Today's Jiji ceremony is presided over by the emperor.

After the emperor delivered a succinct speech, he announced that the Jiji ceremony had officially begun.

The sound of silk and bamboo resounded faintly again, and Gu Yanfei walked into the hall without haste, calm and calm.

Hundreds of eyes in the room were all cast on her, either admiring, amazed, envious, jealous, or simply looked away.

Sunlight poured in through the surrounding open windows and the front door, casting a bright halo around Gu Yanfei's body.

The silver-red dress on her body was dragged on the smooth marble floor, and the skirt like a peacock's tail feather swayed slightly with her steps.

With the appearance of the girl, a faint fragrance of flowers filled the hall, fresh and elegant like jasmine, and distant and mellow like orchids. The garden is stunningly beautiful.

Soon someone with a sharp nose smelled it. This fragrance belonged to the moon-lin incense, which is not only expensive, but also extremely rare. It came from far away Persia. In the Dajing Dynasty, only the royal family could use it.

Not only the incense, but also the rattan mats, furnishings and even the silk and bamboo used in the hall today are very particular.

This second girl Gu is really lucky and lucky! Many female relatives expressed envy and admiration in their hearts.

Today's Jiji ceremony is quite grand.

With the eldest princess of Fengyang as the official guest, Wei Jiaoniang as the praiser, the eldest princess An Le as the host, and all the ladies and nobles from all over the capital as the guests and guests, this is already the rule of the princess and Ji etiquette.

The last time the palace held a Jiji ceremony was for Princess Minghui, that was seven years ago, when the guest of honor was Princess Li, compared to today, it was a little inferior.

But today, the emperor invited Fengyang to be his guest of honor!

Feng Yang, who was standing in the honorary seat, was wearing a black auspicious Ruyi dark-pattern gown today, and his gray hair was pulled into a neat bun, fixed with a green jade hairpin, elegant and pure.

The wrinkled face of the nearly seventy-year-old woman is still straight and heroic, with a confident and proud air all over her body. She stands out from the crowd among the rich ladies in the hall.

In the Dajing Dynasty, there was only such a princess of Fengyang, who "can secure the country with literature and stabilize the country with martial arts".

Under the scorching eyes of everyone, Fengyang held a red gold silk nine-winged phoenix luan inlaid ruby ​​hairpin, and smiled and chanted his congratulatory speech: "With the righteousness of the year and the order of the moon, Xianjia will obey."

She leaned over slightly, and personally inserted this radiant hairpin into Gu Yanfei's bun.

Everyone's eyes fell on this red gold silk nine-winged phoenix luan inlaid ruby ​​​​hairpin, and their eyes were full of surprise.

Could this hairpin be the one inserted by Empress Taizu herself for Fengyang when Fengyang Jiji was born? !

It is said that this hairpin was carefully crafted by old craftsmen from the Banking Bureau of the former court. After Fengyang wore it, it set off a trend in the capital. Many female family members asked jewelry shops in Beijing to imitate The style of this hairpin is made of phoenix hairpins, but they are all painted tigers, not anti-dogs.

Those old wives all stared at the hairpin in Fengyang's hand, almost staring straight away.

Feng Yang's hand holding the hairpin was very steady, not moving at all. When she leaned over to insert the hairpin for Gu Yanfei, the two got very close, and her rough fingertips inadvertently brushed against Gu Yanfei's smooth forehead.

Gu Yanfei's eyes flashed, and he slightly raised his head to look at Fengyang.

At that moment of contact just now, she could feel that Fengyang's soul became weaker and weaker again, like a cluster of flames that were about to burn out, swaying...

It seemed that when the next gust of wind came, the cluster of flames would be blown out.

Gu Yanfei's heart seemed to be pricked by a needle, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

She couldn't help but raised her hand to touch Fengyang's wrist, she released it immediately, her pupils were as black as night, clearly reflecting Fengyang's face.

Feng Yang smiled slightly, got up and reset.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Jiaoniang, who was a praiser, carefully straightened Gu Yanfei's hairpin. From the small and exquisite phoenix's mouth, a string of pearl tassels hung by Gu Yanfei's ear, swaying and shining brightly, reflecting her eyes. shining brightly.

Sister Yanfei is so beautiful! An Le sat on the wheelchair and looked at Gu Yanfei with burning eyes, her big black eyes were wide open, and she was reluctant to blink.

This also has its own share of credit!

An Le felt like a little sparrow was flapping its wings happily and spinning around, feeling sorry for Brother Huang, if only Brother Huang could be here.

