[R18] Dali Temple.Qing (Shuangjie solves the case 1v1) – “Dali Temple. Qing (Shuangjie 1v1 solves the case)” Chapter 61 Substitute Marriage [English]

The light and sparse sunlight fell from the Qian screen window and hit Lin Wanqing’s slightly closed eyes.

She turned over and was stunned when she saw the golden nanmu furniture that she had never seen before behind the gilded cloud satin screen.

“Girl,” Lai Luo called her and picked up the gauze tent for her.

Lin Wanqing then remembered that after the family banquet in the palace the day before yesterday, the two of them did not go back to Dali Temple, but stayed at the Prince’s Mansion.

Su Moyi went to Zichen Hall before dawn again the next day, and did not come back all night yesterday.

Anyway, Dali Temple has been very busy recently. Lin Wanqing wanted to see how Lai Luo was doing at the Prince’s Mansion, so he decided to stay for one more day before leaving.

However, she is not used to the daily life here, so when she wakes up in the morning, she often loses her memory.

Lai Luo on the side saw that she had woken up, and neatly fetched water for her to cleanse her face, and brought her tea to rinse her mouth, and wanted to help her change clothes.

Lin Wanqing was not used to having people around her, so she resisted for a while and refused to accept him.She had to ask her to get some breakfast, and then she took the opportunity to quickly clean up.

This courtyard belongs to Su Moyi. Except for sweeping, he doesn’t let anyone in.Now that Lin Wanqing lives here, he only arranges for Lai Luo to serve him.

Outside the screen, Lai Luo has already begun to arrange her breakfast – single-cage golden pastry, mando-shaped pancakes, imperial concubine red, crystal dragon and phoenix cake…

Of course, there are many breakfasts that she can’t even name. There are several kinds of porridges in various colors, and the whole table is filled with bits and pieces.

“…” Lin Wanqing sighed. Master Su didn’t know when he became so extravagant and wasteful.

She walked over, picked up a round stool and sat down. She had a bowl of peach blossom porridge and was about to eat it when she saw Lai Luo on the side looking at her in concentration.

“Have you eaten?” Lin Wanqing asked, scanning the food in front of her.

Lai shook his head subconsciously, then nodded again.

Lin Wanqing guessed that she was greedy for these foods.

After all, many of the snacks in the Prince’s Mansion are so delicious that even she has never seen them on the streets of Shengjing.

Lai Luo came from Hu Di, and after arriving here, he was sold to a brothel. It seemed that he had never seen anything delicious.

So she waved to Lailuo and said, “I can’t finish the meal by myself, so come and eat with me.”

Lai Luo hesitated a little, pursed his lips and whispered: “When I entered the mansion before, my grandma said that I couldn’t eat with the master.”

“But I’m not your master,” Lin Wanqing said, pouring a bowl of porridge for her, “I’m just a guest in this house.”

Lai Luo didn’t seem to understand much, but she herself couldn’t understand the complicated etiquette in Nandi.Thinking that Lin Wanqing seemed to be just a guest staying overnight, he stopped insisting and sat sideways next to her.

Lin Wanqing pushed the bowl of porridge to her and said, “Eat it.”

Lai Luo then showed some smile and started eating happily.

She gave Lai Luo another soufflé and asked, “I think you are not very old, you must not be eighteen yet, right?”

Lai Luo shook his head, holding the milk puff in his mouth and said vaguely: “It’s almost full.”

“Oh,” Lin Wanqing nodded and asked, “Then what do you plan to do in the future? Do you still have family members in Hudi?”

Lai Luo shook his head, “I was sold here when I was three years old. I can’t remember where my home is.”

“Oh…” Lin Wanqing felt a little regretful, thinking that if she had no place to go, it would be okay to stay in the Prince’s Mansion. She would just be the one around her. If she behaves softly and behaves, please Su Moyi.

“What about you, girl?” Lai Luo asked, his big blue eyes staring at her curiously and blinking.

“Me?” Lin Wanqing was speechless when she asked her, and she didn’t know how to answer for a while.

“Are you going to marry that fierce man?”

“A very fierce master?” Lin Wanqing thought for a moment before realizing that she should be talking about Su Moyi.It was funny for a moment. That man looked down on everyone, so the only impression he left on Lai Luo was “fierce”.

Lin Wanqing smiled and said nothing, just added another piece of dragon and phoenix cake to her bowl.

Seeing that she was kind and willing to listen to her, Lai Luo started chatting and said to himself: “I don’t think you two are a good match.”

