Mu Huagui

Chapter 129 Wedding Dress
Zhou Mingyuan passed the mansion quickly, but he didn't wait until tomorrow, but tapped on Chen Jiao'er's window that night.Hearing the sound at first startled her, until he whispered outside, "It's me."

Chen Jiao'er put on her clothes in the dark, and opened the window, annoyed and funny, "Since you knocked on the window, then come in from here."

Chen Jiao'er didn't like people's vigil, especially after Cherry got married, so she canceled the vigil.Otherwise, if any servant girl saw it, she would not be able to clean herself up by jumping into the Yellow River.

Hearing Zhou Mingyuan's words, Chen Jiao'er really jumped up, his eyes blurred, and his nose had already reached his warm chest.

"Miss me?" Zhou Mingyuan held her in his arms, her soft hair was under the wings of his nose, smelling the faint floral fragrance from her body, he took a deep breath.

"Speak seriously." Chen Jiao'er used an excuse to light the candle on the table and pushed him away.

"There are more serious things than this." Zhou Mingyuan whispered.

"Of course, Liu Shuhe is still alive, do you know?" Chen Jiao'er looked at him with her head tilted. Under the light, a black fox cloak was lined with a dark green gown with tufted patterns, and she looked more heroic and full of vitality.

Zhou Mingyuan thought for a while, "I really don't know about this. I can't see that Liu Shiwen is so humane that he can't even take care of the whole family because of a daughter."

Chen Jiao'er didn't know about Mrs. Liu's way of life and government, so it was inconvenient to comment, so she just continued, "Madam Lu and her should be old acquaintances. Princess Xianjun just found out about it, but I don't know if their father and son knew about it a long time ago, or were they kept in the dark?" inside."

"Leave these things to me to worry about. We're going to get married after the new year. You stay at home and prepare the dowry, okay?" Zhou Mingyuan stroked his head, and slowly slid it down to his waist. .

"Huo'er still refuses to come back? Did you tell him? I don't blame him." Knowing that Zhou Mingyuan was secretly watching Huo'er's movements, Chen Jiao'er sighed.

With a tight hand around his waist, Zhou Mingyuan pressed her tightly into his arms. "It's also good to let him learn some lessons." But he was very happy in his heart.

"Are you treating him..." Chen Jiao'er raised her head sensitively.

Zhou Mingyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and scratched her nose, "You, when will you really believe me. I was very angry at what he did, but you don't blame him anymore, what else can I say. Besides, I talked to him However, he said that the time is not yet ripe. He is such a big man, I can't tie him back."

Chen Jiao'er thought about it, and asked a few more questions if she wanted to, but she was afraid that Zhou Mingyuan would think too much, "In any case, the Lu family has a close relationship with me, and those who are missing can be regarded as my elders, and I must rescue them. .”

"The only place in the capital that can hide them without being discovered by us is the Prince's Mansion of Xian County." Zhou Mingyuan said.Since Chen Jiao'er told him the cause and effect, he mobilized all the eyeliners in the capital to investigate openly and secretly, except that they were indeed taken into the capital, but he couldn't find any clues.

After thinking about it, it can only be that King Xianjun hid them in his mansion to avoid all eyes and ears.

At this time, Lu Huo'er was having a fierce quarrel with someone, "I don't care about your business. I prepared the formula according to the requirements, and the person died. You said that she let my parents and aunt out as soon as she died. Why did she go back on her word?"

"Huo'er, the lord just invited them to sit down and didn't have any intention to embarrass them, so why bother. This time I planned to use Huang Zhilan to trick the emperor, but I didn't expect to let the king of Xianjun take the blame." Mrs. Lu rambled As he spoke, he tried to explain Lu Huo'er.

Lu Huo'er let out a "hum" from his nose, and said, "Then your business has nothing to do with me."

"How can you say it has nothing to do with it? If the king of Xianjun ascends to the throne of God, you will be the founding father of the country. You are comparable to the successor of Yuanhou in a small town." Mrs. Lu supported her stomach with difficulty, still persuading him.

Lu Huo'er wanted to get angry, so she took a look at her stomach before holding back, and laughed, "Aunt Kui also said that she loves you as a sister, and this is how you repay her sisterly affection."

"Mr. Lu was joking, I was brought to Lu's house together with Qing Zhu, I don't owe her anything." Mrs. Lu said sternly.

"I don't owe her anything, how did you and Lu Jiaojiao get that little three-legged cat kung fu, let alone you are self-taught." Lu Huo'er pointed her out without hesitation.If it wasn't for my aunt begging her childhood friends, how could she have secretly passed on the secrets of the Lu family to them.

Kind people would never have thought that because of their own kindness, greedy people would have more and more desires, and in the end they colluded with Liu Shuhe and Xianjun Wang successively, just for their own glory and wealth.

And Princess Xianjun also had a complete fit in the mansion, in front of her husband and son, she threw a white jade hairpin in front of him, "Whose is this?"

"It's just a hairpin." The person guarding the study room is already a dead man in the eyes of Duke Xian.

"Her surname is Lu, she is a widow, and she will give birth next month. You, you are worthy of me. I will work hard for you in the palace, and you will spend time and wine outside."

