77 Marry only you
This ceremony has not yet begun, the ceremonial guard for marrying the bride has not yet arrived, there are only guards in the wedding hall, and the people who make the final arrangements, plus come in from time to time to see the excitement, and as soon as Qiu Xiaobei stepped in, the first thing that caught her eyes was the big double happiness red letter in the middle, which made her crying eyes hurt more and more.
"The emperor has arrived!"
"The concubine has arrived!"
When the auspicious time was approaching, the emperor and the concubine Niangniang came, of course, this concubine was not Zhou Guifei, but the mother of another third prince, King Rui, who lived in a shallow state.
Concubine Jing is the first "old man" who is still alive by the emperor's side, compared to the virtuous and virtuous concubine in the cold palace, who is not fighting or grabbing, and actually secretly plotting to take countless lives, Jing Guifei is really indisputable, because she has been closed to the emperor for many years, and she has not even seen the emperor, and she completely ignores all the disputes and resources in the palace, and King Rui has been guarding the frontier for so many years and has not returned to Kyoto for a long time.
Because there is no queen, in terms of qualifications, she is the only one who is qualified to sit in the position of the crown prince's mother, and she, who has always ignored the world, is willing to walk out of her door that has been closed for many years for the prince's wedding.
It is said that the queen of the year once saved her life.
After the emperor and Concubine Jing sat down, the welcoming procession also arrived, and with the shouting of the master of ceremonies, His Royal Highness the Prince, who was sitting in a wheelchair, dragged the red silk cloth in his hand, led the bride with a red hijab, wearing a red wedding dress covered with pearls and embroidered with gold threads, and slowly entered the auditorium.
There was warm applause, there was goodwill coaxing, and the wedding hall that had not been crowded with people before, even Ying Shurong was among the guests, shaking a folding fan and talking to another man with a good appearance.
He looked around at the guests, saw the little eunuch who looked even weaker in the crowd, paused slightly, said a few words to the person next to him, and squeezed towards the little eunuch.
Qiu Xiaobei was staring at the person in the wheelchair, under such joy, His Royal Highness the Prince's handsome face was expressionless, and he couldn't see any joy, but he was still walking according to the process.
"Hey, what a coincidence, why are you here?" Ying Shurong knocked Qiu Xiaobei on the shoulder with a folding fan, and his friends who came with him quietly separated the other people who were squeezing Qiu Xiaobei, and asked curiously.
The palace people in the East Palace are all busy, but Gonggong Pei, the father-in-law, is standing among the guests to watch the ceremony, which is interesting.
His friend beside him, a tall and powerful man, even if he was wearing a Confucian robe, he also had the appearance of a martial artist, and he couldn't help but look at Qiu Xiaobei a few more times.
It was rumored by friends that Fan Shenxi had recently been particularly fond of a little eunuch, and I thought it would be her.
However, Qiu Xiaobei didn't react to the arrival of these two people at all, his eyes were only staring at the prince in a wheelchair, and there was no trace of attention to share with the others.
Seeing this, Ying Shurong tilted his head towards her and whispered, "What, don't you feel uncomfortable looking at it like this?" Your Highness will marry someone else. β
Judging from the relationship between Father-in-law Pei and Fan Shenxi in Zuiyuanlou, who was full of pink bubbles, and later she was imprisoned in the secret prison of the Criminal Department, and Fan Shenxi collapsed the entire Criminal Department for her, she wanted to be tired of Fan Shenxi, and he cut off his head as a chair to sit on.
He was very worried about whether His Royal Highness, who was also a master and friend, had really broken off his sleeves with a eunuch, knowing that he was going to marry a normal woman, he should rest assured, but he always felt a little wrong in his heart.
There is a faint premonition that tonight's wedding will definitely go wrong.
