Chapter 19:

Xia Yi hasn't shown up in the past few days, and Ah Ruan is still learning the things that annoy her as always. Although she hates it from the bottom of her heart, she knows what she is doing.

In the past few days, Najib, Nazheng and invitation ceremony have been held again, making Ah Ruan's small place lively in an instant.

However, in the past few days, several maids have to take A Ruan to do something that makes A Ruan feel very awkward. There, A Ruan is not allowed to dress after bathing, but lies naked on a soft couch to A Ruan. Apply various ointments on the body.

Ah Ruan always resisted, although they are all women, but she has never been naked like this.

"Don't move, girl, the girl's skin is good on its own. If you take more care of it these days, the emperor will love you even more."

"Yi Ze, Yi Ze won't like it..." Ah Ruan whispered with a blushing face.

The maids looked at each other, snickered a few times and stopped talking, continuing to do the work in hand.

The next day, not only people put up lights and festoons in the courtyard, but also many people lingered in Ah Ruan's small courtyard on the day of Nazheng. All the palace ladies who passed by wanted to take a look inside.

Boxes full of dowry gifts were carried to Ah Ruan's courtyard, and the list in the gift book could be regarded as being dragged to the ground.

Except for the eye-catching gold, silver and jade wares, what is left are some novel objects that A Ruan likes as tribute from various countries.

"Ari, Yi Ze is so powerful~ When you have time, can you compete with him? Let's see who has more treasures~"

Ari covered her face in anger, "Meow~~~"

"Give up before you beat me? Really..."

"Meow~~~" Ari knew that he was not as good as others, so he ran away to complain to Xiaohong.

On the [-]th day, everything was ready, and the old Gong'e reiterated the important points, and urged Ah Ruan to go to bed early and leave immediately.

At night, Ah Ruan's small courtyard has been completely decorated, and the brocade tents and furnishings in the house have been renewed.

After taking a bath, Ah Ruan blushed again and let the maids smear all over her body, and then lay on the bed exhausted, holding Ah Li in her arms, "Ah Li, I will be free after tomorrow, and I don't need to learn etiquette anymore. , and they have to put fragrant things on me every night, it's really awkward..."

"Meow~~~" Ari rubbed against Aruan knowingly.

"Hey~ Then go to bed quickly, you will be free after tomorrow~"

Ah Ruan gradually fell asleep, but unfortunately the dream didn't last long, and Ah Ruan was dragged up by the maids before dawn.

In a daze, he only felt that someone was picking off his clothes, and Ah Ruan was awakened by the shock.

"You..." Ah Ruan grabbed the skirt of his clothes tightly.

"Girl, I have to take another bath."

Involuntarily, Ah Ruan was pushed and shoved into the bathroom, and his whole body including his hair was spared. As a result, he was picked up from the pool wet.

So he pressed Ah Ruan on the soft couch again, and applied the ointment of these days on his body again, this time even his hair was not spared.

Ah Ruan blushed as she watched her hair dry little by little, and she was put on a brand new silk embroidered peony chebula and Jinyun Duanxia skirt.Then she wears plain gauze mid-sole, 軼 collar, red-coloured 縠褾襈, then a blue robe, and finally a dark blue robe, embroidered with five colors and twelve grades of Huidi patterns.

Wearing a knee cover of the same color as the lower garment at the waist, a large belt of the same color as the garment, and a leather belt; accessories are a pair of white jade pendants, and a pair of large black ribbons; green socks are worn under the feet, and a gold ornament is worn.

After a set of outfits was finished, Ah Ruan was pushed to the front of the mirror again, and the maid entrusted jewelry with twelve trees of flowers, the number of small flowers was as large as that of large flowers, covering the temples, and the temples were pasted with flowers and emerald leaves.

The hair has been pulled up high, with nine hairpins and large flowers inserted on it; the makeup is exquisite and luxurious, decorated with oblique red stickers and flowers, sweeping moth eyebrows and dotting vermilion lips.

Once everything was cleared up, the sky was already bright, and the early morning mist shrouded Shengjing. The common people took to the streets today, putting up lanterns and festoons to welcome today's grand event together.

Inside the room, Ah Ruan turned his head slowly and almost made Ah Li and Xiao Hong roll their eyes in fright...

"Is it that scary?"

