Cameron's Royal Binding Chapter 3

"What's wrong with this mouth? This mouth is a treasure. Even all the lawyers in Yuezhou Prefecture can't speak against me!" Mason Zhao said proudly, "Just watch. One day I will be able to get myself admitted into the Shangshu Province and receive an official title." Prime Minister, when he was old he was awarded the title of Three Lords and Three Solitary Men, and after his death he was named the greatest sage in ancient and modern times. "

Cameron Lou endured the pain in her chest while laughing. She put a fist with one hand to her lips and coughed lightly, "Yes, you are ambitious, but to be the number one sage in ancient and modern times, you have to convince someone first."

"Who?" Mason Zhao immediately became interested.

"Master Ning Xin, Qinglian Temple in the east of the city." Cameron Lou said mysteriously.

"Ah?" Mason Zhao was stunned, then curled his lips, "Qinglian Temple is a nun's temple, how can I go to see an old nun?"

"You don't understand this..." Cameron Lou raised her eyebrows and raised her fingers to invite Mason Zhao to come over.

"This is fun!" Mason Zhao couldn't help grinning after hearing this, and then frowned, "I will take the exam next year, and you don't even try to persuade me to study, but just let me do these immoral things. If I fail the exam, what to do?"

Cameron Lou glanced at him and flicked his head hard with his finger, "If you don't pass the exam, you will go to the East Palace to be the father-in-law. I will definitely make you the chief steward!"

Mason Zhao held his head in his hands and was once again pulled over the courtyard wall by Felix Gao by the collar. While stretching his collar, he wondered which would lead to faster promotion, being a eunuch or passing the imperial examination. Suddenly he remembered that he came to ask about Cameron Lou's marriage, so why was he thrown out like this?

"Prince, the old nun Ning Xin came again this morning. She only sat in the upper courtyard for a cup of tea." Xunxia brought a bowl of medicine and whispered to the person on the bed.

Cameron Lou smiled and nodded. Seeing the bitter medicine in Sera's hand, the smile on her lips immediately stiffened, "I have a trauma, and drinking medicine will not help."

"No," Xunxia put a small palm-sized medicine bowl into Cameron Lou's hand, "The seventh guard said that the prince has suffered internal injuries. If he doesn't drink the medicine, he will vomit blood."

What kind of messed up medical theory is this? Cameron Lou curled his lips, but facing Sera's eyes that were staring at him and might turn into tears at any time, he had to hold his breath and swallow it in one gulp. It was a pity that he was not afraid of anything since he was a child, but he was afraid of the bitter taste of this medicine. It was really like a hero in trouble being bullied by a maid.

The days passed quickly, from August 17th to September 2nd, it was just a blink of an eye, so short that it was not enough for Cameron Lou to recover from his injuries.

When Anguo Gonglou Jianyu first came up with this idea, he did not expect that the emperor would set such a tight date. He originally thought that the royal wedding would be held in the spring of next year. Even if it was urgent, it would only take three months. But who knew it was only half a month. If that kid makes a fool of himself at the wedding, he won't be able to live with it.

"Take this, if you can't hold it anymore, eat one." Donovan Lou threw a mutton-fat jade vial to Cameron Lou, who was wearing a bright red wedding dress. Seeing that he had a cold face and did not say a word of thanks, he became angry. As soon as I typed it out, thinking about today's happy day, I couldn't hold it back, "If you marry into the palace, you will be a member of the royal family. Remember, if you do something wrong, you will not be the only one to be embarrassed. The entire Anguo Duke's palace will suffer as well." "

After Duke Anguo left, Cameron Lou turned the small jade bottle in his hand, poured out a pill and sniffed it. It was the same medicine as the one in the secret compartment. He couldn't help but sneer. Most of the medicines that take effect immediately are harmful to people. This kind of medicine is made of several poisons. If you take too much, there will be endless troubles. You won't take it easily on the battlefield. Besides, his father only asked him not to make a fool of himself when he was performing the ceremony. He never thought that when he entered the bridal chamber, would the prince not be able to see it? What should he do then?

