Zhaorong looked into Jiang Huaiyang's cold eyes, and suddenly understood that she, the imperial brother, was not here to bless her and Xingqiu.

Her heart sank, as if she had fallen into an abyss, and her weightlessness was so enveloped that she couldn't help but feel dizzy.

She heard the new emperor speak again, "Jiang Tingxue, I can allow you to get married, but it's just the consequences, you have to think about it." ”

She was stunned for a moment before she realized that it was her name. She has been out of the palace for a long time, and even the queen mother has been calling her title, as if this is her name, and after a long time, even she herself is about to forget.

This title seems to be deeply imprinted in her blood and bones, giving her glory, and it also means that she has to bear the responsibility of being the princess of a country.

It's just that the queen mother has protected her too well, so that she has only enjoyed the benefits of being a golden branch and jade leaf all along, but she has no pity for the people and no empathy.

She actually knew that the meaning of the imperial brother calling her name was to ask her to choose between the position of the eldest princess and Cheng Xingqiu.

There is no such thing in the world to have pleasure without responsibility.

But without the identity of the eldest princess, can she still control Xingqiu, and will Cheng Zhu's still be kind to her? Someone deep inside her had already given her the answer.

She had to pretend not to understand, and turned her face to the servant on the side and scolded, "What are you doing in a daze, don't you set up a tablecloth chair for Your Majesty."

The ordered servant trembled and hurried.

Zhaorong put up a smile again, "The imperial brother is definitely tired all the way, why don't you move to the main hall and have dinner first." She thought to herself, wondering what she would do if he didn't agree.

Fortunately, Jiang Huaiyang didn't hold on all the time, bowed slightly, and went to the main hall with the servant.

As soon as the new emperor left, the atmosphere in the happy hall was much more relaxed, and several acquaintances of the Cheng family gathered together and whispered to each other.

Master Cheng felt that there seemed to be cold sweat on his forehead, raised his hand to wipe it, and instructed the praiser to continue. After the salute sang three times, he didn't see Cheng Xingqiu react.

He lowered his eyes in a daze, and although his gaze seemed to fall to the ground, it was clearly not looking there.

He was the champion of the first emperor during his reign, and the name was also read by the first emperor, and then the dynasty was changed, and there was no promotion, so the new emperor was on the throne for a month, and he never saw the holy face of the new emperor.

He didn't know the new emperor, but he wouldn't not know the face of the man in the dark clothes.

At that time, he was in the Shenghe Temple, and he saw this man standing with Ling Ling, and he remembered that he thought that the new emperor wanted to be light, so his tone was very unkind, and he didn't know if His Majesty would mind.

The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became, for fear that he would cut off his future because of one sentence. He almost wanted to rush out now and make amends to His Majesty.

It's just that he knows when he knows now, he can't just leave.

He suddenly felt a hand on his arm, and her voice was soft, "Husband-" He looked sideways, Zhaorong had already put on a hippoa, and he couldn't see her expression, but he knew that she must be frowning slightly at this time, and there was a look of sorrow in her eyes.

She lowered her voice so that only the two of them could hear her.

Cheng Xingqiu was called to a soft heart, maybe others thought that Zhaorong was willful and rude, but she would never put the eldest princess in front of her, and even took good care of him, she was completely like an ordinary daughter.

Your Majesty has every opportunity, where can he remember his little words, if this is the case, he will go to the Holy Front to mention it, that is to find something for himself. With that in mind, he put the matter aside for now.

After that, the ceremony continued.

The person who praised the salute said, "After the salute, quit the class, and send it to the cave room!" This complicated ritual is over. Two young maids led in front of them with dragon and phoenix candles, and led Cheng Xingqiu and Zhaorong all the way into the West Wing.

Because the bride is a princess, no one dares to come to the cave room. After the ceremony was completed, the sky also darkened, and Cheng Xingqiu advocated picking most of the candles in the house, and only one was left.

The faint light shone brightly, and the room was dim, only the two figures in the red tent were visible.

In Ruan Yuyi's courtyard, it was a different scene.

Although there was no one in the courtyard, the lights in the main wing room were still on, indicating that the people inside had not yet stopped. Ruan Yuyi held a white piece, and after a little thought, it fell, and the jade chess pieces and chessboard struck with a crisp sound.

She waited quietly for the wood spirit on the other side of the dwarf to drop another son.

Although there was a commotion for a while because of the sudden arrival of the new emperor, the news did not reach her because the grounding in her courtyard had not been lifted.

Mu Xiang took a cup of warm milk and knocked on the door. Seeing that Mu Ling was still taking the young lady to play here, he said, "It's not too early, if the young lady is tired, just rest, don't get used to this little girl." ”

As early as before dusk, Mu Ling turned over the chessboard and proposed to kill time with the young lady a few times.

Today, Ruan Yuyi was awakened by the noisy gongs and drums outside, and it was not until night that the noise stopped. After the feast, the guests gradually returned to their respective mansions.

Helplessly, although she was sleepy, she couldn't take a break. So he and Mu Ling went down casually for a while, not wanting to be interested, but spirited. If it weren't for Mu Xiang's call, she wouldn't have realized what time it was.

She took the milk, took a sip, and the mouth was mellow, which really hooked her sleepiness.

Hearing Mu Xiang say this, Mu Ling said angrily, "I was about to win once, but you came to interrupt me." ”

"You've been with Miss for so long, won't you lose to Miss every time?" Mu Xiang exclaimed, and then looked at her puffing appearance, she knew that she had guessed, and chuckled, "Don't let Miss let you, you can't win." ”

Before Mu Ling could refute, Mu Xiang stopped her words, "You clean up here, I'll wait for the young lady to freshen up and change clothes." Mu Ling turned his face and saw that the young lady's eyelashes were drooping, and there was a tired color between her eyebrows, so she swallowed her words back.

After everything was cleaned up, Ruan Yuyi wore long hair like a waterfall, only wore a thin undershirt, and went to bed. Mu Xiang put down the curtain for her and cut off the candle core.

"Miss," she said softly, "the slave is outside, and you have something to call me." ”

Ruan Yuyi dipped her pillow, and felt that her body was heavy, and her strength was withdrawn from her body. She was really sleepy, and when she heard the words, she hummed softly.

Then there was the sound of the door closing, and the rest of the room was silent.

The moonlight poured like water under the window. The window was pushed open, and the light on the floor became thicker. A man in a long black robe landed steadily, relaxed his steps, and walked to the side of the bed.

He stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the bed, and by the moonlight, he watched the little lady's sleeping face.

At this time, she had fallen asleep, half of her face was buried in the brocade, and she could vaguely see her delicate nose and long eyelashes, just like a resting butterfly, pulling off her wings, looking extraordinarily quiet and well-behaved, and very pleasing.

I just don't know how she will feel when she listens to the noise of gongs and drums outside today.
