4. First bloom

On the second day, the weather was fine.

Although she is called a side concubine, she is actually still a concubine. Chu Xue had long understood, so when the sedan chair of King Heng's Mansion quietly picked her up from her home in the evening, she was not disappointed. The only regret in my heart is that I was born to my parents who personally sent her to the wedding sedan chair, her father has been an official in the court for nearly 30 years, and he has always been upright, but now as his daughter, he wants to marry as a concubine, and he should not be comfortable in his heart.

She sighed silently in her heart.

In less than half an hour, the sedan chair carrying her had arrived at King Heng's Mansion. According to the rules, Song Chen couldn't marry in person, but she was already waiting at the door at the moment, and as soon as she stepped out of the sedan chair on the ground, a maidservant girl came to help. Because of the red hijab, the farthest thing she could see was the gold-rimmed official boots under Song Chen's red robe in front of her.

The Wantang Garden specially prepared for her has already been cleaned up, all the way, through the hijab can also vaguely see the red joy everywhere, she smiled self-comfortingly, except for no marriage, wedding cannon, worship heaven and earth, wedding banquet and other links, it seems to be similar to the marriage ceremony.

When she entered the dormitory, the maidservant led her to the bed, and she sat down slowly, waiting for King Heng to come and lift her head.

Several handmaidens stood quietly aside.

The room was quiet, as if I could hear my own heartbeat gradually accelerating. Chu Xue under the hijab lowered her eyes, watched his footsteps gradually approach, stopped in front of her, and then felt a gust of wind blowing, and the red cloth on her head was gently removed.

"Cher."

It was the first time he had called her like that.

She took a deep breath and slowly looked up to meet his gaze.

I don't know if it's the wedding dress on his body, he is particularly handsome in front of him, and the smile on his face is more and more warm, compared with the previous two meetings, he is more kind and gentle tonight.

Fortunately, this man who will be with her for the rest of her life, her husband, looks very pleasing to the eye, and God still pities her.

What about herself?

She wasn't worried, because she saw the amazement in his eyes.

What woman in the world isn't the most beautiful on her wedding night? What's more, it's her already impeccable face.

Truly stunning.

"Concubine, I've seen the prince." She cautiously lowered her eyes and smiled moderately.

"You're so beautiful!" He sighed.

"The prince has won the award." She still didn't dare to look him in the eye, but she smiled a little deeper, making the face a little more beautiful.

He gently pulled up the soft and boneless hands that hung on the red dress, "Hungry, aren't you?" Dinner is set up in the outer hall, let's go and use some together? ”

"Lord, it's hot, let's ask Mrs. to change her clothes first." A bride in the room reminded softly.

This reminder is actually very intimate, it is midsummer in June, and regardless of the heavy phoenix crown on her head, the layers of wedding clothes on her body alone have already made her sweat a little, and she really needs to change her clothes. Song Chen seemed to be a little reluctant, and looked at her for a while before saying, "It's okay, I'll wait for you in the outer hall." ”

She bowed her head slightly, got up, and was led by the maidservant to bathe and change clothes.

After a simple bath, she changed into a red nightdress, and put the long hair on the back of her head in a simple bun, looking at the demure and soft makeup in the mirror, she was relieved, and finally raised her feet and walked towards the outer hall.

The outer hall had already set up wine and food, and Song Chen, who was also better dressed, was sitting at the table waiting for her. She bowed lightly and sat down beside him.

In fact, this table of wine and food is just a symbolic arrangement, who would put their mind on eating on such a good day?

Of course he understood this, and he didn't move his chopsticks, just poured two glasses of wine and handed her one of them, and she obediently took it.

Since you can't drink the same wine, these two drinks are the right to today's happy bar.

But she didn't know how to drink, seeing that he first drank the cup in his hand and looked at her with a smile, she frowned slightly and raised her head to drink, and then unsurprisingly choked a few light coughs. After calming down, she said bluntly and embarrassedly, "The concubine doesn't know how to drink, which makes the prince smile." ”

"It's okay, I'll drink with this king in the future, and it will be slowly." He laughed and poured himself another glass, and when he was about to pour it for her, the hand holding the flask paused, but put it down.

