On the first night of the Bailiao Kingdom Palace, Qu Wurong did not sleep very steadily.

I don't know if it's because of the second half of the sleep, she didn't feel very sleepy, she tossed and turned in bed for a long time before she finally had some sleepiness, as soon as she closed her eyes, she began to dream, and the scenes in the dream were all real things that had happened before, there was her experience as Kou Shaohua, and there was also a qiē she encountered after she was reborn as Qu Wurong, the dreams of these two lives repeatedly alternated, and even she couldn't figure out who she was later!

In order to get rid of this annoying dream, Qu Wurong struggled hard, and finally struggled to wake up from his sleep, opened his eyes and saw that the sky outside the window was already slightly bright, and there were still palpitations in the dream in his chest.

Bailiao is located in the north, the temperature is much lower than Tiandu City, this time is just August, Tiandu City is still extremely hot, but the morning here has already brought a trace of coolness.

Sitting by the head of the bed for a while, Qu Wurong lifted the quilt and got out of bed, walked to the window and pushed open the heavy carved wooden window, Huang Ying happened to pass by the window, heard the sound and looked over, and saw the person standing by the window A little surprised, "Madam, why did you get up so early?" ”

"I can't sleep." Qu Wurong replied simply, and when he saw that there were many people in the courtyard, he asked, "Early in the morning, what are you busy with?" ”

"I'm busy setting up this place!" Huang Ying replied honestly, "Today is the day of the great joy of the lord and his wife, and it is necessary to decorate this Yuxin Palace a little more festive, right?" ”

Qu Wurong pursed his lips silently.

Although she knew in her heart that she had come all the way to Bailiao Country this time to marry Xiao Nansheng, but when she heard Huang Ying say it so bluntly, she felt very uncomfortable, because from her heart, she didn't want to marry Xiao Nansheng at all!

But she also knew very well in her heart that even if Xiao Nansheng agreed to the gentleman's agreement she proposed before, she still had to act a show for the people of Bailiao Kingdom, otherwise he would not be able to explain to his people!

So she said no more, turned away from the window, and returned to the temple.

As soon as he sat down at the table, he saw Huang Li walking in with a basin of water, followed by two little palace maids, holding tea and clean cloth towels, respectively, directing them to put down their things, Huang Li said to Qu Wurong: "Madam, let the slave maid serve you to wash." ”

"Hmm."

After washing, Huang Li asked the two little palace maids to take down their things, and he walked to the front of the wardrobe, and after some picking, he took out a piece of clothing with the characteristics of Bailiao to change for her.

Qu Wurong glanced at the clothes in her hand, frowned and did not speak.

Seeing that she was not very reluctant, Huang Li did not force her, and said while putting away her clothes: "It doesn't matter if Madame doesn't want to change it, anyway, I will change it into a wedding dress later." ”

Hearing her words, Qu Wurong's brows furrowed even deeper, and he asked, "Every time your lord marries a lady, do you have to hold such a grand ceremony?" "Isn't he tired and panicked?

"Yes!" Huang Li nodded, confirming the conjecture in her heart, "In addition to the queen's mother, the lord of the country has married a total of four ladies, and each lady has accepted the blessings of the people of the whole city, so that we can give Bailiao good luck!" ”

This is also the reason why Xiao Nansheng has to hold a ceremony every time he marries a wife, in fact, he is not alone, the lords of Bailiao have done this for generations, because they firmly believe that only women who have been recognized and blessed by the people will bring them a better future to Bailiao.

However, what Qu Wurong thought of at this time was another question, that is, what Huang Li just said about Xiao Nansheng marrying four wives, plus Xiao Qiaoer and her, there are only six people in the entire harem, which is more than a little less than the harem of the emperors of the Great Liang Dynasty, and it is no wonder that he has the heart to pay homage to everyone and become a relative!

When the master and servant were talking, they saw Huang Ying walking in hurriedly, and as soon as she entered the door, she said to Qu Wurong: "Madam, Madame Yu is here!" ”

The name of Mrs. Yu, Qu Wurong had heard it from Huang Li's mouth yesterday, it seemed that she was the one who temporarily managed the harem, today was only the second day she came to the palace of Bailiao Kingdom, what Mrs. Yu couldn't wait to find her, did she plan to take advantage of the fact that she and Xiao Nansheng had not yet held a marriage, and give her a dismount first?

Although thinking so, Qu Wurong did not hesitate for a moment, stood up and walked out of the dormitory with Huang Ying.

In the main hall of Yuxin Palace, which is not far from the dormitory, a woman dressed in purple and gold clothes is sitting on the main seat, with no expression on her soft and handsome face, only a bit of majesty between her eyebrows and eyes, which is what Huang Li calls the Jade Lady - Jade Ruyi.

She was the first woman to marry Xiao Nansheng, before he became the lord of the country, so several other people in the palace had a trace of respect for her, and even the queen Xiao Qiaoer usually had to give her three points, so after Xiao Qiaoer was pregnant and not suitable for overwork, the matter of taking care of the harem fell on her.

