This scene alone is still shocking.
The officials in front of Chengtian Gate had long known that when the Queen returned to the Su Mansion a month ago, the people came specially to clear the snow for her.
But seeing is believing. Seeing so many people today, rushing here with brooms in their hands before dawn, their purpose is self-evident.
Especially when seeing so many people holding flowers and petals in their hands, the reason is self-evident.
Everyone sighed.
Especially those provincial governors who came to the capital from other places were filled with emotion, and their eyes were always looking at the people who were full of joy and eagerness.
Even those who had the good fortune to witness with their own eyes the magnificent spectacle of thousands of people lining the streets to welcome the event and cheering for it, would still be filled with emotion when they saw it for the second time.
As the officials looked at the people
Naturally, the people also stood on tiptoe to look at the magnificent lineup outside Chengtian Gate.
Many of the young children were carried on their fathers’ shoulders to watch this scene which they may never see again.
With so many officials gathered here, how could this not arouse the curiosity of the people.
The common people did not know how to identify court robes and thus judge whether they belonged to generals or civil officials, but they could all tell by the color of the clothes.
Green, red, purple.
Going further up, there are the dragon robes of the princes in different colors.
The common people looked at the clothes and saw white-haired old men in their sixties wearing green robes, young rising stars wearing red clothes, and middle-aged people with bright futures wearing purple robes. Some of them had good eyesight and could see from afar the princes who were not among the crowd, wearing dragon robes and surrounded by many people.
There are also young men and women wearing yellow and purple robes. They are the princes of the princes' palaces. If nothing unexpected happens, they will also be big figures wearing dragon robes in the future.
but
Looking at this grand scene, an ordinary citizen suddenly thought of something and said with a smile: "If a legendary great master from the end of the world comes and jumps in to kill everyone, it will be so lively..."
This man was so happy that he couldn't help but say this, but before he could finish his words, his companion immediately covered his mouth.
The man immediately realized that he had spoken too quickly and looked around.
The people around him looked at him but didn't say much.
There was an old man who smiled and looked at the young man and said, "Dare you? We have the great commander Yan Yunxiao in the capital. He once challenged more than a dozen Zhijing alone and killed more than a dozen of them. Only one person escaped by luck. With such a person in charge of Luoan City, how could there be a Zhijing who is so blind as to seek his own death and cause trouble?
Hearing this, everyone immediately laughed. This incident was not made up, but actually happened in the world. Not only in the capital, many people in Daxia knew about it.
"What do you think our queen will be like today?"
"What? She's beautiful! What can she be? This girl is the most beautiful on her wedding day. Our queen is already like a fairy or goddess. She will definitely make us all stunned today."
"It's the same as if you saw it a month ago and you were shocked."
"Forget about the queen. The one walking around over there is the princess of the Prince of Shu's mansion, right? Oh, she is as charming as the rumors say. And she seems to be ranked fourth on the Rouge List."
"Let me tell you, there is a saying that the reason why our queen got first place on the Rouge Ranking is because there is only a Rouge Ranking and there is only one first place, so don't think of using the Rouge Ranking to judge our queen, you are not worthy!"
"But, hey. I don't know what's going on with our queen's health. There was news from the Su family that the queen's health is not right again. Someone saw Zhang Wenjing and Doctor Zhang running away."
"I heard that there seems to be something wrong with my waist, but I don't know if it's my waist or some other organ. Anyway, I heard that Dr. Zhang said that I was already ill, and it's because of that illness that this happened. Oh, do you think I'll be fine in the future?!"
"How come your waist is injured again? Maybe you twisted it when you kicked that Kunlun slave from the Arab Kingdom."
"What are you talking about on such a happy day? However, I heard that even though the Queen was like this, she still wrote a poem like 'Everyone says that a good harvest is a good omen, but what will happen in a good harvest? There are poor people in Luoan, so there shouldn't be too many good omen'. She was worried about us ordinary people. How can we live after so much snow? Why is the heaven so blind to such a good person? Damn it!"
But this man finished speaking
The people around them frowned, sighed and shook their heads again.
but
Among the common people there were many students who did not pass the imperial examination this year. They looked at the officials one by one with flickering eyes.
Someone recognized Wen Daozhi and spoke immediately, his eyes full of admiration.
But at the same time, someone spoke up and said directly: "He is just a running dog of the Yang Party!"
As soon as these words came out, someone naturally stood up to defend Wen Daozhi. Although he was promoted by Yang Shanchang, he loved the people like his own children, and the people in Liuzhou all respected him.
Others looked at the Eighth Prince and whispered some rumors they had heard, saying that the Eighth Prince's eldest son was killed by his second son Xia Zhixu, and that in Jiaodong, the Eighth Prince also secretly sent people to do many bad things and so on.
Everyone listened with a look of doubt.
And looking at the envoy of the Mobei barbarians, the King of the Southern Court of the Northern Barbarians, Shulü'an, just by mentioning the barbarians, all the scholars looked disgusted, and they wanted to rush up to him to skin him alive!
With so many people, there were many topics to talk about, such as how beautiful the Empress would be today, and how a girl like her could be so pretty, as well as the scholars chatting about the provincial governors and envoys from foreign countries.
Liu Xuan, Wei Anming and others are not qualified to attend this palace banquet.
only because.
Not granted an official position!
They were students who were arranged to go to Japan after the spring, so they were not officials and naturally could not attend the wedding banquet. Therefore, they could only stand on the side of the common people.
