Chapter 643: Shocking Changes
Lu Ju, who was changing mattresses with Mo Lan, secretly glanced at the hands held by the princess and the marquis, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl.
It seems that the Hou Ye and the princess are very affectionate, and the husband and wife are harmonious, which is really a blessing for everyone.
Facts have proved that Xiao Yao's level of appreciation is very good, and the jewelry he selected matches the clothes and hair buns of today's pearls very well.
Mama Cen had already set up breakfast on the round table, all of which were Gu Fanghua and Xiao Yao's favorite meals, and there was a full table.
Xiao Yao helped Gu Fanghua to come over and sit down, and put the bird's nest porridge in front of her. He reached out and grabbed a crab roe soup dumpling for her, and put it on the plate in front of her to pick it up to dissipate the heat.
"Eat more, I'm afraid I'm hungry, right?"
Gu Fanghua was really hungry, and when she got up in the morning to take a bath, she almost fainted in the bathtub, but fortunately, Xiao Yao was waiting by her side and hugged her out.
At this time, he didn't bother to care about Xiao Yaoxian's hospitality, and went straight to eat.
Xiao Yao looked at Gu Fanghua with a smile, but the chopsticks in his hand didn't stop. The two worked together to sweep most of the breakfast on the table, and then they both put down their chopsticks in satisfaction.
Gu Fanghua was full of food and drink, and now she is also in the mood to joke.
"I heard that a bride who marries into an ordinary family has to get up in the morning to prepare breakfast for her in-laws, and then she has to serve the elders. After eating some leftovers, it is really miserable to have to be made rules. Master Hou, fortunately, there are no elders in your mansion. ”
In today's Yingyi Marquis's mansion, there are not only no elders, but also no peers.
The Xiao family is already thin, and there is only one person in the previous generation of Weiyuan Marquis Xiao Jing. And although he has four sons, there are only two left.
Xiao Lei wants to guard the Shanhaiguan, so naturally he can't move around casually, so in the huge Yingyi Marquis Mansion, there are only two masters, Xiao Yao and Mingzhu.
Xiao Yao also rinsed his mouth, wiped the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Whose daughters are these are raised by the family in the palm of their hands." So when she married into her mother-in-law's family, in order to wear off her squeamishness, the people of her mother-in-law's family would set rules for her, which meant getting off the horse. ”
"It seems that this is the benefit of marrying you, at least no one has asked me to make rules. Then let's go to the palace, although it's late, but we have to go. ”
Gu Fanghua said and got up with a smile, and immediately there was a touch of indescribable pain on his body.
Xiao Yao looked at Gu Fanghua's expression and knew that she was still unwell. got up and hugged Gu Fanghua, and apologized in a whisper: "I'm sorry for hurting you." ”
Gu Fanghua's eyes were like spring water, and she glanced at Xiao Yao. It's like an accusation, and it's a bit like being coquettish.
Xiao Yao simply picked her up by the waist and said with a smile: "Let's go!" I'll carry you out, you still have some strength and go into the palace to thank you. ”
Although the two are already husband and wife, Xiao Yao is still a bit shocking when he holds Gu Fanghua in his arms and walks in the mansion in broad daylight.
Mama Cen watched the two walk away in love, and folded her hands and bowed to the sky: "Thank you Buddha for bless the princess to find a lover and love the white head." ”
When Xiao Yao carried Gu Fanghua into the carriage, Gu Fanghua thought that he could ride a horse, but he didn't expect him to get into the carriage as well.
Xiao Yao got into the carriage, and Lu Ju and the others couldn't come up again, so they had to take the next carriage.
At this time, Gu Fanghua was a little uneasy, and whispered: "We entered the palace so late, will the Queen Mother's grandmother blame us?" ”
"Don't worry, we are so affectionate, the Queen Mother's grandmother will only be happy, how can you blame us?"
Sitting in the carriage, Xiao Yao just held Gu Fanghua's hand honestly with one hand, and held her shoulder with the other, and did not move his hands and feet.
Gu Fanghua also felt that what Xiao Yao said was right. But when he entered the palace so late, everyone knew about it, and they would definitely laugh at themselves.
"I hope there is no one else in the palace, I don't want to be laughed at by them."
Xiao Yao lowered his head to look at Gu Fanghua, and saw that her whole person was radiant, like a peony that had been carefully cared for, and finally bloomed its beautiful petals.
A little shaky, a little proud and a little worried.
Proudly, it was he who personally faded Gu Fanghua's girlish beauty and dyed her with this layer of bright color. What worries him is that Gu Fanghua is beautiful now, and he is really afraid of being looked at by others.
Just as Xiao Yao was still imagining in the sweet burden, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside the window.
The sound of horses' hooves is crisp, not like the round horses' hooves commonly used in the capital, and the sound of horses' hooves is dull. The sound it makes is like the crisp sound of the triangular horseshoe commonly used in Yumen Pass.
Xiao Yao's heart moved, he raised his hand and lifted the window to look, only to see the man on horseback, with an arrow stuck behind him, which was the dress of the herald.
Looking at this person's hurried appearance, could it be that there was an urgent report at the border gate?
"Yao, what are you looking at?"
Xiao Yao put down the curtain of the car, did not hide it, and said to Gu Fanghua: "I saw a horse just now, it seems to be a herald, and I don't know which border pass has an accident again." ”
Gu Fanghua has experienced the bloody battle of Shanhaiguan, so she is also very sensitive and nervous about the war.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine."
Although Xiao Yao comforted Gu Fanghua, he had an ominous premonition in his heart.
He secretly calculated that the battle of Shanhaiguan would greatly damage the vitality of the Mongol and Jurchen ethnic groups. Not to mention that it has only been a few years, even within ten years, they are not able to make a comeback.
And the Zhong family is in Yanmen Pass, and it is a cold winter, so it should be safe and sound.
Could it be that something happened to Yumen Pass? But although Zhang Huai is a little pedantic, the Yumen Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, how can the Liao people attack it.
Xiao Yao's face was as usual, and she didn't mention the matter of the border at all, Gu Fanghua didn't feel Xiao Yao's anxiety, her mind was on making up for sleep.
The carriage drove unhurriedly, and as soon as he arrived at the palace gate, he heard that something had happened in the early dynasty.
It turned out that just after the end of the early dynasty, the heralds rushed to the Qianqing Palace. The battle report of the Liao people attacking Yumen Pass, burning, killing and looting, and then withdrawing was presented to Emperor Hongzheng.
Emperor Hongzheng Long Yan was furious, and immediately sent Xiao Yao to the palace.
Yan Rongling, who was standing on the stairs, also looked angry, but this was just a superficial phenomenon, and only he understood the whole story.
It seems that the people he sent out succeeded after all, but they were a day late and couldn't arrive yesterday.
But Yan Rongling didn't care anymore, now he just wanted Xiao Yao to die.
Here, Xiao Yao and Gu Fanghua had just entered the palace, and before they reached Cining Palace, Xiao Yao was summoned away by Emperor Hong Zheng.
Mama Fang took the anxious Gu Fanghua back to Cining Palace. Gu Fanghua saw Empress Dowager Zhong and hurriedly asked, "Grandmother, what's the matter?" Didn't Uncle Emperor want Xiao Yao to accompany me for a month? ”
"Mingzhu, don't worry, the person who heard the news will come back soon, and the mourning family is not clear for the time being."
As he spoke, a small chamberlain walked in quickly. He said: "Back to the Queen Mother, Shanhaiguan was attacked!" ”
