Chapter 108: Marriage by Decree
Ah Qi immediately arched his hand, and responded with his mouth: "Don't worry, the prince can rest assured, his subordinates will definitely be optimistic about His Royal Highness the county lord, and will never let her go out for half a step." β
"Hmm!"
Prince Jing nodded, then turned around and walked away, no matter how Murong Qianqian persuaded him behind, Prince Jing didn't look back.
Because he knows what kind of powerful character Xiao Jingcong is, if he offends him, I am afraid that there will be no more peaceful days in Jingwangfu.
So he had no choice but to make this decision, even if he loved his daughter no matter how much he loved him, he couldn't continue to let her come nonsense. Otherwise, it will definitely bring endless disasters to the Jingwang Mansion in the future.
After Prince Jing left, Murong Qianqian didn't take his words to heart at all, and still walked outside the mansion.
But he didn't take two steps before he was stopped by the guard Ah Qi.
"Ah Qi, what are you doing? Want to rebel? β
Murong Qianqian's eyes widened, and she shouted angrily at the guard Ah Qi.
"The subordinates don't dare!"
Ah Qi hurriedly knelt on the ground, "His Royal Highness the County Lord, the prince has an order, and he must not leave the house, His Royal Highness the County Lord should go back to the house!" β
"The prince's order is an order, isn't the order of the county lord an order?"
Murong Qianqian pointed to Ah Qi in front of her, and asked coldly, "Ah Qi, this county lord asks you, whose guard are you?" β
"Subordinate...... Naturally, your highness the county lord is your bodyguard......"
"Okay, the county lord now orders you to get out of the way!"
"My subordinates will forgive me!" Ah Qi was still kneeling on the ground, not moving at all, and had no intention of getting out of the way at all.
Murong Qianqian suddenly became angry, and punched and kicked Ah Qi.
While slapping his mouth, he scolded bitterly: "You dead minion! Get out of the way! I'm going out, I'm going to see Brother Jingcong! I can't let him marry that little slut! β
"Your Royal Highness the County Lord, it is the emperor's holy decree for Prince Xiao to marry Miss Zixi, even if you go, it won't help."
"I don't care! You...... Get out of the way...... Get out of the way! Get out of the way! β
However, no matter how Murong Qianqian beat the guard Ah Qi, Ah Qi still knelt in front of her and refused to back down a single step.
Murong Qianqian's hands and feet were numb and sore until the end, and she felt aggrieved for a while, and cried out with a "wow".
"Brother Jingcong...... Brother Jingcong......"
β¦β¦
On June 28, the twenty-seventh year of Yucheng, the Zhenguo General's Mansion was full of lights, covered with red silk jokes, and the guests from all sides were full!
In the wedding room, Yan Zixi sat in front of the dresser, looking at herself in the bronze mirror, looking at the bright red wedding dress, as if she was dreaming.
Am I really going to marry Jingcong? Everything was so sudden!
"Xiaomei? Xiaomei, are you there? Yan Zixi hurriedly poked her neck and called out a few times outside the room.
Xiaomei hurriedly walked in, served around Yan Zixi, and asked strangely: "Xiaomei is here!" Sister Zixi, did you call me? β
"Xiaomei...... I...... I'm so nervous, what should I do...... Am I dreaming? β
Yan Zixi touched her hot face and excitedly told Xiaomei what was on her mind.
Xiaomei hurriedly relieved on the side, "Sister Zixi, getting married is a major event in life, and it's normal to be nervous." You take a deep breath and let yourself relax! β
Yan Zixi tried to take a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, then inhaled again, and exhaled again...... After repeating this a few times, Yan Zixi still shook her head and complained anxiously.
"No, Xiaomei, it's useless, I'm still very nervous...... Very scared ......."
"Goo-goo-goo-goo......"
With this colleague, Yan Zixi's stomach also screamed.
After all, before dawn, Yan Zixi was woken up by her subordinates, and then she didn't eat anything, so she dressed up.
It's night, Yan Zixi still hasn't eaten a single rice, and her stomach is already hungry.
"Oh, no, I'm hungry too, Xiaomei, go find me something to eat!" Yan Zixi ordered the maid Xiaomei again.
When Xiaomei heard this, she immediately waved her hand, "No, Sister Zixi!" You can't eat yet! β
"Why can't you eat it?! This kind of feudal bad habit should be eliminated as soon as possible! Yan Zixi scolded indignantly.
Xiaomei was also helpless, but she didn't dare to disobey, so she could only comfort her with kind words on the side.
"Forget it, you can't eat anything, you can always drink water, right? Go, go and pour me a glass of water, I'm going to quench my thirst...... No, it's hunger! β
Yan Zixi is bitter in her heart, she is a good marriage, why should she suffer such a sin!
Hey, if I had known that, I should have eaten more last night...... Well, at least half a roast goose should be eaten!
Mistakes, mistakes!
Just when Yan Zixi was secretly scolding herself in her heart, Xiaomei had already hurriedly poured a glass of white water and sent it over.
"Huh? It's really cool and white, huh? Yan Zixi looked at the glass of water in Xiaomei's hand, and immediately didn't want to drink it.
