Chapter 245: Hypocrisy
VIP chapter content,
In the Confucian Palace, the shadow guard Changping walked up to Jin Sheng and bowed down to report: "Lord Wang, Rongzhi's carriage left the Wude Gate and ran to the house prepared in advance in Nancheng. Pen~Fun~ Pavilion www.biquge.info's subordinates saw him take the eighth princess out of the car and into the house before returning. ”
Jin Sheng was about to nod, but Gonggong Kang came forward to report: "Lord, something happened in the palace." It was said that the county lord of Kangyang was invited to the banquet but disappeared!"
"Oh?" the Confucian King looked past the two of them to the pomegranate wood with sparse branches outside the window, this dried flower and tree were carefully arranged by him, I don't know if she likes it or not...... "It's not dead, but missing?"
Gonggong Kang's face was gloomy, knowing that the Confucian King had misunderstood what he meant, so he said: "Lord, the eighth princess is still in the Bixin Palace! In the evening, she has never stepped out of the palace gate at all!"
The Confucian King put the tea cup on the table, making a crisp collision sound, but the small sound startled both Changping and Kang Gonggong. He stood up and stared at the two of them, and went through the matter in his heart, and realized that things were not developing according to Song Ji's mind at all. He asked in a deep voice, "Changping, can you see the appearance of the woman Rong Zhi brought out of the palace?"
"No, I've always wrapped my head and face, but look at that plain dress is the eighth princess......" he said, he didn't dare to go on anymore, and he could naturally imitate others by dressing up, and now if they didn't know what was going on, they would be as stupid as Rongzhi Song Ji. The Confucian King slapped it on several cases, and the hearts of Changping and Kang Gonggong were shaken three times. "Song Ji, this idiot!
If he interfered in this matter, he would inevitably get contaminated, so he only let people stare at a few places, but he didn't expect Rong Zhi and Song Ji to be so useless. Gonggong Kang said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that Song Ji underestimated the thoughts of the women in the palace. The Confucian king paced a few steps with his hands in his hands, then stood still, and seemed to understand what he meant: "What did Ah Ci do today?"
Gonggong Kang broke out in a cold sweat, and seemed to have felt that the would-be princess seemed to be in harmony with the prince's face, and said cautiously at the moment: "The slave has already called Xiaoyinzi to come over and ask clearly, the county lord of Yongning has not been out of Shoukun Palace since he returned from Fuling Palace, until the evening, the county lord got it from the county lord of Kangyang, the palace maid named slave, wearing a crimson and gorgeous palace skirt, walked around the Liuyue platform and went back. ”
The county lord of Kangyang wore a plain dress unusually, but the palace maid next to Li Shuci wore a gorgeous palace dress to confuse Song Ji according to Kangyang's appearance, what else is there to understand, Ah Ci, Ah Ci! You are really my good princess! The Confucian King slapped again, and several cases actually shattered into several pieces with a bang. Gonggong Kang and Changping hurriedly knelt down and begged Jin Sheng to forgive him: "The prince is angry......"
Song Ji knelt at the feet of Emperor Xuwen with a sweat on his head at this time, could it be that the woman taken away by the third prince turned out to be the county lord of Kangyang? Then how should he say that he could get rid of the suspicion? He followed Rong Zhi inch by inch, if Rong Zhi took the county lord out of the palace to play, if it did not match Rong Zhi's confession, it would be even more impossible to explain it clearly at that time, "Your ...... Majesty"
Just when Song Ji was about to say that he didn't know what was going on, the guards outside came in to report: "Your Excellency, Your Royal Highness, the third prince of Xia Kingdom, has sent the county lord of Kangyang back to the palace, I heard that there was a big misunderstanding in the palace, and I am rushing here to make amends to the king." ”
"Hmph! misunderstanding?" Emperor Xuwen snorted coldly, looked at Song Ji with great displeasure, and swept the black pressure standing in front of the hall to look at the lively palace maids and concubines and others: "If you have nothing to do, go down." ”
Li Shuci stood beside the Queen Mother and didn't move, her current well-behaved made the Queen Mother very pleasing to the eye, and she deliberately went to please her, and she almost became a celebrity in the eyes of the Queen Mother, as long as she didn't go to the Joy Garden, the Queen Mother would ask her wherever she went.
After a while, the figures of Rong Zhi and Kang Yang appeared in front of everyone, the two walked side by side, their expressions were very harmonious, everyone was a little surprised, even Emperor Xuwen squinted his eyes in surprise, and the Queen Mother hurriedly asked: "Kang Yang, where have you been?
Kang Yang was sarcastic in her heart, but her face was silent, she was about to leave this place where no one treated her sincerely!" Please forgive the Queen Mother and the king. ”
Rong Zhi said on the side: "Queen Mother, your lord, it is not Kangyang's business, it is all your fault." ”
Emperor Xuwen saw that Rong Zhi was so kind to Kang Yang, and his eyes fell on the two of them for a while before he finally asked, "Tell me, why is it your fault?"
