The Submissive Emperor - Chapter 97

Because this big wedding was closer to the new year than the last time, as Mrs. Pingjianghou’s eldest aunt could not get out of her body, the third uncle and the third uncle and his wife were allowed to come to Beijing.

The third aunt, Zhou, is still Guanxihou’s cousin, the cousin of the brothers Zhou Song and Zhou Chong. Compared with the eldest aunt raised by a scholarly family, the third aunt who came from a general is much harsher.

“The royal family will come to remind the makeup in two days. How are you preparing for the dowry?” The third aunt was wearing a gorgeous gold dress, sitting on the main seat with a spring smile, her voice was very loud and shocked Wei’s Frowning.

The second aunt looked at the obviously troublesome third aunt, lest the world would not mess up and said: “The third uncle doesn’t know anything about it, and the family will be separated at the beginning of spring. The dowry of the elder son can only be taken out from the Suzaku hall, and the wife can’t control it. .”

As soon as he heard that Lou Jing’s dowry was prepared by himself, Zhou immediately turned his face, “Why, does the madam not want to take care of the dowry?”

Wei’s family didn’t want to see people from the Xu family. Last year’s second uncle and eldest aunt gave her face severely. Now facing the noisy third aunt, the smile on her face is reluctant. Hearing this aggressive After that, he sullen his face simply, “Shi Ziye is now in charge of Anguo Gongfu, and I am a deep house woman who can’t help much.”

“Have you been a stepmother like this?” Zhou’s anger rushed out, and the words couldn’t sound like, “Zhuyu, this is going to be married to the royal family. The dowry is not good, but the people from the Lou family are lost. “

Wei’s heart was stunned, but he could only listen to Zhou’s remarks.

Lou Jing handed over the dowry to his accountant, Cheng Xiuru, who had never had Wei’s hand, and prepared according to last year’s 40 thousand taels. The wedding of the emperor and the prince was originally a specification, and Xiao Chengjun had just ascended the throne, a hundred waste waiting to be thriving, it is not suitable for extravagance and waste, so there is no need to add more. Both the left and right are his own property, there is no need to take it out for others to look at.

Therefore, in the face of the third aunt who was constantly complaining about Wei’s, Lou Jing just smiled, and didn’t say much, and continued to work on his house-copying affairs.

How much money did Shen Lian greedy? There was a lot of discussion in the capital. Some said that Shen Lian had long been rich enough to be an enemy of the country, some said that Shen Lian’s money was enough to fill the moat with copper plates, and some people said that Shen Lian’s mansion was made of gold bricks… the more it spreads, the more mysterious.

Although the rumors are not credible, they come from nowhere and there must be a reason.

Lou Jing couldn’t help but wonder when watching boxes of jewels being carried out from Shen’s treasury. Talking about the pearls of the calculation, the gold bricks that form the wall, the antique calligraphy and paintings piled up in the house… The eunuch, who has gone away, put all his greed on the gold and silver, as if he could only sleep in a pile of jewels. Get some comfort.

The grandfather unselfishly asked the officials of the Ministry of Household to count the gold and silver jewelry in the yard, and Lou Jing wandered around the mansion without even looking.

“It deserves to be the queen appointed by the emperor, the son of the elder is really…” The head of the household department gave a gesture of “admiration” to the people next to her.

Everyone nodded one after another. Facing the gold and silver treasures in a courtyard, they could only swallow their saliva and keep the accounts honestly. There was no other reason. Lou Jing brought hundreds of elite soldiers to surround the courtyard. There were hundreds of them. Staring at it, it’s hard to pass a bead into your pocket.

Lou Jing entered Shen Lian’s bedroom graciously on his own. This room was extremely luxurious, not inferior to the imperial palace. The slender hand picked up three fragrances, lit and extinguished the open flame, and curled green smoke continuously between his fingers. Putting a stick of incense on the incense table personally, Lou Jing said slowly, “Daddy Shen, go well.”

