After the two countries agreed on the marriage alliance, the emperor had an auspicious day chosen so that the two newlyweds could get married as soon as possible.
Since it concerns a marriage alliance between two countries, even if the emperor dislikes Wuqi, he still has to maintain appearances.
The Tatar envoy wanted to rush back to the grasslands and get rid of Uchi, this hot potato, in the Great Jin as soon as possible.
He couldn't forget the day the Prince of Libei led his men into the post station, even at midnight.
The two Tatar noblewomen had their tendons severed, and lost all their martial arts skills!
...
Lu Qiqi received the invitation to the ceremony in early May.
Summer is just around the corner, and the temperature difference between day and night is starting to change.
at night.
Lu Qiqi and Lu Yao were eating chilled loquats inside the house.
Seeing the table full of fruit peels, Qingdai quickly walked to the table and opened the ice chest containing the loquats.
As she expected, it was empty.
"Young lady, eating too many cold fruits so late will make your stomach uncomfortable!"
Qingdai looked at the two sisters struggling to stay upright, her face filled with anxiety and helplessness.
Lu Qiqi waved her hand and said, "These chilled loquats should be eaten as soon as possible so we can enjoy them to our hearts' content."
Don't get anxious or upset, it's not worth it.
Your daughter is a doctor herself; this little bit of loquat won't bother her.
Loquats in May are rare and precious items that are offered as tribute. You should know that these loquats will not appear in the market until the end of May, or even closer to June.
Thinking of this, Qingdai said, "Miss, the young master treats you so well."
These loquats, a rare tribute, were sent in such large quantities.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qiqi was stunned for a moment.
In her previous life, she lived in a place of peace and prosperity, a vast and resource-rich land with convenient transportation, where it was easy to find fresh loquats.
Even out-of-season fruits are available, so I don't feel much of a difference.
These days, even a few loquats can be the envy of many, so it must have taken Song Yanqing a lot of effort to get these loquats.
The loquats in the ice chest are precious, but the heart that gave them is priceless.
Thinking of this, Lu Qiqi also revealed a smile.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Qiqi asked Haitang to lead Lu Yao back to the house to rest.
Qingdai had the ice chest removed and the table cleaned.
As she removed Lu Qiqi's hairpins, she asked, "Miss, it's the Tatar princess's wedding. Are you really going to attend?"
Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, Lu Qiqi asked in return, "Why don't you go?"
Qingdai, who was by her side, knew more or less about the grudges between the two. "This servant is afraid that the Tatars are malicious and may harm you."
Now that Wu Qi's sharp claws and fangs have been broken, if she were to use the people from Xiang Lou again, she would undoubtedly be exposed to the Shadow Guards.
This would actually save Song Yanqing a lot of trouble.
Unfortunately, Uchi isn't that stupid.
Lu Qiqi said, "She has repeatedly tried to harm me. Now that she is getting married, if I don't go to congratulate her, wouldn't I be missing an opportunity to upset her?"
Upon hearing this, Qingdai seemed to understand something, put down the jade hairpin in her hand, and took her leave.
On the day of the wedding, Lu Qiqi went to the ceremony with Xuan Wenying.
During the wedding ceremony, Lu Qiqi stood in the crowd and saw that Wu Qi's wrist injury had largely healed.
After the bride was led to the bridal chamber, the groom entertained the guests in the front yard.
Lu Qiqi took the opportunity to find the new house, and seeing that no one was around, she pushed the door open and went in.
When Ruixin saw Lu Qiqi's face, she immediately scolded, "Who let you into the house!"
Upon hearing the sound, Wu Qi dropped the fan in her hand and met Lu Qiqi's gaze.
She parted her red lips slightly, "Princess Kang Le went alone, yet she wasn't afraid I had a hidden ambush?"
Wu Qi admires this courage!
Lu Qiqi said, "You went to great lengths to have an invitation delivered. If I don't accept the invitation, wouldn't I be letting you down?"
Ignoring Lu Qiqi's sarcasm, Wu Qi said with hatred, "Don't think that you can trap me in this mansion just because you've crippled my martial arts."
As long as I, Wuqi, live, I will fight you to the death!
Lu Qiqi was speechless for a moment, not expecting that Wu Qi's invitation was actually a way to make a threat.
Just as she was about to leave, she heard Wu Qi's sinister voice, "Don't you want to know where the Fragrant Pavilion that Prince Song has been searching for is?"
These words successfully caught Lu Qiqi's attention. Song Yanqing had been searching for Xianglou for many days but had made no progress. If he could get information from Wu Qi, he would be very happy.
That would save a lot of trouble.
However, she wasn't naive enough to believe that Uchi would kindly tell her.
What are your requirements?
Wu Qi revealed a triumphant smile, "I want you to kill yourself. As long as you kill yourself, I will tell your beloved Prince Song the exact location of the Fragrant Pavilion."
Lu Qiqi looked at her face—blood-red lips, a deathly pale complexion—and her expression became increasingly ferocious as she spoke.
She said, "Wuqi, you have gone mad. The Tatars' spies in the Great Jin Dynasty are doomed."
We'll find the exact location of the incense tower sooner or later.
You'll just have to wait to grow old and die in this inner quarters!
After saying that, she pushed open the door and walked out of the bridal chamber, leaving Wuqi shouting loudly inside.
Lu Qiqi never expected Wu Qi to tell her to commit suicide. If she had known, she certainly wouldn't have come to the appointment.
Gou Weizhi was transferred from the Hanlin Academy, and Gou Dexing's life at the Dali Temple was not easy either.
In such an inner courtyard, Madam Gou would certainly make sure Wu Qi stood properly and would not let her have an easy time.
Unfortunately, Wuqi was filled with hatred and had no idea that she had entered a dead end.
At the wedding banquet, Xuan Wenying searched for a long time before finally finding Lu Qiqi. Upon seeing her, she pulled her to her seat.
Chen Siqi was closest to Lu Qiqi. Seeing the person approaching, she sneered, "Some people are just wandering around aimlessly, they don't even know a little bit of manners!"
Lu Qiqi took it as mere barking and ignored her completely, but she didn't forget to teach her a lesson.
Taking advantage of Chen Siqi's inattention, someone put a vegetable worm into her bowl, which startled Chen Siqi so much that she almost jumped off the table.
Chen Siqi dared not shout at the banquet, fearing it would attract the attention of the ladies. She could only glare angrily at Lu Qiqi and swallow her grievances.
However, Chen Siyi, who was sitting to the side, suddenly started gagging at the table, which attracted the attention of the women present.
Xuan Wenying asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"
He vomited in public, which aroused the curiosity of everyone present, and many people began to ask him questions.
Ding Wanyue's scalp tightened, and she quickly explained, "The junior ate something cold last night, which must have caused this."
I'm truly sorry to have spoiled your enjoyment, ladies.
As Madam Gou was entertaining the women, she naturally had to show some concern. "I see. Why don't we invite a doctor to come and examine them?"
It was just a formality; it was a major taboo for a doctor to enter the house for a consultation on the wedding day.
Those present were all shrewd individuals and did not echo the sentiment.
Ding Wanyue naturally understood the reasoning behind it, and she smiled and said, "No need to trouble Madam Gou, my daughter is not feeling well, so I will take my leave first."
After saying a few polite words, Madam Gou had someone escort Ding Wanyue and her daughter away from the banquet.
Lu Qiqi watched their departing figures, lost in thought.
