The Virgin Mary in the Book: I Decide My Life with Two Swords

Cang Yue Kingdom——Official Road in the Capital

On August 14th, the natural scenery of the Mid-Autumn Festival in northern China is enchanting. The crimson leaves covering the mountains and plains resemble fiery clouds, and the forests are dyed in a vibrant color, making you feel like you are standing in a magnificent oil painting.

Nangong Che received a letter by carrier pigeon early in the morning. After reading the letter, the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "Prince Beichen and Prince Xian both went to Langya Pavilion, and Yelu Zongzheng was also there. Three people, a drama!"

"What does Your Highness mean?" Yue Kun asked.

"The Emperor must be informed of this matter. He is suspicious by nature and will definitely think that these three are plotting something. The Emperor still wants Nangong Xuan to take his place because among the brothers, only Nangong Xuan is exactly the same as him. They must have their own purpose in sending Nangong Xuan to Zhezhou this time. Therefore, the eldest prince cannot be allowed to live. When the King ascends the throne in Japan, Nangong Chen will swallow his anger and not object for the sake of the stability of Cangyue Kingdom. But Nangong Xuan is different. He will rebel regardless of the consequences. Rather than causing trouble at that time, it is better to solve it together."

"But there is also a King Wu," Guangwen reminded.

Nangong Che smiled: "Once King Beichen is severely suppressed, how can King Wu, as his best friend, sit still? He is a brainless warrior, and his mother's family has no power. Once he takes an unconventional approach and the emperor gets angry, he will be finished, and we don't even need to do anything."

"Your Highness is very thoughtful! But Master Jing is also in Zhezhou. Why don't you let him discuss this with Envoy Ye?"

"This matter is always a bit dangerous. Jingchuan will not let Ye Ling take risks, so this matter can only be done by Youminglang and Ye Ling."

"My subordinates understand"

"Youminglang should have arrived in Zhezhou, right?"

"According to the date, it should be here," Yue Kun said, "Your Highness, I'm still confused. We've never dealt with You Ming Lang before, so why did you trust him to deliver the letter to Ye Ling?"

"The Emperor ordered the execution of Youminglang's entire family. It was an injustice that even a fool could see, but the Emperor was ruthless and dealt with them directly, sparing only him. When Ye Tingzhan and Leng Ruxue found him, he had already been castrated and turned into a eunuch, but these two loyal men still managed to rescue him. That's why Youminglang treated Ye Ling so well. Just think about it, with such a huge hatred, whose side would he stand on?"

Yue Kun nodded: "I understand, it turns out that Ye Tingzhan has the grace of rebirth for You Minglang!"

Nangong Che threw the letter into the fire and burned it, then stood up: "Let's go! We have already arrived in the capital."

"Yes," Yue Kun responded, and the huge team started a new day's journey.

At noon that same day, the Langya Pavilion's Immortal Peak was as bustling as ever. Three days had passed since the wedding, and the place was essentially complete, with large red lanterns and red silk everywhere. From afar, it looked like a sea of ​​red.

The bridal chamber was also awash in red, creating a warm atmosphere. The crimson bed curtains fluttered gently, as if expressing the couple's sweetness and happiness. The bed was covered with a crimson quilt embroidered with exquisite patterns, symbolizing the couple's love and longevity.

A pair of red candles stood by the bed, unlit but already emitting a faint fragrance. The table was covered with a variety of fruits and snacks. In the corner of the room stood a dressing table, upon which sat a bronze mirror and cosmetics, where the hostess could dress and put on her best self. The entire bridal chamber was beautifully and warmly decorated, evoking the couple's beautiful vision for their future life.

Ye Ling was stunned after entering the room: "It's so beautiful, so beautiful!"

The matchmaker said cheerfully, "Emissary Ye, do you think my arrangement is okay? Don't worry, the bridal chamber has everything you need, absolutely nothing is missing."

Ye Ling was very satisfied: "I believe you. By the way, are there a lot of rules for entering the bridal chamber?"

"There aren't many. First, there's 'sitting on the bed': after the newlyweds enter the bridal chamber, the man sits on the bed on the left, the woman on the right. Next is 'scattering the bed': scattering some auspicious fruits on the bed, such as dates, chestnuts, peanuts, etc., to symbolize early childbirth and a flourishing life. Then there's 'sharing the meat': the newlyweds eat an animal together, signifying their future life together. Finally, there's 'drinking the wedding wine': drinking from the wedding cup, symbolizing the union of husband and wife," the matchmaker explained patiently.

Ye Ling nodded: "It's indeed not that simple. It seems that getting married is not easy! You guys are busy, I'm going to go out for a walk."

Ye Ling returned to his room in the courtyard, went into the space and changed into men's clothes: "Meng Meng, put on some manly makeup for me."

"What are you going to do now?" Mengmeng asked.

"I want to go out for a stroll. It's easy for people to figure out my identity if I wear women's clothes. It's inconvenient, so I have to hurry up." Ye Ling sat down and closed her eyes, letting Meng Meng put on her makeup. She muttered, "Jiu You is such a heartless guy. He left for several days and didn't even come back to see me. As expected, some masters forget their sisters."

"Master, you were the one who said you were fine on your own. Jiuyou is a straight man, so of course he doesn't understand what you're thinking."

"Hmph," Ye Ling expressed her dissatisfaction. "And there's You Ming Lang. He said he'd arrive around the tenth day of the lunar month, but he hasn't shown up yet. I even had someone clean up the left side room of my yard waiting for him. He has no conscience. None of you want to play with me. Then I can play by myself, right? Go out and find some fun."

Mengmeng shook her head: "You! Okay, you should put less insoles in your shoes. Be careful not to sprain your ankle."

