Yingque came in and hurriedly called out, then left in a hurry.

Yingyue shook her head and said: "Everyone in the front yard is urging His Highness the Crown Prince to compose poems for makeup. Master Shiiyun started talking to Chang Ji, saying that even though he is the Crown Prince, there can be no exceptions and he should do the poems he should write. There was no need to say anything less than praise for the girl. Later, Governor Liu, Eunuch Qixin, and His Highness's former colleagues in the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate also started to make noises, and that girl Ying Que loved to join in the fun. Rong Shu lowered his eyes and smiled: "Let her go. It's rare

that it's so lively today. She must be very happy."

In the previous life, when Gu Changjin came to Cheng'an Marquis Mansion to welcome the bride, the Marquis Mansion disapproved of the marriage. The atmosphere here is deserted, where is the excitement today?

Later, when we went to Wutong Lane, Yingque felt annoyed. She felt that her girl had only been married once in her life, so why was she so deserted?

Yingque is probably satisfied with the noisy scene today.

Rong Shu's mentality at this time is also different from before. The people here to see her off today are all her close relatives and close friends.

There was no longer any uneasiness in her heart, but a kind of wholehearted trust and longing. All the uncertainties about the future that she had as a newlywed in her previous life had dissipated along with her unsatisfactory past life.

In this life from now on, Gu Yunzhi will not let her down, and she will not let him down.

Half an hour later, seeing the commotion outside, Nanny Gui hesitated and discussed with Rong Shu: "The prince went to the palace early this morning to perform three kneels and nine kowtows with the emperor and the queen to welcome the bride. He also went to hunt the wild geese himself, and he has to be busy until midnight tonight. Since he has already written more than ten poems to encourage people to make up, he thinks it’s time to let people in. When

Grandma Gui said this, she couldn’t help but feel a little upset. .

The wedding ceremony of the Crown Princess is customary to be solemn and solemn. After the bow ceremony, the wild goose salute is performed. After the Crown Princess bids farewell, the Crown Princess can be invited to come to the wedding hall.

The majestic Prince Dayin, why do you need to write a makeup poem?

It's so noisy, what does it look like? It's just nonsense!

Aunt Gui then thought about it and said, "If we continue to make trouble, I'm afraid it will delay the auspicious moment."

When she mentioned that it would delay the auspicious moment, Shen Yizhen immediately stopped and did not wait for Rong Shu to say anything. , Wu Zi took the words, and said in a hurry: "I'll go out and talk to them right now!"

Aunt Gui stared at Shen Yizhen's back for a moment, then immediately followed up, and went to rescue Gu Changjin with Shen Yizhen.

In this way, this noble prince finally entered the inner courtyard smoothly.

When Shen Yizhen came back, she was accompanied by Rong Ze. He was wearing a very festive indigo brocade robe embroidered with magpie branches. He looked a little thinner, but he was in excellent spirits.

Shen Yizhen stepped forward to straighten the Nine-Tree Phoenix Crown on Rong Shu's head, and said, "Yunzhi is waiting. Let your brother lead you out."

When she said this, her voice choked slightly. , just like when Rong Shu got married from the Hou Mansion two years ago, his eyes turned red quietly.

Rong Shu responded "Okay" with red eyes.

"Zhaozhao, brother will send you out."

Rong Ze stepped forward and raised his arm, letting Rong Shu take his arm, supporting her, walking out step by step, saying as he walked: "Brother sent you off twice, twice. You married the same person every time, and I don’t want to marry you a third time.”

Rong Shu laughed and said, “I’ll try not to marry you a third time.”

Shen Yizhen spat after hearing this. "You're talking nonsense again!" But he couldn't help but laugh.

Rong Ze walked to the inner courtyard and stopped.

Shen Yizhen put an apple into Rong Shu's hand and said with red eyes: "Go."

Rong Shu raised his eyes slightly, looked at the handsome man in front of him, and walked slowly away.

She was wearing a bright red wedding gown with colorful embroidery of dragons and phoenixes, with flowers and trees swaying on the phoenix crown, and pearls and jade flowers shining brightly, which made her bright and beautiful face appear graceful and luxurious.

Gu Changjin stared at her and slowly stretched out his hand towards her, asking his wife to come back.

The two of them clasped their fingers together and slowly walked out the door.

