Outside the palace, Yun Shu received a letter from the prince, saying that Princess Xiyue seemed to let down her guard, but in fact, Dongfang Xu's methods to curry favor with Xiyue were also taught by Yun Shu.

Although it was only to tell him some of the woman's mentality, and let him express the occasional compliment, when he showed appreciation, Xiyue would definitely be fascinated by it. It's just that what Yun Shu didn't know was that the gift was picked by Dongfang Xu according to Yun Shu's preferences.

The letter also said that not long ago, Princess Xiyue came to the East Palace in person and drank and admired the moon together, and the coquettishness between Xiyue's words was exactly the same as what Yun Shu said.

Yun Shu looked at the letter and smiled slightly, very good, it seems that the prince has mastered the trick. In this way, Xiyue will definitely let down her vigilance, and the next thing will be easy to do.

Immediately, Yun Shu wrote a reply and asked him to pay more attention on the wedding day, because as far as she knew about Xiao Yichen, on the wedding day, he would definitely send someone to monitor and find out.

Therefore, the prince can't wear a gang and show his love, he must show his love for Xiyue, and he must not let him find the slightest flaw.

……

In the blink of an eye, that festive day has quietly arrived.

On the day of the wedding, the long sky was cloudless, and the golden morning light passed through the mottled leaves, sprinkling layers of brilliant colors.

Occasionally, birds fly all over the sky, spreading the joy of the whole country to the sky.

In Kyoto, every house is decorated with lights, and even the small stalls along the street are hung with bright red silk ropes, which is full of festive meaning.

In the streets and alleys, children are all wearing red clothes, happily chasing, frolicking, as if welcoming the New Year.

And in a restaurant on the corner of the street, many people sat around and discussed.

The people sitting in the center suddenly raised their glasses, "Come, let's pay tribute to the prince together, this time the prince married the princess of Yi Kingdom, the two countries will definitely have friendly relations in the future, and our Chen Kingdom will become more and more rich and powerful." ”

Everyone raised their glasses and suddenly shouted.

At this time, another person said, "I heard that the princess of this Yi country is as beautiful as a fairy, I really don't know if it's true or not." ”

"Alas...... You don't understand this, our prince is handsome and beautiful, if they send an ugly woman over from Yiguo, wouldn't it be a loss of face for them? ”

"Yes, yes! What this benevolent brother said is very much, I think that my Chen country is an outstanding person, if this Yi country is not jealous, how can he send the princess over and kiss? ”

With that, the people laughed and drank heartily.

As the people of Chenguo, they are all happy and excited about their country!

At this time, in the palace, the original golden palace is now even more shining, the palace wall, the promenade, the pavilions, everywhere are hung with festive red, even the flowers in the imperial garden, have been replaced by a piece of fiery red peony.

And in that red, the palace people were busy walking through, not daring to slack off at all, and everyone's faces were nervous and cautious at this time.

In the palace, the ceremonial officer was dressing Dongfang Xu.

He stretched his handsome figure, and stood there quietly, his appearance was impeccably handsome, his long hair was tied up high, and he was decorated with the same festive red, which had already shown his noble gem, but his expression at this time was still faint, without the slightest wave.

The long eyelashes covered most of his eyes, making it impossible to peek into their deep meaning, except for the occasional walking steps, faintly revealing a trace of impatience.

After a while, the cumbersome dress on the upper body suddenly showed his majestic and royal style, but he didn't say a word at the moment, with a depressing aura that made people retreat.

The ceremonial officer hung his head, checked it over and over again, and finally saluted respectfully, "Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness!" ”

Dongfang Xu responded lightly and waved his hand to signal him to step back.

Looking around, the red color that caught his eyes actually made him feel a little ridiculous.

He has imagined such a big wedding countless times, but to this day, he still has the intention of running away.

But that kind of affection only flashed in his heart, because at this moment, he remembered more about Yun Shu and every word Yun Shu had said to him.

He looked into the distance, giving himself a moment of peace of mind.

He is the prince of a country, his whole life has to think about the people of Chenguo, in his heart, he can't just pretend to be a child's private feelings, he has to have the world in his heart, and he wants to let the beautiful woman see his ambitions.

And......

He would let her know that he would never let her leave his side when this qiē was stable.

For the first time, Dongfang Xu felt that he was even more powerless than he imagined. Forced by the current form, if he was strong enough, he would not have fallen into the current situation.

He regretted that he had not concentrated on politics at the beginning, and he was still a little complacent in his heart when the two countries were compared to horses, thinking that the dignified country was not enough, but now, he realized his weakness.

Yes, weak.

Looking at the golden splendor wrapped in red silk in front of him, he held the hand in his sleeve tightly.

Today, he will hold the princess of the enemy country, step on the altar of the kingdom of Chen, and worship heaven and earth.

Is there anything more ridiculous than this? Dongfang Xu already has a kind of unwillingness to make people swords, and I am unwilling to be fish and meat.

However, he told himself that he must remember today's shame, and only for this day, he must strengthen himself and let Emperor Yi know that Chen Guo is not a toy in his hands.

