Chapter 26

By the Baizhi River, Xiao Zui watched the bleak sedan chair go away from a distance, the festive red color and lively music made everything that happened just now seem like a dream, Xiao Sesel did not lift the sedan chair curtain, Xiao Zui never saw the quiet beauty again Amorous countenance.

The side of the Chinese clothes on his body was stuffed with rabbit down, very warm, Xiao Zui looked at the man and woman beside him, and said doubtfully: "I seem to have seen you before, which Highness is it?"

The woman smiled sweetly: "This is my sixth brother."

Xiao Zui remembered, "Your Highness Sixth." He wanted to salute, but his body was already frozen in the white paper river, and the movement was very difficult.

The woman supported Xiao Zui, and said with a smile, "Miss Xiao San, you're welcome. We'll take you back to the Xiao Mansion, where Sixth Brother's carriage is parked. Oh, I forgot to introduce, my name is Yu Po."

"Jade Soul Empress..."

Xiao Zui knew that the Yupo Emperor Ji and the sixth prince Yu Qinghan were brothers and sisters of the same mother. Because their biological mother was only a concubine and had no right to raise the heirs, the two brothers and sisters were raised by the second prince's mother and concubine Jiang Guifei. Concubine Jiang is called mother concubine.

Xiao Zui understands this feeling of living under someone's hedge, looking at Yu Qinghan who keeps coughing, he said: "Xiao Zui was supposed to spend three days in the Baizhi River, and the two Highnesses can take care of me like this, Xiao Zui is grateful, But I really don't want the two of you to be talked about because of me, so it's better to let me go home by myself."

"I can't do this, you are so weak, how can I let you go back by yourself?" Yupo Emperor Ji helped Xiao Zui, "I told you that my sixth brother brought the carriage over, and there was Mrs. Tang under the seat of the carriage, so it was warm. And the hand stove is still hot, hurry up and get in the car."

"Emperor Ji Yupo..." Xiao Zui was unwilling to accept this heavy affection.

Yu Qinghan said: "Miss Xiao San, get in the carriage." He coughed as he spoke.

"Your Highness Sixth..."

Unable to reach the pair of brothers and sisters, Xiao Zui was helped into the carriage, and there was no one else beside the carriage except the driver.

Empress Yupo sent Xiao Zui into the carriage, and then Yu Qinghan also got into the carriage, while Empress Yupo and the coachman drove the horses outside.

Xiao Zui saw that Yupo Diji gave her the hat just now, so he hurriedly said: "Di Ji, here's your hat." He wanted to take it off.

Yu Qinghan pressed her hand, coughed and remained silent.

"Your Highness Sixth..." Xiao Zui suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, why didn't the brother and sister go to Prince Jin's Mansion to attend the wedding, but stayed here to settle down with her, a person who was criticized by everyone.

"Miss Xiao San, hand stove." Yu Qinghan handed the hand stove to Xiao Zui.

Xiao Zui hugged the hand stove, obviously tired, but sitting beside Yu Qinghan felt very uneasy.

Why did this weak prince who was regarded as an invisible person in the Dayao Dynasty make her so uneasy?

Feeling tense all the way, Xiao Zui was sent to the main gate of Xiao Mansion.

When the guards of the Xiao Mansion saw Xiao Zui being sent back, they were all surprised, and someone reported Xiao Ke and the old lady.

Both Xiao Ke and the old matriarch had seen Yu Qinghan, so they hurriedly saluted him.

Xiao Ke was puzzled, but still asked with a respectful smile: "Your Highness Sixth, and this one is..."

"I am Jade Soul Empress."

"Ah, Sixth Highness, Jade Po Emperor Ji, may I ask if this is..."

Empress Yupo was supporting Xiao Zui, when she saw that the coat was about to slip off Xiao Zui's shoulders, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to wrap it up for Xiao Zui, this behavior surprised Xiao Ke and the old lady secretly.

Yu Qinghan said: "I passed by the Baizhi River, I couldn't see it anymore, so I sent Miss Xiao San back."

Xiao Ke was startled, and hurriedly said: "Punishing Xiao Zui is based on family law, but since His Highness the Sixth Highness opened his mouth, the veteran will definitely persuade the elders of the Xiao family that the punishment of Xiao Zui will stop here."

Empress Yupo sneered in her heart.Vanity, hypocrisy!

Yu Qinghan said: "Miss Xiao San is suffering, I hope Lord You Cheng will take good care of her."

"The old minister would like to obey Yi's order." Xiao Ke cupped his hands.

The old lady didn't say anything, she looked at Xiao Zui with disgust, and sighed silently.

Afterwards, Xiao Ke wanted to invite Yu Qinghan and Yupo Diji to the mansion for a drink of tea. Yu Qinghan coughed badly, Xiao Zui took off his coat and wanted to return it to him, but he shook his hand, his face pale like It's onyx.

