Volume 2 Ji Hui Ningdu Chapter 318 Xiao Xuan's Secrets
Yue Panlong, as usual, went to the Zhongshan Palace, ready to find Ming Yuyao.
When he first arrived at the palace, he thought that he had gone to the wrong place, because several servants at the door were setting up ladders and sticking the characters, red lanterns and couplets, and the whole Ming family was beaming.
Well? Is there any happy event for the Ming family? Yue Panlong thought to himself, he hadn't heard Ming Yuyao talk about it.
So he stepped forward, stopped a servant who was pasting a couplet, and asked, "Who are you?" Is there any happy event? ”
The servant turned his head and saw that it was Yue Panlong, he naturally knew it, so he said, "It turned out to be Yue Daxia, don't you know yet?" Didn't the princess tell you? ”
When Yue Panlong heard his words, he sighed in his heart, and secretly felt that he had some bad feelings.
He understands what the word "dowry" means, which means that someone in the palace is going to get married, and this happy event is not a marriage!
"What do you say? I haven't seen her in days! Yue Panlong said.
"Oh, it's no wonder that the princess has been a little busy lately, after all, she has to choose a dowry and prepare clothes." He said with a smile.
He didn't know why Ming Yuyao would marry someone all of a sudden, and he didn't know who he would marry, and more importantly, no one seemed to say anything to him. After all, the Ming clan still regarded him as an outsider, and he thought about it and felt a sense of loss in his heart.
"Brother Heng, do you know where your Yuyao is?" Yue Panlong bumped into Ming Heng head-on and asked.
There are only people of the princess level in the Ming Clan's palace who can have such a big battle.
But he knows that three of the princesses of the Ming family have already married, and one princess has not yet reached the age of marriage, and only the nineteenth princess Ming Yuyao is waiting for the boudoir.
"Brother Yue has something to do with Yuyao?" Ming Heng said, "Today is Yu Yao's big day, if Brother Yue doesn't have anything important, don't bother her, right?" ”
"I have something to see Yu Yao, please Brother Heng take me to see her, is it okay?" Yue Panlong naturally didn't want to give up, he wanted to ask who Ming Yuyao was marrying.
"Yu Yao? I just met her this morning, she's been in her room all the time, but she doesn't seem to be in a very good mood, and when I ask her, she won't say, it's weird! Ming Heng knew that Yue Panlong had already begun to enter the game, so he pretended to be very flat and said casually.
Yue Panlong still wanted to ask clearly, he hadn't been to Ming Yuyao's room, so naturally he didn't know which room her room was, so he asked again, "Can you take me to find your Yuyao?" ”
At this time, a maid ran over and opened the door, and Yue Panlong recognized this maid as her personal maid, named Ling'er.
"Ling'er, why are you here? Is Princess Yuyao here? Yue Panlong asked.
"Okay!" Ming Heng said, and then led him into Ming Yuyao's courtyard. "Na, this courtyard is Yuyao's courtyard, you can go......"
Yue Panlong walked into the courtyard, came to the door with the big red word "happy", and knocked on the door.
There was a dullness inside, and after a while, Mingmu's voice sounded again: "You tell Yue Daxia that Yu Yao is very busy now and has no time to see him, let him go first!" ”
In fact, when she said it so loudly, Yue Panlong could obviously hear it, and it seemed that even she didn't want to see herself.
"Ling'er, who is it?" A voice in the room asked, and Yue Panlong could tell that it was Ming Yuyao's mother's voice.
"Madam, it's Yue Daxia!" Ling'er replied towards the house.
She was particularly beautiful in this outfit, with a golden hairpin on her head and a little blush on her face, but these gorgeous makeup could not hide her red eyes.
"What are you doing here?" Her voice was hoarse, and she had been washing her face with tears all these days, and her voice was hoarse.
"Yu Yao, can we meet and talk?" Yue Panlong didn't wait for Ling'er to chase away the guests, and shouted into the house.
Then there was a sound of sorrow, and I saw Ming Yuyao, who was wearing a big red robe bridal costume, walk out.
