In order to arrive in Chang'an on time, the team set off from the Mobei grassland a month before the wedding, Yeluyan had never been to the Central Plains, and she was very excited along the way, always asking her maid An Ran from time to time if she was about to arrive in Chang'an.
"It's almost over, we will soon be on the edge of the Yellow River, and when we cross the Yellow River, we will enter the hinterland of Wei, and we will enter the boundary of Chang'an in two or three days." An Ran replied with a smile and quipped: "The princess asks every day, does she want to marry the King of Qin of Wei as soon as possible?" ā
"you, I'm not ......" Ye Luyan's face turned red, and quickly retreated into the carriage, next to the carriage, Xiao Da looked at Ye Luyan who was fighting with the maid from a distance, and a faint look of loneliness flashed on his face, Ye Luyan walked next to him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Da!" ā
Xiao Da came back to his senses and said respectfully: "Great Prince! ā
Yeluyan looked in the direction of the carriage and sighed: "Actually, in the hearts of Father Khan and me, you are the most suitable candidate for Yan'er...... It's a pity that King Xiang has a dream, and the goddess has no heart.
Xiao Da's heart was bitter, he quickly cheered up, and replied firmly: "Since the princess has someone she likes, Xiao Da doesn't dare to force anything?" Thank you to the Great Khan for letting me accompany the princess as the captain of the princess's personal guard, please rest assured that the Great Khan and the prince will definitely protect the princess and prevent her from being bullied by the Wei people. ā
"Well, thank you!" After Yeluyan got married, she left her hometown to live in a foreign country, and with Xiao Da by her side, he and his father Khan could rest assured.
Three days later, the send-off team entered the territory of Chang'an, Xie Ronghua came to greet him with hundreds of civil and military officials, Ye Luyan secretly lifted a corner of the curtain, and carefully looked at the man who greeted his brother in the distance, he was as handsome and upright as he remembered, and his bearing was extraordinary, compared to when he was in Khitan, he seemed to have lost a lot of weight, thinking that in a few days, he would become his husband, her heart could not hide her excitement, she was too excited, and she did not notice the thick indifference in Xie Ronghua's eyes.
"Yan'er is in the carriage, I invite her to come down and greet His Highness?" Yeluyan proposed after a polite conversation with Xie Ronghua.
"No need, since the princess is going to marry into the Wei State, since she has to act according to the rules of the Wei State, the customs of the Wei State, a woman cannot meet her newlywed husband before she gets married." Xie Ronghua said lightly, stretched out his hand to invite Yeluyan: "The prince has come from afar, and my father has prepared a place for the prince and the Khitan warriors, and I invite the prince to enter Chang'an with this king." ā
As he spoke, he took the lead in striding away, although Yeluyan was a little dissatisfied in his heart, but it was not appropriate to attack outside, and he finally endured it.
Because of the need to welcome the Khitan envoy into Chang'an, the court closed the road, as soon as the group entered the city, you can see the wide Vermilion Bird Street and the festive red street, An Ran has never seen such a tall and magnificent capital, and praised: "This is Chang'an, no wonder the Central Plains people fight to the death, such a beautiful and majestic capital, I want to take it for myself!" ā
Ye Luyan opened the car window, looked out of the car with curiosity on her face, thinking that she would live in this beautiful capital in the future, she couldn't suppress the happiness in her heart, the red silk hung on both sides of Suzaku Street, she pulled An Ran, pointed to the red silk in the distance and said, "What are those?" ā
An Ran looked at it and said happily: "I know this, I have heard that when people in the Central Plains get married, they must hang red to show their joy, and the red on the street must be prepared for the wedding of the princess and the king of Qin." ā
"Really?" Yeluyan's face turned red when she heard her words, but she looked at the red all over the street more carefully, only to feel that they were so bright and dazzling, which made her whole person immersed in deep joy.
