Chapter 36: The Great Wedding (2)
In the Panying Palace, people come and go, and the door is like a city. Childeji sat on a high seat and looked triumphantly at the passing guests. They brought congratulatory gifts one after another, wanting to use this to tie up Gongzi's rule.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please come into the Banying Palace and have a cup of tea!"
Gongzi Zhi stood up, waved his sleeves, and invited them all into the Banying Palace. At this moment, Gongzizhi felt that he was the new emperor of Dongyan.
"Oh, Your Highness, you are really getting more and more like Your Majesty back then......"
"Yes, yes, His Royal Highness deserves to be the eldest son of Dongyan!"
There are countless words to curry favor with Childe, all kinds of things. Childeji closed his eyes and listened to their words against his will.
"Your Excellency has won the award, this son is just a son of his father, where can he compare to his father-"
When Gongzi had enjoyed enough, he began to pretend to be humble.
"Your Highness, you are not only talented, but also really humble and polite! This is really the blessing of my Dongyan, the blessing of Dongyan! Hahaha......"
Everyone complimented again, and Gongzizhi's words of "humility" were drowned in this piece of praise that went against his will......
"But Your Highness, your status is so noble, but you are in love with a subordinate next to the Third Highness, you are really dedicated!"
Although this sentence is also a flattering word, it also speaks to the psychology of the guests. Everyone is also wondering, why did Gongzi Zhi marry such an ordinary woman?
"I won't tell you anything, although this woman is a subordinate next to the third brother, she is really beautiful and moving!"
Faced with the questions of the guests, Childe said nonsense casually.
If it weren't for the Flower Order, what would you be Ni Wuyin, and you would be worthy of marrying this son? Dream on!
"Ouch, I know that Mrs. Luo, the daughter of Mrs. Luo, the Second Highness, is beautiful and pure, but I don't know that the eldest lady is even better than Mrs. Luo! Your Highness is really a good eye! β
After listening to Gongzizhi's words, the guests flattered Ni Wuyin's beauty one after another.
These guests had only heard Gongzi Zhi say this, and they hadn't even seen Ni Wu's appearance, but her appearance was depicted vividly.
It's amazing.
A month later, it was the day of the wedding of Gongzi Zhi and Ni Wuyin.
"Congratulations, congratulations......"
Everyone was busy saying hello to Emperor Yan and Empress Zhou, and they all ignored one thing.
Gongzi Yu was not present.
At this moment, Gongzi Yu was confined in Qinghua Palace.
"During the wedding of the eldest prince, Qinghua Palace is forbidden to the palace, and no one is allowed to enter or leave! If there is a violator, you will be killed! β
A decree locked the palace gate of Qinghua Palace.
"Your Highness, what should I do?" No one was allowed to enter, Fang Xian anxiously asked Gongzi Yu.
At this moment, what can Gongzi Yu do? blames only himself, he didn't make the decision to marry Ni Wuyin as soon as possible.
In the final analysis, Gongzi Yu's original intention was also to protect Ni Wuyin and keep her from the trouble of the Flower Order.
He still failed.
Gongzi Yu clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth, and said nothing. There seemed to be a fire burning in his eyes.
Could it be that you can only accept your fate?
Up and down the palace, singing and dancing are leveling, and the sheng flute is rising.
Emperor Yan sat on the seat, his expression was slightly heavy, and no one could see through what he was thinking. Zhou Hou sat elegantly next to Emperor Yan and looked at the guests with a smile.
"Oh, the second lady of the second highness was pure and moving, I don't know what this eldest lady looks like......"
Zhou Hou listened to it and replied with a smile: "Although this appearance is important, if the gold and jade are ruined on the outside, it will be in vain. β
Zhou Hou said, and glanced at Luo Qianling contemptuously. Luo Qianling gave Zhou Hou a roll of his eyes, and he didn't have the same knowledge as her.
"The auspicious time has come, and the newlyweds will enter the templeβ"
With the flattering shouts of the ceremonial officials, Gongzi Zhi and Ni Wuyin walked into the hall. When the guests saw it, they all nodded and were full of praise.
Emperor Yan saw it, but frowned. He asked, in a voice that could only be heard after a week, "Is this a neon sound?" β
It turned out that in order to be afraid that Ni Wuyin would do something that would make the royal family lose face in full view, Zhou Hou and Gongzizhi found a palace maid to replace Ni Wuyin.
Seeing Emperor Yan's suspicions, Empress Zhou explained with a smile: "Your Majesty, Lady Ni is unwell and has rested in the side hall of Banying Palace. But His Majesty has decreed that the marriage will be completed today, and the concubines will not delay the wedding. β
Emperor Yan listened to Zhou Hou's explanation, and then he was relieved.
Gongzizhi and the palace maid showed affection and love in front of the guests, and the guests were envious.
After the wedding, all the guests dispersed, and Gongzizhi walked with the palace maid to Emperor Yan and Empress Zhou.
As soon as Zhou Hou wanted to say something, Emperor Yan gave an order.
"Drag this palace maid out to the widow and beat her to death!"
When the palace maid heard this, she was shocked, and knelt down and kowtowed again and again to beg for mercy.
In order not to annoy Emperor Yan, Zhou Hou didn't say anything. Childeji has always been cruel, and naturally he will not intercede for her at this moment.
After the palace maid was beaten to death with a stick, Emperor Yan slowly spoke: "If you tanuki want to save the face of the royal family by changing the prince, you must consider everything thoroughly. β
"Yes, the concubine understands." Zhou Hou listened to it and promised again and again.
In this way, an innocent life became a victim of the royal struggle.
After Lan Qingyan participated in Gongzizhi's wedding, she could see it clearly. The so-called eldest lady is not neon silent at all. Gongzi Che had actually discovered this fact a long time ago.
"Your Highness, please think of a way to save Sister Wuyin!"
Listening to Lan Qingyan's request, Gongzi Che sighed.
"The three royal brothers were locked up in Qinghua Palace, and now that the big wedding has ended, maybe the forbidden palace of Qinghua Palace has also been lifted. After all, Lord Ni is a subordinate of the Three Princes, and this matter has to be discussed with the Three Princes. β
Although Lan Qingyan was worried about Ni Wuyin, she was still reluctant to participate in the conversation between Gongzi Che and Gongzi Yu's brothers.
"Then Your Highness will go to Qinghua Palace quickly, and Qingyan will go back first."
Gongzi Che nodded and immediately ran to Qinghua Palace.
After Gongzizhi sent Emperor Yan and Zhou away, he went to the side hall of Banying Palace.
Ni Wuyin was blindfolded and her hands were tied to a chair behind her back. Childeji swaggered in and slapped him three times coldly.
"Oh, Ni Wuyin, you still can't fight this son after all, right?"
Listening to Gongziji's words, Ni Wuyin smiled mockingly. "Some people are already digging their own graves, so why should I fight."
Childeji laughed slyly.
At this moment, Ni Wuyin was blindfolded, and he couldn't see Gongzizhi's cunning and sinister expression. But Gongzizhi's sly laughter reached Ni Wuyin's ears.
"Ni Wuyin, I'm not in a hurry about the flower order. Tonight, I'm going to put you on a good show! β