Today, there are indeed many civil and military officials coming with the prince to welcome the bride. The leader is the Minister of Rites, followed by a group of officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, and then hundreds of Han generals from Luan Yiwei to welcome the bride. Behind the picker was a mighty group of guards escorting the bride price.

Such a large group of people, all in high spirits, with big red silk flowers tied around their bodies, is really festive and well-organized.

Rong Shu was helped by Gu Changjin onto a chariot with hundreds of birds and phoenixes engraved on it. The wheels of the cart turned slowly. She sat upright inside, listening to the sound of gongs and drums, and the sound of firecrackers falling, her eyes half-casting. Redder.

But she kept in mind Aunt Gui's instructions not to shed tears, for fear of being unlucky, and for fear of ruining the makeup she had put on her face for several hours.

Rong Su calmed down and finally suppressed the tears. Sensing

Rong Shu's mood swings, Aunt Gui smiled softly and said, "The Crown Princess will be back in three days. From now on, you will live in the East Palace. If you miss Madam Shen, you can send her to the East Palace to meet her at any time."

Seeing the relief in Aunt Gui's words, Rong Shu gently nodded and said, "Thank you, Auntie."

Hearing this, Aunt Gui felt sour in her heart.

As he tried to persuade Rong Shu, his eyes turned red unknowingly. Twenty years ago, in the small Buddhist hall of Daci'en Temple, she was the first person to hold the baby when she was born.

Now the two of them are like strangers, which shouldn't be like this.

Baiguan and Luan Yiwei opened the way. The road from Mingluyuan to the city gate could not be smoother. Caiyu traveled on the clean road without even a bump.

At this time, inside the city gate, countless people were standing on both sides of the road, looking out of the city gate like autumn water.

At four o'clock in the morning, the sound of horse hooves was like the muffled thunder on the eve of a rainstorm, approaching from far away and gradually approaching the city gate.

There were Jinwu guards guarding the road from the city gate to the East Palace. When the common people saw these Jinwu guards wearing phoenix-winged helmets with solemn expressions and holding sabers in their hands, they did not dare to make any mistakes. They stood on both sides honestly and looked up. .

When they caught a glimpse of the handsome man wearing a bright red crown with nine chapters, they couldn't help but shout in unison -

"Congratulations to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess on their wedding!"

"I wish the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess a happy marriage and a long life together! "

The congratulations from the people came from all around like overlapping waves. Rong Shu sat in the wedding carriage, her heart surging inexplicably.

The huge procession to welcome the bride arrived at the gate of the East Palace and stopped in an orderly manner.

The palace people put up the curtain, and Rong Shu slowly got off the wedding carriage with the support of Mr. Zhu and Aunt Gui. He immediately replaced the apple in his hand with a vase, stepped over the brazier and saddle with Gu Changjin, and headed to the Zichen Palace step by step.

When they arrived at the main hall of Zichen Hall, they ate the same prison meal, performed the marriage ceremony, and finally had their hair cut and were married.

At this point, the ceremony between the prince and the princess was completed.

Rong Shu was sent to the inner palace, while Gu Changjin was left in the middle hall of the east palace to entertain officials.

In the hall, cups were exchanged for cups, glasses of wine were exchanged, and the loud noises made the autumn insects on the trees stop chirping.

The phoenix crown on her head was too heavy, and Rong Shu's neck was already extremely sore. He couldn't help but look at Aunt Gui and said, "Auntie, maybe this phoenix crown has been taken off?"

According to the wedding etiquette in the palace, this phoenix crown has to wait until the front. After the banquet, when the prince returned to the palace to consummate the marriage, the prince personally took it off for her.

But right now the prince was having a banquet in the middle hall and couldn't get out of it, and he wasn't sure when he would be back.

The phoenix crown was studded with pearls and emeralds and was very heavy. Rong Shu had been wearing it for most of the day. How could he not be tired?

It is said that Aunt Gui is the eldest nanny of Kunning Palace. The reason why she was ordered to welcome the bride today is to keep an eye on the words and deeds of the Crown Princess and make sure that she does not go beyond the rules.

At this moment, she looked at the little girl's eyes that were exactly the same as the Queen's. How could she be willing to let this child suffer?

So he didn't care whether it was appropriate or not, and gritted his teeth and said, "Old slave, take it off for you."

After taking off the phoenix crown, he saw that she was suffocated by a complicated and heavy Jifu and her forehead was sweating slightly. Thinking that if there is one, there are two, so she simply Arrange people to collect water from the soup pool in the clean room so that Rong Shu can bathe.

