Chapter 414: Night
Li Xian and his wife presided over the night banquet together, and they had to meet Xue Shao and Princess Taiping a few times.
After Xue Shao took a closer look at Crown Princess Wei, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart - isn't this current crown princess the famous "Queen Wei" in history who wants to be Wu Zetian's second? …… is really beautiful, no wonder Li Xian, who is gathered in the beauty nest, will also fall in love with her at first sight!
It can be seen that the crown princess Wei Xianger is working hard to play the role of the wedding master of ceremonies and socialite, she also shuttles back and forth among the guests with a big belly, sometimes smiling and sometimes elegant, blooming her feminine charm without hesitation.
Princess Taiping always stood side by side with Xue Shao, thanking the guests and toasting together. After watching Wei Xiang'er's performance for a while, Princess Taiping couldn't help but muttered in a low voice, "Such a woman, she really doesn't know decency!" ”
"What's wrong?" Xue Shao asked in a low voice.
Princess Taiping showed a trace of displeasure on her face and said in a low voice: "Although this Wei Xiang'er was born in Chang'an with the surname Wei, her father is only a seven-grade county official, and he is in a broken household. She is obviously just a shallow woman from a humble background who doesn't know the etiquette of the nobility, but since she became the crown princess, she has become self-righteous and self-righteous. You see that she is now, with a big belly and coquettish everywhere, thinking that everyone will love and admire her. is so ignorant of restraint, the prince's brother will be killed by her sooner or later! ”
Xue Shao couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart, it seemed that Wei Xiang'er had no status and was not likable in the royal family, at least not to be treated by Princess Taiping...... It's no wonder that with a fierce personality like Princess Taiping, how could she like a woman like Wei Xianger who is so flamboyant that she doesn't know how to measure?
"Well, ignore her." Xue Shao smiled indifferently and comforted Princess Taiping, "You are the hostess of tonight's banquet!" ”
At his own wedding banquet, there were other women who were here to publicize and unbridle, and no one could be happy. Xue Shao's words almost touched Princess Taiping's heart, and she smiled at the moment, "Xue Lang, you're right!" I don't know the same kind of women from humble backgrounds! ”
As she was talking, the crown princess Wei Xiang'er walked towards Xue Shao and Princess Taiping with a smile.
The maid brought a few glasses of wine, and Wei Xiang'er raised a glass, "Xue Yuma and Her Royal Highness the Princess are really a match made in heaven, which is enviable!" Please allow me to toast you husband and wife, and wish you a hundred years of happiness and old age! ”
As she spoke, Wei Xiang'er's silky eyes had completely ignored Princess Taiping, staring directly at Xue Shao, as if she was going to pull him away from Princess Taiping's side.
Princess Taiping's mind is so delicate, and she has long seen Wei Xiang'er unpleasant, so she is already angry at this time. It's just that she didn't have a seizure on the spot because of the fact that there were many guests, and there was even a smile on her face, but the words she said were cold, "The crown princess is pregnant with Liujia, so don't drink too much." ”
Wei Xiang'er was stunned when she heard this, as if she was awakened by a large bucket of ice water poured on her head, and the little drunkenness she had before disappeared in an instant. She hurriedly put the glass of wine in her hand on the maid's tray, and said with a slightly hasty smile: "What Her Royal Highness the princess says is true, and what she says is true...... Then I'll not toast! I wish the two of you a happy and healthy child! ”
"Thank you." Princess Taiping replied lukewarmly.
Wei Xiang'er smiled unnaturally and found an excuse to leave in a hurry. Soon, she disappeared into the crowd.
"Humph!" Staring at Wei's back, Princess Taiping still didn't let go of the cold snort, very disdainful.
It was a matter of the royal family, and Xue Shao didn't know how to interject, so he had always been a cold observer. Now he basically understands that the current Wei Xiang'er is not an order of magnitude opponent compared to Princess Taiping. Nominally, she is Princess Taiping's sister-in-law and the crown princess's name is loud enough, but in Princess Taiping's heart, Princess Wei's image and status may not even be as good as her as a confidant and maidservant.
"There's no need to spoil your mood because of a little thing." After Wei Xiang'er left, Xue Shao comforted Princess Taiping.
Princess Taiping also woke up quickly, and said with a smile: "You're right! Today is a good day for us! ”
The newlyweds and young couples continue to enjoy their wedding banquet happily.
According to general folk customs, at this time, the bride must be hiding in the cave room, waiting for the groom to accompany the guests before going to the cave room to spend candles. The wedding banquet of the royal family, after all, is not the same as the folk practice. At this moment, Princess Taiping is one of the natural protagonists, and if she is not present, this night banquet will be incomplete.
With grand singing and dancing, wonderful and musical music and cheerful crowds, the joy of the night banquet hall seemed to never end.
But in a corner of the shade of a tree, Concubine Wei was quietly hiding alone, with red eyes, gritted teeth and tears. When the crown prince Li Xian disappeared, his beloved concubine shouted everywhere that it was not easy to find her, and he was both annoyed and distressed: "Xiang'er, why did you hide here alone?" ”
"What does it have to do with you?" Wei Xiang'er happened to have no place to get out of the fire in her belly, and when she saw Li Xian, it was like pinching a soft pimple, and she broke out on the spot.
