Chapter 213
The wedding ceremonies are the same as those of the prince and concubine, which means that the palace of the virtuous prince is going to pick up the bride.

In order to show sincerity, He Lianyu, who was dressed in a wedding robe, planned to go to battle in person, but the staff disagreed, "It's just a side concubine after all, if the prince goes to greet her in person, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the future concubine?"

Concubine?He Lianyu pursed his lips sarcastically. The concubine he had his eyes on was still being raised in Qiu Zongbing's mansion. She was only 13 years old, what could she understand?When she matures, he has been married to his side concubine for many years. She is a latecomer, can she still cling to the past?Unexpectedly, her father would not dare to give her that courage.

The father of the concubine that He Lianyu had a crush on really didn't have the guts to be sandwiched between the two masters, one light and one dark, and he was so worried that he lost all his goatee beard that had just grown up.

His colleagues are all envious of him getting 30 military power, but only he knows the pain in his heart. He took over the power of the dark master, but he has to work for the bright master. People miss it.

To say that He Lianyu, who is older than his daughter by how many years, is like an old cow gnawing young grass, and he gnaws it as it should be--you are my king's person, and your whole family should be my king Serve, let your daughter be the concubine, it means this king thinks highly of you.

But his youngest daughter is ignorant and ignorant, so she has no reason to participate in the battle between the princes!Even if he was promised the position of concubine, he...he has no power to resist. Now he can only burn two more sticks of incense to pray for the dark master to recover soon and show him the way. Does this daughter really have to be given to that greedy man? The old cow kept it. If he didn't need to stay, he would immediately find a matchmaker to discuss marriage, so that he could go out early and feel at ease.

Let's talk about He Lianyu's side, eight palanquins were carried outside the gate of the Lu Mansion, and the people who watched the excitement gathered around the street, and they were all envious.A merchant woman married into the royal family as a side concubine. Although the side concubine was just a noble concubine, how could the royal family's noble concubines be compared to those messy concubines outside? The Lu family can be said to have accumulated virtues from their ancestors.

In fact, the ancestors of the Lu family really didn't have any virtue, especially Lu Xiuyuan's grandfather, who betrayed his good friend Qu Dashan for his own selfishness, resulting in the death of the Qu family's wife and family, and ruined the great marriage between Lu Chuan and Qu Luo.

People outside don't know about it, so they naturally think that it is a great honor for a merchant woman to marry into the royal family, but for the Lu family, marrying a daughter is just the beginning, and they will pay more in the future. Retribution to come.

Holding her daughter's hand, Mrs. Lu was so distressed that she couldn't say a word.

Lu Youxuan hadn't covered her head yet, and when she looked up and saw the expression of Mrs. Lu, she felt uncomfortable, and said weakly, "Mother, my daughter is leaving."

It's okay not to mention this sentence, but once it is mentioned, the second wife of Lu's tears can't hold back and fall down.

"Okay." Mrs. Hou Fan abducted the second Mrs. Lu with her arm, "This is the day of marrying your daughter. Why are you crying like you are parting from life and death? Let someone who cares know it. I still don't know how to arrange how the Lu family will respond. I am not satisfied with this marriage!"

The Second Mrs. Lu thought that Xuanxuan went to the Xianwang Mansion to enter the Longtan and Tiger's Den, so what is the difference between the farewell and the parting of life and death, but she also understood that what her sister said was not unreasonable, so she could barely stop her tears and raised her sleeves With a touch, he took Lu Youxuan's hand again, and said earnestly, "Xuanxuan, you have to take good care of yourself when your mother is not around. Also, you are allergic to peanuts, so you must avoid eating them. When you go, explain to the kitchen of Prince Xian's mansion." , so that people don’t know how to make peanut fillings. In addition, you are born with a cold body, especially when the girl’s house is always in pain. If possible, let the doctor in the palace take a closer look at you, and then make it Some pills, if they can be cured, that would be the best, and..."

"You might as well get married." Fan couldn't help interrupting Mrs. Lu's words, "There are so many dowry maids and mothers here, don't they know what things their girls avoid and what little problems they usually have? Well, I said, sister, the auspicious time is coming, so don't make the bridegroom outside wait in a hurry."

The Second Mrs. Lu smiled through tears, and gave Fan a look, "You talk too much, and Xuanxuan is not your daughter, so of course you don't feel bad."

