Chapter 752 The Eldest Princess' Big Wedding, A Useless Scholar
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, there was snow.
Before dawn, Duan Wang Nangongke left the palace with a welcoming team and headed towards Lingxiaozong.
Beating gongs and drums all the way, playing music and scattering flowers, it was very lively.
The people in the inner and outer cities of Kyoto got up early today and flocked to the streets, preparing to watch the princess's groom.
Even some shops have decided to close their doors today.
Guests from all over the world had already gathered outside the palace.
At this time, in Yaohua Palace.
The eldest princess, Nangong Huoyue, just came out of the training room, and was taking a bath and incense under the service of Yuewu.
In a pool of hot springs, the mist is dense, and the snow-white and beautiful jade body is looming among the pink petals.
On the soft couch by the pool, there were neatly stacked Dahongxi gowns, Fengguanxia gowns and so on.
Yue Wu was squatting by the pool, carefully scrubbing her jet-black hair like a waterfall, and when she raised her eyes, she could see the towering jade peak half hidden and half exposed among the pink petals.
She glanced secretly, and couldn't help but said softly, "Young Master Chu is so lucky to be able to marry Your Highness... He must have been so excited these past few days that he didn't sleep well for several nights."
Nangong Huoyue leaned against the pool, closed her eyes, and said calmly when she heard the words: "He refused before."
Yue Wu guessed: "It may be that his family members are afraid that they will be abandoned after Mr. Chu becomes a son-in-law."
Nangong Huoyue was silent for a while, and said, "Have you found out about his family?"
Yue Wu bowed her head and said: "No. I only know that he suddenly appeared in Mocheng, and after the fall of Mocheng, he appeared in Kyoto again. Then, under Daoling's introduction, he joined the Lingxiao Sect. Jin Yiwei also tracked down for a long time. no idea."
After a pause, he glanced at her again, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, you should know something about him, right?"
Nangong Huoyue frowned slightly, and couldn't help but think of those shameful things again.
Yue Wu glanced at her icy face, and didn't dare to ask any more questions.
There was another silence.
Nangong Huoyue asked: "Has the wedding room been arranged?"
Yue Wu respectfully said: "It was already set up yesterday, do you want to go and have a look at it later, Your Highness?"
Nangong Huoyue said lazily: "No need."
Yue Wu glanced at her again, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, for tonight's bridal chamber, do you... need someone to replace you? If necessary, we need to arrange it in advance, and the Queen Mother should send someone to guard it outside. of."
Nangong Huoyue was silent for a moment, looked at the pink petals swaying gently on the water, and said indifferently: "No need. Since I personally chose him, I will naturally not regret it."
Yue Wu lowered her head and said, "Yes."
Not long after, Yueying's cold voice came from outside: "Your Highness, news just came from the gate of the outer city that Mr. Luo has entered the city."
As soon as these words came out, Yue Wu's hands, which were washing her hair, suddenly trembled slightly.
Nangong Huoyue frowned suddenly, and asked, "Is he alone?"
Yue Ying said respectfully: "There is also that woman named Xia Chan."
After a while of silence in the bathroom, Nangong Huoyue's complicated voice came: "What a nerd."
Yue Wu lowered her head and continued to help her wash her hair, unable to see the expression on her face.
Nangong Huoyue remained silent for a while, and said, "Is there a chance to stop him and take him away?"
Yueying was quiet outside for a while, and respectfully said: "It may be difficult, since he entered the city, he has been watched by people. There are people from Jinyiwei, people from the Yamen, and a few souls, and there are people in the palace."
Nangong Huoyue narrowed her eyes, pondered for a moment, and sighed: "Forget it, let him come. Since he has already decided to come, he has his reasons. Why should I meddle in my own business. For some For people, reputation, righteousness, integrity, etc., are more important than one's own life."
After a moment of silence, she said again: "Today is a day of great joy for me. No matter what, I will not let him die in the palace. Yue Ying, go prepare and keep an eye on him."
Moon Shadow said respectfully: "Yes."
