"Royal brother is right." Jun Qingjing glanced at the calm and composed Yun Ruoleng with a smile.
Jun Qingshang did not notice this action, but Yun Ruoleng took a good look at his expression, Yun Ruoleng did not say a word and pulled on Jun Qingshang's sleeves with a faint smile.
"It's getting late, hurry up and pick up the bride!" Jun Qingshang patted his shoulder and laughed heartily.
Jun Qingjing nodded with a smile. "Brother Huang is waiting for my good news!"
"Yes." Jun Qingshang rarely laughed so happily, but he was unexpectedly happy today. Yun Ruoleng felt that he should not disturb his mood, and decided to talk about these things after he returned home.
Jun Qingshang watched as Jun Qingjing brought along the betrothal gift, Hao Tang, and the others towards the inn. At this time, a figure jumped out from the crowd and before Yun Ruoleng could say a word, everyone had already knelt down.
"Long live the Emperor!"
Jun Rushi coughed lightly, and raised his hand to signal everyone to stand up before saying to Yun Ruoleng and Jun Qingshang: "royal uncle Royal Aunt, Royal Grandmother's carriage is almost here, let's go greet them at the door!"
Jun Qingshang's handsome face, which was just brimming with laughter a moment ago, instantly darkened when he saw Jun Rushi: "You have one that ran out?"
"No, no!" Jun Rushi pointed to the few hidden guards and muttered, "We are here to set up a trap! I am just afraid that Huang Teng will suddenly cause trouble. "
Yun Ruoleng laughed softly while covering his face. Then, Jun Qingshang rolled his eyes at him rudely, "Forget it, it's best if you didn't run out here by yourself."
"Heh heh." Jun Rushi's gaze flashed, so fast that Jun Qingshang could not catch it.
Jun Qingshang held Yun Ruoleng's hand and, without even looking at him once, turned around and walked toward the entrance of Duke Jing Palace. Jun Rushi was slightly stunned for a moment before he quickly chased after him, leaving the ministers behind to stare at each other in dismay.
Jun Qingshang brought everyone and stood at the entrance, and with a glance, he could see that there was a pair of people heading over. Yun Ruoleng raised his eyebrows at Jun Qingshang.
Even though Jun Qingshang did not speak, he knew this better than anyone else. He shot a cold glance at Jun Rushi, who was beside him. Jun Rushi subconsciously frowned.
The phoenix sedan stopped at the door, and the Empress Dowager walked out of the carriage with the help of her servant. Yun Ruoleng bowed in greeting, followed by the other officials behind her all saluting. The empress dowager reached out to help Yun Ruoleng up with a smile, and held onto her son's hand with one hand. She smiled and said, "Today, your Ninth royal brother is getting married, and this one is very happy. All of you, accompany this one to have a drink."
"Huh?" Yun Ruoleng was a little stupefied, his gaze landed on the Jun Qingshang who had an unhappy face.
Jun Qingshang did not even look at her, and immediately retracted his hand. "Imperial Mother, there are still so many people watching here!"
"Royal Grandmother, she …" Jun Rushi stuck his head out from beside Yun Ruoleng and looked at the Empress Dowager with a disbelieving expression.
"Cough, cough." The empress dowager gave a light cough before retracting her expression and said in all seriousness, "It's rare for Prince Jing to get married. Today, all of you will stay here until you're drunk."
"Empress Dowager Xie!" Everyone was puzzled as they looked at the majestic empress dowager. Parents could understand that, after all, their son had returned after so many years. It was inevitable that he would have a barrier in his heart if he came back with a wife.
Since King Jing's wedding banquet was to form two countries, it was naturally much bigger than an ordinary duke's wedding banquet. The Emperor had even pardoned the world and celebrated together, this was precisely to let Huang Teng know how much he valued her little sister, as well as the friendship between the two.
Not long after Jun Qingjing left, he returned with a bridal sedan. His gentle and refined face was brimming with a smile, but it wasn't a very wide smile. Furthermore, when his gaze fell upon his body, he couldn't help but feel that there was something strange about it.
Jun Qingjing kicked the sedan chair's door as he greeted the bride inside. In the end, when the ceremony was completed, Jun Qingjing came out after sending the bride back to her bridal chamber. Although there was a smile on her face, it was hard for Yun Ruoleng to hide it as it was a fake smile.
After returning to the Regent’s Mansion from the Jing King Manor, Yun Ruoleng began to narrate what he had seen and heard today. At the beginning, Jun Qingshang had only thought that it was because of Yun Ruoleng's nervousness, but the more she said, the more he felt that something was wrong.
"I know." Yun Ruoleng leaned into Jun Qingjing's embrace, "It can't be that he hates you because of their marriage, right? That's not good. "
Jun Qingshang frowned, although he could not deny that it was possible, Jun Qingshang did not want to hurt his bloodline. It was not that he was soft-hearted, it was that the royal family did not have any kinship with him, and he was his only younger brother.
At the moment, within the Minister’s Mansion, Qiao Ren Zhong had been brought back to the Minister’s Mansion by Yun Shicheng. At the beginning, he had been suspicious, but when he saw Yun Yueyu, he seemed to have understood something.
"Child! "Your uncle has let you down. Yesterday, the empress dowager sent out an imperial decree to give Little Child to Crown Prince Yue Ling. Look …"
"Since it's the empress dowager's wish, this official has no objections." Qiao Ren Zhong's expression did not change at all, he respectfully cupped his hands towards Yun Shicheng and said, "As long as Miss Yun does not regret it."
Yun Yueyu lowered her head, and nodded her head weakly: "Thank you for your reminder, Master Qiao. I will not regret it."
After Qiao Ren and Zhong bade farewell to Yun Shicheng, they quickly rushed to the Regent’s Mansion. He felt that he should first discuss this matter with Yun Ruoleng, before deciding to rescind the engagement, whether or not it would affect her plans.
As an ally, he couldn't drag her down.
"Your majesty and the wangfei are resting. Your majesty will come back tomorrow!" Qiao Ren Zhong rushed to the door but was stopped by the guard at the door. He was anxious, wanting to barge in but not daring to do so. He could only stand at the door and walk back and forth.
The gatekeeper was also very vexed. He couldn't close the door if he didn't leave! Thus, the servant went to look for An Ying, and when An Ying heard of it, he immediately ordered his servants to chase him away. Before Qiao Ren Zhong left, he took a deep look at the signboard at the Regent’s Mansion entrance.
The next day, after Yun Ruoleng received the news that Qiao Ren Zhong was looking for him, he frowned in displeasure: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"This servant only just heard it." Peach Blossom innocently looked at Yun Ruoleng. If not for her going out to buy things today, she really wouldn't know.
"Send someone to get him here." There must be a reason for Qiao Ren Zhong to come to Regent’s Mansion to look for him in the middle of the night. Yun Ruoleng did not dare to be careless.
Tao Hong responded, she helped Yun Ruoleng set up a fruit plate, then quickly went to find someone to inform Qiao Ren Zhong.
In Peace Palace, Jun Qingshang and the Little Emperor were called over by the empress dowager. The two of them were very confused.
