Hearing the news that Princess Kunxing had come to Dengzhou, Li Xiao, the groom official who had changed into a bright red dress, hurriedly took a group of relatives and guards out of the city to greet her.

Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info saw the bright red twelve people carrying the sedan chair in front of him, Li Xiao was very emotional.

Subsequently, he rode a horse to open the way, took this luxury sedan chair, and this group of relatives to send off the family, blowing and blowing into Dengzhou City, in the crowd of people and soldiers watching and laughing, went to the Tang Guogong Mansion.

After the sedan chair arrived outside the mansion, Li Xiao lightly lifted the sedan chair surface, set up the stepping mat, and personally welcomed Princess Kunxing out of the sedan chair.

Seeing Zhu Yujiao, the bride who appeared in front of him, dressed in gorgeous clothes and covered with a red hijab, but still as petite and delicate as a child, Li Xiao's heart was filled with an unspeakable sigh.

He gently stretched out his hand and held up Zhu Yujiao's slender jade hand with pointed gold fingers.

The little hand that was held up by him trembled obviously.

Li Xiao took a light breath, held her slender jade hand, slowly walked out of the sedan chair, and walked towards the inner hall of the official mansion amid the cheers of the onlookers.

Entering the inner hall, it was already crowded with Li Xiao's subordinates who came to congratulate and watch the excitement, as well as a group of officials from all over Shandong led by Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, who were also standing in it with a smile on their faces.

They saw that Zhu Yujiao, the princess of Kunxing, who was dressed in luxurious makeup and a red cover, accompanied by four wedding maids, was led by Li Xiao, and stood in front of a long table with red cloth with decorative essence, everyone immediately burst into laughter, and in the entire middle hall, the sound of firecrackers and laughter were mixed together, which was very lively.

Wait until the firecrackers are over and the scene is a little quieter, and the wedding will start the next step.

Chen Zilong, the officiant, his high-pitched voice sounded loudly.

"Worship heaven and earth!"

"Second worship high hall!"

"Husband and wife worship each other!"

"Licheng!"

"Sound the cannon and send it to the cave room!"

Li Xiao led Zhu Huijiao, knelt on the ground, and offered tea to the parents' tablets in front of the long table.

Then, the deafening sound of firecrackers sounded continuously, and under the cheers and embrace of a group of children, Li Xiao took the hand of the bride Zhu Yujiao and slowly walked into the cave room.

After sending the bride into the cave room, Li Xiao asked the maids to accompany Zhu Huijiao to rest in the cave room.

Li Xiao and a group of Shandong officials sat in the chief, the main generals and staff members of his subordinates sat in the second seat, and the rest of the guests sat in other seats.

At this time, all the official palaces in Shandong also held feasts one after another, and at the same time celebrated the wedding of Li Xiao, the Duke of Tang Guo, who married Princess Kunxing today.

On the banquet, the cups were staggered, Li Xiao kept toasting to the guests, and he kept accepting the guests' persuasion.

For a while, the banquet was full of laughter and joy.

At this banquet, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and they had been eating and drinking for more than an hour, and then the people were gone, at this time Li Xiao was already dizzy from drinking, but fortunately he controlled his drunkenness, and with the help of the guards, he staggered back to the cave room.

At this time, the Tang State Mansion, which had been noisy for a day, finally returned to tranquility.

The bright moonlight shines through the window, and in the cave room, the newlyweds sit quietly along the side of the bed on a delicate carved golden nan wood hanging tent bed.

The four bride maids faced each other and stood on either side of the marriage bed.

On this early summer night, the cool breeze is soft, the frogs are chirping, and the moonlight shines through the window like water, and the candlelight shakes the red of the cave room, reflecting an alluring and intoxicating atmosphere.

Li Xiao, who was dizzy and dizzy, leaned on the pillar next to the bed, he shook his head vigorously, trying to make himself sober, and then he ordered a maid to go and make a basin of water for himself first, and wash his face, so that he could be more sober.

Soon, the maid called cold water and helped Li Xiao carefully wipe his face, hands and feet, and Li Xiao felt refreshed and his mind was much clearer.

He turned his head and looked at the figure of the child next to him, but he was dressed in a wedding dress, sitting next to him Zhu Yujiao, and he didn't feel mixed in his heart.

Li Xiao, who had read history in his previous life, naturally knew the tragic fate of this Kunxing princess Zhu Yujiao.

In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, that is, when Zhu Yujiao was sixteen years old, Emperor Chongzhen promised her to Zhou Shixian, the commander, but unexpectedly, before the wedding, Li Zicheng led the Liukou to break through the capital, and the marriage naturally had to be stopped.

