The first thousand and sixty-six chapters borrow wine to talk about things
Then, Gong Yueyue glanced at both sides with a half-smile, and kept mumbling: "...if His Highness the Sixth Prince finds out, even if there is even the slightest mistake in my Xiping Marquis Mansion, they won't tell me anything. The Marquis of Xiping's Mansion is poorly guarded and there are thieves. They thought my eighth sister-in-law was greedy and wanted to extort another luminous pearl..."
As soon as the words fell, Juhui became more and more frightened, and Zhuhui's face even turned green with fear. She just protected Juhui tightly, not even daring to take half an eye away for a moment.
Yujue on the side heard this, and was naturally so angry that she wanted to retort again, but was stopped by Ke Shi who was sitting next to the case. Ke Shi knew that the eighth sister-in-law was not really drunk, she was just talking to the people present through the wine. That’s all.
Ke's guess was good. Gong Yueyue wanted this effect. She didn't want the eye-catching night pearl to be needlessly stolen or lost before she left the Xipinghou Mansion.
In short, be careful when sailing the ship of ten thousand years!
Just like that, on the 15th day of the eighth month, Gong Yueyue and all the gentlemen of the Wu family got drunk.
As for how she returned to Zhanyun Garden in vain, how she was ridiculed by Yu Jue behind her back for not knowing how to respect herself, and how Lan Hui, who was placed beside her by His Highness the Sixth Prince, reported back without missing a word.
At first, Gong Yueyue used wine to talk things over, but later she got really drunk. Because the Wu Zan brothers came to toast her birthday one after another, so naturally she couldn't refuse.
In the morning of the next day, Gong Yueyue got up with a splitting headache. Just when she was thinking about how to deal with Zhai Yuan's mother, Xinhui came to the bed with a bowl of sobering soup: "Eighth sister-in-law, why don't you sleep a little longer? I heard that if you have a hangover, drinking this hangover soup is the most refreshing thing."
"Oh, bring it to me quickly, don't let Zhai Yuan's mother see it!" Gong Yueyue said, then reached out to take it and drank it down in one gulp.
Xinhui pursed her lips and smiled: "I think the Eighth Sister really drank too much, but she didn't know that since yesterday, Zhai Yuan's mother in the palace has been taken back by the Queen!"
Gong Yueyue slapped her forehead: "Look at me, I have forgotten such an important thing!" Then she sighed seriously: "Drinking really makes things worse, drinking makes things worse!"
The master and servant looked at each other and laughed.
Xinhui laughed for a while, then remembered something, and reported back to Gong Yueyue: "Eighth Sister, this morning, I heard that Zhai Yuan's mother in the palace has been sent to our Marquis Mansion by the Empress. I want to teach the ninth sister-in-law the palace rules and etiquette!"
The smile lines in Gong Yueyue's eyes became wider.
Xinhui smiled and glanced at Gong Yueyue, "With Mother Zhai Yuan's temperament, I don't know how Ninth Aunt will deal with herself?"
"How to deal with myself? Of course I am too tired to cope with it!" Gong Yueyue thought about the extraordinary life of etiquette and palace rules she had lived in these days, and she worried about Yujue: "Hey, I don't know how to rely on the ninth sister-in-law. With such a temperament, how to survive the long palace life..."
After worrying unfoundedly for a while, Gong Yueyue couldn't help but think of herself again: In fact, she didn't know how to survive the long royal life... She should think more about herself.
In a few days, she was really going to move into the Sixth Prince's Mansion. How to deal with herself, how to get along with the Sixth Prince, and the rumored boyfriend Rong Di of the Sixth Prince Zhao Changyuan, were really tricky things before her.
However, time seemed not to allow Gong Yueyue to think too much. Before she had time to think about the reason, the day came to August 20th very quickly.
On this day, the Xiping Hou Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. Dalang, the master of the dance palace, greeted people early in the morning and decorated the Hou Mansion with a brand new look. Wu Yao, Wu Sheng, Wu Zhong, Wu Zan, Wu Wei, Song Luo and other people As a gentleman, he took a break and returned home early, just waiting for Gong Yueyue's good news to come.
