Chapter 208 Assassin

(Seeking collection)

When the procession to welcome the bride reaches the halfway point, there is also a saying that the bride-to-be and the bride-to-be are drinking together and blocking the float to prevent it from moving forward. At this time, it is time for Liu Ling to spread his wealth again. Fortunately, Zhong Zhong

Although the palace was frugal, the money was still available. Even though the money was usually enough to spread around for a while, Liu Ling still felt a twinge of pain just looking at it.

But now that the money has been spent, Liu Ling suddenly remembered that in his previous life, he watched other people get married. In the small county where he lived, a wife had to pay three catties. Yes, it was three catties, not three gold. Three gold.

I'm talking about gold necklaces, gold earrings, and gold rings. The concepts of these things are very general. Rich people don't care and can buy more grams. If the family conditions are not good, even if they bite the bullet and buy it,

The number of grams will also shrink a lot. Aren’t a two-gram ring and a twenty-gram ring both rings?

But Sanjin is different. Sanjin means to find a very accurate scale and put hundred dollar bills on it until you get three pounds...

This is what ordinary people say. If it were a rich family, they would be given much more. When Liu Ling was pushed out for a walk by his father one morning, he saw with his own eyes a car from the big city of Rolls.

A Royce sedan and five Audi A8s were parked at the door of a house. The person in charge of calling the door threw hundreds of dollar bills into the door. Liu Ling felt very happy and asked his father to stop and watch the excitement.

The two people's stomachs were growling with hunger. Three hours had passed, and the man was still stuffing money into the door, but the door wouldn't open...

Thinking of this, Liu Ling finally understood the mood of the groom at that time.

After enough money had been dispersed, the team continued to move forward. Because Liu Ling used a carriage instead of a sedan to welcome the bride, Lu Yuzhu saved herself a lot of jolting. If she were riding in a sedan, she would not be jolted around by the bearers.

There is also a saying for bumping the sedan chair, which means to tame the bride for the groom, so that the bride must be obedient and respectful when she arrives at her husband's house. If she wants to sit safely at her husband's house, then she must ask for mercy and add a lot of money.

Throw money.

When we arrived in front of Prince Zhong's Mansion, a large fire had been lit. The servants, dressed in red and colorful, threw the cut bamboos into the fire one by one, and the crackling sound was endless. The festive atmosphere was amidst the lively sounds of gongs and drums.

and reached its peak with the crisp sound of firecrackers.

After entering the door, the bride Lu Yuzhu was helped to worship the stove first, then worshiped the God of Heaven and Earth, and her ancestors. Then she also worshiped Gaotang, Liu Ling's parents. Liu Ling's father and mother have passed away.

Naturally, it is His Majesty Liu Zhuo who plays the role of parent today.

Emperor Xiao was very happy today, even happier than he was getting married. His mouth had never been closed since he entered Prince Zhong's palace, and his smile was bright and hearty.

After Lu Yuzhu and Liu Ling paid homage to him, Emperor Xiao ordered each of them to be rewarded with a jade pendant engraved with a winged bird, symbolizing that the two would never leave. Then Liu Ling and Lu Yuzhu also paid homage to the guests who came to watch the ceremony.

It is called a guest greeting, and then it is a couple's greeting.

After the couple bowed, they were sent to the bridal chamber. Of course, this sending into the bridal chamber was just a formality. The bride herself was sent there. Liu Ling had to go around and come back to toast the guests. Lu Yuzhu wanted to

Sitting in the bridal chamber in an orderly manner, Liu Ling would come back and lift her hijab when the guests had dispersed. The prince's wedding was full of guests, and when everyone left, Lu Yuzhu didn't know how long it would take.

There is no other way but to wait.

Just thinking that Liu Ling would come back and lift her hijab in the dead of night at the latest, Lu Yuzhu's face burned with embarrassment. She also thought of the woman invited by her mother yesterday to teach her in her ear.

Those things that could make people extremely embarrassed made her feel like a deer. She sat on the bed with her legs tightly together, as if she was afraid that something would get in. The more shy she became, the more she couldn't help but think about it.

It felt like time passed so slowly there, so unbearably.

Not long after, the sounds of guests drinking and blessing could be heard outside. Although they were far away, the sound of the crowd could still be heard clearly.

The door was pushed open from the outside, and Minhui, the little maid from Prince Zhong's Mansion, walked in gently and skillfully with a plate of snacks. She smiled kindly at Xun'er who came to greet her and said, "Your Majesty, I guess he still has to accompany the guests."

It's been a long time. Miss and you haven't eaten anything since morning, right? Let's eat and write snacks first, I guess the prince won't be able to get out of bed before midnight."

She handed the tray to Xun'er, then bowed respectfully to Lu Yuzhu, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, and said, "Slave Minhui, please give your regards to the princess."

Lu Yuzhu followed the voice and wanted to stand up to speak. Minhui quickly held her hand and said, "Princess, please do not stand up. Once you sit down on this bed, the princess cannot stand up on her own unless the prince comes back."

Lu Yuzhu said: "Thank you, Minhui. I have met you. From now on we will be a family. Xun'er, where are the gifts you prepared? Why don't you take out the ones for Minhui quickly?"

Xun'er put down the tray in her hand, knowing that the young lady wanted to appease the servants in the prince's house and establish a good image. Although Lu Yuzhu was married as a real wife and a dignified princess, she could not be petty at the beginning.

I looked at the capable servants in Prince Liu Ling's palace, otherwise I don't know whether they would do some tricks behind the scenes.

