Chapter 43 The Princess Leaves Beijing

On March [-]th, Sui Shi Donglong will rush to the rabbit.The five elements, the fire under the mountain, hold the throne; it is suitable for marriage, acceptance, sacrifice, prayer, travel, migration, seeking medical treatment; avoid opening a market, breaking ground, and breaking ground.

On this day, the palace was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the decoration was lively and pleasant. Princess Shengguo's bedroom had already been submerged in the red gauze troupe.In the Hall of Cishou, Empress Dowager Li withdrew her entourage, supported the hand of her maidservant, and together with Mrs. Jing'an, checked the princess's dowry items for the last time.

Liu E flipped through the list on the Taichang Temple, checked each item carefully, and was especially cautious in some details.When she finally closed the album and nodded wearily, the candle that had been burning all night had gradually been extinguished, and the rising sun outside the window was shining brightly.

"Sister, if you are sad, just cry." Empress Dowager Li wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, leaning almost all her body weight on the servant girl.

Liu E smiled and shook her head. She stroked the bright red gift list album and said softly, "Today is a good day for Lingling. I, I can't cry."

"Sister..." Li Yiyi sighed in a long voice. Liu E has always been a strong woman since a long time ago. front of love.This is something I will never be able to do, so I was the one who was sent out of the palace back then, and she was the one who stayed behind.

"The Empress Dowager needs to prepare to meet her son-in-law, and it's time for me to leave." Liu E suppressed her smile and put the gift list back on the box.Empress Dowager Liu is already a dead person, and she no longer has the status to personally send Zhao Ling to marry, so she can only let Empress Dowager Li see her off for her daughter, which is a pity.

Empress Dowager Li nodded calmly, bid farewell to Mrs. Jing'an, and helped the maid to go to wash and dress up.

Outside the Xuande Building, the competition arena has been dismantled, and the Royal Street is flat and open as before, which can accommodate the subjects of the two countries who came to watch the ceremony.

Li Yuanhao was dressed in a bright red brocade robe, and wore the auspicious Ruyi jade pendant bestowed by the Song Emperor the day before yesterday. He rode a white horse to the downstairs, where the officials of the Taichang Temple had long been waiting.After Li Yuanhao got off his horse, the ceremony officer presented him with red silk and satin to wear, and then a group of palace people hugged him and led him into the palace.The servants of Xia Kingdom he brought were also led to the ceremony shed outside the building, where they were entertained by officials from Honglu Temple.

According to the agreement, for this marriage between Song and Xia, a ceremony will be held in the palace according to Song's etiquette, and then another ceremony will be held according to Xia's etiquette after returning to Xia.Now Li Yuanhao is having a feast with the Song Emperor, his brother-in-law, in the hall.

"Hey, cat, can you still stand?" Outside the main hall, a certain white mouse quietly moved to the window behind Mr. Bao, very concerned, and said to the military officer in red who was only separated by a window.

"It's okay." Zhan Zhao replied through voice transmission, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"If you can't stand up, just squeak, Master Bai will take you away." Bai Yutang wrinkled his nose. In the past few days, Zhan Zhao's injury has been repeated several times, and now his body is still hot.Alas, this cat ran out before he was fully recovered, deliberately making people worry.

Whenever he thought that Zhan Zhao's injury worsened, it was after teaching him the exercises, Bai Yutang felt extremely uncomfortable, but he couldn't think of a solution.If Zhan Zhao doesn't get rid of the poison in his body in time, he will be in endless trouble.Last time he thought about Zhan Zhao's injury and tried to push through it, but the toxin was so fierce that the cat took more effort than usual to suppress it.

Seeing that it was too late for the man to apologize to him with a pale face, he could no longer say "I don't want you to guide me", so he had to obediently obey his and Mr. Gongsun's orders, and get more delicious food for the cat. I hope his injury can be done sooner and with less suffering.

"Yutang, don't worry about it." Zhan Zhao seemed to know what he was thinking, and came over again via voice transmission.Bai Yutang stayed outside the window obediently, on the one hand being vigilant, and on the other hand complaining about the cumbersome affairs of the royal family.

After a while, the meeting between the emperor and Li Yuanhao finally came to an end. Prince Xia went to the side hall and changed into a red robe, and brought a pair of wild geese and a gift list to the Queen Mother's bedroom to pay his respects.