However, she didn't deliberately come to stand up in front of her as Qu Wurong imagined today, although she was also dissatisfied with this woman who came to rob her husband with her, but on a big day like today, she would never dare to make any mistakes, otherwise Xiao Nansheng would not let her go lightly!

Anyway, she still has to take care of the harem for a while, and there will be a chance to stand up in front of newcomers in the future!

Qu Wurong walked into the main hall, and at first glance saw Yu Ruyi sitting on the chair, and also noticed from the way she looked at her that this person was not easy to get along with, but she didn't take these to heart, just bowed her head slightly at Yu Ruyi, and it was considered to have said hello.

Yu Ruyi saw that she didn't salute when she saw herself, but instead had a calm and light look, and her dissatisfaction with her was a little more than a little stronger, but she still suppressed these dissatisfactions, and said coldly: "Every lady who enters the palace must go to the temple to pray for blessings before getting married, which should have been presided over by the queen mother herself, but the queen mother is now pregnant, and it is inconvenient to come forward, so it can only be replaced by the palace." ”

After hearing her words, Qu Wurong didn't say anything, just nodded lightly, "Then there will be labor." ”

The temple is located in the southeast corner of the palace, a group of people arrived soon by chariot, probably had already been informed, when they arrived, the presiding master of the temple led the crowd to wait at the door, and when they saw them, they recited a Buddha name: "Amitabha!" ”

"Are you all ready?" Yu Ruyi asked out loud.

"Mrs. Hui's words, everything is ready." As the host master spoke, he glanced at a little novice next to him, and the little novice willingly led Qu Wurong to the main hall dedicated to the emperors of the Bailiao Kingdom, picked up a stick of incense from the offering table, lit it, and handed it to her.

Qu Wurong took the incense in his hand, carefully looked at the rows of ebony rows in front of her, which actually had nothing to do with her, and finally bowed three times in resignation, and then handed the incense back to the little novice who was waiting aside.

After the little novice had inserted the incense into the censer, he said respectfully, "Madame, please come with me." ”

I don't know if Yu Ruyi did it on purpose, and she didn't tell Qu Wurong what to do before coming here, so she could only follow Xiao Shami with a blank face, and finally came to the front of a side room.

"Madame, please wait a moment!" As he spoke, he stepped forward and pushed open the door of the wing.

This is a very ordinary side room, there is a table in front of the door, on which the four treasures of the study room are readily available, seeing the puzzled faces of the people around him, the little novice explained: "Madame still needs to copy the scriptures here quietly for half an hour. ”

Qu Wurong was silent for a moment when he heard this, and waved his hand, "I know, you go out first." ”

It was not difficult to copy the scriptures for half an hour, and Qu Wurong accepted this fact in an instant, sat down behind the table, picked up the sheep's hair pen that was already stained with ink on the inkstone, opened the scriptures at hand and began to copy.

Half an hour passed quickly, and when the knock sounded, Qu Wurong was still copying the scriptures with all her heart, and when she heard the knock on the door, she realized the passage of time, she put down the pen in her hand, first shook her wrist that was a little sore, and then said, "Come in." ”

"Ma'am, the time is up." It was still the same little novice who came in.

Qu Wurong nodded, stood up, and this time without waiting for Xiao Shami to speak, she took the initiative to ask, "What else do I have to do next?" ”

Hearing her ask, the little novice shook his head slightly, "The ceremony is over. ”

"Shall I leave, then?" Qu Wurong asked again.

"Madame, please come with me!"

After Xiao Shami finished speaking, he took her back to the place where she entered the door just now, Yu Ruyi was still waiting for her, and the host master and others did not leave, and when she saw her come out, Yu Ruyi just glanced at her coldly, and then turned around and left without saying a word.

It wasn't until her car disappeared that Huang Li came up and said to Qu Wurong, "Madam, let's go back too." ”

"Hmm."

When the group returned to Yuxin Palace, Qu Wurong took a sip of the tea handed by Huang Ying, and asked lightly, "Who is this Jade Lady just now?" ”

"Oh, she's the first wife of the lord." Hearing her ask, Huang Li hurriedly replied, "Before the lord of the country ascended the throne, she had married Mrs. Yu, she was the sister of General Jade, I thought that after the lord ascended the throne, she would become the queen mother, but the lord of the country married the current queen Niangniang, General Yu made a big fuss with the lord because of this matter, and since then the lord of the country has not gone to the palace of Mrs. Jade much, and her temper has become worse and worse." ”

Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered something and added: "Mrs. Yu has a very good relationship with the other ladies in the palace, but because of her status and the power of General Yu, even the queen has to give her three points, madam, if you meet her in the palace in the future, you must be careful!" ”

After listening to her words, Qu Wurong pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Since you can marry the lord of the country, the family background of the queen mother and the other ladies should not be weak, right?" "How can you be so afraid of Yu Ruyi?
