Chapter 223: Catching Turtles

The court officials have all turned into a sea of red today, and red lanterns and wedding silk can be seen everywhere, Ma Lan's family has tried their best to dress up, Ye Manjun's marriage is a royal gift, so it is most suitable to go out of the cabinet here, and if she wants to please the Ye family, she has to play the role of the housekeeper's lady.

Originally, Lin Long, who was a sister-in-law, was not suitable to watch her sister-in-law out of the pavilion, but Ye Mingsui and Ye Zhong's were far away in the capital, and Ye Minglan was a cousin.

When he arrived at the outer hall, it was already very lively, Lin Long let go of the hand holding Ye Manjun, and was helped by the maid beside him to sit on the main seat, and Ye Xuyao had been waiting here for a long time.

Ma Lan's clan also stepped aside, and Xi Niang helped Ye Manjun to salute the emperor in the capital first, and then to the brother and sister-in-law.

Ye Manjun, who knelt down, still couldn't help crying, after all, it was really difficult to get out of the cabinet this time, and it was even more difficult to suppress the sadness when she thought that her mother at home was sick for her.

Ye Xurong's eyes were also wet when he saw it, after all, he was a young man, and his heart was not very mature, Ye Minglan next to him pressed his hand on Ye Xurong's shoulder and patted it several times, now that they are finally married, their responsibilities are all over, they have been sleeping in fear for many months, and now they can finally sleep peacefully.

Lin Long also took the handkerchief and pressed the corner of his eye, "Okay, I'm going to lose my strength to cry for a while, sister-in-law, let's stop crying......"

After receiving the salute, she hurriedly got up and helped Ye Manjun up.

Ye Manjun cried hard, but it was not easy to stop his voice at this time, and he snorted slightly, and even blushed slightly.

Lin Long hurriedly asked people to find some balls for Ye Manjun to take secretly, and heard someone shouting outside, "The groom has come to greet her-", she hurriedly covered Ye Manjun's red hijab, and whispered a few words.

Ye Xuyao, who was the eldest brother, also got up and walked to his sister's side at this time, "Eldest sister, there is not much that the eldest brother can do for you, and you will have to rely on yourself in the days to come." You are the daughter of the Ye family, don't fall into your own prestige. ”

Ye Manjun nodded, "Don't worry, big brother and sister-in-law, I know." ”

Zhu Ziqi walked in in a red wedding dress, with a rare bright smile on his face, it was obvious that he had been waiting for this day for a long time, and when he came in, he bowed to Ye Xuyao and Lin Long first.

Without waiting for the bride to act, Ye Xuyao had already personally picked up the end of the red hydrangea and handed it to Zhu Ziqi, "Brother-in-law, I will officially hand over my sister to you, I hope you can cherish it in the future, if not, don't blame me, the eldest brother, for being troublesome." ”

This was a bit threatening, just to show that the mother's family attached great importance to the daughter who came out of the cabinet, Zhu Ziqi was not displeased after hearing this, but took a step back and solemnly gave Ye Xuyao another salute, and then took the hydrangea in his hand, "If you can get Miss Ye as your wife, you will be very good to her for the rest of your life." ”

Ye Xuyao patted the prince of Ruyang, who was about the same age as him, "Take your bride back to the church, don't miss the auspicious time." ”

Zhu Ziqi clenched the red hydrangea in his hand and glanced at Ye Manjun under the red hijab, at this time he had a real sense of marriage, and took Ye Manjun, who was supported by the bride, step by step to the other end of happiness.

The sound of joy seems to spread all over Ruyang City today, in order to show the importance of Ye Manjun, the red carpet extends from the official office of the imperial court to the palace of Ruyang, and festive red lanterns are also hung on both sides of the road, although it is broad daylight, it is still dazzlingly red.

The road on both sides was crowded with onlookers, looking at the scene that can only be met once in 20 years, the groom riding on a white horse to welcome his wife was handsome and extraordinary, and the girl's family was secretly red when he saw it, and then to the red sixteen-lift sedan chair, behind which was one hundred and eighty dowries, the scene was not only spectacular but also full of style.

Many people are talking about it, and some elders say that when the current Ruyang King Zhu Yi married the princess, it was not as lively and high-profile as it is today, which made all the daughters jealous.

