Chapter 2: The Day of the Wedding

At this moment, there was no trace of joy in King Yan's mansion at all. The people are still busy with their own work as usual. In the hall sat a man of great countenance, with a carved face with distinct features, and an angular face that was unusually handsome; a head of black and thick hair, meticulously tied up on the top of the head; Under the heroic sword eyebrows, there is a pair of slender peach blossom eyes; With a tall nose and moderately thick red lips, he is sipping on the tea in his cup.

The housekeeper Fu Bo stepped forward to report to the man: "Lord Wang, Ye Gongzi is here." After finishing speaking, I saw a handsome boy dressed in white with a jade crown and a smile on his eyebrows striding in not far away.

Zhao Qingcheng glanced at Fu Bo, and Fu Bo took all his subordinates to retreat, leaving only Zhao Qingcheng and Ye Xizhi.

As soon as Ye Xizhi sat down, he raised his eyes and looked around the hall, as if he had come to this Yan Wangfu for the first time. Then, he looked at Zhao Qingcheng carefully from top to bottom, of course, he was the only one who dared to look at the King Yan in front of him so blatantly.

The sedan chair for the bride in the Hou Mansion is almost here, and the palace is neither arranged nor feasted, and Zhao Qingcheng does not even change his wedding clothes, and sits in the hall dressed in black. Ye Xizhi is not worried, he knows Zhao Qingcheng too well, and Zhao Qingcheng will never do anything that he is not sure of.

Ye Xizhi just complained to Zhao Qingcheng jokingly: "Do you know that my sister wants to marry you, and my old man also means this." But after this decree, she now washes her face with tears all day long. ”

Zhao Qingcheng didn't care, and said lightly: "Your grandfather is the prime minister of the court, and your brother is the commander of the Praetorian Guard, do you think 'she' will let this king marry your family?!" ”

Ye Xizhi sighed deeply, "she" would not allow Zhao Qingcheng to have any chance to turn over. "What are you going to do next?" It is not difficult for someone in the palace to kill someone, let alone a fool, but he knows that Zhao Qingcheng is not an unscrupulous person who kills innocents indiscriminately, so he has this question.

Zhao Qingcheng's resolute handsome face did not contain a trace of expression, and turned his head to look at Ye Xizhi: "Divorce your wife!" ”

Ye Xizhi was a smart person, and he immediately understood the reason why Zhao Qingcheng wanted to take this step. I'm afraid that the "stupid lady" of the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion is not really stupid, but the eyeliner that "she" placed next to Zhao Qingcheng is not so easy.

Although this Zhongyi Marquis Mansion has long existed in name only, there is not a single male in the whole mansion. But after all, the emperor's mother, the current queen mother, is the concubine of the loyal and righteous marquis back then, and the only daughter of the old lady. And since Zhao Qingcheng returned to the court three years ago, some of the old ministers in the court are biased towards Zhao Qingcheng, so that the current queen mother, the concubine of the year, has always wanted to put Zhao Qingcheng to death, after all, this throne was originally inherited by Zhao Qingcheng.

Thinking of this, Ye Xizhi couldn't help frowning: "Do you suspect that Li Wei?" ”

Zhao Qingcheng's slender fingers tapped the table regularly, "This king only found out that she entered the palace with the Hou Ye five years ago, and after returning to the Zhongyi Hou Mansion, she became what she is now." On weekdays, I don't cry or make trouble, I just sit in a daze. "Regardless of whether this is really stupid or fake, he will never let her marry into the palace.

"Five years ago, too?" Ye Xi looks like a debauchery on the outside, but the shrewdness in his eyes is inadvertently revealed, but people dare not underestimate it.

"Isn't it too much of a coincidence?!" Zhao Qingcheng smiled slightly, and the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes. His hands were clenched into fists so tightly that his knuckles were white, and the events of five years ago seemed vivid.

Ye Xizhi knew that this was an eternal pain in Zhao Qingcheng's heart, and it could be said that the incident five years ago changed everything for Zhao Qingcheng. He walked up to Zhao Qingcheng and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

Zhao Qingcheng has only a handful of friends, Ye Xizhi is one, feeling his concern, Zhao Qingcheng nodded lightly.

"It's almost impossible for a girl to start pretending to be stupid from the age of twelve or thirteen for five years without leaving a trace." Zhao Qingcheng played with the wrench in his hand.

"Since none of your people have been able to find evidence that this eldest lady of the Hou Mansion is pretending to be stupid, it seems that she is really stupid. It's just that the good girl's family suddenly became stupid five years ago, which is intriguing. Ye Xizhi knew the ability of those people under Zhao Qingcheng. But the things of five years ago are too big, and the black hands behind them are too clean, and it is not possible to find out in a while.

Zhao Qingcheng put away all his emotions, put on his signature ten-thousand-year-old iceberg face, and took out something from his waist and put it in front of Ye Xizhi.

Ye Xizhi glanced at the thing from the corner of his eye, speechless: "You just sent the people of the Hou Mansion like this?" ”

"Enough." Zhao Qingcheng does not fight uncertain battles.

Ye Xizhi didn't get angry when he looked at his underwhelming face, but he was already used to Zhao Qingcheng's appearance, and said with a smile: "That son will sit and wait to watch the play." ”

Zhao Qingcheng didn't answer, Danfeng's eyes were half-narrowed, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, his eyes were deep, how could it be so easy to be his princess······

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The big red sedan chair followed the honor guard to the palace of King Yan, not only was there no lanterns outside the palace gate, but even the door of the palace was closed. But the people around are gathering more and more, and the bride only feels that one head and two are big, how can there be a reason to turn the bride away.

