Chapter 187: Candles in the Cave Room
Zhu Youdong felt that he had been stumped and his problem was solved, so he let go of his heart and walked outside Li Xiao's room. There was a pair of big red characters pasted on the door of the room, which was particularly eye-catching, Zhu Youdong looked at it, and then walked into the room.
Looking at the festive objects all over the room, Zhu Youdong felt that his mood was also festive. Zhu Youdong turned around the outer room and entered the inner room. There was already a beautiful woman sitting in front of the bed, and a few maids were taking care of her. The maid in the house saw Zhu Youdong coming in and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Zhu Youdong said: "Okay, you all go out." When several people heard Zhu Youdong's words, they all turned around and left, and when they left the room, they closed the door.
Li Xiao also heard the sound of the door closing, and his body trembled unconsciously. Zhu Youdong took the weighing rod on the table and walked in front of Li Xiao.
Li Xiao was wearing a hijab on his head, and he couldn't see Zhu Youdong, but saw a pair of boots walking in front of him. Usually, Li Xiao and Zhu Youdong have met many times, and they still do things together when they have time, and they don't see any restraint or shyness.
But now I can't see Zhu Youdong, but I feel my heart beating faster. For a while, I felt that I didn't know where to put my hands and feet. Due to the nervousness of the situation he didn't understand, Li Xiao felt that his breathing was becoming more and more rapid, as if he was about to suffocate.
Li Xiao clearly heard his heartbeat, and felt like his heart was about to pop out. Li Xiao didn't feel a little annoyed with herself, why was she so angry all of a sudden. Not only did I feel uncomfortable, but I also felt that my cheeks were hot, and my face felt like blood was about to ooze out.
Zhu Youdong looked at the helpless person in front of him, although he was wearing a hijab, Zhu Youdong still felt Li Xiao's nervousness. Zhu Youdong himself couldn't help but start to be a little nervous, this was the first time he got married in his two lives.
Looking at Li Xiao's hand clenched in his arms, the knuckles were a little white due to the force. Zhu Youdong stretched out the weighing rod tremblingly, and gently picked up Li Xiao's hijab.
Li Xiao looked at the scale rod that broke into his eyes and knew that this moment had come. From this moment on, she will be Zhu Youdong's wife, and no matter what the outcome is in the future, the two will always be together.
With the provocation of the hijab, Li Xiao's heart beat even harder, like a crazy deer crashing around. Li Xiao felt that his entire head was beginning to feel dizzy. Li Xiao held his head in his mouth, and at the moment when he raised his head, he raised his eyes and glanced at the person in front of him, and quickly lowered his eyes.
Zhu Youdong picked up Li Xiao's hijab and looked at Li Xiao in front of him. Wearing a phoenix crown and a xia veil, the whole person is like a fairy under the light of red candles. The eyes are blurred, like a mist that makes people sink into it. The powder face is full of spring, the smooth face is dyed with red glow, and the nose is in the red cloud, trembling slightly. The cherry mouth is under it, and it is even more delicate.
Zhu Youdong had also met Li Xiao a few times before, but they didn't observe carefully. Now there are only Zhu Youdong and Li Xiao here, and the dim red candlelight in the room suddenly makes people think about it. Zhu Youdong and Li Xiao were close at hand, breathing each other. Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, Zhu Youdong was stunned for a while.
Watching the hijab on his head be removed, although Li Xiao lowered his head slightly shyly, he still knew that Zhu Youdong was looking at him, but Li Xiao couldn't move now. had to wait for Zhu Youdong to take the hijab away before he could get up, and then the two drank the wine together, which could be regarded as completing the etiquette of the entire wedding.
Who knew that after Zhu Youdong unveiled the hijab, there was no movement. Li Xiao was anxious, but he couldn't urge Zhu Youdong, so he had to sit upright. Under Zhu Youdong's gaze, Li Xiao became more and more shy. Now I not only feel that my head is burning badly, but even my whole body feels like it is starting to heat up, like a pinprick in a needle.
Seeing that Zhu Youdong didn't move for a long time, Li Xiao plucked up his courage and raised his eyes to look at Zhu Youdong. Suddenly felt angry, Zhu Youdong actually looked at himself dementedly, and there was no movement at all. Li Xiao had no choice but to cough quietly, and then it took a lot of effort to twist his body.
Only then did Zhu Youdong react, he actually looked at Li Xiao and was fascinated. Immediately, Zhu Youdong's face was also hot, and he hurriedly took off the hijab on Li Xiao's head, turned around and put the hijab and the weighing rod on the table. Li Xiao saw that Zhu Youdong was in a hurry and panicked, and almost knocked over the cup on the table. Li Xiao's heart was also like drinking honey, after all, her husband was so obsessed with her.
After pouring the wine, Zhu Youdong took a deep breath, calmed his heartbeat, and then picked up two glasses of wine and walked in front of Li Xiao. Zhu Youdong said: "Madam, you and I drink this wine together." Li Xiao took the wine in Zhu Youdong's hand, and then drank it with Zhu Youdong.
After the two drank the wine, Zhu Youdong took the scissors again, and the two of them cut off a strand of hair respectively. Li Xiao tied the hair of the two together. Then wrap it in a red cloth and put it in a cabinet next to it. This is the final step of the wedding.
Of course, there are some more cumbersome steps, so we won't go into them. Anyway, it didn't take long, with a coquettish cry. There seems to be some movement, but there seems to be none. It's just that someone seems to be particularly hard, and he is actually out of breath in the middle of the night, and he is constantly accompanied by painful and cheerful voices, such as crying.
