Chapter 359: The Surprise Imperial Princess
Then came the sound of drums, which were played by the players outside. Immediately afterwards, the second prince Lu Hao walked in from outside.
Previously, Lin Qingwan had not witnessed the true face of the second prince, and he didn't know what kind of person this second prince was.
When he walked in front of her with the second prince, he carefully examined the appearance of this prince. Lu Hao, because he has been fighting in the frontier all the year round, his eyebrows and eyes are full of righteousness.
The figure is also relatively burly. Compared to Chu Fuyan, he is about half a head taller. And he walked in a hurry, his eyes staring at the front of him with the demeanor of a general.
After the second prince came in, he first asked Emperor Dongjia for a peace. "The sons and daughters visit their father. ”
Dongjiadi was very happy, because this son often won battles for him on weekdays, and now he is willing to marry a wife and have a son, Jiang Huang's family, which is really gratifying to him.
"Haha, my good son, get up. Today is your day of great joy. Don't do these rituals anymore. ”
Emperor Dongjia's smiling beard trembled, and he was a little happier when he looked at it. "Someone. Present my reward. ”
The emperor clapped his hands, and then about a dozen eunuchs came up with some red cloth covered rewards. The red lid was lifted, and everyone looked surprised.
These rewards include not only gold, silver, and jewelry, but also some treasures that are hard to find. Some were even the emperor's private collections.
Everyone has seen gold, silver, and jewelry. It's just that there is a thousand-year-old ginseng tree in the reward, which is the most popular among everyone.
It is often said that this life can not only make people live longer, but also have the miraculous effect of curing all diseases. Thousands of years of life are even more difficult to find. Now the emperor is willing to give this piece of heart to the second prince, which is enough to see his love for the second prince.
"Emperor, are you satisfied with these rewards? The Emperor smiled.
This thousand-year-old ginseng is, of course, the meat of his heart. It's just that there is more than one piece of meat in the heart. In the emperor's heart, the second prince is too threatening and ambitious.
A great deal of military power is in the hands of you. It will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the subsequent ascension to the emperor. If you like it, you can't let him hold all the military power in his hands.
Now that such a reward is given, there will definitely be people who are angry at the second prince. I think this will weaken some of his power. Sacrifice a thousand-year-old ginseng in exchange for huge benefits, why not?
The emperor's foresight, but everyone could not see clearly. Even Lin Qingwan really thought that these rewards were just used for the dowry of the second prince.
"Thank you, Emperor Xie, your sons must contribute more to the Dongjia Kingdom. The second prince looked very happy. But he also knows his father deeply in his heart.
Then the emperor said nothing. Immediately afterwards, the imperial concubine went outside the main hall.
"The second princess has arrived. The eunuch reported again. Immediately, I saw that there were about dozens of palace maids. Surrounded by the young lady and the second princess, I don't know which one it was, came in.
Everyone was also curious. They all scratched their heads to see who this legendary second princess was, and they actually made the second prince who came back from the frontier look at him.
But the imperial concubine covered her head with a hijab, and everyone couldn't see her face clearly. The palace maids around the imperial concubine were scattering flower petals, causing her whole person to look hazy.
Lin Qingwan was also very curious, and followed to look at the second princess carefully. It's also strange to say. I couldn't see the faces of the two princesses, but I always felt that her figure was a little familiar.
Especially her aisle position. It's like a person next to me before. Who was it? She couldn't remember for a moment.
The second imperial concubine had already walked to the center of the main hall at this time, standing straight beside the second prince. Two people look very suitable. It's like a match made in heaven.
The emperor was also very happy, his eyes narrowed with a smile, as if there was only one slit left. Followed by. The officiant of the wedding stood in front of them.
Originally, this prince's concubine was different from civil marriage. But the second prince insisted on holding it in accordance with folk etiquette. So I found this person who officiated at the marriage contract.
"Worship heaven and earth. The two people followed the words and first worshiped heaven and earth, "The second worship the high hall." Then he turned around and bowed to Emperor Dongjia and Empress Yue.
"Husband and wife worship each other. "This concubine ceremony can't go back to the cave room after the husband and wife worship each other, so the host didn't say anything.
Watching the two of them kneel and bow, Lin Qingwan actually felt that the posture of the imperial concubine was a little familiar, as if Lin Yanruo had entered Chu at the beginning
The posture of worshipping Chu Fuyan at the time of the house.
It's impossible to think too much about it. Lin Yanruo has long since disappeared. How could she become the second prince's imperial concubine now? She didn't even know who the second prince was.
But then Lin Qingwan had a burst of unexplained palpitations. It felt like something was about to happen.
At this time, she couldn't care about it so much. This concubine ceremony is not just a matter of coming and leaving as soon as you want, and there is no way for me to leave now.
After kneeling, the two stood in the middle of the hall. "Greetings to my father. I saw that the two imperial concubines bowed to the emperor alone.
