Chapter 21
In the same night, in a courtyard in the middle of the Four Princes' Mansion—Ruixiang Courtyard, a piece of moonlight shone down.

"Ping'er, don't run around next time." Chu Hanlin said in a low voice, drawing on her eyebrows and eyes with his hand.

Yun Qingping looked up at the curtain above, with a vicious smile on the corner of her mouth.

Yun Ziluo, you are dead!

In the evening, she made a fuss and ran away from the house, wanting Chu Hanlin to experience what it was like to lose her.

First sat in the Qingchun Tea House for a while, then called the coachman to drive to a small jade workshop in Ximen.

"Boss, last time I told you to make the jade pendant out of this piece of jade, did you finish it?" A crystal, transparent, round and smooth square jade appeared in Yun Qingping's palm, which was borrowed from Yun Ziluo and not returned. The Millennium Warm Jade.

Ever since Yun Caili reminded her, she came up with an idea to give Yun Ziluo a piece of Fang Yu similar to the real one.

Just after saying this, a thin old man came out from behind the curtain, staring at Yun Qingping with sharp eyes: "Miss, where did you get this piece of jade?"

Yun Qingping's eyes flickered slightly, and said: "My mother left it to me."

The old man's face changed drastically, and he glanced at her: "Miss, please come in and talk."

Yun Qingping gave him a wary look, and said: "No need, I'm still in a hurry to go back, I'll come back to get the jade in a few days." Then she walked out.

The old man stepped in front of her and stopped in front of her: "Miss, we have something very important to ask you, you can't leave!"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hands, and several black figures jumped out from both sides, two of them raised their hands, and two of their feet lifted Yun Qingping up.

"Put me down! Help, help!" Yun Qingping screamed in fright, tears welled up, and she felt wild remorse.

"Offended!" The old man said and opened the door of the inner room.

Several people carried Yun Qingping, who was making a lot of noise, in, and closed the wooden door with a "bang".

"Help! Spare me! I am the fourth concubine, I am the fourth concubine! This jade is not mine, not mine, I will let the prince give you whatever you want!"

Yun Qingping collapsed on the ground, already incoherent in fright.

Seeing her like this, the old man frowned slightly, and looked left and right. The subordinates in Tsing Yi were also dumbfounded.

"Give me the jade." The old man said.

"Here you are." Yun Qingping quickly threw it over.

The old man held it in front of his eyes for a while, his face was full of shock and joy: "It's true, it's true! It's this thousand-year-old warm jade!"

Yun Qingping tried her best to stay calm, and got up from the ground several times before getting up.

"Quickly help Miss Yun to sit down." The old man raised his eyes and ordered, staring at Yun Qingping probingly.

After Yun Qingping sat down, she felt slightly certain, and asked, "What do you want? The prince can give it to you, as long as you don't hurt me."

The old man ignored her words and asked, "Why does the young lady of Yunfu have this piece of jade? You just said that this jade was left to you by your mother."

"No!" Yun Qingping changed her story, fearing that they would not believe her, she explained in a trembling voice, "It was left to me by one of my aunts, and I don't know what this jade is for, she died more than ten years ago It's gone. Take it if you want!"

The old man's complexion changed, and he asked, "What does your aunt look like? What's her name?"

Yun Qingping bit her lower lip, and said weakly: "I know her nickname is Qingqing, and she looks beautiful, but I don't know the rest."

"Qingqing?"

This time, not only the old man, but also the older people behind him called out, their voices trembling in disbelief: "It's the pavilion master, it's really the old pavilion master!"

Yun Qingping looked at them suspiciously.

The old man took two steps back, his face turned pale, and he asked in a difficult voice: "Miss, how old are you this year?"

"16 is old."

"Then when were you born?"

"The eighth day of the second lunar month in Qianchun."

The old man stepped backwards, fell to the ground, his face was pale, and he repeated dumbly: "The eighth day of the second month of the dry spring year, the eighth day of the second month of the dry spring year..."

Some men in Tsing Yi shouted in surprise: "How could this be possible! Impossible, impossible!"

