The door was opened, and a ray of glow flowed into the room, red and gorgeous. Zhao Zhen bent down slightly when he entered the door. He wore a brocade robe with a dragon pattern, a jade belt around his waist, and a jade crown to tie his hair. The jawline is neat and perfect, and the body is tall, making it an unusually seductive silhouette.
Yi Xuan was slightly distracted. Zhao Zhen walked up to her, stroked her head with a smile, and asked, "How do you feel?" β
"It's fine." Yi Xuan was a little shy, but she didn't dodge it, "Has Your Highness had dinner?" β
"I used it." Zhao Zhen looked at the girl's thin face, her eyes flashed slightly, her fingers gently slid over her face, and she grabbed the girl's wrist and checked it.
It was so thin and white, as if he would break it if he exerted himself.
Thinking like this, Zhao Zhen was really afraid that he would hurt her. He let go and sat down across from him, glancing at the dishes on the table.
A bowl of bird's nest porridge, a cup of red dates and wolfberry chicken soup, a plate of crispy lotus root, and a plate of tofu skin buns, which are very light.
When I first recovered from a serious illness, I could only eat some light food.
Yixuan gave Shuang'er a look, and Shuang'er went out, and after the door closed, there was a long silence in the room. Zhao Zhen seemed to be obsessed with the appearance of a girl eating, with a gentle and pleasant expression.
Yixuan couldn't resist the pressure, and said with these jokes: "I heard that His Highness took care of me all night? β
"yes." Zhao Zhen admitted it very frankly.
Hey? Isn't Zhao Zhen quite awkward and good-looking? How can you admit it so easily?
Yi Xuan thought it was rare, and after a moment, he laughed out loud and said, "So, I was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall that day, and His Royal Highness came here on purpose, right?" β
The girl's eyes flashed with pride and teasing, Zhao Zhen held back and glared at her lightly, "Not bad." β
Zhao Zhen is used to being calm. The girl made him break the rules and do a lot of stupid things, but he was willing, and even enjoyed it.
Lonely for so many years, enough is enough, he wants a wife.
When Yi Xuan heard him answer, she didn't react for a while, but then she blushed first, bowed her head and ate silently. Zhao Zhen's heart softened and asked her, "Is it really okay?" If you feel unwell, just tell me, I will ask Hu Zhixian to come and treat you. β
Hu Zhixian's famous Yixuan has heard of it. The famous doctor who traveled all over the world refused to be called into the palace, but he followed King Yu everywhere, and he was also an interesting person.
"Really. Your Highness, you see, what patient has such an appetite as I do? β
β¦β¦ Like, yes.
Zhao Zhen smiled, looking at the girl's bulging cheeks and dizzy red cheeks, and the shadow covering her heart also dissipated.
Yixuan bit her chopsticks and asked, "Your Highness, have you gone to see the Queen Mother?" β
"Yes."
Yi Xuan lost his mind for a moment, his eyes dodged, and he said lightly: "Your Highness offended the Xiao family for me, why bother?" β
"It's not been a day or two for the Xiao family to be overbearing, and now it's just using your excuse to clean them up." Zhao Zhen said this because he didn't want the girl to blame herself. Although the Xiao family's behavior was not in his eyes, they never had a conflict with him, but often challenged the emperor. His emperor's younger brother, he should thank him well.
"What did the Queen Mother say?" Yixuan saw that Zhao Zhen did not object to her asking about these things, so she continued to ask.
At most, the Queen Mother united several ministers to write against it. It's a pity that the emperor doesn't like the Xiao family either, I'm afraid he won't help them. Zhao Zhen's expression was relaxed, he really didn't take these people seriously.
But the tree is very windy...... Yixuan thought silently, but didn't say it after all.
The two talked about marriage again, and Zhao Zhen was a little regretful, "I've made all the preparations there, but you're weak, so it's okay to wait." β
"I'm fine." Yi Xuan lifted her skirt and got off the kang, and walked a few steps steadily, her eyes were shy, "You can run and jump." β
Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing, and stretched out his hand to the girl: "Yixuan, come here." β
Yixuan walked over a little confused, the man patted her head twice, and asked her gently, "Do you know what it means to be married?" β
"It means that I am married to His Highness." She meant it from the bottom of her heart.
Although, this matter may not be what she wants, she can't imagine whether Zhao Zhen will hate her or hate her in the future. But at least for the moment, she is willing to be his wife.
Zhao Zhen nodded and smiled, "Not bad, but it doesn't stop there...... That's it, I'll talk about it later. You have a good rest, I'll go back to the palace first. β
*
Early in the morning of the tenth day of the new year, Yixuan was called by Shuang'er, saying that the mother who combed her hair and the mother who opened her face had arrived, and asked Yixuan to get up quickly.
She has lived two lives, but it is the first time she has been married.
