Chapter 123: Tao Ranju
At this time, Yuwang's Mansion seemed very cold and depressed, except for the two red lanterns hanging outside the door, and the word happy was pasted on the door of the house, there was no festive atmosphere in the mansion at all, and there was a gloomy atmosphere everywhere.
Qing Xuan and Mo Yun stood quietly outside the door of Ting Lanxuan, only to see a trace of worry flashing between Qing Yuan's eyebrows, but they didn't dare to step forward to ask the prince, seeing that the auspicious time to marry the princess was approaching, but the prince had been in Princess Lu Yuan's room all night, and he had not made the slightest move until now.
On the side, Mo Yun's eyes were white with disdain, taking in his worries, and he said with coldness on his lips: "The emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, I really don't know what benefits that slut gave you, let you say good things for her everywhere in front of the prince."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I do everything for the sake of the prince, and besides, after the princess enters the palace, you'd better put away your thoughts that shouldn't be, and now the emperor is worried that he can't catch the prince's handle, so you'd better settle down."
"Hmph", Mo Yun glared at Qing Yuan fiercely, snorted coldly, and suddenly remembered something, his bewitching eyes contained a touch of mockery, and he smiled softly: "Isn't it that you are attracted to that slut"?
After hearing this, Qing Yuan was immediately annoyed, looked at Mo Yun with a frown, gritted his teeth and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Mo Yun giggled, and was just about to speak, when he saw Ting Lanxuan's door slowly open, Nangong Yu's face was gloomy, his deep black eyes stared straight at Mo Yun, shooting out a sharp gaze with a chill, and said in a deep voice: "Don't let me hear these words again in the future, otherwise, you don't have to stay by this king's side."
"Yes, yes, Lord Wang", Mo Yun's heart trembled slightly, and he quickly collected the hatred for Qing Yuan in his eyes, lowered his head and said.
Qing Yuan glanced at Mo Yun helplessly, and then lowered his head and whispered to Nangong Yu: "Lord, the auspicious time to marry the princess is approaching, please prepare as soon as possible."
Nangong Yu turned around and closed the door, his figure paused, there was a touch of tiredness between his eyebrows, and he turned around and ordered: "Send the wedding dress to Jinhuaju, and you can prepare for the rest", as soon as the words fell, he walked out of Tinglanxuan quickly.
"Yes, Lord Wang", after Qing Yuan received the order, he slowly raised his head, looked at the back of Nangong Yu leaving, the big stone in his heart finally fell, and there was a holy decree in the palace yesterday, the prince had a big temper, and finally had to endure it as much as possible, Nangong Ling was so concerned about the marriage of the prince, it can be seen that it is inseparable from the woman of the Shui family.
Qing Yuan thought for a moment, sighed lightly, and ignored Mo Yun beside him, and walked out of Ting Lanxuan, but Mo Yun's cursing sound was faintly heard behind him, although he was helpless, but he was more worried about Mo Yun, although she was poisonous, she was a master who couldn't hide her temper, the Shui family woman seemed to be thin, but she was much smarter than Mo Yun, now, he only hoped that Mo Yun would not provoke the Shui family woman, so as not to cause trouble for the prince, when the time comes, I am afraid that the prince will really not be able to tolerate her.
In less than a cup of tea, Qing Yuan arranged a qiē properly, sixteen mothers-in-law and sons-in-law who received relatives, and there were six hundred people in the team to welcome relatives, all of whom were guards of the palace, and there were thirty or forty people who beat gongs and drums.
Before dawn, there are people in front of the palace who are constantly wandering here, some are to see jokes, some are to see relatives, with the palace's actions, more and more people are watching, even some daughters are crowded in the crowd and keep looking, suddenly, see a big red sixteen sedan chairs, eyes suddenly exude envy.
Qing Yuan stood on the steps of the palace, looking at his carefully arranged wedding team, with a satisfied face.
According to the rules of the Jinxi Dynasty, the prince marries the princess with sixteen sedan chairs, and the side concubines enter the palace from the side door with a double sedan chair.
Seeing that Yiqiē was ready, but the prince had not come out yet, Qing Yuan thought about it, and instructed the housekeeper on the side to take care of this place, he went in to invite the prince, and before he reached Jinhuaju, he heard the sound of the prince roaring from inside the house.
"Who arranged for Princess Zheng to live in Jinhuaju? Who told you to decorate this place like this? Huh"?
"Bang", only to hear a crisp sound, Qing Yan swallowed his throat violently, if he remembered correctly, a qiē in the house was carefully arranged by him, if his memory is good enough, then, the crisp sound just came out, it should be selected from the warehouse, carved with Hetian jade, although this Baifu map is not priceless, but carved with jade, it is also a treasure that is difficult to find in the world.
He rolled up his sleeves and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, it seemed that the prince was really angry, he thought of the huge welcoming procession outside the palace in vain, and only felt that his back was sweating.