After half a sound, she raised her head flat, sorted out her expression, and forcibly squeezed out a smile: "Thank you Yue Daxia, if there is nothing wrong, please go back!" ”
Yue Panlong was very uncomfortable with the "Yue Daxia" in her mouth, she used to call herself "Brother Yue", his heart seemed to be blocked by something, and after a long time, he said: "Where did you marry?" Can you tell me about it? ”
"I ...... I heard that you are about to get married, so I'll ...... I'll come and see you. Yue Panlong was hesitant, he didn't know what to say, so he held back such a sentence for a long time.
A look of disappointment flashed on Ming Yuyao's face, the tears in her eyes were about to flow out, in order not to let Yue Panlong see it, she tilted her head slightly upwards to prevent tears from flowing down.
"No need! It doesn't matter to you where I marry! Please come back! With a flick of her hand, the long red sleeved robe with a touch of wind flung on Yue Panlong's face.
"Yuyao, I'..... We're friends too, you're ......."
"What? Does Yue Daxia still plan to wait for me to get married? She sneered and said.
"I ...... I just want to see how you're doing. ”
"Yuyao, listen to my explanation......"
"Don't call me Yuyao! We didn't know each other so well, and we ...... in the future Also, please ...... Don't show up in front of me again. After Ming Yuyao finished speaking, she turned around and walked into her room, leaving only Yue Panlong with a lost face and at a loss.
"I think I'm sincere with you, you know I like you, but you're just indifferent! What did you say when I asked you if you would like to marry me? Her voice gradually increased, and the tears in her eyes flowed uncontrollably.
"I can't marry you! Look at Yue Panlongyue Hero, how righteous and awe-inspiring you are saying, and how clear of conscience you are! Since you don't want to marry me, what do I have to do with you? The resentment and anger in her heart seemed to have reached its peak, and there was a deep hatred in her tone.
The winter solstice, the south solstice, the short solstice, the long shadow of the sun.
The frost blows on people's faces, and the single clothes are suddenly tightened to resist the winter wind. The cold wind blew the old trees in the yard with withered leaves, making a whirring sound.
Ming Yuyao, who returned to the room, couldn't hold back any longer, lay on her bed, and cried heartbreakingly.
"Yuyao, cry! It's good to cry, after tonight, you will be a member of the Xiao family, don't think about it anymore. The mother patted her on the back and said with some distress.
The wind blew Yue Panlong's lost heart, and he was like a defeated rooster, with his head bowed, and left this small courtyard.
He kept thinking about Ming Yuyao's words in his mind.
Yue Panlong raised his head, the sky was shrouded in dark clouds, and there was a slight drizzle in the wind.
Oh, the wind is blowing.
Ming Yuyao's words made him speechless, he came to her because he had a lot to say, but when he saw her standing in front of him in a big red robe, he couldn't say a word from his mouth.
"What should I do? Why do I feel heartache? I've always treated Yuyao as a sister, shouldn't I be happy and blessed when my sister gets married? Yue Panlong asked himself over and over again in his heart, and when he didn't know it, Ming Yuyao had quietly stood in a very important position in his heart.
"I can't marry you! Look at Yue Panlongyue Hero, how righteous and awe-inspiring you are saying, and how clear of conscience you are! Since you don't want to marry me, what do I have to do with you? ”
"And what do I have to do with you?" He will never forget the look in his eyes when she said this, ruthless? Pain? And hatred?
"His Royal Highness Prince Heng, I think I didn't pay attention to the matter, and I hope to forgive me." Yue Panlong raised his head and saw Ming Heng's angry face, and said apologetically.
"What do you want? You've already met Yu Yao, right? Ming Heng saw that he was coming from the direction of Ming Yuyao's courtyard, so he asked.
He lowered his head and walked out in disappointment, not wanting to bump into a person on his head.
"Can you look at the dots when you walk?" Ming Heng was about to meet his sister at this time, after all, he still hoped that she could marry happily, but he didn't expect to be bumped into by Yue Panlong just when he arrived at the door, he was very unhappy.
"Your Highness, Jade ...... Who is the princess married to? How could it be so sudden? Yue Panlong didn't answer his words, but instead asked this question that had been puzzled. How else would he answer?
"You don't know?" Ming Heng couldn't help but feel a little funny, but he couldn't laugh out loud, after all, he had to be tricked.
"I've seen it."
