Chapter 10: The Two Brides
"Lingzhi...!" Tang Wanwan shouted twice in succession, and reached out to pull her clothes.
"Oh, Miss...!"
"What are these people talking about, how can there be two brides. Could it be...?"
As soon as Lingzhi wanted to tell her, she heard Gu Zichun shout angrily: "What's going on, can the old prince give an explanation? If you look down on my sister-in-law, I will take her away, and I can't let her be humiliated like you!"
"Gu Gongzi, please be calm and don't be impatient, this king will definitely give you an explanation for this matter. ”
The old prince coughed a few times, and his eldest grandson, An Zheyun, hurriedly stepped forward and patted him on the back.
An Zheyu also wanted to step forward, but his grandfather didn't pay attention to him. He seemed to be angry with him, and his cough became heavier and heavier.
He had no choice but to give up, and at the moment he had mixed feelings in his heart.
Previously, An Zheyu's mother, Princess Anding, and her eldest son An Zheyun received a holy decree, to the effect that the princess's youngest son was married, and they should come forward as elders to congratulate them, so they were let go back to King An's mansion on the eve of the wedding, but King Anding continued to guard the frontier and failed to come to reunite.
The old prince took the tea handed over by his daughter-in-law: "I'm fine... Ahem..."
He looked much older. Stabilizing his body and breaking away from An Zheyun's support, he said slowly: "This king received the will of the saint yesterday, and in order to reward the merits of my Anwangfu, the saint specially gave Li Wanqing, the daughter of Li Ge, the secretary of the military department, as the princess of my Anwangfu. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar... This is the first time in ancient and modern times to marry two wives at the same time!
Besides, the emperor didn't assign a position for them, if they were to be equals, they would have to have a title!
Gu Zichun is not happy, he can't watch his sister-in-law being humiliated, all he can do is take her away!
pulled Tang Wanwan and said to An Zheyu: "Since the son of the world has a good match, then I will take the sister first." ”
"Stop! This is the emperor's marriage, how dare you disobey!"
A shrill voice sounded, and someone like a eunuch came out of the team to send off relatives.
I saw that he looked arrogant, obviously not taking others seriously.
"The emperor is insulting!"
"Presumptuous... Come on, take down this unholy person for our family!"
"My father-in-law is angry! This is my honored guest of Anwang's Mansion, he is also worried about his sister and said the wrong thing in a hurry, the saint has always been benevolent, I think I will not blame, and I ask my father-in-law to raise his noble hand, so as not to miss the wedding time. ”
It was Princess Anding who spoke, and I saw that she was very elegant and calm.
"Now that the princess has opened her mouth, then our family is not good to worry about, come, welcome the princess into the mansion. ”
"Wait!"
Seeing that the team had already helped the bride get off the sedan chair and handed it over to An Zheyu, the old prince was unhappy: "Since it is the emperor who promised to marry, then my An Wangfu must be treated equally, don't let people misunderstand the holy will, father-in-law, right?"
Looking at the old prince's fierce eyes, the eunuch felt a little inexplicably flustered, so he hurriedly nodded yes.
Thinking about how surprised the old prince was back then, if it weren't for this, how could the emperor be so jealous of King An's Mansion!
Tang Wanwan doesn't care, anyway, he doesn't really want to marry, it's not just for the sake of his parents.
Gu Zichun was temporarily endured by her words, but he An Zheyu didn't want to live well in the future!
No, as soon as the hour comes, a bridegroom will lead the two brides to worship at the same time, but the three of them have their own hearts and minds.
Everyone said that this was an ancient wonder, and they were even more proud of the "glory" of the Anwang Mansion, so after that, there was also a trend in the city of a husband marrying two wives, and this matter also made him happy when it reached the ears of the emperor.
How can he be displeased, this is what he came up with, and immediately the people followed suit, "It seems that I am really what everyone wants!" he thought beautifully, of course, this is a later story.
。。。。。。。。。。
It was getting dark, but the front hall was still very lively and noisy.
Tang Wanwan didn't know this, she would think, and she would go straight down and prepare to sleep beautifully.
"Eh, Miss can't!" Lingzhi hurriedly pulled her back: "Miss, this is not in accordance with the rules." ”
"Oh, what are the rules, I'm tired and falling apart after a day's journey, I haven't eaten, I'm starving to death, and now you don't want to sleep. Tang Wanwan glanced at her after speaking, and wanted to fall down again.
"Miss... It's really not good, I'll be unhappy when the prince comes in and sees it. ”
"Whatever, it's best if he's not happy. Eh, Lingzhi, you say..."Tang Wanwan suddenly woke up and fell asleep, and asked Lingzhi with great interest: "What does that son look like, handsome or not?"
"Didn't Miss see it herself?"
"I've seen it?"
"That's right, isn't it the groom who rode a big horse outside the city gate before!" Lingzhi thought about the previous scene, a little indignant.
"Ah, it's him!"
"Yes. ”
"It's pretty handsome, then I don't lose it, alas, but I don't want the second maid to be a husband, even if he only marries me, I still have to leave. ”
"Let's go... Where are you going?"
Tang Wanwan didn't hold back, after all, her plan tomorrow would be indispensable for Lingzhi to help.
"Your miss, I'm going to run away, are you going to go with me?"
"Runaway?ah, that can't be done, the old lady will be anxious when she knows. ”
"You have seen it, your young lady and I have just married in, and they have given me such a big meeting gift. You're not blind, aren't you, can't you see the affection of those two? Why should I be an eyesore in the middle......