"How could she be born on the eighth day of the second month of the Qianchun Year? And she has this piece of jade, how could such a coincidence happen in the world! Elder Wang, what is going on?"

The old man shook his head silently, and said in a hoarse voice: "I have always suspected that piece of jade in the pavilion. If I didn't see this piece of jade, I would give up. If I saw this piece of jade, I can be sure that the jade in the pavilion is fake. If It’s fine that the Pavilion Master gave birth to twins back then, but there was only one piece of jade, so there’s no reason to bring the fake jade back to the pavilion, and leave the real jade in Yunfu.”

"Elder Wang, what do you mean—" Several people were puzzled.

"I mean, the one in the pavilion is fake, but the one in front of you is real!" Elder Wang said these words very seriously.

After a moment of silence, someone raised an objection: "But she is the eldest lady of Yunfu, and the Pavilion Master is not her mother!"

Elder Wang slowly stood up from the ground, his old eyes were bright: "At that time, there was a change in the pavilion, and our old pavilion master's cronies were assigned to Qi Xia, and it didn't take long for the new pavilion master to be born. The Pavilion Master Cheng Huan was a fake Pavilion Master at all, who happened to be born on the eighth day of the second lunar month in the Qianchun Year, and was brought back to the Pavilion by them, while the Pavilion Master hiding in Yunfu gave birth to the real Junior Pavilion Master on the same day , fearing that people would find out, so he secretly changed it to Mrs. Yun's principal house."

After listening to Elder Wang's words, several people suddenly realized.

Yun Qingping was still terrified in her heart, and couldn't hear what they were saying at all.

The old man took the lead, bent his knees, and knelt down in front of her.

"The elder king of the fourth pavilion of Liuli Pavilion led his subordinates to meet the pavilion master!" The loud and uniform voice rang out in the spacious room, and Yun Qingping stood up in shock.

"Liu Li Pavilion? Pavilion Master?" Her eyes widened.

It's not that she doesn't know what the Liuli Pavilion is for. Last time, she contacted the people in the Liuli Pavilion to assassinate Yun Ziluo. Why would they call themselves the pavilion master?
Elder Wang raised his head and said: "Yes, the pavilion master naturally doesn't know anything, and this subordinate will explain this to the pavilion master slowly in the future. Please keep this piece of jade safe, and don't show it to others. , is the symbol of commanding the Liuli Pavilion!"

Yun Qingping was shaken like a thunderbolt.

After a while, I slowly understood the meaning of his words.

"You, you said, I am the owner of the Liuli Pavilion?"

"Exactly! Please don't reveal your identity for the time being, the pavilion master. There are many rebels in the pavilion. When I come up with a good plan, I will definitely help the pavilion master regain control of Liuli!" Elder Wang was impassioned, and his righteous words came to the ground.

Yun Qingping finally realized that this jade was not hers, but Yun Ziluo's. According to what they said, this piece of jade was actually the treasure of Liuli Pavilion?

However, seeing these people kneeling, her spirit immediately relaxed, and she said vigorously: "Since I am the Pavilion Master of the Liuli Pavilion now, can I kill anyone I want?"

"Naturally, the subordinates will go through fire and water." Elder Wang replied, "I don't know whose life the pavilion master wants?"

"Yun Ziluo." Yun Qingping spit out coldly, "The second young lady is born out of Yunfu."

Elder Wang was a little surprised.

Afraid that he would become suspicious, Yun Qingping added: "She has bullied me since she was a child, she once pushed me into the water and tried to drown me, and recently she is trying to think of various ways to kill me. Between me and her, either I die or She died."

Elder Wang lowered his head, a little panicked: "The pavilion master doesn't need to explain, as long as the pavilion master wants to kill whoever, the subordinates will do it!"

"Okay." A flowery smile bloomed on Yun Qingping's face.

After Sending Yun Qingping left, a younger subordinate stepped forward and asked: "Elder Wang, why didn't the pavilion master recognize Nuan Yu's blood as the master just now? Wouldn't it be bad if the jade fell into someone else's hands?"