"This ...... What's wrong with you? "Li Xianzhang and the second King Kong can't figure their heads.
"Come here!" Wei Xiang'er angrily pulled Li Xian to her side, and the two hid in the dark together, gritting her teeth and saying, "Let me ask you, when you married me, did you have such a grand and magnificent wedding banquet?" ”
"This ......" Li Xian grinned dryly, "This time, that time!" ”
"Look at your!" Wei Xiang'er was just angry, and said angrily, "Why can't you be like that Xue Shao, and also show some of the style and momentum of a man's husband?!" ”
"How can it be!" Li Xian no matter how bad his temper was, he couldn't allow his wife to be counted like this, so he was angry at the moment, "How can you talk to me like this, I'm your husband!" Or the current prince and the future monarch! ”
"Do you remember that you are the current prince and the future monarch?" Wei Xiang'er sneered, "Your sister is married, and you, the crown prince, came with the crown princess to cheer and cheer up, trying your best to help them entertain the guests, and you have given enough color everywhere and at all times." But your sister didn't take me, the princess, the princess, in the eyes at all, and treated me like a slave! - When did others treat you as a prince? You told me about it? ”
"......" Li Xian's face turned white and red for a while, sighed heavily, and then fell into a speechless silence.
Wei Xiang'er stared at Li Xian with an ugly face on the side, lamenting his misfortune and anger, and was speechless all the time.
On the other hand, the night banquet was going on lively.
One of the princesses' weddings, Chen Xian'er appeared on the stage to dance. As early as many days ago, Chen Xian'er had already become famous in the palace with her wonderful dancing posture. It's just that for most people, they only hear Chen Xian'er's name, and it is difficult to see him.
When Chen Xian'er appeared on the stage wearing a neon dress and feather coat made by Princess Taiping herself, the audience was amazed, like a big star's concert kicked off.
Chen Xian'er's dance did not disappoint everyone, and the reaction of the guests can be described as "fascinated".
Compared with the 21st century, entertainment in the Tang Dynasty can only be described as "poor". Xue Shao certainly likes Chen Xian'er's dance, but it is far less exaggerated than the appearance of those guests.
Princess Taiping squinted at Xue Shao and said in an urn voice, "Do you like it?" ”
"Okay." Xue Shao thought she was asking about dance.
"Do you see that countless people are fascinated by her wonderful dancing and delicate face?" Princess Taiping said again, "You will be able to share the bed with him immediately, Wushan Yunyu." Isn't God favoring you too much? ”
"Uh......" Xue Shao came back to his senses at this time, turned his head to look at her, and his face was uncertain.
"Humph!" Princess Taiping's very proud little face raised, and the corners of her mouth curled, "Hear me clearly-tonight, you are my own!" ”
Xue Shao laughed, but he was relieved in his heart...... I'm already tired in the afternoon, and if I have to deal with those few concubines in the evening, I will definitely be powerless. Besides, there's nothing wrong with leaving Princess Taiping with a perfect memory of the two-person world on their wedding night!
The grand night banquet is finally over. The guests said goodbye one after another, and Xue Shao sent them off one by one.
The crown prince Li Xian and his wife were also dutiful and left until the end, and at this time, only the servants and maids were left to clean up the banquet table. Xue Shao personally escorted him and his wife into the carriage, Li Xian was already a little drunk, and when he got into the car, he fell down, and his speech was a little unclear.
When the crown princess Wei Xiang'er got into the car, she deliberately stumbled and tilted, Xue Shao hurriedly reached out and helped her waist, and Wei Xiang'er fell to Xue Shao.
Xue Shao neither hid nor stood still, and said indifferently: "Crown princess, be careful." ”
"Thank you, Xue Concubine." Wei Xiang'er thanked her softly, and her expression was full of charm.
Xue Shao frowned slightly, this woman is really coquettish, and her husband with a big belly is still around, so she dares to be so pretentious!
Li Xian and his wife got into the car, and Xue Shao bowed his hand to him.
"Xue Juma, go back quickly!" Wei Xiang'er lifted the car window, and said with an ambiguous smile that covered her red lips, "The Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, don't let Her Royal Highness the princess wait for a long time!" ”
Xue Shao smiled and nodded.
"But if you have time, you might as well come to the East Palace often." Wei Xiang'er was still smiling, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I will definitely accompany you!" ”
"Thank you Crown Princess for your kindness!" Xue Shao gave up.
"Farewell." Wei Xiang'er said this, but did not lower the curtain. Letting the carriage move forward, her eyes were still glued to Xue Shao's body like silk threads, as if she wanted to pull him away with her.
Out of politeness, Xue Shao stood still and gave the prince and his wife a send-off. It wasn't until the carriage went away that Xue Shaofang breathed a sigh of relief and wiped a cold sweat - there is no grass at the end of the world, no one to provoke, don't mess with Wei Xiang'er, a fox spirit who is enough to bring disaster to the country and the people!
After settling down, Xue Shao's heart felt a faint throbbing...... Enron, I'm coming!
Tonight, it belongs to you and me!