Nangong Huoyue was quiet for a while, then turned to look at the girl behind her, and said, "Do you like him?"
Yue Wu lowered her head and said, "No, it's just... admiration."
Nangong Huoyue stared at her again, and said: "He is not suitable for you. He is indeed talented and capable, but after all, he is just a scholar. Also...he has wives in his family, among them..."
At this point, she stopped suddenly and frowned.
Think again.
She took out the messenger card and sent someone a message: [Senior sister, your husband has entered the city and is going to die in the palace, you should know, right? 】
After the message was sent, she held the communication treasure, her face showed complex emotions, and she thought to herself: That woman...does she really have no feelings anymore?However, she was so attentive to another person, or another soul... Or, she just didn't have any feelings for his husband, she just used it...
After a while, the message came back: 【Know】
Looking at these two words, Nangong Huoyue was startled, and then replied: [Are you too cold-blooded?Even though he had no choice but to use him, he did his best to your Qin family, and he was sincere to your sister.why don't you stop him 】
I thought the other party would not reply again, but soon, the message came back: [You protect him]
"..."
When Nangong Huoyue saw this news, she thought she had misread it, so she frowned again, read it several times carefully, and couldn't help feeling amused. Could it be that this girl is stupid because of her cultivation?Suddenly became so thick-skinned?
She immediately replied: [Sorry, there is nothing I can do.Today is my big wedding day, it is impossible for me to turn against the emperor because of him.He did give me a lot of things, but what Ben Gong gave to him is more]
After a pause, she replied: [Senior sister, are you stupid in cultivation?Or, today I want to marry someone, are you in a bad mood and your brain is broken?You should already know who the consort of the palace is, right? 】
The other party did not reply.
Nangong Huoyue frowned, and waited for a while, then put away the communication treasure, her expression changed for a while, and she muttered: "The girl...won't she come too? Is it for her husband, or for... ...Her girlfriend?"
Immediately she shook her head and said: "No, she dare not come, let alone do anything here..."
"It seems that she has really cultivated to the realm of ruthlessness..."
"I don't care about my husband's life or death, I don't care about my girlfriend becoming another woman's husband, it's pitiful, it's a pity..."
At this time, Yue Ying's voice came from outside the door: "Your Highness, the queen mother is coming, and she said that she will help you comb your hair and put on your summer clothes."
Nangong Huoyue came back to her senses, and the expression on her face became cold and majestic again.
at the same time.
Yongyan Palace, in the underground chamber.
Emperor Nangong Yang was sitting alone in a corner, closing his eyes and practicing.
At this time, Li Gui's voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, the son-in-law of the Qin family has entered the city, bringing with him a maid named Xia Chan. At this time, it is estimated that he will soon arrive in the inner city."
Nangong Yang's face shone with flames, flickering on and off. After practicing for a while, Fang slowly let out a breath of white air, opened his eyes, and said, "Take care of him, don't let anyone intercept him. If he Enter the palace and let him go all the way, if he goes to other places, he will be killed."
Then he snorted coldly again: "I haven't prepared a show on the day of the royal sister's wedding. I didn't expect that he would really have the courage to come. Sure enough, scholars are the most useless things. They can be deceived by just a few words." coming."
Li Gui respectfully said: "Your Majesty, that maid, I heard that the sword technique is pretty good..."
Nangong Yang sneered, and said: "Let her come in together, I just want to try the new cultivation method. Isn't it good? Back then, that bitch named Huagu died in front of that kid. Today , another woman died in front of him..."
Speaking of this, there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, and he said: "On the day of the Taikang feast, he stole the limelight. Today, I will naturally let him stole the limelight."
Li Gui reported again: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager went to the Eldest Princess early in the morning. Also, there was no change in the guards in the palace. There was no change in the troops of the Fire Moon Kingdom and the border. The border is as calm as before..."
