Chapter 1: Giving Marriage and Giving Marriage
In the forty years of Chengde, Emperor Taishang Chan was located in the third prince Mu Yuancheng, and then returned to the hidden mountains and forests, and then Mu Yuancheng ascended the throne and changed his name to Wu'an.
In June of the first year of Wu'an, after ascending the throne, Emperor Mu Yuancheng of Wu'an set up a private guard, named Yinshiya, and ordered his younger brother Mu Yuanjing, the king of Linchuan, to take charge.
And issued a holy decree to marry Linchuan Wang Mu Yuanjing and Su Qingmo, the daughter of the Su family, the first wang family in the northwest, to marry at an auspicious time in September.
On September 30, the convoy that set out from the Linchuan palace in the capital to the Su family in Jincheng in the northwest to marry the princess of Linchuan entered Beijing, the city was full of red makeup, and the people who watched counted it, and the dowry that followed the convoy alone was enough to carry as much as 200 carries, which spread the entire street intermittently.
Su Qingmo in the sedan chair waited quietly for a long time, and saw a slender hand through the gap in the hijab, at this time the owner of that hand was sending the open palm to her, and then she heard a soft and gentle male voice, "The princess has worked hard, this king is here to pick you up and enter the door." ”
Su Qingmo hesitated for a moment, put the slightly cool hand into the other party's spread palm, and when she first put it on, her cool fingertips shrank for a moment, and then she was surrounded by a warm palm.
In the midst of singing and noise, she was dragged into the Linchuan Palace.
After worshipping heaven and earth, Su Qingmo sat peacefully in the new house, and only Mama Lin and the three maids were waiting in the room.
Mama Lin is an old man who has been with Mrs. Su for more than 30 years, and this time because Su Qingmo was not at ease about marrying Mrs. Su, she asked Mama Lin to enter Beijing with her, and then returned to the Su family in Jincheng after Su Qingmo gained a firm foothold in Linchuan Palace.
The three maids are Qingzhu, Qingrui, and Qinghe, the three of them have followed Su Qingmo's side since childhood, Qinghe is responsible for food, clothing, housing and transportation, Qingrui, has a lively temperament, and is good at dealing with people, so Su Qingmo let her mix in among the maids to inquire about some news that cannot be heard on the surface, as for Qingzhu, she is in charge of the Su family's team of dead soldiers who marry Su Qingmo.
Su Qingmo was about to speak, when he heard a greeting from outside the new house, "I've seen the prince." ”
Mu Yuanjing slowly walked into the new room, he glanced at the girl sitting on the bed, and then swept the people who were waiting to accompany the princess into Beijing.
"Lord, please pick a hijab for the princess."
The Xi Mama who followed behind Mu Yuanjing was the mother when the emperor and queen were married, and she took the wedding scale and gave it respectfully.
Mu Yuanjing took the scale with his right hand, gently picked off the hijab, and did not hesitate at all after a set of movements.
The red hijab fell silently, and the girl in front of her was as gorgeous as a peach and plum, and even Mu Yuanjing couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
The maids waiting in the new house looked at the newly baked hostess of the palace quietly.
Xi Mama didn't pay attention to the people who lost the rules in the new house, and coughed softly, "Lord, the ceremony has been completed, and the old slave will return to the palace." ”
"There's Mama Lao."
Mama Xi accepted Mu Yuanjing's thanks, and Fu Shen took three steps back and then turned around and left the new house.
Mu Yuanjing waved his hand and sent the other people in the room out, Mama Lin and the three maids glanced at Su Qingmo, and after getting the nod of the master, they exited the new house in turn.
Mu Yuanjing smiled, and did not take the faux pas of several people to heart, he picked up the wine on the table next to him, and handed one of the glasses to his newlywed wife, "If the princess is not good at drinking, just take a sip." ”
Su Qingmo took the wine glass, the two of them intertwined their arms, and before drinking, Su Qingmo looked at his hand holding the wine glass, and said with a light smile on the corner of his mouth: "Although the concubine is not good at drinking, this glass of wine cannot be drunk." ”
This can be regarded as the first sentence she said after entering the palace, her voice is not as charming as it seems on the outside, but Su Su is soft, which makes the listener feel a sense of comfort for no reason.
