Although it is summer, it is not too hot. In Liangdu, early in the morning, the streets were full of joy. The red carpet was spread from the palace to the city gate. Red silk and satin were flying on the trees on both sides of the street. The people on both sides came early.
Fatty was standing guard on the street, looking at the red carpet in the middle, as if he was waiting for something.
From early in the morning, the topic everyone was talking about was the marriage of Princess Zhaoyang.
"Princess Zhaoyang is so lucky. I heard that Emperor Nan Yao was extremely handsome, and he is also a rare virtuous person."
"That's right. Once our East Yue Kingdom marries Nan Yao Kingdom, from now on, the world will be at peace."
"What a blessing in the world."
…
In front of the palace gate
The gorgeous phoenix chariot was surrounded by crowds. To be precise, they were surrounding the woman in a bright red wedding dress in front of the phoenix chariot.
Looking at the people in front, the father, the queen, the mother-in-law, aunts, and people from other palaces, are they all here to see her off? The princess is marrying far away, what a grand event. Mu Zhaoyang bites Hong tightly
Lip, has this day finally come? Will she finally leave this place where she has lived for more than ten years?
Mu Yangtian looked at his daughter who was about to marry far away. The majestic face in the past had a hint of aging today. He said in a deep voice: "Zhaoyang, after marrying to Nanyao Kingdom, you can no longer be the same as before in the palace.
So willful."
"Zhaoyang..." Concubine Rou bit her lip, her eyes filled with tears, and her beautiful face full of pain. Beside her, several maids supported her, for fear that she would faint accidentally.
Looking at her father and mother, Mu Zhaoyang couldn't help but shed tears. She knelt on the ground, kowtowed heavily, and said in a tearful voice: "I will obey your father's teachings. I will no longer be filial."
My father, the emperor, and my mother are pregnant, so please take care of your health and take good care of your mother and concubine."
"Zhaoyang... no, my Zhaoyang..." Listening to these words, Concubine Rou felt even more heartbroken. Even though her Zhaoyang was willful in the past, he still loved her as the mother-in-law. Now.
Before leaving, she still cared about her so much, which only made her even more reluctant to leave.
On the side, Queen Gao Yueli glanced at Concubine Rou and said with a smile: "Concubine Rou, what are you doing? Now that Princess Zhaoyang has married into Nanyao Kingdom, it is a great happy event. On this happy day
, it’s unlucky for you to cry like this.”
After hearing these words, Mu Xuening's face darkened and she said indifferently: "It's not like the queen is marrying her daughter. How can the queen understand Concubine Rou's mood?"
"I am the queen, and I treat Zhaoyang as if I were my own child. Could the eldest princess be saying that I am not treating Zhaoyang well?" Gao Yueli retorted.
Mu Xuening was noncommittal, "Whether the Queen is good to Zhaoyang or not, the Queen knows it, Zhaoyang knows it, how can I know?"
"That's true. I have forgotten that the eldest princess stayed in the mountains for a period of time to eat vegetarian food, don't you think so?" Gao Yueli covered her mouth with ridicule on her face.
As soon as these words came out, all the concubines lowered their eyes and did not dare to say a word. Their status could not interfere with the conversation between the eldest princess and the queen.
Glancing at the people around her, Mu Xuening said indifferently: "I think that the queen eats too much meat and fish, which makes her head unclear and dizzy."
"What did you say..." Gao Yueli's expression froze and he said angrily.
Next to him, Mu Yangtian frowned and snorted coldly, "Why are you making so much noise...you don't think I'm bothered enough?!"
"I..." Gao Yueli opened her mouth and looked at Mu Yangtian in shock. He did not give her face in public.
Mu Yangtian's eyes widened and he said coldly: "Since you know that you are a queen, you must have the sense of a queen. Otherwise, go back to your Fengzao Palace."
