Chapter 182: Zhao Yinyue
Li Xian never thought that the matter between him and Zhao Yinyue would progress so quickly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info had just discussed the marriage with him less than half a month later, and he was told to go to the wedding seven days later.
This is already the final step of the Six Rites of Marriage! The five steps of Nacai, Asking for Names, Najib, Najib, and Asking for Dates had already been quietly carried out without him, and such an act was really unbearable.
But no matter how unbearable it is, you have to endure it, this is obviously the queen mother's test for herself, if she dares to resist, I am afraid that she will immediately suffer immeasurable consequences, which Li Xian, who does not want to make extraneous branches at all, does not want to see.
"Arranged marriage, this is an arranged marriage, but I haven't seen Zhao Yinyue until now, whether Zhao Yinyue is beautiful or ugly, eh, it seems that even if she is beautiful, it has nothing to do with me, right? This is my aunt's generation, no matter how beautiful she is, can I still do anything with her? Li Xian's heart felt extremely ridiculous, but even so, he could only pinch his nose and admit it.
After the personal welcome, Li Xian did meet Zhao Yinyue's parents, the eldest princess seems to be a very responsible person, but who knows if her heart is as unique as her appearance?
But to Li Xian's surprise, his father-in-law Zhao Gui was a rough man, and he knew at a glance that he had no scheming, but he was extremely sincere to his son-in-law.
However, although he seems to know etiquette very well on the surface, Li Xian knows that this marriage is destined to be a tragedy, and I believe that in the future, Zhao Gui, a rough man, will never have this kind of sincerity again.
After a day of red tape, Li Xian was so tired that he almost collapsed, but he knew that this was just the beginning.
Under the light, Li Xian picked up the bride's hijab with a weighing rod according to the custom, and suddenly felt that his eyes lit up, because the bride in front of him was apricot eyes and peach cheeks, willow eyebrows like daisies, long hair like waterfalls, and skin as white as snow.
"Alas, I can't see the virtue of this woman for the time being, but her appearance is indeed otherworldly, and I feel pity, but what can this be? It's better to look bad, if you don't look good, I don't feel a pity in my heart, now this way, but it makes me even more distressed in my heart, such a beauty turned out to be one of my aunts, although at this time people's concept of etiquette is not like the later Song Ming, for such marriages are also used to it, plus several emperors of my Tang Dynasty are ridiculous, so my marriage is actually nothing, but I have never been able to accept this, and the most speechless thing is, This person was ordered by the queen mother to come to monitor me, and to separate the relationship between me and the crown prince Li Xian, although Li Xian and I were originally separated, and it didn't matter if they were separated, but just the fact that she was ordered by the queen mother, I still couldn't accept it. ā
Li Xian looked at the beauty in front of him with a pair of eyes, but he smiled bitterly in his heart, such a peerless beauty was sent in front of him, and she was also his legitimate woman, he really couldn't raise the slightest interest, or he couldn't mention interest at all, this kind of torment was painful.
And the person in front of her didn't know what Li Xian was thinking, so she saw Li Xian pick up her hijab, and then she was so stunned, and she didn't take further action for a long, long time.
At the beginning, Zhao Yinyue thought that the other party was stunned by her appearance, and she was quite proud in her heart, after all, for such a famous figure as Li Xian, the king of Zhou, she was already in the deep boudoir, and the hero complex in her heart made her admire this Li Xian very much, and said that beauties love heroes, if this beauty can get the love of such a hero, then her life is worth it.
But after a long time, at least in her opinion, this time is long enough, Li Xian is very reluctant to take the initiative to take the next step, such as drinking the wine, which is drunk under the urging of everyone, and the gift of knotting is also like a piece of wood, at first Zhao Yinyue thought that Li Xian was reserved, but later gradually found out, where is this reserved? is obviously dissatisfied with this marriage with himself.
Zhao Yinyue broke her head and couldn't think of why Li Xian was dissatisfied, but now is not the time for her to get to the bottom of it, and she can't care about getting to the bottom of it, because now she can only forcibly suppress the sadness in her heart, and then pretend to be very happy, and cooperate with everyone to finish this play.
Finally all the guests dispersed, and the new room, which had felt too small, was now empty, and the two of them sat on the couch without saying a word to each other, and there was still some distance between them.
Zhao Yinyue's heart longed for this distance to be reduced, but she was disappointed to see that her heroic "husband" did not move.
