Chapter 29: The Day of the Wedding
The gongs and drums were noisy, and the street in front of the Dingnan Wangfu in the capital of Ningguo was crowded with people watching the ceremony.
The atmosphere of celebration here and the tense atmosphere of waiting for the border are polar contrasts.
Although the people of the capital also heard that the border pass was about to start a war, they did not know the inside story, and they saw that the king of Dingnan was still holding a big wedding at this time, and did not go to the border pass because of this, and thought that this war was not strict, and they should be able to solve the enemy army lightly, so every household did not have a sad look on their faces, and they all looked at the excitement happily.
In Qingqiu Garden, Chi Xiaoman had already changed into a red wedding dress, and the makeup on her face was also put on, and You Shi, the wife of the Zhongjiang steward of the Dingnan Palace, was combing her hair for her.
Originally, the matter of combing the bride's hair should have been done by the blessed relatives and friends on the woman's side, but in Ningguo, Chi Xiaoman naturally had no relatives, so he was taken care of by You Shi, the wife of General Manager Jiang.
"One comb to the hair, wealth and wealth do not have to worry; the second comb to the head, no disease and worry-free; three comb to the head, many children and longevity. Then comb to the end, raise the case and raise the eyebrows; the second comb to the tail, than the wings of the total two flying; three comb to the end, forever knot with the same heart, there is a head and a tail, rich and noble. ”
You Shi combed her hair and recited these auspicious words with a smile on his face.
They are all very happy that the prince is finally going to get married, and there will be a little master in the future, and the house will be lively.
But the bride really couldn't be happy. What kind of case is eyebrows, many sons and longevity, and wings flying, it also depends on who the object of the marriage is!
"Princess, today is a big day for you and the prince, you should smile more. "You Shi has heard some things between Chi Xiaoman and King Dingnan, and knows that this Miss Chi is not willing to marry into the Dingnan Palace.
But she didn't know that Chi Xiaoman already had a sweetheart, so she felt that Chi Xiaoman was a little ignorant.
How many girls and wishful thinking that they can't ask for, Miss Chi still doesn't want to marry?
Glancing at You Shi from the bronze mirror, Chi Xiaoman pulled his lips and smiled ugly. She didn't want to embarrass You's family, but she didn't want to explain the matter between herself and King Dingnan, because she believed that it would be useless to explain, and the people in the Dingnan Palace's mansion would definitely be on Ning Qingyun's side.
She stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist, and admired ...... I don't know where she is at this moment, and do you know that she has failed? His people should have been secretly protecting her in the shadows of Dingnan Palace, right?
Will there be action today?
You Shi looked at her wry smile, and didn't know what to say, this Chi girl's personality is also stubborn, it's good that she didn't deliberately cause anything, she doesn't have to persuade her to do anything, just hurry up and do her own thing.
So he didn't say much, carefully coiled up his long hair like a cloud, and put on a phoenix crown.
"The auspicious time is coming, the prince should be coming, and the old man retreats first. After You Shi put the red hijab on her behalf, she withdrew.
There was only Chi Xiaoman left in the room, of course she couldn't sit obediently like an ordinary bride and wait for the groom to marry her, this was not the marriage she wanted.
Until the last minute, she won't give up the slightest chance to escape from here.
She lifted her hijab, walked to the window, and quietly opened the window a crack.
Xi Po and Ling'er were waiting for the arrival of King Dingnan at the door, and the servants in Qingqiu Yuan were also waiting in the courtyard, it seemed that it would be difficult for her to sneak away.
Looking at a few big trees in the courtyard, don't those masters and men in black in the TV series like to hide in the big trees the most? I wonder if Yu Chimu's people are hiding there......
Her eyesight was good, but unfortunately, she didn't find any figures in the trees.
What if you run away while you're on the road?
She knew that she would go out of the Dingnan Palace, sit in a sedan chair, and walk around the street outside the palace for a week, and then be welcomed into the gate of the Dingnan Palace.
It is a little impractical to escape from the sedan chair, and she has no martial arts skills and cannot fly out of the sedan chair.
Just as she was thinking wildly, someone behind her suddenly grabbed her mouth.
Chi Xiaoman struggled in shock, and the man whispered, "It's from the Pavilion Master's faction." ”
Pavilion Master? That's Wei Chimu?
She was overjoyed, and naturally she stopped struggling, and the man let go of his hand.
Chi Xiaoman turned around and looked at the man. The person who came this time was different from the person who delivered the letter last time, this time he was younger, about twenty years old, with red lips and white teeth, and a bookish face. If he hadn't known that he was a person from the Shadow Pavilion, he would have thought that he was the son of an official family!
"How did you get in?" Xiao Man's face was full of questions. The house was guarded on all sides, and he entered neither through the gate nor through the window.
The man smiled, his cheeks showing cute dimples, and his eyes glanced to the roof.
Chi Xiaoman looked up. It turned out that he had lifted the roof tiles and came down from above.
This person is very powerful! She didn't hear a sound at all! But she was still very curious, the Dingnan Palace's mansion must be heavily guarded today, and she was afraid that she would escape or someone would take her away, so how could this person enter the Qingqiu Garden so lightly, and enter her room without realizing it.
Her doubts were written on her face, and the man smiled lightly: "Please also ask Miss Chi to call a person in first." He clearly saw Chi Xiaoman's question, but he didn't explain, because the most important thing at the moment was to take her out of Dingnan Wangfu first.
Chi Xiaoman understood that this was not the time to satisfy his curiosity, so he called Ling'er out of the door, and the man instantly hid behind the screen.
"Miss, what's the matter?" Ling'er opened the door, and as soon as she came in, she saw Xiao Man lifting the hijab, and hurriedly ran to her side and whispered: "Miss, why did you lift the hijab, this is only possible for the prince to lift, cover it quickly, otherwise it will be unlucky." ”
Chi Xiaoman found a position facing the screen and pretended to sit down, asking her to cover her head for herself, Ling'er did not doubt him, and she had to cover her head with her back to the screen.
I saw the man dodge out from behind the screen, so fast that Chi Xiaoman didn't see what he did at all, Ling'er was already paralyzed on the ground, still holding the red hijab in his hand.
The man handed the red hijab to Xiao Man and said, "Please ask Miss Chi to get on the sedan chair first, and Ling will take you away on the way." With that, he picked up Ling'er, jumped up, and disappeared from the roof, and the tiles that had been lifted were restored to their original places.
How is he going to take himself on the road?
Rao is Chi Xiaoman, no matter how smart he is, he can't figure out what that person is going to do at this moment. And why did he not take away himself, but Ling'er first?
Her mind was full of questions, but she was not allowed to think about them, for she heard the voice of the lady outside the door.
Ning Qingyun has already arrived at the door!
