Chapter 20 The Wedding Ceremony

Lou Xiyue replied: "Princess Xie is concerned, my daughter is fine, she has not been injured, nor was she captured by the robbers. Thanks to the timely rescue of the prince, the robbers have all been imprisoned."

"That's good." The eldest princess said: "I called you here today, one is to see you, and the other is to explain something to you in advance."

Lou Xiyue: "Please tell me."

Princess Jiaoshu said: "You and King Xuanping were married by order, and when you enter the palace, you must abide by the rules of the palace, serve the prince wholeheartedly, and do not overstep.

"In addition, you are not allowed to interfere with the power of the housekeeper of the palace, do you understand?"

Hearing this, Lou Xiyue raised her eyebrows and said "oh" playfully in her heart.

She got it.

Princess Jiao Shu came to see her today, the main purpose is to give her a blow.

No wonder.A good grandson raised by his own hands, now wants to marry a lowly girl by the emperor's order, if it is Lou Xiyue herself, then he has to investigate carefully.

And that's all, this marriage was still appointed by the emperor, and with the level of hostility between the Fu family and it, it's no wonder that Princess Jiao Shu wanted to give the new wife of the Ban family a blow.

Lou Xiyue was very respectful on the surface: "My daughter understands that if you follow the teachings of the eldest princess, you will live up to the expectations of the eldest princess and the prince."

"Oh?" Princess Jiao Shu looked at her: "As a princess, you are not allowed to interfere in all the affairs of the palace. Do you really have no other ideas? No complaints?"

Lou Xiyue thought for a while, and said: "The Ban family suffered a change back then, my father and mother passed away unexpectedly, and my daughter's only sister also went with them.

"Now the minister and daughter go to the capital alone, without any relatives in the capital. It is very gratifying to be protected by the prince and the princess, and to have a place to live.

"I don't want to be rich and powerful in this life, and I don't dare to ask for too much. I just hope that my grandparents will go well for ten thousand years, and my family's life will be safe."

Hearing this, Princess Jiao Shu didn't have any special reaction, she just gave a faint "hmm" and said:

"I understand what you mean. Don't worry, if you keep yourself safe in the future, don't cause trouble, and serve you wholeheartedly, you will naturally be safe and sound in this capital."

With this promise, Lou Xiyue got up and saluted, and said gratefully: "Yes, I remember."

"Okay, I'm tired, you go back first." Princess Jiao Shu waved her hand, then leaned back on the chair and closed her eyes to rest.

Lou Xiyue looked up at her, then bowed and retreated.

However, right after Lou Xiyue left, Princess Jiao Shu suddenly opened her eyes.Her eyes are shrewd, her spirit is smooth, and she doesn't look tired at all.

She turned her head and shouted behind the screen: "Come out."

The next moment, Xuan Yi strode forward and said: "See Eldest Princess, Eldest Princess is thousand years old."

The eldest princess: "You heard what Ban Xiyu said just now. How to report back to your master is up to you."

"Yes, this subordinate understands." Xuan Yi said: "But according to the Eldest Princess, what about Ban Xiyu? Can you trust him?"

Princess Jiao Shu said: "On the surface, she is an honest child. But she behaved too well, she did not seek power, and even gave up the power of housekeeper. According to this palace, she is either indifferent to fame and wealth, and has ambitions. It’s not here, or there are other calculations.”

She waved her hand and said: "Since this princess was bestowed by the emperor, no matter whether Guan'er trusts her or not, I will just treat her as an extra pair of chopsticks in the palace from now on, and just keep her."

Xuan Yi said: "I'm afraid she is a spy sent by the emperor to monitor Xuan Ping Palace."

Princess Jiao Shu said: "If you are worried, send a few more people to watch her to prevent her from contacting the affairs of the house. But in the past few days, you should have placed a lot of people around her, why, didn't you find out order what?"

Hearing this, Xuan Yi shook his head helplessly, and said: "It is precisely because nothing can be found around her that this subordinate invites you to come and see if you can find some clues."

Some time ago, the people he sent to Miss Ban's side reported that they hadn't found anything unusual.

The young lady in that class is very peaceful every day, she doesn't go outside much, let alone talk to outsiders, she reads with a book all day long.

In addition, her daily life has always been served only by close people, and others have no chance to intervene.

Judging from all these signs, there is indeed no problem with Miss Ban's side.

Is it just that they are overwhelmed?

Princess Jiao Shu said: "For the time being, let's wait and see what happens. If there is any disturbance, you and Guan'er should make a decision as soon as possible."

"At the moment it can only be like this." Xuan Yi said: "Since this is the case, this subordinate will report back to the prince and take his leave."

"Well, let's go."

