Chapter 383

As expected, City Lord Mo finally agreed to the marriage.

It has nothing to do with power and interests, I just want my daughter to get what she wants.

However, there was an additional condition promised along with this marriage: if one day Lu Tingyu treats Mo Wansheng badly, or if Lu Tingyu falls in love with another woman, he will let Mo Wansheng return to Lingnan.

This is the best solution that City Master Mo came up with after spending several days and nights without sleep.

Lu Tingyu did not speak, but asked someone to get a pen and paper. He wrote an oath on the spot, stamped his personal seal, and then solemnly sent it to City Master Mo. "Uncle Mo, don't worry, Ting Yu will definitely meet you." Wait for Shengsheng to be well."

Looking at the clear black and white words on the oath, City Master Mo finally felt a little more at ease.

Although he didn't know what would happen in the future, at this moment, he could see that Lu Tingyu was sincere.

Hualing City is thousands of miles away from Shengjing. It is impossible for the Mo family to go there to prepare for Mo Wangsheng's wedding. In addition, Lu Tingyu's parents have passed away, so after some discussion, the wedding venue was finally decided in Hualing. Lingcheng.

After learning such a result, Mo Wansheng was undoubtedly happy.

Seeing Mo Wansheng's bright smile, Lu Tingyu and the Mo family were naturally very satisfied, because Mo Wansheng was their favorite girl.

On October 28th of the first year of Jiahe, Lu Tingyu, the eldest son of the Prince of Jing'an, married Mo Wansheng, the daughter of the lord of Hualing City. The whole Hualing City congratulated them. The main road was filled with red flowers and the sound of celebratory firecrackers could be heard in the streets and alleys.

At the same time, the betrothal gift that Lu Tingyu ordered to prepare for several days was also delivered to Hualing City.

Twenty cargo carriages tied with red silk lined up and entered the city one after another, heading straight to the city lord's palace. They were escorted by fifty guards from Prince Jing'an's palace in uniform in front and behind, creating a great scene.

Seeing the long line of carriages lining up outside the house, everyone in the Mo family was shocked. When did Lu Tingyu prepare all this?

While everyone was puzzled, Lu Tingyu had already taken the gift list from the guard commander and handed it to Lord Mo with both hands, "Although uncle said everything should be simple, Tingyu thought that marrying far away to Shengjing was a injustice to Shengsheng, so other girls should Yes, she should get double.

This was a betrothal gift prepared by my mother when she was still alive, just waiting for the day when I find the person I like. Now that I hand this betrothal gift into my uncle's hands, it can be regarded as fulfilling the long-awaited expectations of my mother and concubine. "

Lu Tingyu said sincerely, and City Lord Mo accepted it with a happy face. The amount of the betrothal gift was not important, what was important was Lu Tingyu's thoughts about Mo Wansheng.

The most obvious criterion for judging whether a man really likes a woman is whether he is willing to put his mind into it.

There is no doubt that Lu Tingyu did this, and did it extremely well.

…

Because the death anniversary of King Jing'an was at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, Lu Tingyu and Mo Wangsheng only stayed for a few days before preparing to leave for Shengjing.

Before leaving, Lu Tingyu promised that when the Reunion Festival comes next August, he will bring Mo Wansheng back to celebrate the Reunion Festival with the Mo family.

City Lord Mo agreed with a smile on his face.

After saying goodbye for a while, Lu Tingyu got into the carriage with Mo Wansheng, who was already dressed as a woman.

Horse hooves were raised, dust was flying, and the thirteen carriages moved away from the sight one after another, gradually turning into small black spots that could not be seen clearly, and finally disappeared.

Of the thirteen carriages, the one at the head was naturally occupied by Lu Tingyu and Mo Wansheng, while the twelve carriages at the back contained the dowry that City Lord Mo had carefully prepared for Mo Wansheng over the years.

Mo Wansheng was the treasure that City Lord Mo held in the palm of his hand. The dowry was so rich that the twelve carriages would naturally be filled with it. Because it was a long way to Shengjing, only half of it was taken away, and the rest was taken away. City Lord Mo converted all the money into silver and gave it all to Mo Wansheng.

In the carriage, Mo Wansheng looked at the exquisitely patterned mahogany box in her arms, and her thoughts couldn't help but drift to last night.

In the study, City Master Mo and Mo Wansheng sat opposite each other. On the table in the middle was this mahogany box.

Looking at the pretty daughter in front of him, City Master Mo felt even more reluctant to give up, but he could only force it down, "Shengsheng, tomorrow you will go to Shengjing with Prince Lu. At the feet of the emperor, money must be used. Indispensable, there are three hundred thousand taels here, whether it is managing subordinates or cultivating contacts, it will always be useful. "

With that said, he pushed the mahogany box on the table in front of Mo Wansheng.

Mo Wansheng refused without even thinking, "Dad, the dowry you brought me is already enough. Even if I don't need a penny from Prince Jing'an's palace, it will be enough for my daughter to spend the rest of her life."

Although the Mo family has a big business, 300,000 taels is not a minority.