Su Qingmo lifted the extremely heavy phoenix crown on his head, "Can the prince let the concubine's maid in first." ”
Mu Yuanjing called, "Yong'an." ”
A quick-looking little guy ran in outside the door, and he walked in front of Mu Yuanjing with extremely fast steps, "Lord Wang." ”
"Let the princess's maid come in and serve."
Yong'an retreated, and after a while, Qingrui and Qinghe walked in.
Su Qingmo walked to the dressing table and sat down, raised his hand and pressed the scalp that was hurt by the phoenix crown, and his voice contained a trace of tiredness that was extremely difficult to detect, "This thing is pressing me down, take it off for me." ”
Qingrui and Qinghe were about to step forward but were stopped by Mu Yuanjing, "This king is here to take it for the princess." ”
Su Qingmo's eyes were a little surprised, but they didn't stop him from moving.
Mu Yuanjing came behind Su Qingmo, and his subordinates moved gently.
"Don't you ask, princess, why does this king do it himself?"
Su Qingmo lifted his spirits and asked obediently, "Why?" ”
Mu Yuanjing continued to slowly remove the remaining trinkets and said casually: "This king hopes that this is the only time in his life that this king will marry, so he naturally wants to do it himself." ”
The exhaustion in his body slipped away silently because of these words, and Su Qingmo lowered his eyelashes, covering the different colors flowing under his eyes, and did not make a sound.
After the scattered ornaments on her head were removed, she rubbed her somewhat stiff neck, and the corners of her lips curled slightly, "Doesn't the prince have to go to the front hall to entertain guests?" ”
Mu Yuanjing glanced at her, raised his hand and smoothed the messy hair on her cheeks, "You clean your face first, and then eat some food, this king will come back as soon as possible." ”
It wasn't until the man's figure was completely invisible that Su Qingmo put away the light smile on his lips, gently exhaled a breath of turbid breath in his chest, and commanded with exhaustion on his face: "Qinghe, get ready, I want to take a bath." ”
Hearing this, Qinghe took out a fragrant mountain from a small camphor wood box.
The mist in the soup room was shrouded, and the hot moisture stained the fragrance on the fragrant mountain and then flew into the air, making the entire soup room full of faint aroma.
Su Qingmo closed his eyes and leaned on the wall of the bucket relaxedly, letting Qingrui and Qinghe wipe their bodies, only the sound of water flowing could be heard in the room, Su Qingmo opened his mouth and asked softly, "Qinghe has something to say?" ”
Qingrui looked at Qinghe with a puzzled expression, Qinghe stopped what she was doing, "The slave looked at the prince when he just left, and she seemed to be angry. ”
Opening his eyes, Su Qingmo looked at the void in front of him, and his tone was a little careless, "You are too careful." ”
Qinghe still has something to say, but seeing that the master means that he doesn't want her to ask more, he can only swallow the words that have come to his mouth after thinking about it.
Su Qingmo was silent for a long time, and only said an ambiguous word, "Vote for me with a peach, and repay it with Qiong Yao, it's a very simple truth." ”
After finishing speaking, Su Qingmofu closed his eyes again, Qingrui and Qinghe did not speak again, and after a while, a figure on the roof of Tang Mu's house left quietly and quickly.
After the figure left, Qingzhu came out of the shadows and whispered in Su Qingmo's ear: "The person has left." ”
In the front hall of the clinical palace, Mu Yuanjing, who was still entertaining, was invited by Yongan to no one's place, and Yongan said in a low voice: "Lord, the hidden guard is back." ”
Mu Yuanjing's face was unwavering, "What did you say?" ”
Yongan said exactly what the hidden guard heard.
Mu Yuanjing pulled out a subtle smile on his lips, "Tell Lin Ning that in the future, the people in the hidden world don't have to spy on the princess anymore." ”
He pinched the wine glass containing the water in his hand, and his words seemed to sigh.
Yong'an's head should be, and Mu Yuanjing then instructed: "Entertain the guests in the front hall, this king is not strong enough to drink, so go back to the room first." ”
Yongan looked at the master, who claimed to be drunk but had never touched half a drop of wine, and walked leisurely towards the inner courtyard.
On the way back to the new house from the front hall, he will pass through a garden, and Mu Yuanjing will walk slowly towards the new house through the sea of flowers in the night.
