Chapter 20: Celebrating the Bridegroom (Part II)
The road rides the wind as if it is empty and the wind is born under the feet.
As soon as he left the north gate of Xifu, the carriage prepared by Niu Sanbao was waiting there early.
Lu Chengfeng turned over and got into the car in a dignified manner, and did not forget to shake off his new purple robe, and looked around at his entourage, and then said with a solemn face:
"Let's go! Go to the palace! ”
"Yes! Drive! ”
As soon as the coachman's reins were raised, the gilded carriage of the palace rushed away with the proud spring breeze.
"Niu Sanbao! How is my daughter-in-law? Isn't it safe? ”
In the carriage, only Niu Sanbao, the little eunuch, was left. Lu Chengfeng asked in a low voice in the car.
"Your Highness, put your heart back in your stomach! Don't you know yet? It's very safe! ”
Niu Sanbao patted his chest and packed the ticket.
"Well, when was it delivered? Didn't anything go wrong when he left the house? ”
Lu Chengfeng was still relieved of Zining's safety, and asked.
Originally, he just planned to secretly send You Zining back to You Mansion early this morning, and then she went out from You Mansion to report to the Hanlin Academy.
Unexpectedly, when I first arrived, Mo Feige's was blocked at the door early in the morning!
had to hurriedly order Niu Sanbao to sneak out of a small chai door in the backyard of Tianji Garden with You Zining and seek the help of Steward Jin.
"Your Royal Highness, you still think about it thoroughly, if you hadn't gone to the golden housekeeper for help today, the four doors in the southeast, northwest and northwest have been strictly checked today, it seems that Her Royal Highness the princess has already prepared and wants to catch turtles in the urn!"
Niu Sanbao's innocent and lovely eyes widened, and his handsome little face smiled happily.
"Who do you say is a turtle! I didn't scold you for three days, and I can't clean it up? I think you're a turtle! ”
When Lu Chengfeng heard Niu Sanbao's lame fart slapped on the horse's leg, he rolled his eyes angrily and funny, and scolded.
"Damn it! Yes, yes, I'm just a fool. Obviously I didn't mean it that way, I'm stupid, I'm ......"
Niu Sanbao pretended to slap himself in the face, regretting that he had said the wrong thing with his stupid mouth.
"Come on, let's talk about it, since today's four gates have already received the instructions of the princess and strictly investigated them, how did Jin Buchang successfully get people out just now?"
Lu Chengfeng only cares about whether his beautiful wife has arrived on the other side of success safe and sound.
"This, what ...... this?"
Niu Sanbao vomited again, for fear that his stupid mouth would tell the truth and provoke his master to provoke a scolding.
"If you have something to say, let it go if you have a fart! The most important thing is to be honest with the master! You know? ”
Lu Chengfeng knocked a chestnut on Niu Sanbao's head and forced his eyes.
"Okay, I said! I said, don't be angry, Your Highness! ”
Niu Sanbao's face was red for a while, and he said timidly.
If you say it, you will be scolded, and if you don't say it, you will be scolded. I don't even know what to do! Why is his life so bitter!
"Say! If you say it, you can say it! I promise you first, as long as you say it, no matter what, I won't blame you! ”
Lu Chengfeng looked at Niu Sanbao's eyes, swore an oath, grinned at the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile.
"Good! This is what your Royal Highness personally agreed! Then I said it! Seeing that there was no way to go out of the house, and he was afraid that he would be searched out by Her Royal Highness the Princess, Steward Jin was also in a hurry, hiding the new master, the young grandmother, in the chicken coop, and transporting it out with those live chickens and ducks! ”
Niu Sanbao got his words, and finally stopped talking
I'm gone, the bamboo tube poured beans like a brain to reveal the truth and the disk.
"What? How dare you abuse my daughter-in-law like this?! You can't find death! ”
When Lu Chengfeng heard it, he was really angry, and he was about to have a seizure!
"Your Highness, what did the slave say? You promised me not to be angry! I might as well not have said it! ”
Niu Sanbao muttered pitifully.
Lu Chengfeng thought that his beloved little wife was actually sent out in the same cage with those dirty and smelly birds, and his heart was full of anger, but he was stalked in his throat by Niu Sanbao's words.
I only listened to Niu Sanbao then explained:
"Butler Jin, isn't this also for your two masters, okay? Now which of these guards was not brought by the prince and princess from the fiefdom of Changzhou? Time is pressing, and he really has no other tricks! Fortunately, I finally got through the trick! ”
"Are you saying they don't check the chicken and duck cages? It's okay, that's it! It's just that I have wronged my wife! ”
Lu Chengfeng shook his head helplessly and sighed.
"Not really! Your Highness, you don't know! Today's sudden inventory is particularly strict! Not to mention the carriages and sedan chairs that leave the house, even the water wheels and dung trucks are checked! As long as the shape is huge and hollow, the exit will be carefully searched! Steward Jin saw that the situation was not right, so he made this decision. ”
Niu Sanbao talked about the adventure just now, and his eyebrows danced.
"What? Even the dung truck checked? ”
Lu Chengfeng was really shocked and asked.
Mo Feige is really a ruthless person! It's got an inner taste!
