Chapter 304 Marriage
Changsun Yun sighed, buried his head in Xia Mengning's neck, and whispered, "I'm sorry, Ning'er, it's my fault. Ting Lan has been with me since I was a child. She is a daughter of my father. After my father died, she was kept by my father and raised by my side. In fact, everyone in the house knows it. She is not a girl. I can let her serve by my side. It's only because my father told me to do anything else. Ning'er, I don't want to hide it from you. It's just that I didn't expect Ting Lan to have such a thought, so I didn't kick her out early. Now I've locked her in the violent room, and I'll chase her away tomorrow. Don't see her either, okay?"
After Changsun Yun finished speaking, Xia Mengning listened quietly, and the uncomfortable breath in her heart was also relieved a lot. For a person like Changsun Yun who was a little numb to his feelings, he may not feel Tinglan's careful thoughts. In fact, Xia Mengning did not blame Changsun Yun. She just felt that this matter was quite moldy, so there was nowhere to spread it. Qi can only carry out a cold war against Changsun Yun.
But Xia Mengning is not stupid. She is not a petty woman. There is no need to let Changsun Yun bear other people's mistakes, and there is no need to affect her and Changsun Yun's hard-won marriage for a girl who can't jump for a long time.
Xia Mengning combed her emotions in her heart, then turned around and looked at Chang Sun Yun softly. Her full red diamond lips pouted slightly. "That's what you said. Then you should treat me well in the future, especially in front of others, so as not to make me feel wronged like today."
Changsun Yun lowered his head and saw Xia Mengning's little jade-white face in front of him. His big eyes were looking at him softly. Changsun Yun's heart moved, nodded, and leaned over to kiss Xia Mengning's cherry lips, "I promise!"
After Xia Mengning bathed, she only wore a light pink underwear. When she turned around just now, she was pulled open a large gap in the neckline, revealing a large snow-white neck.
Chang Sun Yun couldn't help but stroked Xia Meng's satin-like smooth hair with his big hand, and his lips were on her cheek, "You are so fragrant..."
Changsun Yun drank wine, and the fragrance of the wine mixed with the fragrance after the bath just passed to the tip of Xia Mengning's nose, which made Xia Mengning a little emotional.
Xia Mengning's cheeks were red, and she felt a layer of fine sweat on her body. The originally dry clothes also stuck to her body, which was a little uncomfortable.
Xia Mengning couldn't help twisting her body a few times and unconsciously shouted, "You get out of the way, I'm going to change my clothes..."
These words like an aphrodisiac made Changsun Yun suddenly release the desire he was going to suppress. He reached out and stroked Xia Mengning's cheek, and the hot kiss was imprinted on Xia Mengning's neck.
A room is a room. When Xia Mengning opened her eyes the next day, she only felt extremely sore all over her body, and she didn't even have the strength to lift her arm.
A warm voice came from the top of his head, "Wake up?"
Xia Mengning hurriedly looked up and saw that Changsun Yun was leaning on **, holding her body in one hand and tapping the tip of her nose with the other hand, "How did you sleep well?"
Xia Mengning remembered what happened last night. She was a little embarrassed. She hurriedly sat up and said, "I have to go to toast tea in the morning. Let's get up quickly."
Changsun Yun was very happy when he saw Xia Mengning's rare shy appearance. He moved forward and took all the petite her into his arms.
Her chin rested on the top of her head, and Changsun Yun said softly, "Ning'er, it's good to have you."
Xia Mengning closed her eyes and felt very happy in her heart. She turned around, hugged Changsun Yun, buried her head in his arms, and whispered, "Me too. It's good to have you."
It was supposed to be Zhulian and Jiuer who came in to dress Xia Mengning, but Changsun Yun did it by himself to water Xia Mengning and helped her dress her. After doing this, the sky was just dawn.
Changsun Yun stretched out his hand to put on the jade shake of gold for Xia Mengning and said, "I'm going to go to the palace to thank you later. Do you want to have some breakfast first? It's still early."
Xia Mengning nodded, "It's up to you."
