Chapter 213: A Fateful Encounter
"Worship heaven and earth!"
After saluting, Dequan shouted again, which is the wedding salute often seen on TV.
Su Jiao unconsciously propped her chin and glanced at the two newcomers, although it was obvious that neither of them was very happy, but I have to say that the atmosphere and picture of this marriage are really eye-catching and moving.
"Second worship high hall!"
When the words landed, the elderly ministers did not change much, but Zhou Hongyan, the county lord of Pingcheng who was also invited, sneered mockingly.
Fortunately, her voice was quickly covered by Dequan's voice, but the eldest princess Xu Ruru, who was an old enemy, saw her movements, and when the county lord's eyes turned, she glared at her very blatantly.
"Husband and wife worship each other!"
"Licheng!"
Su Jiao wiped her nose and endured without yawning, this kneeling ceremony is the climax of today's banquet, and now that the ceremony is over, it will be boring again.
After the county lord got up, Xu Ruyu showed a very caring look, took her hand, and asked Xu Yi to personally send someone to send the county lord back.
The people in the hall had their own thoughts, Xu Ruyu turned his head and bowed his hand to the emperor, "Father, the son and son go to change clothes." ”
"Go ahead." The emperor was in a very good mood today, and he nodded lovingly to Xu Ruyu, and he retreated.
Xu Ruru wanted to speak and stopped, and after watching Xu Ruyu leave, she couldn't help but puff up her cheeks slightly, and quietly ran out when everyone in the hall was not paying attention.
On the other side, fortunately, it was not Xu Yin's personal escort, Wenren Xia Shu waited for the people in the cave room to almost retreat, and there was to have her own person responsible for dragging the etiquette grandmother, so she directly lifted the hijab, and waited in a hidden corner not far from the courtyard of the cave house with her skirt.
The banquet in the main hall is still going on, and no one will notice it at the most lively time. The location of the annex is relatively high, and as soon as Natsuki raised his head, he could see the full moon hanging in the sky, as if it was facing him, as if he wanted to press it down.
As the county lord, Xia Shu has also been pampered since he was a child, when did he do such a thing, for a while, his heart turned a thousand times, hesitating, and the next moment a person's footsteps came from his ears, which immediately interrupted all her thoughts.
Xia Shu turned his head with a sad face, and saw the visitor clearly, wearing the performance costume at the banquet just now, although it was the costume of a low-class artist in the Japanese Kingdom, it could not hide the innate nobility of the person who came.
The visitor took off his mask, revealing the truly handsome face that belonged to him, and as soon as Natsuki saw him, he felt all the worries and grievances in his heart rush up, and tears almost burst out of his eyes, and he threw himself into the man's arms.
"Cousin."
"Natsuki, wait a minute." Mu Zhuliu kept a straight face all the way over, and it wasn't until Natsuki came over and hugged him that his face softened a little.
His voice was extremely soft, just like the tone he said when Xia Shu was most tempted at the beginning, and he didn't change at all, he put his hands around Xia Shu's shoulders, and couldn't help but gently pat and soothe.
"Cousin, I haven't seen you for so long, I'm really afraid that after I marry here, I won't be able to meet you again."
Natsuki buried himself in his chest, not daring to raise his head, but she could clearly hear her choked breath from her tone.
The wooden pillow sighed in his heart, slowly pulled the person away, slightly bent his knees and faced Natsuki, the distance between the two was very close, and even their respective breaths could be felt clearly. As soon as Mu Zhuliu opened his eyes, he saw the crystal clear teardrop in Xia Shu's eyes.
"Shu'er," Mu Zhuliu looked at the tears in Xia Shu's eyes, although he was also very unbearable in his heart, he still had to harden his heart and take Xia Shu's handkerchief to wipe away her tears.
"I know you're hard, but you've got to be patient. Until we reach our ultimate goal, we can only grieve you to live here for a while. Don't worry, even if the results are not satisfactory, when the time comes, I will find a way to get you back. ”
The most useless thing in this world is the three words "you can rest assured", but as long as it comes out of the mouth of the wooden sleeper, Natsuki always believes it without hesitation.
"Hmm." Natsuki answered, her eyes flashing continuously, and after quietly watching the wooden pillow flow for a while, she lowered her head embarrassedly.
"It's just that I can't live up to my cousin's expectations of me, but I haven't been able to successfully infiltrate the palace."
"It's okay," although Inoue Kawa quietly found him to mention this matter before, and Mu Sleeper was still able to pretend not to care, but when he heard it with his own ears again, he was inevitably a little unhappy that his design had failed.
