The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty
Chapter 80 Marriage
Kangxi now feels increasingly displeased when looking at Lin Qingse, whom he used to admire. She is just a little whiter, so thin and short. How can she be worthy of his Ke'er!
Looking at the noisy court officials, Kangxi didn't listen to a word they said. Sensing the emperor's anger, several of the smart court officials also quieted down, fearing that they would be used as a punching bag by the emperor because of their loud voices.
The atmosphere in the entire court was unusually quiet and harmonious. When it was almost time to end, Kangxi reluctantly issued the decree while Liang Jiugong was about to blink his eyes.
"The Left Assistant Minister Lin Qingse has a handsome face and good character, and is very pleasing to me. I have chosen him as the consort of Princess Dunke, and we will marry in three days."
Lin Qingse was shocked. Like a clockwork puppet, he knelt down mechanically and bowed to receive the order.
The officials in the court were also frozen. There were also quite a few officials participating in the winter hunt. After listening to the emperor's decree, they had no time to congratulate him before they recalled the dreamlike scene of that day from the decree. The extremely beautiful Princess Dunke, who was envied by heaven, was the most rare scenery in the world. Lin Qingse, this kid, how could he be so lucky to marry the most precious treasure of the Qing Dynasty - Princess Dunke!
Nian Gengyao was one of them. His eyes turned red instantly. If Nian Xiyao, who was standing next to him, had not immediately held him back, he might have stood up to refute. However, he was stopped and looked at his elder brother's warning eyes. He suppressed his unwillingness and ambition to plunder, and clenched his fists in his sleeves so tightly that he felt a strong sense of pain.
Lin Qingse faced the envious and jealous gazes from the crowd with a faint smile on her lips. She was happy, but also worried that Qingyin only liked the male version of him, not the real her.
In the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Qing Yin, who almost drank the medicine as if it were water, was unaware of the anxiety of her future groom. She drank the tasteless medicine and ate the bland medicinal soup, and her mouth was almost bland. The delicacies she ate in the system space only touched her taste buds, and she became even more greedy when she returned to reality.
"Tongzi, once you have completed your mission in this world, remember to take me away as soon as possible."
System: "Okay, Yinyin, the progress bar is almost half full."
Three days was neither long nor short, and the wedding of Qingyin and Lin Qingse was held amid the reluctance of a group of heartbroken men in the capital.
Ten miles of red wedding dresses, thousands of miles of peach blossoms, and a procession of sedan chairs carrying dowry paraded through the streets. The people were shocked by the size of the wedding procession, and the several brave and strong soldiers on horseback. Was this a wedding, or was it to capture a rebel? Wow, so many people!
"Who is this? Why is there such a big scene?" Someone in the crowd couldn't help but ask.
A famous man replied proudly: "This is the marriage of the Princess Dunke, the one most beloved by His Majesty, and her husband is this year's top scholar, Lord Lin Qingse!"
"It's worthy of a princess' wedding. Wow... It's so luxurious!"
The conversations of the people also drifted into Qingyin's ears as she sat in the sedan chair. The emperor kept the news about her very well protected, and the people knew that she was favored, but they did not know how beautiful she was.
She wore a light but not heavy crown, which Kangxi had the Ministry of Rites make in a few days. Although it was light, it didn't feel cheap at all. Every thread and every ornament was made of the finest gold and precious jade. The shining crown was eclipsed by the white jade-like cheek below. The flawless skin was almost clearly visible with the fluff on it. The lips that were usually only slightly red were covered with bright red rouge today, which was almost the most colorful red on the whole face. With the breeze blowing in, the sedan chair of Qingyin's carriage was gently blown up. The beauty that surpassed thousands of scenes passed by everyone's eyes for a moment, and disappeared in the next second. People couldn't help but wonder if what they saw was real?
Only one young child who was still hiding his thoughts shouted, "Mom, there is a fairy!" The woman who was also stunned by Qingyin was so frightened that she quickly covered the child's mouth. How could she talk about the princess's affairs so recklessly!
Such a commotion obviously reminded the people who saw the same thing, and confirmed that the fairy they had just seen was not fake, but was the married Princess Dunke.
The people who saw this unconsciously walked towards the wedding procession, causing the vigilant soldiers to immediately stare around, and the people stopped in fear.