"How is Yu Yao feeling? Have you ever lost your temper? He tried to ask, his sister's temperament was very clear to him, although she usually liked to play a little temperament, but she was very elder, so no one dared to contradict the decision made by the King of Zhongshan. Although Ming Yuyao listened to her father's words, her mood was naturally not much better.
"And...... Yu Yao has also reached the age of getting married, and if she doesn't get married, she won't be able to get married. The Xiao family is a good family business, and Yu Yao will definitely be happy if she marries her. ”
"No! Yu Yao can marry anyone, but she can't marry Xiao Xuan! Yue Panlong said objectively.
In the past few days, Yue's mansion has been busy up and down, so he has to hear about it, how did he know that Yue Panlong has been busy tracking down the culprit of the burning down of the mansion these days, and he didn't care about what happened to Ming Yuyao at all, and he never thought that the person who burned down the mansion was in front of him.
Seeing Yue Pan Long Mu Ne, it seemed that he really didn't know, Ming Heng had no choice but to say helplessly: "On the day the mansion was burned down, Xiao Xuan and Xiao Duwei of the City Patrol Division happened to pass by and saved Yu Yao. Father saw that Xiao Xuan was talented, and he also liked Yu Yao very much, plus last time I asked you if you would like to marry Yu Yao, but you didn't agree. ”
"What you said is true?" Ming Heng knew that he had found the Xiao family, and he was very excited, but he pretended to have a puzzled look.
"Yes, this has something to do with the Xiao family!"
"Why?" Ming Heng asked, in fact, he already knew in his heart that he had deliberately led the clues to the burning of the mansion to the Xiao family these days, so that Yue Panlong could transfer the target of his suspicion to Xiao Xuan's body, and only in this way could Yue Panlong be stimulated to the maximum.
"I found some clues, the person who set fire to the house may have something to do with the Xiao family!" Yue Panlong said.
"No evidence, no use." Ming Heng shook his head, "Father has already made a decision, if you can't come up with evidence, this family affair can't be stopped." ”
"I ......"
"What about the evidence?"
"Evidence...... I didn't. Yue Panlong said helplessly, he just found some clues related to the Xiao family, but this could not be used as evidence.
He really couldn't come up with evidence, and he couldn't stop this family business, and he suddenly felt a little frustrated.
Ming Heng let go of him, Yue Panlong's whole person was stunned, he had no way to get Ming Yuyao not to marry, and he couldn't make her go against Ming's arrangement.
"What are you?" Ming Heng grabbed Yue Panlong's collar, "If this matter really has something to do with the Xiao family, it is to push Yu Yao into the fire pit." Do you ...... Aren't you going to do something yet? ”
Yue Panlong's face was decadent, "I'...... Nothing can be done. ”
"Yu Yao likes you, I know that. So much has happened between you, and you have experienced a lot of life and death. I don't believe you have no feelings for Yu Yao! Since, you also have her in your heart, when your father asked you if you were willing to marry Yuyao, why did you refuse so simply? Ming Heng's words were like a knife piercing his heart.
"I have Yuyao in my heart?" Yue Panlong asked himself, her figure had never faded in his mind.
"What? There is nothing to say, have you decided to ask Yuyao not to marry Xiao Xuan? ”
"I ......"
When the wind picks up, the rain is falling down, and many people are already holding up oil-paper umbrellas on the streets.
On the main street outside the Ming Palace, on a tall horse, a handsome young man wore a purple and gold crown with a bundle of hair on his head, a festive Su embroidered red brocade robe, a colorful silk white jade belt tied around his waist, and a small court boot with a blue satin white bottom, riding on the horse, with an unstoppable smile on his face.
When I first saw her, she fell from the attic, dressed in a blue and silver hundred butterfly flower dress, like a fairy in the sky, falling to the earth, not to be desecrated. However, her personality was completely different from her own image, which made Ye Feng curious, and gradually, he discovered that Yue Jiancom, a woman's strong and unreasonable appearance, hid a fragile heart.
While he felt sorry for her, this woman gradually walked into his heart, and when he learned that she was buried in the fire, how he regretted it, and hated why he was not by her side.
"This formation is not small, see if the groom is dressed, it is the dress of our Ningdu big family to marry."
After the welcoming team came to the palace, it was followed by a large group of onlookers, and it seemed that the momentum was very strong from a distance.
