Chapter 104: Exploring the Palace at Night
Early in the morning, Gu Qingyue was sitting bored in the hall eating peanuts, there was a vase-sized pot not far from him, Gu Qingyue didn't finish eating a peanut, so he threw the peanut shell into the pot, but because the technology was not high, all the peanut shells were thrown outside.
"Look at your depressed appearance, do you plan to spend the rest of your life like this?" The man chuckled.
"Hmph, how else? She is about to become Princess Rui, when she was the eldest lady, I couldn't fight her, it was even more difficult to become the county lord, now she is Princess Rui, if I am no longer interested, wouldn't even King Rui be offended. Gu Qingyue snorted coldly.
It's not that he himself is willing to be so decadent, but he doesn't have the strength to compete with Gu Qinghong at all. In the final analysis, he is just a concubine, and now he is disgusted by the whole family because of the murder of Gu Yunxin, and now he is still alive, he is already very satisfied.
"In that case, I don't have to help you get back to Kyoto." After speaking, the man turned to leave.
Gu Qingyue heard the other party say that there was a way to help him get out of this poor country, and then he stood up and chased forward, "Can you help me return to Kyoto?" Who are you? Why? ”
"You don't need to know who I am, you just need to know that everything is done according to what I say, and then you will definitely be able to return to Kyoto with a proper name." After finishing speaking, the man ignored Gu Qingyue and walked away.
Gu Qingyue wanted to ask something more, but it could be seen that the person had already left......
On the fifth day after the holy decree was issued, King Rui came to the door of Gu's mansion with a dowry, a total of one hundred and eight dowries, which made people look staggering.
"Zhao Yi has seen Master Taifu, Old Madame, and Mrs. Gu." King Rui sat in a wheelchair, and with a smile on his lips, he saluted the trio in the upper seat.
"The prince doesn't have to be polite, this dowry is so much, will it be a little too ......" Gu Taifu hesitated a little. When the emperor's daughter got married, the dowry under the Ruyang Palace's palace was only a full 100 lifts, but the dowry given to his daughter by King Rui was 100 and 8 lifts.
"Taifu don't worry, in addition to the dowry prepared by the younger son-in-law, the father and the imperial grandmother, as well as the grandmother's family and the mothers of the palaces have added a lot, so it doesn't hurt that this exceeds the imperial sister's dowry.
When King Rui said this, although Mrs. Gu was relieved a lot, she still felt a little inappropriate, but since this dowry was sent, she couldn't return it, and in Da Zhou, the richer the dowry the man gave to the woman's family, the more respect he had for his daughter's family, and the richer the life of his daughter when she married into the man's family.
At that time, Gu Yunxin was sitting upright in the room trying on the wedding dress, originally this wedding dress should have been embroidered by Gu Yunxin herself, but because of her experience in the previous life, she originally had no such plan in this life, who knew that she would meet King Rui? In addition, the wedding time is a little tight, and there is only time to sew bedclothes in the room, three sets of each of himself and Ruiwang.
As for the dress at the time of marriage, the queen mother has ordered the palace bureau to rush to make it.
Therefore, in the wedding dress and the jewelry on the wedding day, there is no need for Gu Yunxin to worry too much.
At the request of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, after King Rui married Gu Yunxin, he had to go all the way back to the palace, and he had to live in King Rui's original palace for three days, and then return to King Rui's mansion after accompanying Gu Yunxin to Ning.
This kind of arrangement is something that has never happened to other married princes at all, and they all return to the palace directly after marrying their wives and enter the palace to worship on the second day. It can be seen that King Rui's status in the hearts of the emperor and the queen mother is not comparable to everyone.
Three days before the wedding, the palace sent Gu Yunxin's wedding dress over, and everyone opened the clothes to see that the red dress was embroidered with five-color gold thread with the colorful phoenix flying in the morning sun and the moon, with the same color of the butterfly and the smoke and phoenix tail skirt, a crimson gauze and a Xipa decorated with a rice grain size of Nanzhu, which simply blinded other people's eyes.
I think back then, when the emperor married the queen, there was no such gorgeous wedding dress, but what was given to Gu Yunxin was so luxurious, the phoenix was a symbol of the queen's identity, in addition to the queen mother and the queen in the palace, the clothes of the concubines could not be embroidered with peonies and phoenixes, only when a woman was married, and it was a wife, she could wear a wedding dress embroidered with a phoenix or peony, but those who dared to wear embroidered with colorful phoenixes were afraid that Gu Yunxin was the only one alone.
"This wedding dress is so luxurious, there shouldn't be any problems, right?" Gu Yunxin looked at the gorgeous wedding dress.
There are many ways to harm people in the palace, and sometimes, a piece of clothing or a piece of pastry may kill people. And among them, it is not only the life of one person who is sacrificed, but also those palace maids and eunuchs who handle it......
"Mother, will this wedding dress be too gorgeous, will it be suspected of trespassing?" Gu Yunxin blinked and looked at Gu Mudao.