Huh, it's finally over here. Although Li Yuanhao still has to stay in the palace for an hour, that's the Queen Mother's business.Bai Yutang was about to bring Zhan Zhao to accompany Lord Bao out of the palace, but the emperor sent someone to invite him to the princess' bedroom. The Eighth Prince, Prime Minister Wang and Grand Master Pang were also there.

The palace was extremely quiet, and there was no excitement like a happy event.Bai Yutang was puzzled, even if he wasn't happy to be in-laws with the people of Xia, he didn't have to be so lifeless.

He and Zhan Zhao looked at each other and thought at the same time, could something happen to the princess?

Entering the main hall, looking at the court maid who was kneeling on the ground, Zhao Zhen's face was gloomy like never before: "When did you find out that the princess is missing?"

The person kneeling on the ground trembled and couldn't speak.Chen Lin shouted in a low voice: "The emperor asked you something, why don't you answer it quickly!"

"Q...Qi to the emperor," said a servant who looked like he was in charge tremblingly, "the princess said she wanted to take a bath in the morning, and the servants left after preparing the supplies for the princess...Later, Shang Gong saw the change of clothes and makeup. The time has come, and the princess hasn't come out yet...just...just..."

Zhao Ling had disappeared? !Everyone present was stunned. This Li Yuanhao has already arrived to meet his mother-in-law, and he will come here to pick up the princess in a short time. What should he do if he finds that he is missing?

A guard came out of the bathroom and knelt down on one knee: "Report to the emperor, my subordinates found a large amount of drugs in the tub. The effects of the drugs haven't worn off yet, so it's better not to enter for the time being." Bai Yutang turned his head, looked To a few eunuchs and maids who were framed out, huh?There is actually a guard behind!It seems that the drug is so powerful that even the guards who are strong and proficient in kung fu have been fascinated. Who is so capable?

"Who did it?" Zhao Zhen walked up and down the hall with his hands behind his back, looking very impatient.

The Eighth Sage King stroked his beard, thoughtfully: "Could it be that the princess left by herself?"

"Absolutely impossible." Zhao Zhen shook his head, and gave the Eighth Prince a cold look.He knows Zhao Ling's temperament best. Although she is mischievous and troublesome on weekdays, she is definitely a person who understands righteousness, and she will not go back on what she promises.If she wanted to escape marriage, she would have escaped long ago, and would not have left such a mess until now, catching them by surprise.

"Then the princess was kidnapped." Bao Zheng frowned sullenly, "How did this person do it? What is his purpose?"

Thinking of someone being able to rob the princess amidst so many guards in this palace, an undetectable ruthlessness appeared on the face of the Eight Sage Kings.If, if this person's target is not the princess but the emperor, if he entered the palace to assassinate... He didn't dare to think about it anymore, and secretly decided to rectify the guards of the palace.

"Leave this matter to Bao Qing." Zhao Zhen nodded to Bao Zheng, then glanced at Zhan Zhao, "We must find the princess back." Zhan Zhao secretly clenched his fist, he was supposed to be on duty yesterday , It's just that he has been injured and ill during this period, the emperor exempted him from patrolling, but such a thing happened unexpectedly.

Looking around at the people in the room, Grand Master Pang, who had not spoken all the time, said: "The most urgent thing now is the marriage with Xia Guo. Li Yuanhao will come to marry the princess in half an hour. Do the officials have any plans?"

"This..." Zhao Zhen hesitated. When he learned that Zhao Ling was missing, he ordered someone to block the news, and rushed over directly. He really didn't think about the solution.After thinking for a while, he finally made a decision and ordered: "Chen Lin, go to the Hall of Cishou and explain the situation here to the Empress Dowager and the envoy of Xia Guo, and ask them to postpone the wedding..."

"No, Your Majesty!" A soft voice came from outside the door.

Everyone looked back, Princess Huiguo walked in with a maid in a bright red wedding dress.

"Chunni, why are you... dressed..." Zhao Zhen looked at her in surprise, could it be?

"Your Majesty can't cancel the ceremony. If the people of Xia know about it, they will definitely use it to make things difficult for me, Song." Chunni put on a thin layer of makeup on her face, making her look more and more beautiful.But her expression was dignified, "Your Majesty is the Emperor of the Dragon, you are not joking, so Princess Song must marry into Xia Kingdom as agreed."

"Chunni..." Zhan Zhao seemed to be struck by thunder, he couldn't see or hear clearly as if separated by a rain curtain.He took two steps forward, but was grabbed by Bai Yutang, but You didn't get out of the confusion.

