When we got on the carriage back to the palace, it was completely dark. Glass lamps were hung on the four corners of the carriage, which could only illuminate an area not far away.
Mingruo held her cheek with her hands and looked out the car window: "Huh?"
"What's wrong?" Si Haochen took his wife into his arms and let Mingruo lean against his chest.
"This street... is different from usual..." Mingruo observed carefully again before saying, "The street is darker than usual, and there are more people patrolling."
The main streets of the imperial capital are illuminated with wind lamps, and Jingzhao Mansion has special personnel responsible for replenishing and changing lamp oil. This long street from Fanlou to Prince Yun's Mansion is bright and bright on weekdays. Today, it is dim. If it weren't for
There were lights on the car, so it was probably difficult to tell the difference between humans and animals from a distance of one meter.
"Yeah." Si Haochen nodded noncommittally.
"I don't feel good, I always feel like something is going to happen." Mingruo scratched his chin.
"Don't worry, you'll be home soon." Si Haochen tightened his arms slightly.
"Oh." Mingruo wasn't too worried about herself and Si Haochen. If there was any danger, she could take refuge in the space at any time.
Over at the Duke's Mansion, my grandmother and grandfather are both elderly, so it's best not to be frightened.
Ming Ruo saw Si Haochen's indifferent expression: "Do you know something?"
"The clown is just causing trouble." Si Haochen helped Mingruo get out of the carriage.
The two of them were about to enter the house when they heard the clatter of horse hooves. Thanks to the cute little Linglong, Mingruo's night vision ability is also very good now - from a distance, they saw that their cousin Su You was wearing light armor.
The horse is coming.
The two of them waited for Su You to come closer. Mingruo quickly asked: "Fourth cousin, has something happened?"
"It's okay. It's just that the imperial capital will be uneasy tonight. Grandpa asked you to stay in the house and not leave the house." Su You and Si Haochen exchanged glances, and they both nodded confidently.
"I understand." It seemed that his grandfather had been prepared, so Mingruo wasn't so worried.
Su Youyou still had official business to do, so he went to do it after passing the message.
Mingruo returned to Meiyuan. After bathing and changing clothes, she was not in a hurry to go to bed. She held a copy of the Pharmacopoeia and studied hard.
Si Haochen has finished handling the official documents that have accumulated in the house these days, and does not see his wife sleeping.
Si Haochen took out the book in Mingruo's hand and put it on the table: "It's late at night, let's read it tomorrow."
"Yeah." Mingruo stretched out and listened to the noise, "It feels like it's quite peaceful outside."
"If you can hear something here, it's likely that everyone has rushed into the palace." Si Haochen poked Mingruo's forehead.
"That's right." Mingruo had forgotten that it was a long way from outside the house to Meiyuan. Even if there was any strange movement on the street, it would not be easy to hear.
"I told you not to worry but you still didn't listen..." Si Haochen directly carried his wife back to the inner room, "You actually don't believe in your husband. It seems like you should be taught a lesson."
"Don't make trouble...you are talking about serious things..." Mingruo was also convinced. How long has it been since then and he is still so unserious.
"Shhh... it's such a late night, sleeping is the most important thing." In order to punish Mingruo for not paying attention, His Highness Prince Yun directly sealed the princess's mouth with a kiss...
Mingruo had many questions in her mind, but soon she couldn't think calmly. She could only act like a snack to the big bad wolf and be eaten one by one.
Early the next morning, Mingruo helped "Lao Yao" get up from the bed. Jiyue and Zisu came in to change the princess's clothes and make up.
"Have you heard anything happened outside?" Mingruo felt that if there was really a big trouble, news would have reached the house early in the morning.
Jiyue and Zicao looked confused: "Is nothing wrong? Princess, what do you want to know? Let's go and find out for you."
"No need." Mingruo waved her hand. Instead of asking them, they might as well ask Si Haochen directly.
"Why did you bring this clothes?" Mingruo glanced at the palace clothes Zi Su was holding.
The weather is still very hot now. The clothes Mingruo wears at home are very simple and he will not wear such complicated clothes.
"The prince said that he will take you into the palace soon." Zi Su said.
"Oh." Mingruo also remembered that Si Haochen did say yesterday that he would take him to the Emperor's place for dinner today.
Mingruo and Si Haochen took a carriage to the palace. Mingruo felt that the journey this morning was much more normal than last night. Until they entered the Kuntai Palace of the Supreme Emperor, they did not notice anything unusual.
Prince Duanze happened to bring Princess Ningping to greet the Supreme Emperor. After a few salutes, they sat down and talked.
Prince Duanze was afraid that Prince Yun had something serious to say to the Supreme Emperor, so he first told his own affairs - asking the Supreme Emperor to grant a marriage between Ning Ping and Su You.
The Supreme Emperor did not rush to agree, but looked at Princess Ningping: "Yu Ning, what do you say?"
"Although I am quite thick-skinned, I will be shy if Uncle Huang asks me this." Princess Ningping looked frank, not shy at all.
"Ahem." The Emperor was amused by Princess Ningping, "Are you shy? Then why don't you blush?"
"That's probably because I used too much powder when applying makeup." Princess Ningping stuck out her tongue.
"Your imperial uncle asks this. If you are willing, just say that it is up to your father and me to make the decision. If not, just say that you want to fulfill your filial piety to your parents and discuss marriage in two years." Prince Duanze really took this point.
The girl can't help it.
"But..." Princess Ningping pursed her lips, "You can't make the decision, so why don't you ask Uncle Huang to make the decision?"
"Hahaha..." The Supreme Emperor was really amused by this upright girl, "So Yu Ning, are you going to let Gu make the decision, or should you continue to show her filial piety?"
"Filial piety must be fulfilled, but I want to honor my father, the queen, my mother and my concubine together with Brother You, and I ask your uncle to do it."
Prince Duanze laughed and scolded: "You shameless girl!"
"Okay, the daughter of our Si family should be so happy." The Supreme Emperor ordered Eunuch Hai to bring the four treasures of the study, "The sons of the Su family are all very good, and Yu Ning is very discerning in choosing the consort."
"Uncle Huang, I am not recruiting a consort, but I want to marry into the Duke's palace." Princess Ningping said seriously.
"Huh?" The Supreme Emperor raised his eyebrows, "When you marry into the Duke's Mansion, you have to serve your parents-in-law and elders. You have to think clearly."
"Yeah." Princess Ningping nodded repeatedly, "I know that the people in the Duke's Mansion are very nice, and I want to live with them."
Mingruo originally thought that Princess Ningping was just a girl waiting to be married to her cousin, and she only liked the person she loved. She never thought that her love for her was much deeper than Mingruo imagined - because if you like someone, even if you are expensive
Princess, you can also shed your pride and make soup by washing your hands and making soup like an ordinary woman.
The Supreme Emperor wrote down the decree granting the marriage and stamped it with a treasure seal. Before the seal could be put down, a group of imperial guards armed with swords suddenly broke in from outside.
