Chapter 264: Fall
A dreamless night......
Xu was tired, Ruoan hadn't slept so well for a long time, and when she woke up, the sun just shone into the room through the window, and the warmth was shining on herself.
She raised her hand to block the soft light, remembering last night's obsession, she couldn't help but chuckle, she stretched, and when she turned around to hug Leng Chen, she found that the bed was empty......
The sleepiness suddenly dissipated, and he reached out to the futon to probe it, and he couldn't help but feel lost.
A slightly cool touch came from between his fingers, indicating that Leng Chen had been gone for a long time......
Ruoan lay back on the bed heavily, staring at the gauze tent on the top of the bed in a daze.
There are only three days left before Leng Chen marries Shan Yuning......
In the remaining three days, Ruo'an lived almost like a year, and what made her even more anxious was that Leng Chen did not come back for the night in these three days.
But when it was night, the father-in-law of Yanlu would come to report that the prince had been left in the palace for the night because of state affairs, so that Ruoan did not have to wait for him and rested earlier.
Although Ruo'an didn't say it, a clear-eyed person could see at a glance that Mrs. was depressed all day long, and she must be thinking about the prince, but no one dared to mention it in front of Ruo'an, after all, the wedding was approaching, and no one wanted to touch Ruo'an's moldy head at this time, even Ziyan was only worried in vain.
I never thought that three days would be so long, and Ruoan finally waited for Leng Chen on the last night before the wedding.
Although Father-in-law Yanlu had told him that the prince would come back very late, Ruo'an still sat in the room and waited for Leng Chen, and finally, let her wait for Leng Chen with a tired face.
Leng Chen was a little surprised when he saw that Ruo'an hadn't slept yet, and asked softly, "Didn't you say that you were allowed to rest earlier?" ”
Ruoan shook his head, stretched out his hand to remove Leng Chen's coat and said, "I can't sleep......"
Leng Chen held her hand with pity: "I'm sorry." I haven't been able to accompany you well these days......"
"I'm fine, but the prince should take care of his health......"
Leng Chen sighed: "Recently, the activities of the Voodoo Cult have been rampant, a batch of official food has been robbed, and there have been many casualties among soldiers, and the imperial court has attached great importance to it, so I have been busy with this matter for the past few days......"
"Are you staring at Shan Lin?" Joan asked.
"Naturally, there is, but Shan Lin is very cunning, and he has not shown a trace of horses' feet, and he has hardly left the post station in the past few days, except for ......" Leng Chen. Stopped.
"Except for what ......"
"Except for going into the palace to visit Shan Yanran and Princess Yuning......"
"Well, that's as it should be, you're going to marry her tomorrow......" Ruo'an responded lightly, trying to keep herself calm, so many days. It should be acceptable to the reality, but every time it mentions the second day of the wedding. Joan's heart was always as uncomfortable as if he was being tugged at.
Leng Chen hugged Ruo'an's waist and whispered, "It's past tomorrow." It's all right......"
"Hmm......" Ruoan leaned on Leng Chen's shoulder, hugged him tightly, cherishing this last time alone with him.
There was no word all night, Leng Chen just hugged Ruo'an so tightly.
Ruoan, on the other hand, stayed awake all night, keeping his eyes open until dawn.
Leng Chen got up softly, and Father-in-law Yanlu was already waiting aside. After waiting for Leng Chen to get dressed, he pushed open the door, prepared his wheelchair, and prepared to go out.
Leng Chen was just about to sit down. But he stopped again, he walked back to the bed softly, leaned over, kissed Joan lightly on the forehead, reluctantly caressed her face, wanted to say something but held back.
Father-in-law Yanlu lowered his voice and urged, "Lord Wang...... The hour is getting late...... It's time to go......"
Leng Chen got up at this time, sat back in his wheelchair and whispered, "Let's go......"
Yanlu's father-in-law pushed the wheelchair and babbled out the door.
Ruo'an's tears burst the embankment at the moment when the door was lightly slammed shut, and she covered her mouth with the quilt to prevent herself from making a sound.
The footsteps faded away...... Leng Chen left and went to marry Shan Yuning......
At this time, the palace was already full of lights and was very busy.
The sedan chair surrounded by the big red ribbon was decorated with extravagance, and the attendants of the Luan Yiwei were ready to go, waiting around the sedan chair, ready to marry the newlyweds.
Leng Chen's convoy slowly entered the palace, Leng Chen wore a big red wedding robe and went to the queen mother, the emperor, and the queen mother to perform three kneels and nine knocks.
At this time, Princess Yuning was sitting in Kunning Palace, her face was haggard, her face was pale, her hands were nervously clasped together, and she trembled slightly.
She didn't close her eyes almost all night, and her nervous and excited emotions made her have no intention of sleeping at all, and her heart was beating in a panic, and after the palace maid served her and dressed neatly, she was panting nervously with a heavy and luxurious phoenix crown.
"Why are you so nervous?" Shan Yanran quipped.
