Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

The next day Jiang Xue got up before dawn, changed into simple clothes, and practiced with Chen Jin in the courtyard for half an hour.

At the end, Jiang Xue said to Chen Jin: "Have you got a rough idea of ​​what Fu Dong asked you to inquire about last night?"

Chen Jindao: "Your Highness, the delegation has arrived in Beijing. At that time, everyone from Honglu Temple and the welcoming envoys will be waiting at the city gate. After entering Beijing, they will check into the temple clothing hall. After resting, Shen Shi will be escorted by the welcoming envoys to King Ruichong into the palace. Pay homage to the Holy One."

Jiang Xue nodded, already, there is still an hour.

Jiang Xue asked: "What about other things?"

"I have inquired with the guards of the Ministry of Rites. The consort has been in the Ministry of Rites for the past two days and has not been out. There are many officials in the Ministry of Rites. It is unknown who he has met in private."

Jiang Xue raised her eyebrows and said, "How did you inquire?"

"Wu Anlang has a waist badge for walking in front of the emperor. I showed my waist badge and said that I was asking about the orders of the superiors. I was not only asking the prince-in-law. I was asking about the daily life and whereabouts of many officials in the Shangshutai. Before I left, I asked the guards not to leave. Word."

Of course, there was a little bit of coercion.

Jiang Xue smiled and said, "Do you think this is a fake edict?"

Chen Jin said: "It doesn't matter. His Highness is the master, and we are all ministers. His Highness's edict is also the will."

Jiang Xue nodded to him, and after he left, she asked Fu Dong to call Lu Qiong Shuang.

Fu Dong searched around and came back and said, "It's strange, why can't I find Miss Biao in the whole yard?"

Jiang Xue thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter, she will come back later."

That girl might have slipped out to see her immortal senior brother.

Fu Dong saw Jiang Xue sweating slightly and said, "I'll go get someone to prepare a bath for His Highness to take a bath."

"Don't worry," Jiang Xue showed her white teeth and said with a smile, "I'll go fetch water."

Fu Dong felt like falling down after hearing this, but there was nothing he could do.

Jiang Xue fetched water, walked up the steps, and carried the wooden box. It was almost noon after all these movements.

She was about to take a bath when she heard a rustling sound on the wall.

Lu Qiongshuang jumped down from the courtyard wall and saw Jiang Xue also there, preparing to tiptoe back to the room.

Jiang Xue looked at her sneaky behavior and said loudly: "Come here."

Lu Qiongshuang turned around, smiled playfully at Jiang Xue and said, "It's so early, cousin! I was just practicing Qing Kung Fu on the courtyard wall."

Jiang Xue did not answer her words, but walked slowly to the stone table and sat down. Without looking at her, she asked aloud: "Have you met the real person?"

Lu Qiongshuang approached dejectedly, sat down next to Jiang Xue, and said, "What a real person? He's a god, and he doesn't even have a hair on his head."

Jiang Xue raised her eyebrows and asked, "Didn't you see him?"

Lu Qiongshuang nodded and said: "I said that this senior fellow is really a man. He is a seven-foot tall man, but he doesn't drive a horse. He has to sit in the car. The doors and windows of the car are very tight. It's useless for me to squat by the city gate before dawn. I was stunned to follow him all the way to the temple clothing store, but I didn’t see anything!”

Jiang Xue said: "It seems that someone has arrived in Beijing early."

Lu Qiongshuang was surprised and said: "How is it possible that when a delegation is traveling, as the head of the delegation and the regent of a country, he can enter Beijing quietly? Why is he here?"

Jiang Xue tilted her head and looked at the sky, and said, "That's a good question. Why don't you go ask him directly then."

Lu Qiongshuang frowned and said: "Cousin, you don't know that in addition to the guards sent by our palace, they also brought a large number of people to the temple clothing store to guard it like a secret. It’s not ventilated, I originally thought about sneaking in to look for it, but I didn’t expect that I couldn’t even get in.”

Jiang Xue said: "It doesn't matter. I'll find an excuse in a few days and I'll take you to see him."

She smiled dotingly at Lu Qiongshuang and said, "Go and change out of these clothes. You want me to take you to a palace banquet dressed like this? You are not afraid of grandpa losing his temper, but I am."

Jiang Xue called Fu Dong and asked her to choose one of Jiang Xue's palace clothes and send it to Lu Qiong's double room, then she went to wash herself.

After the two had lunch, they began to comb Jiang Xue's hair in the early morning of spring and early winter.

