Chapter 7: Marriage (1)

Putting aside the reluctance in the emperor's heart, November 15 was still as scheduled, and it came soon.

In the early morning of the 15th, Tang Shaoshuai, dressed in military uniform, sat in a new-style sedan and opened the road in front, with countless people behind him, and his subordinates carrying guns and riding tall horses in a neat line. It is mighty and mighty, attracting countless viewers.

Some old residents of Kyoto watched and couldn't help but sigh: "This is really the most luxurious wedding in this century." ”

The group arrived at the main gate of the palace, and Tang Shaoshuai got out of the car, and behind him, the soldiers lined up in two columns, standing on both sides of the main gate of the palace, carrying their guns to the sky.

Young Marshal Tang walked slowly to the closed palace gate, and before he could stretch out his hand, the palace gate slowly opened from the inside as if it had cooperated with him.

Inside the palace and outside the palace, it seems that there are completely two shijies - civilization contrasts with backwardness, progress contrasts with decay.

The corset on Tang Shaoshuai's body seemed to have a smell of iron and blood, and the girl's old-fashioned wedding dress covering her head and face was conservative and reserved, but the wonderful thing was that in the eyes of all the onlookers, the delicate woman who was approaching Tang Shaoshuai step by step gave people a wonderful sense of fit.

Under the rising sun, the emperor calmly faced, held the girl's soft in his hand, and guided her to finally walk out of the palace gate that she had never stepped out of in her life, and then finally handed her over to another man with his own hands.

Under the red, almost airtight hijab, Qu Ning's eyes could only see the small space at her feetβ€”just enough for her to take a small step without tripping.

When he felt that the person holding him had changed, and he could see another pair of big feet wearing leather shoes at his feet-the moment he was changed, Qu Ning almost involuntarily trembled.

The man didn't pause, but just held her soft tighter.

He led her into the car, and when he heard the sound of the car door being closed and the car starting, Qu Ning, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, was almost at a loss at this moment.

Perhaps sensing her distraction, Qu Ning heard the man's deep voice ringing in the confined space in the car.

"We're going to Trinity Cathedral on Seymour Road now and have a Western-style wedding first. Pastors and guests will be there waiting for us. Obviously, this is not for the driver who has been driving in silence, as if there is no such thing as a silent driver, but an explanation specifically for her.

Qu Ning's heart trembled slightly: if she saw the report that Tang Zhong personally went to talk to her about the dowry that day, she still felt that she might be self-inflicted, then his attitude towards her today was really friendly and completely beyond her expectations. It was the kind of kindness she hadn't expected to receive from this man before.

Qu Ning only felt the tip of her heart tremble, her closed lips trembled slightly, and her originally somewhat uncertain heart was gradually calmed down by the other party's calm emotions.

After Tang Shaoshuai finished speaking, he paused, as if he was casually turning his head slightly: "After a while, your maid will wait for you to change a set of clothes first, although you haven't worn it yet, but I look at it, the size should be completely suitable." ”

"......" Qu Ning, who had only been slightly 'teased' after a long time of reminiscing, didn't know what to say in an instant: Young Marshal Tang, are you refreshing the lower limit of your heart today?

You can know the size of a woman at a glance, how experienced are you, Tang Great Demon King?

The bride, who had not spoken since she got into the car, finally couldn't help coughing lightly: "Is it a white wedding dress?" ”

The voice was soft, glutinous, delicate and sweet.

Although it was the same angry voice he had heard that day, it sounded completely different.

She was currying favor with him, so she deliberately spoke with such a soft and glutinous voice?

Tang Shaoshuai couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips slightly, coughed lightly to suppress his mood that couldn't help but be raised, held her hand tightly and turned his head and asked, "Oh? Do you know white wedding dresses too? After a pause, he asked thoughtfully, "Shouldn't you feel unlucky?" Don't worry, there are two sets for you, one is pure white according to Western etiquette, and the other is festive red, if you are afraid of bad luck...... That's all you wear in red. ”

Speaking of Zuihou, there was a faint regret on his face.

"Huh? weishenme to wear red? Do you want to imply that I am not pure enough to wear a pure white wedding dress? Suddenly, there were muffled, unhappy words from under the hijab.

As soon as Qu Ning said something provocative, he felt that the man who was pulling him up, and his big hand also shook, obviously in a very good mood.

He stretched out his hand and rubbed her neatly combed sideburns: "Her Royal Highness the princess is really well-read and memorized, and even read the Bible, it is someone Tang who underestimates you." ”

"......" was obviously just rubbing his sideburns, but under the hijab, Qu Ning suddenly felt that his cheeks were like fire.

She could feel the joy of the people around her, as well as the faint taste of pampering revealed from this small action.

Qu Ning only felt that his heart suddenly seemed to have mixed feelings: this man who jumped out of his way and even brought a little frivolity next to him was really the legendary eighteen-year-old leader and invincible bandit leader Tang Shaoshuai?

Weishenme and what she imagined were completely different things? Even if she hasn't "blackened" Young Marshal Tang in her mind, she has never imagined a battlefield battle, a general who is full of anger as an ordinary boy next door who is gentle and polite to her!

It's nice to be spoiled and gentle, but it's really like a dream.

She was about to say something, when the car suddenly stopped, and the man took her hand and got out of the car, and then the bride came and took her over to change clothes.

