Bringing love across time and space

The emperor specially summoned the Imperial Observatory to inform him of the good news that the second prince was about to marry his first wife.

The emperor's tone revealed a hint of urgency, and he asked the Imperial Observatory to find a good day as soon as possible so as to make the marriage happen as soon as possible.

The Imperial Astronomical Observatory did not dare to delay and after much calculation, they finally found that three days later, May 12, would be an auspicious day for marriage.

However, this day was too close, and everyone in the palace had to work hard to catch up.

If they missed this day, they would have to wait another month, which was obviously unacceptable to the emperor and the second prince.

After some discussion, the Emperor and the Second Prince reached a consensus and decided to marry Lin Qingjiao three days later as the Second Prince's principal wife.

So the second prince hurried out of the palace and told Lin Qingjiao and her father, the prime minister, the good news.

Because both the Second Prince's Mansion and the Imperial Palace were frequented by thieves, the betrothal gifts were sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion in a simple manner, and usually consisted of ornaments that had not been stolen.

The total amount of betrothal gifts was 108 loads. There was no gold or silver, only ornaments, and none of them were very valuable.

The second prince's betrothal gift was the most humble ever given to a royal family to marry a princess.

Prime Minister Lin Hai had no choice but to accept it. He had also heard about the theft in the Second Prince's mansion, and the dowry he gave to Lin Qingjiao was not much.

These were all sent by Wang Lina's family in the past few days. They gave Prime Minister Lin a silver note worth 100,000 taels.

The Prime Minister's Mansion used these 100,000 taels to hold the wedding banquet and buy a dowry for Lin Qingjiao.

The Imperial Palace and the Prime Minister's Residence were all busy, making various preparations for the upcoming wedding.

At the same time, the emperor also issued an important imperial decree.

The eldest prince Gu Xijun was named Crown Prince, the second prince Gu Xiyao was named King Yao, the third prince Gu Xian was named King Xian, and the fourth prince Gu Xiwei was named King Wei.

As soon as this decree came out, there was an uproar in the palace.

Some were happy while others were sad. The eldest prince was naturally overjoyed, as his years of hard work had finally been recognized by his father.

However, the Second Prince and his mother, Concubine Jing, were so angry that smoke came out of their crowns. They originally thought that the Second Prince had a chance to compete for the position of Crown Prince, but now they could only watch the First Prince sit on the throne.

The queen was so angry about this sudden change that she fell ill. She had originally hoped that the third prince would be able to inherit the throne, but now all her hopes were in vain.

The Fourth Prince and his mother, Concubine De, were not happy either, because they knew that once this decree was issued, they would no longer have a chance of getting that position.

In fact, the emperor was not really optimistic about the eldest prince. He just felt that as the eldest prince at that time, he could sit on the throne.

Then the current eldest prince should also inherit this position. However, isn't this decree of the emperor also a warning to the second prince and the prime minister?

Although Gu Yuchen woke up from his coma, his body still looked extremely weak and he didn't even have the strength to move.

After some discussion, everyone unanimously decided to rest in Anyu County for a while and set off again after Gu Yuchen's body recovered a little.

Lin Qingya found Liu Shun and told him the decision.

Although Liu Shun was worried, he could only nod in agreement when he saw Gu Yuchen's condition.

At this moment, a new oral order came from the palace, requiring Gu Yuchen and others to

They were waiting in Anyu County for a group of people who were exiled with them to set off together.

However, the person who delivered the message did not reveal the specific identities of these people.

Gu Yuchen couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He didn't know who would be dragged into this unwarranted exile this time.

However, this oral order also gave Gu Yuchen a rare opportunity to recuperate.

They arrived in Anyu County and found a fairly spacious inn to settle down.

Due to limited room availability, Lin Qingya and Gu Yuchen were arranged in the same room.

Firstly, because there was indeed a shortage of rooms, and secondly, it was to make it easier for Lin Qingya to take care of Gu Yuchen.

This made Lin Qingya feel a little embarrassed. Although she was an orphan, she had never lived in the same room with a man.

She had never had any intimate contact with a man, but now she had to be in the same room with Gu Yuchen, which made her feel uneasy.

However, things had come to this point, and she had no choice but to accept the arrangement.

As night fell, everyone prepared to rest after dinner.

Lin Qingya walked slowly to the door of the room, took a deep breath and pushed it open.

The third prince was watching this scene at the end of the corridor. His heart ached as he watched Lin Qingya walk into the room, but he could not stop her.

The third prince turned and left, returned to his room, and asked the waiter to bring him some wine.

Lin Qingya saw Gu Yuchen lying on the bed with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

Lin Qingya looked around and found that there was only a table and two chairs in the room besides a large bed.

She secretly groaned in her heart, but there was nothing she could do.

After thinking for a moment, she decided to put two chairs together and use them as a bed.

That way, she could at least spend the night in the chair.

However, her actions had already attracted Gu Yuchen's attention.

Just as she was about to dock the chairs, Gu Yuchen opened his eyes.

He looked at Lin Qingya's busy figure and couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

He warned her, "It's cold at night. You'll easily catch a cold if you stay in the chair overnight."

Lin Qingya was startled by Gu Yuchen's sudden voice. She came back to her senses.

I smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Majesty, you misunderstood. I don't sleep well.

I am afraid that it will affect your rest. So, I think it is more appropriate for you to sleep on the chair. "

Gu Yuchen couldn't help but laugh when he heard that.

He really didn't like women getting close to him, and the maids in his mansion used to only do rough work.

He had never had a maid to serve him personally. However, at this moment, he did not reject Lin Qingya's approach.

He said softly: "It's okay, this bed is very big, I can make more room for you."

Although Lin Qingya was grateful for Gu Yuchen's thoughtfulness, she still insisted on sleeping on the chair.

She thought to herself, "You're fine, but I'm in trouble! I'm the one who suffers when a man and a woman sleep in the same bed together."

So, she said, "Your Majesty, I appreciate your kindness. But I'd better sleep on the chair. This way it won't bother you."

Seeing that Lin Qingya was determined to do so, Gu Yuchen no longer insisted.

In this way, Lin Qingya spent a long night in the chair.

However, in the middle of the night, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground broke the silence. It turned out that Lin Qingya accidentally fell off the chair in her sleep.

After Gu Yuchen was awakened, he saw Lin Qingya sitting on the ground with her hands covering her buttocks, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Lin Qingya said somewhat unhappily: "Your Majesty, you are still laughing! It's because of you that I fell!"

Gu Yuchen stopped laughing.

She said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to fall off the chair. It's all my fault for not insisting that you go to bed and rest."

Lin Qingya rubbed her buttocks and muttered, "You make it sound so easy! How can a single man and a single woman sleep in the same bed together!"

Gu Yuchen couldn't help but laugh when he heard that.

He secretly sighed in his heart: "This Lin Qingya is an interesting woman. Her every move is full of the shyness and reserve that are unique to women.

It seems that this time the path of exile will not be so boring. "

The next morning, sunlight poured into the room through the window. Gu Yuchen woke up early and felt that his body was fine. He raised his arm and felt no discomfort.

Gu Yuchen found that Lin Qingya was still sleeping in the chair.

He got up quietly, afraid of disturbing her sweet dream.

He walked to the window and opened it to let fresh air flow into the room.

Then, he turned back to Lin Qingya and gently carried Lin Qingya to the bed.

Lin Qingya was awakened from her sleep by Gu Yuchen's actions.

She opened her eyes drowsily and saw Gu Yuchen standing beside the bed looking at her.

She couldn't help but lower her head shyly and whispered, "My Lord, why are you up?"
