Chapter 42: The Great Wedding
Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is the seventh day of the lunar month, the day of Mu Ranyue's wedding.
Mu Ranyue was called up early in the morning, and in a daze, she let the palace maid guide her to complete the etiquette before getting on the sedan chair.
About two hours later, Mu Ranyue sat in front of the dresser, looking at herself in the mirror, excited and nervous, she was finally going to marry her beloved.
In the end, Yunshang put on a phoenix crown for her, looked at the dressed Mu Ranyue, and couldn't help but admire: "The peach is dying, scorching its glory." Your Highness is really more delicate than peach blossoms today. ”
Especially the cinnabar on the forehead, which sets off Mu Ranyue, who is like a fiery wedding dress, can be described as bright and beautiful.
Mu Ran Yue'er, and gave her a bracelet casually.
Because Ye Zichen had no relatives, Mu Ruiyuan ordered to worship in the palace, and he personally officiated the marriage.
After a short time, Mu Ranyue covered her head and was helped out by Xi Niang and Yun Shang.
Suddenly, a pair of warm hands grabbed her tightly, Mu Ranyue hooked her lips, she knew it was him.
Originally, Mu Ranyue should have been supported by Xi Niang to get on the sedan chair, but Ye Zichen directly picked her up horizontally and sent her into the sedan chair.
Ye Zichen rode a white horse, changing from the cold and arrogant of the past, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and undisguised joy on his face.
It didn't take long to arrive at the Minglan Palace.
Ye Zichen kicked the sedan car door according to the custom and pulled Mu Ranyue out.
Stepping over the brazier, the two entered the Minglan Palace.
Mu Ruiyuan sat on the top and looked at the pair in front of him, both relieved and sad. From then on, his beloved daughter would be left in the care of another man.
Mu Ranyue's heart was also a little reluctant, but although she got married, she could return to the palace at any time.
The master of ceremonies shouted loudly: "The auspicious time has come, and the worship hall begins." ”
"Worship heaven and earth."
"Second bow to Your Majesty."
"Husband and wife worship each other."
"Licheng."
Mu Ruiyuan opened his mouth and said: "Zuo Xiang will treat Changning well in the future, if there is the slightest neglect, I will never spare it." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Ye Zichen's thin lips opened lightly, but his tone was unquestionable.
The smile on the corner of Mu Ranyue's mouth deepened a little.
"Now that you are married to Changning, why are you still called Your Majesty?" Mu Ruiyuan said unhappily.
Hearing this, although Ye Zichen was a little unaccustomed, he still shouted: "Father." ”
"Okay, good ......," Mu Ruiyuan said with a smile.
Subsequently, Mu Ranyue sat on the sedan chair again, and the mighty team headed towards the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion with great momentum.
Mu Ruiyuan looked at their departing backs, suppressed the bitterness in his heart, and returned to Qiande Palace.
When the procession left the palace and entered the street, both sides of the road were surrounded by people watching the excitement. Everyone looked at this grand welcoming procession and the hundreds of dowries carried behind, and they were all amazed.
After arriving at the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, because he had already worshiped in the palace, he was sent directly to the cave room.
It stands to reason that the groom should go out to accompany the guests to drink first, but at this moment, he is sitting next to Mu Ranyue, but he doesn't want to leave.
"Dyeing ......" Ye Zichen's voice was slightly hoarse.
"Huh?" Mu Ranyue replied softly.
"It is the luck of Chen's life to be able to marry you."
Mu Ranyue's heart warmed, and the hand holding him became tighter and tighter.
It wasn't until Xi Niang urged again and again that Ye Zichen reluctantly went out.
Before leaving, he instructed Yunshang to prepare something to eat for Mu Ranyue. Although women can't take off their hijabs to eat at this time, Ye Zichen doesn't care about these etiquette.
After Ye Zichen left, Mu Ranyue took off her hijab, lay on her back on the bed, and said with a bitter face: "I'm really tired." ”
If it weren't for the etiquette at night, she would have wanted to take off the heavy phoenix crown on her head.
Although this phoenix crown has been restructured and is much lighter than the ordinary phoenix crown, it is still very tiring to wear it for a long time.
Yun Sheng obeyed Ye Zichen's instructions and brought a snack for Mu Ranyue, "Your Highness, let's eat something to fill your stomach first." ”
Mu Ranyue was really hungry, so she immediately got up and picked up a piece of bread and ate it.
