Chapter 123: The Day of the Wedding Feast
The magpies outside the window were chattering non-stop, and Qin Huai was already standing in the side hall of the Three Princes' Mansion dressed in red Jifu.
Her red coral hair ornament was also lost to her by Liu Yanxin when she pushed Pai Gow a few days ago, and the jars she had hidden in the palace for a long time were also given to Mu Guanqing, and the worst thing was rice paper, not to mention that she had not won a few handfuls, and she had to take out her belongings.
Fortunately, in the end, Liu Yanxin gave her the tiara used as a wedding gift, which did not let her go back empty-handed, but also solved Qin Huai's problem.
"What time is Mingyue?"
Qin Huai looked out while looking at the process booklet in front of him.
Mingyue fiddled with the hem of her skirt and breathed a sigh of relief, "Princess, you just asked, don't be nervous, it's not you who got married anyway." ”
These words made the anxious Qin Huai block for a moment, and he couldn't help but complain that she couldn't speak.
"What do you mean by this little girl, it's not like I've never been married, and it may not be smaller than it is now."
As soon as these words came out, Caixia interrupted.
"Princess, what are you talking about the wedding of the third prince, hurry up and prepare."
Thinking about it, she and Li Qixian had no husband and wife relationship, and now it is reasonable, this is not an auspicious thing, and it should not be put on the table.
And then there is that she is now a marriage witness, and she should pay more attention to her words and deeds, and it is an exception for a person who has left her job to preside over the wedding ceremony, how can she be open-mouthed.
As if sensing that Qin Huai was affected by his demeanor, Caixia spoke again, interrupting Qin Huai's silence.
"The female officer has already counted all the belongings outside, Miss Liu will come with the welcoming team later, and the princess must behave well."
This section of the road from the Three Princes' Mansion of Xuanfu Road was accompanied by Liu Yanxin, they were sisters, and Liu Yanxin was the queen of the gate, and her appearance was the icing on the cake for this wedding banquet.
Mu Guanqing had already beckoned the guests to take their seats, and Qin Huai was almost ready here, and he also went to the front hall to help.
The fourth division of the Shanggong Bureau lost the crown in this preparation, but fortunately, other important things were well placed, especially the colored glaze that Qin Huai had told him before, which complemented each other with this glass cup, and it made people feel comfortable when they saw it.
She tried to walk around the position where she was about to stand, and first familiarized herself with the position of the entire high platform.
Looking at these guests below, in addition to the mother concubine Ye family of the three emperor brothers and the mother family of Xuan Paper, the rest of them are also the leading officials in the court.
After some of them saw Qin Huai, their faces were a little unnatural, and they still minded the divination of Wuxiangge, but after all, it was recommended by the female official and appointed by His Majesty, and no matter how reluctant they were at this juncture, they still had to sell the face of the third prince.
"Sister Qin Huai."
Someone called her.
This name seems a little old.
Qin Huai turned around, and the wooden hairpin that came was not haired, and the blue clothes were lightly bundled. His appearance seemed to carry a glimmer of light from afar, and that kind of pure and beautiful aura infected everyone present from his temperament. He didn't smile, but there was only Qin Huai alone in his clear eyes.
His name is Qin Yunli, and he is Qin Yue's eldest brother and the eldest son of the first lady of Qing Bohou.
In fact, if you want to talk about the relationship between him and Qin Huai, you have to trace it back to her mother, the county lord Jiang of Ruyang, Jiang used to be good friends with her mother, and they can be regarded as close friends in the boudoir, but they married Qingbohou in accordance with their father's will.
At that time, Qing Bohou had not gone far to Qingzhou, and the county lord of Ruyang often came to the palace to chat with his mother, and Qin Huai liked this lady very much in his heart.
It was also at that time that she met Qin Yunli.
It seems that since he was a child, Qin Yunli did not play with the three imperial brothers, but liked to study the poetry of the previous dynasty, and was very interested in the Four Books and Five Classics.
Maybe he inherited the unique temperament of the county lord of Ruyang, but Qin Huai didn't hate him.
She nodded with a smile: "It turned out to be Brother Yunli, I haven't seen him for a long time." ”
I don't know why, Qin Yunli has been thinking about his cousin Qin Huai who is far away in Xunyang, and he will be happy every time he hears her new news, and after the state banquet, he heard that she was suspected of being a royal family, Qin Yunli's whole heart was anxious, and he couldn't wait to fly to Xunyang.
Now that he saw that Qin Huai was fine, he was relieved.
He knew that Qin Huai, like himself, had lost his mother when he was a child, but he also knew that Uncle Huang loved Qin Huai extremely much.
"Is Sister Qin Huai doing well? I've always heard the news of you in the palace before, and I always want to come to see you, but Xunyang in Qingzhou Road is far away, and my father is not allowed to enter Beijing without an edict. Some time ago, I finally arrived in Xunyang, but I was tripped up by an emergency, so I had time to greet you. ”
In the face of Qin Yunli's enthusiasm, Qin Huai didn't feel any resistance, and even had a heart-warming feeling.
"I'm also very happy to see Brother Yunli, but I have more important tasks today, so it's better to change Brother Yunli to come to the princess's mansion to see me again."
As soon as the words fell, another man stepped forward, and his tone was not good.
"It seems that the princess sister is not as miserable as the rumors say, my brother has been thinking about you so much in Qingzhou for a long time, but I don't know if I have found a successor after being abandoned by the horse."
