Abandoned woman's glory

Chapter 179 His wedding 2
But I was even more shocked than her in my heart, and subconsciously glanced around.

The whole wedding banquet suddenly fell silent, everyone's eyes turned to this place, looking at the three of us, I looked outside again, the sky had already darkened, but the dark sky was reflected by the brightly lit Nangong Mansion Brilliant red, as if the sky is never dark.

I thought about it and stood up hastily.

Nangong Yu hurried up, looked at the fragments on the ground, then at Guan Guan and Xi Yuying, and then smiled at me, "Forgive me, Queen Mother, it's my fault for not greeting you properly."

"Master Nangong doesn't need to blame himself, I didn't blame Mr. Nangong."

I smiled naturally: "It's just that I heard that the back garden of Nangong Mansion is set up according to the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, which is very different from the scenery in other places in Zhaoye. I want to take a look."

"It turns out that the queen mother is still so elegant, so let the old minister—"

"No need." I smiled and said, "I still like to enjoy the scenery alone."

"Oh." Nangong Yu looked at me, his eyes were obviously thinking about something, but he seemed to be unable to figure out anything about my calm lake-like smile, so he smiled and turned sideways: "Please, Queen Mother."

I smiled, made a casual gesture to the others, and walked towards the garden behind the wedding banquet.

Walking out of an arch along the small path at the back door, what you see head-on is a city that never sleeps.

The rumors are true. The gardens of Nangong Mansion are indeed the essence of Jiangnan gardens. The pavilions are exquisite and the pavilions are exquisite. All the trees and corridors are hung with lanterns. The shadows are like stars, and the reflections of the lights are reflected in the flowing water surrounding the garden. In it, like a galaxy.

I walked slowly to a small bridge, looked around, and the surroundings were peaceful.

It seems that there is nothing wrong.

Only then did I feel relieved, and looked at a river of stars in the flowing water under the bridge, sparkling and dazzing, I stood quietly for a long time before turning around and leaving.

But as soon as he turned around, he saw a graceful figure slowly approaching in the night, and the familiar voice whispered in his ear again: "It seems that this star is not from last night, for whom is the wind and dew standing in the middle of the night?"

off off.

I'm not surprised that she came, I know we shouldn't just become strangers like this.

I just don't know why she came here.

In the blink of an eye, she had already walked in front of me, looked down at my slightly swollen belly, and said, "I didn't expect that your identity has changed so much in just a few months, and you're even pregnant."

For some reason, I feel that there seems to be some faint deep meaning in her words.

"What does Miss Guan Guan want to say?"

"I heard that he is the late emperor's posthumous son?"

It is said that?These two words especially stimulated me at this time, especially the speculative look on her face, especially when I thought of that night, Ling Shaoyang was obviously having a drink with her, but he ran to Yanfu Palace in the middle of the night to rape me , I bit my lower lip, and said sharply: "I am the Empress Dowager Yongjia, and of course I am pregnant with the flesh and blood of the former emperor!"

"That's right, the empress dowager and the former emperor are so affectionate, it's really touching. But—" she glanced at me: "The former prince Jian Guo also seemed to have a very deep affection for the empress."

"..."

"I remember when the Empress Dowager had an accident at the racecourse, the Prince Jian Guo was so nervous, as if he wanted to kill someone. I have never seen a man be so nervous for a woman."

I clenched my fists, resisting a stabbing pain in my chest.

But this kind of pain, compared with the pain of leaving outside Shangyang City step by step, is really insignificant.

"I think, the prince should admire the queen mother very much."

"..."

"I just don't know—" Guan Guan rolled his eyes and looked at my pale face: "If he knew that the Queen Mother only wanted the late emperor and was pregnant with the late emperor's child, but he couldn't even leave a trace of blood, would he You will be under the Nine Springs, and you will not be able to rest in peace."

This is the deepest pain in my heart.

After this child was born, there is really no way to reveal his identity. He can only be the posthumous son of the late emperor. Otherwise, if this court scandal spreads, not only my reputation, but that of Chu Feng and the dead person will also be irreparable. .

At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew, which made me wake up suddenly, and there seemed to be footsteps in the wind.

I looked back cautiously, it was pitch black, and there was no one there, maybe it was my illusion, but that's okay, I don't want to get entangled in this matter any longer.

So, I said coldly: "What Miss Guan Guan wants to say tonight, let's stop here. I am the Empress Dowager Yongjia, and I only have the first emperor in my heart from the beginning to the end. I love him and think of him. I can't forget him." It's also him, please stop thinking about him, Miss Guan Guan."

After finishing speaking, I nodded slightly, turned and walked towards the wedding banquet.

At the wedding banquet, there was still a scene of interlacing wine, singing and dancing, and the atmosphere had reached its peak. People coming and going had a hint of drunkenness on their faces, talking and laughing loudly, and even Wei Yusheng's group slowly slowed down. They changed their expressions and became harmonious.

