Chapter 419: Who Gives Whom No Face!
Seeing Xia Jingqiu leave with an angry face, Shen Ninghua's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her fingers involuntarily put on her abdomen.
Hongling on the side stepped forward: "Miss, breakfast has been prepared, you can eat something first, and think about other things later." ”
"Hongling, let people pay attention to Mrs. Xia at all times." In her previous life, she didn't know that she still had Xia Jingqiu's aunt until she died, and Xia Jingqiu's many small calculations before made her extremely uncomfortable, and she had no feelings for her, and now she was just worried about the last trace of blood affection, hoping that she would not be deceived to the end.
"Yes, don't worry, Miss, the slave will tell you as soon as there is news."
Shen Ninghua nodded, just returned to Huajun Pavilion and sat down, Baili Junyi came back, and when he saw that she was only having breakfast now, he couldn't help but wonder: "Ninghua, why is today's meal so late, but what's the matter?" ”
"Mrs. Xia is here."
"Mrs. Xia? The biological mother of the side concubine Yang? He had a bad impression of Yang Yingxue, and he didn't have a good impression of Xia Jingqiu, but for Ning Hua's sake, if he could help, he wouldn't be stingy, "What is she going to do, is there anything wrong?" ”
Shen Ninghua moved the corners of her lips slightly: "I guess I came to settle accounts." ”
"What's the settling with you? Could it be that Mrs. Xia blames Yang Yingxue's death on you? ”
"Well, it's almost, I've asked Hongling to investigate, there should be someone behind this matter."
Baili Junyi nodded, keeping this matter in mind, although there is a limit to what the Xia clan can do, many people are often planted on such inconspicuous little people: "Ning Hua, let's eat first, and the rest will be talked about later." ”
Not long after Xia Jingqiu left, Bu Yonghan sent a letter to apologize for Xia's trouble at the Five Princes' Mansion. Shen Ninghua smiled and put the letter aside: the good guys and the bad guys let her do it alone.
Hongling went to investigate, only to find out that Xia Jingqiu followed the envoys of the Great Yue Kingdom into the city, and lived in the Yunlai Inn in Kyoto, and no one walked around her on weekdays, and she was also very honest these days, only staying in the inn room.
In a blink of an eye, the day when Baili Jinchuan and Bu Yonghan got married, on this day, Xia Jingqiu went out again and went to the Second Prince's Mansion to watch the ceremony. Although her status is not high, she is Yang Yingxue's biological mother, and it makes sense to invite her to participate.
Hongling helped Shen Ninghua's arm and got into the carriage: "Miss, you said that Mrs. Xia has been silent for so long, will she make trouble at this wedding banquet?" ”
Shen Ninghua shook his head: "No." ”
"How can Miss be so sure?"
Bu Yonghan is extremely proud in her heart, and she also attaches great importance to this wedding, she will not allow Mrs. Xia to mess around, besides, even if Mrs. Xia is uncomfortable in her heart, she will not dare to make trouble at the prince's wedding, especially this wedding is also related to the marriage of the two countries, unless she disregards the life and death of herself and Yang Lian, otherwise she will definitely stay honestly until the end.
The Second Prince's Mansion and the Fifth Prince's Mansion were not far apart, and after about a quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped. Shen Ninghua helped Hongling's men get out of the car, and Baili Junyi, who came on horseback, got off the horse, handed over the horse to the guards who came forward, and walked in side by side with Shen Ninghua.
The announcement sounded, and Baili Jinchuan stood at the door and welcomed the two in.
"Second Emperor Brother, my brother is here to say hello to you, today is your big day, you must drink a few more glasses." Seeing Baili Jinchuan in auspicious clothes, Baili Jun smiled with extraordinary sincerity.
This is probably the most sincere sentence he has said to Baili Jinchuan recently, but it is particularly harsh in Baili Jinchuan's ears. His face was grim, and although the corners of his lips were raised, he didn't have the slightest smile: "Thank you, Fifth Emperor Brother, let's take the table." If this red dress was worn to marry Shen Ninghua, he would be willing to wear it for as long as he wanted, but now he was forced to wear this auspicious dress to marry someone he didn't like at all, and he only felt like he was covered with a layer of thorns, so he couldn't help but want to tear it off and chop it into pieces!
Shen Ninghua didn't speak, and after saluting slightly, he entered the table with Baili Junyi, and then looked at the surrounding princes' seats, and his heart moved slightly: The prince has not yet come, and the seats of the third prince are also empty, leaving only the four princes sitting alone and drinking alcohol. It seems that the father is really disgusted with the third prince, and he didn't even make an exception to let him come out on such an important occasion.
The fourth prince glanced at Baili Junyi, scribbled his hand, and without even making a movement to get up, he continued to hold the wine glass and smould the wine. Baili Junyi didn't care, and after helping Shen Ninghua to do a good job, he sat down next to her, letting Hongling and Qingque stand behind him.
After staying for a while, the prince arrived. Shen Ninghua couldn't help but wonder, the prince has always acted with Baili Qingcang, in order to show the dignity and glory of the prince, why did he arrive early this time?
