Chapter Seventy-Five: The Great Wedding (I)

It's September, and it's a festival of nine years. The whole Yecheng is very lively, even if it was a drought and frost locust before, and the imperial court was leviing taxes and people in waves. But these did not affect the atmosphere of the Double Ninth Festival in Yecheng at all.

Even if there is no such chongyang, they were all sent to the northern suburbs early in the morning to avoid.

Unlike in the past, everyone in Yecheng knows that in September of Xuanguo, the day of Chongyang, the Son of Heaven is married.

This mother is the world, and the candidate after a country is naturally Chu Feiran, the youngest daughter of the Zuo Cheng family.

Nowadays, the people of the whole Yecheng and even the entire Xuanguo know it clearly, and there are only two outsiders from the Liang Kingdom who are kept in the dark - Xia Zhengde and Xia Wan.

Xuanyuan Jue and others found an excellent excuse, saying that the wedding date coincided with the suburban festival ceremony, and they just followed the "old customs" and sent the pair of Liang Guolai's clan brothers and sisters to the southern suburbs first. After the sacrifice was completed from the temple next to the imperial mausoleum, "Xuanyuan Jue" came to Xia Wan to complete the marriage.

Pitiful and lamentable, Xia Zhengde and Xia Wan, neither of them noticed anything wrong, and the two happily took the carriage early in the morning and waited in the southern suburbs.

In addition to the imperial mausoleum and the temple guarded by heavy soldiers in the southern suburbs, it is sparsely populated, and even the shed where Xia Zhengde and Xia Wan are waiting is only repaired in the last month.

The pair of clan brothers and sisters, who have always liked luxury in their bones, have always been picky, and they haven't seen much restraint at this time.

There is no one in your eyes, and the two brothers and sisters say a word, as if they have held the entire Xuanguo in the palm of their hands.

At the same time, the real wedding ceremony of the Son of Heaven has already started in the Yecheng Palace for a long time, Chu Feiran, who was dressed in a luxurious wedding dress, was gently held by Xuanyuan Jue with one hand, and was steadily supported by the female officials of the palace, and walked through the long palace road from the Taining Gate, step by step, and accepted the worship of the civil and military officials on both sides of the palace road.

So far, I finally came to the front of the Weiyang Palace.

Gorgeous clothes, phoenix crowns. Chu Feiran never felt that there was anything good about this body, it was so heavy to wear, so breathless.

Perhaps, every woman of school age in Yecheng has thought about entering the palace, and they have thought about standing side by side with the handsome young king in front of them. But she never had a trace of envy.

Chu Feiran, for the first time, tasted the taste of having but was not happy.

"At this time, Xie Jin and the others should go to the southern suburbs, I hope everything goes well."

Looking at the ministers of His Royal Highness Weiyang, like marionettes, one after another with the inexplicable chanting of the master of ceremonies, Xuanyuan was expressionless.

The big wedding is indeed a happy event, even if he is an ordinary person, he should be very happy. But what he is holding in his hand is not his beloved, and she may not necessarily love herself so much.

He and her had only met in a hurry at Zuo Cheng's mansion, and in the final analysis, this big wedding was originally just a transaction between him and Zuo Cheng.

Otherwise, Zuo Cheng helped him seize the military power of Gonggong Dan's faction.

Xuanyuan thought about it, and faintly began to feel that his queen, the girl named "Feiran", was a little pitiful, and sent a secret guard to hear the news that she had been sick since she was a child, and she was raised in a house in the peach blossom forest in the northern suburbs.

What kind of immortal gave flowers, born from a dream, Xuanyuan didn't believe it, he thought, maybe this was born from the outer room that couldn't see the light, or it was brought from somewhere else.

The strange thing is that there should always be some clues to the origin, and those secret guards didn't find out the slightest bit.

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan suddenly noticed that the hand he was holding in the palm of his hand had unconsciously appeared a thin layer of sweat, and when he saw it, Chu Feiran's body holding a feather fan had begun to stand a little unsteadily.

But the master of ceremonies' tirade, and the courtiers' great gifts are not over yet.

Xuanyuan Jue turned his head slightly, originally wanting Xie Jin, who was accompanying him, to secretly mention the master of ceremonies, but this time, he suddenly realized that today, Xie Jin was not in the palace.

But it was precisely this glimpse that he caught a glimpse of Chu Feiran, who was a little shaky and sleepy and couldn't open his eyes.

Xuanyuan couldn't help laughing, and gently pulled Chu Feiran's fingers, Chu Feiran only then strengthened her spirits and opened her eyes with great effort, fortunately, she had been holding a feather fan in her hand, and her indecent and disrespectful behavior of rolling her eyes was not seen by the civil and military officials under this order.

A casual glance, a casual smile, every bit of this was carefully looked at by several ministers who were close to the stairs.

Lord Zuo Cheng, who was promoted to the rank of national abbot, saluted with respect for the number of salutes, and looked proudly at a group of military generals.

He originally thought that his youngest daughter had been raised by him in the peach forest in the northern suburbs for many years, and she was no better than the noble daughters of other families in terms of etiquette and manners, and moreover, she was the daughter of an important minister who Xuanyuan was afraid of but had to work together, and Xuanyuan would be disgusted by these two reasons.

But now it seems that he is a father who is too worried. It seems that Xuanyuan and Fei Ran will be a pair of loving emperors and queens, otherwise they will not be wronged.

Then, at the same time, as Zuo Cheng, he will naturally do his best to assist Xuanyuan Cheng. This is his duty, and it is also the best he can do as a father for his beloved daughter.

At the same time, Xie Jin, who pretended to be "Xuanyuan Jue", came out of the temple slowly, and during this time, he and several colleagues from Taichang Temple, adults, plus Xu He, have been waiting in the temple.

