104, the prince's wedding
Luo Yunxi's eyes were cold, and when she saw Cao Qian running out of the room with her skirt up, she felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart, and looked back at Qi Huanting.
Qi Huanting's black hair was tilted, her figure was lonely and lonely, standing in front Chinese of the window, and she didn't look back, as if she was the most affected by Cao Qian's actions, but Luo Yunxi noticed that her shoulders trembled slightly.
Walking over lightly, Luo Yunxi raised her hand and put it on her left shoulder, and comforted: "Ting'er, you have nothing to do with Qin Peng, since he chose Cao Qian, it is equivalent to giving up on you, there is no need to take Cao Qian's words to heart." β
Qi Huanting moved her head over, her face was buried deep in Luo Yunxi's shoulders and neck, her breathing was short, and it slowly subsided, she raised her head for a long time, and said with a smile: "Xi'er's body has a heavy milky taste, she really hasn't grown up." β
After speaking, she sat down in front of the rhombic bronze mirror and called out to the people outside the courtyard.
Luo Yunxi pursed her lips in embarrassment, smiled helplessly, and felt a little relieved to see that she was in a calm mood.
The prince is wearing a red groom outfit today, riding a jujube red royal horse, the horse body is wearing red silk, beaming, followed by a long team of royal forest troops, first going to Zeng's mansion to pick up the concubine Zeng Shuilan, and then detouring to pick up the side concubines of the two families.
When Qi Huanting came out of the Qi Mansion, it was already three o'clock, and her sedan chair was followed by Luo Yueqi's sedan chair, but Zeng Shuilan and the prince exchanged for a huge red luan sedan chair, carried by twelve people, and the stars walked at the front of the team like the moon, and the two sat in the sedan chair to welcome the blessings and cheers of the people of the city.
In comparison, the two side concubines seemed to be unknown.
At noon, the prince and the bride finished parading through the street, and the three newlyweds were sent into the prince's mansion, and the guests followed suit, and the huge prince's mansion immediately became noisy, and everyone sat and waited for the evening worship hall and wedding banquet.
From noon to evening, the bride will stay in the cave room and will not come out, and in order to be less courteous, she cannot eat or drink water during this time.
Luo Yunxi was afraid that Qi Huanting would be lonely, so she sat in the cave room with her and talked.
During this period, the prince invited the guests to visit the prince's mansion, and she also went to join in the fun.
Coincidentally, next to the verdant green altar in the back garden, I met Liang Yeqiu.
Liang Yeqiu came over with a few young people, and suddenly saw that Luo Yunxi was also here, and his face sank.
A few young people on the side are a few classmates whom Liang Yeqiu met when he was studying at night, and they have never entered the palace, and today is the first time to come to the prince's mansion, the prince is married, they occupy Liang Yeqiu's light, and come to feast their eyes.
They didn't know Luo Yunxi if they hadn't entered the palace, and when they saw that she was dressed simply and decently, although her face was young, she was delicate and beautiful, and her temperament was elegant, and they were respectful, so they thought it was the young lady of the court official's family, and someone asked Liang Yeqiu softly at the moment.
Liang Yeqiu pursed his lips and did not answer.
Luo Yunxi had already drifted indifferently past their sides and walked into the distance.
"Falling clouds!" Someone suddenly shouted.
These young men were all slightly taken aback, they were quite familiar with this name, and when they looked around, they saw Duanmuqi hurriedly running towards Luo Yunxi.
Liang Yeqiu gathered all the looks in his eyes, went over to salute Duanmu Qi, and said kind words in his mouth: "Twelve princes." β
The young people behind also hurriedly shouted the Twelve Princes, but their eyes were full of shock and looked at Luo Yunxi.
It turned out to be her! The third lady who gave Liang Yeqiu a letter of resignation and was rumored to be a waste every day! It's really unseemly.
Duanmuqi stopped Luo Yunxi, and before he could say a word to her, his eyes glanced at Liang Yeqiu, turned to the eyes of the person next to him, his eyes were condensed, and said, "What do you see, haven't you seen a beauty?" β
Several young people lowered their heads in fright when they heard this.
They know that the Twelve Princes have always been domineering and unreasonable, doing their own thing, and they will reprimand them when they encounter things they are not used to.