Glancing at Mu Yangtian, Gao Yueli twitched the corner of her mouth, then turned her head and looked forward, her eyes full of anger. He was really partial to his sister, hmph, she wouldn't let it go like this!
At this time, Mu Qingyuan came over. Today he was wearing armor and holding a helmet in his hand, looking somewhat like a general.
"Father, the auspicious time has come." Mu Qingyuan said respectfully.
Mu Yangtian nodded, looked around, and said, "Where is the Sixth Prince?"
Hearing this, Mu Qingyuan's eyebrows moved slightly. He lowered his eyes and said, "My son sent someone to rush the sixth brother, but there is no one in his house. How about I send someone to look for him again?"
Mu Yangtian frowned, and he suddenly turned around and looked at Mu Kexiang who was standing behind him, "Did something happen? Why don't you see the Sixth Princess?"
Mu Kexiang looked at Mu Qingyuan in front of him, and then said to Mu Yangtian, "I don't know..."
Glancing at Mu Kexiang, Gao Yueli said: "I'm afraid that our Sixth Prince cannot be moved by anyone. In his eyes, it's just Princess Zhaoyang who is marrying far away, so what does it matter to him?
.”
As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of discussion among the ministers who had followed to send the bride off.
With a cold snort, Mu Yangtian looked ahead with a sullen face.
Mu Xuening frowned. She glanced around, but her heart sank slightly. Today was Zhaoyang's wedding. No matter whether Jingnan didn't like the queen, he should have come back. Even if he didn't come, according to Yan'er's temperament, she
It should come as well. Did something happen?
…
Listening to the conversation between Mu Yangtian and the others, Mu Zhaoyang looked around. Yes, from the time she came out until now, he has not seen Sixth Brother and Sixth Sister-in-law at all. Are they particularly disappointed with her? So even
Finally, I came to see her off, but I didn’t want to...
Mu Yangtian looked ahead and said in a deep voice: "Since the auspicious time has arrived, let's set off."
"Yes!" Mu Qingyuan accepted the order, turned around, looked at those people, and said loudly: "Get ready to go!"
"Zhaoyang, Zhaoyang..." Concubine Rou was anxious and was about to pounce, but the person behind her caught her.
Are we about to set off? Mu Zhaoyang stood up slowly with the help of the maid. She glanced at Concubine Rou in front of her, "Concubine..." She shouted in a low voice, then turned around and went up to the phoenix chariot.
Mu Qingyuan said goodbye to Mu Yangtian, got on his horse and headed forward, the entire ceremonial guard also moved.
"Zhaoyang, Zhaoyang..." Concubine Rou broke away from the maids and ran forward... Then, she was caught by the maids and eunuchs who were chasing after her. Her shrill voice lingered in the palace for a long time.
Through the bead curtain, Mu Zhaoyang looked at Concubine Rou's painful expression. She shouted loudly, "Concubine, please take care of yourself. My daughter will come back to see you..."
"No, Zhaoyang..."
Mu Zhaoyang put down the bead curtain, bit her lip and looked ahead. She had no way out, no way out.
Looking at the departing sedan curtain, Mu Xuening suddenly said: "Back then, I was like this, going to get married. At that time, you refused to say anything, but this time, why, why didn't you object..." She will never forget
On that day, the Queen Mother asked her to go to the Snowland Country with her relatives. At that time, those people tied her up and put her on a sedan chair. But at the critical moment, her royal brother came and ordered people to dismantle the sedan chair on the spot. He put down the words and said, Princess Yongning
Heavenly nobles will never be able to get married.
Did she remember what happened back then? The sedan chair in front of her was getting farther and farther away. It was as if everything from that year was still in front of her. Mu Yangtian closed his eyes slightly and said, "I often think about the reason why I stopped you from marrying far away back then.
right or wrong."
After hearing this, Mu Xuening sneered, turned and left.
After Mu Yangtian left, the people in front of the palace gradually dispersed. Looking at the departing figure, a cold look flashed across Gao Yueli's face. She said to Xiuhe beside her: "Send someone."
