Chapter 315: Mistaken Life (Part II)
The day of the big wedding is fast approaching.
The sedan chair, the drum band, and the welcoming team came to Dazaifu from Chen Li's mansion, and Chen Li rode on a horse and walked in the forefront, wearing the groom's red wedding dress, even if he was unwilling in his heart, his face had to show some happiness.
Along the way, many ordinary people who watched the excitement praised Chen Li and Li Huanting for being a good match, talented and beautiful.
Dazaifu.
Li Huanting was happily asking Xiaoyu to comb her hair and wear a crown, thinking that she was finally going to marry Chen Li, and after becoming a parent, she would make Chen Li really like her no matter what.
"Be careful, the pearls on this crown are all set a little bit, but the gold is precious! I'm going to wear it all day!" Li Huanting said to Xiaoyu.
Xiaoyu smiled, carefully put on the crown for Li Huanting, and looked at the young lady in the mirror who was radiant, "Miss, I brought it to you, take a look, is it very good-looking!?" "
Li Huanting shook her head slightly, looking at herself in the mirror and being very satisfied, "Hmm! You're smart, you're wearing it well!"
At this time, Mrs. Li came in and saw her daughter who was about to leave the cabinet, she was happy and reluctant, and she couldn't help crying bitterly when she hugged her daughter.
In the end, Li Huanting comforted her mother, "Mother, don't be sad, the daughter will come back to visit her mother and father more often in the future, and after the daughter gets married, the mother and father should take care of their health!"
Mrs. Li nodded, took her daughter's hand, and put on a pair of white jade bracelets for her, "This is what your grandmother gave me when I got married, and now that you are married, I will give them to you, I hope you will love Chen Lien in the future!"
"Mother!" Li Huanting called her mother movingly.
"Madame, Miss, the greeting party is here!" A girl ran in and said.
"Mother put a red hijab on Wan Ting!"
"Good!"
Dressed in a red wedding dress, precious jewelry, and a red hijab, Li Huanting came to the lobby hall with the support of Mrs. Li and the girl Xiaoyu.
At this time, Li Dazai was instructing Chen Li that he must treat his daughter well, and that the husband and wife must get along with each other in the future.
"Chen Li! I'm going to hand over my daughter to you today, and you must treat her well!" Li Dazai said to Chen Li.
"Yes, Dazai-sama." Chen Li replied.
"Hey! Now that you and Huanting have become married, it's time to change your words!"
"Yes, father-in-law."
"Hmmm! That's right!"
While talking, the bride shouted, "The bride is here!"
Chen Li saw Li Huanting under the hijab, although he was not shocked in his heart, he still forced a trace of a smile on his face.
The two faced Li Dazai, and the Li couple bowed three times.
Chen Li took Li Huanting's hand, went out of Dazai's house, sent her into a large sedan chair carried by sixteen people, and rode on his horse, said goodbye to Dazai's family, and rushed to his mansion.
When they returned to the mansion, they were full of friends, and even Chen Xian personally brought Xiao Mingyue to drink the wedding wine of the two.
The civil and military officials were all present, and everyone prepared generous gifts.
First, in order to please the emperor, and secondly, in order to curry favor with Chen Li, they all know that he is a celebrity next to the emperor and the county lord.
Even getting married, from beginning to end, was personally handled by the emperor, and some people who usually had no friendship also rushed to make friends at this time.
At the suggestion of Xi Niang, the two bowed to heaven and earth in front of everyone, and bowed to the emperor and the county lord, and then Li Huanting was surrounded by the maids and mothers-in-law in the house and returned to the new house.
Chen Li stayed to entertain the guests.
"Your Majesty, county lord, thank you for coming to the wedding banquet of Chen and Huanting!" Chen Li thanked the two again.
"Hurry up, you are the widow's younger brother, you have grown up with the widow since you were a child, and now you have become a relative, of course the widow has to come and see it for himself. I'm going to have to treat Miss Wanting more in the future, you know?!" Chen Xian said to Chen Li.
"It's Your Majesty, the minister remembers!"
Xiao Mingyue also took out a pair of concentric knots from the box and handed them to Chen Li, "This pair of concentric knots is what I specially asked for for you and Huanting in Jiming Temple, and I wish you husband and wife to be united forever!"
Chen Li took the box in Xiao Mingyue's hand and thanked Xiao Mingyue: "Thank you to the county lord!"
Chen Li and Xiao Mingyue drank a glass of wine and left Chen Li's mansion.
Before leaving, Chen Li instructed the other ministers not to get Chen Li drunk, and not to mistakenly enter the cave room.
When the ministers heard this, they didn't dare to pour too much wine on Chen Li.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, he urged him to go into the cave room, but Chen Li didn't want to go back to the cave room at all, he would rather get himself drunk, so he toasted people one after another, one minister after another.
The ministers all felt that Chen Li was really enthusiastic, so they persuaded him to go to the cave room early and drink his wedding wine.
