Chapter 033: Wedding in the Heavenly Prison
"Thanks! Reflect! Chinese! β
Du Pingfei's eyes were full of anger, his eyes seemed to be bursting with flames, and he no longer saw the grace and luxury of the past. On the contrary, it made people worry that she would pounce on her image in the next moment, and she would tear and scuffle with Xie Fenghua.
Xie Fenghua clasped his arms in his hands, as if he had no bones, leaning against the wall. There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, but her eyes were full of sarcasm. The sharp eyes quickly looked at Du Pingfei, then retracted his gaze, shook his head and sighed: "The queen's appearance is peerless, but it's a pity......"
A look of great pity for her bad brain.
Du Pingfei has been in the harem for so many years, and he thinks that he has excellent endurance, and he doesn't pay attention to any demons and monsters. But for some reason, in the face of Xie Eryi's repeated provocations, she repeatedly fell behind, and was even easily provoked to lose her temper.
This Xie Er seems to know very well where her bottom line is, and she can always silently step on that string. Although I remind myself every time not to fall into the trap of the other party, sometimes I can't help but be emotionally swayed.
What's even more terrifying is that she didn't notice the anomaly at the time, but only realized it in hindsight when she thought about it later.
Hell yes!
Du Pingfei was extremely annoyed in his heart, but he refused to admit that most of the reason why he would lose his temper was because Xie Er was too like Xie Fenghua.
That woman is so ghostly when she dies!
Looking at this unruly face at this moment, Du Pingfei still couldn't hold back, raised his hand and rushed over, about to slap him hard.
- Naturally, you can't fan it.
She tried to withdraw her hand with all her strength, but the other party was determined to oppose her, and the iron pincer-like hand tightly grasped her wrist, no matter how she struggled, the five fingerprints did not move. Eventually, she could feel a burning pain in her wrist, as if she had taken off a layer of skin.
She was suddenly angry, and said sharply: "Xie Yinghua, you dare to do this to the palace!" β
Then he shouted angrily outside the prison door, "Are you all dead? Why don't you come and help Hongu take down this crazy woman? β
Yuehe and the other heavenly prison guards were about to move, but they saw Xie Fenghua walking to the cell door, raised his foot and kicked back, which was half-opened.
Yuehe was slammed into the door and fainted.
Du Pingfei was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.
"Queen Mother, don't waste your efforts." Xie Fenghua shook off her hand, leaned against the cell door with his arms folded, and said with a straw in his mouth, "Since I have entered this cell, I have the final say." β
Du Pingfei suddenly sneered, rubbed his wrist that was scratched red, and said in a strange manner: "You are really a big breath, you don't know and think that the entire prison is under your control!" It's a pity that some people can't recognize their situation at the moment......"
Xie Fenghua blew a breath, and the grass shook a few times, and her gaze fell on it, not moving for a long time.
Just when Du Pingfei thought she was stupid, she turned her head, her eyes were dull, as if soaked in thousands of years of frost, which made people feel chills in their hearts for no reason.
She spit out the grass and said slowly, "You don't have to scold me like this!" Now that you're here, why not have a good time? Even if it's watching a drama and mocking, I can afford you! β
Du Pingfei snorted coldly, and suddenly reined in those vicious or bewildered looks, rolled up his sleeves, and stood gracefully, as if he had returned to that graceful and dignified appearance.
She subconsciously raised her chin, and her eyes were three points sarcastic and seven points happy, "You are quite self-aware." It's just that, if you know that your Xie Mansion is about to face a catastrophe, I wonder if you can be as calm as you are now? β
Xie Fenghua's heart moved, and when he thought of Xie Zhengyun not returning for a long time, he suddenly understood something. She tugged at the corners of her mouth, her expression unchanged, as if she was listening to something that had nothing to do with her.
As everyone knows, her calm look fell in Du Pingfei's eyes, but it was extremely eye-catching.
Du Pingfei blocked his chest in one breath, suffocating uncomfortably.
Yesterday, she learned from her mother's family that Xie Zhengyun had done something stupid while serving as a waiter in the Ministry of Workers, and once the defendant came out, the charge of "collaborating with the enemy and treason" could not be escaped.
And that's exactly what happened.
