[Red Mansion] Married by decree

It was rainy today, and a few people in coir raincoats and bamboo hats approached Anshun Palace.One of them said a few words to the porter, and then took out a token from his waist.The raindrops fell on the token and flowed down the token.

"My lord, please wait a little while, and I will report to you now." The porter didn't know the other party, but the other party came with the badge from the palace, so he dared not neglect, so he had to let the other one rush to report to Zhou Changshi.

When Zhou Changshi heard that someone was coming from the palace, he quickly ordered someone to report to Daiyu, and went to invite him in himself.

Zhou Changshi politely led him to the hall, where Daiyu had already sat on the main seat and waited.Daiyu sat there with no expression on her face, she was holding the teacup in one hand and pinching the lid with one hand.

"Princess, someone has brought it here." Zhou Changshi saluted Daiyu, and then said.

Although there were several guards who came to the palace, the one who brought Daiyu was only the leader.Everyone else was waiting outside the hall. When that person saw Daiyu, he quickly knelt down to greet Daiyu. Because of Daiyu's status, he didn't look directly at Daiyu from the beginning to the end, so he naturally missed Daiyu's eyes. To Zhou Changshi's gaze and Zhou Changshi's nod.

"The servant has seen the concubine." The man's tone was not too respectful, because Daiyu's aura was not strong enough, she was much stronger than ordinary people, but not as good as the main concubine in the palace. .

Daiyu didn't ask that person to invite him, and said directly: "The prince is not in the mansion, my concubine has sent someone to find him."

The man knew that this was Daiyu's prestige, and knew that his attitude just now had offended others.He came here this time because he had something important to do, so he didn't want to cause any complications, so he spoke again with an even more respectful tone: "My lord, the lord was seriously injured, and the slave was ordered by the emperor to invite the lord and the young prince into the palace. "

"Didn't Jin'er be taken into the palace by the Queen Mother?" Daiyu frowned after hearing this, and said in a tone full of doubts and doubts: "You are the emperor's bodyguards? Why hasn't this princess seen you before?"

After three questions in a row, the guard who asked the question tightened his heart, knowing that he had exposed a flaw, he quickly made up for it and said: "My lord, the emperor and the prince left the palace early this morning, and they didn't know that the little prince was admitted into the palace. .”

The man only answered Daiyu's first question. He knew that he had underestimated Daiyu at first, and he was afraid that Daiyu would see any flaws again, so he added another sentence, but he wanted to use Yunze's safety to disturb Daiyu. think.

He said, even adding some eagerness to his tone: "The prince is seriously injured, and the imperial doctor is helpless. The imperial doctor said that everything depends on the prince's good luck. If the prince has not woken up before midnight, there is no way to recover."

"What did you say?" The teacup fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.Daiyu didn't seem to notice, she just looked at the guard in horror.Afterwards, Daiyu said to Zhou Changshi: "Zhou Changshi, prepare a sedan chair for this princess to enter the palace."

Zhou Changshi kept sending several people out, and waited until Daiyu's sedan chair was out of sight, then turned around and went back into the mansion.He walked all the way into Daiyu's courtyard, opened the door and went into the study.

"The person has already left." Zhou Changshi bowed and said, more respectful than when he faced Daiyu just now.

In the study room, the person sitting behind the desk was very similar to Daiyu who had just left, and was dressed exactly the same, the only difference was the jade pendant around his waist.Daiyu who left was wearing a suet white jade pendant, its shape was similar to the one on Yunze's waist, with seven layers, but it was smaller in size, more suitable for women to wear.

As for Daiyu in the study, two jade dice are hung on the girdle around her waist, and a red tassel is hung under each dice.The middle of the dice is empty, and there are red beans inside.

Linglong dice puts red beans on the bones and knows nothing.

This waist pendant was a birthday present from Yunze to Daiyu some time ago.The red beans were selected by Yunze himself, and the dice were carved by Yunze himself.

Daiyu stretched out her hand to grab the jade pendant around her waist, and said lightly: "I see."

Today, Daiyu stayed in the study.In her hand was a book that she had been reading all this time.At this time, the pages of the book were still on the last page I read yesterday, but Daiyu didn't read a single word.

On the other side, the sedan chair has been going all the way since it left Anshun Palace, but it did not enter the palace, but arrived at the back door of a house.The scale of that house is not inferior to Yunze's Prince Anshun's Mansion, it is Prince Zhongshun's Mansion.

"This is not the imperial palace, who are you and what do you want to do to the princess?" You Lan, who was following the sedan chair, saw that the situation was not right, and asked.

Just as Youlan finished saying this, the guard who followed them drew out a knife and put it on her neck.You Lan is worthy of being Daiyu's big maid, in such a position, she doesn't change her face, let alone panic.

"What do you want to do, my lord is the regent!" You Lan shouted sharply, and directly took out Yunze to suppress him.With Yunze's current status, there are really not many people who dare to offend him.

The guards looked at You Lan with less contempt, but a little more admiration. Such a courageous woman really deserves their admiration.The leading guard said: "My lord wants to see the princess, and I hope she will forgive me for inviting her to come over in this way."

Even though the man said so, there was no apology in his tone, and the knife on You Lan's neck didn't show any intention of taking it back.

"I want to see my concubine, I think it is true to use my concubine to threaten the lord." Even with a knife on her neck, You Lan did not speak politely.Regarding this, the guards didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it, and the big maids who were favored by the master all had this attitude.

"Youlan!" Daiyu's light reprimand in the sedan chair stopped Youlan from continuing: "This princess also wants to see who your lord is."

