Chapter 166 No Reason Required
Yu Rubai received the best new wedding——
Tianshan Snow Lotus.
Yu Rubai went to the place where Su Zhizhi fell to dig up the snow, and then found another snow lotus.
I nearly lost my life climbing over mountains and hills to find something, but now I find two of them in one go.
Yu Rubai's eyes were red with excitement.
Hua Qianjiao said, "Consider this a wedding gift from Zhizhi."
People in the martial arts world don't follow so many rules and act decisively. Before Hua Qianjiao left, Master Hua Valley held a wedding ceremony for Hua Qianjiao and Yu Rubai.
Although it was a wedding, it was still held in the Five Poison Valley, and people from the Divine Doctor Valley were invited to join the banquet.
Everyone drank the wedding wine together in a lively atmosphere.
Yu Renxin and Yu Changsheng looked at the elders of the Five Poison Valley excitedly, happy that Xiaobai finally had a home.
After the wedding banquet, the people from the Divine Doctor Valley discussed pharmaceutical production with the people from the Five Poison Valley, and the two sides were in harmony.
Yu Rubai was dressed as a red groom. After he toasted everyone with two glasses of wine, he was dragged into the bridal chamber by Hua Er Niang.
Su Zhizhi and Xue Che drank sweet rice wine.
Xue Che was a little absent-minded.
Su Zhizhi: "Ache, are you unhappy?"
Xue Che: "I'm happy, but I didn't expect Doctor Yu to get married so suddenly. In the capital, many families may have to wait a year or even several years from engagement to marriage. Here, it can be done in a few days."
Qiu Jinyu said from the side, "But those who are engaged may not know each other even if they wait for a few years, but Hua Erniang and Doctor Yu have known each other for more than ten years."
Ni Tianji followed up, "Aqiu, you and I have known each other for decades."
Qiu Jinyu: "Shut up."
Ni Tianji: "Okay."
Su Zhizhi said regretfully, "I can't sleep in Sister Hua's fragrant room anymore."
Xue Che: "Then when we return to the village, we'll go pick some flowers and put them in your house. They'll smell great too."
Su Zhizhi nodded: "Then I will put a lot of flowers."
…
Qin Yuan returned to Chang'an to report.
The city of Chang'an was also covered with white snow, and every household hung red lanterns.
It’s the New Year.
Qin Yuan reported to Murong Yu that the Lingnan winter clothing had been delivered to the northwest on time and in the correct quantity. The soldiers in the northwest were all grateful to the emperor and admired his wisdom.
Murong Yu also received a memorial from Xue Yucheng, which was full of compliments.
Murong Yu praised Qin Yuan for his good work and rewarded him. He also asked casually:
"How is your grandfather's health? Is he recuperating well in his hometown?"
Qin Yuan: "I just returned to Beijing. I heard from my family that my grandfather is living out his days in his hometown, not concerned with worldly affairs. I think he's doing well."
Murong Yu nodded.
Qin Yuan is Shufei's biological brother. Qin Yuan received rewards in the previous dynasty, and Shufei also received some rewards in the harem.
Shufei became even more powerful in the harem.
It just so happened that the Queen's father, Imperial Censor Du Yu, had displeased the Emperor with his advice some time ago, and the Queen's arrogance was also lowered a bit.
Inside Yifeng Palace.
A palace maid came over in small steps and reported beside the desk:
"Empress, Eunuch Wang has sent a message to the Imperial Kitchen. We will still have our meal at Yaohua Palace today."
"At noon, Lady Lin went to the Imperial Study to deliver sweet soup to the Emperor. She was not allowed in, so she just handed the soup to the eunuch."
Nanny Dong asked the palace maid to report and then leave.
The Queen was sitting at her desk copying Buddhist scriptures, her brows furrowed.
"She's so useless! She couldn't even seize the opportunities I arranged for her."
The Queen was referring to Concubine Lin.
As Concubine Shu became more and more arrogant in the harem, the Queen deliberately selected a few good-looking newcomers in the harem to sleep with her.
However, after sleeping with them, the emperor was only interested in them for two or three days, and none of them could capture his heart.
Thinking of the scene where the emperor had praised the Qin brothers and sisters in front of everyone, the queen felt like a stone was pressing on her heart and could no longer copy the Buddhist scriptures in her hands.