At this time, weddings in the Han Dynasty completely followed the Shihun ceremony and were held in the evening.
At dusk, I heard Wuwei shouting "Come, come" and ran into Dehe Hall: "Great Master, the Sixth Prince's chariot has almost reached the gate. The people with lanterns and torches in front are , it’s brightly illuminated all the way!”
"Hurry, hurry up and greet us outside the mansion!" The master of the dance palace, Dalang, was dressed in Xuan Duan clothes. He waved his hands and hurried forward. In the hurry, even the Xuan clothes were put on crookedly, and he kept muttering: "...this The sky has not yet darkened, and His Highness's car has arrived. This... this is too impatient..."
But he also knew that there was no need to delay, so he hurriedly followed Wu Wei and other gentlemen to the gate of the house.
Originally, Gong Yueyue's father, Wu Zheng, was supposed to be the host of the bride's ceremony, but the Nanyang prefect could not leave his post without permission, so Wuwu asked Dalang to take charge of the dance palace early in the morning and follow him to the capital to take care of the work on his behalf.
Therefore, Wu Gong has the important responsibility of welcoming the new son-in-law into his daughter's house in person.
When everyone arrived at the gate of the mansion, they saw lanterns and torches in the distance on the street as bright as day. The guards of the Sixth Prince's Mansion were all neatly dressed in Xuan Duan uniforms, closely guarding an ink cart and two cars along the way. From the car, we soon arrived at the gate of the Hou Mansion.
As soon as the car stopped, the guards quickly separated on both sides and stood in a well-trained line, waiting for the master to get off the car and salute.
Zhao Changyuan, wearing Xuanxunjue's official uniform and a light crimson skirt with a black lower edge, walked majestically from the ink carriage that was waiting for the bride.
And from the car behind, another person stepped out.
When everyone opened their eyes, they saw that they were dressed in Xuan Duan clothes, a figure who was eclipsed by the banished immortal—Rong Diye!
Dalang, the master of the dance palace, hurriedly took a few steps forward and bowed twice, facing west. Zhao Changyuan, the new son-in-law, faced east and bowed, and said loudly: "My son orders a certain person, because he has just fainted, and makes a certain general, please accept your order!"
Master Dalang said to him, "I have a beard as a tribute to you." He also bowed to his new son-in-law and invited him to come in.
So, the new son-in-law Zhao Changyuan personally held the wild goose in his hand, then entered the door and came to the lower steps of Dehe Hall.
As the male guest, Rongdi naturally followed.
After giving in three times, Lord Dalang came up to the hall and stood facing west. His new son-in-law Zhao Changyuan also came up and stood facing east. The guest Rong Di also came into the hall after him and stood facing north. Rong Di took over. Zhao Changyuan placed the wild goose in his hand on the ground and bowed twice.
Gong Yueyue, who was dressed up in the hall at this moment, was also wearing a silk dress with a light crimson edge. She wore her hair in a high bun, lightly applied pink and white, and stood facing south. As the bride's side, Ning Yuan's mother, the female teacher, Gong Yueyue is standing to the right of Gong Yueyue. The concubine Yin Jiang who is accompanying her is also wearing a hairpin and hairpin, wearing a black gift, and a single shawl embroidered with auspicious patterns. , following behind Gong Yueyue.
No matter how mixed her feelings were, Gong Yueyue also knew that she was about to leave the Xiping Hou Mansion.
Then she steadily came to the Lord Dalang and accepted the instructions from her father-in-law to leave home before marriage: "Respect her as a precept, and never disobey her orders!" She was also symbolically given clothes, hairpins and other things as support, so that she could rely on them. Don't forget the words of admonishment.
Gong Yueyue came to the west steps again to listen to the teachings of her aunt, Ke Shi.
Mr. Ke stood on the west steps with a big belly. In a glance, he caught sight of His Highness the Sixth Prince's sharp eyes that glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally. He shuddered secretly, and then he spoke earnestly without any hesitation:
"I respect you with all due respect, and I will do nothing against the palace affairs!" (To be continued)
