Volume 1: Yuan Guo Chapter 3: The Great Wedding and Entering the Palace
03 got married and entered the palace
It was late autumn, and the morning wind was already bitterly cold, and Yun Zhi was lying on the wall of Haoran Zhai, letting the cold wind beat.
The sky has just dawned, and the lights are still on in Haoran Zhai, reflecting on the window paper, leaving two faint figures.
That person hasn't left yet?
Yun Zhi tightened the clothes on her body, stared at the figure on the window, and secretly planned in her heart that as soon as they left, she would immediately go in and look through the books related to the empress!
However, the wind was blown for a long time, and the people inside did not move.
Not far away, in his yard, there was a faint cry that Xinsui couldn't find the second miss.
There was no way, Yun Zhi had to climb down the wall and want to go back to the yard first.
Lu Shenjun pushed the door out at this time.
Seeing my sister standing in the corner of the courtyard, she was slightly stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward, unfastening her cloak and draping it on her, while saying with a little reproach: "Early in the morning, what are you doing standing here?" If the wind blows, won't you be sick again? ”
Yun Zhi subconsciously looked behind him and asked curiously, "What about that person?" ”
The hand that was tying the cloak paused slightly, Lu Shenjun raised his eyes to look at her, turned around and looked back, and said strangely: "What person?" ”
Yun Zhi was stunned for a moment, and blinked his eyes twice, "Just ...... Just ......"
"You're wrong, no one." Lu Shenjun interrupted her words softly, and then took her wrist, "Let's go, I'll send you back." ”
The tone is soft, but there is no room for criticism.
Yun Zhi didn't dare to squeak anymore, so he just let him lead him to his yard.
At this time, she had already seen that everyone in the Lu family of their Anguo Mansion was extremely intelligent, and the slightest misdemeanor would be immediately noticed.
Especially the second son of the Lu family in front of him, who was only twenty years old, sat in the position of the chief envoy of the Criminal Prosecution Department, and the Criminal Prosecution Department specializes in criminal detectives to judge cases, his eyes are vicious, in front of him, Yun Zhi does not dare to slack off.
When he arrived at the courtyard, Lu Shenjun didn't enter the door, and stood at the door and watched Yun Zhi enter the door before leaving.
Yun Zhi looked out through the crack in the door, and when he saw him leaving, he dared to come out with a long sigh of relief.
I couldn't go to Haoran Zhai, so Yun Zhi held the "Zhongzhou Atlas" and read it carefully for two days, although he already had a general understanding of the world he was in, but there were no other clues about the handwritten book of the Empress of Yanguo.
Seeing that the wedding date was approaching, Yun Zhi began to get anxious.
In the past few days, she has not heard Xinsui whispering in her ear about her marriage partner, that Ning Wang Huan Chengyao is not better fooled than Lu Shenjun, although he is deaf and dumb, but he is ruthless, he dared to poison his brother when he was a teenager, although he failed in the end, but it is obviously not a good master to get along with.
The most important thing is that because King Ning did his own thing, although he was the only prince in this Yuan Kingdom who stayed in the capital Luozhou, the emperor refused to give him a mansion for a long time, and only let him live in Zhaoyun Palace in a corner of the palace, even if he was going to marry a wife and start a family now, the emperor had no intention of letting him move out.
She can still maneuver in this mansion, if she really marries into that palace, thinking about the plots in those palace fighting dramas, Yun Zhi feels that her scalp is numb, according to her skills, I am afraid that she will not even survive the first episode. And it's not realistic to run away from marriage at the moment, she can't even recognize all the words here, and it is estimated that she won't be able to hold even half an episode if she escapes.
Not only was he worried about the marriage in a few days, but he was also eager to know more about the empress's handwriting.
Yun Zhi sighed for several days, and was worried when Lu Shenjun came.
Lu Shenjun entered the door and began to tell stories, from the historical stories of Zhongzhou to the glory of the family, Yun Zhi listened to it for a long time, and finally understood that the second young master had heard those people with broken mouths say that she had begun to sigh again in the past few days, afraid that she would not be able to think about it and go to the lake again.
He was still talking at length, Yun Zhi was sleepy when he heard it, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "Brother, did King Ning save your life?" ”
Lu Shenjun was stunned for a moment, and actually nodded: "That's right!" ”
"...... "No wonder he is so willing to marry his sister, Yun Zhi was still puzzled before, this Lu Yunzhi and Lu Shenjun are twins who grew up eating and dressing together, how can he be willing?" It turned out that King Ning really saved his life.
Lu Shenjun said again: "His Royal Highness is actually not as unbearable as it is rumored outside, although he has shortcomings, he also has outstanding points. ”
Yun Zhi's heart was horizontal, he held his breath for a long time, and held back a few tears, trying to arouse his brother's conscience: "But I don't like him." ”
"Lu Yunzhi, you should know." Lu Shenjun's expression became solemn and serious, and his voice did not fluctuate at all: "If you are favored, you should bear it, and everyone in the Anguo Mansion is no exception, including you." ”
This is the first time in these days that she has heard her second brother call her by name and surname, Yun Zhi was stunned, quickly lowered his eyes to hide his emotions, and reluctantly responded: "Okay." ”
After being silent for a long time, Lu Shenjun suddenly sighed, "This marriage is given by the king, so my sister Lu Yunzhi can only die after becoming Princess Ning, and she must not die in the Anguo Mansion before she gets married." Do you understand? ”
The last sentence also deliberately accentuated the tone, Yun Zhi listened to this inexplicable sentence, and felt unlucky, and when he raised his eyes to look over, he saw that Lu Shenjun seemed to have a deep meaning in his eyes.