"Who says I don't feel distressed anymore?" Fan snorted twice, "But no matter how distressed you are, there must be a limit, you just moved the Lu Mansion into the Xian Wang Mansion for Xuanxuan's convenience, There is always a time for a daughter to grow up and be independent. As mothers, we should let go when it is time to let go. You can’t keep her in your own home for the rest of your life. You have to think that after today, someone will love your daughter for you. What's wrong with this. After all, it was a marriage bestowed by the emperor. The virtuous king must give the Lu family some favors. Besides, Dongyanghou's mansion is still Uncle Xuanxuan's house. No matter what, the virtuous king has to be afraid. Xuanxuan will be left out in the cold." He didn't dare to borrow his courage.

With Fan's reassurance, the second wife of Lu's mood has indeed improved a lot, and she no longer shed tears. She patted the back of Lu Youxuan's hand and signaled her to get on the sedan chair with peace of mind.

Lu Youxuan was covered with a hijab while being nervous and apprehensive. Although the wedding dress she wore today was not the true red color of a princess, it was expensive because of the exquisite materials used, so the effect was not inferior to the authentic Fengguanxiapei.

He Lianyu had already gone to the main hall to meet Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu. Lu Yinheng came outside Lu Youxuan's boudoir. Hearing that the wedding matchmaker said that the bride was ready, he squatted down with his back to the door and waited for the wedding matchmaker. After supporting the bride on his back, he slowly stood up and walked towards the gate.

Lu Xiuyuan was sitting outside the hall, which is a place He Lianyu must pass through.

When the other party saw him when he came out, he nodded with a relaxed expression, which was also counted as giving face.

As for why He Lianyu wants to give Lu Xiuyuan face, one is because he will have to spend money from the Lu family in the future, and now Lu Xiuyuan is in charge of the Lu family, so he naturally has to be more polite to this uncle; At that time, all the people in the city saw that the Lu family married their daughters is considered a rich man, envious of how many young daughters who have not left the court, even the famous families in the capital are far behind, Lu Xiuyuan alone Just one person added [-]% of the makeup to Lu Youxuan. It was the land deeds of all the shops under the name of the Lu family in the Jiangbei area, and there were more than [-] expensive Western houses, plus other miscellaneous dowry jewelry and clothes.All in all, Lu Youxuan's dowry directly caused a sensation in the entire Shuntian Mansion. Even Emperor Yonglong had to sigh with emotion. This kid from the Lu family is really rich. He has to find a way to charge it to the treasury, otherwise he will be trampled on. When entering the Lu family, there is nothing but money, and sooner or later the family will be fed up with money.

What outsiders saw was Lu Youxuan's love and affection. Her parents doted on her, and her two elder brothers held her dearly. Only the Lu family knew that the money was used to gag He Lianyu's mouth.

For He Lianyu, who was in urgent need of money, he had gained face and was proud of himself, so of course he had to be kinder to Lu Xiuyuan.

"His Royal Highness." Lu Xiuyuan gently turned the wheelchair, stopped when he was a foot away from He Lianyu, raised his head and looked straight at him, "Cao Min congratulates the prince on his wedding."

He Lianyu raised his eyebrows, "Young Master Lu has raised a good sister." Wouldn't it be nice to be a cash cow that can help him collect all of the Lu family's wealth?Naturally, in the future, he must treat her kindly. Of course, this must be on the premise that the Lu family will continue to provide him with money. Otherwise, even if the other party is a peony, he can turn her into a withered grass.

The corners of Lu Xiuyuan's lips twitched, and it was hard to see whether it was a sarcasm or a smile, "My sister is young and pure-hearted, I hope His Highness... be merciful." It was an explicit pleading, but in fact it implied a warning.Xuanxuan is the most beloved daughter of the three uncles, whoever dares to touch her, even if he spends all his wealth, will kill the other party to avenge Xuanxuan.

He Lianyu couldn't hear it, his face darkened, "Master Lu is so sure that this king will destroy flowers with his hands?"

Lu Xiuyuan said unhurriedly: "I'm just worried that my sister's flower is too delicate to withstand the ravages of the royal family's wind and rain, and I want to ask His Highness to take care of her a little more."

