Fake concubine, real queen
Chapter 29
He Gu stared blankly at the eldest princess. He always writes articles dryly, straight to the point, never able to contain any good rhetoric to embellish. Ten eight thousand-character essays——
The eldest princess wears white, like a nine-day mysterious girl who has fallen into the mortal world, cold and aloof; the eldest princess wears red, like a Suzaku bird flying out of the flames, beautiful and sharp.
And at this moment, the eldest princess in a wedding gown made He Gu unable to take his eyes off even for a moment——
Although the Eldest Princess also wears red clothes on weekdays, today, this complicated, delicate and gorgeous wedding dress makes her even more extravagant and glamorous, and it makes Master He's heart beat just thinking about it Like a drum beating——
She wore this wedding dress for herself.
He Gu's heart turned a thousand times, Lan Shu had already smiled and supported the eldest princess, walked in front of him, handed the eldest princess's hand into his hand, and then bowed her head respectfully and stepped back.
The first time he touched the eldest princess's hand, Lord He Xiaohou almost instinctively clenched that hand, but before he had time to breathe, he suddenly thought that he was born with great strength, and he was afraid that if his mind didn't belong, he would It hurt the eldest princess, so she relaxed a little.
He took the eldest princess's hand carefully, feeling the temperature of her skin.
The knuckles of that hand were slender and distinct, and it was slightly cold, just like the owner of the hand in He Gu's heart.
However, after holding it for a while, He Gu suddenly felt that something was wrong, and only then did he realize——
The eldest princess's hand was even slightly bigger than his. Right now, it was supposed to be his husband, holding his wife's catkin tenderly, but He Xiaohou was very embarrassed...Can't hold it?
Thinking about it carefully, I think it's normal. After all, His Highness is slightly taller than him, and it's not unusual for him to have bigger hands.
He Gu comforted himself like this, but the dignity of a man in his heart was somewhat stung.
Fortunately, he is not very old now, and after living two lifetimes, he also knows that he can grow taller, so he feels a little better in his heart.
The master of ceremonies in the palace had already waited at the side of the hall, seeing that the son-in-law had secured His Royal Highness the eldest princess, he sank his dantian and began to preside over the wedding ceremony.
He Gu put all his attention on the Eldest Princess beside him, he just felt that the place he was in and the people around him at this moment undoubtedly did not make him feel ecstatic, as if he was in a fantasy dream——
It's so good, so beautiful, it's hard to believe it's real.
In the end, he and the eldest princess joined hands to worship the heaven and the earth, the emperor in the palace, and the husband and wife bowed to each other——
It was the first time that he was so close to the eldest princess, and the faint sandalwood scent on her body filled all of He Gu's senses of smell, making him feel distracted for a few times.
After the ceremony was completed, the internal officials bowed and took small steps back, but the queen's eyes were red for some reason. She had been worrying about Pei Zhaoyu's marriage for an unknown amount of time, and now she finally saw her daughter and son-in-law getting married in front of her eyes , I couldn't help but have mixed feelings, I wanted to say too much, but when I got to my mouth, I couldn't say a word, I just raised my sleeves to wipe the tears from the corners of my eyes.
The palace man next to her saw her and quickly handed her a small and delicate silk.
The emperor whispered: "It's a great joy, what's the sadness? If you want to see Yu'er in the future, isn't it just a matter of asking her to go back to the palace to accompany you? Let's ask him to go back today, don't delay it." time."
When the queen heard the words, she didn't say much, she just wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, nodded and said: "What your majesty said is that it's my palace's uncontrollable feelings."
Then he sniffled his nose, smiled through his tears, looked at His Highness's young couple, and said, "Go, from now on...you will be fine in the future."
He Gu and Princess Chang knelt down and kowtowed their thanks.
Then the son-in-law took the princess's hand, turned around and left Yingluan Hall surrounded by all the palace people.
The emperor and empress remained sitting on the throne in the palace, watching their backs disappear at the entrance of the palace.
It wasn't until the hustle and bustle outside the hall faded away that the queen finally sighed and said: "It's really boring to be this queen, I can only see Yu'er away, I really want to go to see the wedding banquet at the princess mansion too Have a drink or two to congratulate the young couple."
Of course, Empress Chen herself knew that it was absolutely impossible for her to do that, so she could only say in a low voice: "From now on, there will be no one in the palace to accompany me."
She said this in a low voice, obviously she was chanting it to the emperor, and only in front of the children and the emperor, she would call herself "I".
The emperor took her hand, shook his head and said with a smile: "What nonsense are you talking about, isn't I not a human anymore?"
The whispers of the emperor and empress in the Yingluan Palace aside, at the same time, Lord He Xiaohou had already led the eldest princess out of the Yingluan Palace, sent her into the chariot, and then stepped on the horse again.
The mighty welcoming team followed the princess to the princess mansion in the west of the city.
It was almost noon, the sun was shining brightly, and the sun was scorching. After leaving the Taihe Gate of the Imperial Palace, the entire Bianjing city was crowded with people like waves compared to when he set off in the early morning.
The marriage of the emperor's daughter and the departure of the emperor's concubine is no longer a happy event for He Xiaohouye alone, but has become the biggest event in Bianjing City in recent years.
Perhaps there were too many people watching the excitement, and even the military officers of the Gyeonggi Bingma Division were afraid that there might be an accident due to the crowd, so they had to send the imperial army to help disperse the crowd and maintain order.
When the wedding party arrived at the Princess Mansion, He Gu reined in his horse and jumped off the horse neatly. He didn't let the maid come forward to help the eldest princess down from the chariot. Laughing again and again.