What is especially tragic is that after Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, Chongzhen was disheartened, first let Empress Zhou cut herself, and then let Yuan Guifei commit suicide, and then sighed to Princess Zhu Yujiao of Kunxing and said: "Alas, why are you born in the emperor's family!" ”

Then he swung his sword and slashed the princess.

Fortunately, the princess subconsciously resisted with her left arm, but her left arm was cut off, and she fainted, and finally saved her life.

Later, when the Qing army entered the customs, the princess was captured by the Qing people, and the Qing people did not kill her like the prince Zhu Cihong and others in order to clean up the hearts of the people, but changed her title to Princess Changping.

Later, he forcibly rejected her request to become a monk, and forcibly married her to Zhou Shixian, who had become a lackey of the Qing court.

The princess was helpless, but she could only agree to the request of the Qing court.

In the end, she became depressed and sick, and only one year after she got married, she died of hatred, and then buried next to the old house of the Zhou family outside Guangning Gate, ending her miserable and desolate life.

Recalling the real history, Li Xiao was full of emotion in his heart.

He sighed, thought for a moment, and then waved his hand, letting the four maids retreat first.

After the four maids retreated as promised, Li Xiao stood up, holding a golden pick in his hand, but hesitated, not knowing whether to lift Zhu Yujiao's hijab.

In the sound of heavy breathing, Jin Jiaozi trembled slightly in the candlelight, flickering with a blurry golden light.

In the cave room, there was silence for a while.

Finally, Li Xiaochang took a long breath, stretched out the golden pick, and gently removed the bride's red silk hijab.

Sitting opposite Li Xiao is a girl with a childish face, her hair coiled into a complex shape, like a dark cloud, covered with all kinds of precious jewelry, a goose egg-like lovely face, inlaid with a pair of watery eyes, long eyelashes blinking from time to time, under the beautiful eyes, is a very handsome Yao nose, and under the nose, is the small cherry mouth with crimson color, slightly pursed, as if deliberately hiding the inner uneasiness.

When Zhu Yujiao raised her eyes and saw Li Xiao, the groom dressed in red, staring at herself without blinking, her face suddenly turned red with shame, and she hurriedly lowered her head to hide her embarrassment.

Li Xiao sighed lightly, put down the golden pick, found another chair, and sat opposite Zhu Yujiao.

The husband and wife sat opposite each other, silent again.

In the end, it was Li Xiao who put a smile on his face and said softly: "Princess, you came to Dengzhou from the capital, and you have worked hard along the way, right?" ”

Zhu Yujiao nodded slightly, but her head hung lower.

Li Xiao said softly: "Since the princess has worked hard all the way, let's rest first." ”

Zhu Yujiao sighed, she slowly raised her head, and saw Li Xiao's smiling face, and in a pair of beautiful eyes, tears instantly filled her eyes.

Zhu Yujiao found that although the groom official in front of him was nearly thirty years old, he was handsome, with thick eyebrows and starry eyes, full of a high-spirited atmosphere, but he was a rare beautiful man in the world.

It's just that this handsome groom, after all, is not the person he wants to marry in his heart, and he doesn't know anything about him, and now, he is only thirteen years old, and he is going to obey the emperor's order and become his new wife, and sleep with this man who is already a group of wives and concubines.

Li Xiao seemed to see through her thoughts, he sighed lightly and said, "Princess, but because the emperor forced you to marry your father, you feel wronged in your heart, right?" ”

Zhu Yujiao was speechless, and after a long time, she said like a mosquito chirping: "Husband, since this palace is married to you, don't say these words." ”

Li Xiao had a wry smile on his face, he shook his head and said, "Princess, you don't have to be so wronged. This duke knows that you have a lot of dissatisfaction and grievances in your heart, so you can also temporarily stay in my Tang Guogong Mansion for a while......"

"Don't say it, husband, we are already husband and wife, don't say these words of comfort again."

Zhu Yujiao interrupted Li Xiao's words, but tears almost fell from the corners of her eyes.

Li Xiao took out a handkerchief and helped her gently wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Zhu Yujiao stared at Li Xiao's concerned face, but her heart was mixed.

This Li Xiao, known as the number one hero in the world, is so thoughtful, he is a man who cares about people very much, and he is not too aggrieved to marry him.

It's just that after all, I am only thirteen years old, and it is the first time in my life that I sleep in the same bed with a man who is more than twice my age, which is really unacceptable in my heart.

Li Xiao seemed to see through her thoughts, and said softly: "Princess, my father has never liked to force others, you don't have to worry about me doing things that wronged you." In this way, you are still young, so you will live in my Tang Guogong Mansion first, and when you grow up and are willing to accept your father-in-law, let's have sex together. ”

Li Xiao's words made Zhu Yujiao's face blush like a ripe apple, and she sighed, not knowing whether to agree or oppose, but her head hung lower.