"When I first arrived in Chongnan, I heard that the lord of Kangyang seemed to be afraid of living far away from his hometown and in a distant country, so he was unwilling to marry him. Rong Zhi glanced at Kang Yang with a soft face, Kang Yang seemed to feel her gaze, and his cheeks turned red. I only heard Rong Zhi continue: "So I have been very distressed in Xia, thinking about how to make the county lord of Kangyang accept Zaixia's intentions, and I think that I can please her before the wedding." ”
Kang Yang was afraid of not being so simple at the beginning, it was almost to the point of seeking death and life, and his words were very tactful, which not only gave Emperor Xuwen face, but also made Kang Yang very grateful. "So today, I invited the county lord of Kangyang and the eighth princess to a banquet together, but I didn't plan to feast the two of them together. intercepted the county lord of Kangyang halfway in the next place, and wanted to take her out of the palace to have a look. Let Song Ji represent the eighth princess to make amends. Unexpectedly, there was a big misunderstanding, please forgive me......"
Li Shuci looked at Rong Zhi's hypocrisy, and remembered Shen Yuan's deception of her from beginning to end, and her whole heart suddenly turned cold, these men could be so shameless! Once she believed in Yang Yan, but Yang Yan gave up on her for the sake of her family. She once believed in the Confucian King, but the Confucian King not only used her in many ways, but even the initial acquaintance was calculated by him! Even if he really had true feelings for her?
In the future, she will never trust anyone with sincerity again.
Emperor Xuwen's eyes looked back and forth on Rong Zhi and Kang Yang for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "I didn't expect the third prince to be such a person who understands customs, Kang Yang will marry you tomorrow, you can't wait to get her favor, you are really an infatuated man! Song Ji, that's the case, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Song Ji didn't expect things to turn out like this, but he also replied unequivocally: "Before the county lord returned to the palace, it was a matter of the county lord's reputation, and the minister didn't dare to talk nonsense." ”
Kang Yang blushed and hurriedly bowed. Rong Zhi also followed her, but there was a bit of harmony with the qin, Emperor Xuwen was willing to see this scene, and the harmony was greatly beneficial to what he was about to do: "Okay, since it was a misunderstanding, that's it." It's not early, and there will be a ceremony tomorrow, so let's go back and rest. ”
The recent excitement is one after another, and even if the palace maids don't know the truth, they feel dizzying.
In order to show the solemnity and sincerity of the kiss, the team of greeting the relatives was extremely ostentatious in Shangjing around the boss, Rong Zhi was wearing a gold satin red background dress with a smile, sitting on a tall horse upright, plus his appearance was outstanding, watching the lively people circle and circle, the scene was extremely lively. And walking in the long line behind him, at a glance, all young and handsome, all in red brocade clothes. Behind them, there were hundreds of palace maids wearing dresses and capes of the same color with beautiful faces, all holding vases, knots, mirror boxes, saro, dragon and phoenix candles, clear umbrellas and other things, which were simply dazzling.
Emperor Xuwen canonized the county lord of Kangyang as the princess of Kangyang, and the dowry she married was no less than that brought by Rongzhi, which gave Kangyang confidence. There is no shortage of praise for Princess Kangyang in the Dibao cheat sheet in Shangjing, after all, her father died for Chongnan.
The harmony ceremony is cumbersome, the momentum is huge, and the sound of drums in the palace is peaceful and joyful.
“…… Zhuzi Waiguan, cut love, will become a marriage of thousands of miles, and hope to determine the industry of the Quartet. With its integrity, the country is peaceful...... It is advisable to take the young daughter as the princess of Kangyang, and the fate of the ceremony, the quasi-......" edict of the secretary, Kangyang will stay away from his homeland and marry a foreign country.
There is no queen, but there is a queen mother. The Queen Mother earnestly advised, Kangyang was full of pearls and emerald and said goodbye to Emperor Xuwen, and the Queen Mother and many princes and princesses got on the sedan chair with complicated expressions. The team set off from Da'an Palace, Kang Yang's head was covered with pearls and gemstones, and her heart was also extremely heavy.
During this time, she was anxious, scared, and even wanted to use various means to escape all this, but in the end she still couldn't resist the shackles of fate and was honored and ...... Is it someone who can go through her life, she really doesn't know, but yesterday's glorious actions gave her a little hope.
She has lived in Da'an Palace for seventeen years, and in these seventeen years, there has been no trace of anything related to her. Even the last Shu Yun was terminally ill, and she couldn't go to Daxia with her, she was still alone, lonely and lonely from one court to another......
"If Kang Yang can settle down in Daxia so far, it will also be her blessing. Although Li Shuci was disgusted by her shamelessness, he didn't have the same deep grudge against Li Shuqiao and Shen Yuan. You come and go, no one owes anyone, anyway, the two have nothing to do with each other from now on. "I'm afraid, she's still as smart as she used to be. ”
"Even if Princess Kangyang can manage herself well, Rong Zhi is undoubtedly a villain, and when she gets out of the realm of Chongnan, she may not have a good face. Xia Xing stood behind her and watched the palace people remove the red silk word little by little, quite a feeling that some people were walking away from the tea and cooling, after all, Kang Yang had just left the palace gate. "And the girl is too good-hearted, if there is a chance, Princess Kangyang will never be soft on the girl. ”
Li Shuci knew that Xia Xing had seen too much of these deceitful things in the palace, so he would always subconsciously think about the worst and plan for the worst first. Xia Xing smiled bitterly, knowing that she didn't take it to heart, and said, "Because of fate, who knows if there will be a day when we will meet again." ”
Li Shuci paused, looked back at her, and only felt that there was a faint premonition in his heart. But she didn't expect that Xia Xing's words would become a prophecy.