"We have worshipped heaven and earth, drunk wine, and held the ceremony of tying the hair, which means that you have become my husband, and I am like a heavenly existence in this world, but now, you treat me like this, how can I feel embarrassed? How will I live my life in the future? Zhao Yinyue sighed deeply in her heart, but she saw that Li Xian was still so motionless, so she had to grit her teeth and decide, even if she left an unvirtuous impression in the eyes of the other party, she had to go through this first pass first.
So Zhao Yinyue took the initiative to lean over and said gently: "King, you are also tired for a day, it's time to rest, the concubine is here for you to be wide-dressed......"
Zhao Yinyue was about to do it as she spoke, but when she saw that Li Xian seemed to have been stung by a bee, she immediately jumped up, and then said: "You can rest by yourself, by the way, this big bed belongs to you, and this couch belongs to me, I move the couch to the other side of the room every night, and move it back the next morning." By the way, if you still have some affection, I hope you don't talk about it in front of the queen mother. And in front of outsiders, I will definitely treat you as a real princess. ā
After finishing speaking, he didn't see how hard Li Xian was, so he lifted the couch, and then gently put it on the other side of the room, and then Li Xian slapped the burning red candle, extinguished the red candle, and then said: "You should rest early, and you will go to see my father and queen mother tomorrow morning." ā
After that, Li Xian lay down on the couch, and after a while, he snored everywhere......
Zhao Yinyue couldn't sleep, because she never thought that with her appearance, she would be treated like this by the other party, and the most heartbreaking thing was that this guy actually extinguished the red candle!
Before he got married, his mother, the eldest princess Changle, confessed in person, that the candlelight of the red candle was not extinguished all night, representing the long-term love between the two, but he actually extinguished the red candle by himself, doesn't this mean that he will bury the affection of the two with his own hands?
Also, what couple did not do those shameful things on the night of entering the cave room, so as to represent that the husband and wife were truly one with each other from now on? But this guy actually came to sleep in a separate bed, which means obviously, he didn't really think of me as a wife at all, but what happened to me? How disgusted you are? If you are so disgusted with me, why did you agree to this marriage in the first place?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yinyue couldn't help but feel full of grievances, and tears flowed out uncontrollably, wetting the pillow, the quilt, and the sad heart.
Zhao Yinyue stayed up almost all night, just stayed up in tears until dawn, and then immediately hid the sorrow in her heart, dressed herself meticulously, and then went with Li Xian to visit her aunt (that is, the meaning of the in-laws of later generations).
As a result, she didn't expect that although she did a lot of cover-up, she was still discovered by the Empress Wu, after all, after a night of tears, her eyes would naturally become red and swollen.
But he heard Empress Wu ask in a deep voice: "Didn't Xian'er bully you last night?" As if you have been wronged, if you have any grievances, tell the queen mother that everything has its own palace to support you. ā
When listening to Empress Wu say such words, even though Li Xian was not afraid, he was a little nervous in his heart, if the other party told Empress Wu what happened last night, I am afraid that he would definitely be suspicious of Empress Wu this time, in fact, he also knew that the best way to deal with it last night was to follow the normal procedure and let Zhao Yinyue really become his wife, but Li Xian couldn't convince him in his heart no matter what, so he was willful, However, in exchange for Zhao Yinyue's sadness overnight and the nervousness in his heart when facing Empress Wu now.
Fortunately, Zhao Yinyue's next words finally put him at ease: "After the enlightenment, the concubine was not wronged, but missed her parents, and she was overwhelmed with grief, and the king was also persuaded bitterly, but the more the king persuaded her, the concubine was uncomfortable, and she cried all night, resulting in the current appearance, the concubine knew that she was guilty, and hoped that the queen of heaven would punish her." ā
"It turns out that this is the case, the woman goes out of the pavilion and misses her parents, which is also normal, although the husband's family will really be your home in the future, after all, it has just arrived in a strange environment, how can there be no reason not to miss your parents? In this way, it can show the pure filial piety of my daughter-in-law, Your Majesty, don't you say? ā
Empress Wu smiled and said to Gaozong, who was in a relatively good mental state.
When Gaozong heard this, he immediately nodded and said: "Yes, haha, Mei Niang, you chose a good daughter-in-law for me, and a good princess for Xian'er. ā
The two talked again, Gaozong and Empress Wu left Li Xianxiao to have a meal, and then the two were about to leave, but they heard Empress Wu say: "Xian's daughter-in-law stays, Xian'er, you go back first." ā
"Yes." Although he was still a little uneasy about Empress Wu's sudden decision, Li Xian had no choice but to leave silently. (To be continued.) )