Li Xiao gave her a warm smile.

He originally thought that he wanted to tell Zhu Yujiao all the real reasons why Chongzhen married her, but considering this kind of cold and realistic political exchange of interests, it was better not to tell such a simple and kind girl.

Li Xiao stood up, took off his coat, put on his underwear, got into bed, pulled the quilt, and went to lie down to sleep first.

"Princess, if you want to rest, just call a few words at the door, and a maid will help you undress and sleep. My father went to sleep first. ”

After Li Xiao threw this sentence to her, he immediately turned around, and without looking at her again, he soon snored loudly.

Zhu Yujian saw that Li Xiao had fallen asleep, but her heart became more and more full of mixed feelings.

She fumbled around her body for a moment, and then pulled out a small gold-encrusted jade Ruyi.

This is the ninth year of Chongzhen, when Li Xiao entered Beijing to meet the emperor, he happened to meet her and Zhu Cihong, and gave each of them the same gift.

Among them, Zhu Cihong gave a little golden lion, and the gift she got was this small gold-inlaid jade Ruyi.

Unexpectedly, I was only seven or eight years old at the time, and I received this gift, but now it seems that it is a token of love.

What a wonderful fate in this world...... Zhu Yujiao sat for a long time before she got up and came to the door, called the maid, helped her take off her clothes, washed her face and body, and changed into new underwear, and then let them go out first.

Then, on this wide and soft marriage bed, Zhu Yujiao kept a safe distance of more than one person from Li Xiao, who was sleeping inside, and then covered herself with a quilt, and then looked at the dancing candle flame in a daze.

It dawned on her that everything that seemed to have happened to her up to now was like an unreal dream.

At the same time, she also quietly sighed in her heart, this Li Xiao is really a decent gentleman.

He felt sorry for himself who was not yet an adult, on this wedding night, he was not rude to himself, not even a hand or foot, he was very respectful and considerate of himself, such a good man, it is still really difficult to find.

Alas, perhaps, I should really grow up quickly, so that I can become a real woman with my husband Li Xiao...... Thinking of this, Zhu Yujiao only felt embarrassed on her face.

I don't know how long I thought about it, but in the sound of Li Xiao's snoring, Zhu Yujiao fell asleep in a daze.

The next day, when Zhu Yujiao opened her eyes, she was surprised to find that Li Xiao beside her had long since disappeared, but her own quilt was well covered, obviously Li Xiao had specially covered her.

An inexplicable warm current suddenly surged into her heart.

Then Zhu Yujiao got up and got out of bed, and under the service of the maid, she dressed up and dressed neatly.

Next, someone brought breakfast, a bowl of sparkling japonica rice porridge, and some delicate side dishes.

Zhu Yujiao was too nervous last night, so she only ate a little something, and now she was hungry, so she let go of her stomach and ate a lot.

After breakfast, Zhu Yujiao withdrew from the maid and was sitting alone in the house, when suddenly, a girl's cute little face flashed out of the door.

Zhu Yujiao saw that this girl, who was only six or seven years old, wore a double mustache and a light green short skirt, very beautiful and cute, her face was very similar to Li Xiao, and a pair of dark eyes were flickering and looking at herself.

Zhu Yujiao smiled and hurriedly beckoned: "Little girl, don't hide behind the door, come over and talk to your sister." ”

The girl, when she said this, giggled, revealing two rows of small white and delicate teeth.

She ran to Zhu Yujiao quickly, but her hands were always behind her back, and then she tilted her head mischievously and said to her, "Sister, guess what delicious food I brought you?" ”

Zhu Yujiao smiled, she blinked her eyes and said, "I can't guess that sister, little girl, what's your name?" How old is this year? The girls laughed very loudly, and showed what they had hidden, but it was two large apples. Come, let's have one for each of us, it's sweet. The girl smiled and said, "My name is Li Jing, I am six years old this year, my mother's name is Zu Wan'er, and my father's name is Li Xiao." Zhu Yujiao sighed and said thank you to Li Jing with a smile. It's just that she secretly said in her heart, before coming to Dengzhou, she heard that Li Xiao married two wives, one is his wife Zhu Yujiao, in terms of clan relations, she can also be regarded as her cousin, and the other is her wife Zu Wan'er. It turns out that this lovely girl is Zu Wan'er's daughter. Now, although he has the title of his wife and squeezed his cousin Zhu Yumei into the position of a flat wife, he has just gotten married, but he seems to be the most insignificant person in this family. Zhu Yujiao's face changed slightly, and the corners of her eyes were sour again. And her expression did not escape Li Jing's meticulous eyes, she blinked her dark eyes, and asked softly: "Little sister, what's wrong with you, are you unhappy?" “
