A concubine to be married dressed as a prince

Chapter 20 The Details of the Marriage

Because of Yan Mo's relationship, Jiang Yanqing's life was much quieter.After Mrs. Xu fainted from anger, she said she was sick and didn't come to teach him etiquette anymore. He was idle and bored, and asked Yan Mo a lot about Chu Chengji.

It turned out that Chu Chengji was not the general's own brother, but a distant cousin who couldn't be farther away.The current emperor Cang Jinyu is not the son of the old emperor, but the son of the sixth prince.

As the old emperor got older, his suspicions became more and more serious, and he killed his brothers and loyal officials.The Chu family is a family of generals, who have guarded the country for Zhengyuan Kingdom for generations.At the old emperor's place, the Chu family was suppressed to the point that only Chu Mou, the general of Zhenbei, and Chu Chengji, who was only the fourth-rank deputy general, remained.

Chu Chengji grew up in the army since he was a child, and never competed for military merits. That's why he didn't get caught by anyone, and he became a deputy general in the Southwest Army Camp.

Later, the Six Princes' Mansion was confiscated, and Cang Jinyu was dispatched to the frontier.Chu Mou intercepted the man halfway, and then raised his troops to rebel.

After Chu Chengji heard the news, he killed the Southwest General Army that night and seized the military power, which became an important force for Cang Jinyu to successfully seize power later.

After Cang Jinyu ascended the throne, Chu Mou was named the Great General of Zhenguo, and Chu Chengji was named King with a different surname.Almost all the members of the Cang family were killed by the old emperor, and the remaining few also died in this war of seizing power.Only the son of the original prince was rescued by a guard, but he has not been found yet.

Although Jiang Yanqing is not good at reading, he has a very bright mind.Yan Mo is just an imperial guard, what he knows must be accurate, but he may not understand everything.According to the development of the matter, he vaguely knew in his heart why his father took such painstaking efforts to let him marry Chu Chengji.

But he might disappoint his grandfather Hou, Jiang Yanqing is not his son now, so he might not be at his mercy.

Moreover, Chu Chengji seems to be a cold-faced and kind-hearted person. After marrying, as long as he works hard, he might be able to win the prince's sincerity.

Thinking about coming here, he has never experienced the life of being single. Even if he is not favored, he is still a prince of the Hou family. Shouldn't he be in a white suit with a folding fan in his hand and go to the flower house to drink flower wine?

The last time he wanted to open his eyes, he happened to meet Chu Chengji at the gate of Wangxian Tower, but he didn't even step through the threshold of Wangxian Tower.He was not reconciled, eager to try and wanted to go again.

Jiang Yanqing took out the purse from the dark compartment at the head of the bed, weighed the money inside, and hooked his fingers at Yan Mo.

Yan Mo stepped forward and touched his ear.

"You Yulin Army usually don't have much time for yourself, have you ever gone out to play?" Jiang Yanqing asked.

Yan Mo lowered his eyes, "Subordinates have one day of rest every month, and they can go out of the palace to do shopping."

"That's not what I meant." Jiang Yan cleared his throat: "Have you ever been to a place where you can watch beauties dance and drink while drinking?"

Yan Mo thought for a while, "You said it was Wangxian Tower?"

Jiang Yanqing nodded sharply, "Yes, yes, have you been there?"

Yan Mo said embarrassingly: "This subordinate has accompanied the emperor before. Are you going, my lord?"

"You've been there, so it's easy to handle." Jiang Yanqing rubbed his hands expectantly, it would be nice to have an old driver lead the way.He hadn't turned eighteen before he came here, and he wasn't old enough to go to the red light district. He didn't expect to be able to see the ancient red light district in this dynasty.

Jiang Yanqing rummaged through boxes and cabinets for a long time before finally finding a white dress that he was not very satisfied with.After changing his clothes, he touched his bare waist, and felt that he was still far from Mr. Hou Men.

Looking at Yan Mo's waist, Jiang Yanqing was a little jealous.Why Yan Mo has two jade pendants, but he, the master, has nothing.

"Brother, how about discussing something? Can you lend me your jade pendant?"

Yan Mo was stunned, and looked down at his waist, wondering: "This is the waist badge of the Imperial Forest Army, this one was given to me by my mother, son, this..."