The women who were caught in the crowd to watch this scene were all on fire in their eyes, and it was even more difficult to balance their hearts, compared to a cyan sedan chair being carried in, such a scene stimulated the jealousy in their hearts.

Teng Shasha was lying in the carriage, looking at the lively end through the curtain of the carriage, especially the heartfelt smile on the face of her cousin, who had always had a facial expression, this huge contrast stung her eyes, she turned her head and coughed lightly, her eyes were gloomy.

"Girl, don't look at it, let's go home." The personal big girl next to her persuaded her, isn't coming here to see the entrance to the main room ripping out your heart?

Teng Shasha waved her hand and motioned to the maid on the other side to close the curtain of the car, she drank a few sips of water to press her frizzy throat, and said with a gloomy face: "Did you say I forced it?" ”

"Girl, forgive the slave and the maid for talking too much, the prince of this world is obviously not here with the girl, and he has to be a concubine for a lifetime, so it is better to find a good person who knows the cold and the hot, wouldn't it be much happier?" Seeing that her own girl was shaken, the big girl on the side dared to express her inner opinion, and the girls wanted to squeeze into a place in the side room of the palace before, but they could only follow the heat.

Teng Shasha breathed a sigh of relief, and there was still a little hesitation in her eyes, "But, if I don't become my cousin's side room, wouldn't my aunt have even less status?" It's not easy for her to pay attention to her now, and if she returns to her original form, I'm afraid my aunt will be upset......"

"Girl, you are my aunt's daughter, and she also wishes the girl well." One of the big maids persuaded, "And looking at the large-scale welcoming mode outside, it can be seen that the heart of the prince has long been biased." ”

These words undoubtedly stabbed Ye Manjun in the heart, her pretty face suddenly lost blood, and she coughed lightly with a handkerchief, "It seems that my illness needs to be 'aggravated'." ”

In order to prevent her father from being angry with her, the only way for her to find a decent way out and fight with Ye Manjun, what did she fight for? If her cousin likes her today, she will not let go even if she dies, and she must fight to the end, but the reality is not like this.

"It's good that the girl understands it."

A group of big girls were busy.

They naturally want their girls to enter the palace the most, but looking at the current situation, even if they use means to have a child when they enter the palace, they are afraid that both the mother and son will be disliked by Zhu Ziqi, how can there be a way out? The girl is not doing well, and even they can't gain power, so it is better to encourage the girl to find another lover than this.

Teng Shasha sighed lightly, when she didn't give her, in vain?

"Let's go home." She commanded softly, "Save my grandmother from looking for me." ”

Because of Teng Yuanyuan's death, she is quite unpopular with her mother-in-law, if it weren't for the name of Zhu Ziqi's future side room, I'm afraid that she won't be able to please her in the mansion, at this moment she clenched her sharp-edged nails, it's time to think about how to pave the way back.

Ye Manjun, who was sitting in the sedan chair, heard the envious discussion outside, her pretty face was already red, and she looked at the lover outside who was leading the way through the curtains on the sedan chair, and her heart was beating wildly.

With Ye Manjun's big girls also standing up and raising their backs, and having honor, this is a big day for their girls.

The sedan chair arrived at the Ruyang palace according to the number of points.

Zhu Ziqi got off the horse, kicked the sedan chair three times according to the custom, and shot three arrows at the bottom of the sedan chair with a bow and arrow, at this time, the bride began to say good things, opened the sedan curtain, and carried the bride out.

crossed the fire plate and went to the main hall full of guests.

Zhu Ziqi, who was holding a big red silk flower in front of him, was holding the bride who was being carried by the bride with a smile on his face, and everyone could see that he was very comfortable.

Zhu Yi, the king of Ruyang, and Zhu Chen, who had been dressed up, sat in the hall, waiting for the newcomers to come to the church.

Today's Zhu Chen's eyes were not focused, in order to prevent her from making rude actions, she had already taken her actions with medication control beforehand, as long as she sat there and waited for the newcomer to worship in the church, she could retire successfully, and she would never have to appear in front of people to pretend in the future.

