Chapter Ninety-Five: The Great Wedding Was Robbed
The sky was bright, the sky was wide and wide, and it looked like it was a good day.
Expedient was pulled out of the quilt before dawn, washed and dressed, and was busy in wedding clothes for two hours, she was helped by Bai Manqing and Xiaohe to tidy up, she was busy and closed her eyes and seized the time to rest.
As soon as the day dawned, the concubine also arrived, and today she was dressed differently from the usual plain and elegant, dignified and generous with a bit of nobility, and looked at the expediency in front of the mirror with a loving face.
docile and demure, with the shyness of a little girl who is about to get married, her skin is fair, and you can faintly see a hint of redness, and her red wedding dress is becoming more and more dusty.
Xiaohe handed over a cow bone comb, the comb was smooth and printed with a candle flame on the side, and the concubine picked up a strand of hair, combed it from the bottom to the bottom, and muttered in her mouth: "Comb to the end, husband and wife are harmonious!" The second comb is in place, and the white hair is eyebrow-high! Three combs to the ground full of children and grandchildren."
The comb was changed three times, and three blessings were spoken, one was to hope for the harmony of the husband and wife, the second was to hope that they could stay together until they were old, and the third was to hope that the children and grandchildren would be full.
In the end, the voice of the concubine was a little trembling, and when she got up, her eyes were moistened, and she adjusted her thoughts to insert the golden hairpin for the expediency, and the tassels on both sides drooped, undulating with the master's movements.
Reaching out to caress her head, the concubine's mood was still a little low, and the corners of her mouth twitched, as if she was going to cry out in the next moment.
"When I grew up, I saw you getting married."
Quan Yi smiled at her affectionately, his eyes were also moistened, the two held hands, smiled lovingly from the concubine, and shook his head: "Don't cry, this is a good thing, you have come to the bitter end, I am happy for you."
"It's still early, leave your mother and accompany me to see my mother."
"Okay."
Inside the house, the candles were still flickering, and the outside was getting brighter, and the sunlight was shining through the window paper, and the light was still bright.
Quan Yi stood in front of the portrait, waiting for her from the concubine, she was also the biological mother who had not seen Quan for a long time, seeing the portrait, the originally suppressed emotions could no longer help but burst out, covering her mouth and sobbing down, looking from behind, her shoulders shook badly.
"Mother, look at who I brought to see you, the child got married today, the mother is not around, the concubine treats me very well, and the son of the minister makes the decision to ask Mother Li to send me to marry, you are also happy, right?"
Expediency's eyes were red, tears came out of her eyes, and her eyes were a little fascinated, and the person in the portrait was still looking at her with a smile on her eyebrows.
As soon as the time to pick up the relatives arrived, Ji Fu came out of the house, Yun Yi stepped forward to hold the horse for him, he was dressed in red to charm all beings, and his face, which had always been cold, was a little warmer at the moment, and he looked as if he had won a battle.
Gongs and drums were beaten, and two sets of firecrackers were lit before the pick-up procession set off, and the sound of crackling resounded throughout the street.
There were a lot of people running out of the street to see the excitement, some came for Ji Fu, and some came to see the excitement, but in short, the road to greet relatives was almost overcrowded, and everyone stretched their necks to see the demeanor of the Hou Ye.
"Didn't these seven princesses originally be in the cold palace? How to tie the knot with Hou Ye is really incomprehensible." The shopkeeper on the side leaned in front of the door of his house and sighed.
The shopkeeper behind him looked at the usual greeting procession, and snorted, "How can you know about the big guys, so why don't you hurry up and go to the greeting team for a while, there should be guests coming."
Xiao Er was stunned, pouted and lowered his head to go around the shopkeeper to the dining table, and continued to clean.
As the princess's brother today, Quan Pei personally sent Quan out of the house, so he also arrived early in the morning to help with the inside and out.
Quan Sheng looked at the busy crowd, and his heart was melancholy, he was the only one left in this palace in the future, and it would be inconvenient for his sister to enter the palace when she went to the Hou Mansion.
Looking at it, he felt a little resentful of himself in his heart, resentful that he was too young, trapped in this palace and couldn't go out, to give himself and his sister a place to live, Hou Ye was really good with his sister, and he had no reason to be melancholy.
