Chapter 127 Chapter 127 Big Marriage

The wedding of the princes of the Qing Dynasty was very grand. On the day of their marriage, the eighth elder brother was wearing a mang robe to make up his clothes. He first went to the Qianqing Palace to kowtow three times and kowtow nine times to Kangxi, and then went to the Chengqian Palace to kneel twice and kowtow six times with Concubine Liang. Eight palanquins wrapped in red satin prepared by Luan Yiwei went out of the palace to marry Fujin. Needless to say, the festive and lively journey along the way, from the Gege mansion to marry Fujin back to the palace, the team went all the way to the Yongshou Palace which was used as a new house, and all the guards of honor were withdrawn.There were already female officials waiting outside the palace gate, waiting for Fujin to get off the sedan chair and lead him into the palace...

By the time the wedding ceremony was completed, it was already late at night.The maid in the room smiled, put down the bright red dragon and phoenix wedding tent, and then quietly exited the room. The eighth elder brother smiled, glanced at "Qingchuan" in front of him, held her hand, and said softly, "We are finally together." Huaying smiled charmingly, lowered her head and said in a low voice: "I will take good care of Eighth Brother in the future." As soon as these words came out, the eighth elder brother was taken aback, looking at Huaying quite unexpectedly.

Unaware of Huaying, she lowered her head and went forward to unbutton Eighth Brother's clothes, and said respectfully: "Eighth Brother, I will wait for you to rest." This kind of "Qingchuan" made Eighth Brother have some weird feelings in his heart. He reached out and clasped Huaying's hand, and after a pause, he said, "No hurry, let's talk." Seeing him like this, Hua Ying was also startled, she was afraid that she was too eager to show her flaws, she paused, calmed down, asked him with a light smile: "What do you want to say, Brother Eight?"

Brother Eight thought for a while and replied, "Let's talk about the past." Huaying smiled, glanced at him, and said coquettishly: "What's more, you were so bad before, you beat me to death. If I wasn't smart, I would have died long ago." Hearing what she said, the eighth elder brother settled down for a while, and secretly thought that he was too suspicious, Qingchuan was just Qingchuan, so vividly in front of him, why did he suddenly think wildly?Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He reached out and took the person in front of him into his arms, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I will make it up to you in the future."

With the beauty in his arms, the faint fragrance lingered in his nose, he was a little stunned, the smell on his body didn't seem like Qingchuan's, what was going on?Was he too nervous, or... Eighth Prince raised his head and looked at "Qingchuan" in front of him inquisitively. Huaying raised her heart that had just been put down, and couldn't help but ask, "Eighth Brother, what's wrong with you?" The eighth elder brother looked at her for a while, but smiled lightly, and replied: "It's nothing, maybe because I'm too tired today, I can't breathe. I want to go for a walk, you won't be angry, will you?"

Huaying's heart was beating fast, but she still had a gentle look on her face, and she shook her head. The eighth elder brother got up and got out of the bed and walked out. When he reached the door, he couldn't help turning his head to look at "Qingchuan" on the bed. She will definitely get angry when Ye leaves, but why is this Qingchuan still so quiet and obedient? He was puzzled, paused, turned around and hurried out of the room. Huaying in the room was also full of doubts, wondering where he had exposed his flaws, why did he leave in such a hurry? The eighth elder brother did not return all night after he left, and everyone in the palace felt very strange when they saw that the eighth elder brother had left Fujin to go to the study on the wedding night, so they couldn't help discussing in private.When the news reached Chengqian Palace, Concubine Liang called the eighth elder brother and asked, "What's the matter? Newlywed, why are you still angry with your wife?"

The eighth elder brother asked her: "Emiang, do you think there are two identical faces in this world?" Concubine Liang was taken aback by his question, "Why do you ask that?" Brother Eight thought for a while, and replied: "I don't know why, but I always feel that the one who married me yesterday was not Qingchuan." Concubine Liang wondered: "Who is it not Qingchuan? Didn't you come here with you this morning to kowtow to me?" Eighth Brother shook his head lightly, "I don't know either." Concubine Liang couldn't help laughing, and said: "Son, is it because you are too nervous that you are thinking wildly."

Brother Ba said: "I hope so too, but there are many things that don't make sense. For example, Qingchuan used to be careless, and her temper was fearless when she came up, but now the bride is docile and well-behaved. It's like a different person. And the smell on her body has also changed suddenly." Concubine Liang smiled and said: "From a young girl to a wife, there may be some changes in temperament. Besides, the smell, if you use different powders, the smell on your body will naturally be different. There is no reason for this." ?” Eighth Prince naturally knew that what Concubine Liang said made sense, but for some reason, when he faced this Qingchuan, he always felt like getting along with a stranger.

Concubine Liang patted Eighth Prince's arm gently, and persuaded: "Women, it is inevitable that there will be differences before and after marriage. In the future, it will be even more different when you have children. Since you are married to her, you have to adapt to her various ways. Just like she has to adapt to your various differences. Don’t sleep in the study tonight, go back, don’t let Qingchuan have a lump in her heart, it’s not good for you to live in the future.” The eighth elder brother was silent for a moment, smiled, and replied: "I know how to do it, so don't worry, Er Niang."

