Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Five Lovers Get Married
The wedding of Zheng Binghong and the eldest princess caused a sensation in the capital and was extremely lively. The emperor and the queen mother issued separate decrees to reward the wedding.
Coupled with the connections that the Yiyong Houfu had accumulated in the court over the years, the banquet was all white on the wedding day.
Shangguan Wan Ning came to the eldest princess's mansion with her parents to have a wedding banquet. She watched her mother's health getting better day by day, especially this happy event, which made her mother look radiant.
But……
"Ning'er, go quickly and say hello to your uncle."
"ah?"
Faced with her mother's urging, Shangguan Wan Ning felt guilty. "Mom, I... I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. You and dad go over first, and I'll come back later."
"Do you want to see the government doctor?"
"No need," Shangguan Wan Ning waved her hands repeatedly, leading Lu Tong into the crowd and walking towards the secluded garden.
"Miss, do you plan to keep putting it off like this? My uncle will come looking for you sooner or later."
Lu Tong knew what Shangguan Wan Ning was hiding. After all, it was she who lied to the eldest princess.
"Forget it, it's only a day as long as you can hide. Anyway, uncle will definitely have no time to talk to me today, as long as I don't appear in front of him."
Shangguan Wan Ning took Lu Tong away from the crowd and wandered in the garden when they heard low voices coming from behind the rockery.
Out of curiosity, she quietly approached.
"Xiao Yan, you know how I feel about you." Xiao Yujue held Mu Jingyan's hand and said softly, "Your brother is back now, so let me propose marriage to him in person, okay?"
Shangguan Wan Ning looked at Mu Jingyan's shy look through the gap and couldn't help but sigh silently in her heart.
She remembered that Mu Jingyan and Xiao Yujue did get together in the last life, but Mu Jingyan was not good at fighting in the inner curtains.
When the hot relationship between the two subsided, Mu Jingyan was not happy at all.
"Ask him yourself..." Mu Jingyan avoided Xiao Yujue's gaze and blushed on his face.
The desire in Xiao Yujue's heart gradually spread, and she leaned over and kissed Mu Jingyan's lips gently.
Shangguan Wan Ning's face turned red with embarrassment and she stepped back cautiously.
At this time, footsteps were heard from the other side. She looked back and glanced behind the rockery, her heart tightened, and she immediately walked towards the footsteps.
I saw Shen Jieyu from the palace, leading some officials' ladies and ladies, walking in talking and laughing.
"Xiaoxiao, the place you recommended is really right. It turns out that the best scenery in the eldest princess's mansion is here."
Shen Jieyu looked forward, and saw a whole sea of flowers blooming one after another, and the air was filled with bursts of fragrance.
Shangguan Wan Ning saw Crown Princess You Zhenzhen at a glance.
Now the trouble is big.
"Hey, Miss Shangguan is here too?" Shen Jieyu said with a smile, "As expected of half a young lady from the eldest princess's mansion, she knows where the most comfortable place is in her own home. But it's just for one person, so we won't be invited."
Shangguan Wan Ning stepped forward and saluted, her expression unchanged.
"Wan Ning is so polite. You have really wronged me. It's not that I am hiding anything. It's just that the eldest princess specifically told me not to let guests enter this garden today under any circumstances."
"Why?"
"The eldest princess said that she purchased a batch of flowers and trees from other places a few days ago. She originally wanted to enjoy them. However, every time she stayed in the garden, she would be covered with small red bumps and itchy. The doctor said,
It’s pollen allergy.”
When everyone heard this, they all subconsciously stepped back.
"Since pollen can cause allergies, why does sister come here?" Shangguan Xiaoxiao asked coldly.
After her mother's death, she and Shangguan Wan Ning had completely broken up and no longer had any taboos.
Shangguan Wan Ning smiled sweetly.
"I have just arrived, and on the order of the eldest princess, I want to seal the garden."
"In that case, let's go." Shen Jieyu didn't want to have any problems with her body.
Seeing that everyone was about to turn around and leave, Shangguan Xiaoxiao bumped into Shen Jieyu calmly.
"Please forgive me Jieyu," Shangguan Xiaoxiao immediately knelt down to apologize.
"It's okay." Although Shen Jieyu was angry, she always maintained her demeanor in front of everyone.
"Jieyu, your shoes are stained with mud. I'm afraid you'll lose your dignity if you go out like this." Shangguan Xiaoxiao reminded, "There is clear water over there at the rockery. Why don't you go over and clean the soles of your shoes?"
Shangguan Wan Ning's heart skipped a beat.
She felt that Shangguan Xiaoxiao seemed to know that there was someone hiding behind the rockery. Could it be...
If anyone sees it, Mu Jingyan's reputation will be ruined.
"It's better to go to the guest room to change a pair." Shangguan Wan Ning stepped forward to help Shen Jieyu and said with a smile, "The embroiderers in the eldest princess's mansion are all carefully selected."
Shen Jieyu was still more willing to get close to Shangguan Wanning, and was about to lead everyone away when suddenly, there was a strange noise from the rockery.
Two stones flew over from two directions, collided in the air, broke apart, and fell to the ground.
For a moment, there was silence, and the air seemed to freeze.
"There is someone behind the rockery..." Shangguan Xiaoxiao shouted loudly.
Everyone's eyes turned to the rockery.
"Yes, there must be an assassin. Everyone, run away."
Shangguan Wan Ning also shouted along with Shangguan Xiaoxiao's thoughts. All the women present were frightened when they heard that there was an assassin, and they all fled away with the help of their maids.
Only Shangguan Xiaoxiao stood there for a moment and then rushed towards the rockery.
Shangguan Wan Ning immediately stood in front of her.
"What do you want to do?" Shangguan Xiaoxiao asked.
"I should ask you this." Shangguan Wan Ning looked at her coldly and said, "I don't care what you want to do, in short, your audience has already left. If you don't want to get burned, it's best to leave immediately. "
Shangguan Xiaoxiao looked around and realized that he was really alone.
Her mission failed again.
When she thought about what she would face when she returned, she trembled all over and shouted angrily: "Shangguan Wan Ning, why do you have to go against me everywhere?"
"Because I'm nice to you, but you won't appreciate it. You're just a white-eyed wolf who's not familiar with me."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao was so angry that she was shaking all over. She knew that she couldn't fight Shangguan Wan Ning now, so she could only glare at her angrily and walk away.
Shangguan Wan Ning guessed that the guards would arrive soon, so she left immediately, giving Xiao Yujue and Mu Jingyan time to escape gracefully.
She returned to the banquet gloomily. Madam Shangguan saw this and asked softly: "Ning'er, what's wrong with you?"
"Mom, I'm fine."
Shangguan Wan Ning forced out a smile and saw Mu Jingyan walking in from the corner of her eye and sitting down at another table.
Until the end of the banquet, Shangguan Wan Ning did not find a chance to speak to Mu Jingyan alone.
It was getting dim the next day, and the sleeping capital was awakened by the rapid sound of a gong.
Eight hundred miles of urgent documents were delivered to the palace, and a haze enveloped the entire court.