An Le was stunned for a moment, and after regaining her senses, she quickly performed her duties as a supervisor and reminded Gu Yanfei to continue to the next step.

Gu Yanfei straightened up slowly, her dress flowed down with her movements, and the tassels strung with pearls the size of lotus seeds swayed gently on her cheeks.

Under the golden sun, her skin is as frosty as snow. When she smiles, she looks like a tree full of hibiscus blooming in an instant.

Everyone held their breath subconsciously, looking at the stunning girl in front of them.

Gu Yanfei bowed gracefully, first thanking the emperor in front of him.

The emperor is more happy than anyone else when people are in good spirits on happy occasions. He smiled and twisted his beard, and said, "Excuse me."

"You are pure and true, very good. Your parents are the spirits in the sky. They will be pleased to see you."

The emperor's face was radiant, and his elegant face seemed to be ten years younger.

Mrs. Xiao and other wives of the aristocratic family around her became even more rigid when they heard the words. Even those who had such a little luck in their hearts before, now hearing the emperor's public praise of Gu Yanfei, know that the emperor's mind has been made up.

Gu Yanfei was undoubtedly the candidate for the eldest concubine.

"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty." Gu Yanfei thanked her generously, and from the corner of her eye, she saw a silver pocket watch in the hand of the eunuch, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

She tilted her small face playfully at the emperor, showing her intimacy.

For her wedding ceremony, they have bothered.

Moreover, she felt that the emperor's evaluation of her was quite appropriate, saying that she was pure and true, not perfect and filial.

The emperor liked the beauty of her little daughter and laughed.

After that, Gu Yanfei bowed to Fengyang and all the guests present, elegantly and solemnly.

At this point, Jiji ceremony is completed.

If this was an ordinary Jiji ceremony, the next step would be for the guests to congratulate the parents and goddaughter for their good fortune, but now the person presiding over the Jiji ceremony is the emperor, so this step is naturally avoided.

All the female relatives bowed respectfully and sent the emperor, Fengyang and Anle away in unison.

The emperor's departure made all the female relatives relieved, and the air in the hall suddenly relaxed.

The crowd was no longer restrained, they gathered together in twos and threes, some followed closely and left Qinghui Hall, some looked at Gu Yanfei's direction with jealousy or envy, and some came forward to talk to Gu Yanfei with smiles on their faces, There were even familiar female relatives who congratulated Gu Yanfei, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was lively.

After talking for a while, they let Gu Yanfei go to change clothes.

Gu Yanfei followed Gu Yunzhen back to the Qinglian Pavilion on the opposite side of the bridge, changed from the silver-red dress with large sleeves, and put back on the original green lotus-colored Hu suit.

She originally wanted to take off the phoenix hairpin on her head, but was stopped by Gu Yunzhen: "Yan Fei, this hairpin looks good on you, don't take it off."

Knowing that Gu Yanfei is like Gu Yunzhen, knowing that if Gu Yanfei doesn't wear it today, then, with her laziness, she probably won't wear this hairpin.

When Gu Yanfei packed her clothes and came out of Qinglian Pavilion, the Qinghui Hall on the other side of the bridge was already empty.

After talking to Gu Yunzhen, she asked Eunuch He to take her to find Fengyang.

Eunuch He had good eyes and ears, but after a cup of tea, he got the news. He personally led Gu Yanfei to a stone boat by the Yueming Lake.

Feng Yang stood alone on the stone boat, leaning on the railing.

She was wearing a cloak of Taishiqing. In the spring breeze, the cloak fluttered wantonly, showing a bit of loneliness and arrogance around her.

She quietly looked at the sparkling lake in front of her, without saying a word, as if immersed in her own thoughts.

"Your Highness." Gu Yanfei called out.

Feng Yang turned his head and looked at her, his cloudy eyes were filled with a faint sadness, like an inextricable mist, and there was an air of repelling people thousands of miles away in his description.

When her eyes met Gu Yanfei, her expression softened a lot, as if she had returned to reality from the fog of illusion, and said with a smile: "Yanfei."

Gu Yanfei walked to Fengyang's side, stretched out his hand to her, and said naturally, "Give it to me."

Feng Yang passed her hand over, and Gu Yanfei grabbed Feng Yang's wrist and began to check her pulse. After staring at her for a while, she looked at her with a look of "you are really not good", and said, "You stayed up late last night again? "

"..." Fengyang was speechless.

