Chapter 28 (1/2)
Outside the Zhaoqian hall, on the marble steps on both sides, there were a row of palace maids and eunuchs. The maids stood with lanterns in their hands. The eunuchs, with whisks in their hands, half bent respectfully, stood aside.
Under the nine steps outside the hall, there are the official ranks on both sides, orderly arranged with the civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty. There are generals on the right and civil servants on the left. Then nine steps down, on each side, stood a row of bodyguards with sharp weapons on their backs. At the bottom of the 21 steps, on the open ground, there are the honor guards sent by the state of Shang and Xia to meet Murong Zhining.
Yanfeng and Murong Zhining walk out of zhaogan hall together. Murong Zhining's delicate hands are lightly placed in the palm of Yanfeng. Behind them, two maids hold two huge palace fans of pheasant feather.
Yanfeng is wearing a sky crown and a crimson Dragon Robe. He wants to send Murong Zhining away through the most solemn ceremony. This proves the position of Murong Zhining in his mind.
Murong Zhining wears a phoenix crown on her head. She brushes her eyebrows gently. Her lips are crimson and her forehead is decorated with bright red rouge. She was embroidered with gold thread on her bright yellow large sleeve light silk palace robe. A skirt with a hundred flowers is tied on her waist with a jeweled horn belt, which makes her slender waist not full of grip.
Everyone looked at this scene and fell into the illusion of coming to the wedding ceremony.
Yanfeng helps Murong Zhining out of the hall. According to the rules, he can only send her here. Murong Zhining turns to Yanfeng, hands folded over his shoulders, and bows his head to Yanfeng to say goodbye. Yan Feng nods back and stands outside the hall, looking at her back with deep eyes.
Murong Zhining in the eyes of Yanfeng, slowly down the nine steps. She clasped her hands in front of her body. At the end of the bright yellow gossamer robe, it was long and winding on the steps, making her look unreal and ethereal, as if she came from the fairyland.
Chiyun Yuexuan stands in front of the general team on the right side of the steps. He looks at Murong Zhining who is floating down, and the trend of thought turns. He finally understood why Murong Zhining was so proud and never gave in to him. That is her own inherent King temperament, and will not be reduced because of the change of identity.
Chiyun Yuexuan suddenly realized sadly that he had never won the battle. Murong Zhining has been looking down on him haughtily, her cloud light, let him feel a kind of contempt. All kinds of humiliation and torture he imposed on Murong Zhining are just a way to cover up his frustration.
Chiyun Yuexuan has some hope that Murong Zhining will turn her eyes to look at him at this time, which will reduce his pride in the heart, some sense of loss.
Murong Zhining does not look askance. She moves lotus step like Lingbo fairy. The white skin of her front, shining pearl color in the sun. In her delicate clavicle, a green verdant leaf attracted the eyes of the clouds. The phoenix tree leaves are green and transparent, and the glowing soft light is just the red silk rope that is linked with the leaves of the phoenix tree. It seems that after a long time of grinding, it is somewhat worn out and misfits with the crystal clear blue leaves.
Chiyun Yuexuan's hand was involuntarily clenched. There were sweat beads in his palm. Murong Zhining swayed from his side, proud as before. She didn't look at him like chiyun Yuexuan hoped. She still looked at him like a passer-by.
Chiyun Yuexuan's complex and resentful eyes fall behind Murong Zhining who has passed by by by mistake. Murong Zhining ears after a small cinnabar mole, stabbing his eyes.
Chiyun Yuexuan's mind was in a mess. His feet were floating and his body could not help tilting down. He looked at the back of Murong Zhining, who was walking far away, and shouted uncontrollably: ”little kitten.”
Murong Zhining stops. She stood there without looking back. She raised her hand to her chest gracefully, pulling down the Indus leaf and putting it on the pillar of jade white beside her. She didn't stop. She walked slowly down the steps, calm and calm. No one knows what happened and no one can see her face.
Yan Feng had a panoramic view of this scene from a high place, and suddenly he understood that heaven had made a big joke with the three of them. He rushed down the steps to chiyunyuexuan and punched him heavily in the face regardless of dignity.
shouted at the clouds for a moment, and went over to pick up the Indus leaf and hold it tightly in his palm.
The ambassador of Shang and Xia under the steps, together with his palace maids, knelt down to Murong Zhining and saluted her and helped her to a carriage driven by eight horses. The carriage's trunk is wide, the body is carved with dragons and Phoenix, and there is a circle of tassels hanging on the top, like a small palace.
The carriage drove slowly away from the palace and disappeared in the sight of the people. Yanfeng and chiyunyuexuan have been looking at the direction of the disappearance of the carriage, as if they have lost something.
After all the civil and military officials were gone, Yanfeng and chiyunyuexuan did not leave. They sat on the steps on both sides of his highness, thinking.
Yan Feng's memory rolled in his mind: when he was 12 years old, one day chiyun Ping and chiyun Yuexuan came to the palace to play with him. With the help of eunuch, the two boys jumped over the palace wall. The outside world has a great attraction to Yanfeng. Chiyunyuexuan is also happy to have someone play with him.
