Chapter 6 Chapter 6
Qi Mingjue was married to another country far away, so naturally he was exempted from the three-dynasty ceremony of returning home. After sending the envoys to attend the wedding, he rested for two days so that he could return to Dayan on this day.
On the morning of the fourth day after the marriage, Qi Mingjue summoned An Gui and asked, "I'm moving into the Eight Phoenix Palace today, have all the arrangements been made?"
According to the customs of Dazhou, in the first three days after marriage, the husband and wife sleep together in order to show their respect for their wives, and those who have concubines have to wait until the fourth day after marriage to visit the head mother.
The Prince’s East Palace is divided into front and back courtyards. The front courtyard is where the Prince meets guests and handles official business on weekdays. The backyard is divided into East and West Gardens. The Haiyan Palace is the main hall of the East Garden, which is the Prince’s sleeping hall, while the West Garden is the residence of the Prince’s wives and concubines. Among them, Bafeng Hall is the sleeping hall of the princess.
For the past three days, Qi Mingjue has been living in the Sea Banquet Hall following the customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty. God knows how hard he has endured. Even if the two of them have reached a cooperation and are not married yet, he will still be worried, and he can't wait to escape from this predicament. up.
An Gui said with a troubled face, "This, this..."
"It is inconvenient for Jue'er to enter the Palace of Eight Phoenixes." Li Junran glanced at the puzzled Qi Mingjue and explained: "The Xiyuan are all female relatives. Although Jue'er is a princess, she is also a man, which is really inconvenient."
"Inconvenient?" The corners of Qi Mingjue's mouth twitched twice, "Could it be that His Highness didn't think about it before the kiss?"
"Hehe," Li Junran smiled narrowly, "Jue'er really said it, but Gu really didn't think about it, so I can only wrong Jue'er."
Qi Mingjue: "..."
Qi Mingjue squinted at Li Junran, who was calm and composed, and slandered that this person really belonged to a fox. He must have done it on purpose. The future will be long, so I will play with you.What Qi Mingjue didn't expect was that he would never have his own bedroom again.
The attendant outside the hall reported: "Your Highness, all ladies come to pay their respects."
Ladies and gentlemen... Qi Mingjue raised his eyebrows, almost forgetting that his husband is surrounded by clouds of beauties.
According to Xue Lan's information, in addition to the crown princess who passed away due to dystocia four years ago, there were two side concubines and two concubines.Just as Qi Mingjue was searching for more information in his mind, the beauties arrived.
When everyone entered the hall and saw Li Junran was there, they were a little stunned. Li Junran was also in the study room when he didn't go to court on weekdays, so he would never sit leisurely in Haiyan Hall.Today is the first time in history, it seems to be waiting for them to come.
After a brief meal, all the beauties quickly realized that they all bowed their knees and performed the Wanfu salute: "I have met the prince and the concubine, I wish the prince and the concubine good luck and prosperity."
After Li Junran waved it, he said lightly: "Get up."
After hearing the words, everyone stood in the hall.The first two are the two side concubines, Yan Ruyu and Su Qinglian, and after that are the two queens, Song Meier and Liu Qian.
Yan first offered tea with a half salute: "Brother, please use tea."
Usually, wives and concubines are called sisters. The so-called side concubine is just a concubine of the royal family. As a man, Qi Mingjue is not an exaggeration to call him elder brother. Brother, immediately frowned, Li Junran's eyes darkened when he saw this, and he said coldly: "The royal family is no different from the common people, there is a difference in dignity, it is His Highness, not brother."
The sound was not loud, but it did make everyone shudder.
Qi Mingjue also secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words. If Li Junran hadn't spoken up, even if he didn't like it, he really wouldn't have any reason to refuse.
All the beauties continued to offer tea according to the etiquette, and Qi Mingjue rewarded each of the two concubines with a pair of jade bracelets, and each of the two concubines with a pair of peacock gold hairpins.
Even though the garden is full of spring, Qi Mingjue has no intention of admiring her husband and women, let alone thinking of seeing these women's graceful behaviors every day in the future, he will feel a headache, "As a man, this palace is very inconvenient. If there is nothing to do in the future, this morning and evening It will be exempt if you settle the province." After finishing speaking, he wanted to signal the crowd to back down.
The teacup clicked lightly on the table, Li Junran put down the teacup in his hand, and said lightly: "The wedding is over, and from now on the Crown Princess will preside over the gift in the palace."
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but it was like fish glue sticking to their mouths, and it was difficult to say a word.
It is natural for the main wife to preside over Zhongfu, but after the death of the crown prince and concubine, the two side concubines co-chaired it. Although the Su family advanced in the mansion, they were cowardly and had few directors, so the Yan family was the only one. Guessing that Qi Mingjue, as a man and a noble son, would not participate in trivial matters in this inner house, so he didn't mention it.
Seeing them today, as expected, the Crown Princess spared them the morning and night, clearly she did not want to bother with the matter of Zhongfei, Yan was sure in her heart, unexpectedly the Crown Princess did not mention it, but the Crown Prince did, who would dare to say no Character.Yan's handsome smile froze instantly.
Looking at what the prince did today, no matter how stupid the person is, he can see how much the prince likes the concubine. Yan is the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of War, and she comes from a wealthy family.In the end, Yan Ruyu could only leave sadly with all the beauties.
"Your Highness, the show is over." Qi Mingjue looked at Li Junran and said calmly.
Li Junran lowered his eyes, slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, blew on the tea foam, took a sip of the hot tea, and said leisurely, "How can Jue'er thank me for helping Jue'er so much?"
grateful?This person really had the face to say it, and Qi Mingjue replied angrily: "Who begged you to help me?"
"Oh, it's not mine to help Jue'er establish prestige in the mansion?" Li Junran's heart was like a mirror, and when he heard Qi Mingjue said that he would save everyone's scrutiny, he guessed that Qi Mingjue didn't intend to interfere in the affairs of the mansion. He is naturally optimistic about those women in Xiyuan, but as a concubine, his prestige in the manor cannot be destroyed, so he naturally cannot let Qi Mingjue do whatever he wants. I think the prepared study room should be withdrawn, so as not to make Jue Er angry."
Qi Mingjue has always liked to read, so why would an ordinary prince's family prepare a study room for a man and his wife? Qi Mingjue couldn't believe it: "Wait, Your Highness, what did you just say? What study room?"
"Jue'er, don't you think I'm meddling in other people's business?" Li Junran was full of grievances, "Forget it, I'd better not make Jue'er angry."
Qi Mingjue knew in his heart that if he refused to give in, the study might really just give up.
"Your Highness misunderstood." Qi Mingjue said while looking at Li Junran's expression, but he couldn't see the slightest change, so he could only put down his heart and prescribe a strong medicine, "Jue'er, thank you Your Highness for thinking about Jue'er."
"It's enough to just say thank you?" Li Junran glanced at Qi Mingjue, who was biting his lip and meditating on the spot, his eyes lit up, and he felt playful in his heart, "Don't make things difficult for Jue'er, it's better to take advantage of Muxiu. How about Jue Er to accompany me out of the city?"
This..., Qi Mingjue showed embarrassment, he had always avoided Li Junran, and now he was forced to live alone in the same room every night, and had to go out together, but thinking of the study, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
Li Junran looked at Qi Mingjue's small appearance, amused in his heart, clenched his fist to his lips, coughed lightly and said: "It's late today, go to the study first, and go out tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Qi Mingjue pulled Li Junran up and ran out.
"Jue'er, slow down." Li Junran picked up Qi Mingjue with his backhand and speeded up his pace helplessly.
