Chapter 049: Marrying

Nanxiu Dynasty, on the first day of the winter month of the third year of Chenguang, Emperor Pei Gongcuo personally welcomed Dongli and Princess Hua Burma at the gate of the imperial capital, and the grand occasion was unprecedented.

After a long half-month trek, the long wedding procession finally arrived at Yundu, the capital of Nanxiu.

The climate of Nanxiu is pleasant all year round, and Hua Mian has already taken off her heavy winter clothes and changed into a red wedding dress. At this moment, under Wan Tao's waiting, she crossed her hairpin, thinly applied powder, lightly swept her eyebrows, covered her mandarin duck brocade red hijab, and waited for the arrival of the welcoming team after entering the city.

As soon as they entered the Cloud Capital City, the people and horses who gave the wedding were stunned by the scene in front of them. This grand wedding battle is even better than the emperor's wedding, but I am afraid that it is rare to see it in a hundred years.

The magpies in the city of Yundu climb the branches, the sky is full of sunshine, dozens of miles of red makeup, the cars and horses are lined up from the city head to the downtown in an orderly manner, and countless red roses are sprinkled on the side of the road.

The breeze swept through the fragrance of flowers, swayed the countless red ribbons tied to the trees in the aisle, caressed the soldiers and the surging crowd on the side of the road, and carried the sound of firecrackers, silk bamboo, and noisy human voices, passing these messages to the bride in the carriage.

Hua Mian lifted the hijab and gently lifted the corner of the curtain, only to see an endless stream of onlookers, shoulder to shoulder, everyone stretched out their heads to watch this grand wedding.

She couldn't help but be shocked, this was like welcoming an ordinary princess, but more like the emperor's wedding. She wasn't narcissistic enough to think he'd give up the back seat. However, although he was a little annoyed that he pushed himself to the cusp, he felt some inexplicable joy when he thought that he fulfilled his promise that day and gave him such a beautiful wedding.

The guard of honor in front of them had been waiting at the gate of the city, and at this time, the princess's wedding procession entered the city gate, and they were divided into two teams to lean on both sides. A tall white horse slowly stepped out of the middle of the road, and immediately sat a handsome man.

I saw a man wearing a golden crown with a bunch of hair and a bright red head. The dragon robe, the neckline and cuffs are decorated with dark wide-edged embroidered moire, the black gold-inlaid belt, the red flower on the black background covers the knees, and the waist is tied with a red jade ring palace silk, in the glow of the morning sun, the whole body is shrouded in a layer of golden light, as if the god of treasure and solemnity has descended, and Hua Mian is stunned for a while.

"Girl, put on your hijab."

Under Wan Tao's reminder, Hua Mian suddenly came back to his senses. She was about to close the hijab when the curtain was suddenly lifted.

The four eyes met, and both of them were stunned. Hua Mian was surprised by Pei Gongcuo's sudden intrusion, and Pei Gongcuo was surprised by Hua Mian's scorching color.

Pei Gongcuo slowly hooked the corners of his lips and said, "Lady, do you miss me?" ”

Hua Mian didn't hear it, and put on a hijab to cut off his vision. Pei Gongcuo stepped forward and tore off the hijab and carried her out of the carriage.

Hua Mian exclaimed, "What are you going to do?" ”

"The lady is so beautiful today, isn't it a tyrannical thing to cover up? Behold, all the people of the city have come out to meet you, and let them all see what my woman is like. After the words fell, Pei Gongcuo had already put Hua Mian on the white horse in front of the car, and he also stepped on the horse's back and surrounded her behind him.

was hugged intimately in front of everyone's eyes, and Hua Mian's cheeks suddenly turned red. Despite this, she did not ignore his self-proclaimed talent, and the word "I" reminded her that the man she was going to marry now was not an ordinary person, but the emperor of this country who was admired and supported by all the people, and the husband who was loved by all the concubines in Nanxiu's harem.

She turned her eyes to look at Ji Yunye on the side, only to see that there was a certain obscure meaning in his eyes, and when he looked at her, there was a faint pain. She couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so she turned her face away. And her shy and timid delicate appearance made the onlookers look straight, and for a while, sighs and tsks came and went.

With the singing of Foxit's "driving back to the palace", the honor guard slowly returned. In addition to the cheers of the people and the admiration and blessings of the two beautiful people behind him, there were two burning eyes that almost shot the two people on the horse out of a hole. Ji Yunye has imagined countless scenes, but he didn't expect Pei Gongcuo to be so unscrupulous and openly show affection with Hua Mian. I'm afraid that his rival is also in his calculations.

