13. Destruction of the wedding dress
In the dimly lit tunnel, a pale-faced man dragged his blood and leaned on the wall with one hand, walking forward with difficulty. It took a while to reach a slightly wider place.
"Your Highness, are you here?" A guard with a knife hurriedly stepped forward and was startled when he saw the man covered in blood, "How are you, are you okay?" ”
The man pulled out a bloodstained map from his sleeve and said, "She has given it to me." ”
"Why was Your Highness so badly injured?"
"It's the emperor of Zhaoyue, I really shouldn't underestimate him." As he spoke, he tore his clothes, and couldn't help frowning in pain, snorting, and cold sweat ran down his forehead. He took off his mask, and his pale but handsome face looked inhuman under the dim oil lamp, "Xu He, go and bring the wine, I want to clean the wound." ”
The guard, who was called Xu He, took the wine and handed it to him: "How did Your Highness escape?" ”
"The Shen family."
"It turned out to be Prime Minister Shen." Xu He nodded suddenly in understanding.
The man poured wine on the wound on his body, and finally couldn't help but cry out, the pain numbed his body, for a moment, his brain went blank, but the next moment he thought of the woman who was forced to be careless, but after all, he saved his life.
and the aroma of the jar of wine under the peach tree.
He wanted to laugh a little, but was forced back by the pain.
Finally after treating the wound, he took a long breath and said, "How many days are there until the queen of Zhaoyue's enthronement ceremony?" ”
"Back to Your Highness, there are four days left."
"Prepare a generous gift, I'm going to give it."
Two days later, someone in the palace brought a wedding dress.
When Ah Xin brought it in, it was early in the morning, Qing Huan had not woken up in a daze, and saw a fiery red thing in the distance, she pulled her throat and asked, "Ah Xian, what is that?" ”
"It's the wedding dress sent by the palace to be worn at the ceremony."
"What?" Ah Xin suddenly came to her senses, her eyes widened, and Ah Xin also sent the wedding dress to Qing Huan.
The fiery red satin, Qing Huan can see that it is worth a lot of money, it should be the best batch of fabrics from the Jiangnan Silk Bureau, and there are dark yellow dark lines in it, which seem to be phoenix patterns. She flipped through her clothes, a little startled. She is not a person who has never seen the world, and she has never seen so much embroidery on any of her clothes. And the embroidery is fine, the embroidery method is a bit like the embroidery from Suzhou, such a huge project, even if ten embroiderers start at the same time, it will take half a month to complete, right?
If Qi Yan hadn't started preparing this wedding dress half a month ago, then he had invited dozens of embroiderers to work together? No matter how you think about it, Qi Yan seems to be really careful about marrying her?
Shen Qinghuan thought so.
She looked at the wedding dress and said to Ah Ming, "Do you think this wedding dress looks good?" ”
"Of course it's good-looking, the slave has never seen such a beautiful dress in her life!"
"Is this my wedding dress..."Shen Qinghuan was a little sluggish, and suddenly with a force of her hand, the collar of her was torn by her.
"Miss!" Ah quietly exhaled.
Shen Qinghuan threw the clothes to Ah Xin, and pretended to say loudly: "What kind of wedding dress is this?" The wedding dress for Miss Ben actually broke such a big hole? How do you want me to marry the emperor the day after tomorrow? ”
Ah Xian's eyes rolled, and she seemed to understand what Shen Qinghuan meant, so she knelt down and said, "Miss, don't be angry, the slave maid will take it out and return it to them, and let them make a new one and send it again." ”
"Hmph, that's just like the words, go and come back quickly." Shen Qinghuan said and lay down again.
Although she knew that marrying Qi Yan would be a matter of time, she was inexplicably a little afraid, always thinking about how many days she could delay. Even the construction period of this wedding dress can be used as an excuse for her to delay time...
When Ah quietly came back from a trip, it had been a long time, and Shen Qinghuan unconsciously slept on the bed for a while. Hearing the movement, Qing Huan asked, "Can the clothes be returned to them?" ”
"Yes, and said that I would replace it with a brand new, flawless one."
"Hmm." Qing Huan said sullenly.
"Since Miss doesn't want to marry the emperor so much, why do you agree?" Ah quietly asked.
"I didn't want to marry him," Qing Huan said, "I'm just a little scared." Ah Xian, what kind of feeling do you say to marry an emperor who doesn't love you? ”
"Doesn't the emperor like Miss very much? In order to marry the young lady, he personally went down to the house to propose marriage, and asked someone to hurry up and make such a beautiful wedding dress for the young lady. It takes a lot of effort for others to be queens, but Miss easily became a queen, which shows that the emperor likes Miss. ”
Qing Huan shook his head and said, "It's not as simple as you think. The first emperor relied on the Chen family to get the country, and in the end, because of the favor of the Chen family, the power of the monarch and the minister was reversed. The emperor is smart, how can he not understand this truth? He may have married me to strengthen the country, but he did not love me. ”
Ah Jing didn't understand again: "Since Miss understands this truth, why should she agree?" ”