Although Shen Lian was a traitor who was personally punishable, he was really interesting to Lou Jing. The money he should give was a lot of money, which helped him and Xiao Chengjun a lot.

The grievances are clear, the money and the goods are clear, this stick of incense can be considered to be enough to owe Shen Lian.

After receiving the incense, Lou Jing looked around the room casually, and was suddenly attracted by a sword hung on the wall. The scabbard is faintly blue, like gold and not gold, like jade and not jade, except for the shimmer of the whole body, there is no other decoration, but a five-color silk ribbon is tied on the handle, which looks very different from the whole sword. , Apparently Shen Lian added it himself.

Raising his hand to tear off the silk ribbon that was superfluous, drew his sword, and let out a dragon chant, Lou Jing was taken aback, holding the sword with his hand to look carefully, and in an inconspicuous corner, the “Nine Heavens” was carved with ancient seals. Character.

The Nine Heavens Sword and the Chi Xiao Sword were originally a pair, but Chi Xiao had been lost. The one that Lou Jing gave to Ji Zhuo was an imitation made a hundred years ago, but the Nine Heavens Sword was real. Chixiao symbolizes the expansion of territory, but Jiuxiao guards the mountains and rivers. It is really ironic that such a sword of the country falls in the hands of the eunuch.

Lou Jing threw away the saber he had brought in a few silver pieces, and hung the Nine Heavens Sword around his waist. The house was filled with rare and precious treasures as if he hadn’t seen it, and only took the sword and left.

The advantage of finding something when scouting the home is the official rules. It is not good for Lou Jing to be empty-handed. Seeing him come out with a sword, many officials are relieved, finally this is not a pedantic person.

Lou Jing is naturally not a pedantic person. When the big accounts are checked out, the people under his hands will hide a few small objects privately. Everyone has benefited, and everyone is happy.

Xiao Chengjun listened to the words brought back by An Shun, who declared the decree, and paused in his hand criticizing the memorial. “He said he was greedy for a good thing?”

Anshun replied embarrassedly: “Yes.” Lou Jing asked Anshun to tell him that he was greedy for a rare object, but he couldn’t leave the object, so he could only hold it by himself. If the emperor wanted to see it, he had to find him.

The two hadn’t seen each other for many days since they met at the Imperial Study Room last time.

Knowing that this was the man who was acting coquettishly with him, Xiao Chengjun couldn’t help but chuckle. After a long time of separation, he missed it very much. He simply threw down the Zhubi, “Nothing, go get the normal clothes, I’m going out of the palace.”

The third uncle was very dissatisfied with Lou Jing’s going to marry Xiao Chengjun again. Although the Xu family eldest brother repeatedly told him not to do a lot of things before leaving home, the third uncle was furious, so he had to talk to Lou Jing.

Lou Jing went to see her husband in a hurry, but was held back by the third uncle.

The upright third uncle obviously couldn’t understand the young man’s thoughts. He smoked dry smoke and groaned: “Dignified seven-foot man, rushing to marry in the deep palace, why are you so confused?”

Lou Jing sighed helplessly, “You can’t help it because you love me, so please don’t persuade me, Uncle.”

“Huh, since ancient times, there has been no emperor who has been in love forever.” The third uncle slammed his cigarette on the bluestone, hating iron and making steel. Yuan, you are a big man, is it possible to fight for favor with those women?”

Lou Jing did not speak any more. He believed that Xiao Chengjun would not marry his concubine. Of course, he could not let Xiao Chengjun marry. “Beat him firmly.

“The imperial decree is all down, what’s the use of you talking about these?” The third aunt couldn’t listen anymore, raised her eyebrows, “have the ability to let the emperor take back the will.”

The third uncle looked calm and wanted to say something, looked at the third aunt who stared at him coldly, and lighted another pot of cigarettes sullenly.

