Chenyuan.
The largest guest courtyard of the Shen family. In the past, this courtyard was cleaned every day, but few people stayed in it. Now, not only is it occupied, but it is also heavily guarded. There are armored guardsmen inside and outside the courtyard.
The courtyard is solemn and solemn, completely different from the bustle on the other side of the Shen family.
As soon as Fang stepped in, his heart was high and people couldn't help but become nervous and afraid.
"Miss Liu, please."
Eunuch Deng ushered Liu Yingying into the main hall with a smile, looking very friendly.
I saw the grand main hall, with two half-person-high pagodas in front of the door. Incense was burned inside the towers, and the light ambergris had a refreshing smell. Opposite the main hall, there was a purple pagoda. Behind the high hall is a hand-carved purple wood painting. There is no one in the main hall, but it exudes a majestic and far-sighted atmosphere.
There was a wing room on the right side. Eunuch Deng led Liu Yingying all the way to the outside of the wing room, then he bowed his body through the bead curtain and announced inward: "Master, we have arrived."
"Bring it in."
Not long after, a gentle and majestic voice came from inside the house.
Eunuch Deng opened the bead curtain and led Liu Yingying inside.
As soon as Fang entered, he saw that the furnishings in the wing were simple and luxurious, and there was a red sandalwood horse screen in the middle of the room. Across the screen, which was more than ten feet wide, a tall figure could be faintly seen standing on the screen. Afterwards, there were three or four maids changing clothes and washing up behind them.
The house burned with a faint scent of ambergris.
Eunuch Deng turned to one side and waited quietly with his eyes downcast.
The room was so quiet that even the sound of the fabric of clothes being rubbed could be clearly heard.
After waiting for a moment, the maids filed out carrying trays. After a while, the figure behind the screen slowly stepped out with hands behind his back.
Liu Yingying only saw a piece of black robe passing by. The edge of the robe was piping with golden dragon patterns. Before she could see it clearly, she quickly lowered her head, then knelt down and said: "People Female... pay homage to your majesty, long live your majesty."
Liu Yingying knelt down and bowed in a polite manner.
Emperor Wei walked to the side and sat down on the Taishi chair. Seeing this, Eunuch Deng immediately leaned over and served the brewed tea. Emperor Wei slowly rinsed his mouth with the tea.
During the whole process, not a word was spoken. The room was so quiet and the atmosphere was so solemn that Liu Yingying did not dare to express her anger. She, who had always been calm and self-possessed, couldn't help but feel a little nervous and at a loss.
It was not until Emperor Wei took a sip of tea that he slowly said: "Good tea."
As he spoke, he asked casually: "I heard that Qing'er planted a jasmine tree in his yard with his own hands. Did you plant it for you? Is this true?"
Emperor Wei asked leisurely, his voice gentle but unreasonably majestic.
As he asked, he scraped the foam from the water with a tea lid. During the whole process, he didn't even look directly in Liu Yingying's direction.
Although she was never named, there was no doubt that the person being questioned was only one Liu Yingying.
Qing'er refers to... the eldest son Shen Lang?
This unfamiliar name made Liu Yingying unable to react at first. After she recovered, Liu Yingying was stunned at first, and then her heart suddenly tightened, and she couldn't tell what the meaning of these words was.
On this happy day, are you expressing anger or blaming? Or something else?
It turned out that just after she woke up, Eunuch Deng invited her over and said that the emperor wanted to see her.
Although I vaguely guessed who it was related to, I didn't know what it was about.
So far, Liu Yingying has not recovered from the fact that the eldest son Shen Lang has transformed into the eldest prince Wei Qing.
How can they, who come from a small family, have the chance to see the beauty of the sky? Those who are timid may pee their pants in fear.
Along the way, Liu Yingying's heart was agitated.
At the moment, the other party's meaning was unclear, and Liu Yingying's heart suddenly started beating violently.
Even if the emperor's majesty is not intentionally displayed at all, its existence itself will make people fearful and fearful.
Liu Yingying felt a little nervous, but she knew that she couldn't fool anyone in front of the superior. Since the emperor was asking questions, he couldn't flatter or be sly, so he just answered his questions honestly. Thinking like this, Liu Yingying was stunned. He calmed down his emotions in an instant and replied honestly: "Your Majesty, the civilian girl doesn't know anything about it."
"Oh?" When Emperor Wei heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "So, is this your wishful thinking?"