In the marriage room, Li Huanting's neck hurt from being pressed by the heavy headdress and tiara, so she asked Xiaoyu to see when Chen Li would come over, so that she could lift her hijab and take off the heavy headdress.
Xiaoyu quietly went to the front hall and saw Chen Lizheng drinking one cup after another with the ministers, and while she was anxious for her young lady, she was angry that her uncle was greedy for a cup and didn't understand the amorous feelings.
"It's really, it's obviously a big day, but you actually snubbed our young lady! It's excessive!" Xiaoyu said to Chen Li with disgust.
But in public, he couldn't pull his uncle back to the cave room, so he had to sneak back quietly and tell Li Huanting the truth.
Li Huanting listened, frowned, lifted half of her hijab, and said to Xiaoyu: "What? You said my uncle was still drinking with someone? Those people are really, knowing that it is my big day, they actually poured my husband's wine! That's not true!"
Xiao Yu said with some embarrassment: "The slave and maid looked at it, it seems that my uncle insisted on drinking with those ministers, not those people who forced my uncle to drink!"
When Li Huanting heard this, she was even more angry and stomped her feet and complained, "Okay, you Chen Li, don't come to lift my red hijab, you are willing to drink with others?!
Xiaoyu hurriedly comforted Li Huanting, "Miss, don't be angry, maybe my uncle wants to take this opportunity to have a good relationship with the ministers!" Let's wait! My uncle will definitely come!"
Li Huanting nodded, "That's the only way!" You can send someone to take a look in a while, and if your uncle drinks too much, bring your uncle back quickly!"
Chen Li really wanted to get himself drunk on purpose, because he didn't want to enter the cave room with Li Huanting at all, and if he was drunk, he didn't have to do anything to her!
Out of sight, out of mind!
Therefore, I am afraid that I am still sober, cup after cup, and the people next to me will not be able to stop it.
In the end, it was the ministers who were interested, and they all looked for opportunities to leave one after another.
That night, Chen Li was so drunk that he did not go back to his new room, but slept in the study.
And Li Huanting's wedding night was to sleep alone in the new house all night, lift the hijab by herself, and take off her headdress.
When I woke up in the morning, I didn't care that I hadn't freshened up, so I came to the study angrily and asked Chen Li, "Chen Li, why are you doing this to me?!"
And Chen Li looked at Li Huanting with sleepy eyes, and just said lightly: "I drank too much yesterday, I'm sorry!"
In just eight words, it was like biting cold water poured into Li Huanting's heart, which made her have a very bad premonition.
"You did it on purpose!" Li Huanting looked at Chen Li, her eyes full of resentment.
"It's not! I just drank too much. Chen Li still replied lightly.
Then Chen Li got up and prepared to go to the barracks.
"Stop!"
"Lady, what else do you want to do? Although we became relatives, I still have to go to the barracks!" Chen Li turned his head and said to Li Huanting.
"That'...... Will you still drink tonight? Li Huanting asked Chen Li with some embarrassment and anger.
Chen Li smiled and walked up to Li Huanting and whispered to her, "Don't worry!"
Then he walked straight out.
Li Huanting smiled secretly, thinking that Chen Li's words were hinting to herself that Forestry would definitely come back to accompany her.
Then he freshened up and dressed up all day, but in the evening, the subordinate opened a newspaper and said, "There is something in the barracks, and the general cannot come back tonight!"
The subordinates in the house began to talk secretly, saying that Chen Li didn't like Li Huanting at all, so Li Huanting felt very ashamed, but she didn't accept her fate!
She didn't believe that with her own qualifications and talents, she couldn't get Chen Li's sincerity!
"Miss, forget it! Don't get along with yourself, don't listen to people chewing their tongues at night, my uncle may really have something, wait a few days, my uncle may not be busy!"
Xiaoyu comforted Li Huanting.
Li Huanting took off a hairpin on her head and slapped it on the table vigorously, "I don't believe it!" He'll do this to me forever! He's just annoyed that I used a scheme to marry him, so what, I'm married, so I won't be afraid that he won't like me!"
"What Miss said is that Miss is smart and beautiful, and my uncle will be tempted sooner or later!"
Xiaoyu said to Li Huanting with a smile.
And Chen Li would rather live in the barracks than go back to live with Li Huanting.
So the days of the round house have been delayed again and again.
Li Huanting's mentality is also good, knowing that Chen Li has no other woman, as long as he seizes the opportunity, he will definitely make him change his mind and turn his hundred steels into his own finger twisting!
Later, he simply stewed chicken soup every day, and then sent it to Chen Li in the barracks, and there was no one in the barracks who did not praise Li Huanting for her virtuousness in front of Chen Li.
After a long time, Chen Li couldn't continue to sleep in the barracks, so he had to go back to his general's mansion.
It's just that I deliberately read and read very late every night, either sleeping in the study, or waiting until Li Huanting falls asleep, and then goes to sleep.
The attitude towards Li Huanting is also lukewarm, she will be more enthusiastic in front of people, and she will not say a word to her later.
Li Huanting still takes gentle care of him, and has always held back her dissatisfaction, trying to get his sincerity.