Yupo Emperor Ji put the coat on Xiao Zui's shoulders again, and said with a smile: "Miss Xiao San can just wear it, my sixth brother's clothes are warm, and he is not bad for this one."

"Emperor Ji Yupo..." Xiao Zui squinted his eyes, and chose to salute the two, "Xiao Zui thanked the two Highnesses for sending charcoal in a timely manner. Even though Xiao Zui is small, a drop of water will surely repay the favor."

Yu Qinghan waved his hands, coughing, and with Yu Po's support, he turned and went back to the carriage.

Until now, Xiao Zui didn't notice that Yu Qinghan's carriage was made of black awning. In the palace, awning is an inferior material, just like Yu Qinghan's humble background, it is impossible to use noble fabrics.If you put it this way, the coat inlaid with rabbit wool on your body at the moment is quite luxurious, Xiao Zui thought, Yu Qinghan would not have many such luxurious warm clothes, and maybe even this is the only one.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zui hurriedly took off his coat, wanting to return it to Yu Qinghan.But the wheels of the carriage had creaked and rolled, the coachman turned a corner and left.

"Your Highness Six!" Xiao Zui called out.

No one in the car answered her, the black-covered carriage gradually drove away, the curtains of the car seemed to be raised by a corner, the people in the car glanced back at Xiao Zui, wondering if it was Yu Qinghan or Yupo Diji.

When the carriage turned the corner of the alley, the old matriarch swung a deer head crutch and hit Xiao Zui heavily on the knee.

Xiao Zui suffered from pain, knelt on the ground with frown, straightened his body, and stared straight at the old matriarch.

"Hmph, wickedness." The old matriarch snorted meanly, and went back to the mansion on crutches, wondering what kind of luck this girl had, that someone from the palace came down to speak for her. What else can the government do with her?
The old lady was depressed, turned her head and said to Xiao Ke: "Take care of it!"

"My son knows." After Xiao Ke finished answering, he glanced at Xiao Zui with disgust, and said coldly: "Go back and lie down under the quilt, His Highness Six will intercede for you, I, Xiao, will not treat you badly. "

"Yes, Dad." Xiao Zui got up, and answered neither humble nor overbearing, the gorgeous and broad man's coat covered her thin shoulders, the corners were slightly blown by the wind, and a few red plum petals were flying.

In the alleyway in the distance, the carriage wrapped in a black canopy obscured the muffled conversations inside.

Empress Yupo sealed the car curtain tightly, and the darkness in the car made her eyes even brighter, with a touch of melancholy, she asked in a low voice: "Sixth brother, our every move can't escape the eyeliner of second emperor brother, He will find out what happened today sooner or later, how should we explain to him?"

Yu Qinghan stared at the darkness in the carriage, and suddenly clenched his fists, this movement was too violent, the joints made a sound, and the expression of Yupo Emperor Ji changed slightly.

"Sixth Brother." She grabbed Yu Qinghan's hand.

Yu Qinghan had a wry smile on his face, "Yupo, do you think Sixth Brother is incompetent and useless?"

"How could it be? I never thought so." Yupo Emperor Ji's bright eyes were like clear waves, "Our brothers and sisters were entrusted under Jiang Guifei's knees since childhood, and were bullied by Jiang Guifei and the second brother. The palace lives in peace, we have to be patient, don’t we?”

"Mother and concubine..." Thinking of her weak mother who was only a concubine, Yu Qinghan said: "I am useless, no one can protect me."

"Sixth brother, don't say that, don't be depressed." Yupo Emperor Ji said: "We are still young, this road has not come to an end. Let's go on strong, the sky will not stop us, I believe in the road It must be safe there."

"Yu Po..." Yu Qinghan nodded, suppressing the powerlessness in her eyes.

Yu Po is right, right now the princes are fighting openly and secretly to win the heir, and King Jin is involved. I don't know what will happen in the future, maybe once the situation changes and the world turns upside down, he will definitely persevere.

The twelfth lunar month in Shunjing often blows the north wind, which is bitter and cold.There was no snow today, and there were more pedestrians on the street compared to the previous few days, especially the fact that King Jin married Miss Xiao Fu's concubine, which added a bit of excitement to Shunjing.It's just that the incident of the killer wounding people by the Baizhi River just now scared away many passers-by, adding a little panic to the festive atmosphere.

Xiao Sesu was holding a lacquerware treasure box in the sedan chair, caressing the brocade picture, and heard Luyi say outside the sedan chair that Prince Jin's Mansion was coming.

In the distance, the sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums could be heard, and the characters "Happy" on red silk were everywhere in King Jin's mansion.Even if Yu Wangyan doesn't want this marriage anymore, he will still do what he should do.

