XVI. Calm the waves

On the second day of the wedding, Bo Heng and I went to worship our ancestors according to the regulations, and then went to Mrs. De's palace to say goodbye.

Mrs. De took me by the hand and sat down, and told me that she wanted me to be my daughter-in-law at the first sight. I felt helpless for a while, what is Liang Yunzhi who was summoned into the palace by you for no reason.

I should sit and watch with the attentive Mrs. De and Bo Heng, I just want to leave as soon as possible. In order to avoid attending the wedding banquet between me and Bo Heng, Yun Zhi had already gone home a month before the wedding, and now there is only Mrs. De, my nominal mother, in this palace.

After the greetings, Emperor Yuan sent Li Chong to find us and have dinner together at noon. After bidding farewell to Mrs. De, Bo Heng and I walked slowly through the long street.

When I was about to arrive at the Changming Palace in Emperor Yuan, Bo Heng suddenly took my hand and startled me and was about to shrink back. Bo Heng clenched harder and harder, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

"Madame doesn't want Your Majesty to see us so alienated, then the previous acting will be wasted." Boheng whispered in my ear.

I simply gave up the struggle and let his wide palm directly envelop mine.

"Son, please greet my father." Di Yuan couldn't hide his smile, and looked at me and Bo Heng who knelt down to salute. Get up quickly, and give us a seat.

After Bo Heng helped me to sit down, Di Yuan looked the two of us up and down. I was a little distracted, and Bo Heng patted my hand, and I looked up into his eyes.

"Now that you juniors are married, my father really feels that he is old." Di Yuan said.

Bo Heng bowed his hand, "My father is now in the prime of life, and the child is just lucky to meet Xiao Qi early, and the good couple has already become a good couple." โ€

Di Yuan looked up happily and laughed, "Okay, what a good couple!" โ€

I reluctantly smiled at the two fathers and sons, and secretly rolled my eyes in my heart.

At the dinner table, Bo Heng diligently sandwiched the dishes for me, and the dishes were full, and even the servants of the cloth vegetables had no chance to see the stitches. As a last resort, I said, "Your Highness, you should also eat more." Secretly picked a piece of the fattest Dongpo meat and stuffed it into Boheng's bowl.

Bo Heng looked at me with some bewilderment, and I smiled at him with a sly look in my eyes. Not to be outdone, Bo Heng took a piece of egg and put it directly into my bowl, and the young red on the side hurriedly changed a bowl of rice for me, and reminded Bo Heng, "Your Highness, the princess has been allergic to eggs since she was a child, and she can't touch it at all." โ€

Di Yuan on the side snorted impatiently, accusing Bo Heng of being so intimate. I said it was okay, and finally ended this boring dispute with Bo Heng.

At the end of the meal, I made tea for Di Yuan as I did when I was in Qionghua Pavilion, and Di Yuan tasted it carefully and said: "Now that you are married, the stone in your lonely heart has also fallen. The house outside the palace has also been arranged, you still have to be busy, and go out of the palace to see your new home, and remember to go back to the palace to visit your family often in the future. โ€

Bo Heng and I left the palace immediately, and I rolled up the curtain and looked at the palace gate slowly moving away. My heart is full of melancholy, and now I can finally leave the palace, but I am not going back to my own home. Looking ahead, Bo Heng was sitting on a horse, which attracted the attention of the women on the street.

After a while, the carriage gradually stopped. Zhihong helped me get out of the carriage, and in front of me was a magnificent mansion with four big characters on the plaque: Lingyang Palace.

Bo Heng rolled over and dismounted, and came to my side. Stretched out his hand like a little two in the store, "Madam, please." โ€

I watched the people around me who were doing good things, and I played with Bo Heng. Bow with a soft waist and say thank you to the husband delicately. made Zhihong look dazed, how could it be that the two of them became so intimate in just one night.

The expansion of the mansion shows that Emperor Yuan's reward is attentive. I saw that the timber of the house was of the highest quality, and I was afraid that Mrs. Tak had added a lot from it. When I came to the main house, all the decorations inside were clear and elegant. The eldest lady of the servant specially sent people to say that they were all innocent people she had selected one by one.

