Greetings, Ninth Uncle - Chapter 97

[Chapter 97]

Cheng Yujin stretched out her hand, she was a little hesitant in her action, but when her finger touched Li Chengjing’s hand, he immediately held it back.

Li Chengjing’s palms were warm and powerful, and Cheng Yujin was led out of the phoenix sedan chair by him, and there was an indescribable sense of security.

It seemed that no matter how hesitant she was, as long as she was willing to take the first step, Li Chengjing would finish the remaining ninety-nine steps and come to hold her hand from a long distance.

The female officials standing next to each other looked at each other, and they could see that it should have been their duty to help Cheng Yujin out of the sedan chair, but they were snatched away by the crown prince.

But the female officials quietly looked at Li Chengjing’s face, and none of them dared to remind him at such a time.

Obviously, the prince doesn’t need their reminders either. He knows the steps of the big marriage, what to do and what not to do at each step.

The palace had already entered the palace, and there were no outsiders watching the ceremony, so the female officials had to turn a blind eye and pretend they didn’t see it.

After Cheng Yujin stepped out of the sedan chair, she quietly broke away from Li Chengjing’s hand.

There is still a long way to go from Dongshunmen to Ciqing Palace. Cheng Yujin wanted to hold a jade Guigui, but Li Chengjing has always held one hand.

Cheng Yujin moved a little, and Li Chengjing also let go.

Soon the chariots in the palace arrived, and the two of them changed their chariots one after another, walking towards the East Palace one after the other.

This time, I stopped again and arrived at the East Palace.

The East Palace is not the name of a palace, it is just the name of the palace where the prince lives. It has always been built in the east of the palace, so it is called the East Palace.

The palace where the crown prince lived in this dynasty has changed several times, and the name has also changed.

Cheng Yujin heard the long singing of “lowering the sedan chair”, and she suddenly had an indescribable feeling in her heart. This is the Ciqing Palace, the famous East Palace, where she will live for many years to come.

The sedan door fell, Cheng Yujin slowly got off the sedan and stepped on the cleaned stone slab.

If you take this step, you will never be able to look back. In the future, life or death, despair or glory will all be attributed to this piece of red wall and blue tiles.

From the moment Cheng Yujin got off the sedan chair, the female official used the curtain to create a space, and supported Cheng Yujin to enter the door, so that outsiders could not see her figure.

In this way, Cheng Yujin didn’t know what the palace looked like all the way.

When they were indoors, they followed the guidance of the internal officials, worshipped and sat, changed several places back and forth, and tossed many steps, and finally finished drinking the wine. Cheng Yujin and Li Chengjing bowed to each other, and then each had a palace servant. The eunuch stopped beside them and led them to change.

For a whole day, Cheng Yujin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Du Ruo and Forsythia were already exhausted from just accompanying them, and Cheng Yujin had to support her heavy dress and hair crown. As soon as they were free, they quickly gathered around Cheng Yujin and asked in a low voice, “Prince Concubine, are you still there? Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.” Cheng Yujin had no strength to speak anymore. She motioned to the Jiu Zhai Sifeng crown on her head and said, “Remove your makeup first.”

This crown is extremely gorgeous, all of which are real gold. Encrusted with emeralds, gems, and pearls, with four temples at the back, only two wings less than the queen’s hair crown.

Cheng Yujin has roughly counted it, but this hair crown alone has more than 100 gems and more than 4,000 pearls.

Don’t ask Cheng Yujin why she counts, she doesn’t know either.

It’s true that it looks good, but it’s really heavy. If it wasn’t for its value, Cheng Yujin wouldn’t be happy to hold it all day.

Du Ruo, Forsythia and the palace maids worked together to remove the Jiu Zhai Sifeng crown, the moment the hair crown was lifted, the neck suddenly relaxed, Cheng Yujin couldn’t help reaching out and rubbing the neck.

She kneaded the stiff muscles on both sides of her neck, almost suspecting that her neck was shortened.

Forsythia Kwang felt sore when she held this crown. She thought that the girl had been holding it like this all day, and she sincerely admired it.

Du Ruo has come forward to pinches Cheng Yujin’s shoulders and neck. Her strength is neither light nor heavy, and every time she squeezes it in the stiff and sore place, Cheng Yujin can’t help but let out a breath, relax, and enjoy the rare leisure.

Forsythia also came forward with great discernment to beat Cheng Yujin’s legs, and said, “Prince Concubine woke up at the third watch today. I’m afraid I’m exhausted after a whole day. My servant will loosen your legs.”

