Chapter 767: Shameful "Album"
Tang Ning was surprised: "Why are there so many people?"
You should know that the Tang Mansion occupies a large area, and the front and back yards are very spacious.
How many people would it take to fill up the yard?
Yue Jian couldn't help but laugh as she said, "It's Patriarch Gu who has sent a lot of people to carry your dowry box tomorrow. He even asked some people to prepare it in advance, saying that he would block the door tomorrow to embarrass Your Majesty."
In the past, the empress's enthronement ceremony was held directly in the palace. The empress was either a concubine who had entered the palace early and would directly enter the front hall from the harem for the ceremony, or even if she was a new bride, only the enthronement envoy would come to convey the order. After the elders of the empress's family kowtowed three times and bowed nine times in welcome, the empress would then enter the palace with the phoenix seal and the imperial book, accompanied by the enthronement envoy on the phoenix chariot.
But His Majesty is different from others. He loves the girl dearly and would not let her suffer any injustice. He also wants her to be married off in a grand manner like any other girl.
At that time, His Majesty will not only bring people to welcome the bride in person, but he will also have people carry the wedding sedan and dowry around the capital, and then enter the palace from the Jinshui Bridge through the Noon Gate, so that everyone in the capital can see the grand scene of the Emperor welcoming the bride.
Therefore, Gu Helian has been waiting for this day for a long time.
Yue Jian recalled the low chuckles she had seen before: "The girl also knows that the Gu family master and His Majesty are not on good terms. Every time they quarreled in the past, he always suffered at the hands of His Majesty. Now that he finally has the opportunity to embarrass His Majesty, and His Majesty dares not fight back, he must be tormenting her as much as he can."
"Master Gu has found a number of people to block the gate and has been practicing since long ago. He said he is waiting for His Majesty to come tomorrow and wants to fulfill his duty as an elder."
There were bells tied to the two buns on Hua Wu's head, and when she laughed, the bells rang softly.
After Yue Jian finished speaking, she also agreed.
"When I came here just now, I saw Master Gu shouting to others, saying that everything, both civil and military, had been prepared, even several jars of welcoming wine, just waiting for His Majesty to come tomorrow."
Gu Helian looked so excited that if you didn't know her, you would think she was getting married.
Tang Ning couldn't help laughing when listening to what the two said. This seemed like something Gu Helian would do. After all, every time he faced his brother before, he would be so angry that he would jump up and down. But his brother had a weird temper and liked to tease people. Now that he finally found an opportunity, he would definitely not let it go.
Tang Ning was not annoyed, but smiled and said, "He is so troubled, he is not afraid of being pulled by his aunt's ears when he comes back."
Yue Jian and the others couldn't help laughing when they thought of how Gu Helian acted arrogantly outside but was timid in front of Rong Yue.
Hua Wu walked over to Tang Ning holding the tray in her hand, put down the bowl and said, "I see that Patriarch Gu is enjoying his wife."
Tang Ning smiled and glanced at what she put down: "What is this?"
"Madam asked the kitchen to make this nourishing soup. She said you'll be tired tomorrow, so she wanted you to drink some to replenish your energy so you don't get overwhelmed."
Tang Ning chuckled: "Let it cool for a while."
As she spoke, she rummaged through the boxes Rong Yue had just given her, and soon found one that was smaller than the others.
The box had intricate and exquisite patterns on it, and it was locked with the key hanging next to it. Tang Ning opened it with some curiosity and saw two square books inside, the contents of which were unrecognizable.
"What's that mysterious thing?"
Tang Ning muttered softly, and picked up a book to see what was written inside. However, when she opened it, she saw a man and a woman entangled together. She widened her eyes and stared at the seductive woman hanging on the man in amazement. She felt like she was holding a burning charcoal in her hand and almost threw it away.
"Girl, what is this..."
"nothing!"
Just as Hua Wu, who was standing next to him, was curious and wanted to get closer, Tang Ning closed the book in his hand with a "swish", then quickly threw it back into the box, grabbed the lid of the box and closed it with a "bang", the whole action was done in one go.
Hua Wu was bewildered: "Girl?"
Tang Ning's face flushed red, and the heat from the thing he had just seen rushed straight to his forehead. He looked like a boiled shrimp, and even his ears and neck were dyed red.
She forced herself to keep a straight face, trying to remain expressionless: "Nothing, just some account books."
Hua Wu was puzzled: "Account books? Aren't all the account books in the mansion with Madam Ru? And girl, why is your face so red? Did you catch a cold?"
She approached with some concern, wanting to reach out and touch Tang Ning's forehead, but Tang Ning avoided her.
Tang Ning stretched out his finger and placed it on Hua Wu's forehead, poking her head away.
"How could I catch a cold when it's so warm in the room? It's just that the windows are closed and it's a bit stuffy."
Tang Ning said this calmly, then stood up and walked to the side to push the window open a little.
When the biting cold wind from outside blew in through the gaps, the cold air cooled the heat on her face a little.
Turning back, she saw the two girls in the room staring at her intently. Tang Ning pretended to be calm and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"
"I don't have anything to do here for now. You can take the things my aunt sent and put them in the register. Then add them to the dowry you will bring into the palace tomorrow. I'll rest for a while."
Yue Jian didn't think much of it when she heard it: "Then this servant and Hua Wu will go down first. The girl will call us if she needs anything."
Hua Wu said coquettishly, "Miss, remember to drink the soup. Madam has told you several times."
Tang Ning: "I understand."
The two of them walked aside and took the boxes out. After the door was closed and there was no one else in the room, Tang Ning could no longer hold back her shyness. She glanced at the box and her face flushed.
"Why did my aunt give me this..."
That picture album is so shameful!
Even though she had lived her life over again and had learned to be more mature in this life, she had never experienced anything like sex.
Even when she was close to Xiao Yan in the past, the two of them would just hug and kiss each other at most, and they had never been truly "honest" with each other, not to mention that they were in such an embarrassing situation. Whenever she thought of the man and woman entangled together that she had just accidentally seen, she felt her face burning.
Tang Ning glanced at the box on the table as if it were a flood or a beast. He stood by the window and put his hands against his burning face to cool it down.
But after a moment, she couldn't help but secretly glance over there.
My aunt said this was something very important and asked her to look at it carefully...
Moreover, Aunt Rui had come to visit her before and told her that women would feel uncomfortable on their wedding night for the first time. Not only did she secretly tell her some things about sex, she also gave her some strange things.
Aunt Rui said that my brother hadn't had anyone around him in recent years, and he looked strong. A man who hadn't experienced the joy of love for many years would inevitably be extravagant when he tasted the sweetness for the first time. If she didn't know how to do it in bed, she would probably suffer...
Tang Ning's face was flushed. He looked at the box hesitantly for a while, then looked around the empty room. Then he gritted his teeth and walked back to the table.
She just took a look.
