Lei Yue Longmen

Kangde Palace is located in the southeast of Yuqing Lake. It is the later palace of Princess Kant, where the wedding ceremony will be held.On that day, the young master of the Zhou family would set off from the Zhou Mansion, enter the imperial city, enter through the Donghua Gate, receive the canonization of the Consort Captain outside the Gongming Pavilion, and then enter the harem to complete the grand ceremony with Princess Kangde and participate in the banquet.After marriage, the two can stay in the palace for one night. After paying homage to relatives the next day, Prince Zhou will follow Princess Kant out of the palace to the Princess Mansion.

Early in the morning, Cen Zhu was pulled up to change clothes and wash, put on a beam crown dress, and attended the wedding ceremony with Her Majesty the Empress.Cen Zhu's big wedding was tormented enough last time, this time he saw others being tossed with his own eyes, and he somewhat gloated.However, when Li Jingxi came to say goodbye in a red wedding dress, her mood was not so good.

The way she smiled, seemed to be the reappearance of the toast that night, but there was no need to pretend to be drunk.Regardless of Liufeng's desperate hints, he asked Li Jingchen: "Sister, do you think my outfit is beautiful?"

Li Jingchen didn't answer.She said without any scruples: "At the beginning, when my sister got married for the first time, I was still ignorant and I thought that my sister's mood was as happy as this dress. Now it's finally my turn."

She seemed to be mocking fate, but also seemed to be mocked by fate.

"However, I may not have the patience of my sister to endure humiliation. It is too far away for me to change my life against the sky, so this is my last time. Shouldn't my sister praise me? For the sake of my sister's country, I Willing to bow down and resign to fate."

The atmosphere suddenly turned to freezing point.

Li Jingchen did as she wished, "Okay, you are very beautiful, like the empress mother, the Supreme Emperor will definitely be happy to see you."

Cen Zhu really felt that she might as well be like this? No exaggeration.Sure enough, Li Jingxi's smile froze for a moment, and Rumei forcibly coaxed her out of the door. Before leaving, she turned her head frequently, and there was a crystal tear in the corner of her eye, which was pasted with Huadian.It reminds people of jade that is broken and put together for no reason.

Cen Zhu suddenly didn't want to attend the wedding anymore.

But it was impossible for her to let Li Jingzhu go alone, so she still appeared in the bustling ceremony as scheduled.

One of the highlights of the night, the Supreme Emperor Li Pinghong will appear at the wedding ceremony.Everyone was mentally prepared. However, when the gray-haired, hunchbacked old man came slowly from the door, everyone was surprised. Li Pinghong has aged like this.

His eyes seemed to be useless, and when he descended the steps, not only did he need someone's support, but he kept poking his head forward, as if he was afraid of stepping on the air.Seeing this situation, many ministers watching the ceremony had mixed feelings, and secretly wiped away their tears.

The empress personally went down the steps to welcome the Supreme Emperor into the left-hand side seat, and all the officials hurriedly bowed and saluted, "I will see the Supreme Emperor!" Li Pinghong seemed to be startled by the voice, and said hoarsely: "Oh, good, good."

Li Jingchen signaled all the ministers to flatten, and Cen Zhuo looked at Jiang Yuxin beside Li Pinghong, who was wearing a very simple orange-red deep coat, and his demeanor also showed an old look. It really felt like a world away.

When Li Jingxi came out of the wedding room, he saw Li Pinghong, left the newlywed son-in-law behind, and ran towards him, "Daddy!" Hugged in her arms, Hong Ying burst into tears of joy, "It's Dai Jing! It's really Dai Jing! Let daddy see, Dai Jing is getting married, this red dress is so pretty, wait a minute! Daddy brought you a present!"

Tremblingly, he took out a four-shaped thing made of bamboo from his cuff, with a long tail, pointed ears and a pointed mouth, and insisted: "This is, little white fox, little white fox! Daddy made it up by himself, do you like it?"