I sat back in my seat, feeling a little weak.

Shaoyu seemed to see something, turned sideways and said softly: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"fine."

"If—" he looked at me with a complicated expression: "If you really can't make it through, go back, and I will send someone to take you off."

Seeing his cautious look, I smiled in my heart. I know that everyone has such thoughts. The difference is that some people are concerned, some are contemptuous, and some are hating. If the relationship between me and Nangong is true If you want to break it, you can only break it clearly tonight.

So, I said calmly, "I said it's fine."

At this time, Yu Sui'er said softly beside him: "What's the matter? I saw that the bridegroom disappeared just now. Now the auspicious time has come, why hasn't he appeared yet?"

The groom is missing?I was a little surprised, but when I looked up, I saw the back door of the wedding banquet, where I went to the garden just now, and that familiar figure slowly walked over from the night.

Nangong Mizhen was still dressed in bright red, but his complexion became even paler.

Nangong Yu walked up to him and lowered his voice, "Where have you been?"

"..."

He didn't say a word, just looked at the ground blankly. After a while, he slowly raised his head, made a relieved smile, and said: "Let uncle worry. The auspicious time has come, nephew is here Go to worship hall."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards the back hall without looking back, leaving only a windy figure behind.

Guan Guan also came back, and I noticed that her fair face was slightly flushed, and even the corners of her eyes were a little red, as if she had discovered some secret and was excited.

After a while, the master of ceremonies said loudly: "The auspicious time has come!"

Immediately everyone raised their heads and looked at the other end of the wedding banquet. Sina was holding a red flower in his hand, and the other end of the red silk was held by a pair of white and slender hands, and slowly followed him up.

Shui Xunyou, she is also wearing a phoenix crown and Xiapei. The Yin Hong wedding dress conceals her exquisite figure, but it cannot conceal her amazing beauty. The golden crown on her head is very luxurious, and the hanging bead curtain blocks her beautiful face. And some faintly revealed, people can't take their eyes off.

She was led by Nangong Mizhen all the way to the front of the wedding hall, the heaven and the earth monarchs, the red candles were shining, and they knelt down slowly under the congratulatory sound of the master of ceremonies——

A worship of heaven and earth.

Two worship the high hall.

Husband and wife say goodbye...

After these three prostrations, the bride and groom should have been sent to the bridal chamber, but tonight Shaoyu and I were both present, with different identities, so the bride and groom skipped the ceremony and came to toast us and all the guests one by one.

For the first cup, they toasted Shaoyu. I know that Shaoyu has always been quite dissatisfied with Nangong, but after all, tonight is a beautiful day, and it is inconvenient for him to have a fit. After drinking that glass of wine, he calmly sat aside.

Then, the couple walked up to me.

In an instant, the entire wedding banquet fell silent. Hundreds of pairs of eyes all looked at the three of us at this moment, watching quietly with different emotions.

I got up and looked at them with a smile, and Nangong also took her wife and looked at me with a smile.

A white marble round cup was offered in front of me, I gently picked it up, looked at those familiar eyes, they were a little red reflected by the surrounding redness, but his face was so calm that it was almost Cruel smile.

Handsome, like a knife.

"Empress Dowager," he looked into my eyes, and said word by word: "Tonight is a beautiful day, and my minister embraced the beauty back home. I would also like to thank the Empress Dowager for bestowing the marriage to Xunyou for the last general. The emperor dare not forget this kindness. A glass of water and wine, to the Queen Mother."

I raised my glass and drank with him.

The wine was not strong, but after drinking it, it was like drinking a ball of fire, which burned from my mouth to my heart, and an unspeakable pain rose up, as if to tear my body apart.

Enduring the pain, I looked up at him. Although it was difficult to speak, I insisted on saying: "General Nangong, the king of the world has all the blessings and wisdom, and the mandarin ducks have cultivated to the point of being a god. , lovers finally get married, it is - a great beauty in the world, and this palace is also happy to see it."

After speaking, I put down the empty jade cup in my hand, picked up another porcelain cup full of wine on the table, and walked in front of Shui Xunyou.

Her face was still pale, but the two-way indifferent eyes seemed to be softened into autumn water by the man beside her that night, and she looked so gentle through the candlelight. I smiled and said, "Water—no, it's Nangong." lady."

Hearing these four words, Nangong seemed to tremble slightly, Shui Xunyou glanced at him, then raised his head to look at me: "The Empress Dowager."

"General Nangong is a great hero of this dynasty, and he has made great contributions to this palace several times—"

I suddenly couldn't speak anymore.