Kangxi chose a courtyard closest to the imperial palace for the princess's mansion. Kangxi took back the place and used it as his daughter's territory, so the mansion was incredibly large.
Lin Qingse, who was riding a horse and wearing a red robe, got off the horse in a graceful manner. He stretched out his hand to hold Qingyin with almost a trembling hand. Qingyin also felt his nervousness. The corners of her mouth, which were blocked by the red veil, curled slightly, and she reached out and held his hand.
Time flies, and the handsome groom, radiant and radiant, holds the bride's hand and steps into the hall covered with red cloth. The bride is also dressed in a gorgeous red dress. Even though no one can see her stunning face under the veil, just from her figure, one can tell that she is a stunning beauty, and a perfect match for the handsome groom.
Only those who have seen the princess know how stunning and cold the face beneath the red veil is.
At the wedding banquet, all the princes unhappily poured wine into the groom, the biggest beneficiary of the day. Looking at the wine glasses brought by the princes, Lin Qingse could only obediently drink one glass after another.
Faced with his female body, he could only try to get himself drunk to prevent himself from being exposed. The moment she lowered her head to drink, she revealed a trace of worry that the princess would not want her.
Lin Qingse successfully got half drunk with the wine sent by her brothers-in-law and her love rivals.
She staggered towards the new bed in the east courtyard and looked at the familiar face guarding the door - Tao Su. She understood more deeply that she had concealed her gender and secretly married her sweetheart, Princess Dunke.
The closer she got, the more timid she felt. Lin Qingse actually felt like escaping. Looking at Tao Su and A Ying who were staring at her, she finally pushed open the door.
Looking at the petite figure on the bed, it was her bride. She did not take the cold stick on the round plate, but used her slender and bony hands to replace the object and personally lifted the dazzling red veil.
If the Qingyin on ordinary days is as crystal clear as the thin ice on the glacier that is easily melted and fragile, then the Qingyin now is undoubtedly much more vibrant, like a blazing fire in winter, enough to attract anyone who looks at her.
Lin Qingse said obsessedly: "Princess, I will take off the tiara for you."
Qingyin nodded. Although the headdress was not heavy, it was indeed uncomfortable to wear for a long time.
Almost at the moment when the headdress was taken off, her silver hair spread out, making her skin look even whiter than snow and jade. Her almond-shaped eyes sparkled, and her rosy lips were no longer as pale as before, but instead had a more gorgeous beauty.
Lin Qingse couldn't help but be stunned again, until she felt Qingyin stroking a few strokes on her palm, she came back to her senses, her face flushed. The princess wanted to be with her... But, in the movements of the different strokes, she still realized something was wrong. Carefully feeling the strokes in her palm, she discovered that the princess actually knew her biggest secret and her true identity. She was stunned.
"Then why did the princess choose me?" Lin Qingse opened her mouth bitterly. Could it be that the princess had met her brother before and fell in love with him?
Qingyin: "Ah Qing is also a very good person. I don't care about anything else. I hope Ah Qing can fulfill his wish."
Hearing Qingyin's words which were equivalent to a confession, Lin Qingse's face, which was regarded by the ladies in Beijing as gentle as jade, turned completely red, making the only witness wonder if she would become extremely popular.
After a long while, the redness on her face faded slightly.
She hesitated a little: "Princess, can I call you Ke'er?"
"Ah Qing, you can call me whatever you want." Qingyin's tone was a little vague.
Qingyin had already finished drinking the medicine on the way here. After tossing and turning for so long, she felt sleepy. The careful Lin Qingse noticed this and said to Qingyin, "Since Ke'er understands, go to sleep first."
Qingyin nodded and let Lin Qingse undress her without worry, which made Lin Qingse's blush, which had originally faded, surge up again. However, looking at the princess who seemed to have a different personality from her actual personality, she smiled slightly and thought she was a little more adorable.
She took off Qingyin's outer clothes neatly and turned the quilt of the wedding bed to the side neatly. Lin Qingse worked like an old ox, doing this and that, just to ensure that Qingyin could sleep comfortably.
Qingyin climbed onto the new bed comfortably, lay down obediently, leaving a place on the right for Lin Qingse, covered herself with the quilt, and closed her eyes.