“Oh?” Lin Wanqing just thought she was outspoken, “Why don’t you deserve it?”

“I heard from grandma that he is the prince and a very powerful official.” Lai Luo swallowed the cake in his mouth and looked at Lin Wanqing and said seriously: “When I was in the brothel, there were often rich businessmen or wives of officials who came to the house with their servants and wanted to beat the vixens to death.”

“These men can have several women. Do girls want to compete with others for men and be vixens all day long?”

Lin Wanqing looked at her serious and innocent look and joked: “Didn’t you say he is fierce? Since he is so fierce, is there any girl willing to be with him?”

“But even if there is no girl, he is still the heir apparent, with the Tian family and the imperial court behind him. It is said that the royal family is ruthless. How can the girl know that the deep affection she has now will not be worn away in the future interactions?”

Lin Wanqing was stunned after hearing this.

It wasn’t because she was worried that there would be another woman around Su Moyi, but the words “royal affection” reminded her of her aunt who died in the cold palace.

She suddenly felt a little annoyed, so she stopped answering Lai Luo’s words and just immersed herself in drinking porridge.

The sudden silence made Lai Luo also quiet down. The two of them stopped talking and finished eating the contents of the bowl.

After breakfast, Lin Wanqing changed into men’s clothes and went to Dali Temple.When he was about to go out, he was stopped by Lai Luo.

“Girl,” She looked at Lin Wanqing with a somewhat embarrassed expression, “I am alone in this Prince’s Mansion and I don’t know anyone. Everyone thinks I am a foreigner and they don’t get close to me. So, if nothing happens in this Mansion in the future, can I go to Dali Temple to find you?”

“This…” Lin Wanqing was a little embarrassed.

Lai Luo looked at her carefully, with unspeakable anticipation and nervousness in his eyes.

Lin Wanqing was stung by such a look.

She had experienced the pain of being helpless, so she felt some sympathy for this girl who was about the same age as herself.

After a long while, she nodded and said: “You can come to me when Mr. Su is away, but you can only come to me in my yard and cannot go anywhere else. Do you understand?”

“Okay!” Lai Luo nodded and smiled brightly.

This time Lin Wanqing came out of Shizi’s Mansion and went straight to Dali Temple.

she got up a little late, and it was almost noon when we arrived at Dali Temple.

Lin Wanqing always felt that the whole Dali Temple today was strange.

Even Ye Qing couldn’t find anyone without mentioning Su Moyi’s absence.

In the past, when it was time to go to work, the yamen servants didn’t say much, but they could be seen everywhere.But now, it seems like the entire place has been hollowed out.

Lin Wanqing inexplicably sensed a tense atmosphere.

“Lin, Lin Lu Shi!”

There was an urgent gasp, accompanied by footsteps approaching from far away.

Lin Wanqing turned around and saw Ye Qing who was sweating profusely.

“I, I just came from the Prince’s Mansion. The people in the mansion said that you had returned to Dali Temple, so I rushed over…”

Lin Wanqing looked at Ye Qing who was out of breath and asked in confusion: “What do you want from me?”

Ye Qing stood a little further away, frowning slightly, looking her up and down before saying, “Today is the day when the third son of the Song Dynasty gets married.”

Lin Wanqing was stunned and confused.

Ye Qing, on the other hand, was unusually serious, “Master Su must have told you that the Emperor is going to take action against Song Zheng. We really have no choice but to ask you for a favor.”

“Help?” When Lin Wanqing heard Song Zhengxing’s name, her heart trembled and her tone became solemn.

Ye Qing nodded, “Previously, the Gu Mansion had arranged for a maid with a similar figure to the girl from the Gu family to pretend to be the bride of the Third Young Master Song. However, just now when the Gu Mansion sent someone here, the maid was so frightened that her legs weakened when she saw such a battle, and she couldn’t even walk properly. I’m worried that using her would miss something important.”

“What did Mr. Su say?” Lin Wanqing asked.

Ye Qing was anxious, “Mr. Su has been with the emperor since yesterday, planning today’s wedding banquet in the Song Dynasty. I can’t see him and don’t tell him. How can I dare to bother him at this moment?”

“Yes,” Lin Wanqing nodded. Su Moyi and the emperor’s plan must be related to the overall situation, and they shouldn’t be burdened by such a trivial matter.

“So how do you want me to help you?”

