Chapter 4: The Strange Newlywed
Ye Ling didn't have the heart to check the dowry list at this moment, her mind was now full of Yan Yuxian's cause of death.
In this way, Ye Ling stayed for a moment with messy thoughts.
Then she walked out of the boudoir and saw that the guards were hurriedly arranging red silk and red lanterns, and the whole scene was full of joy.
But Ye Ling didn't have the slightest joy on his face, turned around and returned to the room, and sat in front of the mirror all morning.
"Miss, it's time to put on makeup, otherwise the sedan chair will come to the door later, but it will be too late." Xi Niang walked into Ye Lingyi's boudoir and said to Ye Lingyi happily.
But Ye Lingyi still didn't respond, just reached out and stroked his black hair.
Seeing that Ye Ling seemed to have lost her soul, Xi Niang couldn't help but ask Yunyin.
"Yunyin girl, what's wrong with your young lady?"
Yun Yin glanced left and right, and replied in a low voice: "Mama Shen won't tell you that Miss Yan has been like this since she heard about Miss Yan's death. ”
It wasn't until the sedan chair greeted the door that Ye Lingyi had a hint of expression.
She slowly stood up and was about to walk out, but Zhuyin walked in at this time, leaned over and saluted and said loudly: "Slave and maid, congratulations, Miss Hexi, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has come to greet her in person, and the prime minister asks Miss to go out quickly." ”
When Ye Ling heard this, sadness flashed in his eyes, and he just smiled bitterly, "He still came after all." ”
She was helped out of the mansion by Shen Mama and Yunyin, and as soon as she walked out of the mansion gate, she heard heavy footsteps walking towards her.
With the help of the wind-blown hijab, she finally saw clearly. Yan Chi was wearing a red wedding dress with a dragon and a phoenix, his black hair was tied up high with a crown, and the corners of his lips were smiling.
When he walked to her side, Yan Chi smiled and stretched out his hand to her, "Today you will be the bride of this king, do you wish?" ”
For some reason, Ye Lingyi always felt that his smile had a hint of sarcasm, but she still put her hand in his palm.
But she felt that there was no trace of warmth in his palm, but the hand he was holding was a little inexplicably painful.
After Yan Chi led her into the sedan chair, he made a gesture to Ye Nantian, and stepped on the horse and left.
Obviously, the General's Mansion is not very far from the Regent's Mansion, but after walking for more than an hour, it is still on the road.
Ye Ling suddenly felt that something was wrong, she immediately lifted her hijab slightly, lifted the carriage curtain and looked out.
The surrounding street scene was both familiar and unfamiliar, and she was puzzled and immediately asked the dowry girl.
"Zhuqing, do you know where this is?"
Zhu Qing shook her head, and then she turned to the other side, lifted the curtain on the other side and asked Yunyin.
"Yunyin, do you know where we're going now?"
Yun Yin looked around, and then replied affirmatively: "If you go back to Miss, it seems that you are on the way to the Hou Mansion." ”
As soon as Yunyin's voice fell, the sedan chair stopped.
Ye Ling lifted the curtain a little and saw that the Hou Mansion was also dressed in red, as if there was some happy event.
Didn't Yan Yuxian of the Hou Mansion just pass away, how could he act like this.
Just when Ye Ling was puzzled, he saw a man come out, who was wearing a brown robe, without a trace of expression on his face, looking solemn.
The man was followed by a woman in a long pink and white dress, about thirty years old, but still charming. A red and white begonia was pinned to the bun, and he was gently wiping his tears with a handkerchief at the moment.
The two Ye Lingyi recognized them, and they were Hou Ye Yan Qili and Hou Ye's wife Shen Yinyin.
I saw Yan Qili gently hand over a red brocade box to Yan Chi's hand, and Yan Chi bowed deeply to Yan Qili.
Seeing this scene, Ye Lingyi couldn't help but ask Yunyin next to the sedan chair.
"Yunyin, what is this for?"
Yun Yin, who could see it clearly, didn't know how to tell Ye Ling for a while, opened his lips, and only let out a sound of anger.
Ye Lingyi, who was as smart as her, saw that Yunyin wanted to speak and stopped, so she knew that it was difficult to talk about it, so she immediately said: "Say it, don't worry about me." ”
Yun Yin hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Miss, that seems to be Miss Yan Yuxian's clothes." said that she was accepted as a side concubine, and she passed the door with Miss today. ”
Hearing the news, Ye Ling suddenly lowered the curtain of the car, and his heart was mixed.
When he arrived at the Xitang of the Regent's Mansion, Ye Lingyi was carried by the bride like a marionette to worship the hall.
"Worship heaven and earth." The ceremonial officer looked at Ye Lingyi and Yan Chi and shouted weakly.
And the moment Ye Ling lowered his head, he clearly felt Yan Chi's fierce murderous aura, as well as his burning eyes when he lowered his head.
"Two worship the high hall."
"Husband and wife worship each other."
The ceremonial officer also seemed to sense Yan Chi's impatience and sped up the speed of singing.
"Send it to the cave."
These three worships seemed to have exhausted all of Ye Lingyi's strength, and she was helped back to the new house like a walking corpse.
Not long after returning to the new house, Ye Ling lifted the hijab. Hungry, she began to eat the snacks on the table, but just when she was able to eat hard.
Suddenly, a burst of music came over and entered Ye Lingyi's ears.
The music was sometimes low, sometimes tactful, like weeping. It sounds like the joy of getting married, and like the joy of a funeral.
After listening for a while, Ye Lingyi finally couldn't help but walk out of the door.
Along the way, the maid ring and the guards all turned a blind eye to her, the bride in a wedding dress, neither hindering nor saluting.
Closer, closer and closer to the music.
Ye Lingyi finally found the source of the voice, which was from the ancestral hall of the Regent's Mansion.
She hid behind a pile of wooden sticks in the utility room, and finally saw clearly that on the high platform was the dress that Yan Yuxian saw her wearing that day.
And Yan Chi was leaning back to his hands and watching the two monks chanting there, looking intently at the clothes on the high platform.
His eyes were affectionate and sad, and it was such a scene that really burned Ye Lingyi's eyes.
At the moment when she shook her head, she touched the pile of wooden sticks, and the sticks all rolled down with a thumping sound.
Such a sound naturally alarmed Yan Chi, who had excellent ear power in the ancestral hall, and then a roar came.
"Whoever is there, don't be sneaky, come out to this king."
Ye Lingyi took advantage of Yan Chi before he could catch up, and staggered back to the happy room in hiding.
In the ancestral hall, a guard walked in to report to Yan Chi.
"Lord Wang, it has been found out, and the person who is hiding behind the utility room is the princess." Yan Chi frowned, thoughtful.
The guard wanted to say something, but seeing Yan Chi's expression, he swallowed the words that came to his mouth again.
Ye Lingyi, who returned to the happy room, leaned on the bed frame with messy thoughts.
She always felt that Yan Chi knew that she was in the utility room, and whether the ancestral hall was a scene or a show, or was it real.
Why did Yan Yuxian say that she would fulfill her, but committed suicide a day later. But even if she committed suicide, why did Yan Qili let people burn down the Changyin Pavilion where Yan Yuxian lived, and where did her maid ring go.