Lin Qingse also closed her eyes, but within half an hour, she opened them again as if giving up. With her lover right beside her and having a good impression of her true self, how could she not be excited? She opened and closed her eyes countless times, and finally she turned her head to look at Qingyin who was already sleeping soundly. Her face was no longer as shrewd as it was in the court, but now it looked silly.
Outside the door, Tao Su and A Ying were also observing the movements inside. Listening to the voices without any ambiguity, the two looked at each other and nodded. Fortunately, Lin Qingse was sensible and knew that the princess' body could not move, otherwise they would have to go in and "serve" her.
Lin Qingse, who hadn't slept at all, was very energetic and asked Taosu to be quiet and wait for the princess to wake up before preparing food. She had to go to court as usual. Despite the deep reluctance in her heart, she left. (I didn't check Baidu, my personal setting: the princess's consort will not affect his political career and he will serve as an official normally.)
In the court, Kangxi also learned the news from the princess's mansion. He looked up to Lin Qingse, who did not touch his daughter, and for the first time he did not glare at him.
Lin Qingse has been in high spirits these days and has been in a very good mood all day long. As long as it is not a big deal, she will go along with him.
Even so, it's still enviable. He's just a man who killed both his parents, but he was able to marry Princess Dunke. His ancestors must be very lucky!
Lin Qingse didn't care about the jealousy of some people. She was eager to go downstairs to pick an interesting ornament for Qingyin. Before going home every day, Lin Qingse specially bought an interesting ornament, a cat doll that people like, or a more delicate tiger model. As long as she could please Qingyin, she was not limited to any material. Today, she picked a somewhat delicate ornament of two fish playing with a pearl. If you move the pearl, the two chubby little fish can even move each other's positions, which is quite ingenious.
At the princess's mansion, Qingyin did not disappoint her after receiving the gift and played with it with great interest for a while.
Apart from staying in the princess's mansion from time to time, Qingyin now spends more time in the palace to accompany Kangxi and the Empress Dowager.
Three years passed in a flash, and Tao Su and the others' attitude towards the prince consort had improved. The prince consort had not touched the princess for years, and they could not think of any other reason except emotional preference.
Kangxi did the same, and even appointed her as the Minister of Dali Temple in advance, moving her to an important position.
During this period, Lin Qingse cleared her father's charges with her own strength, so naturally there was no objection to her promotion.
Although Qingyin had mediated in recent years, the princes were no longer so ruthless to each other, but with the passage of time and Kangxi's aging, the princes still openly showed their advantages and waited for the emperor's selection and favor.
Although the prince had the title, he had not done things satisfactorily and was biased towards Soetu in recent times, which made Kangxi very unhappy. However, he did not say anything. He wanted to test whether his prince was really capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility, so he handed the matter of the salt merchants to him. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with the result.
All the things that were considered wrong and absurd to the prince made him begin to have the shadow of abandoning the prince.
The sensitive Lin Qingse in the court soon discovered this. She became more determined in her stance and insisted on being a royalist, or neutral faction. Even though it was Qingyin's half-brother, Prince Yinxiang, who made the invitation intentionally or unintentionally, she did not agree. After kindly admonishing Prince Thirteen for a few words, she left.
Yinxiang was not a confused person, so he could naturally understand what Lin Qingse meant. Lin Qingse was his sister's son-in-law, and he originally thought it would be better to bring Lin Qingse together, but now he has corrected his attitude. Lin Qingse is not a stupid person. To be able to reach his current high position, his ability is unquestionable. It seems that he really needs to be careful.
After relaying Lin Qingse's words to his fourth brother again, Yinxiang relaxed and left.
He hadn't seen his sister for a long time, so he just happened to go to the princess's mansion to see him. Sitting in the carriage, Yinxiang was moved and immediately rushed towards the princess's mansion.
Qingyin, who had achieved her goal in the past few years, naturally took some medicine to alleviate the effects of the terminal illness pill, which would also make her feel more comfortable. It would not be too late to take the medicine before her final departure.
Therefore, her situation has been getting better over the years. Kangxi also thought that it was Lin Qingse who brought good luck to her, which made Ke'er's situation more stable than when he was in the palace. He secretly gave him the green light in the court and personally supported him to gradually become the Minister of the Dali Temple.
