Early in the morning, the maidservants stood guard outside the door, holding copper basins, aromatherapy and other things in their hands. As the chief dowry maid, of course Bai Zhi stood at the front, and she looked into the pane again, her brows gradually becoming anxious.
Yinzhu muttered quietly: "It's this time, why hasn't the lady moved? As usual, she got up early."
Bai Zhi glared at Yinzhu, and Yinzhu quickly lowered her head, not daring to say any more. Bai Zhi has served Yu Qingjia for so many years, of course she knows that she wakes up much later than Yu Qingjia's normal time, but can the wedding be the same as the boudoir period?
Bai Zhi recalled what happened last night. It was supposed to be a great day for the young lady, but in the end she was surrounded by a group of people. Although the group of people were soon killed by real elite soldiers, they really shocked all the female relatives.
Bai Zhi can be said to have watched Yu Qingjia grow up since she was a child, and she and Yu Qingjia are both servants and sisters. She wanted to give her daughter a perfect wedding, but the slightly hasty engagement, the six rituals with a too fast schedule, and the official day last night, seemed It's not perfect by any means. Bai Zhi felt a little regretful in her heart, but when she remembered what King Langya did yesterday, the little bit of regret in her heart was washed away by satisfaction. Even though the palace was surrounded by unknown men and horses, King Langya insisted on finishing the marriage ceremony and settled the young lady before going out, which shows the extent of his intentions. All the guests who watched the ceremony last night witnessed this scene, and Bai Zhi saw with her own eyes the complex and fearful expressions on the faces of the ladies after the soldiers outside the mansion dispersed.
Bai Zhi is not without complacency. Miss Six of their family grew up with rich clothes and fine food and careful education. The Yu family is like a natural barrier to ordinary common people, but it is just an ordinary powerful family in Yanzhou. She never thought of marrying into the emperor's family, let alone Liu Niang would be valued by the Prince Yan Luo. King Langya's behavior was enough to offset all the unsatisfactory things at the wedding, but what happened this morning was a little subtle.
Last night was supposed to be Yu Qingjia's bridal night, but she had to stay alone in the empty boudoir. Bai Zhi felt sorry for her wife, so she persuaded Yu Qingjia to take off her make-up first and go to rest. But Yu Qingjia refused and sent them all outside. Bai Zhi had no choice but to back out, carefully watching the movement outside. However, Bai Zhi was very careful, and still didn't know when King Langya came back, only knew that King Langya left early in the morning before dawn.
Bai Zhi's stomach began to beat drums. She didn't know what was going on, and she was thinking of asking Yu Qingjia carefully while no one was around, but Yu Qingjia didn't ask anyone to come in until now. Bai Zhi waited for a while, and finally made up her mind to knock on the door to ask. At this time, Yu Qingjia's voice came from inside: "Come in."
Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief silently, pushed open the door, and led two teams of maids to enter. Bai Zhi lifted the curtain, and the servant girl behind her immediately took out a golden hook to hang it on. Through the screen, a vague silhouette of a woman came into view.
Bai Zhi called carefully: "My lady?"
"Yeah." Yu Qingjia propped her forehead, she was only wearing a middle coat, and her long hair was loose and collapsed. Yu Qingjia yawned slightly and said, "Changing clothes."
How should I put it, last night, Yu Qingjia didn't sleep at all. After Murong Yan left, she was finally able to lie down for a while, but as soon as she touched the pillow, it was dawn.
At this time, Yu Qingjia was extremely fortunate that Murong Yan had separated and set up his own mansion. Apart from Yu Qingjia himself, there was no other master in the huge palace. In other words, Yu Qingjia didn't need to greet anyone, she could sleep as long as she wanted.
But Yu Qingjia has shame, how could she do such a thing. She got up too late today, if she went to sleep again, wouldn't it be a joke for the servants in the house? Even though she was extremely sleepy, Yu Qingjia insisted on getting up to wash and change clothes. The servant girl knelt on the edge holding water, utensils, and handkerchiefs. Yu Qingjia only needed to make a gesture of raising her hands, and the things she needed were right at hand. Although the royal family is always criticized, there is really nothing to say in terms of enjoyment, and the trained maids are really caring.
Yu Qingjia spent the first morning after marriage very comfortably. Because she was newly married, her clothes were all kinds of red, and Yu Qingjia picked out a golden undergarment with ocher red pattern, tied with a long crimson skirt underneath, and a colorful woven sash around her waist. After she changed her clothes, she sat in front of the carved red sandalwood mirror, and the maid **** all her long hair and tied it into a bun.
It is also strange to say that at this time, wars are frequent and the population is withered, but there are the most gorgeous music, Fu and costumes. Men are very popular, and women's hair buns are even more grand and extravagant. Today is the first day of Yu Qingjia's wedding, and there are no elders above her, so she doesn't have to worry about being late, Bai Zhi puts her best effort into dressing up her young lady. Yu Qingjia brought three boxes full of hairpin rings and pearls in her dowry, and Bai Zhi had already prepared them. Seeing two delicate wooden boxes on the dressing table, she asked strangely, "What are these?"
The maid in the palace gave Yu Qing Jiafu a gift, and said, "This is the hair ornament His Highness prepared for the princess."
Surprised, Yu Qingjia picked a box at random and opened it. The wooden box is divided into upper, middle and lower layers. The bottom layer is a large drawer, and the other two layers are divided into two compartments. Each compartment is neatly filled with jewelry. Bai Zhi was shocked, the Yu family is also a big family, it's not that Bai Zhi has never seen good things, but she was still shocked by Murong Yan's handwriting. It's nothing unusual if it's just shiny gold and silver, but it's strange that each of the hairpins is so exquisite that you can pick any one out and it's enough to serve as a showpiece.
