The day is finally coming. On the first day of the third month, the people of the whole city rejoiced, because today, it was a grand event of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, and the crown prince finally got married.

The sky was still dark, and Chu Xiangwan was already sitting in front of the bronze mirror. Qian'er stood silently behind Chu Xiangwan and groomed her. Miss came back these days, talk very little, and don't like to laugh, I used to like to pass the time with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but now I just sit in the room every day and am depressed, she doesn't dare to talk much, maybe Miss is sad because she can't see the master in the palace.

Chu Xiangwan looked at himself in the bronze mirror and suddenly felt so strange. It's been a long time since I've looked in the mirror, but I didn't expect to be so haggard. She has been very depressed since she came back, and sometimes, she can hear the sighs of her father and Qian'er behind her, but she doesn't want to be sober, she wants to think about Huangfu Jingyao quietly in the last days, unscrupulously, without disguise, because, from the first day of the third month, her eyes can only be on the prince's body. Huangfu Jingyao is just her uncle.

It seems that there have been some changes in appearance, the original goose egg face has become a melon seed face, the cheeks are thin, and a pair of Jianshui autumn pupils are bigger and more noticeable.

After Qian'er's skillful hands, Chu Xiangwan's complexion has improved a lot, her complexion is ruddy, her skin is fair, her eyes are so moving, and she completely sweeps away the decadence of the past, no matter who sees it, she will feel that she is a bride who longs for a happy life. After putting on the phoenix crown and the xiaxia veil, the welcoming grandmother in the palace knocked on the door and came in.

"The crown princess is really gorgeous, our prince will be very happy to see it." Mama kept saying some auspicious words, but Chu Xiangwan didn't listen to a word, just lowered his head.

Mama thought that Chu Xiangwan was shy, so she quickly took the Xipa, and said, "It's about to be auspicious, please ask the princess to cover the Xipa, we have to leave." ”

Chu Xiangwan was very obedient, and when she walked to the door, she heard someone say, "Weichen respectfully sends the crown princess." ”

It was Daddy's voice, and Chu Xiangwan suddenly lifted off Xipa. Mama immediately shouted: "Ouch, princess, this is not in accordance with the rules and is not auspicious, you quickly cover the Xipa." ”

Chu Xiangwan ignored Mama, she pulled Chu Huaifeng's arm and wanted to help him up, but Chu Huaifeng let go. He said to Chu Xiangwan: "Crown princess, this is a gift from the monarch and ministers. From now on, when Weichen sees the crown princess, he must bow down. ”

When Chu Huaifeng finished saluting, Chu Xiangwan immediately helped him up. She said to Chu Huaifeng: "Daddy, you must take care of your body, your daughter will pray for her father in the palace." At this point, she choked up.

Chu Huaifeng looked at Chu Xiangwan lovingly: "Child, take care of yourself, everything has a father." He patted Chu Xiangwan's shoulder, wanting to reassure his daughter.

The welcoming grandmother stepped forward and said to Chu Huaifeng: "Xiangye, it's not early, and if you delay it any longer, you will really miss the auspicious time." ”

Chu Huaifeng let go of Chu Xiangwan's hand, turned back to Yingqin and said, "This official knows, you guys should go on the road." ”

Xipa put it on Chu Xiangwan's head again, and she was like a marionette being pulled all the way up the sedan chair by her grandmother. Gongs and drums began to beat outside, and the people cheered enthusiastically on the roads on both sides, Chu Xiangwan thought to himself: He, will he appear at the wedding tonight?

The welcoming procession entered the Forbidden City. Chu Xiangwan was taken by his grandmother and came to the main hall of the East Palace to salute. The emperor and empress were already sitting on top of the high hall at this time, and the crown prince stood at the door of the main hall, watching the welcoming grandmother finally enter his sight with Chu Xiangwan, and a gentle smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

The queen caught a glimpse of her son's expression, and her face sank. She once said to Jingwen: "Don't be emotional about Chu Xiangwan, she is just a pawn of the Hanmen forces in Chu Huaifeng's hands." ”

Huangfu Jingwen replied to her at the time: "Queen Mother, my son understands." ”

But looking at this son's current appearance, it seems that he is tempted by Chu Xiangwan, this is absolutely not allowed, she will never let her son be led by Fang Ruyan's daughter.

When Mama handed the other end of the red silk into Huangfu Jingwen's hands, Chu Xiangwan's hand tightened, and she had never thought of this person since she said goodbye to Huangfu Jingwen last time. She originally thought that this was just a purely political marriage, so that the prince should not embarrass her if they lived peacefully with each other in the future, but since the last time she met the prince and said that, she didn't know how to deal with herself in the future.

