Chapter 23: Qionghua's Ceremony
"Huh? Didn't Your Highness say that the bride never entered the palace together? This is..."
He Xuzhi's voice sounded again, and his tone was full of surprise.
"I'm sorry, Master He. I'm really sorry. It was my wife who made a little joke on me. In fact, she entered the palace a long time ago. She scared me!"
Lu Chengfeng pretended to wipe his forehead and temples, as if he was wiping the cold sweat off his head.
He Xuzhi glanced at Lu Chengfeng, and then at the bride next to him who was hiding her face in red sleeves and seemed shy and delicate. He couldn't help but feel extremely embarrassed, and he couldn't complain in front of the Princess of the North End.
After he met Lu Chengfeng at the palace gate just now, he hurriedly worked out an emergency plan, and then hurriedly ordered the arrangements. Unexpectedly, he was being fooled around.
He is a arrogant person who always relies on his talent. How often in the court has he suffered from being dumb and being teased like this?!
An unknown anger burned in his head, but considering the excellent situation of the marriage between Dajing and Beiduan, he hesitated to let it go, so as not to destroy the rare peaceful situation.
He had no choice but to look troubled but said harmoniously:
"It's good when people come, it's good when people come."
As he spoke, he walked away as if he was walking away.
Accidentally, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the familiar face under the red sleeves of the bride who had relaxed a little!
Isn't that his new apprentice, the new top scholar Youzi Yin?
He Xuzhi was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth and stammered:
"You, You champion?!"
Lu Chengfeng and You Zining's hearts were in their throats at the same time!!
Was this recognized by He Xuzhi?
Unexpectedly, I thought I was completely prepared, so I asked You Zining to take the doctor's prescription and a request for leave to report to He Xuzhi at the Hanlin Academy, and I could go to the palace alone for the banquet!
I never expected that You Zining would be discovered by the emperor's people and taken to the palace!
Unexpectedly, at this very moment, the two of them would cross paths with He Xuzhi, an old acquaintance!
Everything happened so unexpectedly! I had no time to think before I gave way to the wind!
But I heard a charming and gentle voice that caught Lu Chengfeng's breath!
"Have you got the wrong person, sir? How can my husband-in-law, He De, be the number one scholar in your Dajing Kingdom?"
After saying this, there was a chuckle, like a carefree oriole singing happily on the cherry blossom tree in mid-spring at night.
He Xu was shocked! He thought to himself:
What are you thinking about? The newly crowned scholar Youzi Yin is obviously a man! Those who can enter the last imperial examination room in Dajing have gone through heavy selection and strict search. How could he be a woman!
What's more, the bride of Prince Mian's Mansion in front of me, the wife of His Royal Highness Lu Chengfeng, is the Princess Gu Lun sent from Beiduan Kingdom all the way! Some people say that this Princess Gu Lun is the famous female warrior Guan Shanyue of Beiduan Kingdom.
!
How could Guan Shanyue be You Ziyin? Or has anything to do with You Ziyin?
It seems impossible even when I think about it!
Two people separated by thousands of miles, a boy and a girl, are so similar! Approximately
It's just because the world is so big and full of wonders, everything just happens by chance.
He Xuzhi was half-convinced, but in the end he chose to believe in the real-life examples in front of him.
Just when he wanted to confirm again, he saw that in a blink of an eye, Princess Beiduan had taken Lu Chengfeng's hand and walked away quietly, and now she had entered the flower hall of Qionghua Palace.
However, he still had important matters to attend to, and it happened that the festive ceremony was about to be changed again. Now he had a lot of troublesome things to do, so He Xuzhi thought about it again and again, but decided to give it up.
There is nothing he can do about His Royal Highness the Little Emperor Sun of the Dajing Kingdom and Princess Gu Lun of the North End Kingdom. How else can he save the country in a devious way and try to do it slowly?
"Why don't we ask You Zhuangyuan the next time we meet him? Let's see if he has any connection with the people in the North End? Does he have any biological sisters who are separated?"
He Xuzhi thought and murmured to himself.
Over there, He Xuzhi was still secretly worried, but over here, Lu Chengfeng and You Zining finally breathed a sigh of relief.
You Zining slapped her palms beside her ears and muttered:
"I'm scared to death. I'm scared to death that I would meet Master here! I thought he was also compiling the "Yonghe Dadian" in the Hanlin Academy today!"
"Hahaha! So you can be nervous too! I looked at you just now, and you answered very calmly even when you were in a panic! I never thought that my wife could deceive people better than me!"
Lu Chengfeng glanced at You Zining and joked.
"Fooling? What do you mean? Do you mean I'm lying? Then there's nothing I can do about it! He almost revealed my identity! I originally thought that everything would be fine after passing the emperor's test! There's nothing else in the palace.
Who has seen me? God forbids me!"
You Zining rolled her eyes at Lu Chengfeng and muttered.
"No, no, my wife's reactions are so quick! She's much better than me! I was complimenting you just now!"
