Chapter 128 Wedding

Ye Qinghuai stood up and crossed the desk, helped Lu Yanchen up, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Sir, get up quickly, I still don't deserve this compliment from you."

Lu Yanchen raised his head and saw Ye Qinghuai's left arm hanging with a bandage.

He stood up, but his eyes still stayed on her left arm.

"The injury on your Majesty's shoulder has not healed yet?" he couldn't help but blurt out.

Ye Qinghuai followed his gaze and glanced at his left arm, smiled hastily and said, "It's almost done."

She and Lu Yanchen were injured on the same day, but Lu Yanchen had already recovered and could run and jump. She was obviously much less injured than him, but now a month later she was still hanging her arm, which made Lu Yanchen feel sad.

Worry arose.

But Lu Yanchen could never have imagined that Ye Qinghuai's injury took so long to be cured, and it was entirely because she had instructed Zhou Shouyi to do it.

Her purpose is also very simple, that is, to have a legitimate reason to prevaricate her wedding night.

"Your Majesty has just lost his crown, so don't be careless. If there are any sequelae, your riding and archery will be affected in the future." Seeing her disapproving look, Lu Yanchen warned with a slight frown.

Although he has resigned from the post of Imperial Master, when he speaks to Ye Qinghuai, his words will occasionally inadvertently reveal the tone of a teacher lecturing a student.

Ye Qinghuai couldn't express the pain in his heart, so he could only say respectfully: "Sir, what you said is true, I must pay attention to it. But with Dr. Zhou watching from the side, I think there won't be any sequelae, so you don't have to worry, sir."

Lu Yanchen knew that Ye Qinghuai had an idea, so he just said it, so he didn't say much.

The two of them looked at each other in silence for a while. Lu Yanchen suddenly remembered something and said, "Your Majesty is getting married tomorrow. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to have this arm like this."

Ye Qinghuai chuckled softly and said: "If my injury is investigated, it will be blamed on old man Gu Ge. Tomorrow will be more ugly. As the head of the country, he can understand."

"What does it matter whether Mr. Gu Ge is considerate or not? This is His Majesty's own marriage. If it is ugly, it will also be a loss of royal dignity." Lu Yanchen said.

"Sir, what you said is wrong. My marriage was only for Gu Shihai to see. If we talk about royal dignity, when I was forced by him to issue an edict to establish a legitimate daughter outside Chengtian Gate, royal dignity no longer existed.

"Ye Qinghuai said calmly. She paused, then changed the topic and said, "But, I don't care. I only care about winning or losing in the end. As long as I can beat him, I can earn back my dignity."

After saying that, she slightly raised the corners of her mouth and smiled at Lu Yanchen, her smile gentle and calm.

In her heart, she never really regarded this wedding as her own.

Just like those state banquets hosted by the Ministry of Etiquette every New Year's Eve and Mid-Autumn Festival, she only regarded herself as an indispensable part of those complicated etiquette.

She never felt like she was the star of these celebrations.

She is just one of many participants, playing the role of emperor.

Lu Yanchen was obviously aware of the emperor's negative mood, so he advised as a Taiqing Pavilion official: "Your Majesty, our court adheres to the system of monogamy and multiple concubines. No matter how the marriage was concluded,

This is your once-in-a-lifetime wedding, so please don’t take it lightly.”

Ye Qinghuai shook his head and said frankly to Lu Yanchen: "I pay great attention to this wedding. Sir, when you walked into the palace, you saw that the corridors were already covered with red silk. Every palace was decorated with red silk.

Lanterns were decorated, and even the flowers in the palace were replaced with bright red peonies and hydrangeas. I also personally inspected and supervised the matters concerning the visits of relatives, lords, and officials from various places to the capital to celebrate. Just these various matters cost me two years.

More than one million taels of silver."

"Sir, you must have heard in the morning that regarding this wedding, I have approved the request for budget overruns from the Ministry of Rites. I know the importance of this wedding. This is the first time I have worked in Kyushu since I took office.

When you appear in public, you must do so in a dignified manner to demonstrate the majesty of the royal family and shock everyone around you. As for the money that the Ministry of Rites has lost, I will allocate it back to them from the inner court."

Ye Qinghuai lowered his head and looked at his arm and said, "As for this arm of mine, to be honest with you sir, I did it deliberately."

"Your Majesty, why..." Lu Yanchen was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Because of the imperial edict that the prince will be his heir." Ye Qinghuai interrupted Lu Yanchen and said, "I can't go back on my golden words. However, I can't let the blood of the Gu family flow on my prince. It's just that... the harem

If you have nothing to do, you must always give the world a reason."

Lu Yanchen didn't expect her to have this reason. He was stunned for a while and suddenly asked a question that Ye Qinghuai hadn't expected: "Is Your Majesty still thinking about Concubine Lan in your heart?"

He half-closed his eyes, his eyes flickering a little.

Ye Qinghuai suddenly remembered that at the beginning of the year she wanted to make Mr. Chen Ge's granddaughter her queen. Lu Yanchen had asked her for her portrait once, and he had the same look at that time.

Three-thirds of the feeling of confusion, three-thirds of the loneliness of self-pity, and three-thirds of uneasy expectations, mixed with a bit of cowardice.

It's more like a girl carefully testing the feelings of her crush.

I have to say that this kind of expression appears on a person like Lu Yanchen, which is inconsistent but somewhat cute.

Ye Qinghuai looked at his expression and wondered why he didn't realize he had such an interesting side before.

She smiled slightly at Lu Yanchen and said, "The relationship between me and Qin Baozhu is not what sir thinks."

Lu Yanchen cast a surprised and puzzled look at her.

"Her weight in my heart is indeed very important, but it is not as heavy as Mr. thought." Ye Qinghuai sighed and said, "I can't explain it to Mr. now. Maybe one day in the future, I can tell everything.

gentlemen."

In the past, Lu Yanchen always played tricks on her, but now she also played tricks on her, so it was even.

"Speaking of which, it seems inconsistent with etiquette for a student to get married before he has a family yet." Ye Qinghuai changed the subject.

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven and is connected with the country. Your Majesty's marriage is also a national event. Naturally, it cannot be discussed on a regular basis." Lu Yanchen said.

"Where's sir? Why haven't you married yet?" Ye Qinghuai thought of the question that he had always been curious about.

But now that she asked the question, she no longer felt the bitterness. If Lu Yanchen got married and had children, she would be able to bless him calmly and sincerely.

Perhaps this is the relief after accepting one's fate.

"I don't have anything to offer, so I don't dare to delay the ladies in my boudoir." Lu Yanchen replied.

"Sir, please don't talk to me with such polite words. I really want to know." Ye Qinghuai showed her determination to break the casserole and get to the bottom of it.

Lu Yanchen was silent, as if he remembered something from the past, and his expression darkened. After a while, he replied: "I have never considered starting a family, nor have I ever thought about marrying a wife and having children."

"Why?" Ye Qinghuai couldn't help but asked in surprise, "There are three types of unfilial piety, and the worst is not having children. Sir, I always value etiquette, how could you have such an idea?"

Lu Yanchen's expression became a little darker. He forced a forced smile and said to Ye Qinghuai: "I can't answer your Majesty now. If your Majesty insists on asking, I can only say that I don't know."

Facing Ye Qinghuai's puzzled look, Lu Yanchen added: "To borrow a word from His Majesty, maybe one day in the future, I can tell His Majesty everything."
