Chapter 23: The Great Wedding

In the blink of an eye, in October, after a few autumn rains, the weather suddenly cooled down, and the autumn leaves that were originally proud of the branches could not support the blowing of the autumn wind after all, and scattered on the ground trembling. It is no longer a strong symbol of homesickness and poignancy in the eyes of poets and artists, but has become a dead branch and willow that everyone can trample under their feet, and the layers are so many that people are bored.

No matter how beautiful things are, there will be a day when they wither and make people tired! Looking at the fallen leaves in the forest, Shen Lian thought while drinking.

The replacement of the old and the new is a natural law, but in the eyes of people, it is often connected with itself and makes people sentimental, which is probably the so-called autumn mourning.

"What are you looking at? So fascinating? Su Wan stepped into the forest quickly, holding a pot of Jiuyu Spring Wine in her hand, and Lu Qixiang followed behind her, "There are so many fallen leaves in this yard, and they don't sweep them." ”

"Eh, what a rarity!" Shen Lian was very surprised by Su Wan's arrival, "Today is the king's wedding day, don't you have to wait by your side?" ”

"It should have been, but Fang Fei wanted to wait for me, and the king agreed, so I let her go." Su Wan went to Shen Lian's side, picked up the wine jug and brought herself a glass of wine, "It just so happened that the king had something to tell you, so I came." ”

"Oh, that's right." Knowing the cause and effect, Shen Lian smiled, "This Fangfei girl is really affectionate to the king." ”

"yes." Su Wan drank another glass of wine, "The girl's thoughts, in the eyes of others, are the most understandable." ”

"Look at this fallen leaf, probably the same as Miss Fangfei's intention, it is going to fall." Shen Lian said, "With her identity, the king probably won't accept it." ”

"Who knows? Whether it is a leaf or a flower, there will be a day when it will wither and wither, but spring and summer are also beautiful. The same is true of people's feelings, since there is love, it must be expressed well, so as not to live up to this emotion. Su Wan looked at the fallen leaves, with a little nostalgia in her eyes, and said, "The king is a person who disdains worldly prejudices, if he can accept Fang Fei's wishes, it would be good, after all, that child treats the king wholeheartedly." ”

"That's what you think." Shen Lian raised his eyes and looked at Su Wan thoughtfully.

In the palace city, as if separated from the autumn scenery, what catches the eye is the overwhelming red, red lanterns, red candles, red carpets spread all over the palace, the red wall paint that has just been repainted a few days ago, the bare branches are also wrapped with red satin, and even the palace people's every move also reveals the joy of red.

Xiao Zhi sat in the main hall, different from the festive atmosphere, he wore a crown of no Yu, a dark red cardigan robe, symbolizing the sky, and dark trousers, symbolizing the earth, metaphorizing the harmony of yin and yang. Wearing the sword of the Son of Heaven with him, the coat is an ink-colored robe, and the dragon pattern is embroidered with fine gold thread, which is upright and heavy, low-key and restrained.

His heart was in turmoil, although he knew that this day would come sooner or later, and he thought he was ready, but when it came to this moment, he was still a little at a loss.

I also talked about a few girlfriends in my previous life, but because I didn't have a serious career, they were all divided and combined, and in the end, they didn't work.

A woman he has never met is about to become his pillow person, and he still feels a little resistant to this matter.

Feudalism kills people! When you are in power in the future, you must advocate free love!

The mighty send-off procession passed through the gate of the palace slowly, and the abrupt sound of silk and bamboo disturbed Xiao Zhen's thoughts, has it arrived? He looked at the palace gate with some nervousness.

The sedan chair stopped steadily at the door of the main hall, and several women wearing yellow robes next to them helped a woman out of the sedan chair and slowly walked towards the palace.

