CHAPTER XXIII

"General, it's all too late, why hasn't the prince come yet?"

Bai Ling had been looking out of the window for a long time, but he still hadn't waited for Nangong Li, seeing that his generals were already dozing off.

"It's okay, I'm busy, I really can't come, so General Ben will sleep first." Yan Rong said with a yawn.

"General, the hijab hasn't been lifted yet, besides, how can there be any reason for the bride to sleep alone on the wedding night, no, I'll take a look." After saying that, Bai Ling ran out.

At this time, Mama Li and the maid were left in the house, so she took off the hijab, looked at everyone with a tired face, and let them all disperse.

"General, maybe the prince is playing with a child's temper, don't be like him, this husband and wife still pay attention to the same heart." Mama Li walked to the door and turned back to say this to Yan Rong.

"Don't worry, Mama, it's okay with me, you go first."

"Yes."

Yan Rong looked at the sky outside, the moon was very round and bright, but it felt very cold. The night sky looks strange tonight. Yes, this is not a desert battlefield, nor is it in the courtyard of Yan's Mansion, this is King Rong's Mansion, and it is the place of his husband. And where is the husband at this time?

Yan Rong held a brocade handkerchief in his hand, and came to the door of the study without moving in a wedding dress. I only heard Bai Ling still talking inside

"Lord Wang, what if you don't leave the general alone?"

"Isn't she a self-proclaimed victorious general, and she retreats from this difficulty?"

"Smack." Yan Rong pushed the door open.

Nangong Li didn't expect Yan Rong to come to him, and at this time, the two looked at each other in pairs, but there was no trace of the feelings of an ordinary husband and wife.

"Bai Ling, you go out first, I'll come here, prince." Yan Rong said expressionlessly.

"Yes." Bai Ling didn't forget to close the door when he was leaving.

Yan Rong approached Nangong Li step by step, Nangong Li was standing in front of the bed at this time, watching Yan Rong approach step by step, and involuntarily surrounded himself with his hands.

Nangong Li looked at Yan Rong, in fact, today's Yan Rong was the first time he had seen it, and Yan Rong had been covered with a hijab all day, and he couldn't see his face. The bride's face has faded away from the arrogance of the general, but it is like the makeup worn by an ordinary woman marrying her own wishful husband, and there is a trace of delicate under the dignified and elegant makeup.

But with the current expression of Yan Rong, it doesn't look so good. The sharp eyes are like the eagle on the cliff, which sees the prey, and he is the prey that the eagle sees.

"What do you want to do? Master told you, even if you tie me up today, I won't have sex with you. ”

"Lift the hijab." Yan Rong slowly spat out these three words from his mouth.

"What? Haven't you already lifted it? ”

"You lift it, and then you count."

After speaking, Yan Rong put the brocade handkerchief in his hand on his head again, waiting for Nangong Li to open it. But after waiting for a long time, I didn't see Nangong Li do anything.

"Hurry up, General Ben doesn't have that much patience." It's not okay not to give this Nangong Li a little color.

Sure enough, being so frightened by Yan Rong, Nangong Li obediently went to lift the hijab.

The hijab falls, and the wedding is done.

If there is no happy name, it does not mean that there is no "satisfactory", there is no wine, and there is no cave house. When the wedding of Prince Chaorong and General Yan was completed.

Yan Rong stood up very calmly, gave Nangong Li a salute in return, and walked out.

Nangong Li looked at this back, a strong back, born with a kind of arrogance, Nangong Li somehow felt that this back was so familiar, as if there was a person's back as well, but he couldn't remember who it was.

The two never saw each other again all night, but both had insomnia with each other.

Next

"Yanrong, why are you going?"

Nangong Li didn't sleep all night, and he had already washed up early the next morning, and today was the day to go to the palace to greet the emperor and the queen's mother, and it was also a day to serve tea. I saw that Yan Rong was already dressed in court clothes and was about to ride away.

"Shangchao, what's wrong?"

"You're in court? Have you forgotten what day it is? ”

"Isn't it just to say hello to the emperor and queen? I will go to the court first, and then go to the court. ”

"You, you put your husband aside and go to the court by yourself? Don't you think it's awkward! ”

"The emperor didn't exempt me from going to court, otherwise you will bear the blame for me? Besides, you see that the time is almost up, so go to the palace and let's meet. ”

"..... face."

On the second day of the wedding, Princess Rong rode a horse to the court, and Prince Rong washed up and went to the palace in a sedan chair.

"Yuanshou father-in-law, what's wrong?" Yan Rong was not above the court at this time, but was pulled to the side hall by Yuanshou Gonggong.

"Oh, this is not the emperor and the old slave are confused, it stands to reason that the prince can get married for three days without early court, but let's let the prince not go to the court, this is not forgotten, but then I thought about it, the general is going to go to the court, but this delay comes and goes, I am afraid that the time to ask for peace will be missed, so the emperor temporarily asked the old slave to take the general in this place to meet with Prince Rong."

"Thank you father-in-law, since you don't have to go to court, then Yanrong will ask the queen mother to go first."