"Luo Yunxi, let's go." Duanmuqi pulled her sleeve very affectionately, dragged it forward, and said, "It's great to hear that you have withdrawn from the marriage, that person has eyes and doesn't know the preciousness of our third lady, it's better to follow His Royal Highness." β
Duanmuqi's voice came very clearly, Liang Yeqiu's face changed again and again, Rao was the most sluggish, and he also heard the thick sarcasm in the tone of the twelve princes, that words were clearly for him!
His clenched fist trembled slightly, his face could no longer be hung up, he turned around, left his classmates, and left quickly.
The other youths were extremely embarrassed, glanced at each other, and carefully moved towards the exit of the Prince's Mansion.
Duanmuqi's words were deliberately said to Liang Yeqiu, and when Liang Yeqiu and his party couldn't see the shadow, he stopped, looked at Luo Yunxi cautiously, and asked tentatively: "Luo Yunxi, do you remember what I once told you?" β
"Well, what's that?" Luo Yunxi pretended to be deaf and dumb, he shouldn't mean that incident, right?
Sure enough, Duanmuqi plucked up his courage and said: "At the beginning, I said that I wanted to take you as a concubine, and you said that you had a fiancΓ©, but now, you have withdrawn from the marriage, and you are still divorced. β
Luo Yunxi smiled, looking at his slightly childish face, not knowing how to refuse, for fear of hurting his self-esteem.
Duanmuqi muttered: "Actually, I can go and ask my father to give you to me as a side concubine, even if I have a concubine in the future, I will be happy with you." β
βweishenmeοΌβ Luo Yunxi asked lightly, "I don't need your sympathy." β
"Not sympathy." Duanmuqi hurriedly explained, "I...... I still like you very much, and I often think of you when I can't see you. After speaking, his face was slightly red. Luo Yunxi has an indescribable temperament that always lingers in his mind when he dreams back to the pillow.
With her, he felt unusually relaxed.
Before Luo Yunxi could answer, a figure came out from behind the tree, and his voice was as cold as a clear spring: "Between you and her, it's impossible." β
Duanmuqi suddenly looked at the visitor, the dark red on his face deepened, and his voice was sorrowful: "King of Zhongshan, why do you say that?" β
Junlan was wearing a purple thin brocade gown, the purple was saturated in the sun, and a Hetian jade bracelet was put on his wrist, which was full of color, showing the nobility of his identity.
He said indifferently: "This king puts his words here. β
Luo Yunxi frowned, Qiushui phoenix eyes stared at him unhappily, and said coldly: "King Zhongshan, my marriage has nothing to do with you. β
He interfered in her and Liang Yeqiu's divorce, does he still want to interfere in her future marriage?
Jun Lanfeng didn't care about her bad attitude, his eyes swept over her face, looked at Duanmuqi, and said: "A woman writes a letter of divorce to a man, or does she leave before marriage, where does a letter of divorce come from without a marriage contract?" All that is given is endless humiliation! This is not something that a woman should do, just ask, how could the emperor give you such a woman as a side concubine? β
Luo Yunxi listened to the tone of his words, his face turned dark, and Duanmu Qi unintentionally tightened his brows, and was very unhappy with Jun Lanfeng's sarcastic tone, so he asked: "What does King Zhongshan mean is that Luo Yunxi really can't get married?" β
Jun Lanfeng smiled lightly and said, "Not really. It's just that the emperor may not allow her to marry into the royal family. Duanmuqi's face was gloomy and a little stunned.
Luo Yunxi looked at Jun Lanfeng sarcastically: "You think I want to marry into the royal family?" Don't think so well of the royal family, there are more people in the world who don't want to enter the royal family! β
Duanmu Qi was distracted for a moment when he heard this.
Jun Lanfeng looked back at her deeply, thoughtful.
After Luo Yunxi finished speaking, he quickly left the two of them and walked in the other direction of the back garden, not wanting to talk to these people anymore, so he quickly threw them away and returned to Qi Huanting's courtyard.