The man who hangs this son is Qin Yue's brother-in-law Qin Yunzhang, and he is also an annoying existence like Qin Yue.
As the second son, he naturally couldn't study in the palace with the princes, so Qin Huai rarely saw him in the past.
may be because of Qin Yue's relationship, Qin Yunzhang has never seen Qin Huai, and every time he meets, he always has to count them, and over time Qin Huai has become accustomed to it.
Hearing that his second brother was so lawless, he even embarrassed Qin Huai by his words, and turned back angrily.
"Yunzhang is presumptuous, how can you talk to the princess like this, hurry up and make amends to the princess."
But Qin Yunzhang may not be convinced by this eldest brother, not only did he not have the slightest remorse, but he even intensified.
"I said eldest brother, I give you face in front of my father on weekdays, don't really treat yourself as the prince of the world, I ridiculed a woman with a suspicious identity, do you want to interfere."
If it weren't for the wedding banquet of the three emperor brothers, Qin Huai would have made him look good, but now that everyone is watching, she can only keep it in her heart.
"You ......"
Just as he was about to let them retreat, Mu Guanqing didn't know when he appeared in front of them.
"Someone, the second son of King Pingnan deliberately sabotaged the wedding banquet of the third prince and drove him out."
This sound was heard by almost all the guests who were already seated.
Together with the unscrupulous Qin Yunzhang, he was also taken aback.
"Mu ...... Mu Guanqing? ”
Who is Mu Guanqing, naturally no one dares to question her words, and no one dares to speak for poor Qin Yunzhang now.
"If the second prince is not convinced, tomorrow when the third prince and the princess enter the palace to thank him, the palace will inform His Majesty of all the words that the second prince said, and Your Majesty will judge your rights and wrongs."
There was silence all around, Qin Yunzhang snorted lightly, threw his sleeves and left, not forgetting to take back the congratulatory gift he sent.
"Almost, the third prince and the princess have already arrived at the door, go over and greet them."
Seeing Qin Yunzhang being surrounded by government soldiers and leaving, Mu Guanqing did not forget to urge the process.
Qin Huai glanced at Qin Yunli before leaving, but when he turned around, he found that Caixia was stunned in place, like a sculpture.
She arched Caixia lightly with her elbow. "What do you think!"
Caixia reacted smartly, and her eyes unconsciously glanced at the crowd.
"Ahh It's just a little panicked, the slave has never done this. ”
"Don't be afraid, I won't panic if you stand behind me or panic, hurry up and follow me."
Peony mixed with moon petals fell from the sky, the sound of joy was staged one after another, and the entire gate of the Three Princes' Mansion was surrounded by the people who came to congratulate.
Liu Yanxin was the first person to appear at the door, she was already a pearl in the sea, who expected that the rice paper got off the sedan chair, amazed waves of people.
In the end, she is the first beauty of Tianyu, and her beauty is inherently pitied.
Xuan paper put on this wedding dress, reflecting her cheeks with red glow, and then brought the tassel bead crown given by Liu Yanxin, a smile is an online fairy, and it is also the most brilliant pearl in the whole country of Tianyu today.
In the admiration of the guests, the three emperor brothers also smiled, holding the hand of rice paper and stepped forward step by step.
The two of them are facing Qin Huai, and Qin Huai has been affected far more than others, thinking that this is the legendary heaven and earth, the swallow and the warbler.
Qin Huai was about to open his mouth to let the two of them incense heaven and earth, but somehow their joy suddenly stopped, and suddenly a strange wind blew and blew out the red candle on the table.
Before anyone could react, the tiles on the eaves shook, and countless black-clothed people came with long knives.
"There are assassins! Protect the Three Princes! ”
The soldiers found that something was wrong, and stepped forward as soon as possible, and the goal of those men in black seemed to be very clear, and they acted in an orderly manner, and they came up to the high platform neatly.
On the high platform, in addition to Qin Xuanming and Xuan paper, there is only Qin Huai.
Between the lightning and flint, the rice paper had been protected by Qin Xuanming, because today was a wedding banquet, of course it was impossible for him to carry a blade with him.
Mu Guanqing and Liu Yanxin rushed forward almost at the same time, some of the guests close to the high platform collapsed to the ground, and some seized every opportunity to retreat, but because of the large number of people participating in this wedding ceremony, they surrounded the vicinity of the high platform as if they were crowded.
Seeing that the situation was urgent, Qin Xuanming grabbed the candlestick on the altar to recharge, and hit the first man in black who rushed in front of him.
Qin Huai held the greeting post in his hand, and in an instant, it was like losing his soul, and there was only one news in his mind.
You can't go wrong with this wedding!
There were more and more people rushing up, but the position of the high platform was already crowded, Qin Xuanming's two fists were invincible to his four hands, although he had saved himself, he could no longer care about anything else.
In this way, the rice paper gradually retreated, and seeing that it was about to fall, Qin Xuanming's eyes were about to go.
At the same time, a flaw was exposed, and a scratch was made on the back.
Seeing that the situation was unclear, Qin Huai didn't dare to think about it, and rushed up to get a second cut for the crotch of the third emperor brother.
There were still traces of blood on the long knife, like a big python sweeping over.
Just when she thought she was going to die, the long knife was about to hit his neck and went off course, as if the man had done it on purpose.
How so?