Lu Chengfeng hurriedly coaxed his little wife and said with a smile.
"I met He Xuzhi at the gate of the palace early this morning. He is the Minister of Rites. The ceremony to celebrate the marriage between the two countries must be jointly organized by him and the Minister of Honglu Temple. I am not good at studying rituals and music, so I am not good at it.
Think of it earlier. It's all my fault, blame me! Madam, don't be angry."
Lu Chengfeng had a smile on his face and a very kind attitude.
"I see. I also forgot that my current identity is the Princess of Beiduan. According to our rules in Dajing, this is indeed the case. I can't blame you."
You Zining's face finally turned from gloom to smile, and she agreed.
"I guess next time you go to the Hanlin Academy to meet him, you will be chased and interrogated. Although He Xuzhi looks arrogant, he is actually very thoughtful. Otherwise, based on his qualifications, even though he is famous for his talent and learning,
It’s also impossible to reach such a high position at such an age.”
Lu Chengfeng's eyes suddenly changed, and he reminded him alertly.
"Well, if I see him next time, I will tell him that when I was a child, I had a biological sister from the same mother. She was kidnapped while watching the lanterns during the Lantern Festival. Her whereabouts are still unknown, and I don't know whether she is dead or alive. To put it this way,
what do you think?"
You Zining lowered her head and pondered, then blurted out and asked.
"Well, I think it works. If my wife writes storybooks, she should be a good expert. She will definitely be as good as those storytellers in teahouses, hahahahahaha..."
Lu Chengfeng nodded and started making jokes again.
"Okay, then I will write a romantic history of His Royal Highness the Young Emperor and Grandson of Prince Mian's Mansion, and keep it in the Capital City and it will be a big hit!"
You Zining looked around calmly with a little disdain, her nose
There was another snort of cold air, as if a jar of vinegar had been knocked over.
"Now that you are my wife, how can you be jealous? People say that deep love leads to deep punishment, and beating or scolding is love. If my wife really writes a script for me, Lu Chengfeng, I dare to take it away.
Oh my, the love story between you and me will be remembered forever from now on! It will be sung among the people day and night! Hahahahahaha..."
Lu Chengfeng waved his right eyebrow triumphantly towards You Zining and said with a wicked smile.
If we talk about talking nonsense, how can You Zining be Lu Chengfeng’s opponent!
She had no choice but to hit Lu Chengfeng with her soft little fists like a shower.
It fell on his strong chest, but it was just like lingering pear blossoms falling in the rain, making it even more sentimental and romantic.
Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but hold her tender hands in his big palms, couldn't help but rub them, leaned down, and tried to cover them with his lips.
"Cough cough cough..."
Lu Chengfeng raised his head and saw his father, Mr. Wang, walking in with his aunt, Mo Feige.
Mo Feige still had a bit of murderous anger on his face, and his eyebrows looked like he was about to start a fight.
Lu Chengfeng and You Zining quickly knelt down and saluted.
This huge palace is the best natural barrier to protect You Zining.
No matter how domineering Mo Feige was in her own palace, she would have to lower her head and speak and act carefully in the palace.
You Zining met her gaze without any timidity or fear, she just knelt down and watched her retreating back quietly.
"Let's go, madam, why don't you take a shortcut with me? How about leaving Mo Feige behind?"
Lu Chengfeng smiled.
You Zining paused silently.
Lu Chengfeng tightened her waist and gently stepped on the corolla of the butterfly-tailed red kites with her toes, trying to fly up.
"Be careful! This flower is so beautiful! Will it be broken by stepping on it?"
You Zining suddenly felt pity for the flowers and said regretfully.
"Believe me, let's see how powerful your husband is!"
Lu Chengfeng smiled evilly, and stood up in the air, flying in the wind with his toes on the fiery red butterfly-tailed kites like dragonflies touching water. You Zining was amazed when he saw them, and his starry eyes projected full of admiration and love.
"How's it going? Does it feel good?"
Lu Chengfeng was so good at it that he tried to perform a back-spinning somersault in the air, but he accidentally failed in his pretense and fell into the mud with his beautiful lady among the flowers.
He patted the dust on his body in embarrassment and stood up, only to see that the beauty on You Zining's face had turned pale, and there seemed to be little sparks of fire flickering in his eyes.
He hurriedly took advantage of her before she had an attack, then stepped forward and kneaded her in his arms, then hugged her up and said with a smile:
"Experts also make mistakes sometimes. It's not my fault that I made my wife laugh. Let's see if I do it again!"
"Don't be like this! It's so embarrassing for a man and a woman to be so close to one another in the palace! Put me down quickly, put me down! Hey..."
You Zining kept struggling in his hand.
"Madam, don't be shy! You and I are newlyweds, and everyone who came to the celebration today is here to send blessings to you and me. In this case, why do you have to worry about me!"
As Lu Chengfeng spoke, his anger sank into his dantian, and he exerted all his strength in the lotus steps under his feet.
Chapter completed!
