Chapter 53: Suddenly like a dream
From the palace gate to the main hall, the red carpet is spread on the ground, the big red pennants on both sides are flying high, and under the flag, the soldiers in red clothes stand neatly, all with their chins raised high, and their heroic posture is cool. Left and right came to the main hall greedily, following the rules of the palace, the princess and concubine need to worship the king of Southern Chu first, and then marry the prince.
Bi Ding and Man Zhao, as slaves and maids, were humble and could not enter the court, Shen Yinxiang took Shen Rui's hand from their hands and personally helped their daughter into the main hall.
"Princess Beizhen has arrived." The eunuch said sharply, and the hundred officials of the Manchu Dynasty stood in columns, and as the gate opened, all eyes gathered.
Yu Jinfan stood in the center of the hall in a red groom outfit, and everyone turned their eyes to look at the bride, but she, the groom, looked straight ahead indifferently, and her face was as calm as water.
"Fifth brother, don't be too depressed, I see that the maids around the princess are all good-looking, presumably she won't be too bad." Yu Yunyan whispered in her ear.
No matter how ugly or beautiful it is, it can't be the person she wants. Yu Jinfan thought self-deprecatingly, ignoring Yu Yunyan.
Yu Yunyan only thought that she was still worried that the bride was too ugly, and she didn't care, so she retreated and looked at the approaching bride strangely.
Shen Yinxiang carried Shen Rui all the way to Yu Jinfan's side and stood side by side. Letting go of his daughter's hand, he took a step forward and bowed to the king of Southern Chu with Beizhen etiquette: "Shen Yinxiang, the leader of Beizhen, has seen the king of Southern Chu. โ
Shen Rui stood in place, her daughter half-squatted on the ground, and said softly: "Shen Rui, the princess of Beizhen, asks the king of Southern Chu to say goodbye, and Wang Wanfu Jin'an." โ
This voice Nanmu? Yu Jinfan turned his head, looked at Shen Rui who couldn't see her face clearly under the hijab in surprise, and reached out to lift her hijab.
Seeing this, Yu Yunyan, who had been paying attention to Shen Rui, rushed over and grabbed her hand with an arrow step, and said nervously: "Fifth brother!." โ
Yu Jinfan came back to his senses by his call, realized that he had lost his proportion, and slowly withdrew his hand.
Everyone was also shocked by her sudden movements, and the king of Nanchu frowned: "Fan'er, what are you doing?" โ
"That's right, Brother Wang, no matter how anxious you are, you can't do this, and no one robs your sister-in-law." Yu Yunyan smiled, although it was a joke for Yu Jinfan, it also helped her solve her embarrassing predicament.
Aiko married, the other party is still the princess of Beizhen who helps the strength of Southern Chu, the king of Southern Chu was already happy, and when he heard Yu Yunyan say this, he didn't ask, and explained to Shen Yinxiang with a smile: "The prince is young and ignorant, Shen Qing don't be surprised." โ
Shen Yinxiang is not a person who is confined to small sections, especially if the other party is still the person who his daughter clearly said, he smiled indifferently and said: "It's all my own people, why don't you say it's strange." โ
When the king of Nanchu heard this, he was in a very good mood: "Yes, my own people, all my own people!" As he spoke, he looked at the bride dressed in red with a smile, and then looked at Yu Jinfan, whose expression had returned to calm, smiled with satisfaction, and said to the temple man beside him: "Begin." โ
"Yes, King." The temple people were full of smiling faces, swept the dust from the front, fell between the arms, raised their chins and said: "The time is up, the etiquette begins!" โ
Yu Jinfan looked at the quiet bride in front of him suspiciously, and slowly stretched out his hand to her.
The corners of her mouth under the hijab were pursed with a smug smile, and Shen Rui raised her hand and gently placed it on her palm.
It must be his own hallucination, how could it be Nanmu so coincidentally? It can't be hers. Yu Jinfan took her hand and walked out of the hall step by step, while laughing at his wishful thinking in his heart. She didn't dare to give herself hope, because the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
The royal family is different from ordinary people's homes, there are many etiquettes, according to the order of the time, the newlyweds first enter the ancestral hall to meet the ancestors, and then enter the harem to see the queen and Yu Jinfan's biological mother, Mrs. Tong, and finally return to Yonghe Mansion to worship heaven and earth.
Shen Rui was covered with her head and face as a dumb person throughout the whole process, and she even rolled her eyes and thought about the cave room. However, the environment did not allow it, so Shen Rui had to pretend to be a well-behaved little daughter-in-law and cooperate with Yu Jinfan. After some tossing, her well-behaved fell in Yu Jinfan's eyes, but she was even more sure that she was not Nanmu.
"Worship heaven and earth."
"Two worship the high hall."
"Husband and wife worship each other."
Bye-bye-bye, Shen Rui was dizzy, and finally heard the word "Licheng", and in an instant, Ren Minhyuk was liberated and helped into the cave room. When he went out, Shen Rui looked back at Yu Jinfan, a happy person standing in the crowd with a smile on his face, but there was no joy at all.
"Princess, please." Min Hyuk carefully helped Shen Rui to the bed in the new room and sat firmly, then stood on one side, and waited for Yu Jinfan with her.
Shen Rui's neck was so sore that she was pressed by the phoenix crown and the curtain, so she immediately picked up these messy things to take a good rest, but after waiting for a long time, Yu Jinfan didn't appear, but Min Hyuk did not leave an inch with respect.
Patience was consumed little by little, Shen Rui took a deep breath, and whispered in a soft voice that was not at all like his own voice: "When will the prince come back?" โ
"It should be soon." Min Hyuk said lightly, respectful with coldness.
