It was already midnight when Gao Su returned.

He was tired and depressed, but after entering the door, he did not hesitate to go straight to his bedroom. The housekeeper followed him all the way, and whispered about the time when He Shikai had come and stayed alone with Gu Huan in the room for a stick of incense. Gao Su was slightly stunned, didn't ask anything, waved him away, and then pushed the door open.

Gu Huan was lying on the bed, already asleep.

The room was warm, Gao Su took off his clothes, and there were already servants in the outside room who brought a bath tub, filled it with hot water, and dripped perfume. He dipped in it and washed away the smell of wine, which made him feel a little more comfortable.

On the way back, he thought about it over and over again, and he didn't know how to tell Gu Huan that he was going to get married.

The palace feast, hundreds of officials gathered, the little Gao Wei looked at the dance choreographed according to the "Lanling King's Entrance Song", and suddenly said to him: "When the first emperor was alive, he was always thinking about Changgong's marriage, and now that the first emperor has died, Aiqing should complete the marriage as soon as possible to comfort the spirit of the first emperor in the sky." ”

His words were naïve, but on the premise of loyalty and filial piety, he immediately won the favor of the ministers and echoed them.

Gao Su couldn't refuse. Rejecting the emperor's will in "Lanling King's Entrance Song" is not only disrespectful, but also disobedient to the first emperor. Although Cushman & Wakefield is small, it is still impossible to see whether his nature is violent, but it is difficult to guarantee that he will not behead himself under the prodding of others.

Although there were many thoughts, it was only a short moment, and he immediately bowed down and promised: "The minister obeys the order, and he will pick a good day to welcome his relatives when he goes back." ”

Immediately, there were good deeds Zhang Luo, asking the eunuchs in the palace to bring the imperial calendar, and immediately picked out the auspicious day, and the tenth day of the second month was the most suitable to marry. Cushman & Wakefield was very happy and immediately decided: "That's the day." ”

Gao Su had nothing to say except nodding yes.

He had already figured it out, if he was gone, what would Gu Huan do? It was impossible for him to protect her anymore. Only by living can you make your beloved live well, what is the honor of the princess? Gu Huan is not a person who likes glory and wealth, as long as the two of them can stay together all the time, it is worth it for him to pay any price, even if he wants to marry a woman he doesn't know against his will, it is nothing.

Drying his body, he put on a white silk middle coat, walked into the inner room, and went to bed to lie down beside Gu Huan.

A servant went outside and took away the tub, blew out the lamp, closed the door, and the house was quiet.

After a while, Gu Huan suddenly whispered, "You're back." ”

Gao Su was shocked: "I woke you up?" ”

"Nope." Gu Huan moved his body, pillowed on his body, reached out to put his waist on his waist, and said lazily. "I slept all day and night, and I wasn't sleepy. I went to bed early tonight and woke up just now. ”

"Oh." Gao Su stretched out his arm, hugged her, and gently stroked her back, but still didn't know what to tell her.

After a moment of silence, Gu Huan said in a low voice: "He Shikai has been here." I know you're about to get married. ”

Gao Su was depressed for a long time, and sighed: "I have to do it, I have to obey." ”

"I understand." Gu Huan said calmly. "Marry, don't worry about me, I'm fine."

Gao Su's eyes were hot, he hugged her tightly, and said solemnly: "In my heart, there will always be only one princess, and that is you." ”

Gu Huan also hugged him tightly, as if he wanted to burrow his whole body into his arms and become one with him.

Both of them stopped talking, and after a long time, they gradually fell asleep.

There is a cloud in the world: "The Zheng family in the world is out of Xingyang." It shows that the Zheng clan there is quite prosperous, it is a nobleman of the Gaomen, and there are many civil and military generals, which is also the reason why Gao Zhan did not allow Gao Su to repent of his marriage. The imperial court needed the support of high-ranking scholars, and the Zheng clan was powerful.

As soon as Gao Wei had a will, ordering Gao Su to choose a day to complete the marriage, Zheng's side already knew about it, and immediately sent someone to Sizhou to ask for the date in accordance with etiquette.

Gao Su replied that the wedding date was set for the tenth day of February, and someone would be sent to Xingyang to welcome his relatives on the first day of February.

The convoy with a large number of dowry gifts then went to Xingyang, which became a sensational talk in the local area.

Subsequently, everything was prepared, the new house was decorated, invitations were sent, banquets were booked, and wedding dresses were made...... Speaking of which, in fact, it is not fundamentally different from modern weddings, but there is more red tape.

Gu Huan didn't move out of Gaosu's bedroom, because the new house was not here, but in another courtyard. It was originally used as a guest room for receiving VIPs, and the environment is elegant and luxuriously decorated, which is completely qualified for a new house.

Since Gu Huan was picked up with a high fever, Gao Su has not had any more affairs with her. Gu Huan didn't think about whether Gao Su thought that she had been involved with others, so he didn't want to love her anymore, but what happened in the palace that night was too painful, and she had lingering feelings about love, so she didn't think much about it.