While eating, he asked, "Isn't it impossible to eat casually on the wedding day?" Who told you to prepare? ”
Yunshang smiled: "Who else can there be besides the horse master?" Master Ma is very distressed about your body, Your Highness. ”
Mu Ranyue smiled slightly.
After a while, I finished the snack.
……
When Ye Zichen came in, Mu Ranyue had already covered her head and was sitting upright on the wedding bed.
Ye Zichen couldn't wait to step forward and directly uncover Mu Ranyue's hijab.
Xi Niang hurriedly stopped: "The groom can't be like this, the ceremony is not over yet." Ask the bridegroom to take up the hymn and take up the hijab, and from then on he will be satisfied. ”
Ye Zichen took the scale pole and slowly picked up Mu Ranyue's hijab. Mu Ranyue raised a shy smile, looked at Ye Zichen in front of her, and was instantly amazed.
Ye Zichen is dressed in red, and he lacks the temperament of a fairy on weekdays, but he is evil and abnormal, giving people a deadly temptation.
And Ye Zichen is not amazing to Mu Ranyue? He couldn't help but want to lean down.
"No, we haven't drunk the wine yet." Mu Ranyue looked shy.
The bride next to her looked at them, and she was also stunned, she had been a bride for so many years, and she had never seen such a stunning couple.
Listening to Mu Ranyue's words, she remembered her own affairs and was a little embarrassed on her face.
"Invite the bride and groom to drink the wine to tie the knot forever."
The two of them crossed their arms and drank the wine in their hands.
"Licheng." Xi Niang finally breathed a sigh of relief and retreated with the maids.
Mu Ranyue was still thinking about saying something to Ye Zichen, but Ye Zichen took off the phoenix crown on her head and leaned over to press her on the bed.
The warm breath of "Dyeing ......" sprayed on Mu Ranyue's face, and Mu Ranyue couldn't help but be a little stupid.
However, after all, it was the first time, and she couldn't help but be nervous.
She was half pushing, her voice was hoarse and a little trembling: "Don't ......"
How could Ye Zichen not understand her nervousness, and comforted softly: "Tonight is the night of candles in our cave room, be good, don't be afraid." ”
Ye Zichen kissed her slowly, Mu Ranyue twisted and pinched for a while, and gradually stretched.
Clothes were thrown out of the low-hanging curtains until they were completely honest with each other.
Mu Ranyue was provoked by Ye Zichen and could react, she blushed and went to cater to him, but Ye Zichen suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Mu Ranyue asked with some trepidation, why did she suddenly stop at a critical time?
Ye Zichen stared closely at the jade pendant around Mu Ranyue's neck and asked, "How did you get this pendant?" ”
Mu Ranyue was puzzled why he suddenly asked about his pendant, and replied, "Sent by my father, is there a problem?" ”
When she was a child, she went to her father's palace, and accidentally found this jade pendant, and thought it was very beautiful, so she asked Mu Ruiyuan to give it to her, Mu Ruiyuan was a little hesitant at first, but she couldn't stand her repeated pleas, so she gave it away.
"Why haven't I seen you wear it on weekdays?"
"My father told me not to let others see it, so I only wear it when I wear a collared skirt on weekdays, so naturally no one will see it."
She always felt that there was a story about this jade pendant, and she asked her father, but his father said that it was her mother's relic and asked her to keep it.
After getting the answer, Ye Zichen didn't say anything more, and continued to do what he had just done.
But Mu Ranyue pushed him away: "Why did you suddenly ask about this?" "She always felt that something was wrong.
Ye Zichen teased and said, "I just think it's beautiful." ”
Mu Ranyue wanted to ask something, but Ye Zichen kissed her directly on the lips, so that she couldn't say anything.
"Hmm......" Mu Ranyue couldn't help but cry out, and the jade arm around Ye Zichen's neck became tighter.
Although it hurt, Mu Ranyue felt unprecedented satisfaction, they were finally one.
Ye Zichen felt her pain, her movements became more and more gentle, but it was extremely lingering, the first taste of the beauty, he couldn't help but ask her over and over again, until Mu Ranyue was so tired that he fell asleep, he didn't stop.
But he couldn't sleep a little, on the one hand, he was happy, and on the other hand, it was because of the jade pendant around Mu Ranyue's neck.
When Zichen woke up the next night, it was already dark. He suddenly looked at the girl sleeping peacefully in his arms in shock, because he found that the cinnabar mole between Mu Ranyue's eyebrows had actually turned into a cluster of bewitching red lotus, adding a little more enchanting to her beautiful face.
