Chapter 229 Marriage
The chief eunuch stood in front of King Yu. King Yu walked around him and stared at Xu Jingyang's back without moving.
Until the man by the lake turned around.
King Yu felt cold all over, and then his blood began to boil.
Xu Jingyang naturally also saw King Yu.
She looked away, her expression indifferent.
To her, King Yu was just a stranger.
There was a noise behind me soon. It was Qi Yanyu coming out.
Qi Yanyu naturally took Xu Jingyang's hand and said, "Let's go back."
Xu Jingyang hummed.
Seeing this, Prince Yu at the palace gate wanted to chase after him, but the chief eunuch stopped him and said, "Your Highness Prince Yu, don't forget the emperor's instructions."
King Yu stopped in his tracks.
The guards around took a step back.
King Yu closed his eyes solemnly and walked away.
When Xu Jingyang returned to the Gu Mansion, Doctor Gu had a rosy face and was directing the housekeeper to decorate the yard. All the furniture was replaced with new ones.
Doctor Gu looked at Xu Jingyang and saw that there was nothing unusual on his face, so he felt relieved.
Doctor Gu: "Go in, there are people waiting for you inside."
Xu Jingyang raised his eyebrows slightly. If it was Qi Yunshen, Doctor Gu would have said it directly long ago.
Doctor Gu smiled slightly: "The little girl is here."
Xu Jingyang was delighted.
She walked into the yard, where several guards from the Duke's Mansion were guarding. Zizhu was guarding by the couch, and Qi Zhenzhen was sleeping soundly under the soft quilt.
Xu Jingyang approached quietly and saw his daughter's sleeping profile, and his heart softened.
Zizhu took a step back, giving Xu Jingyang room to move forward.
Qi Zhenzhen had slept for more than an hour, and it was time to wake up. She rubbed her eyes, and when she saw Xu Jingyang, her eyebrows curved, and she threw herself into Xu Jingyang's arms without even putting on her outer robe.
"Mother!"
Xu Jingyang hugged the little girl, who was breastfeeding in her arms. She curled her lips, took the clothes handed to her by Zizhu, and put them on the little girl.
Xu Jingyang touched Qi Zhenzhen's face and asked, "Why are you here today?"
Qi Zhenzhen buried her face in Xu Jingyang's arms and said in a muffled voice, "I miss mother."
After Xu Jingyang left the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, Qi Zhenzhen talked about wanting to leave the mansion every day.
The eldest princess tried to stop her, fearing that rumors unfavorable to Jing Yang would spread before the marriage, and only agreed to let her granddaughter leave the house on that day.
Qi Zhenzhen kept talking about what happened in the past few days.
"Stinky Egg flew out of the house and was caught by Uncle Qingying again."
"Grandma also said that Grandpa will be back soon and will come to attend Daddy and Mommy's wedding banquet."
…
After Zhenguogong pacified Goguryeo and resolved the issues in the north, he would return to the capital to report on his work.
Xu Jingyang listened to the little girl patiently. Suddenly, she felt a bulge below Qi Zhenzhen's neck.
"What's this?"
Xu Jingyang took out the pendant hanging around Qi Zhenzhen's neck. It was a small wooden gourd that exuded a faint medicinal fragrance.
"Grandpa gave this to me today."
It was carved by Dr. Gu himself. The gourd stem can be removed and is filled with some carefully matched medicinal herbs.
It has the effect of expelling insects and nourishing the body.
Xu Jingyang smiled and put the wooden gourd into his daughter's clothes. "Wear it."
The little girl nodded obediently: "Mom, will Daddy come later?"
After Xu Jingyang moved out of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, Qi Yunshen came almost every day, sometimes early in the morning, sometimes after finishing his shift. He would have dinner with Xu Jingyang and then hurried back.
Qi Yunshen didn't come this morning, and even if he wanted to come, it would be in the evening.
If Qi Yunshen hadn't come, Xu Jingyang would have sent Qi Zhenzhen back home himself.
The Gu family had just set up dinner, and several dishes were made by Dr. Gu according to Qi Zhenzhen's taste. As soon as the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren took their seats, Qi Yunshen arrived.
He changed out of his military uniform, and his tall body was wrapped in black clothes.
Qi Zhenzhen immediately ran towards Qi Yunshen. Qi Yunshen grabbed the little girl and put her on his neck.
Qi Zhenzhen was not afraid at all. He sat comfortably on his father's shoulders and said cheerfully, "I'm taller than Daddy."
A smile naturally appeared on Xu Jingyang's face.
The four of them finished their meal in the front yard, and some of them took a walk in the garden. Doctor Gu said he was going to the pharmacy, so he gave the family of three some space.
Xu Jingyang talked about his encounter with King Yu in broad daylight.
Qi Yunshen held her hand, matched the mother and daughter's steps, and said slowly, "In ten days or so, King Yu will leave for his fiefdom, Jinzhou. He will not return to the capital unless Your Majesty personally decrees it."