Jiu'er looked aside, and she was surprised and happy. What was happy was that Changsun Yun and Xia Mengning had a good relationship and was not affected by what happened last night. What surprised her was that Xia Mengning was docile now. Jiu'er couldn't help looking at it a few more, secretly covered her mouth and smiled.
As Sister Zhulian said, if the young lady can get along well with the prince, it's better than anything else.
Several girls in Xingyuntang served breakfast. Changsun Yun and Xia Mengning sat down at the table. At this time, they heard a fierce quarrel outside the door. Xia Mengning frowned and looked at Changsun Yun, "What's going on?"
At this time, Jiu'er came in and said, "Princess, the princess, the girl who stopped us last night came and clamored to come in to see the prince."
Hearing this, Xia Mengning said a faint 'oh', and continued to lower her head to eat the snack in front of her. Changsun Yun frowned, "Let her in."
When Ting Lan came in, she saw Changsun Yun carefully putting snacks on the plate for Xia Mengning. That kind of tenderness made Ting Lan's eyes red. How could it be? How could such gentle affection appear on Changsun Yun's face? Ting Lan unwillingly bit her lips and knelt down on the ground with a 'plop' and cried. He said, "The prince spared his life. Ting Lan was confused by lard for a moment, which offended the prince's concubine and begged the prince to forgive Tinglan. Tinglan will never dare to do it again."
Xia Mengning didn't say anything, but Chang Sun Yun said seriously, "Now Yuntang is the master of the princess. In the future, everything will be said by the princess. In a while, I will accompany the concubine to the palace to thank you. You can go to your father first. In the future, this Xingyuntang does not need you to serve."
Ting Lan was dumbfounded by Changsun Yun's words. She didn't expect Changsun Yun to drive her away. How could this be? She has been with Changsun Yun for so long. How can she leave?
Ting Lan looked at Xia Mengning, who was still silent, and had a resentment in her heart, but she did not dare to conflict with Xia Mengning head-on. She had to pretend to be sensibly and kneel at Xia Mengning's feet and begged for mercy. "You have a lot of concubines, so please forgive Ting Lan this time. Tinglan is willing to do it for you in the future. Be an ox and a horse, and I will never offend you again.
Xia Mengning frowned, but when she looked up, she pretended to be innocent and snuggled up to Changsun Yun. She blinked her big eyes and said, "Sir, I just arrived at the house. I really don't understand this. Why don't we let her wait here first? Why don't we talk about it in the long time when we come back?"
Changsun Yun turned his head and saw Xia Mengning looking at him with a soft look. He was indescribably charming. Changsun Yun's throat tightened, stretched out his hand to tie Xia Mengning's hair, and nodded with a smile, "You can do whatever you want."
Xia Mengning smiled cunningly, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said, "Then let's go now. Let Ting Lan still kneel here and wait."
Changsun Yun stretched out his hand and clenched his fist and coughed gently on his lips. He knew that Xia Mengning would not suff, but as long as his little wife could be happy, he let her go.
Changsun Yun also stood up, picked up the cloak beside him and put it on Xia Mengning. He said, "You just kneel here and wait until we come back."
Ting Lan said 'ah' and looked at Changsun Yun for help, but Changsun Yun didn't seem to see her at all. He put his arms around Xia Mengning's shoulder and turned his head and went out.
Ting Lan knelt down and moved forward a few times, and then heard Chang Sun Yun say to the two bodyguards outside, "You two are watching here. I won't allow her to get up before I come back."
"Yes!"
Ting Lan wanted to cry without tears. Xia Mengning knelt down and made it clear that she wanted to punish herself, but why couldn't Changsun Yun see it, no! Maybe he saw it, but he didn't help himself.
Ting Lan felt sad in her heart. She knelt on the ground silently and burst into tears.
At the gate of the royal palace, Xia Mengning was helped into the carriage by Changsun Yun. Both of them sat in the carriage. Xia Mengning tilted her head and said, "You indulge me like this. What if the prince is not happy?"
Changsun Yun smiled and said, "It's good for my father. It's just a girl. If it doesn't work, you can send it out directly with a mother-in-law's family. The most important thing is not to make my little wife jealous."