The emperor was very happy. "Good, great, reward quickly. ”
With a wave of his hand, a eunuch next to him went up. Holding a small lacquered wooden box, he stood next to the second imperial concubine. The box looks very delicate, and the carvings on it are also very detailed.
With the second imperial concubine opened, it was a phoenix hairpin that the emperors of previous dynasties rewarded the imperial concubine. This hairpin is not just for decoration. It is also a symbol of identity and status.
"Father Xie. From the second princess just now, she spoke. Lin Qingwan felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Could it be that this person she had seen before?
Not daring to think about it, she quickly picked up the grapes next to her and ate them. After the worship, it is the performance of the concubine ceremony.
A bunch of dancing girls came from outside. Start dancing to beautiful music. Lin Qingwan was never interested in these, so he didn't watch them carefully.
The second prince remained in the main hall, but the imperial concubine was arranged in the house. I can't see it, and I'm very curious.
"Wanwan, what are you looking at?" Chu Fuyan noticed his little head that had been shaking. Hurriedly asked.
Lin Qingwan was afraid that he would misunderstand that he was looking at the second prince, so he hurriedly explained. "I'm not looking at the second princess, I just want to know which young lady the second princess is. ”
Hearing her explain like this, Chu Fuyan didn't smile, thinking that he was a little cute. "Okay, don't look at it, everyone has been sent to the house. If you want to see it, you'll have a chance to see it later. ”
is also a person who can often enter and leave the palace, and he is not afraid of not seeing a mere second imperial concubine. She felt a little comforted in her heart, and she stopped looking at it all the time.
But most of the people at this banquet were drinking. And she didn't want to watch the dance. After staying for a while, I was a little bored. "Husband, I want to go outside to breathe. ”
But breathing, Chu Fuyan naturally didn't worry about her. It's just that she is still a little dangerous alone, so she let May go with her.
Lin Qingwan walked down the corridor. The scent of flowers here made her mood much better, and it was much stronger than the smell of wine in the hall.
After strolling around for a while, she felt a little bored, and just wanted to return to the main hall, but was stopped by a mediocre-looking maid.
She hadn't seen this maid in the palace on weekdays, and she thought it was very strange. "Why are you, palace maid, blocking my way?"
The palace maid was not panicked, she was very calm. "Miss Lin. I am the maid of the second imperial concubine. Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine has something to discuss with you. ”
Discuss with her? These two imperial concubines have never seen each other, so what is there to discuss. "The little girl and the second princess have never met. Nothing negotiable. I hope the second princess will forgive me. ”
After speaking, Lin Qingwan turned his head and wanted to leave. Because he realized that something was wrong, he didn't want to continue to consume with this palace maid.
"Miss Lin, please wait a moment. Please read this before you decide whether to go or not. As she spoke, the maid took out something wrapped in a white cloth from her cuff.
"How do I know what this is, you open it and let me see. Lin Qingwan was afraid that there were some hidden weapons and poisonous powder hidden in this white cloth. Let this palace maid open it first.
The palace maid lifted the white cloth very calmly. Only then did I find that the white cloth was filled with a step shake. The step shake was very familiar, and before Lin Qingwan could react, the palace maid spoke again.
"Miss Lin. This is a step shake taken off by the second imperial concubine from the phoenix crown. She said, "Once you've seen it, you'll understand." ”
As soon as the Seiko girl explained this, Lin Qingwan suddenly reacted, this kind of thing can only be used by the princess when she marries.
This means that the identity of the second imperial concubine is not just an ordinary woman, she frowned.
"You take me to make it clear to Young Master Chu. Sword Spirit Qingwan promised the palace maid that she would not stop stopping her, and let him go back to the main hall first to explain things to Chu Fuyan.
After listening to Lin Qingwan's explanation, Chu Fuyan was very worried. This matter is strange, and the purpose of the second princess is not clear, which is very dangerous.
But Lin Qingwan said that no one needed to follow. Because he knew that this matter could implicate a series of people. So it's inconvenient to let those guards know.
Seeing Lin Qingxuan's insistence, Chu Fuyan agreed to let her go alone.
After all, Lin Qingwan couldn't refuse the royal family's invitation no matter what.
She went out and followed the maid to a room. There was only one candle lit in the room, and it looked a little dim. But Lin Qingwan was not afraid.
Maybe it was because of the darkness that she was a little sleepy when she stayed. Just as she was drowsy, the door creaked and woke up.
Lin Qingwan raised his eyes and found that a woman wearing a xia cloak stood at the door and walked in. At first, it was the backlight, and she felt that the woman's face was a little unclear.
When she approached the woman, when she arrived at the house, she was surprised, she didn't expect that this second princess would be her!
That's right, what appears in front of Lin Qingwan's eyes now is Lin Yanruo, who suddenly disappeared from Chu Mansion a few months ago.
That face was right in front of her now, staring at her fiercely.