Pei Gongcuo carried Hua Mian all the way to the Shuihua Palace next to the Yangxin Hall where he lived. Seeing the name of the palace, Hua Mian looked back at Pei Gongcuo suspiciously.

Pei Gongcuo said with a smile: "Its original name was Changfu Palace, which has been empty, and in order to welcome your arrival, I ordered people to rename it according to the name of the palace you left in Dongli." How's that, like? ”

Hua Mian couldn't bear to look at the anticipation in his eyes, and turned his head away without a trace. In fact, she was still a little moved in her heart, but she didn't know how to express her position. The man behind him didn't seem to mind, he jumped off his horse, grabbed her by the waist, and led her into the newly furnished dormitory.

The spacious and bright new house is covered with red dates, peanuts, longan, and lotus seeds, which means "early birth of a noble son".

Seeing them being paved in a circle into a heart shape, Hua Mian had to sigh at Pei Gongcuo's intentions, and at the same time, he felt a little guilty in his heart.

Not long after, Fu Xin came to call them, saying that the luncheon had been prepared, and the Queen Mother and the ministers were waiting for them to take the table. Pei Gongcuo then led her to the Taihe Palace, and after a banquet with the Queen Mother and the Manchu Dynasty, he returned to the wedding room and drank wine with her.

After taking the wine bottle in Hua Mian's hand and putting it back on the desk, Pei Gongcuo said with a serious expression: "Tie the hair and share the pillow seat, Huangquan is a friend." From now on, you and I will eat together and drink together, and you will be my wife. ”

Hua Mian's heart couldn't help but tremble, she had been looking forward to such affectionate words for a long time, but she didn't think that it was not the person she loved deeply, but an emperor with a group of wives and concubines. A married wife? There is only one wife, but there can be many concubines, so what he said on the horse was not a whim. It's just that I'm afraid I'm going to let him down.

Without waiting for Hua Mian to think about it, Pei Gongcuo said considerately: "You have a long journey, so let's rest first, I still have something to do, come over at night." ”

After he left, Hua Mian walked to the makeup, took off the cumbersome headdress, took off the complicated wedding dress, and let someone bring the bath soup.

Xu was really tired, and after taking a bath, she fell asleep as soon as she dipped in the pillow. This night, she slept very deeply, kept dreaming, the dream was full of Ji Yunye's figure, and all kinds of past marquees flashed back in front of her eyes, as if she had experienced a process from childhood to adulthood, and the end of the dream was that she finally became his bride.

When the candles were in the cave, he went to greet the guests, and she stripped off her clothes and lay on the bed looking forward to being with him. He didn't let her wait long, when he came back, he bathed and changed his clothes and went to bed, hugged her from behind, and gently stroked her with his big palm, and with the sound of heavier breathing, the strength of his hand also increased.

Sensing the changes in the body of the person behind him, Hua Mian twisted his body a little shyly, trying to get rid of his resistance, but in exchange for a suppressed muffled snort. Then she was flipped over by a force, and there were soft and warm things lingering along her earlobes and neck to her lips, tossing and pecking lightly, inhaling and sipping, causing her heart to ripple and her cheeks to dye spring.

Pei Gongcuo looked at the woman in front of him who was asleep but was teased by himself, and the corners of his lips were hooked with satisfaction, and he sighed softly: "I have finally waited for you." Then he kissed her cherry lips again, as if he had finally obtained the long-awaited treasure, with a touch of caution and a strong sense of misty lust, trying to absorb her fragrant sweetness. When her little tongue danced with him, he was flattered by her response, and his heart was beating.

In the fragrance of love, he bit her lip with a slight force.

The slight pain awoke her, and her eyes met his. Looking at the eyes of love in front of her, she was stunned for a moment, and when she woke up, she realized that Fang Cai was not a dream, and it was not the wild brother in the dream who was on a blind date with her lingering skin, but the Nanxiu Emperor in front of her who had three thousand beauties in the harem.

Pei Gongcuo smiled lightly and whispered in her ear: "Little lazy cat, you are finally awake." If you don't wake up, I'll make the overlord hard. ”

She looked at him steadfastly until the smile disappeared from his handsome face, and was replaced by confusion and bewilderment. She sighed and gently pushed him away, half-undressed, exposing her left arm.