Cheng Yujin said, “You’re poor, and the internal officials are still there. Why don’t you hurry up and send thank you gifts to the female officials and the father-in-law?”

Forsythia suddenly realized, and immediately ran back to the house, holding the prepared in Yichun Hou’s mansion. The bag went out.

Cheng Yujin had enough rest, so she stood up and asked the maids to undress her.

Zhai clothes are complicated, and without the help of others, I really can’t put them on and take them off by myself.

Cheng Yujin stretched out her arms and stood still.

The maids on both sides were well-trained, knelt beside her and took off accessories such as jade pendants, knee shields, and ribbons in an orderly manner. Not messy.

All Zhai clothes were put away, Cheng Yujin was wearing a light middle coat, and Du Ruo served her with her bun and lightly combing her hair.

At this time, Forsythia came back, leaned in front of Cheng Yujin, and said in a low voice, “Prince Concubine, the slave and maid went out to reward the father-in-law and daughter-in-law who attended the ceremony at your order. Guess what happened?”

Cheng Yujin held a comb in her hand and held A lock of hair was gently combed to the end, and he asked, “What’s wrong?”

“His Royal Highness has already sent someone to give a reward, and it was in your name. The slaves didn’t dare to ask for it, so they stuffed them with another. In this way, the one who came to serve in the East Palace today will get three rewards. One for His Royal Highness, one for His Royal Highness in your name, and one for the servant just sent out.”

Forsythia flexed her fingers and counted, she was extremely envious.

Cheng Yujin glanced at her lightly: “His Royal Highness is rich, why would he care about a mere reward? How the prince does it is the prince’s business, and we can’t save the reward at all.”

“The servant knows.” Forsythia Nodding again and again.

Du Ruo was holding Cheng Yujin’s long hair. Hearing this, he couldn’t help but chuckle: “Prince Concubine, where is Forsythia saying that His Highness is generous, she clearly wants to say that His Highness is very attentive to the Crown Princess.”

Forsythia also smiled . Now, she

blinked

her eyes narrowly: “Yes, the Crown Princess is smart and decisive, and she can predict things like a god. How can you not guess the true meaning of slaves now?”

“There’s still business tomorrow, so why don’t you go to see the water soon?”

Forsythia didn’t dare to be poor any more, and hurriedly slipped away with a “hey”.

After Cheng Yujin took a bath, she changed into her home clothes and came out. A long time has passed.

The speed of bathing between men and women is completely incomparable. When Cheng Yujin came out, Li Chengjing read half of the book in his hand.

Hearing the voice, Li Chengjing put down the book and sighed sincerely, “So long?”

Cheng Yujin’s hair was still wet.

After taking a bath, there was a lot of water vapor in the clean room, and it was obviously inconvenient to twist your hair inside, so Cheng Yujin just roughly wiped the water from the roots of her hair and came out first.

Of course, there will not be only one clean room in the East Palace. Cheng Yujin and Li Chengjing will organize them separately, and no one will disturb the other.

Cheng Yujin has been living alone since she can remember. No one disturbed her when she was bathing just now, and the people around her were also familiar people, which made Cheng Yujin subconsciously think that she was still in her own home.

After she washed her hair, she walked out with wet hair. She didn’t react suddenly until she heard another man’s voice.

She was startled at first, thinking that a man had entered her house, and then slowly remembered that she was married.

Now she is not in the Jinning Courtyard of the Houfu of Yichun, she is in the East Palace.

It’s not that someone entered her room, but she entered another person’s space.

Cheng Yujin reacted and froze in place, not knowing whether to go in or retreat.

She was annoyed that Du Ruo and Forsythia didn’t remind her, which caused her to come out in a disheveled manner.

However, Cheng Yujin’s eyes turned around in the palace, and there was no shadow of the maid in the huge palace.

All the palace servants, including Cheng Yujin’s dowry maid, were kicked out.

And if the initiator doesn’t do what he thinks, it must be Li Chengjing.

Cheng Yujin is very embarrassed. Even if she goes out for a walk, she must dress up carefully, choose clothes and accessories carefully. She has never had her hair loose and loose home clothes like this, and she has never appeared in front of others.

In particular, her hair was still dripping with water.

Cheng Yujin was embarrassed for a while, then turned around and wanted to go to the clean room.

At this time, Li Chengjing had already walked to her side, and when he noticed her movement, he grabbed the person: “What are you doing?”

The strength he used at this moment was completely different from when he was in front of the palace gate in the afternoon. Cheng Yujin couldn’t move his hands away, so he could not wait to cover his face: “His Royal Highness, let me go first, I will go back and tidy up my appearance before I come out.”

