Chapter 229: Grand Ceremony

The guests who watched the ceremony today had all arrived, and Lin Shihong, the prince of Lin Guo, stood up with a smile on his face. He was dressed in a silver-white robe embroidered with dark lines, which set off his figure more and more upright. Don't care that he doesn't do his job on weekdays, but he is still elegant in his daughter's courtesy.

"Today, the little girl Zhuohua is acknowledging and saluting, and thank all the guests for coming. I won't say much else, the following little girl Zhuohua adult and the ceremony is the beginning! He was slightly poisonous, facing the direction of the east room, and his voice was clear: "Please little girl Zhuohua, enter to meet the guests." ”

Feng Shuhui walked out first, absorbed it with public opinion, and took place on the west step. Then Lin Zhuohua walked out of the east room, went to the venue, faced south, and saluted the guests. Then he knelt facing west and sat on the throne.

Feng Shuhui stepped forward to comb her hair, and after combing it, she put the comb on the south side of the mat, and then retreated to her place.

The queen looked at the little man kneeling on the futon, and a flash of relief flashed in her eyes. She got up slowly, and Mrs. Lin and Lin Guogong also hurriedly got up to accompany her. She walked down the east stairs and wiped dry. Then the husband and wife of the same Lin Guogong Mansion bowed to each other, and then each returned to their seats and sat down.

Lin Zhuohua knelt on the futon and watched, speechless in his heart. The process of this ritual is really boring and cumbersome, and although there is a futon under the body, it is also very uncomfortable to kneel for a long time.

After that, the first prostration, the second prostration, the second prostration, the third prostration, and the third prostration......

When his father's clear voice sounded in his ears: "The little girl Zhuohua and the ceremony have been completed, thank you for your generous participation!" ”

Lin Zhuohua instantly felt that the world was happy, and she followed her father and mother to bow to everyone to express her gratitude.

The elaborate and grand ceremony finally came to an end, and the guests were ushered to the feast.

Feng Shuhui and Li Zhixue stayed behind and helped Lin Zhuohua back to the east room.

As soon as Lin Zhuohua returned to the east, he immediately sat down on the couch. The whole person was wilted, as if he was tired.

Feng Shuhui poured her a glass of water and said with a smile: "After today, I am afraid that you will be the object of envy and jealousy of the entire Shangjing nobles." ”

This time, Lin Zhuohua's ceremony was too grand, and the queen was the guest of honor, even if the royal princess couldn't invite the queen to sit as a guest.

Although the prince and King Yi and other princes did not attend the scene in person, they all sent valuable congratulatory gifts. Even the emperor and the queen mother also sent rewards, which shows how much Lin Zhuohua's favor is.

Lin Zhuohua took the teacup and took a sip. His face was full of helplessness, and he said weakly: "I'd rather only invite close friends, simple and warm." However, whether it is grandparents or the queen mother in the palace, they are not allowed, and they can only do this. ”

She looked out through the open window. The people were cleaning up the grounds, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces.

When the host has a happy event, most of them will reward the people in the house. The masters of the Lin Guo Mansion have always been generous, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of rewards this time.

"I don't need you to accompany me here, you can go to the banquet and eat something."

After this set, she can be described as very tired. Rubbing his eyebrows, he reached out to help Bai Yu get up.

"I'll go back and rest."

Feng Shuhui and Li Zhixue saw that she was indeed very tired, nodded and went out with her.

Lin Zhuohua took Bai Yu's hand and walked towards Taoyuan, feeling slightly lost in his heart. When she came to the viewing table, she didn't see Li Zeyi. He had promised her that he would come to her ceremony.

He always counts when he talks, so something must have happened, right? When I think about it like this, I can't help but start worrying again.

After all, he now holds half a talisman in his hand, and he has become a prince again. The prince will only be more jealous and cut him to the roots.

She walked into the peach garden with a solemn face, and heard Bai Yu beside her exclaim His Royal Highness Prince Yi. She raised her head suddenly, and saw Li Zeyi, who was standing under the tree in a dark robe embroidered with dark patterns.

