MTL - The Crown Prince Chases His Wife-Chapter 134 wedding

Xishan, Fengyu Palace.

Prince Feng Zhan strode into the meeting room, and he caught Qin Yan sitting at the top of the room at a glance, flexing his fingers and tapping on the side table.

Seeing this, Feng Zhan calmed down a bit, his sword brows loosened slightly, and he continued to move forward.

Although Feng Zhan had a rough understanding of the matter on the way here, he can only feel relieved when he sees Qin Yan's safety in person.

At this time in the hall, the servants were kneeling by the dark guard, Feng Zhan crossed them to the front of Qin Yan, and said solemnly:

"Are you okay?"

Qin Yan shook her head, but her eyes still stayed on the woman who was being held on the ground by the dark guard, who was wearing a moon-white ru skirt and bowed her head silently.

Feng Zhan turned around and sat down on the large chair next to Qin Yan, and asked Ji Nanfeng, who was standing beside Qin Yan, in a cold voice:

"what happened?"

Ji Nanfeng nodded to the prince and said:

"The bird's nest that was delivered to the master's study today was planted with 'Sha Chilan'. This is a highly poisonous western region known to be colorless and odorless, and the entrance is blocked."

"Because my subordinates deal with medicines and poisons all the year round, they are very sensitive to poisons. Fortunately, the subordinates were handling official business with the master in the study at that time, and when they took the tray of soup cups from the maid, they immediately noticed that something was wrong."

"The properties of this poison have been verified by subordinates, and it is indeed a highly poisonous western region, 'Sha Chilan'."

Feng Zhan's long and narrow black eyes narrowed suddenly, and a cold light burst out.

Tomorrow is the wedding, and today someone dares to attack the Crown Princess in Fengyu Palace!

------

Ji Nanfeng continued:

"The subordinate immediately ordered the dark guard to block the entire Fengyu Palace and control everyone who might handle this bowl of soup today."

"According to what this maid said, the only abnormality today was that she was accidentally bumped into by Miss Qin Fulin who was in a hurry on her way from the pantry to deliver the soup cup."

"The dark guard also invited Lin back not far from Fengyu Palace..."

"Ah..." At this moment, a painful wailing suddenly came from the hall, interrupting Ji Nanfeng's words.

The people in the hall who were kneeling on the ground immediately dispersed from the source of the sound, except for "Qin Lin" who was still being held by two secret guards.

"Qin Lin" twisted and struggled abnormally, howling in pain.

Not long after, "Qin Lin"'s skeleton suddenly became larger, and the ru skirt on her body was also split open, causing everyone in the hall to be stunned.

Although Qin Lin, who has grown taller at this time, is still relatively thin, it is obvious that it is a man's body, not a woman.

This is…

Bone shrinkage?

Ji Nanfeng immediately stepped forward and ordered the dark guard to investigate behind "Qin Lin"'s ear.

really!

The dark guard tore off a special mask on "Qin Lin"'s face, revealing his original face.

It's him!

The pianist Su Qing!

Su Qing, a pianist who once performed in the Qianshui Lake Hongxiaofang and now performed in the Shuyufang.

This person can actually shrink the bones, and is very skilled in disguising, and people who are not very familiar with him have not noticed the slightest abnormality.

A strange smile suddenly appeared on Su Qing's face, Ji Nanfeng made a gesture, and the dark guard immediately stepped forward and grabbed Su Qing's jaw with his hand, pulled out a pill that Su Qing was hiding in his teeth and fell to the ground.

It should be the poison prepared in advance, this person wants to die.

The dark guard pulled a rope from his waist and restrained Su Qing's mouth to prevent him from committing suicide by biting his tongue.

After delivering Princess New Moon from the Prince's Mansion, Song Zhi, who hurried over, saw the skillful and smooth operation of the Dark Guard, and praised him in his heart.

It seems that the subordinates of the Crown Princess have encountered these situations.

And Su Qing's face was gray and defeated, he really didn't expect that he would be unable to escape today.

Originally, he only had to leave the gate of Fengyu Palace a little further, and when he changed out of the clothes he had prepared in the forest and returned to his man's attire, how could the people of Fengyu Palace hold him.

He never thought that Fengyu Palace's secret guards would move so quickly.

------

Qin Yan looked at Su Qing in the hall and sneered:

"Su Qing?"

"In Hongxiaofang, you were named by He Xiao, but you went straight to me and Princess Jingyi's private room to ask for help."