City Lord Mo smiled, his eyes full of nostalgia, "Shengsheng, your mother left before you were three years old. At that time, my father thought that he would not let you suffer any injustice in the future. It was also from that time From now on, daddy has started saving a dowry for you.

Now that you are marrying far away, you cannot take away all the dowry, so dad took it upon himself to exchange it for you in silver coins, so these are things that belong to you. "

The meaning of City Lord Mo's words was obvious, because it was hers, so there was no need to feel any guilt in taking it away.

But Mo Wansheng knew clearly that what City Master Mo said was just to make her feel better.

Looking at her father who had doted on her unconditionally for sixteen years, Mo Wansheng's eyes immediately turned red, "Daddy..."

City Master Mo held Mo Wansheng's hand tightly and said in a gentle voice, "Daddy is here."

I'm afraid it won't be easy to hear this call "Daddy" in the future.

"When you first arrived in Shengjing, you must not be used to the food and life. Daddy prepared some cakes that you like to eat in the carriage, as well as some clothes that you didn't have time to wear. Daddy also put them in the carriage. When you arrive in Shengjing, you must take good care of yourself, you know?”

The more he spoke, the more uncomfortable he became, but City Master Mo managed to hold himself back from crying.

Mo Wansheng has been a sensible girl since she was a child. If he cried, this girl might feel guilty for a long time.

But City Lord Mo could bear it, but Mo Wansheng couldn't. Her tears kept falling like broken beads, soaking her collar in an instant.

"I'm sorry, Daddy, it's my daughter's fault for making you worry..."

Mo Wansheng was crying hard. City Master Mo stood up and walked to her side and took her into his arms with a distressed look on his face, "Silly girl, I can worry about you before it's too late for dad to be happy."

However, I am afraid there will be no such opportunity in the future...

"Shengsheng?"

Seeing that Mo Wansheng lowered her head and remained motionless for a long time, Lu Tingyu called her softly.

Mo Wansheng looked up with red eyes, and Lu Tingyu immediately took her into his arms with a look of love on his face, "Don't be sad, I will accompany you back until next year."

"Yes." Mo Wansheng responded in Lu Tingyu's arms. Her voice was muffled, as if a wooden hammer had hit his heart, causing waves of pain.

…

On the sixteenth day of the winter lunar month, Lu Tingyu and Mo Wansheng arrived in Shengjing smoothly, and the entire palace of Prince Jing'an stood in two rows to welcome them.

"Welcome the prince and madam back!" The voice was majestic and well-trained.

Lu Tingyu nodded to everyone, held Mo Wansheng's hand and walked towards the mansion.

It had been more than ten days since she left Hualing City, and with Lu Tingyu always by her side, the sadness in Mo Wansheng's heart had dissipated a little.

Lu Tingyu took Mo Wansheng to the courtyard where he lived, and asked his servants to put her belongings into the house one by one, before taking her to see the new clothes that had been prepared long ago.

"Shengjing is no better than Hualing. The climate is very cold. You can't wear your clothes for the time being, so I ordered people to prepare these for you. I don't know if they are the styles you like. You can wear them reluctantly. I will wear them later." Call the embroiderer, tell her the style you want, and rush out a few dozen pieces first."

Looking at a cabinet of brightly colored clothes, Mo Wansheng raised her lips in a great mood, "There's no need to go through such trouble, my husband chose all the ones I like."

Hearing this, Lu Tingyu chuckled: "You are always sweet-mouthed."

"But even if you like it, these clothes are still too few. I'll have to call the embroiderer over later and make more for you, or I'll accompany you to the tailor shop outside, which will just happen to show you the customs and customs of Shengjing." ”

"Then go out, I just want to go outside for a walk."

Lu Tingyu responded and took Mo Wansheng's hand out of the house again.

Everyone in the house couldn't help but raise their brows happily when they saw how affectionate the two were.

Prince Jing'an's palace has always been harmonious, and Lu Tingyu is a good master, so they all hope that Lu Tingyu can live a good life.

Lu Tingyu accompanied Mo Wansheng to several well-known clothing stores in Shengjing. After generously choosing a dozen pieces of clothing, he took her to a nearby jewelry store. Anyone who Mo Wansheng took a few more glances at Bought by Lu Tingyu.

Seeing his generous appearance, Mo Wansheng couldn't help but smile and roll his eyes.

Lu Tingyu accompanied Mo Wansheng around for five or six days. It was not until they visited all the shops and streets in Shengjing that the two of them calmed down a bit.

However, as soon as they stopped here, a message came from the palace: Lu Tingyu had been away from Beijing for a long time, and Chu Nanchen missed his former brother, so he invited the two of them to the palace for a chat.

Lu Tingyu agreed with a smile, but as soon as the eunuch who delivered the order left, Lu Tingyu pursed his lips.

Although Mo Wansheng had never heard Lu Tingyu mention his parents, he could vaguely guess something.

After all, in the whole world, the only people in the world who dared to openly and generously assassinate King Jing'an, who was as noble as the royal family, were the rulers of Chu, the royal family.

Anyone with a discerning eye can guess this truth, but no one dares to mention it.

