Chapter 268: Guest of Calamity
The night breeze is faint and cold.
"I was engaged, and I once stood in the wedding hall in a wedding dress, ready to marry a man I didn't know at all, according to my parents' orders. I don't know whether to thank Lan Zhirong or not, if she hadn't rushed into the wedding hall and died with me, probably I would still be living in my familiar hometown, and I would have to live with my emotionless husband for the rest of my life. But anyway, it's true that I was once engaged to someone else, if you mindβ"
"Of course I do." Lightly interrupting Yan Liwu's words, Wen Moqing's two fingers picked up the red rope on Yan Liwu's neck, and the broken silver ball reflected the bright moonlight, "He dares to appear here to try, I will definitely stuff this thing into his throat." β
Yan Li was stunned, almost whispering: "Then I ......"
"You say so much just to tell me, in fact, you are not the Qinglian King but a lonely ghost?" Wen Moqing raised his eyebrows lightly.
Lonely ghosts should be more shocked than they were once engaged, shouldn't they? Yan Liwu avoided Wen Moqing's nonchalant gaze: "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, this kind of thing is ridiculous, I find it unbelievable, and I can't be sure if one day I will disappear from this world like I came." β
People are always afraid of what they don't understand, and they live in a body that doesn't belong to them, and it's unknown where they will go. Yan Liwu hadn't thought about whether she would disappear one day, and it wasn't until she began to think seriously about how she would spend her life with Wen Moqing in the future that this idea suddenly popped up - the more she wanted it to last forever, the more she was afraid that one day her dream would be shattered.
Calm eyes lingered on the white face, as Yan Liwu expected, Wen Moqing did not flee or retreat, but wrapped her in a more gentle look than usual.
"I think I'm probably crazy."
The big red wedding dress was neatly placed on the makeup and did not provoke anyone, but it still couldn't escape the fate of being bullied, and helplessly fell on the chair with the makeup and swayed; The shadows of the trees under the pure moonlight were mottled, reflected on the floor of the bedroom where the candlelight was about to go out, swaying, bleak and cold, rustling softly, as if envy and jealousy of the fiery temperature somewhere, but the intertwined breath was silent and quiet, and did not alarm anyone in the slightest.
Whether it is the arm around the waist, the palm that clasps the back of the head, or the sudden kiss, the entanglement that cannot be escaped, all of them are unexpected from worry.
She always thought that Wen Moqing would not be such an impulsive and enthusiastic person.
The blankness in her mind made her feel helpless, her lips hurt slightly, and the hot temperature burned her face and ears, trying to push away the weight in front of her, but she was forced to put her hands against the wall.
Yan Liwu was a little panicked, his thoughts wandered wildly, and he suddenly thought that he was leaning in front of the makeup and was easy to be seen through the window, and suddenly thought that if someone suddenly came in at this time, he would not be ashamed to death, and sometimes he thought, this night, Wen Moqing wants to cross the thunder pool in advance? He said that he would never act rashly before getting married, in order to protect her, in order not to hurt her.
A gust of night wind blew, and the bitter trees that took away the branches were unwilling to sound, and the hot kisses like a storm gradually subsided, leaving behind the words and worries of the stunned chickens, and the warmth and ink in front of the eyebrows and eyes that were still unfinished.
"If you are a lonely soul and a wild ghost, then this is the Yama Palace, the Reincarnation Platform," holding Yan Li's white fingertips against his left chest, Wen Moqing's voice was low and steady, "For the rest of my life, you will be imprisoned in my heart." β

The sound of firecrackers, the sound of congratulations, the laughter of children...... Early this morning, Dingyuan County was enveloped in bustle, and the people in the market showed a long-lost smile, carrying all kinds of cheap but heartfelt congratulatory gifts in their hands and walking in the same direction.
Dingyuan Wangfu has not been so lively for many years, the big red happy words on the door are particularly bright, the courtyard is overcrowded, and more than ten tables of banquets have to be opened on the street outside the courtyard.
King Dingyuan has sought well-being for the people of Dingyuan County for many years, eliminating disasters and solving problems, and it can be said that he is a great benefactor of the people of Dingyuan County, and it is natural that he is deeply loved, but King Dingyuan does not seem to know it, and he was startled when he saw the people full of congratulations from inside and outside his home.
"According to the prince's orders, the marriage of the two sons was not too publicized, and those people heard from a few close families who came spontaneously." Gu Bo said with a smile.
"In the years of war, it is not easy for anyone to get a little thing, so let the villagers bring back the congratulatory gifts, and the heart will be there." King Dingyuan greeted him in circles from front to back, left and right, and was so busy that he finally had to take a breath, "What about Moqing?" Do you want to keep this old bone busy? Let him not hide in the corner and be free, and hurry out to greet the guests! β
Gu Bo waved his hand mysteriously: "Lord, the prince talked with the second young grandmother last night until the second half of the night before going back to the room to rest, he is asleep at this time, don't call him, on the day of the big day, the groom can't come out without waking up!" Although the prince can rest assured, isn't there still us subordinates? We will do this thing to greet guests, Lord Wang, you rest first, rest. β
King Dingyuan was stunned for a long time, and then shook his head with a wry smile: "This stinky boy, is it a moment and a half away when he sees that he is about to get married?" Let outsiders know what it's like he's going into the bride's room in the middle of the night! That's it, let him sleep well, but be sure to wake him up before noon, and read what he needs to prepare again, and make sure nothing goes wrong. Really, there is no trouble everywhere without Bi Xiao's arrangement, and Mo Hong should have married her earlier. β
King Dingyuan was so busy that he didn't pay attention to who could hear him when he spoke, and the neglected Ye Ling Xi couldn't help but smile and walked to the corner, and then burst out laughing: "It seems that the prince has a lot of trust in Bi Xiao, and it's hard to say anything about leaving worries!" But it's no wonder that others, just getting married, are so nervous that their hands and feet are cold early in the morning, and the world came to comfort them the night before, and it's too useless to worry! β
Wen Moshu and others sat at a table in the most inconspicuous corner of the corner, hearing Ye Ling Xi's ridicule, Chu Ci narrowed his eyes slightly, and his strange gaze swept over Jun Wunian: "Night girl, don't patronize and laugh at others, I don't know what will happen to the night girl when she gets married, maybe she is more nervous than Miss Yan." β
"It's just getting married, and it's not feeding the tiger, what's there to be nervous about? Anyway, I don't, I just don't know if anyone will marry me. After deliberately sighing with emotion, another trace of gaze swept over Jun Wunian's body, intentionally or unintentionally.