After the excerpt was submitted to the imperial case, the emperor ordered Xie Zhengyun to be taken out of the prison and arrested in front of the emperor for strict interrogation. And the matter is so big that all the court officials who were in attendance at that time could not leave the Qinzheng Palace for half a step until the matter was perfectly resolved.
It is enough to see how serious this matter is.
She ordered someone to knock on the side to find out, but to no avail.
Still, that's enough.
Here, her original intention was to take this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to humiliate Xie Er, so she also said directly: "Your second uncle has really helped the palace a lot." Hongu didn't want to see you so much, and he was thinking about how to make a stumbling block for you, but he handed over the handle. It's good that this saves the palace and has to go through a lot of hard work. β
"You did it?" Xie Fenghua didn't seem to understand the show-off in her words, and stepped forward, forcing Du Ping to fly back with a fierce momentum around him, "Queen Mother, you really flattered me by lifting me up like this!" So, should I say goodbye to you? β
"You can consider kneeling down and begging this palace now, maybe this palace can be merciful to help you." Du Pingfei said proudly.
Xie Fenghua didn't bother to pay attention to her.
This kind of talk can only deceive those little girls who don't know the world.
Her second uncle has not returned for two days, and must have been locked up in the palace by the emperor. With such a vital existence as Fuqu, it is natural that the fewer people who know about it, the better, and it is absolutely possible for the emperor to detain the relevant people and others.
At this time, it is still Du Ping's turn to be merciful?
Thinking of this, she spun around, sat on the straw pile, and waved her hand to send off the guests, "Queen Mother, as the head of the harem, it is not a glorious thing for you to leave the palace so frequently. If it's okay, let's go back quickly! β
Du Pingfei was stunned, he didn't expect her to be like this, and then said, "You don't believe what Bengong said?" Or do you think you have what it takes to pull back a game? β
"It depends on what kind of game it is!" Xie Fenghua squinted at her and said without pain.
Du Pingfei seemed to be quite satisfied with her reaction, and snorted coldly: "In this game, I'm afraid you won't be able to get it back if you want to break your head." Your Xie Mansion is also unfavorable, first Xie Fenghua bullied the king, and then Xie Zhengyun collaborated with the enemy to commit treason, it is basically impossible for you to turn over. β
As she spoke, she also shook her head at Xie Fenghua, gloating with a look of schadenfreude.
Xie Fenghua suddenly smiled, "Queen Mother, are you joking?" Who doesn't know that my sister is loyal to the country? Now you say that my second uncle collaborated with the enemy and treason, who will believe it? β
"Your sister is your sister, and your second uncle is your second uncle. It is reported that the relationship between the two of you sisters and the rest of the Xie Mansion is not very close, how can Xie Fenghua be loyal to the king, but he is also invincible to the actions behind the scenes of the other people in the Xie Mansion, right? It's a pity......" Du Pingfei shook his head and said.
Xie Fenghua pursed his lips, and there was a bit of indescribable darkness in his eyes.
It didn't seem to be much different from what she had thought.
Originally, the construction of the auxiliary canal was contrary to the law of the Liang Dynasty. Even if Xie Zhengyun is not the decision-maker in this matter, but Gong Fanchao is dead, no one will believe what he says. Now it is not too surprising that someone has taken advantage of the loophole and is accused of treason with the enemy.
But she was very curious, in the successive calculations encountered by Xie Fu, how much strength did Du Pingfei make?
She rested one hand behind her head, crossed her legs, and pondered it all. In that backlit look, the shadow was dull, revealing a sense of solemnity and solemnity. Xu had expected this a long time ago, she was not too surprised, but asked with a sneer: "The queen mother is here to show off her might?" Or did you come to give your courtiers a ride? β
"I'm still hard-mouthed when I'm dying." Du Pingfei sneered, looked around, and then said, "This prison, you Xie Mansion have been in the palace for long enough, it's time to change places." Enjoy your last time here. As long as your surname is Xie, you will never be able to escape this ending! β
Thinking of the people and things related to Xie Fenghua disappearing from the world, she suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of happiness in her heart.