Even Zhengye, who had been following the procession to see off his relatives, couldn't help touching his nose, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed for his little lord.
But who is Lord He Xiaohou?
He has long believed that the eldest princess is the only wife in his life. Today is their wedding day, and there will never be a second time in this life. He only has eyes for the eldest princess, so why would he care about other people's pointing and laughing?
He Gu carefully helped the eldest princess get off the chariot, and then helped her into the gate of the princess mansion.
According to the wedding ceremony, he should let go at this moment and let Lan Shu send His Highness the eldest princess to the wedding room first.
As his son-in-law, he still has to make arrangements for the evening wedding banquet and entertain guests, and he has serious business to do.
Master He Xiaohou knew that he had to go, but he was a little reluctant to let go of the hand that was holding the eldest princess. Instead, his fingertips were still in the palm of the eldest princess, and he rubbed it slightly.
Pei Zhaoheng's heart skipped a beat for no reason when he was touched by the young man's warm fingertips, and he suddenly withdrew his hand.
After being silent for a while, he said: "You don't need to help me just now, it's just to get off the chariot, I'm not unsteady."
Master He Xiaohou didn't care too much, he didn't hear any displeasure in what he said, he just smiled and said as it should: "Someone needs to help, it's better for me to help than others."
Pei Zhaoheng: "..."
Lan Shu lowered his head and reminded in a low voice, "My son-in-law, I'm waiting for you."
He Gu Hearing this, he looked at the eldest princess reluctantly, and then he was about to turn around and leave, but before he could take a step, he turned around and showed a sunny smile to Pei Zhaoheng.
"Sister Yu'er, I will come to accompany you later!"
Pei Zhaoheng: "..."
When he left, Pei Zhaoheng was silent for a while, then raised his hand and said, "Lan Shu."
Lan Shu knew what he wanted, so he quickly handed over a silk handkerchief without making a sound.
She knew that His Highness the Third Highness was forced to dress up as a bride today, and had to smear red dots on her lips, so she must be in a bad mood at this moment.Although His Highness the Third Highness is serious and taciturn, and has always been clear about rewards and punishments to these servants, the clay figurines are still somewhat earthy. If they are really in a bad mood and they are in trouble, can they still get it right?
Of course, the atmosphere did not dare to take a breath, wishing to bury his head in the mud and become an invisible person.
Pei Zhaoheng took the silk handkerchief, wiped off the vermilion on his lips expressionlessly, and never said a word.
However, although the Princess Mansion has a wide structure, it can be regarded as one of the most spacious and luxurious among the mansions in Bianjing City. The front yard is lit up with lights and festoons, but it can't even receive them. There are so many visitors who come to congratulate.
With so many people, the son-in-law had to entertain them personally, wouldn't he be exhausted?
Naturally, He Gu only entertains acquaintances and nobles.
For acquaintances, like the second son of the Wang family, Wang Muchuan, who had sworn at the beginning that His Majesty would not marry him and the eldest princess, but had a wedding wine in just three months and was beaten in the face.
Today, not only Wang Muchuan came to the palace, but also the eldest brother of the Wang family who is now an official in the court. Wang Muze is different from his younger brother Wang Muchuan. He has a sparse face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. If you are full of rings and rings, I will call you son-in-law."
He Gu raised his glass and said with a smile: "The friendship we grew up together, it's too boring for my elder brother to say these hypocritical words to me!"
Wang Muze knew that he would react like this, so he was not surprised. He just laughed and drank the wine in the glass. Then he turned his head and raised his eyebrows, looked at his silent brother, and said, "You Why don't you make a sound, today is Zihuan's big day, why don't you congratulate him once or twice?"
But Wang Muchuan didn't seem very happy, his pair of dead fish eyes reluctantly paused on He Gu's body for a while, and quickly moved away. He snorted inaudibly in his nasal cavity, and said sullenly: "Congratulations, big brother!" , even if the Wang family congratulates me, what else can I say."
Wang Muze uttered "Hey" when he heard the words, and slapped his younger brother on the shoulder hard. Just as he was about to say something, at the gate of the front yard, there were two shouts from the servant that were loud enough to almost break the sound——
"His Royal Highness is here!"
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince is here!"
The complexions of several people changed at the same time, and when He Gu heard the word "Prince", he instinctively felt a chill in his hands and feet.
The hand that was holding the wine glass trembled slightly.
He Gu was afraid.
It's not that he was cowardly, it's just that in the last life, after being hacked to pieces by a person and executed by Ling Chi, wouldn't you be afraid to see this person again?
No matter how brave and daring a person is, he must be instinctively afraid.
Perhaps Wang Muze was looking up at the moment, paying attention to the crown prince. Big brother Wang didn't notice He Gu's strange behavior, but Wang Muchuan noticed it. He looked at He Gu, frowned slightly and said, "What's wrong with you?"
He Gu forced himself to calm down quickly, forced a laugh and said, "It's nothing, I'll entertain His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Yubi turned and left.
A few days ago, the crown prince made a mistake, offended his father, and was banned in the East Palace. Now that he appears here, it must be that His Majesty has calmed down, so the crown prince has to lift the ban.
As the crown prince of a country, Pei Zhaoyuan's status is unparalleled, but he came here today in a low-key manner, with only a few entourages, and he was only wearing an ordinary snow-white brocade dress, very quiet and not ostentatious.
This is also in line with his usual image in everyone's hearts, benevolent and virtuous, like a mother.