He sat in front of the door of his temple, bowing his head in a daze, until there was a muffled noise in the room, and the window was opened and closed.
It has always been blown by the wind.
He had just locked up and was about to leave, when footsteps appeared behind him, and the comer's breath was calm, and before he could react, he struck him directly on the back of the neck, and his eyes were black and he fell behind him, and was stopped.
Concubine Li chatted with Quan Yi about the past again, until Bai Manqing looked up at the window, "Niangniang, princess, Shi Chen is almost over, and the team to welcome relatives has also set off, we have to put on a hijab and go to Your Majesty to resign."
"Where's Sheng'er? Before this marriage, the newlyweds always have to say goodbye to their families, and there will be a lot of people in front of the hall for a while, and I am afraid that you will not have time to say goodbye to Sheng'er." Concubine Li glanced inside the room, did not see Quan Sheng's shadow, and reminded.
Quan Yiyi glanced at it, instructed Xiaohe to find Quan Sheng, and patted the concubine's hand comfortingly, "Leaving the concubine, Sheng Er is alone in the palace, and I have to bother you to take care of it more, if you are lazy or something, you don't have to get used to it."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it for you." Seeing the concubine's attitude towards Quan Sheng, she used to be intimate and protected in every way, but she didn't know that she had been a little estranged recently, and everything she did seemed to be fulfilling her promises, she was not intimate before, she didn't have time to ask, but she always felt that something was wrong.
After a while, Xiaohe ran in in a panic with a solemn expression: "Princess, the slave maid brought in and searched the courtyard, but I didn't see the shadow of His Royal Highness."
"What did you say?" Expedient stood up, a little incredulous.
The subordinate kneeling in the room was arranged by her to take care of Quan Sheng, and at this moment he was lying on the ground with his head resting on his arms, and his body was trembling.
"Why don't you look for it!" Li Guifei was also a little anxious, and drank a snort, and the expedient also took into account that he would not have time to go out with him.
Kwon Sung's personal guards took Quan to his house, and the door was wide open, and no one was seen.
"His Royal Highness said that he would stay in the house alone and ask the slave not to follow, but when Xiaohe found it, the slave was relieved that the person was gone."
Quan Yiyi walked cautiously, inspecting the surroundings, the little guy behind her suddenly fell to the ground, she turned to see no one, just about to roll up her sleeves but forgot the wedding dress she was wearing, and the crossbow arrow was not on her body.
When he turned his head and was about to rush out the door to call for help, a low voice came from inside the house, "Don't make a sound, or your brother will die."
She looked solemn, looked around, narrowed her eyes, and was very alert: "Who is it? Come out!"
As soon as the screen in front of her moved, she stared at the screen tightly, two black-clothed people came out of it, pushed the screen open, Quan Sheng seemed to be knocked unconscious, leaning back in the chair, she frowned: "Who are you and what is your purpose."
The two men in black glanced at each other, one of them drew a knife against Quan Sheng's neck, and the other confronted her, "Seventh Princess, will you come with us?"
The expediency curled the corners of his lips and said disdainfully, "Who are you?"
The man in black sneered, her head began to sink down, her eyes were blurry when she looked at the things in front of her, and she began to stand unsteadily under her feet, she held on to the table in pain, and then she saw the incense burner burning behind the screen, it was the problem of the incense, who was going to come to such a thing on her wedding day.
She didn't have time to think about anything, and she fell to the ground as soon as it was dark.
The man in black put away his knife, walked over to pick up the expediency, and left through the window.
In the main hall, the emperor Quan Duo sat in the first place, the bright yellow dragon robe, looking majestic and solemn, and next to him was the queen wearing flowers and branches, radiant and radiant!
She is a ***, the princess's marriage and marriage affairs have been taken away, so naturally this farewell can no longer be absent. Also following were the Quan Wenju sisters and brothers.
Quan Wenjin is the prince, it is reasonable to send his imperial sister to marry, and it is also to support the royal sister's marriage, Quan Wenshu is here to beg the queen, Ji Fu welcomes the princess, and the marriage of ordinary girls is different, he wants to come to the emperor to thank him, and listen to some teachings to be expedient.
