The courtyard is deep in spring

Chapter 104 The Big Wedding

The third prince blinked, shrugged indifferently and sat back in his seat.

The queen saw that the matter was a foregone conclusion, so she stopped talking and resumed her graceful and magnanimous appearance.

Ye Zhaoqing breathed a sigh of relief, followed Li Yu's side, greeted everyone, and supported each other to retreat.

Seeing this scene, the emperor laughed and said: "Look, these young couples are so loving, I am too embarrassed to keep them!"

Concubine Rong smiled sneeringly at the side, trying to restrain the unhappiness in her heart, and echoed with a smile: "What the emperor said is that the concubine is also very happy to be able to facilitate the two of them."

"People say that good things come in pairs." But at this moment, the queen suddenly interjected: "I heard that Ning Guohou has a second daughter who looks like a fairy. I have heard that Concubine Rong intends to let His Highness the Crown Prince. I have accepted her as a side concubine, why don't I mention it now? I am very curious!"

After hearing this, Concubine Rong's expression froze slightly, and she quickly said politely: "What the empress said is true, but, this good girl can't be taken by the prince, right? Although I am the prince's wife, I can't I am too partial to my own son, many of the royal family here have children of marriageable age, we can't catch them all, we have to give others a chance to choose, right?" Saying this, he chuckled and turned towards everyone present. All the princes and ministers glanced at it.

"The imperial concubine is really magnanimous!" Immediately there was a sound of admiration from below.

"Okay." The emperor said with a smile: "Let the prince's most important task now is to learn how to supervise the country and share my worries. Let's talk about these matters of love between sons and daughters later!"

The Queen interjected: "But the succession of the family is also a major matter, so there is no delay!"

"Isn't there already a crown princess?" The emperor smiled and said, "The queen's worry is really unnecessary!"

"The concubine knows." The queen said with a slightly stiff face.

Concubine Rong sat at the side, looking at her embarrassed appearance, with an elated expression on her lips.

This was probably the first time she smiled all day today.

……

Once out of Huaiqing Palace, Li Yu's whole body tilted, and all her weight leaned on Ye Zhaoqing's body, which made her almost fall to the ground.

But for this situation, Ye Zhao had expected it early, so she was not surprised. While supporting Li Yu hard, she whispered in his ear: "Can you hold on? Do you want to take a car?"

"Of course I have to sit on the imperial chariot, otherwise there is still a long way to go from here to the East Palace. Wouldn't you be exhausted?" Li Yuming was already very weak, but he still tried his best: "I will feel sorry for you."

"Stop being so talkative, it's better to think of a way to behave normally if you have that strength." Ye Zhaoqing rolled his eyes and said, "There are quite a few guards and eunuchs at the gate of this hall. It's all in vain."

"Are you worried about me?" Li Yu glanced at Ye Zhaoqing with bright eyes, and his eyes fell on her half swollen face that had been beaten by Concubine Rong, and said guiltily: "Qing'er, I'm sorry, I I apologize to you on behalf of my concubine!"

Ye Zhaoqing tried his best to support him to go out, and said calmly: "It's nothing, Concubine Rong is just worried about you, she probably thinks that with me, this situation will not happen to you, so she is furious, I understand this feeling. "

"No matter what, she shouldn't hit you." Li Yu shook his head and said.

Ye Zhaoqing saw that he looked weak and might faint at any moment, and was secretly worried, but he had no other choice but to try his best to help him go forward. At this time, it is not wise to ask the guards to help .

She could only support Li Yu by herself, and she also had to show the illusion that she was relying on Li Yu. This made Ye Zhaoqing exhausted, and dense beads of sweat appeared on her white forehead.

Seeing that he can go down the steps, the imperial chariot will stop there, and by then, Ye Zhaoqing won't be so tired.

But at this time, several maids carrying fruit plates and drinks came from outside the hall. When passing by the two of them, one of the maids suddenly sprained her foot, and she rushed towards Li Yu, holding the fruit wine in her hand. Pour all over the place.