Whether it is a small family or a high-ranking aristocrat, marriage is very grand, and the marriage of a prince is even more complicated.

The day before the wedding, people from the Ministry of Rites and the palace came to make arrangements. A secondary office was set up outside the gate of Duke Anguo's mansion. The prince's seat faced the south, and the East Palace officials were on the east and west sides. It was used for the East Palace officials to congratulate the prince when he welcomed the bride. The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a ceremonial eunuch to teach Cameron Lou the etiquette of the wedding ceremony. The ceremony for the crown prince to accept his concubine was the same as that for the emperor to accept his concubine. You can imagine how complicated this was.

With Cameron Lou's current body, the stress of the day before the wedding was already too much. She had to get up early the next day, and her complexion became worse and worse. Unfortunately, when a prince marries a male concubine, he can only ask the eunuch to help him groom himself, and the one assigned is actually Shen Lian, the eunuch's supervisor, who is the head of the internal affairs department.

During the ten years of Emperor Chunde's reign, the power of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been repeatedly expanded. Now the Chief of Internal Affairs is even comparable to the left and right prime ministers. Moreover, the eunuchs are cruel and ruthless, and their moods are capricious. Cameron Lou has to be extremely alert to deal with Shen Lian.

Shen Lian is now over 40 years old, and he is nourished by wealth and glory. He still has a young, slightly thin and fair face, and his smile is a little cold.

"It's such a trivial matter that I have to trouble Eunuch Shen to come in person." Cameron Lou supported himself to stand up and greeted Shen Lian.

"The prince marries his wife, so naturally our family will be happy to see him," Shen Lian smiled in return. Seeing that his face was not good, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him, "There are many grand ceremonies, it's hard work for the prince."

Cameron Lou did not avoid the hand that Shen Lian extended to him at all, and even leaned towards him, letting his hand touch his sleeve, which made the smile on Shen Lian's face deepen a little.

Eunuchs are handicapped, and these high-minded nobles have always looked down on eunuchs. However, in recent years, the power of eunuchs has become increasingly powerful, forcing those people to bow their heads. However, some small things will inevitably show their contempt for eunuchs. , Cameron Lou, who acts like a civil servant without any pretense, can naturally win Shen Lian's favor.

The two of them talked and laughed, looking at each other in harmony, but Cameron Lou felt miserable. If others came, he could lie down for a while, but Shen Lian could only stand here.

After finally waiting for the time to welcome the bride, the Crown Prince dismounted and was greeted by the officials of the Eastern Palace outside the door, while Cameron Lou bid farewell to his parents inside the house.

Donovan Lou and Mr. Wei were sitting in the main hall, unable to hide the joy on their faces. Mrs. Wei was wearing the official uniform of a first-class lady, and her young face was radiant. She is only twenty-three years old this year, only six years older than Cameron Lou. Because it is a continuation of the title, the title cannot exceed that of Cameron Lou's mother. She cannot be granted a higher rank, but only a first rank wife.

Cameron Lou stood in the middle of the main hall, looking at Mrs. Wei who was sitting on the matriarch's seat as a matter of course. She glanced at the empty sandalwood table between the two of them and said with a smile: "We are so happy today, why don't we invite my mother's memorial tablet?" , How does this make the son say goodbye to his parents? "

Wei's smile as bright as a spring flower immediately froze on her face. Donovan Lou also hesitated, and then suppressed his anger and said: "Your mother is sitting here, talking nonsense!"

"On this special day, fathers should not scare their sons. Mother has been dead for more than five years, how can she be sitting here?" Cameron Lou's eyes widened, looking very surprised, and said to the housekeeper standing aside, "It's not too fast. Go and ask for the mother's memorial tablet."