*
On the way back to the post house, Qingshuang asked: "Miss, you went in for a while, what did the eldest princess say to you?"

Lou Xiyue said indifferently: "It's nothing, it's just a few words to hit me."

"Knocking?" Qingshuang didn't quite understand.

"That is to say, after I get married with King Xuanping, I am not allowed to interfere with the housekeeper's affairs in the palace, and I don't have the right to control the middle class."

Hearing this, Qingshuang was stunned for a moment: "What?! The eldest princess won't let you be the housekeeper?"

There is no reason for this, the princess is the mother of the family, if she can't manage the house, what kind of princess is she?As the mistress of the house, she doesn't have the right to house the house. If the outside world finds out about this, they will be ridiculed!
Qingshuang was startled and anxious, and quickly asked: "Is it because the palace heard that the girl encountered robbers on the way, and thought that the girl's reputation was ruined by the robbers, so... Or, they knew that the girl can fight—"

"No." Ban Xiyu said: "The reason why the eldest princess did not give me the right to be the master of the house has nothing to do with the robbers in Xifengzhai, and the reason is not on me. Naturally, they have their own considerations for doing this. We Just do it."

Qingshuang frowned: "But..."

Lou Xiyue: "You don't need to say too much, I know this matter well. Right now, it's more important to concentrate on preparing for the marriage."

Qingshuang looked at Lou Xiyue hesitantly, seeing her resolute attitude, she could only silently shut her mouth.

After that, the post house was quiet for a while, only the servants of the Ban family and the Xuanping Palace were still busy, arranging the wedding arrangements in full swing.

And at this time, as the bride, Lou Xiyue was the happiest.

From morning to afternoon every day, she would listen to some rules from the mother of the palace.That nanny was sent by the eldest princess Jiao Shu, she was the eyeliner sent by the eldest princess.

Lou Xiyue was obedient on the surface, but secretly asked Cai Sang to go out to inquire about the news about this Princess Jiao Shu.

After inquiring like this, she really got some special clues.

Cai Sang said: "Before, I heard from the common people in the market that the Fu family of King Xuanping had enmity with the Emperor Daxuan. But now I found out that it was not the Fu family who had enmity with the emperor, but Jiao Shuchang Princess."

When Lou Xiyue heard it, she immediately became curious: "Oh? How do you say that?"

Cai Sang said: "Speaking of this eldest princess, she is really a strange person. I heard people say that when she was young, she was outstanding in both sex and art, and was famous all over the world.

"The first emperor liked her very much, especially after she single-handedly took down a large area of ​​territory occupied by the Wuyue tribe in the north, the first emperor almost issued an edict to change the crown prince!"

Lou Xiyue turned her gaze: "Really? That's really powerful."

To actually make the first emperor move the idea of ​​changing the prince, it can be seen that Princess Jiao Shu's strength is extraordinary.

Cai Sang also said: "The prince at that time, who is now the emperor of Daxuan, was so angry that he vomited blood when he heard that his position as prince could not be guaranteed—he really vomited blood—after that, he joined hands with princes and ministers to write a letter, and designed to make The eldest princess lost her virginity before marriage, which made the late emperor withdraw his will."

Lou Xiyue put down the glass cup, frowned and asked, "Lost virginity before marriage?"

"That's right." Cai Sang sighed, "Actually, the Eldest Princess had a marriage contract long ago, but she was designed to lose her virginity to Fu Xing, the servant of the household department, so the late Emperor had no choice but to marry them both."

Lou Xiyue understood a little bit: "That's why Princess Jiao Shu has a grudge against the emperor. The enmity between the two of them was forged in this way."

"That's right." Cai Sang said again: "It's pitiful to think about the eldest princess. Even though the husband and wife respect each other as guests after marriage, she always has a knot in her heart. It wasn't until the birth of King Xuanping's father, Fu Lan, that the situation improved."

Lou Xiyue snorted coldly, thinking that men are shameless and useless, so they only make a fuss about women's chastity.

As long as Emperor Xuan had some real skills, the first emperor would not have the idea of ​​abolishing the crown prince.He just doesn't want to make progress, and he harms his sister because of jealousy, which is insidious and despicable.

At this time, Qingshuang was worried: "According to this, the palace is still very afraid of the prince right now? If so, then the girl will marry into the palace in the future..."

Lou Xiyue knew what she was worried about, so she said, "No matter what, I'm also from the Ban family, after the hero. Even if the two factions fight, it won't hurt the Ban family."

Qingshuang: "Really?"

"Really." Lou Xiyue said: "Don't think too much, things haven't happened yet, don't worry about it."

This is naturally a reassurance for Qingshuang, Lou Xiyue doesn't know what will happen in the future.But for now, the situation is fairly stable.

