Chapter 49: Liu Xu's wedding
May 28, the day of Liu Xu's wedding.
The prince's wedding, there is no need to mention the battle, and the whole capital is boiling.
Many people can still recall the excitement of those years after many years.
The royal family gave the crown princess enough dignity and honor, but the results of these two people were also embarrassing, and no one thought that something would happen later.
The entire ceremony of the wedding lasted all day.
At night, the Prince's Mansion is still surrounded by the laughter of Michiki's ministers, and the entire Prince's Mansion seems to be a city that never sleeps.
The laughter over there continued, but Liu Changqing looked very lonely here, and Hongxuan asked, "Can the prince go out and see the excitement?"
"It's just getting married, what's so nice. Liu Chang said lightly, "If it passes, I will have to laugh when I see people, but I can't laugh at all now! It's just right that this leg is broken, so I don't have to join in the fun!"
"The prince doesn't like the crown princess?" asked Hongxuan.
"Who will like her!" Liu Changqing sneered, "Her ambition is almost not written on her face, and she pretends to be good in front of the Queen Mother, it's good to have Concubine Jiang there! It's also because of her that Concubine Jiang can't come back, I don't hate who she hates!"
"The prince said cautiously, there is no Concubine Jiang now. Hongxuan sighed softly, "You have a good rest, whether you want to or not, you have to go to the crown princess tomorrow to say goodbye." ”
"I know!" Liu Changqing covered himself in the quilt, "I'm annoyed, I'm annoyed!"
Qiongfang-in.
"It's so lively outside!" The third lady laughed softly, "I married in for His Royal Highness's concubine, although it was also carried into the palace by eight sedan chairs, but there was no such grand ceremony, now that I think about it, I have a little regret, but as a concubine, there is no way to be a concubine." ”
She smiled bitterly, and then said: "Seriously, I sometimes think, what if I hadn't been so insistent on marrying His Highness at the beginning? Maybe I'm now a serious lady of a petty official, he doesn't have much power, but he has two points of talent, we already have several children, he is busy with government affairs, and I educate my children." I respect each other like a guest, of course, occasionally he will have crooked thoughts and want to take a concubine, and those days may be boring, but they are also happy, aren't they?"
Qi'er hurriedly made a silent posture and said anxiously: "Madam, what's wrong with you? How can you have so many feelings? Although today is the day of His Royal Highness's wedding, you can't say that you want to marry other men, if this reaches the ears of the new crown princess, you can't give her a chance to have a seizure? Madam, didn't you say, let's be careful in our actions in the future, lest she take the handle, why is Madame so angry?"
When I heard the music outside, I couldn't help but sigh a few more words. The third lady smiled slightly, "No matter what, we have to live this day, don't we? Let's go, let's go and see the son, the son should be lonely at this time!"
At the same time, Xie Xuan was sent to a new house.
She sat on the edge of the bed, lifted her hijab, and secretly looked at everything in front of her with a new wistful and shy look.
Here, from now on, will be her home.
She finally married Liu Xu and became the crown princess.
As for Liu Xu's heart, it doesn't matter if it's not in her now, anyway, she knows that what she wants has never been obtained. Liu Xu's heart, she is bound to win!
"Crown Princess, let's have some snacks!" the maid smiled and brought a plate of snacks, "You haven't eaten for a day, let's make a cushion first! Your Highness should be almost there!"
Xie Xuan picked up a piece of pastry, ate it elegantly, and instructed: "You send two people out to watch, other people's highnesses have drunk too much!"
"Is the crown princess still afraid that His Highness won't be able to find the door?" the maid covered her mouth and laughed, "No matter how happy Your Highness is, she will never forget the most important thing." ”
"Dead girl!" Xie Xuan scolded, then asked the maid to bring down the snacks, and waited for Liu Xu to come back dignifiedly.
Just waiting for the right and waiting, Liu Xu was not seen, the maids were in a hurry, and hurriedly sent someone to invite the prince over, always lifting the hijab first and drinking a glass of wine before saying.
It's just that the maids sent out came back to please, and the prince was not seen outside at all, and those ministers also went into the cave room with the prince, and each ate and drank.
"What?" Xie Xuan lifted the hijab off his head, "The prince is gone, go and look for it, call a few more people to find it!"
"Yes. ”
At this time, Liu Xu's figure appeared at the door.
"It seems that you can't wait to take off your hijab, but you don't need to do it. Liu Xu said lightly mockingly.
Xie Xuan smiled and said, "I just heard from the maid that I can't find His Highness, where is His Highness?"
"Do I still need to report the whereabouts of this palace to you?" Liu Xu said coldly.
"That's not what the concubine meant!"
Seeing this, the maid was afraid that they would quarrel on the big day, so she hurriedly asked the prince and the princess to drink together.
