Zheng Xiao Mistake: The Mistake of Rebirth Provoked the Cold Master

The silence lasted too long, so long that one could almost hear the sound of stagnant air slowly falling to the ground.

"Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord!"

Madam Zhu stood up at the side and said, "The commander's younger sister and our Zheng'er are very close, and the two young people have long been in love with each other. I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness in making our two families friends and staying together for a hundred years."

After saying this, Madam Zhu pulled the stunned Zhu Zheng up, dragged her out of the table nimbly, and pushed her to Nie Ruke's side.

Zhu Zheng calmed down, raised her eyes, and subconsciously looked at Rong Yan.

The breeze blew through the hall, causing the cloud veil above her head to sway, and the gaze like a cold lake met her directly.

Realizing that she had actually looked at him first and in public, Zhu Zheng quickly lowered her head and averted her sight.

Now that things have come to this, there is nothing she can do.

"Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you... Your Excellency the Grand Tutor."

Zhu Zheng bowed politely to Rong Yan and lowered her head, not wanting to look at anyone.

Two people stood side by side at the table. Coincidentally, they were both dressed in red, looking very beautiful and a perfect match.

"The man is talented and the woman is beautiful. They are a match made in heaven. It is a rare good thing."

Gong Yixiu suddenly stood up and laughed, "It's been a long time since there was a wedding in the palace. Ask the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to calculate an auspicious date as soon as possible."

Then he changed the subject and looked at Rong Yan and said, "Since the teachers are the witnesses today, why not ask them to be the witnesses then?"

Rong Yan raised his eyelids and looked at him, giving him a cold look, as if he saw through him.

Gong Yixiu felt his cold gaze, and his lips tightened nervously, his hypocritical smile almost failing to hold.

After a moment, Rong Yan turned his eyes away and said, "Okay."

He responded.

The emperor personally appointed the bride, the Grand Tutor announced the wedding personally, and now he has to personally witness the marriage. It may not be such an honor for the Crown Prince of Dayong to get married on the spot.

The people watching the fun below had their lips taut with so much to say that they were about to get hurt.

Fortunately, the banquet began soon after the imperial edict was announced.

Because it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, the first piece of music and dance was "Asking the Moon in the Moonlight". As the long and melodious sound of stringed instruments arose, the Liuguang Palace was soon submerged in the swirling shadows of clothes and the fragrance of pepper breeze.

The banquet became lively, and people could not help talking about everything and moving around with lively eyes.

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not mentioned, both imperial edicts were clearly favorable to Gong Yixiu.

The former crown prince Gong Yihao, who was deposed, had no moral faults, but because of his disability, there are still some voices of regret. He was given the title of the second-character king and stationed at the border to eliminate trouble.

The Nie family, who were granted marriage, had always been a royal family marriage, the imperial power had been passed down repeatedly, and the family was deeply rooted. Blocking their remarriage with the Ministry of War was to seize power.

Both actions consolidated the power of the young prince to avoid trouble after the new emperor ascended the throne.

As for why they started planning for the new emperor to take the throne, everyone's voices gradually became quieter...

It is not appropriate to talk about power and politics in public, especially since it is obscure and there is nothing to talk about. Soon, everyone focused on the person who had more to talk about.

What is the background of the fourth young lady of the Zhu family?

For a moment, everyone had their own speculations, talking about the husband and the wife, and soon they had searched through Zhu Zheng's entire life.

In short, the Zhu family suddenly became the real focus of the entire banquet. Congratulations were heard from all directions, and old lady Zhu's face was so happy that it turned into a big red date.

Amidst the hustle and bustle, the high seat seemed a little deserted.

Zhu Qing couldn't stand the ups and downs of her emotions and had a few quarrels at the banquet. Gong Yihao ordered people to help her back to the palace first.

Gong Yixiu had already left the banquet to join the people in the fun, and was moving like a snake among the retainers who were quick to respond.

There was only one person left sitting at the table, motionless.

He held the wine glass in a daze, drinking one glass after another, looking confused and bored.

The glazed windows were soaked with warm light, and the floating dust was stained with golden light. However, the music and cheerful voices were like floating snowflakes, which melted away instantly the moment they touched him.

I don't know how long I sat like this.

Maybe half a song, maybe two, three, four or five.

Rong Yan suddenly stood up and walked out of the hall through a side path.

When they reached the door, a gray-haired figure rushed over, grabbed the person behind him, and blocked Rong Yan.

"Master Taifu! The Zhu family is grateful for your kindness, and we must let Zheng'er offer a glass of wine to you!"

Old Madam Zhu held the wine jug excitedly, her posture of pouring wine trembling a little. After pouring one cup, she stuffed it into Zhu Zheng's hand and handed one cup to Rong Yan.

Rong Yan didn't answer, but lowered his eyes to look at the familiar face in front of him.

The red dress made her eyes look especially dark, as if there was a layer of fog in them.

On the day when Cheng Xushan became his disciple, she was also wearing a red dress, but the person who was also wearing a red dress and standing shoulder to shoulder with her that day was himself.

During those days in the mountains, she smiled much more often than she does now. When she was truly happy and not pretending, her eyes would be narrowed into a crescent shape, and her nose would wrinkle slightly, with a hint of cunning...

In fact, since returning to Shengjing, I have rarely seen her smile like that.

I probably won’t have the chance to see you again in the future.

Rong Yan didn't move for a long time, just staring at Zhu Zheng, making her feel uncomfortable all over. She held the jade-like wine glass in her two hands, wishing she could crush it.

Finally, he could not help but lower his eyes and whispered, "Master Taifu... a glass of light wine, thank you for your care and concern."

Zhu Zheng made a fair point in saying this, as he meant it with great sincerity. He didn't want to count today's incident, but in the past, he had helped her so much.

Apart from anything else, she really owed him a thank you for many things.

I just didn't expect to say it in such a situation.

When Rong Yan heard her earnest yet distant tone, his expression darkened. For a moment he didn't know which was more painful, the natural distance or the heartfelt thanks.

Just as he was about to speak, another person suddenly appeared from the side.

"I finally caught the Grand Tutor toasting me, my brother and I want to join in the fun!"

Nie Rutang also held a wine jug and poured two glasses in a casual manner.

"Thank you so much, Master Taifu, for giving me such a wonderful sister-in-law!"

Nie Ruke, who followed her from the side, froze in his expression and rolled his eyes at her. "If you can't speak, just shut up..."

Nie Rutang glared back in dissatisfaction, but still smiled and changed his words, "You are wrong, it was not given by the Grand Tutor, it was given by the Emperor, the Emperor."

Nie Rutang was also wearing a red dress today, looking very neat, but her makeup was no longer deliberately imitating anyone else.

She has been a straightforward person since she was young. She learned Zhu Zheng for fun at first, but later she felt it was really fun.

The three people in red clothes standing together look like a happy family.

The people around gathered around when they saw the excitement, and there was laughter and joy as if they were at someone's wedding banquet.

Nie Rutang complimented Madam Zhu a few words, then jumped in front of Zhu Zheng and stood in front of her, thrusting another filled wide-mouthed wine glass into her hand.

"Little sister-in-law, try this green plum wine. I made it myself."

After these words were spoken, Zhu Zheng did not bother to correct the address. She smelled the familiar scent of the wine and her face was full of surprise.

“Did you brew this?”