Back then, the pair of sisters, Big Chen and Little Chen, were both famous ladies and famous ladies in Jinghua when they were not married.
My sister is the only prostitute of Mrs. Chen, she is of noble birth, needless to say she was raised with a dignified character, gentle and virtuous.
Although the younger sister was a concubine, she was lucky when she was young, and was chosen by the old and lonely Mrs. Chen Jiatai, and was taken to be raised by her side.
That's why she was born innocent and pretty. She was very intelligent, and she was brought up by Mrs. Chen's wife since she was a child. He can always show off the limelight and win the top prize, making Mrs. Chen Jiatai laugh haha.
She can even learn how to ride bow and horse and shoot.
It stands to reason that it is not a good thing for a daughter in the boudoir to be so flamboyant, but Mrs. Chen raised this granddaughter for fun, so naturally she is not as restrictive as a daughter who is born in the first place.
After all, she is just a concubine, and her value has risen sharply by being raised by Mrs. Tai's side, and she is not expected to marry a noble family in the future, as long as she is happy.
Never thought that this girl would be destined to marry into the Eastern Palace and be the mother of the world in the future.
At the beginning, Xiao Chen naturally couldn't be the empress of the Yuan Dynasty. Let alone others, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty would be the first to object. If you can toss around, you will not be able to shake the sky when you become a queen in the future?
Therefore, the final candidate for the crown princess is not this goblin little Chen, but her virtuous, virtuous, dutiful, and not too coquettish, noble sister--
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty shouted again and again that His Majesty is wise, and they all celebrated with their foreheads and hands.
The candidate for the queen is naturally virtuous.
Therefore, everyone is very satisfied with Pei Zhaoyuan, the prince who was born by the queen, who is kind and like his mother.
Pei Zhaoyuan had a bright smile on his face, he couldn't tell that he was a person who had been locked up for half a year and just came out to let the wind go, he said to him, "I'm late, I only prepared a few small gifts, the son-in-law won't blame me, right? "
He Gu's teeth trembled slightly, and after a while he forced out a smile, pretending to kneel, and said: "His Royal Highness is here, I'm too late to be grateful, how dare you blame me."
Pei Zhaoyuan took the initiative to step forward to support him, without making him kneel down, and said: "What are you doing, today is your happy day with the imperial sister, and we will be a family in the future, Gu Yuan is happy for you in my heart , This is why I want to come here to ask for a glass of wedding wine, if you are called the bridegroom official, kneeling here and there at every turn, it would be boring, then I might as well not come."
As soon as he said this, the people around him laughed kindly——
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really kind, even though he is not of the same mother as His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, he can be so close to He Gu, his brother-in-law.
However, He Gu felt his hands and feet were a little cold. He knew better than anyone else that this appearance was by no means Pei Zhaoyuan's true face.
Although he was supported by him and could not kneel down, he still respectfully said: "How dare you, the king is the king, and the minister is the minister. Your highness and the eldest princess are brothers and sisters, but the minister is still the minister of the holy majesty and the crown prince. Naturally, courtesy cannot be discarded." .”
He Gu knew that Pei Zhaoyuan said it was up to him, but if he really didn't pay homage, then he would definitely have to hang a sign in his heart that he has no king, no father, and is proud of being favored.
The crown prince shook his head and smiled: "Forget it, hurry up and hear that the son-in-law is a first-class straightforward person in Beijing, but he is also so reserved. It's really boring. It seems that you are still alone, which is why you are reserved. You welcome others. Come on, don't worry about being alone."
After speaking, Shi Shiran was really Shi Shiran, and he went to talk to others.
He Gu was in a daze watching his leaving back, but he heard a man humming from behind. He was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and realized that it was the second prince Pei Zhaolin who was following behind the prince just now.
Pei Zhaolin said coldly: "I can make you wait until today, and spoil my imperial sister!"
He Gu: "..."
This is probably because dogs can't spit ivory out of their mouths.
In the previous life, the second prince really said something wrong.
In the end, he couldn't achieve what he wanted, and it wasn't entirely a matter of being inferior to the crown prince's noble family background. The second prince's mouth really contributed a lot.
He Gu is in a good mood today, and he doesn't care about him, he just smiled and said: "Your Highness said very well, the appearance of His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, whoever promises to be wronged by her, there are few men in this world who can match the princess's demeanor, I can only be taller among the dwarves, and choose me, so that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess will feel less wronged, right?"
Pei Zhaolin: "..."
This guy has a thick skin.
After a long while, Pei Zhaolin said again: "I came to congratulate you today, but I just don't want others to come. I didn't come, it seems that I have no manners. I don't want to please you."
He Gudao: "Of course your highness's etiquette cannot be more considerate, and your highness is a noble person, how can you use it to please anyone? It's too serious."
Pei Zhaolin snorted, as if he was satisfied, he shook his hand at the attendant behind him and said, "Bring it up."
Several attendants immediately presented a box, opened it in front of He Gu, and inside was a jade ruyi.
Coincidentally, what the crown prince gave was also Yu Ruyi.
And Pei Zhaolin's handle is just a circle bigger than the crown prince's.
He Gu: "..."
He Gu: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward."
Pei Zhaolin glanced at him, didn't say anything, just left with his nostrils upturned, and went to find someone else to drink.
He Gu didn't bother to take care of him, he just happened to be happy at leisure.
Young Master He has always kept in mind that he is waiting for his eldest princess alone.
Although he also remembered that His Highness the Eldest Princess couldn't touch a man, even if he didn't touch her, today was their wedding night after all.
