Chapter 217: Luo Man's candle shook red
Because the wedding date is scheduled for August 16, there are only ten days left, although the wedding is handled by the Ministry of Rites, Lin Chen has to follow the Ministry of Rites every day to familiarize himself with the etiquette and details of the wedding. In addition, we also receive officials who come to congratulate you every day. On the fourth day of the eighth month, Lin Chen received a message from the eldest princess and moved to the Horse Mansion first. It's just that Princess Yinghui didn't say that she would let the Lin family live in the Horse Mansion together, and Lin Chen didn't dare to make any claims, so the Lin family still lived in the Wang Shilang Mansion. Fortunately, Lin Chen had to go to the Ministry of Rites every day, and he could just take the opportunity to go to Wang Shilang's mansion to ask his mother Lin for peace.
In the blink of an eye, it was August 15, and Wang Shilang and his wife, as well as the Lin family, had no intention of admiring the moon and drinking as in previous years, and they were all busy with Lin Chen's marriage the next day. On the contrary, Lin Chen was ruthless, and came to the back garden of Wang Shilang's mansion alone, staring at the full moon in the sky in a daze. My thoughts involuntarily returned to Xiao Yiran's cemetery on the southern slope outside the city of Yanshan Mansion.
"Sister Ran'er, the moon is so good tonight, has my sister seen it?"
Lin Chen muttered in his mouth, thinking of Xiao Yiran's lonely grave thousands of miles away in the bleak autumn wind, under the bleak moonlight, tears instantly flowed down his cheeks.
"Sister, why is this happening?"
Lin Xiao stayed alone in the back garden, until the Lin family sent someone to look for him, then he rubbed his red eyes and came to the Lin family's room.
"Chen'er, the past is over, tomorrow is the wedding day with the eldest princess, Chen'er still needs to cheer up."
"Mother, the child knows."
"It's not early, rest early, I'm afraid I'm going to have a busy day tomorrow."
"Mother, let's rest early."
Lin Chen returned to his room, although he blew out the light in the room, his eyes were wide open, and he didn't feel sleepy. Lin Chen, who had not slept all night, was called up by someone from the Ministry of Rites when the fish belly was white in the east, and he wanted to go to the palace to pick up the eldest princess's car at the pre-arranged hour.
The eldest princess's dowry is unimaginable for ordinary people like Lin Chen, but fortunately, Lin Chen doesn't care about this. Although he didn't sleep all night, Lin Chen still had to beat his spirits, followed the actor of the Ministry of Rites, and carried out the tedious etiquette step by step according to the wedding procedures.
At noon, Lin Chen was wearing a wedding dress and riding a tall horse to lead the way, and Princess Yinghui's car drove to the Horse Mansion, and the next ceremony was similar to that of an ordinary family. Worship heaven and earth, worship high hall, husband and wife worship each other, and send them into the cave room. It's just that when the husband and wife worship each other, it was Lin Chen who worshiped Princess Yinghui with the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, and then the husband and wife worshipped together.
When he first performed the ceremony, Lin Chen did not raise any objections to this, thinking in his heart that as long as his mother Lin was not allowed to meet Princess Yinghui as a monarch and minister, everything else would be easy to say.
After Princess Yinghui was sent into the cave room, Lin Chen had to receive many guests who came to congratulate and drink the wedding wine as usual. It was busy until the sun turned west, and the guests gradually dispersed. After continuous hard work, coupled with the fact that he hadn't slept all night, Lin Chen was already tired. When I came to the wedding room, there was also a period of etiquette. It was the performer and the bride sent by the palace to preside, and it took almost half an hour for Lin Chen to unveil the hijab on Princess Yinghui's head.
"The officials are tired, right?"
When only Lin Chen and Princess Yinghui were left in the room, the princess broke the silence and asked with concern.
"The princess has worked hard, too."
For Princess Yinghui to call herself an "official", Lin Chen was still satisfied. This is the standard name of an ordinary eunuch and a wife for her husband. For the beautiful, dignified and virtuous Princess Yinghui in front of him, Lin Chen was not without a good impression. In particular, when Xiao Yiran died, the princess secretly helped, allowing Lin Chen to go to Yanshan Mansion as an official for more than a year as he wished, and he was able to often go to Xiao Yiran's tomb to pay respects, for which Lin Chen was very grateful to Princess Yinghui. Originally, Lin Chen wanted to find an opportunity to thank the princess, but today is not suitable for mentioning Xiao Yiran's matter.
"The official has been in Yanshan Mansion for more than a year, are you doing well?"
Lin Chen didn't expect Princess Yinghui to take the initiative to mention this matter, and was stunned for a moment before replying:
"It's okay, thanks to the princess for helping me."
"Why should husband and wife be so polite to each other?"
After all, they are still young boys and girls, and they are newly married, and Princess Yinghui looked very shy when she said this. The flush that flew up his cheeks was even more delicate in the candlelight. When the bride and the maid went out, they had already untied the wide wedding clothes outside for the two, and now Princess Yinghui is just wearing a close-fitting red dress.
Although he has had more contact with Xiao Yiran, Lin Chen has never seen a girl when she is shy and timid. The shy appearance of Princess Yinghui in front of her couldn't help but make Lin Chen's heart pound. The two eyes looked fixedly at the jade figure in front of him, and his feet involuntarily leaned over.
Seeing Lin Chen walking in front of him, he could already smell the smell of Lin Chen's body in his snort, Princess Yinghui was even more shy, grabbing the corners of her clothes with her hands uneasily, her red face lowered deeply, looking at her toes.
"Princess."
"Official."
Hearing Lin Chen's soft call, Princess Yinghui replied like a mosquito.
When Lin Chen's hands were on her waist, Princess Yinghui instinctively trembled, as if she had no strength to stand, her body fell softly into Lin Chen's arms, her feverish face lay on Lin Chen's chest, and she didn't dare to raise it again. It's just that after a long time, she didn't feel the movement of Lin Chen hugging her anymore, and Princess Yinghui couldn't help but wonder in her heart.
At this time, Lin Chen was holding Princess Yinghui's soft and petite jade body in his arms, but his eyes were looking at the gorgeous curtain behind the princess, and he was imagining Princess Yinghui in his arms as his sister. If it weren't for Princess Yinghui's next low reminder of "official", Lin Chen almost blurted out the words "Sister Ran'er".
Lin Chen secretly screamed in his heart that he was lucky, he knew very well what the consequences would be if he blurted out "Sister Ran'er". Immediately collected his mood, hugged the princess's arms tightly, and said softly:
"Princess, the hour is not early, shall we rest in peace?"
Although I didn't hear the princess's answer, I clearly felt the slight movement of Princess Yinghui nodding in her chest. The princess was already sitting on the edge of the bed, Lin Chen exerted a slight force, and the two of them lay down on the bed, and with ease, Lin Chen put down the curtain.
The so-called ** tent is warm, it is turned over by the red waves, and the mandarin ducks are crossed, and it is logical, and the water is a matter of course.
Afterwards, Lin Chen hugged Princess Yinghui and fell asleep, until he was awakened by the sound of the maid opening the door in the morning, Lin Chen opened his eyes, and just saw the red candle outside the account.