She lifted the hem of her skirt, squatted beside Xie Fenghua, lowered her head and asked, "You said, Dingyuan Hou, who once came to the door to marry you, will he go to this troubled water again?" β
Xie Fenghua didn't even give her a look, but suddenly remembered that person in his heart.
Think what he'll do!
At this moment, a voice came from the end of the cell, "Thank you for your concern." Since she is the minister's fiancΓ©e, the minister should marry back as soon as possible! β
As soon as the words fell, Yuan Minzhou walked slowly, arched his hand at Du Pingfei, hooked his lips and smiled: "I've seen the queen's mother." The queen mother cares so much about the affairs of the minister and his fiancΓ©e, which really flatters the minister! β
The smile on the corner of Du Pingfei's lips froze, and he said, "Dingyuan Hou is polite." In life, every choice counts. Dingyuan Hou can think clearly. If you ruin your reputation for someone you don't have to do, you'll regret it. β
Yuan Minzhou pretended not to understand the warning in her words, and said with a light smile: "Just now outside the prison, someone also persuaded the ministers like this. But the emperor said that in life, do whatever you want. Obey the will of God. β
Du Pingfei exclaimed: "The emperor is out of the palace? β
"Exactly." Yuan Minzhou glanced at a heartless woman, and smiled brighter, "The minister has asked the emperor for an order to marry Second Miss Xie today." From then on, Miss Xie Er was a member of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. Xie Fu's affairs have nothing to do with her. β
"The Marquis of Dingyuan is really affectionate." Du Pingfei's face was a little ugly, and he couldn't help but say sarcastically, "However, before getting married, Miss Xie Er was still guilty, and she would never be able to get out of this prison." It seems that your wedding can only be held in a prison. β
Yuan Minzhou then nodded, "Then I will ask the queen to stay and watch the ceremony." β
"Hongu will come." Du Pingfei glanced at Xie Fenghua coldly and threw away his sleeves.
Yuan Minzhou glanced at the back, shook his head, and sighed: "Why do you want to be like her?" β
"She was the one who provoked me first!" Xie Fenghua corrected his words, looking at his dusty body, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Although he knew that this matter had to be sent like an arrow on a string, he still asked with luck, "Is there really no other way?" β
Yuan Minzhou shook his head, "No." Your second uncle did some stupid things in the early years, and now he has been poked out by the Du family, I'm afraid it will be difficult to turn over. The stakes are very high, and the court should not be too public, even if it is to be disposed of, it can only come secretly in private. For now, I can only save you first. β
After a pause, he said again: "But don't worry, after we get married, I will write to the emperor to ask the emperor to give him a grace period of a few days, and there may not be no room for turning around at that time." β
Xie Fenghua nodded, his heart full of gratitude.
After Xie Zhengyun's matter was discovered, many people avoided it, and he was the only one who wanted to protect himself. She thanked him solemnly and watched him leave.
β¦β¦
On this day, the prison was very lively.
With the emperor's permission, the prison that used to be cold and deserted was decorated with lights and gongs and drums.
Everyone knows that Yuan Minzhou's purpose in marrying Miss Xie Er at this time was because many court officials held opposing opinions. Now, Xie Fu has committed an unforgivable felony, and this family matter should not be mentioned again.
But Yuan Minzhou said that this family matter had already been decided, and it had nothing to do with what happened to Xie Fu at present. As for when the ceremony will take place, it is up to him to decide. This statement was also approved by the emperor. But in order to balance the criticism brought by this move, the big wedding can only be held in the prison.
In this regard, Yuan Minzhou has no objection.
And those who want to see Yuan Minzhou eat deflated also feel very happy. Let's ask, how important the marriage event is, but it has to be carried out in an ominous place such as the prison, which is also bad enough.
Those people could already imagine the scene of the big wedding - the courtyard was deserted and ominous.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Minzhou actually gave them an invitation, and also invited the current emperor and queen to watch the ceremony. Those people were also dumbfounded, and hurried to prepare gifts for the banquet, and at the same time secretly scolded Dingyuan Marquis in their hearts for being insidious and cunning.
They have to hold up this field!
The emperor and queen have all gone to watch the ceremony, if they don't go, won't they be looking for death?
The officials who didn't want to find death rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to prepare the big gift, but the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion seemed a lot more relaxed.