Even if they only sleep with her in their clothes, and share the same bed for a night, it is of great significance to He Gu.
The night is gradually falling, the night is as black as ink, today is clear and cloudless during the day, so the night is also full of stars, very bright.
Although He Gu intended to drink less than two cups during the banquet, but there were so many guests, including high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and there were not a few of them. .
Zhengye supported him, and said: "Master, I almost sent them away, and now... are you going back to the wedding room?"
He Gu took a deep breath in the night wind, touched his hot face, and suddenly said: "Wait a minute, you go and ask someone to bring a basin of cold water."
Zhengye was taken aback for a moment, a little puzzled, but he didn't ask any further questions, and sure enough, he asked someone to bring a basin of cold water.
He Gu bent down and patted the cold water on his face, forehead, behind the ears, and the back of his neck. He didn't say until he felt much clearer, "Let's go."
He was afraid that if he was drunk, he would lose his mind for a while, and if he offended the eldest princess, she would hate him in the future, and think that He Gu is a man who pushes hard and doesn't know how to pity and cherish jade, and he is also afraid that she will think that he is not Since he really admired her, he just wanted to show her body. If Sister Yu'er annoyed him because of this, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss.
He wanted to have a good life with Sister Yuer for the rest of his life.
He Gu has gradually figured it out these days. Although he was really thinking about the princess because of that very unseemly dream at first, but these days he also found that what he wants is not just the princess. .
He Gu also wanted those piercing peach blossom eyes to be able to look at him with tender affection like in that dream in front of the Temple of the Son of God.
He wanted the eldest princess to love him as much as he admired her.
At some point, He and Gu Zhengye had already reached the door of the bedroom. It was getting late, and Lan Shu was obviously tired from the day and couldn't hold on any longer. He was squatting at the door and dozing off.
Seeing this, Zhengye wanted to go up to wake her up, but was stopped by He Gu.
He Gu said in a low voice: "Don't call her, I'll go in by myself, you should go and rest yourself."
Zhengye scratched the back of his head, then looked at Lan Shu who was squatting at the door: "That's fine, sir, you..."
After a long while, he swallowed his saliva and said, "...Master will definitely be able to do it today!"
He Gu: "..."
? ?
What's going on in this guy's head?
He laughed and cursed and kicked his ass, and said in a low voice, "Get lost!"
As expected, Zhengye was very self-conscious and ran away in a hurry.
He Gu waited for him to leave, then turned around, quietly bypassed Lan Shu who was snoring softly, and opened the bedroom door cautiously.
It stands to reason that when ordinary people get married, there are definitely not a few people who make bridal chambers and join in the fun.
But now the eldest princess is getting married, she has a cold temper, and the officials in the palace who arrange the wedding ceremony also know that, naturally, they will not engage in such fancy things, which will make the princess angry, so it is all saved.
That's why the wedding room in the princess mansion is so quiet, only Lan Shu is guarding the door.
He Gu opened the door and found that the room was quiet and there was no movement. Could it be that Princess Xindao is also asleep?
After all, it's so late.
Hands and feet then subconsciously relaxed a little bit.
After bypassing the screen, I saw the lamps in the wedding room. I don't know when they were almost burned out. There were only two carved wedding candles in the room, which were also crumbling and about to burn out.
The light was dim.
He Gu looked on the bed, but saw that the bed was empty, turned his head to look, only to find a slender figure lying sideways on the beauty bed in the room.
It really is the eldest princess.
Since she was sleepy, why didn't she go to bed?
He Gu frowned slightly, wanting to go up and wake her up.
However, when he squatted down in front of the beauty's bed and looked at the Eldest Princess's face with closed eyes and resting under the swaying and dancing lights, he was stunned again.
...Your Highness is so beautiful, you can't blame him for staring blankly every time.
He Gu couldn't help but think, wait a little longer, he will wake up Sister Yu'er after he takes another look.
So she lifted the hem of her robe, and simply squatted in front of the beauty's couch, resting her cheeks on her hands and looking at the eldest princess who was sleeping lightly on the couch.
This posture is actually quite awkward, but since he was a little horse, he has always done it in units of hours, so squatting like this may make his legs numb to others, but it is not a problem to him.
What's more, there is Sister Yuer's carrot hanging in front of her, and Master He Xiaohou's little donkey, so she can't find the north.
He Gu just propped his cheeks like this, staring at the sleeping sister Yu'er in a daze, moment after moment, always telling himself in his heart to watch the last moment.
The moon is in the sky.
He Gu squatted closer and closer to the beauty's couch, squatting in front of the couch gradually became kneeling in front of the couch, and finally became lying in front of the couch.
Sister Yu'er's lip balm was wiped off at some point, but it was not wiped clean, leaving a little redness.
He Gu thought in his heart, seeing that Lan Shu is quite reliable, why is he so indifferent to His Highness?
I don't know how to clean her up.
So I couldn't help but want to wipe it for her.
He Xiaohou stretched out half of his hand, but hesitated——
all right?
I just put on lip balm for my sister, nothing else.
He Guru thought,
That slender index finger really boldly approached the princess's slightly pursed, light-colored thin lips.
He Gu couldn't help swallowing, thinking, I'll just touch it.
-----
But outside the door, Lan Shu was woken up from his dream by a chilly night wind.
She shivered in a daze, and it took a long time for her sanity to recover. Then, looking at the dark night, she suddenly remembered the order of the Third Highness, and instantly turned pale——
broken!
His Highness asked her to stop Lord He Xiaohou and tell him to sleep in the hall next door today!
