"Huh?" Xiao Chengjun looked back at him without knowing why.

It was cold outside, so the two of them lay down on the soft floor of the Nuan Pavilion and hugged each other lazily. Lou Jing was holding one of the emperor's hands and playing with it, while the emperor was drowsy with a piece of amber nougat in his mouth.

.

Lou Jing put her chin on the emperor's head and rubbed it, "When I was six or seven years old, I entered the palace for the first time and saw you in the imperial garden. Don't you remember?"

Xiao Chengjun chewed the candy in his mouth and swallowed it, looking at Lou Jing with bright eyes, luckily he still remembered what happened so long ago, "What about this matter?"

There was a little disappointment in Lou Jing's eyes. What he had remembered for so many years had been forgotten by Xiao Chengjun, "Well, my mother took me into the palace and left me and a group of noble children in the imperial garden. At that time, you were wearing

He was wearing an apricot-yellow shirt, standing with his hands behind his back, and his little face was tense." As she said that, thinking of the fair and tender young prince who pretended to be deep, Lou Jing couldn't help but chuckle and kissed the emperor on the cheek.

Got a kiss.

Xiao Chengjun pinched his chin, pursed his lips and chuckled, "You are the only one who dares to hold the prince and not let go after so many years."

Lou Jing was stunned for a moment, and saw the joke in Xiao Chengjun's eyes, and was immediately overjoyed, "Do you still remember?"

"Of course I remember..." Xiao Chengjun felt a little absent-minded and slowly turned away.

In fact, Xiao Chengjun remembered it much more clearly than Lou Jing. At that time, he had just been granted the title of prince. Seeing that he was sad every day because of his younger brother, Empress Ji summoned the noble sons of the capital who were similar to him in age to come to the palace and said:

The purpose is to let him meet the nobles in the capital and lay a foundation, but in fact it is just to let him play with the children and relax.

But the upright Crown Prince really thought that it was to accumulate connections, so he stood on the hill and secretly observed the group of children. He found that almost all the children listened to the words of the particularly good-looking child, and he understood that Lou Jing was the leader of the group of children.

To capture the thief, capture the king first. To gather a force, all you need to do is gather the leader who responds to everything, so the young Xiao Chengjun took out a Wosi candy.

"Here, here you go..." The little prince stretched out his hand, and in his white and tender hand was a beautiful-shaped Wosi candy.

Lou Jing, who had just had a fight with someone, looked at his hands that were as white as rabbit buns, and then at his own dirty hands. He quickly took out a small handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped it before reaching out to take it.

After passing the sugar, I grabbed the white rabbit bun.

Lou Jing was willing to let go after this grip. Lou Jing had played with so many children, and no one's hands had ever been as easy to touch as His Highness's. As if he had acquired a novel toy, he kept dragging the prince around and never lost it.

Open that little hand for fear of being snatched away by someone.

Looking at the gradually turning red ears of the people around her, Lou Jing couldn't help but chuckle, biting one of the red ears. This kind of childish bribery seemed a bit embarrassing to Xiao Chengjun now. No wonder he didn't want to admit it at first.

, just as I was about to make a joke, I heard him go on to talk about the details of that day.

"You pulled me to play marbles and catch crickets. I have never played those games." Xiao Chengjun rested his head on Lou Jing's arm, his eyes full of nostalgia. That day was really the happiest day in his childhood. It was so

Playing unscrupulously like an ordinary child, he hid it in his heart and secretly recalled it for many years.

Lou Jing stood up and looked at the emperor whose eyes were full of nostalgia. He even forgot to use "I" when speaking. The smile on his face slowly disappeared. He only felt pain in his heart. He pulled him over with his arms, "

From now on, I will play with you and I won’t let you live such a boring life again.”

Xiao Chengjun buried his face in the cold-scented clothes and smiled slightly.

The emperor just lazed around in Wenwen Village all afternoon, watching the sunset. If he didn't go back, the key to the palace would be lost. It was said that no one could control Xiao Chengjun now, but it would be wrong to let people know that they met before they were married.

Okay. 6 The guards urged her three times outside the door before Lou Jing let go of the man in her arms with a look of displeasure on her face.

"We're getting married soon, please wait a few days." Xiao Chengjun wanted to laugh when he saw him wrinkling his nose and humming, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch his cheek.

Lou Jing kissed the sweet-smelling lips dissatisfied. He had asked someone to deliver the amber lactose in Jiangzhou, but it had never been delivered to the palace. Just now Xiao Chengjun asked him for it.

Refuse to give.

"Why don't you give me the candy?" Xiao Chengjun got on the carriage and couldn't help but ask him.

Lou Jing smiled proudly and said, "This is how I will fight for favor in the future. If the emperor cannot see me, he will have no candy."

His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help but laugh and shook his head helplessly. This guy really went back to life as he lived.

6 The guards adhered to the consistent principle of seeing no evil and hearing no evil. They waited for the two to say goodbye before showing up, carefully driving the carriage and leaving slowly.

Lou Jing looked at the back of the carriage and was stunned for a long time. Then she remembered that she originally asked the emperor to see the "Jiuxiao Sword" he found, but after playing with it all afternoon, he completely forgot about it. Chixiao and Jiuxiao were a pair, and now

The Scarlet Sky Sword is in the hands of the emperor. When he gets married, he can let the emperor teach him the swordsmanship and touch him personally...