On the third day of the first month of June, the sun is shining, this day is the most suitable day for marriage selected by Qin Tianjian, Xie Yun arranged for the Khitan people to live in the post station in the south of the city, early in the morning, Xie Ronghua rode a high-headed horse, set off from the Qin Wangfu, and went south in a noisy and lively suona sound, he rode through the street full of red silk, and slowly went to the post station in the onlookers and blessings of the people of Chang'an on the street, the people rarely saw the prince marry a wife, Xie Yunen allowed them to watch this prosperous wedding, which was a great gift to them, Looking at the handsome prince riding by, the women of Chang'an City were full of jealousy and hatred for the Khitan princess who would marry far away, Xie Ronghua walked through the streets, and saw that he was not far from the post station, but he suddenly stopped, as soon as he stopped, everyone and the sound of music stopped, Zhang Xuance looked at him uneasily, and reminded in a low voice: "Your Highness!" The auspicious time is coming. "He can't afford to go wrong at this moment.
Xie Ronghua clutched the reins of the horse, his expression did not change, but there were faint blood stains spilling between his fingers, it seemed that it was just for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Keep walking!" ā
After saying that, the horse started slowly, and the hustle and bustle sounded again, Xie Ronghua looked into the distance, like a puppet and continued to walk according to the established route, just now, he saw Doctor Qi in the crowd, so many people, but he saw him at a glance, with a cold and disdainful look on his face, he smacked the ground, at that time, he was afraid, so he stopped, he was afraid that he would see her figure in the crowd, he would not help but throw off the shackles on his body and rush towards her, but unfortunately, there was no her in the crowd.
Yes, she has already left, left Chang'an, how can she come back, he arrived at the post station with a blank look, turned over and dismounted, and looked at the alien woman dressed in gorgeous wedding clothes and wearing a hippo on her head, this woman does not have the willfulness of a grassland woman, at least when Yeluyan wanted to use Khitan customs to marry, and he insisted on using the way of the Central Plains, she was on his side, but since she was gentle and polite, why, she wanted to destroy his happiness.
Xie Ronghua stepped forward step by step, slowly took her hand, his hand was cold, so cold that Ye Luyan shivered slightly, but endured it, she obediently stepped into the sedan chair under his guidance, and a large wave of people and horses slowly went to the Qin Wangfu in the bustling city!
After the long ceremony, Yeluyan waited quietly in the wide and bright cave room, she looked down at her fingertips, and couldn't believe that she was now his wife, the man she had in mind, and she could stand by his side in the future.
The crown was a little heavy, and Yeluyan wanted to take off the crown of the heipa and take it off, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, a maidservant girl shouted: "Princess, no, the newlywed Xipa must wait for the prince to open it." ā
An Ran frowned and said: "Why do you Central Plains people have so many rules, why hasn't the prince come yet, how long have my princesses been waiting." ā
The maid didn't know how to explain, Ye Luyan had already spoken up: "An Ran, it's okay, he must have been dragged in the front hall." "After all, when they got married, not only the people of Khitan and Wei, but also the rest of the Central Plains sent envoys to congratulate them.
I don't know how long she waited, but she only felt that she was about to fall asleep, and then a deep voice said in front of her, "You guys should retreat first!" ā
Yeluyan suddenly got up in spirit, looking at the toes close at hand, her heart was pounding, and when there were only the two of them left, she was nervously waiting for him to lift her hijab, thinking about what smile to face him so that he could always remember this moment, but she didn't wait for him to lift her hijab, only waited for his indifferent words: "Yeluyan, this king came here today to make one thing clear to you, marrying you is not the king's will, this king has a beloved woman in his heart, in the heart of this king, she is the only wife of this king, The name of Princess Qin can be given to you, but this king will not touch a single hair of your hair, and it is impossible to love you, how you want to live in the palace, this king will not care, this king's affairs, I also hope you don't care, if you feel wronged and sad, and want to go back to Khitan, this king can give you a letter of resignation at any time. ā
His words were straight into her heart like a sharp sword, her happiness collapsed in just one day, Ye Luyan's face was pale, she wanted to ask him, but Xie Ronghua had already opened the door and left the new house.
Yeluyan wanted to raise her hand and lift the hijab, but suddenly remembered the words of the maidservant, Xipa was going to be lifted by her husband himself, she sat quietly on the wedding bed, until the red candle burned out, until the sky turned white, Xie Ronghua never came back, she finally had to reach out by herself, lifted the Xipa on her head that had been covered all night, looked at the red in the room, and was stunned......
