Chapter 570: Palace Change
On the day when the eldest princess married her daughter, there was a grand ceremony with red wedding ceremonies all over the place, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.
Jiang Qibin was riding by on horseback and just happened to see the wedding sedan passing by.
The wind blew, and the bride covered with a veil appeared.
"Don't look at it." Chen Yong said, "Don't miss the important thing."
Today, the Meng family is getting married, and Princess Minghua is getting married. People from all over the city are lining up to watch this happy event.
Since Song Ruize spent money on his wedding, it seems like something is missing if it doesn't rain money on the wedding day. Recently, three weddings have been held in the city, and money was spent on each wedding. Therefore, the people are also waiting for the Meng family to spend money.
The Meng family did not disappoint everyone. As expected, a lot of copper coins were scattered like flowers from heaven.
Although it is not as lavish as the Song family, it is a pleasant surprise for ordinary people. After all, how many families can be as generous as the Song family?
The combination of the Meng Mansion and the Princess' Mansion is a powerful combination of the top aristocratic circles. Today, all civil and military officials above the fourth rank appeared at the Meng Mansion's wedding banquet with their families.
"I heard that the Queen Mother, the Emperor and the Queen have all appeared at the Meng Mansion." Someone in the crowd said.
"The daughter-in-law that the Meng family married is the daughter of the eldest princess, that is, the daughter of a royal relative. It is normal for the nobles in the palace to come and watch the ceremony in person."
At this time, Qin Huiyin was having snacks with Li Taohua at Tang's house.
The bustle outside seemed to have nothing to do with them.
"Yinyin, if things get chaotic later, can the people in our house protect us?" Li Taohua said, "How about we hide in the secret room?"
"Don't worry, mother. There won't be any trouble here." Qin Huiyin said, "I just don't know what's going on with big brother. Big brother is a weak scholar, and swords have no eyes. What if he is hurt? With big brother's current official position, if he doesn't attend such a banquet, it will easily arouse suspicion. But don't worry, mother, I will leave Song Yi to Song Si to big brother."
"Song Yi to Song Si are the personal guards that your son-in-law arranged for you. Why did you keep them for your elder brother? If there is chaos later and someone breaks into our Tang Mansion, and there is no one around who can fight, wouldn't that be very dangerous?"
"No."
Tang Luwu came over with the prepared facial mask and said, "Let's make a facial mask! This is a good time to make a facial mask and then lie down and chat about gossip."
"Since you went to the border, you've obviously become bolder," Li Taohua said, "But you're doing very well now, keep it up."
Shang Zimo walked in with his troops.
"Why are you here?" Tang Luwu had just put on her facial mask when she saw Shang Zimo coming in with his troops. She asked in confusion, "Why did you bring people here? We haven't done anything wrong, have we?"
Shang Zimo was quite nervous at first, but was amused by her words.
"I'll leave some men for you, in case there's chaos later and no one is there to protect you. These are the best men in the Imperial Guard, all of them are my men, you can trust them."
"Today is a good opportunity. If you seize it, maybe you can move up a level." Qin Huiyin reminded.
"Thank you for the reminder, Miss Second."
Shang Zimo's advancement did not rely on the Tang family at all. In fact, no one else knew Shang Zimo's original background, and Tang Yichen had no intention of getting close to him.
Tang Yichen hopes that Shang Zimo will become a hidden knife protecting the Tang family.
If he unfortunately became a victim of political struggle, at least there was still such a hidden knife running around for the Tang family, so that his family would not be implicated by him.
"Zimo, be careful." Tang Luwu called out.
Shang Zimo nodded: "Don't worry, Miss, I will come back safely."
After Shang Zimo left, several women from the Tang family lay there applying facial masks, doing skin care, and chatting about interesting things that had happened recently, trying to pass the time and divert their attention.
At this time, the sound of fighting could be heard.
The pedestrians on the street became noisy.
"Oh my god! On such a happy day, there was a rebellion in the Meng Mansion."
"It's not the Meng family, but the princess. Someone just reported that the princess poisoned the Meng family's wedding banquet. All the civil and military officials and their families were poisoned, including the empress dowager, the emperor, and the queen. Everyone, go home and hide. I think the capital is going to change."
"Let's start." said Li Taohua.
"I suddenly feel a little nervous." Tang Luwu took off her mask and said worriedly, "Big brother, Lord Song, and Zimo are all there. I am on standby with the people from the Imperial Hospital."
Qin Huiyin did not attend the wedding banquet because Song Ruize and Tang Yichen gathered all the people in the Tang family and explained that everything would be turned upside down on the day when the eldest princess married her daughter.
Since we knew something would happen that day, of course we couldn't let the Tang family members take risks.
All they had to do was wait for them to come back.
Originally, the eldest princess would not start a rebellion on this day, but in order to intensify the conflict and make the eldest princess make such an impulsive decision, Song Ruize and Tang Yichen worked hard to cooperate.
Among the eldest princess’s advisers is Tang Yichen’s man.
Someone on Song Ruize's side also created the illusion that the prince was going to attack the eldest princess on that day.
A lure, a false plot, and the eldest princess's ambition clouded her mind. The Meng family pretended to surrender but was actually just cooperating in a play, which led to the current rebellion.
The eldest princess was played a game of chess by them, and her biggest mistake was that she was too self-righteous. She thought she had everyone in her hands, but that was not the case.
As this sudden change lasted longer, the women became increasingly restless.
Tang Dafu brought the roast duck and said, "I learned this from the chef in the kitchen. You can try my cooking skills."
Li Taohua said unhappily: "If you are scared, you can talk to us for a while. We won't laugh at you."
Tang Dafu said: "I just want to learn something to make you happy."
Late that night, the fighting stopped.
Tang Yichen and Song Ruize's people came one after another to report that they were safe, saying that the eldest princess's party had been controlled, but there was no guarantee that there were no remnants, so they were told not to go out.
That night, Qin Huiyin and Tang Luwu slept in each other's arms.
"Yinyin, my elder brother asked elder brother Wei to start a rebellion. In the future, he will also fight and kill like he did today. Will I also be as frightened as I am today?"
"Yes." Qin Huiyin looked at Tang Luwu, "It's not too late to regret now."
Tang Luwu hugged her arms and shook her head gently: "I won't regret it."
Song Yi's voice came from outside the door: "Madam, Miss, Master Song and Master Tang are back. They are both going to bathe and change clothes. They will rest in Tang Mansion tonight. Master Song said that Madam will sleep with the eldest lady tonight, and he will go to Madam's boudoir to rest before she gets married."
"I'm back!" Tang Luwu said happily, "Do you know how the Imperial Guards are doing? Is Shang Zimo okay?"
"Commander Shang has performed meritorious service and saved the emperor. Although he was slightly injured, his life is not in danger, so he should be fine."