Just now, a few little chamberlains came to report that Xia Zhengde was drunk and was drinking right now.

Well, they are waiting for this ripe time today. Originally, Xie Jin was afraid that Xia Zhengde would not be drunk, so he specially put some medicinal powder in the wine that made people easily drunk.

At this moment, Xia Zhengde, who was impatient to wait for a long time, was already drunk with no one in his seat, and right now, he was staggering, and his eyes were stunned to look at Xia Wan who was fanning the wind with a feather fan.

"Wan ...... Wan'er ...... Belch! How come there are two Wan'er?! ”

Because of drunkenness, Xia Zhengde's face was flushed three times, and it was the cheeks on both sides and the tip of his nose that was hooked. Slurred, he blinked vigorously with his eyes, wanting to see Xia Wan's figure in front of him clearly.

It's just that he has drunk too much wine with ingredients, no matter what, the world is spinning in his eyes, and there is still only Xia Wan who overlaps.

"Brother, you are really bold, seeing that Xuanyuan Jue is about to come, you dare to get drunk like this? Haha......"

Xia Wan stopped the feather fan in her hand and sneered, at this time, she pretended to be a gentle and virtuous lady, knowledgeable and courteous, and covered her mouth with the feather fan that was originally used to hide her face.

Unfortunately, even if this feather fan was made of Roc's bird feathers, it couldn't hide her uncomfortable-sounding and disgusting laughter.

Drunk, Xia Zhengde's bad roots in his bones gradually prevailed, listening to Xia Wan's laughter in his ears, his brows furrowed, and he thought she was teasing and ridiculing him. So, he strode in front of Xia Wan.

"This king is not drunk, just these few glasses of wine, count...... What a lot! What if Xuanyuan is here?! ”

Saying that, Xia Zhengde smiled, while ignoring others and etiquette, he sat down directly beside Xia Wan, restless hands, familiar with the way, from Xia Wan's shoulder, all the way up, caressing the white neck, and the last two fingers, gently clamped Xia Wan's jaw.

There were only a few palace people waiting for Xuanyuan Jue and his party in the southern suburbs, and they were all timid and afraid, and when they saw this scene, they all lowered their heads and didn't dare to take another look.

"Smack!"

Xia Wan knocked Xia Zhengde's unruly hand down with one palm, and her expression was also correct at this time, and she stood up and avoided Xia Zhengde.

"Brother, please respect yourself, this is Xuanguo, how dare you be so frivolous in front of this palace?"

At this time, Xia Wan actually held the feather fan in her hand in a good manner, but a pair of eyes that were flowing and looking forward to it had repeatedly rippled, and at this moment, she was constantly glancing at Xia Zhengde, who was swaying on the table.

Even though the wonderful people dressed in front of him were not clearly visible, Xia Zhengde also understood what Xia Wan meant, and waved his hand impatiently at the palace people and chamberlains around him, and casually said that they should go and see where Xuanyuan Jue and his party from the Zongmiao not far away were, and immediately sent them away.

As soon as the idle people in the way were gone, Xia Zhengde got up and took her in his arms from behind Xia Wan.

"Brother, you really drank too much, drunk like this, your hands and feet are soft, otherwise why would you fall on Wan'er?"

Xia Wan "struggled", half-pushed and half-pushed, but let Xia Zhengde circle her tighter with a pair of arms. was released by the wine, and Xia Zhengde began to mumble.

"Wan'er, you are so beautiful today. It's true...... It's really beautiful, you shouldn't call me any brother, it's been more than a hundred years, what kind of brother and sister, according to the customs of my Liang Kingdom, if it weren't for the prince's proposal to let you marry Xuanguo, you would have been the king's concubine. ”

As he spoke, Xia Zhengde, who was tossed by the surging wine, began to smell Xia Wan's hair in his arms, I don't know what kind of aroma it was dyed, which not only made Xia Zhengde smell his nose, but also his heart.

And this Xia Wan is afraid that Xuanyuan Jue and the ministers are coming, if everyone sees the two of them so rude and absurd, then today's big wedding will be turned into an execution ground.

Xia Wan carefully avoided Xia Zhengde, but at the same time, she was not completely away from him. She knew that Xia Zhengde liked him.

She is the princess of the Liang Frontier, her grandfather, and the grandfather of Emperor Liang, who has a common ancestor. For as long as she can remember, she grew up in the palace as a "hostage", and she never returned until the death of her remembered father.

Plainly, this Xia Zhengde and the prince Xia Zhengtao are the best two for her. Originally, she thought that as a princess of the clan, according to the old custom, she would marry one of them. I never thought that one day she would come to this Xuanguo, which is thousands of miles away.

She knew that Xia Zhengde liked her, and she also liked Xia Zhengde, but she also liked Xia Zhengtao, the prince of Liang State. Perhaps, that shouldn't be called "like", in the final analysis, she just hopes to have someone who is worth entrusting her life and will not let herself run around to rely on.

"Wan'er...... Wan'er ......"

Xia Zhengde came again at this time and hugged Xia Wan.

The two would never have thought that this scene had been carefully watched by "Xuanyuan Jue", who was only one step away from stepping in outside the shed.

"Liang makes the adults feel unwell, why don't you hurry up and take the adults to rest?"

Xia Wan was stunned, and when she heard what the people outside the shed said, she immediately raised her feather fan and covered her face.

The face behind the feather fan is still there, but it is ashamed, timid, and trembling.

Those eyes, until the sun went down and the big wedding was completed, she didn't notice that the person standing beside her was Xie Jin, who was wearing a gilt mask.
