Chapter 1: The Great Wedding
In June of the twenty-third year of Tianxu, Han Yuqian, the fourth son of the emperor, got married and married Lin Wanqi, the daughter of Lin Taiwei, as a concubine.
The royal wedding was very magnificent, and the mighty welcoming procession occupied the entire street, attracting the common people to stop and watch.
The joyful trumpets, crackling firecrackers, the jubilant matchmaker, a red sedan chair, and a qiē all look so joyful and festive, even the clouds in the sky are dyed a little red, bewitching and beautiful.
However, it is surprising that there is no groom in this wedding procession, which really makes people speculate and talk a lot.
Lifting the sedan curtain, Wanqi looked at the welcoming procession, the crowd on the street, and the cuckoos crying in the trees, and suddenly had a sense of desolation.
Should they be happy for me, or should they be pathetic for me?
I'm not a bride's bride.
The team moved slowly, the warm wind blew, and even the summer day was a slight chill.
And the "Wanqi" in the sedan car
But he was even more uneasy, his hands trembled slightly, his heart was pounding, and his face was even hotter and redder.
Is it coming soon?
Is it that after passing through that gate, Lin Peirong will disappear forever, using "Wanqi"
To live in the name of abandoning her original name and identity, to bear her name, to bear her faults with her face, and to serve her husband?
Is this the difference between the concubines?
A line of tears fell silently.
Thinking about it, I arrived at the door of the Four Princes' Mansion.
"Miss"
It was the matchmaker's voice, "It's time to get off the sedan chair, wait for the brazier, you are the person from the Four Princes' Mansion." ”
Wanqi cautiously got out of the sedan chair and let the matchmaker help her across the brazier, but the accident still happened.
When Wanqi stepped across the brazier, she tripped over her foot, although Wanqi stopped her foot in time and did not fall, but her skull was blown off by the wind, revealing her beautiful face.
Wearing a phoenix crown, thousands of strands of green silk are combed into a simple bun, willow-like thin eyebrows are slightly frowned, a pair of apricot eyes seem to be crying but not crying, looking forward to charming, the skin like snow may be because of the shyness revealing a little crimson, and the delicate red lips make people can't help but want to kiss Fangze.
Everyone looked a little stupid, and secretly sighed that the prince didn't want such a beauty, it was really a tyrannical thing.
And the matchmaker was the first to react, sighing secretly, this has not entered the cave room how to fall off the hijab, it is a little unlucky, reach out to pick it up first, but unexpectedly the hijab was blown by the wind again, blown into the brazier, and burned.
And the gears of fate have quietly turned, irretrievable.
============================================================================================= time passed little by little in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, and the bride sat quietly on the bed, but the groom never came in.
Since early in the morning, she has not yet taken a drop of grain into her abdomen, and her stomach has begun to drum.
But she still sat calmly on the edge of the bed, not moving for half a minute, although at this moment she wanted to take off the red hijab, and wanted to take off the heavy phoenix crown, but she did not move.
The red candle gradually burned, and the whole room took on an eerie red color, which made people feel uneasy.
Getting married is really a tiring thing, Wanqi thought.
At that moment, the door was suddenly kicked open.
Is he coming?
Wanqi's heart pounded nervously.
Then heavy footsteps approached her.
Han Yuqian picked up the red hijab that picked up the bride, and then sent his subordinates away, leaving only the bride and groom in the room.
"Look up."
An emotionless voice sounded above Wanqi's head.
Wanqi slowly raised her head, and followed the candlelight to see Han Yuqian clearly.
Dressed in a red wedding robe, only a hosta is tied with green silk like satin, the eyebrows are cold as frost, the deep eyes reveal a coldness and a trace of disdain, and the soft neckline is slightly open, revealing white porcelain-like skin.
He was only a few steps away from her, noble and indifferent, timid, but also secretly admired.
Wanqi was a little stupid when she saw it, and blushed slightly.
Han Yuqian frowned slightly, it's not the first time I've seen it, why is this expression?
"Lin Wanqi,"
Han Yuqian took a few steps forward, lowered his body and leaned over to shout in her ear, "Didn't this king tell you to escape from the city and avoid this marriage?" Are you a deaf ear to the words of this king? ”
Wanqi's body stiffened slightly, and she pursed her lips, as if she was thinking about something.
Half a ring, Cai said righteously, "Lord, since this marriage is given by the emperor, how can the concubine escape from the marriage?" Isn't this a sin of disobedience and disobedience? ”
His eyes looked directly at Han Yuqian, although there was a hint of horror, but he did not waver.
Han Yuqian was slightly stunned, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
"Okay, you also know etiquette."
Han Yuqian suddenly laughed, then pinched Wanqi's neck, gritted his teeth and said, "If you really knew etiquette, you wouldn't have done that kind of thing in the first place. ”
"I don't know what the prince said, and the concubines don't know."
Wanqi argued.
"I don't know."
Han Yuqian narrowed his eyes slightly, and the strength of pinching his neck became heavier and heavier, as if he wanted to pinch Wanqi's neck.
cough cough Wanqi coughed violently, so painful that tears were about to flow out, but she refused to open her mouth to beg for mercy.
And her breathing gradually weakened, as if she was about to pass out of breath.
Han Yuqian let go of Wanqi's hand, slapped her hard, and walked away.
But Lin Wanqi was choked with tears like rain when Han Yuqian went out.
Maybe I'm so humble by nature that I have to use her face to atone for her guilt even when I get married.
But did he really watch the emperor blame the Lin family?
Do they ignore it?
Maybe his disgust is also a good thing, and when he finds the real Wanqi, I, an impostor, will be able to retire, right?