Xun'er took out two golden beans from her purse and put them into Minhui's hand, and said with a smile: "The princess asked me to prepare a meeting gift for my sister. I met my sister when I came to the palace last time. My sister's

It’s a real mark.”

Minhui blushed when she said that, and she wanted to refuse what Xun'er pushed her over, but when she thought of what sister Liu Mei'er said just now, she thanked her and put away the golden beans. In this era,

Gold and silver are not currencies in circulation, and are usually given as valuable gifts. There are about one tael of these two gold beans. According to the current ratio, if converted into silver, there will be a full ten taels. If converted into money, at least it can be exchanged for

Twenty or so copper coins, or twenty thousand copper coins in bulk, can be piled up in a small car. This is an out-and-out generous gift, enough to cover Minhui's expenses for a few years or even longer.

The reason why Minhui did not refuse too thoroughly was because Liu Meier had told her before that the princess would definitely give a gift. If she refused, it would inevitably break the princess' heart. The princess's intention was to bring the relationship between master and servant closer.

, so that she can integrate into the big family of Prince Zhong's palace more quickly. Although it seems that Lu Yuzhu is not a narrow-minded person, it is better to be more cautious.

Not allowed to wear enough small shoes?

In fact, although Liu Meier's considerations were sound, she still didn't understand Lu Yuzhu's personality. Lu Yuzhu was kind and generous, so naturally she would not bully and attack the elderly people in the palace after becoming the princess.

Minhui accompanied Lu Yuzhu and said a few words before leaving. Not long after, Liu Meier came again and brought stewed Tremella and lotus seed soup to Lu Yuzhu. Lu Yuzhu naturally spent a lot of money again. Lu Yuzhu knew that Liu Meier and

Liu Ling's relationship would inevitably make her heart sour, but what she wanted was that she must serve the prince well in the future and not be outdone by Liu Mei'er.

I don’t know how long it took, but the sounds outside became louder and louder, and bursts of laughter came from time to time. The legs Lu Yuzhu was sitting on were numb, but she didn’t dare to move, so she had to grit her teeth and stay close. Liu Mei

Seeing her twisting her waist slightly from time to time, the son knew that the princess was tired from sitting, so he whispered in Lu Yuzhu's ear: "If the princess is tired, just lie down and rest for a while. I have asked, as long as the buttocks do not leave the bed

The face will be fine.”

She pulled a quilt over and placed it behind Lu Yuzhu, and said with a smile: "Just lean on it, Princess. It'll be fine."

Lu Yuzhu found Liu Meier's hand and held it, saying thank you softly.

"Sister, if I call you this, you won't refuse, right?"

Liu Mei'er was flattered and said in a panic: "The princess has a distinguished status, so I don't dare to do it."

Lu Yuzhu sighed and said: "It's okay. I know that in fact, thanks to you being by your side these years, the prince may actually be closer to you than to me. We... we will all be the prince's women from now on.

, I just want to be close to you and be like sisters in private, I have no other meaning."

In terms of age, Liu Mei'er is one year older than Lu Yuzhu, but Lu Yuzhu is the official wife. Although Liu Mei'er has received Liu Ling's promise, there is still a certain gap in status. Lu Yuzhu calls her sister, which is also true.

Just makes sense.

The two people said a few words, and suddenly they heard the sounds outside suddenly become chaotic, and there was a faint red light flashing in the distance, as if there was a fire somewhere.

"It's not good! It's gone wrong!"

Following the panicked shouts of the servants, the guests who were drinking suddenly became panicked.

"Protect Your Majesty!"

"Escort!"

Someone kept shouting loudly.

"There's an assassin!"

"Protect Your Majesty!"

The sound became more and more chaotic, and Lu Yuzhu held Liu Mei'er's hand harder and harder. Both of their hands were sweating. Lu Yuzhu stood up and was about to rush out. Liu Mei'er pulled her and said: "Princess, don't go out, it's natural outside."

There are guards here, and there are a lot of guards in the palace today, so the prince will not be in danger."

Lu Yuzhu wanted to tear off her hijab, but Liu Meier held her hand tightly: "Princess! What will happen if you go out? If an assassin discovers your identity and uses you to threaten the prince and His Majesty, what will the prince do?

Do?"

Liu Mei'er's words brought her to her senses. Lu Yuzhu held Liu Mei'er's hand tightly and sincerely said thank you.

Minhui opened the door and ran in, and sat down with Lu Yuzhu along with Xun'er and Liu Mei'er.

"Princess, don't be impatient. General Hua has already brought three hundred archers to protect the iron barrels outside. The assassins will never be able to rush here."

Minhui comforted Lu Yuzhu and said.

"The prince's side..."

Lu Yuzhu asked worriedly.

Minhui said: "Don't worry, Princess. Your Majesty has already prepared it."

Lu Yuzhu was stunned: "Your Majesty, did you expect that someone would come to assassinate you today?"

Liu Mei'er nodded and said, "It should be said that I am prepared for any trouble. I don't know. I heard that people from the White Lotus Sect want to cause trouble on the prince's wedding day."

She lied, but she knew that if she told the truth, Lu Yuzhu would not be able to sit still.

The four women were sitting next to each other, and suddenly they heard Hanasaburo shouting from outside: "Who is it?"

"Stop! Don't run!"

The guards shouted, and the four people couldn't help but hold the hands of the people around them.

With a bang, a big hole was opened on the roof, and a black figure fell from the sky, holding a sharp long knife in his hand, with a murderous look! (To be continued)
