After nightfall, Luo Wei talked about court affairs with Xie Yu in his own study at home. They talked about everything. In the end, even Luo Zhiqiu wanted to make a marriage match for Xie Yu. Both of them talked about it. Luo Wei didn't say anything about the meeting.

Wei Lan followed Luo Ze to the residence of Fengwu General Zhao Henian as a guest. Luo Wei did not object to Wei Lan interacting with the generals in the army, and Luo Ze was even more keen to treat Wei Lan as the next Ning Fei.

The banquet in the palace is also at its busiest time, with singing and dancing, and the monarch and ministers having fun together.The fairy music fluttered, the dancers' long skirts fluttered, and the fragrant powder fell in bursts. It was a royal feast that people would recall endlessly afterward.

Chang's daughter sat in the new room of Qingwen Palace and made noise all day, but here it was so quiet that she could hear the insects chirping outside the window.There were six palace servants accompanying her in the room, but they didn't speak. Hearing the intermittent chirping of insects, Chang's daughter became even more nervous, and her palms were sweating.I don't know how long they sat there, but just when Chang's daughter thought that the night was going to pass, the door was pushed open from the outside, and congratulatory sounds came into the room immediately.Chang's daughter held each other's hands, only in this way can she keep herself from trembling in front of others.

The nuns with ceremonies spoke auspicious words about newlyweds passed down from generation to generation.

When Chang's daughter heard the words of giving birth to Takako early, her face became hot.When the nuns stopped talking, Chang's daughter heard a man's voice saying: "You all go down and go outside to receive the reward, you are not needed here anymore." This should be her husband, the second prince Long Xuan up.This was the first time that Chang's daughter heard Long Xuan's voice, the voice was clear and moist, and the tone was gentle, but there was no joy at all.

The irrelevant people in the room all retreated, only Long Xiang was still standing.

"Why don't you leave?" Long Xuan asked.

"You drank a lot of wine today," Long Xiang said, "Do you care about this tonight? Would you like Fu Yun to bring you a bowl of hangover soup?"

"Are you stupid with studying?" Long Xuan drove Long Xiang out of the house, "The younger brothers are still in front, you go and entertain them for me, just remember one thing, don't talk nonsense if you shouldn't say it!"

"I'll block a drink for you, what can I say that shouldn't be said?" Long Xiang was pushed out of the door by Long Xuan, and he shouted dissatisfiedly: "These are also, the father is at the third brother's place, so they don't dare I'm going to make trouble with my third brother, and I'm only here to make trouble for your big marriage. If you really have the ability, go to your third brother's place!"

"Shut up!" Long Xuanji Long Xiang said: "You want me to scold you on this day too?"

Long Xiang muttered and went to the front hall.

When Chang's daughter heard someone close the door, she listened carefully to the movement in the room, as if she and Long Xuan were the only ones in the room at the moment.

Long Xuan glanced at the daughter of the Chang family who was sitting on the new bed. On the red hijab was a pair of mandarin ducks embroidered with gold thread playing in the water.Long Xuan sat down at the table and took a piece of pastry to eat, he was already hungry, and the night was full of excitement, now Long Xuan had time to eat something.Looking at the two mandarin ducks embroidered with gold thread, Long Xuan thought of the mandarin duck clasps thrown into the ink pool by Luo Weifu again, his heart was in a mess again, he poured himself a glass of wine on the table , it was a little better.

Chang's daughter had a red hijab on her head, she couldn't see it, but she had been listening carefully to the movement in the house, but the prince's meals were all established by the rules, silently, Chang's daughter only knew that Long Xuan was in the house However, he didn't know what Long Xuan was doing.

After Long Xuan ate some pastries, he walked up to Chang's daughter.

Chang's daughter sat quietly, without realizing that Long Xuan had arrived in front of her.

Long Xuan waved his hand and extinguished the candle beside the bed.