Finally able to take off the hijab, as if suddenly relieved, only to feel that the sky is clear, refreshing, Qu Ning just recalled the taste of "freedom", looked around, but only saw her two loyal maids, Baoqin and Suqin have a bitter face.

The others retreated, leaving the room to Her Royal Highness the princess to freshen up and change clothes, seeing that there was no one around, Qu Ning twisted her eyebrows slightly: "Baoqin, Suqin, what's wrong with you two?" "I was fine before I left the palace, why am I in a bad mood now? Was it offended by the soldiers?

Su Qin glanced at the white wedding dress she was holding in her hand, and her face showed a little sadness and hatred: "Your Highness, you are wearing all white on the big day, but you are the Tang family personally begging to marry, how can you suffer such an insult!" She angrily pointed to another set of red wedding clothes next to her, "Fortunately, they have prepared another set, Your Highness, you just want to compromise and please the person surnamed Tang, in this matter, you must not be condescending to dignity, and you must not commit taboos." ”

Qu Ning listened quietly to her finish.

Her expression gradually became heavy, rubbing the corners of her forehead, and she waved her hand to stop Su Qin's unfinished tirade.

Why did she forget that in this era, wearing a white wedding dress at a wedding is too unusual.

No wonder Tang finally had to explain it to her, no wonder...... Don would eventually find her answer amusing.

The attitudes of Suqin and Baoqin represent the attitude of the vast majority of people in this era towards Westernization: rejection, uneasiness, and disobedience and rebellion.

Whether to obey this Shijie criterion and obediently wear the red wedding dress that represents the festivities, or to wear a white wedding dress that blends with his style but goes against the times, this choice has great representative significance.

"Baoqin, do you think so too?" Qu Ning turned his head to look at his other faithful maid.

Baoqin lowered her head slightly, thought for a while, and then replied to Qu Ning: "Your Highness's skin is like jade, and her temperament is elegant, and it looks better to wear white than red on weekdays." ”

Qu Ning couldn't help laughing when she heard this, shook her head slightly and sighed: "You, this is really a slippery answer." praised her, but said that it looks better to wear white on weekdays, isn't it a euphemism to say that it's better not to wear white today?

The two maids who were most faithful to her, and who thought most of them from her side, said so, and she could probably guess what it would be like for her to wear this white wedding dress and swear to him before God today.

The eyes of the guests will be very interesting.

"Your Highness still wants to ......" Su Qin couldn't help frowning slightly when she saw that she had reached out to get the white wedding dress.

"Have you ever heard of red men and green women?" Qu Ning stretched out her hand to shake off the wedding dress, looked at the delicate lace handiwork on it, and couldn't help touching it.

"Red men and green women?"

"In the past, at weddings, men wore red and women wore green. On the day of marriage, the woman should wear dark colors, representing the woman's virtue and dedication. Qu Ning glanced at her maid and said with a smile, "But now, red represents festivity. Instead, it's green, and it's gradually forgotten. ”

Glancing at the two of them who were at a loss, she made up her mind: "So the world changes over time, with the change of time, our habits should also change, as for whether I can live a prosperous life in the future, everything depends on me, but how can a wedding dress decide?" ”

"I've never heard of a wedding dressed in white...... Look at this dress, there is no other color at all...... "Suqin is very aggrieved: all white, that is the color of mourning!" It is said that women should be pretty and filial, and white is good-looking, but it really can't be worn!

"Wouldn't it be better if no one wore it? With my previous identity and my identity after marrying Tang Zhong, today's wedding will inevitably be full of reporters. After today, maybe I'll be able to lead the way! This reminded her of an advertising slogan, "I don't chase the pop, let the pop chase me." With her status and status, she really has the confidence to say this now.

Su Qin and Baoqin had to persuade again, Qu Ning had already secretly used her strength to hook the red wedding dress that was also finely shaped on the hook next to her - only to hear a "stab" sound, and she deliberately cut a small hole on it.

Qu Ning glanced at the dress in surprise, and spread her hands helplessly: "Okay, I don't have a choice now." ”

Looking at the two little maids who suddenly cried and lost their faces, she couldn't help but purse her lips and smile: "Don't be so sad, this white wedding dress, you can see at a glance, it was carefully selected by Tang Shaoshuai." "The style is very in line with the conservative aesthetics of the Chinese people, but it completely sets off her curves. Although the bag is tight, there is a different kind of enchantment.

As an Oriental woman who has just become an adult, her curves are not very prominent, but this dress makes her look extraordinarily β–‘, and this one looks like there are countless pheromones all over her body.

Not to mention the fine handiwork, the white material seems to be mixed with countless things that shimmer with silver luster, and it is estimated that under the flash that will frequently murder the film for a while, the light and shadow can make her particularly enchanting.

At this moment, seeing that the princess had already put her clothes on herself, knowing that she had no choice, Su Qin couldn't help but mutter: "...... What about careful selection, this unlucky color ......"

Qu Ning glanced at her lightly, looked at the woman with a smile in her glasses, and she suddenly realized that she couldn't help it, looking forward to the next excitement.

Sure enough, the days with Tang Shaoshuai must definitely not be less fun.

She no longer has to be as careful in her words and deeds as she is in the palace, and her heart is like a rotten wood.