Little Marquis, this... this, this, this, isn't it already in? !
God!Yaoshou! !
The eldest princess wears white, like a nine-day mysterious girl who has fallen into the mortal world, cold and aloof; the eldest princess wears red, like a Suzaku bird flying out of the flames, beautiful and sharp.
And at this moment, the eldest princess in a wedding gown made He Gu unable to take his eyes off even for a moment——
Although the Eldest Princess also wears red clothes on weekdays, today, this complicated, delicate and gorgeous wedding dress makes her even more extravagant and glamorous, and it makes Master He's heart beat just thinking about it Like a drum beating——
She wore this wedding dress for herself.
He Gu's heart turned a thousand times, Lan Shu had already smiled and supported the eldest princess, walked in front of him, handed the eldest princess's hand into his hand, and then bowed her head respectfully and stepped back.
The first time he touched the eldest princess's hand, Lord He Xiaohou almost instinctively clenched that hand, but before he had time to breathe, he suddenly thought that he was born with great strength, and he was afraid that if his mind didn't belong, he would It hurt the eldest princess, so she relaxed a little.
He took the eldest princess's hand carefully, feeling the temperature of her skin.
The knuckles of that hand were slender and distinct, and it was slightly cold, just like the owner of the hand in He Gu's heart.
However, after holding it for a while, He Gu suddenly felt that something was wrong, and only then did he realize——
The eldest princess's hand was even slightly bigger than his. Right now, it was supposed to be his husband, holding his wife's catkin tenderly, but He Xiaohou was very embarrassed...Can't hold it?
Thinking about it carefully, I think it's normal. After all, His Highness is slightly taller than him, and it's not unusual for him to have bigger hands.
He Gu comforted himself like this, but the dignity of a man in his heart was somewhat stung.
Fortunately, he is not very old now, and after living two lifetimes, he also knows that he can grow taller, so he feels a little better in his heart.
The master of ceremonies in the palace had already waited at the side of the hall, seeing that the son-in-law had secured His Royal Highness the eldest princess, he sank his dantian and began to preside over the wedding ceremony.
He Gu put all his attention on the Eldest Princess beside him, he just felt that the place he was in and the people around him at this moment undoubtedly did not make him feel ecstatic, as if he was in a fantasy dream——
It's so good, so beautiful, it's hard to believe it's real.
In the end, he and the eldest princess joined hands to worship the heaven and the earth, the emperor in the palace, and the husband and wife bowed to each other——
It was the first time that he was so close to the eldest princess, and the faint sandalwood scent on her body filled all of He Gu's senses of smell, making him feel distracted for a few times.
After the ceremony was completed, the internal officials bowed and took small steps back, but the queen's eyes were red for some reason. She had been worrying about Pei Zhaoyu's marriage for an unknown amount of time, and now she finally saw her daughter and son-in-law getting married in front of her eyes , I couldn't help but have mixed feelings, I wanted to say too much, but when I got to my mouth, I couldn't say a word, I just raised my sleeves to wipe the tears from the corners of my eyes.
The palace man next to her saw her and quickly handed her a small and delicate silk.
The emperor whispered: "It's a great joy, what's the sadness? If you want to see Yu'er in the future, isn't it just a matter of asking her to go back to the palace to accompany you? Let's ask him to go back today, don't delay it." time."
When the queen heard the words, she didn't say much, she just wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, nodded and said: "What your majesty said is that it's my palace's uncontrollable feelings."
Then he sniffled his nose, smiled through his tears, looked at His Highness's young couple, and said, "Go, from now on...you will be fine in the future."
He Gu and Princess Chang knelt down and kowtowed their thanks.
Then the son-in-law took the princess's hand, turned around and left Yingluan Hall surrounded by all the palace people.
The emperor and empress remained sitting on the throne in the palace, watching their backs disappear at the entrance of the palace.
It wasn't until the hustle and bustle outside the hall faded away that the queen finally sighed and said: "It's really boring to be this queen, I can only see Yu'er away, I really want to go to see the wedding banquet at the princess mansion too Have a drink or two to congratulate the young couple."
Of course, Empress Chen herself knew that it was absolutely impossible for her to do that, so she could only say in a low voice: "From now on, there will be no one in the palace to accompany me."
She said this in a low voice, obviously she was chanting it to the emperor, and only in front of the children and the emperor, she would call herself "I".
The emperor took her hand, shook his head and said with a smile: "What nonsense are you talking about, isn't I not a human anymore?"
The whispers of the emperor and empress in the Yingluan Palace aside, at the same time, Lord He Xiaohou had already led the eldest princess out of the Yingluan Palace, sent her into the chariot, and then stepped on the horse again.
The mighty welcoming team followed the princess to the princess mansion in the west of the city.
It was almost noon, the sun was shining brightly, and the sun was scorching. After leaving the Taihe Gate of the Imperial Palace, the entire Bianjing city was crowded with people like waves compared to when he set off in the early morning.
The marriage of the emperor's daughter and the departure of the emperor's concubine is no longer a happy event for He Xiaohouye alone, but has become the biggest event in Bianjing City in recent years.
Perhaps there were too many people watching the excitement, and even the military officers of the Gyeonggi Bingma Division were afraid that there might be an accident due to the crowd, so they had to send the imperial army to help disperse the crowd and maintain order.
When the wedding party arrived at the Princess Mansion, He Gu reined in his horse and jumped off the horse neatly. He didn't let the maid come forward to help the eldest princess down from the chariot. Laughing again and again.