After Rong Shu had taken a bath, he was afraid that the child would be hungry, so he thought there would be three if there were two, so he didn't bother to wait for the prince to come back, so he sent someone to bring him food, and Rong Shu had a comfortable meal.

In order to return early, Gu Changjin almost refused to accept the toasts offered by others.

After drinking a lot of yellow soup and returning to the Zichen Palace, he saw the girl he had longed for sitting on the imperial concubine's couch in a relaxed mood, flipping through a book leisurely.

On one side, Aunt Gui was making her a sweet-scented osmanthus drink, while Yingyue and Yingque were spreading rose jam on her cheese.

It's so comfortable.

Catching a glimpse of his figure, Aunt Gui smiled and asked, "Your Highness, do you want to go back to the central hall for the banquet?"

Gu Changjin's cold white face was turned crimson by the alcohol. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "The banquet has ended. I have to work with you today. Let's go and have a rest."

Aunt Gui also knew that she should not disturb the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess at this time, but the Crown Princess had not tasted the sweet-scented osmanthus drink she had made. The Queen The empress loves the tea and fragrant drinks she brews the most.

Just as she was about to speak, there was a sudden movement in her hand. Rong Shu had already taken the white jade cup in her hand, lowered her head and took a sip, and said, "It tastes good. Thank you, mama."

Aunt Gui took care of her, and Rong Shu How come you don’t understand?

So I said "thank you" sincerely.

The old grandma is quite old. In order to act as a deterrent, she is also a fierce presence in Kunning Palace. She didn't expect that the little lady's delicate words would make her heart melt into a puddle of water.

"If you like it, come to Kunning Palace tomorrow and I will do it for you." She responded kindly, then glanced at Yingyue and Yingque, put away the smile on her face, and said solemnly: "You two Follow me outside."

Yingyue and Yingque were particularly frightened of Aunt Gui, so as soon as the old Auntie spoke, they became two quails and followed Aunt Gui out of the house in a polite manner.

Rong Shu couldn't help laughing.

Gu Changjin stepped forward, pulled her into his arms, and said, "You are having a good time in Zichen Palace."

He had eaten a lot of wine, and his voice was tainted with alcohol, making it much hoarse than usual.

Rong Shu sniffed at his neck and said, "You smell of alcohol, but you drank a lot of wine?"

Gu Changjin said "hmm", looked at the white mist of the clean room, and said: " Just take a shower and you'll be fine." He took her hand and walked to the clean room.

Rong Shu looked at him: "I've already washed it."

Gu Changjin responded without looking back: "I know."

The sound of the man's wine-soaked voice made Rong Shu's ears gradually heat up.

Putting down the curtain of the clean room, Gu Changjin held Rong Shu's hand and slowly untied his cumbersome Jifu. His body after drinking wine was hotter than usual, and his calloused hands were even hotter. Rong Shu A layer of wet sweat slowly formed on the palms of his hands.

Rong Shu was carried into the soup pool with his clothes on.

The autumn clothes were thin, and when the warm water came up, the outer clothes on her body suddenly became translucent, and even the pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water on the dark purple jacket was clearly visible.

Gu Changjin raised his hand and gently rubbed the pair of mandarin duck eyes on his pocket.

Rong Shu took a breath.

The two fell in love for the first time and then separated due to their own affairs. They have not seen each other for almost five months. Today is their wedding day, so their longing and longing for each other are like dry wood meeting a fierce fire. .

At this moment, Gu Changjin's rubbing between his fingers dropped even more oil into the fire.

The movements of his hands were unhurried, but his breathing became more and more rapid.

Rong Shu couldn't help but scold him and said, "Hurry up!"

From the moment he led her to the soup pool, she knew what this man was up to.

Gu Changjin smiled softly, lowered his head and kissed her.

The water in the soup pool rose and fell, and Rong Shu clung to the wall of the pool tiredly, his eyes filled with splashes of water.

It is said that a long separation is better than a newlywed, and she will now deeply understand the true meaning of this statement.

When Gu Changjin carried her out of the clean room, water was dripping from Rong Shu's hair.

She glanced over at the corner.

An hour, a whole hour...

When he entered the room, she was the one who felt refreshed. Now when he came out of the clean room, it was he who felt refreshed.

Seeing that she was really tired, Gu Changjin took the handkerchief and twisted her hair and said, "I'll bring up the fumigation cage. If you're tired, sleep next to the fumigation cage."