Now seeing Gonggong Pei standing here, staring intently at His Royal Highness the Prince, Ying Shurong suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis, and stood in front of Gonggong Pei, blocking her from rushing out: "I'll tell you, don't come to rob your relatives, if you really do it, Brother Fan doesn't want to protect you, it is estimated that he will be in big trouble himself." β
The emperor may not be able to abolish Fan Shenxi now, but it is not difficult to kill a little eunuch, and he can make a big fuss about this incident to hit Fan Shenxi.
"Hey, did you hear me speak, stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood, don't be stupid and throw away your own life." When he saw that Qiu Xiaobei ignored her completely, he gently bumped her back with his arm, and as a result, he actually crashed into the air-
As soon as he turned around, he saw Gonggong Pei retreating, and exiting the crowd all the way out of the happy hall.
So, the arm rerouted and bumped into the friend next to him: "What's wrong with him?" β
Really moved by her own words, sad and decided to stay away from this place that made her sad?
Ling Mojue glanced at him indifferently, his eyes were like looking at an idiot!
β¦β¦
Qiu Xiaobei rushed out of the crowd, left the happy hall, trotted out of the main hall, and almost bumped into Jing'an, who came to find someone, Jing'an held her: "Father-in-law, why did you come here, the slave has been looking for you for a long time, are you okay?" What's going on? β
Qiu Xiaobei shook her head, pushed her aside and hurriedly walked out, but as soon as she got outside, she stopped abruptly, as if she had suddenly lost the target of her tracking, and she didn't know where to go, she looked around anxiously, Donggong said that Xiao was really not small, but she didn't know where Fan Shenxi would be, she regretted that she had been hiding in the pharmacy today, and she knew that she would definitely follow him closely.
Yes, it was not Fan Shenxi who was worshipping Wei Qing inside at this time.
No matter how similar it is, Qiu Xiaobei can still detect something wrong at first glance.
At first, she thought that she was feeling wrong, so she kept staring at the man in the wheelchair, from the time he just arrived at the door until he walked past her, almost the moment she was closest to the man, she was extremely firm in her thoughts.
But the "prince" who is worshipping in the hall is not Fan Shenxi, so where is her Royal Highness?
Did he deliberately let people imitate himself to worship for him, or did he ...... Or was something unexpected and was maliciously replaced?
Either way, it didn't reassure her, needless to say the latter, and the former wasn't much better, who knows if something happened to him to find someone to replace him.
She was extremely hesitant in her heart, those unwarranted speculations scared her, and she was bent on finding Fan Shenxi quickly, but after rushing out, she found that she didn't know where to find him.
She hadn't seen him since yesterday, because she felt that she might not be able to pass the level in her heart, but now she regrets it incomparably.
She should follow him, cling to him, so that he doesn't know where he has gone now.
"Your Highness, Your Highness......" she muttered in her mouth, and the person spun along, she felt as if she was starved of oxygen, and the whole world spun, and she staggered and almost fell, and was held up by Jing'an.
She didn't care about what Jing'an could see, staring at a certain place and asking anxiously:
"Xiao Jia, do you know where His Highness is?"
Xiaobei's voice was not loud, and Jing'an thought she was asking her: "Isn't Your Highness worshipping inside, father-in-law, are you okay?" β
Xiao Jia said helplessly: "You know, we ghosts don't dare to get close to him for half a step, how can we know where he is?" Oh, there's a lot of dragon energy in the dormitory, do you want to go there and have a look? β
As he spoke, he shrugged again: "But that's where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sleeps, even if he doesn't have it for a month, it is estimated that the dragon qi will not completely dissipate." β
This suggestion is really useless, but Qiu Xiaobei is now a headless fly, as soon as he heard the dormitory, he subconsciously felt that it was there, and rushed towards the direction of the dormitory in a panic.
Jing'an followed closely behind her: "Gonggong Pei, don't go so fast, be careful." β
But he didn't ask her where she was going, it seemed that her mission was just to keep her safe.