These words, obviously I have thought about them countless times before, and I have said them countless times in my heart, but at this moment, the pain in my heart is far beyond what I can imagine, my fingertips are turning pale, and even the wine in my glass is overflowing.

Nangong looked at me, and there was something flickering in that calm gaze.

I took a deep breath and forgot everything I could think of in my mind. At this moment, I can only say what is in my heart——

"Madam Nangong, take good care of him."

Compared with the colorful flowers before, the end of this sentence is too simple and too hasty. People around are looking at us, discussing something vaguely, but I have already toasted with Shui Xunyou with a smile and drank it. that glass of wine.

After drinking this cup, they should continue to respect Xi Yuying next to me. I turned my face away indifferently, and was about to sit down when I suddenly felt dizzy——

"careful!"

A familiar voice rang in my ears, and I felt my body fall into a familiar chest, and my hand, as well as the cup that almost fell from my hand, were also tightly grasped by a big warm hand Living.

Looking up, he met those dark eyes.

The entire wedding banquet was in an uproar!
I opened my eyes wide and looked at him, he himself seemed to be taken aback, and was completely stunned there, until Shaoyu came to his senses, pulled him away, and protected me behind him, the two of them still couldn't recover.

"Queen Mother, are you alright?" Shaoyu looked at me with sweat on his forehead, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"No, it's fine."

I shook my head, avoiding his eyes, but I couldn't avoid the fiery gaze of the other person, as well as the hundreds of pairs of shocked eyes around me. Looking at this scene, it seemed like I was seeing some incredible vision.

And Shui Xunyou, from the beginning to the end, just stood there quietly, not knowing the expression on that beautiful face behind the swaying bead curtain.

Shaoyu said with concern: "The Queen Mother is not feeling well, it is better to go back to the palace to rest earlier. After all - the child needs to recuperate."

It was only at this time that I came back to my senses, looking at my empty hand, the wine glass had been taken away by Nangong when he was supporting me, and I was suddenly annoyed.

Nangong Yu looked at us, suddenly smiled, turned to the guests and said, "Everyone, go ahead, you're welcome."

These words undoubtedly thawed out the frozen scene, and everyone started punching and drinking again, but I could vaguely hear some discussions——

"Child? Who knows whose child it is?"

"That's right. The late emperor's health has been bad. Can he really leave this posthumous child? Is it someone else's bastard?"

"Both of them eloped to Dadukou and were caught back. Who knows - can they be clean?"

"Shh, be quiet..."

He glanced at me with a pale face, but he didn't say anything after all, and turned around to think about Xi Yuying's toast, but just when the couple walked in front of Xi Yuying, Guan Guan, who had been watching coldly, stood up.

"The empress dowager's complexion is so bad, is it because the child in her stomach is a little restless?"

As soon as she spoke, everyone fell silent again.

I looked up at her with a worried expression, wondering what she was going to say?
She walked up to me and said with a smile: "That's right, when the fetus reaches five months, it should be the time when the fetus moves the most. Looking at the waist of the queen mother, it should be more than five months pregnant."

"..." My heart was already clenched.

"However, more than five months ago, wasn't it when the first emperor was backfired by the medicine and was cultivating his body and mind in the Yanfu Palace. Didn't the child, the empress, have it at that time?"

My body was trembling, and I wanted to tell her to shut up, but my throat seemed to be strangled by an invisible hand, and I couldn't speak.

The people around were all stunned in shock at this moment, and sighed in astonishment.

"Besides, Guan Guan seems to remember that the night before the empress was kidnapped by the Xuanwu people, the crown prince of Jian Guo broke into the Yanfu Hall drunk, and all the people who followed were blocked outside and could not enter, and the empress— —” There was a needle-like prick in her eyes, and she looked at us: “Your cries and pleadings have been ringing all night long!”

"Snapped!"

With an ear-piercing shattering sound, the wine glass was crushed in Nangong's hands, and blood and wine splashed all over him.

His eyes were red, and he stared at me fiercely: "He—he didn't come to you?!"

Fortunately?It turns out that he has been because Ling Shaoyang took advantage of his power and status to get lucky with me?
I smiled sadly, and tears welled up in my eyes.

Unexpectedly, this secret that I was determined to hide for the rest of my life was locked up in broad daylight without any scruples, as if I was stripped naked in front of everyone, exposing my greatest shame to everyone, I gritted my teeth , turning his head to look at her fiercely.

But she was still looking at us, her eyes were cold, and she seemed to have a triumphant sneer.

But—I don't know if it's my illusion, but I don't think she's looking at me.

At this time, Nangong trembled a little, as if he couldn't believe it: "He, why would he do this? He is not such a person! Why did he treat you—"

He is not such a person?
But he did!
Bearing hundreds of pairs of eyes with deep meaning, I felt that my soul was about to be crushed. I staggered and took a step back, and was firmly caught by a pair of hands. Looking back, it was Shaoyu, his face His face was also pale, and those tiger eyes suddenly seemed afraid to look at me, and could only look down at the ground.