You can't just borrow the badge from your mother. As for the badge of the Royal Army, Jiang Yanqing rolled his eyes and asked, "Do people outside the palace know this badge of the Royal Army? Do ordinary people know it?"

Yan Mo shook his head, "I don't know."

After a while, Jiang Yanqing touched the jade tablet on his waist and felt relieved.

When the two of them left the Hou's mansion, Yan Mo hesitated and said, "My lord, you are now Prince Chu's fiancée, so it's not good to go out like this?"

"What's wrong? The custom that the bride-to-be is not allowed to go out refers to girls. I am a big man, why can't I go out?" Jiang Yanqing also listened to the etiquette that Aunt Xu said.

Yan Mo had no way to refute, so he could only lead the way silently.

Wangxian Tower is a famous flower building in Shengyang City, and many of the guests who come and go are dignitaries.Although it is daytime, it is still full of people.

Jiang Yanqing looked up at the magnificent two-story attic in front of him. In the middle of the vermilion eaves, hung a huge golden plaque with the words "Wangxianlou" written on it. There was also a pink peach blossom engraved in the lower right corner, which was lifelike and attractive. reverie.

At the door, a sister in a pink shirt warmly greeted her. "Among the two guest officers, do you want to be on the first floor or the second floor?"

Jiang Yanqing glanced at Yan Mo, and Yan Mo whispered in his ear, "The first floor is for listening to music and drinking, and the second floor is for private rooms."

What the private room is used for, needless to say, Jiang Yanqing knows it well.I heard that there were many thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys in the ancient flower house, who couldn't distinguish between male and female, Jiang Yanqing wanted to see and see.

"Second floor."

After Jiang Yanqing finished speaking, the pink-clothed sister immediately became more enthusiastic, "It's a coincidence that the guest officer came here. Today, our new arrivals are waiting to meet the guests for the first time. Guest officer, we Chunhua Lou's rules, when you show up for the first time, all the guests who come here will give you a lot of praise, you see..."

Jiang Yanqing took out an ingot of gold and handed it over.The pink-clothed sister beamed with joy, took the money and wrapped it around Jiang Yanqing's arm without any hassle.

Jiang Yanqing was startled, quickly shook off, and took a step back.

As a result, he retreated and crashed into a familiar embrace.

Jiang Yanqing's heart was beating violently, and he felt inexplicably guilty of being caught on the spot.

"Oh, what's the matter with you, you don't have long eyes to offend the lord, why don't you hurry up and apologize to the lord." A dissatisfied female voice yelled at Jiang Yanqing, and then quickly changed her attitude, half coquettish and half flattering: "My lord, Let's ignore him, I've warmed Xiaozhu's wine, I'll take you there~"

Jiang Yanqing shook off the goosebumps all over his body, and when he turned around, he saw Chu Chengji with a dark face.

Chu Chengji's expression was displeased, and his gloomy expression made his scarred face even more terrifying.

Jiang Yanqing trembled in fright, hurriedly lowered his head and looked away, and then saw a familiar foot on top of Chu Chengji's shoe.

Jiang Yanqing hurriedly took two steps to the side, and apologized awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

Chu Chengji coldly glanced at Yan Mo behind Jiang Yanqing.

Yan Mo immediately bowed and said: "My lord, the third son is bored at home, come out to breathe."

Breathing through to Hualou, this excuse is really that there is no silver 300 taels here.Jiang Yanqing rolled her eyes silently in her heart, and decided to strike first, "I didn't expect to meet the prince here again, what a coincidence."

The word "again" was severely accentuated, you come and I come too, everyone is even, no one should say anything.

Jiang Yan made a good calculation, but there are people everywhere. The pink-clothed sister who has been silently watching her words suddenly smiled and said: "Since we know each other, the prince should calm down. Why don't we go to the second floor together? Today is a good day." play~"

As soon as the words came out, Chu Chengji's face suddenly became a little colder, and Jiang Yanqing felt the low air pressure, so he couldn't help but took two steps back.

"My lord has an appointment with a distinguished guest, and I'm going to Xiaozhu, sister, don't stop me." said the girl who led Chu Chengji.