It was too late, but it was so fast, when Ye Zhaoqing was secretly anxious, Li Yu, who was being supported by her, suddenly grabbed her hand and dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the maid's bump.

"Which palace are you from, you don't have eyes when you walk?" The next moment, Li Yu pushed Ye Zhaoqing away, stood up straight, cast a cold look at the maid who fell on the ground, and ordered sharply: "Come on! She dragged down! Death with a rod!"

Several court ladies all knelt down at once, and the court lady who almost bumped into Li Yu also got up from the ground. Hearing these words, her pretty face turned pale with fright, and she kowtowed for mercy : "Princess Concubine! The servant didn't do it on purpose! I beg you to spare the servant!"

It was Li Yu who said he wanted to kill her, but she begged Ye Zhaoqing for love.

Ye Zhaoqing glanced at the maid, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"His Royal Highness, what happened outside?" At this moment, a servant suddenly came out from the inner hall and spoke respectfully to Li Yu.

Li Yu snorted coldly, glanced at the father-in-law, and said angrily: "Just as I came out with the Crown Princess, this lowly maid almost bumped into me without eyes!"

"Your Highness, the servant didn't do it on purpose!" the palace woman cried and said, but she moved her body and kowtowed to Ye Zhaoqing: "Princess Concubine, the servant has no intention of seducing His Royal Highness! Please don't Kill the servants with sticks!"

When the servant heard this, he immediately turned his head and looked at Ye Zhaoqing suspiciously.

Ye Zhao clearly saw a hint of sarcasm in the servant's eyes.

Ye Zhaoqing understands what he means, he just married into the East Palace today and became a princess, if he killed a palace lady who bumped into the prince in less than a day, he would be dubbed a 'jealous woman' immediately. It is possible to offend the emperor.

She thought for a while, smiled slightly, turned her head to Li Yu and said, "Your Highness, she didn't bump into you, let's forget about it! We are getting married today, it is not appropriate to see blood."

She did not refute a single word of the allegations in that Gong'e's words.

On the other hand, Li Yu gave Gong'e a fierce look with his eyes, and said, "I hate a scheming person like you the most! Get out! If you run into my hands next time, you will definitely be killed!"

After hearing this, the maid felt as if she had been pardoned, she immediately knelt down and kowtowed in gratitude, "Thank you, my servant, the prince! Thank you, the concubine, for not killing me!"

At this time, she still did not forget to pull Ye Zhaoqing.

Li Yu's eyes immediately sank, he stepped forward, kicked Gong'e's chest fiercely, and said word by word: "From the beginning to the end, the princess never said that she wanted to kill you, she wanted to kill you!" The person in question is Ben Gong! Why do you always involve her!"

That Gong'e was kicked like a kite with a broken string, landed a few feet away, spit out a mouthful of blood, it can be seen how hard Li Yu's kick was.

Li Yu was still angry and rushed forward to kick him, but Ye Zhaoqing grabbed him and persuaded him, "Your Highness, forget it."

Just this one sentence made Li Yu's anger slowly dissipate, he turned his head and gave Gong'e a fierce look, then turned his head and said to the servant who was standing blankly watching the excitement: "Eunuch Cao, you go back! If your father asks, you should tell the truth."

Eunuch Cao rolled his eyes, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Your Highness, this servant knows what to say and what not to say." Xu was afraid that others would hear him, so when he spoke, he deliberately lowered his voice.There is quite a flattering meaning in the tone.

Li Yu's expression changed when he heard the words, he glanced at him coldly and said, then turned his head to the other maids and said in a deep voice: "What happened just now, tell Eunuch Cao!"

The ladies in the palace were trembling all over, and they didn't dare to look at Li Yu when they heard the words, they lowered their heads almost to their knees: "Returning to Your Highness, just now Xiao Wu sprained her foot and almost hit you, Your Highness was offended by you, saying that she was going to be shot, and from the beginning to the end, the Crown Princess didn't say a word."

