Chapter 21: Going to the Feast

A few feet away from the sedan chair, a handsome man in a red wedding robe sat on horseback.

Although he was born with a good appearance, his facial features were too tough, giving people a sense of coldness.

And today, the face that is always unsmiling rarely shows a look of joy.

I want to marry my beloved girl home and watch the sunset.

Amid the deafening sound of gongs and drums, the crowd of onlookers on the street whispered.

Someone exclaimed: "Tanlang Xie Nu, Miss Xu and the prince are a match made in heaven, they are really a perfect match!" ”

Some people envy: "Changxing Houfu is really lucky, first the adopted daughter married the king as a concubine, and then the eldest lady married the son as a wife, to climb this high branch, it is really enviable!" ”

Someone sighed: "Changxinghou and his wife are kind, and often give porridge outside the house to help the poor. ”

The mighty procession was like a big red ribbon, slowly drifting forward.

The gorgeous carriages of the four streets and eight lanes converge like flowing water at the Chang'an Mansion on Lingyun Street.

Lingyun Street is a prime location, and most of the people living in it are dignitaries, also known as Wutong Street.

Everywhere they live, there are phoenixes.

The Linwang Mansion and the Chang'an Wangfu are located at the end of the street, and the majestic mansions are like two giant beasts facing each other silently.

Because Xu Chaowan felt that the weather was hot and dry, Li Hanchen went to the carriage and rode a horse.

The girl pulled her hair high and wore a faint plum makeup today.

A light blue fairy skirt lined her posture like a spring willow, and the silk shawl between her arms was like a cloud of smoke.

There is a beautiful person, as bright as the stars and the moon, proud as the clear plum and white snow.

Under the stone steps in front of the house, Huaiyi is giving the green horse a hair.

The green horse flicked his tail leisurely, meekly and let him pet it.

The two walked one after the other, and Li Hanchen moved back a little, to the left, and then a little more......

The big hand quietly held the girl's soft hand.

The girl's eyelashes trembled slightly, and although she raised her eyes and glared at him, she did not resist as usual.

Li Hanchen felt a hint of happiness in his heart, and there was a feeling that the cabbage he raised had finally grown up.

Walking in front of the horse, Li Hanchen stepped on the horse first and stretched out his hand towards Xu Chaodu: "Be careful." ”

The sound of horses' hooves was far away, and Huaiyi raised his hands and jumped behind him: "Doesn't the master take his humble duties with him?" ”

What answered him was Vanilla's sneer: "How old is a person, still like a monkey, can you learn to be as calm as Rong Xuan?" ”

Huaiyi clenched his fists, pretended to be annoyed, and said: "As far as you talk the most, I'm going to scratch your face today!" ”

Say three steps and do two steps and run towards the vanilla.

Vanilla shrank her neck, said "can't be provoked" twice and ran away.

People come and go in front of the palace of Chang'an.

Everywhere you see, you can see the brocade clothes, and the sound you hear is very lively.

The sound of the horse's hooves slowly stopped, and a discerning servant ran forward to lead the horse.

The two got off their horses and walked to the front of the mansion, and happened to meet General Xiahou and Xiahou Ji who came together.

"General Xiahou, I haven't seen you for half a month, can you be okay?"

Li Hanchen took the initiative to come forward to greet him, arching his hand to the old general, with respect in his tone.

The old general Xiahou is an elder who is extremely worthy of his respect.

When he was a teenager, he was accustomed to a life of fine clothes and food in the capital, and he was delicate and expensive, and he couldn't adapt to it when he first arrived in the barracks, so he often got sick.

Although the environment of the barracks is extremely difficult, it has also created a good man who stands up to the sky.

They used their majestic bodies and the Jin Ge in their hands to forge an indestructible city wall, guarding every grass and tree, every flower and tree in their homeland.

Standing on a high platform looking down on the well-trained iron-blooded army, the high shouts echoed in the air, making the young man awe-inspired.

In this age of peace, there can be no peace in a country without the most elite army to resist foreign enemies.

The boy thought that this was the most invincible weapon of Da Cao, and the supreme glory.