When Huangfu Jingwen grabbed the red silk, he whispered "Xiang Wan", and finally saw the person he longed for again, he was very happy, and he secretly swore that he would take care of this woman for the rest of his life.

According to the rules, one worships heaven and earth, two worships the high hall, husband and wife worship each other, step by step, two people with their own thoughts, just like this, simply completed the white-headed covenant. Chu Xiangwan felt ironic, whether she or the prince, they were just pawns in this power transaction, but the prince gave his heart in this transaction, what about her? What did you pay for? Is it her, these hands, or is it the eternal and eternal blind date?

When the worship service was finally over, Mama helped her to the new house, where she could not see anything, and was left on the bed and sat until late at night. After everyone withdrew, Chu Xiangwan ripped off the headscarf, only Qian'er was in the room, she didn't have to scruples, she just wanted to breathe.

"Miss, would you like to eat something? The prince is now feasting with the guests outside, and it is estimated that it will be a long time before he returns to the room. Qian'er felt sorry that Miss hadn't eaten for a day, so she persuaded Wen Yan.

"No need, I just want to be alone and quiet, Qian'er, this day, you are also very tired, wait for the prince to return to the room, you can come in and serve." Chu Xiangwan was very confused, she didn't know how she should spend tonight, although she was married to the prince, she didn't want to ······ There are some things that I know in my heart, but I still can't do it.

Qian'er retreated and stood guard outside the door, she felt that the young lady's mood was very bad, and it was better not to leave.

There was a sudden commotion outside, Qian'er knocked on the door and walked in, she said to Chu Xiangwan, "Miss, the prince and several princes have come over here." ”

As soon as Chu Xiangwan heard the word "prince", instinctively, Huangfu Jingyao jumped out of his mind. She said, "Quick, help me put the hippa on." She was so nervous that she didn't know what was going to happen later.

"Brother Prince, what cave house are you in a hurry to go back to? It's rare for our brothers to get together, even the fourth brother is back, and you won't accompany us to have a few more drinks? Someone laughed outside the house, which prince should it be.

"Sixth brother, I drank too much wine today, I really can't drink anymore, another day, I will definitely accompany you to drink three more glasses." Huangfu Jingyao's voice was a little unstable, and he continued, "Fourth brother, what do you say? ”

Chu Xiangwan's heart was pinched, Huangfu Jingyao really came, and it seemed that his body was fine. He must not like this kind of banquet, with his relationship with the prince, I am afraid that it will be hindered by the etiquette system when he comes today. Is he still thinking of me? Maybe hate. Chu Xiangwan's eyes were moist, in his heart, he was just a ruthless woman, not worth mentioning at all.

"But according to the prince's orders, the ministers and younger brothers will definitely accompany them when the time comes." Huangfu Jingyao's voice was very cold, which made Chu Xiangwan feel cold. It's only been a few days, and Huangfu Jingyao seems to have become another person, he was just domineering and majestic before, but now, listening to the voice, he is already indifferent and ruthless.

"Brother Prince, how is Zuo Xiang's daughter born? Is it a sinking fish and a goose? Why don't you lift your hijab and let our brothers take a look. Brothers, give you a hole in the house. The previous voice sounded again, this is the current King of Law - the Sixth Emperor Emperor Fu Jingbian. The other brothers also joined in the commotion, and they all came in to make trouble in the cave room.

Chu Xiangwan didn't dare to imagine how Huangfu Jingyao would feel if the hijab was lifted and Huangfu Jingyao saw that the former "Fang Wan" had become the current crown princess? All of a sudden, even my breath froze.

The prince approached Chu Xiangwan and said to her gently: "Xiangwan, if you don't mind, I'll pick a hijab." ”

Chu Xiangwan was very anxious, she wanted to refuse, but she didn't dare to speak, for fear that her voice would be heard by Huangfu Jingyao, and then it would really cause a big incident. She grabbed Huangfu Jingwen's cuffs tightly, trying to signal him not to do this. Huangfu Jingwen thought that Chu Xiangwan was shy, so he gently shook her hand.

Just when Huangfu Jingwen was about to pick up the hijab, Huangfu Jingyao spoke: "Prince, my brother has to go back tonight to deal with some military affairs at the border gates, so I won't stay here longer." ”

These brothers have disliked him since he was a child, and he was not on good terms with him, and now seeing that he holds military power and pretends to be close to him, Huangfu Jingyao does not disdain this kind of political marriage at all, originally he still admired Zuo Xiang's integrity, who knew that he was also a courtier who clinged to the powerful, and he was really not in the mood to accompany these people anymore.

