Chapter 789: Bliss, sharing both honor and disgrace
Lin Chujiu was undoubtedly beautiful when dressed up. Even if it was not the first time seeing Lin Chujiu dressed up, the moment Lin Chujiu appeared, Xiao Tianyao still felt hesitant for a moment.
This woman was very dazzling.
“Very good!” Xiao Tianyao stepped forward, holding Lin Chujiu’s hand.
Lin Chujiu smiled. Her smile was very light, and her bright black eyes were looking directly at Xiao Tianyao as if she could read people’s hearts. For a moment, Xiao Tianyao felt that he was very embarrassed as if he had nothing he could hide from Lin Chujiu.
However, Lin Chujiu didn’t say anything, and slowly boarded the carriage with Xiao Tianyao’s support.
The carriage was arranged more comfortably than before, and tea and snacks were placed on the coffee table in the middle, which was obviously prepared for Lin Chujiu. Because Xiao Tianyao never ate these things in the carriage.
Lin Chujiu glanced at them and then looked at Xiao Tianyao again. Her eyes were full of smiles: “Thank you, wangye.”
“Ahem…the housekeeper prepared it.” Xiao Tianyao, who has always been calm, felt a little uncomfortable when he met Lin Chujiu’s bright eyes.
This feeling of being out of control was really bad.
“I’m not talking about that, I’m talking about what happened yesterday… Thank you, wangye, for saving my face.” She thought about it carefully last night, and probably understood the reason why Xiao Tianyao didn’t let her go back to the capital alone.
This man, maybe wanted to support her, and he didn’t want her to be looked down upon in the capital.
In this world, the only thing that can make a woman toughen up was getting the support of her husband and her natal family. She doesn’t have the support of her natal family. If she doesn’t want to be not underestimated, she must get double support from her husband.
“Yesterday… don’t take it to heart.” Xiao Tianyao’s face was as calm as waves, and he was no longer embarrassed by last night. However, if people look carefully, they will find that his right little finger moved unconsciously, which showed that he was not as calm as he appeared.
Lin Chujiu lowered her head and hid the smile from the corner of her mouth. Afraid of making Xiao Tianyao anxious. Lin Chujiu kindly let him go and didn’t continue this topic, but talked about going to pay homage to those guards who died protecting her.
This was something agreed upon in advance, Xiao Tianyao would not refuse, but he also expressed that Lin Chujiu could go, but he would not.
If he went with her, what about those guards who died protecting him? What about the guards who will die protecting him in the future?
His identity predestined him not to be willful and just do whatever he wants. He needs to think carefully about everything he does, because one of his actions may have a huge impact.
“Don’t worry, wangye, I know what I’m doing, and I’ll do it well in the future.” Lin Chujiu knew what Xiao Tianyao was telling her, and also reminded her that once she started it, if she encounters the same thing in the future, she will have to do it, or she will chill the hearts of other subordinates.
“Mmm.” Xiao Tianyao nodded, looking at Lin Chujiu’s eyes a little more inquiringly.
Lin Chujiu was still the same as Lin Chujiu, but there was something different.
She never did anything bad in his life and was not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. Lin Chujiu met Xiao Tianyao’s scrutiny generously, without any timidity or anxiety.
She just figured it out and decided to stop being an ostrich.
For the rest of the journey, the two were relatively speechless, and just looked at each other until the carriage stopped, and a servant reminded them: “Wangye, wangfei, we are here.” They pretended nothing happened and looked away calmly.
“Get out.” Xiao Tianyao got out of the carriage first and stretched out his hand to help Lin Chujiu get off as usual. He didn’t have an identity with Lin Chujiu just because he arrived at the palace.
Lin Chujiu didn’t think there was anything wrong with Xiao Tianyao’s supporting her, she was as calm as holding the hand of a little eunuch.
The husband and wife felt that this was a very normal thing, but they didn’t know that the eunuch’s mouth which was waiting at the side opened wide in shock because of this scene. He didn’t close it for a long time.
He has stayed in the palace for more than forty years and he has been with his master. He has met many imperial family members, nobles, and high-ranking officials. He has never seen a husband from a family who would personally help his wife and carefully watch his wife get off the carriage.
It was widely rumored in the capital that Prince Xiao valued Concubine Xiao. He thought it was just rumored from outsiders, or that Prince Xiao did it on purpose. Only after seeing it today did he realize that the rumors from outsiders were less than one-tenth. Prince Xiao did not just value Concubine Xiao, but he put Princess Xiao on top of his heart. Otherwise, he wouldn’t pay attention to her getting off the carriage, nor carefully support her, for fear that she would fall.
“I heard that Prince Xiao waited for the princess at the city gate for 2 hours yesterday. When he saw Princess Xiao, he got into the carriage impatiently. The people thought it was an exaggeration, but today it seems to be true.” The eunuch who was at the side couldn’t help shaking his head.
Everyone knows that the emperor loves Imperial Concubine Zhou, but the emperor’s love for Imperial Concubine Zhou was nothing more than treating her as a kitten or puppy. Unlike Prince Xiao who pays careful attention to Princess Xiao’s needs.
“There is nothing good comparing people with others. Who would have thought that Eldest Miss Lin would have such a fortune.” Thinking of the crown prince who was forced to hide in the palace by the Zhou family, the eunuch couldn’t help laughing.
When the eldest lady of the Lin family didn’t become a crown princess, others said she was unfortunate. But looking at it today, it was really hard to say who was unfortunate.
He doesn’t know if the empress and the crown prince regretted it.
Xiao Tianyao helped Lin Chujiu off the carriage and let go. After the eunuch was dazed, he soon returned to normal, stepped forward, and respectfully saluted the two: “This servant greets wangye and wangfei.”
Xiao Tianyao didn’t say anything, Lin Chujiu glanced at him, and could only say: “No need for the ceremony.”
The eunuch seemed to have gotten used to it a long time ago, straightened up, and stepped aside, “Wangye, wangfei, the emperor, and the empress are already waiting in the Luanfeng Hall. Please, this way… …”
Xiao Tianyao still didn’t make a sound, glanced at Lin Chujiu and motioned for her to follow, and then walked towards the Luanfeng Palace. Followed by the chief eunuch and a row of eunuchs and palace maids, who were older than Lin Chujiu. The parade became more than twice that when Lin Chujiu entered the next day after her wedding.
If the crown prince sees this scene, who knows what he will think?
The Emperor and the Empress had been waiting in the hall for a long time. The Emperor looked good, with a smile on his face. On the other hand, the Empress looked like just recovering from a serious illness. Her body was a little thin, and her complexion was not very good, but her expression was kind.
When Lin Chujiu walked in, she took only one glance, then looked away, and followed Xiao Tianyao to pay greetings.
“His Majesty, the Empress.” Xiao Tianyao stood in the hall, making a casual bow with both hands, without even bending his waist.
As Xiao Tianyao’s wife, Lin Chujiu naturally had to follow suit.
“This concubine pays respects to the emperor and the empress.” Lin Chujiu smiled slightly but did not kneel.
It was still the same sentence, she was Xiao Tianyao’s wife. She and Xiao Tianyao share both honor and disgrace. No need to mention about their relationship in private time, but in front of the Emperor, she must and can only stand on Xiao Tianyao’s side… …
