilly inside."

After she finished speaking, she moved towards the princess again, and her right hand involuntarily covered the pouch.

The concubine knew that she was afraid, so she didn't expose her, but leaned back a little, so that the King of Han could come over a little more.The king of Han noticed that there was a gap around him suddenly, she shivered slightly, and quickly moved over, trying to hide herself in the arms of the princess.

The concubine comforted softly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, this pouch is very effective."

King Han nodded again and again: "It's very spiritual." After she finished speaking, she asked again, "Have you brought it with you?"

The princess shook her head.

The King of Han sighed, looked at her with a worried expression, thought for a while, and said seriously: "Then follow me later, and I will protect you."

The hall where the spiritual throne of the former king was enshrined was very dark, and incense candles were lingering all the year round. Being in it, it was like being immersed in cool water, it was very eerie and eerie.

The princess didn't have a saber, it's better to be next to her so they can share one.

The princess held back her smile, and nodded solemnly like the King of Han.

The king of Han showed a relieved look, and held the hand of the princess.The princess didn't expect her to hold her hand suddenly, and subconsciously flinched, the King of Han hurriedly said: "Don't hide. We have to stay close to each other."

The concubine bit her lip lightly, took a quick look at her, and really didn't hide.

The palm of that little hand was hot, sticking to the back of her hand, holding it firmly, not letting go.The princess's face flushed slightly, her heart tightened for a moment, then relaxed again.

This time with a very effective pendant, the King of Han did not feel gloomy anymore.

It was already noon after the two had finished offering sacrifices to the ancestral temple, the King of Han let out a sigh of relief, and looked at the princess with crooked eyes, very proud.

The concubine also couldn't help smiling, raised her hand to straighten her clothes, and boarded the car back home with her.

On this day, there is no other thing to go out of the house.

After lunch, Hanwang seemed preoccupied.

According to her previous plan, after getting married, she will move to live in another bedroom. The place where she lived before has been made a new house and given to the princess.

After all, she was still worried that her secret would be broken someday, so it would be better to live separately.

However, it is difficult to say this.

The concubine was listening to the family order and reporting to her all the affairs of the mansion, and the stewards of the mansion also came forward one by one to pay their respects to the mistress.

The family business of the Han Palace is quite large, and now that there is a princess, all internal affairs must be handed over to her.It is impossible to see all the managers in one day. The family order is careful, and they are divided into five batches. When the princess is free next time, they will meet with a batch. They will always be able to see them all.

There are also account books, which are also handed over to the princess.

The king of Han sat on the side, listening to the concubine talking to the stewards.Her attitude is friendly yet dignified, her tone is gentle yet majestic, and she has a good sense of proportion.

Such a princess is not quite the same as when she was alone.The King of Han sat bored, maintaining a calm look, but he was thinking about some trivial things aimlessly in his mind.

Yue Mo is innocent by nature and not good at getting along with others. King Han is always very sensitive to good and bad people. Although she doesn't say who treats her well and who treats her badly, she is very clear in her heart.

The princess treated her very well.