Since it was a palace banquet and there were foreign guests, it naturally had to be more formal and grand. Xiaochun Fudong spent a long time combing Jiang Xue into a high double-knife half-updo, with six silver-gilt gold-embedded silk flower-shaped pearl hairpins on each side, and a small Yao phoenix crown embedded in the middle. , the phoenix spits out six pearl tassels and covers the forehead.

Jiang Xue put on a pure red palace dress with ruffled gold embroidery. The skirt was embroidered with the pattern of ruffled golden mountains and auspicious clouds. The sleeves of the wide sleeves were diagonally arranged with flowing cloud patterns. It was majestic and stable, and was indescribably expensive.

Lu Qiongshuang changed her clothes and stood at the door waiting for Jiang Xue. Seeing that she had finished dressing up, her mouth opened wide and she said: "Cousin, you really look like a princess of a country, you are so elegant."

Jiang Xue glanced at her sideways and walked forward in silence.

Xiaochun said: "Your Highness, the palace has sent carriages and horses to pick you up."

Jiang Xue nodded and said to Lu Qiongshuang, "Why don't you leave quickly?"

Five carriages sent by the queen were waiting outside the gate of Gu's mansion. They were all accompanied by palace officials from the queen's palace. When they saw Jiang Xue coming out, they immediately knelt down to pick her up.

Jiang Xue didn't say a word, she just stepped on the car stool and walked into the car, sitting in the middle with Li Fudong Xiaochun supporting her.

Lu Qiongshuang quickly followed.

The group of people marched toward the palace. When they arrived at Xuanhua Gate, Eunuch Feng was waiting. Seeing that there were not many cars in front of the palace gate, Jiang Xue asked, "When will the banquet start?"

Eunuch Feng bowed his body and replied, "Your Highness, you arrived a little early. The empress ordered you to be picked up and taken to Yi'an Palace to sit for a while. We will not start until about an hour later."

Jiang Xue nodded and led Lu Qiong on to the chariot.

When they arrived at Yi'an Palace, they found that several married women were already sitting there, and Lu Qiongshuang's mother-in-law Shen was also there.

Lu Qiongshuang immediately stood upright obediently and quietly.

Several people stood up and bowed to Jiang Xue, who calmly asked them to sit down. Within a moment, Queen Lu came out.

Jiang Xue and Lu Qiongshuang sat next to the Queen. They sat and chatted with Queen Lu for a long time in Yi'an Palace. Lu Qiongshuang couldn't sit still, tugged at the corner of Jiang Xue's clothes and whispered: "Cousin, you are wearing these clothes. Sit down, my mother is still here staring - my waist is sore from carrying it, please go out for a walk with me."

When Queen Lu heard this whisper, she smiled understandingly and said, "Xue'er, take Qiong Shuang to Changle Palace to have a rest."

Mrs. Shen wondered: "Qiong Shuang is rude and will always disturb His Highness."

Empress Lu smiled kindly and said, "It would be better if the two sisters get closer. She just came back not long ago, so please spare her."

Shen could only nod.

Jiang Xue and Lu Qiong both bowed to the Queen and left. As soon as they left the palace, Lu Qiong Shuang stretched out greatly.

"Speaking of which, where do you want to go?" Jiang Xue glanced back to confirm that Aunt Shen was not looking this way, and then asked Lu Qiongshuang.

"I remember there was a swing in Yi'an Palace when I was a kid," Lu Qiong said with a smile, "Cousin, I don't want to walk too much in this outfit. I'm exhausted. Let's go sit on the swing."

Jiang Xue nodded and said: "Even in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, no one has taken care of it for so many years, so it's not bad. Let's go."

After that, he led Lu Qiongshuang towards the east.

When the two arrived at Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Mingdong Xiaochun came forward to check, tried to push it a few times, and said to Jiang Xue: "I feel that Aunt Dong is being cared for by someone, and the swing is quite strong. Your Highness and cousin should play more slowly. It should be done." It’s okay.”

Jiang Xue pointed at Lu Qiongshuang and said, "She plays, but I don't."

After saying that, he walked to the corridor and sat on the railing, dumbfounded.

Lu Qiong sat on the swing and let Fu Dong help push her. After playing for a while, she suddenly flew up from the swing, pulled out a hairpin, threw it at a locust tree near the palace wall, and said sternly :"Who is there?"

Jiang Xue stood up alertly, and Xiaochun stopped in front of her.

Lu Qiongshuang was about to call the guards, but she saw the man jumping down from the tree, wearing a silver mask, standing facing them without saying a word.

Lu Qiongshuang said in surprise: "You are that blah blah blah from Wanbao Tower——"

"Ji Ying, should I call you King Ruichong?" Jiang Xue said coldly.