Li Zeyi heard the footsteps and raised his head slightly. Seeing the crimson figure walking towards him, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised a gentle arc.

The girl wore a crimson floor-length skirt, the neckline and cuffs were embroidered with intricate patterns with gold threads, and the skirt was embroidered with large peonies, which seemed to come to life as if the skirt was dragged.

The long, jet-black hair was pulled up, and a gold tired hollow bead phoenix hairpin was inserted in the hair. The small face is slightly powdered, and the whole person is solemn and bright. It looks a little different from the vivid and bright of the past, and now it is full of luxury.

He looked a little distracted, and he didn't come back to his senses until he came near.

"You're beautiful today."

Lin Zhuohua looked up at him, and deliberately snorted arrogantly when he heard this: "Aren't I beautiful on weekdays?" ”

"You are beautiful all the time, but today you are more beautiful." A smile flashed in Li Zeyi's eyes, and then he took out a hairpin from his arms. He gently thrust it into her bun and said softly.

"The gift of the ceremony, this is a hairpin made by my own hands."

Lin Zhuohua lacks nothing, and she can naturally feel Li Zeyi's heart. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he couldn't act anymore. Because she knew that although he did not appear, he must have watched the whole process of the ceremony from the dark.

Li Zeyi took her hand and walked towards the room. As soon as I walked into the house, I smelled the fragrance. Looking at the simple four dishes and one soup on the table, what she eats on weekdays is not the same.

"You can't have done this yourself, do you?"

She looked sideways at the person next to her, and her eyes widened in disbelief when she saw him nodding. I think he is a prince and can cook. Just smelling it was good, and she was really curious about what else he wouldn't?

Li Zeyi looked at her shocked appearance, couldn't help laughing, and pinched her cheek: "Let's go, try my cooking skills." ”

Pressing the person on the chair, Li Zeyi took out his treasured fruit wine and poured her a glass, and in an instant the whole room was filled with the sweet aroma of wine.

Lin Zhuohua, who was originally a little tired, faced with his careful arrangement, all the tiredness seemed to disappear in an instant.

The two ate and drank at the same time, and the atmosphere was warm.

Probably because she was happy, Lin Zhuohua drank more, and her little face was red at this time. Her eyes lit up, she looked at him with burning eyes, and suddenly asked.

"Li Zeyi, did you like me in your last life?"

Li Zeyi's body was shocked, and he suddenly looked up at her. My heart was beating so hard that it took me a long time to find my voice.

"Well, I've liked you since my last life. But you like the prince, and I hate why I couldn't have made my heart clear to you earlier. Perhaps, you will not end up in such a miserable end. ”

Lin Zhuohua blinked his big misty eyes and leaned in front of him, his breath mixed with the smell of sweet wine spraying in his ears.

"I'll tell you a secret!" She burped as she spoke, and then continued: "I am born again, I married the prince in the last life, and I did everything I could to help him, but in the end I did not die well. So in this life, I will definitely let what he thinks in his heart come to naught. He's a bastard, he's a bastard! ”

Listening to the drunken words of the woman next to him, he sighed, and was about to say something, when he saw Lin Zhuohua lying on the table asleep, even if he fell asleep, he was still scolding the bastard in his mouth.

A touch of helplessness flashed in Li Zeyi's eyes, he got up and picked up the person and walked into the inner room, and gently put the person on the bed.

Looking at the little girl who was sleeping very deeply, he bent down and dropped a kiss on her forehead, and whispered, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you achieve your wish." It won't be long before the crown prince will be deposed. ”

His plan has already begun to be implemented, and it should be very effective to see results. After folding the quilt for her, he left without looking back.

When Lin Zhuohua woke up, her head still hurt a little. Looking at the dim room, there was no longer Li Zeyi's figure at this time, and I couldn't help but feel a little lost in my heart.

She got up and leaned back on the soft pillow, her mind recalling what she had said to him before she got drunk. Then he covered his head and wailed in his heart.

How did you tell him about your rebirth!

But will Li Zeyi's performance be too calm? Could it be that he had already guessed that he was also born again?

