Wulin martial arts hegemony record

Chapter 309 Nacai Engagement
Xue Chang turned a blind eye to all of them. Since civilians without official status are not allowed to enter the sacred court meeting, under the signal of Zongzheng Siqing, he can only kneel down on the spot and bow and salute: "Xue Chang, the little man, thank the emperor for his kindness. !"

Xue Chang's words were prodded with inner strength. Under his intentional control, the voice was like a gust of spring wind, sweeping away all the noise in the hall, and it rang very clearly in everyone's ears, like a fish swimming. It got into my heart hard, but it made people feel stuffy.

Except for a very few knowledgeable ones, most officials didn't know how amazing Xue Chang's move was, but these words still shocked the officials in the hall, and the hall suddenly became extremely quiet.

Emperor Taixiang said: "I hope you can spend the rest of your life with the eldest princess in harmony! Get up!"

After Xue Chang got up, he followed Zong Zhengqing out of the palace gate.

Besides the palace gate, in addition to a carriage, there is also a dowry gift.Xue Chang brought his disciples to Luoyang to participate in the martial arts conference. How could he think that he would get married so soon, and he was busy with martial arts competitions every day, so he had no time to prepare, not to mention that he himself did not understand the wedding etiquette of this era at all. Concubine Liu Lingying thought of this, and when she heard the news that the emperor was going to marry her at the court meeting, she immediately asked her servants to make everything ready, and sent her to the Goddess Palace's mansion early this morning.

And now Xue Chang took this cart of betrothal gifts to the back door of the palace to welcome him into the royal family.The emperor's family is rich in the world, of course there is no shortage of dowry gifts, but this is a Han custom that has been passed down for thousands of years to show the importance that both parties attach to marriage and their best wishes for marriage. Even the royal family cannot save it.

After accepting the lottery, Xue Chang could not leave. According to the etiquette of marriage, he had to meet the woman's family, so after waiting outside the palace gate for more than half an hour, there was an old eunuch leading two eunuchs in the palace. come out.

Xue Chang saw that he was still an acquaintance, the eunuch accompanying the empress dowager Liu Lingying—— Wan Xiang, and the two eunuchs behind him walked steadily and vigorously, with bright eyes and bulging temples, obviously possessing good skills.

Wan Xiang showed the emperor's letter to the guards at the palace gate, and after a body search, Xue Chang was allowed to enter the palace.In fact, methods such as body searches and sending eunuchs with martial arts skills to guard him were meaningless to a master like Xue Chang, they were just routine procedures.

Stepping into the legendary palace, Xue Chang was still a little excited, but under Wan Xiang's reminder, he could only keep his eyes on the ground and avoid being regarded as frivolous by the palace people because of looking around.

I don't know how many gardens I walked through, how many pavilions I turned around, how many court ladies and eunuchs I met on the way, and finally came to a majestic palace, and women's voices could be heard from time to time in the palace.

Xue Chang looked up at the plaque above the gate of the palace, on which were written three big characters - Compassionate Palace.

"Your Majesty, Xue Chang is here!" Wan Xiang stood at the entrance of the hall and said with a bow.

"Let him in." Liu Lingying's voice sounded in the hall, and it suddenly became quiet inside.

Under Wan Xiang's instruction, Xue Chang lowered his head slightly, looked down, and walked slowly into the hall. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of four ladies in palace costumes sitting in the hall. He saluted the old lady sitting in the center and said, "Little Min Xue Chang pays homage to the empress dowager empress dowager!"

"You came late, you caused us to wait here for a long time, get over quickly." Liu Lingying revealed a sense of intimacy when she spoke, which made the other three women feel different immediately.

Xue Chang straightened his body, raised his head, and when he looked at Liu Lingying, he immediately felt a little different: the other person's eyes were clear and energetic, his face was flushed with radiance, the wrinkles on his face seemed to be less, and the roots of his temple hair were faintly growing. black……

"See it?" Liu Lingying smiled joyfully: "Since you taught that mysterious Taoist scripture, I haven't gone to the Cuju Club to watch the martial arts competition these few days. Got something to gain."

Liu Lingying said it modestly, but in fact, she gained more than a little bit. She has been stuck on the pass for the past ten years and has never made any progress. After all, she has studied Taoism and martial arts for most of her life, and she already has some vague concepts in her mind. The "Nine Yin Manual" 》The scriptures of the general outline helped her to clear away her confusion and hesitation at once, and illuminated the way forward, so she has been busy these few days refining and transforming her energy, and she did not hesitate to spend decades practicing hard while The majestic but heterogeneous internal force obtained by taking the elixir should be eliminated and transformed, and it has already achieved some results, and the vision that Xue Chang saw will appear.

"Congratulations to the Empress Dowager!" Xue Chang sincerely congratulated, "This is the result of my empress's years of painstaking practice. The younger generation dare not take credit for it!"

What Xue Chang said was true, but Liu Lingying smiled even more after hearing this, pointed to the left side, and said: "This is the empress dowager of the current dynasty, the aunt of the eldest princess, come and see me soon!"