Elder Wang shook his head: "It would be better to investigate this matter more clearly. You should go to the Yun Manor to investigate the affairs of the old pavilion master, and Yun Ziluo together."

An hour later, the man came back and reported to Elder Wang.

It was said that Yun Ziluo was actually the daughter of Pavilion Master Qingqing, but her birthday was wrong, it was February [-]th, four days late.

Elder Wang was half startled and half doubtful, but suddenly came to his senses, raised his eyebrows and smiled and said, "I understand. Didn't someone in the pavilion secretly check on the baby born on the eighth day of February? Mrs. Yun had raped Mrs. Yun, creating the false appearance that Mrs. Yun gave birth to a daughter, and the pavilion master made the false appearance of giving birth four days later, but she was hugging Mrs. Yun's daughter Yun Ziluo, who was born this day. Even if the traitor finds it, he will never suspect the Yun family's daughter. Miss."

The man nodded knowingly.

Elder Wang continued: "The pavilion master must have taken medicine for Mrs. Yun to erase the memories of the past few days. All the insiders have also been taken medicine." Then he sighed, "If it wasn't for the little pavilion master to bring it to our jade shop to fight Yu, I'm afraid this truth will be buried forever."

The man also sighed: "Yes, who would have thought that Qingqing Pavilion Master would hide in Yun Mansion back then. The Pavilion Master is extremely clever and came up with this trick of stealing a dragon for a phoenix, no one can find out anything."

Elder Wang nodded: "Since the Pavilion Master wants to kill Yun Ziluo, let's make arrangements first and send someone to contact the Pavilion Master at night. We will stay in the capital during this time and order to go on. No one is allowed to spread the matter today, otherwise Kill it immediately!"

Yun Ziluo naturally didn't know these things.

She stayed quietly in the mansion and taught Taoer's martial arts, and waited for her marriage on April 28.

When walking in the mansion in the past few days, I often heard the sound of howling ghosts and howling wolves, which was Yun Caili torturing the ears of others.

So what if you don't want to marry a fool?No one dared to resist the Queen Mother's order, especially Zhou Shi and Yun Caili who were afraid of death.

Zhou's complexion was not good, but at least her own daughter was getting married, so she didn't want to be shabby anymore, so she went to make the He family laugh at her.

In the past few days, the servants in the mansion, big and small, have been busy, posting happy words and hanging red silk, and the deserted Yun Mansion is also a little happy.

Soon on the morning of the 28th, all the nuns from the palace crowded into Yun Ziluo's pear garden to dress her up.

Yun Ziluo put on the finely woven bright red wedding dress that the child was still wearing before he died, and said coldly in her heart: "Chu Hanlin, the clothes worn by the dead are perfect for you."

In the pear garden, Yao Lingling, dressed in a brand-new satin gown embroidered with five-color orchids, came early in the morning, pretending to give Yun Ziluo a marriage, but in fact, she heard her loud voice complaining non-stop all morning.

"Hey, can you hurry up?"

"Be gentle with your hands and feet, and be careful not to ruin her makeup."

"Hold this, how can the bride carry such a heavy thing?"

"Water, where's the water? Fetch water quickly! How come fetching water is like entering a palace, so slow and so dawdling!"

The nuns in the room were made to turn around like dharams by her, and Yun Ziluo smiled helplessly in the mirror.

After finishing everything, the old mother put a crown studded with pearls and emeralds on Yun Ziluo, and covered it with red tassels, and Yao Lingling and Tao'er supported her to go to the front hall.

In the front hall, Mrs. Zhou was looking at Yun Caili, who was sitting on a chair covered with a red hijab, with a sigh and a long sigh.

Yun Ziluo was helped in, the red wedding dress on her body was intertwined with golden threads, shining dazzlingly, Zhou's complexion became ugly at a glance.

It is also a marriage, even if she racks her brains for her daughter, but compared with Yun Ziluo who has the backing of the Queen Mother, why does she look so shabby!

"Mother, where is my dowry?"

