Section 343 Protection

Zhu Zhongjun was embarrassed in his heart.

If Gu Jinzhi hadn't experienced so many things, in exchange for her trust, Zhu Zhongjun would not have told her all those embarrassing things about him.

He was very afraid that Gu Jinzhi would see his disgraceful side.

In front of Gu Jinzhi, he didn't seem to have much confidence......

And Gu Jinzhi's silence stung him fiercely.

He lay down on his side, and after saying the words that he had always loved you, tears flowed down his eyes and down his cheeks.

Then, Gu Jinzhi hugged him, and he felt warm.

His grievances were suddenly wiped out when he was hugged like this.

He is really easy to coax, Gu Jinzhi gives him some sunshine and he is in a bright mood.

He turned around and hugged Gu Jinzhi tightly.

Gu Jinzhi cried so hard that his shoulders trembled a little.

Zhu Zhongjun kissed her green silk, hugged her, and coaxed in a low voice: "Don't cry, just like a child." Nothing to cry about......"

His voice was buzzing, too.

Gu Jinzhi shrunk into his arms.

After crying for a long time, the catharsis of love was finished, Gu Jinzhi snuggled up to him and was silent. The warmth of his chest wrapped Gu Jinzhi, like a brocade quilt in the cold winter, intimate and comfortable, and he couldn't bear to push it away.

Zhu Zhongjun tentatively kissed Gu Jinzhi's forehead, and then slowly slid down.

Gu Jinzhi's heart was ironed by him, and he suddenly felt a chill.

She stopped Zhu Zhongjun and said a little helplessly: "Don't, don't." I still can't accept that. Give me some time......"

A lot of things, self-explanatory.

Zhu Zhongjun felt sorry for her, but also hated her.

Hate the person who hurt Gu Jinzhi.

He held Gu Jinzhi in the palm of his hand as a baby, and didn't want her to bump into it. That man could hurt her like that!

That person retained Gu Jinzhi's virgin body, which made Zhu Zhongjun a little puzzled in his heart.

Doubts are doubts. There are surprises, too.

Even so, he still hated.

“…… I promise you. I don't rest on my laurels, I don't let myself be unplugged in these weird feelings. I'm trying to recover as fast as I can. You give me confidence and give me time. Gu Jinzhi said in a low voice.

Zhu Zhongjun hugged her tighter, nodded and said, "Okay." I'll wait for you. You're married to me, what's my hurry? Time and confidence are there, you take your time......"

Gu Jinzhi's heart flowed into a warm current.

The chill slowly dissipated.

She hugged Zhu Zhongjun and didn't let go.

I was too tired today and cried again, and Gu Jinzhi fell asleep quickly.

Zhu Zhongjun also fell asleep unconsciously.

It's been more than half a month. Neither Gu Jinzhi nor Zhu Zhongjun had ever slept well.

It was the first time I had slept so peacefully.

On the second day of the wedding, you need to go to the court to see the emperor and the queen mother.

Like at home, Gu Jinzhi woke up at the beginning of the year.

When she wanted to get up, she alarmed Zhu Zhongjun.

Zhu Zhongjun turned over, hugged Gu Jinzhi tightly on his side, and muttered in her ear, "What time is it?" ”

Gu Jinzhi smiled and said, "It's more than five o'clock......"

"Five o'clock?" Zhu Zhongjun's voice was indistinct, "You can sleep for another two hours." ”

Gu Jinzhi smiled.

She pushed Zhu Zhongjun to get up. Zhu Zhongjun almost pressed against her and didn't move.

“…… It's time to go. Gu Jinzhi pushed him, "There is still business today." ”

Zhu Zhongjun sobered up for three points.

In a trance, he thought it was his previous life.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Zhu Zhongjun sat up.

Gu Jinzhi also got up. summoned the palace people to come in and serve and change clothes.

Zhu Zhongjun is still wearing the prince's crown clothes, and Gu Jinzhi is wearing Qingxun silk embroidered Zhai clothes.

The formal crown dress of the prince and princess is different from the casual dress and is tiring to wear. And you need to dress for a big salute, which is even more tiring.

Zhu Zhongjun let the palace people serve and dress. His eyes were on Gu Jinzhi.

Seeing those cumbersome clothes and ornaments piled up on her, Zhu Zhongjun felt that it was not easy for her. I couldn't help feeling distressed, and said to Gu Jin: "After a few busy days, I will be idle in the future......"

"I'm fine." Gu Jin's way.

After dressing up, the palace people brought morning food.

Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun used some each, and then they left the Xilan Palace.

The courtesy is the bride ceremony of ordinary people.

The place where the court ceremony is held is for the Jiaotai Hall between Kunning Palace and Qianqing Palace.

Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun arrived at the gate of the Jiaotai Palace, and the honor guard of the Jinyi Guard had already been arranged, and they greeted each other with firecrackers for a while.

Zhu Zhongjun walked in front, and Gu Jinzhi followed behind him.

The command of Jinyiwei made Xu Qin stand at the forefront, and Tan You followed behind Xu Qin.

When Gu Jin passed Tan You, his footsteps slowed slightly.

She lowered her gaze and never lifted it.

The footsteps of the slight stop were also very subtle, and no one noticed it except Tan You. Then, she moved on.

Even Tan You herself couldn't be sure if Gu Jinzhi's slight stop was her deliberate or Tan You's own fantasy......

Tan You was respectful, he didn't dare to turn his head to look, his mind flew so far all of a sudden, and he couldn't pull it back for a long time.

In the Jiaotai Palace, the Queen Mother and the Emperor were already seated and waited for a long time.

Zhu Zhongjun entered the hall first, followed by Gu Jinzhi.

Zhu Zhongjun stands in the east, and Gu Jinzhi stands in the west.

