Chapter 8 Don't Come Unharmed, Princess Lanting
The day has finally come. The golden palace gate slowly opened, and the maids holding the cinnabar red palace lamp stood in two rows and walked side by side. Under the huge lion-headed curtain, Princess Lanling, dressed in a red wedding dress, smiled skillfully in the brocade embroidered with gold thread, and hundreds of people along the way shouted: "Princess Chitose." ”
The princess's mansion is bustling. The giant red candle is wrapped in gold paper, and the tears of the candle are as dazzling as coral in the deep sea. The flowers in the house are red and willow green, the bluestone winding paths, and even the pavilions and pavilions are all draped in red silk decorated with joy. Countless maids dressed in red satin were busy coming and going, and the horns of the inner prison were sounding. It is also suitable to sound, and the real mansion exudes a strong joyful atmosphere.
Liu Xu's face was full of satisfaction, the wedding robe mixed with gold threads, the silver crown and the bundle of hair, leaving no trace of looseness, it seemed that he was in good spirits, and from time to time he said something to the eldest brother in a yellow robe, and he was proud.
Ruyue looked at the green Yang beside her, Xu knew that it was not appropriate to wear white for the wedding, a green shirt, clothes and hair were flowing and elegant, not tied or tied, ebony black pupils, fair skin like eternal jade, shining under the light of the candlelight, there was a cold touch. Holding a sword in his hand, the gem of the hilt dotted his cold eyes with his steps.
"Fourth sister, why are you here?" Ruxing jumped to Ruxin's side, holding the pastry in one hand and a large handful of candy in the other, and behind her was the maid who followed her panting, "It's so lively today, so happy." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Ruyue to reply, and he got into the crowd like a fish in the water, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Ruyue glanced at the drunken and hazy King of Jin, and hurriedly instructed: "Cuizhu, go and follow your master." The maid received the order and hurried to follow.
"Xiaoyue," the prince ran over from afar, "Where is Yun'er?" Ruyue asked him, Yun'er was the concubine that the prince had always favored, but Queen Dugu had no choice but to dislike it, and the position of the crown princess had to remain vacant.
"Bring Mo to make the queen mother angry, not to mention that the children at home are naughty, and they need someone to take care of them." The prince looked at the expressionless Qingyang, and looked around at the lively crowd, the displeasure in his heart was finally diluted, if he was with Lanling, it would be excellent to drink a glass of his fourth sister's happy wine, and quipped, "I think Xiaoyue is very envious, the imperial brothers and sisters-in-law are as old as Xiaoyue, I don't know what someone thinks?" ”
Qing Yang's always indifferent face actually had a faint flush, and the prince's smile became even stronger: "Oh, didn't you just guess someone's mind?" Squeezing his eyes at Ruyue again, he completely lost the demeanor of the prince, "Then am I going to ask my father for a double happiness?" The three of them laughed, and no one paid attention to when the jade pendant that the prince had carried around his waist since he was a child was gone.
"I think the crown prince should set up the crown princess first, and then take care of the affairs between me and Xiaoyue."
"Mu Qingyang, you ??????" The imperial brother jumped up like a rabbit that had been stepped on by its tail, and was about to hit Qingyang, but Ruyue hurriedly stopped him, and in a hurry, he actually bumped into a eunuch who was serving wine, and the wine spilled all over his body.
"Minions deserve to die." The minion's body was also covered with wine, but he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, and he couldn't say a complete sentence: "What should be damned and not deserved, the happy day is not to be talked nonsense." Ruyue got up and helped him up, she rarely had a princess's stand in front of the minions, "It's an unintentional mistake, you go down." ”
He left with a thousand thanks, and Ruyue turned to her eldest brother and Qing Yang again; "I'll go change into clean day clothes and come back, you two wait here for me."
"I'll accompany you?" Qing Yang pulled her, he had a vague premonition of bad luck, for fear of seeing someone he didn't want to see, "This is not the palace, in case you ??????"
"Do you want to change your clothes and guard the door? Where is it so delicate? Ruyue didn't understand Qing Yang's concern at all, and pushed his hand away, "I'll go and go back quickly, I'm still in a hurry to eat and drink at the second sister's wedding banquet." "Call a maid and lead her to the second sister's boudoir to change clothes.
The wide avenue of the princess's mansion is covered with a red carpet, there are eunuchs who blow horns walking by, there are maids with snacks and wine behind, and a group of boys and girls scattering flowers are followed by a group of boys and girls who scatter flowers.