After seeing the ceremony, they sat down separately, and the prince had a gentle smile on his face, and he couldn't see the slightest strangeness and unpleasantness: "The guests have almost arrived, and the father and the emperor will come over later, the wedding of the second emperor and brother is really lively, I'm afraid we can't compare." ”
When he said it, his face was full of smiles, without the slightest haze, as if it was just a simple sigh, but it made the eyes of the four princes flash full of ridicule and displeasure: "This wedding is related to the marriage of the two countries, and the other party is a princess, I heard that the dowry alone will send over one hundred and eighty units, all of which are the same as the dowry specifications of the crown princess, if this wedding is sloppy, doesn't it show that we have no respect for the Dayue Kingdom?" ”
The crown prince smiled slightly, as if he couldn't hear the sarcasm in the mouth of the fourth prince: "Well, what the fourth emperor brother said is reasonable. ”
Baili Junyi didn't care about their secret fighting methods at all, and carefully picked a string of the fullest grapes and handed them to Shen Ninghua: "Ninghua, this grapes are good, eat a little and taste it." ”
Shen Ninghua couldn't help but smile slightly, pinched one and tasted it, and nodded secretly: It's really good, I'm afraid these fruits are transferred from the palace alone, and they should all be tribute. Also, the reason why the prince said those words was because it had something to do with Baili Qingcang letting him come alone this time, and there should be something right in it, and someone could check it later.
It didn't take long for Baili Qingcang and Qi Guifei to come hand in hand. Baili Qingcang's expression was good, with a slight smile on her face, Concubine Qi on the side was dressed in gorgeous palace clothes, and her beautiful face became more and more beautiful after being carefully dressed, coupled with her indifferent and noble atmosphere, she looked more and more elegant and calm. Many people sighed in their hearts, just this bearing, I am afraid that few people can compare with it.
Everyone saluted one after another, and after being called up by Baili Qingcang, they took turns to say words of congratulations, and the hall was particularly lively for a while.
The smile on the prince's face stiffened slightly, and a trace of yin Wu suddenly crossed his eyes, and no one caught it at a fast speed.
I have participated in many weddings, the process is quite clear, and there is nothing new when I look at it, and when I heard the ceremonial officer singing Princess Nuo Yonghan's arrival, everyone looked at the door.
Ceremonial music sounded and firecrackers rang out. Baili Jinchuan stood at the foot of the steps, leaning over slightly and pulling out the bride Bu Yonghan in the sedan chair.
When the auspicious time came, the morning sun spread down, reflecting Yang Yingxue's red and gold auspicious clothes.
Everyone looked intently, only to see that the fiery red auspicious dress was embroidered with gold thread with noble and gorgeous birds and phoenixes. Seeing this pattern, everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, a hundred birds and a phoenix, that is a specification that can only be used by the queen, and it was actually worn by Bu Yonghan.
Thinking that the emperor did not bring the prince in person this time, everyone couldn't help but guess in their hearts, could it be that the emperor was hinting at something? Is it expressing dissatisfaction with the crown prince, or is it expressing high hopes for the second prince? It's just that even if it's an expectation, you can't let Bu Yonghan, who is a daughter-in-law, pass over Qi Guifei, who is a mother-in-law, right?
The smile on Concubine Qi's face has always been there, and if you are not careful, you can't see the slightest difference. But Shen Ninghua found a trace of anger in her expression. Also, in recent days, many people have written books, hoping that after Baili Qingcang, he was unmoved, and even reprimanded the officials who wrote the book, so that everyone did not dare to mention this stubble.
Qi Guifei has not mixed the phoenix robe until now, but it has been worn by Bu Yonghan in a grand manner, even if Qi Guifei is relaxed, I am afraid that it is blocked at this moment.
Baili Qingcang frowned, but he didn't say anything.
The ceremonial officer sang loudly, and the wedding procedure proceeded in order, which took about an hour before it was over, Bu Yonghan was sent to the new house, and Baili Jinchuan stayed to entertain the guests.
I don't know if it's because of the relationship between Bu Yonghan's auspicious clothing pattern, when Baili Qingcang left, Qi Guifei, who was supposed to stay for a while, also said that she was dizzy and uncomfortable, and went back to the palace together.
The four princes couldn't help but be happy, Qi Guifei is expressing her dissatisfaction with her daughter-in-law, hehe, I'm afraid there will be a good show in the future, the daughter-in-law gave her mother-in-law a ride on the day she entered the door, and her mother-in-law fought back mercilessly and didn't give face! It makes you laugh just thinking about it!
After sending off the emperor and Concubine Qi, everyone couldn't help relaxing, the atmosphere in the hall gradually relaxed, and many people began to persuade Baili Jinchuan to drink.
Shen Ninghua was talking to Baili Junyi when she suddenly felt a piercing gaze fall on her, which made her turn her head to check, but she didn't see anyone.
She glanced at Hongling, and Hongling hurriedly bent down: "Miss? ”
"Have you seen Mrs. Xia?"
"Nope." Hongling had already scanned the entire hall several times, but she didn't see Xia Jingqiu's figure.
Shen Ninghua couldn't help frowning, and it didn't take long for a maid to come over, and before she could get in, she was stopped by Qingque and Hongling.
The maid did not panic when she was stopped, and said softly: "Princess, the princess invited you to come over, saying that she has something to tell you, and it is about your aunt." ”
Shen Ninghua was slightly stunned, and then understood that the princess she was referring to was Bu Yonghan: "Today is the princess's big day, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to deal with things at this time, right?" ”
"Yes, originally our princess said the same thing, but don't be helpless, so ......," the maid said with a bitter face.
Xia Jingqiu was not found in the main hall, could it be that she actually went to the new house in the backyard? Who gave her this guts, or is there something else in it?