Even Zhengye, who had been following the procession to see off his relatives, couldn't help touching his nose, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed for his little lord.
But who is Lord He Xiaohou?
He has long believed that the eldest princess is the only wife in his life. Today is their wedding day, and there will never be a second time in this life. He only has eyes for the eldest princess, so why would he care about other people's pointing and laughing?
He Gu carefully helped the eldest princess get off the chariot, and then helped her into the gate of the princess mansion.
According to the wedding ceremony, he should let go at this moment and let Lan Shu send His Highness the eldest princess to the wedding room first.
As his son-in-law, he still has to make arrangements for the evening wedding banquet and entertain guests, and he has serious business to do.
Master He Xiaohou knew that he had to go, but he was a little reluctant to let go of the hand that was holding the eldest princess. Instead, his fingertips were still in the palm of the eldest princess, and he rubbed it slightly.
Pei Zhaoheng's heart skipped a beat for no reason when he was touched by the young man's warm fingertips, and he suddenly withdrew his hand.
After being silent for a while, he said: "You don't need to help me just now, it's just to get off the chariot, I'm not unsteady."
Master He Xiaohou didn't care too much, he didn't hear any displeasure in what he said, he just smiled and said as it should: "Someone needs to help, it's better for me to help than others."
Pei Zhaoheng: "..."
Lan Shu lowered his head and reminded in a low voice, "My son-in-law, I'm waiting for you."
He Gu Hearing this, he looked at the eldest princess reluctantly, and then he was about to turn around and leave, but before he could take a step, he turned around and showed a sunny smile to Pei Zhaoheng.
"Sister Yu'er, I will come to accompany you later!"
Pei Zhaoheng: "..."
When he left, Pei Zhaoheng was silent for a while, then raised his hand and said, "Lan Shu."
Lan Shu knew what he wanted, so he quickly handed over a silk handkerchief without making a sound.
She knew that His Highness the Third Highness was forced to dress up as a bride today, and had to smear red dots on her lips, so she must be in a bad mood at this moment.Although His Highness the Third Highness is serious and taciturn, and has always been clear about rewards and punishments to these servants, the clay figurines are still somewhat earthy. If they are really in a bad mood and they are in trouble, can they still get it right?
Of course, the atmosphere did not dare to take a breath, wishing to bury his head in the mud and become an invisible person.
Pei Zhaoheng took the silk handkerchief, wiped off the vermilion on his lips expressionlessly, and never said a word.
However, although the Princess Mansion has a wide structure, it can be regarded as one of the most spacious and luxurious among the mansions in Bianjing City. The front yard is lit up with lights and festoons, but it can't even receive them. There are so many visitors who come to congratulate.
With so many people, the son-in-law had to entertain them personally, wouldn't he be exhausted?
Naturally, He Gu only entertains acquaintances and nobles.
For acquaintances, like the second son of the Wang family, Wang Muchuan, who had sworn at the beginning that His Majesty would not marry him and the eldest princess, but had a wedding wine in just three months and was beaten in the face.
Today, not only Wang Muchuan came to the palace, but also the eldest brother of the Wang family who is now an official in the court. Wang Muze is different from his younger brother Wang Muchuan. He has a sparse face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. If you are full of rings and rings, I will call you son-in-law."
He Gu raised his glass and said with a smile: "The friendship we grew up together, it's too boring for my elder brother to say these hypocritical words to me!"
Wang Muze knew that he would react like this, so he was not surprised. He just laughed and drank the wine in the glass. Then he turned his head and raised his eyebrows, looked at his silent brother, and said, "You Why don't you make a sound, today is Zihuan's big day, why don't you congratulate him once or twice?"
But Wang Muchuan didn't seem very happy, his pair of dead fish eyes reluctantly paused on He Gu's body for a while, and quickly moved away. He snorted inaudibly in his nasal cavity, and said sullenly: "Congratulations, big brother!" , even if the Wang family congratulates me, what else can I say."
Wang Muze uttered "Hey" when he heard the words, and slapped his younger brother on the shoulder hard. Just as he was about to say something, at the gate of the front yard, there were two shouts from the servant that were loud enough to almost break the sound——
"His Royal Highness is here!"
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince is here!"
The complexions of several people changed at the same time, and when He Gu heard the word "Prince", he instinctively felt a chill in his hands and feet.
The hand that was holding the wine glass trembled slightly.
He Gu was afraid.
It's not that he was cowardly, it's just that in the last life, after being hacked to pieces by a person and executed by Ling Chi, wouldn't you be afraid to see this person again?
No matter how brave and daring a person is, he must be instinctively afraid.
Perhaps Wang Muze was looking up at the moment, paying attention to the crown prince. Big brother Wang didn't notice He Gu's strange behavior, but Wang Muchuan noticed it. He looked at He Gu, frowned slightly and said, "What's wrong with you?"
He Gu forced himself to calm down quickly, forced a laugh and said, "It's nothing, I'll entertain His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Yubi turned and left.
A few days ago, the crown prince made a mistake, offended his father, and was banned in the East Palace. Now that he appears here, it must be that His Majesty has calmed down, so the crown prince has to lift the ban.
As the crown prince of a country, Pei Zhaoyuan's status is unparalleled, but he came here today in a low-key manner, with only a few entourages, and he was only wearing an ordinary snow-white brocade dress, very quiet and not ostentatious.
This is also in line with his usual image in everyone's hearts, benevolent and virtuous, like a mother.
Back then, the pair of sisters, Big Chen and Little Chen, were both famous ladies and famous ladies in Jinghua when they were not married.