Compared with the liveliness of the main hall, and the magnificence of the princess's bedroom for the newlyweds to enter the cave room tonight, the main hall of the prince is almost no different from usual except for being decorated with red ribbons, which will be no one else here except for the gatekeepers.
The doors and windows of the dormitory are closed, and there is nothing inside that can be seen outside, compared with the excitement of the main hall, the prince's dormitory is like the down-and-out East Palace, silent.
"Grandpa Pei." The guard guarding the door bowed his hand to her, and before she could speak, he opened the door of the temple and gestured for her to enter.
When she got here, seeing the reaction of the guards, Qiu Xiaobei was a little confused, although she usually went in and out of this dormitory, and the guards didn't stop her, but how could there be a kind of today, the guards had been waiting for a long time?
Although it was a little strange, but Fan Shenxi was concerned, Qiu Xiaobei still walked in, thinking about where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was the whole time, and didn't notice that Jing'an followed her outside the dormitory, so he didn't follow her in again, just looked at her with a smile outside until the door of the dormitory was closed again.
It's naturally not dark, the lights are lit, and it's also decorated with a lot of red items, which looks very festive, but it's different from the dazzling feeling of the red in the hall, the red in this room actually gives her a warm feeling, maybe because the former is matched with all kinds of mixed sounds, and it's so quiet that you can vaguely hear your own heartbeat.
Your Highness, isn't it here?
She paused, and continued her way inside, to the bedroom.
Still didn't see Fan Shenxi, Qiu Xiaobei was about to turn around and leave to look elsewhere, no matter whether the atmosphere here was weird or not, she couldn't care about anything else before she saw Fan Shenxi.
But as soon as she turned around, she turned back, and her eyes were fixed on the wedding dress on the table.
She couldn't control her legs and walked over.
The wedding dress was spread out on the table, because of the length of the wedding dress, the skirt hung down from the edge of the table, no matter how you look at it, this is all a ...... It's even more beautiful than the one Wei Qing wore!
Compared with the thickness of Wei Qing's piece, this piece looks lighter and thinner, because it is woven with rarer silk, which looks a little floating, but the edges and corners it carries, pearls and gemstones, exquisite handmade textures, and the overall style ...... It is the most beautiful wedding dress in her ideals.
"Do you like it?"
Hearing the voice, Qiu Xiaobei's mind didn't come back to his senses, his body had already turned around spontaneously, and he saw the man who was also in a wheelchair, but could make her heart beat faster, slowly pushed over, and then stopped in front of her.
"You haven't answered me yet, do you like it?" Fan Shenxi asked about the wedding dress, and there was only Qiu Xiaobei in his eyes, he used "I", not "Bengong".
"Your Highness, Your Highness?" Qiu Xiaobei called him gently, but she couldn't answer his question, she didn't dare to answer, she couldn't figure out what was going on now.
"Don't like it?" Fan Shenxi smiled slightly self-deprecatingly, "I thought you would like it." β
Qiu Xiaobei swallowed his saliva: "Your Highness, why are you here?" Isn't it supposed to ...... "in the Hall of Joy and the Hall of Worship of Weiqing?"
A strong and urgent expectation rose in her heart, but she was afraid that it was not what she thought, so she forced herself to suppress that expectation.
Fan Shenxi didn't answer and asked: "Then can you tell me first, why did you go to Xitang just now?" β
"The slave thinks that you are married, so naturally he wants to go and bless him."
"Really?"
"When, of course ......"
Do you really want to be so aggrieved?
Think about what kind of mood you rushed to Xitang, think about the determination at that time, think about the decision to even snatch your relatives and be chased and beheaded, how can you still be so cowardly?
"Of course not!" The floating heart was unprecedentedly firm at this moment, in fact, thinking about it, she could catch up on such a difficult "journey", what else was there to be afraid of, she looked at him without any evasion, "I, I'm just going to stop you from getting married." β
There was a bit of bump at the beginning, but after she really said it, it was smooth, and she almost half-shouted it.
