Chapter Forty-Eight: The Deserted Wedding
The big red silk Luo gold embroidered robe sleeve top, the lower cover is a light red smoke yarn scattered flower skirt, the waist is tied into a big bow with gold silk soft smoke, a piece of emerald green peony texture jade pendant looms in the middle, the sideburns hang low and obliquely inserted jasper and phoenix hairpin, the slender body is glamorous and charming, the eyebrows are like green feathers, the muscles are like mutton fat, and at a glance it looks like a different kind of eyebrows, delicate and far-reaching, green temples, and the taste of spring smoke.
Situ Youning never thought that she would wear this wedding dress given to her by her mother when she was fifteen years old, and after putting on the last golden earrings for Situ Youning, Lumei looked at Situ Youning in the mirror with a surprised face, this is the first time she has seen such a quiet and beautiful Situ Youning, and her naughty and active personality completely hides Situ Youning's beauty as a woman.
The beauty in the mirror was lowering her eyes at this time, her slender jade fingers gently brushed the dagger on the table, and she looked slightly sideways at the sword hanging on the wall and a large stack of bamboo slips on the desk.
"Ning'er, are you ready?" Situ Tanhua pushed the door and walked in, and the moment Situ Youning turned his head to look at her, he showed a look of surprise, and soon a relieved smile appeared on his face, "Ning'er is really a rare beauty, and she really deserves to be my sister." ”
Situ Youning stood up from the stool, raised his eyes to look at Situ Tan's painting, and then lowered his head, his lips trembling slightly.
"Ning'er?" Situ Tanhua stepped forward and gently supported her shoulders, and asked with a serious expression, "Fifth brother will ask you one last time, is this Ning'er's own choice?" ”
Listening to Situ Tanhua's words, Situ Youning's eyes widened, in her memory, a long time ago, Situ Tanhua also asked herself, she hid the loneliness in her eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, raised her head to look at Situ Tanhua, and slapped him the chest, as a result, Situ Tanhua's whole person fell backwards.
"Ouch," Situ Tanhua stood up with his waist covered, "This is your greeting to your fifth brother before you get married." ”
"Hehe... Fifth brother, your body is about the same as a woman's, you should practice with the eldest brother and the fourth brother, otherwise you will waste such a tall body. ”
"Thank you for the reminder, but it's good that your brother and I have been immersed in the pile of women all my life, and I'm not interested in fighting, killing, fighting for power."
"Young Master, the sedan chair of the Ji Wangfu has arrived." Feng Wen's voice sounded outside the door.
"Sister Fengwen, where have you been these days?" Situ Youning rushed towards the door with a brisk step, but tripped over the skirt that mopped the floor, and her whole body lost her balance.
"Youning, I just heard this news this morning..." Feng Wen lowered her head sadly and shrunk her hand into her sleeve.
"Sister Fengwen!" Situ Youning gently pulled Feng Wen's bandaged hands, his eyes were full of anger, "What's going on?" ”
Feng Wen hurriedly withdrew her hands, and said with a flickering look in her eyes, "I accidentally burned while cooking." ”
Just as Situ Youning wanted to ask further, Situ Tanhua took her hand and stopped her.
The entire Situ Mansion was shrouded in a rainy and gloomy atmosphere, although Situ Tanhua asked his subordinates to dress up Situ Mansion all night last night, but there was still no trace of the festive atmosphere on the day of marriage, and the welcoming team waiting at the door of Situ Mansion was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water.
Feng Yumo didn't come in person, waiting at the gate of Situ Mansion, there was only a four-person sedan chair and a maid standing on the side of Jiao, and the five people were waiting for their future concubine in the rain without expression, but their hearts were full of ridicule and complaints.
Situ Muling did not show up to see Situ Youning, the people in Chang'an City seemed to have forgotten that today was the day when King Ji got married, looking at the deserted marriage team on the street, no one thought that it was Situ Youning who was sitting inside.
Situ Youning walked towards the sedan chair with heavy steps, and when she got on the sedan chair, she glanced back at the smiling Situ Tanhua, took a deep breath, and sat in the sedan chair.
"That's how King Ji treats his new concubine?" Liu Sheng sat on the second floor of the restaurant, drinking and looking at the lonely sedan chair on the street.
"Lord Wang, I heard that the person in the sedan chair is Situ Hao's only daughter." The guard standing on the side bent down and whispered.
"Hehe... I don't know what trick King Ji is playing this time. ”
"Today's wedding banquet..."
"Do you think King Ji means that he wants us to go?"
The guard glanced at the sedan chair in the distance, and cast a sympathetic look at the person in the sedan chair, "What the prince said is very true. ”
When Situ Youning was thinking about how he should deal with Feng Yumo in the future, the sedan chair stopped unconsciously.
"Miss Situ, it's here."
The voice of the maid sounded from outside the sedan chair, but no one opened the sedan curtain for a long time, and finally Situ Youning reluctantly opened the curtain and walked out of the sedan chair, but there was silence all around, after standing in place for a few seconds, Situ Youning lifted his hijab full of doubts, and just saw the maid standing next to him yawn.
Seeing Situ Youning lift the hijab, the maid was surprised, and hurriedly said, "Please also ask the young lady to move to the house." ”
Situ Youning looked at the gate with the maid's gesture, although he expected Feng Yumo's attitude, but he didn't expect him to be so ruthless, no wonder these subordinates would treat themselves like this, in the royal family, the concubine who is not favored is sometimes really inferior to a little maid.
There was no trace of anyone else at the gate except for the guards guarding the door, looking into the gate, the inside was the same as the outside, there was no trace of decoration for the wedding, the rain began to fall heavier and heavier, and the raindrops of beans lightly tapped on Situ Youning's fingers, she couldn't help but shudder, and a sense of despair for the future hit her whole body.
"Miss, let's go in quickly!" Seeing that the rain was getting heavier, the maid pulled her towards the house without Situ Youning's consent.
The pale red long skirt was held on the ground, soaked by the rain and stained with black stains, Situ Youning tripped over the skirt several times halfway, but he could only get up and run forward with the maid, because the hijab blocked the view, the knee was knocked by an unknown object again and again, the heavy rain seemed to be laughing at Situ Youning at this time, and fell ruthlessly, in the rain, the wedding dress that his mother gave him, as if it was soaked in water, clinging to Situ Youning's skin.
Not far away, Feng Yumo was sitting in the pavilion sipping tea, looking at the embarrassed figure in the rain with a smile on his face.