For the next few days, the eighth elder brother still stayed in the study every night on the grounds that he was busy with business.Seeing him like this, Huaying couldn't hold back anymore, and secretly sent a message to Brother Thirteen, asking him to help him think of a way to win Brother Eighth's trust.Elder Brother Thirteen lives in the palace, and he is generous and generous on weekdays. Many court ladies and eunuchs are willing to listen to him.Within a few days, he sent a message to Huaying, asking her if she had ever seen a pair of beautifully crafted embroidered shoes in the cage. It was specially made by the eighth elder brother for Qingchuan by Shang Yijian before, and the little eunuch sent it over. At the time, Eighth Prince was quarreling with Qingchuan, and almost burned the shoes in a fit of anger.

After hearing this, Huaying hurriedly opened Qingchuan's carry-on box and searched carefully. Sure enough, she found the pair of shoes at the bottom of the box. Although there were obvious traces of fire, they were very well kept.Huaying thought for a while, and immediately came up with an idea. One day, when the eighth elder brother came back, she deliberately sat by the bed and stared at the pair of shoes in a daze. The eighth elder brother came in from the outside and saw that she was sitting by the bed and did not respond, so he couldn't help asking: "What are you in a daze for?" Hua Ying seemed to be startled by him, and the pair of embroidered shoes in her hand dropped to the ground. The eighth elder brother stepped forward lightly, bent down and picked up the shoes, and saw that there were burnt marks on the corners of the embroidered shoes, which were exactly the pair Qingchuan gave her when he was in Xinzheku.He froze, looked up at Huaying, and asked softly, "Why do you still keep these shoes?" Huaying snatched the pair of shoes from his hand, carefully wrapped them with silk and satin, and then said: "I don't want to throw them away, as soon as I see them, I will think of how kind you are to me." Brother Ba looked at her quietly for a moment, then suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I shouldn't doubt you." Huaying didn't speak, and let him hug her, but there was a relieved smile in his eyes. Concubine Liang has always been worried about the matter between Eighth Prince and Qingchuan, and she was happy when she heard that the two had reconciled as before, so she took it as a joke and told Kangxi about it.Kangxi laughed for a while when he heard this, stopped to look at Concubine Liang, and said, "In a few days it will be the anniversary of the death of the Empress Dowager. In the past, I would go to the Ancestral Temple alone. This year, I want to ask Lao Ba to go together. You How do you feel?" Concubine Liang was taken aback when she heard that, usually only the crown prince can go to worship ancestors, but Kangxi actually asked Lao Ba to go with him, is this implying something?She thought for a while, and replied: "The emperor dotes on him too much, and this concubine thinks it's inappropriate." Kangxi saw her thoughts and said with a smile: "Lao Ba has done a good job recently. I always reward and punish him clearly, and it is right to give him some honor. Besides, how do you know that he can't be the crown prince?" Concubine Liang lowered her eyes and replied: "The concubine comes from a humble background, so I dare not have such extravagant hopes." Kangxi took a deep look at her, and said, "When I set up an heir in the Qing Dynasty, I mainly pay attention to talents, and it has nothing to do with birth." He said, and turned to Li Dequan, "Go and pass on my oral order, and ask the eighth elder brother to accompany me to go. The Taimiao worships the ancestors." Li Dequan hurriedly responded, and retreated respectfully. Kangxi looked at Concubine Liang again, seeing her worried face, he comforted her with a smile and said: "I think this old eighth is the only one among my sons. I think he has a bright future." Concubine Liang didn't feel any joy at all, she secretly thought that even if everything is fine today, she will be just a prisoner in the future, who can say for sure what happens in the palace? Besides, when Li Dequan went to Yongshou Palace to deliver Kangxi's oral order, the eighth elder brother was a little surprised after hearing it. After sending Li Dequan back, Huaying greeted him from the inner hall, and asked with concern: "What's the matter? What is the emperor's intention?" ?” The eighth elder brother told her what Kangxi meant, Huaying rolled her eyes and said, "This is a good thing." The eighth elder brother smiled and nodded, and said with a smile: "If I become the prince, you will be the princess in the future." Hua Ying's heart moved when she heard this, and she asked, "When are you going? Are you going to bring a lot of people with you?" The eighth elder brother heard that she misunderstood that she wanted to go with him, so he couldn't help but smiled, and replied: "Huang Ama doesn't intend to disturb the people around, and only brings a small number of guards with him in plain clothes, Qingchuan, please stay quiet You can't follow this time, Huang Ama will be angry when she finds out. If you want to leave the palace, I will take you out when I have time." Huaying glanced at him and said: "Brother Ba, do you think I'm so ignorant? I'm just worried about your safety. If you ask me, it's better to divide the people into two groups, and the first group will walk in front with empty sedan chairs to cover you." Eyes and ears, you and Huang Ama ride behind, so that if something happens, you can have a contingency."