On the way, he couldn't help but think of the newly married princess, and the affairs of the imperial brother and the Su family should not make her embarrassed.
When Mu Yuanjing returned to the room, Su Qingmo was the only one in the room, and everyone was sent back, he looked at the slender person sitting on the edge of the bed, with a faint smile on his face, "The princess will go to rest first, this king still has some business to be busy tonight." ”
Su Qingmo stopped the man who was about to turn around and leave, his lips trembled, "Does the prince want the concubine to become the laughing stock of the entire capital?" ”
Mu Yuanjing was puzzled, "What do you mean by this?" ”
"The prince walked out of the door today, and tomorrow the prince and the concubine will know about the fact that the prince and the concubine have not had a round house, how to call the concubine body at that time still have face, and how to gain a foothold in the capital in the future."
What's more, if it is known by the people of the palace, let alone the capital, no one will follow what she says in the palace.
The fifteen-year-old girl, who had just passed the ceremony, had already grown her facial features, and she looked at him stubbornly, her complexion was fair, and her eyebrows and eyes were like ink, because the two round houses were literally a little shy.
Mu Yuanjing felt that there was something interesting in the girl who was straightening his waist in front of him and pretending to be calm and looking at him, so he thought about it and walked back to the bed and sat down next to someone, and then took Su Qingmo's right hand and held it tightly, "You are still young, too early is not good for your health, just wait a little longer." ”
These words made Su Qingmo so annoyed and ashamed that she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, as if she was in a hurry, she quickly withdrew her hand, lowered her head and stopped making a sound, but the meaning of strikingly was very obvious.
Some childish actions caused Mu Yuanjing to smile, and then said: "Don't worry, the matter won't get out, you can rest assured." ”
He patted her on the shoulder soothingly, and then walked out of the new house without hurrying.
After Mu Yuanjing left, Su Qingmo left the bed and knelt on the ground, reached under the bed with his left hand and groped for a moment, pulled out two books, and locked the spring palace book stuffed to her by her mother Zhou before she got married into the cabinet.
Thanks to her, she temporarily crammed and endured shame and read a few pages. After strolling around the room for a while, he waited for the heat on his face to cool down a little before he got into the brocade quilt, and then ordered Qinghe to blow out the candles.
A good night's sleep, even the serving Qinghe was surprised that the master did not choose a bed, Su Qingmo curled up in the brocade quilt and tried to sober up, because when she was a child, she had fetal poison, although the poison had been cleared later, but she needed to slow down every morning, otherwise she would have a terrible headache that day.
Su Qingmo didn't notice that the person waiting by the bed was not Qinghe, but Mu Yuanjing, and she looked at the man who became her husband yesterday with a blank expression.
If Mu Yuanjing, who was dressed in a red auspicious suit yesterday, was the son of a noble family, then at this moment, Mu Yuanjing, who was dressed in a white brocade robe, only made Su Qingmo have one sentence in his mind.
The stone is like jade, the pine is like green, Lang Yan is unique, and there is no other in the world.
is not like a prince with deep authority, but more like a handsome son like jade.
Su Qingmo calmed down and asked with a smile, "Why is the prince here." ”
After Su Qingmo sat down, Mu Yuanjing let go of his hand and said, "I want to enter the palace today to thank you." ”
Su Qingmo glanced at the sky, hurriedly got up, and said slightly: "Please wait for a while." ”
Mu Yuanjing nodded and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, there is still some time, this king will go to the dining room to wait for you first." ”
Su Qingmo counted the time in her heart, I am afraid that she will not be able to use breakfast, today is the first time she has appeared in the palace, as the daughter of the Su family, she can't fall into the face of the Su family.
After Su Qingmo cleaned up, it was already past the time of a stick of incense, and the husband and wife immediately rushed to the palace in a carriage.
Waiting in the Imperial Yang Palace, Emperor Mu Yuancheng's subordinates kept sketching on rice paper, and after the last stroke fell, he glanced at the chief eunuch Fu Lu who was waiting next to the imperial case, "What is the appearance of Princess Linchuan?" ”
Knowing that he would be able to see it with his own eyes later, he prefers to ask in advance.