How long is it going to be? Shen Rui rolled her eyes, her stomach gurgled accordingly, and she remembered that she hadn't eaten a single inch from morning to now! "Is there anything to eat? I'm so hungry. Shen Rui said pitifully in a soft voice.
Min Hyuk hesitated for a moment, then walked over to the table and took the pastry on it and placed it in front of her.
Shen Rui stretched out his hand and wanted to grab it and stuff it into his mouth, but
The phoenix eyes under the hijab turned, and the outstretched hand slowly and elegantly pinched a piece of pastry: "Min Hyuk, in fact, you don't have to wait here." โ
"It's the duty of a slave."
"Oh." Shen Rui responded casually and took a small bite of the pastry, which was so sweet and delicious that she really wanted to eat it in one bite. With a roll of her eyes, she swallowed the food in her mouth and smiled, "Minhyuk, I want to drink some hot water, I'm tired of you." โ
Min Hyuk frowned, and said that there are so many things about the concubine in this life, so he answered "yes" coldly and went out speechlessly.
The sound of the door closing, Shen Rui ripped off the hijab, grabbed the pastries in front of him and stuffed them into his mouth, hungry, really hungry. After a while, the small pastry in front of me was at the bottom.
Still not hugging, Shen Rui got up and ran to the table with all kinds of pastries, and reached out to get it-
Footsteps come from far and near. "How can it be so fast!" She cursed, took a piece and stuffed it into her mouth, walked quickly back to the edge of the bed and sat down, and put the red hijab back on.
Min Hyuk pushed the door in, walked to the side of the bed and handed the water to Shen Rui, her eyes fell on the empty plate in front of her, she blinked, and then looked at Shen Rui, her eyes were full of incredulity.
The footsteps came at the right time, and without looking, the two people in the room could hear who it was. Min Hyuk hurriedly knocked on the door to greet people, and before he saw Yu Jinfan, he smelled a strong smell of wine.
Shen Rui took a quick sip of water, put the cup aside, sat upright, and pricked up his ears to listen to the movement.
"Shizi, why do you drink so much?" Minhyuk cared and reached out to help her.
"No, I'm fine." Yu Jinfan said, his cheeks were red from drinking a lot of wine, and his eyes were cold and clear.
Min Hyuk guessed that she must be thinking of Nan Mu, and she was in a bad mood, so she sighed silently, and took the wedding scale on the table according to the rules and put her hands on the side of the bed.
Yu Jinfan looked at the bride beside the bed, and then looked at the wedding scale, a sarcasm hit her heart, she sneered, poured a glass of water and poured it into her stomach.
Seeing this, Min Hyuk quickly turned back, and lowered his voice distressedly and persuaded: "Shizi, don't be like this, Shizi is waiting for you." โ
"The princess?" Yu Jinfan sneered, slammed the wine glass he was holding on the table, took the wedding scale, strode to the side of the bed and picked it up, and turned around to leave without looking-
"The bride is leaving without looking?"
The voice of a long smile came from behind him, and Yu Jinfan's whole body froze in place, his head blank.
The moment the hijab was lifted, Min Hyuk saw Shen Rui, but it was too sudden and incredible. Until Shen Rui opened her mouth to speak, the annoying and familiar voice really made her want to cry. Glancing at Yu Jinfan, who was standing still by the door, Min Hyuk rubbed his red eyes, and went out playfully, leaving space for them.
"What are you doing, come here!" Shen Rui didn't have a good airway, and shook his sour head left and right.
It's her, it's really her!
Yu Jinfan turned around slowly in disbelief, and the figure that had been involved thousands of times in her dream was really in front of her, wearing a wedding dress, and she was her bride. "Is it a dream?" She murmured, reaching out in disbelief and slapping herself hard.
The voice was crisp, Shen Rui ran from the bed to her, grabbed her hand and glared, "What are you doing beating yourself?" โ
"It hurts, it's not a dream." Yu Jinfan muttered to himself, mist rising in his cold eyes.
"Stupid, stupid!" Shen Rui scolded, but her hand gently stroked the position she had just hit: "You are thin and haggard." โ
Yu Jinfan just smiled, looked at her, and the corners of his mouth couldn't hide the rise.
"Fool!" Shen Rui scolded with a smile, opened her arms, and hugged her tightly.
Min Hyuk sat down at random outside the door, looking at the closed doorway, with a smile on his lips.
Gao Zhongping followed the arrangement and looked over, but from a distance, he saw Min Hyuk sitting alone outside the house, and he seemed to be in a good mood. He walked over suspiciously: "Why are you here by yourself?" What about the son? โ
Min Hyuk raised his chin with a smile on his face and gestured to be in the room.
"The princess is also in it?" Gao Zhongping asked, seeing her nodding, remembering her task, her brows were depressed: "Min Hyuk, is the princess beautiful?" โ
"It's beautiful, but it's worse than the world."
"That's good." Gao Zhongping patted his chest, clenched his fists responsibly, and suddenly started push-ups on the spot.
"Are you alright?" Min Hyuk was speechless, baffled by his sudden behavior.
Gao Zhongping complained: "Aren't you standing and talking without backache!" When the substitute of the son of the world, I am uneasy to think about it. โ
Min Hyuk suddenly realized, then remembered their earlier arrangement, and said with a smile: "Get up, I don't need you to be a stand-in." โ
Gao Zhongping was stunned for a moment, jumped up from the ground in an instant, and said excitedly: "Really, you didn't lie to me. โ
"What a lie to you." Min Hyuk smiled, thinking of something, rolled his eyes, got up and patted his skirt: "Let's go, let's go meet the old man too." โ
"The deceased?" Gao Zhongping scratched his head and followed her to the โกโก in a fog.