Nangong Yang was silent for a while after listening, and said coldly: "Are you admitting defeat? This is not like her character. Continue to let them watch over her. After she gets married, I will start to take these things from her logically." .Even if she had other ideas, there would never be another chance."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Li Gui agreed, and waited outside for a while, when he was about to leave, Nan Gongyang suddenly said: "Bring a palace maid down, let her wear wedding robes and sew a mask on."
Li Gui froze at the door.
Nangong Yang's face, under the reflection of the flames, showed a strange and sinister smile: "I also want to get married today."
Li Gui respectfully said: "Yes."
After speaking, he hurriedly retreated.
Kyoto inner city.
The streets were already filled with bustling crowds.
All the officers and soldiers of the government office had already been dispatched, they drew lines on both sides of the road, stood up, and made a large space in the middle, ready for the procession of the welcoming team and the groom's team to pass by.
At the same time, the entire inner city and outer city were heavily guarded.
However, at this moment, the bridegroom officer was not in the welcoming team, nor was he waiting at the Shili Pavilion outside the city, but quietly came to the inner city.
On the other street, there are few pedestrians, and many shops are closed.
Luo Qingzhou wore a loose Confucian robe, showing his handsome cheeks, and led Xia Chan to the palace.
He didn't hide his whereabouts, nor did he wear a mask, so he walked on the street without any cover.
The street near the palace was surrounded by people and guards.
Luo Qingzhou took Xia Chan and walked over directly.
When the guards saw them, they didn't speak or stop them, allowing the two of them to walk by and walk towards the gate of the palace.
The two seem to be transparent people.
Seeing this, the surrounding people saw this, and some of them dared to go over, but they were stared at by the guard Senhan and kicked back.
There was a lot of discussion in the crowd.
Luo Qingzhou ignored the situation behind him and brought Xia Chan to the palace gate of the outer city of the palace.
The guard at the gate glanced at the two of them, and said expressionlessly, "Please come in, Mr. Luo, Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time."
Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands and led Xia Chan into the palace gate.
The guard glanced at the sword in the girl's hand behind him, but said nothing.
The two, one in front and one behind, continued to walk on the spacious and deserted road in the palace, and soon came to the last gate leading to the palace.
Guarding the gate of the palace is Yu Chiling, a veteran with white beard and hair.
He came down from the city wall, his eyes gleaming, he glanced at the two of them, his eyes stopped behind Luo Qingzhou, and then without any warning, he pulled out the sword from his waist with a bang, and the sharp point of the sword pierced instantly. To the throat of the girl behind him.
Xia Chan stood there, holding the sword in her hand, motionless.
When Sen Han's sword tip was still a little away from her throat, she was still like a sculpture, motionless, not even blinking her eyelashes.
Yu Chiling narrowed his eyes, took another deep look at her, put away the sword in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Although His Majesty has ordered you to enter, this general's responsibility is to protect the palace. Every warrior , before going in, you must check your cultivation base. Mr. Luo, are you a warrior?"
He looked sharply at the boy in front of him.
Luo Qingzhou smiled lightly, and said: "I'm just a scholar, if the general wants to check, just check."
Yu Chiling raised his other hand, holding a bronze mirror in the palm of his hand, and said: "The inspection has been completed, but I just want to ask the young master personally. The young master is a well-known scholar in the world, so naturally he would not lie."
After finishing speaking, he looked at the girl behind him again, and said, "The girl must be a warrior, but I can't see her cultivation base. If it is convenient for the girl, please use your internal strength to release your warrior breath, or stab the general." The last sword is fine."
Xia Chan held the sword, her small face was cold, she didn't move, she didn't say a word.
Yu Chiling squinted at her, waited for a while, and said coldly: "If the girl refuses to show her cultivation, I'm sorry, but you can't enter the palace today."
Xia Chan's eyes turned to the young man in front of her, and she clenched the sword in her hand.
Luo Qingzhou turned around, looked at her, stretched out his hand to hold her little hand holding the sword, and said softly: "Chanchan, then you don't go in, just wait for me outside. After I apologize to His Majesty, I will will come out."
