Chapter 151: The Big Wedding Night
There was a loud "crackling" sound in the room, and several palace maids guarding the door hurriedly rushed in, only to see that the broken porcelain pieces were almost all over the ground, and Banrong was bending down to pick up the pulse pillows and silver needles that fell on the ground.

Yongming, on the other hand, lay on his side on the bed with his back to the crowd, not moving.
This scene, everyone immediately understood, it must be Yongming who was angry, and turned his anger on Dr. Sun for a while, and he didn't say anything at the moment, just lowered his head to pick up the porcelain pieces on the ground.
After everyone cleaned up the mess in the house, they didn't even find out when Banrong went out, and when they looked back and saw that Yongming had been lying on her side for a while, so they guessed that she had fallen asleep, and they all tiptoed out, not daring to disturb.
After such a toss, Liu Yan had already taken Ruoyu back to the palace from Yanhu Villa, and the imperial musician Gao Luo came to play music in person, which was not only sold to the East Palace, but more importantly, to strengthen the intersection between him and the Langya Wang family.
In recent days, the emperor had a terrible headache and was really unable to get out of bed, so he had to send someone to send a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets and two pots of wine to express his blessings.
However, Concubine Gao Xian came in person, always smiling, seemed to be particularly satisfied with this wedding banquet, after kneeling and bowing, the two of them were about to move to Zhiluo Palace surrounded by everyone, the guests were all smiling and watching, for a while, the atmosphere inside and outside the hall was very festive.
Gonggong Mei suddenly rushed in from outside the hall, but when he reached the threshold, he retreated, Liu Yan looked at his embarrassed expression, his eyes tightened, and his heart was a little uneasy.
When he led Ruoyu to the outside of the hall, Gonggong Mei suddenly came over and whispered in his ear: "The crown princess is gone." ”
Liu Yan couldn't hold back the unhappiness in his heart, glanced around, and reprimanded in a low voice: "What's the matter? Didn't it make you take a good look at her? Can a big living person disappear from under your noses? ”
"Yes...... It was Dr. Sun and the crown princess who changed their clothes and hid it from us. Father-in-law Mei said tremblingly.
"What?!" Liu Yan stopped in surprise, he never imagined that the person who helped Yongming escape would be Banrong.
The people in the hall noticed the abnormality, and they all quieted down, and they all looked at it, and they didn't want to whisper. Even Concubine Gao Xian couldn't help but stand up and looked out of the hall with great concern.
Seeing this, Chu Shenxia hurriedly walked to Liu Yan's side and admonished, "Your Highness." With so many pairs of eyes watching, even if there is something, it is not too late to go back to Zhiluo Palace. ”
Liu Yan was reminded by him, took another step, and said to him while tilting his head: "Yongming is out of the palace." You hurry up and bring someone to find her, and no matter what, bring her back. ”
Ruoyu under the hood heard the conversations of several of them clearly, and he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, so he could only pretend not to hear it.
After sending Ruoyu to Zhiluo Palace, according to the custom, Liu Yan should return to the main hall and drink and laugh with all the guests, but he turned around and walked out of the palace gate, jumped on his horse and ran away.
Soon. The news that the prince snatched the horse spread in the East Palace, and Wang Quanming's face was naturally not good-looking, but Concubine Gao Xian was present, and it was not easy to have a seizure, so she pretended to be unwell and returned to Yanhu Villa.
Chu Shenxia met Liu Yan dressed in red at the south gate, and was almost stunned: "Your Highness is the day of the wedding today, so leaving the side concubine like this will inevitably fall into the mouth." ”
"It's just some empty and wrongful officialdom, so it's better to take advantage of this gap to take a look. Don't say these useless, what did you find out that you didn't? Liu Yan jumped off his horse under the curious gaze of the people around him, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "Spread out, don't look at it!" ”
It's no wonder that there are quite a few people gathered around. A groom official dressed in a gorgeous costume, with a golden dragon embroidered on his robe, reminiscent of today's East Palace wedding banquet, it is hard not to think that the person in front of him is the prince of the East Palace.
In fact, even if he is not a prince, he is just an ordinary groom official. On the day of the wedding, it is curious enough to not hold a wine and banquet in the mansion, but to appear on the streets and alleys to find someone.
Chu Shenxia glanced around, shook his head and said, "No one here at the south gate has ever seen the crown princess, and the people I sent to investigate the other three gates also said that they have not seen the crown princess." ”
"That is to say, she is still in the city, and she can't go far alone." Liu Yan looked happy, turned his head to look for Lu Zhi in the crowd, swept his eyes, and didn't find Lu Zhi, and couldn't help shouting, "Lu Zhi!" Lu Zhi! ”
"Your Highness, Lu Zhi went to the north gate." Chu Shenxia saw that there were a lot more people around him who were attracted by his shouting, and hurriedly reminded him.
"Oh...... So, I forgot for a while, so let's go back to the house in three hours, let's go look for it again. Liu Yan didn't notice Chu Shenxia's slightly changing face, took two steps and turned back and asked, "By the way, do you know where Jing Yan is?" ”
"Your Highness suspects that Yongming and Jing Yi are together?" When Chu Shenxia said the word Jing Yan, his voice was extremely heavy.