Then the two of them fell silent in an instant.
"Stop me, get married?" He spoke, his face flat and unable to see emotion, "Why?" β
Qiu Xiaobei didn't know if it was an illusion, under Fan Shenxi's calm skin, a pair of eyes were full of compulsion, in this case, she couldn't tell a lie: "Because, because I don't want you to marry someone else, Your Highness, you, you are mine!" β
looked at each other, apprehensive and uncertain, and unwilling to give up admitting defeat, which made Qiu Xiaobei's whole body tremble.
His good-looking eyes locked on her at this moment, and he couldn't hear a happy and angry question: "I, is it yours?" β
She nodded, and nodded several times in quick succession.
"Why am I yours?"
Qiu Xiaobei: "......"
"Speak."
"Because, because I like you!" Her tears rushed out, the whole person was in a state of collapse, and the person also trembled from a slight tremor because of crying, and then squatted on the ground because she couldn't stand, "Because I like you, Fan Shenxi," she looked up at him, "My surname is Qiu, my name is Qiu Xiaobei, I, I've liked you for a long, long time......"
It was so long that she lost him once, and she didn't want to lose it again.
Fan Shenxi didn't answer, he pushed the wheelchair towards her, stopped when he was so close to her that he was about to bump into her who was kneeling on the ground, and stretched out his hand to her.
She thought he was going to hit her, but she couldn't bear to close her eyes, so her eyes widened and she held her breathβhis hand on her cheek.
"After that, I'll call you Xiaobei."
What, what?
Tears were still hanging on her eyelashes, and she didn't understand what he meant.
"You haven't answered me yet, do you like it?" He led her to look at the wedding dress on the table next to her again, Qiu Xiaobei's current angle, the lower skirt can be seen more clearly, and he can find that this wedding dress is estimated to have taken a lot of thought, too delicate.
"This is, I specially asked someone to prepare it for you."
What the!?
She quickly turned her head and looked at Fan Shenxi in dismay.
And he, leaning forward, almost touched hers with his forehead, that was ...... It was a beautiful scene, she knelt in front of his wheelchair, and he leaned forward above her, as if he could kiss her a little further down.
She didn't dare to blink at him, he had always been used to hiding, and her eyes were full of tenderness, so that she was afraid that this was her own illusion, and one hand subconsciously grabbed his arm.
"From the second time my father proposed to let me marry Wei Qing as the crown princess, I secretly asked someone to make this wedding dress and made it for you."
Originally, he just saw that she cared so much about Wei Qing marrying into the East Palace, and felt that he should prepare such a wedding dress for her, but at that time, he was not sure when he would let her wear it, he had too many concerns, and sometimes he would feel that the relationship with her was too strong, and even he was incredible, thinking that he had been tricked.
But the closer he got to the wedding, he couldn't understand why he was so irritable, and he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and every time he went to see the emperor, he would have the urge to oppose him desperately.
When she came back from Nei Tingsi, he knew that she must know the date of his marriage, so he took her to Xingyue Tower, trying to make her happy, but when she nestled into his arms, she said that she would come at least once a month in the future, whether it was winter or not, and hug her together to keep warm when it was cold.
At that time, he flashed a strong thought, if he could hug her and look at the stars every night, he would be willing to live an ordinary life.
But he knows better that if he doesn't fight and leaves, his father, his brothers and sisters, and even those royal relatives will not let him go, they won't believe that he really doesn't care about the imperial power, they don't believe that he won't come back if he leaves, they will definitely do everything they can to kill him, no matter how capable he is, how can he give her and her children a stable life in this full pursuit.
However, even so, he still went to urge the person who made the wedding dress to speed up, and at that time he had a vague idea in his mind, but it was not clear.
Until, he got a message that made the decision in his heart confirm it logically.