Li Chengjing seemed to Unexpectedly, this was the reason, he raised his eyebrows and couldn’t help laughing: “Look at the sky outside, what time is it, what are you doing with your grooming?”

Cheng Yujin followed his movements and glanced outside, The gates in the palace are deep, and after the sun goes down, the night will soon be overwhelmed. Everywhere is gloomy, majestic and oppressive.

Cheng Yujin also realized that what she said just now was a bit ridiculous. If she was in her original home, she would not re-dress after taking a shower at night, and she was not sick.

But… Now there is Li Chengjing, how can it be the same?

Cheng Yujin hesitated to speak, but Li Chengjing didn’t care. He pulled Cheng Yujin to the seat he had just now, motioned Cheng Yujin to sit down, and took a clean towel from the hanger beside him.

When Li Chengjing looked back, he saw that Cheng Yujin was still standing, his eyes widened, as if he saw something he couldn’t believe.

Li Chengjing could only say to her, “Sit down first, I’m just wiping your hair, I’m not doing anything, why do you look at me like this.”

Cheng Yujin moved her lips, and finally said with great restraint, “Your Highness, this… this How can I bother you.”

“Call me my name, don’t use you.” Li Chengjing’s face was not very good-looking. Seeing that Cheng Yujin was still unwilling to move, he simply stretched out his long arms. Pull to yourself.

Cheng Yujin couldn’t match Li Chengjing’s strength, she was dragged to the side of the collapse, and when she was about to hit the collapse, she was firmly supported by one hand.

Li Chengjing held Cheng Yujin’s elbow with one hand, so close to the feeling, only to find that Cheng Yujin was very thin, and he could almost completely embrace her with one hand.

After putting her away, Li Chengjing didn’t withdraw his hand, but just supported her, went around behind her back and smoothed her wet long hair to the palm of his hand, wrapping it in a clean towel.

Li Chengjing rubbed her hair and said, “It’s true that I’m older than you, but I’m only five years old, so I can’t call you ‘you’, right?”

This is deliberately raising the bar. Li Chengjing is smaller than many officials in the court, but in front of him, do these officials dare to come and go to the crown prince?

Cheng Yujin vaguely remembered that once before, Li Chengjing asked her how she felt about the age of men.

At that time, Cheng Yujin thought he was referring to Zhai Yanlin, and scolded the old man with all his might.

Looking at his brooding energy now, could it be that what he wanted to say was himself?

Cheng Yujin was speechless, she really didn’t expect the dignified prince to be so boring, in her opinion, Li Chengjing himself is the one who cares about age the most!

Cheng Yujin was not in a hurry, and said, “After all, I have called you for a long time, ninth uncle, and it is normal for me to be unable to turn.”

Li Chengjing’s hand movement paused, and he looked up at her with a look that made Cheng Yujin was instinctively tense.

Cheng Yujin thought she had said something wrong, and immediately became vigilant: “His Royal Highness asked His Majesty to announce to the world that you were retrieved from the Cheng family, and I do not deny Cheng Yuanjing’s identity. You were indeed my ninth uncle before, and I casually said it. Mention, shouldn’t His Highness be angry?”

“Cheng Yuanjing is also me, what can I be angry about.” Li Chengjing’s tone was neither salty nor light, but his eyes glanced back.

Cheng Yujin was curious, turned around and found that there was nothing special behind him except a pair of red dragon and phoenix candles.

Cheng Yujin couldn’t understand, she thought she had missed something and was still looking at it carefully, but at this time Li Chengjing held Cheng Yujin’s long hair and said, “The hair is long, so it’s hard to wring it out?”

Cheng Yujin hurriedly turned around and grabbed her hands He crossed his hair and looked at it distressedly.

She glared at Li Chengjing angrily and said, “I just wanted to say that long hair must be carefully maintained, not rubbed hard, let alone twisted! Let go, I’ll do it myself.”

Okay, Li Chengjing has not been around men since he grew up Even the eunuch, he didn’t know what a woman was like, so he had to listen to Cheng Yujin’s words and let go.

He turned sideways and saw that Cheng Yujin was carefully wrapping his hair, scratching and absorbing the water from his hair with a cloth, but it didn’t rub.

I think this is what she said, long hair should be carefully maintained.

This kind of technique, a layman will really not be able to learn it for a while.

Li Chengjing watched with great interest for a while, and couldn’t help but look at the burning red candle again.

Counting the candle time, it is now three quarters of the hour.

Did Cheng Yujin realize that today was their wedding night?