He Lianyu smiled, "Whether this king's concubine can be good or not depends on the attitude of her natal family, and your current attitude, brother-in-law, makes me very unhappy!" Even if you have money, you can't escape the humble identity and status of a merchant. He can fancy Lu Youxuan, which is the blessing she has cultivated in eight lifetimes. What qualifications does Lu Xiuyuan have to come to warn him personally?As soon as he is a majestic prince, what kind of attitude does he want to take towards his woman, and it is his turn to be judged by others?

Lu Xiuyuan smiled, "Whether the Lu family's attitude is good or not depends on how my sister is doing well!"

He Lianyu's face was so dark that he gritted his teeth, "Lu Xiuyuan! How dare you threaten me? Believe it or not..."

Before the three words "tear her up" were uttered, Lu Xiuyuan interrupted, "The Lu family lacks everything except money. The industry from north to south covers almost the entire Nanliang." Forty to fifty percent of the money is offered by the Lu family. To put it bluntly, even the emperor has to give three points to the Lu family because of this. You are just a prince whose power has been cut off. How dare you try to touch her hair?
He Lianyu was indeed threatened, his eyes were full of repression and forbearance, if it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't touch the Lu family, he would have punished Lu Xiuyuan severely, and dared to threaten the prince, huh, too much life?

With a cold snort, He Lianyu strode directly towards the gate of the Lu residence.

Lu Yinheng had already carried Lu Youxuan out of the gate, but it had been a long time since the groom came out, so Lu Yinheng didn't put his sister down, he was also anxious in his heart, and kept looking at the wedding matchmaker beside him, "Why hasn't the prince come out yet?"

Lu Yin is always in a hurry, and the wedding matchmaker is even more anxious. It seems that the auspicious time of worship is approaching, but the groom's official keeps tossing about at the bride's natal home. If the auspicious time is missed... even if the auspicious time is missed, no one will Dare to say more, the other party is a prince, even if his power is cut, he is still a son of a dragon, who is tired of living and dare to criticize him?

Everyone waited with their own thoughts, and when they finally expected the protagonist to come, they saw that his face was dark and his whole body was cold.

Seeing this situation, everyone didn't dare to say anything, but Lu Yinheng was more courageous, and asked He Lianyu directly, "The bride has already come out, why did the prince stay behind for so long?" As the Lu family, as the bride's natal family, and under the premise of knowing why He Lianyu married his younger sister, there are some things that have to be guarded against. I saw the elder brother coming before, could it be that the virtuous king stayed behind? Got into an argument with the eldest brother in the back?Otherwise, why would his face look so ugly?

He Lianyu was indeed in a bad mood, and Lu Xiuyuan's reminder seemed to be still echoing in his ears - the Lu family was the richest man, a cash cow that the emperor would not be willing to touch easily.Therefore, the value of anyone with the surname Lu will follow Lu Xiuyuan's rise, and even if he wants to say a word to anyone, he can't do it.

The bridegroom officer had already come out, Lu Yinheng carefully put down Lu Youxuan, and whispered a few words to her before letting the wedding matchmaker send him to the bridal sedan chair.

Lu Yinheng was fascinated by looking at the sedan chair. As soon as the younger sister left, the big house of the Lu family became much colder. Now that he went to the Xianwang Mansion, he didn't know how soon he would be able to return to visit his relatives. Alas, it really is the elder brother who is like a father. I realized how much I miss this cute and cute little girl.

"Farewell, my king." Without saying a word of politeness, He Lianyu quickly got on his horse, said four words coldly, and returned with the welcoming team.

Being threatened by Lu Xiuyuan pointing his nose like that, He Lianyu lost his mood for a long time, and even saved the sedan chair from going around the city, and went directly to the Xianwang Mansion.

Today's Prince Xian's Mansion is also quite lively, whether they are in line or not, no matter which team they are in, many civil and military ministers have come. On the bright side, it is naturally because of the face of the Tian family, because Concubine Xiao came in person Sitting down.

One must know that Lu Youxuan is just a side princess, and she was able to get Concubine Xiao to personally officiate the marriage. Does it mean that Concubine Xiao and the Queen Mother behind her attach great importance to this marriage?In other words, Concubine Xiao and the Empress Dowager both "prefer" the Lu Mansion?
If it is, then it is enough to see that the status of the Lu family has risen a lot, and it can be regarded as another hidden purpose of their coming to the banquet - to show their faces in front of the side princess, in order to curry favor with the Lu family Lay the foundation.

