Chapter 570 Palace Change
On the day when the eldest princess married her daughter, there was a grand ceremony with red wedding ceremonies for ten miles and a lively atmosphere.
Jiang Qibin was riding by on horseback when he saw the wedding sedan passing by.
The wind blew, and the bride covered with a veil appeared.
"Don't look at it." Chen Yong said, "Don't miss the important thing."
Today, the Meng family is getting married, and County Lady Minghua is getting married. People from all over the city are lining up to watch this happy event.
Ever since Song Ruize spent so much money on his wedding, it feels like something's missing if it doesn't rain money on his wedding day. Three weddings have taken place in the city recently, and each one involved a splash of money. Therefore, the people are eagerly awaiting the Meng family's extravagant display of wealth.
The Meng family did not disappoint everyone. As expected, a lot of copper coins were scattered like flowers from heaven.
Although it was not as lavish as the Song family's, it was a pleasant surprise for the common people. After all, how many families could be as generous as the Song family?
The combination of the Meng Mansion and the Princess's Mansion was a powerful alliance among the elite aristocracy. Today, all civil and military officials of the fourth rank and above appeared with their families at the Meng Mansion's wedding banquet.
"I heard that the Queen Mother, the Emperor and the Queen have all appeared at the Meng Mansion." Someone said in the crowd.
"The daughter-in-law that the Meng family is marrying is the daughter of the eldest princess, that is, the daughter of a royal family member. It is normal for the nobles in the palace to come and watch the ceremony in person."
At this time, Qin Huiyin was having snacks with Li Taohua at Tang Mansion.
The hustle and bustle outside seemed to have nothing to do with them.
"Yinyin, if chaos breaks out later, can the people in our mansion protect us?" Li Taohua said, "Or, should we hide in the secret room?"
"Don't worry, mother. The chaos won't come to us." Qin Huiyin said, "I just don't know what's going on with big brother. Big brother is a weak scholar, and swords have no eyes. What if he gets hurt? With big brother's current official position, if he doesn't attend such a banquet, it will easily arouse suspicion. But don't worry, mother, I leave Song Yi to Song Si to big brother."
"Song Yi to Song Si are the personal guards your son-in-law arranged for you. Why did you keep them for your eldest brother? If chaos breaks out later and someone breaks into our Tang Mansion, wouldn't it be very dangerous if we don't have anyone who can fight with us?"
"Will not."
Tang Luwu came over with the prepared facial mask and said, "Let's make a facial mask! This is a good time to make a facial mask and then lie down and chat about gossip."
"Ever since you went to the border, you've become noticeably braver," Li Taohua said. "But you're doing very well now. Keep it up."
Shang Zimo walked in with his troops.
"Why are you here?" Tang Luwu had just put on her face mask when she saw Shang Zimo and his troops coming in. She asked in confusion, "Why did you bring people here? We haven't done anything wrong, have we?"
Shang Zimo was quite nervous at first, but was amused by her words.
"I'll leave some men for you, just in case there's chaos and you're left without anyone to protect you. These are the best of the Imperial Guards, all mine. You can trust them."
"Today is a good opportunity. If you seize it, maybe you can move up a bit." Qin Huiyin reminded.
"Thank you, Second Miss, for your advice."
Shang Zimo's advancement had nothing to do with the Tang family. In fact, Shang Zimo's original background was unknown to others, and Tang Yichen had no intention of getting close to him.
Tang Yichen hopes that Shang Zimo will become a hidden knife protecting the Tang family.
If he unfortunately became a victim of political struggle, at least there was such a hidden knife running around for the Tang family, so that his family would not be implicated by him.
"Zimo, be careful." Tang Luwu called out.
Shang Zimo nodded: "Don't worry, Miss, I will come back safely."
After Shang Zimo left, several women from the Tang family lay there applying facial masks, doing skin care, and chatting about interesting things that had happened recently, trying to pass the time and divert their attention.
At this time, the sound of fighting could be heard.
The pedestrians on the street became noisy.
"Oh my God! On such a happy day, there's a rebellion in the Meng Mansion."
"It's not the Meng Mansion, but the Princess. Someone just spread the news that the Princess poisoned the Meng family's wedding banquet. All the civil and military officials and their families were poisoned, including the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress, all of whom are members of the royal family. Everyone, go home and hide quickly. I think the situation in the capital is about to change."
"It's started." Li Taohua said.
"I'm suddenly a little nervous." Tang Luwu took off her mask and said worriedly, "Big Brother, Lord Song, and Zimo are all there. I'm on standby with the Imperial Hospital staff."
Qin Huiyin did not attend the wedding banquet because Song Ruize and Tang Yichen gathered all the people in the Tang family and explained that everything would be turned upside down on the day the eldest princess married her daughter.
Since we knew that something would happen that day, of course we couldn't let the Tang family members take risks.
All they had to do was wait for them to come back.
Originally, the eldest princess would not start a rebellion on this day, but in order to intensify the conflict and make the eldest princess make such an impulsive decision, Song Ruize and Tang Yichen worked hard to cooperate.
Among the eldest princess’s advisers is Tang Yichen’s man.
Someone on Song Ruize's side also created the illusion that the prince was going to attack the eldest princess on that day.
A bribe, a false plot, and the eldest princess's ambition clouded her mind. The Meng family pretended to surrender but was actually just cooperating in a play, which led to the current rebellion.
The eldest princess was played a game of chess by them, and her biggest mistake was being too self-righteous. She thought she had everyone in her hands, but that was not the case.
As this upheaval lasted longer, the women became increasingly restless.
Tang Dafu brought the roast duck and said, "I learned this from the chef in the kitchen. You can try my cooking skills."
Li Taohua said unhappily, "If you're scared, you can talk to us. We won't laugh at you."
Tang Dafu said: "I just want to learn something to make you happy."
Late that night, the fighting stopped.
Tang Yichen and Song Ruize's people came one after another to report that they were safe, saying that the eldest princess's party had been controlled, but there was no guarantee that there were no remnants, so they asked them not to go out.
That night, Qin Huiyin and Tang Luwu slept in each other's arms.
"Yinyin, if Big Brother lets Big Brother Wei start a rebellion, will he continue to fight and kill people like today? Will I also be as worried and frightened as I am today?"
"Yes." Qin Huiyin looked at Tang Luwu, "It's not too late to regret now."
Tang Luwu hugged her arm and shook her head gently: "I won't regret it."
Song Yi's voice came from outside the door: "Madam, Miss, Master Song and Master Tang are back. They are both going to bathe and change clothes, and will rest in the Tang Mansion tonight. Master Song said that Madam will sleep with the eldest lady tonight, and he will go to Madam's boudoir to rest before her wedding."
"You're back!" Tang Luwu said happily, "Do you know how things are going with the Imperial Guards? Is Shang Zimo okay?"
"Commander Shang has performed a meritorious service by saving the emperor. Although he was slightly injured, his life is not in danger, so he should be fine."