Xia Chan's hands trembled, and when she was about to speak, she met his eyes, and the hand holding her little hand also tightened suddenly.
She was startled, and said obediently: "Yes."
Yu Chiling frowned slightly, with a look of hesitation on his face.
He raised his head and looked towards the city wall.
A figure stood on the city wall and suddenly said sharply: "Your Majesty has an order to let Mr. Luo and this girl go in together. General Yuchi, do you want to disobey His Majesty's order?"
Yu Chiling pondered for a moment, then Fang waved his hand and said, "Let's all go in."
After speaking, with a sullen face, he turned and went up the city wall.
Luo Qingzhou raised his head and looked at the top of the city wall, but the figure standing on it just now had disappeared.
A guard on the city wall had a look of confusion on his face.
It was dark just now, and he seemed to be dizzy, and he didn't know anything, but when he woke up, he found that he was still standing there steadily, without any abnormality.
Luo Qingzhou took Xia Chan into the palace gate and walked towards Yongyan Palace.
Along the way, I met some eunuchs, maids, guards, patrolling imperial forest soldiers, etc., and they all turned a blind eye to them.
When passing through an arch and about to reach Yongyan Palace, there was a burst of "giggling" laughter from the road next to it.
Immediately, a ball suddenly flew over.
"Snapped!"
The ball hit Luo Qingzhou's cheek.
Luo Qingzhou staggered, covered his face, and turned his head to look.
Several court ladies surrounded two little girls and were running towards this side. One of the girls suddenly opened her eyes and said, "Luo Qingzhou! It turned out to be you! You scoundrel, why haven't you come to accompany this county for so long? The main kicker! Hmph, I deserved to be kicked in the face by Chang Le!"
The one who spoke was naturally Nangong Xiaorui from Prince Duan's Mansion.
She didn't go out to play with her today.
Next to Nangong Xiaorui, there was another little girl in a white dress. She looked about the same age as her, and her eyebrows and eyes were quite similar to that of the eldest princess Nangong Huoyue. She looked quite delicate and cute.
She should be the youngest princess, Princess Changle.
Luo Qingzhou stopped, bowed his head, cupped his hands and said, "Craftsman Luo Qingzhou, I pay my respects to the two young highnesses."
Nangong Xiaorui pulled Princess Changle and walked over. He put his hands on his hips and said angrily, "Your Highness is Your Highness, what little Highness! Luo Qingzhou, you look down on me!"
Princess Changle beside her, with reddish cheeks, blinked her big eyes, looked shyly and curiously at the handsome young man in front of her, and said in a low voice: "Xiaorui, is this the very good gatekeeper you mentioned?"
Nangong Xiaorui snorted coldly, and said angrily: "That's the scoundrel! Every time I need someone, all kinds of sweet words, all kinds of company, and when I run out of people, I just wipe my mouth and leave, never to go again ,hateful!"
Princess Changle blinked her big clear eyes, and said in a low voice: "It's really disgusting. What is he doing in the palace today? Is he attending sister's wedding banquet?"
Nangong Xiaorui said contemptuously: "I must have come to flatter Sister Huoyue, I don't know how to be ashamed!"
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head, didn't say a word, and didn't explain.
He wondered, at this moment, why did these two girls, a princess and a little princess, suddenly appear in this place?
Even if it's playing football, the palace is so big, why did you come here suddenly?
No matter how stupid these maids are, they should know this place, they can't just come and play around, right?
At this moment, Nangong Xiaorui suddenly shouted to the back: "Sister Meijiao! Sister Meijiao! Come quickly, look at the villain coming!"
As soon as these words came out, Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his heart suddenly dawned. He raised his head and looked behind them with a complicated expression.
Nangong Meijiao was wearing a red dress today, her figure was still so tall and graceful, but her complexion didn't seem very good-looking. After seeing him, her complexion suddenly turned pale.
Holding the other ball, she walked over slowly, looked at him for a few seconds, and said, "Did you go to the wrong place? The princess's palace is over there."
The two maids next to her looked at her.