Go and tell the Fourth Prince that he will come back as soon as he is delivered." It should be just in time for her plan.
"Yes!" Xiuhe nodded.
…
In front of Linglong Pavilion, Xia Ge stood at the door, looking at the scene outside, frowning, "There is still no news about the young lady, and there is also no trace of Yan Lingxiao."
"Yeah, one night has passed, and there has been no news from Xuelou. Leng Xue doesn't know where he has gone, and he can't be contacted. If he is here, maybe there will be clues. It's really worrying.
I don’t know what’s going on with the Sixth Prince.” Qiu Yuan held her chin in her hand with a sad look on her face.
Bishui stepped forward and said dissatisfiedly: "I don't think there is any need to count on the Sixth Prince. If it weren't for him, the young lady wouldn't have suffered from the poison. Now that Princess Zhaoyang is married far away, he probably won't have time to care about the young lady now."
Bar."
After hearing this, Xia Ge shook his head and said, "Bishui, don't talk nonsense. I believe the Sixth Prince really wants to find the young lady." When he came here to find them yesterday, he was full of hostility.
It really shocked them. His cold face was full of solemnity, and his eyebrows had not relaxed since the moment he came in. If such a man could not be believed, then she really couldn't think of it.
Who should they trust next?
"Okay, okay, if you say that, then you can continue to believe it. Anyway, I want to find the lady by myself." Bishui pouted and said, "I don't know what Leng Xue has been doing. Usually, doesn't he care about the lady the most?
?”
As soon as these words came out, Qiu Yuan and Xia Ge were both stunned. They both looked at Bishui at the same time, with a strange look flashing in their eyes.
As if aware of Qiu Yuan and Xia Ge's thoughts, Bishui's face froze, and then she turned away and whispered: "You don't have to worry about me anymore. In fact, I already knew it."
Xia Ge walked over, patted Bishui on the shoulder, and whispered: "Don't be too sad..."
Shaking his head, Bishui said with a smile: "How can I be sad? Probably only people like Miss are worthy of his love. Ha, in the final analysis, I am sorry for him. If it weren't for me, maybe he would still have a chance..." said
At this point, her eyes darkened, and this was the eternal pain in her heart.
"Don't talk nonsense. The young lady is such a delicate and clear person, but she is slower than others to wake up to the word love. But they have been together for a long time. Since he cannot make her understand this, it only means that he does not
He is not the man destined by the young lady. Look at the sixth prince, he is obviously a mortal enemy. They have not been together for a long time, but he is the man engraved in the young lady's heart." Qiu Yuan held Bishui's hand and persuaded her.
, "Now that Xiao will be nice to you, he is your destined person."
A destined person? Bishui nodded and said no more.
At this time, a voice came from outside, "Look, look, Princess Zhaoyang's phoenix chariot is here..."
"Yes, you see, it was actually the fourth prince who personally delivered the wedding."
"Didn't you say it was changed to the Sixth Prince?"
"It doesn't matter who sends it..."
…
Listening to the noise outside, Bishui came back to her senses and said in shock: "Princess Zhaoyang, wedding, why do I just think of it now..." At this point, she rushed out directly.
Qiu Yuan glanced at Xia Ge in confusion, and she was also looking at her in confusion, and the two of them followed out.
In the teahouse opposite Linglong Pavilion, a man in snow clothes gently shook his folding fan and looked at the scene below with a slight smile on his lips, "This wedding is indeed what I expected. I believe she will like it."
Shang Tan glanced down and said respectfully: "No matter what the master wishes, it will be possible."
With a satisfied smile, Yan Lingxiao closed the folding fan and said, "Let's go, we have a lot of things to do next." With that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
"Busy? I think Emperor Nan Yao is very free. At this time, he is still in Dongyue." A cold voice suddenly sounded in the private room next to him.