The two shared the same bed night and night, but they just embraced, quietly, silently, leaning on each other, and then gradually fell asleep.

The wedding is in full swing, and it is busy up and down.

As the wedding date approached, Gao Su's three brothers came one after another, and other guests also arrived one after another, and the city of Sizhou became more lively.

Out of courtesy, Gao Su invited some important ministers in the court, including powerful people such as He Shikai and Gao Anaqiu, as well as relatives and friends such as Duan Shao and Hu Luguang, as well as children with noble status such as Emperor Gao Wei's younger brother Langya Wang Gao Yan. Originally, he was not familiar with the champion general Gu Xian, but after hesitating for a long time, he still sent him an invitation. Most of the people who were invited were very face-saving, and most of them tried to find time to come, and those who couldn't come also sent generous gifts to congratulate them. Gu Xian really wanted to come and see his daughter, but as soon as Duan Shao left, the heavy responsibility of guarding the palace fell on his shoulders, so he had to stay, but he still prepared a heavy gift and asked Duan Shao to bring it.

Gu Huan's body gradually recovered, but he was still a little weak, and he was easily tired when he walked around a lot. Gao Su is very considerate to her, every day in the mountains and seas, nourishing and good products, and try to find time to go out for a walk with her, but afraid that she will be tired, afraid that she will suffer from the cold, and protect her from wind and rain.

Gu Huan is very calm, occasionally smiling at him, but he is no longer as innocent and lively as before, he likes to talk nonsense and make him laugh. Gao Su was saddened by her change, but felt helpless. He was too young to know how to comfort her.

Gu Huan actually likes this feeling, the two of them have walked through the wind and rain hand in hand, experienced the vicissitudes of life, and pushed the hatred of the sea and the mountains together, that kind of love is the real sweetness.

Soon, the welcoming procession set off.

Gu Huan stood under the willow tree by the river, watching Gao Su's most trusted general, Captain Xiangxian, take the escort and servants out of the city.

Gao Su walked behind her and asked softly, "What are you thinking?" ”

Gu Huan looked up at the willow branches that were blooming with new shoots, touched the scene, and couldn't help blurting out: "In the past, I was in the past, and the willows were still there." Now I think about it, the rain and snow are falling. ”

Gao Su was silent for a moment, raised his hand to wrap his arm around her shoulder, and said gently: "Don't think nonsense, I will never let you leave me." ”

"I didn't want to leave you." Gu Huan turned his head to look at him and said with a smile. "However, I have half a year off and want to go out for a walk. It is better to travel 10,000 miles than to read 10,000 books. ”

"I'll arrange this." Gao Su couldn't help but say. "You take care of your body first."

Gu Huan liked his domineering very much, and nodded lazily: "Okay, let you arrange it." ”

Gao Su smiled, but after all, he was a little relieved, and in the future, he sent someone to follow her inch by inch, in case she said goodbye.

Gu Huan won't run first, she has to watch her loved one get married, and she has to confirm whether he is happy. Gao Su is pure-hearted, so she refuses to let him be bullied.

The welcoming team arrived in Xingyang on the first day of February, and then set off on the third day of the new year, bringing the bride, the family members who accompanied the marriage, and the rich dowry to Sizhou.

The tenth day of the first month of February is the great day of Gaosu.

Gu Huan got up early in the morning, put on a red wedding robe for Gao Su with his own hands, tied his clothes for him, combed his hair, and put on a happy crown.

Gao Su silently watched her busy around him, but somehow, he felt a desolate aura permeating the room.

Gu Huan did everything for him, then he took a step back, looked at him carefully, and then smiled: "You are the most handsome groom I have ever seen." ”

A red dress embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water is even more picturesque, but he does not have the joy of the average groom. He took Gu Huan's hand and said gently, "Huan'er, you have to be patient for a while." In the future, I will definitely make you my princess. ”

Gu Huan approached him, stretched out his other hand to wrap his arms around his waist, and said affirmatively: "Don't worry, I won't say goodbye without saying goodbye." ”

Gao Su relieved his heart at this time.

The housekeeper outside said respectfully, "Lord Wang, the auspicious time is coming." ”

"yes, got it." Gao Su took Gu Huan's hand and was about to go out.

Gu Huan smiled: "I have to change clothes, you go first." ”

Gao Su was very stubborn and refused to go out alone, but picked up the clothes prepared by Gu Huan and changed them for her.

Gu Huan was still wearing men's clothes, with snow-white clothes and pants inside, a pale yellow gown outside, and a small white jade crown on his head, which looked delicate and beautiful.

Gao Su smiled happily and said lightly, "It's very beautiful." ”

Gu Huan was also happy, so he walked to the front hall with him.

There were many friends there, but there were few people who had a relationship with Gu Huan. Gao Su hugged his fists with the guests, and there was no time to separate, and Gu Huan had already let go of Gao Su's hand, slipped into the hall behind him, said hello to Gao Yanzong, and ran to Duan Shao's side, and shouted with a smile: "Father-in-law." ”

Duan Shao sat on the upper seat, with a look of kindness and respect, and talked to the seven-year-old Langya Wang Gao Yan. Seeing her coming, he nodded happily, and then frowned slightly: "Why have you lost so much weight?" ”

"I suffered a cold a while ago and fell ill." Gu Huan's face was full of indifference. "It's all right now."