The little girl's word "again" made her feel that she really had no secrets in front of her.

Gu Yanfei took off an emerald jade bracelet from his own wrist and put it on her left wrist, then stretched out his fingers and drew a winding and complicated pattern on the back of her hand.

While painting, she told Fengyang to take care of herself more, don't drink cold water all the time; let her calm down, don't think wildly, go to bed early every day, and talked about it.

Feng Yang quietly listened to the little girl's nagging, the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

She is not ignorant of good and evil, so she naturally understands that the little girl is doing it for her own good.

Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly felt a little warmth from the back of her left hand, very faint, a thin stream of warmth slowly flowing along the eight extraordinary meridians, flowing all over her limbs.

Her limbs, which were so cold and numb, warmed a little, and the pain that seemed to be torn apart from the soul also subsided a lot, as if a life force had been injected into a body that had been riddled with holes and lifeless for a long time. Until the blood that was about to freeze began to flow again.

She hasn't felt this relaxed feeling for a long time, like being reborn.

Gu Yanfei took a deep look at Fengyang, let go of her hand, and explained: "I drew a spirit array for you, with this bracelet, it can nourish the soul."

"You'll feel better."

For these years, Fengyang has been suffering from a kind of skin-peeling and bone-crushing pain. This kind of pain goes straight to the bone marrow and penetrates into the soul. It makes life worse than death, but Fengyang has survived until now.

Hearing the deep meaning in Gu Yanfei's words, Feng Yang's heart trembled, and ripples rippled in the lake of his heart.

This girl really knew that her lifespan was nearing the end of her life, and she was going to die soon.

"No need." Feng Yang whispered, his voice a little hoarse, "Girl, don't worry about me."

She smiled slightly, bright and bright, with a kind of open-mindedness.

She has lived to this age, counting the previous dynasties, it can be said that she has experienced four dynasties. She has experienced the chaos of war, witnessed the founding of the new dynasty by Taizu, and witnessed this dynasty step by step to the present. Chu Yi came back from Yue Kingdom and watched the child help his father secure the throne step by step. She has experienced everything in her life, and she has no regrets.

"I said I needed it, so I needed it!" Gu Yanfei said domineeringly, her dark pupils were shining like bright and bright morning stars.

Feng Yang stared at her blankly, as if he saw himself when he was young, and a loving and nostalgic smile escaped from the corner of his old lips.

Feng Yang's fingers lightly rubbed the jade bracelet twice, and the touch under her fingers was delicate and smooth. After a while, her whole body felt warm.

This girl is really caring.

If you have vision in the first grade of junior high school, the two children will definitely be very happy.

Feng Yang raised his hand to gently touch Gu Yanfei's soft hair, and adjusted the red gold silk nine-winged phoenix luan with ruby ​​inlaid hairpin for her.

This hairpin is perfect for her!

"Little girl, you should dress up beautifully," Feng Yang smiled softly, "You, you are too plain on weekdays."

"When I was young, I liked to wear red the most, and I liked to dress myself up beautifully... You and An Le will come to the princess mansion together someday. Instead of keeping my jewelry out of sight in the box, I won't let you young girls wear it." Get up and use everything.”

Gu Yanfei responded generously, followed, and asked curiously: "Your Highness, I heard from An Le that there are many cats in your princess mansion?"

Thinking of An Le's beaming expression when he mentioned this, Gu Yanfei smiled until a pair of shallow dimples appeared on his lips.

"If you see someone you like, you can pick two cats and go back." Feng Yang said with a smile.

"I dare not, you don't know, my Qingguang is very jealous." Gu Yanfei chuckled, "I'll just go to your place and pet a couple of cats."

Feng Yang was amused by her, and let out a hearty laugh.

The two walked and talked all the way. After getting off the stone boat, they walked along the lakeside.

By the lake, the faint breeze blows slowly, countless willow branches sway with the wind, like the dancing water sleeves caressing the lake surface, the lake water is rippling and sparkling.

On the other side of the lake, twenty or thirty teenagers and girls were playing and laughing, either feeding fish, drinking tea, fluttering butterflies, throwing pots, or shooting wood... They had a great time, and the sound of talking and laughing spread with the wind from time to time.

Many people watched Gu Yanfei and Fengyang laughing and feasting from a distance, some were envious, some were surprised, and some exchanged eyes with complex expressions.

A girl Zeng with a bright red train tugged down the sleeve of another girl in blue beside her, motioned her to look at Gu Yanfei and Fengyang, and said softly: "Sister Tang, Princess Fengyang seems to like the second girl Gu very much." .”