"Don't worry, it's not too late to wait for Lord Rong to come."

"Okay."

This can also forget how much the emperor cares about his youngest son, and how can he give himself to his son if he is favored.

After a while, Nangong Li followed Yuanshou Gonggong over. It can be clearly seen that Nangong Li deliberately sorted it out, unlike himself, who came out without any makeup.

"This king said that you don't need to go to court, you are in a hurry faster than anyone else, look at what you are wearing?"

Yan Rong looked down at his dress, which was still the clothes worn by the general when he was in the court. But now it's too late to change it, so you can only wear it like this.

"Okay, let's go to the queen's palace first." After speaking, Yan Rong strode away.

"Stop, how can a wife walk in front of her husband?"

"So how do I get there?"

"Along with me."

The two men arrived at the Queen's Palace. The queen had already prepared in advance, waiting for the newlyweds to come. I sat down in front of the palace early and waited.

"Yan Rong greets the queen's mother, the queen's mother is a thousand years old." Yan Rong made a big salute to the queen.

"Princess Rong, get up quickly." A pleasant voice sounded in Yan Rong's ears.

"Queen Mother, please have tea."

"Okay." I saw that the queen took a slight sip, and then smiled and put the tea aside.

"Lingyu, take out the gifts prepared by the palace and give them to Princess Rong."

"The mother's reward is appreciated, but there is no need to break the bank."

"No, this is the rule of the ancestors, you don't have to shirk."

Here, the queen mother's personal palace maid Lingyu has already taken out the gift.

"Everything else is some gold and jade jewelry, but this is the only one that the palace thinks Princess Rong must like."

"This is a hosta, but it's ....... like this," Nangong Li also watched from the side.

"Yes, Lord Rong is not mistaken, this is a hosta, but it is entrusted to make the appearance of a sword, this jade is precious, jade artists are used to making women's jewelry, the appearance of this sword, but the sword casting master and the jade craftsman together little by little to create it, the world is like this."

"Queen Mother, this gift is too precious, Yan Rong doesn't dare to accept it."

"Princess Rong laughed, this was originally the palace entrusted to my father to find you, this hosta is trampled on by others, only this famous general can give full play to the best of this hairpin."

"A piece of the queen's mother's heart, you can accept it." Nangong Li said beside him, but his brows were tightly locked, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Then thank you to the queen mother."

"What are you talking about? It's all so happy. ”

"See the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

"Get up."

"Your Majesty."

"Yan Rong, isn't it time to change your words, you should call my father with Li'er."

"Yes, Father."

"Your Majesty, the concubine is chatting with Princess Rong!" The queen mother always kept her smile all the time, like the feeling of the morning breeze.

"That's good, I thought that Yan Rong could only do martial arts, and now I can still chat with people in the harem, this Mama Li taught it well!"

"Yes, the person sent by my father is naturally good."

"Having said this, Yuanshou, I will give these two newcomers my gifts."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

In addition to the gold and silver treasures, and the brocade cloth, there was also a soft sword.

"Yan Rong, although this soft sword is not as good as the Kunwu sword, it was also found by me for a long time, and it is not enough to use it for self-defense."

"Thank you to the emperor, Yan Rong will definitely take good care of these gifts."

"You and Li'er are married, but it's also a matter of my heart, if you can run in with Li'er in life in the future, and the husband and wife work together, you can take good care of my Daqi!"

"The retainers obey." Nangong Li and Yan Rong said at the same time.

"Alright. It's not too early, let's go see the first queen. After the emperor said this, he let the two leave.

"Yes, the retainers are retired."

"What? Silly happy to receive so many gifts, like a hillbilly who has never seen the world? ”

"Lord Rong can't eat grapes, say that grapes are sour!"

"Joke, this king cares about this."

"Alright, where do we go next?"

"Go to the queen mother."

Yan Rong glanced up at Nangong Li and found that Nangong Li was in a gloomy mood in an instant. Yan Rong had heard Uncle Xia talk about this royal secret before, and naturally the biggest suspicion was the first queen, but no matter what the truth of the matter was, the person was no longer there, and the sad one was probably Nangong Li!

When he was young before, when he was friendly with Nangong Yu, he rarely heard questions about his mother, Nangong Yu was an extremely careful person, and he would not reveal his inner feelings to anyone, causing Yan Rong to not know anything about the former queen at all.

According to the time calculation, the year when Nangong Li was brought back to the palace was the year when his father received the holy decree and the whole family went to the battlefield.

Nangong Li brought Yan Rong into a palace, but the gate of this palace was tightly imprisoned by a very cumbersome lock. This lock is very familiar, this is not a lock in the capital, but like a special lock in a border country, ordinary people don't need it at all, unless they have to close something very important, they will use this kind of lock.

Yan Rong was extremely puzzled, but because of the people around him who were still following the emperor, he couldn't help but didn't ask, but he was still curious.

Why is the tablet of the first queen not in the temple, but in the palace, and it is still guarded so carefully, what is in it?