At least the marriage between Ban's family and Prince Xuanping's mansion can still be held as scheduled.

On the auspicious day of the zodiac, Lou Xiyue woke up before dawn.

Qingshuang and a group of maids waited on her to wash and make up.Gorgeous pearls and emeralds adorned her temples, and her face was also covered with rouge and gouache.

She looked in the mirror and saw that the person in the mirror became more and more charming. In just one hour, she became a person whom even she felt strange.

Fortunately, she is quite familiar with the process of getting married, and she has been here before at Ban's house.Lou Xiyue had the bottom line in her heart, and waited patiently for a while, and then, the mother of the palace took her out of the post house.

Lou Xiyue was wearing a fiery red and gorgeous wedding gown. As soon as she stepped over the threshold, she heard the sound of gongs and drums on the street, and the sound of applause was endless.

Even though the people on both sides of the street gave way one after another, there were still many people standing on the attic and watching.

They were either laughing and watching the fun, or chattering about today's grand and lively wedding ceremony, all with envious and yearning expressions on their faces.

"I heard that Ms. Ban's family is beautiful and talented, and she is a perfect match for our King Xuan Ping! It's a match made in heaven!"

"That's a marriage contract bestowed by the Holy Majesty, of course it can't be wrong, it's great!"

"Hey, look, the bride is coming out!"

……

Lou Xiyue covered her face with a layer of red embroidered gauze, vaguely, she could vaguely see the people of the palace not far ahead standing in line.

Among this group of people, Fu Guan was also dressed in red and sitting on a horse.

I saw him with straight shoulders, wearing a gold and jade crown on his head, his eyes are like bright stars, his appearance is like beautiful jade, he is really a noble young man.

Just when the nanny called "The bride gets on the sedan chair", Fu Guan turned the horse's head.With a sound of "get up the sedan chair", the welcoming team went to the Xuanping Palace.

Lou Xiyue sat in the wedding sedan chair, with Qingshuang and Caisang on both sides.Following this bumpy journey, after half a quarter of an hour, the team finally stopped in front of the gate of the palace.

When she heard Mammy shout "Stop the sedan chair", her heart beat suddenly.

Inexplicable palpitations made her hands and feet stiff.Lou Xiyue couldn't help but clenched her sleeves, feeling a little nervous.

Then, she got off the sedan chair with the support of her mother, and a long red silk was stuffed in her hand.And at the other end of the ribbon is the majestic Xuanping Wang Fuguan.

Lou Xiyue heard the discussions from around, and finally had a real feeling that they were going to get married.She paused, then walked into the palace with small steps.

The doors of high-ranking and wealthy families were one after another, Lou Xiyue didn't remember how many thresholds she had crossed, nor how many doors she had passed through. When she stopped, nearly a quarter of an hour had passed.

And she didn't have time to rest, and she was going to pay homage to Fu Guan immediately.

At this time, the guests of the palace gathered together, and Princess Jiao Shu sat on the high seat.

Quite a few people said that they were happy again and again, it was just a happy meeting.

Although Lou Xiyue has seen a lot of worldly experiences in the Jianghu, she has also cultivated a calm and steady temperament.But this is also the first time to marry someone.

She was inevitably a little uncomfortable and even a little nervous.

At this time, Lou Xiyue's consciousness was in a trance for a moment, followed the guidance of the nanny and Fu Guan worshiped the heaven and the earth.

Through a layer of red veil, she saw Fu Guan face to face with her, and bowed to her dignifiedly.

Afterwards, the hall official shouted "Li Cheng", and the nanny led the two of them into the bridal chamber that had been prepared early in the morning.

At this moment, the ceremony of the wedding ceremony is over halfway.

Next, Fu Guan needed to entertain the guests in the front hall, while Lou Xiyue sat quietly in the room, waiting for the groom's official to come back to complete the final ceremony of the bridal chamber with her.

At this time, the servant girl who was accompanying her also withdrew.The bridal chamber was quiet, only Lou Xiyue was left alone.

Not long after, Lou Xiyue suddenly removed the scarf on her head, and then exhaled heavily.

She moved her sore arms and legs, and pinched a few pieces of pastry on the table to eat.

From morning to night, she has no free time at all.Only eat some food in the morning, after noon, I feel hungry in my stomach.

And as a bride, she has always maintained a dignified and elegant posture, and now she feels uncomfortable all over her body.

Fortunately, there is no one around at the moment, so she can take a good rest.

But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of steady footsteps outside the house!
Immediately, the door was pushed open! ——

Lou Xiyue's heart skipped a beat, she immediately put her hijab back on, and sat back upright.

Her eyes were lowered, and in her field of vision, only a pair of dark red shoes with auspicious clouds patterned came over——

"Madam has been waiting for a long time."