A Lingyang Palace, only living in me and Boheng, is really luxurious and wasteful.

After a while, Bo Heng also came and asked if I was satisfied, and I nodded in approval. He waved his hand to dismiss the servants, and said to me in a serious tone: "The Lingyang Royal Mansion is now on the cusp of a very conspicuous situation, although the servants are all selected by Mrs. Sun, but I am only afraid of a hundred secrets. Madame and I still need to act in front of people. โ€

I looked at the huge bed and had the idea to lower half of the screen horizontally and split the bed in half. I pointed to the bed and said, "Is this still satisfying?" โ€

Bo Heng nodded, and then went about his business.

When I returned to Ning on the third day, before I arrived at the street, I saw Daddy, Brother and Lady waiting at the door from a distance.

Hurriedly getting out of the carriage, I happily lifted the corner of my skirt and ran towards Daddy, Brother and Eldest Lady, and Bo Heng followed closely behind. Before Daddy could shout, he saw Daddy, Brother, and Lady kneeling down together.

"The courtier's grandson Qingshan, the courtier's grandson Qiyu, the courtier's wife Zhang's, meet the king of Lingyang, the princess of Lingyang."

My outstretched hand was in the air, "What are Daddy and the eldest lady doing, tormenting the child." โ€

Bo Heng and I hurriedly helped them up, saying that the general did not need to be polite.

Daddy looked at me and Bo Heng, still bowing his hands, "First the monarch and the minister, then the father and daughter." The minister didn't dare to break the rules. โ€

My heart was very heavy, and I helped my father and said let's go in first.

Before the banquet was arranged, Bo Heng and Brother Ah had known each other before, and they were confidants and friends, and the two went to Brother A's study to talk about the scriptures. My father and my eldest lady sat in the antechamber and exchanged pleasantries.

"Xiao Qi is not thin at all, His Royal Highness treats me very well. Don't worry, big lady. I comforted the worried eyes of the eldest lady, and I also said it to Daddy.

After a long conversation with the eldest lady, Daddy never said a word. After a while, the eldest lady excused herself to go to the kitchen to see if the food was ready, and she also withdrew the servants, leaving only me and Daddy.

Daddy asked me why I finally changed my mind, but what coercion I was subjected to. I shook my head, and had no choice but to uncover the scar again, and tell Daddy the truth about that night.

Daddy sighed after hearing this, and sighed that maybe I have no fate with Nanjia.

"Daddy has also heard the news from everywhere during this time, maybe King Lingyang can also be a good destination for you." I looked at Daddy with some confusion, and Daddy continued.

"The Queen Mother of Lingyang was born from a noble background, if it weren't for Her Majesty's preference for Concubine Chen, she would be the queen of Yanqi. And the father learned from various sources that the King of Lingyang had a valuable character. Never arrogant because of birth. โ€

Daddy took out a few books and handed them to me. "He is also outstanding in talent, likes poetry and songs, and has written several books, all of which are good books for governing the country and the country."

I unfolded the book, and the handwriting inside was strong and powerful.

"Your Majesty has also moved the mind of the prince in recent years, and he has wavered among the four princes. As a father, I don't hope that Xiao Qiding will become a concubine, but I hope that King Lingyang will protect you well. โ€

I thought about Daddy's words repeatedly, "Daddy said the King of Lingyang so perfectly, but there is a way that no one is perfect, and no one is perfect." Could it be that he is a mortal immortal in the world. โ€

Daddy nodded, "This is what worries about my father, the more he hides himself perfectly, the more unfathomable it is." Xiaoqi, you have to remember that even if it is a loving couple, the word caution is indispensable to maintain the relationship. โ€

I put the scrolls in order," Xiao Qi knows. โ€

Bo Heng and Brother Ah were late at the start of the banquet, and we staged another scene of picking up vegetables. I can't see it to Daddy and Mrs. So, only Brother is making fun of our husband and wife's affection, and I laughed and laughed.

We had to go back to the palace before dark, and after reluctantly saying goodbye to Daddy and them, the two mansions, one east and one west, finally returned to the palace when the lantern was hung high.