"Meow~~~" Ari covered her face and didn't dare to look at it. In fact, Aruan didn't dare to look at it herself, because she had never put on such heavy makeup before, and felt that the real hair and wigs on her head were all piled up together, and she was full of gift hairpins. , It seems to weigh a thousand catties, and the illusion is that the neck is shrunk down.

"The girl is so beautiful!" The maid proudly praised Ah Ruan, and at the same time nodded with satisfaction at her work.

Ah Ruan is still not used to his appearance, and he is still worried about how he will meet Xia Yize. There has been a message outside the door that "the sage has come—"

"Girl, Your Majesty is here, stand up quickly and let Your Majesty take a good look.

Ah Ruan stood up tiptoely, and Xia Yi who saw him again had changed into the court clothes, his whole face was radiant, and the sun shone through the crown on Xia Yize's face, which made Ah Ruan feel that Xia Yize seemed to have changed again. It looks a lot better.

Ah Ruan was overjoyed, and called out "Yi Ze" and was about to step forward, but the next moment he was tripped by the gown and the hem of the skirt on his body, staggered and fell to the ground.

"Ah Ruan—" Xia Yi hurried over to help A Ruan up, "Does it hurt from the fall?"

"I finally know why Sister Wenren keeps falling down. This clothes are not worn by humans at all, so can I not wear them?" Ah Ruan pouted with a small bun after being lifted up, her face full of depression.

Xia Yi shook his head helplessly, denying A Ruan's thoughts from the bottom of his heart.

At this moment, Ah Ruan is dignified, which Xia Yi has never seen before.It's just... why do you think it's still not suitable for her?

A Ruan stared blankly at Xia Yize, who was different from usual. Under the clothes, he seemed to be a lot more dignified, but his face was still gentle and calm. Yi Ze half-faced the crown, and the crown was rattling, Ah Ruan had a great time playing, "Yi Ze, why are you wearing a curtain?...It's as strange as me~ hee~"

Xia Yi pulled down A Ruan's restless little hand, and pampered A Ruan's nose, "You... It's getting late, I'll wait for you over there first."

"Yize..." Ah Ruan still held Xia Yize's hand and did not let go.

"Don't be afraid, they will take you with them."

After explaining everything, Xia Yi left with peace of mind.

After the maid helped A Ruan out of the house, the courtyard was already covered with peonies, and two rows of palace people kneeled at the door to welcome the new queen, but A Ruan also knew that this was the beginning of her nightmare today.

Clothes and jewelry that seemed to weigh a thousand pounds were all piled up on his body, and his body seemed to be imprisoned, unable to walk and jump like usual.

Ah Ruan could only walk forward step by step, the old Gong'e nodded in satisfaction, "That's right, you must walk slowly, don't look left and right."

"I want to go faster..." Ah Ruan muttered, but he couldn't lose face in front of so many people, so he had to bite the bullet and take one step after another.

In a blink of an eye, Ah Ruan was brought before the luxurious and unparalleled Fengyu, and after being helped up, the old Gong'e emphasized the important point again for a while.

Ah Ruan nodded obediently, and felt that the moment she was lifted up into the air, the sound of etiquette and music rang out, shaking her ears almost in a daze.

Ah Ruan, who was sitting in the room, didn't know how long he had been carried, only that he seemed to have been gone for a long time.

When it stopped again, it was already outside the Tai Chi Palace.

Ah Ruan was helped into the gate again, and was immediately frightened by the sight in front of him. There were countless people standing neatly on the left and right, and he couldn't see the end at a glance.

Ah Ruan's legs were a little weak, and he wanted to escape, and he stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

The old Gong'e reminded Ah Ruan to walk forward, not to look back and look around, but to walk steadily and in a straight line.

So many people are here, Ah Ruan can't escape even if she wants to escape now, so she can only continue to move forward, so she saw the shadow under the sun from the corner of her eye, and all the Gong'e who were supporting her just now followed in unison After that, no one came to help her at all.

Ah Ruan promised that it was the first time in her life that she was so helpless. The long road ahead seemed endless, and she was overwhelmed by the heavy clothes on her body. Every step she took under the sun felt that she was a Suffering, glanced to both sides from the corner of the eye, and all the people cast their eyes on themselves.

Halfway through, Ah Ruan finally had the idea of ​​escaping... He stopped walking cowardly...

Xia Yi stood high in front of the palace and watched the little black dot move slowly, anxiously waiting for her to come up. Although she couldn't see the details clearly, she could see Ah Ruan's slow movements.

