Chapter 77 Pingyao’s Wedding, Fengyang Appears
The emperor was imprisoned, and so was Concubine Hui.
In a sense, the two of them shared the same joys and sorrows.
Only the queen mother, who was alone, was so angry that her face turned blue. She could neither see her son nor use her new daughter-in-law, nor could she save her nephew who was imprisoned.
Moreover, the guards outside the harem were strengthened at some point, so that the queen mother could only move within the harem and exercise her power as the queen mother to the greatest extent.
This undoubtedly made the queen mother angry, anxious, and uneasy.
Although she had always been sure that the poisoned regent would not dare to seize the emperor's power, even if he was now powerful, he would have to return the power of the government when the emperor took power.
But Ji Yucang's methods were obviously beyond her expectations.
Now there was also a wild and unruly Princess Pingyao joining in, which really made the queen mother feel a fear that she could not control.
Ji Yucang alone was enough to make them worry, and Princess Pingyao made them even more angry.
Seeing that these two people seemed to have joined forces for some reason, how could the queen mother not regret it?
But that was all.
All her regrets had nothing to do with Ji Yucang and Shen Ning, and nothing to do with Princess Pingyao.
They had a lot of things to do, and they had no time to deal with an old woman who wanted to rule the country from behind the curtain.
On October 16, Princess Pingyao got married.
Guests came to the door, and it was very lively.
Firecrackers rang, gongs and drums were loud.
This was the first case of a woman marrying a man since the founding of Yong State, breaking the secular tradition. Princess Pingyao directly married her husband as the princess, and rode in a sedan chair with her husband around the city, like a high-ranking person on tour, glorious and glorious, and even the husband beside him became the object of envy of everyone.
The maids in red scattered red dates, peanuts and copper coins along the way. The children watching on both sides of the street happily scrambled for the copper coins and red dates. The people warmly wished the princess and her husband a happy marriage and a son soon.
A happy marriage?
Princess Pingyao turned her head and looked at Qin Yumo who was sitting side by side with her: "Husband, do you think we can be happy together for a hundred years?"
Qin Yumo was wearing a bright red wedding dress today, which made the young man look handsome. His originally gentle and restrained demeanor was reflected by the red robe and had a bright and flamboyant luster, which made Princess Pingyao look at him twice.
"As long as the princess wants, it's fine." Qin Yumo smiled lightly, with a radiant smile and flowing brilliance.
Princess Pingyao narrowed her eyes: "Are you tempting me?"
Qin Yumo was startled and quickly suppressed his smile: "No."
"I'm just kidding you." Princess Pingyao stared at the red robe on him, "But you look good in red, you can wear it often in the future."
Qin Yumo didn't say anything.
"I'll have someone make you a few more red clothes."
Qin Yumo was silent for a moment and nodded: "Yeah."
It was evening and the sun was setting.
The sedan chair landed outside the gate of the Princess's Mansion.
Princess Pingyao got off the sedan chair, holding one end of the red silk, and smiled at Qin Yumo: "Let's go, my husband."
Qin Yumo held the other end of the red silk and walked with Princess Pingyao on the long red carpet. The red carpet was exquisitely carved, and the dragon and phoenix pattern was full of joy and blessings.
Stepping into the door, the two walked step by step towards the hall decorated with joy.
Ji Yucang and Shen Ning sat in the main seat.
As the ceremonial officer shouted loudly: "The auspicious time has arrived, the newlyweds bow to heaven and earth!"
Princess Pingyao and Qin Yumo stepped into the wedding hall.
"First bow to heaven and earth!"
"Second bow to parents!"
"Husband and wife bow to each other--"
Da Da Da!
A sudden sound of horse hooves came, breaking the harmonious bustle in front of them in a very discordant way, accompanied by a high-pitched and rapid shout: "Wait!"
Princess Pingyao frowned and turned to look outside the wedding hall.
Qin Yumo's hand holding the red silk trembled imperceptibly, and he pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Today is a happy wedding. Hasn't the defense been arranged outside? Except for the guests who came, no suspicious people are allowed to approach?" Ji Yucang raised his eyes and looked at Princess Pingyao, "How could such a mistake happen?"
