C228 Joining the Chicken House

The bridal procession arrived at the royal residence just like that. There were no lanterns or decorations as imagined, nor were there any overcrowded people as imagined.

Compared to the bustling Duke Ling's Mansion, the mansion was so deserted that it was hard to believe that it was hosting a happy occasion.

No one came out to welcome them. The only thing they could do was open the door of the mansion. There were also the red flowers on the magnificent lions on both sides of the gate, and the red tent on the signboard of the King Chu's Mansion. There was nothing else.

Although Yun Xi could not see, she could hear the voice. The maid beside her told her about the situation of the mansion. Yun Xi gritted her teeth and her nails dug into the female servant's arm. The female servant was in pain but she did not dare to make a sound.

Changxu looked at the lazy person who was playing the tune. They became spirited and blew their own sumphonos hard. Only then did the air have a trace of a festive feeling.

Wet nurse came from the Palace. When she saw the scene in the Imperial Residence, there was nothing unusual on her face. A qualified servant should learn to be calm and collected.

Changxu led the way in front. There was no groom who carried the bride down the palanquin and rode the saddle over the braziers.

Wet nurse and the maid supported the bride and followed behind. After entering the mansion, there was no longer any festive red color, not even a single word of wedding could be seen.

The maid looked at it and was angry. She whispered everything she saw into Yun Xi's ear. The mansion was even more deserted than before. There were no guests, no banquets, and even servant girl could not see a single person.

Yun Xi was burning with anger but now she could not get angry. She was even brought to the Imperial Residence. If she felt wronged and reported it to the Emperor, it would instead be used against her.

After all, the basic etiquette of the Imperial Residence had already been done. If she were to cry, not only did the Emperor of Dayong not help him, he might even put a crime against the Imperial Decree on him. He might as well endure it and let me see how ruthless Yu Longchen can be.

In the main hall, there was not a single person. Only two candles were lit on the table.

Yun Xi had just entered when she heard the sound of the chicken. She did not think much before she heard Changxu loudly say, "Prepare to pay homage."

"Swish!"

Yun Xi shook wet nurse's hand away and lifted the red veil herself. The three dimensional facial features coupled with exquisite makeup made it seem as if it came out of a painting.

It was just that the viciousness in her eyes was not compatible with her appearance. She looked at the red rooster that the servant was holding and there was a small red flower tied around her long neck.

Yun Xi grabbed the rooster's head and threw it at Changxu. Changxu dodged it and the rooster cried twice. It shook its head and circled around the ground twice. It fell down and stopped moving.

"Dayong treats the princess of Yunmeng Country like this. Aren't they afraid of starting a war between the two countries?" The maid could not stand it anymore. How could such a precious person in Yunmeng Country be ruined by the Dayong?

"Where's King Chu? If he didn't die, ask him to come out and get married. I'm the princess of a country. He used a chicken to pay homage, this meant that he was inferior to a chicken. Or is the Dayong's etiquette so poor? If this gets out, I'm afraid I'll become the laughingstock of the world." Yun Xi stepped on her red veil and stared at Changxu.

"Princess, do you know the crime of damaging the item bestowed by the Emperor?" Changxu looked at the chicken on the ground, his eyes shining. “ This chicken is a tribute from the Xian Province, and they feed on top quality fruits and vegetables. The mountain spring water is for drinking. It was raised on the mountain with the richest resources. Even so, there are only seven or eight each year."

" You dog slave! The princess asked you a question. What did you say?" The maid went up with her hands on her hips and scolded Changxu. Her pretty face had a sharp and unkind expression.

Changxu's face became stern, scaring the female servant until her arrogance became shorter. Then she looked at Yun Xi as if she was looking at a fool, "The chicken that the princess smashed just now was the Jinyi Chicken that the Emperor bestowed to His Royal Highness."

" Even if it is, so what? It is only a chicken. It is an animal." Yun Xi turned sideways and looked at Changxu with disdain. " At the dining table in the Palace, the Emperor had given it to King Chu. If he did not eat it, could it be that he wanted to let it spend the rest of its life in King Chu's Mansion? Since it is already dead, why can't this princess kill it? "

" Princess, you should be careful. " Changxu admitted that he could not defeat her, so he did not bother about the chicken.