Seeing his small behavior, she suddenly remembered the scene when she met the first two times, and thought of the self-proclaimed "below" he called at the time, so she apologized softly, "The first two concubines didn't know the prince, it was very rude, please forgive the prince." ”

"It's okay, if it weren't for those two encounters, why would Xue'er be sitting here at this moment?" He kept looking at her.

I don't know if it's because she was choked by the wine, her face was crimson, and it spread to the slightly wet sideburns after bathing, such a color complemented the red dress on her body, and tickled people's hearts.

She didn't know how charming she was.

Another glass of wine was in his throat, and he placed it on the table with a click. She was a little surprised, and raised her eyes to meet his, and saw that his eyes were suddenly dark, and one leaned down to take her into his arms, and without the slightest pause, his lips fell.

The whispered exclamation was all choked into his throat, and the flickering red candle made the room a little charming.

She subconsciously nudged him the moment she was kissed, but this weak action made him hug her waist tighter, and his mouth increased the force.

Why push, isn't this your husband?

His gentle lips seemed to be asking, but she could no longer answer anything, and her thoughts and reason had been driven out of her chaotic mind in an instant by this sudden first kiss. She had never kissed, he could feel it, so he guided her with his body, and his wine-scented lips and tongue sucked her softly, sly and gently teasing, little by little entwining her tongue that had nowhere to hide, forcing her to respond, and slowly sucking the sweetness in her mouth.

The maidservants had already exited the door, and he and her were the only ones in the bedroom.

Time seemed to stand still, I don't know how long it took, he finally let go of her lips, but she was still in her arms, but she was already weak, her face was even redder, and her chest was also rising and falling violently with the gasping that had yet to be calmed, and a pair of watery black eyes were looking at him helplessly, like a weak little trapped beast surrounded by it.

But this is what makes people lustful. The fire is more vigorous.

He simply picked him up horizontally, got up and took a few steps into the inner room. Because she understood what was going to happen next, she was inevitably a little nervous when she was put on the bed, looking at the desire rolling in the man's eyes. Fire, feeling him undress herself, she feared even though she knew it was inevitable.

"Lord ......"

It was a nervous refusal, but the exit turned into a weak call, so the end of the words was still taken into his mouth, but he didn't stay for long, and his lips had gradually slid down.

"Cher, do you like it?" The kiss that fell on his body revealed his hoarse voice in a roundabout way.

The silky nightdress falls with the trend, leaving a faint fragrance that seems to be absent in vain.

She roughly understood the steps to come, and couldn't help but be even more nervous.

He sensed her nervousness, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, Xue'er, I'm gentle, it won't hurt very much, I won't ......"

Before he finished his sentence, he had already stepped forward unexpectedly.

"Hmmm......"

It hurt more than expected.

She frowned and grabbed him helplessly around his shoulders.

But he seemed to have forgotten the gentleness just now, and refused to stop at all.

Irrepressible moaning anymore. groaning, finally all spilled out of his throat, one by one, softly in the shaking bed tent.

……

~~

Qin Mansion.

Qin Mu, a dragon and tiger general who is nearly forty years old, is having dinner with his family. The imperial court has not fought for many years, and General Qin has also lived in the capital for a long time, so the warm scene of a family gathering at the dinner table is commonplace.

The meals were served one after another, but the eldest son Qin Yuan was not seen for a long time, "What about Nian Xiu?" Qin Mu asked while raising his chopsticks.

Nian Xiu is Qin Yuan's word.

"Probably there are a lot of things in the yamen today, let's eat first." Mrs. Qin, who was personally serving soup for her husband, replied, put down the bowl, and turned her head to the maid behind her and ordered, "Let the kitchen leave some food for Nian Xiu." ”

"Yes." The maid bowed her head in response, and then raised her foot to the door, and met a young man with eyes like a torch.

The young man was covered in dust, and he could see that he was in a hurry to come back.

"No need to keep food, I'm already back, father, mother."

