Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 131 The End of the Beginning
"Returning to Your Majesty, my wife caught a cold on the way and has been ill for a long time, so she cannot come to see her. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Zhao Deji was speechless, and he didn't know whether Hua Rong was really sick or he didn't want to see him. He only talked about rewards for meritorious deeds. The 2000 troops, called the "Shenwu Empress Army", were stationed in Xiangyang.

His subordinates Zhang Xian and others were all rewarded and promoted.

Yue Pengju heard that Xiangyang was released, the sky is high and the earth is far away, it is the ideal result that he and Hua Rong discussed, it is in line with his own wishes, thank God, he is going to step down.

He hurried out, Zhao Deji suddenly asked again: "Is Hua Rong seriously ill?"

"It's not serious, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

He stood up and went down, beckoning, Eunuch Kang sent a brocade box, and he himself took off a jade pendant from his body.

"Pengju, this jade pendant is a wedding gift I gave her at the beginning, you can just give it to her..." The jade pendant was just in Hua Rong's hands, and it was used to help the old fisherman escape from the boat. Zhao Deji rewarded Lin Zhijie, the old fisherman and others generously, and only wanted this jade pendant back as a souvenir.

"There is also a box of ginseng and shouwu prescribed by the imperial doctor, and you give it to Hua Rong as a gift from me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhao Deji watched him go out, his back was unusually tall and straight, extremely heroic, he felt a little melancholy, Rong'er, from now on, she will be the wife of this imperial general!

But, Rong'er, why didn't she even want to enter the palace for the last time?Is it because you are afraid that you will never return?
He was angry, but helpless.

That night, a larger-scale fireworks show was held in the palace.

Zhao Deji's only son was taken care of and played by Pan Yingying and others. Unexpectedly, the fireworks exploded, and the little prince was so frightened that he burst into tears and almost fainted.

Zhao Deji felt sorry for his son and urgently ordered to stop the fireworks. When he rushed to see his son, he saw his son's lips were black and thin, as if he was going to die at any time.

He hugged the only congenitally deficient son tightly, comforted him for a while, and saw him sleeping peacefully, he realized so eagerly in his heart: he must have another son, otherwise, if something goes wrong, he would not even be able to choose the heir to the throne.

All the concubines can naturally figure out the emperor's mind, and they are all gearing up to fight secretly who can lead the husband to marry the other princes.However, since he fled twice, once he got off the court lady Song Xixi, and once he got off Wu Jinnu, both of them were terrified. Before he knew it, Zhao Deji's interest in the housework was greatly reduced. Interrupted by the fear in my heart.

However, today, his strong desire to have a child made him desire again. Seeing all the concubines with heavy makeup and light makeup, fat and thin, especially Zhang Yingying, who is the most beautiful among all the women, his heart moved, and he said: "Miss Zhang , you go to bed tonight."

Zhang Yingying stood out from the crowd of concubines, surprised and delighted, Wu Jinnu, Pan Yingying and others congratulated repeatedly, but hated and jealous, they could only watch helplessly as the officials took Zhang Yingying away affectionately.

The red tent is warm at night, the incense is charming, Zhang Yingying is welcoming in every possible way, Zhao Deji is out of breath, and when he reaches a critical point, the phrase "the golden soldier is coming" suddenly pops up in his mind, and a certain part of his body shrinks rapidly, and he collapses on the bed, sweating profusely .

"Official, official..."

Zhang Yingying burst into tears in fright.

Zhao Deji's face was pale, and his voice was low: "If you dare to reveal a word about today's matter, I will punish you from the nine clans..."

Zhang Yingying knelt naked in front of him, almost fainted from fright.

On the second day, Wu Jinnu, Pan Yingying and others wanted to congratulate her to check on the situation, but they saw that Pan Yingying's neck and face were covered with bruises.

Zhang Yingying forced a smile on her face, the two of them didn't understand why, and in the future it was her turn to sleep with the two of them, only then did she know the secret of the official family's "impotence", when the desire came up, she couldn't vent, so she bit and scratched on the concubine.The three of them were so scarred that they no longer dared to go to bed, and tried every means to replace them with maids, each of them tragically realized that the hope of having a son was basically completely shattered.

But Pan Yingying was in high spirits, and took good care of her congenitally deficient son, secretly praying that the impotence of the official family would never be cured, and that other women in the palace would never have another son.

Winter and twelfth lunar month.

After experiencing the war and the ravages of the Golden Army, the scenery along the way was bleak, but it couldn't hide a bit of the New Year's approach. Tomorrow night is New Year's Eve.

Yue Pengju led his troops back to Xiangyang.

Zhang Xian caught up: "It seems that we have to spend this New Year's Eve on the marching road."

Yue Pengju said with a smile: "It's not good on the march, we must hurry back."

"That's right, the family members are waiting. Pengju, sister-in-law is also waiting for you."

Yue Pengju heard the word "sister-in-law", with an extremely gentle expression in his eyes: "Yes, she is waiting for me, and it must be urgent. We have to hurry up."

After a month or two of family members being stationed, the abandoned manor is already full of people.

Hua Rong was taken care of by Zhang Xian's wife, Fourth Sister Gao, and she recovered from her illness. She only described it as haggard and sickly.After escaping from the sea, I have been sluggish, not because of illness, but tiredness, that kind of deep tiredness, I don't want to do anything, I don't want to think about anything, I just want to be peaceful and clean.

After being separated from Yue Pengju for a long time, I was worried about whether his entrance to the palace would go well. I hoped for his return every day, and I couldn't eat or sleep well, making me even more haggard.

