Contract Prince

Chen Huaisheng rolled up the golden edict and waited in the living room with a smile on his face.When he saw Gu Yunjing coming, the smile on his wrinkled face became even brighter, and he quickly congratulated him: "Your Majesty will soon be a son-in-law. Congratulations."

Although he is very deep in the city, his smile is not fake.Chen Huaisheng has been with the emperor for many years, and he has watched the sixth princess grow up since he was a child. Now that the princess has a husband he likes, he is also very happy from the bottom of his heart.

"Master, hurry up and accept the order."

Gu Yunjing's brows were furrowed, and there was no trace of happiness on his face.He was absent-minded and didn't listen to Chen Huaisheng's words at all.

"What is Yun Jing doing in a daze, hurry up and accept the order." Tao Ce whispered a reminder in his ear.

"Oh." Gu Yunjing responded lightly, subconsciously moved a few steps to the side, and distanced himself from Tao Ce.

"I accept the decree, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Gu Yunjing lightly lifted his robe, bowed his head and knelt down.Everyone in the waiting mansion knelt on the ground to welcome the imperial edict.

Chen Huaisheng's voice sounded: "The sixth princess, Xiao Muxue, has been loved by me since she was a child, and she raised her personally. Now the prince of Zhenyuan, Gu Yunjing, is loyal and gentle, gentle and humble, with an elegant temperament. I will betroth the sixth princess to the prince of Zhenyuan... The big wedding will be held in three days, I respect you."

Gu Yunjing frowned, and sighed several times in her heart.After receiving the order to send Chen Huaisheng away, holding the bright silk satin, his eyes were cloudy and speechless, as if his soul had been sucked out, he walked to the back room alone.

"Yun Jing, don't be unhappy, it's better to let things go like this. The sixth princess is very beautiful, and there is nothing wrong with marrying her."

Tao Ce didn't know that what Gu Yunjing was really worried about was his daughter's status, so he tried to comfort her.

At this time, Gu Yunjing couldn't listen to anything, and there was only one thought in her mind: that is to keep her secret no matter what.

It's a small matter for her head to land, but it's a big matter for the Hou family.My father is in a high position, which has already made many villains in the court jealous.If this secret is exposed, they will definitely make a big fuss about it.

The emperor married his daughter to a woman, and the royal family lost face. At that time, Xiao Guan will definitely be furious, and the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion does not know what will happen...

The more Gu Yunjing thought about it, the more worried she became.

"Yun Jing..." Tao Ce couldn't bear to see the brother he cared about lost his soul like this, and wanted to persuade him a few more words.

"Tao Ce, I know what to do." Gu Yunjing stopped and stood side by side with Tao Ce, her eyes were deep and deep, and her eyes fell on the blue bricks and black tiles of the Hou Mansion.After a long time, he slowly whispered: "You go back first, I want to be alone."

Tao Ce originally wanted to be by Gu Yunjing's side, but looking at the young man's expression, he looked gloomy and forbearing at the moment, not as gentle and jade-like as usual.Knowing that he really needs a quiet environment to express his inner feelings, don't hesitate now: OK, then I'll go back first. "

After Tao Ce left, Gu Yunjing went up to the pavilion.The wind blew past the pavilions, she raised her head slightly, leaned on the railing, and looked towards the sky.

No matter how unwilling you are, don't you still have to marry the princess?That's all, if it comes, be safe, and be careful in the future, don't let the princess see the flaws.

The imperial decree said that we will get married in three days, and now we have to prepare for the marriage.The wind turned cold, Gu Yunjing sniffed and walked down from the attic.

"Caiyue, bring a few capable maidservants to help Zhang Luo get married." Marriage was supposed to be such a big event, and it should be treated with dignity.However, Mrs. Zhenyuanhou passed away many years ago, and Zhenyuanhou was leading the army. She herself is not in good health and should not work hard, so she can only let the servants do it.

Caiyue's expression of embarrassment was not because she was unwilling to help the eldest son arrange the marriage, but because she was the only person in the family who knew Gu Yunjing's identity.

Caiyue was originally from Wangyougu. During the time when Gu Yunjing went to Wangyougu to recuperate, she had been taking care of her. The relationship between the two was very good.When she learned that the other party was going to leave Wuyou Valley and return to the Hou Mansion, Caiyue volunteered to follow Gu Yunjing.

Gu Yunjing thought that since she was weak, she needed someone to take care of her.Caiyue is good at kung fu, kind-hearted, and knows her well.Let Caiyue stay by your side, the secret will not be discovered.So he agreed to Caiyue's request.

"My lord, do you really intend to marry the princess?" Caiyue said softly.

"Otherwise, the imperial decree has been issued, and the emperor's order is hard to disobey."

"But..." Caiyue was afraid that Gu Yunjing's identity would be discovered, her pretty face was full of worry.In fact, if you think about it and observe carefully, besides worry, there is an indescribable deep meaning in Caiyue's eyes.

Gu Yunjing said: "It's okay, I have my own discretion, you go and arrange the marriage."

At the same time, marriages are being arranged with great fanfare in the palace.

Xiao Muxue is the only princess of the Xiao Kingdom, so her marriage is naturally unusual, and the degree of grandness is astonishing.

The dowry list listed: more than a hundred court crowns, thousands of sets of jewelry, thousands of sable coats, thousands of silks and satins, and thousands of antique calligraphy and paintings...