"Your Highness," Qiu Xiaobei grabbed his clothes and lifted his body up, equally eager for an answer, "Why are you, not in Xitang, why, let someone replace you?" β
He raised his lips and smiled: "Because I want to marry you, I will not allow myself and other women to stand in the hall of joy and worship, even if it is just for show." β
Because, can't make you sad!
"Marry me?" The tears slipped into her mouth and she tasted it, but she couldn't tell whether it was sweet or salty, and her hand unconsciously touched his cheek, "But I'm just a eunuch, a man." β
"Then I have to marry," he put his hands around her waist, so that she had a support when she stood up, and her forehead was already close to her forehead, so close, but she had to confirm again and again, "What are you, I will marry, only you!" β
Her eyes were red from crying, and she sobbed because of excitement: "You have never, never said such nice words, like a dream, I, can I believe it?" β
His answer was to bow down and kiss her.
In the midst of the intensity, it is full of firmness, and it is hard to make each other feel the pain, and let the other party know that it is true!
He hooked her and asked her to dance with him, and no one could leave anyone behind.
After the kiss ended, he lingered on the corner of her mouth and refused to let go.
She asked, "Is this also for me?" β
"No, it's a kiss, it's the lover's favorite thing to do." He gave her a serious "popularization": "Do you understand, I can teach you again." β
She put her arms around him, grabbed the clothes on his back, and leaned forward to kiss him.
Considering that it was not good for her to sit on the ground, he pulled her up and led her to the wedding dress again: "This is the fourth time I have asked, do you like it, if you don't answer, I'm too shameless." β
Qiu Xiaobei deliberately asked, "If you want me to say I don't like it?" β
"I don't like what to keep doing." Saying this, Fan Shenxi reached out to touch the wedding dress.
Thinking that he was going to destroy it, Qiu Xiaobei nervously took the first step to protect it: "What do you want to do, this is mine, you are not allowed to do anything to it!" β
Fan Shenxi smiled and said: "I haven't married yet, so I will lose my temper with my husband?" β
Qiu Xiaobei was a little embarrassed and at a loss, but even so, she still held her wedding dress to her chest, and only looked at him helplessly.
Even if she gets his personal acknowledgment and promise, she is still floating, for fear that it will be fake, terrified, afraid that she has done something wrong, and the unreal happiness she has just obtained will be gone soon.
Fan Shenxi's eyes immediately softened: "What are you worried about, if you don't like it, I'll let people do it again, but tonight, you won't be able to wear it." β
"No, no, this one is very good, it's very good, IβI like it very much." She wiped the wetness off her face and said hurriedly, suddenly reacting, "What did you just say, wear it tonight?" β
He didn't answer directly, but said, "Since you like it, then, change it now and show me, huh?" β
Her cheeks flushed, she nodded her head at his expectant gaze, and then took a full set of wedding dresses behind the large screen, which was another small room that was divided, and where the tub was already filled with hot water.
Although it was strange that she was just trying to change it, why did she have to freshen up, but since the water was all prepared here, she also cleaned herself properly.
After washing, standing in front of the wedding dress again, she was still very excited, this is, this is specially prepared for her, it was prepared for her by the person she was thinking about, if it weren't for Fan Shenxi still waiting outside, she probably didn't know how long she would have to stand stupidly in front of the wedding dress.
It wasn't until the moment she was about to change that she realized that the wedding dress was the girl's wedding dress...... This is not a sick sentence, she has forgotten before, she is a "man".
So, Fan Shenxi, did she really guess that she was a woman?
For a while, the tide of my heart was surging, and the ups and downs were joy and nervousness, determination and fear.
The wedding dress is very cumbersome, she spent a lot of time and only barely put it on, hesitated for a long time, she finally did not put on the simulated chest skin that she took off in the bath, and put on the belly pocket that matched the wedding dress, although all kinds of uncomfortable and awkward, afraid that Fan Shenxi would wait too long, and hurried out after a few deep breaths.
But Fan Shenxi was no longer in the bedroom, only quietly standing in front of her and smiling at her.