During this period of time spending time with the girls in the Goddess Palace, Xue Chang can be considered to understand the real reason why Luo Lanmeng, as a disciple of the Goddess Palace, became the eldest princess. There is no small grievance, Xue Chang controlled his emotions, and went forward to pay respects as calmly as possible: "Xiaomin Xue Chang pays homage to the empress dowager!"

Empress Dowager Jiang looked at Xue Chang in front of her with a complicated expression: This person is the chief culprit for her nephew's inability to become a son-in-law, but as the dignified empress dowager, she has nothing to do with him, because the empress dowager defends him, the emperor She also valued him, even her father, the Duke of Yue, Jiang Mu, brought her a message yesterday, telling her that "the son-in-law chosen by the emperor has become a warrior to protect the country at such a young age, and he will definitely be the one in the martial arts world in the future." Niu Er, the situation in the north is tense now, and Jun'er is likely to be sent out to lead troops to fight in the future, so it is best to make friends with him'...

Empress Dowager Jiang thought about it a thousand times, and said lightly: "Excuse me, let's get down."

Then Xue Chang paid respects to Empress Lin and Concubine Liu Gui respectively.

According to the wedding custom, the future son-in-law came to visit her natal family to chat about the family affairs, so Liu Lingying smiled and said to the eunuch beside her, "Move him a chair."

The chair was brought, and Xue Chang sat down.

Liu Lingying asked kindly, "Who else is there in your family?"

When she asked this question, Empress Lin was a little puzzled, and when Concubine Liu Guifei saw this, she whispered a few words to her.Unlike Empress Lin, who came from a scholarly family, Concubine Liu Gui, the daughter of the Duke of Qin, knew more about martial arts, and even asked her younger brother Liu Yanjin to inquire about Xue Chang's life experience.

Knowing that Xue Chang was the victim of the hot spring post murder that shocked the court the year before last, Empress Lin understood why the empress dowager asked such a question, and she couldn't help showing pity in her eyes.

"There is also an aunt, a younger sister, and the old housekeeper whom Xiaomin regards as elders." Xue Chang replied seriously: "In addition, those apprentices of Xiaomin can be regarded as relatives."

The empress dowager continued with a little apology: "The time for this big wedding is relatively tight, mainly because the emperor always pays attention to promises and wants to fulfill them in time, so as to avoid causing dissatisfaction to the heads of various martial arts factions who attended the palace banquet that night. Good impression. In addition, the birth date of you and the eldest princess has been tested by Qin Tianjian using Ziwei Doushu. July [-]th is an auspicious day for you two, so it was set on that day. But , In this way, your aunt may not be able to keep up with this big wedding."

Xue Chang didn't have much to say about this.

"I heard from the eldest princess that you met her during the Ping-Qiang War, and you saved her life, didn't you?" Concubine Liu Gui asked curiously.

"No, it was actually the eldest princess who saved Xiaomin's life first." Xue Chang corrected.

"Oh, who saved whose life, can you tell me in detail?" Concubine Liu Gui was even more curious, and even Empress Lin showed an expression of interest. Sure enough, all women love to gossip, no matter how noble their status is.

Xue Chang had no choice but to briefly tell the story of his acquaintance with Luo Lanmeng, omitting those unsuitable plots of course.

..........................................................................................

At this time, Luo Lanmeng was strolling in the imperial garden with her maid, but she was surrounded by exotic flowers and plants competing for beauty. Not only was Luo Lanmeng not intoxicated, but she was a little absent-minded. Finally, she couldn't help asking: "Xiyue , Xue Lang entered the palace to accept the lottery today, so he should meet the emperor's grandmother, right?"

The maid named Xiyue responded: "According to the time, I should have seen you already."

Luo Lanmeng immediately turned around and walked back, saying: "I'll take a look, I'll take a look quietly and then come back."

Xiyue immediately knelt down on the ground with a plop, and begged: "Princess, it is a rule that a man and a woman are not allowed to meet before the big wedding! Besides, the Empress Dowager is very powerful, so no matter how secretive you are, princess, don't try to hide it from her old man. When the punishment of the empress dowager comes down, the servants... the servants may no longer be able to serve the princess!"

Xiyue has been assigned to Yaohua Palace for less than a year, but Luo Lanmeng is kind by nature, if she punishes herself, she will not be afraid, but if this person who has been serving her wholeheartedly so that she does not feel lonely in the palace Maid, Luo Lanmeng couldn't bear it, stomped her feet a little anxiously and said: "Okay, get up, I won't go."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a large silver-gray rhododendron wagging its tail and chirping on the top of a crabapple tree next to it.

Luo Lanmeng felt inexplicably displeased, tapped her toes lightly, and performed the Light Kung Fu of Nearly Close to the End of the World, and flew to the crabapple tree in an instant.

Huan, who was screaming, was suddenly pinched by someone, and was so frightened that he even forgot to peck people with its sharp beak.

Luo Lan dreamed of the dumb cuckoo in his hand, so she couldn't help smiling, and tapped its head with her fingers: "Don't bark like crazy next time, you know." After speaking, he opened his palm, and the big cuckoo immediately flapped its wings, Fleeing also like flying without a trace.

Luo Lanmeng clapped her hands, and her body lightly fell to the ground.