"Ask King Chu to come out and get married!" Yun Xi's words were domineering. It had been a long time since she had used such a fierce aura.

"His Royal Highness is seriously ill and cannot get off the bed." Changxu still only had one sentence.

Wet nurse kept her head down and stood by the side. Previously, the Imperial Family also had the precedent of a chicken paying homage and getting married. This was not a problem. This chicken was indeed as Changxu had said. It was incomparably precious. But Yun Xi was right. The chicken was also used to eat. Killing it now was also right.

So, she still did not speak and stood by the side to observe Yun Xi's actions.

"Do you think that this princess will really allow you to bully me like this?" Yun Xi looked at the clear sky outside the door and sneered twice. It was so cold that the maid beside her shivered.

"Lateral Consort Yun, please pay attention to your identity. Once you enter the Imperial Residence, you will be the Royal Highness's concubine." Changxu cupped his hands and bowed.

Yun Xi was stunned for a moment, then she turned her head, from the ruthlessness just now to the stiffness now. "I have not paid my respects to you. King Chu also did not come out, so how could he make a decision? "

" Could it be that Lateral Consort Yun wants to defy the decree? Or is it that Lateral Consort Yun wants to sit in the sedan back to the Imperial Palace and follow Crown Prince Yun back to Yun Meng? This subordinate does not dare to stop her. If Lateral Consort Yun wants to leave, then leave." Changxu gave way.

Yun Xi, however, could not step out of the way. She gritted her teeth and closed her eyes. She readjusted her emotions and her expression relaxed. Her tone had not changed and there was even more hatred. "Where is His Royal Highness? I want to see how sick he is!"

Changxu sized Yun Xi up. He originally thought that she was beautiful, but now the more he looked at her...

"Princess, please pay your respects and enter the bridal chamber first." Changxu insisted that Yun Xi pay her respects first. After all, only proper etiquette was needed after paying her respects.

"It won't be too late to make up for it when the prince recovers. Now, the health of the prince is more important. This duke will go and take a look." Yun Xi directly walked to the door, but stood there without moving.

"Cough, cough, humph." Changxu covered his face and coughed twice. "The princess made things difficult for wet nurse. wet nurse still needs to return to the Palace to report."

"This princess feels that with these, wet nurse returning to the Palace to report to the Emperor is enough." Yun Xi sized wet nurse up and did not know if it was a warning or a test.

"Wet nurse did not see Princess Yun bow." Changxu insisted again and again.

"You just called me Lateral Consort Yun, why did you change it now?" Yun Xi covered her face and laughed mockingly, "As you said, since you took that palanquin and entered the mansion, it is the people of Lord King Chu. Could it be that the matter in the mansion would be spread to the outside world? Whatever wet nurse said, the Emperor would believe it. It was just a small matter, how could the Emperor pursue it? "

"You are right? wet nurse?" Yun Xi paused for a moment and her ink-like eyes turned to wet nurse's side. She stared at her without moving and stared at her like a wild beast staring at its prey.

Wet nurse looked into Yun Xi's eyes and only after a long while did she want to nod her head and reply," Yes. Lateral Consort Yun has already bowed."

"Then now, this duke... Bengong can see His Royal Highness?" Bengong's title was originally a high-rank consort in the Palace and could be called Prince and First Concubine. Although Yun Xi was a side concubine, she still had the title of Yunmeng Country. It was not a problem for her to call herself this prince.

Changxu nodded, thinking that he had slapped his face enough today. No matter how much Yun Xi hated it, no matter how much trouble she caused, she could not find a reason to do so. She could only silently endure it.

After following Changxu for a long time in the Imperial Residence, they finally arrived at a room.

Without saying anything, a Phoenix long-tailed wedding dress with a red flame appeared in the room. It dyed Mu Ruqing's eyes.

Yu Longchen was lying on the bed because of his illness. His face was white and his lips were blue. He looked like he did not want to live for long.