He also felt that such a scandal would be hard to tolerate in the world.

Just when the scene was so stiff that it couldn't get any more stiff, a figure suddenly walked out and walked up to Guan Guan. With a "slap", a heavy slap was slapped on her face.

Taking a closer look, it turned out to be Xi Yuying.

Her face was almost blue, her shrewd and introverted eyes were bloodshot and red, she was staring at Guan Guan, as if she wished to kill her immediately, but Guan Guan was hit by this palm, the corners of her mouth were cracked, but Not angry at all, he spat out a mouthful of blood, turned his head to look at her, and smiled mockingly.

"your Highness."

Xi Yuying looked at her, gritted her silver teeth, and said bitterly, "Shui-Ming-Ji!"

Watching this scene, I suddenly understood something.

Guan Guan said this matter, her purpose is not to hit me, I am not her target, I am just her means, what she really wants to deal with is Xi Yuying!
Xi Yuying has a deep affection for Ling Shaoyang. From the first day we met, she has been implying that I am not good enough for Ling Shaoyang. Maybe this is a kind of comfort from her heart and affection, which is understandable. When Ling Shaoyang told me about the violence that night, she was undoubtedly the one who hurt me the most!
But——Why did Guan Guan do this?
The Shui family is a well-known family in the White Tiger Country, and Shui Xunyou has a very close relationship with Xi Yuying, why should she have such great hostility towards Xi Yuying, and even use such methods to hurt her?

Is it her personal behavior or the behavior of the Shui family when she does these things? !
A series of questions popped into my mind, and I couldn't tell the difference for a while, so I could only watch the two women confront each other coldly.

At this moment, a Yin Hong figure slowly walked over and walked in front of them.

The water seeks seclusion.

She glanced at Guan Guan and said coldly, "Go down."

Just these two words, Guan Guan seemed to be unwilling, but he didn't say anything after all, he just sneered, turned around and walked away while covering his red and swollen face, and from a distance, it seemed that he could hear her wanton laughter.

Shui Xunyou turned his head to look at Xi Yuying again, but did not say anything, but ordered: "The princess is not feeling well, send the princess back to the other garden to rest."

Only then did the servants next to her react, and hurriedly surrounded Xi Yuying and went down.

Then, she walked back step by step, and I watched her slowly pass me by, and walked up to Nangong behind me, and said softly: "Husband, tonight is the wedding ceremony for you and me. Let’s wait until tomorrow to worry about things. Everyone, it’s better to have fun.”

What a calm woman.

Even at this time, I couldn't help but admire her secretly in my heart. She dismissed the scene with a few words, and she can still take care of the overall situation in such a way. She deserves to be a queen of a famous family!

Nangong looked at her, then looked up at me.

At this time, if there is any pain in my heart, maybe it is not because of this marriage. I suddenly feel that everything is just as he said at the beginning, and only such a woman is worthy of such a him!

It's just - I know better in my heart that such a woman will only make my future more difficult if she comes to Nangong's house!
I slowly got up, and weakly said to Shaoyu: "Your Majesty, I am not feeling well, so I will go back to Zichen Palace first. Your Majesty, will you go back to the palace with me?"

"it is good."

Shaoyu nodded hurriedly, helped me who was weak and pale, and slowly walked out of Nangong Mansion under the surprised and complicated gazes of everyone who bowed down.

Sitting on the golden carriage on the way back, the carriage swayed all the way, and the wheels made a monotonous sound of knocking against the bluestone slabs. In the carriage, Shaoyu and I sat opposite each other without saying a word.

But I know that he has a lot to ask in his heart, but he just doesn't know how to ask.

I closed my eyes and meditated, and it took me a while to calm myself down.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw him looking at me nervously: "Xingsi, you—"

I said lightly: "Don't mention the past."

He retreated a bit, bit his lower lip slightly, like a child who has been reprimanded by an adult, a little impatient but still nodded, and at this moment, both he and I heard a gust of wind, and then came, It was a sense of oppression full of evil spirits.

His tiger eyes widened all of a sudden, and he immediately opened the curtain to look outside.

The carriage walked into a dark alley, and I couldn't see my fingers. Only the lanterns in the distance gave off a faint red light, and I couldn't see anything.

The surrounding guards also seemed to sense something, they all stopped and drew their swords out of their sheaths.

At this moment when the sword was on the verge of breaking out, I stepped forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't worry."

"Ok?"

He looked at me puzzled, I slowly stretched out my hand out of the window, and waved it lightly, immediately, the people around heard a strange wind, but the oppressive feeling of evil spirit had completely disappeared.

Shaoyu looked at me with wide eyes: "You, what are you—?"
