Chapter 5 Marriage into the house
An hour later, the sedan chair was carried to the gate of King Qi's mansion.
The surrounding people were full of onlookers, and the send-off team was still blowing trumpets and drums, but the gate of King Qi's mansion was still closed, and there was not even a single red silk on the wall, so there was no festive look.
This......
The send-off procession also stopped at this time, and the entire space was instantly quiet.
"Miss, what should I do if the gate of the Qi Wangfu is closed and no one welcomes the sedan chair?" Mama Qin was a little anxious, and lifted the corner of the sedan curtain to report to "Chu Yi".
"Knock on the door!" Zhong Liwan said calmly.
When Mama Qin heard this, she hurriedly ran to bang on the door.
"Who?" The gate of King Qi's mansion opened a crack in the door, a head poked out, his eyes turned around, and then asked blankly: "What is this for?" Who's going to have a good thing?! β
"......" was silent.
Everyone thought to themselves, brother, can you fake it a little more, King Qi's marriage is known to the world, and the movement outside is so big, can you still not know?
Mama Qin took two steps forward and said, "Little brother, today is the wedding day of my young lady and King Qi, please go and invite King Qi out."
"Big weddingβ" The guard looked surprised, "It's impossible for our prince to get married after a lifetime of singles, so you can go back and forth wherever you fight." β
The guard was about to close the door after speaking, but Zhong Liwan had already come down from the sedan chair at some point, went up with an arrow, raised his hand and pushed the door, and the guard's head was caught naked before he could stretch it back.
"Hey, Miss Chu, keep your head under your hands." The guards screamed in pain.
Zhong Liwan put his hands around his chest: "Don't open the door yet?"
"Open... I'm open! β
Hearing the other party's promise, Zhong Liwan let go of his hand, and the guard's head was able to drill back through the crack in the door, and after entering, he really opened the door, but he sat on the ground with his buttocks, crying and shouting: "The general's mansion forced marriage, Miss Chu also beat my neck crooked, woo~ How could the prince marry such a murderous princess?"
Zhong Liwan: ""
This drama spirit!
The guards crooked their necks and cried for King Qi. Shen Mu came out of the inner mansion, and heard Xiao Si's wolf howl from a distance, and his whole face turned black into carbon. If it weren't for the presence of so many people, he promised not to go out and kill him!
He just told Xiao Si to go out to sweep the face of the General's Mansion, and this guy promised that he would complete the task perfectly, and this is how it was done? It's too embarrassing for the prince!
"The Queen Mother has arrivedβ"
At this moment, a sharp voice called out loudly.
Zhong Liwan was stunned for a moment, turned around, and saw that the people around him were all leaning over and kneeling on the ground and kowtowing: "Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose." β
"What's going on?"
The Queen Mother's voice sounded, sounding very majestic.
"If you go back to the Queen Mother, my young lady has already married into the Qi Palace, but when she arrived at the door, the palace did not come out to welcome the sedan chair. Miss has been waiting outside for a while, and I'm afraid that I will miss it in time, although Miss doesn't mind, but if this thing gets out, the world still doesn't know how to laugh at my miss! Although our general's mansion is lonely, the exploits of the old general and the young general are still there, and the emperor appreciated the holy decree to give marriage, but what King Qi is doing now is where to put the face of the general's mansion. As soon as Mama Qin heard the Queen Mother's question, she immediately thought of this wording, reminding everyone that Chu is still the daughter of a general who protects her family and defends the country, and she should not be insulted by the Qi Palace.
Zhong Liwan almost wanted to applaud Mama Qin when she heard this, she was worthy of being a woman in the courtyard of the deep house.
If she didn't cooperate with her at this time, and put on a weak, pitiful and helpless appearance, how could she be worthy of her words.
So, Zhong Liwan stroked the non-existent folds on his clothes, walked towards the Queen Mother with elegant steps, bowed very decently, and then said softly: "The Queen Mother is not strange, it is still not good, the prince does not know it, and it is normal for me to dislike me." The general's mansion was taken care of by the emperor to have this marriage contract, and since the prince is unwilling to marry, he still won't marry. β
"Hmph, your marriage was promised by the mourning family personally, you are the daughter-in-law designated by the mourning family, if King Qi doesn't let you in, he won't give the mourning family face. Come on, why don't you hurry up and ask King Qi to welcome the princess into the door. "The queen mother's face is not good, this master and servant are inseparable from the marriage of the first emperor, and the royal family treats the bones of Jiangmen like this in public, isn't this a slap in the face.