"Your Highness, the auspicious time has arrived."

The voice of the eldest duke came from outside, and everyone in the palace knew that the prince was in a bad mood today, but no one dared to ask a word more.

The palace door slowly opened, and the man in the golden dragon and red robe appeared with a different heavy aura, and the grand duke immediately lowered his head.

"It's auspicious, let's go." This voice actually made the Grand Duke feel a little heavy.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has grown up, how can he not see what he thinks in his heart. It is rumored that His Royal Highness has an unusual relationship with the county lord of Yongji, but the grand duke knows that His Royal Highness really cares about the county lord of Yongji.

Before, he overheard the conversation between His Royal Highness and the Queen Mother, but today, His Royal Highness is going to marry the princess of Nayi Kingdom, which shows how sad His Royal Highness is in his heart.

Thinking of this, the Grand Duke sighed secretly, this is helpless.

The majestic drums sounded, the white marble steps were covered with a festive red carpet, the red and pink petals fell from the sky, and the man stood on the high platform, the red wedding robe looked particularly dazzling in the sun.

On the highest platform, Emperor Chen and the Empress stood side by side, looking down at the prince who was looking at the carved stone gate below, with the usual smile on their faces, but the smile did not reach the bottom of their eyes, and no one could see what they were thinking.

Outside the palace, the earth-shattering sound of firecrackers seemed to shake the entire capital, and the air was filled with a strong smell of sulfur, and the green smoke was misty, accompanied by the red silk flying in the wind.

The white heavy stone gate is carved with a lifelike flying dragon, and this is the altar of the kingdom of Chen, where only the true dragon emperor marries the concubine.

A loud horn sounded, and dozens of soldiers wearing red belts shouted one after another, slowly pushing the stone door open.

Then, the enchanting figure stood there, behind which were sixty pink-clothed palace maids lined up in two rows, holding flower baskets in their hands, waving their sleeves, and the petals falling in the wind, blurring everyone's sight.

In the rear, hundreds of civil and military officials knelt on the left and right, and the scene was very spectacular.

Dongfang Xu smiled lightly, however, there was a cold light flowing in his eyes. The oncoming woman in the distance was his crown princess, but not the crown princess in his heart.

The transparent and hazy tulle covered Princess Xiyue's charming and delicate makeup, the corners of her lotus-like mouth were slightly raised, everyone's eyes seemed to be focused on her, and the feeling of being in the spotlight was exciting, and in front, the handsome man was looking at him.

For a while, Princess Xiyue forgot her mission, she only knew that this was her concubine ceremony.

Emperor Chen and the queen looked at the couple who were gradually getting closer, and the memories drifted to twenty years ago, when they were also very worried, there were many helplessness in the emperor's house, but the queen felt that once she shouldered the responsibility of the mother of a country, there were things that must be completed, even if there were three thousand beauties in the harem, even if she couldn't prevent it, she had to maintain the prestige of the mother of the country.

And the crown prince, you must remember your identity, the blood of the true dragon of the royal family can never be erased, and the entire country and society are on his shoulders.

"Your Highness, Your Highness."

The Grand Duke under the steps saw that Dongfang Xu was looking ahead in a trance, and he didn't have the slightest intention of coming down, so he couldn't help but remind him out loud.

Dongfang Xu came back to his senses at this time, he blinked slightly, lifted the hem of his clothes and walked off the high platform, and slowly approached the red-clothed concubine.

In an instant, a gust of wind rolled up, lifted the red veil on Xiyue's head, revealing that exquisite makeup, at this second, Dongfang Xu actually had an illusion, as if the person standing in front of him was the person in his heart.

Elegant as an orchid, noble as a fairy.

And in the blink of an eye, a qiē returned to reality. The face with heavy makeup, with a mundane grace, and the phoenix eyes flowed with a woman's shy smile.

Dongfang Xu's hand was a little stiff, but he finally approached and raised it.

The white and slender fingers appeared under his red veil, and Princess Xiyue smiled slightly, and gently put her jade hand into his palm.

The warm palm carefully wrapped her, and Princess Xiyue's heart couldn't help jumping.

At this moment, she suddenly realized that the man next to her was about to become her husband.

He's extraordinarily handsome, he's talented, and he's noble.

Isn't it too perfect to collect the dreams of all women in the world? Something seemed to flash through her mind, and when Xiyue came back to her senses, she was already standing on the high platform.

As far as the eye can see, the splendid palace is in full view, and the brigade of civil and military officials is respectfully prostrate at their feet. The breeze was blowing, and she had a feeling as if she was about to fly away through the clouds.

Looking down at Yiqiē in front of her, her chest suddenly opened, and she never thought that it would be like this to stand on a high place.

This feeling of trampling everything under your feet.

However, as soon as the picture in front of her turned, she seemed to see the strong iron hoof breaking through the palace gate, trampling on this magnificence, the fire and the sound of killing in the sky were everywhere, and the one she owned turned into ruins in the blink of an eye! And the phoenix crown on her head fell, and her husband, the king of a country, was trampled under the feet of others!

"No ......"
