Chapter 343 Protection
Zhu Zhongjun was embarrassed.
If Gu Jinzhi hadn't experienced so many things, Zhu Zhongjun would not have told her embarrassing things at all in exchange for her trust.
He was afraid that Gu Jinzhi would see his disgraceful side.
In front of Gu Jinzhi, he doesn't seem to have much self-confidence...
And Gu Jinzhi's silence stabbed him fiercely.
He lay down on his side, and after saying the words he had always loved you, tears flowed down his eyes to his cheeks.
Then, Gu Jinzhi hugged him, and he felt warm.
His grievance was suddenly extinguished by such a hug.
He is really easy to coax. Gu Jinzhi gave him some sunshine and he was in a bright mood.
He turned around and hugged Gu Jinzhi tightly.
Gu Jinzhi cried a lot, and his shoulders trembled a little.
Zhu Zhongjun kissed her green silk, hugged her, and whispered, "Don't cry, just like a child. There is nothing to cry..."
His voice is also buzzing.
Gu Jinzhi huddled in his arms.
He cried for a long time, and his emotions were vented. Gu Jinzhi snuggled up to him and was silent. The warmth of his chest wrapped around Gu Jinzhi, like a golden quilt in winter, intimate and comfortable, and he couldn't bear to push it away.
Zhu Zhongjun tried to kiss Gu Jinzhi's forehead, and then slowly fell down.
Gu Jinzhi's heart, which was ironed by him, immediately chilled.
She stopped Zhu Zhongjun and said helplessly, "No, no. I still can't accept this kind of thing now. Give me some time..."
A lot of things are self-evident.
Zhu Zhongjun loves her and is full of hatred.
Hate the person who hurt Gu Jinzhi.
He held Gu Jinzhi in the palm of his hand as a treasure. He didn't want her to bump into it, but the man could hurt her like that!
The man kept Gu Jinzhi's virginity, which made Zhu Zhongjun a little confused.
Doubtful, there are also surprises.
Even so, he still hates.
"...I promise you that I won't be complauted and won't let myself be able to pull out of these strange emotions. I will try to recover as soon as possible. You give me confidence and give me time." Gu Jinzhi whispered.
Zhu Zhongjun hugged her tighter, nodded and said, "Okay. I'll wait for you. You have married me. What's my hurry? There is time and confidence, take your time..."
Gu Jinzhi's heart flowed into the warm current.
The cold air slowly dissipated.
She held Zhu Zhongjun in her arms and didn't let go.
I was so tired today that I cried again. Gu Jinzhi fell asleep soon.
Zhu Zhongjun also fell asleep unconsciously.
For more than half a month, Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun have never slept.
This is the first time I have slept so peacefully.
The second day of the wedding, you need to meet the emperor and the empress dowager.
Like at home, Gu Jinzhi woke up at the beginning of Mao.
She was about to get up when she shocked Zhu Zhongjun.
Zhu Zhongjun turned over, hugged Gu Jinzhi tightly on his side, and muttered in her ear, "What time is it?"
Gu Jinzhi smiled and said, "After five o'clock..."
"Is it more than five o'clock?" Zhu Zhongjun's voice was vague, "You can sleep for another two hours."
Gu Jinzhi's smile.
She pushed Zhu Zhongjun to get up. Zhu Zhongjun almost pressed on her.
"...it's time to get up." Gu Jinzhi pushed him, "There is still business today."
Zhu Zhongjun just woke up for three points.
In a trance, he actually thought it was his previous life.
After rubbing his sleepy eyes, Zhu Zhongjun sat up.
Gu Jinzhi also got up and called the palace people to come in to serve and change clothes.
Zhu Zhongjun still wears the prince's crown uniform, and Gu Jinzhi wears green silk embroidered clothes.
The formal crown clothes of princes and princesses are different from casual clothes. It is very tiring to wear, and they need to wear a big salute, which makes them even more tiring.
Zhu Zhongjun allowed the palace people to serve and dress, but his eyes were closely chasing Gu Jinzhi.
Seeing those tedious clothes and decorations piled up on her, Zhu Zhongjun felt that it was not easy for her, so he couldn't help but feel sad. He said to Gu Jinzhi, "After these days, I will be free in the future..."
"I'm fine." Gu Jin's way.
After dressing up, the palace man brought the morning meal.
Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun each used some and went out of the Xilan Hall.
The morning ceremony is the bride's gift of ordinary people.
The place where the morning ceremony is held is for the Jiaotai Hall between Kunning Palace and Qianqing Palace.
Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun arrived at the gate of the Jiaotai Hall. The honor guard of the brocade had already been arranged. For a while, they were greeted by ceremony and music, and there were bursts of firecrackers.
Zhu Zhongjun walked ahead, and Gu Jinzhi followed him.
Xu Qin, the conductor of Jinyiwei, stood at the front, and Tan You followed Xu Qin.
When Gu Jin passed Tan You, his footsteps slowed down slightly.
She lowered her eyes and never raised her eyes.
The slight pause was also very subtle. Except for Tan You, no one found it. Then she continued to move forward.
Even Tan You himself is not sure that Gu Jinzhi's slightly stopped footsteps, whether she did it on purpose or Tan You's own fantasy...
Tan You was respectful and didn't dare to turn his head to look. His mind suddenly flew so far that he couldn't pull back for a long time.
In the Jiaotai Hall, the empress dowager and the emperor had already sat and waited for a long time.
Zhu Zhongjun entered the hall, followed by Gu Jinzhi.
Zhu Zhongjun stands in the east, and Gu Jin stands in the west.
The hall is quiet and silent.