"You come too." Chu Chengji grabbed Jiang Yanqing's wrist and pulled him up the stairs.

The force on his wrist could not be refused, Jiang Yanqing was pulled staggeringly, and hurried up the stairs.

"Didn't you go to Xiaozhu? Why did you go up to the second floor?" Jiang Yanqing felt a little embarrassed when the two of them chattered and were frequently stared at by the people around them.

No one answered him.Chu Chengji's complexion was not good, and no one dared to speak at this moment.Until the end of the corridor, an elegant wooden door carved with peach blossom branches appeared in front of everyone.

The girl who led the way pushed lightly, and the door creaked open, and the faint fragrance of peach blossoms came from the shop.

"My lord, do you want Ya'er to come in and wait on you?" The girl rolled her eyes and waved the handkerchief towards Chu Chengji.

Chu Chengji dodged without a trace, "No need, Yan Mo, you stay here."

Yan Mo bowed, "Yes."

Jiang Yanqing followed behind Chu Chengji, curiously poking his head inside.Outside the door is an air corridor, and at the other end of the corridor is a two-story pavilion surrounded by pink sand tents, floating gently with the breeze.Suddenly the melodious sound of the piano came from inside, Jiang Yanqing squinted his eyes and looked carefully, it turned out that there was a woman playing the piano sitting inside.

Jiang Yanqing glanced at Chu Chengji with a complicated expression.Unexpectedly, this tough-looking man would like such, such flamboyant things.

Chu Chengji's face turned darker.Jiang Yanqing shrank her neck shiveringly.

The people in the curtain heard the movement here, raised the curtain and walked out.It was only then that Jiang Yanqing discovered that there was a man in a fine attire in the pavilion.

The man looked a little fat, with a flushed face, looking very festive.He opened the curtain, saw Chu Chengji, and immediately stepped forward to salute.

"Prince Chu, you are here, please hurry up."

Chu Chengji let out an "um" in his voice without any ups and downs, and walked towards the pavilion.

The man in Chinese clothes invited Chu Chengji to advance, and then ignored Jiang Yanqing who was behind him. After he got in, he put down the gauze curtain.

Jiang Yanqing stood outside, wondering whether he should follow in or not.

Why don't you go in, the scenery outside is pretty good, there is a big peach tree in the yard downstairs, and there are many people brewing wine under the peach tree.

Jiang Yanqing sniffled, and smelled a scent of wine, not from under the peach tree, but from the pavilion.

"Come in." Chu Chengji said from inside.

Jiang Yanqing opened the gauze curtain uncertainly, "Call me?"

There were only two chairs beside the wooden table, and Jiang Yanqing had no place to sit when he entered, so he had to stand aside awkwardly.

The man with a red face looked at Jiang Yanqing, thinking that he was Chu Chengji's confidant, he didn't care too much, and raised his hand to pour Chu Chengji a glass of wine.

"This is Wei Xianliang, Minister of Rites, and this is Jiang Yanqing, the third son of Marquis Yingwu."

As soon as Chu Chengji opened his mouth, Wei Xianliang's wine was almost poured out of the glass.He glanced at Jiang Yanqing in surprise, and immediately couldn't sit still, "It turned out to be the third son. The lower official has blind eyes, so he didn't recognize him. Please don't blame the third son."

This respect is not for the third son, but for the quasi-wangfei. Jiang Yanqing knew it in his heart, and for Chu Chengji's sake, he smiled very face-savingly and said, "It's okay, I don't know Mr. Wei either."

Chu Chengji waved to the girl playing the piano with a veil on the side, "Go down."

When the girl hugged the piano and retreated, Chu Chengji said to Jiang Yanqing again: "Sit here."

Jiang Yanqing looked at the position he was pointing at, it was just now where Wei Xianliang was sitting.This is a bit too embarrassing, Jiang Yanqing hesitated and didn't want to sit down, and really wanted to persuade Chu Chengji, stay a line in life, so that we can meet each other in the future.

"Master Wei, move that chair over and sit down." Chu Chengji put the wine glass already filled in front of him in Jiang Yanqing's hand, "Today, Mr. Wei and I mainly want to discuss the details of our marriage."