Zhu Yi is still standing next to Concubine Teng, this is what she asked to come, after all, today is her son's marriage ceremony, how can she not attend? Anyway, Zhu Chen couldn't suppress her limelight anymore, she had been looking forward to it for a long time, knowing that this move was inappropriate, Zhu Yi finally couldn't grind her and agreed.

"Worship heaven and earthβ€”"

"Erbai Gaotangβ€”"

"Husband and wife worship each otherβ€”"

Is this considered a couple? When Ye Manjun was helped up by Xi Niang, he couldn't help but think of this sentence.

Lin Long, who was watching the ceremony, was also happy for his sister-in-law, and finally worshipped the church, and now there is no cave room left, but according to secular standards, these two are already a husband and wife who share honor and disgrace.

The magnates of Ruyang City who watched the ceremony also had different thoughts, Zhu Ziqi's smile was too bright, and they began to worry about their daughters when they saw it, how could they beat the concubine? I'm afraid that as soon as I enter the door, I will be kicked into the corner to fend for myself, and from another point of view, it will also break the inherent balance of Ruyang City.

Just when all parties were undecided, a woman walked in from outside laughing, "Such a happy event, why didn't the prince inform the concubine?" The concubine came early to watch the ceremony. ”

Lin Long looked at it, the person who came in was Concubine Rong who was dressed in gorgeous costumes, and looked at the red color on her body, which was obviously a move of etiquette, and then looked at Zhu Chen, who was also dressed in red, and couldn't help but shake his head, this Concubine Rong was probably really tired, I hope she can suppress the resentment in her heart, and don't do bad things.

"What are you going to do?" Concubine Teng was the first to say angrily, this is her son's big day, why do you want her to join in the fun?

"This is the great day of the prince, why can't I come?" Concubine Rong changed her previous suppleness and looked at Concubine Teng provocatively, she had long seen this slut as unpleasant.

The two have always been at odds, and this time they are even more for tat.

Zhu Yi shouted in a deep voice: "Go back, this is not the place for you to come and spread wildβ€”"

Concubine Rong curtsied at Zhu Yi, and interrupted her husband's cheers with a smile, "Lord, what if the concubine doesn't go back?" ”

When she was young, she also fell in love with Zhu Yi, and she was a girl's heart sprouting from the heart, but more than 20 years have passed, and her love is also fading little by little, and what remains is hatred supporting the body like a corpse.

"You're so daring!" Zhu Yi's face was angry, this side room was too arrogant, his dignity was violated, this unprecedented thing made him really angry at this moment.

"The concubine only hates that she is not bold enough, otherwise, my son would not have died at the hands of a slut." Concubine Rong turned her head sideways and glared at Zhu Chen fiercely, no matter what, this woman was the real murderer who took her son's life with her own hands.

Zhu Chen gave her a smirk back, and she sneered when she saw it, don't think that if you become a fool, you don't have to repay your blood debt.

This rebellious remark is not what Zhu Yi likes to hear, I saw him shouting, "Come on, bring this slut down to me and listen to Hou's disposal...... Hmmm......"

Halfway through the words, Zhu Yi felt a tingling pain in his heart, and couldn't help frowning and falling into the chair.

"The prince (father)?"

Concubine Teng's mother and son both spoke up immediately, and rushed to Zhu Yi's side.

Ye Manjun, the bride, had to automatically lift the red hijab at this time, revealing a face with delicate makeup, and hurriedly walked to Zhu Yi's side worriedly, I don't know if this future father-in-law will be fine?

For a long time, there was no one in the hall who responded, at this time, the faces of the guests changed greatly, it seems that something really happened today, they all felt a chill down their backs, and even wanted to leave early, so as not to catch turtles in the urn.

However, as soon as those who were about to leave walked out of the main hall, they were blocked back, and they saw one after another soldiers in armor walking into the hall with expressionless faces, and the halberds in their hands pointed at these guests who wanted to leave, forcing them to return to the hall again.

When everyone saw this, their faces were immediately shocked, this was a clear rebellion.

Concubine Rong looked at this scene coldly, the red handkerchief in her hand was waving very happily, especially when she saw Concubine Teng's fire-breathing eyes, she was really in a comfortable mood.

