Chapter 31 Three wedding sedan chairs, a rare spectacle
Duke Ming swung his sleeves and bowed deeply to Yun Qingqing:
"Master Yun, please give me some advice!"
Yun Qingqing gave him a hand and said:
"Since ancient times, mountain ghosts are different from ordinary monsters. They embody the will of the mountains and rivers, and their cultivation method is to protect the living beings in a certain area. They are like mountain gods."
"If you build a temple in the right place to worship this mountain ghost lady, she will be able to gain power and then repair the damaged feng shui here, and also include the Ming family in her protection area."
Duke Ming made the decision without much hesitation, and Yun Qingqing pointed out the precautions for rebuilding the ancestral tomb and the location for building the Mountain Ghost Temple.
Yun Qingqing asked Ming Cheng again who he bought the bronze mirror with the Yin Gathering Array engraved on it from, but learned that it was a sorcerer he met on the street. He believed the sorcerer because the sorcerer's stories were so accurate. Little did he know that he bought such a dangerous thing.
Now I don’t know where to settle the score with the other party, so I have to give up.
Half an hour later.
"Qingqing, thank goodness you came up with such a good idea. Otherwise, even if the Yin energy is purified, the best Feng Shui land on my Zhiluo Mountain will be completely ruined!" The mountain ghost Zhiluo took Yun Qingqing's arm and smiled as he sent her to the foot of the mountain.
The mountain ghost is the incarnation of the mountains and rivers, and the names of the mountains and rivers are her name.
The mountain ghost girl, after removing the talisman paper, had a face that could captivate everyone. Her long satin hair and red skirt fluttered in the wind, making her look like a fairy or a demon, bewitching everyone. This was also the characteristic of the mountain ghost itself.
"Please come to my temple often when you have time in the future!" Zhiluo said reluctantly.
Yun Qingqing: “…”
Girl, have you forgotten that there is a grave there? I don't really want to come here often.
Yun Qingqing and Xiao Changheng left first. The Ming family had to deal with the follow-up matters of the ancestral tomb and would be busy for a while.
On the way back to Beijing, Xiao Changheng said that he wanted to discuss the issue of the "evil concubine" rumors and asked Yun Qingqing to ride in his carriage.
Nan Zheng thought to himself: The prince is just looking for an excuse to ride with the princess.
However, Yun Qingqing got on the carriage, yawned loudly, and muttered:
"I can probably guess who spread the rumor, but I've just calculated that it's hard to find evidence. Haven't you heard that it takes only one mouth to spread a rumor and many efforts to refute it? It's not worth the effort... Anyway, as long as the old Duke doesn't come out to attack me, the remaining few won't be able to do anything... Never mind, I'll take a nap, call me when you get there."
After saying that, she leaned against the window frame and fell asleep.
Xiao Changheng: “…”
He listened to the girl's even breathing in silence for a while, and suddenly remembered the last time she came to the palace late at night to treat his leg disease, and she also fell into a deep sleep without any warning.
Thinking of what happened that night, he curled his fingers slightly, hesitated for a moment, then reached out and carefully held her in his arms.
The girl's brows twitched slightly, she hummed twice indistinctly, and then nestled in his arms without moving.
The sleeping girl no longer looked like the sometimes mischievous and sometimes imposing girl when she was awake, but was also obedient and soft. The man couldn't help but lower his head and gently rub her hair, curling the corners of his lips.
Yun Qingqing slept until dark.
She was dazed for a moment when she opened her eyes, then sat up with a flutter. She looked around and realized that she had returned to her room in the Yun Mansion.
"Didn't you agree to wake me up when you get there..." The woman pouted.
"Miss, are you awake?" Qiao'er smiled and poured a cup of warm tea and handed it to her. "It was the Regent who personally sent Miss back to her room. The Prince really cares about Miss!"
“In person?” In a wheelchair…?
"Yes! Don't look at the prince's current state, but he is still the god of war of our Liang country. He easily brought the young lady in..."
"Okay, okay, I get it, you don't have to say anything." Yun Qingqing stroked her forehead.