Mo Wansheng didn't know how to comfort Lu Tingyu, so she could only hold his hand tightly.

Feeling the warmth in the palm of his hand, Lu Tingyu came back to his senses, turned to look at Mo Wansheng, and gave a forced smile, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

It was hard to disobey the holy will, even if Lu Tingyu didn't want to see Chu Nanchen anymore, he had no choice but to leave for the palace.

In the carriage, Lu Tingyu held Mo Wansheng's hand and hesitated for a long time before deciding to confess to Mo Wansheng, "Shengsheng, do you still remember what I told you before that I once had a sweetheart?"

Mo Wansheng didn't know what Lu Tingyu wanted to say, but he nodded, "Remember."

Looking at Mo Wansheng's eyes full of trust, Lu Tingyu felt even more guilty, "I haven't told you the identity of that person because I always felt it was too early and there was no need, but now I feel that some things should not be kept from you."

In Mo Wansheng's slightly puzzled eyes, Lu Tingyu slowly told the truth, "The person I told you about is the current queen, Jiang Lingyi."

"I had known her for several years, but in the end she couldn't stand the oppression of the imperial power. She married into the East Palace and became the Crown Princess, while I didn't marry for several years until my parents passed away, and then I left Shengjing."

Such a truth was beyond Mo Wansheng's expectations, but if you think about it carefully, it was expected.

Mo Wansheng did not dwell too much on the fact that they had a relationship before, but asked frankly: "Will your husband's old feelings be aroused when he sees her?"

Lu Tingyu shook his head seriously, "No."

Lu Tingyu was very clear that Jiang Lingyi was already the past, and Mo Wansheng was her present and future.

Hearing this, Mo Wansheng pursed her lips and smiled, "Everyone has their own past and secrets. As long as your husband has me in his heart at this moment, that's enough."

Compared to the dark and untraceable past, Mo Wansheng obviously cares more about the present that can be held in his hands.

Mo Wansheng's transparency made Lu Tingyu's guilt fade a little, and he was holding her fingers more gently, "Shengsheng is generous, and I am very happy."

Mo Wansheng glanced at him proudly, "Then you must treat me better in the future."

Lu Tingyu smiled, "Okay."

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the palace gate.

After getting off the carriage, Lu Tingyu took Mo Wansheng's hand and walked into the palace, introducing the buildings and scenery in the palace to her as they walked.

Prince Lu, who was always quiet, kept talking, and the pretty and beautiful woman beside him smiled and responded from time to time. The scene was warm and beautiful, which made the palace maids and guards who came and went look at them a few more times.

Because it was just a small palace banquet for four people, Chu Nanchen set the venue in the Qianqing Palace.

When Lu Tingyu and Mo Wansheng came, the emperor and the empress had already sat down. Although they were smiling, they had their own thoughts.

Chu Nanchen was worried that Jiang Lingyi was still obsessed with Lu Tingyu, and Jiang Lingyi was subconsciously upset because Lu Tingyu had already married.

Just when the teacups in front of the emperor and the empress had been empty twice, Lu Tingyu and Mo Wansheng finally arrived.

Chu Nanchen greeted Lu Tingyu and the others kindly as usual, and Jiang Lingyi smiled at them, with a warm and amiable look, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.

After only one year in the imperial palace, Jiang Lingyi was already full of the elegant and noble aura of a mother of the country, and there was no trace of her former appearance.

Such Jiang Lingyi was undoubtedly unfamiliar to Lu Tingyu.

Lu Tingyu bowed slightly to Chu Nanchen, and Mo Wansheng beside him followed suit. The etiquette was not standard, but it was barely acceptable.

Chu Nanchen hurriedly called the two to stand up, "Today there is no emperor or empress, nor Prince Jing'an and Princess Jing'an. Let's just treat it as a normal brother meeting, no need to be restrained."

Lu Tingyu smiled and nodded, and sat down next to Chu Nanchen, and Mo Wansheng followed and sat next to him.

Since it was a brother meeting, Chu Nanchen naturally did not talk about political affairs, but asked about Lu Tingyu's whereabouts and experiences in the past six months.

Lu Tingyu did not hide it, and briefly talked about his travels to several cities and finally met Mo Wansheng in Hualing City.

Upon learning that the two were in love, Chu Nanchen was genuinely happy for Lu Tingyu, "If the King of Jing'an and the Princess knew that you had found a girl to accompany you for life, they would probably be relieved."

Jiang Lingyi also smiled and agreed, "Your Majesty is right. Seeing that Prince Lu has found a good wife, this palace and Your Majesty are also happy for you."

She smiled on her face, but her fingers under the table had already pinched into her palms.

Jiang Lingyi had been treated sincerely by Lu Tingyu, so she knew what he looked like when he really liked someone, and Mo Wansheng was undoubtedly such a person.

After four years of being alone, he finally got married, and he married someone who was in love with him.

In love with each other... Thinking of these words, Jiang Lingyi only felt ironic. Obviously, she and Lu Tingyu were in love with each other, but why didn't she have such a good life as Mo Wansheng?