The hall was silent.

The Queen Mother had a kind smile on her face, and the Emperor was also happy.

Aunt Cheng held a plate containing red dates and dried chestnuts and stood on Gu Jinzhi's right.

For royal weddings, court salutes and chestnuts need to be offered to the emperor and the queen mother. Jujube means "early", and chestnut means "ceremony", which is the meaning of early ceremony.

Together with Lile, Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi knelt down and bowed four times to the Queen Mother and the Emperor respectively.

After the ceremony, a deacon brought in a table and placed it in the center of the emperor's face.

Aunt Cheng handed over the "morning gift" plate containing red dates and dried chestnuts to Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi took it, walked to the desk, put the morning prayer plate on it, and knelt down to bow four times.

At this point, the deacon took two more steps forward.

Zhu Zhongjun led Gu Jinzhi again and bowed to the emperor four times.

In this way, the morning rite is complete.

Morning salute to the emperor. is the Queen Mother.

Saluting the Queen Mother is the same as saluting the Emperor.

After the ceremony, the drums begin. Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun withdrew from the Jiaotai Hall one after another.

The Queen Mother and the Emperor also lowered their seats and drove their own seats. Left the Jiaotai Palace.

Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi, under the leadership of the inner attendant, returned to the Xilan Hall first.

When the Queen Mother returned to Kunning Palace, Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi went to Kunning Palace again to salute the Queen Mother.

Gu Jinzhi brought tea to the Queen Mother and offered shoes and socks.

The Queen Mother happily drank tea and gave Gu Jinzhi a gift, which was a delicate box, very heavy-handed, and full of exquisite jewelry.

Gu Jinzhi kowtowed again. Thank.

After the ceremony, the Queen Mother asked Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi to sit down.

“…… The mourning family finally drank Xiao Qi's daughter-in-law tea. The Queen Mother smiled and said to Zhu Zhongjun, "Zhong Jun will hurt Xiao Qi in the future, and Xiao Qi will listen to Zhong Jun's words in the future." ”

The Queen Mother didn't preach, just a loving mother's advice to her children.

Zhu Zhongjun said yes.

Gu Jinzhi also changed his words and called the queen mother.

After a few words of gossip, Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi got up and went to the Qianqing Palace.

The emperor was waiting for them.

Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi wore formal clothes for the first time and stood in front of the emperor. Although Zhu Zhongjun is too handsome. is a bit of a pressure on Gu Jinzhi's limelight, but the two of them are very well matched in size and bearing, a pair of beauties made in heaven.

The emperor glanced at Gu Jinzhi a few times.

She has the appearance of nine phoenixes and four phoenix crowns, and she is a little mature. Not as delicate as when she was a girl. She can also afford to wear gorgeous makeup.

Seeing that there was a smile on her face, beaming with joy, the emperor couldn't help but smile.

After the salute. Bestow the seat.

The emperor exhorted and said a few words. The emperor said to them, "The feast is held at the beginning of the afternoon, and the hour is gone." You go back first. Let's be tired. ”

There is a feast today.

The courtiers want to congratulate the king of Luyang, and the internal and external women need to salute the princess.

Zhu Zhongjun said yes, and took Gu Jinzhi to leave the Qianqing Palace.

When they were gone, the emperor did not move for a long time.

He carefully recalled Gu Jinzhi's appearance: his eyebrows and eyes were stretched, docile and demure. Fortunately, she was still the happy girl, which made the emperor a little satisfied.

Since Gu Jinzhi's disappearance, the emperor has thought about a lot of things.

He, like Zhu Zhongjun, was worried about Gu Jinzhi. At that time, he thought that he could accept it on the side, as long as Gu Jinzhi was still alive.

It's good that she's alive.

Compared with possessing Gu Jinzhi, the emperor wanted her to be safe.

When Gu Jinzhi was recovered, the emperor heard about her situation and thought of a lot of things. At that time, he also felt that Gu Jinzhi was no longer suitable to be the princess of Luyang.

The best way is to quit your family. This will preserve everyone's decency.

But if you withdraw from your family, how bad is Gu Jinzhi's situation? People are terrible, what she endures may crush her to pieces, which will undoubtedly ruin her life. Even if she enters the palace, she can't make up for her injury.

She has already been hurt once, and if she goes through it again......

The blows that followed, not to mention a girl as young as her, even a mature man couldn't afford it.

Imagining her helpless crying, the emperor felt as if he had been scratched by something.

He had never had such a feeling, and he was distressed by the discomfort of others.

Later, he didn't even ask the Queen Mother what he meant, and gave Gu Jinzhi a book on his own.

Anyway, Zhong Jun was willing to marry her, and even threatened her with death.

No matter who Gu Jinzhi is with, the emperor only hopes that she will not despair.......

The taste of despair is too hard to bear.

When a person experiences despair, his mentality will change a lot, and he will even change his personality.

The emperor liked Gu Jinzhi's character, and he didn't want her to go through such cruel things.

If he could, the emperor would rather bear these cruelties for Gu Jinzhi himself.

He was in this forbidden palace by himself, and he was not happy, so he didn't want to pull Gu Jinzhi in to suffer, unless he could make her the queen.

Tong Guò matter, what he thinks about the most is not to take the opportunity to have her, but to hope that she will be happy, can block some wind and rain for her, and try to protect her as much as possible.

The emperor finally understood that his love for Gu Jinzhi from beginning to end was not strong.

He just thinks of her as an appreciative friend, right?

The relationship between men and women is not like this.

Love is very selfish.

Thinking of this, seeing her and Zhu Zhongjun today, the emperor felt happy.

He saw the smile on Gu Jinzhi's face, and the world became a little brighter.

After thinking about it carefully, the emperor was quite satisfied with himself.

He made the right decision.