I don't know how long it took, but waited until the wind and rain in the room stopped. Everything was no longer floating, and after a while, the people inside finally began to speak. Li smiled and said, "Your Highness, what did you hesitate in the courtyard before?" Zhu Youdong was still in the mood to talk about the previous things at this time.
Zhu Youdong said: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking, how can I, Zhu Youdong, be able to go to a wife like you" Li Xiao lay in Zhu Youdong's chest and said, "Do you only have one wife?" He chuckled again.
Zhu Youdong was speechless for a while, and he couldn't say that he had two wives in front of Li Xiao. Seeing that Zhu Youdong didn't speak, Li smiled and said: "I know what you're worried about, are you afraid that the three of us will be unconvinced, no matter where you go, you will be said to be favoritism?" ”
Zhu Youdong didn't expect Li Xiao to understand everything, and immediately stroked Li Xiao's hair apologetically. Li smiled: "Actually, when I was engaged to you, I knew that you couldn't have only one wife, and my father also told me." This is a woman's life, even if she is strong. ”
Zhu Youdong said: "Why not, in fact, I didn't think there would be several wives." I don't even know what to do, it's obviously my own business, but I can't help myself. "This is true, Zhu Youdong in the past, thinking that he could have a daughter-in-law and be able to pass on the lineage. But is the current Zhu Youdong still the previous Zhu Youdong?
Li smiled: "You men, you are all eating in the bowl, looking at the pot, and thinking about other people's bowls." But whether what you say is true or not, I'm happy. But I also know that this world cannot be like this. ”
Zhu Youdong said: "Why is it impossible? You see that my Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty, isn't there only one queen in his life? Li smiled: "Yes, but he is also because of the lack of prosperity, and in the end, his own country has been changed to other people's." At that time, when Emperor Xiaozong was still alive, he was always used by ministers to talk about him. ”
Then Li Xiao smiled and said: "Look at me, forget when you talk and talk, you are not my alone." You have already married three concubines now, and what are you going to say later. As he spoke, he sat up and stretched, and suddenly felt a rush of pain. After waiting for a while, he frowned and said, "You just picked up something nice and told me." ”
Li Xiao didn't notice that the quilt had slid off his body. Seeing that Zhu Youdong didn't speak, he turned around and looked, only to find that Zhu Youdong's eyes were looking at his body in a daze. Immediately hugged his arm into his arms, then pulled the quilt to block it, and said angrily: "Go and go, what to see." ”
Then pushed Zhu Youdong out and said, "You get up quickly." Zhu Youdong said curiously: "I'm resting here tonight, where am I going?" I'll have to go on the expedition tomorrow. Li smiled: "It's because you want to go on an expedition, so you can't go to me anymore, where you want to go, you have to go." ”
Zhu Youdong suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "You have to make it clear, where am I going on this big night?" Li smiled at Zhu Youdong and said, "You still ask me, you were afraid of favoritism in the courtyard just now, but now you are left alone with me, what is this called." ”
Zhu Youdong was speechless for a moment, what is this called, why can't he live here anymore. Zhu Youdong said: "Why is this going on again, you are the concubine, what's wrong with you?" You're really driving me away. Li smiled: "If it is usual, forget it, but now the situation is different, you can't be here with me." ”
Zhu Youdong was confused, he didn't know which one Li Xiao came from, why he suddenly had to drive himself away. Seeing this, Li Xiao even changed his address to Zhu Youdong, and said: "Your Highness is going to go on an expedition tomorrow, Your Highness has been staying with me tonight, how can I go to see my two sisters tomorrow?" Li Xiao saw that Zhu Youdong was still not leaving, and threw a pillow at Zhu Youdong.
Then he said to Zhu Youdong: "Wasn't Your Highness afraid of favoritism before?" I can't monopolize Your Highness, so please go to your two sisters. ”
Zhu Youdong was stunned for a moment, how could there be such an operation. When Zhu Youdong saw Li Xiao, he became more and more excited. But Li Xiao frowned every time he made a bigger move. Zhu Youdong couldn't bear it when he saw it, and under Li Xiao's urging several times, he had no choice but to leave Li Xiao's room first.
Just after Zhu Youdong left Li Xiao's room, Li Xiao's calmness just now disappeared. The tears in his eyes could no longer be held back and slid down his cheeks. There are such generous women there, and the men who were still gentle with themselves just now are now going to be driven to other women by themselves.
Li Xiao lay alone in the quilt and cried, but she didn't dare to make a loud noise, and buried her head deep in the quilt. was afraid that the voice would come out, and Zhu Youdong heard it. All the grievances can only swallow in the stomach with tears, as if all the unwillingness is to be turned into silent tears and rubbed into the quilt.
Li Xiao's sadness, no one can know at this time. After Zhu Youdong got out of Li Xiao's room, he felt the cold outside and couldn't help sighing. Then he looked left and right, hesitated for a moment, and finally went to Tan Shuanghua.
Same wedding procedures, different experiences. It seems that happy laughter, accompanied by silent grievances, is always told in the bright moonlight. No one cares what's going on here, and no one wants to pay attention.
After a long time, a figure appeared in the courtyard again, and this time without hesitation, he went directly to the room on the other side. It was a busy night, but also a quiet night, but also a lively night.
Anyway, on the night of March 20, Zhu Youdong completed several major events, he was in charge of the country, and he got married. These are all preparations for the expedition of the army, and of course there are more than the Restoration Army that will go on the expedition.
Just when Zhu Youdong was busy, in the entire city of Chongqing, only Zhu Youdong was busy. But far away in the Forbidden City in Beijing, busy people are not as relaxed as Zhu Youdong.