Ye Qing looked troubled, “The second girl from the Gu family has a delicate figure, but she is taller than the average girl. It is difficult to find someone with a figure like her. If courage and skill are taken into consideration, you are probably the only one I know of, Lin Lushi.”

“You want me to pretend to be a bride?” Lin Wanqing asked.

Ye Qing nodded and said: “Marrying is just a pretense. We have some evidence of Hongzhou’s ‘fake silver’ case. When the time comes, we need Lin Lu to find a way to put it somewhere inconspicuous in the Song Mansion’s study.”

“You want to frame me?”

Ye Qing was choked by Lin Wanqing’s “straight talk” and explained: “This, this is all evidence that he has framed others. We are just treating him in his own way. Besides, to deal with such a cunning and cunning person, we need to use some special methods…”

Lin Wanqing was stunned for a moment, then took the evidence in He’s hand and looked at it.

“But, if I put the evidence away, you have to search it out, right? The Song Mansion has not committed anything, so what excuse does the emperor use to search the house?”

Ye Qing rubbed the back of his head and wondered: “Sir, my lord will tell me such secrets. We just have to do what we are doing, and your lord will take care of it.”

The hand holding the document tightened, she looked at Ye Qing for a long time, and said: “Okay, but you have to explain to me in detail how to do it.”

“But…” Ye Qing hesitated and hesitated: “You must never tell Mr. Su about this.”

Lin Wanqing immediately understood what he meant, but didn’t care much. He just said: “You and I both have public duties, so we must put the overall situation first at this moment.”

“Then don’t tell Mr. Su.”

Ye Qing was unyielding, as if he would never give up without Lin Wanqing’s guarantee.

“Okay, okay…” Lin Wanqing couldn’t resist, “I know.”

When the lanterns first came on, the Song Mansion was already full of guests and lively.

Big red silk was hung from the main door along the corridor to the main hall.The eaves were covered with red lanterns with the word “happy” written on them. The vermilion light shined through, making the bluestone pavement look even more festive.

At the wedding banquet, wedding banners hung high and congratulatory couplets hung on the walls, reflecting each other under the dancing candlelight.

The banquet has not started yet, and most of the guests are officials who work together in Shengjing’s officialdom. They know each other well and have already started chatting.The servants of the Song Mansion were busy serving food and preparing wine, moving swiftly between the banquets.

Song Zhengxing and his wife welcomed the guests in the main hall and arranged the guests who arrived one after another to their seats.

There was a sudden noise outside the door, which was unusual.

Song Zhengxing looked up and saw the young boy running straight towards the main hall with a face of surprise and confusion.

“S-Master…” The boy’s face was full of fear, and his sentence was broken into three parts.

“What’s wrong?” Song Zhengxing asked.

The boy calmed down and pointed sideways at the door: “Yu, Yujia is here, waiting at the door now.”

“What…” Song Zhengxing’s jaw trembled in surprise, “The emperor, the emperor is here?”

Before the boy could answer, Song Zhengxing heard the half-joking voice of Emperor Yong Hui in the distance: “What? Aiqing didn’t look very happy when she heard it was me.”

Everyone present was surprised to see Emperor Yonghui coming in person, and they all knelt down to pay their respects.

Emperor Yonghui was very accommodating and spared everyone’s courtesy, and ordered people to deliver the gift prepared by him to Song Zhengxing.Then he smiled and stepped forward to support Song Zhengxing’s elbow affectionately, and said, “How long has it been since I came to Aiqing’s house? I just have some free time recently, so I came to join in the fun while the third young master is getting married.”

Yan Bi smiled and walked towards the main hall.

Song Zhengxing quickly followed and personally arranged the most honorable seat for Emperor Yonghui.

Su Moyi came with Emperor Yonghui. Because he had always been respected by Emperor Yonghui and had the status of the prince, Song Zhengxing arranged for him to sit at the head of Emperor Yonghui.

The accompanying imperial troops were stationed outside the Song Mansion, waiting for orders.

The Holy Lord came to the Song Mansion in person to congratulate the Third Young Master on his wedding. This was such an honor to outsiders. However, Su Moyi noticed that the moment Song Zhengxing saw the two of them, there was a moment of panic in his eyes.

Song Zhengxing was stunned for a moment, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Su Moyi raising a glass to him.

A good show is on, so of course we have to raise a toast.

At this time, there was a clatter of horse hooves outside the door, joy was rising, firecrackers were going off, and the guests looked sideways, only to hear Xipo shouting:

“The bride is here!”