Xia Yi looked at all this with some anxiety. He could look down on the world, or turn the world upside down, but he couldn't bear to see Ah Ruan walking to this stage to join him under such pressure.

Seeing the little black spot in front of him stop, Xia Yi was startled, "Did she... retreat?"

Heh... Is my obsession too deep?Or push her too hard? ...

Recalling that night, Ah Ruan lay in his arms after crying and asked puzzledly: "What is the difference between the queen and the others?"

What's the difference?Xia Yi smiled wryly, that was the difference between being selfish or not.

If possible, Xia Yi really wants to rush down to protect A Ruan firmly, apologize to her for her selfishness, apologize to her for her desire to keep her by her side, and then leave with her...

……

"Girl, go forward!" Gong'e, who was behind Ah Ruan, reminded her for the third time, and the civil servants and generals on both sides also began to whisper to each other.

"I don't want to leave..." Ah Ruan's voice was low, but the two maids who were close to her heard it.

What do you mean you don't want to leave!After staying in the palace for so many years, it was the first time they heard such words!

"Girl, isn't the post-book ceremony a trifling matter!"

"Girl, His Majesty is waiting for you above!"

Hearing this, Ah Ruan seemed to be moved in his heart, and when he raised his head, he seemed to see a black figure standing there on the high steps.

"Yi Ze... on top...?"

The officials on both sides have been discussing more and more lively, and the veteran officials who spoke that day have begun to watch the excitement.

A Ruan was forced by the situation to have nowhere to retreat, and the eyes of the surroundings were cast on her, mocking, surprised and strange, A Ruan didn't want to be discussed like this, let alone being treated as a laughing stock, "If I am treated as a joke , Yi will be ridiculed by others..."

Ah Ruan thought of this and thought that Xia Yi was in front, finally took another breath, and began to walk forward.

Xia Yi saw that the black shadow under him began to move again, unconsciously, it seemed as if a stone had fallen in his heart.

He still hoped that this canonization ceremony would be successfully completed...

After seeing the news, they started to move forward again, and all the officials shut their mouths knowingly, and returned to the solemnity just now.

I don't know how long it took, Ah Ruan finally came to His Royal Highness, and looked up again, the high steps were in front of him, the road was paved with peonies on both sides, looking charming in the sun, and Ah Ruan looked back a few times. A palace lady kept winking at herself.

After Ah Ruan understood, she no longer cared about the rest of the people, and walked up the steps holding her skirt.

Ah Ruan didn't know how many steps there were, and exhausted all his strength to climb up desperately. At the end of the climb, Ah Ruan really exhausted his physical strength, and could only support his body and pant.

"Ah Ruan... come up..." Ah Ruan raised his head when he heard the sound, Xia Yi was not far away from him, stretched out his hand to let him go up, the face of the young emperor under the sun was tightly covered by the crown, Ah Ruan seemed to be unable to see Xia Yi clearly He has a regular appearance, but he can imagine the tenderness that is exclusive to him.

As if full of vitality again, Ah Ruan picked himself up again and ran up quickly.

Xia Yi wants to hold his forehead... This kind of pace is not afraid of falling again...

Finally, Ah Ruan climbed another twenty steps and grabbed Xia Yize's hand in an instant as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

Xia Yi exhaled a breath, the big rock in his heart fell completely, and his whole body was relieved like a heavy burden.

Ah Ruan was helped to kneel down in front of Xia Yize again, and Xia Yize also raised his hands in return.

In this way, Ah Ruan was helped up again, and the rest was kneeling and kneeling, bowing and bowing in different places and directions.

When Ah Ruan was already dizzy and had to be supported secretly by Xia Yize, the kneeling ceremony finally came to an end.

In front of the Tai Chi Hall, the two stood hand in hand, Ah Ruan could only see the darkness of His Highness, and Ah Ruan was a little out of breath.

In an instant, His Highness heard the sound of mountains roaring and tsunami, and all civil servants and generals turned around and knelt down towards the Tai Chi Hall.

"Yize..." Ah Ruan squeezed Xia Yize's hand again, she had never seen this kind of battle...

Xia Yi also tightened the strength in his hands, and exchanged a look with A Ruan, "Don't be afraid, it's almost over."

Afterwards, Ah Ruan was supported for an unknown amount of time, and when she already felt that she was about to faint, Xia Yi whispered in her ear: "Follow them back, I'll be there later."

"Hmm..." Ah Ruan replied feebly, looked back at Xia Yize, and then was helped away with peace of mind.