It turned out that the maid's name was Xiao Wu.

After hearing this, Ye Zhaoqing turned to look at her, but Xiao Wu's head was almost vertical to the ground, she couldn't see the expression on her face at all.

"If Eunuch Cao doesn't believe it, there are quite a few guards and eunuchs standing outside the main hall. You can call them to confront them." Li Yu said in a deep voice, "It was a capital offense for Xiao Wu to hit me. Why does the princess need to do so much?"

Eunuch Cao never expected that he missed the point of flattering, and actually slapped it on the horse's hoof. He immediately regretted and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, this old slave will definitely relay your words to His Majesty."

Li Yu didn't look at her again, but pulled Ye Zhaoqing and turned around and left.

Eunuch Cao glanced silently, and when he turned around, the expression on his face had become icy: "Come here! Put Xiao Wu under custody!"

"Grandfather, please forgive me!" Xiao Wu immediately cried out with tears in her eyes.

It's a pity that Eunuch Cao is already half-old, so he couldn't appreciate her charming attitude, so he turned around and went into the hall without seeing her.

After he stated everything that happened outside, the emperor laughed: "This Yu'er, it's really..."

"Your Majesty, although it is Xiao Wu's fault, today is the day of the crown prince's great joy, and it is indeed inappropriate to see blood." The queen interjected from the side, "Why does the crown prince not speak to persuade the crown prince..."

"How do you ask her to persuade this kind of thing?" Hearing this, the emperor turned his head to look at the queen and said, "That girl rushed straight at Yu'er! Who knows what she is up to? thought!"

The queen was stunned when she heard the words, why is the emperor defending the princess everywhere today!It's okay to protect the prince, but now there is one more!She felt unhappy, and said unwillingly: "Your Majesty, no matter what, the crown prince is the heir apparent after all, and it is really cruel to kill a court lady..."

"If it were me, then Xiao Wu would be dead now!" The emperor didn't buy it at all when he heard this, and said with a cold snort, "Don't the empress know that tonight is the prince's bridal chamber festivities? Xiao Wu alone Gong'e, stopped the prince halfway and entangled him for a long time, and delayed his precious time! Just now you told me that heirs are a big deal, but why are you so obsessed with this matter?"

In the emperor's heart, Xiao Wu, a court lady, is naturally not as important as the consummation of the prince's marriage.

The queen finally understood the crux of the problem, she smiled awkwardly, and said: "What the emperor said is that I am stupid..."

"You, you know how to think about a court lady, why don't you know how to think more about the prince?" The emperor sighed and said, "It's lucky that Yu'er has called you the queen mother for so many years!"

The Queen's expression darkened immediately upon hearing this.

But at this time, a woman's low laughter sounded in the hall: "Your majesty, you don't know that the empress is eating fast and reciting Buddha during this time, and she doesn't want to see people kill. A living person standing here will be executed. She It's just that I can't bear it in my heart, it's not that I don't think about His Royal Highness."

Hearing this, the emperor glanced back at the enchanting concubine who had spoken, and his expression eased: "Concubine Liu is right. Today, Yu'er is a canonized woman and married again. It is indeed not appropriate to see blood." Pulled the court lady down and sent her directly to the Clothes Bureau.

Concubine Rong Gui who was at the side immediately showed a hint of viciousness on her face when she heard the words, she cast a sinister look at Concubine Liu who was smiling and smiling, and did not answer.

hateful!The emperor still dotes on that foxy Concubine Liu very much!

And judging from the situation just now, the Queen and Concubine Liu have joined forces to deal with him.

But don't be afraid, I have a prince!

Concubine Rong read silently, giving herself a reassurance.

……

After several twists and turns, Ye Zhaoqing and Li Yu finally returned to the East Palace on the imperial chariot.

But the matter is not over yet, the middle hall has Hebei wine prepared, Ye Zhaoqing and Li Yu have had a drink together, the wedding procedure can be considered as complete.