In the past few days, I have been busy arranging various matters in the house, and I have been very busy. After the bath, I just want to settle in early. I told Zhihong that in the future, no one will be allowed to enter our inner room without my permission.

I lay on the inside of the screen and fell asleep, Bo Heng was still in the study to deal with affairs and did not return, and someone covered me with a kicking quilt in the confusion.

Early in the morning, I opened my eyes to see a faint human figure on the other side of the screen, and heard Bo Heng's even breathing. finally accepted the fact that she was already the princess of Lingyang, and the huge mansion would be managed by me in the future.

The man beside me will also be my husband and wife in the future, and the husband and wife will be one, probably so.

As I was in my trance, Bo Heng's voice startled me. "Madame is awake?"

I got up numbly and looked at Bo Heng on the bed with green silk hanging on his shoulders and rubbing his eyes lazily. "Yes, your Highness, get up too. I ordered someone to set up breakfast. โ€

The days passed slowly in such respectful guests, and Bo Heng and I did not have the embarrassment we had at the beginning, but could joke with each other from time to time. He was also not stingy in taking me around Kyoto to eat fashionable dishes.

The world is rumored that we are husband and wife, Yun Zhi is full of vinegar and said that I am full of jealousy, and I also know that Yun Zhi is going to marry Wang Xian, a new upstart general of my childhood sweetheart.

On that day, I was lying on the beauty couch in the pavilion in plain clothes, just about to sigh that the years were quiet. A fiery figure rushed straight from the door, looking at the posture, I didn't have to guess that I knew it was Zhou Shuning, and I didn't even bother to report it.

"Why are you so leisurely, you princess is really doing well." Zhou Shuning sat directly on the blue and white porcelain round stool next to me.

I dangled the fan and ordered Zhihong to give Zhou Shuning the plum soup that canceled the summer. "Why are you so in such a hurry today, but what happened?"

Zhou Shuning leaned over to me and looked around nervously. "You don't know, Yundu has changed hands."

I hadn't heard the name of the place for a long time, and my eyes, which had been lazily closed, opened suddenly. But he still controlled himself and let out an oh doubt.

Zhou Shuning lowered her voice, "It's that Qu Peinanga, he overthrew his eldest brother after he returned to Yundu, and then he is now the new King of Yundu." He also killed his eldest brother directly, tsk tsk..."

I'm not surprised by this outcome. Because of what Di Yuan promised, he will do it.

Zhou Shuning still said unsatisfactorily: "Coincidentally, this Yundu has changed hands, and so has Baiyue." The new Baiyue lord died three days ago. โ€

Baiyue Countryยทยทยท I thought to myself, "Is this Mrs. Liang's hometown?" โ€

Zhou Shuning patted her thigh, "Yes, it's Mrs. Liang's hometown." Moreover, it was the younger brother of Mrs. Liang who succeeded to the lord of the country, and I heard that he was not yet ten years old. And Mrs. Liang's sister has become something... Oh! Saint. โ€

I got up slowly and looked at Zhou Shuning, who was smashing melon seeds in her mouth. "Baiyue, the new lord of the country, is too young, and he is still a child. What is the position of a saint? โ€

Zhou Shuning's eyes rolled for a while, "I heard Ji Lin say that the holy woman is actually the priest of Baiyue. It's just that it's been a long time since a saint has been specifically designated, that is, there is a separate high priest. โ€

I listened to these words and became interested, "Baiyue is a place inhabited by different ethnic groups, the terrain is desolate, and it is not easy for the first king of Baiyue to unite them all." And Mrs. Liang's sister is also a royal family, and the princess has become a saint, which is a bit unbelievable. โ€

Zhou Shuning's little feet were cocked, and the tassels on her shoes were flicked off one by one. "I don't envy any saint, how lonely it must be to be high up in the dust."

I talked to Zhou Shuning for a while, Zhihong came to report, someone came to the palace, and Di Yuan announced that Bo Heng and I entered the palace.

Zhou Shuning patted the melon seed shell on her hand and said goodbye to go back. I sent someone to look for Bo Heng, wondering why I had to enter the palace again because it was not a festival today, and the hour was not early.

But he still changed his clothes with Bo Heng and went to the palace.