After that, the old general taught him martial arts and taught him his personal experience of leading troops into battle.

In his spare time, he would drink and talk with him, and he would also be distracted to protect him when he went to battle for the first time, blocking an unexpected arrow for him.

Under the care of the old general, Li Hanchen's barracks life gradually got on the right track.

It is not an exaggeration to say that General Xiahou is half of his father.

"I have to worry about the prince, the old man is very healthy, hahaha-"

General Xiahou has a heroic temperament, and his laughter is also very hearty.

"Brother Chen!"

Xiahou Ji, who was hiding behind General Xiahou, poked out her head and ran to Li Hanchen's side like a little white rabbit to hold his arm.

The people of Dacao are open, and women are also confident and free, daring to chase what they love.

Therefore, every year, there are a few incidents of women robbing their favorite people on the street.

And Xiahou Ji is so unrestrained, more influenced by her father's education.

General Xiahou lost his wife at an early age, leaving only one son and two daughters.

The eldest daughter became the queen of the world, and the second son followed him to guard the frontier at the age of twelve.

Without a mother, he could only leave his little girl in the care of the eldest sister in the palace.

Because of the short time he spent with the little girl, General Xiahou doted on Xiahou very much, and as long as she wanted something, he would do his best to give it to her.

He has been fighting on the battlefield all year round, is accustomed to seeing life and death, and understands the preciousness of life.

Therefore, he often teaches his children: "Life is in the world, life and death are impermanent." If you have a person or thing you love very much, you should boldly chase after it, ignore the words of the world, and only say that your heart is happy. ”

But Li Hanchen didn't like Xiahou Xi's overly enthusiastic attitude.

She is still a girl who has not yet come out of the cabinet, so if she is not reserved, how can she marry in the future?

Li Hanchen wanted to withdraw his hand, but was held tightly by Xiahou Xi.

Helpless, I had to lower my voice and said, "Let go, so many people are watching." ”

Xiahou pouted mischievously: "No!" ”

Li Hanchen looked back at Xu Chaodui worriedly, only to see that the girl was also staring at him, and there was still no expression on her face.

I immediately sighed in my heart: It would be nice if I went back and was beaten.

"The two adults are coincidental, please go with our family to meet Your Majesty."

A shrill voice came from the doorway.

The person who spoke was Father-in-law Nobu, the big red man beside Emperor Akihito.

Father-in-law Xin has been in the palace for many years, his mind is transparent, he knows how to advance and retreat, and he is very trusted.

"Is the royal brother already here?"

"Your Majesty is one step ahead of the two adults, and you have been thinking about the two adults, please come with our family." Father-in-law Xin was very polite.

Li Hanchen bowed slightly, forcibly brushed Xiahou Xi's hand and walked to Xu Chaodui's side, and said softly: "I have to go to see the imperial brother first, Du'er will go shopping first, and I will come to you soon." ”

Xu Chaodui said succinctly: "Go ahead." ”

Li Hanchen smiled, took the opportunity to bow his head and put a kiss on her smooth forehead, and admonished: "Take care of yourself, wait for me to pick you up." ”

Xu Chaodui was slightly stunned, and then a large red cloud floated on his cheeks, and he scolded lightly: "Lang Lang Qiankun, the court, do you know shame?" ”

Li Hanchen smiled: "So that others can know that our husband and wife are harmonious." ”

Xu Chaowan stretched out his hand and pushed him: "Hurry up, you are in my way." ”

Looking at Li Hanchen's back, Xu Chaodui unconsciously reached out and stroked his hot cheeks.

I don't know when it started, as soon as he got close, his heart would beat faster and he couldn't breathe.

Did you like him?

The thought in his heart flashed, and Xu Chaodui trembled with fright.

By no means, how fortunate the men in the world are, she must not repeat the mistakes of her mother.

There is often sincere love in the world, but there is rarely eternal love.

She didn't have the faith to keep someone by her side forever and ever.

It is better not to start than to be greedy for the pleasure of the moment and taste the bitter fruits of the future.