Thinking of her difference from her previous life, she smiled with relief, how could someone as smart as him not guess? I haven't told her, I'm afraid I'm waiting for her to speak first.

There is nothing in her heart that Li Zeyi hides from him the displeasure of being reborn, everyone has their own secrets. For example, if she hadn't drunk too much, she would never have told him this secret.

Yesterday, somehow, I told him the secret that was pressed in my heart with the strength of that wine. But she didn't regret it, because he deserved this trust.

The curtain in the inner room was lifted, and Bai Yu and several maids walked in. 20

"Miss, you're awake." Bai Yu ran over and helped her out of bed: "Prince Yi is really like a god, he said that Miss will wake up at about this hour, and you really woke up." ”

Hongzhu came over with a bowl of decanting soup and said with a smile: "Yes, this decanting soup is just right, Miss drink it while it's hot." ”

Lin Zhuohua took the decanting soup, pinched his nose and drank it all in one gulp. She didn't like the taste of the decanting soup very much, it was really not very tasty.

"Miss, there is porridge simmering on the stove outside, and Prince Yi personally boiled it for you. Originally, the prince wanted to wait for you to wake up, but it seemed that he was asked to leave because of something important. ”

Lin Zhuohua took Bai Yu's hand and walked out of the inner room, and sure enough, he saw a simmering casserole. A faint fragrance wafted out from inside, and the stomach screamed a few times.

The warm hot porridge went down to her stomach, and her stomach instantly became much more comfortable.

"Miss, the child has been sent away. As you commanded, I gave the family a great deal of silver, so that they could raise their children in peace. ”

Lin Zhuohua nodded, she had done everything she could for that child. I just hope that he will not know what his biological mother did in his life, and only grow up happily.

It has been more than half a month since Lin Zhuohua and the ceremony, but the people in Beijing will still talk about this grand ceremony from time to time.

Lin Zhuohua sat in the wing room on the second floor of Taozhuo Building, and Luo Yusheng sat under her. Watch as she props her chin on one hand and looks lazily at the street below.

"Miss, now the factory has started to work. The things in the rouge shop can be mass-produced, is the price also changed? ”

"Well, but the skin cream and the newly made Jade Beauty Water are still sold in limited quantities, which is the signature of our rouge shop."

After speaking, she looked at Li Zeyi and asked, "How are those orphans studying now?" ”

"They worked very hard, and now the gentlemen all say that in about half a year, they will have nothing to teach. The seven children, in particular, have now learned everything that the gentlemen have taught. This time, I also wanted to ask the young lady if she would continue to ask the gentleman next to her to teach. ”

"No, just train what they are best at. When they were old enough to be a teacher, everyone gave them some entanglements, let them travel to various countries, and record the customs and customs of different regions, as well as what they saw and heard. Every once in a while, send it to me. ”

Luo Yusheng didn't quite understand what she was doing this for, but he didn't plan to ask more, he just did what she asked him to do.

"Well, I'll watch the arrangement. In addition, in addition to Weiru in the medical building, the little girl named Huya who was doing chores in the back also had problems, and she should also be from the medical valley. ”

When it came to the Medical Valley, Lin Zhuohua was a little puzzled, they didn't make any moves for a long time. It seems that after something happened to the valley lord of the medical valley last time, they quieted down and never came to trouble her again.

It's a little strange, did they give up on targeting the hospital?

"What's wrong with Huya and Weiruo?"

Luo Yusheng pondered for a moment and said, "That Huya seems to have received a letter from Yigu, and then yesterday she told the shopkeeper that she wanted to quit this job. The shopkeeper didn't dare to agree immediately, but asked her to think about it again, and after appeasing the other party, she came to me to confess. ”

"You ask the shopkeeper to agree to Huya's resignation, and then send someone to follow her to see what the situation is in the medical valley."

She naturally hoped that the people of the Medical Valley would give up targeting the Medical Building, so that they could go all out to deal with the prince, otherwise she would have to be distracted and interfere with the Lord of the Medical Valley.

"Okay." Luo Yusheng nodded, and then said roughly the income and support of several shops during this time.