"Sister Zixi, aren't you thirsty and want to drink water? By the way, Xi Niang just ordered, saying that it was you, even if you drink water, you can only take a small sip gently to prevent the makeup from being damaged...... "Xiaomei handed over the cup, and told Yan Zixi what Xi Niang had just ordered.
ββ¦β¦β
Yan Zixi could only take a sip of water when she heard it, and she was immediately angry.
"Why is it so troublesome to get married in this ancient world? Even if you don't let you eat something, don't you drink water to make people drink it? Alas, if I had known, I would not have married, and I don't know how good it is to be happy alone......"
"Ah, Sister Zixi, you can't talk nonsense!" Xiaomei was a little flustered when she heard this, and hurriedly advised Yan Zixi.
"I know, I just complained......" Yan Zixi frowned and muttered in a low voice.
Seeing this, Xiaomei hurriedly approached Yan Zixi, and then took out a piece of steamed bun wrapped in a handkerchief from her arms and handed it over, "Sister Zixi, give you this!" β
When Yan Zixi saw the big white steamed bun wrapped in the handkerchief, stars immediately popped up in her eyes, and she almost snatched the steamed bun in Xiaomei's hand with a snatch, and then took a big bite.
"Hmm, Xiaomei, I love you so much! Or do you know me...... Ahem...... Uh-huh......"
"Sister Zixi, eat slowly, be careful of choking!"
"Xiaomei, did you just take one? Is there anything else hidden on your body? Most of the steamed buns were quickly eaten by Yan Zixi, but her stomach was not full, Yan Zixi frowned and asked.
Xiaomei shook her head again and again, "No, no, no!" It's just that the slave stole it from the back kitchen! If the bride finds out, she will definitely kill me! β
"She dares! With this princess here, no one dares to bully you! Yan Zixi ate the steamed buns, was in a good mood, patted her chest, and said to Xiaomei with a smile.
While he was talking, the door of the wedding room seemed to be pushed open by someone.
"Oh no, no, it's not good, the auspicious time has come, the prince is coming!"
Xiaomei was so frightened that she panicked, and quickly found rouge lip blush to make up for Yan Zixi.
"Sister Zixi, don't eat it, the prince is coming in!"
When Yan Zixi heard this, she hurriedly stuffed all the remaining steamed buns into her mouth, and then covered her hijab.
Xiaomei removed the water cup and stood aside respectfully, waiting for Xiao Jingcong and them to enter the house.
Soon, Xiao Jingcong led the bride and a group of maids in.
Seeing Yan Zixi sitting on the bed, covered with a red hijab, Xi Niang immediately took off a gold rod from the tray held by the maid behind her, and respectfully taught it to Xiao Jingcong's hand, and said with a smile in her mouth.
"Lord Xiao, this auspicious time has come, quickly lift the princess's red hijab! Don't miss out! β
Xiao Jingcong smiled at the corner of her mouth, took the golden rod handed over by the bride, and then slowly walked to the bed, came to Yan Zixi's side, and lifted the red hijab covering Yan Zixi's head mountain little by little.
Yan Zixi's beautiful face with heavy makeup slowly showed in front of Xiao Jingcong, and she was a little embarrassed to be looked at by Xiao Jingcong so closely, Yan Zixi's pretty face flushed, and she lowered her head shyly.
"Haha, lift the big red cover, a love of affection! Prince Xiao, Princess Xiao, you can drink the wine. β
After the red hijab was lifted, Xi Niang hurriedly took the golden rod from Xiao Jingcong's hand, and said with a smile.
Xiaomei took the tray from the other maid's hand and delivered the wine to Xiao Jingcong and Yan Zixi.
Yan Zixi frowned slightly, looked at the wine in the tray, and then at Xiao Jingcong, and hesitated in her mouth.
"Jingcong, do you really want to drink?"
"Of course, how can there be less wine in marriage!" Xiao Jingcong snorted, then picked up the wine glass in the tray and sent a glass to Yan Zixi.
Yan Zixi carefully took the wine, and then handed it over to Xiao Jingcong's wrist.
"I have drunk Heyu wine, and I have been in love for a long time!" Xi Niang waved Xipa, and then pulled the corner of Xiaomei's clothes, and gave the maids a look, signaling that everyone should leave.
After Xi Niang, Xiaomei and the maids retired, Xiao Jingcong and Yan Zixi also drank the wine, "Xi'er, from now on, you will be the wife of this king, Princess Xiao of the Zhenguo General's Mansion!" Xiao Jingcong looked at Yan Zixi affectionately, and it was difficult to hide the excited look on his face.
Yan Zixi was shy, and when she was about to answer, she suddenly burped.
"Hiccupβ"
"Hiccupβ"
Miserable! Miserable!
It must have been eating steamed buns before, and just drank wine again, and the steamed buns were swollen in the stomach......
Yan Zixi's pretty face turned red all of a sudden, and she finally understood why the ancients were not allowed to eat when they got married.
It seems that there is some truth to this.
"Jing Cong me...... Hiccup......"
"Xi'er, what's wrong with you? Why do you keep hiccups? Xiao Jingcong frowned slightly, and asked with a smile on her lips.
"I ...... I stole the steamed buns...... Hiccup...... I shouldn't ...... Hiccup...... I shouldn't have stolen it...... Hiccup......"