His tone suddenly became serious.
Liu Yingying's heart shrank and she hurriedly knelt down and said, "People's girls...people's girls don't dare."
Emperor Wei didn't say anything. He continued to pick up the tea cup and drank for a while. The room was filled with the faint fragrance of jasmine and the condensed air. He didn't see Wei until he finished half the cup of tea. The emperor casually handed the tea cup to Eunuch Deng, raised his eyelids lightly, and finally looked at the meandering figure in the distance, saying: "Raise your head, let me have a look."
Liu Yingying exhaled slightly and slowly raised her head, but she did not dare to look directly at Long Yan, her eyes kept falling on the emperor's dragon-patterned collar.
The moment her beautiful appearance came into view, Emperor Wei narrowed his eyes slightly. Emperor Wei had seen countless women, and the women he had seen were all the most luxurious and beautiful people in Da Yu. However, even so, When I saw that face in the distance, I still couldn't help being slightly surprised.
But even so, his eyes were light and his face was not obvious.
He just looked at her face quietly for a moment, and then suddenly looked at Eunuch Deng's face on one side, raised his eyebrows slightly, and saw Eunuch Deng covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Your Highness has good taste."
Emperor Wei glared at him, snorted, and when he turned around, his eyes fell on Liu Yingying's face again. He looked at her intently, seeming to ponder for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking. For a long time, he suddenly asked coldly. Said: "Qing'er is getting married today, how do you feel about it?"
When asked this question, Emperor Wei's gentle but sharp eyes fell on Liu Yingying's face. Looking at her with bright eyes, Liu Yingying pursed her lips and replied truthfully: "My daughter is neither sad nor happy. Congratulations to the two newlyweds on their happy marriage."
As soon as he said this, Emperor Wei seemed stunned for a moment, and then suddenly chuckled "haha", as if he had heard something very interesting, smiling, and then turned his head towards Deng who was standing aside. The father-in-law said, "It seems that in this matter, Qing'er and I are not evenly matched."
Hearing this, Eunuch Deng immediately agreed and smiled, his eyes narrowed into slits when he smiled, and he couldn't help but flatter him and said: "Isn't that right? In folk terms, this is called what kind of lid does the pot go with?" Bah, like father, like son.”
Eunuch Deng joked jokingly. As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Emperor Wei's eyebrows and raised his eyes. He slapped his mouth twice and said, "Look at this old slave's dog mouth. He can't spit out ivory."
Although Emperor Wei thought Eunuch Deng's words were vulgar, he was still pleased by the saying "Like father, like son". He seemed to be slightly impressed, but he said in disgust: "Old man."
Seeing the interaction between Emperor Wei and Duke Deng and his servant, Liu Yingying, who had been lying on the ground, finally breathed a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, a cold sweat broke out behind her.
At this time, after Emperor Wei finished joking with Eunuch Deng, he finally thought of Liu Yingying again. Emperor Wei stared at her with a deep gaze for a long time, and suddenly said straight to the point: "I'm calling you here today. It turns out that it's I want Qing'er to return to Beijing with me, but he doesn't want to, are you willing to help me?"
Liu Yingying was startled when she heard this and suddenly raised her head.
It is said that the auspicious time has arrived.
Mrs. Shen was helped to the high hall by someone.
She and Princess Qinghe each sat on one side of the high hall.
The rest, the second wife, the fourth wife, and the sixth wife were sitting in the lower seats. More than ten junior members of the Shen family were all present, waiting at one side.
The hall was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, making it a festive atmosphere. People watching the ceremony were whispering to each other, standing on tiptoe, and stretching their necks to look forward to the ceremony.
Finally, I heard a loud voice singing from outside: "The bride has arrived, the bride has arrived."
Everyone is looking forward to it.
I saw that the bride, with the support of the maid, had taken the lead to wait outside the hall.
Mi Ya'er, who was dressed in a fiery red wedding dress, stood there with an elegant figure, making Mrs. Shen stand up with red eyes.
When everyone in the room saw this, they all looked happy and moved.
Then, Mrs. Shen was seen holding her crutches and raising her head in anticipation: "Where is the groom?"
Just when he was about to send someone to urge him, he saw Shen Lang in a red wedding dress from a distance, slowly walking towards him with his hands behind his back. He was dressed in a red robe, wearing a red jade crown on his head, and in his hand Holding a huge wedding ball, we can see that he is tall and tall, with a jade tree facing the wind, and his wedding clothes set off his whole person. His time is flowing, the wind is handsome, and he is unattainable.