"There seems to be a move on the prince's side against Prince Yi."

Lin Zhuohua held the teacup in his hand and sneered: "A few days ago, the imperial commander of the forbidden army and the imperial forest army were handed over to Prince Yi, and he naturally couldn't do it anymore. ”

It's just that I don't know what step he will take, and now the emperor attaches more and more importance to Li Zeyi. Even on many things, he will listen to his opinion.

And Li Zeyi no longer hides his brilliance, and now he can win the support of many neutral ministers in the court. However, he is also quite difficult now, and the crown prince and the eldest prince seem to have teamed up to deal with him.

She sighed faintly, and then got up: "What I explained, you can do it as soon as possible." ”

Luo Yusheng nodded, and then followed Lin Zhuohua out of Taozhuo Tower.

East Palace

The prince is now gloomy, and he no longer has the warmth and warmth of the past. These days, he and Li Zeyi have torn their faces in the court.

But every time his father was on Li Zeyi's side, the previous high reward was not enough, and now he handed over the forbidden army and the royal forest army to him, how could he sit back again.

Moreover, he placed a message with eyeliner beside his father, his good father had the idea of abolishing the crown prince and wanted to pass the throne to Li Zeyi, how could he agree.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, the prince glanced at the silent staff sitting below, a trace of irritability flashed in his eyes, and his voice was a little colder.

"All of you go down, Wu Tuo stays."

Hearing this, several staff members immediately stood up and saluted, and then hurriedly retreated. After leaving the prince's courtyard, a few people dared to whisper a few words.

"Since King Yi became Prince Yi and held the military power, the crown prince has been in chaos."

"Yes, look at the things you did, it didn't make the emperor more and more disgusted."

"Alas, in the past, the prince could still consult with us, but now he is becoming more and more authoritarian, and he can't listen to the advice of others."

can become the staff of the East Palace, they are not stupid, and now seeing that the prince was forced to be like this by Prince Yi, everyone tacitly agrees that if it continues like this, I am afraid that the prince's position will not be guaranteed.

They were so angry that they didn't say anything and dispersed.

Only Wu Tuo was left on the prince's side, and he looked at the person standing there quietly, and said in a deep voice.

"Do you Gu clan have any secret methods to control a person?"

Hearing this, Wu Tuo raised his head and looked at the prince, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, the Soul Control Gu can control a person's heart and soul. The person who is controlled only obeys the words of the controller, but this soul control Gu is very troublesome to refine. Moreover, this secret method is only available to the Elders in the Gu Council, and others are not qualified to learn it. However, there is also a kind of Ecstasy Gu that can also control people. ”

"What's the difference between that Ecstasy Gu and Soul Control Gu?"

"Ecstasy Gu is a male and female Gu, men take male Gu, and women take female Gu. After that, the man will fall in love with the woman and be obedient to her. As long as it is her, the other party will agree unconditionally. ”

The prince's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "Is this Ecstasy Gu easy to refine?" How long will it take? ”

"It takes two months, and there are a few things to prepare."

"It doesn't matter, as long as it can be successfully refined."

His eyes narrowed, the corners of his mouth raised. It seems that what he prepared in advance needs to be used.

Wu Tuo didn't ask much, only nodded and wrote down the things he needed and handed them to the prince to send someone to do.

"After the things are complete, Wu will refine them immediately."

With that, he turned and left the study.

The crown prince immediately called Huang Zhong in, and then asked him to prepare what Wu Tuo wanted.

The corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and when his plan succeeded this time, it would be Li Zeyi's death. A hint of murderous intent flashed in his slender eyes, he should have dealt with him early.

Prince Yi's mansion Li Zeyi finished reading the letter in his hand, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a relieved smile. It was really the right decision for him to send someone to the Gu Clan in Southern Xinjiang, and it brought him such a big surprise.

"Master, the Holy Maiden has agreed to cooperate with us. She said that she would come in person to assist you. ”

Li Zeyi nodded, and then continued: "Let the Dark Pavilion tell them all the news of Jing Gongzi they want, so that they don't dare to fight the idea of the medical building again." ”