The old palace people guarding outside the house were all happy when they saw that the lights in the new house were extinguished. It seemed that the Second Highness and his wife had settled down.

Long Xuan came out through the window, and Fu Yun, who was guarding outside the window, saw Long Xuan coming out, and immediately whispered: "Your Highness, the servant has made all the arrangements. Is the princess here?"

"You stay here," Long Xuan lowered his voice and said, "She is a newlywed who won't lift her hijab by herself, I will come back as soon as possible."

"Yes," Fu Yun replied, "The servant is here to guard."

Long Xuan turned over from the back palace wall of Qingwen Hall, and left Qingwen Hall without being noticed by anyone.

"Your Highness?" In the new room, Chang's daughter boldly called out, but no one paid any attention to her after waiting for a long time.Chang's daughter didn't know what was going on, the wedding night shouldn't be like this, but Chang's daughter didn't have the courage to shout a second time, all she could do was wait.

Tonight, the banquet in the Great Zhou Palace will be held until dawn, and the monarchs and ministers will not return home drunk, but not all places in this huge palace can be filled with the joy of the prince's wedding.

For example, the East Buddha Palace in the depths of the palace is dedicated to the Buddha, and there is no way to wash away the bad luck of this palace.

The guarding of the East Buddha Palace is a hard job, just like today, the two princes got married, and there are royal rewards from all over the palace, but it is late at night, and the rewards of their group are still not there. To distribute it.

"Could it be that you forgot about us?" A guard couldn't wait any longer and asked the leader of their group.

"It's not just us here," the commander of the guards reassured his subordinates, "There is also Lenggong, Yeting, and Eying Hall of Concubine Liu in this palace. Maybe no rewards have been given out. Those places are not as good as ours. Here."

The guards looked at their boss together, should we compare such a half-assed thing?Who is worse than who?

"Shut up and do your job honestly." Thinking about his own words, the leader also felt bored, and said impatiently, "How can Your Majesty lose our reward? In our eyes, that is money, but in His Majesty's eyes, is that little money counted as money?" ?”

The guards were talking here when they saw the eunuch in charge coming with his young eunuch.

"The reward money has been issued!" A guard said happily.

The commander wanted to train this subordinate of his, but looking at the group of people around him, all of them had bright eyes, so the commander didn't care.They are in a cold place here, and they can’t compare to the colleagues who work in those good places in the Changming Palace. There are rewards from time to time, but the royal family does not reward them. The ministers will often stuff money into the pockets of those people. The guards guarding the cold palace are also guards, but they are more popular than others.

The eunuch in charge began to distribute rewards here according to the roster of guards.

Not long after, two more eunuchs came with food boxes in both hands.

The commander looked at the eunuch walking in front, and he recognized him as the father-in-law of the imperial dining room who delivered supplementary food to the empress dowager every day. "Why did you bring food here so late today?" the commander asked the father-in-law.

"Your Majesty the Second Highness and the Third Highness are getting married, His Majesty specially ordered them to be brought here, so that the Empress Dowager will also be happy," said the father-in-law.

"Then go in," the commander remembered his share of the reward in his heart, seeing that this was an acquaintance who often came to the East Buddha Palace to run errands, he didn't ask any more questions, and ordered his men to open the outside of the East Buddha Palace He opened a small door and let the two of them go in without even looking at the eunuch who was following the acquaintance.

The Empress Dowager was sitting in a small Buddhist hall, in front of a white porcelain statue of Avalokitesvara, with a benevolent face and compassionate eyes.The Queen Mother silently recited Buddhist scriptures, and knocked on the wooden fish after the last sentence.

"Grandmother."

After hearing this shout from behind, the wooden hammer in the queen mother's hand fell to the ground.The old empress did not get up, but sat and turned around quickly. In front of her was kneeling a person wearing a low-class eunuch uniform. The empress stared at this person's face, opened her mouth, and yelled after a long time: " Xuan'er!"