Upon seeing this, Mrs. Shen was so excited that she walked all the way to the entrance of the hall.
Shen Lang walked all the way to the courtyard and saw the bride wearing a phoenix tail wedding dress and a red hijab waiting there quietly. She paused for a moment, and for a moment, the meandering figure in the distance transformed in front of his eyes. Became another figure.
The red hijab was gently lifted, revealing a beautiful face, looking at him with charming eyes.
Shen Lang paused for a moment, but when he looked again, he saw that the figure was clearly dignified and virtuous, standing there meekly and without any movement.
Shen Lang pursed his lips, stood still on the spot, and stopped.
Seeing this, everyone looked at each other and exchanged looks. Mrs. Shen's heart skipped a beat when she saw this. She was about to come out in person with her cane, but she saw Shen Lang's hands behind his back tighten slightly. , finally took up the steps again, and just as he was about to step away, he saw Wu Yong in the distance suddenly looked hurriedly, striding towards Shen Lang, approached Shen Lang and whispered: "Young Master, Your Majesty has already set off to return to the capital."
When Shen Lang heard the words, he didn't squint his eyes. He only glanced at Wu Yong lightly, tapped his chin expressionlessly, and was about to move forward when he saw Wu Yongfu hesitating again, as if he still had something to say. I wanted to say it, but I hesitated to speak at this stall.
At this time, Mrs. Shen was afraid of causing trouble, so she personally came over with a cane, took Shen Lang's hand, and said with red eyes: "Okay, okay, okay, great, I finally look forward to seeing my brother." This is the day."
He added: "The auspicious time has arrived. Brother Qian, please come quickly and pay your respects."
Shen Lang looked at Mrs. Shen, then glanced at Wu Yong, and finally followed Mrs. Shen. However, after walking three or four steps, Shen Lang suddenly stopped again. Come down.
Mrs. Shen held his hand, but she couldn't hold it anymore.
At this time, Shen Lang pursed his lips and swept his face towards Wu Yong's face, saying coldly: "Is there anything else you want to report?"
Seeing this, Wu Yong swallowed his saliva and immediately stepped forward to report: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty took Miss Liu away with him."
Almost at the moment when these words fell, Shen Lang's always cold face changed slightly, he suddenly turned his face towards Wu Yong, and said coldly, word by word: "Say it again. !”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Yong hesitated and said: "Your Majesty... His Majesty took Miss Liu away with him."
The next moment, there was only a crash, and the sword was instantly unsheathed. With a livid face, Shen Lang pulled out the sword from Wu Yong's waist and held it against Wu Yong's neck. There was a trace of unprovoked expression on his cold face. Angry, he just said coldly: "Do you still remember my order? I asked you to keep a close eye on her these days!"
Shen Lang scolded every word with a cold face.
Wu Yong's face turned pale when he heard this, and then he bent his knees and kneeled on the ground, saying, "This subordinate deserves death."
This scene happened so fast. Everyone was frightened by the sudden change in front of them. When they raised their eyes, they saw that the usually cold face of Shen Lang was now condensed with a layer of rare emotion. Frost.
The world seems to be still at this moment.
Shen Lang pursed his lips, and the sides of his cheeks swelled up. The hands hanging by his sides were clenched into fists after a while.
There are pictures of beautiful women that cannot be left in my mind no matter what.
Shen Lang finally had to admit that a woman, a woman who had been suffering for less than half a year, actually exceeded his lifelong obsession at this moment.
Seventeen years have passed since he left home at the age of seven, and he finally returned to the Shen family and became a legitimate member of the Shen family. However -
With a bang, the sword fell to the ground.
Shen Lang slowly opened his eyes, opened his robe, lowered his clothes, and bowed heavily to Mrs. Shen.
Head broken, bleeding.
Then, Shen Lang stood up, pulled off the wedding ball from his chest, and did it in one go. Without any hesitation, he turned around and left without looking back.
All this happened in the blink of an eye.
In the hall, everyone's expressions changed drastically and they chased him out one after another.
But Mrs. Shen slowly closed her eyes.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Mi Ya'er suddenly opening her head, grabbing her wedding dress and chasing after her.
Everyone in the Shen family saw this and called "Ya'er" one after another.
The entire Shen family was instantly in chaos.