"You all go down first!" With a wave of Li Yu's hand, all the palace people retreated, only him and Ye Zhaoqing were left in Nuo Da's luxurious bedroom.

Ye Zhaoqing immediately put away the generosity and gentleness on his face, and said expressionlessly: "Is there nothing you want to say to me, Your Highness?"

As soon as Li Yu saw her like this, he knew that Ye Zhaoqing had seen through the fact that he pretended to be weak and deliberately ate her tofu.In fact, when he dodged Xiao Wu back then, Li Yu knew that what he did would definitely arouse Ye Zhaoqing's suspicion.

But at that time he couldn't care about anything else, if he was really knocked down by Xiao Wu, where would he put the face of the dignified prince?The queen had more to say.

"Good Qinger, I have no choice." Li Yu sat down beside Ye Zhaoqing with a smile, and stretched out his hand to hold her hand: "Just forgive me this time?"

"Stop." Ye Zhaoqing quickly withdrew his hand, not giving Li Yu a chance to hold it, and his tone was still cold: "Your Highness, you haven't forgotten our previous agreement?"

Even though it was expected, Li Yu's heart full of anticipation was greatly hurt.He glanced at Ye Zhaoqing with some grievances, and said, "Qing'er, we are already married..."

"But isn't this marriage originally intended to detoxify His Highness?" Ye Zhaoqing said coldly: "Combined with today's events, detoxification is urgent, let's start tonight!"

Li Yu was stunned immediately after hearing the words: "Isn't it? Qing'er, I'm too tired today, you should give me a rest..."

"No!" Ye Zhaoqing immediately shook his head: "You can't delay any longer, don't you understand, Your Highness? The people behind it didn't expect His Highness to resist in the past, and it will definitely get worse in the future! You can only survive if you detoxify now. !"

"Otherwise, our Great Zhou Dynasty will produce a prince who will be deposed in less than a month."

After hearing these words, Li Yu understood that Ye Zhaoqing was not trying to scare her, so he took a deep look at her.In the sleeping hall illuminated by bright red candles, a beauty is sitting under the lamp, her face set off by a gorgeous attire is bright and moving, it is a beautiful scene that has never been seen before.

Li Yu swallowed involuntarily, and his heart gradually felt hot, but at this moment, the beauty opposite him stood up, frowned and reached out to reach for the big phoenix crown on her head.

"Wearing this must be very tiring!" Li Yu's eyes lit up, and he immediately moved over.

I don't know how the maids did it, but the phoenix crown was very secure on Ye Zhaoqing's head, and she couldn't take it off for a while.

"Don't move, I'll pick it off." Li Yu said, putting his hands together, carefully pushing aside the jade hairpins, and carefully took off the phoenix crown from Ye Zhaoqing's head.

Ye Zhaoqing immediately felt much more comfortable.She glanced at Li Yu and said: "I'm going to change my clothes, and then I'll prepare things for detoxification. With the time left, Your Highness should rest for a while to refresh himself." As she spoke, she looked around the bedroom for a week, Lift your feet and go to the side hall on the right.

Li Yu involuntarily raised his heel and stepped up.

Ye Zhaoqing turned her head immediately when she heard footsteps.

Embarrassment suddenly appeared on Li Yu's face, and there was even a tinge of blush on his fair cheeks. He rubbed his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Qing'er, the clothes on my body are also three layers inside and three layers outside... ..."

"When I finish changing, you have plenty of time to change." Ye Zhaoqing gave Li Yu a warning look, and said, "Don't follow me. Do you hear me?"

Li Yu nodded in a daze.

Ye Zhaoqing turned around and left. After entering the side hall, she raised her hand and closed the door of the hall.

Li Yu stood there blankly and did not follow.

After a while, there was the sound of rustling changing clothes and the sound of running water.

Listening to these voices, Li Yu imagined that Ye Zhaoqing had already changed out of that cumbersome costume at this time, wondering what kind of gorgeous skin was under those layers of clothes...

His eyes dimmed, but he turned around and walked, calling Liu'er in from the outside: "Find a normal suit and send it in for the Crown Princess."