"Bang", there was a crisp sound, Qing Yuan could no longer stand still, and hurriedly walked into Jinhua Ju, as soon as he entered the house, he only saw the mess all over the house, the torn red tent, the broken dishes and Baifu Tu, dried fruits and fruits scattered all over the ground, and even the boxwood wooden bed he ordered yesterday in the back room was shattered by the prince with internal force.
Qing Yuan swept his eyes at the two maids kneeling beside him, but seeing that their faces were pale, he must have been frightened by the anger of the prince, he immediately knelt on the ground, hung his head and said softly: "The prince is angry, this qiē is arranged by his subordinates."
"You are damned, who allowed you to use Jinhuaju as a wedding room, who gave you the right"? Nangong Yu was dressed in a white silk cloth, but it set off that face was even more gloomy and cold, he glared at Qing Yu angrily, his cold face was a little hideous, and he couldn't wait to go up and slap him to death.
Qing Yuan hung his head silently, kneeling on the ground with both knees, bearing the arrogance of Nangong Yu, he had nothing to say at this time, Jinhuaju is the prince's favorite courtyard, except for Qi Yunxuan, the prince only rests here on weekdays, and in the huge palace, some courtyards have never been to the prince.
Now, he didn't think it through, touched the bottom line of the prince, and was willing to accept the death to apologize, his shoulders drooped, his waist straightened slightly, and slowly closed his eyes.
Nangong Yu looked at Qing Yuan coldly, and tried his best to hide his anger, although the anger was not caused by Qing Yuan, but he was afraid that he would not be able to control it all and vent it to Qing Yuan, with Qing Yuan's skill, I am afraid that he would not be able to carry his flame palm at all.
Although he was very angry at Qingxuan's self-assertion, but more anger came from everything that happened in this burst, for some reason, since Shui Lianyue returned to the capital, all his things were out of the original plan, and everything did not go well, this wedding, and Nangong Ling suppressed him with holy decrees everywhere, which really made him extremely aggrieved.
"You get up, go to the dark hall to receive the punishment after today", after a long time, Nangong Yu sighed helplessly, he attributed all his anger to Shui Lianyue alone, just waiting to see her and ask her to look good.
Qing Yu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then slowly opened his eyes, only to see that the anger on Nangong Yu's face had dissipated a lot, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but when he saw that Jinhua Juli was full of messes, he couldn't help but ask Nangong Yu softly: "But Lord, after the princess marries into the mansion, which courtyard will be arranged?"
Nangong Yu was just about to turn around and go out, when he suddenly heard Qing Yuan's words, his black eyes suddenly became gloomy, and after thinking for a while, he said coldly: "Isn't there a Tao Ranju in the West Courtyard?" When she comes, let's arrange to stay there."
Qing Yuan was stunned, and then remembered Tao Ranju in the west side courtyard, which is the most barren place in the entire palace, overgrown with weeds, and has not been cleaned for many years, with few leakage tiles, and behind Tao Ranju is a large field of crops, if it is early in the morning, you can still smell the smell of dung, such a place, not to mention the princess, is an inferior maid to live, I'm afraid it is not in accordance with the matter.
"Yes".
"No, Qingyuan, remember your identity", Nangong Yu interrupted coldly without waiting for Qingyuan to continue, and after glaring at Qingyuan fiercely with his slender black eyes, he turned around and walked out of the room and walked towards the hot spring behind the house.
After Nangong Yu left, he slowly stood up, looked at the two maids who were still kneeling beside him, and said softly: "After the prince finishes bathing, send the wedding clothes over, and then clean this place carefully, and remove all the red things."
"Yes, my lord," the two maids hurriedly stood up and trotted out of the house, as if they had received a pardon.
Half an hour has passed, Qing Yuan frowned slightly and waited outside the door of Jinhuaju, the auspicious time to marry the princess has arrived, and the prince has not come out yet, just the housekeeper ran over and said that the people outside have almost dispersed the team to welcome the relatives, if you wait any longer, it will not only affect the reputation of the Shui family woman, I am afraid, it will also damage the prestige of the palace.
Just when Qing Yuan was anxious, he saw a red shadow flashing in front of him, and when he looked closely, it was actually the prince, who was wearing a bright red wedding dress wrapped around his strong body, black and vertical hair, oblique flying heroic sword eyebrows, a pair of sharp black eyes like eagle eyes, but the big red wedding dress on the body added a touch of weirdness, and the cold and arrogant and lonely temperament was even more grandiose.
"Lord Wang, the auspicious time has come", Qing Yuan lowered his head slightly and said softly.
Nangong Yu gave a low voice of gratitude, and slowly walked towards the gate of the palace, although there were not many maids in the palace, they were all standing in the forest at this time and secretly looked at Nangong Yu who was passing by, and their faces were flushed by his outfit today.
At the moment when Nangong Yu walked out of the gate of the palace, the onlookers all squeezed towards the gate of the palace in order to see the true face of the prince.