Shen Mu walked out of the palace and said respectfully to the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother atons for her sins, the slave is late, please follow the Queen Mother and the princess into the palace with me, but the rest of the people will all go back to the house." β
"Where's Ye'er?" Hmph, she came in person, but he didn't come out to pick her up, and didn't take her seriously.
"Back to the Queen Mother, the prince is worried about state affairs, busy with official business, and has no time to leave for the time being, please ask the Queen Mother and Miss Chu to go to the front hall with the slaves, and the prince will arrive later." Shen Mu lowered his head and was still calm in the face of the Queen Mother's questioning.
The Queen Mother's face was extremely ugly, but she still said with a cold face: "Lead the way!" β
"Queen Mother, the slave maid has been taking care of the princess closely, please let the slave and maid follow the princess!" Mama Qin looked at the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother's face was displeased, she knew that her son's character had never been oil and salt, and all the people in King Qi's Mansion were his henchmen, not even an outsider, she forcibly stuffed Ye'er with a Chu still touched his bottom line, how could he be angry with him for irrelevant trivial matters.
"Mama, go back!" Zhong Liwan said at this time.
The Queen Mother looked at Zhong Liwan with appreciation, and said in her heart that this daughter-in-law is quite interesting. So, as soon as he turned around, he quickly walked into the palace with his subordinates. Zhong Liwan had no one to lead the way, she had a red hijab on her head blocking her vision, and her eyes could only see her feet, but just by listening to the footsteps, she could also distinguish the direction of the Queen Mother and others.
Shen Mu took them to the hall, King Qi had not yet come, the Queen Mother sat alone and drank tea, she did not dare to sit down without the Queen Mother's order, so she could only stand and wait.
When Mo Jinye came, he saw a woman in red standing in the center of the living room, slender and willowy, but standing straight, even if she didn't look at her face, she had an unusual aura.
"Ye'er is here." When the Queen Mother saw King Qi coming, she smiled and looked very happy.
"I've seen the Queen Mother." Mo Jinye nodded lightly and said expressionlessly.
The Queen Mother smiled, put down the teacup, and then said earnestly: "Ye'er, you are not too young, are you dissatisfied with the marriage that the mourning family refers to for you, and let your daughter-in-law wait outside the house for so long." β
"How dare you." Mo Jinye glanced sideways at Zhong Liwan, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a slightly mocking smile, "This king is just busy with business, the princess should be able to understand." β
He finished speaking, flicking his fingers.
Zhong Liwan felt the dark wind coming towards her face, with murderous intent, her eyes narrowed slightly, and the hand under her sleeve tightened, but she didn't move, and the expression on her face recovered in an instant. At this moment, the breeze swept up the Shippa on her head, and her vision widened, and she was greeted by a tall and straight body.
The moment she saw him, she breathed hard.
What a miraculous face this man has, his face is like a knife, his dark sword eyebrows are in the sideburns, his eyes are narrow, his eyes are deep, his deep pupils are soul-catching, his nose is high, and his thin lips are crimson. He has a strong figure, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, a tall and long posture, and exudes a calm and domineering aura that cannot be ignored.
Mo Jinye was also looking at her, this face was still exactly the same as Chu, if you want to say the only difference, it should be the eyes on this little face, which seem to be more agile and cunning.
"The bride hasn't entered the cave room yet, why did you lift her hijab, how unlucky." At this time, the Queen Mother spoke, and her tone was slightly reproachful.
Mo Jinye looked at Zhong Liwan and seemed to be smiling, "This king just can't wait to see how different his daughter-in-law can be who can satisfy the queen mother." β
When the Queen Mother heard this, she smiled and beckoned to Zhong Liwan, "Still, come to the mourning family." β
Zhong Liwan hurriedly glanced at the Queen Mother, she was a super beauty, five or six points similar to King Qi, very well maintained, nearly forty years old, but she looked like a woman in her twenties, still full of charm.