"Your Majesty." As if she didn't hear her senior brother's call, Chun Ni firmly looked at Zhao Zhen, who had lost his composure, and watched him go from shock to pity, and then from pity to pity, and finally returned to calm.

"You really want to?" Zhao Zhen looked into the eyes of Princess Huiguo.

"Chunni has no regrets." This woman who has no blood relationship with the royal family knelt down slowly, and kowtowed reverently to the Emperor of Song Dynasty, "Please make it possible, Your Majesty." Empress Mother, I'm sorry, Chunni is unfilial and has made her own decision again.

"Okay! From now on, you are the princess of Shengguo." Zhao Zhen bent down to help the woman in red who was kneeling on the ground, and said loudly, "Chunni, I thank you on behalf of the royal family of Song Dynasty. I wronged you to wait in Xiaguo , Brother Huang will definitely pick you up personally!"

"Thank you for your grace." Chunni knelt down again, and was embraced by Zhao Zhen before she knelt down, "Please don't tell the queen mother just now, brother." Maybe she knew it was cruel to Queen Mother Li, but she really couldn't bear to see it. When the queen mother cried to see her off.

"I still have things to do. Bao Qing, Uncle Huang, and Grand Master follow me to the imperial study. Guard Zhan will chat with the princess for a while." Zhao Zhen nodded to Chun Ni, not daring to see Zhan Zhao's distraught look, and bowed his head. He left the dormitory with his head down, "Chen Lin, I leave this place to you."

"Yes." Chen Lin bowed to send the emperor away, and directed everyone to continue the arrangement with a shrill voice. "What are you doing kneeling? Why don't you get up and work!" The person kneeling on the ground hurriedly got up and continued with the unfinished business in the morning.

The people around were in a hurry, but Zhan Zhao and Chun Ni looked at each other without saying a word, watching Bai Yutang flustered.

"Brother..." Chun Ni said, "You will blame me."

Zhan Zhao closed his eyes, shook his head slowly, and said word by word: "No, I didn't protect you well."

"Cat..." Bai Yutang stretched out his hand, wanting to comfort him, but that kind of deep self-blame isolated him. Why did the person who was within reach feel far away?

"No, senior brother, you are not wrong, you have always taken good care of me." Chun Ni stepped forward, leaning on Zhan Zhao's chest, "It's just that Chun Ni has grown up now, and she can no longer stay with senior brother. You, don't be angry with me, okay?"

Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand a little stiffly, and gently hugged the junior sister who grew up together, and said softly, "Why, senior brother will never be angry with you, I'm just worried..."

"Don't worry about me, His Majesty promised to pick me up." Chun Ni leaned on her warm and firm chest, looked up into those eyes that were always tolerant, "Brother, when the time comes, you and His Majesty will come pick me up, okay? "

"Okay." Zhan Zhao tightened his arms suddenly, and held his junior sister tightly in his arms, not wanting to let go. He was really useless, not only couldn't take care of the master's only daughter, but also let her go to such a dangerous place alone. around.

"Senior brother, don't be sad, today is a good day for Chunni." Chuni took the initiative to leave Zhan Zhao's embrace, and she burst into a big smile.

"Brother Bai," she looked at Bai Yutang who was standing aside, and the latter hurried over, "My senior brother is too soft-hearted, I will trouble you to take care of him in the future."

Bai Yutang nodded, needless to say, this cat has always been covered by Master Bai.

"Princess, please change your face evenly." A maid behind her whispered.

"Ben Gong will be here soon." Chun Ni said, she held her senior brother's hand and earnestly told her, "Senior brother must take good care of yourself, don't be so tired." After she finished speaking, she smiled again, turned around and left.

"Chunni, wait a minute. Here, congratulations." Bai Yutang grabbed her, took out a small brocade box from his bosom and stuffed it into her hand, and said softly, "This is the secret elixir of the Western Regions. It has the effect of bringing the dead back to life, so keep it safe." Bai Yunsheng sent it to Zhan Zhao, but the man refused to take it no matter what, Bai Yutang thought it would be better to give it to Chunni, maybe it could help a little.

"Thank you, Brother Bai." Chunni put it away with a smile.

The princess's car drove out of the palace with the Prince Xia who was welcoming his relatives, and then slowly drove out of Kaifeng City. Soon the convoy of the Song Dynasty will leave the Song Dynasty.The princess of Song Dynasty will get married in Heishui City and become the second concubine of Prince Xia.
