The third time
The rainbow dress shook the crown step by step, and the day was full of Pei Shanshan.
"Go to the temple to see the salute and play music!"
I quietly let the bride support, in the praise of the official singing Ying Ying bowed, in my hand, holding the fine red silk of Jiangnan Xingong, the other side of the red silk, is the three princes of the dynasty Nan Chengyao, I have never met the husband.
I couldn't see him, the auspicious Xipa of the dragon and phoenix covered my vision, and the whole world was bright red.
Three kneels, nine prostrations, six prostrations.
Marrying to the heavenly family, the number of rites can not be abandoned, and when the bride is introduced into the happy room, I have a slight sweat in my temples.
A maid handed over a plate of snacks in my hand, and said lightly: "Please use these snacks first, they are all rewarded by the palace, and the slaves and maids have chosen some of them, and the princess should be hungry after a tired day." ”
The servant girl spoke in a gentle voice, and I smiled slightly, and although I was not hungry, I still picked one or two things at random and tasted them before handing her back the plate.
She took it and spoke again: "Your Highness is now serving guests in the main hall, and I am afraid that I will not be able to get out for a while." Please take a rest for the princess, the slave and maid are waiting outside the door of the happy house, and the princess can only give orders if she has something. ”
She closed the door and went out, and after a few thorough ceremonies, I was the only one left in the big room, and at this time, even Shuying could only stay outside the door of the happy room.
My fingers carefully traced the golden lotus flower on the wedding dress, which was sent to the house by his uncle, who served as the construction supervisor in Jiangnan, and selected the embroidered women, which took three months to complete.
The green lotus covers the green water, and the hibiscus is red and fresh. A stitch and a thread are full of honor that others cannot reach.
It's just that I smiled faintly and brushed the slightly loose sleeves of my shirt.
It didn't belong to me in the first place, no matter how noble it was, it was not suitable after all, and what would happen to this marriage, which had been misplaced from the beginning.
"How can this be? What should my young lady do?" Outside the door of the happy room, the voice of the shadow interrupted my thoughts, even though it was extremely low, but I couldn't hide it, not angry and anxious.
The voice of the lady who was Shu Wan sounded again, and she also replied softly, with courtesy and apology, but she was neither humble nor arrogant: "The palace is in a hurry, the holy dragon body is violated, all the princes need to enter the palace immediately, and the situation is compelling, and the three highnesses are not allowed." ”
"No matter how urgent it is, there is always time to uncover Xipa, what can I do now, do I ask my young lady to reveal Xipa herself or do I have to wait?"
The woman was speechless for a moment, obviously hesitating, and I groaned slightly and opened my mouth to call Shuying's name.
Shuying hurriedly came in and called me Miss, but he hesitated and didn't know how to speak.
And the courteous voice then sounded: "Disturbed the princess, is it a slave." ”
I smiled faintly: "The girl's words are serious, there is an urgency, and the order of the monarch cannot be violated." ”
"But Miss ......"
Before she could finish her sentence, I reached out and took her hand, motioning for her not to continue. He turned to the servant girl and said, "May I ask the girl, is there a woman in the palace who is blessed with longevity?"
The maidservant thought for a moment and replied, "Your Highness, the nurse and the lady of the king, should be like this." ”
I nodded lightly: "Then Miss Lao asked Mrs. Wang to 'ask for a scarf' for Murong Qing." ”
"It's ......," she hesitated.
I said lightly: "There is an urgent edict in the palace, and it must be that the saint is ill and unstable, otherwise he will not easily disturb the prince's wedding ceremony." Therefore, it is not yet known when His Highness will return, and it is not appropriate to wait like this after all. And if the bride unveils the hippa by herself, it will be unlucky, even if Murong Qing doesn't care, but it will be rumored in the future that it will not be a good thing for His Royal Highness. Therefore, asking Mrs. Wang to 'please the scarf' on her behalf, although it is not in line with the system, it is polite to follow, and it is not without precedents. ”
My voice was calm, and I didn't rush when I finished speaking.
The maid was silent for a few seconds, and then said, "What the princess said is very true, and the slave maid will call someone to invite Mrs. Wang." ”
Mrs. Wang arrived after a while, and with the slow lifting of Xipa, I saw a luxurious and graceful room, with a hundred child tents, mandarin duck pillows, dragon and phoenix quilts, and the bed was sprinkled with red dates, peanuts, longan, lotus seeds, all kinds of happy fruit mascots, furnishings and displays, all joyful.
However, in this festive world, my husband is not among them.
It's not without a trace of loss, but in the bottom of my heart, there is a long sigh of relief, even though I know that it is inevitable, I can go on a skin-to-skin blind date with a strange man, I think I still can't let go completely.
Late, it's better than early, at least it can give me more time to adjust.
Thinking about it like this, I can't help but feel that I am a little ridiculous, what is there to resist and what I can't let go of.
I laughed self-deprecatingly in my heart, and simply stopped thinking about it.
There was still joy and the sorry and relieved voice of Mrs. Wang, and I smiled, but my eyes slowly fell to the window.
On the desk, the red candle shook tears.
This beautiful scenery can only be destined to be disappointed.