"After entering our box, you told Feng Yuyao that you were originally from Lingnan, which made Feng Yuyao interested in you."

"Feng Yuyao has a good heart, worried that you will be retaliated by He Xiao, and asked you to go with her. While you are here with me, you ask me if there is a violinist in my house."

"After being sent away by the prince and Shen Ci, you turned to Qin Xi and Qin Lin. You were playing ice in Qianshui Lake that day. You should not be the only time you had close contact with them."

"Familiar with the Qin sisters, you should know more or less about their contact with me. You also know that Qin Lin is allowed to come to the library occasionally to read books."

"You turned into Qin Lin, entered the Fengyu Palace unimpeded, and wanted to attack me."

"The people behind you use you to do this. It's very smart. As long as my people are one step behind, who would know that you will be the Qin Lin they are looking for?"

Qin Yan stretched out a pair of slender white hands and gently stroked them:

"For many years, there have been many people who want my life."

"And today, it is the first time that the killer can reach me at such a close distance, and I almost succeeded. It is really capable."

Ji Nanfeng, who was standing in the hall, and Qin Yan's subordinates were both self-blame and fearful.

If there is no problem with the bird's nest today, the consequences will be disastrous.

Prince Feng Zhan coldly instructed Song Zhi:

"Take this person to the Prince's Mansion's dark prison for a strict trial."

"Find out all the information related to this person and find out who is behind it."

"Let all the people in the Qin Mansion, Minister of Industry, immediately go to the Prince's Mansion to ask questions."

"Yes, Your Highness." Song Zhi took the order.

------

On the way back from Xishan to the city, Princess New Moon sat in the swaying carriage, frowning in thought.

I don't know if his actions towards the prince Feng Zhan today will be noticed by him.

It's a pity that it didn't work, otherwise...

"My lord." One person and one horse came over from the back of the car, interrupting Princess New Moon's thoughts.

Princess Crescent stopped the carriage.

External report:

"My lord, the person didn't come back. The person who responded said that they saw him being taken back to Fengyu Palace, and I don't know if they have succeeded."

The carriage continued to move forward, and Princess New Moon frowned in thought.

Su Qing was a capable general she had buried in Daxia for many years. She was quite capable. It shouldn't be difficult for him to escape today, but Feng Yugong's reaction was so quick.

It seems that Qin Yan's strength is really unfathomable.

But that "Sha Chilan" was killed in the throat, only to see if Qin Yan was caught.

Judging from this trip to Daxia, the Crown Princess Qin Yan is the main battle, and she will not give in half a point on side affairs. Qin Yan did not even give face to such a powerful Turk, let alone their southern border.

And now Qin Yan's mother is about to become the Queen of Beiliang, which will increase her power even more.

Prince Feng Zhan's defense was like an iron barrel, and there was no chance to attack, and they had been preparing for so long before they found a breakthrough from Crown Princess Qin Yan.

I hope Su Qing's trip goes well, so it's not a pity to lose a general.

If the Crown Princess Qin Yan died, it should be able to slow down Daxia's tough attitude at the border.

And the prince Feng Zhan...

Princess New Moon closed her eyes and forcibly pushed out the delusions that popped up in her mind.

Shi Yue, in this life, apart from working hard for Southern Border, what else can you expect?

------

On the evening of March 15, Prince Feng Zhan was escorted by the Prince's Mansion to the Imperial City and stayed in the East Palace.

The next day, March 16, the Prince's wedding.

In the morning, Prince Feng Zhan and Prince Concubine Qin Yan went to the Fengtian Palace in the Imperial City and Fengyu Palace in Xishan respectively to perform rituals.

After the ceremony was completed, the Jiaofang Secretary played a great music, and the prince Feng Zhan, wearing a nine-zhang robe, mounted his horse outside the Fengtian Hall, escorted by the Prince's Mansion's personal soldiers and the Nanya Forbidden Army, accompanied by the crown prince's concubine. The welcoming team went out from the Meridian Gate and went to Xishan Fengyu Palace to greet the Crown Princess in person.

Shangjing was crowded with people and alleys were empty, and they all went to the market to witness this grand event with their own eyes.

His Royal Highness actually went to greet the Crown Princess in person. This is really as rumored. His Royal Highness really values ​​this Crown Princess very much.

Chen Shi, the prince Feng Zhan laid a pair of live geese on the incense table in the main hall of Fengyu Palace. With the habit of geese pairing for life and being dependent on each other, it means that the prince and the prince concubine are unswervingly committed, accompanied by their lifelong prayers and oaths.