Although Zhu Yi had already heard some of the recent events from his son's mouth, it was far less shocking than seeing his former pillow person openly opposing him at this moment, whether it was true or not, he was already angry, but the more angry he was, the more his heart was entangled.

"Doesn't it hurt?" Concubine Rong watched her husband struggling there, and she didn't feel the slightest distress.

"Are you...... Know what? Zhu Yi said angrily.

"Lord Wang, if I were you, I wouldn't be so angry now, because this is ...... Die a little faster......" Concubine Rong said with an arrogant smile.

"What did you give my father to eat?" Zhu Ziqi asked angrily.

"What did you eat? I don't remember, and besides, I was sent out of the house for so long, did I have to do it? Concubine Rong asked in a cold voice.

"Concubine Rong, the prince is also your husband, you treat him like this?" Concubine Teng didn't expect that this woman was not only good at disguise, but also so femme fatale.

"I'll treat him as he treats me, fairly." As soon as Concubine Rong faced Concubine Teng, it would be like a lit cannonball.

Although Ye Manjun knew that something would happen to her wedding, she didn't expect that this matter would be much more complicated than she could imagine, and she couldn't help but look at her sister-in-law secretly, only to see Lin Long's hand under her sleeve waved slightly, asking her to be restless and watch the incident quietly, and she couldn't bear the words in her mouth.

Master Ma stepped forward and said, "Concubine Rong, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Yes, what are you Rong family going to do?"

"Are you Rong family planning to rebel? Dare to send troops to surround the palace, this is a great unforgivable crime. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The voices of questioning and questioning are endless, but Concubine Rong is an old god.

Not long after, the head of the Rong family came in with a red face, and as soon as he came in, he first saluted Zhu Yi, who was slumped in the chair, "I've seen the prince." ”

"You...... What a guts. Zhu Yi said angrily with a very ugly face.

"The prince has won the prize." The head of the Rong family smiled and said, "I have good news for the prince." ”

Zhu Yi, Zhu Ziqi and all the guests present all held back their anger and watched the Rong family act.

Not long after, a small soldier came in to report, "Lord Wang, General Huo of the Imperial Court has led his troops to invade our Ruyang City, and they are about to kill ......."

Another soldier came in, "Lord Wang, the lord of the An family led the people to rebel, and he has already controlled the troops in the city......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

One news after another came, this time Zhu Ziqi's brows were really knotted, obviously things were a little out of his control, it seemed that the deployment of the Nine Princes was a little more powerful than he could guess, and his face finally sank completely.

The calmest person in the audience was none other than Lin Long, even if the news came one after another, she was still watching from the old god, and she didn't look surprised or anything else.

"What the hell is going on?" Concubine Teng hurriedly pulled her son to ask anxiously, she felt scared at this moment, and she also saw that the Rong family's actions were inappropriate.

Zhu Ziqi patted his mother's hand soothingly, and looked at the Rong family coldly.

There was a charcoal basin burning in this room, but everyone in the hall was in a cold sweat, which was too unexpected.

The head of the Teng family walked out and looked at the head of the Rong family with heavy eyes, "You are aiming for Ruyang City?" ”

"Don't say you don't want to?" The head of the Rong family looked at the head of the Teng family retortingly.

The head of the Teng family said with a gloomy face: "You think I'm the same as you? ”

The head of the Rong family snorted coldly and expressed his disdain, which made the head of the Teng family angry, this hateful guy.

The mess in the hall, An Jiao, who saw it through the curtain in the back, smiled comfortably, it's so good, this marriage is better to mess up, touched her big belly, she just can't see people, what's wrong?

Gently opening the curtain, she turned back to the inner room and sat down, and saw the big maid next to Zhu Yi, the king of Ruyang, standing there with an uneasy expression.

"Miss An, if the prince finds out that I did it in his tea, what should I do?" She looked embarrassed, afraid that the Rong family would not be able to seize power.

An Jiao calmly took a sip of tea and said, "What are you panicking about, when I get power, I will have your benefits." Jiaojiao laughed for a while, "Don't worry, after the matter is completed, I will not let you publicize your loss of virginity everywhere, and I will give you a dowry and marry in a beautiful way." ”

The big girl dared to look at An Jiao angrily, if she hadn't been discovered by the other party that she had an affair with her lover, how could she be controlled by the other party and finally make the wrong move? Now we have to let it go.