The bride doesn't know what to do now, if she takes the bride back to the Zhongyi Marquis's mansion, she will definitely go around after eating, and maybe she will lose this little life; I want to ask the bride what to do now, this lady of the Hou Mansion is a fool again, what can she ask for the result. So, Xi Niang had no choice but to knock on the door of the palace.

Unexpectedly, the door of King Yan's mansion was opened soon, and the housekeeper Fu Bo personally greeted him. Xi Niang was secretly happy in her heart, but before she could speak, Fu Bo stuffed a piece of paper to Xi Niang and said: "The prince has passed the word, since even the queen mother praises the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion as 'wise and foolish', then the prince wants to test the young lady here." If the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion can solve this problem, the prince should go down to this family business; If not, then the sedan chair does not have to be carried into the palace today. After speaking, he asked the little servant to close the gate of the palace again.

Now, Xi Niang is completely dumbfounded! Everyone in the world knows that the eldest lady of the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion is a fool, she can't even say a word on weekdays, how can she solve the question of the prince! The bride was holding the paper in her hand, anxious like an ant on a hot pot, walking back and forth by the sedan chair.

The surrounding onlookers were even more curious to discuss what kind of problem the prince had given to this eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, and even more good people simply walked to the side of the bride and bent down to look at the paper.

"Go! Go! Go! Xi Niang was upset to drive away those who did good things, but she couldn't drive away the anxiety in her heart.

Li Weixi in the sedan chair had already heard the conversation between the bride and the palace housekeeper clearly. She snorted coldly, "This prince is not stupid, he actually set her up here." She whispered to the bridal maid by the sedan chair: "What's wrong with the prince, you go to the bride and bring it to me to see." ”

When the maid heard this, she was startled. Wondering: Isn't the eldest lady stupid? Since returning home from the palace five years ago, he has almost been like a mute, how can he suddenly speak? But the current situation forced the maid not to think too much, walked quickly to the bride, asked for something, lifted the corner of the sedan curtain, and reached out to hand over the paper that the housekeeper had given to the bride just now.

Xi Niang was also confused, but at this time, she couldn't help thinking about it, no matter whether this eldest lady of the Hou Mansion was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, at present, she only hoped that the bride could be sent into the palace safely as soon as possible, and what else did she have to do with it. At this moment, she was eagerly looking at the sedan chair.

The surrounding people also began to pay close attention to the sedan chair, and only occasionally a few were still speculating.

Li did not hesitate to take a look at the jade hand in the sedan chair, and unconsciously had a trace of disdain on the ground. How difficult it is! It's just a nine-square grid that even the children of the third grade of elementary school in that world can do. I can't blame the prince for underestimating her, who made herself a well-known "fool"!

Li did not hesitate to call the maid again and motioned her to come closer, and the maid obediently approached the sedan chair and stepped forward. Li didn't hesitate to whisper a few words in her ear, but the maid didn't dare to say more although she was full of questions, so she nodded lightly to Li Weixi. Turned around and ordered the sedan chair man to press the sedan chair under the strange eyes of everyone, and lightly opened the sedan curtain to help Li Wei in the sedan chair.

Seeing this, the bride was anxious, and walked a few steps forward to stop her: "Oops! I can't do it, I can't do it! I can't help it! You girl really doesn't know the rules, you don't know that the bride can't touch the ground with her feet before she enters the door! As he spoke, he had to push Li Wei on the sedan chair.

Li did not hesitate to squeeze Xi Niang's hand, and whispered in Xi Niang's ear unhurriedly: "Xi Niang doesn't have to worry about this matter, just wait here, Miss Ben will bear it alone." ”

Hearing this, Xi Niang was startled, and she was suspicious of the "stupid miss" of the Hou Mansion, but she didn't dare to step forward to stop her, but just waited by the sedan chair with a worried face.

Li did not hesitate to go to the gate of the palace with the help of the maid, the hand of the maid supporting her was trembling slightly, she gently patted the back of the maid's hand, and gently comforted: "Don't worry, it's okay, do what I just told you." ”

Li Weixi's soft voice seemed to have magical power, and the maid quickly stabilized her heart and stretched out her hand to knock lightly on the gate of the palace.

The door of Prince Yan's mansion soon opened again, and Fu Bo slowly walked out of the door, but he didn't expect to see the bride as soon as he raised his eyes. Seeing that Li Weixi, who was still covered with a red hijab under the support of the maid, stood outside the door of the mansion, Fu Bo was really surprised, but after all, he was a person from Zhao Qingcheng's mansion, and he saw a lot of winds and waves, although he was surprised, his face was not obvious, and he welcomed them into the mansion indifferently.

Xi Niang is also a shrewd person, she saw that Li did not hesitate to enter the palace with the housekeeper with the support of the maid, so she asked the porter to send the dowry of the Hou Mansion from the side door of the palace, and took out the silver to send the sedan chair driver and the porter, and smeared oil on the soles of her feet to report to the Hou Mansion. Of course, she would say that the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion had been invited in by the prince. In this way, not only can she get another reward, but even if she waits for the prince to drive the bride out of the house, it has nothing to do with her. After all, it is an indisputable fact that the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion entered the palace in full view of everyone. Thinking of this, Xi Niang's heart blossomed even more, and the steps under her feet couldn't help but become brisk.

The people around the onlookers only said that the little maid who was not afraid of death in the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion forced the silly lady into the palace, and when they saw that there was no more drama to watch, they all dispersed in a hurry and went home.