Xia Mengning's cheeks suddenly turned red. She stretched out her hand and pushed Chang Sun Yun, "Nonsense, who is jealous? I just care about your face. If it's in the prime minister's house, I don't need to care about anything else. I've already slapped her!"
Changsun Yun smiled, stretched out his hand to tidy up Xia Mengning's hair, and said, "Okay, okay, I know you're awesome. Now you can see my heart. I have a heart for you."
Xia Mengning tilted her head and leaned against Changsun Yun's arms. She didn't say anything. She didn't know whether her happy life was really coming. If this royal palace was another deep pool, could she still live a stable and peaceful life?
Before I had time to think carefully, the carriage had already driven into the palace gate and slowly stopped.
Changsun Yun jumped out of the carriage first and helped Xia Mengning down. It was Su Pu, who was waiting beside Changsun Han. Seeing Changsun Yun and Xia Mengning, Su Pu hurriedly bowed, "I just met the prince and the concubine of the prince and said to the concubine of the prince. The emperor had already been in the Ciyuan Hall with the empress, just waiting for the two. It's done."
Xia Mengning smiled slightly, "I'm sorry to bother Mr. Su."
Su Pu repeatedly said 'I dare not' and led the two sideways into the Ciyuan Hall.
In the hall, Changsun Han was sitting on the couch, and the queen Zheng Yuxiu was sitting on the other side. Changsun Yun and Xia Mengning stepped forward and knelt down in front of them. First, they thanked him, and then received the tea handed over by the maid of honor.
Changsun Han looked at the appearance of the two, was sincerely happy, and gave Su Pu a look. Su Pu hurriedly picked up a box and came over. Chang Sunhan took the box and said, "This is a rare thousand-year pearl in the East China Sea. The color and size are almost the same, a total of eight. Today, I would like to congratulate you on your wedding."
Xia Mengning kowtowed hurriedly, "Thank you, your Majesty!"
Changsun Han touched the beard on his chin and smiled and said, "If you are married to Yun'er, it's time to change your words. Call your uncle to listen."
Xia Mengning was slightly stunned, but then said calmly, "Thank you, uncle."
Changsun Han was very happy and said repeatedly, "Okay, okay, you must remember to stick to yourself and take good care of Yun'er in the future."
Xia Mengning nodded, and Zheng Yuxiu here also took out his own gifts. The left is just some gifts that can neither lose decent nor too expensive.
Xia Mengning and Changsun Yun thanked them for their kindness. Then they stood up and walked to the side and sat down. Zheng Yuxiu looked at Xia Mengning and Changsun Yun, and said to Changsun Han with a smile, "Your Majesty, I look at the prince and the princess who are really a perfect pair of people, but it reminds me of Ye for no reason. My Lord, three days later, it will be On the day of sacrificing the ancestors, my concubine has a merciless invitation. I want to ask the emperor to pardon Ye'er, so that Ye'er can return to sacrifice to the ancestors and accompany my concubine for a few days to relieve the bitterness of my concubine's lovesickness.
Changsun Han frowned, "The queen, don't spoil the fun on the day of great joy."
Zheng Yuxiu took a veil and pointed the corners of her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I also miss Ye'er. To be honest, I can't sleep well these days and night. I really miss Ye'er. I know that Ye'er has committed a big crime. I don't ask the emperor to forgive Ye'er, but only ask the emperor to allow Ye'er to stay with my concubine for a few more days..."
Changsun Han frowned and didn't say anything. Xia Mengning sat aside and knew that it was specially arranged by Zheng Yuxiu today. She and Changsun Yun were both here. Zheng Yuxiu raised this matter. It was not easy for both of them not to talk.
Xia Mengning was thinking about how to take Zheng Yuxiu's stubble when she heard Changsun Yun say, "Uncle, what the queen said is extremely true. It's reasonable to let the prince come back with this name."
Zheng Yuxiu smiled. She has calculated that Changsun Yun will definitely come forward to speak. If Changsun Yun doesn't help, it will not be so easy for them to leave the palace.
Changsun Han nodded, "Okay, it's up to you. You go ahead and prepare for this matter. I still have a fold to approve, so I won't keep it."
With that, Changsun Han stood up and walked out. Su Pu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, get up!"
"Congratulations to the emperor!"