So Quan Wenju wanted to come to meet Ji Fu when he got married, but he didn't know if he thought about his wish.
The bell in the palace rang again, the emperor's brows were furrowed more and more tightly, before the bell rang, expedient should have come to the main hall, thank the emperor, this is not only not before the bell rings, the bell is not struck yet.
The queen could see the thoughts of the priests,
lowered his eyes and raised them to change into a smile: "Your Majesty, maybe it's been a long time since you dressed, and it's been delayed, and this welcoming team hasn't come yet, so don't worry!" Away from the concubine, she will remind the princess."
Quan Duo glanced at her, nodded in approval, and the queen suggested, "Why don't the concubines send someone to urge?"
The emperor was silent, it was regarded as acquiescence, and the queen turned around and waved her hand, and the maid beside her took the order out.
Quan Wenjin sat up straight, and looked at the maid in front of him with some disdain, Ji Fu has always been unruly, this expedient has been so arrogant and rude to him for a long time, hum, I don't know how thick the sky is!
As soon as the palace maid went out, Gonggong Su stopped people in, trotted to the center of the hall, and bowed: "Your Majesty, the concubine sent someone to report, the princess and the little highness are gone."
"What did you say, what's going on?" The emperor slapped the table and stood up, scolding.
Gonggong Su's feet were soft, but he didn't dare to stop, "I was going to come over to thank you, but Your Highness didn't see her, so everyone spread their hair to look for it, and after looking for a circle, they didn't find His Royal Highness, and when they came back, the princess was gone, only His Royal Highness's personal servant was knocked unconscious."
"Your Majesty, don't worry, this is the Imperial Palace, heavily guarded! Why don't you interrogate that little guy!" The queen stood up to soothe.
The emperor strode forward, and Gonggong Su and the others hurriedly followed behind.
At that time, Concubine Li almost fainted because of a moment of emotion, and was helped aside to rest, and there was a maid next to her who took incense to relieve her.
Quan Pei stepped forward and bowed: "Father!"
The Emperor glanced around, frowned, and asked, "What's going on?" What about that little guy!"
"Just woke up, bring it up!"
Then, two guards came up with the knocked out guy and pushed him to the ground, he saw the person in front of him clearly, trembling and begging for mercy: "The emperor spares his life, the slave doesn't know anything, he was knocked unconscious, and he begs the emperor to spare his life."
The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was an aura of danger all around him, "Your Royal Highness has disappeared, where are you, why don't you take care of it closely?"
"Back to the emperor, His Royal Highness said that he wanted to stay alone, and didn't let the slave follow, the slave should die, and the two masters who were negligent for a while are gone, and the slave should die!" As he spoke, he suddenly got up and slapped himself.
"Father, it's not like he's telling a lie, it's normal that he doesn't know martial arts and doesn't notice being knocked unconscious." Kwon Bae glanced at him and pleaded for him.
"Second Emperor Brother, how do you know that he is not pretending?" Quan Wenjin suddenly spoke, walked to the waist in front of the little servant, and looked at him condescendingly, "This kind of *** person is the best at playing tricks, father, Yi'er Chen should be immediately imprisoned in the Torture Division, and you will gain a good beating."
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't, it's not the best strategy to bend into a trick, our purpose now is to find people." Kwon Bae snorted, dissatisfied with his words.
Quan Wenjin sneered and pointed at the little servant, "Such a cheap slave, you can't find out if you don't torture and interrogate you, there is no clue how we can find out the person, the second emperor brother has other opinions, you might as well say it and tell your father."
"Enough, what a quarrel, nothing at all, what a system! Hold this person in custody and be interrogated at any time!" The emperor shouted, interrupted the dispute between the two, imprisoned the little guy, and glanced at Quan Wenjin meaningfully.
Quan Wenjin's back was cold, and he lowered his head weakly.
"Pei'er, have you checked the house, but is there anything different?" The Emperor asked again.
Quan Pei nodded and waved at the guard, who brought an incense burner and a jade pendant scattered by Quan Pei. The emperor's eyes grew deeper.