Yu Ning ignored her, took a deep breath to herself, Shan Yanran walked up to her and smiled: "You should be happy, shouldn't you?" finally fulfilled my sister's wish, why did she look nervous about going to the battlefield? Is it because you are afraid that the prince will eat you at night? ”
Yu Ning's face turned red suddenly, her aunt in the palace had already tutored her before, although she just listened, but she also understood those things between men and women, and now she was ridiculed by Shan Yanran, and she couldn't hold her face.
"Okay, I won't tease you, put on the hijab, King Chenxian is already waiting outside the door, don't let him wait......" Shan Yanran said and picked up the red hijab on the table and walked over.
Yu Ning took a deep breath and nodded, and Shan Yanran unfolded the hijab and covered it.
The line of sight was immediately blocked, Yu Ning had no sense of security in his heart, and just as he got up and was about to walk forward, the skirt was stepped on and almost fell, fortunately Hongling was supported by the side, otherwise he would have fallen before he left the pavilion.
"Is the princess alright? Be careful......" Hongling advised.
"I'm fine......" Yu Ning calmed down, and secretly cheered for himself in his heart, today is his happy day, and he must not make a mistake.
Yu Ning regained her footing and was helped out of the room slowly by Hongling.
The sedan chair is up and down, the sedan chair driver gets up, and everything goes smoothly.
Princess Yuning sat in the sedan chair and was in a nervous mood, she knew that in front of the sedan chair was Leng Chen's carriage, she wanted to take a look at it, but she was afraid of the rules, so she had to tighten the red silk and hold her emotions.
Leng Chen's face was flat, sitting quietly in the car, letting the accompanying Luan honor guard blow and beat, and he was not moved at all, as if this big wedding had nothing to do with him, he was just a passerby.
The accompanying palace maids and eunuchs were large in number and huge in ranks, and they were surrounded by the people when they left the palace gate.
The royal family is married, and the people are naturally happy to join in the fun, Leng Chen is nothing, after all, when he marries Ruo'an, he is not less crowded.
But Yu Ning is different, since he was a child in the palace, he has never seen such a crowded scene, even if he is blocked by the hijab, judging from the level of noise around, there will be no less people.
Being watched by so many people, Yu Ning was naturally shy and became more and more nervous.
From the palace gate to Chenxian Palace, it was not a long distance, but because there were too many onlookers, it was only after walking for a long time that I could see the gate of the palace.
At this time, Ruo'an stood in front of the door, Ziyan accompanied him, and from a distance, he could see the procession of sending relatives like a fiery red dragon winding forward.
"There are so many people...... Ziyan couldn't help but sigh.
Ruo'an didn't speak, turned around and entered the palace, Ziyan thought she had said the wrong thing, Ruo'an was unhappy, so she hurriedly followed into the courtyard and persuaded: "Sister...... I didn't mean to...... I just ......"
"Nothing...... What you said is the truth, Yu Ning is a princess, and the specifications of marriage are naturally much higher than mine...... It's nothing, don't worry about me, I'm fine......" Ruoan said with a pretended usual smile, and Zhang Luo was ready to welcome the newcomer.
Ziyan suddenly felt a sadness in her heart, seeing her beloved marrying another woman and entering the door, and making arrangements, what kind of bitterness should she be in peace of mind......
"Madame...... The guard of honor has arrived in front of the palace! A little eunuch hurriedly came to report, Ruo'an nodded: "Inform everyone to get ready and greet ...... The princess ......"
"Sister...... Ziyan became more and more distressed about Ruo'an, Ruo'an smiled awkwardly: "I'm fine, you stay here to help, I'll go back first......"
"Sister, where are you going?" Ziyan asked.
"Go back to your room and take a rest, I'd better not show up on this occasion...... I'll leave it to you Zhang Luo, I'll go back first......"
"Don't you want me to accompany you?" Ziyan was worried.
Ruo An shook his head: "I can do it alone, you better stay and help, help me take care of the prince, let him drink less wine...... and then turn around and leave.
Ziyan looked at Ruo'an's distant figure, couldn't help but sigh lightly, and followed everyone to the door to greet them.
When Ziyan walked to the door, Princess Yuning had already been helped out of the sedan chair by Hongling and led the red silk into the palace.
The guard of honor stopped in front of the palace gate, and the palace maid and eunuch who were married followed Princess Yuning into it, and the courtyard of the palace was suddenly overcrowded.
In the main hall of Chenxian Wangfu, the curtain is colorful, the word of happiness hangs high, and the red candle is swaying.
The main hall was naturally crowded with people, and Ziyan couldn't even squeeze in, so she had no choice but to tiptoe and look through the crowded head, so it was not hard.
When the auspicious time arrived, the ceremony was held as scheduled.
Leng Chen has always been very calm, obediently accepting all the wedding order, but Yu Ning does not have such good self-control, she was already nervous, got off the sedan chair and almost fell softly, the weight of her body was almost leaning on Hongling, and now she saluted, she was also nervous, for fear that she would make a mess and lose Leng Chen's face.
Fortunately, Hongling is a clever girl, and she has been helping by the side, until the woman shouted: "Send it to the cave room ......", Princess Yuning's tense nerves were relaxed. (To be continued......)