There was a knock on the door, but Yunze didn't even lift his head, and said directly, "Come in."

After finishing the words to be written, he put the pen in his hand on the grid, and then looked up at the person coming.The person who came in was a guard from Yawai. Since he came in, he had bowed his waist, and his attitude was very humble.

At this time, he was holding a brocade box in his hand: "My lord, my lord Zhongshun sent someone over, saying that I have something to give you."

Quan De stepped forward to take the brocade box from the guard, and put it on the desk in front of Yunze.Yun Ze leaned back on the back of the chair without raising his hand, he glanced at Quan De and signaled Quan De to open the brocade box.

In the huge brocade box, there is only a small suet white jade waist pendant.Yunze held the waist pendant in his hands, but his face remained unchanged: "Where is the person who delivered the things?"

"Go back to the prince, people are waiting outside." The guard glanced carefully at Yunze's direction and said.

Yunze played with the jade pendant in his hand, and said in a very calm voice: "Let someone come in."

The door was opened again, and Yunze recognized the servant who walked in, and that person was indeed the old man who followed Prince Zhongshun: "You go out first."

After hearing this, the guard quickly retreated.When he went out, he carefully closed the door.Since the prince did not let him listen, it was obvious that what they said next could not be heard by outsiders. He closed the door on his own initiative in order to sell himself in front of Yunze.

"Brother Zhongshun, what does this mean?" The jade pendant was placed heavily on the desk and made a sound.The aura around Yunze suddenly became violent, and for a moment, the person who came to deliver the things even thought that Yunze would kill him.

Even though he was startled, the man's tone still didn't fluctuate much: "My prince just wants to see him."

"This is how your master invites people?" At this moment, Yunze calmed down, and his voice was not as violent as before.

The man didn't open his mouth to justify anything, and he didn't need to justify anything, he just repeated the previous sentence.

"Quan De prepares the sedan chair." Yun Ze said again.

Quan De was a little worried. Prince Loyalty and Obedience was not a good person, and he had a concubine in his hands. He was afraid that he would suffer in the past. He asked cautiously: "My lord, do you want to send more people to follow?"

"Don't be smart." Yunze glanced at Quande and said, even if it was for Daiyu's safety, he couldn't let more people follow.

Quan De knew that he had offended Yun Ze, so he hurriedly pleaded guilty: "Your servant is guilty."

In Prince Zhongshun's mansion, Yunze saw Daiyu who was full of anger, and Prince Zhongshun who was sure of winning: "Brother, what exactly do you want to do?"

"What are you doing? Naturally, I want to take back the throne that belongs to me." Prince Zhongshun sneered and said, "I don't know if the ninth brother is willing to work for my elder brother."

"Aren't you afraid that I will tell Brother Huang?" Yun Ze asked back.

Prince Zhongshun obviously didn't care much about this, since he had the guts to invite Yunze over, he was naturally sure to make Yunze compromise: "If the ninth brother does this, I can only drag your concubine to be buried with me."

"You dare!" Yunze stood up straight away, without the slightest composure just now, he knew that what Prince Zhongshun said was not a joke: "What do you want me to do?"

When Prince Zhongshun spoke, it seemed that the two of them were not talking about any major matter of treason, they were just talking about what to eat today: "Brother Wei just wants the ninth brother to bring some people into the emperor's bedroom."

"Wishful thinking, I will not betray the emperor." Yun Ze directly refused, saying firmly.

Prince Zhongshun was not annoyed, he just said lightly: "Ninth brother better think clearly, don't waste the lives of nine younger siblings and nephew in vain."

Daiyu and Yunjin were Yunze's lifeblood, so Yunze remained silent, a long silence.

Prince Zhongshun was not in a hurry, just sat on the main seat and waited quietly for Yunze to speak. From the very beginning, there was only one answer.

In the study room of Anshun Prince's Mansion, You Lan has been standing beside Daiyu and waiting for her. She knows that Daiyu is worried, and also knows that it is useless to say anything, so she just stands quietly and keeps company.Seeing that the sky was getting dark, she asked, "Princess, do you want someone to prepare dinner?"

"No need, Youlan, you are tired after standing for so long, go down and rest first." Daiyu said, but there was no news from the palace, she was worried about Yunze, and she had no intention of having dinner.

Youlan knew that Daiyu was asking her to go down to rest and eat something, but Daiyu didn't eat, so she didn't have the heart to eat: "Youlan is not tired, Youlan is here with the princess."

It was getting darker and darker, You Lan hurriedly lit the lamp in the study.Daiyu turned the pages of the book in her hand, but she didn't read a single word: "Youlan, go and ask the prince if he has sent someone back."

"Princess, don't worry, the emperor and the prince have already arranged everything, everything will be fine." You Lan said.

Both she and Daiyu knew in their hearts that there was no need to ask, if the prince came back, or if the prince sent someone back, they would definitely come to Daiyu's side first, so that Daiyu could feel at ease.

"Yunzhen, you won, I hope you will do what you said." Yunze's voice was a little hoarse, and he rubbed his forehead vigorously with his hands.

Yunze actually called Prince Zhongshun's name directly, it can be seen that he was very angry.Prince Zhongshun didn't care about this. After tonight, Yunze himself would be beyond redemption. Why should he care about a dying person: "Ninth brother, don't worry, until tomorrow, I will send the ninth brother and sister back to your residence safely As for the nephew, I didn't give my brother's orders, and a brother would not do anything to harm my nephew."
