Chapter 38: The Day of the Wedding
The eastern sky floated a piece of fish belly white, the earth gradually brightened up, the morning light slightly refracted through the floating clouds, as if it was the kind of hope when human beings first opened the world, beautiful and indifferent, and today Qinglong, Mingtang, Jinkui, Tiande, Yutang, Si Ming six stars, when the six days are on duty, it is called "the auspicious day of the zodiac", it is appropriate to marry and move, it is appropriate to part, today is the wedding day of the three princes Jue Xue and the elf lord Lin Xi.
The entire palace is lit up. The golden glazed tiles shine dazzlingly in the sun, and the festive red satin cornices are entangled in every corner of the eaves, carved beams and paintings, golden and brilliant, red clouds are festive, and a good and peaceful atmosphere.
The head of the palace is driven, the maids and father-in-law are also dressed in joy, and the most popular at this time is the Ziyun Palace, which is the royal annex in the backyard of the palace, and today is going to marry the bride. Because Lin Xi was already in the emperor. This is only a few hundred meters away, not noisy and lively enough, listen to the advice of the temple monks, if the two need to grow old together, this marriage process must be taken seriously. The sedan chair for the wedding needs to be around the city of Kyoto, and the groom needs to ride a horse to be blessed by hundreds of people.
The sedan chair to welcome the relatives went from the Ziyun Hall to the Imperial Grass Hall, and it was only half an hour on the road, but due to the complexity of the etiquette, it took nearly an hour. The roads in half of Kyoto were blocked, and soldiers guarded both sides of the search team.
There were especially many women, children and children along the way, and everyone discussed this marriage. There are loud applauds, let the wedding be a bride price for the people to enjoy together, and more are whispering.
"My husband followed King Yi to fight, life and death are uncertain, why is there still a extravagant marriage here?"
"Yes, yes, there is a country to have a home, this third prince is really unpopular compared with the second prince. ”
"I heard that this bride has already lived in the palace, why is it not like this, I don't know how to count etiquette. ”
"I heard that Master Lin, no one from her mother's family came, and this is too unimportant. ”
"It's no wonder that people are fighting several clans in the south of Caiyun now. ”
"Yes, yes, I heard that this marriage is for Chongxi. ”
......
Jue Ze's ears have always been sensitive, and he naturally heard every word of this kind of broken thoughts, but he still had a happy face and a red face.
Today, he is going to marry the man in the painting, and then wait for her to poison himself with a pearl hairpin. He wondered how she would dress her face, and how she would use the poison he had handed her with his own hands.
When a group of people returned to the Purple Cloud Palace, the bride was already wearing a red scarlet gold thorn five phoenix Ji dress, her head covered with a red curtain, she stood there respectfully, and then cautiously walked towards the sedan chair, Jue Xue reached out to support her slender jade hand, the skin was crystal clear, but the moment he touched it, his heart chuckled, that temperature, cold and cold, this is not the temperature that a person should have, more like a kind of puppet under the spell of bewitchment.
The smile on his face did not disappear, but the light in his eyes quietly disappeared.
The two walked to the main hall arm in arm and saluted the emperor and queen. The whole hall is arranged to be particularly festive, and there are many ministers who come to congratulate, the voice of silk and bamboo is endless, and the banquet is staggered, the words are happy, and they are happy.
Today, the queen is also dressed with extra care. Dressed in a yellow six-phoenix robe, the skirt is decorated with auspicious clouds, and the flowers are dotted. And the emperor's ninety-five supreme dragon robe, plus the crown with a tassel falling, his expression was indifferent, and the false greetings of everyone in the hall were perfunctory, which seemed incompatible.
"Erchen Jue chose to bring his wife Lin Xi to see his parents. Jue Xue took Lin Xi's hand, and the two knelt down and made a big salute.
One worships heaven and earth, two worships the high hall, husband and wife worship each other, accompanied by the slogan of the matchmaker's bright hall, the two of them are mechanically saluting.
At this time, I don't know what kind of heart the queen pressed, and when she was serving tea to her parents, she deliberately turned the tea over Lin Xi's hijab.
"Oops, oops, there is water and wealth. The matchmaker next to him was used to seeing the big scene, and hurriedly added.
The queen hurriedly took out the handkerchief in her arms and wanted to wipe it for Lin Xi, but accidentally her slender nails pulled her hijab, and the hijab fell off completely.
Lin Xi's eyebrows are like green feathers, and his muscles are like mutton fat. The face is lined with peach petals, and the mustache is piled with golden phoenix silk. The red makeup made her look very good, but when everyone was stunned and stared in horror, Lin Xi's expression was frozen and stiff, without any fright.
I just said very mechanically, "Don't worry." ”
Jue Xue swept her pink cheeks with the corner of his eye, his expression was as cold as frost, his heart felt frozen, and the heartache of breaking into slag after freezing, he felt that he couldn't breathe smoothly, and the smile that had been pretending on his face at this moment gradually faded, and it turned out that his grief was greater than his heart dying.