The woman's head is covered with a hijab, she can't see her appearance clearly, the clothes are complicated, layered on top of each other, the outermost part is a wide bright yellow robe, which is decorated with pearls, and there are all kinds of gold and emerald flowers on the hairpin, which makes people can't take their eyes off it, a pair of huge golden pearl earrings, dignified and solemn, everything is carefully dressed according to the queen's grade, and it is extremely luxurious.

The woman paced to Xiao Zhi's side and stopped, and Xiao Zhi held her hand as a courtesy.

"The auspicious time has arrived, go to the temple to see the ceremony, and play music!" The eunuch Li Hui shouted in a loud voice.

The long-awaited ceremonial ensemble began to play, and the sound of music echoed in the palace of Nuoda, solemn and low.

"Kneel in front of the incense case, kneel in front of them! Incense, two incense, three incense! ”

"Worship heaven and earth." The two of them faced the outside of the temple gate and knelt down in unison.

"Two worship the high hall." The two turned around and knelt deeply in front of the old queen mother sitting upright.

"Okay, good ......" The old queen mother muttered in her mouth, already with tears in her eyes, crying with joy, and kept nodding her head at the two of them.

"Husband and wife worship each other." The two bowed deeply to each other, and then got up, they were already husband and wife.

"Rite over!"

Xiao Zhi took Sima Qing's hand and walked outside the hall, and the ministers were already waiting, congratulating in unison, "Great Blessings!" Queen Chitose! ”

"Sure enough, it is an auspicious day, and Qin Tianjian has calculated well, which is suitable for weddings and funerals." Su Wan looked outside, the night was clear, the bright moonlight and a slight cool breeze guarded the night, and dense stars scattered all over the sky.

"When the time comes, the king should enter the cave now." Shen Lian said with a smile while drinking.

"Yes, this can be regarded as an adult, and I think I will be more mature in the future." Su Wan stretched her waist, "With the queen in the future, I can save a lot of worry." ”

"I think the king is very mature, and it has nothing to do with age." Shen Lian recalled the scene of talking to Xiao Zhi before, "Don't you think? ”

"Words and deeds are often unruly, but there is no ambiguity in major matters." Su Wan thought for a while, "It's a somewhat contradictory person. ”

The moonlight was bright, and the two chatted about the friction in Yuqing Palace a few days ago while drinking, they were already slightly drunk, and after a while, Shen Lian looked at Su Wan, "Su Wan, do you have anyone you like?" ”

"Nope." Su Wan didn't think about it and replied, "I'm used to being alone, and it's troublesome for many people around me." ”

"Didn't you understand that when you said Miss Fang Fei just now? Since you have love, you must express it well, so as not to live up to this emotion. With the strength of wine, Shen Lian asked with a smile, "You have lived for more than 20 years, and there is no one who has feelings for him?" ”

"No, I don't believe in this emotion, and I don't have this kind of mind for anyone." Su Wan looked at the sky, looking a little lonely, "That's why I encourage Fang Fei to express it, because it is not easy to have such an emotion, and it is necessary to cherish it." ”

After reading it, he was sad and sad, and Shen Lian quietly changed the topic, "What did you just say about the things entrusted to me by the king?" ”

"yes, I forgot." Su Wan shook her head, trying her best to leave her past thoughts behind, "The king said, I often meet you in this Jiyi Building, I am afraid that I will be discovered by Cao Ze's eyeliner after a long time, and the next time I have something important to meet you alone, I will ask Lord Sima Ni to send you an invitation, and you can go to Sima Mansion." ”

"I see, it's safer." Shen Lian smiled, "But Miss Su Wan can come to me directly, I'll be waiting for you at any time." ”

"Alright, don't be flamboyant." After finishing the business, Su Wan got up, "When the message arrives, I'll go back, really, drinking with you has become more talkative." ”

Shen Lian watched this Su Wan leave, and found that he still knew very little about her.

What kind of person is she?

What kind of person is she? Xiao Zhi thought.

After a series of complicated rituals, it was already night, and the palace people surrounded Xiao Zhi and Sima Qing into the cave room, and they all retreated.