Princess Pingyao was not panicked at all: "Doesn't the emperor want to know who this person is?"
Ji Yucang said calmly: "The voice sounds familiar."
There was a commotion outside the gate, accompanied by a fierce dispute.
Princess Pingyao ordered: "Go tell the outsiders to let the guests in."
"Yes."
The nanny hurried out and froze when she saw the face outside the gate: "General Fengyang?"
A young man in a brocade and white military uniform came in dusty, looking about 26 or 27 years old, with an anxious and anxious look on his face.
He fought against many people alone, rudely pushed away the doormen and guards blocking the way, and rushed in: "Pingyao, you can't marry him, I am your fiancé!"
Qin Yumo's face was pale, and he turned his head in disbelief, looking at the man who rushed in.
Dressed in a brocade and white military uniform, he was imposing.
He also looked good, with sharp edges and corners, handsome and handsome.
He was Ling Fengyang, the most famous young general in Yong State, who was childhood sweethearts with Princess Pingyao, but unfortunately died on the battlefield?
Qin Yumo lowered his eyes.
Compared to himself, a useless weak scholar, who would the princess choose, there should be no need to guess.
"Stop him!" Princess Pingyao raised her arms and said coldly, "Today is my wedding day. If anyone dares to disrupt it, I will not forgive him!"
As soon as the order was given, a group of black guards suddenly appeared from all directions, forming a human wall in the blink of an eye, firmly blocking Ling Fengyang's footsteps.
"Pingyao?" Ling Fengyang was stunned, looking at the eldest princess Pingyao in her wedding dress from a distance, "I am Ling Fengyang, you...don't you recognize me?"
Time seemed to slow down for an instant.
Everything around him became desolate and quiet. The guests who were dining at each table heard the unusual news and came out in twos and threes to watch the excitement. When some of the guests saw Ling Fengyang, their faces all showed signs of surprise.
"General Fengyang! You...didn't you die in battle?"
"General Fengyang has been dead for three years, why did he suddenly appear? He can't be a fake, right?"
"What exactly is going on?"
In the wedding hall, Qin Yumo held the red silk in his hand without realizing it, feeling that he was completely an outsider.
I'm afraid there will be a temporary replacement for today's wedding.
"Although I don't know whether you are Ling Fengyang or not, and I don't know where you suddenly appeared from, but today, no one is allowed to ruin my wedding." Princess Pingyao said coldly, "Even if you are It’s true, Ling Fengyang, you have difficulties, you have hidden secrets, and you have a lot to say to this princess. You can wait until after my wedding!”
After that, he gave a strong order: "Stop him and don't allow him to get closer to here. If anyone ruins this princess's auspicious time, don't blame me for cutting off his head and playing it as a ball."
After saying that, he turned around and motioned to the etiquette officer: "Continue."
Qin Yumo raised his head, looked at Princess Pingyao in disbelief, and asked blankly: "Princess?"
"What?" Princess Pingyao frowned, "What's your problem?"
Qin Yumo shook his head quickly, with a hint of panic: "No, no."
The ceremony officer then shouted: "Husband and wife bow to each other!"
Qin Yumo and Princess Pingyao stood face to face, bowing at the same time. Qin Yumo bowed even lower, feeling mixed in his heart.
"The ceremony is completed and sent to the bridal chamber!"
"Pingyao! Pingyao!" Ling Fengyang shouted anxiously, "You can't marry him. You are my fiancée, and we are husband and wife, Pingyao!"
The eldest princess of Pingyao was too lazy to pay attention to him, and was sent to the new house with Qin Yumo holding the red silk.
Ji Yucang raised his hand and signaled: "Bring him here."
The guards in black escorted Ling Fengyang, brought him to the wedding hall, and roughly knelt on the ground.
Shen Ning's eyes fell on him, her pupils narrowed, and her voice was cold: "Are you wearing the general uniform of Nan Zhao Kingdom?"
