Chapter 25: Jealousy is hard to dispel
On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the Dragon Boat Festival of the lunar calendar, the day when King Zhao and Xiao were both married.
The sky was bright, and the servants sent by the Zhao Mansion came to the Xiao Mansion to serve the future Princess Zhao. Xiao Shuangshuang stayed awake all night, her face was very haggard, and the maidservant girl carefully dressed her for a long time.
Dressed in a red wedding dress and beautiful makeup, Xiao Shuangshuang did not have a trace of joy, and his hands were cold.
Xiao Siwen and Mrs. Xiao sat on the high hall, and Xiao Sui stood aside. According to Khitan customs, the bride should bow to her family before getting married.
Xiao Shuangshuang bowed to Xiao Siwen and Mrs. Xiao with the support of the maidservant. Although he didn't want to do this family affair in every way, looking at his daughter who was about to marry someone else's wife in a wedding dress at this moment, Xiao Siwen smiled bitterly, not knowing whether he was happy or sad. Mrs. Xiao leaned down, hugged the flute and hid her face and cried.
Jerod stood obliquely to the side, his hands folded around his chest, as if smiling.
Xiao Shuangshuang got up, his eyes swept over Xiao Xuan, and he saw Xiao Xuan smiling on his lips, a little sad between his eyebrows, and looked directly at himself.
Xiao Shuangshuang stared at him and smiled indifferently, "Yanyan, I will be Princess Zhao in the future, so I can be a few points better than you, are you right?" "The smile is like a flower, but it is so poignant and blooms for a moment. turned around and left with the people of Zhao Wangfu.
It turned out that my sister still hated herself. Xiao Xuan smiled hard, smiled and smiled, tears flowing down the corners of his eyes.
Jerud sighed deeply. He always felt sorry for this stupid sister, Xiao Sui only blindly thought that it was his own, and never blamed Xiao Shuangshuang for his domineering and jealousy.
A moment after Xiao Shuangshuang left, Xiao Siwen took his wife and Xiao Sui to the Zhao Palace's mansion to attend the banquet.
Yelu only said that he was not qualified to go to a noble place like Zhao Wangfu, but in fact, he didn't want to see those rights and wrongs, so he stayed in Xiao Mansion and served the peony planted by Xiao Xuan, but he was also happy.
Xiao Xuan rode his beloved mount, Xiaoxiao, and left Ah Yu in the carriage to serve his father and mother.
Xiao Sui only rode a horse and followed the carriage slowly, her face was full of sorrow, her mind was all on Xiao Shuangshuang, at this time she looked around, she didn't even know what she was looking at, and was soon left behind by the carriage of Xiao Mansion.
Xiao Sui thought to herself, just don't chase it, my sister may not want to see her. So she turned around, went to the market, and whipped away.
The people of the Zhao Wangfu came and went, and most of them were bureaucrats and dignitaries, as well as the brothers of the same clan of the King of Zhao, that is, other princes who might compete with the King of Zhao for the throne.
The officials were afraid that they would not be able to tie up with Prince Zhao, so they hurriedly came to the palace to give gifts, and for a while, the threshold was about to be broken.
This big wedding changed the fate of many people in Shangjing.
The banquet hall was full of people with heads and faces, among which the emperor's relatives sat at a table, including Yeluxian.
Xiao Siwen and his wife sat at a table with some powerful ministers, generals and their families, and the children of officials at the same table.
Han Derang and his father Han Kuangsi were also invited to the scene, Han Kuangsi looked for Xiao Siwen, and sat down after saying that he was happy, Han Derang looked around and found no trace of Xiao Xuan, and he was always a little disappointed when he didn't see her, so he poured himself a drink.
Zhao Wang Xiyin's gentle smile has been on his lips, and after saying the scene, his eyes swept away everyone, and he said, "This king's parents are not there, the eldest brother is like a father, this king wants to invite my imperial brother Ye Luxian to officiate for this king's marriage." With that, he walked to the banquet where the royal family was sitting and bowed slightly to Yeluxian.
All eyes were on Yeluxian, and none of the guests in the hall dared to raise their voices, both of them were princes, and their future glory depended on them.
Dressed in a navy blue robe, Yeluxian has a thin face, but he does not lose his heroic spirit, everyone knows that after the rebellion of Huoshendian, the eldest son Yeluxian fell ill, and always looked sick. He sat upright for a moment, then smiled knowingly at Ki-in, got up and patted Ki-in's shoulder, and walked to the center of the hall. officiate the marriage of the two of them.
Xiao Siwen's deep gaze fell on Xiao Shuangshuang's red hijab, but he couldn't see Xiao Shuangshuang's expression or her heart. This is the daughter he loves at the tip of his heart!
After the big salute, Ye Luxian coughed repeatedly, his face turned red, he hurriedly walked to the side, Qiliang hurriedly took out the pill and asked him to swallow it with water.
Ye Luxian's face gradually recovered, and he returned to the table.
Xiyin announced the opening of the table, and then went back to the bedroom with Xiao to change clothes.
Everyone didn't dare to say much, no matter how bad the people of the royal family were, it was good.
The officials have their own considerations in mind. Yeluxian is seriously ill, and his life may be short, how can he compete with Xiyin for the throne? And Xiao Siwen is willing to marry his daughter to Xiyin, doesn't this just represent Xiao Siwen's position?
Some Han officials recalled that when they were feasting at the Fuyuan Restaurant that day, Xiao Siwen had hinted that they could inherit the unification, but at this time, they were married to Zhao Wangye, and scolded Xiao Siwen in their hearts for being a villain with a ghost behind a person in front of him, so he glanced at Xiao Siwen with disdain and snorted coldly.
The ministers' eyes sparkled, and they all raised their glasses to congratulate Xiao Siwen, eager to show their position and flattered him.
