Chapter 1258 Night Tour of the Imperial Palace
Princess Zhuoyang picked up the small gold ingot and smashed it on the follower's face. The follower reached out to catch the gold ingot and put it back into his waist.
"Don't worry, but don't lump me in with Wan Lianxing. I'm different from him. He's the most heartless person in the world! I'm not!" After saying this, the follower disappeared completely. No matter how Zhuoyang called out, he could not see the follower's shadow.
Princess Zhuoyang said bitterly, "Humph, they are different? How are they different? They are all of the same bad character. If you don't want to help me, then don't help me. The worst that can happen is that I, Princess Zhuoyang, will not live anymore. It's fine as long as I die!"
"Princess, please don't say stupid things or do stupid things! It's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death, so just accept your fate! Marrying to the southern Yan Kingdom is not necessarily a bad thing, so you must not commit suicide for Wan Lianxing!" The person who comforted her was Ling'er, and the only one who could stand with her at this time was this little maid.
Although Princess Zhuoyang was indignant, she couldn't find anyone to help her. Although she was a little desperate, she was not defeated by despair. Instead, she developed a strong desire in her heart, and she became more determined to meet Wan Lianxing. She secretly swore in her heart that she would meet Wan Lianxing no matter what.
But Wan Lianxing had no idea that, far away in the imperial palace of Dalang, there was a woman who was thinking about him all the time and was not even afraid of dying for him.
At this time, Wan Lianxing was in high spirits, experiencing the four great joys of life. He was a heavy drinker, and today, all the civil and military officials were sitting in the palace. He was happy and in high spirits, so he drank a few more glasses without control. Although his mind was still clear, his body was still a little shaky, and he was finally helped back to the palace by Suiying.
Shang Xi pulled Cheng Youning and said, "Son, it's over, let's go home too!"
"Mom, you guys go back first, I'll be back later!"
Cheng Feng looked at Cheng Youning, who obviously had bad intentions, and said, "Your grandfather has to get busy with some important stuff, what are you staying for? Come on, go home with us." Although they had been happy all day, they had gotten up early and were tired by now.
Cheng Youning said shamelessly: "I'll stay and see how Grandpa and Grandma consummate their marriage!"
For the first time, Shang Xi grabbed Cheng Youning's ear in front of everyone and scolded, "Cheng Youning, are you ashamed? You dare to say anything. Come home with me!"
"Mom, I'm just curious, please let me go, my ears are going to fall off!"
Shang Xi didn't want to teach Cheng Youning a lesson in public, so she let go of Cheng Youning's ear, held his hand and walked outside. She didn't let go until they got on the carriage, for fear that he would die if she let go.
But if Cheng Youning was thinking about something, he would not give up. He tossed and turned in bed, his eyes wide open, but he had no intention of falling asleep. Finally, he sat up, put on his clothes quietly, and prepared to leave quietly.
As soon as he went out, he saw Qiao Rong standing at the door. Cheng Youning patted his chest and said, "What are you doing standing here acting mysterious in the middle of the night? You scared me to death!"
"Young master, if you have nothing to hide, what is there to be afraid of!" Qiao Rong knew that Cheng Youning would wake up after a nap, so he had been standing at the door blocking him for a long time.
Cheng Youning reached out and covered Qiao Rong's mouth, and whispered, "Keep your voice down, don't let others hear it, come with me."
"To the palace?"
"You know this as well!"
Qiao Rong thought, he has been following Cheng Youning for four years, there is nothing he doesn't know about what this man is going to do, "Young Master, stop making trouble, it's better not to go, the emperor and the queen are resting at this time, and it's not customary to make trouble in the palace!"
Qiao Rong tried to persuade Cheng Youning with soft words, but he could not persuade her. Not only that, Cheng Youning had already walked ahead and said to Qiao Rong, "Hurry up and catch up."
"Young Master, have you forgotten what the Madam said?"
"You are mine, so just listen to me. You don't have to listen to my mother."
Qiao Rong felt embarrassed and could only follow them on the night tour of the palace. Fortunately, they were quite familiar with the palace. After all, they went there often. There might be some places that Wan Lianxing didn't know about, but they knew them all.
The two of them went to the palace with ease, heading towards Wan Lianxing's bedroom. Before they got close, they were stopped by the old butler, "Young Prince, why are you here at this time!"
"I came to see my grandpa and grandma, but you, old housekeeper, are still not asleep at this hour. What are you doing here?"
The old housekeeper said with a happy face: "This old servant can't sleep."
Cheng Youning smiled and said, "My young grandfather is getting married. Look how happy you are. I think you were just as happy when you got married."
"Hahahaha, I, this old slave, have never been married in my life!"
"Oh, then your situation is very difficult. It's easy to find a girl of 18 or 19, but it's hard to find an old lady of your age!"
Qiao Rong lowered his head and reached out to secretly poke Cheng Youning's lower back, whispering: "Young Master, who would marry an old lady when you see them getting married?"
The old housekeeper was still immersed in the joy of Wan Lianxing's marriage. He said with a smile: "Oh my little prince, why are you still making fun of me? Whether it's a young girl or an old lady, I don't have that kind of interest in you."
Cheng Youning also laughed when he heard this: "Old housekeeper, to use my grandfather's words, you are not motivated."
"He is ambitious? How come he can only get married if he is ambitious!" The old butler complained about Wan Lianxing while turning around and rolling his eyes at the hall behind him.
Cheng Youning patted the old housekeeper's arm and said, "You go back to sleep. I'll go see what my grandfather is doing!"
"Hey? Come back, you can't watch this, little prince, come back soon!" The old butler stretched his neck, lowered his voice, and kept shouting at Cheng Youning's back.
Cheng Youning was annoyed by the old butler's shouting, so he quickly slipped into the hall. The guards in front of the hall were dazzled and Cheng Youning disappeared. Knowing that Cheng Youning had gone in, they had no way to catch him, so they pretended not to see him and let Cheng Youning go. Only the old butler kept shouting.
Qiao Rong stood there with his arms folded, bored, hoping that Cheng Youning would come out soon.
Cheng Youning was very happy and came out after a while.
The old butler grabbed Cheng Youning's arm and asked with a half-smile, "Young Prince, what did you see?"
Qiao Rong's face secretly turned red and his heart beat twice, but he still stood there pretending to be calm. Only his ears pricked up unconsciously, waiting for Cheng Youning to tell him what he had just seen and heard. In fact, he was as curious as Cheng Youning. He also wanted to know what the emperor and the queen were doing on their wedding night.
