Chapter 166: Marriage
Xuanwang's Mansion.
As soon as the morning dawned, Steward Zhou came out with two servants and hung lanterns on the gate of the palace. The little servant climbed up with a ladder and hung a pair of red lanterns with the word "Xi" written on them.
Steward Zhou looked up at the lantern, although it said Xizi, he didn't feel any joy. The prince said that he would marry Miss Xu today and ask him to prepare, and then there would be no other instructions. He went to Mama Rong to discuss the wedding, and Mama Rong said that marrying a side concubine did not have the etiquette of worshipping heaven and earth, just setting up a banquet. But the prince didn't invite anyone, they didn't have to prepare a banquet, so the rest was just to decorate the palace and hang lanterns with the word "Xi" everywhere.
Qingfeng told him that it was enough to hang the west courtyard and the gate of the palace, and not to hang the north courtyard. He wasn't sure if he wanted to listen to the breeze. Qingfeng said that the prince did not go to marry in person, but let the four princes replace him, you should know what the prince thinks.
Steward Zhou understood, so according to Qingfeng, the lantern with the word "Xi" was only hung on the west courtyard and the gate of the palace.
In the study, Nangong sat for a night. Mama Rong came in and said, "Lord Wang, it's time for you to bathe and change your clothes." ”
Nangong You hasn't even slept in the past few days, let alone bathed and changed clothes. He didn't want to marry another woman, but the Queen Mother forced him. He had promised Yan'er that he would not marry another woman, and now he lost his word. He also has no choice, Yan'er is pregnant, so he has to pick her up as soon as possible. Although Xiao Yuhan is right, I believe that Yan'er has a way to finish copying "Daughter's Book" 1,000 times earlier, but how long will it take? He couldn't wait. The Queen Mother Yizhi can be put aside first, but he will marry Xu Zishu sooner or later, rather than delaying it for so long, it is better to bring Yan'er back as soon as possible.
Nangong You is indeed very powerless in front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor. The education he received since he was a child prevented him from doing big rebellious things.
Mama Rong saw that the prince was sitting and didn't move, so she shouted again: "Lord! Later, the Xu family sent their relatives here, and you want to meet them. "Meaning, you can't just meet people like that.
Nangong You sighed and said, "Order someone to prepare for a bath." ”
"Yes."
Mama Rong withdrew, shaking her head in her heart, Empress Dowager Xu is really unwise, she married Miss Xu into the Xuanwang Mansion like this, and the prince will not be very good to Concubine Xu in the future. Although Miss Xu is a famous talented woman, they probably don't know that the Xuanwang Mansion is the princess in charge, and the prince listens to her, who told the princess to feed the princess up and down in this mansion, and the princess has given everyone so many benefits. Concubine Xu entered the palace, if the princess wanted to target her, her life would not be easy.
Mama Rong shook her head, forget it, this is the master's business, she is a subordinate, that is, she thinks about it in her heart.
Nangong You bathed and changed clothes, Nangong Chen had already arrived, sitting in the study and waiting for him.
"Brother Three Emperors."
Nangong Chen looked dazzling in a prince's dress, but the complexion on his face was not very good, as if he hadn't slept all night.
Nangong Yu asked casually, "You didn't sleep last night?" ”
Nangong Chen snorted for a long time, and finally said: "Yes, I didn't sleep last night, I went to drink with the third emperor's sister-in-law." ”
Nangong Yu was stunned, he didn't expect to see Yan'er. Didn't the Queen Mother even refuse to say where Yan'er was held, how did he meet Yan'er?
Nangong Chen told him that he couldn't sleep last night, and he heard someone singing in the middle of the night, and he found it by looking for the singing.
Nangong You stood up all of a sudden, and asked with some excitement, "How is Yan'er now?" ”
Nangong Chen was a little afraid to say it, thought about it, and said: "When I first met the Third Emperor Sister-in-law, the Third Emperor Sister-in-law said that she was living a good life and every day was very fulfilling. ”
Plenum? I had to copy that damn "Daughter's Book" every day, and of course she was enriched. Nangong You still knows Ye Xiaoyan well, and knows that she is an optimistic person and will not feel sorry for herself.
Nangong You asked: "Then what?" How can you get her to drink, don't you know she's pregnant? ”
"Then ......" Nangong Chen said with some hesitation: "I thought, the matter of your marriage to Concubine Xu, the third emperor's sister-in-law will know sooner or later, it is better for me to reveal it to her first, so that she can be mentally prepared." What if you come to the palace tomorrow to pick her up and she refuses to come back with you? Nangong Chen felt that it was not impossible to do so.
She got it! Nangong sat down gloomily, she would definitely know about this. Nangong You didn't mean to blame Nangong Chen.
"What else did she say?" Nangong asked Nangong Chen.
So Nangong Chen told Nangong You what he and Ye Xiaoyan had said last night. In fact, the two of them didn't talk much last night, and Ye Xiaoyan didn't talk and drank all the time.
Nangong You wanted to explain to her in person that he had no choice, but he didn't dare to see her. Yan'er said, "Even you know that climbing the wall is relatively fast, so he really has no other way."
The Queen Mother was so resolute, and his father refused to help him, he didn't know what else to do. If it is really as Xiao Yuhan said, then he is a big rebel, and he can't do that kind of thing.
Nangong You asked, "How is she now?" ”
"Well, the third sister-in-law fell asleep outside the house, and I wanted her to go into the house and sleep on the bed, but she couldn't wake up. Men and women don't kiss, and it's hard for me to do anything. I thought that the maid would find her when it was almost dawn, so I left. ”
Nangong raised his eyes and looked at Nangong Chen in disbelief, he actually left Yan'er like this?
Nangong Chen saw his eyes and hurriedly said, "At that time, everyone in the palace got up, and I had to leave quickly, otherwise I would be discovered." ”
Nangong You said, "You take me to see her tonight." ”
Nangong Chen said: "Tonight is your big day...... he didn't dare to say, you still want a cave room. However, looking at this situation, the Third Emperor Brother should not be able to cave the house. Alas, forget it, there is really nothing he can do about their affairs. If one day, he marries someone he doesn't want to marry, he thinks he won't have a house.
Nangong Chen looked at the corner of the room and said, "Third Emperor Brother, the hour is almost up, I should leave for Xu's Mansion." ”
"Well, there you go."
After meditating for a few days, Nangong You also figured it out. When Xu Zishu came back from marrying, she stayed in the West Courtyard and did not allow her to take a step out of the West Courtyard. Just like when Zhou Qianru lived in Xuanwang's Mansion, she just had to raise one more person. The important thing now is to bring Yan'a back. She will definitely be angry, and tell her that she is not unreasonable.
Xufu.
In the past few days, Xu Zishu is preparing to get married, because she is a side concubine, her wedding dress is pink. The wedding dress was delivered, and Xianghe helped the young lady try on the wedding dress.
Xianghe said: "Miss is so aggrieved, His Royal Highness King Xuan actually said three days." "Xianghe doesn't understand why Miss still agrees, will His Royal Highness King Xuan be good to Miss in the future.
Xu Zishu was also a little melancholy. She went on hunger strike and didn't know what was going on outside. Later, I learned that she had underestimated Princess Xuan before. She used to be very confident in herself, and felt that as long as she married into the Xuanwang Mansion, that Ye Xiaoyan was not her opponent. But now, she wasn't sure.
No, she'll have to think of something else......