Rong Shu hummed lazily. .

As soon as Gu Changjin brought the smoker, she lay on the smoker and closed her eyes, letting him twist her hair.

In a daze, I suddenly heard several thunderous sounds of "bang", "bang" and "bang" coming from Nanzhimen, and I felt energetic for a moment.

Gu Changjin saw that she was just sweeping her tail. When he heard the movement outside, he straightened up, listened with his ears raised, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

He pulled off a large cloak and wrapped it around her, picked her up and walked to the window.

As soon as the window was opened, bunches of firelight rushed up to the dome, and fireworks bloomed in the dark night.

This was fireworks being set off in the palace, but Dayin never set off fireworks on the Moon Mother's Day, and could only set off fireworks to celebrate the prince's wedding.

Rong Shu subconsciously looked at Gu Changjin: "Is this arranged by you?"

Gu Changjin shook his head: "No, it should be arranged by the emperor and queen."

Rong Shu fell silent and looked at the fireworks illuminated without saying a word night sky.

After a while, she said: "Today there are lantern riddles to guess in the Star Building."

At first, she met Gu Changjin in the Star Building to escape the rain.

Gu Changjin lowered his eyes at the girl in his arms and said, "Want to go?"

Rong Shu said "hmm".

Gu Changjin smiled and said, "Aren't you tired?"

Rong Shu glanced at him and said, "You have to go even if you are tired. This time, I will definitely catch up with you, guess all the lantern riddles, and win this year's lantern riddles." Picking up star lanterns."

Seeing that she really wanted to go, Gu Changjin nodded and said, "I'll take you there."

Half an hour later, a gray carriage with a green cover drove out from the East Palace and headed straight for it. Go to the Star Reaching Tower.

There are so many people in Zhaixing Tower that they form a curtain.

Gu Changjin and Rong Shu got off the carriage, one entered from the east building and the other from the west building, and squeezed into the group of people who were guessing lantern riddles.

As usual, the higher you go up, the harder it becomes to solve the lantern riddles in the Star Picking Tower. When you reach the seventh floor, there are only a few people left on the corridor.

When we reached the ninth floor, we couldn't even find anyone.

Rong Shu took the lead in picking up the last lantern riddle and wrote down the answer. At this moment, Gu Changjin also arrived, holding the last lantern riddle in his hand.

Rong Shu hurriedly handed the note to the old shopkeeper of the Star Picking Tower, and immediately looked back and smiled at him, as if he was saying: Gu Yunzhi, this year's Star Picking Lantern belongs to me.

Gu Changjin put down his hand and didn't even look at what the last riddle was about. He just looked at her and smiled lightly.

The old shopkeeper held the answer handed over by Rong Shu in his hand, but looked straight at the man and woman in front of him.

He is getting older and has rarely come out to take care of the Star-Zhaing Tower in the past few years. He only comes here during festivals such as the Moon Mother's Day and the Lantern Festival to wait for the destined person who can win the Star-Zhaining Lantern.

On the Moon Mother's Day the year before last, it was this husband who guessed all the lantern riddles correctly and gave the star lantern from their Star Picking Tower to the girl.

The appearance of the two of them was so outstanding that the old shopkeeper remembered them all the time.

"It's you again this year! You two are really destined!"

The old shopkeeper stroked his gray beard with a smile, then spread out the paper in his hand and squinted his eyes to read the answers written by Rong Shu.

After a moment, he said with a smile: "Young lady, I'll get you a lamp right now!"

"Thank you, shopkeeper."

Although the old shopkeeper was old, he was strong and strong. After a while, he held up an ingenious glass lamp. come out.

Rong Shu thanked him again, and walked to Gu Changjin with the star-picking lantern in his hands with satisfaction.

This year's star-picking lantern is a little different from the one Gu Changjin gave her. It not only has bright stars, but also a moon like a lotus seed, which looks even more beautiful.

Rong Shu handed the lamp to Gu Changjin and said with a smile: "Chen Shu, give me back a lamp."

Her fate with him began with a star-catching lantern.

Every star-catching lantern in the Star-catching Tower is unique. The star-catching lantern that was once broken can never be found again.

But it doesn't matter, she now has another star-catching lantern.

And her fate with him also continued.

From then on, he and her had a life-and-death bond, and they talked to each other, and they would never be separated from each other in all their lives.