Lou Jing slightly curled her lips, rubbed her in front of the third aunt, and said aggrieved: “This is the end of the matter, and I hope my aunt will persuade the third uncle.”

The third aunt couldn’t see Lou Jing the most, and quickly patted his hand to comfort him: “Don’t pay attention to his old stubbornness, go and work on yours.” After speaking, she glanced at the opposite third uncle, causing the third uncle to speak. Bian’s words swallowed again suffocated.

Lou Jing turned and left the guest house, and immediately ran to the Vermilion Hall with wind under his feet. He and Xiao Chengjun made an appointment to meet in Zuixianlou, and the hour was about to pass. He changed his clothes in a hurry, opened the door of Suzaku Hall, and saw a canopy carriage parked outside the door. The driver with a hat, saw him come out and raised his head slightly, revealing a familiar face-the Ouchi guard commander Lu trillion.

A white hand lifted the driving curtain, and a bright yellow undershirt was exposed in the plain wide sleeves.

“Yuan Lang!” Lou Jing ran over with his eyes shining brightly, wrapping his warm hand on the palm of his hand, “Why are you here?”

Xiao Chengjun got out of the carriage and looked at the gate of the decent Suzaku Hall. “If the beautiful lady does not come, I will welcome it myself.”

Lou Jing pursed his lips and smiled, leaning over to wrap his arms around his waist, “As soon as you come, can you stay overnight?”

Xiao Chengjun glanced at him and said, “I am a gentleman.” With this, he pushed away the guy sticking to him, and walked into the Vermilion Hall with his hand.

In fact, Xiao Chengjun didn’t want to drink anything in Zuixianlou. He even wanted to come to Suzaku Hall before his wedding and take a look at the queen’s “boudoir”.

Suzaku Hall is not big, but there should be a lot of the same, pavilions, pavilions, main halls and other courtyards, exquisite with some high-class and rare warmth and popularity, which is in line with Lou Jing’s temperament, and looks exquisite and exquisite. There is no flaw, but it is gentle and interesting, and it will never be bored for a lifetime. Xiao Chengjun watched the courtyard with great interest. With such a warm and pleasant feeling, he would soon move into the palace and belong to him alone. Thinking about it this way, he couldn’t help but look forward to his future life.

Lou Jing waved back all the subordinates, and reluctantly stuck to the emperor’s back again, without talking, sticking like a dogskin plaster, wherever he went and where he went.

“What good stuff did you find today?” Xiao Chengjun saw that there was no one on the left and right, so he let him pat the big head on the shoulder and asked him with a smile.

“A lot of good things,” Lou Jing said with a flat mouth. “There are too many people to handle, so I picked a red sandalwood wood carving’Horse Stepping Feiyan’ in a box, remember to let me move it to Fengyi Palace.”

Xiao Chengjun couldn’t laugh or cry. Today, the people from the household department praised Lou Shizi for his innocence and incomparableness. It is inconvenient to take it if he dares to take it. He waited to move it back to the palace before taking it again, “You take it for granted.”

“The treasury belongs to the emperor. The emperor is not willing to give me such a reward?” Lou Jing groaned, burying his face between the emperor’s neck.

“Well, it’s all yours. Give you everything you want.” Xiao Chengjun rubbed the top of his hair, pushed the person away a little, and looked at him. Too grand.”

“Actually, I think it’s okay if you don’t have a ceremony…” Lou Jing muttered, how nice it is to go directly to the bridal chamber.

Xiao Chengjun didn’t hear the second half of Lou Jing’s sentence, but smiled and took his hand to explore the secrets in the Vermilion Hall. It is said that his queen has lived here since the age of six, and I don’t know if there is anything from her childhood.

Lou Jing took his husband to dig out the glazed beads that he had stolen when he was a child in the rockery, and found nougat in a sugar jar for him to eat. “Do you remember the Wosi candy that you gave me when you were a kid?”
