Chapter Ninety-One: Forced Joy
The next day, King Chen's Mansion.
After a night of wind and rain, the garden was full of red and broken branches.
The bright red and dazzling red silk hanging has been removed by Xi Shu last night, and the sky is slightly bright this morning, and as soon as the rain has stopped, the housekeeper Li Cheng will take someone to clean up the garden.
According to the rules, on the first day of the wedding, the palace will send someone to inspect Xipa, but today is an exception, because the world knows that this Princess Chen is pregnant with a child to marry King Chen, so naturally there is no such thing.
There was silence in the Grace Garden, it should have been a new house full of festivity, but at the moment it was gloomy, Xi Ruoya lay quietly on the bed, her eyes slightly open at the top of the tent, her eyes swollen like two small walnuts.
Chunlan Chunmei and the two girls silently prepared the items for the morning, all of them looked worried, Miss has lived a day when the stars held the moon since she was a child, when did she suffer such a big grievance, this uncle is too disagreeable, the wedding night actually ignored the young lady, until now there is no one in sight, just welcomed people into the door, and immediately changed his face, it seems that the old man's previous opposition is not completely unreasonable.
"Miss, if you can't sleep, you should get up, and it's time to go into the palace to say goodbye!" Chunlan walked to the side of the bed and asked tentatively.
But when asked, there was no response like a stone sinking into the sea, and Xi Ruoya was still lying motionless.
Seeing this, Chunlan sighed lightly, not knowing what to do.
Chunmei came in from outside the house, comforted Chunlan with her eyes, and then went to the bed and said, "Miss, just now Steward Li sent a message, saying that in two quarters of an hour, the prince will wait for you at the gate of the palace to enter the palace together!" ”
Still silent, no response, Chunmei was about to turn around, but heard a tactful and slightly hoarse voice sound: "Fetch water, dress up for me!" ”
Chunlan Chunmei heard the voice, and they were all happy, and immediately moved closer to the bed.
"Miss, the slave will wait for you to change your clothes first!" Chunmei was the first to react, and hurriedly took the prepared clothes in her hands.
"Last night, do you know where the prince rested?" The voice was a little cold.
"Back to Miss, the prince didn't go to another garden last night, but rested in the 'Hanhui Pavilion'" These things don't need to be ordered, the prince left here and didn't return, and they were already secretly paying attention.
"Chunlan, go find some ice!" As he spoke, he got up and changed his clothes.
In the flower and leaf mirror, a beautiful face is still as delicate as a flower, but compared with yesterday, it is already two styles, and the pair of apricot eyes are not as smart as usual, after some ice and whitewashing, there is still a little puffiness.
Chunlan wanted to cover it up with a puff again, but was stopped by Xi Ruoya: "Forget it, there's nothing wrong with it, it's normal for people who are pregnant to eat and sleep badly!" ”
With that, she got up and took a deep breath, curled the corners of her mouth in a perfect arc, tried to look as elegant and dignified as she could, and strode towards the door.
After last night, she really knew Situ Yu's indifference and ruthlessness, but who was she? This "Changli No. 1 Beauty" not only has a good skin, she has always been proud of herself, if this man was not so unruly and unruly, he would not have been able to enter her eyes at the beginning.
As early as the moment he decided to marry him, he was ready to meet all kinds of challenges, but he was confused by his hypocrisy before, thinking that he had already won his heart, but now it seems that this cold prince's heart is really not easy to capture.
However, no matter what his purpose is for marrying him, since he has entered the palace of King Chen and become the princess of this Chen, she will definitely get everything she wants.
At the gate of the palace, the handsome Situ Yu casually led the smiling Xi Ruoya into the carriage, and the two were as affectionate as before in front of outsiders, but they secretly applauded each other's acting skills in their hearts.
"Lord Wang, Ruoya was not good last night, she didn't serve you well, please don't take it to heart!" Xi Ruoya was the first to open her mouth, breaking the strange atmosphere.