The Crown Princess Qin Yan wore a gold-inlaid orb-pointed emerald four-phoenix crown, and was dressed in a woven gold-dragon and phoenix-patterned gown. She was sent out of the Fengyu Palace by the people of the Zhenguo Gongfu, got on the ceremonial sedan chair, and went to the imperial city.

At that time, the welcoming team entered the Imperial City from the Meridian Gate, entered the East Palace, and performed a salutation ceremony in the inner hall.

In the inner hall of the East Palace, the crown prince is seated in the east, facing west; the crown prince is seated in the west, facing east. And each worship is located in the south of the seat, the wine table is located in the middle and slightly south, and two nobles and two crowns are placed on the table.

The prince and the prince concubine each took their place. Crown Prince Feng Zhan bowed twice, Crown Princess Qin Yan bowed four times, and then the Crown Prince and Crown Princess ascended their seats in the hall.

The two deaconesses brought the food case before the prince and the princess, and the female court venerable took the golden jue to drink wine.

The prince and the prince concubine each received a drink, and the female officials entered the meal.

The female official brought in the wine with the golden jue, and the prince and the prince concubine drank it. When the female officials entered the meal, they all finished the meal.

The female officials then drank the wine in a cup and made a harmony before proceeding. The prince and the prince concubine both drank and entered the meal, and they all took the meal.

After three drinks and meals, the deacon thoroughly cooks the case. 【1】

At this point, the ceremony is over.

The prince and the princess entered the wedding room.

No one dared to go to the East Palace to make a bridal chamber, that would be boring.

------

One day after the ceremony, the prince Feng Zhan and his concubine Qin Yan visited the sage and the empress at the Qianqing Palace, and presented them with gifts. After that, Qin Yan and Feng Zhan returned to Xishan Fengyu Palace.

The prince Feng Zhan married the prince concubine in the East Palace of the Imperial City, in order to correct Qin Yan's name, so he chose to pay his respects in the East Palace.

But first, Feng Zhan and Qin Yan both have some complicated affairs, and their subordinates often go in and out of the palace, and the palace is no more convenient than Xishan.

Second, Xishan Fengyu Palace was remodeled by Qin Yan according to her preferences, making it more comfortable to live in. Feng Zhan was reluctant to let Qin Yan enter the East Palace, so he did not propose that the two would live in the East Palace after marriage and still live in Xishan.

One day after the wedding, the prince and his concubine visited the imperial temple.

On the third day after the ceremony, the envoys and hundreds of officials of the various countries congratulated them in the Fengtian Hall, and the women inside and outside were ordered to congratulate them in the East Palace.

At the banquet, many people saw the newly promoted Princess Huayang for the first time, and she was also the mother of the Crown Princess, Shen Shiying.

Everyone was amazed that the mother and daughter of Princess Huayang and the Crown Princess were both extremely beautiful and noble, and it would be no exaggeration to say that they were the darlings of God.

In today's Fengtian Palace, the envoys of various countries, including the Turkic Khan and the King of Xirong, have no longer acted as demons.

Princess New Moon sank when she saw Qin Yan, the Crown Princess, who was sitting next to Prince Feng Zhan in the hall.

Qin Yan was so dead.

It seems that Su Qing has more bad luck than good luck.

Qin Yan noticed the exploratory gaze that Princess New Moon cast towards her just now, and she also raised her eyes to look over.

According to Feng Zhan, this New Moon Princess, who was in the Prince's Mansion that day, seemed to have tried to perform illusions on Feng Zhan.

I don't know about Su Qing, is there another handwriting from this person?

------

At today's banquet, although the envoys are not demons, there are other demons.

The Empress Dowager Xiao made a proposal that was reasonable and reasonable at first glance, but concealed evil intentions when she thought about it carefully.

"The prince is married, and the marriage of the other two princes and princesses should also be put on the agenda."

"The second prince and the third prince have also passed the weak crown. When the title is set, choose one of the lands to be the vassal."

"Sir, what do you think?"

The matter of the prince's vassal, Emperor Hui had discussed with the prince and Qin Yan before, and the conclusion was that due to the instability of border affairs, the matter would be delayed.

I didn't expect that Empress Dowager Xiao would propose it at this time. Is she trying to get the ministers to agree?

However, the courtiers were weighing the pros and cons. Before they could speak, the Goryeo envoy spoke first:

"Your Majesty, King Ning set up a vassal land in his early years, should he also leave the capital to become a vassal?"