"Wanfu of the inlaid princess~" There was a maid beside her who saluted, she was happy to see it, and waved her hand again and again: "No courtesy, no courtesy." Then he stuffed the pastry in his hand into her hand, "It's delicious, my sister is very happy today, where is the difference between master and servant?" You eat too. ”
The maid was obviously overwhelmed by Ruxin, but after years of training, she quickly recovered her mood, she smiled, and raised the familiar jade pendant in her hand: "The prince is waiting for the princess at the broken bridge, saying that the princess is married, and Tubo came to congratulate, so he hid some strange things, but he was afraid that the child would see it, so he found a remote place and handed it to the princess." ”
As soon as she heard that there was something fun, Nina was quickly attracted to it, and she began to think in her heart that if she got it, she would have to have fun with the fourth sister for a few days. Her eyes lit up: "This palace knows that you need to go quickly, don't let my brother wait." With that, he lifted his skirt and ran towards the broken bridge, completely oblivious to the wicked smile on the corner of the maid's mouth.
Crossing the quiet path, the maid led Ruyue to a room, and only after holding the lamp did she speak: "This is the partial hall, my princess has never liked luxury, and the fourth princess does not dislike it." ”
"It was Ruyue who recklessly bumped into someone, not to mention her own sisters, why dislike it, you go and get busy, don't worry about me, don't delay the joy of the third sister."
The maid saluted, turned away, and the door creaked.
She casually removed the gorgeous sway on her head, and replaced her wet gold-threaded robe in a light purple gauze skirt. He also easily pulled three thousand satin-like green silk into a beauty bun, inserted a jasper silver hairpin, and replaced the earrings with tassel silver butterflies, and the white jade bracelet on the wrist lined the skin like snow.
The lights were bright in the distance, and there was a faint sound of cheers, which should be the prelude to the start of the wedding, and her heart became more and more anxious, and she crossed the stone bridge and hurriedly walked towards the crowd. There was a commotion in the grass, and suddenly a small fluffy thing rubbed against the edge of her skirt and slipped up the treetops, and in the distance came a woman, dressed in a bright red cardigan, wearing small yellow shoes decorated with bells, and a clear bell sounded as she ran.
She stood under the tree, raised her face, and coaxed softly: "Red dates, come down quickly, you will have something good to eat when you come down." ”
But the little thing didn't know what to do, and suddenly jumped onto another tree, she hurriedly chased it, but she stepped on the air and broke her foot, and her little face suddenly turned red with pain.
"You're fine, are you?" Ruyue hurriedly went up to support her, "Do you want to go to the imperial doctor now?" Xuan'er raised her head, slightly surprised in her eyes, such a look of red lips and white teeth, she had seen it a long time ago!
"I can't do it, I can't help it!" As soon as she heard that she was going to pass on the imperial doctor, she refused again and again as if she was frightened, "After passing the royal doctor, my father is going to scold me again." ”
"Father?" Ruyue was a little puzzled, "The girl is ??????"
"My father always told the children of the emperor's family to keep a low profile, but I was easily recognized by others." Her face was red, like a ripe apple, maybe she was born with a simple mind, and she would not please her father, which is why her father didn't like her, she slowly spoke, "I am the eldest daughter of King Jin?????? Kindness?????? Just call me Xuan'er??????."
"King Jin?" Ruyue was startled, and was about to say something, when she inadvertently glanced around, but unexpectedly saw Qing Yang, the difference was that at this time, he was wearing a blue satin robe that was a good tribute from Persia, with a belt embroidered with elegant patterns around his waist and a headband inlaid with blue gems on his head, a smile with an ambiguous atmosphere raised at the corner of his mouth, and a pair of narrow and bright eyes, clearly showing the image of a rich man. Li Shimin was in the frolicking crowd, and from time to time someone regarded him as Mu Qingyang, he did not refute or admit it, and showed his signature smile.
"Qingyang." Ruyue couldn't help blurting out, and her hand unconsciously loosened.
"Oops." Xuan'er exclaimed in surprise and fell to the ground, Ruyue hurriedly turned around to help her up, and when she stood up, the man in front of her was gone. It's like an illusion.
"How could it be ???????" Ruyue's doubts in her heart were even heavier. Her thoughts drifted to a cherry blossom forest, the good-looking young man who fought against the sky, he told him with a smile: In the second son of the Tang Dynasty, Shimin, his face turned red unconsciously.
"County Lord, County Lord?????? Where are you? With the crowd, Yuwen Chengdu found that the girl he liked was gone, he had never been so panicked, knowing that Xuan'er was innocent and had never seen the world, he hurriedly shouted.
"Chengdu, I'm here!" Xuan'er responded urgently.
Yuwen Chengdu hurriedly came, only Xuan'er was alone in his eyes, and went straight to Xuan'er; "What's going on?"
"My little squirrel ran away, I wanted to chase it, but I accidentally broke my foot, but it's okay to ?????" Xuan'er pulled Ruyue over and thanked her again and again, "Fortunately, this girl helped me??????"