Situ Yu leaned on the soft couch, supported his head with one hand and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and replied casually: "The princess is too worried, because the king is entangled in affairs, and she has no time to accompany the princess." ”
The corners of Xi Ruoya's mouth hooked, and said: "The prince is the pillar of Changli, although he has no official position, he still works hard for the people of Changli, and he is naturally hard and busy, how can Ruoya delay the prince's business." However, after all, Ruoya is married for the first time, if she can't often see the prince, she does feel lonely, so she thinks about returning to the door in a few days and taking her mother to live in the house for a few days. ”
Situ Yu heard this, opened his eyes and glanced at her, closed his eyes again, and said: "Since the princess likes it, bring Mrs. Xi here, how can this king not be allowed!" ”
"Thank you for your kindness!" He glanced at the person on the couch from the corner of his eye, and his eyes flashed with unwillingness.
Neither spoke again.
Chenwang Mansion, Haoqing Garden.
Ling Shuang stopped the two people who wanted to enter the house to wait: "Concubine Lin's injuries have not healed, and her body is weak, let her rest for a while." ”
"But...... Sister Ling, the prince and the princess will return to the house in a while, if they don't go to the tea ceremony on time, the princess is afraid that she will be blamed...... If this is the case, I am afraid it will be detrimental to Concubine Lin. "It's a little embarrassing.
"It's okay, Concubine Lin is injured, the prince will be considerate, the princess is smart and virtuous, and she won't worry about a sick person if she wants to. If anything happens, count it on my head, and you don't have to worry. ”
"Sister Ling is right, it's the two of us who are too worried!" Seeing Ling Shuang's resolute attitude, she cut the painting and signaled to make the sound not to say more, and pulled her back.
The herd in the house had woken up and listened to the conversation of a few girls clearly.
After all, Ling Shuang was her own person, knowing that she was afraid of thunder, and she didn't sleep all night last night, she must be worried about her body at this time. And those two girls seem to be respectful, but after all, the affection is still shallow, and they only think about how to do their errands well and not be punished by their masters, so it is also human nature.
She didn't rush to get up, she only got up slightly and leaned against the head of the bed, thinking about what Ling Shuang told her about what had happened in the past few days last night.
Xi Ruoya is pregnant and marries the king! It turns out that they have reached that point. But what puzzled her the most was yesterday's marriage, Situ Yu had obviously arranged for Ling Shuang to marry instead, why did he use himself to change it halfway, if he was afraid of being recognized, but except for a few people who knew about it, no one had seen Lin Wanyan's true face, not to mention that it was easy to disguise, and it was covered with a light veil, it was not easy to see through, but he had been in a coma, and it was easier to show his flaws, I really don't know what he meant by such an arrangement?
Alas! Mu Yu shook her head slightly, how could she understand a scheming person like him. This reminded her of the scene when he rescued her that day, if he had ulterior motives, but if it wasn't for the sudden appearance of the throat needle, they would not have been able to get out of it, and the danger of that day was clearly real......
Lock throat needle! Oops! She had almost forgotten about such an important matter.
"Frost!"
The door creaked open, and Ling Shuang walked quickly into the house.
"Miss, you're awake, why don't you sleep longer?"
"Sit down, I have something important to explain!" Mu Yu sat up a little higher and said with a serious expression.
"Yes!" Seeing this situation, Ling Shuang knew that the matter was important and did not dare to slack off, so she quickly moved the table and sat in front of the bed.
"Is there any news from the Lodge lately?"
"No, you know, the villa has always been secretive, and it's extremely difficult to get news of them unless you make a deliberate contact. Why did the young lady suddenly ask? Is something wrong? Mu Yu's question made Ling Shuang a little nervous.
"That day, I was captured by the prince, and he set up an ambush to get rid of Situ Yu and me, but he didn't want to be rescued by a group of mysterious people at a critical moment, and the secret weapon used by those mysterious people was actually a 'throat locking needle', and the poison quenched on it was 'life-threatening'! ”
"What does Miss mean, it was the snow fox who saved you that day?" Ling Shuang was also a little surprised.