"Your Majesty, please take a rest for a while. I will give you a massage." Nanny Dong brought the queen a cup of hot tea.
The Queen has been very worried and in poor spirits recently. Although she carries the amulet given by Master Mingguang with her, she is still not as good as before.
The Queen wanted to stay in Ciguang Temple for a while, but how could she leave with peace of mind given the current situation in the palace?
"Is there really no one in this palace who is better than Concubine Shu?" The Queen sneered.
Nanny Dong's fingers massaged the sides of the queen's head lightly, and she thought of someone.
Concubine Shu had also been neglected before.
When Pei Shu was in favor, who in the entire harem was not neglected?
Nanny Dong thought about it in her heart, but didn't dare say it in front of the Queen. The events of more than ten years ago were still a hurdle in the Queen's heart.
But Nanny Dong didn't say anything, and the person came to the door on his own initiative.
"Empress Dowager," the palace attendant who had just left came back in to announce, "Concubine Hui requests an audience."
"Who?" The Queen suddenly opened her eyes and brushed away Nanny Dong's kneading hands. "What is she doing here?"
The palace maid said, "Replying to the Empress, Concubine Hui only said that she wanted to see the Empress. If she can't see her, then she should wait at the palace gate."
It's still snowing outside and the wind is strong.
In such a heavy snowstorm, if I waited at the palace gate, people coming and going would see how pitiful I looked.
The Queen took a sip of hot tea and said, "Let her go into Yifeng Palace and wait outside the palace gate."
The palace maid took the order and left.
Through the silk gauze on the window, the queen vaguely saw a palace servant leading two figures into the courtyard.
The two figures behind were both gray and white, with their heads lowered.
The Queen put down the teacup and told Nanny Dong to close the window.
"I need to take a short nap, and no one is allowed to disturb me."
The queen fell asleep on the couch.
The snow outside the door was getting heavier and heavier, and the wind was hitting the window panels and the people waiting silently in the yard.
The silver charcoal in the house burned brightly, and even the fruity fragrance emanating from the jar was warm.
Perhaps because she didn't sleep well last night, she actually fell asleep while lying on the couch without realizing it.
She saw herself in her youth in her dream.
When she was sixteen, she participated in a beauty pageant. She walked on the palace road wearing a jacket and skirt embroidered with gold butterflies, with her hair and skirt neatly arranged.
She bowed to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, dignified and graceful, without a single mistake in her movements.
Du Ru was the one who learned the rules best among the girls in the selection school. Even so, her heart still started beating wildly when she saw the young and handsome Murong Yu.
She secretly glanced at Murong Yu out of the corner of her eye, but found that he was looking at someone else.
Du Ru looked over and saw Pei Shu, who looked like an otherworldly being.
What a beauty, so beautiful that she couldn't help but take a second look.
Du Ru swallowed the bitterness in her heart, bowed, and stood aside with her head lowered.
But the next moment, Murong Yu turned his gaze towards her and smiled at her:
"The daughter of the Du family is indeed gentle, quiet, dignified and generous."
The bitterness in Du Ru's heart instantly turned into a delicate flower in spring, and she was flattered and said:
"Your Majesty, I thank you for your praise."
Later, she was enthroned as queen and stood on a high place side by side with Murong Yu, watching the court officials bow their heads and kowtow.
On the night of the Emperor and Empress's wedding, Du Ru summoned up the courage to ask, "I know my appearance and family background are not the best. Why did the Emperor choose me as his empress?"
The young emperor looked at her and said in a low voice, "As long as I like it, there is no need for a reason."
The red candles are bright and the wedding dress is fiery red.
Every word Murong Yu uttered was filled with warmth, falling into Du Ru's ears and burning her face red...
There was a loud bang in the charcoal brazier.
The queen woke up.
When I just woke up, my eyes were still a little hazy, and it seemed that the scenes in my dream were still lingering in front of me.
She sighed wistfully.
He said so.
He clearly said that he liked it, what he liked back then...
"Your Majesty, do you want to get up?" Nanny Dong came over with a coat.
The queen slowly sat up from the couch and saw that it was getting dark outside.
"Madam Dong, how long have I been sleeping?"
"The queen slept soundly for over an hour."
The queen looked up and saw outside the palace, through the silk gauze, the figures of a master and servant could be vaguely seen.
She nodded her chin condescendingly:
"Let her in."