"Okay, the fourth brother has a good journey, let's get back together another day." Huangfu Jingwen's spirit at this time was focused on Chu Xiangwan's body, and there was no retention for Huangfu Jingyao's departure.

He's finally gone. Chu Xiangwan exhaled and found that his palms were full of sweat. At the same moment, her hijab was lifted off by Huangfu Jingwen.

The surroundings suddenly quieted down, and Huangfu Jingwen's eyes widened, he didn't expect that Chu Xiangwan was so bright and shining in a red wedding dress today, and she lowered her head, like a red lotus in the water that was about to bloom, making people unable to take their eyes off.

"Brother Crown Prince is so blessed, the Crown Princess is really beautiful. Zuo Xiang's daughter has been raised in the deep boudoir, but she didn't expect it to be so beautiful, and the younger brother congratulated the prince again. It's a pity that the fourth brother left too early and didn't see our sister-in-law. Huangfu praised with a smile.

Chu Xiangwan intuitively didn't like this law king, this person's eyes were full of calculation, and he always felt that he was staring at himself a little unscrupulous. Although several princes are dignified, to be honest, Huangfu Jingyao is the most manly, unlike this Huangfu Jingbian, although he is also handsome, but his eyes just make people feel that this person is not open-minded.

Also present were King Jiang - the eldest prince Huangfu Jingwei, King Min - the seventh prince Huangfu Jingxin, and some close royal princes, all of whom greeted Chu Xiang in the evening.

"Okay, I'll see you, you brothers can go back. I'm too tired today, and I'll definitely invite you to the East Palace another day. Huangfu Jingwen began to send the crowd away.

When everyone saw the prince speak, it was inconvenient to stay and coax any longer, so they said goodbye to the prince and left. When Huangfu Jing left, he said to Huangfu Jingwen: "** Bitter and short, don't bother the prince's brother, the younger brother will leave." ”

"Stand down, too." After all the guests left, Huangfu Jingwen asked his subordinates to retreat.

There were only two of them left in the room. Embarrassed, Chu Xiangwan lowered his head, the moment he didn't want to face was finally here.

Huangfu Jingwen sat down on the edge of the bed and took Chu Xiangwan's hand, he reached out and lifted Chu Xiangwan's chin so that she could be at eye level with him. "Xiang Wan, you are finally mine." Huangfu Jingwen's eyes were blurred and affectionate.

Chu Xiangwan opened her head sideways, she had seen such affectionate eyes, but it belonged to another man, the difference was that she had also reciprocated the same affection as that man at that time.

"Prince, you're drunk."

"No, it's the wine that doesn't get drunk, and everyone gets drunk." Huangfu Jingwen continued, "When I saw you before, you were dressed very plainly, although it was beautiful, it made people feel unreachable. Now, sitting next to me in your red wedding dress, I feel that you have really become my wife. ”

"The prince is too late."

"······ to the Evening" Huangfu Jingwen stroked Chu Xiangwan's cheek, and the faces of the two people got closer and closer.

The lips of the two people were about to touch together, Chu Xiangwan couldn't help but didn't dodge, but the tears couldn't stop flowing down his cheeks and flowed into the palm of Huangfu Jingwen's hand, and he suddenly stopped moving.

Huangfu Jingwen looked at Chu Xiangwan, and when he saw her closing her eyes tightly and tears were not stopping, he said to Chu Xiangwan: "Xiangwan, look at me." While speaking, he also helped Chu Xiangwan wipe away the tears on his cheeks.

Chu Xiangwan opened her eyes, and when she saw Huangfu Jingwen staring gently, she opened her mouth to explain: "Please forgive the prince, I ······"

Huangfu Jingwen waved his hand and said to her, "No need to explain, I understand, you just haven't accepted me yet." ”

"Prince, please give Xiang Wan some time." Chu Xiangwan knew that Huangfu Jingwen had always been gentle and elegant, and after several contacts, she knew that Huangfu Jingwen's feelings were sincere, so as long as she was moved with affection, Huangfu Jingwen would not force her.

"Okay, I can wait, when you really fall in love with me, we'll ······ again But, to the end, I hope this day won't be too long. Huangfu Jingwen hugged Chu Xiangwan into his arms.

"Thank you for your understanding, Prince, and for trying to be a good wife to the party." The emperor respects Wengui as the crown prince, and can tolerate and accommodate a woman to this extent, Chu Xiangwan said that it was fake to be unmoved. However, loving someone is not something that can be erased by erasing it, Chu Xiangwan doesn't know how long it will take to close his feelings for Huangfu Jingyao. Now, she can only play a loving couple with the prince on the surface.