After going out of Ciyuan Hall with Changsun Yun, Xia Mengning felt a little weak. Changsun Yun noticed her strangeness and turned his head and said, "What's the matter? Are you tired?"
Xia Mengning shook her head with a smile and sighed, "I just feel that this kind of life is very helpless and I don't want to participate in things. Because of your identity, I have to participate, but if I participate, I can't get rid of it easily."
Changsun Yun saw Xia Mengning's slightly drooping face when he spoke, and he felt a little distressed. He reached out and put his hand around Xia Mengning's shoulder and said softly, "Ning'er, if you don't like it, I can take you away. We go far away from these are right and wrong."
Xia Mengning smiled and said, "I don't want to think about it, but now is not the right time. I know that there must be a lot of agreements between you and the emperor. Otherwise, how can I be the only one for you? Changsun Yun, I'm not afraid of right and wrong or fighting. I just hope that you can always be the person I can rely on and trust. That's enough."
After Xia Mengning finished speaking, she looked up at Chang Sun Yun, as if in the blink of an eye, and she became his wife. Recalling the little things before the two, Xia Mengning only felt particularly relieved. It was not in her life for Xia Mengning to meet someone like this.
At this time, a little eunuch came over and knelt down from afar and saluted, "I have seen the prince, and the emperor asked me to come and pass on to the study."
Changsun Yun nodded and turned to Xia Mengning and said, "Just wait for me here. I'll be back soon."
Xia Mengning nodded with a smile, "Go ahead."
Xia Mengning stood on the wall, and the early morning breeze gently blew her cloak belt. Jiu'er closed her skirt behind her and said with concern, "Prince, it's getting cold. Let's go and sit inside."
Xia Mengning shook her head, "Blowing the cold wind can refresh people. Jiuer, if you feel cold, go ahead and sit down."
Jiu'er shook her head, stood beside Xia Mengning and said, "Miss, are you unhappy?"
She called the young lady, not the imperial concubine. Xia Mengning turned her head and looked at Jiu'er and said, "You are very careful. In fact, I can feel that there will be no less things in the royal palace than in the prime minister's mansion. I used to be very sure that Changsun Yun's heart was firmly grasped by me, but now, in just one night. Suddenly, I was not so sure. I didn't know the reason, but I was panicked. I was afraid... Really, Jiu'er... What should I do?"
Xia Mengning looked at the sun that had just risen in the distance and said word by word. Her eyes were confused and helpless. Jiu'er shook her head and said, "Miss, you often tell me that you don't have to worry about the sky, but why can't you think about it? I know that you are doing something for the girl last night, maybe it's because of this. The girl thought of something else.
Xia Mengning did not make a sound, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, sprinkled a little golden light.
Jiu'er smiled and said, "Miss, a few days ago, the prince came to find the maidservant and Sister Zhulian."
Xia Mengning was stunned and then turned around, "What?"
Jiu'er smiled and said, "In fact, a long time ago, the prince came to the slaves several times and asked about whether the young lady is in good health recently or what the young lady likes. Therefore, sometimes the young lady likes something for a period of time, and you will find that these things suddenly become more. That's not The credit of the maidservant."
Jiu'er said and continued, "That time the young lady visited the palace at night, the prince got up and chased after you left. After you came back, the prince also followed until dawn the next day. Miss, since you were rescued and treated by the king of the Western Regions, the prince dragged a hand that was almost useless. I waited for you at the gate for several days without eating or drinking. I fainted in the bamboo garden several times before. After this time, Wu Qing also said that the prince has changed. He will follow you in everything you, almost inseparable, just a distance that you can't notice. Miss, how can I know anything? It's a man like the prince. It's really unquestionable that he treats you sincerely.
After listening to Jiu'er's words, Xia Mengning felt sad. She didn't expect that Changsun Yun had done so many things for her. It turned out that he was not slow to be emotional, but his love was very deep, so he had been ignoring it for so long.
Xia Mengning smiled, "Thank you, Jiuer. I'm confused. I didn't see it clearly."
Jiu'er smiled and said, "It's best if the young lady can understand. I only think that the young lady can be happy. I don't know anything else."