The problem of not being able to hold on and fall asleep after using the mysterious magic needs to be solved as soon as possible.
She had to recover as soon as possible.
…
In the next few days, Duke Ming claimed to be ill and closed the door to visitors, so no one came to see him.
The answer is that he went to another garden to recuperate.
Yun Qingqing certainly knew the real reason. The old Duke was busy repairing his own ancestral tomb, but it would be too embarrassing to tell this to others, so he claimed to be ill to cover it up.
The several ministers who had previously used the Book of All People to criticize Yun Qingqing had lost their backbone and did not dare to confront the Regent head-on, so the matter ended in nothing.
In a blink of an eye, it’s the eighth day of the New Year.
The wedding day.
The Prince Regent and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were married on the same day, and the Emperor granted special permission for both weddings to take place in the Imperial Palace. This was an unprecedented event since the founding of the country, and the news had already spread throughout the city.
The two daughters of the Yun family got married at the same time, and the atmosphere became lively from the fourth watch.
Yun Bailian sat in front of the dressing mirror, looking at herself in the mirror wearing a bright red wedding dress and exquisite makeup. Her heart pounded with excitement at the thought of becoming the Crown Princess.
"Miss, you are so beautiful today! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has good taste. For example, that ugly girl in the East Courtyard, only a blind man would fall in love with her!" The personal maid covered her mouth and laughed quietly.
Yun Bailian thought of the "added" meals that were delivered to her every day and sneered:
"Even if you are blind, you will soon avoid her! Do you think you can turn your life around by marrying the Regent? Oh, we'll see!"
She suddenly felt itchy on her face and scratched it twice.
The maid quickly stopped him:
"Hey Miss, please stop scratching your face. It will ruin your makeup and make you look ugly!"
"I know! I just felt like a small bug flew onto my face just now. Please help me check it out." Yun Bailian frowned.
"Let me check... No, maybe it was just a strand of hair that touched it."
The auspicious time had arrived. Yun Bailian did not think much about it. She covered her head with the veil, stood up and was taken out by the bride-receiving nanny.
On the other side, Yun Qingqing's dressing and makeup were all taken care of by Qiao'er, Yan Jinghua and Nanny Zhao. The door of the room was kept closed until the auspicious time, when the maids from the palace were allowed in to take the newlywed out with the veil already covered.
When a prince or a prince gets married, the wedding sedan will first parade around the inner city.
The two wedding sedans coming out of the Yun Mansion soon joined the wedding sedan from the Su Mansion. The entire procession was huge and began to tour the city along the main official road where six carriages could run side by side.
The roads along the way were already crowded with common people, who stretched their necks to catch a glimpse of this once-in-a-century royal wedding.
"Look! That's the Crown Princess' wedding sedan! It's so gorgeous!"
"I heard that the Crown Princess is destined to be a phoenix, and she is a perfect match for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. With her as the Crown Princess, our Liang Kingdom will surely be peaceful and prosperous!"
"That's right. Even the most talented woman in the capital can only be a concubine in front of her. Who says she is destined to be a phoenix?"
Yun Bailian smiled as she listened to all the praises, while Su Yurou in the other sedan clenched her fists tightly with hatred flashing in her eyes.
At this moment, someone else shouted:
"Look, these three wedding sedan chairs are parallel to each other. Isn't it obvious which of the dowry processions behind them is longer or shorter?"
"Yes! Come and take a look. I'm really curious about which side has the most generous dowry!"
The two people in the sedan chair immediately pricked up their ears and listened nervously to the comparison results, fearing that their dowries would lose to the other party.
Yun Bailian, in particular, gritted her teeth and secretly criticized the prince.
He said nice things at the time, saying he would find a way to prepare a dowry for her, but in the end he actually asked her to take the betrothal gifts back as a dowry!
As a result, Yun Zhiping couldn't bear to let her take it all away, so he kept one third for himself!
It would be so embarrassing if I were defeated by someone here today.
She was gnashing her teeth secretly when she heard someone say in surprise:
"Eh? Aren't there three sedan chairs? Why are there four rows of dowry?"
