"The King of the North is going to marry a wife today, a double happiness. A banquet will be held in Chunhui Tower, everyone who sees it will be a part of it!"
Marrying a wife? Everyone sighed, which family’s girl was so lucky? She picked up a princess for nothing!
But for some people, the focus of their listening is the last sentence. Whoever sees it has a share? No money?
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the banquet!"
Those who reacted quickly shouted and rushed into Chunhui Tower, finding an inconspicuous place to sit down so as not to bump into the noble man.
When the others saw this, they were afraid of losing their spot, but they did not dare to squeeze in. They patiently entered Chunhui Tower in a polite manner.
Fortunately, Chunhui Building is big enough, and the waiter invited all the respectable adults into the private room.
Now there are no more seats in the lobby for these people who are joining in the fun.
Bai Xiao has already put on his wedding clothes.
"Emperor, imperial brother."
He was still a little unaccustomed to it, but when he called out, he was extremely happy. He really became brothers with his master.
"Go for it!"
Jun Lingyun spoke, and Bai Xiao bowed respectfully. Then he left Chunhui Tower, mounted his tall horse, and went to pick up the bride Mu Qier.
At this time, the Empress Chu Yunxi, who was strategizing in the palace, was very leisurely and at ease.
She had just played a few games with Si Qi and felt very relaxed.
Si Qi stood up with a frustrated look on his face.
"Empress, please find someone else to play chess with you. Si Qi is going to endorse."
Chu Yunxi was in high spirits and naturally didn't want to lose his chess friend.
"On the first day of the new year, what books should I memorize? Sit down and play a few games with me."
Si Qi felt aggrieved:
"Your Majesty, my chess skills are not good. I lose every game. It's really boring."
She originally thought that she was good at chess. In the past, when she played chess with others, she always won more than she lost.
Unexpectedly, after playing several games with Chu Yunxi, he was defeated miserably.
Chu Yunxi later realized that he was too happy to kill and did not leave Si Qi a way to survive.
Xiaolian giggled and said:
"Si Qi, please don't be discouraged. It's not that you are not good at chess, it's that the Queen is too good at chess.
My chess skills were taught by Mr. Sikong. There is only the second young master in our family who can evenly compete with your Majesty."
After listening to Xiaolian's words, Chu Yunxi wondered if she should find some time to go find her husband or her second brother to play a few games of chess?
While Chu Yunxi was thinking, a magnetic voice came.
"How about I come and play chess with the queen?"
Si Qi and others quickly saluted and moved out of the way. Jun Lingyun lifted up his robe and sat across from Chu Yunxi.
Chu Yunxi smiled sweetly, full of fighting spirit.
"Your Majesty, whoever loses will be punished with a sticker on his face."
She couldn't help but laugh when she thought of Jun Lingyun's handsome face with paper stuck on it.
Jun Lingyun glanced at Si Qi, whose face was blank, and said coldly:
"When the Queen's face is covered with paper, she is not allowed to act shamelessly and cry."
Chu Yunxi signaled Si Qi to place the chess pieces. Who is he looking down on?
Jun Lingyun said: "I'll give you three steps."
Chu Yunxi raised his chin slightly. "No need!"
…
On this day, Chunhui Tower was busy until it got dark and the people all dispersed.
That's a free flowing banquet, and it's Chunhui Tower that you can't bear to eat on weekdays. Who doesn't want to come and feel happy.
I had pity on the Northern Barbarian envoy, who was taken in turns to toast him by the ministers, until he drank until he was drunk.
He wanted to see who the bride was, but failed in the end. Before the wedding, he was forced to lose consciousness.
In fact, no one among the ministers present knew who the bride of the upstart Northern King was.
The only people who knew the inside story were the close servants and secret guards who were familiar with Bai Xiao.
But they are very strict with their mouths, so this has become a mystery today.
The emperor's new adopted brother has married, but he doesn't know who the bride is.
It has also become a topic of conversation for the common people after dinner.
When the moon climbed into the sky, Chu Yunxi blew the note between his nose and looked at Jun Lingyun's two white eyebrows and a white beard.
"Pfft hahaha..."
She really couldn't help it. With Jun Lingyun's calm face, it was so funny!
"Hmm."
A piece of white paper was dipped in water by Jun Lingyun and pasted on Chu Yunxi's lips.
"Uh-huh!"
Chu Yunxi puffed out her cheeks and protested. Although she had just lost, she couldn't talk to her about it.
Jun Lingyun said calmly:
"There is no other place to post it, otherwise Xi'er won't be able to see the chessboard."
Chu Yunxi glanced at Xiaolian guiltily, and Xiaolian immediately held up the bronze mirror while holding back her laughter.
In the bronze mirror, Chu Yunxi's only two eyes were exposed.
She moved her gaze to Jun Lingyun's face again, and those three notes could only be regarded as very few.
Chu Yunxi moved her somewhat stiff neck and picked off the notes on her face one by one.
"I haven't played chess for a long time, and my hand is raw."
Jun Lingyun drank tea and smiled, seeing through it without saying anything.
Chu Yunxi looked at Jun Lingyun with white eyebrows, drinking tea gracefully, and laughed again.
The palace attendants almost suffered from internal injuries.
Early the next morning,
Bai Xiao then brought Mu Qier to kowtow to Jun Lingyun and Chu Yunxi and thank his master for the marriage.
Chu Yunxi took the opportunity to ask:
"Mu Qier, are you familiar with the three northern barbarian princesses? Can you tell me about the character of these three princesses?"
Mu Qier was grateful to Chu Yunxi for making her dream come true and becoming the bride of brother Muren, so she respectfully replied:
"Go back to the Queen."
Chu Yunxi interrupted her and said:
"It's time to call me the royal sister-in-law."
Mu Qier was stunned for a moment, looked at Bai Xiao and Jun Lingyun, and saw that neither of them objected, so he changed his words:
"The emperor, the emperor's sister-in-law."
Chu Yunxi smiled slightly, and Mu Qier continued to reply.
"The third princess of the Northern Barbarians is named Beiye Hongyao. The Northern Barbarians are good at fighting. Even the princess can ride a horse and shoot arrows. She can also fight with ordinary guards.
The third princess's temperament can be considered cheerful and kind to others, but I always feel that I can't get to know her deeply, and I can't explain why."
Chu Yunxi nodded. This was not surprising. The thoughts of the royal family could not be revealed on the surface.
"The biological mother of the third princess was originally the personal maid of the Queen of the Northern Barbarians. Later, she was favored by the Emperor of the Northern Barbarians and gave birth to the third princess and the seventh prince of the Northern Barbarians. She was promoted to noble concubine and was given the title Xin."
Mu Qier explained it in as much detail as possible, hoping to help Chu Yunxi. Chu Yunxi was thoughtful.
"Being from a humble background, but rising to a high position, is there a disagreement between Concubine Xin and the Queen?"
"The imperial sister-in-law is wise, that's true. They look like sisters on the outside, but secretly they have their own thoughts."
The corners of Chu Yunxi's lips curved slightly, this was interesting. Concubine Xin did not get along with the queen, but her daughter wanted to help the prince.
I don’t know how much of this is voluntary and how much is forced by circumstances.
Seeing that Chu Yunxi had finished asking questions, Jun Lingyun spoke.
"Bai Xiao, Mu Qi'er, I have something I want to leave to you and your wife to do."
"But according to the emperor's orders."
With Chu Yunxi's words of "royal sister-in-law", it became much smoother for them to call Jun Lingyun "royal brother". They respectfully waited for Jun Lingyun's next words.