Fu Lu thought about it and picked an answer that sounded like it wouldn't be wrong and replied: "Back to the emperor, the slave thinks that it should be no worse, after all, Princess Linchuan is the daughter of the Su family." ”
Mu Yuancheng threw down the pen in his hand, picked up the wet cloth offered by Fu Lu and wiped his hands, and said meaningfully: "The ability of this Su family is indeed not small, and my people have not found out the appearance and character of Princess Linchuan for a long time. ”
Fu Lu stepped forward to take the towel cloth used by Mu Yuancheng, "Back to the emperor, I'm afraid that it's not the secret guard who is not good at doing things, the slave heard that Princess Linchuan has been weak since she was a child, and she has always been carefully raised by the people of the Su family until she was in front of her, and she has never been out of the house for half a step." ”
Mu Yuancheng said lightly, "You can speak for others." ”
Fu Lu was so frightened that he fell to his knees, "The slave said the wrong thing, and asked the emperor to forgive the slave." ”
"Alright, stop kneeling, go wait outside."
As for who is waiting, Fu Lu doesn't need to open his mouth, and Fu Lu knows it very well in his heart.
He quickly got up from the ground, took three steps back, and then turned and walked to the outside of the Imperial Sun Hall to wait.
When he saw someone coming to the Imperial Palace from a distance, Fu Lu hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down to greet him, "I've seen the King of Linchuan, I've seen the Princess of Linchuan, the emperor has been waiting in the palace for a long time." ”
Led by Fu Lu, the two entered the Imperial Sun Palace.
Mu Yuancheng casually glanced at the people under the imperial case, and was quite satisfied in his heart, and said to Mu Yuanjing: "The princess has also entered the door, live a good life in the future, don't spend all your time on official affairs, I won't spare you when you are tired." ”
Su Qingmo heard the strings and knew the elegant meaning, and said busily: "Please rest assured that the younger brother and daughter-in-law will take care of the prince with all her heart." ”
Princess Linchuan is a smart person, and Mu Yuancheng is now completely relieved, feeling that he has finally not wronged his only brother.
Mu Yuanjing stood at the head of the imperial case with a gloomy expression, listening to what the imperial brother said to the princess openly and secretly, but he just smiled and didn't say a word.
The appearance of his younger brother that everything is under control makes Mu Yuancheng angry when he looks at it.
When I was young, I was this virtuous, and I often smiled and said things that pierced people's hearts, and the fourth king of Chu Xiang was even more angry and sick, and in a few days the king of Chu Xiang, Mu Yuanchu, was about to return to Beijing, and the two met at that time and I don't know how to make a fuss.
Mu Yuancheng rubbed his head with a faint pain, he waved his hand and said: "Take your princess back, your imperial sister-in-law is unwell today, and you will go to ask for peace when you are better, the queen mother is still worshipping the Buddha in Cihe Temple, and the matter of asking for peace will also be postponed." ”
Mu Yuanjing obediently took Su Qingmo out of the palace with Su Qingmo, and when he got into the carriage back to the house, Su Qingmo was still a little unable to come back to his senses.
Mu Yuanjing tugged at her fingers, and when she saw her looking over, she asked, "Not feeling well?" ”
Su Qingmo shook his head.
She didn't want to say it, Mu Yuanjing didn't chase after her, and not long after leaving, Yong'an's voice came from outside the car, "Lord Wang, Wei Xu has something to do." ”
Su Qingmo noticed that Mu Yuanjing's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
"The princess will go back to the house first, and the king has something to deal with, so he won't go back to the house to eat at night."
Su Qingmo nodded and sent Mu Yuanjing away, and the carriage continued to Linchuan Palace.
When the carriage was far away, Mu Yuanjing asked the man in dark clothes on the side, "What happened?" ”
Wei Xu replied: "Lord Wang, a strange murder case occurred in the south of the city, and the modus operandi was extremely cruel, and his subordinates have already let people guard it, so they will wait for the prince to go over and check." ”
Mu Yuanjing took the horse in Yong'an's hand, and asked Wei Xu while getting on the horse, "Did you send someone to inform Fang Mubei?" ”
Wei Xu nodded, "His subordinates have already sent someone to inform him, and it is estimated that they are already rushing to the south of the city." ”
Mu Yuanjing immediately said to Yong'an: "You go back to the palace first, and explain what the king ordered last night, Wei Xu, let's go." ”
After saying that, he waved the reins and rushed to the south of the city.
