Chapter 706: Dancing Princess vs. East Factory Admiral 66
Quan Jiu fell on the bed, her long black hair spread out. She glanced in the direction of the door and reminded:
"The door is full of guards and maids, so take it easy."
In two hours, the nanny who will help her dress up will come in.
Shen Lang's actions tonight were too invasive, and he had no intention of getting up:
"The one who should take it easy is not me, but you."
Quan Jiu: “???”
What?
Chen Lang: "Call a little quieter later."
Quan Jiu: “????”
Under her stunned gaze, Shen Lang untied his belt...
"Madam, you've worked so hard on my illness, don't you want to see some results?"
Quan Jiu realized what he was about to do, put his hands behind his back, and stepped back deeper into the bed:
"Chen Lang, stop making trouble. Today is not the right time. The ceremony will be held in a few hours..."
"I know."
Shen Lang interrupted her and rushed forward.
"So I came early to spend his wedding night with him."
………
Quan Jiu was drowsy looking at the bronze mirror.
"My lady, did you not get enough rest last night?"
The maid who was combing her hair saw her fatigue and whispered softly.
"But that's normal. I've seen many young ladies off to get married, and most of them, like you, were too nervous and excited to sleep the night before."
Quan Jiu: “…”
She didn't even have the strength to speak.
Chen Lang was really cruel. He only reluctantly let her go when a nanny knocked on the door and wanted to come in. She was in a mess at the time and didn't even want to move a finger. Still, Chen Lang held her in his arms and helped her put on her clothes.
A bunch of maids and palace maids fiddled with her head for more than half an hour. When it came to the makeup step, a palace maid hesitated and said:
"My Lady, on this wedding day, you won't even take off your mask?"
I heard that her face was disfigured in a fire when she was young. After so many years, I don’t know what she looks like after recovering.
Quan Jiu thought for a moment and said, "Put on the headscarf and then take it off."
The maid didn't dare to guess her thoughts and could only ask, "But these rouge and powder..."
"Need not."
Quan Jiu interrupted her.
"You guys go out, I'll change into my wedding dress first."
The palace maid was shocked again: "The wedding dress has five layers inside and outside, it is too complicated. Let me help the queen change clothes."
Quan Jiu's body was covered with red marks left by Chen Lang, and he couldn't let anyone look at him.
"I'll put on my inner clothes first. I'll call you when I find I don't know how to put on my outer clothes."
Because she doesn't wear makeup, she starts getting dressed earlier than expected.
In order to celebrate the occasion for the whole nation, Chu Tuo specially ordered the sedan chair to go out of the city and make a circle before entering the palace.
"My Lady, we're here."
The palace maid whispered a reminder outside the sedan chair.
Chu Tuo, who had been waiting outside for a long time, was wearing a bright red wedding dress. With a smile on his face, he took the jade ruyi handed to him by Eunuch Zhou and prepared to lift the curtain of the sedan chair.
Unexpectedly, before he could move, the person sitting in the sedan chair came out on his own initiative.
Quan Jiu was wearing a bright red wedding gown embroidered with a phoenix and a veil covering her head, so her face couldn't be seen. However, Chu Tuo felt that she was looking at him at that moment.
"His Majesty."
Quan Jiu pretended not to know that he had made a mistake.
Chu Tuo stared at her for a long time before he concluded that she didn't mean it. That's right, she had been presented as a man since she was a child, so she must not be familiar with the details of a woman's marriage.
Chu Tuoliang glanced at the nanny who came with the dowry.
She doesn't understand normality, but can't Mammy teach her?
Facing his gaze, the nanny broke out in a cold sweat and wanted to protest her innocence.
It's not that she didn't want to say it, but the other party simply didn't listen. She had just said a few words when Quan Jiu stopped her.
Eunuch Zhou reminded: "Your Majesty, the auspicious time is almost here, please go in."
Chu Tuo: “Yeah.”
He held one end of the red silk and entered the throne room with Quan Jiu.
The person in charge of the wedding was the Empress Dowager. She said something with a solemn face, but Quan Jiu didn't hear a word she said.
According to the time, Shen Lang should have arrived, but he hasn't shown up yet. Could something have happened?
Quan Jiu was thinking absentmindedly until the emcee shouted "Bow to Heaven and Earth" and she finally came back to her senses.
Chu Tuo had been waiting for her to move, and when he saw that she didn't turn around, he frowned and reminded her.
"My beloved?"
Quan Jiu pretended not to hear. She was hesitating whether to get married. Out of selfishness, she definitely didn't want to get married with Chu Tuo, not even for the sake of formality.
But what is going on with Chen Lang?
She didn't move, and the ministers watching the ceremony also noticed something unusual. Chu Tuo felt unhappy, but he suppressed his anger and said:
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Quan Jiu: “…”
She was about to admit it when the sound of kicking the door suddenly rang out throughout the hall. Chu Tuo instinctively turned around and saw teams of people in guard uniforms rushing in.
Eunuch Zhou reacted the fastest and immediately scolded:
"Bold guard! Do you know what day it is today? Get out of here right now!"
He looked around: "Where is Commander Yan of the Imperial Guard?"
After he finished speaking, there was silence all around, and the person who was supposed to jump out disappeared.
Chu Tuo's expression changed slightly. As a traitor who had successfully usurped the throne, he was very clear about the current situation:
"Someone come! Protect me!"
The remaining generals and guards in the hall immediately rushed forward and surrounded him tightly.
Chu Tuo had been staring at the gate, knowing that the person who was plotting rebellion would definitely appear. Sure enough, what caught his eye was a pair of black boots, and above that, a black robe embroidered with python patterns.
"It's you?!!"
Chu Tuo saw Chen Lang's face clearly, and while he was shocked, he also felt a sense of expectation.
The Minister of Justice's face darkened. "Sir Shen, today is His Majesty's great day. What's your intention in sending people to surround the palace?"
After Shen Lang entered the hall, his eyes immediately fell on Quan Jiu.
She had a veil covering her head and was standing straight. When she heard the word "Master Shen", she obviously looked in his direction.
Shen Lang's mood inexplicably improved a lot.
He sneered at the Minister of Justice, shook his sleeves, and stood in the center of the team:
"What do I mean? At this point, could it be that Minister Han's eyes are blurry and he can't see it?"
Chu Tuo stared at his face intently: "You are so bold to raise an army to rebel, Chen Lang."
Shen Lang responded indifferently: "Come to think of it, I learned this move from you, Your Majesty."
Chu Tuo was hit in the sore spot, and his heart sank slightly: "If you surrender now, I can spare your life."
Chen Lang saw what he was thinking at a glance, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Your Majesty, are you waiting for Commander Yan?"
Chu Tuo tightened his fingers: "What did you do to him?"
"Your Majesty, if you want to know, you might as well take a look for yourself."
Chen Lang picked up something from the crowd and threw it. A bloody head rolled to Chu Tuo's feet. It was Yan Shu, the commander of the Imperial Guards.
Yan Shu's eyes were wide open, his face showing that he would not close his eyes in death.
Seeing Yan Shu's face clearly, Chu Tuo felt a chill in his heart! !
Yan Shu is the guardian of emperors of all dynasties. He has unfathomable martial arts skills and only obeys the orders of the emperor.