Princess Kant held the white fox tightly, her shoulders trembled, and she almost fell to the ground crying.

Rumei was afraid that she would continue to cry and delay the salute, so she helped her up and comforted her: "Second princess, don't cry on the day of great joy, let's salute quickly, it is not good to delay the auspicious time. gone."

Seeing Li Jingxi crying bitterly, Mrs. Zhou was in so much pain that she didn't know what to do, so she slapped Zhou Xiaoshan across the face, "Why don't you go over there and support me! It's like sticking a log here!"

Zhou Xiaoshan was forced to walk over helplessly, and together with Ru Meimei helped Princess Kangde down the stairs.

"The auspicious time has come, the newcomers should salute!"

After watching the wedding ceremony, the Supreme Emperor will go back.But Jiang Meiren, who was always by her side, disappeared and was looking for someone.Lan Xi had already supported him, and forcibly led him down the steps, "The Supreme Emperor, I will escort you back to the palace!"

"Hey, this..." The Supreme Emperor has gotten used to Jiang Meiren's care, and wants to wait for her. Lan Xi is worried about nights and dreams, so he said: "There are too many people here, and Jiang Meiren may be separated. I will personally send her back to the palace later. , you always go back and wait."

Li Pinghong didn't say anything, and was surrounded by a group of guards, he went out of the corner gate of Kangde Palace, got on a sedan chair, and went to Taihua Palace in the southeast corner.

Just a quarter of an hour ago, Cen Zhu saw Jiang Xunxin who had already changed into palace attire and hurried over by the lake.She was short of breath, with a frightened expression on her face, and she walked quickly while looking around.Cen Zhu motioned for her to get on the boat, only then did Jiang Xunxin see a small boat parked by the lake, without saying a word, he stepped on the deck and got on the boat.

Cen Zhu was a little surprised, this woman always did things unexpectedly.When Bai Lu sent the letter, he was obviously thoughtful, but at this moment, he didn't even read it, and went directly to the thief's boat.Isn't she afraid that there will be a hole in the boat and the body will sink to the bottom of the lake?

Cen Zhu personally rocked the boat and took her to the center of the lake.After Jiang Xunxin boarded the boat, she didn't say a word at first, and when she realized that the direction was wrong, she said coldly: "This is not the direction to Yuqinglou!"

"That's right," Cen Zhu said unambiguously, "This is the direction to the northwest corner gate."

"What do you mean?"

Cen Zhu suddenly threw something to her, but Jiang Xun couldn't catch it, and dropped it in the cabin, then bent down to pick it up, and barely saw that it was a token, "This is the waist card for entering and exiting the palace gate, you can hold it, you can Feel free to go through the northwest corner door without going through any tunnels."

Jiang Xun asked heartily, "Who gave this to you?"

"I'll just tell you clearly! This is from His Majesty, and there is still a stack of bank notes here, enough for you to go home and start a good business, and enough to support yourself in the future."

"You revealed the news to His Majesty? Have I told you that this matter can only be known by God, you know me, otherwise..."

"You can't blame me for this. To me, Your Majesty is heaven. She already knew about our deal when you let the little white deer out for the second time. If I don't confess, I will have no good results." eat."

Jiang Xunxin seemed to be very emotional, and said through gritted teeth, "I knew all of you men were unreliable."

"Stop pretending, you clearly know that I am a woman, your so-called big secret is just revealing my identity. To be honest, I really won't be afraid. In the world, about my male and female appearance, There are already enough rumors about the appearance of a woman, and you are not bad. But once you reveal your evil intentions, it will be really catastrophic."

Jiang Yuxin bit her lip and didn't speak for a long time.

Cen Zhu said again: "So, while there is still a chance, hurry up and leave the palace. It is not too late to start a new life in your thirties. This palace was very suitable for you, but it is no longer suitable."

"Opportunity? Do you think I still have such a chance?"