After Wei came into the family, he could have changed his way of addressing her and called her mother. However, this stepmother had never treated him well since she came into the family. She didn't act like a mother at all. Therefore, to this day, Cameron Lou only calls her Madam.

Outside the main hall, the prince had already entered, and the best man stood on the east side of the main hall, singing loudly: "May I ask for a favor?"

A calm and clear voice responded: "Elliot Xiao is here to welcome the bride."

There was no farewell in the room yet, and everyone was rushing around anxiously. Cameron Lou just stood in the middle of the room calmly, watching Donovan Lou angrily asking people to ask for a memorial tablet, and looking at Wei's innocent face, the pain in her body seemed to have eased. Quite a few.

When the memorial tablet was invited, the prince outside the door had already taken the wild goose from the hands of the groomsmen and handed it to the officiant. Usually the officiant can accept it with his chest raised and his head raised, but since the groom is a prince, the officiant has to kneel down to accept it. The officiant knelt down to receive it, and the prince bowed and thanked him before he stood up. In this way, there was just enough time for Cameron Lou to finish kneeling to her parents and cover her head.

In the entire Dayu Dynasty, only the emperor and the prince could marry a male wife. Therefore, except for the formal attire, which was all men's attire, most of the etiquette was similar to that of a male and female marriage. Even the wife had to cover her head. This is convenient for Cameron Lou. After all, his half-disabled body must have a scary face after all the hard work. He would be embarrassed as a royal person when he leaves this main hall.

When a prince gets married, he should wear an apricot-yellow gauze gown, which means a bright red wide-sleeved gauze gown over the apricot-yellow gown. After Elliot Xiao entered, Cameron Lou could only see a corner of the hem from under the hijab. Other matters can be solved one by one. Cameron Lou has figured out the affairs of the Lou family and the court these days, but how to get along with the prince. He has been thinking hard for the past half month and has no idea. Come up with a reason.

Elliot Xiao and Cameron Lou bid farewell to their parents together. They stood separately and did not touch each other. The master of ceremonies sang along with them. Wei forced a smile and said, "I respectfully listen to what my parents have to say." Then she was carried by someone to get Cameron Lou into the sedan chair.

The royal bridal sedan was a sixteen-man sedan that was as big as a small house and was carefully covered with thick red silk cushions. Even so, Cameron Lou still broke out in cold sweats from the pain when he sat on it. He could only take one pill of the medicine a day, and the effect did not last long. He had to wait until he was about to get out of the sedan before taking it again, so that he could move naturally when he worshipped heaven and earth. At this moment, he could only think of something else to divert the pain.

The prince Elliot Xiao is the same age as him. When his mother was alive, he took him to the palace to play when he was a child. When several princes stand together, people will notice the prince at first sight, not only because he wears apricot clothes, but also because he wears apricot-yellow clothes. It's because that serious and dignified little face is in sharp contrast to the other princes. You know from such a young age that joy and anger are beyond expression, how could you be the Crown Prince who has nothing outstanding in everyone's eyes?

"This... is for you..." In his memory, a white and tender little hand handed him a piece of silk candy that was almost as big as his palm, and his little face was still tense. The hand was soft, especially like the little bunny buns his mother made for him during the Chinese New Year, warm and with a hint of milk fragrance.

I wonder what Elliot Xiao looks like now, whether he still has a pair of dark eyes like when he was a child...

The sedan stopped, and while the red arrow was shooting at the sedan, Cameron Lou swallowed a pill.

The curtain of the sedan chair was opened, and someone helped him walk down. There was no excitement like ordinary people getting married. The royal wedding was quiet and solemn. The drumming started, and the people supporting him retreated to both sides, and a long, white, well-proportioned hand was handed over.

The Crown Princess was a man, so she couldn't be supported by a matchmaker like in a normal wedding, nor could she find a man to support her, so the Crown Prince personally took her to the wedding hall.
