Nu Yalang of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 358 Homecoming Banquet (Part 1)

The red candle turns into wax, and the morning sun gets higher.

Zhou Jun opened his eyes, slowly got up from the bed, and turned to look at Yin Yu beside him. The latter closed her eyes tightly and could hear a faint snoring.

Zhou Jun moved his arms and thought about the ridiculous things last night.

I don’t know why, but on their wedding night, they were entangled in love for half the night.

Zhou Jun sat on the bed and moved his body. Not only did he not feel tired at all, but he was still full of energy.

Yin Yu was awakened by the movement, opened her eyes and saw Zhou Jun, her face turned red, and she quickly buried her head in the quilt again in shame.

Zhou Jun stretched out his arm, took her into his arms, and asked: "Shall the servants come in and help change clothes?"

Yin Yu quickly shook his head: "Don't let anyone come in yet."

Zhou Jun was puzzled and looked down.

Yin Yu looked embarrassed and said softly: "I have no strength in my whole body. Let alone getting out of bed, I can't even lift my arms."

Zhou Jun was stunned, thought for a moment, got out of bed, fetched some underclothes, and put them on for Yin Yu gently.

The latter was in Zhou Jun's arms, feeling comfortable and comfortable, and actually fell asleep slowly again.

Without disturbing Yin Yu, Zhou Jun quietly left the bedroom, found some clothes, washed briefly, and walked out of the room.

Outside the door, a group of maids carrying washing utensils and supplies were stunned when they saw the consort dressed neatly and walking out on his own.

Zhou Jun waved his hands to everyone and said: "The princess is still resting, please wait outside the door and don't disturb her."

Zhou Dinghai, Luo Sanniang, Zhou Ze and others returned to Chang'an in the afternoon after the wedding.

According to customary etiquette, the princess and her consort are married. Within nine days, she must return to the palace to meet the saint, which is regarded as a return home. After that, she must go to the consort's home to pay homage to her elders again, which is regarded as meeting her uncle.

Zhou Jun had some free time and originally planned to accompany Yin Yu on a tour of Bachuan River today.

After breakfast, Zhou Jun went back to the wing and asked again. He learned that Yin Yu had not woken up yet, so he had to make other plans and left the inner garden and headed for the Zhongyuan.

In Pang Gong's small courtyard, Yuping saw Zhou Jun approaching. She was startled at first, then she quickly said her blessings, and couldn't help but ask: "Isn't Erlang accompanying the princess?"

Zhou Jun: "The princess is still resting, I plan to come and see Pang Gong first."

Yuping nodded and led Zhou Jun to the study room in the courtyard.

Pang Gong was sitting on a folding chair, reading the newspaper entering the memorial hall. When he saw Zhou Jun, he was also surprised.

Zhou Jun bowed to Duke Pang.

The latter quickly stopped and said: "Erlang has become the consort now, and this is not the right thing to do according to the etiquette."

After Zhou Jun saluted, he straightened up and said with a smile: "Jun was originally a servant Yalang. Fortunately, thanks to the help of Pang Gong, he became what he is today. How can he forget his roots?"

Pang Gong looked at Zhou Jun, sighed softly, his eyes were filled with relief and emotion, and finally whispered: "Our family has lived for most of our lives, and it is really rare to be as affectionate and righteous as Erlang.

"

Pang Gong had another conversation with Zhou Jun, and then urged the latter to return home quickly to accompany the princess.

When Zhou Jun returned to the mansion, his servants came to tell him that the princess had just woken up and was washing up. When he entered the bedroom again, he saw a tired-looking Yin Yu, who was dressing and making up under the service of the maids.

Zhou Jun found a crescent moon stool and sat down. The female officer who was waiting beside her solemnly took note of the princess's daily life and showed it to the former.

Although he knew that this was one of the rituals, Zhou Jun was still quite embarrassed and could only nod lightly.

Yin Yu on the side was even more unbearable, her face turned red to the roots of her ears, and she couldn't even open her mouth to scold him, so she could only vent her anger on Zhou Jun.

Yin Yu tried to stand up, but a burst of pain caused her to fall back on the bed.

She covered her lower abdomen with her hands, gritted her teeth and smiled at Zhou Jun: "Mr. Lang, come here for a moment."

Zhou Jun had no choice but to walk over and sit next to Yin Yu.

Yin Yu stretched out her fingers, pinched Zhou Jun's lower back, and complained bitterly.

Zhou Jun approached Yin Yu and whispered.

Yin Yu was greatly embarrassed and prepared to fight.

The female officer on the side couldn't help but smile when she saw this scene.

As a result, Yin Yu rested for most of the day before she had some strength and was able to move freely.

Afterwards, Zhou Jun also looked for the reason, and finally attributed it to the Taoist Dragon and Tiger Technique taught by Fei Weng.

Zhou Jun opened the Taoist scripture in private and read it carefully from beginning to end. The first part talked about the methods of regulating Qi, building cauldrons, and refining essence, but the second half of the book contained a lot of determination to reconcile Yin and Yang.

Now that Zhou Jun thought about it, Fei Weng might have had some other ideas when he taught him this technique.

Newlyweds sing in harmony, luan and phoenix sing in harmony.

In the few days after their marriage, Zhou Jun and Yin Yu lived a sweet life, and their relationship gradually heated up.

On the nine-day period, Zhou Jun and Yin Yu carried gifts and rode carriages all the way into Xingqing Palace to return home.

In order to welcome the couple, Li Longji not only opened the middle gate to pass by, but also set a reception ceremony according to the standards of the eldest princess.

Zhou Jun was quite surprised when he saw this, and some questions arose in his mind.

The homecoming banquet was held in Huaxianghui Building, and banquets were also held on the first and second floors.

Zhou Jun accompanied Yin Yu and went directly to the second floor from the side corridor. Most of the people sitting here were members of the royal family, such as princes and princesses.

Li Longji was sitting in the upper seat. When he saw Zhou Jun and Yin Yu, he smiled and waved.

After walking to Li Longji's seat, Zhou Jun and Yin Yu first bowed to their children, and then bowed to the left and right.

Zhou Jun looked at Li Longji's left and right. Sitting on the right desk was Yang Yuhuan, while sitting on the left desk was another beautiful concubine. Her eyebrows were somewhat similar to Yin Yu's.

Zhou Jun knew in his heart that this person should be Yin Yu's biological mother, Du Meiren.

After taking his seat, Zhou Jun looked at the palace. There were hundreds of guests on the second floor alone. If waiters, maids and musicians were added, it would be even more lively.

Zhou Jun secretly thought that it would be too grand to just have a homecoming banquet.

Li Longji first waved Zhou Jun to come forward, and then said to Du Meiren beside him: "I have told you a long time ago that compared to those children from aristocratic families, Zhou Lang got to where he is today not by luck, but by his ability.

Such talents are extremely rare."

Du Meiren looked at Zhou Jun. Although the latter had a majestic appearance and made people like him, his humble background still made her feel uneasy.

Yin Yu on the side observed the words, left the table, came to Du Meiren's side again, and whispered a few words.

When Du Meiren heard this, her face brightened slightly, she patted Yin Yu's hand and whispered: "As long as he treats you well and you are happy, that's all."

Zhou Jun looked at Du Mei and Yin Yu, but out of the corner of his eye he accidentally caught sight of another person.

Ever since he entered the hall, Yang Yuhuan had been looking at him with complicated eyes.

Before Zhou Jun had time to think more, Li Longji asked him again about the Daqi Trade Road.

Zhou Jun answered the question to the sage one by one and put the matter behind him in the blink of an eye.