Seeing this, the maid of the palace explained: "His Royal Highness has personally selected them all over the years. This is just a part of the selection. There are other jewelry in the warehouse. This is the key to the warehouse. Your Highness has ordered that if the princess is interested, Feel free to go to the warehouse to choose.”
The dowry maids were stunned when they heard that this was not all. Yu Qingjia glanced at the key and said, "I have other things to do today. I don't have time to go to the warehouse. Take the key back."
The palace maid remained motionless, and even showed a troubled expression: "Wangfu, this is an order from His Highness."
Yu Qingjia had no choice but to say: "Okay, then I will keep it for His Highness for the time being."
The palace maid was obviously relieved, and thanked Yu Qingjia sincerely: "Thank you, Princess."
Bai Zhi received Yu Qingjia's signal and stepped forward to put the key away. When she held the key, she felt weird for some reason. After Madam Yu married into the Yu family, Bai Zhi knew what she had experienced. Take it easy. Yu's experience left a deep impression on Bai Zhi. For this, Bai Zhi learned a lot of skills on how to fight people, heaven and mother-in-law. Unexpectedly, before she had time to use her fists and feet, she got a husband on the first day of her wedding. The house key.
But at this time, the maids of the palace still looked grateful, hoping that Bai Zhi would put away the key as soon as possible.
At this time, Bai Zhi finally felt a sense of reality. Although she knew that Yu Qingjia was a princess before, Bai Zhi didn't realize the difference between marrying a princess and marrying an ordinary family. It wasn't until this moment that she clearly realized that Miss Six of her family was already Princess Langya, living in one of the most prestigious courtyards in Ye City, and everyone saw her and saluted her. In such a large palace, Yu Qingjia is in charge of all matters, big or small.
The dowry maids all looked like they were stepping on the clouds and fluttering, but Yu Qingjia hummed softly in her heart. Others don't understand Murong Yan, but she doesn't understand, Murong Yan is paranoid and unreasonable, when he is indifferent, he can ignore injustice, but when he is serious, even a hairpin is jealous. If she doesn't use the jewelry he bought today, I'm afraid the Lord will lose his temper again when he returns.
The picture of last night suddenly flashed before Yu Qingjia's eyes, and her cheeks became hot, and she quickly squeezed out these thoughts. Fortunately, the maids were busy picking out hairpins for her, and no one noticed Yu Qingjia's strangeness.
Yu Qingjia quietly breathed a sigh of relief, until now, her waist is still faintly sore. Yu Qingjia rubbed her waist unobtrusively, and then ordered the maid to put on a silver Zhai bird crown for her. Gorgeous peacock feather beads were inserted on both sides of the bun, and purple emerald jade ornaments were placed around it. On the back of the bun, insert a pair of exquisite silver tassel hair combs.
After the makeup was completed, the maids couldn't help but sigh in admiration. Yu Qingjia was kneeling upright in front of the mirror, her skin was like porcelain, her neck was slender, and the silver tassels behind her ears were jingling, and her appearance was shining. Bai Zhi watched Yu Qingjia grow up since she was a child, so she was a little dumbfounded at the moment. She found that Yu Qingjia was extraordinarily beautiful today, she couldn't tell what it was exactly, but felt that Yu Qingjia seemed more radiant and attractive. Yu Qingjia was sitting here in full dress, and even Bai Zhi, as a woman, couldn't control herself.
The maids surrounded Yu Qingjia, sighing endlessly, unwilling to leave for a long time. Yu Qingjia had no choice but to stand up and go to the inner room, until Yu Qingjia could no longer be seen, the maids were still unsatisfied, and slowly dispersed.
After everyone had left, Bai Zhi quietly followed into the room, and asked in a low voice: "My lady, why did Your Highness leave before dawn this morning?"
"Last night, King Yingchuan was in chaos, and there was no peace in the court. He has many things to show up. In fact, it was really strange to me that he was able to find time to come back yesterday."
Bai Zhi nodded, and then moved closer: "Lady, did you..."
Yu Qingjia waited for a long time, but Bai Zhi didn't say the rest of the sentence for a long time. Yu Qingjia was confused and couldn't help asking: "Is there anything?"
Bai Zhi blushed: "It's just...did you do... that."
Only then did Yu Qingjia realize that Bai Zhi was asking about this, she coughed and blushed. She didn't know whether she should answer this question or not, and Bai Zhi waited eagerly if she didn't say anything, and in the end Yu Qingjia had no choice but to say "hmm" vaguely.
After Yu Qingjia finished speaking, she was extremely embarrassed, and both of them blushed. With a smile on her lips, Bai Zhi sighed: "That's great, if Madam knows, she can feel at ease."
Yu Qingjia had lingering fears when she thought of what happened last night, so she quickly changed the subject: "Today should be the day when I pay homage to my in-laws and enter the palace to thank my father-in-law. What's going on in the palace now?"
Bai Zhi shook her head: "I don't know. I heard that King Yingchuan colluded with the two kings to rebel and was locked up last night. His Royal Highness King Langya entered the palace late at night. Since then, no one has seen the emperor. No one knows what is going on in the palace now." have no idea."
Yu Qingjia wrote it down, and asked again: "What will happen to King Yingchuan?"
Bai Zhi shook her head again, she opened her mouth to speak, when a voice suddenly came from outside the folding screen: "What did you ask him for?"
Yu Qingjia was surprised, and stood up with everyone: "Your Highness?"
