Chapter 40: Marriage
All the items were carried back to the warehouse intact, only the dagger was left by Xu Qingqing's side.
The dagger seemed small, but it was extremely heavy, and it was a little difficult for her to hold it in her hand.
If you have no power, you will be bullied, and if you have no power or power, you will be controlled by others, which is really not a long-term strategy......
Xu Qingqing put the dagger under the pillow and silently made plans for the future.
Zilu was a little frightened on the side, afraid that the master would not be able to think about it, and also afraid that the master would hurt His Royal Highness on the wedding night.
Others can't see it, but she knows that the master doesn't plan to accept this marriage at all, it's all His Royal Highness Prince Hong who shaves his head and picks his head hot!
"Girl, this dagger ......," she said hesitantly.
"This dagger is also a self-defense thing, and with it, my heart is always safer." Xu Qingqing explained.
Zilu nodded in disbelief, and said in her heart, who in this mansion can use a dagger to deal with?
This night, the Qingyin Palace, which had not been visited for a long time, suddenly came to someone.
"Wen Yao, why do you have time to come here today, His Royal Highness Prince Hong?" Bi Ya probed her head behind Wen Yao in surprise.
"His Royal Highness is about to get married, so naturally he has no time to spare, so he specially asked me to come over and send some mixed medicinal materials to Xu Gongzi." Wen Yao pointed to the medicine basket in her hand.
There are no medicinal materials in the palace, why do you have to send them from outside?
Biya was puzzled, and was about to ask a question, when Yao Shun on the side opened his mouth: "Miss Wen Yao, come with me, the son has been waiting for a long time." ”
As he spoke, he led Wen Yao in.
Wen Yao and Xu Shuhuai have been old acquaintances, the two have known each other since childhood, at that time, Xu Shuhuai and Lin Hongyi were excellent playmates, Biya followed the two and served, and life was simple and pure, unlike now, a master, a slave, and a eunuch have simply become eunuchs......
Every time she thought about this, Wen Yao couldn't help but sigh.
When he came to the inner hall, Xu Shuhuai was fiddling with a palm-sized white jade jar.
I don't know what the jar contains, he looked at it intently, and Wen Yao didn't notice it when he came to it.
"Xu Gongzi, Xu Gongzi?" Wen Yao called lightly.
Xu Shuhuai raised his head and put the white jade jar in his sleeve: "Why are you here?" Are you here...... Sending me a wedding card? ”
Wen Yao shook her head in wonder, His Royal Highness got married, could it be that Xu Gongzi didn't even receive the wedding card?
"Isn't it almost the wedding date?" Xu Shuhuai asked in a daze.
Wen Yao nodded.
In this entire palace, who doesn't know that His Royal Highness will marry in three days?
"If you want the slave to say, no matter which woman Your Highness marries, it is better than marrying that woman." She pursed her lips and complained.
Xu Shuhuai smiled bitterly when he heard this: "How can you decide this matter?" By the way, what unusual behavior has that woman had recently had, and does Prince Hong still hate her as much as before? ”
After all, the two are old acquaintances, and they don't need to worry about so many rules and etiquette.
Wen Yao quickly opened the chatterbox and chattered, completely forgetting the words of prudence and prudence, starting from the fact that His Royal Highness gave Xu Qingqing a bunch of knives, guns and sticks, and said that Xu Qingqing had not received anything else, except for a dagger, and put the dagger under the pillow as a lovesick thing every night, without avoiding suspicion, and not afraid of being laughed at by the subordinates......
Xu Shuhuai listened quietly and nodded: "In addition to these, what else is special?" ”
Something special?
Wen Yao thought for a while, and said "oh": "By the way, there is also a former court maid in the mansion, who was driven out by me." ”
"What former court maid?" Xu Shuhuai asked.
"He said that he had served by Xu Yuanyu's side, and he wanted to come to his previous master." Wen Yao said.
She didn't notice that when she finished saying this, Xu Shuhuai's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Do you remember her name?"
"Of course I remember, if I'm not mistaken, it should be called Yulu."
Yulu ......
The corners of Xu Shuhuai's lips were not bent, and he was in a very good mood, and pointed to the guqin on the side: "Wen Yao, haven't you always wanted to learn the piano, why don't I ask Biya to teach you a song today." ”
Wen Yao nodded to herself.
Biya came over soon, and Xu Shuhuai came to the hall alone.
The night is thick, there are no stars and no moon in the sky, but there are dark clouds surging, heavy pressure on the sky above the capital, almost can touch those high cornices and red rails.
"Childe." The eunuch Yao Shun came behind him at some point, and stood respectfully in the thin shadow.
"Find out the whereabouts of the rain now." Xu Shuhuai commanded.
Yao Shun took the order.
A little palace maid is not difficult to find, especially when she has appeared in Prince Hong's mansion, and several small servants in the mansion have some impressions of her.
Soon, Yulu was found by Yao Shun and brought into the palace......
Three days passed, and it was the day of marriage.
Prince Hong's mansion is full of lights, so lively.
"Congratulations girl, congratulations girl, you will be the princess from now on!" Zilu groomed Xu Qingqing while smiling and saying auspicious words.
The housekeeper who has always picked the door is very generous today, and opened the treasury to put a lot of rewards, and all the subordinates have rewards, as Xu Qingqing's personal maid, Zilu, has even got a jasper bracelet, which is called an eyebrow smile.
"Sister Zilu, the auspicious time is coming." A few little maids brought auspicious clothes and waited for Xu Qingqing to change her clothes.
On the red wide-sleeved long skirt, embroidered with dark gold silk thread with five Zhai Lingyun patterns, embellished on each Zhai phoenix feather is a small and round chalcedony, shining with the flow of brilliance, and the gold and silver silk threads complement each other, indescribably expensive, and the waist is tied with a gold silk soft smoke Luo jade belt, showing a graceful posture between the slim and jade.
Zilu combed Xu Qingqing's hair in a stunning bun, and after the bun, six clear moonstone hairpins were inserted on the left and right, and the bell of the fine flower buds fell, and the sound of the moon stone was extremely beautiful, and the color of the moonstone added a bit of luxury that can only be seen from a distance and cannot be blasphemed.
Distant mountain eyebrows, hibiscus face...... That's pretty much it.
The makeup is delicate, the skin is better than snow, especially the clear eyes are like a spring water, so beautiful that it is almost suffocating, the pearl of the earrings is gently swaying, soft and soft like smoke, and the mist and water are shining, which is more ethereal.
Zilu couldn't help but look a little stunned, and it took a while to come back to her senses and remind softly: "Girl, it's time to get out of the house." ”