Liu Yan still didn't hear that something was wrong with him, and said very seriously: "Yongming didn't know anyone else here, she fled this time, she didn't even bring Yuan Qing with her, and she didn't get along with Jing Yan, so where else could she go?" ”
"Does His Highness like the Crown Princess?"
This question was like a pair of scissors, stabbing Liu Yan's heart paper, Liu Yan's back stiffened, and he paused for a long time before he smiled awkwardly: "How come?" I don't like her ......."
"If His Royal Highness doesn't like the crown princess, please ask His Highness to go back to the palace, the side concubine is waiting for His Highness to go back, and a bird flies out of the cage, then let it fly, don't try to catch it back." Chu Shenxia glanced at Liu Yan meaningfully, and said, "The Lu Kingdom has been destroyed, and with the appeal of Princess Yongming, it is impossible to pose a threat to His Highness, Your Highness can rest assured to go back." ”
"And what if I say I like it?" Liu Yan's gaze at Shangchu Shenxia did not mean to give up the search for a moment.
Chu Shenxia didn't answer immediately, but took his horse, walked to his side and said, "If His Royal Highness likes the crown princess, he should go back." Your Highness asked me why? I don't know why, but I just know that no one will reach out and pick a flower, so that it will not live for three days and wither and die, and if I really like a bird, no one will wring its wings or put it in a cage and watch it spend its days in pain. ”
"I'm just worried about her, she can't live alone outside." Liu Yan hurriedly opened his mouth to explain, but when he met Chu Shenxia's torch-like gaze, he swallowed the words in his mouth, and finally said, "You don't plan to let me go to her anyway, do you?" ”
"Crown Princess, we will go to find it, as soon as there is news, we will notify Your Highness, Your Highness should go back, even if Your Highness doesn't care what she is in the eyes of others, then Miss Ruoyu's reputation is also bothered to take care of Your Highness." Chu Shenxia handed the reins to Liu Yan, his face full of expressions of send-off.
Liu Yan thought about it again and again, whether he took the reins, and before getting on the horse, he couldn't help but admonish: "Notify me immediately if there is news." ”
Chu Shenxia would do his best to find it, otherwise Liu Yan would not have left like this, but he waited in the East Palace until three o'clock in the unitary hour, and he didn't see Chu Shenxia come back.
Unintentional dinner, Liu Yan walked all the way to Zhiluo Palace, and saw Ruo Yu'an sitting on the edge of the bed, Liu Yan suddenly felt a little ashamed in his heart, poured a cup of tea for her, and explained sincerely: "Yongming is frail and sick, I am very worried about her, so I ......"
"It's nothing, Your Highness doesn't have to explain too much." Ruoyu's muffled voice came from under the hijab, making it difficult to hear what her emotions were.
Liu Yan saw that she never took the cup of tea in her hand, and said with some uneasiness in her heart: "I know that your father thinks that I have humiliated his face by doing this, and it is also ...... to your reputation."
Ruoyu interrupted him again and said, "I said, it's nothing, Your Highness doesn't have to take it to heart." ”
Liu Yan was startled by her sudden scream, so he had to retract the hand holding the teacup and put it on the table beside him.
When he was embarrassed and had nothing to say, Gonggong Mei suddenly walked in from outside the hall, and after glancing at Ruoyu who was covered with a hijab, he whispered in Liu Yan's ear: "Someone just came to report that the whereabouts of the crown princess have been missing." ”
"Really? Where are the people now? Liu Yan happily couldn't control his tone, and once broke his tone.
Gonggong Mei glanced at Ruoyu again in embarrassment, how high Ruoyu's martial arts are, he is naturally jealous, afraid that when the time comes, Ruoyu will be resentful in his heart and send it to himself.
But at that time, Liu Yan was so excited, he couldn't allow him to think too much, and said slowly: "Yes, someone saw her walking in the direction of Qixia Mountain." ”
Liu Yan was shocked in her heart, what did she do in Qixia Mountain? Don't you go to find Jing Yan, right? If that's the case, once she is allowed to enter Qixia Mountain, then he really can't bring her back.
The more Liu Yan thought about it, the more wrong it became, and in a flash, he took the sword on the wall, and was about to go out, when Ruoyu behind him suddenly got up, suddenly lifted the red hijab, and shouted in a deep voice: "Your Highness!" ”
Liu Yan was startled by her loud shout, and his swift footsteps suddenly stopped, and he looked back at her a little unsteadily, but before he could see her face clearly, he had already heard her say indifferently: "I'll go with His Highness!" ”
"Good ......" Liu Yan clearly heard his voice tremble, but he didn't care so much, took Ruoyu's hand and ran out of the hall.
Today is the wedding day of the two of them, and it is already night, but the two of them do not go to bed, but run outside, and the palace maids and guards on duty all show shocked expressions.
Under the black moon, there were two neighing sounds of horses at the main gate of the East Palace, followed by a crisp and powerful sound of horses' hooves, someone stood on the city wall and looked, only to see two horses carrying two fires running in a hurry, and couldn't help but rub their eyes, thinking that they were wrong.
After a closer look, I found that it was the crown prince Liu Yan and the side concubine Ruoyu, who were struggling to raise their horsewhips, the night breeze blew their wedding dresses, the women's light yarns fluttered, and the men's demeanor was fluttering, which was really a beautiful scenery.