Yun Ziluo lifted the red hijab slightly, and looked at the two rows of dowries on the left and right of the hall, and there were ten big mahogany boxes in both rows.

"The left side is yours." Zhou replied angrily.

"Oh, is this the dowry gift that the Fourth Prince gave me as a dowry? Mother gave me the gift list, and before the groom comes, I want to check the count." Yun Ziluo said lightly.

Zhou's eyebrows raised, "Logarithm? Don't you still doubt that you can't be a mother? You'll see after you get married. If there's anything wrong, come to me."

"Tao'er, bring the key and check it." Yun Ziluo ignored Zhou's words, and supported Yao Lingling's hand and sat down on the pear wood chair.

"Yun Ziluo, do you still take my mother seriously?" Zhou slapped the table angrily.

The atmosphere in the hall was tense.

Yun Ziluo smiled lightly: "I'll take a look at my own dowry first, is there anything wrong? Taoer!"

Tao'er had already responded, took the key and clicked to open the first cage. There were only a few vases in such a big box, Tao'er kept silent and kept opening until all ten boxes were opened.

"Hiss—" Everyone gasped. This dowry looks like a big deal, but there is no stock in it!

Tao'er didn't wait for Yun Ziluo's order, she turned around and took the key from the servant's hand, and opened Yun Caili's dowry boxes one by one.

"Oh my God!" Even Yao Lingling couldn't help being amazed this time.

There are ten boxes in total, and each box is full of silk, pearls and emeralds, which dazzle the eyes in the hall.

"Miss, this pearl tiara is a betrothal gift from the Fourth Prince!" Tao'er picked up a hairpin tiara from the beautiful cloud box and shouted, "And this one, this one, it's all yours!"

"How could you do that?" Yao Lingling asked with righteous indignation, "How could you give Luoer's dowry to your own daughter as a dowry?"

Yun Ziluo, on the other hand, had a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, without any fluctuation in expression.

In the eyes of everyone, Zhou's face turned red and purple, and then turned purple and red again. Yun Caili took off her hijab with a "swipe", stood up and shouted: "Yun Ziluo, don't go too far! I want to marry you!" Give it to a fool, but you want to marry the fourth prince as a princess! I just have more dowry than you! What else do you want?"

Yun Ziluo clenched her lips coldly, and said: "I didn't ask you to marry a fool. If you marry a fool, you can covet my dowry, right? It's really unreasonable! If I were you today, would you Will you share your dowry with me? I'm afraid you're going to bend over here laughing!"

Yun Caili's throat choked.

"Give me the gift list, you guys, bring all the dowry that should be Miss Ben to Miss Ben."

Everyone couldn't see her face, but only heard her calm and indifferent voice, although it was not loud, it was full of power and influence as a housewife, making it impossible to underestimate.

Zhou said with a pale face: "The auspicious time is almost here." He gave all the servants a wink not to act rashly.

Yun Ziluo smiled: "Really? If the dowry is wrong, I won't marry. You know, the queen mother said, if I don't marry, the Yun family will be executed! If you want to die so quickly, don't move."

As soon as she said this, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed.

"You lied! The queen mother is father's sister, how could she copy and kill Yun's family?" Yun Caili shouted angrily, but a trace of fear flashed across her face.

"Resisting the decree and not obeying the order, the prince and the common people are guilty of the same crime, childish!" Yun Ziluo glanced at her lightly, "If you want to make things big, then I will waste my time. When this matter gets to the ears of the Queen Mother, who is right and who is not?" Reason, hehe, you guys know better than me."

Zhou's face sank for a moment, she bit her lip, her eyes were full of gloom, and finally shouted: "Why are you all standing there stupidly? Don't do anything, give her back the dowry of the second young lady!"

The awkward atmosphere was immediately broken by the sound of footsteps.

Yao Lingling let out a sigh of relief, she never knew that Yun Ziluo was so powerful, she didn't need to use force to win, just a few plain but murderous words, and the woman surnamed Zhou was so angry that she was about to vomit blood and die .

So handsome!
If she had encountered such a scene today, she would have lifted her hijab and scolded that woman long ago.