Fortunately, there are many children in the family, and they run around vigorously all day long, full of laughter and laughter.Fourth Sister Gao knew that she could read and write, so she pestered her to teach her sons to read and write. She agreed, and when the other female relatives learned that they also sent their children, she did not refuse. She has raised thirty or forty children, and she reads aloud every day, and the children respectfully call her "Mr. Hua".

She had never experienced such a life, and felt novel and warm, and finally had some comfort in her soul.

When I woke up this morning and heard sporadic firecrackers, I knew it was New Year's Eve.

During the two days of Chinese New Year, the children were on vacation and did not study, and she was fine, just sitting at the table, staring at the brazier in a daze.

Fourth Sister Gao is a gentle woman. She opened the door and came in. Seeing her listless, she said softly, "Sister, are you feeling unwell?"

"No. It's been fine recently."

"Brother Yue and the others will be back soon. Don't worry, let's have some Yuanxiao first."

"Thank you, Fourth Sister Gao."

Looking through the open window, Hua Rong realized that it was snowing like goose feathers.She was a little worried: "The weather is so bad, I don't know if Pengju and the others can make it back in time."

"Yes, definitely! I have ordered a New Year's Eve dinner to reward the army."

Hua Rong sighed: "Fourth Sister Gao, I was lingering in a sick bed a few days ago, everything is thanks to you."

"My younger sister can go to battle to kill the enemy, and Wen can teach and practice calligraphy. I can't compare with other girls. Therefore, I can only take care of these logistical matters. It can also be regarded as a share for my husbands..."

Fourth Sister Gao has already gone out to give orders to the kitchen. All day long, she and the female relatives have been busy tidying up the garden and decorating it with lights.

Hua Rong thought to himself, it must be to welcome New Year's Eve.

New Year's Eve is always full of joy.

For many years, she spent New Year's Eve alone. Last year, she experienced life and death in the Golden Camp, so she misses Yue Pengju even more deeply at this moment. If she could spend it with him, how happy would she be?
She stood alone by the door and watched the swaying wind and snow. In the evening, there was no one. Gradually, she became disappointed. She smelled the aroma of all kinds of meat and delicacies, but she had no emotion, so she went back to the house and closed it. The window sits.

The door was pushed open with a "bang". Before she could react, she was already hugged tightly by a man covered in wind and snow: "Sister, you really miss me..."

She laughed out loud in his arms, and after a long time, she raised her head, wiped off the wind and snow on his body, pulled him to sit by the brazier, held his cold hands together and put them by the fire to roast.

He put his arms around her lithe body, seeing that she was still pale, he was a little worried: "Sister, are you alright?"

"Okay, everything is fine."

I didn't have much spirit at first, but after meeting him, my spirit became better.

She put her arms around his neck: "Pengju, I've been worried about you, but now I'm finally relieved."

"Don't worry, we will go to Xiangyang, no one will disturb us again."

"Ah."

Fourth Sister Gao knocked on the door and came in, holding a new set of clothes in her hand: "I discussed with Zhang Xian, taking advantage of tonight's New Year's Eve, we might as well arrange your marriage..."

Hua Rong blushed, and only then did she suddenly realize that the fourth sister Ganqing Gao and others have been busy today not only because of New Year's Eve, but also preparing the wedding banquet for herself and Yue Pengju.

Yue Pengju was smiling all over his face. Obviously, Zhang Xian had already asked for his opinion.

He took the red coat with his own hands, and Fourth Sister Gao tactfully withdrew and closed the door.

Yue Pengju said softly, "Sister, let me change it for you."

She hummed in a low voice, allowing him to awkwardly put on the bright red new dress for herself, and she didn't know if other women got married, and the husband put on the wedding dress himself.

The mansion was full of seats.

With the sound of firecrackers and the interlacing of cups and cups, everyone was immersed in this beautiful day intertwined with New Year's Eve and wedding.Eat and drink, talk and laugh.

Yue Pengju held Hua Rong and stood in the hall.

Zhang Xian was the officiant and shouted:
"One Worship"

"Second Worship Hall"

"Happy Couple"

"..."

There was a lot of laughter and laughter.

No one noticed that in the corner, a big man slowly stood up from a group of drunken soldiers, turned and walked out.

It was windy and snowy outside, and his steps were heavy.

The cold wind made the wounds on her shoulders and waist ache. One was seriously injured by Jin Jun's spiked mace when Jin rescued her, and the other was shot when she was fighting against Jin Jun's guard in the sea.

In the eardrums, there was a sound like a devil urging her to die, "Send to the bridal chamber"...

"Sent into the bridal chamber..."

"Send to the bridal chamber!"

……

He covered his ears, took out a piece of yellowed paper from his pocket, laughed maniacally, lifted the paper with his hands, and the Geng Tie with their names written on it fell to the ground and broke into pieces, like yellowed dead butterflies all over the sky.

"The hatred of taking your wife is a shame! Yue Pengju, if I don't kill you, I swear I won't be a human being!"

……

In the bridal chamber, it was a different scene.

The room carefully arranged by Sister Gao and a group of female relatives is full of red and happy, and the bed is sprinkled with longans, peanuts, lotus seeds and other things.

Yue Pengju gently brushed away the things all over the bed, and sat down next to Hua Rong, under the candlelight, but saw that her face was flushed, her eyes were charming, and she was gorgeous.

His heart fluttered: "Sister, I'm so happy..."

She was so looked at by him that she almost lowered her head, and couldn't help but push him: "Idiot..."

Yue Pengju smiled, hugged her joyfully, and hung the curtain with tassels down, covering the room full of boundless spring scenery...
