She is different from the empress in the history books

Chapter 67 Mutation 2
Wang Shu was called up before dawn, and everything she saw was red.

In fact, she doesn't like too bright colors. The boudoir where she has lived for more than ten years is always in shades of blue, shades of green, and shades of purple.

But on the last night of her stay here, she found that the room she was familiar with was so unfamiliar that she couldn't bear to miss it.

She is not marrying an ordinary husband, and the wedding ceremony is naturally not an ordinary process. There are no bustling wedding receptions, no poems to remind the bride, and no door blocking.

Wang Shu bid farewell to her parents as a daughter, and then stood and accepted their kneeling worship as the mother of the country.

Then he took a last look at the familiar house and family, and got on the chariot to welcome her into the palace.

The same thing happened in other families. Those who had daughters who wanted to enter the palace had to send their daughters to the palace on this dim morning.

It's just that they are concubines, there is no Zhenghong, no Zongzheng wedding, and no walking chariot, just a sedan chair with different regulations according to their status, carrying them wobbly.

The moment Li Xiafu stepped out of the house, she accidentally saw her cousin's face. She smiled without any grudge, as if she didn't realize that from now on, the identity of the two sisters had changed completely. respect.

But wouldn't she be upset?
Somehow, Li Xiafu regretted it.

Is it really as good as she imagined to make my aunt unwilling to give her daughter the glory?

Wang Shu didn't feel regretful.

An unmarried daughter's family, no matter how appropriate and considerate, still has some yearning for marriage in her heart, but this yearning in Wang Shu's heart has been reduced to the minimum.

She just wants to live her life in peace.

Everyone has different thoughts and emotions, but under the protection of the ceremonial guard, among the several torches raised for lighting, they flow slowly towards the palace like a fire dragon.

Because there were heads of families or adults coming into the palace for the banquet, each family woke up early. First they went to the main courtyard, then the kitchen, and then the stable. They noisily asked the people entering the palace to put on court clothes, and arranged for them to leave. The masters who stayed at home either regained sleep or started a busy day.

Young men and women can't help but take advantage of days like this to go out and have fun, and guess whether the emperor and empress are compatible when they first meet, and who among the concubines can come out on top and be favored.

It was just an ordinary morning, at most, because of the grand event at the top, it added some talk and calculation direction for them.

And the people in the palace who were preparing to witness the wedding of the emperor and the empress, and then kneel down and salute the new empress, didn't they think so?

In front of Wang Shu's eyes were the dazzling gemstone tassels hanging from the phoenix crown, which swayed slightly with the steadily moving chariot.

In her hand, she also holds a jade wishful gift from her future husband. It is said that it is divided from the same piece of jade as the founding jade seal, symbolizing the glory of the emperor and empress sharing power.

It's just that except for a very small number of empresses who have truly shared power, at other times, the most anticipated value of this jade ruyi is to protect empress ruyi.

Even most of the time, it can't even keep them safe.

Wang Shu stroked the lines carved on Ruyi slowly with her hands, lowered her eyebrows, not knowing what she was thinking.

The chariot suddenly swayed, as if forced to stop by something, Wang Shu didn't even have time to question the people outside, she was about to fall straight down with her heavy phoenix crown on her upper body, and even the Ruyi.

No, no!

Wang Shu quickly reacted from the fright. She couldn't drop this Ruyi, otherwise...

There seemed to be a terrible scene in front of her eyes, and it seemed that it was also the shaking of the chariot, which was more violent than this time, followed by the sound of killing, the burning sensation of the flames, and finally Ruyi shattered into pieces.

She didn't have time to think about where the inexplicable killing sound and flames came from, she just turned her body subconsciously, fell heavily on the wooden floor, and then held the Ruyi in her arms with both hands.

Fortunately, it is not broken...

"Miss? Miss!"

Someone hurriedly opened the car curtain. It was the maid she took away from home. She had been following the car and observed Wang Shu's condition immediately after the accident.

Seeing her young lady, she fell to the floor of the chariot, and the gems on the phoenix crown were also scattered on the ground.

Wang Shu didn't care about feeling the muffled pain in her back, she was supported by the maidservant and the palace servants, and straightened the phoenix crown that was about to fall. She didn't care about letting people pick up the precious stones and pearls on the ground, and hurriedly asked:

"what happened?"

The maid was also a little shocked. She was walking well, but the front guard suddenly stopped the horse, and then the people and the motorcade behind stopped wave after wave.

Before she had time to inquire about the situation, she thought of her young lady, and was afraid that she had something else to do, so she hurried over to check.

Wang Shu was about to get out of the carriage while holding the maid's hand, but the female officer sent from the palace stopped her:
"Your Highness, the situation is unknown, you'd better not get out of the car, and this servant will go and inquire about the situation."

But she didn't need to inquire, a horse came running quickly, and Commander Shao was sitting on it.

He stood still a few steps in front of the chariot, turned over neatly and got off the horse. Even though Wang Shu could not be seen, he still saluted respectfully, and then explained in a slow voice:
"Your Majesty, there is some trouble ahead, but it has been dealt with by the minister. It's just that there are still some places on this road that have not been cleaned up. I will let them lead the team to take the imperial road from another road."

Wang Shu never thought that something would happen today, but she still tried her best to remain calm and thank Commander Shao, and agreed to the proposal of detour.

When turning around, Wang Shu gently opened a corner of the curtain and looked out. Commander Shao was leading a team to send them off respectfully, but Wang Shu still caught a glimpse of the door of an unknown house through the dense crowd of guards. Mottled red marks on the stone lion.

That is blood.

However, no fire was seen.

Sure enough, she must have thought too much in a hurry, so that she had a fantasy.

Wang Shu's maid made an exception and got on the chariot, kneeling on the ground, picking up the beads and gems one by one. She sensed that Wang Shu was in a bad mood, and she didn't know what to think, and felt wronged for her lady:
"Miss, according to the auspicious time, you set off two quarters first, and our Wang family is very close. We must be the first to set foot on the royal road. But this turn, I don't know about the other roads. No news, if you set foot on it first and arrive at the gate of the palace first, then..."

Not so lucky.

I also lost face.

Wang Shu was silent for a while. Yes, it was useless for her to pay attention to external matters now. On the contrary, the next palace was the real battlefield she faced.

"It's okay, after all, I'm the only one who enters through the main entrance."

At this time, Li Xiafu was lucky, she did not encounter any problems during the journey, and stepped onto the royal road smoothly.

She was still thinking about the next procedure. They had to greet His Majesty, pay homage to the Queen, and then be divided into their respective palaces. Their wedding ended like this.

As for the emperor and empress, they have to kneel down to worship the country and ancestors together, and they have to sit together to entertain guests.

This kind of strict etiquette made Li Xiafu feel a little uncomfortable.

What made her feel even more uncomfortable was the next moment.