Niu Sanbao was talking about the excitement, completely ignoring Lu Chengfeng's jaw that was about to fall off, and continued to say to himself:
"Seeing that the chicken and duck cage has arrived at the door, it will also be checked! I hid to the side to prepare the car, and I was secretly observing, but I was afraid that as soon as someone found out, I would report to you immediately. But I saw that the golden housekeeper calmly lifted the curtain of the chicken and duck cage! My heart was pounding! It's all jumping to the throat! ”
Niu Sanbao gestured with his hand, painting the sound and color.
"And then? Didn't the soldiers see that there was someone hidden inside? ”
Lu Chengfeng looked puzzled and incredulous.
Niu Sanbao waved his hand, but nodded again, neither admitting nor denying:
"I admire Steward Jin so much! He unhurriedly told the guards that this chicken and duck had chicken plague and would be contagious! The soldier was afraid that he would be infected, so they let him go! It's dangerous! ”
"It's okay if you don't change it."
Lu Chengfeng smiled with relief.
Laughing, I unconsciously arrived in front of Chaotian Gate.
Chaotianmen, sitting in the north and facing south, majestic in the world. It is the gate in the middle of the palace that can only be walked through when the ministers of civil and military affairs of the imperial family and the official ceremony are in attendance.
A heavy door is opened to the sky, and all the people return to their hearts to declare to the saint.
Lu Chengfeng has also walked through Chaotianmen a few times, but when he walked here today, he had a strange feeling that he had never felt before.
"Your Highness, morning!"
A familiar voice sounded in the background.
Looking back, he said that He Xuzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
"Didn't Lord He go to the Hanlin Academy today to edit your "Yonghe Canon"?"
Lu Chengfeng nodded slightly at He Xuzhi and said with a polite smile in return.
"Today is a celebratory gift for His Royal Highness, such a big happy event, He, as the chief official of the Ministry of Rites, is naturally coming."
He Xuzhi bowed slightly, and said with a false salute:
"He Xuzhi's congratulations to His Royal Highness, congratulations to His Royal Highness! May His Royal Highness be with the Duke of the North End
The main white head is concentric, and the two countries will always be good for Qin and Jin! ”
After raising his head, he looked around with a puzzled face, and a pair of eyes suddenly puffed up like frogs, and said in surprise and suspicion:
"Your Highness is here alone? What about the bride? ”
"Well, I came alone, and the North End didn't come!"
Lu Chengfeng scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.
"Didn't come? This is a celebratory feast hosted by the Son of Heaven himself! How can the people of the northern section be reasonable! ”
When He Xu heard this, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
"Not really! It's a pity that I can't help that North End Woman! She said that she is from the North End, so she doesn't have to abide by the red tape of our Dajing! Especially, these rule-breaking rules of the royal family! The most hypocritical and eye-catching! Whoever loves to follow the rules will obey it! She doesn't want to anyway! I'm so angry with my mother! I can't do anything with her! Ho, sir, you say yes, right? ”
Lu Chengfeng saw that He Xuzhi had already fallen into the plan, so he deliberately added some oil to the flame in his heart, and pretended to be aggrieved.
"Marry a woman! Since this princess of the north end is married to our grandson of Emperor Dajing, she is the bride of our Dajing! Naturally, we must abide by the rules of our Dajing! The rules of the royal family! Outrageous! How unreasonable is that! I need to report to the Emperor and the Queen! After a while, the celebration gifts are gone, and the bride is not present, what should I do? What do you want me to do with the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple! ”
He Xuzhi complained and blamed, but the pace under his feet did not stop for a moment, but instead sped up his steps and walked away.
Lu Chengfeng looked at his tall back that was as fast as the wind, and couldn't help snickering in his heart, and the schadenfreude on his face couldn't be hidden.
"What are you laughing at? Riding the wind, although you are a fierce woman at the northern end, but in my opinion, you are quite happy to be oppressed by her, and you are as happy as a child! ”
A hearty but steady laugh came from the side.
"Nephew participates in His Royal Highness the Fourth Emperor Uncle!"
Lu Chengfeng immediately suppressed the smug smile on his face, and hurriedly saluted His Royal Highness King Xuan according to the rules.
King Xuan glanced at Lu Chengfeng in a low voice, and couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts.
I thought it was only a few months ago when I first saw him, but now that I think about it, I feel like I'm in a different world.
A few months ago, he was a young and immature hairy boy, when he had just entered Beijing, he didn't understand anything, but in a blink of an eye, he had grown into the handsome young man in front of him.
The long jade stands in the Chaotian Gate, and the whole person looks outstanding and outstanding.
"Get up! The virtuous nephew became more and more energetic after marriage! It's only been three days, and I'm already looking like an adult! The ancients said that they should start a family first and then start a business, and they are really honest and don't deceive me! Hahaha! ”
King Xuan patted Lu Chengfeng's shoulder and said with a smile.
"Did Uncle Sihuang say that he praised me for becoming handsome? Hahaha! I think the fourth uncle has become a lot more handsome recently! People are getting more and more spirited, although it seems to be slightly lighter than when they met you at the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet. ”
Lu Chengfeng smiled, and politely replied with a rainbow of praise, mixed with some sincere words.
"Oh? Is it? ”
When King Xuan heard the words "cleared", his brows furrowed slightly, and he muttered to himself.
"Let's go! Father, queen and queen are all waiting to see you, the bridegroom! Today, you are the protagonist in everyone's eyes! Hahahaha......"
Before long, King Xuan's face returned to his usual state, and one hand was put behind the road to ride the wind.
An invisible force pushes the pace of the road forward.