Emperor Jing's eyes were thoughtful, and he glanced at the three of them with disdain and cunning, as if everything was under his control.
"It's a good sentence to have water and wealth, Lin Xi married into my royal family, since the marriage of the three clans, Kyushu will be safe. Emperor Jing's deep voice was like a savior announcing the purpose of this marriage. Even if Jue Xue married today may just be a puppet under the puppet technique, Lin Xi's puppet.
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the situation is embarrassing.
On the night of the candles in the cave room, the moonlight was hazy, but there was only one person in the room, and the puppet technique had reached the time, and now all that was left on the bed was the wedding dress that the bride wore during the day and the blue hairpin that Lin Xi had been using.
As if he had lost his soul, he held a blue hairpin, whose head was still inlaid with black powder, presumably a poison she had carefully concocted.
He played, for a while, wanted to stab directly into his heart, that kind of despair, he could hear his own heartbeat, it turned out that the moment he had been looking forward to the moment when she held the poison and stabbed himself finally did not materialize, and she disappeared to suffocate his wrist.
When did you escape from the palace?
He gradually regained his usual thinking and logic, the palace was heavily guarded, and Zifeng had been following closely again.
Unless it was in the small hour that she left the palace, who in the palace could have such great ability to help her abscond, after all, she didn't have any spells at this time.
At this time, a cloud of black qi appeared in the room, which was the breath of the Xuan Ming mage.
And in that black cloak was no longer a black hole-like starry sky, but Emperor Jing's cynical expression.
"I let her out of the palace. Emperor Jing looked at his lost son, his eyes were not pity, but more mockery, mocking how his infatuated son was deceived. "But it doesn't matter, for the people of the world, she is already your wife, especially when the queen's veil is taken off, everyone is watching, and the hall is full of civil and military officials, and the one who worships you is the elf lord Lin Xi. ”
"Why?" Jue chose to get up, he was taller than Emperor Jing, but at this moment, he was completely vulnerable.
Lin Shangde ...... Sure enough, it was the old fox, and he actually had the other half of the power of the Xuan Ming in his hand. Jue Xue seemed to understand a little, it turned out that Emperor Jing tempted the demon clan to invade, King Yi forced in, and had to marry a daughter, just to force Lin Shangde to hand over the bottom of the box.
"I only have half of the power of the Xuan Ming in my body, so my perception of the future is not complete, if I can subdue all the power of the Xuan Ming, I can fable the future and rule the world. Emperor Jing said heroic, and an ambition was about to come out.
"Father, when did you have the power of the Occult Spirit. Jue chose to climb along the pole, and it was rare that Emperor Jing had Sima Zhao's heart revealed.
"I have never been your father, King Jing of the Kyushu human race has always been weak and sickly, and the doctor said that he will not live to live for twenty, and he has no ability to pass on the lineage. Emperor Jing began the magic sound of male and female, maybe this made people unable to hear any tone and emotion.
"So how can I be your father?" he continued, "I sometimes wonder why you say that King Yi, the fourth and the fifth look so different, why is there no one to criticize it?
Jue Xue's heartstrings tightened, and the haze of being abandoned suddenly dispersed. Now it's more interesting for Emperor Jing to blow himself up in front of him.
"What do you mean?" He didn't believe his ears a little, no wonder he kept saying that Emperor Jing had few children and grandchildren, it turned out that he couldn't have children at all, so these princes ......
How much thought should he have to endure this, pretending to be sick and pretending to be stupid and crazy, Jue Xue seemed to understand what Emperor Jing told him that time, he must make the enemy crazy and flamboyant, so that he can have a chance to put him at once.
"So, Jue Xue has always been my favorite son, thank you for not leaving. When your mother fled from the Red Devils with you in her arms, she was almost dying, and she begged me to take you in. ”
"By that time I was nearing the end of my life, and I was terminally ill. However, it was your mother who never gave up, it was she who treated me, encouraged me, and finally she couldn't bear half of the power of the underworld, so she extradited me. ”
Jue Xue's eyes seem to make up for that picture one by one, speaking of forbearance, today's humiliation of Jue Xue is not worthy of comparison with Emperor Jing, when it comes to deep love, maybe Emperor Jing seems to be more affectionate to his mother. The power of the Xuan Ming hurts the body, makes people unable to have children, makes people suffer from division at any time, and feels like they are carrying the power of a universe every minute.
Is Emperor Jing for the power of the Xuan Ming to bring glory and the right to predict the future, or is it just to extradite his mother?
He didn't have a solution.
Maybe this world is not so detailed in black and white, but the only thing that is certain is that Lin Xi has already set off on the way to the south of Caiyun, which is another conspiracy of Emperor Jing.
"Please let Lin Xi go. Jue Ze knelt on his legs, his eyes full of pleading.
"If I let them go, how can the world let me go?" With the words, Emperor Jing rolled into a puff of black smoke and drifted away.