Liu Xu picked up the wine glass, did not mean to drink a glass of wine with Xie Xuan, drank his own cup, and then put the quilt in the tray, without looking at Xie Xuan again, sat down and stretched his legs, and called: "Take off your boots!"
Two maids hurriedly stepped forward to serve.
Xie Xuan's face was a little unbearable, so he drank the wine himself, gritted his teeth and endured it.
She then squatted down in front of Liu Xu and said with a smile: "Let the concubine serve the prince, right?"
"No need. Liu Xu smiled faintly, and he glanced at the maids, "You all go down." ”
"Yes. The five or six maids in the room all withdrew.
In the new room, alone with Liu Xu, Xie Xuan's face began to get hot, she lowered her eyes shyly, and called softly: "Lord Wang." ”
Liu Xu still looked at her coldly, and then took off his clothes and fell asleep by himself.
Xie Xuan stood on the side of the bed, froze for a moment, and then took off his coat and lay down beside Liu Xu.
She raised her hand to hold Liu Xu's hand and said, "Your Highness, today is the night of candles in our cave room. ”
Liu Xu didn't speak, just pulled out his hand, turned over, and continued to sleep.
Xie Xuan's eyes were full of tears, she endured it for a while, and asked in a choked voice: "Does Your Highness really hate me so much? Today is our wedding day, do you have to humiliate me like this?"
"This palace has told you a long time ago that this palace will give you the honor of the crown princess, but don't think about the rest. Liu Xu said lightly.
"But I'm your wife now, and we've worshiped heaven and earth!" Xie Xuan said with some excitement, "Even if I had something wrong before, can't Your Highness forgive me once for the sake of today's great joy?"
"Your biggest mistake is that you shouldn't marry this palace, since you are married, there are some things that this palace has made clear to you in advance, so you have to be mentally prepared. Liu Xu said lightly.
The two of them didn't say anything anymore, although they lay quietly on the same bed, but it was as if there was a galaxy in between, a gap that they might not be able to cross in their lives.
The next day, the two got up early in the morning and entered the palace to thank them.
Fengxi Palace.
"I've seen the imperial grandmother!" Liu Xu and Xie Xuan, the newlyweds knelt down and saluted.
The Queen Mother was very happy, but her spirit still did not improve, and she smiled: "Good boy, good boy, get up!"
"Empress Dowager Xie!"
The two got up, and the Queen Mother pulled Xie Xuan to her side again, and said considerate words for a while, which was nothing more than asking her to have a child as soon as possible, and to spread the branches and leaves for the royal family as soon as possible.
Xie Xuan agreed shyly.
After talking for a while, the Queen Mother called Liu Xu over again and told the couple to love and grow old together.
The Queen Mother lost the sharpness of her youth, she was a little confused, and there were just a few words that came and went.
"By the way, is the prince's injury better?" asked the Queen Mother.
Liu Xu smiled faintly: "It will take a hundred days to break his muscles and bones, will it be so fast? After his injuries recover, he will definitely be the first to enter the palace to greet the Queen Mother!"
"Well, then let him be raised well!" The Queen Mother smiled, "This grandson, the mourning family is loved, the crown princess, you will be her mother-in-law in the future, although he is only a few years older, this should be disciplined or disciplined! Her mother died not long ago, and she will be taught to take care of you in the future!"
"It's what a concubine should do. Xie Xuan smiled faintly, "The concubine will not live up to the hopes of the queen mother and the prince for the concubine." ”
After greeting the Queen Mother, Liu Xu went to discuss government affairs with His Majesty, and Xie Xuan went back to the Prince's Mansion alone.
As soon as he got into the carriage, the smile on Xie Xuan's face disappeared completely.
She is a face-loving person, she never wants others to see her jokes, even if there are many grievances in her heart, but she will never show it in front of others, she will always show people the best and happiest side of herself.
After returning to the Prince's Mansion, Liu Changqing and the third lady came to greet her.
The third lady had been waiting for her tea early, and seeing her so deferential, Xie Xuan was quite satisfied.
"The third lady came quite early!"
"It's just a delay to give tea to the crown princess!" the third lady smiled, "This is the rule, and it can't be messed up!"
"It's hard for you to be so sensible. Xie Xuan said lightly, "In the future, with your help in handling the affairs of the Prince's Mansion, I think I will be able to relax a little more!"
It stands to reason that Liu Changqing should have arrived at this time, but he didn't see him until noon, just when Xie Xuan was about to get angry, Hongxuan came to confess, and the prince was not feeling well and couldn't come to ask for peace.
"Feeling unwell?" Xie Xuan sneered, "What's uncomfortable?"
"It should be a cold!" Hongxuan said lightly, "Thank you for the princess's concern, I have already called the imperial doctor." ”
"Since Shizi is uncomfortable, then I'll go see Shizi too!" Xie Xuan got up and said lightly.