During dinner, the third uncle looked at the smile on his nephew's face that would not go away, and his expression was not good. Just as he was about to say a few words to Lou Jing, the third aunt twisted his ears and dragged him away.

Regardless of whether the third uncle wants it or not, the wedding is still being prepared in an orderly manner.

After Shen Lian's family fortune was settled, the huge figures shocked the civil and military officials of the court. The national treasury, which was originally in deficit, suddenly became full with this large amount of money.

The Kyoto government office had new officials, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city were also recruited; the escorting army was rewarded and happily returned to its original station; the refugees who fled to Jiangzhou returned to Qingzhou one after another, and the court distributed rice and grain

, I can finally spend the winter with peace of mind.

The chaos in the court finally came to an end, everything began to move in a good direction, and the wedding of the emperor and the empress came.

The eunuch who came to tidy up Lou Jing this time was naturally Chang En, the chief internal officer. Chang En was different from Shen Lian back then. He didn't need Lou Jingxu and Zhi Snake. He smiled and served the new queen properly, and then knelt down.

He bowed to the ground and said a few auspicious words.

Lou Jing smiled and helped Chang En up, "Why don't you have a hijab?"

"This time, we don't need to cover our heads for the Jiao Fang ceremony." Chang En said with a smile.

There are two types of etiquette for the weddings of emperors and empresses of the Yu Dynasty. One is the one that imitated the wedding ceremony between men and women when Lou Jing married as the princess, which is called the Hehe ceremony. The other is imitating the ancient Jiaofang ceremony.

The palace where the queen lived in ancient times was called Jiao Fang. At that time, the queen had a very high status. She wore no hijab and wore red makeup. The emperor personally greeted the queen in front of the palace paved with red silk and led him to Jiao Fang. Along the way.

It is extremely honorable to accept the kneeling worship of hundreds of officials.

In subsequent dynasties, as the defense between men and women became more and more popular, this kind of ceremony rarely appeared. Until the Yu Dynasty could marry a male queen, the Jiaofang ceremony could also be used, but this kind of ceremony was obviously to promote the queen.

Except for Emperor Sejong, in order to prevent the male queen from becoming too powerful, this etiquette was never used again in the following generations.

Xiao Chengjun has become the emperor and no longer has to worry about anything. If he wants to give his queen the supreme honor, no one can stop him.

Lou Jing listened dumbly to Chang En nagging him about the ceremony's proceedings. It took him a while to come back to his senses, but Chang En had already put on him a carved phoenix golden crown inlaid with Eastern beads.

This phoenix crown is different from the complicated ones worn by women. It is only more luxurious than the ordinary crowns worn by men. Two strands of golden silk ribbons are decorated with dove egg-sized pearls, hanging down from both sides of the crown. The colorful wedding dress,

The wide-sleeved gown is covered with a layer of red gauze. The gauze has phoenix hidden patterns embroidered with gold thread. It sways with the steps, disappearing and appearing, lifelike.

Lou Jianyu's illness finally recovered, and he was sitting in the main hall with a face full of joy. He did not expect that Xiao Chengjun could become the emperor. Now that Lou Jing has become the queen, he no longer controls the Lou family, and he has also become the emperor.

Husband, even if you don't go to pick up errands, people will still be rushing to curry favor with you.

Mrs. Wei looked at Xu's memorial tablet on the table with an ugly face, and then looked at Lou Jianyu who was smiling from ear to ear. She felt even more hateful in her heart and said coldly: "It's impossible for your good son to care about you even if he becomes the queen.

Yes, why are you so happy?"

When Lou Jianyu heard this, the smile on his face suddenly faded a bit.

The sound of drum music started, and Xiao Chengjin, who had come to greet the emperor's wife according to the Jiaofang ceremony, had already arrived in the courtyard to answer the greeting officer.

"Prince Jing, Xiao Chengjin, is here to welcome the Queen into the palace." Xiao Chengjin wore a light blue dress with a light red gauze gown with wide sleeves on top, and handed the white jade goose over with a smile.

Only then did Lou Jianyu realize that what he was doing today was the Jiaofang ceremony. It looked like Lou Jing, who was not covering her head, was saluting the Xu family's memorial tablet. The emperor obviously valued this queen very much, and Lou Jing would hold the most power in the future. He

This father can no longer suppress him with filial piety. Those beautiful expectations are still a mirror, and the Lou family still cannot escape Lou Jing's control.

Regardless of the mixed feelings in Lou Jianyu and Wei's hearts, Lou Jing saluted happily, greeted each other with Xiao Chengjin, and under the guidance of his "brother-in-law", he stepped onto the red Kowloon chariot, which was driven by sixteen horses.

Pulled by the horse, it drove slowly towards the palace.

Hundreds of officials accompanied them, and drums and music were played along the way. The common people were separated in the distance and could only vaguely see the long and melodious procession to welcome the bride, as well as the gorgeous chariot.

The chariot arrived in front of the main gate of Fengyi Palace. Lou Jing got off the chariot and stepped into the main gate.

Red silk satin was spread from his feet to the jade steps leading to the main hall. Hundreds of officials lined up on both sides, kneeling on the ground and playing drums and pipes.