Time flies very fast, the sky is getting dark, the prince's mansion holds a palace lamp, the guests gather together, sit in the largest east courtyard in the mansion to talk and laugh, dozens of zhang wide east hall lights up the red candle with the thickness of the baby's arm, the big red brocade silk that covers the sky, the emperor and the queen personally come, sit on the high seat, wait for the worship hall.
Although the crown prince's side concubine is a concubine, unlike the concubines of ordinary families, she also has to participate in the worship hall.
Luo Yunxi helped Qi Huanting out, and when she entered the courtyard gate, she met Luo Yueqi who was supported by Xi Niang on the opposite side, and she couldn't help but move in her heart.
Luo Yueqi's wish is finally coming true, she and Qi Huanting are married as side concubines, although they can't have a round house in front of the house, but under one roof, they will definitely compete for favor, but will such a simple and kind Ting'er be her opponent?
Handing over Qi Huanting to another bride, Luo Yunxi will have nothing to do, and in the next cave room, except for the groom and the bride, even the bride's closest people are inconvenient to enter.
She retreated to the corner, where the candlelight could not shine, and looked at the prince who was smiling and greeting the guests, and the three brides with red hijabs beside her, and felt extremely funny in her heart, three daughters married to one husband, it was really ...... Amusing! And when his eyes fell on Qi Huanting's thin back, a layer of melancholy shrouded her eyebrows.
Suddenly, a low voice sounded in her ears: "Senior sister, junior sister, come to me." β
Luo Yunxi pricked up his ears and could tell that this was Duanmu Li's voice, except for him, no one would call him junior sister, so he couldn't help but retract his gaze at Qi Huanting and looked around.
This glance swept over the spacious east hall.
Jun Lanfeng and Duanmu Zhe sat under the hands of the emperor and empress and became witnesses to this wedding, Duanmu Qi, as the prince's younger brother, commanded the ceremonial officer and the subordinates of the prince's mansion to do things, and was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground.
There was an empty chair between Junlan Feng and Duanmu Zhe's chair, and when Luo Yunxi came in, he didn't see anyone sitting, and it was estimated that Duanmu was leaving.
Even, as soon as I focused my attention, I heard someone talking not far away.
"Have you seen the second prince?" A low female voice.
"See, the second prince is the first time to appear tonight, it's so beautiful, it's much more charming than three years ago, my heart is about to jump out." Another woman clutched her chest.
"Handsome enough, it's not in vain that his mother is a great beauty that year, Concubine Li Ting, who can really fascinate a lot of people. It's just that he doesn't have a serious appearance, he doesn't leave his wine, and he likes to visit the Qinglou, but he still can't compare to the six princes. β
"Also, the six princes are also good-looking, and they are gentle and elegant, with a noble temperament, if you want to marry, it is better to be the sixth prince."
"Can you marry the Sixth Prince? Dream on! β
Luo Yunxi listened to this conversation and was speechless for a while, and Duanmu Li once again transmitted the voice into the secret: "Behind you, come over quietly." β
Luo Yunxi took a moment, saw that no one was paying attention to her, quickly flashed into the darkness, retreated five or six steps in a row, her back against a wall of flesh, and hugged her violently with one hand, but it covered her mouth.
"It's me." Duanmu Li's light laughter swayed in her ears, leading Luo Yunxi, and the two of them quickly left through the side door.
"Where are you going?" Luo Yunxi asked sideways.
The moonlight shines on Duanmuli's white skin, his chin is slightly pointed, his forehead is slightly upturned, his forehead is wiped in ice blue, his long eyebrows are erect, his thin lips are like cherry blossoms, and his expression is indifferent, like a face of an ice sculpture, which is clearly a work of art.
Thinking of what the two women had just said, she smiled dumbly.
It's fascinating indeed...... She was curious about the appearance of that Concubine Liting.
Hearing this, the ice sculpture had a gentle smile: "Of course I went to the kitchen, I was starved to death." β
The corners of Luo Yunxi's mouth twitched: "Won't you serve the meal later?" β
Duanmu flew away from his figure, his white clothes crackled, and he landed on the roof of the big kitchen of the prince's mansion with Luo Yunxi familiarly, and the wavy eaves tiles under the feet of the two of them firmly supported the two figures.