Yuwen Chengdu glanced at Ruyue, his face was expressionless, and he turned to face Xuan'er again, with a gentle expression on his face: "The prince instructed that the county lord should not run around, and the county lord should go back with Chengdu." ”
"I know it." Xuan'er nodded sensibly, turned back to Ruyue and said, "Thank you girl for accompanying me just now, but unfortunately it's unfortunate that I'm in a hurry to leave, so I'll see you again,"
As he spoke, he followed the man, talking as he went; "We must find some people to get the dates back."
Looking at her distant back and mentioning the frightened expression of King Jin, Bacheng was an unfavored county lord, Ruyue walked to the crowd while thinking, and found some guards to tell them to find the red dates in her mouth, and repeatedly instructed: "I found the Chang County Lord of Jin and sent it to King Jin, and I don't need to mention the name of the palace." ”
After speaking, she was in a hurry to run to the main hall, but someone blocked the road from the middle, and Li Shimin, dressed as a playboy, blocked in front of her, smiling infinitely: "Don't come to harm, Princess Lanting." ”
The heart jumped a few beats for no reason, Ruyue only felt that her face was red and her ears were red, and a feeling that she had never felt before spread all over her body, Xu is smile was too good-looking, and Ruyue didn't know how to answer for a while.
"If the princess's Qingyang sees the princess's appearance, I'm afraid it will hurt her heart, how can his Xiaoyue be allowed to blush at others?" He was full of teasing.
Ruyue suddenly realized that it was not a dream, this person was real.
In the middle of the crime, Li Shimin actually bent his index finger into a hook as if the two of them had known each other for a long time, gently brushing her nose, she couldn't dodge, only felt a warm current spread all over her body, Li Shimin's eyes were also radiant, like bright stars in the sky, "A couple for a lifetime, half drunk, half awake and half floating." ”
His eyes were so good-looking, Ruyue only felt that she was going to sink in, until he disappeared from her eyes, she came back to her senses, her hands touched the tip of her nose, as if there was still the temperature of his fingertips, as if she had never been so happy in her life, she finally smiled.
Ruyue then looked for Qing Yang in the crowd, he was still green and cold, but there was no trace of her eldest brother around him.
"Where's the big brother?" She asked.
"A maid said that the fifth princess was in a hurry to see him, so he left with the maid."
"I'm afraid I'm happy on this big day, I'm afraid I've forgotten everything, where is the time to find my eldest brother?" Ruyue was even more puzzled, and when she saw Qingyang's jade-like face, she pretended to be mysterious and said, "I saw the man who was exactly the same as you just now, didn't Qingyang change his outfit to attract the little girl?" Or is there another brother somewhere? ”
Ruyue meant it was just a joke, but he grabbed her hand and was very nervous: "What did you say?" "It's the first time he's been so flustered, and he's finally here??????" Ah-" Ruyue screamed in pain, and he hurriedly let go, and his pink arm like a lotus root suddenly appeared and recorded a red mark.
"Does it hurt?" The concern in his eyes was also real, but his mood was more urgent to meet someone at this time.
"Why are you so excited?" Ruyue pursed her lips, "It's just like the appearance, when did Qing Yang have as ambiguous as he smiled." ”
"Is it really him?" There was a floating flicker in Qing Yang's eyes. After speaking, he left Ruyue and left alone. It looks like he's looking for someone.
Seeing this, Ruyue didn't even care about her third sister worshipping heaven and earth, so she pushed aside the crowd and drove in the direction he was walking.
Qing Yang walked as fast as if he didn't know it, and when he saw that he was out of the princess's mansion, he was about to leave on the horse.
"Where are you going?" Ruyue stood in front of him, "You are here to accompany the second princess, I have some things, and I will do it." He didn't look at Ruyue at all, and was in a hurry to leave.
"I can go with you." Ruyue is busy with "my sister's wedding, how can my sister be absent?" Qing Yang frowned habitually, which was a precursor to his anger.
"I see." Ruyue opened her hand lightly, with an astringent feeling in her heart, "It's related to your secret, it's inconvenient for me to participate, right?" ”
"Satsuki ???" He seemed to want to stop talking, he never knew about the wind and snow, he only knew that if it was for her, it would be right, and she was so careful, for fear of losing him, obviously felt that there was a gap in his heart that he couldn't cross, but he didn't dare to act rashly. But in the end, Mu Qing sighed: "I'm sorry." ”
"It's okay." Ruyue tried not to reveal her sadness, "Everyone should have their own secrets, you told me, this time Ruyue is not sensible." ”
After speaking, he turned his head and was about to leave, but was pulled by a pair of hands: "Give me some time, and I will tell you everything." ”
