Chapter 407: Finally becoming a side concubine
Embellishment with red makeup, wedding dress.
Looking at the bronze mirror, he was dressed in a phoenix crown, and he could hear the joyful sound of firecrackers and suona outside.
The corners of her mouth pulled out a trace of emotional sorrow and a bitter smile, Xiao Jinxuan raised her right hand and put the red hijab on her head indifferently.
After doing all this, she continued to sit quietly in the boudoir.
Xiao Jinxuan seemed to be looking at a mud and stone statue, and she couldn't see any of the shy and pretty feelings that a bride should have.
And not long after, as Xi Po said auspicious words, he pushed the door open.
It was convenient to step forward to help Xiao Jinxuan up, and babbled about the things to pay attention to when the big wedding promise.
After all, if this royal prince's welcome gift happens, then Xi Po will definitely not be able to afford it.
He was helped out of the door and walked to the front of the mansion.
Through the big red hijab made of brocade, Xiao Jinxuan could vaguely see that there was an endless stream of onlookers watching Daoxi, and Zhou Xianrui's figure also appeared in front.
Thinking about the scene when Xiao Jinwen got married that day, Xiao Jinxuan didn't expect that it would be her turn so soon.
It's just that the other party is happy to marry the Lang Jun she likes, and her big wedding is just a bargaining chip, this feeling really makes Xiao Jinxuan sigh and sigh.
Originally, today's wedding, Xiao Jinxuan's mood is different from those brides who are happy to get married, how can the happy woman next to her be endlessly nagging and talking.
Immediately, Xiao Jinxuan's eyebrows, hidden under the red hijab, wrinkled impatiently.
Then she reached out and pushed Xi Po some, and said coldly:
"Xin helped me get into the sedan chair and told this mother-in-law to stay away from me, which was really noisy."
Because the sound of suona firecrackers was all around, Xiao Jinxuan's words could only be heard clearly by Xin, who was following closely.
However, everyone around saw the scene of Xiao Jinxuan pushing away Xi Po.
Immediately, I couldn't help but look at each other, feeling that the other party was too ignorant of the severity, and it was really a bit of my own way.
After all, such a big wedding like the royal prince marrying a side concubine, not only are the princes and ministers gathered, but even the process rules are extremely exquisite.
Thinking of Zhou Xianrui's always rigorous and upright style, and the exclusive one who likes to watch the lively, I can't help but guess. The other party is not allowed to reprimand himself as the new side concubine, after all, such an unruly behavior is simply discrediting the Rui Wangfu.
There are actually a lot of people who have this kind of thought, because Zhou Xianrui actually accepted a concubine surnamed Su last year.
Perhaps because they really love each other, the Su family, who was not qualified to enter the palace from the main gate, received grace and this honor.
But maybe he felt that he was quite a**, this Su family was actually in front of the Rui Wang's Mansion, and his words were quite disrespectful to Concubine Shen Qing.
Although this is just a very small episode, everyone still remembers that Zhou Xianrui at that meeting not only asked Su to kneel in public to serve tea to Shen Qing to make amends, but also asked the other party to kneel in front of the mansion for three hours before he agreed to the other party's entrance.
And that meeting Su was just reckless, but now Xiao Jinxuan's approach is even more unscrupulous.
For a while, everyone couldn't help but look at Zhou Xianrui, not knowing how this prince would react.
And at this moment, Zhou Xianrui did see Xiao Jinxuan's movement, and then he stepped forward to meet him.
Quite worriedly, he grabbed Xiao Jinxuan's plain hand, and felt that the other party's hand was now as cold as ice, and immediately Zhou Xianrui couldn't help but say with pity:
"But today's dress up is too cumbersome, why Jinxuan's hands are like this. This king knows that you don't like to decorate too much, if you are really uncomfortable, take off the red gold phoenix crown that is not light. As for that Xi Po, if you don't like it, I will ask Xiangping to accompany you by your side. It's also that this king didn't think about it, and just thought that Zhuxin understood your daily life, so he arranged for her to go to the palace to decorate the courtyard of your room first. On the contrary, it is called Jinxuan, and there are fewer servant girls who can be used closely. ”
What Xiao Jinxuan said, everyone really didn't listen to the suona sound.
But the people who were curious about how Zhou Xianrui would deal with this matter, because almost all of them were listening with their ears pricked up.
So even if the suona sound is still as loud as ever, the sage king of the Great Zhou, who has always been known for his rigor, his accommodating and soft words are still accurately heard by everyone.
For a while, there were bursts of surprise and whispering discussions, and they sounded one after another.
Thinking of Zhou Xianyu, a generation of war kings who were not close to women, he also fell in love with this Xiao family's concubine, and finally went to the border for the other party, and died in battle.
And now compared to Zhou Xianyu, Zhou Xianrui, who has always been virtuous and upright, and is also rigorous and calm.
Now this rare scene of deep affection immediately made everyone sigh.
Thinking of this Jingshi inside and outside, they now compare Xiao Jinxuan to a red face and a demon girl. Unconsciously surrounded the audience, and I really felt that this was true.
Otherwise, Xiao Jinxuan will rely on her identity as a concubine, as well as the other party's gentle appearance, but without a stunning appearance.
If it's not a water demon girl, how can you charm the two princes, they can't help but be trapped in it.
pointed and whispered to the people around her, even if Xiao Jinxuan hijabs across the side, she can actually occasionally hear a few gossips.
However, Xiao Jinxuan just turned a deaf ear to these, and she just said in a cold and calm voice through the red hijab:
"Lord, you personally sent me to the wedding sedan chair, now there are a lot of people in the prime minister's house here, since our play has started, we must not show the slightest flaw."
Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan did not withdraw her hand this time, she let herself pull it.
Although the other party's voice still did not carry any emotion, a soft smile flashed in Zhou Xianrui's eyes.
took Xiao Jinxuan's hand, walked on the road covered with splendid red silk, and personally lifted the sedan curtain and helped Xiao Jinxuan to sit in.
Because according to Xiao Jinxuan's request, the etiquette and customs that should be able to be saved, all of which were canceled by Zhou Xianrui.
After all, it is the marriage of the prince, so looking at the entire Changping City, there are all high-hanging red silk, which is extremely festive and lively.
And when the sedan chair fell, Xiao Jinxuan was rushed to accompany her Xiangping, who was personally supported by the princess to walk towards King Rui's mansion.
Immediately, I saw the guests who came to congratulate all around, as well as the house slaves of King Rui's Mansion, and at the moment when Xiao Jinxuan stepped through the door of the mansion, they all bowed down and knelt down to say goodbye.
"Congratulations to King Rui for getting a good couple, congratulations to the lord of Zhaoyang for tying the knot, and I wish the prince and Concubine Xiao a good union for a hundred years and an early birth of a noble son."
When everyone was happy, the title of Concubine Xiao sounded in Xiao Jinxuan's ears, which made her heartache like that.
Because from this moment on, her identity as the concubine of the Xiao family and the county lord of Yongchang Wangfu will slowly be forgotten.
The new title of Concubine Xiao will eventually follow her like a shadow, and it may be difficult to take it off in this life.
The wedding customs of crossing the brazier and kicking the sedan door were all omitted, so after Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianrui entered the palace, they directly began to worship the church.
Hearing the master of ceremonies, he said auspicious words and shouted to worship heaven and earth.
After silently closing her eyes and sighing silently, Xiao Jinxuan bowed three times, and this wedding was considered a ceremony at this time.
But because Zhou Xianrui is the prince of the royal family, as a rule, after the ceremony is completed in the palace, he will take Xiao Jinxuan to the palace to serve tea to his father and mother in person.
This newlywed entering the palace to ask for peace is the ancestral system of the Great Zhou royal family, so other Zhou Xianrui can accommodate Xiao Jinxuan, but this one, although it is the most troublesome, even he can't go beyond it.
Therefore, surrounded by a group of guests, the sound of suona and firecrackers sounded lively again from the Rui Wang's mansion.
And Xiao Jinxuan also sat in the sedan chair from the new house, and after Zhou Xianrui got on the high-headed horse, the group of people went in the direction of the palace.
Because of this royal marriage, there is a saying that it is not true.
That is, the more people the guests are willing to walk behind the wedding procession, the more valuable the royal status is.
And Zhou Xianrui played a pivotal role in the previous dynasty, and he could even fight with the Prime Minister.
Therefore, which guest will not leave first, in order to please Zhou Xianrui, they followed behind the wedding team, preparing to send each other into the palace lively.
Because the royal family marries relatives, they have always sprinkled candy along the way, so nearly half of the people in the city will watch along the road.
Compared with the excitement of the wedding team, the gate of Jingshi City is a little deserted.
But just when the officers and soldiers guarding the city were also talking about today's big wedding in the Rui Wangfu.
Suddenly, a dozen men on horseback appeared at the gate of the city. And the familiar figures of Su Qi and Bai Chu were among them.
The Prime Minister's heart was different, and it did impose martial law on the cities and prefectures under the jurisdiction of the road.
But no matter how bold they were, they didn't dare to control the gates of the Jingshi.
And when he got here, Zhou Xianyu, who was hidden under the cloak all the way, naturally didn't need this disguise.
After a few months of absence, he finally returned to Beijing again.
Thinking that he would be able to see Xiao Jinxuan immediately, Zhou Xianyu, who took off his cloak and chuckled freely, couldn't help but see the festive red silk hanging on the city gate.
Zhou Xianyu, who was also from the royal family, naturally knew that the red silk hanging on this city wall must be the royal family above the county king, and the honor that only deserved when marrying the concubine.
But I don't remember that in the Jingshi, apart from himself, there is no one else who has not married Zhou Xianyu, who is a concubine.
Immediately curious, he couldn't help but drive his horse to the soldiers guarding the city, and then smiled evilly, and asked casually:
"Could it be that the king of Runjun was canonized as the prince, and he was married by his father.
Tell the king which royal house in this city is holding a happy event. Lord's luck is not bad, and he can get a cup of happy wine to drink as soon as he returns to Beijing. ”
Su Qi and others, who had been sleeping with Zhou Xianyu for a few months, would return to Beijing, and their tense emotions would finally relax.
When they all coaxed, Zhou Xianyu would definitely take them to join in the fun, and when the time comes, they will be able to relax and relieve their fatigue after drinking a few glasses of happy wine.
When it comes to these soldiers guarding the city, they naturally know Zhou Xianyu's identity.
Seeing that this royal lord who had news of his death was standing alive in front of himself and others.
Immediately, the eyes of these soldiers widened, and they stood in place in astonishment, forgetting for a moment that they were going to kneel down and ask for peace.
However, among these soldiers, there are also those who are quick to react.
Therefore, I saw a tall and thin guard who had a trace of hesitation in his eyes after he came to his senses, but he still immediately said to Zhou Xianyu:
"It is really a blessing for my Great Zhou that Your Highness can return safely, but it is only right for you to ask which palace this wedding is. Forgive the little talk, you better hurry up and take a look. Because this happy event is organized by the Rui Wangfu, but the person who Rui Wang Ye married is your former quasi-princess, Xiao Jinxuan, the lord of Zhaoyang. ”