Duanmu Li glanced at her like an idiot: "There are so many people in the East Hall, all looking at you, can you eat enough?" β
Luo Yunxi shrugged: "Okay, you just make excuses for gluttony." β
"Life, you have to enjoy it, besides, it's too boring there, isn't it?" After Duanmu finished speaking, he bent down on the roof, lifted a few tiles lightly, and looked inside.
Luo Yunxi agreed with this sentence very much, she had already suffered enough in her previous life, and asked, "Is there anyone?" β
"Someone, shhhh Duanmu Li said, narrowing a peach blossom eye, and took a turn in the large smoky kitchen.
Behind the stove was a long table, on which were placed all kinds of exquisite dishes, all lined up, like flowing water, and must be ready to be presented to the east hall later. The work in the kitchen has been finished, but there are still many people guarding the table to prevent someone from poisoning.
Duanmu Li took a closer look, and there were more than a dozen dishes on the stove in the east corner of the kitchen, which were probably kept by these chefs for themselves, he smiled slightly, covered the roof tiles, and whispered a few words to Yunxi, and the two of them touched the direction.
This time, Duanmu Li took out a rope with four golden hooks from his arms and slowly probed down the crack of the roof tiles.
Luo Yunxi crouched on the roof and exclaimed, "You still have professional tools, it's too strong." β
Duanmu looked at her obliquely from the good-looking peach blossom eyes, smiled and whispered: "Xi'er, this is not my senior brother's, it is my master's, the manufacturing is relatively simple, but make do with it." β
Luo Yunxi laughed, lying on the roof tiles with his limbs flat, reaching out to remove the tiles in front of his eyes, and idly watching the hook poke into a plate of red stewed chicken feet on the table.
Duanmu Li skillfully hooked the four sides of the plate, quickly lifted it up, and handed it to Luo Yunxi: "Come, eat this first." Stuffing the hook into his sleeve, he sat up in a slender figure, grabbed Luo Yunxi, and reminded with concern: "Don't fall down." β
Luo Yunxi's lips were raised, her smile was incomparably bright, and she sat side by side with Duanmu and ate on the roof.
The air in the high places is exceptionally fresh, Luo Yunxi is in a very good mood, all the unhappiness melts into this warm moonlight, the moon and stars blink at the two of them, and the countless trees in the prince's mansion are hazy stretching their branches, competing to show their swaying figures.
"Senior sister, is it delicious?" Duanmu Li only ate one piece, and all his interest was attracted by Luo Yunxi's relish, and he watched her eat the fruits he stole with great satisfaction. This appearance is like him who followed the master when he was a child, the master was responsible for stealing, he was responsible for eating, and the warmth of that kind of home was entangled in my heart.
"Well, it tastes so good." Luo Yunxi's palms were greasy, but she didn't mind grabbing the chicken feet and nibbling them, and replied vaguely.
"Senior sister, what else do you want to eat?" Duanmu Li leaned over and asked.
"Let's have a plate of stir-fried meat." Luo Yunxi thought about it and gave an order.
"Good!" Duanmu pulled out the hook and continued to throw it down.
Not to mention that there is harmony here, but it is said that the east hall has worshipped, the three brides were sent into the cave room, and the emperor symbolically said a few words, and took the queen back to the palace.
Only then did the prince signal Duanmuqi to order the food to be served, and the dishes like flowing water entered the hall one after another, and the guests let go of their hands and feet and started talking and laughing freely.
Luo Jingwen looked around the hall, but he didn't see Luo Yunxi, he didn't take it to heart, knowing that she had been with Concubine Qi all day, and he couldn't care so much, he only begged this daughter not to cause trouble for him in his heart.
Jun Lanfeng glanced at Duanmu Zhe, his eyes were puzzled, he got down from the high seat, searched around, frowned and looked at Duanmu Li's empty seat, and then strode out.
Duanmu Zhe also left his seat, and noticed that the prince was holding a wine cup to make a toast at Luo Jingwen, and his deep eyes were always at Luo FeiyingSpinning around, he paused and walked quickly.
"Zhe." Luo Feiying pinched the wine glass and called him, a smile bloomed on her face, but her eyelashes covered a trace of loneliness.
He obviously came here tonight, but he didn't even come to see him, really...... Is she to blame?