As soon as these words came out, the hall was instantly silent.

King Ning Fengsui's biological mother, Concubine Li, came from the royal family of the Goryeo Kingdom, and it made sense for the Goryeo envoys to speak to her.

Empress Dowager Xiao looked coldly at King Ning who was drinking by himself.

Feng Sui thinks about it? impossible!

The courtiers who just had the heart to agree that the prince was in charge of the vassal also swallowed the words from his mouth and did not speak any more.

It would be a little troublesome if the vassal brought King Ning along...

And Empress Dowager Xiao did not mention it again, Emperor Hui said:

"We will discuss this matter later." It was over.

------

After the banquet, the members of the royal family left first, and then the envoys and ministers of various countries ordered their wives to leave one after another.

Xie Changyuan has become more and more taciturn these days, until the end of the banquet, he did not give Qin Yan more glances at the Crown Princess, and only dutifully escorted Emperor Hui back to the Qianqing Palace.

Recently, no official family members were invited to the banquet except for the wife, but Wang Jingyi of the Zuo Prime Minister's House is now serving the censor from the sixth-grade censor station, and he can also attend the **** outside the Fengtian Temple today.

A few days ago, after the Shanglinyuan polo match, Han Shuangling returned to the residence of the Marquis of Guannei in Beijing. Later, Wang Jingyi also heard that her sister-in-law proposed to divorce her brother.

While Wang Jingyi and her mother felt sorry for their brother, they also thought that with their father's behavior, once the bond between Han Shuangling, the third prince and the Zuo Xiangfu no longer existed, I was afraid that the father and the third prince would find another relationship. .

That is to say, one of the two direct daughters of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion will marry the third prince Feng Yi.

Her mother urged Wang Jingyi to decide on the marriage as soon as possible, and Wang Jingyi was really thinking about it these days.

At this moment, in a corner outside the corridor of Fengtian Palace, Wang Jingyi found the man she was looking for.

Wang Jingyi recited in her heart what she was about to say to the man, and was about to walk over, when she saw the direction the man was staring at...

That was the direction the prince and the princess were leaving, and Xie Zhao's expression...

Wang Jingyi felt a little cold in her heart. Does Xie Zhao have that kind of thought for the Crown Princess?

At the moment, Xie Zhao was in a trance, and he didn't notice Wang Jingyi's exploratory gaze not far away.

Wang Jingyi took back the steps she was about to take, and stayed where she was, her eyes still fixed on the man not far away.

Wang Jingyi checked Xie Zhao after hunting around in autumn last year.

Xie Zhao went to the Pingxi Army in the northwest a few years ago. At that time, Xie Changyuan, the heir of Yongding Houfu, chased Xie Zhao to the Pingxi Army camp because of the incident of the Princess Anyang. If not, return without success.

Wang Jingyi smiled bitterly in her heart. Before, she investigated the case together with Xie Zhao, and Xie Zhao treated her with courtesy, and even made her feel a little bit wrong about whether Xie Zhao also liked her.

And Wang Jingyi also saw Xie Zhao's ambition, and she had enough chips to convince Xie Zhao to agree to marry her.

Wang Jingyi prided herself on being calm and self-sufficient for many years, and finally wanted to indulge for a while, and she took the initiative to fight for something, but she never thought it might be like this.

If Xie Zhao has no intention of other women, Wang Jingyi still has some confidence; but if it is as she guessed, even if the marriage can be made, she, Wang Jingyi, will be humiliating herself.

At this time, on the other side of the corridor, there was also a man in a crimson uniform looking at Wang Jingyi.

Ji Mu didn't stand in the same place for too long, he walked slowly to Wang Jingyi's side, but the woman who had always been very sensitive was so ecstatic that she didn't notice anyone beside her.

Seeing that Wang Jingyi's expression was wrong, Ji Mu followed Wang Jingyi's line of sight and sneered.

Oh, this woman is still unrequited love?

Ji Mu worked together with Wang Jingyi and Xie Zhao before, how could he not see Wang Jingyi's thoughts towards Xie Zhao that he tried to hide. Even that Deputy Commander Xie might not have been unaware of Wang Jingyi's thoughts, he was just pretending to be blind.

And how can he hide his intentions? With the performance of Xie Zhao, he has no intention of Wang Jingyi.

Wang Jingyi This is not unrequited love, what is it?

Thinking of this, Ji Mu laughed at himself, then what are you?