Thinking that his big light bulb would flicker in front of others in the future, Tang Wanwan felt very embarrassed.
"This ......"
"Also, that princess was appointed by the emperor, if I live in this mansion, wouldn't I have to look at her face every day and beg for a living under her hands?
Seeing that Lingzhi was a little shaken, she continued to add: "In that case, I... I might as well be dead!"
Pretending to wipe her tears, she glanced at Lingzhi with her spare eyes, and when she saw that she was hesitant, she increased her voice.
Sure enough, Lingzhi hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her: "Miss, Lingzhi has decided, I am willing to run away with Miss!"
"Really?"
"Hmm!" Lingzhi nodded heavily.
The lord and the lady have told her to take care of the young lady and protect the young lady, and she must not let her be wronged in the palace, and now the prince has married someone else, and the other party is still a powerful lord, if the old lady knows, I am afraid that she will also take the young lady, right?
Thinking of it this way, she hurriedly ran to get busy.
"What are you doing?"
"Miss, Lingzhi is sorting out valuable things, we must spend money when we escape, and the clothes and things are too conspicuous, so it's better to bring something that can be exchanged for money." ”
For more than a month, Lingzhi has been with her own lady for more than a month, and Lingzhi likes the character of her master very much.
She never treated her like a real subordinate, and she didn't even have to call herself a "slave" in front of her.
When she was dying, it was her wife who gave her a second life, and later it was the young lady who gave her the dignity of being a human being, so she couldn't see her young lady being wronged.
If Tang Wanwan knew what she was thinking at this time, he would definitely be moved. It's just that she will also find it funny, and others have misunderstood her.
In fact, she wanted to run away to travel the world, and then to find the stone that allowed her to wear here, but these things are not yet known to others.
Sure enough, An Zheyu didn't come to look at her. In fact, she still wants to experience the whole process of marriage in ancient times, and it seems that she can only become a regret......
On second thought, it was good, at least no one bothered her to pack her things.
No, the master and servant were busy for a while, and they knew that they would not be able to slip away from the guards tonight, and when everything was taken care of, after the two of them ate something, they thought about sleeping beautifully.
But......
"Bang bang bang...!"
Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.
"Who, come knocking at the door at this time!"
Tang Wanwan complained, but his hands were not idle, and he immediately hid all the things he had packed earlier into the cabinet.
"Can Concubine Gu Shifei sleep?"
It was a woman's voice.
She motioned for Lingzhi to go outside and open the door, and a maid-like person walked in, with a jade bowl in the tray in his hand, and the heat was steaming inside.
She didn't pay attention to Lingzhi, and came straight to the inside, Lingzhi was not a vegetarian, and immediately blocked her way.
The maid gave her a blank look, and was ready to move on. Lingzhi blocked it again and said to her angrily: Our young lady has already slept. ”
"Oh? Knowing that the prince was resting at our princess's place, Concubine Gu Shifei thought about it and fell asleep so early. ”
The maid deliberately said loudly to Tang Wanwan's bedroom, and also added her maiden family name in front of the princess, thinking that it was to suppress her.
"Can you be quieter, people who don't know think whose dog is barking? "Lingzhi refuses to show weakness.
"You...!" The maid didn't look like a fuel-efficient lamp, and quickly adjusted her mentality, and continued: "This is our princess's reward to your family's Gu princess, it's better to drink and sleep after a long night of staying alone in the empty room, hehehe...!"
The maid put the tray on the table, and went out of the room with a wicked smile, not forgetting to close the door as she left.
"Huh, disgusting!"
"Alright, don't be disgusting, bring it in and I'll see. ”
"Miss, you don't really want to drink, do you?"
Lingzhi brought the bowl of black rumbling soup to his young lady, and Tang Wanwan leaned his nose over and sniffed: "Well, it's non-toxic." ”
"That's fine. Lingzhi finally put his mind at ease, for fear that this was a bowl of poison that would kill the young lady.
"What's good, it's non-toxic, but drinking it will still make me sleep until noon tomorrow. ”
"Ah, this is to make the young lady make a fool of herself in front of the old prince and Princess Anding!"
"You're right, a new daughter-in-law actually slept until three o'clock in the morning, and she couldn't even catch up with the greetings, isn't that just a fool's errand. ”
Tang Wanwan said it lightly, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.
"Then the young lady still don't drink it. ”
"It's okay, if I don't drink it, will you still have a chance to take it out and pour it out? There must be people squatting outside, if I'm not sure if I drink it, it should make them feel so boring. ”
"Then I'll drink it for Miss!"
"Gollum"
Before she finished speaking, Tang Wanwan had already drunk a large bowl of soup and medicine.
"Miss...!"
"It's okay, your young lady and I have been invincible since I was a child, and I can't help this little trick, and watch me perform a play for them, I'm worried that I won't have a chance to go out of the house......"
asked Lingzhi to take the empty bowl out, and someone outside really came to pick it up.
In the dead of night, Lingzhi flew onto the highest roof of the palace, and after basically finding out the terrain of the entire palace, he quietly sneaked back to his lady's room.
All this seems to be unaware, but I don't want to be seen by one person: "Alas, it seems that when you come out to drink, you can also bump into a woman going to the house to reveal the tiles, what a miracle!"
At this time, Tang Wanwan already had his own calculations in his heart, and he still slept soundly this night.
