55. The husband sings and the wife follows
After a night of fatigue, before dawn, Shen Rui was woken up by Min Hyuk's knock on the door. I didn't want to pay attention to it, but the people outside the door were so stubborn that they wouldn't stop until they opened the door. Not wanting the person sleeping soundly in her arms to be disturbed, Shen Rui left the bed lightly, casually put on a coat and went to open the door.
Following the etiquette in the palace, on the first day of the wedding, the prince needs to wear gorgeous clothes with the princess, and go to the king and queen of Nanchu in turn to salute, the prince kneels three times and knocks nine times, and the princess kneels three times and bows three times, because the prince is born to Mrs. Tong, so they also need to bow in front of Mrs. Tong, the second son kneels six knocks, and the princess two kneels and two bows.
Unexpectedly, it was Shen Rui who opened the door, Min Hyuk wanted to explore the situation in the house, but just as he was about to look in, his vision was blocked by Shen Rui.
"What are you looking at?"
Min Hyuk was speechless, he had been waiting for his son for ten years, and he hadn't seen anything yet. But she wisely didn't say this to Shen Rui, but said, "The son of the world hasn't woken up yet?" β
"Well, she's tired." When Shen Rui mentioned Yu Jinfan, there was a smile on her face unconsciously, but the smile under the tired word, no matter how you look at it, there is a hint of deep meaning.
"But the king must not go there." Min Hyuk was embarrassed, and he couldn't bear to hear Yu Jinfan sleeping. No one knows better than her that during this period of time, Yu Jinfan has hardly slept.
Shen Rui just remembered the etiquette of Shi Biding and her words, and frowned depressedly: "Isn't it okay to be late?" β
Min Hyuk couldn't cry or laugh, she could do it, but the king couldn't.
"You just said that the prince and I worked too hard last night, and we didn't let people rest well on our wedding night."
Min Hyuk rushed to the ground, and if she said such a thing, she said to the king? Even if she's embarrassed, I'm afraid it's the son of the worldβ
"Nanmu, you're talking nonsense again." Yu Jinfan, who didn't know when he woke up on the bed, said weakly and shyly.
Seeing that she was awake, Shen Rui glared at Min Hyuk fiercely, blaming her for disturbing Yu Jinfan's rest.
Min Hyuk didn't see it, and said with his eyes to his nose: "Shizi, the water has been prepared." β
Yu Jinfan responded casually, and was about to get up, but-
"Minhyuk, you wait outside for a while." Yu Jinfan said, a trace of light powder appeared on his face.
Min Hyuk's raised foot stopped in mid-air, and he looked up in surprise, and then smiled smugly at Shen Rui, and closed the door again. The wooden door pattern is beautiful, and Min Hyuk seriously 'admires' it, with mixed feelings.
"I'll wear it myself!"
"Don't touch me!"
"Nanmu!"
"You!"
Min Hyuk rolled his eyes to the sky, and the sky was white, a sign of good weather.
Man Zhao and Bi Machi came to serve Shen Rui with grooming supplies, and from a distance, they saw her standing alone outside the door, looking up at the sky, looking sluggish.
"Minhyuk, haven't they gotten up yet?" Man Zhao quickened his pace and walked over to her and asked.
Min Hyuk twisted his stiff neck and looked down at her slightly: "It's up, butβ"
"Help me wear it~"
"Look at this, this, you caught it."
"And here, you bite."
"Yu Jinfan, why am my breasts so much smaller than yours?"
Manzhao blinked and looked at Minhyuk, who looked up and continued to look at the sky. Manaki turned to Bimachi, who looked down at the water. Man Zhao scratched his head and stood obediently at the door, deaf to the inside of the house, waiting quietly.
After a while, the door opened, and the prince and the princess appeared neatly in front of them.
The three of them coughed lightly in tacit understanding, and each of them carried something into the house to dress them up and freshen up.
The sky was bright, Shen Rui took Yu Jinfan's hand, followed by Min He and the others, and went to Yucheng Palace.
The king of Southern Chu has a lot of opportunities, and he is already used to getting up early, and when the two of them arrived, he was sitting in the main hall to review the folds, and his momentum was majestic.
"The son-in-law (daughter-in-law) greets his father, long live his father." Standing under His Royal Highness, the two of them said in unison, one in front of the other, and knelt down.
"There's no one here, so it's all free." The king of Nanchu smiled, stopped his movements, put the brush aside, and looked up at the pair of newcomers below.
Shen Rui was already good-looking, wearing an embroidered lotus red dress, wrapped in a tall figure, lined skin is better than snow, beautiful and heroic, a different kind of charm.
It's very compatible with Fan'er. The King of Southern Chu nodded and turned to Yu Jinfan. In the past few days, Yu Jinfan has been depressed, and he was seriously ill before, and his complexion has been very bad, he is distressed, but he only hopes that she will get better soon. Now I see her in a new dress, although she is still slender, but with a smile on her face, her complexion is spirited, and her smile unconsciously deepens.
Shen Rui has been looking at the emperor on the throne in surprise, although he saw it yesterday, but after all, he only heard his voice and saw him through the hijab.
"Your name is Shen Rui?" The king of Nanchu asked, his majestic gaze turned to Shen Rui, and surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he was sharp.
Shen Rui stepped forward generously and gave a salute, with a bright smile: "Father can also call me Nanmu." β
The king of Nanchu saw that she had no fear of herself, but on the contrary, she was talking about her extraordinary behavior, her thick eyebrows were high, and she said sternly: "Nanmu, are you not afraid of loneliness?" β
"You are Jinfan's father, and Nanmu's father, Nanmu has only respect for you."
"A good one, only respect!" The king of Nanchu said, his eyes were sharp, and he said with appreciation: "Fan'er, it is your blessing to marry a wife like this." β
"Father Wang Yan smiled, marrying Jin Fan is Nanmu's blessing." Shen Rui said sincerely, and unconsciously shook Yu Jinfan's hand.
Yu Jinfan was suddenly held by her, and under the eyes of the King of Southern Chu, he couldn't help but redden, and said respectfully: "What my father said is true." β
The king of Nanchu didn't pay attention to her shyness, but stared at the clenched hand, surprised, and pleased that the two were in love. "Nanmu, Fan'er is burdened, and you, as her concubine, will have to share more for her in the future, understand?" As soon as the words turned, the king of Southern Chu suddenly said with a straight face.
Hearing this, Yu Jinfan's brows tightened slightly, and his face added a bit of sternness: "Father-"
"Your mother is still waiting to see your pair of beauties, go quickly." The king of Nanchu raised his hand to interrupt what she was about to say, paused, and said, "The queen's side, if you don't want to go, you don't have to go." β
Yu Jinfan had no choice but to retract his words: "Erchen retired." β
"Nanmu retired." Shen Ruifu sang with his wife and went out of the hall.
"Your father wants to inherit the throne to you?" A hundred meters away from the hall, Shen Rui couldn't help but ask.
Yu Jinfan has always known that she is smart, and he doesn't want to hide her, so he nodded.
Although Shen Rui made preparations for this possibility when she decided to come, she was still a little uncomfortable when this possibility was confirmed. "Do you really want to be king?" She asked, pausing and looking at Yu Jinfan steadily.
Yu Jinfan glanced back at her and laughed at herself: "Nanmu, some things are not something you can decide if you want to or not. β
Her tone was too melancholy, Shen Rui couldn't bear to ask again, and clenched her hand: "No matter what decision you make, I'm here." β
Yu Jinfan gratefully shook her hand back, and his heart of resistance, because of her companionship, gradually became safe.