Since sooner or later it will be known, it is better to have a showdown earlier. It would be great if the two of us could be safe from now on.

When his gaze fell on her smooth left arm, Hua Mian could clearly see the light in his eyes like the falling stars, and in an instant all he was left with a full of defeat, anger, and despair.

Pei Gongcuo only felt that his qi and blood were surging, he sat up and grabbed her arm, and said in a trembling voice: "Is it Ji Yunye?" ”

Hua Mian looked at him calmly and said nothing.

Pei Gongcuo smiled coldly and laughed at himself: "There really won't be nothing in this world. I knew there would be today, and I shouldn't have let you stay with him in the first place. But since you know that sooner or later you will be my person, why do you have to ...... with him?"

"Because, I love him."

The understatement instantly ignited Pei Gongcuo's suppressed anger, and he almost roared: "Do you still know what courtesy, righteousness and shame are?"

Hua Mian was originally guilty of him and was ready to accept his baptism of anger, but when she heard this, she was also angry, and she sneered: "The woman is lost for love. The body is ignorant of etiquette, righteousness and shame, men have three wives and four concubines, and it is natural for them to like the new and hate the old. ”

Pei Gongcuo suddenly pinched her jaw and said coldly, "Are you insinuating me? ”

"Don't dare." Hua Mian looked back at him with a faint smile.

"And what else you don't dare?" Pei Gongcuo increased the strength of his hand, "Where have you learned from "Women's Training"?" Don't you know what the three obedience and four virtues are? ”

Hua Mian frowned in pain, but still smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I don't have a father and mother, no one has taught this, I just know how to do it casually." ”

"What a casual one!" Pei Gongcuo sneered and let go of the hand that was clamping her jaw and stared at her for a long time. Until the coldness in his eyes turned into a surging pain, he smiled sadly, got up and dressed and left, and when he was about to walk to the door, he coldly left a sentence, "Early tomorrow morning, the Dongli wedding party will return to China, so you don't have to send each other." In addition, in order to express my gratitude to Emperor Cheng Zhao, I will prepare a rich return gift. ”

The voice lingered and disappeared into the night. Hua Mian looked out the window, and her heart was astringent.

The love of the emperor is really unwanted. A moment ago, I was talking sweetly to myself, you and me, in the blink of an eye, it is another world. When he immediately embraced her into his arms, he said that he had made a decree to make her a concubine, and that he would announce it to the world at the court meeting tomorrow, and that when she gave birth to his eldest son, he would make her queen. She didn't say anything, just smiled lightly, he was too exalted of himself.

She has long known that there are no useless women in his harem, all of them have extraordinary backgrounds, so the lowest rank is also a fourth-grade Jieyu. The back position has been vacant, and it seems that any woman has the strength to win the back position. With such fierce competition, she didn't expect him to be for herself.

Maybe it's because he really loves her, or maybe because she's the best candidate to maintain the balance between the harem and the court. In any case, he has a heart for her, after all, only the queen has such a grand wedding ceremony. In addition to not performing the worship ceremony and sacrificing to the ancestral temple, he has done enough.

It's just that today's ending is both expected and unexpected. She expected that he would put her aside because of anger, and she also expected that she would pass by the position of the concubine at the head of the four concubines, but she didn't expect him to not even pretend to be a person, and left Shuihua Palace on the night of the wedding, and what she didn't expect was that he didn't even give her a low-ranking title, and she became the only concubine without a name in this palace.

She didn't mind the title, but she was a little disappointed that he was just like any other man. Men are all interested in women's chastity. , he's not exempt from vulgarity. The glimmer of goodwill that once arose was also buried by a deep disappointment. Maybe she shouldn't have been disappointed in him, because there was no expectation.

It's just that he didn't even give her the last time he saw Brother Ye, when will he see him again?

"Niangniang, slave Shuyu, can you come in?" A soft female voice sounded outside the door.

Hua Mian gathered all her emotions and said in a manly voice, "What's the matter?" ”

"The emperor asked the slave maid to bring you in the blood-tonifying soup."

Hua Mian was stunned when she heard this, and immediately laughed at herself, he may have really loved her very much before tonight, and even thought of such a trivial thing for her, but after this night, all love may be gone. It's really a disappointment to this soup. If you don't need it anymore, why bother to let people in?

She said lightly: "No need, you can take it down." ”