Liu Xuan tried hard to look at where Yan Shu and the others were. Although there was envy in his eyes, he soon didn't feel anything about it. He listened to the young students around him talking about the Empress, and then about the Empress' new book "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", which was just recently launched in the capital and was as popular as "A Dream of Red Mansions" once it was released.
Liu Xuan chuckled and looked at Wei Anming.
But Wei Anming was looking at the people around him, and at the many children who were holding flowers with eager expressions on their faces.
Liu Xuan was helpless for a moment.
When Wei Anming saw Liu Xuan looking at him, he frowned and was about to speak.
Liu Xuan said immediately: "Let me tell you, if you dare to say anything more about how popular the queen is, how so many people lined the streets to welcome her, and how many children were waiting with flowers, I won't play with you anymore. I'll go find someone else over there!"
When Wei Anming heard this, he swallowed back what he was about to say, then looked at Liu Xuan and sighed: "You saw it last time, but I didn't. I was deeply moved when I saw it today."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xuan didn't say much, but just looked at so many people, feeling inexplicably proud.
Wei Anming continued with a firm gaze: "Liu Xuan, in such a prosperous era, we must bow to the essence! Strengthen our Great Xia! Peace for the people of the world! "
Upon hearing this, Liu Xuan suddenly nodded seriously: "Of course I will!"
Common people and scholars were chatting with each other.
The officials, of course, were not just waiting there, they formed groups and chatted.
The people from the Su family will not come today. After all, as a family marrying off their daughter, they have to wait for the arrival of Linxuan's messengers.
The senior officials of the court who were appointed as the imperial envoys were currently waiting at the Su family's place for the auspicious time to welcome the bride back to the palace.
Therefore, there were fewer officials in purple robes outside Chengtian Gate, but it didn't affect anything.
After all, there were quite a few high-ranking officials from other places who came to Beijing, especially those princes in dragon robes, who were even more dazzling, simply because it had been such a long time since so many princes appeared in the capital at once.
Li Jiulang yawned and stood alone under the wall on one side of Chengtian Gate.
He was feeling sleepy because his daughter had woken him up early this morning. She kept talking about what she was going to do that day and wanted Li Jiulang to tell her what she should do.
At that time, Li Jiulang looked out the window and was surprised to find that it was only three o'clock in the morning!
But seeing his daughter like that, Li Jiulang doted on her to the extreme and didn't sleep either, which led to the fact that she was now feeling sleepy. The cold wind was blowing on her face, but it didn't improve anything.
So, he gently took out the dried lemon from his sleeve and put a small piece of it in his mouth. The sour and refreshing smell made Prime Minister Li feel refreshed.
Of course, this method was taught by the Queen Mother to his daughter Li Xingyue, and he learned it accordingly.
When you take the lemon slice out of your mouth and throw it away.
"Uncle Li?"
When Li Jiulang heard the voice, he turned his head to look over.
I saw Xia Tingyu, dressed in yellow and purple clothes, blinking his fox-like eyes and staring at me.
Li Jiulang felt helpless. Although he knew he couldn't escape from this little fox, he didn't expect it to come to him so soon.
Li Jiulang looked at Xia Tingyu and smiled slightly before bowing: "Your Highness, Princess."
Xia Tingyu blinked her fox eyes, looked at Li Jiulang and complained: "Uncle has been playing with me since I was a child, but I went to visit you several times, but you didn't see me. You only sent Sister Xingyue to chat with me."
Li Jiulang looked at Xia Tingyu's charming eyes and shook his head helplessly. Xia Tingyu had this kind of eyes since she was a child, and it's even worse now that she has grown up!
but
Li Jiulang still said: "I'm really too busy, but my Xingyue said she was very happy chatting with you."
Xia Tingyu listened to Li Jiulang's words, smiled lightly, put her hands behind her back, looked at Li Jiulang with a playful face and said: "Uncle Li, let me ask you something."
Upon hearing this, Li Jiulang bowed again, then thought for a moment and looked at Yang Guofu, who was standing with Yan Jingqing and several other members of the Yang Party. He pointed at Yang Guofu and said, "Princess, ask him. Lord Yang is now a capable minister under the Queen and can do more than I can."
Upon hearing this, Xia Tingyu turned around and looked at Yang Guofu.
Coincidentally, Yang Guofu also felt something, and the little fat man blinked his one eye and turned his head.
very good!
It just happened to meet Xia Tingyu's fox eyes.
When Yang Guofu saw this, he was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned his head. He could talk to anyone now, except the princess!
When Xia Tingyu saw Yang Guofu like this, she chuckled and turned to look at Li Jiulang.
I saw that Li Jiulang had run to Wei Xuancheng without knowing when.
Xia Tingyu sighed and looked at the others.
But as far as the eye can see.
All the ministers avoided looking at her, not daring to meet her eyes.
Not that they were afraid of anything.
The truth is that nowadays, anything related to the King of Shu should be avoided if possible!
Xia Tingyu's fox eyes were delicate and she felt a little aggrieved. What did her father's behavior have to do with me? He ignored me.
And
Everyone was thinking about that girl Xia Qingge and that monster Su Changan!
Jealous!!
Thinking so
Xia Tingyu looked towards the Eighth Prince who was not far away.
After blinking, Xia Tingyu walked towards the Eighth Prince.