Since the last Li Dai Taozhuang's wedding, Yuan Minzhou has already secretly prepared everything for the wedding. I wanted to wait for the matter of Xie Fu to be over, and then hold a grand wedding.
But I don't want to, Xie Fu's matter is endless, and even the expected big wedding has become a means to protect Xie Er. And the things that were originally prepared had to be moved from the treasury of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to the prison.
ushered in the send-off, beating gongs and drums, this sudden big wedding suddenly attracted the attention of the people of Tianshangjing. Everyone gathered around the gate of the prison from afar, watching the red box being carried into the prison one by one, and they couldn't help but start talking.
"I said, man, whose family is this marrying? Actually married to the prison? β
ββ¦β¦ It is said that the Marquis of Dingyuan married Miss Xie Er......"
"Didn't you marry last time? Why do you want to marry again? β
"Shh......h It is said that I married the wrong one last time. And I heard that the Xie family committed a serious crime, and Marquis Dingyuan decided to marry at this time in order not to let Miss Xie Er be innocently affected. β
ββ¦β¦ In this way, the Marquis of Dingyuan is really affectionate and righteous! β
Du Hongxin stood in front of the gate of the heavenly prison, and when he heard this, he almost vomited a mouthful of blood.
A ghost with affection and righteousness!
If it weren't for Yuan Minzhou's cunning fox and inviting the emperor and queen over, they wouldn't have come to support this field. Thinking like this, his steps were a little heavier, and he couldn't wait to break through the threshold of the prison.
Du Huaishao looked at it, and a dark light quickly flashed in his eyes. He looked around, but saw people and cars coming and going, very lively, and the joy and pomp that should be there for getting married were well placed. It doesn't seem to be deliberately reminded, and no one remembers that this is a prison.
Thinking like this, he also had a little interest in his heart, and even the hard and condensed walls and floors here were much more pleasing to the eye.
At the door of the prison, the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion and the servants were busy without touching the ground, constantly checking the posts and welcoming the visitors.
After handing the post in his hand to the person at the door, he looked up at the word "prison" above his head, and his face was full of complicated expressions.
The heavenly prison is an important place in the imperial court, and if it weren't for the fact that Marquis Dingyuan was a popular person in front of the emperor, I am afraid that he would not be able to ask for such a will.
There was a burst of envy and sigh in everyone's hearts.
Unlike the bustle outside, there was silence inside the prison.
Yuan Minzhou deliberately ordered someone to vacate a cell and quickly set up dressers, tables and chairs and other things that should be dressed in red and beaming, and used them as a simple boudoir for Xie Fenghua to get married.
Xie Fenghua is not very particular, and he has something in his heart, so he doesn't have the heart to look at everything around him. It wasn't until you came back to your senses and your eyes fell on the bright red that you realized that you were about to get married.
Due to the special situation, the people of Xie Mansion were all locked up and could not come to help. The bride and the girl who served were all arranged by Yuan Minzhou. At this moment, Yuan Minzhou was outside to do something, and in the cell, these people were allowed to toss her.
At the beginning, the girls were a little constrained and didn't dare to step forward. It wasn't until he tried to toss a few times and found that Xie Fenghua didn't have any displeasure that he let go of his guts, combed his hair, and hurriedly prepared with rouge.
Xie Fenghua was originally in a mood, surrounded by so many people, and suddenly a trace of ripples appeared in his heart.
For a moment, she suddenly dreamed of getting married.
She looked up, but saw the bride smiling and holding the tray and stepping forward, which contained her wedding dress, red as fire, full of splendor, and indescribably gorgeous.
"Miss, do you want to put on this wedding dress now?" Xi Niang asked.
Xie Fenghua nodded, and the girls who were waiting next to her hurriedly leaned over, and one by one the white butterflies were busy working in front and back like flowers, and it took a long time to put this dress on her body properly.
This time the wedding came too suddenly, she didn't even look at the wedding dress, looking at herself in the mirror at the moment, and then looking at the amazing color in the eyes of the bride girls, she had to admire Yuan Minzhou's intentions.