"Would you like to have a drink?" A man's voice suddenly came from her ear, and Wang Jingyi turned to look.

It's him, Mr. Ji.

At this time, Xie Zhao also retracted his gaze and looked towards this side.

Xie Zhao's unwavering gaze swept across the faces of the man and woman not far away, nodded, and then left.

------

At dusk, Ji Mu wrapped a small boat and asked the boatman to roll the boat to the center of Qianshui Lake. He ordered the boatman to leave first in a small boat, leaving him and Wang Jingyi to drink and talk.

At this time, the tourists in Qianshui Lake gradually dispersed, only the lights of the Qianshui Promenade by the lake were lit one after another, and the lively night began.

Wang Jingyi drank the wine cup by cup, as if she had mixed the depression and anguish of the past 20 years into the wine. She usually drinks moderately, and has never been involved with big wine, so she was very drunk at this time, but fortunately, the wine was okay, except for a few vague words occasionally, and there was no sign of alcoholic madness.

And Ji Mu just sat quietly opposite Wang Jingyi, while refilling the wine for Wang Jingyi at the other end of the wine table, while occasionally drinking lightly.

Wang Jingyi's slightly drunk voice was a little soft and waxy, not at all as cold and clear as in the yamen office on weekdays:

"I've been cautious in my words and deeds for so many years, but I still can't escape the arrangement of fate. It's ridiculous."

"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous..."

"After solving He Xiao, who will it be now?"

Ji Mu had some guesses about what Wang Jingyi said.

It should be the marriage of the prince mentioned by Empress Dowager Xiao in Fengtian Palace today.

Is it the third prince, Feng Yi?

It seems that this Miss Wang is unwilling.

Of course, her reluctance was also because of that...

------

Wang Jingyi drank a few more cups and said softly:

"There is someone in his heart..."

"Fortunately, I was almost stupid..."

After Wang Jingyi said this, she began to choked in a low voice.

Ji Mu frowned slightly, and after a few hesitations, he stretched out a big palm, covered a slender white hand that Wang Jingyi placed on the wine table, and patted it lightly.

"You're fine, don't underestimate yourself."

Wang Jingyi slowly raised her eyes, looked at Ji Mu opposite, and tilted her head slightly in confusion:

"Master Ji, are you interested in me?"

At this time, Wang Jingyi was blushing because of drinking too much. She looked at Ji Mu, and there were still some tears in her eyes. I felt pity for this look.

Ji Mu's throat rolled slightly, resisting the dryness in his heart, and turned his face away.

But Wang Jingyi suddenly got up, crossed the wine table, and fell into Ji Mu's arms.

When Ji Mu was caught off guard, Wen Xiang Nuan Yu hugged her arms, but nervously, her hands seemed to have no place to rest, and her ears were red.

The woman in her arms moved, her voice slightly hoarse:

"I heard that men are duplicitous, only their bodies are the most honest, let me see, is this true?"

Before Ji Mu could understand what Wang Jingyi meant, the woman in her arms suddenly put a tender hand under him.

Ji Mu's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe that Wang Jingyi, who had always followed the rules, would do such a thing to him!

After a while, Wang Jingyi raised her head and looked at the man's Adam's apple rolling up and down and his beautiful chin with some hazy eyes, with a serious tone:

"Well, it seems like... um..." Wang Jingyi's slightly raised mouth was suddenly blocked by the man's thin lips, and then Ji Mu turned over and pressed Wang Jingyi under him...

At this time, the cabin is mixed with the strong aroma of wine and the taste of spring brought by the night wind, and the boat is gently shaking with the lake waves in the middle of the lake, shaking…

------

That night, the wife of the prince of Zuo Xiangfu entered the palace to ask to see the queen of Kunning Palace and the concubine of Jingren Palace. 's marriage.

The next day, several imperial decrees were issued in Fengtian Temple.

The second prince, Feng Xian, was named King of Jin; the third prince, Feng Yi, was named King of Liang.

The two newly-appointed princes established their residences in Beijing, and they did not decide on the land for the time being, so they did not need to leave the capital to become a vassal.

Therefore, King Ning continued to stay in the palace of King Ning in the upper capital.

The sage bestowed the marriage of Xie Qing, the young lady of Yongding Hou's mansion, as the concubine of King Jin;

So far, the matter raised by the Empress Dowager Xiao at the Fengtian Temple yesterday has been settled for the time being.

As a result, some people are happy and some are worried.
