Chapter 239 Farewell
Luo Yudian seemed to be thinking about something else. After hearing Jiang Wanyue's words, he responded after a while.
"Yes."
She spoke briefly and most of the time she just sat there without saying anything. When others took the initiative to talk to her, she would only reply with one or two words at most. She was like an invisible person in this palace.
If she didn't have the third prince, her presence would probably be even lower than that of the lowest concubine.
After saying "yes", she closed her mouth and never spoke again.
Jiang Wanyue didn't talk to her about anything else and looked around.
"While I am away from the palace, the palace will be temporarily managed by Yu Zhaorong. If you need anything, just look for Yu Zhaorong."
Yu Chuyue stood up quickly and bowed gently to Jiang Wanyue.
"Thank you for your trust, Queen. I will definitely live up to your trust."
Jiang Wanyue nodded with a smile and motioned her to sit down.
After chatting for a while, seeing that it was almost time, Zhu Yan stood up on his own initiative.
"It's getting late, I'll take my leave now."
As soon as she stood up, it was like a signal, and the other concubines also hurriedly stood up and bowed to say goodbye.
"Yu Zhaorong."
Jiang Wanyue called out to Yu Chuyue.
Yu Chuyue took small steps towards Jiang Wanyue.
"Your Majesty, do you have any more instructions?"
Jiang Wanyue looked at the leaving crowd, a light flashed in her eyes, and then she looked away.
"You stay here. You have been helping me with palace affairs for so many years, you are familiar with it. When the ladies-in-waiting come in later, you will meet them here."
Yu Chuyue nodded slightly.
"There is one more very important thing." Jiang Wanyue's expression suddenly became serious. "Everyone who comes in and out of the palace is recorded. I want to know which palace and whose people have had contact with the Crown Prince's Mansion."
Yu Chuyue’s eyes suddenly widened.
she thought for a moment and then asked.
"My queen, is it because of what happened yesterday? Did something happen to the prince in Dingbei Palace? You suspect it was done by someone in the palace? But why don't you start investigating directly from the people in Dingbei Palace?"
There are many people coming in and out of the palace every day, and there are several palace gates. If we want to check everything, it will take more than a few days.
Jiang Wanyue pursed her lips, her eyes indifferent.
"The people in Dingbei Palace were all appointed by the emperor. Do you think you can find out?"
When Yu Chuyue thought of the two people who were beaten to death yesterday, his neck shrank.
"But how can you be sure that he is someone from the palace?"
The corner of Jiang Wanyue's mouth curled up for a moment, but then quickly disappeared.
"I'm not sure, it's just a guess, so you don't have to worry too much about it. Just check it slowly. It doesn't matter if there is any result or not."
There was obvious confusion in Yu Chuyue's eyes. He didn't understand why he should check it himself if it didn't matter?
Jiang Wanyue had no explanation.
"Okay, let's go rest next door for a while!"
She clapped her hands, stood up and walked into the inner room.
Yu Chuyue bent his knees towards her back and then walked out.
Jiang Wanyue walked into the inner room and sat down in front of the dressing table.
After a short rest, she waved to Xing'er to come over and change her hair crown and dress.
After everything was packed up, Jiang Wanyue brought a few trusted palace maids, walked out of Fenglai Palace, and got on the phoenix chariot.
The three concubines naturally also had their own sedan chairs.
The group first went to the Liangyi Hall, and after meeting up with the emperor, they headed towards the palace gate together.
Outside the palace, Prince Dingbei and his new wife were already prepared.
A long convoy stretched from the palace gate to the end of the street, and the end was almost invisible.
In addition to the accompanying personnel, the caravan also carried various supplies, more than when Tujie came. Most of these were Qixia's dowry.
The princesses of the Great Zhou were treated very well. Although Qixia was not Li Ce's biological daughter, because she married a foreigner, it was an alliance and therefore her dowry was even higher.