This wedding dress is well-cut and brightly colored. From the material, it can be seen that it is a treasure that is hard to find. And the outermost layer of the wedding shirt, with gold and silver threads woven to outline the auspicious pattern of the dragon and phoenix, gold-based, silver as the supplement, these two colors are luxurious to the extreme, quiet and restrained, but the red base of the flamboyant air to suppress a few points.
At first glance, the whole wedding dress is extremely flamboyant, but it can also get a glimpse of the restrained and domineering aristocratic atmosphere, which is breathtaking!
Xie Fenghua's heart was full of gratitude to Yuan Minzhou.
She could see that Yuan Minzhou had already taken out the best. If you change the location, it will definitely be more eye-catching than it is now. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is impossible to repay it to this extent.
When everything is ready, it is already halfway through the unitary time.
Outside the cell, as soon as the firecrackers sounded, the girl who inquired about the news at the door in advance rushed in, and the bride hurriedly took the hijab and covered it for Xie Fenghua.
Everyone, holding Ruyi, holding Ruyi, holding Shou Stone, quickly returning to their positions.
As soon as the salute sounded, Xi Niang helped Xie Fenghua out of the door.
The place of worship was chosen in a spacious courtyard in front of the cell. Along the way, the red carpet was all rolled out. Xie Fenghua was held by Xi Niang, with a head hijab, staring at the road under his feet, and walked to the other end of the red carpet step by step.
In her ears were the auspicious words that Xi Niang kept saying, and for some reason, she only felt a calm in her heart, so quiet that she could even hear the sound of the wind blowing. Suddenly, a bright red robe corner broke into her sight, and her heart suddenly trembled, and she was in a trance for a moment.
From being buried by him in Mocheng to today, acquaintance, closeness, and marriage, she has always kept an appropriate distance from Yuan Minzhou. However, at this moment, there is a feeling of sudden dream.
Although he had known for a long time that he was going to marry Yuan Minzhou, he also knew what the other party's motives were for marrying him. But at this moment, he suddenly had a bit of a mischievous mind - if Yuan Minzhou knew that the person he married was the real Xie Fenghua, what kind of expression should he have?
Thinking of this, she suddenly laughed secretly, and her steps were much easier.
Seeing her come out, Yuan Minzhou was also in a trance, and after the trance, he stepped forward and handed her the other end of the red silk.
This time the matter was urgent, and a lot of red tape was saved, but everyone saw from this arrangement that the Marquis of Dingyuan attached great importance to this wedding. Especially when I saw the two emperors and queens sitting on the top, they all had mixed feelings in their hearts, or envy, or jealousy, or maybe something else.
Xie Fenghua pretended not to understand who the person sitting above was, and suddenly spoke, "Master Hou, my parents died since I was a child, and I will invite my second uncle to come here in this high hall today." β
As soon as these words came out, the people watching the ceremony were shocked, and their eyes looked at the emperor and queen in unison.
The ceremonial officer also looked at Yuan Minzhou with an embarrassed face, but he didn't want to, but at this time, Zhao Pei suddenly got up and said with a smile: "Second Miss Xie has thought properly." I'm going to look at it. β
As he spoke, a palace man quickly moved the stool.
Seeing this, Queen Du glanced at the red hijab meaningfully, and also sat down next to Zhao Pei.
Yuan Minzhou invited Xie Zhengyun and Mrs. Yuan to sit over.
At this point, the ceremonial officer sang loudly!
"Worship heaven and earthβ"
"The Second Worship Hallβ"
"Husband and wife worship each otherβ"
Xie Fenghua was hugged by Xi Niang, and turned around and bent down gracefully in the singing harmony, and there was nothing wrong.
But Yuan Minzhou was in a trance, looking at the bright red in front of him, for some reason, the ice and snow of that day appeared in his mind. There was a tingle in his eyes, and he bent down deeply when others noticed it.
- Is this worship salvation or liberation?
"Reesungβ"
When he raised his body again, Yuan Minzhou's face was as usual again. The people who watched the ceremony seemed to have forgotten that this was a prison, and they all rushed to see the bride.
Yuan Minzhou stepped forward with a smile and lifted the hijab, Xie Fenghua raised his eyes slightly, and the corners of his lips hooked a shallow arc.
Bursts of inhalation were heard all around.
In the silence, there was a snap, and someone crushed the teacup in his hand......