The Lu family has no power, but they have money, and the most important thing to deal with in officialdom is money. I believe there is no one who doesn't love this thing. They didn't dare to curry favor with them before because of the class constraints of scholars, peasants, businessmen, even if they thought about the Lu family. He was drooling over the money, and he had to follow the "like-minded" colleagues in despising the Lu family's mercenary.

It's different now, the Lu family is married to the royal family, and their wealth has risen, so it's not the same. They can use the name of "eat banquet" to find a sense of presence in front of the side princess.

You want to say that the male guest can't see the side princess?The old guys have a lot of ideas. There is only such a concubine in the palace of Xian Wang. .

As a result, the gift He Lianyu received today was beyond imagination. Some people even found out that the precious flowers and plants in his villa outside the palace were destroyed, and specially presented the treasures that he had cherished for decades. Some people think that a woman like Lu Youxuan who was born in a merchant must be a philistine and smell of copper, so gold, stone and jade are sent to the Xian Wang's mansion without money.

It's a pity that these things can't arouse Lu Youxuan's interest. There are so many flowers and plants in Lu's house, and gold, stone and jade are even more tiresome. No matter how heavy they are, they will feel very ordinary in Lu Youxuan's eyes. You know, the Lu family is very Don't give gifts, but if you give gifts to others, it must be a big deal, so she subconsciously imagined that these civil and military officials were as rich as the Lu family, thinking that if other families had something to do, they would give them in the same way.

Fortunately, the group of people who came here with hope didn't know that the concubine side turned them into "rich people" who gave gifts for nothing after reading the gift list, otherwise they would vomit three liters of blood one by one.As for the gift, every piece is a treasure that you can't bear to touch on weekdays!just ignored...

Concubine Xiao was dressed up today, and Mum Kui tied her up in a bun, she looked very energetic.

Seeing the bridegroom and the bride walking into the auditorium holding the big red flowered silk, the corners of Concubine Xiao Huang's mouth slightly raised. Of course she was happy that her son won the gold mountain of the Lu family, so even though she knew that she was only marrying the concubine today, she still couldn't help it Here comes the palace of the virtuous king.

Mallow at the side raised her eyes quietly, and just happened to see Concubine Xiao's complacent expression, and sneered in her heart, thinking that if you get the Lu family, you can get everything?It's too naive to think!

The ceremony of three prostrations was completed very quickly. He Lianyu led the big red flower silk and walked in front, while Lu Youxuan led the other end and followed behind, stepping on the "path" made of rice bags to the new house.

After entering the new house, He Lianyu took the scale handed over by the happy media and lifted Lu Youxuan's hijab.

Seeing the light suddenly, Lu Youxuan closed her eyes uncomfortably, and then opened them again. When she saw Helian Yu's handsome face, her heart stopped suddenly. This...is the husband she will spend the rest of her life with?I didn't seem to be prepared at all, not ready to be a wife, not ready to be a mother, and even less ready to live under the same roof with a completely strange man.

Seeing the helplessness in her eyes like a frightened deer, He Lianyu's heart moved slightly. If you say that Lu Youxuan's appearance is not stunning, but she is also a rare and delicate beauty, especially the baby fat on both cheeks that can't increase or decrease. It also makes people feel pity from the bottom of their hearts.

He Lianyu had never met Lu Youxuan before, and Lu Youxuan had never met him before, so this first meeting with the hijab removed made both of them stunned.

He Lianyu didn't expect that Lu Youxuan would have such an appearance, like a fragile porcelain doll. Such a person has a certain lethality, not to mention being cruel, even saying a few harsh words to her would be like in crime.

But Lu Youxuan was panicked. She had never been alone with a stranger before. When she thought that she would be honest with a strange man she had never met tonight, her heart became more and more flustered, so that her weak shoulders trembled slightly. The hands can't help but make movements to protect themselves.

He Lianyu narrowed his eyes, "Are you afraid?"

"No, no." Lu Youxuan took a deep breath and shook her head.

"You're afraid of me." This time it was in an affirmative tone.

Being stared at so directly by him, Lu Youxuan was so shocked and frightened that she was on the verge of crying.

He Lianyu pushed closer, Lu Youxuan instinctively dodged to the side, cold sweat covered her back.

"From tonight onwards, you are my king's man." He Lianyu suddenly sat down beside her, wrapped her arms around her slender waist, and circled her towards him.