"Otherwise, what are you holding?" Cen Zhu shook the oar and said, "I finally asked Your Majesty for this opportunity. She promised me that she would let you go out of the palace, but there is only one chance tonight. At the beginning of Haishi , the gate at the northwest corner will be opened once, and a group of guards will be let out of the palace. You just follow out with the token, and the palace gate will be closed after a quarter of an hour. At that time, you won’t be able to get out even if you want to.”

Cen Zhu counted the time and rolled the boat to the northwest bank, three quarters of an hour before the palace gate opened.She handed her a package, "There are some clothes, banknotes, and dry food in it. It will last you two or three days. You can go northwest along the palace road in front, and you can reach the northwest in two quarters of an hour." Jiaomen, if someone interrogates you on the road, you can take out a token to ensure that you can go unimpeded. In addition, I arranged for someone to pick you up outside the palace. That person's name is Lao Yu, and he can escort you out of Beijing. As for what to do next? Go, it's up to you."

Cen Zhu thought he had done the utmost of benevolence and righteousness, and sent Jiang Xunxin away.She looked up at the silver hook above her head, and felt that although the moon tonight was not full enough, it still had a secret smell. The ceremony on the other side seemed to be festive, and it seemed that the curtain had not yet come to an end. She didn't really want to go back.So I got a jug of stolen wine from the cabin, moored the boat on the shore, and quietly admired the moon over the wine.

How long has passed, she doesn't know.Judging that the northwest corner door should be open, she felt that if she didn't go back, she should be scolded, so she shook her hand and planned to leave.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly rushed towards her and jumped onto the boat.Cen Zhu felt that she had knocked over the jug, so he took a closer look and found that it was Jiang Xunxin.

"Why didn't you leave?"

"I don't believe in this token!" She said bluntly, "I also don't believe that someone will treat me well for no reason!"

Cen Zhu stared at her in disbelief, "I... I said, are you sick?"

"Yes, I'm sick. Except for my sister and brother-in-law, no one has ever taken care of me in this world. I don't believe in the benefits that anyone gives me, especially the one that gets something for nothing? "

Cen Zhu was about to die of anger, "You don't believe me, why didn't you say in advance, now that the palace gate is about to close and you come here to fix this, what exactly do you want to do?"

"I will go out of the palace through the tunnel according to the original plan!"

Cen Zhu was almost pissed off by her, this woman is simply a troublemaker.

"Then I didn't care about you, why do you count on me?"

Jiang Xunxin was silent for a moment, "Because I know that a senior official of Qin must do what he says? And you have helped me many times, this time is not bad!"

What kind of theory is this?How could there be such a thick-skinned woman in the world?

She threw the scull and said: "I don't care, I've already given you a chance, you gave it up yourself, you can go wherever you fall in love, don't expect me to help you again!"

"Are you giving me a chance? You are telling me to die!" She suddenly became excited.

Cen Zhu was surprised: "What do you mean?"

"Do you know what kind of person is next to your pillow? She will kindly send me out of the palace? Since she took power, all the people who served the Supreme Emperor and were pregnant with Liujia were all ordered to have abortions, and some died directly after giving birth. Bed! Will she let me go? Do you think I'm a three-year-old?"

Cen Zhu knew that she was talking about a concubine's accidental miscarriage and death. This incident was widely spread, and she was sure that it had nothing to do with Li Jingzhu.However, he didn't bother to explain to her, and just sneered:

"Do you know that the emperor's promise is more than a thousand catties. Since she promised to let you out of the palace, she will never renege on her promise and become fat. If you don't even believe this, then who else will you believe?"

"She made the promise to you, not to me. She has hatred for the Supreme Emperor, and she will not let any of the Supreme Emperor's heirs stay in the world. The return of ten sons is the best proof. I have the flesh and blood of the Supreme Emperor in my belly. What do you think? , will she keep me?"

Cen Zhu felt a chill in her heart, she felt that it would be unbearable to stay with this woman for another quarter of an hour.