Ye Zichen was puzzled, and couldn't help but kiss the red lotus. Mu Ranyue woke up faintly and rubbed her eyes.
"Brother Chen." Looking at the handsome face in front of her, Mu Ran Yue smiled, this perfect man was finally hers.
Ye Zichen looked at her delicate smile, the * in her heart was indescribable, and she couldn't help leaning over and kissing her on the lips.
"Don't ...... My body hurts. Mu Ranyue hurriedly pushed him away, her body was really tired last night and was about to fall apart, and she was still sore. How can you stand him coming a few more times?
Ye Zichen was stunned, tried to suppress her heart*, and slowly let go of her: "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through." ”
"I want to bathe." Mu Ranyue only felt extremely uncomfortable on her body and wanted to soak it well.
Ye Zichen immediately picked her up horizontally and entered the bathroom.
In the center of the bathroom is a large bath that can accommodate three or four adults almost at the same time. And the hot water in the bath is always prepared, and it is changed from time to time, just because of Ye Zichen's serious cleanliness.
After Ye Zichen put Mu Ranyue into the bath, he didn't plan to go out, but entered the bath to prepare to take a bath with her.
Mu Ranyue hurriedly stepped aside, "You, you go out." ”
Ye Zichen smiled: "If I go out, who will serve the lady to bathe?" ”
"I don't need to be served." Mu Ranyue said in a low voice.
"But I need, as a wife, shouldn't I wait for my husband to bathe?" Ye Zichen raised an eyebrow.
"You, you scoundrel!" Mu Ran Yue said angrily.
Ye Zichen pulled her over and imprisoned her in her arms, made her unable to move, and coaxed: "Be good, let her husband serve her mother well today." ”
Mu Ranyue couldn't break free, so she had to let him go. Then she inadvertently looked down and saw her own reflection in the water, the red lotus between her eyebrows was clearly visible, she reached out and stroked it gently, her face was incredulous.
Then I was very excited in my heart, and I couldn't stop smiling on my face. She had always thought that the Murong family's record of the imprint on the Murong woman's body was just a legend, after all, it had never been fulfilled for hundreds of years, but she didn't expect it to be fulfilled on her.
Seeing her so happy, Ye Zichen was a little puzzled.
"Brother Chen, aren't you curious about why the mole between my eyebrows turned into a red lotus?" Mu Ranyue asked with a smile.
"Huh?" Ye Zichen originally wanted to ask, but then he suddenly forgot about it.
Mu Ranyue told all the reasons, Ye Zichen listened, her face was surprised, her arms contracted, and she hugged her tighter.
He was glad that he was the person she was destined for. This shows that the two of them are really a pair destined by God, and the lotus between her eyebrows is just blooming for him.
It's just that in this way, the guilt and entanglement in his heart are deeper, because he is destined to do something sorry for her in the future.
Half an hour later, the two came out of the bath, and Ye Zichen dressed her and carried her out.
After Mu Ranyue washed, she only felt refreshed and comfortable. Fortunately, Ye Zichen was considerate of her, and really just bathed with her, and the two also played around for a while, but they didn't do anything to her.
During lunch, Mu Ranyue suddenly asked, "Why didn't you go to the court today?" ”
Ye Zichen smiled dumbly: "The courtiers are married, and the marriage leave is three days." ”
"Oh." Mu Ranyue reacted and felt that this question was really idiotic.
And she was pleasantly surprised to find that the dishes on the table were all her favorite food.
She knew that it was Ye Zichen who had specially learned about her eating habits, so she ordered someone to make these dishes she liked.
Mu Ranyue was quite moved in his heart, it was good that he could take himself to heart like this.
In the afternoon, Ye Zichen went to the study to deal with business. And Mu Ranyue took out the jade pendant that her father gave her, and looked at it again and again.
She knew in her heart that there must be something wrong with this jade pendant, her father didn't want her to wear it, and Ye Zichen also had a strange reaction when she saw this jade pendant, if it was just a relic of her mother, what did it have to do with Ye Zichen? She didn't think that Ye Zichen was amazed by this jade pendant.
It's just that she watched it for a long time, and she couldn't see the reason, and wanted to ask Ye Zichen, but Ye Zichen's reaction last night made her know that Ye Zichen would not tell her explicitly.
Well, if you don't know, you don't know, and sometimes it's not a good thing to know too much.
As the head of the prime minister's house, the first thing Mu Ranyue had to do was Liwei, and she ordered someone to let the housekeeper come over.
Although she was lazy and didn't want to care about anything, at least she had to go through the motions.