Qi Yunshen certainly would not give King Yu the opportunity to act recklessly.
In addition to Emperor Jingming's men, King Yu was also watched by Qi Yunshen's men. If King Yu had any bad intentions, he would not be allowed to leave the capital unscathed.
Qi Zhenzhen had slept during the day and was extremely excited tonight. When Qi Yunshen took her away, her big eyes like black grapes were shining brightly. She lay on Qi Yunshen's shoulder and looked at Xu Jingyang reluctantly.
The closer the wedding date is, the more time it takes for the couple to see each other three days before the wedding, according to custom. Xie Qing, who was in mourning for his father in his hometown, also rushed back before the wedding.
The Gu Mansion was decorated with lights and was filled with joy. The excitement continued until the wedding day. Emperor Jingming personally sent several maids to help. Xu Jingyang didn't sleep much last night. Hou Yue pulled him out of bed while it was still dark, and the excitement lasted until dawn.
Comb all the way to the end.
Second, comb the white hair to the eyebrows.
Three combs will bring you a house full of descendants.
Xu Jingyang was dressed in a wedding dress as bright as fire, her porcelain-white face lightly powdered after washing, and she wore a phoenix coronet and bridal robe inlaid with rubies and translucent jadeite. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her lip rouge was bright red, and her outlined eyebrows and eyes were bright and charming. Her appearance was bright and charming, and she was captivating at first sight.
Several hair-combing maids were distracted for a moment, and looked at each other with admiration in their eyes.
"Please stand up, Princess, so that we can take a closer look at you."
Xu Jingyang stood up, her skirt lifting slightly as she walked, and everyone in the room held their breath.
Xu Jingyang was momentarily distracted when he looked at the person in the mirror.
She married Qi Yunshen twice.
A faint smile appeared on Xu Jingyang's lips. After many twists and turns, God gave her a chance to start over.
Today is a good day. The sun rises from the horizon, the sunlight passes over Phoenix Mountain and shines on the capital. The osmanthus tree in the yard sprouts new buds, and the whole yard is full of vitality. Amidst the congratulations of everyone, Xu Jingyang waited for Qi Yunshen.
The city was bustling with activity as Prince Qi got married. People along the way stopped in their tracks, eager to watch Prince Qi pick up his bride.
Qi Yunshen was dressed in a red robe, and the sharp and indifferent look on his face was gone. His brows were gentle, and he got off his horse and walked into the gate of Gu Mansion. The people on the street outside cheered and congratulated him.
"It's been four years. It's not easy."
"There's one less person on the list of must-marry people in the capital."
"Okay, this time the story about Prince Qi is finally over."
…
There are only two people in the Gu family, Doctor Gu and Xu Jingyang, and Xu Jingyang has no brothers.
Qi Yunshen walked into the main hall, and the first thing he saw was Xu Jingyang walking from the corridor. The woman was wearing a red wedding dress with a belt embroidered with pomegranate patterns and hanging with agate and tourmaline, which outlined her slender waist. The hem of her skirt swayed and dragged on the ground, making the bride's figure even more slender.
The exquisite veil blocked the woman's face, and Xu Jingyang could not see the road. She was led to Qi Yunshen, and Xu Jingyang's heart seemed to skip a beat.
According to etiquette, the two of them first offered tea to Doctor Gu.
After serving tea, Qi Yunshen held Xu Jingyang's hand and whispered, "Jingyang, I'm here."
Xu Jingyang moved his fingers slightly and tickled Qi Yunshen's palm.
Qi Yunshen suppressed his smile and slowly led his men out of Gu Mansion.
Doctor Gu looked at Xu Jingyang's figure and his eyes gradually turned red.
The wedding of Prince Qi almost shocked the whole capital city with the endless red wedding dress stretching for ten miles. The wedding procession started from South Street, circled back to North Street, and then went to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
The gates of Prince Yu's mansion were tightly closed. The ban imposed on him by His Majesty had not yet ended. Listening to the sound of gongs and drums outside, Prince Yu sneered in his heart.
What does it matter how affectionate Qi Yunshen pretends to be?
He met someone who looked similar to Xu Jingyang, and they ended up getting married, didn't they?
Prince Yu kicked away the woman serving him. He stared at Chen Yingyu coldly, then pinched her chin and said, "Qi Yunshen and I are the same."
Chen Yingyu shook his body, knelt down and huddled aside, not daring to speak.
When the incident of Chen Yingyu and Xiao Yu drugging someone in the imperial manor was exposed, Chen Yingyu was imprisoned on the spot. Prince Yu couldn't bear to lose face, so he pulled her out of jail and changed her name. In Prince Yu's mansion, she was not even as good as a concubine.
No matter how similar they look, they are not even a bit like Xu Jingyang.
The orderly wedding procession soon arrived at the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
But no one noticed that not far away, a thin and ugly man shed tears as he watched Xu Jingyang get out of the sedan chair.