"Oh, be careful." Duan Shao pointed to the child in brocade next to him. "Come, I've seen King Langya."

Gu Huan immediately clasped his fists and saluted, and said with a straight face: "The last general, Gu Huan, has seen the prince." ”

Although Gao Yan was young, he knew etiquette very well, and said with a smile: "General Gu is exempt from courtesy." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Gu Huan raised his body and sat behind him following Duan Shao's gesture.

There was constant laughter in the hall, and the louder and louder music outside was almost covered, until the bride raised her voice at the door: "The auspicious time has come, please welcome the prince in front of the door." Everyone hugged Gao Su and hurriedly walked out.

Gu Huan followed out and watched with great interest as the bride helped the bride out of the big red sedan chair and put the two ends of the big red silk in the hands of Gao Su and the bride. The bride is not tall, with a slender figure, and she is gracefully held by her maid and the bride, and walks to the wedding hall with Gao Su.

The two worshipped heaven and earth in a regular manner, but Gao Tang did not, and hung a portrait of Gao Cheng instead, and then the husband and wife worshiped each other and sent them to the cave room.

Gao Su did not go in, and when the bride entered, he came out and ordered the feast to be opened.

Wine and food were quickly served, and the guests sat at the tables, mingling and laughing, and from time to time someone toasted the groom, and the scene was chaotic.

Gu Huan sat next to Duan Shao, eating vegetables while asking him about his father and stepmother.

Duan Shao smiled: "Your father is very good, but he seems to be younger." Your stepmother gave birth on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and added a younger brother to you. Your father named him Gu Yue. ”

"Great." Gu Huan was very happy. "I'll go out tomorrow to buy a golden lock, and you can help me bring it back to my brother."

"Okay." Duan Shao looked at her and suddenly said with concern. "Huan'er, King Lanling has already married, and you have also taken a half-year leave to the court, do you want to go home and have a look? Your father misses you very much, and so does your stepfather. ”

"I miss you too." Gu Huan said obediently. "However, even if I want to leave, I have to report to the prince."

"Hmm." Duan Shao said gently. "If you find it inconvenient to speak, I can speak for you."

"No, no." Gu Huan hurriedly shook his head. "I'll tell him when his family business is done."

"That's fine." Duan Shao didn't say anything more, and turned his head to greet the monk who was sitting not far away.

He Shikai kept smiling, his eyes occasionally brushing over Gu Huan, but he never spoke to her alone. Gu Huan just smiled at him, and didn't take the initiative to greet him. The two seem to be gentlemen's friendships, and no one can see how deeply entangled they have been.

The wedding banquet didn't end until midnight, and Duan Shao was too old to hold on, so he said goodbye and left first. Gu Huan was extremely tired, and after sending Duan Shao out of the door, he went straight back to the house, bathed and went to sleep.

Waiting until the moon stars were scarce and the drums were beating, Gao Su sent off the last group of guests.

He is a prince, his status is noble, few people have the courage to make trouble in the cave room, and he has a self-respecting identity that is equivalent to his rank and position, and he will not do that boring thing, so he has a lot less trouble.

He went to the new house, picked out the bride's hijab, and drank a glass of wine with the bride under the nagging of the bride, and ate red dates, peanuts, longan, and lotus seeds.

The bride is sixteen years old, she is not beautiful, she can only be regarded as a middle-aged person, but her temperament is elegant and square, and she has everyone's demeanor. The so-called "marrying a wife and marrying virtue", even in the eyes of others, this is a good match.

The red candle with the golden double happiness had already burned for most of it, and the bride looked at her famous beautiful and brave husband, and her heart was happy, and she couldn't help blushing and bowing her head shyly.

Gao Su said politely: "The princess has worked hard all the way, so let's rest." With that, he turned and walked out the door.

The bride's face suddenly turned pale, and she looked blankly at his departing back, not understanding what was going on.

Gao Su changed out of his wedding clothes, washed up, and hurriedly walked into Gu Huan's bedroom.

Gu Huan was awakened by the slight movement when he lay down, and asked very unexpectedly, "Why are you here?" ”

Gao Su smiled and said softly, "You forgot? I promised you that I would only undress in front of you alone, and that no one would see me. ”

Gu Huan looked at him blankly, and suddenly understood: "That...... What about your bride? ”

"She will be her princess, and I will treat her well." Gao Su rolled over and carefully pressed against her. "I'll only do this with you alone."

Gu Huan was so moved that he could no longer control himself, he reached out and hugged him tightly, and called softly: "Changgong." ”

Gao Su kissed her like a dragonfly in water, and then said in her ear: "Tonight, it's our cave candle, okay?" ”

Gu Huan's heart suddenly collapsed, and he cried happily: "Okay." ”

Gao Su solemnly untied her clothes, slowly took off her clothes, and kissed her with all tenderness.