My sister is the only prostitute of Mrs. Chen, she is of noble birth, needless to say she was raised with a dignified character, gentle and virtuous.
Although the younger sister was a concubine, she was lucky when she was young, and was chosen by the old and lonely Mrs. Chen Jiatai, and was taken to be raised by her side.
That's why she was born innocent and pretty. She was very intelligent, and she was brought up by Mrs. Chen's wife since she was a child. He can always show off the limelight and win the top prize, making Mrs. Chen Jiatai laugh haha.
She can even learn how to ride bow and horse and shoot.
It stands to reason that it is not a good thing for a daughter in the boudoir to be so flamboyant, but Mrs. Chen raised this granddaughter for fun, so naturally she is not as restrictive as a daughter who is born in the first place.
After all, she is just a concubine, and her value has risen sharply by being raised by Mrs. Tai's side, and she is not expected to marry a noble family in the future, as long as she is happy.
Never thought that this girl would be destined to marry into the Eastern Palace and be the mother of the world in the future.
At the beginning, Xiao Chen naturally couldn't be the empress of the Yuan Dynasty. Let alone others, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty would be the first to object. If you can toss around, you will not be able to shake the sky when you become a queen in the future?
Therefore, the final candidate for the crown princess is not this goblin little Chen, but her virtuous, virtuous, dutiful, and not too coquettish, noble sister--
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty shouted again and again that His Majesty is wise, and they all celebrated with their foreheads and hands.
The candidate for the queen is naturally virtuous.
Therefore, everyone is very satisfied with Pei Zhaoyuan, the prince who was born by the queen, who is kind and like his mother.
Pei Zhaoyuan had a bright smile on his face, he couldn't tell that he was a person who had been locked up for half a year and just came out to let the wind go, he said to him, "I'm late, I only prepared a few small gifts, the son-in-law won't blame me, right? "
He Gu's teeth trembled slightly, and after a while he forced out a smile, pretending to kneel, and said: "His Royal Highness is here, I'm too late to be grateful, how dare you blame me."
Pei Zhaoyuan took the initiative to step forward to support him, without making him kneel down, and said: "What are you doing, today is your happy day with the imperial sister, and we will be a family in the future, Gu Yuan is happy for you in my heart , This is why I want to come here to ask for a glass of wedding wine, if you are called the bridegroom official, kneeling here and there at every turn, it would be boring, then I might as well not come."
As soon as he said this, the people around him laughed kindly——
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really kind, even though he is not of the same mother as His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, he can be so close to He Gu, his brother-in-law.
However, He Gu felt his hands and feet were a little cold. He knew better than anyone else that this appearance was by no means Pei Zhaoyuan's true face.
Although he was supported by him and could not kneel down, he still respectfully said: "How dare you, the king is the king, and the minister is the minister. Your highness and the eldest princess are brothers and sisters, but the minister is still the minister of the holy majesty and the crown prince. Naturally, courtesy cannot be discarded." .”
He Gu knew that Pei Zhaoyuan said it was up to him, but if he really didn't pay homage, then he would definitely have to hang a sign in his heart that he has no king, no father, and is proud of being favored.
The crown prince shook his head and smiled: "Forget it, hurry up and hear that the son-in-law is a first-class straightforward person in Beijing, but he is also so reserved. It's really boring. It seems that you are still alone, which is why you are reserved. You welcome others. Come on, don't worry about being alone."
After speaking, Shi Shiran was really Shi Shiran, and he went to talk to others.
He Gu was in a daze watching his leaving back, but he heard a man humming from behind. He was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and realized that it was the second prince Pei Zhaolin who was following behind the prince just now.
Pei Zhaolin said coldly: "I can make you wait until today, and spoil my imperial sister!"
He Gu: "..."
This is probably because dogs can't spit ivory out of their mouths.
In the previous life, the second prince really said something wrong.
In the end, he couldn't achieve what he wanted, and it wasn't entirely a matter of being inferior to the crown prince's noble family background. The second prince's mouth really contributed a lot.
He Gu is in a good mood today, and he doesn't care about him, he just smiled and said: "Your Highness said very well, the appearance of His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, whoever promises to be wronged by her, there are few men in this world who can match the princess's demeanor, I can only be taller among the dwarves, and choose me, so that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess will feel less wronged, right?"
Pei Zhaolin: "..."
This guy has a thick skin.
After a long while, Pei Zhaolin said again: "I came to congratulate you today, but I just don't want others to come. I didn't come, it seems that I have no manners. I don't want to please you."
He Gudao: "Of course your highness's etiquette cannot be more considerate, and your highness is a noble person, how can you use it to please anyone? It's too serious."
Pei Zhaolin snorted, as if he was satisfied, he shook his hand at the attendant behind him and said, "Bring it up."
Several attendants immediately presented a box, opened it in front of He Gu, and inside was a jade ruyi.
Coincidentally, what the crown prince gave was also Yu Ruyi.
And Pei Zhaolin's handle is just a circle bigger than the crown prince's.
He Gu: "..."
He Gu: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward."
Pei Zhaolin glanced at him, didn't say anything, just left with his nostrils upturned, and went to find someone else to drink.
He Gu didn't bother to take care of him, he just happened to be happy at leisure.
Young Master He has always kept in mind that he is waiting for his eldest princess alone.
Although he also remembered that His Highness the Eldest Princess couldn't touch a man, even if he didn't touch her, today was their wedding night after all.
Even if they only sleep with her in their clothes, and share the same bed for a night, it is of great significance to He Gu.
