The auspicious time has come.
Wu Yanqiu walked over slowly, holding one end of the wedding silk, and Yang Jinyao followed him. The two walked to the center of the wedding hall and stood still. The laughter and joy of all the guests gradually subsided at this time.
The master shouted: "Worship the heaven and earth."
Wu Yanqiu turned around and looked outside. The mother hurriedly stepped forward and helped the bride turn around. The two of them knelt down to the vast world outside and bowed.
He stood up and stood still, and the celebrant shouted again: "Two visits to the high hall."
The two of them slowly turned around and knelt down at Master Chang who was sitting in front of them, and bowed.
At this moment, a warm smile appeared on Bai's dark and steady face, and he couldn't help but smile and nodded to the couple in front of him.
Then, Wu Yanqiu stood up, and the mom also helped Yang Jinyao to get up. The two of them slowly turned around to face it. The emcee shouted again: "Goodbye to each other!"
Yang Jinyao bent down and bowed deeply.
Wu Yanqiu looked at the person in front of him, and a look of uncertainty of being at a loss or a confused look flashed in his eyes. He listened to the applause and cry around him, but he slowly bent down and worshiped his bride.
The emcee said with the last voice: "The courtesy is completed! Send it to the bridal chamber!"
When I heard this, I could almost feel the bride who was standing quietly in the middle of the wedding hall with her veil covering her head and swaying slightly, almost jumping up. Fortunately, the wedding girl next to me was holding her and thinking she was about to fall, so I hurriedly comforted her: "Don't be afraid, bride, don't be afraid."
After saying that, he gently helped her forward and took a few steps.
Facing the joking smiles of the guests around him, Wu Yanqiu said nothing, but smiled and held the cheerful silk in his hand, leading his bride to the back.
This time, the wedding hall became completely lively.
After a couple entered the bridal chamber, the banquet in front was set up. Naturally, as the Grand Tutor of the High Court, the Wu family's housekeeper, invited all the guests to the table, and then walked carefully to Yang Jinqiao who was sitting there, and lowered his head and said, "Please Concubine Ning to the table."
Yang Jinqiao's eyes were still looking at the place where the newcomer had disappeared. The blushing curtain kept shaking. She came to her senses, with a smile on the corner of her lips, but when she saw the people around her, the smile on her face slowly calmed down.
She waved her hand: "I will return to the palace after watching the ceremony. I will give up this seat."
"That--"
She stood up and walked slowly to me, saying, "Before leaving, I have something to say to Miss Yan."
I was not surprised and lowered my head slightly.
Yang Jinqiao looked around again. Although the guests had already entered the banquet, some people looked here intentionally or unintentionally. She said, "Let's go and talk later."
"yes."
After saying that, she turned around and I walked out with her.
The butler didn't dare to talk too much, so he hurriedly lowered his hands and retreated, and even greeted several servants around him, probably to greet them, asking them not to come over and disturb Concubine Ning and me.
The two of them walked out through the side door and slowly walked along the corridor.
I was quiet, but I was always a little uneasy in my heart. But I walked half a step behind her and couldn't see what Yang Jinqiao was looking like at this moment, so I didn't dare to speak up easily.
The two of them had been walking for a while. I guessed that the emperor didn't have much time to leave the palace to watch the ceremony. If we delayed it, it would delay her returning to the palace. Finally, when we reached the end of the corridor, she turned her head and looked at me and said, "You are also in Taimiao that day, right?"
I was stunned for a moment.
Although I knew that with her intelligence, I could guess some clues, but I didn't expect that her first sentence would come to ask me, which made me feel a little at a loss for a moment. In response to my panicked eyes, she was already aware of everything and nodded gently: "You are indeed there."
“…”
"I also guessed that His Majesty the Emperor could not be alone in that cold apse. It turns out that he is with you."
“…”
"Are you discussing my business?"
I was silent for a moment, but still knelt down gently: "Concubine Ning forgives the crime."
She didn't say anything, and looked at me from a high place for a while. I could hear the bustling scene outside the wall, and the two of hers and I were so quiet that they could even hear each other's heartbeats clearly.
But I don't know how she will treat me.
Although it was not me who actually plotted her into the palace, and I didn’t have that energy, indeed, from the bottom of my heart, what I expected more was the current situation. Now that she has become the Empress Ning Concubine, how she would view this matter and how she would treat me was all in her thoughts.