"She is not an ordinary person, and the matter is very important. You are a woman, so don't worry about these things." Xianjun Wang was vague, trying to get away with it.

Unexpectedly, Princess Xianjun sneered again and again, "This Mrs. Lu is hooking up with Liu Shucha, what are you father and son thinking about?"

"What, Liu Shuhe who had a marriage contract with the emperor?"

"Mom, how do you know?"

Seeing the different reactions of father and son, King Xian looked back at his son and said angrily, "Why didn't you tell me such an important matter."

"I, I..." Zhou Minghua shrank his neck, "I didn't know she knew that woman."

When Liu Shuhe "died" back then, Liu Shiwen resigned from office, and the atmosphere was strange.The funeral was done in a hurry and very few people attended, so the Liu family succeeded in burying Liu Shuhe with the corpses of a group of slaves.

Afterwards, Liu Shuhe and her personal maid, Zhu Er, were detained together in a private house outside Liu's residence, and were guarded by personnel sent by Liu's father and son.No one, including Liu's mother, can enter.

I don't know what method she used, or what conditions she used in exchange for free activities.She often came and went to Mrs. Lu's outer house, but when she went, the king of Xian County "just happened" to be away.

And Zhou Minghua contacted Liu Shuhe as soon as he could go out.Although he was taken aback at the time, his nature quickly made him fight with Liu Shuhe again.He also promised that if his father was expected to become the throne, he would marry her.

"One or two of you, want to piss me off?" Princess Xianjun quickly figured out the relationship between them, "Now the emperor is still in charge, so you should restrain yourself a bit and stop interacting with her."

These words were naturally spoken to Zhou Minghua, but to King Xian, "I don't care who she is, the child cannot be born outside. You must bring her back, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."

"She has a big belly now, and when she gives birth to a child, she will definitely take it back." County King Xian resorted to the word "drag" in desperation.

"Hmph." The concubine sneered, thinking she couldn't see what he was thinking.

King Xianjun couldn't help but let his son go first, and he stayed to continue coaxing the princess.The concubine's natal family is a great help, of course he can't offend her at this time.

After finally comforting the concubine, King Xianjun entered the study and began to think. The emperor has always been cautious in his words and deeds, and he is also diligent, coupled with the failure of framing today.It shows that it is difficult to pull him down step by step according to one's own thinking.

He is already the emperor, if there is no serious mistake, his teacher is unknown, and the ministers in the court don't think they will obey him now.At the critical moment, I am afraid that there are not so many who can follow him to rebel. Now the question is, what should he do.

It is of course impossible to give up. He has worked so hard for so many years to pretend to be a grandson in front of the late emperor, and squeeze out the late emperor's younger brother to become the auxiliary minister. He did not retire for the sake of success.

It seems that the previous idea is no longer feasible, but unfortunately the members of the Lu family refused to cooperate, and Mrs. Lu did not get a proper inheritance from the Lu family.Otherwise, real swords and guns will be used to overthrow the matter directly.

If he hadn't inadvertently learned from the first emperor that the Lu family had this kind of poison that killed tens of thousands of people, how could he have put his hope on them, but the result was disappointment.

The Lu family directly told him that this recipe had existed before, but Miss Lu burned her with her own hands, so it was not passed down.Of course King Xian didn't believe it, but unfortunately, all methods were exhausted, but they couldn't get them to tell more things.

No, we must find a way to open their mouths, this is the best way.In other words, he has only this way of retreat. The emperor wins over the civil servants, and Zhou Mingyuan wins over the military officials. Over the years, the emperor's position has become more and more stable, and his bargaining chips have become less and less. No, he can't wait any longer.

Before Chen Jiao'er got married, Lu Huo'er finally appeared in the Lu residence late at night.As for what he talked with Chen Jiao'er, outsiders don't know.But the next day, Chen Jiao'er's dowry list was at least a dozen pages longer, which was true.

"Miss, look." Aunt Su and Cherry shook off the red wedding gown, Chen Jiao'er touched the delicate embroidery on it, and gasped, the phoenix's eyes were as agile as if it would come to life at any time, and fly away with wings.

"This, this is too beautiful." Chen Jiao'er hugged her wedding dress, not knowing what to say.Cherry proudly said, "You and the prince of Dongjun must be close, so mother put down the work in hand and only embroidered this one. The clothes material and silk thread were all picked out by shopkeeper Qi from the south. Mother was afraid that she was old When I grow up, I only embroider for an hour a day because I don't have enough energy, and I say that I want you to wear the most beautiful wedding dress and marry into the palace."

No matter how much I thank you, I can't fully express Chen Jiao'er's gratitude.Stepped forward and hugged Aunt Su, "Mom, thank you."

"Silly boy, my wife handed over the young lady to the old slave. The old slave finally looks forward to this day, and it is not considered to have failed the trust of the wife." Aunt Su thought of Chen Jiao'er's mother, wiped her tears, and thought that if the wife was still there, there should be how nice.

Qi Luoshu and his wife also put down their work and focused on Chen Jiao'er's marriage.The princess of Dongjun is also busy, and her wish for many years has been fulfilled, and she also arranges the marriage for her only son-in-law.With this kind of vigor, all the people in the whole house, from the princes to the relatives to the servants, are trained to pedal the hot wheel and spin it non-stop.