Jun Wunian was a little crying and laughing.
In fact, he didn't hate Ye Lingxi, but as he said, what he had no feelings about now was just such an ethereal promise; Despite this, Ye Lingxi still showed his good feelings from time to time, straightforward and frank, without concealing it at all, which made him more restrained as a big man, and always attracted Chu Ci to ridicule and joke.
A person like Chu Ci, who is as rational as Chu Ci to the extreme, will there be a day when he falls into the love network and is trapped by love?
Jun Wunian cast his curious eyes on the smiling jade-faced boy, who knew that Chu Ci didn't pay attention to his silent speculation at all, and turned his head to harass the silent Wen Moshu: "Your Highness hasn't talked to Miss Yan alone since she came down, have you?" β
Wen Mo was stunned for a moment, and then smiled reluctantly: "Well, she is busy preparing for marriage and has no time to spare, and besides, I don't have anything important to say to her, it would be too boring to disturb rashly." β
"Really? That's a shame. β
Chu Ci's words were unknown, but Jun Wunian understood what the word "pity" meant, took a long breath, and seemed to say casually: "Moqing has been very lucky since he was a child, and the master always says that he is a lucky general, and he will definitely make Miss Yan happy." β
In this complex emotional entanglement, some people are happy and some people are secretly sad. Wen Moshu was somewhat aware of the difference in attitudes between Chu Ci and Jun Wunian, and suddenly sighed with a low smile: "Miss Yan's life is more important than anything else, and I can finally rest assured that she and the son of the world will eventually become married." β
As for whether there is hidden pain in my heart, that silent expression is enough to explain.
Wen Moshu and the others came to congratulate him and did not disclose their identities, and there was a chat in the quiet place in the corner, just waiting for the auspicious time to come to the newlyweds' church. Seeing that there was only a quarter of an hour left, Chu Ci suddenly put down the dates in his hand, closed his eyes as if listening carefully to something, and after a while, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed.
"It seems that we are not the only ones who came to join in the fun, and someone gave a great gift."
Jun Wunian and Wen Moshu looked at each other, and they got up together and looked at the door of the courtyard, but in the blink of an eye, the people who gathered at the door to chat changed their faces and hid to the side in a panic.
The carriages and horses in the palace have their own rules, in order to reduce the wear and tear of the wheels and increase the aesthetics, the wooden wheels are all wrapped in iron sheets, and the crisp sound of the iron wheels when running is obviously different from the ordinary wooden wheeled cars, so the ordinary people call the carriages from the palace "Xiangguan'er", which means that when this sound sounds, there must be a big official from Kyoto.
Now is the period of martial law in the imperial capital, who came from the palace, and with what purpose did they come to Dingyuan Palace?
The people whispered to each other, and King Dingyuan, who walked out in a hurry, had a serious face and a slight doubt, and waved his hand to Wen Moshu and the others without a trace when he walked through the courtyard, and greeted the door under the worried gaze of the visitors.
"Father-in-law Zhao?" Seeing the people coming by car lifting the curtain and coming out, King Dingyuan gasped, and his heart was faintly uneasy, and then he looked at the other two Xiangguan'er after Zhao Gonggong, and the uneasiness expanded more and more.
"Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince! The wedding of the prince is a great event! Zhao Gonggong's smile opened and he congratulated him one after another, and the thief's eyes peeked into the courtyard from time to time. Seeing the hesitant expressions of the people next to him, Zhao Gonggong coughed: "The slave came to congratulate the prince and the prince on the holy order, and there are also a hundred taels of gold, a thousand taels of silver, a pair of gold and jade Ruyi, an agate to send a son Guanyin, a pair of blue fox shawls in the South China Sea, and a pair of jade bibi for a hundred years. β
King Dingyuan retracted his gaze and said with a perfunctory smile: "I didn't want to alarm the emperor about the dog's marriage, but I didn't expect the emperor to have a heart, and even this little thing had to be ordered to go to Gonggong Zhao in person, which is really an honor for the king." The congratulatory gift was received by the next person, and Gonggong Zhao quickly went in with the king to drink a glass of wine, and then he had to go back to the emperor to pay the business, right? β
"No hurry, no hurry." Zhao Gonggong waved his hand, shook off the dust, and bowed to the other two Xiangguan'er with a smile, "The slave is just the vanguard to say hello to the prince, and the emperor has other will about the marriage of the prince, so please explain the specific situation." β
As Zhao Gonggong's voice landed, the thick wooden door of one of the Xiangguan'er was pushed open from the inside, and a corner of clothes and a boot broke into everyone's sight, white and snowy.