After Lu Shenjun said this, he left, Yun Zhi pondered for a long time, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
This guy is teaching himself to die after marrying!
Now Yun Zhi has a bottom in his heart.
When there were still three days before the wedding, Yun Sheng, the eldest lady of the Lu Mansion who was about to get married on the same day as her, came to see her again.
When the two sisters were chatting, Yun Zhi deliberately led the topic to Yanguo.
Lu Yunsheng is well-read, so he naturally knows more, and when he saw that she was interested, he said a few more words.
From her, Yun Zhi obtained a key piece of information: the Empress of Yanguo had a handwritten book, which was being stored in the Imperial Library Building in the Inner Palace of the Imperial City.
Yun Zhi suddenly looked forward to the wedding.
For the remaining three days, she was almost counting the seconds.
Finally arrived on the day of the wedding, Yun Zhi couldn't wait to get into the sedan chair to pick up the relatives, and saw that the elders of the Lu Mansion and the people who came to pick up the relatives were stunned for a long time.
Two sedan chairs set off from the Anguo Mansion together, and sent into the Yuan Palace together, two Lu family ladies dressed in wedding dresses and red hijabs were helped into the royal palace banquet dedicated to the Xiyuan Palace, in the emperor and the princes and nobles and the officials under the common witness, and their respective husbands worshipped, after that, the emperor delivered a wedding message, and then the newlyweds were grateful, the brides were sent back to their respective palaces, and the groom officials stayed to toast with everyone.
In the Zhaoyun Palace in a corner of the palace.
Because he had barely slept last night, Yun Zhi sat alone on the bed covered with soft jackets for a while, and he couldn't help but start yawning. Finally, when she heard that there was no sound outside, she quietly tore off the red hijab covering her head, and saw that there was indeed no one in the hall, so she began to get up and look around.
The palace is really worthy of being a palace, everywhere is golden, and the palace is arranged with a lot of red tents for happy events, and the gold and red complement each other under the candle flames, which makes the original cheesy gold give birth to some hazy beauty.
Yun Zhi yawned while observing the location of the doors and windows in the hall, and took a plate of pastries on the table, filling his stomach, and at the same time, he also began to think about where it would be more convenient to go out for a while.
Finally found a place outside the window without a palace attendant, Yun Zhi observed by the window, and after confirming that no one was passing by, he began to disassemble his headdress - there are many bridal hair accessories, which will affect his next actions.
It was only halfway through the demolition when two messy footsteps suddenly came from the outer hall.
Yun Zhi was shocked, and hurriedly threw the hairpin in his hand under the table, jumped back to the side of the bed in two or three steps, and quickly pulled over the hijab that he threw aside.
By the time the messy footsteps stepped into the inner sanctum, she was already sitting very upright.
King Ning came back so soon? She's going to the Imperial Library!
What to do, what to do? Directly give him a knife to stun people? No, this person is ruthless, I'm afraid that he will take revenge when he wakes up, what else can I do......
Yunzhi is calm on the surface, but the heart is magnificent.
Just as she was thinking, a heavy smell of alcohol came to her face, and someone was thrown beside her.
Immediately after that, the man seemed to crawl into the bed twice, and it seemed that someone had covered him with a quilt?
What's going on?
Yun Zhi couldn't see the situation outside, and was wondering, when suddenly, a deep male voice sounded slowly, and his tone was very respectful: "Princess, Your Highness is drunk, you should rest early." ”
After a pause, he added: "By the way, Your Highness, he can't hear or speak, if the princess has anything, she can call me directly, and I will be outside the palace." ”
After speaking, he was about to go out, but Yun Zhi hurriedly stopped him: "No...... What's your name? ”
doesn't leave a name, just let people call him if they have something, I'm afraid this person is not lacking in heart.
The man's footsteps paused, and he seemed a little embarrassed, "Gu Zhuliu." ”
Gu Zhuliu?
Yun Zhi had heard this person mention it before, he was King Ning's personal guard and sign language interpreter, and he was inseparable from King Ning on weekdays, but now it seems that it is really true.
After Gu Yiliu left the inner hall, Yun Zhi dared to tear off the hijab on his head again.
Turning around, she saw that King Naning was facing away from her, and it looked like he was already asleep wrapped in a small quilt.
Yun Zhi tentatively called out to him, "That...... His Royal Highness King Ning? ”
Nothing happened.
She raised her hand and poked him lightly twice on the shoulder, "Really asleep?" ”
Still nothing happens.
God help me!
Yun Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, quickly removed the remaining headdress, took off the wide robe and threw it at the foot of the bed.
After thinking about it, he blew out the candle at the bedside again.
After doing all this, she glanced at the person wrapped in the quilt on the bed again, and saw that the person was indeed asleep, so she turned around and walked to the window that she had just stepped on, and flipped out lightly.
As soon as she jumped out of the window, the person who was "drunk and asleep" on the bed lifted the quilt and sat up.