However, because she was marrying far away, she could not take the fields, shops, houses, etc. in her dowry with her and could only exchange them for other things.
Originally, the Ministry of Rites suggested replacing them with supplies that were in short supply on the grassland, but under Jiang Wanyue's persuasion, they finally replaced them with people.
Yes, that’s right, it’s people!
Not an ordinary servant, but a guard.
Li Ce selected five hundred men from the imperial guards and another five hundred men from various camps in the suburbs of the capital to form a thousand-man guard team for the princess.
In addition, there were many carpenters and tilers, utensil makers, tailors and embroiderers, cooks and cooks, goldsmiths and silversmiths, and even craftsmen responsible for digging wells.
Although groundwater is hard to find on the grassland, what if?
In addition, Jiang Wanyue carefully selected four doctors to accompany her.
These four doctors are good at different things. One of them is very good at treating pediatric diseases, and another is a relative of the master of gynecology in the Imperial Hospital.
These four doctors, their apprentices, and two midwives greatly ensured Qixia's personal safety, preventing her from having any accidents during pregnancy and childbirth.
Looking at these people in the team, Jiang Wanyue felt emotional.
Even if my own daughter was getting married, I wouldn't worry so much.
Officials from the Ministry of Rites presented farewell wine.
Li Ce and King Dingbei each held a glass and spoke politely, while Jiang Wanyue brought the female relatives to Qixia's carriage.
Qixia got off the carriage and bowed to Jiang Wanyue.
Under her cloak was a dress with narrow sleeves, which allowed her to move easily.
The hair was combed into a bun so that it would not loosen easily.
After the wedding night, Qixia did not show much charm or shyness, but more determination.
"Qixia bids farewell here."
She bowed again.
Jiang Wanyue supported her.
"Have a safe trip."
Qixia's lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it in the end.
Jiang Wanyue patted her hands and glanced at Concubine Rong who was crying.
"Your godmother, I will take good care of her."
Qixia's eyes showed relief and she smiled.
Then, she bowed to each of the three concubines and touched the heads of the two sisters Li Chengyin and Li Chengqing.
Then he turned and got on the carriage.
The long whip was swung, and the crackling sound echoed in the air for a long time.
After watching the convoy gradually move away, Li Ce led everyone back to the palace.
There is still a lot of work to do in the previous dynasty.
Jiang Wanyue did not return to Fenglai Palace.
After giving some instructions to Xing'er and the others, she went to Li Chengyu's residence with only a palace maid.
Li Chengyu still doesn't know what happened yesterday.
She didn't go to the wedding yesterday, nor did she go to the farewell party today. She sat alone in front of the window, bored, flipping through a booklet with a blank cover.
As soon as Jiang Wanyue entered the room, Li Chengyu hurriedly hid the booklet behind him and tried hard to pretend that nothing was wrong.
"Why are you here, mother?"
Jiang Wanyue glanced behind her and raised her eyebrows.
"Next time you want to read these books, remember to go into the inner room so that you won't be easily discovered."
Li Chengyu stuck out his tongue, then moved forward and held Jiang Wanyue's arm in a flattering manner.
"I just took a look out of boredom, nothing else. By the way, has the Capricorn left?"
Jiang Wanyue nodded and took her to sit down.
"They've already left. They're probably leaving town by now."
"What about Qixia? How does she look? Did she cry?" Li Chengyu asked with his head tilted.
Jiang Wanyue laughed.
"You yourself refused to send her off, and now you ask me?"
Li Chengyu was hesitant.
"Didn't I ask Yin'er to bring her a gift? Hey, mother, you know that I have never liked her and we even had a fight before. It would be so awkward if we met!"
Li Chengyu actually felt a little guilty.
She knew that when the King of Dingbei first asked for marriage, he wanted to marry the emperor's biological daughter, that is, Li Chengyu. However, the emperor and the queen mother were reluctant to let her go, so they let Qixia marry.