The two of them were silent and facing each other. I don’t know how long it took, but I heard her sigh.
"never mind."
“…”
I looked up at her and saw the delicate makeup and look particularly dignified face. She looked down at me, and her eyes also seemed to lose the sharpness and firmness of the past. She said calmly: "Actually, this ending is also something I like."
“…”
"But, I can't make that decision."
“…”
"Now, you, the emperor, and the queen have helped me make this decision - it's actually good."
“…”
"At least, Jin Yao can still be happy."
I hesitated and said, "Empress Ning——"
"You need to say nothing," she raised her hand gently, stopped me, looked into the distance, and said with a little confused: "I can't really never see the light in my life. Over the years, I have also understood that there are some things that I can't do alone."
“…”
"Maybe, if you come back to him earlier, there will be something that will be much easier."
As she said that, she lowered her head and looked at me with a look of joy or anger: "Thank you."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! I feel ashamed of her and didn't answer this at this time.
The two of them were silent for a while, but she still said, "Now I have entered the palace, and I can't interfere in some things outside the palace. It's rare that Jin Yao likes you so much and recognizes you as her sister, so you should do your best."
I whispered, "Yes."
After saying that, she glanced at me again and turned around and wanted to leave.
Just as she had just taken a few steps, I suddenly thought of something in my mind and hurriedly turned around: "Empress Ning."
She stopped.
"I heard that the Empress told me before entering the palace that she had something to hand over to me."
“…”
"But these days, I wait every day, but the Empress's people have not come again."
“…”
"It's rare to meet the Empress again today. I wonder if that thing - the Empress is going to hand it over to me with her own hands."
She stood in the middle of the corridor, and the brocade robe behind her was dragged to the ground, reflecting the lanterns under the eaves, and the dark patterns on it reflected some golden light. She was silent for a while and said calmly: "That thing - I don't think I have to hand it over to you."
When I heard this, my heart suddenly felt a little slack: "Why?"
"Nothing, I just think, maybe nothing is important."
"What the Empress said means, before, the Empress thought that there were some important things that should be told to me?"
She listened, and didn't move for a moment, only the heavy earrings on the earlobe were slightly rippling, as if the mood of the two of them was at this moment. After a while, she heard her sigh: "Yan Qingying, you, you..."
“…”
"Have anyone ever told you that the smarter you are, the harder it is."
“…”
"If you ask less and care less, wouldn't it be better to have a better time?"
Her words made me stunned for a moment.
I am not unfamiliar with her words. I vaguely remember that when I was in Yangzhou, Pei Yuanhao was thrown into prison. When Nangong Lizhu came to visit me, she seemed to say similar things.
Indeed, if you ask less questions and care less, I will be better than now.
but--
I smiled and looked at the clear outline on her side, and said softly: "The Empress is right."
“…”
"But, I will do that, not Yan Qingying."
“…”
This time, her eyes flashed for a moment, turned around and looked at me, looking at my eyes that were a little sad but never changed, and was silent for a while, and sighed softly: "You..."
Then I walked behind her: "What is the empress who wants to hand it over to me?"
She lowered her head, reached out to touch her sleeve for a while, and finally pulled out a letter.
I was stunned: "This is-"
"What I want to give to you is the letter Yun Hui wrote to me at the beginning."
...
I immediately remembered that she once told me that Yang Yunhui was ordered to go to Xichuan to verify some things - of course I also learned later that he was ordered by Pei Yuanhao to find out Pei Yuanxiu's life experience - at that time, he wrote a letter to Yang Jinqiao, expressing that he planned to retire completely in the future and take her to live a carefree life.
Why should I hand this letter over to me?
Don’t I already know all the contents in it?
Yang Jinqiao looked at me with a slightly frowning look, and seemed to have guessed what I thought. He just curled the corners of his lips lightly, and then said, "I will keep the original by my side. I have recorded a letter for you before. I have hesitated before, but you are right. You are such a person, and I am not afraid of you going to get into the fire. After all, some of my current income is also thanks to you."
I looked at her and smiled embarrassedly for a moment.
But fortunately, she just talked to stab me in front of her.
After saying that, she twisted the letter with her fingers and handed it to me: "Take it back and read it."
“…”
"I think there are some things that you will be interested in."
“…”