The night is gradually falling, the night is as black as ink, today is clear and cloudless during the day, so the night is also full of stars, very bright.
Although He Gu intended to drink less than two cups during the banquet, but there were so many guests, including high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and there were not a few of them. .
Zhengye supported him, and said: "Master, I almost sent them away, and now... are you going back to the wedding room?"
He Gu took a deep breath in the night wind, touched his hot face, and suddenly said: "Wait a minute, you go and ask someone to bring a basin of cold water."
Zhengye was taken aback for a moment, a little puzzled, but he didn't ask any further questions, and sure enough, he asked someone to bring a basin of cold water.
He Gu bent down and patted the cold water on his face, forehead, behind the ears, and the back of his neck. He didn't say until he felt much clearer, "Let's go."
He was afraid that if he was drunk, he would lose his mind for a while, and if he offended the eldest princess, she would hate him in the future, and think that He Gu is a man who pushes hard and doesn't know how to pity and cherish jade, and he is also afraid that she will think that he is not Since he really admired her, he just wanted to show her body. If Sister Yu'er annoyed him because of this, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss.
He wanted to have a good life with Sister Yuer for the rest of his life.
He Gu has gradually figured it out these days. Although he was really thinking about the princess because of that very unseemly dream at first, but these days he also found that what he wants is not just the princess. .
He Gu also wanted those piercing peach blossom eyes to be able to look at him with tender affection like in that dream in front of the Temple of the Son of God.
He wanted the eldest princess to love him as much as he admired her.
At some point, He and Gu Zhengye had already reached the door of the bedroom. It was getting late, and Lan Shu was obviously tired from the day and couldn't hold on any longer. He was squatting at the door and dozing off.
Seeing this, Zhengye wanted to go up to wake her up, but was stopped by He Gu.
He Gu said in a low voice: "Don't call her, I'll go in by myself, you should go and rest yourself."
Zhengye scratched the back of his head, then looked at Lan Shu who was squatting at the door: "That's fine, sir, you..."
After a long while, he swallowed his saliva and said, "...Master will definitely be able to do it today!"
He Gu: "..."
? ?
What's going on in this guy's head?
He laughed and cursed and kicked his ass, and said in a low voice, "Get lost!"
As expected, Zhengye was very self-conscious and ran away in a hurry.
He Gu waited for him to leave, then turned around, quietly bypassed Lan Shu who was snoring softly, and opened the bedroom door cautiously.
It stands to reason that when ordinary people get married, there are definitely not a few people who make bridal chambers and join in the fun.
But now the eldest princess is getting married, she has a cold temper, and the officials in the palace who arrange the wedding ceremony also know that, naturally, they will not engage in such fancy things, which will make the princess angry, so it is all saved.
That's why the wedding room in the princess mansion is so quiet, only Lan Shu is guarding the door.
He Gu opened the door and found that the room was quiet and there was no movement. Could it be that Princess Xindao is also asleep?
After all, it's so late.
Hands and feet then subconsciously relaxed a little bit.
After bypassing the screen, I saw the lamps in the wedding room. I don't know when they were almost burned out. There were only two carved wedding candles in the room, which were also crumbling and about to burn out.
The light was dim.
He Gu looked on the bed, but saw that the bed was empty, turned his head to look, only to find a slender figure lying sideways on the beauty bed in the room.
It really is the eldest princess.
Since she was sleepy, why didn't she go to bed?
He Gu frowned slightly, wanting to go up and wake her up.
However, when he squatted down in front of the beauty's bed and looked at the Eldest Princess's face with closed eyes and resting under the swaying and dancing lights, he was stunned again.
...Your Highness is so beautiful, you can't blame him for staring blankly every time.
He Gu couldn't help but think, wait a little longer, he will wake up Sister Yu'er after he takes another look.
So she lifted the hem of her robe, and simply squatted in front of the beauty's couch, resting her cheeks on her hands and looking at the eldest princess who was sleeping lightly on the couch.
This posture is actually quite awkward, but since he was a little horse, he has always done it in units of hours, so squatting like this may make his legs numb to others, but it is not a problem to him.
What's more, there is Sister Yuer's carrot hanging in front of her, and Master He Xiaohou's little donkey, so she can't find the north.
He Gu just propped his cheeks like this, staring at the sleeping sister Yu'er in a daze, moment after moment, always telling himself in his heart to watch the last moment.
The moon is in the sky.
He Gu squatted closer and closer to the beauty's couch, squatting in front of the couch gradually became kneeling in front of the couch, and finally became lying in front of the couch.
Sister Yu'er's lip balm was wiped off at some point, but it was not wiped clean, leaving a little redness.
He Gu thought in his heart, seeing that Lan Shu is quite reliable, why is he so indifferent to His Highness?
I don't know how to clean her up.
So I couldn't help but want to wipe it for her.
He Xiaohou stretched out half of his hand, but hesitated——
all right?
I just put on lip balm for my sister, nothing else.
He Guru thought,
That slender index finger really boldly approached the princess's slightly pursed, light-colored thin lips.
He Gu couldn't help swallowing, thinking, I'll just touch it.
-----
But outside the door, Lan Shu was woken up from his dream by a chilly night wind.
She shivered in a daze, and it took a long time for her sanity to recover. Then, looking at the dark night, she suddenly remembered the order of the Third Highness, and instantly turned pale——
broken!
His Highness asked her to stop Lord He Xiaohou and tell him to sleep in the hall next door today!
Little Marquis, this... this, this, this, isn't it already in? !
God!Yaoshou! !