The Empress Dowager had a kind smile on her face, and the emperor also looked happy.
Aunt Cheng held a plate of red dates and dried chestnuts and stood on the right side of Gu Jinzhi.
For the royal wedding, dates and chestnuts need to be presented to the emperor and the empress dowager. Jujube means "early", and chestnut means "gift", which means early gift.
Together with the ceremony and music, Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi knelt down and gave four worships to the empress dowager and the emperor respectively.
After the ceremony, a deacon carried the case in and put it in front of the emperor.
Aunt Cheng gave Gu Jinzhi the "early gift" plate containing red dates and dried chestnuts.
Gu Jinzhi took it, walked to the front of the case, put the morning gift plate on it, and knelt down to worship four times.
At this time, the deacon carried the case forward two more steps.
Zhu Zhongjun led Gu Jinzhi again to pay four bows to the emperor.
In this way, the morning gift is complete.
After giving the morning gift to the emperor, it is the Empress Dowager.
The steps of saluting the empress dowager are the same as those of the emperor.
After the ceremony, Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun withdrew from the Jiaotai Hall one after another.
The Empress Dowager and the emperor also surrendered their seats, drove separately, and left the Jiaotai Hall.
Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi, under the leadership of the chambermaid, returned to the Xilan Hall first.
When the Empress Dowager returned to Kunning Palace, Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi went to Kunning Palace again to salute the Empress Dowager.
Gu Jinzhi gave tea to the Empress Dowager and offered shoes and socks.
The Empress Dowager drank tea happily and gave Gu Jinzhi a gift. It was an exquisite box, very heavy, and it was full of exquisite jewelry.
Gu Jinzhi kowtowed again and thanked him.
After the ceremony, the Empress Dowager asked Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi to sit down.
"...I finally drank Xiaoqi's daughter-in-law's tea." The Empress Dowager smiled and said to Zhu Zhongjun, "Zhongjun will love Xiaoqi in the future, and Xiaoqi will listen to Zhongjun's words in the future."
The Empress Dowager did not have any preaching, just a mother's advice to her child.
Zhu Zhongjun said yes.
Gu Jinzhi also changed his words and called his mother.
After a few gossip, Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi got up and went to the Qianqing Palace.
The emperor is waiting for them.
Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi wore formal clothes for the first time and stood in front of the emperor. Although Zhu Zhongjun is too handsome and a little oppresses Gu Jinzhi's limelight, the two are very suitable in size and temperament, and a pair of beautiful women created by heaven and earth.
The emperor looked at Gu Jinzhi a few times.
She is a little mature with the appearance of nine and four phoenix crowns, not as beautiful as when she was a girl. She can also afford gorgeous makeup.
Looking at the smile on her face, the emperor couldn't help smiling.
After the salute, give a seat.
The emperor told them a few words, and the emperor said to them, "There will be a banquet at the beginning of the afternoon. If the time is not made, you can go back first. It's boring."
There is also a banquet today.
The courtiers should congratulate the king of Luyang, and the women inside and outside have to salute the princess.
Zhu Zhongjun said that he took Gu Jinzhi away from the Qianqing Palace.
When they left, the emperor did not move for a long time.
He carefully recalled Gu Jinzhi's appearance: his eyebrows stretched out, docile and quiet. Fortunately, she is still the happy girl, which makes the emperor a little satisfied.
Since Gu Jinzhi's disappearance, the emperor has thought a lot.
Like Zhu Zhongjun, he is worried about Gu Jinzhi. At that time, he thought that he could accept everything else, as long as Gu Jinzhi was still alive.
As long as she is alive.
Compared with possessing Gu Jinzhi, the emperor wants her to be safe.
When Gu Jinzhi was found, the emperor heard about her situation and thought of a lot of things. At that time, he also felt that Gu Jinzhi was no longer suitable to be the princess of Luyang.
The best way is to withdraw from marriage. This can preserve everyone's s decent face.
If you can withdraw from marriage, how bad is Gu Jinzhi's situation? People's words are terrible. What she bears may crush her to pieces, which undoubtedly ruined her life. Even if she enters the palace, she can't make up for her injury.
She has been hurt once, if she experiences withdrawal again...
A follow-up blow, not to mention a small girl like her, even a mature man can't afford it.
Imaging that she cried helplessly, the emperor felt as uncomfortable as being scratched by something.
He has never had such an emotion, and he was distressed by other people's feelings.
Later, he didn't even ask the Empress Dowager's intention, so he independently sent a book to Gu Jinzhi.
Anyway, Zhong Jun was willing to marry her, and even threatened her with death.
No matter who Gu Jinzhi is with, the emperor only hopes that she will not despair...
The feeling of despair is too difficult.
If a person experiences despair, his mentality will change a lot, and even his personality will change.
The emperor likes Gu Jinzhi's character. He doesn't want her to experience such a cruel thing.
If possible, the emperor would rather bear this cruelty for Gu Jinzhi.
He was in this forbidden palace by himself, and he was unhappy, so he didn't want to pull Gu Jinzhi in and suffer, unless he could make her the queen.
Through this matter, what he thinks most is not to take the opportunity to have her, but to hope that she will be happy, shelter her from the wind and rain, and protect her as much as possible.
The emperor finally understood that his love for Gu Jin was not strong from beginning to end.
He just regards her as an appreciative friend, doesn't he?
The relationship between men and women is not like this.
Love is very selfish.
After thinking about this, the emperor felt happy to see her and Zhu Zhongjun today.
He saw the smile on Gu Jinzhi's face, and the world became a little brighter.
After thinking about it carefully, the emperor was also quite satisfied with himself.
He made the right decision.
I'm sorry for the late update. RS