An Jiao smiled proudly, and her hand stroked her belly again, if this child was a son, she would be able to get out of the current predicament.

The calculations of the parties are exquisite.

When the ninth prince Zhu Sa walked into this Ruyang Palace, he also deliberately glanced at the building of this palace, it seems that his cousin has really become the emperor of the soil in this realm, and this small life is comparable to that of an emperor.

"The prince will win the treasure one day, and it will be like this, no, it will be more beautiful than this." The staff on the side said a good word.

Zhu Sa's face calmed down, "The matter hasn't been done yet, you are not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue when you say such a big thing?" ”

Now it seems that everything is going according to plan, but he is still a little unsure, and it is not until the returns everywhere far exceed expectations that he dares to show up in the city and swagger.

The staff next to him was reprimanded by him, so he put away his powerful face, didn't dare to slap his ass again, and walked behind his own prince in the Ruyang Palace.

When the Nine Princes were in the main hall, Lin Long, who had always been peaceful, suddenly opened her eyes wide, and looked up at the man she recognized who had turned into ashes, and sure enough, she was not dazzled that day, this Nine Princes were really in Ruyang City.

At this moment, there was a slight ridicule on her face, this Nine Princes was really too sure that she would be able to succeed, otherwise she would not have appeared at this moment.

Most of the local magnates in Ruyang City didn't know the Nine Princes, and even Zhu Yi, the king of Ruyang, was only slightly sensitive, his current body didn't obey the call, so he could only collapse in the chair and watch coldly as the man with extraordinary looks walked in, and as soon as the eyes of the two met, there were immediately sparks flying.

The bloodline is very wonderful, but both of them are the same ancestor, so they naturally feel it.

Lin Long took a step forward at this time, stepped forward, and bent his knees slightly towards the Nine Princes, "I've seen the Nine Princes." ”

Zhu Sa smiled: "Mrs. Hou doesn't need to be polite. ”

The questions and answers of the two of them seemed to be very polite, and people couldn't see the subtleties for a while.

"I didn't expect my sister-in-law to go out of the pavilion and alarm the Nine Princes, it is really the emperor's grace." Lin Long said with a smile.

"Mrs. Hou really likes to laugh, but this joke is a joke that the king loves to hear." Zhu Sa also responded with a smile.

Zhu Ziqi asked Ye Manjun privately, "He is the Ninth Prince?" ”

Ye Manjun nodded, he knew all the nobles in the capital of the Nine Princes, and she was naturally no exception, but fortunately, he finally showed up today.

Zhu Ziqi looked at this uncle incomprehensibly, and he couldn't say the strange feeling for a while, this person was really similar to Zhu Ziran's temperament, and he couldn't help but think mockingly.

Zhu Sa's eyes looked at his cousin Zhu Yi and nodded at him, "Cousin Yi, our cousins are finally able to see each other, but congratulations." ”

Zhu Yi helped him sit down with Concubine Teng, and at this time he brought out the prince's shelf, "Cousin Sa, it's really better to meet than to be famous, but I don't know if you go out of Beijing to me, can you serve the will of the saint?" ”

"So what? What if not? Zhu Sa still smiled.

Zhu Yi's face was solemn, "If you don't go out of Beijing without an edict, you have violated the royal law, Cousin Sa won't know it, right?" Besides, you only show up now, is this qiΔ“ related to you? ”

In the last question, he was carrying the majesty of a hegemon.

The eyes of the Nine Princes narrowed slightly, this Zhu Yi is used to being the emperor of the soil, and he is really different. "Cousin Yi, you are dying, I advise you to just do it, don't let people look down on you, this Ruyang City should also be changed."

"You rebellious thief." Zhu Yi shouted angrily.

Zhu Sa sneered, "The prince who is a prince and a thief is a thief, cousin Yi's words seem a little out of place." ”

As soon as the two came up, they went toe-to-toe, which made everyone gradually see what was happening in front of them.

Zhu Sa's eyes roamed around, and he didn't find Ye Xuyao, so he was suddenly shocked and looked at Lin Long, "Where is your husband?" ”

"He," Lin Long smiled, "He's waiting to catch a turtle in the urn." ”――