Miss Tang's expression was very surprised at this time, and she sighed: "Yes."

Princess Fengyang has a detached position in the Dajing Dynasty, and she has always been arrogant. No matter whether she is a married woman or the princess or county masters of the clan, she has never seen anyone who can fall into her eyes, but anyone can see it. Her attitude towards Gu Yanfei was very close.

Before, they all thought that Fengyang would be the honorable guest of Gu Yanfei at the behest of the emperor and the first prince, but now it seems that it is probably out of Fengyang's own intention.

"This second girl, Gu, has always been able to please people." Miss Zeng said meaningfully.

Several of the girls present had participated in the flounder banquet in the palace, and they couldn't help but think of the incident of Gu Yanfei and Yu Chaoyun playing piano in front of the emperor and Fengyang that day.

At that time, Gu Yanfei played the song "Treading the Green Sky" to please Fengyang's favor.

"It's someone else's skill, isn't it?" Another girl said sourly, she looked away at the flowers on the other side, "The butterflies over there are so beautiful, let's go and catch them..."

Before she finished speaking, another high-pitched female voice overwhelmed her: "Aqin, look, it's Yan Fei!"

All of them frowned slightly and looked at Wei Jiaoniang following the prestige, with disapproval shining in their eyes. How can a lady be as careless as Wei Jiaoniang!

"Yanfei!" Wei Jiaoniang waved to Gu Yanfei across the lake with a beaming smile.

The girls beside her, including Lu Qin and Fan Mushuang, also waved happily at Gu Yanfei.

Feng Yang smiled, patted Gu Yanfei on the shoulder and said, "It's hard to come out, you go and play with Jiao Niang and the others."

Gu Yanfei smiled and said goodbye, and ran lightly to the other side of the lake to find Wei Jiaoniang and the others.

"Yanfei," Wei Jiaoniang affectionately took Gu Yanfei's arm, pointed to the front right and said, "Let's play wooden archery over there."

She pushed Miss Zeng and the others with her chin, "It's better to stay away from them."

Not far away, Ms. Zeng and the others were fluttering butterflies with a round fan. The curly train and deep clothes on her body made her look slender and her waist was slender. However, her movements were restricted because of this, her steps were small, as if she was dancing gracefully.

They flutter the butterflies really well, but...

"The skirt is so long, I'm not afraid of falling." Wei Jiaoniang leaned close to Gu Yanfei's ear and whispered to her, "Let's stay away, maybe we will be blamed if we fall."

There are quite a few young women who like to wear deep skirts with curved trains on important occasions. The problem is that Miss Zeng’s skirts with curved trains are very long and drag on the ground. will step on the skirt.

Fan Mushuang didn't hear the whisper between Wei Jiaoniang and Gu Yanfei, only heard Wei Jiaoniang's previous sentence, and echoed with a smile: "Yanfei, let's play wooden archery."

"Sister Yanfei, wooden shooting is very simple." Fan Beiran leaned over with a smile, "Just roll out the wooden ball and hit the row of wooden stakes in front of you. Knocking down a red wooden stake counts for one point, and hitting it One point will be deducted for falling black stakes."

"Easy, right? Come and try."

Fan Beiran roughly explained the rules, and next to him, Wei Jiaoniang's cousin Wei Liuzi enthusiastically stuffed the wooden ball in his hand to Gu Yanfei.

Gu Yanfei weighed the bowl-sized wooden ball, and easily threw it towards the stake.

The wooden ball rolled forward, and with a "bang", it knocked down six red wooden stakes at once.

"Yan Fei, you are too good!" Wei Jiaoniang, Fan Mushuang and other girls applauded in unison.

Not far away, Miss Tang, who was fluttering butterflies, was startled by the sudden applause. She stepped on the hem of her skirt and almost didn't fall. Fortunately, Miss Zeng beside her helped her in time.

"Sister Tang, are you okay?" Miss Zeng asked with concern.

Miss Tang frowned, turned her head and glanced in the direction of Wei Jiaoniang and Gu Yanfei, and said lightly, "It's nothing, I was just frightened."

All the girls surrounded the frightened Miss Tang and comforted her softly.

On the other side, Gu Yanfei, Wei Jiaoniang and the others didn't even look at Miss Tang and the others, just playing wooden shooting on their own.

Ms. Tang and the others couldn't help showing displeasure on their faces, thinking: These people have disturbed others without apologizing, how rude and rude!