Qin Yuan, who has reached the age of the crown, is handsome and upright, and has learned a good martial arts, coupled with the courage and strategy inherited from his father, it is a good age to be high-spirited.

Seeing that he sat down directly after entering the house, Mrs. Qin frowned, "Have you washed your hands?" ”

"I washed it outside."

This is the truth, he has a good habit of washing his hands when he enters the door since he was a child, and although he was in a hurry to go home for dinner just now, he didn't forget this stubble.

"Kyoweiji has been busy lately?" Father Qin Mu asked casually.

"I am stepping up preparations for the emperor's birthday next month, so I am naturally busy." Qin Yuan replied while picking up his chopsticks.

"I'm so busy that I can't get home, I can't come back at noon, so I have to remember to eat on time." Mrs. Qin didn't forget the advice on her lips when she took care of serving him vegetables.

"Don't worry, mother."

"It's time for my brother to marry a sister-in-law, and if I have a sister-in-law, I will definitely go home early every day." The twelve-year-old little sister on the side, Qin Lian, smiled slyly.

Qin Yuan took a meal, sandwiched a piece of sweet and sour fish and put it in her bowl, "Eat well, don't be like an old woman all day long." ”

Qin Lian sold his good and got cheap, and he didn't intervene anymore, and concentrated on eating fish.

The young girl's unintentional words triggered the emotion in Mrs. Qin's heart, and when the mother stopped the chopsticks, "Li'er's words are not unreasonable, my mother also inquired about a few girls for you here, and the errand will be easier after a while, you should also consider it, you are twenty years old, and it is time to become a family." ”

Qin Yuan paused and said in a low voice: "Don't worry about this, I think about it in two years." ”

"How long do you want to delay," Mrs. Qin sighed, and then lowered her voice, "The Yue family is gone, and the marriage contract has long been lost, you ......"

"Mother," he interrupted his mother, as if evading, "I sat down after a busy day, and we won't talk about this today." ”

Hearing the conversation between the mother and son beside him, Qin Mu put down the glass of wine that was about to be brought to his lips, and his face sank, "The melon that is twisted is not sweet, just listen to the cultivation first, a good man cultivates himself first, and when the time comes, if you are not in a hurry, he will be in a hurry." ”

Seeing that her husband's face was wrong, Mrs. Qin understood that what she had just said should not be said, so she gave up.

Qin Yuan buried his head in eating and didn't say anything more.

But the face of the little girl who was a little blurry when she was a child flashed in her mind, and the crisp call that she seemed to still ring in her ears, "Brother Nian Xiu, Brother Nian Xiu", these memories suddenly made the food in her mouth suddenly tasteless.

In a blink of an eye, eight years.

After dinner that day, Qin Mu slowly walked into his study and came to the inner room.

Here is a collection of weapons used when he led his troops out on the expedition in the past, and it is full of the glory of the years when he was a horse. He walked to the innermost side, took out a long, narrow wooden box from the closet, and opened it gently after carefully wiping it with a handkerchief.

A feathered arrow came into view.

The shaft of the arrow is engraved with a small character "Yue".

He stroked it carefully with his hand, and after a sigh, his eyes gradually became wet.

"Big brother, after so many years, I can't clear your name, even Wenwen hasn't been found, the foolish brother is incompetent, can you blame me?"

The study was silent.

In the twenty-first year of Jianhe, Jianwei General Yue Lan and his wife Chu Rong, who had been five months pregnant, and Yue Wen, the eldest son Yue Zhi's youngest daughter, and other 36 members of the family were wiped out in the Yingyue Manor in the southern suburbs of Weizhou City.

Although the government and the opposition were shocked and the world was in an uproar, it was said that the Ministry of War had ironclad evidence, and it was personally reviewed by the emperor.

Eight years is enough time for the world to forget that absurd bloody case.

However, after all, there are still people who remember, such as Qin Mu, who lived and died with Yue Lan, still remembers the righteousness of his former comrades, such as Qin Yuan, who had spent some time with Yue Wen's childhood sweetheart, and still remembers the little girl who actually disappeared with him.

After a long time, the light in the study went out, Qin Mu walked out, and closed the door tightly.