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a while, and said: "I'm here to see Your Majesty. I'm here in the palace today. Apart from attending the eldest princess's wedding, I'm also here to plead guilty to Your Majesty."
Nangong Meijiao's hands holding the ball trembled slightly, her lips moved, as if she wanted to say something, but she glanced at the maid next to her.
Luo Qingzhou interrupted what she wanted to say: "Princess, today I sincerely come to plead guilty to His Majesty. There are still people waiting for me at home, and I will go back as soon as possible."
Nangong Meijiao turned pale, glanced at Xia Chan behind him, and said, "Your Majesty is very busy..."
At this time, the maid next to her suddenly said: "Princess, let's take the little princess to the stadium or the back garden to play. If the manager sees it, the slaves will be punished."
Nangong Xiaorui stared at her suddenly and said: "What are you afraid of? If he dares to punish you, you can go to the princess! The princess asked Changle to find the queen mother and let the queen scold them!"
Then he said with a puzzled face: "Luo Qingzhou, why did you make the emperor's brother angry? Today is sister Huoyue's wedding day, and you want to come here to plead guilty. You really know how to choose a date. The emperor's brother is busy now. I don't have time to pay attention to you when I see a distinguished guest."
After finishing speaking, she suddenly came over again, pulled Luo Qingzhou's wide sleeves and said, "Come on, play football with us first, and go to Sister Huoyue's wedding banquet together later. The Lord will personally accompany you to plead guilty with the emperor's brother. By the way, there is Changle, let Changle accompany us when the time comes. The emperor's brother likes me, and he loves Changle. With the two of us by his side, the emperor's brother will definitely not I will punish you, go away!"
Luo Qingzhou stood still.
Nangong Meijiao was anxious, and was about to come over to pull him together, when Li Gui's thin voice suddenly came from the gate of Yongyan Palace not far away: "Hey, Mr. Luo is here! Quick, please come in! Your Majesty is already waiting The young master has been there for a long time, and he also said that he will go to the eldest princess's wedding banquet with the young master later."
Then he bowed his body again, and said with an apologetic smile: "Your Highness, go and play first. After His Majesty finishes seeing Young Master Luo, let Young Master Luo go to play with you, okay?"
"not good!"
Nangong Xiaorui immediately said with a straight face: "Li Gui, Changle wants Luo Qingzhou to play with her now, isn't it, Changle?"
Princess Changle was stunned for a moment, and when she was in a difficult situation, someone pinched her arm suddenly, she let out a "hiss", and immediately said: "Eunuch Li, let... let brother Luo go to play with Changle for a while, okay?"
Li Gui's face froze for a moment, and when he didn't know how to answer, Luo Qingzhou, who was grabbed by his sleeve by Nangong Xiaorui, suddenly cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, you go first, Caomin first go to see His Majesty, and I will go there later."
After finishing speaking, she gently opened Nangong Xiaorui's little hand, turned around and left.
Xia Chan followed behind and glanced at the three of them.
Nangong Meijiao turned pale and said, "Luo Qingzhou..."
Luo Qingzhou didn't look back, and quickly led Xia Chan to the gate of Yongyan Palace.
Li Guipi glanced at him with a non-smiling smile, and said, "Master Luo, please..."
"Snapped!"
Before he could finish speaking, Luo Qingzhou slapped him hard across the face.
Li Gui was startled and angry, covered his cheeks and said, "Mr. Luo, why this time?"
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
Luo Qingzhou slapped him three times in a row, then looked at him and said, "For no reason, I just think you dare not fight back, so I want to slap you."
Li Gui froze immediately and gritted his teeth.
Luo Qingzhou ignored him, took Xia Chan, and strode into the door.
"close the door!"
Li Gui immediately gritted his teeth, speaking bitterly, with an extremely resentful look on his face.
"Squeak..."
The gate of the palace is closed.
Nangong Meijiao, who was standing outside watching this scene, trembled suddenly.
Because the plot is not easy to separate, the two chapters are combined into one, and we will strive for the third update tomorrow