"Sister Xue'er's dowry is so much that I'm greedy. It's really a blessing that the prince of Zhenyuan married you." The princess smiled and handed the dowry list to Xiao Muxue.

"This list is only a part of the list. I heard from my mother that the emperor will reward you after you get married. Last night, the maids rushed to make your wedding dress overnight. You can try it to see if it suits you. "

Xiao Muxue thought in her heart: This emperor really loves his daughter.After she nodded, she followed the princess to the dressing room.

The court ladies put on a bright red wedding dress for Xiao Muxue, and the embroidered gold peony dress that stretched across the floor was very popular.Xiao Muxue has fair skin, orchid-like aura, and she usually wears white clothes, which makes her look like a cold fairy.This red dress gave her a lot of softness.

"This wedding dress fits right, sister Xue'er is so beautiful." The crown princess couldn't help sighing, as if she would be tempted if she looked at it a few more times.

Xiao Muxue smiled slightly. After trying on the dresses, she went to see a lot of dowry jewelry with the princess.

Three days later, the wedding day arrived.

It was a sunny day and the weather was very good.Gu Yunjing was wearing a bright red wedding gown, riding a maroon horse, followed by a mighty welcoming team.A group of people soon came to the gate of the palace.

Gu Yunjing got off the horse, and under the leadership of the palace servants, walked towards the princess' bedroom.

"The minister, Gu Yunjing, welcomes the relatives according to the order." A warm voice sounded from outside the Youxue Pavilion.The voice is not deep, but it is very ethereal and pleasant, like the sound of a stream flowing in a mountain stream.

"Xue'er, the son-in-law is here. The queen mother is really reluctant to let you get married." Queen Zhao said reluctantly, her tone was a little sad.

The princess said: "Mother, today is Xue'er's big day, you should be happy."

Queen Zhao smiled and said, "Yes, yes."

With Yuyao's support, Xiao Muxue slowly walked towards Gu Yunjing.

Empress Zhao looked at Gu Yunjing and said earnestly, "My son-in-law, although Xue'er was not born to my empress, I have always treated her as my own daughter. After the princess marries you as his wife, I hope you will treat her well. Give her happiness."

Gu Yunjing didn't know how to promise, because she knew that she would never be able to give the princess happiness in her life.But looking at the expectant eyes of the queen, he still agreed: "Don't worry, empress, I will protect the princess well."

The crown prince covered her face and smiled and said, "The prince is now the son-in-law, why is he still addressing each other as empress and empress?"

Gu Yunjing's face turned red suddenly, and he changed his words: "I will definitely not forget my mother's entrustment."

Empress Zhao nodded, took the princess's hand, and put it in Gu Yunjing's palm.

The moment she touched Gu Yunjing's hand, Xiao Muxue was slightly shocked. She didn't like to be in contact with men, and really wanted to pull her hand back, but it was hindered by the empress and the princess.Xiao Muxue frowned, fortunately she was covered by a red hijab so that no one would notice her displeasure.

The road from Youxue Pavilion to the gate of the palace is not very long, but Xiao Muxue seems to have walked for a century.For her, every second of this is suffering, and she hopes that Gu Yunjing will leave quickly.

With her longing and anticipation, she finally reached the gate of the palace.

The royal entourage was already waiting at the gate, and the princess's wedding was a great joy for the Xiao Kingdom. The royal relatives and relatives gathered together to send the princess off.So at this time, the entrance of the palace was very lively.

Many people know that Zhenyuan Marquis Gu Wei has a sick and weak son who works with medicine all the year round, it's really a jar of medicine.But they didn't know that this young man was so handsome. He was thinner, but it didn't affect his appearance at all.

Mr. Pianpian is completely natural.

At present, many people are talking about Gu Yunjing's beauty. After hearing these compliments, Xiao Muxue was not happy but a little disappointed. She sighed secretly: Gu Yunjing is so beautiful, it would be great if she was a woman.

The auspicious time has come, fireworks and firecrackers are blasting together, horns and suonas are sounding together, carriages and horses are rattling, and Xiao Muxue's sedan chair is slowly lifted up.The emperor, empress, prince, and concubine all focused their eyes on Xiao Muxue's sedan chair, and only looked away after the sedan chair was out of sight.

The official road was bustling with people, and the people were all cheering.After an unknown amount of time, the sedan chair finally landed in front of the Hou Mansion.

"His Royal Highness is a thousand years old." In the crowd's kneeling welcome, and Gu Yunjing's hand, Xiao Muxue walked to the waiting mansion, starting her visit to the hall.

Because Zhenyuan was away, Gu Yunjing temporarily invited Tao Shen, Marquis of Wu'an, to be his officiant.Tao Shen treats Gu Yunjing like his half son, and now seeing him getting married, he has a smile on his face.

After completing the worship ceremony, it was already night time.Gu Yunjing asked his servants to send Xiao Muxue into the wedding room, while he greeted the guests outside.

In the Hou's mansion, there were a lot of toasts and cups, and there was a lot of joy.Hearing the blessings from countless people, Gu Yunjing felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

It was late at night, after the banquet, Gu Yunjing was already very tired.According to the rules, it was time for the bride and groom to enter the bridal chamber, but his feet seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't walk towards the wedding room for a long time.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he had to go.Otherwise, if this matter got to the ears of the empress, I probably wouldn't be able to afford it.And she felt it was necessary to explain clearly to the princess.

After hesitating for a long time, Gu Yunjing dragged his heavy steps, clenched his fists, mustered up his courage, and pushed open the door of the wedding room.