There are no serious masters in his back house, it's just that the palace has arranged for a few housemaids before, but those are just maids, and their appearance can only be seen casually. If it is not for the completion of the task, He Lianyu is often unwilling to touch. Most of them are carried out with the lights off, but this one in front of him is a girl carefully raised by the Lu family. She is weak and watery. Can't stop sinking.

Rao He Lianyu can't pass the beauty test, even though he has no feelings for her, but she is his woman and a tool for him to collect money, so it's only natural that he wants her.

"My lord, this concubine... I'm a little hungry." Lu Youxuan was tightly held by him, feeling uncomfortable all over, she wanted to move, for fear of making him angry, but she didn't move, she was not used to being hugged like this.To be precise, it is because she has not fully accepted the fact that she is married, so even if there is no one in the room now, only the two of them, being hugged by him like this, she will still feel that she is innocent for the first time If it is ruined, no man will dare to ask for it in the future.

"The kitchen will send you a table of noodles in a while." He Lianyu's voice involuntarily softened a little, and originally wanted to vent all the anger he received from Lu Xiuyuan on her, but who would have expected that Lu Youxuan would look like this... It's so hard to let go, the panicked little eyes and the uneasy writhing delicate body are all seducing the bloody man to commit a crime.

The big palm clamped her petite chin and sternly straightened her head. He Lianyu looked at Lu Youxuan for a moment, her eyes were wet, as if covered with a thin layer of mist. People can't help pity.

Being stared at by him like this, Lu Youxuan subconsciously stepped back.

He Lianyu's grip on her chin became more intense, and he sneered, "Playing hard to get?"

Lu Youxuan was anxious and angry, what is playing hard to get, is she familiar with him?Why did she do that?She was just afraid of his deep pool-like eyes. When she looked at her, it was as if she had become a prey in his cage. Whether she would live or die was entirely up to him. Apart from escaping, she had almost no possibility of surviving.

Because of his extreme anger, his little face seemed to be covered with a thick layer of rouge. He Lianyu's eyes were red, and when he retracted his arms, the force was too strong. She was caught off guard and fell into his arms. He Lianyu Lifting her chin again, wanting to do something to her, Lu Youxuan's heartbeat was extremely flustered, she narrowed her eyes and hurriedly said: "There are still many guests in the outer courtyard!"

When a basin of cold water was poured down, all of He Lianyu's interest was interrupted. He wished he could crush her face directly, and the gloomy breath enveloped her whole body inside.

"My lord, my lord." Seeing that the other party remained still, Lu Youxuan tentatively called again.

Letting go of her abruptly, He Lianyu stood up and straightened the corner of Li Da's red robe, and walked out without a word.

As soon as He Lianyu left, the maidservant who came as a dowry from outside rushed in, asked her girl that she was hungry, and immediately went to the kitchen to help prepare the noodles.

Lu Youxuan was indeed very hungry, so when the noodles were delivered, she started directly without thinking, um, eating can relieve stress, this is the experience she gained in the boudoir.

Everything today is so incompetent, she still feels like she is dreaming.

She is married and has a husband. From now on, she can no longer go back to her mother's house casually. Someone will always control her for her parents.

As she ate, Lu Youxuan's eye circles turned red.

Seeing this, Bucai's little girl asked distressedly, "My concubine, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Youxuan quickly wiped away her tears, "I miss home." These are her personal maids, and she speaks more casually in front of them.Suddenly came to a place I didn't know at all, and I was indeed homesick, and felt more and more that I couldn't do without my parents and brother.

The servant girl's face changed greatly when she heard it, and she hurriedly made a silent gesture to Lu Youxuan, "Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense, otherwise, if the people in Prince Xian's Mansion hear it, we will have nothing to eat."

This servant girl is cautious. She has been with Lu Youxuan for many years. When she heard the servant girl say this, the depression in her heart dissipated a little, but she was still sad. She would have to live in this place from now on and sleep with the man at night. Embarrassed!Although she had had someone she liked, she had only met him twice from a distance. At that time, all she could think about was when she would have another chance, to see him once again from a distance like that, even if she wanted to discuss marriage, It is also something that the elders worry about. She has never thought about getting married, so for her, everything in front of her is too strange, and she can't accept it for a while.

But even if she resisted in her heart, she couldn't say it out of her mouth. After He Lianyu accompanied the guests and went back to the new room for a brief wash, she still had to wait for him to rest.