Mu Zhuliu's subordinates paused, and once again widened the distance between the two of them and Natsuki, "You don't have to be impatient, and follow the second prince to listen, it's okay to have some time to rest, and I'll take care of the rest." And this Chaozhong also has our early morning inside, you don't have to worry. ”
"However, he is a person from Daze, why would he do such a thing, it is unreliable, right?" Xia Shu frowned slightly, and wanted to remind a wooden sleeper to flow a few words, but he was interrupted by his words.
"Okay, it's not too early now, if you come out for too long, someone will find out, go back first." Mu Zhuliu lowered his eyes, and he didn't know if he had listened.
Natsuki had no choice, so he quietly gritted his teeth and left first with his skirt. After watching her figure disappear into the darkness, Murphy put on her mask again and walked out along the path she had entered.
At the same time, as long as Xu Ruru in the hall lowered her head, she could see Zhou Hongyan, who she hated the most, and after Xu Ruyu left, there were few people in the hall who could speak.
She walked out of boredom for a moment and shook casually, who knew that when she passed a flower path, she actually saw a tall and masked wooden pillow in a performance costume.
Although some people who are curious about the performance are unlikely to come here, more importantly, after this person walked by, the wind actually blew a wave of the person who was late to the first banquet when the Japanese envoy came.
Ruru moved her nose to make sure that the smell was not wrong, so she quietly lifted the hem of her skirt and tried to keep up. The wooden sleeper was walking in front, and suddenly noticed that someone seemed to be following a hand behind him, and quietly held the dagger he was carrying in the wide sleeve, turned around suddenly, and almost collided with Xu Ruru.
"Oops, it stinks, are you wearing that mask from last time again?" Xu Ruru hurriedly stood on her feet, covering her nose in disgust.
The wooden pillow was hidden behind the mask, frowning slightly, and when she saw that it was Xu Ruru, she subconsciously wanted to dodge, "The princess admitted that she was wrong, the grass people are just artists." ”
After that, Mu Zhuliu wanted to turn around and leave, who knew that Ruru rarely met someone she knew, how could she easily give up a step and turn to him, "Don't try to lie to me, this princess's nose has been very effective since she was a child, I recognized you early on, you are - Wen Renyi, right." ”
As soon as these words came out, Mu Sleeper Liu suddenly felt a burst of wit on his back, and the hand holding the dagger was unconsciously clenched. He didn't mean much to this little princess originally, but if she was entangled, he had to think about it.
"I said, who sent you, you have to hide your own life, and you want to assassinate my father, but fortunately it didn't work, otherwise do you know how big a crime this is?"
Xu Ruru saw that he didn't refute, and lowered her voice very intimately for a while. She was afraid that it was too good to be a princess in the palace to protect her, and she didn't know how to guard against it, if Mu Pillow Liu was really an assassin, would she also be a threat to herself.
But thanks to her words of concern, the wooden pillow flow dispelled the idea in her heart. Mu Zhuliu had no choice but to take off his mask, but he still reluctantly raised a smile that he didn't care.
"The princess has a good memory, but the princess did recognize the wrong person, how dare the grass people assassinate His Majesty. As for the taste of the so-called human face mask, it is just because when we go out to perform, everyone must have such a device in their hands, and it cannot be regarded as evidence. ”
He naturally didn't need to wear a mask when he came to see Xia Shu, but he was inevitably recognized, and he still carried it with him in a prepared way, but he didn't expect that Xu Ruru could smell it.
The wooden sleeper liu lied and didn't make a draft, so he casually found an explanation and prevaricated the words, Xu Ruru listened to it with half a doubt, but he couldn't find anything wrong with this, squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, and actually plucked his feet and pinched the face of the wooden sleeper flow directly.
Mu Zhuliu's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked surprised, but Xu Ruru clapped his hands with a smile, "Ha, I really didn't bring it, but it scared me, I really thought you did something stupid." ”
"In that case, you are going back soon, and you will have time to change the trick of the last time for me today, I want a pigeon this time."
Last time, I came prepared, but this time I was empty-handed, how can I change? Mu Zhuliu frowned silently, very helpless, and didn't know how to get rid of Xu Ruru.
But suddenly, Xu Ruru's nose sniffed lightly again, and she didn't need a wooden pillow to find an explanation, so she grabbed his hand, anxious to find a place to hide.
"Why is she this nasty ghost again, this princess came out, and she followed, it's so annoying, you quickly find a place to hide."
Xu Ruru stomped his feet angrily, but the wooden sleeper was stunned for a moment, after all, he still didn't have time, Zhou Hongyan, the county lord of Pingcheng, who has always been known for his coquettishness and domineering, had already walked under the willow tree over there, and looked at Xu Ruru and the wooden sleeper with a mocking smile.