"This wedding dress was sent by someone in the palace, so there shouldn't be a problem." Gu Mu frowned slightly.
If it is said that the style of this wedding dress should be to marry the queen, or the crown princess, the queen mother asked people to send such a wedding dress, is it possible that the heir to the throne has been selected with the emperor?
"Hongxuan, you go to King Rui's Mansion now, tell King Rui about the wedding dress, and ask the prince to check if there is a problem with this wedding dress." Gu Yunxin commanded lightly.
"Yes, master."
is about to get married, and these days have been very quiet, Gu Yunxin is really worried that this is the peace before the storm, if he loses his life or even his family because of a piece of clothing, it will not be worth it.
King Rui soon came back with the news that the wedding dress was made by the Queen Mother, and King Rui also received the same gorgeous wedding dress, with a golden python embroidered with five-color threads on the red satin, and a huge southern pearl inlaid on the crown and belt.
"Tut-tut, oh my lord, this dress is so beautiful on you, I don't know how many women in Kyoto will be sad by then." Ling Xiao kept praising him.
"Yes, sir, you're married
Do I still have to use a wheelchair every day? Will that ......" Jiang Xiao said with some embarrassment.
Actually, he wanted to say, Master, you were also in a wheelchair on the day of your wedding, which is too low, after all, this marriage is a major event in life.
"Who said you have to be in a wheelchair too? You can't ride a horse? King Rui took off his wedding dress and raised his eyebrows.
"Master, then you don't pretend to be lame? Isn't that a failure? Jiang Xiao scratched his head and said.
"Jiang Xiao, who said that our master is not obscure? Our master's martial arts, riding a horse and a wheelchair will not be affected in any way, don't worry about it, you still have to think about how to do a good job of guarding, but you can't let the wedding day go wrong. Ling Xiao frowned.
It's been too quiet these days, and last night, Rui Wang's right-hand man, he had already smelled an unusual smell, but he just didn't know where this smell came from.
What's more, their father's marriage to the Gu family's concubine is equivalent to pulling the Gu family's Zhan's family into the camp, which will make many people look hot, maybe they are secretly preparing to break out together on the day of the wedding.
"Ling Xiao, what you said is right, I also feel some faint killing intent, master, do you want to strengthen the protection of the princess?" Jiang Xiao, who was still smiling, also turned very heavy at this time.
"Ling Xiao, on the day of the wedding, you ordered Mo Feng to select twenty people from the Netherworld Pavilion and stay on the streets of Kyoto, if anyone dares to make trouble on the king's big day, as long as he is subdued, when the wedding is over, the king will personally greet him." Rui Wang said lightly.
"Yes, sir." Ling Xiao respectfully received the order.
"Jiang Xiao, you go to the Taifu Mansion with Hongjian tomorrow, let Hongxuan and Hongling be extra careful, Hongjian will stay in the dark to observe, and there is no need to show up."
"Yes, sir."
After instructing the two of them to task, King Rui stretched his muscles and bones, he had been in a wheelchair all these days, and the muscles and bones on his body were sore.
Wait a minute, he has to go to the palace to train those Praetorian Guards, I don't know if he hasn't trained them for a long time, are they lazy?
Late at night, the streets of Kyoto are quiet everywhere, the moonlight is hazy, the shadows of the trees are swaying, King Rui is wearing a night suit, a few jumps came to the outside of the palace wall, heard a patrol footsteps, King Rui jumped and turned over on the palace wall. After the patrolling Praetorian Guards left, he jumped lightly.
The night in the palace is quieter, especially in the inner palace, and in the middle of the night, there will be no one else except for the palace maids and eunuchs.
"Who? How dare you wander the palace late at night? A roar of rage aroused the interest of King Rui.
King Rui turned around slowly, and saw that the person who came turned out to be Shao Qingming, the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, this Shao Qingming was the champion of martial arts back then, but he never had the opportunity to learn from him, and now this great opportunity, King Rui will naturally not let it go.
"It's simple to know who I am, and I'll tell you when I win." After finishing speaking, King Rui took the lead in testing Shao Qingming's kung fu.
Shao Qingming saw that the person who came had already made a move, so he could make a move to deal with it, but after a few rounds, he already felt that he had met an opponent this time.
"I see that Your Excellency is strong in martial arts, so you definitely won't come to the palace to steal, isn't it that you didn't see the road clearly in the middle of the night?" Shao Qingming said tentatively.
"Stealing? It can also be said that there are many beautiful women in the palace, and the deity wants to see what kind of beauties are in this palace. ”
"Whore, how can you go in and out of the palace at will, see that after the commander takes you down, he will slowly clean you up." Shao Qingming said angrily.
Just now he thought that the most people who came were stealing the treasures in the palace, but he didn't expect it to be a flower thief, if any lady or palace maid in the palace was poisoned, then all these sins were all because of him?
Thinking of this, Shao Qingming's long sword flashed a silver light in the middle of the night, and stabbed towards King Rui's face......