The rain was not heavy, and he did not hold an umbrella, allowing the light rain to fall on him. A few small servants were also dressed in festive costumes, carrying a large sedan chair closely behind him, and some people were beating gongs and blowing sheng, and the sound of musical instruments resounded throughout the street, and the whole line was very long, and the red color added a bit of festivity to this dull rainy day, attracting many passers-by to watch.
"Oh, whose greeting team is this, it seems to be to Zhongshan Palace!"
"Oops! The greeting is coming! I'm going to have to take a good look! When the maids heard the sound of drums and firecrackers outside, they were as happy as a New Year's child, and trotted out of the guest house.
After a while, they trotted back, dancing in front of Yue Panlong, and then said excitedly: "Yue Daxia! Do you know Yue Daxia? I see the pony! So handsome! ”
"Uncle is here!" A subordinate of the palace shouted loudly into the Yue Mansion after seeing the welcoming procession, and ran in.
Without his shouting, the musical instruments and festive sounds of the welcoming procession were so loud that they had already been transmitted to the palace. It also passed to the ears of Yue Panlong, who looked lost.
At this time, Xiao Xuan had already dismounted and walked into the lobby of the palace, and the king of Zhongshan took a group of people from the Ming clan to sit on the lobby.
"Xiao Xuan see the king!" Xiao Xuan stepped forward and knelt down in front of the King of Zhongshan and said respectfully.
When Yue Panlong heard his words, his face darkened, his eyes looked at her coldly, and he said, "What did you say?!" ”
The maid was stunned for a moment, the excitement just now was extinguished by his cold words, she looked at Yue Panlong carefully with a suspicious expression, and then said, "I didn't say anything......
"Ling'er, please bring Yu Yao out! Lord Xiao can't wait! King Zhongshan said to the maid beside him.
Then, Ming Yuyao's mother helped her out, she was wearing a red wedding dress, which looked particularly beautiful.
"Good, good! Xiao Xuan, you are the groom today, get up! King Zhongshan had a smile on his face, and looked at Yue Panlong with a lost face outside the house, knowing in his heart that Yue Panlong had already entered the game.
"Thank you, your lord! Your Majesty, Xiao Xuan carried a sedan chair eight times today to marry Her Royal Highness the Princess, please ask the king to agree! ”
In the middle of the sideburns, there is a lotus flower with a beaded bead, a lotus flower in full bloom on each side, a pearl coral tassel and a jasper pendant that hangs down and twists into two strands, a pair of red gold mandarin ducks in the center are hugged left and right, and the pearl jade is the bottom, which is very dazzling.
Xiao Xuan looked at her bridal makeup at this time, and the whole person was stunned, a hundred times more amazing than the Ming Yuyao he saw when he rescued her.
Ming's family is a royal family, and the wedding dress is particularly exquisite, first of all, the double-layer Guangya large-sleeved shirt with red makeup, the edge is embroidered with a mandarin duck pomegranate pattern, and the chest is buckled with a red gold inlaid ruby collar button, covered with a magenta double peacock embroidered cloud gold tassel Xia Xuan, the peacock has a tactful and docile state, as if to come to life.
The lower body is peach satin color embroidery, double flower and bird pattern depicting silver twelve immortal skirts, the skirt is embroidered with a hundred sons and hundred blessings pattern, the tail skirt is long and swaying three feet to the ground, the edge is rolled inch long gold thread, inlaid with five-color rice beads, and there is a sound when walking.
"It's okay, you can take Yuyao away."
At this time, Xiao Xuan was already proud of the spring breeze, and the moment he saw Ming Yuyao come out in his wedding dress, his heart had already flown to the sky, he was really a lucky person, and he was also glad that his "nosy" saved Ming Yuyao, so that he had today's happiness.
"Lord Xiao?" Looking at the stupid Xiao Xuan, the King of Zhongshan called him.
"Ahh Your Majesty, the minister has lost his temper! Xiao Xuan hurriedly said.
"Lady, carry you on the sedan chair for your husband!" He said to Ming Yuyao, then turned his back to her and motioned for her to climb on his back.
There was no joy on her face, she scanned the whole hall left and right, there was no figure she was familiar with, and a wave of loss rose from the bottom of her heart.
"Xiao Xuan, what are you still doing in a daze? The auspicious time has arrived, hurry up and carry Yuyao on the sedan chair! Princess Zhongshan said to him with a smile on her face.