An hour later, Yun Ziluo finally got on the sedan chair amidst the sound of gongs and drums, and headed for the Four Princes' Mansion.

Yun Ziluo lifted off her hijab and let out a long breath, almost suffocating her to death.

Just as he was thinking, there was the sound of horseshoes in front of him, and the welcoming team stopped following the sound.

Yun Ziluo's heart tightened, she opened the car curtain, and looked ahead.

The warm sunlight shone on the bloody red carpet, blurring the man's facial features.

Chu Ziyuan was wearing a jade-white double-breasted gown today, with a row of diamond jade inlaid at the neckline, and he was sitting astride a tall, snow-white horse. middle of the road.

The people watching around had already been sent away by his people.

"Eighth Prince, what can I do for you?"

Chu Hanlin didn't come, the one who came to welcome the bride today was Zhang Kang, who was originally riding a horse, but Yun Ziluo ordered him to walk beside the sedan chair.

Are you kidding, only the groom can ride a horse in front of the bridal sedan chair?
"Slave dog, get out!" Chu Ziyuan was not in a good mood today, he threw a whip over him, especially when he saw that Chu Hanlin didn't come to pick up the bride in person, his brows and eyes were terribly gloomy.

Even if this marriage is just a play, it is also a disrespect to Luo Er!
Zhang Kang was sent to welcome the bride, his face was very bad, he was hit by the shadow of the whip, rolled back, got up and lowered his head, his eyes were full of resentment.

"Ziyuan, let's go back." Yun Ziluo's calm heart rippled a little, as if seeing Chu Ziyuan's appearance at this moment, she realized that she was going to marry in ancient times.

Chu Ziyuan didn't speak, but looked at her intently with his phoenix eyes that were so dark that he couldn't see clearly what he was thinking.

"Go back." Yun Ziluo pulled down the car curtain.

"Luoer—my people will also go to the Fourth Prince's Mansion with you, you will live in a different place, no one will dare to touch half of your hair!" Chu Ziyuan finally opened his mouth.

"What is the Eighth Prince doing here?" Just as he finished speaking, a cold voice sounded.

A sturdy black horse jumped out from the side. The man had a tall horseback, and the black cloud-climbing boots on his feet kicked the horse's belly. He squinted his eyes and looked at him. He had a charming figure and an indifferent expression. Wearing a pure black robe inlaid with gold, he looked like an unsheathed sword, extremely sharp.

One white and one black, standing proudly in front of the welcoming team, one left and one right.

The surrounding people, officers and soldiers fell silent.

Chu Ziyuan narrowed his eyes and asked back, "What is the purpose of the Regent appearing here?"

The corner of the regent's mouth curled into a smile: "Of course I came to welcome the relatives."

"Ben-king-yes!"

Saying it word by word, Chu Ziyuan pulled back the rein, brushed it, and whipped it down, and the man and the horse were like an arrow off the string, and rushed towards the direction of the Four Princes' Mansion.

The regent looked back at the big red sedan chair hanging quietly, the smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared, and there was a moment of complexity in his eyes, he paused, his legs were clamped, and he walked away first.

All the officers and soldiers of the common people raised their drooping heads and breathed a sigh of relief for a long time.

I was thinking in my heart, this welcoming team is really impressive!

Although there are not many people, but the two leaders are so important, can invite the Regent and the Eighth Prince to appear at the same time, I am afraid that the current queen's wedding is not so grand, right?

Come to think of it, do the people in the palace feel that they owed the second young miss of the Yun family last time and caused her to suffer a lot, so this time it will be like this...

The wedding sedan chair arrived at the Fourth Prince's Mansion, and since the Prince Regent and Chu Ziyuan were there, Chu Hanlin came out to greet him with a dark face, and Yun Ziluo got off the sedan chair with a veil on, and followed him into the hall.

All the way in silence, until entering the hall, hearing the whispers of the guests from all around, Yun Ziluo suddenly said: "The prince still owes me 10 taels of silver, do you remember?"

Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect the bride to open her mouth, and she still said the same sentence.