She bowed her head and saluted and walked over, only to see the Queen Mother holding her hand affectionately, and said gently: "General Chu's daughter is the first beauty of our Dongqi, and the mourning family liked this girl tightly when she saw her in the palace before. β
Worst!
As soon as Zhong Liwan heard this, he knew that this Chu still knew the Queen Mother before, and if she showed her flaws, the Queen Mother would definitely notice it.
"The concubine is ashamed, the concubine does not seek to be worthy of the prince, but only to be able to stay by the prince's side forever, serve the prince wholeheartedly, and do her duty as a princess, she is already satisfied." Zhong Liwan lowered his head with a flushed face after speaking.
Hey, it's really numb to me, who wants to stay by your side forever, just tonight, I promise to get something and stay away from you immediately.
Zhong Liwan was complaining in her heart, but the Queen Mother patted her hand with satisfaction and said: "The mourning family said that this child is sensible, and she just passed the door and thought about you, but-"
It's just that? Zhong Liwan raised his eyebrows and waited for her to speak.
The Queen Mother paused before saying: "You are now twenty-two, and there is no concubine in the mansion, how to spread the branches and leaves, how to let the mourning family hug their grandson as soon as possible." Today, taking advantage of the happy event, I will accept the two girls Mingyue and Mingxin around the mourning family! β
Zhong Liwan still lowered her head, but after listening to the Queen Mother's words, she couldn't help but secretly roll her eyes, although she is not Chu Yi, but which girl would like to be sent to her husband on the day of marriage, when can this Queen Mother not send a woman, but today, is it really for the heir?
She looked up and saw a pair of bright and lovely girls standing next to the Queen Mother, both of whom looked excited and looked at Mo Jinye shyly. She couldn't help frowning, this ancient woman had no status, and she was so happy to serve a husband together, it was really sad.....
Mo Jinye sneered in his heart, one undercover agent is not enough, do you want to send two more?
He didn't even look at the two girls, but he kept staring at Zhong Liwan's every move, and even saw her rolling her eyes at the Queen Mother, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook an arc, looking at Zhong Liwan and raising her eyebrows and saying: "The princess is so sincere to this king, but this king wants to take a concubine on the wedding day, doesn't it chill her heart....so, one princess is enough." β
Eh, the corners of Zhong Liwan's mouth twitched slightly, she just pretended to be affectionate, and this guy climbed up the pole.
The Queen Mother laughed twice when she heard this, looked at Zhong Liwan and said confidently: "Still girl, you don't mind King Qi taking another concubine, right?" β
Zhong Liwan thought about it, it is better to offend King Qi now, it is better to offend the Queen Mother, since the Queen Mother knows the original Chu Yi, then she can't get too close to the Queen Mother, lest she be recognized as a fake, anyway, you don't have to deal with her after tonight, it's better to tear your face now!
"I mindβ" she replied.
The smile on the Queen Mother's face stopped abruptly, and her eyes were about to come out.
Okay, you're still a Chu still, you're just a chess piece sent in by the mourning family, and as soon as you enter the door, you start to help Ye'er deal with the mourning family, do you think Ye'er really treats you as a princess!
Of course, even if she wanted to be dragged out and killed, she still had a kind expression on her face.
"Well, since your husband and wife are of the same heart and the mourning family is very pleased, you will exchange glasses of wine here, so that the mourning family and heaven and earth can be witnesses. As for the matter of taking concubines, the mourning family will not force it today. The Queen Mother compromised.
The servant brought the wine jug, and the Queen Mother personally poured two glasses of wine and handed them to Zhong Liwan and King Qi respectively.
Mo Jinye didn't have any expression on his face, but the frowning brow already showed that he was unhappy. Heh, drinking?
He looked down at the wine in the wine glass, and glanced at the Queen Mother with a slightly meaningful look, you really don't stop until you reach your goal! Drinking a glass of wine requires the two of them to intertwine their wrists, Mo Jinye is extremely repulsive, but when he gets close to Zhong Liwan, he is not disgusted by the breath on her body, he is a little surprised by his abnormality, and he drank the wine in one gulp, and Zhong Liwan took the wine glass and just brought it to his mouth, his eyebrows frowned.
Poisonous!