Xiao Sesu arrived, and there were cheers and applause outside the sedan chair. There were a lot of guests today, and everyone booed and asked the groom to kick the sedan chair door.

Xiao Sesu couldn't see what was going on outside, but the sedan body vibrated slightly with the sedan door, and she knew that Yu Wangyan had kicked the sedan door.The curtain of the car was also raised, Xiao Sesu was supported by Lu Yi, and got out of the sedan chair.

"Miss, this is red silk." Luyi took the red silk from the new bride's hand, and handed it to Xiao Sesu.

Xiao Sesu and Yu Wangyan each held the two ends of the red silk, with a peony flower made of silk and satin in the middle, and walked towards the main hall amidst the attention of everyone.

A short distance, but to Xiao Sesu, it is long and indistinct.

I can't remember how many days ago, she also crossed the grand threshold of the Prince's Mansion under the same cheers.

At that step, she made a mistake, so wrong that she died in hatred.Coming to a new threshold with wounds all over her body, what kind of future will she have after crossing this step?
"Ah!" Someone in the crowd suddenly called out.

Presumably because of the pushing, someone accidentally fell out and bumped into Xiao Sesu.

Xiao Seshu staggered, Lu Yi hurriedly supported her, and heard the man say in panic: "Princess Jin forgives the sin, the old minister did not mean it, the old minister deserves to die!"

father!
Xiao Sesu's body froze.

This voice is Zhang Jinse's biological father, Zhang Qian, who is right in front of her right now!
At this moment, Xiao Sesu frantically wanted to throw off the hijab and plunge into his father's aging bosom.However, this hijab is separated by a stranger in two lifetimes, she can't do anything except stand here!
"King Jin." An official said: "We were all too excited just now and accidentally pushed servant Zhang out. Please forgive me, King Jin."

Zhang Qian bent his waist even lower, "King Jin, the old minister is guilty."

Yu Wangyan said: "This king will not pursue unintentional mistakes, and the servants don't have to worry about it."

"Thank you King Jin." Zhang Qian retreated into the crowd.

Father... Xiao Sesu wailed silently.

Knowing that Zhang Jinse's death made his father extremely sad, Xiao Sesu couldn't even see how old and decadent he was.

All she could do was hold the red silk tightly, and Tongyu forgot to say that she had reached the main hall.

Immediately afterwards, another voice sounded: "Congratulations to King Jin, the guests are almost here, now I will preside over the wedding."

Xiao Sesu's body trembled violently.

Prince Yu Qingyang!

It turned out to be him!

Seemingly aware of the trembling of the bleak, Yu Qingyang took a look, and his tone was so gentle and considerate: "What's wrong with Princess Jin, but what's wrong?"

Xiao Sesu bit her lower lip tightly, forcibly blocking the resentment in her heart.

Lu Yi replied: "My lady is just a little nervous."

"Oh?" Yu Qingyang said with a smile: "Then this palace will start to preside over the worship hall."

Several princes who came together spoke in agreement.

"Worship heaven and earth!"

"Two thanks to the high hall!"

"Bye husband and wife!"

Xiao Sesu seemed to be suffering the punishment of Ling Chi, everyone was cheering, only she and Yu Wangyan, both hearts were about to be crushed.

She could only see red through the hijab, which was as red as the blood that stained the prison uniform when he was executed with a stick in the execution ground.

Yu Qingyang, can you still recall all the things you did when you paid homage to me?

I still remember everything, but I remember your meanness and ruthlessness even more clearly!

Just wait slowly, one day, I will make you pay back everything!
After a short visit to the hall, it seemed as if he had finally walked through a long night. Xiao Sesu was supported by Lu Yi and a maid from the palace, and sent to the bridal chamber.

It wasn't until she sat down on the couch in the bridal chamber that Xiao Sesu let go of her clenched right hand. There was a crescent-shaped bloodstain on the palm of her hand, which she didn't even know when she scratched it.

"Ah, Miss, why did your hand hurt?" Lu Yi asked excitedly.

The maidservant of the palace had already left the house at this moment, and Lu Yi didn't bring any wound medicine, so she had to run out of the bridal chamber to find someone to find medicine for Xiao Sesel.

The red wedding dress was laid out on the couch, and Xiao Sesu took out a small lacquer box from her arms, and the brocade pictures inside were laid out peacefully.She wasn't sure if Yu Wangyan would come tonight, but this Jinse picture was her promise, and she would hand it over to him.

Waiting, waiting, the hustle and bustle of the main hall has quieted down, the frost on the window paper is getting thicker, the food has turned to ice, and Yu Wangyan still doesn't come.

Lu Yi probably lost her way too and didn't come back.