Liu'er blinked her eyes, glanced at Li Yu and said, "Why doesn't Your Highness send it by himself?"

Li Yu's expression was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, and then he glared: "What's wrong? I can't command you, can you?"

"No, no!" Liu'er shook her head hurriedly, smiled embarrassedly, turned around to look for clothes, and she was in charge of everything about Ye Zhaoqing.

After a while, she walked towards the side hall with a set of palace clothes.Li Yu followed behind, stretching his neck to look in.

Fortunately Liu'er couldn't see his appearance, otherwise it would be another laugh.

The door of the side hall was opened, but there was mist inside. Even if Li Yu stretched his neck to the limit, he couldn't see anything. He could only smell a very elegant medicinal fragrance.

Other doctors had a very bitter medicinal smell, but the medicinal smell on Ye Zhaoqing's body was very good, an indescribable smell.

Li Yu couldn't see the beautiful image, so Li Yu tried to smell the smell.

Liu'er sent the clothes in and out, and what she saw was his intoxicated appearance.

"Your Highness, if you want to see it, go in and see it!" Liu Er said with a smile.Before Li Yu got angry, she quickly said: "The dinner servants have ordered someone to set it up in the front hall. Your Highness, don't forget to tell the Crown Princess." After finishing speaking, she slipped away at an extremely fast speed.

so rude!Li Yu turned around and gave her a hard look, but he didn't feel how angry he was. Standing there, he quietly listened to the sound of water in the inner room. At this moment, he suddenly felt very stable in his heart.

After a while, the door of the side hall opened from the inside.

Ye Zhaoqing appeared at the door, wearing the palace dress that Liu Er sent in, her hair was wet behind her back, the heavy lead on her face was washed away, and the skin on her face showed a kind of high-quality porcelain under the candlelight. Only with a lustrous luster, at this moment, she is breathtakingly beautiful.

Li Yu stared blankly, unable to recover for a long time.

"It looks like you're not tired yet?" Ye Zhaoqing rolled his eyes and said, "Go in quickly! After changing my clothes, I'm going to prepare the antidote..."

Li Yu regained his composure at this moment, raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't be busy with that, Liu'er has prepared dinner, it's a busy day, you must be hungry."

Ye Zhaoqing's expression eased when she heard the food. She glanced at Li Yu and said, "Your Highness, go and change clothes and wash up. I'll come as soon as I go. Let's have dinner together later."

"You want to wait for me?" Li Yu heard a hint of joy on his face.

Ye Zhaoqing nodded immediately: "That's right!" After she finished speaking, she saw the excitement on Li Yu's face, she immediately put away the smile on her face, and hurried to the outer hall after a few words.

Li Yu didn't rush to the side hall until her figure disappeared.

When Ye Zhaoqing and Liu'er prepared all the materials for the medicinal bath, as well as the silver needles for removing poison, they just sat down at the table when Li Yu came over in his normal clothes.

"It's pretty fast, eat quickly!" Ye Zhaoqing said, picking up the chopsticks with a calm expression.

Li Yu nodded, picked up the bowls and chopsticks on the table, and when the food was in his mouth, he felt extremely happy at this moment.

But this sense of happiness only lasted for a meal.

After the meal, when he took off his outer shirt and went into the barrel of medicinal bath, he immediately screamed, and a look of pain appeared on Jun's face.

"Qing'er! Why is the bath water so hot..."

Ye Zhaoqing said calmly: "That's because there are drugs in it. Your poison is more stubborn. The previous methods can only suppress it, but can't detoxify it. I only discovered all this when you fainted today. Those poisons have returned to your body. among."

"Then why didn't I pass out?" Li Yu was immediately taken aback when he heard this.

Ye Zhaoqing glanced at him, and calmly said: "Haven't you passed out already? If it wasn't for my overbearing silver needle, which temporarily suppressed the toxin, you would never have walked out of Huaiqing Palace straight away, and still had the mind to kill the maid."