"You're kidding. I've worn eight-centimeter high heels. This is nothing." Ye Ling flashed out of the space and walked out happily.

Passing by the front yard, Bi Cheng looked confused: "Si Shi, what do you want to do now?"

"I'm going out for a walk, you finish the work. By the way, tonight is Mid-Autumn Festival, let's call Zhuang Yi and all the team leaders to have dinner together to celebrate the festival. Cai Yang asked him to go home early to be with his family." After Ye Ling gave the order, he put his hands behind his back and swaggered away from the Immortal Peak.

“I understand” will become the response.

Kangda sighed: "You know what, dressed like this, our envoy really looks like a man!"

Ye Ling hummed a little tune all the way as she strolled along the various intersecting paths of Langya Pavilion. After a few days of investigation, she was basically familiar with the general outline of this place. It must be said that the person who could think of building a place here was really a talent.

Ye Ling passed by a small meadow and was stopped by a girl: "Sir, do you know martial arts? My daughter's kite got tangled in a tree branch and can't be taken down."

"Lead the way," Ye Ling said simply, and came to the tree where the kite was hanging.

Several gorgeously dressed women looked at the treetop anxiously.

Ye Ling said nothing, flew up to the tree branch, and flew it easily like a kite: "Here, don't fly it here. There are too many trees, and there is no wind today, so it won't fly."

"Thank you, sir." The woman took the kite and asked, "What's your name, sir?"

"I...Yuechi, the Yue of Three Mountains and Five Peaks, the Chi of Chishui" Ye Ling spoke without thinking, wanting to laugh in his heart: When you are in the world, you give yourself an identity.

The woman's eyes lit up. "So it's Envoy Yue. My apologies. I'm Wu Qingqing. My father is the leader of the Wulin Alliance. I've come with him to see the world. On the day Envoy Yue came to meet my father, I wanted to see you, but you left in such a hurry."

Ye Ling secretly rejoiced: It was a close call, I almost got caught, I forgot that it was Yue Chi who received these distinguished guests.

"Envoy Yue, my young lady has sprained her ankle. Can you take a look at her?" asked the maid.

"Okay." Although Ye Ling didn't know any medical skills, she knew martial arts, so she could still treat the sprain. She squatted down, took off Wu Qingqing's embroidered shoes, and tentatively pinched the anklet through her socks.

"Hiss..." Wu Qingqing cried out in pain.

"Envoy Yue, is Qingqing okay?" the little girl next to him asked anxiously.

"It's nothing serious, just a little dislocated," Ye Ling said as he exerted force.

"Ah~" Wu Qingqing screamed in pain.

"It's okay," Ye Ling said with a smile.

"Miss, it's okay, your feet are straight now," the maid said excitedly.

"How does it feel?" Ye Ling asked.

Wu Qingqing tried to move: "It's really much better, but it still hurts a little."

"That's for sure. It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. Although your injury is not serious, you still need to rest for a few days and don't walk around." Ye Ling was considerate and helped her put on her shoes.

Wu Qingqing nodded: "Then could you trouble Envoy Yue to take me back?"

"This... there is a difference between men and women. Let them help you go back!" Ye Ling politely refused.

Wu Qingqing could only force a smile: "Thank you, Envoy Yue."

"No thanks, no thanks. I'm leaving now." Ye Ling turned and left.

Wu Qingqing looked at Ye Ling's back with an infatuated look on her face: "I didn't expect Yue Sishi to be so young."

"Qingqing, I heard that Yue Sishi is not married yet. Aren't you coming out this time to find a good match? You can give it a try!" The woman beside her said with a smile.

Wu Qingqing blushed slightly: "Let's talk about it later! Let's go back and rest first."

Ye Ling walked along the way and came to Ning Yongtang to see Su Su: "Where is the bride?"

"Sister" Su Su ran out: "Don't shout!"

"Hey hey hey ~ There are only a few days left, so don't be so reserved," Ye Ling said with a smile.

"Sister Ye, come in and sit down," Meng Jing said with a smile.

The three girls came in and chatted animatedly. Su Su said, "Sister, Grandfather and Master Feng are back. They are talking to the leader of the martial arts world in the main hall."

"Really? What about Jiuyou?"

"Of course I am." Meng Jing smiled mysteriously: "I just passed by the main hall and overheard Alliance Leader Wu say that he wanted to marry his daughter to Master Feng's disciple."

"Are you kidding me?" Ye Ling was immediately displeased: "Brother, you haven't even married a sister-in-law yet, what's wrong? Are you trying to take advantage of the situation?"

"No, it's Jiuyou," Meng Jing said with a smile.

"Stop talking," Su Su quickly stopped Meng Jing, "Well, sister, Jiuyou will definitely not agree, and Master Feng will definitely not agree either."

"Why? Jiuyou is not young anymore, it's time for him to get married," said Meng Jing.

"Ah! Stop talking and eat the apple," Su Su stopped him again.

Ye Ling smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Junior Brother should really get married. I'm happy for him. It's perfect for the two of us to have a wedding banquet together."

"Saying one thing and meaning another" is Meng Meng's accurate complaint.

Su Su frowned and said, "Sister, you can't say such nonsense!"

"I'm telling the truth! Wu Qingqing is a good person, and she's the daughter of the leader of the martial arts world. Then, junior brother will be the son-in-law of the leader of the martial arts world. It will be so prestigious, and his status will also rise. I strongly support this marriage," said Ye Ling.

"Look, Sister Ye is the one who has foresight. I heard that Alliance Leader Wu brought his daughter this time just to establish a relationship with Senior Feng!" Meng Jing said.

"Stop talking." Su Su was helpless. As someone who had experienced this, she had long noticed that the relationship between Ye Ling and Jiu You was very delicate.