Xiao Sesu was exhausted, but got up holding the small lacquerware box.

She wanted to find Yu Wangyan because she was worried about his mood.

Just as he was about to open the door to go out, the door was pushed open suddenly, and a group of gorgeous women entered one by one.

The few in the lead, wearing various moonlight pleated skirts, pointed at Xiao Sesel and laughed: "Look, sisters, this is our Princess Jin. I thought that the princess would be superior to others when she entered the mansion. So what about the girl? Didn't she get hung up in the bridal chamber by the prince?"

"That's right, the princess is nothing special, just like our sisters."

"I thought the concubine could be favored. No matter how good her family background is, she is just a widow with us!"

"Hmph, we are widowed only because the prince still can't forget that Zhang Jinse, but she is widowed because she is a fool!"

These words stung Xiao Sesu like a needle, her beautiful eyes turned cold as she looked at these women.

These are Yu Wangyan's concubines, the first four must be side concubines.

Xiao Sesu asked, "Do you know where the prince is?"

The side concubine said: "The prince won't come, so don't think about it! He's probably drinking alone again, what do you fool know? He loves Zhang Jinse, and you, you are a fool who makes trouble for him!"

Sadness and resentment welled up in Xiao Sesu's heart, he picked up the porcelain bowl on the table, and slammed it on the side concubine.

"You!" The concubine screamed in shock from being hit, and the porcelain bowl was shattered.

"What are you doing, idiot!"

Xiao Sesu shouted: "You scolding people, those who scolding people are all bad guys! Come on, someone is bullying the new princess, go and tell the father-in-law in the palace, all the women in the Jin Palace are bullying the new princess!"

Now the side concubines are in a hurry, they came here to find fault, but they didn't know that they annoyed this fool and wanted to set themselves on fire?
A side concubine rushed up and wanted to cover Xiao Sesu's mouth. Seeing her actions, Xiao Sesu took a bite and kicked her side concubine to the ground screaming.

Xiao Sesu took the opportunity to push away the concubines, and ran out while shouting: "Come on! They are bullying the new princess, tell the father-in-law and my father in the palace!"

"Princess, what's the matter?" Shan Zong came quickly with his guards.

When the concubines and concubines saw Shanzong, their faces turned green.

Xiao Sesu said aggrievedly: "They, they bullied me, called me a fool, said that I would only cause trouble for the prince... Woohoo, I want to tell the father-in-law in the palace that Emperor Tianying made me the princess, and they didn't Emperor Tianying, why do you still bully me?"

The concubines and concubines felt cold, this foolish concubine actually described them as despising the king, this is a felony!

A side concubine said quickly: "It's not what this fool said——"

"You scolded me again! I'm not a fool!"

"You..." The side concubine couldn't help but stare at Xiao Sesel tightly with both eyes. After a while, she calmed down with all her strength, and said extremely unwillingly: "Princess, we didn't mean to make fun of you, you misunderstood."

"You scolded me obviously, everyone heard it! Shan Zong heard it too, right?" Xiao Sesu tugged at Shan Zong's cuff.

Shan Zong didn't like Yu Wangyan's group of concubines very much. They were all brought in by Emperor Tianying, and there were some people in the middle who were not sure which prince had placed them undercover.Compared with these women with evil intentions, Shanzong naturally tends to be bleak, not to mention that this matter is obviously bleak.

The concubines are not fools, you can tell the clue by looking at Shan Zong's eyes, if you continue to argue now, wouldn't you be accused of contempt for the Holy Majesty?
The concubines and concubines couldn't handle it well, so they had to shut their mouths in dismay, stared resentfully and desolately, and broke up unhappy.

Xiao Sesel was still holding the lacquerware treasure box tightly, and Shan Zong cast his gaze on it, and said, "Please return to the bridal chamber, princess, after a hard day, rest early."

Xiao Sesu asked: "I rest alone? The prince is not coming, is he?"

"Princess, please rest earlier." Shan Zong avoided the question.

Xiao Sesel said, "But I still have something to give to the prince."

"I will pass it on for the princess."

"No, I'm going to send it in person." Xiao Sesel said, "Where is the prince now, take me there. If you dare to lie to me, you will be a puppy. You want to buy me candy."

Shan Zong narrowed his star pupils, paused for a moment, and said with a pleasant face, "I will take Wangfei there."

"Really?" Xiao Sesu said happily: "That's great, I don't need you to buy me candy, I'll ask Luyi to buy it for me tomorrow!"

Speaking of Luyi, Luyi came back panting, just now she lost her way and couldn't find the medicine, now she is very ashamed of Xiao Sesel, she doesn't want her master to follow Shanzong in a hurry.

Luyi had no choice but to go back to the bridal chamber and wait.