"Oh! Be! Xiao Xuan said and walked in front of Ming Yuyao.
Ming Yuyao stepped forward and gently lay on Xiao Xuan's back, and then everyone in the room laughed and laughed.
As the sound of musical instruments sounded, Xiao Xuan put her on his back and took the first step.
"Yuyao, what are you still looking at? Why don't you go soon? It's almost time to go! King Zhongshan saw that Xiao Xuan's posture had been posing for a long time, and she was still there, and said a little unhappily.
"Go ahead! He won't come. Ming Heng patted her hand lightly and whispered in her ear.
Soon, everyone followed them out of the lobby, across the bluestone road, and all the way to the door.
"Look! The bride is out! ”
"The groom carries the bride on the sedan chair!" The subordinates of the palace sang loudly, and the people around them made way for a passage.
Ming Yuyao's body is very light, Xiao Xuan is a martial artist, and it is not difficult for him to carry it.
"It's a blessing to think that Xiao Shi! Married to such a woman! ”
"The princess marrying into the Xiao family is also a good match! Lord Xiao Xuan is the captain of the city patrol in charge of the Pujia Gate! I sincerely wish them a hundred years of happiness! ”
"Wow! The bride is so beautiful! ”
"It's worthy of being a princess, she looks like a fairy, not only is her appearance so outstanding, but there is also a heroic righteousness between her eyebrows!" An onlooker who was blindly touting Ming Yuyao's sad face was blown into a heroic righteousness, and there was no one left.
"Yes, the princess is also a loyal and filial person! However, these two are not far apart, so you can come back more when you have time! ”
The people around saw Ming Yuyao on his back and kept looking back, and they all estimated that she was reluctant to let her mother's family go.
The envy, praise, and blessings of the people around him made Xiao Xuan a little fluttering.
"The bride is still looking back, she is reluctant to her mother's house!"
"Boom!"
"Wait!" Just as Xiao Xuan was about to put Ming Yuyao on his back in the sedan chair, an inappropriate voice sounded accompanied by a muffled thunder.
Ming Yuyao never saw the figure she was concerned about, and when she heard the voices of the people around her, she turned her head slightly, slowly closed her eyes, and a tear slipped from the corner of her eye.
"The auspicious time has come! The bride is on the sedan chair! When Xiao Xuan carried her to the sedan chair, the little maid on the side sang loudly.
"You let go!" Ming Yuyao was pulled out of the sedan chair by him and shook his hand away, but she found that she was just a weak woman, and she couldn't break free from the hand of Yue Panlong, who was strong in martial arts.
"Yue Panlong, what are you going to do?" With an angry look on his face, King Zhongshan stepped forward and asked.
This sound of "and slow" was accompanied by a thunderclap that interrupted the atmosphere of watching the bride get on the sedan chair, and the people who played the sheng and drums also put down the instruments in their hands.
Everyone stared at a man in a blue brocade shirt who came out of the courtyard at some point, he quickly walked up to Xiao Xuan, pushed him away, and then grabbed Ming Yuyao who was already sitting on the sedan chair with his right hand, and said, "Follow me!" ”
"Who is this? How did such a person come out? ”
"He still grabbed the princess's hand and didn't let go, could it be that he was trying to rob the kiss? The happy event of the dignified Ming Wangfu was actually destroyed by him! ”
"Yue Daxia, what do you mean by this?" The princess walked over slowly and asked.
"Yu Yao can't marry him!" Yue Panlong's eyes were very firm, and he looked directly at the princess, looking like he had a clear conscience.
"It's interesting now, this is Zhongshan Wang Ming's family, the Xiao family is not easy to mess with, this sudden appearance of robbing relatives, who gave him the courage?"
"I bet he's going to end badly! Do you want to bet with me? ”
"You don't have to think about it, right? This happy day was ruined by his sudden appearance, how could the Ming family and the Xiao family let him go so easily? ”
The onlookers around pointed and discussed.
"Yue Daxia, I know that you are people in the rivers and lakes, and you are not confined to small sections. But there are also rules in Ningdu. Yu Yao's marriage to the Xiao family is a foregone conclusion, but you are blocking it, what do you want? King Zhongshan stepped forward and asked.