But I've never eaten pork, and I've always seen pigs run. Yixuan has seen several sisters in the next room get married, and she has a score in her heart, and she is not panicked at all. Washed up slowly, had breakfast, and then invited the open-faced mother to come in.
This face opening is to use silk threads to remove the miscellaneous hair on the face and trim the sideburns, which is the same as the mother who combs her hair, and is operated by Quanfu women with in-laws, children, and husbands. This open-faced mother is a well-known Quanfu mother in Beijing, with a slightly plump body and a kind face, and there are more daughters of the family who have handled her hands, and she is a leader in this industry.
Rao is like this, the open-faced mother still can't do it when she sees Yixuan's tender face.
Yi Xuan lay flat on the high couch, her face was coated with a thick layer of facial grease, and her mother was very careful to control her strength, and said to Yi Xuan: "If it hurts, the girl will shout out." β
The pain is really a little painful, and the complexion is a little red after opening the face, and after washing the face and reapplying the grease, I will realize the beauty of this open face.
The jade skin is flawless and rejuvenated.
Then, more than a dozen maids came in and changed Yixuan's wedding dress. The coat is made of silk, the peacock feathers are embroidered with gold and silver threads, the pattern of the phoenix is flying, and the skirt is embroidered with bluegrass and rui beasts. The maids present, and even Yu Yixuan herself, were shocked by this scene.
As for the Xia curtain and the phoenix crown, they are even more extravagant.
Yixuan changed into a brand-new plain yarn mid-single, with an oversized shirt and a xia veil, a jade leather belt, and a colored ribbon and jade pendant. Stepping on the green neck, there are three round pearls on the head.
There are three layers inside and three layers outside, and Yi Xuan is out of breath.
Comb her hair, and her mother comes in to comb Yixuan's hair. Holding Yixuan's hair and weighing it, although it is very long, but it is too soft, it is no problem to comb some ordinary hairstyles, and if you want to comb a high bun, you can't stand up, you must use a wig to line.
"One comb to the end, two combs of white hair to the eyebrows, three combs of children and grandchildren all over the ground......"
The mother who combed her hair pulled Yixuan's hair into a bundle, pressed several hair bags, and embellished a lot of flowers, and the phoenix crown was not in a hurry to wear it first.
It is really tedious for a woman to get married, and it is already past noon just by finishing this. When the mothers went to eat, Yixuan was dressed up like a costumed doll, and it was difficult to raise her hands, so she used some rice balls under the service of Shuang'er.
"Lady, you can rest for a while, and the grandmother in the palace will come in the afternoon to teach you the rules." Shuang'er still feels sorry for her.
Yi Xuan smiled. She is most familiar with the rules of the palace, and she is familiar with it, and she will definitely not make mistakes.
The room was quiet, and Yixuan looked at the beautiful face in the mirror, and was quite excited. She is a person who has experienced life and death, but she does not see through the red dust, and her excitement is natural.
"Squeak", the door opened, Shuang'er saw someone coming, just saluted and went out.
"Who?" Yi Xuan asked casually, and looked up to see Wen Changbai standing at the door of the Warm Pavilion, looking at her with a flat look.
"Brother." She shouted for joy. Today she was in a good mood, and her voice was like honey, soft and sweet. But Yixuan herself doesn't think so.
Wen Changbai tightened his eyebrows, and there was forbearance in his eyes.
"You don't know how tiring it is to get married...... Yixuan complained to him with a smile, "From the busy morning to now, I want to lie down and rest for a while, but the wedding dress is heavy and the hair is cumbersome, let alone lying down, even if it is crooked." In the afternoon, Mama Xi came again to teach those old-fashioned rules, but in fact, Zhao Zhen didn't care about it himself......"
Wen Changbai slowly clenched his ten fingers, his eyes were heavy, and he suddenly interrupted her coldly: "Do you remember what to do?" β
You're not going to get married, it's just a faΓ§ade.
He just couldn't tolerate her joy as a bride.
Whether he is selfish or insane, what does the world say about him? His secret feelings, like a demonic barrier, haunted him for many years. Don't dare to speak up, dare not confess, and the dark emotions grow wildly over time. He could be silent, and he could bury the secret forever, as long as she was still attached to him, no matter what the reason.
However, his forbearance is not a reason for others to wait for an opportunity to seize it.
Otherwise, it would be hard for him to imagine what terrible things he would have done.
Wen Changbai watched the girl's smile slowly stiffen, and then gradually dispersed, looked at the air a little confused, and said, "I know, I know very well." β
He let out an "um" and walked behind the girl. Her black hair is as dense as satin, exuding the fragrance of a wood rhino, her fair face still has a bit of girlish childishness, but her eyes are dark and unfathomable. is obviously a beautiful and delicate appearance, and it is a little charming for no reason.
He looked at the red wedding dress dazzlingly.
He seemed to mention it casually: "Do you remember, what did you promise me when you were a child?" β
"What?" Yi Xuan obviously didn't remember.
Predictable...... A hint of gloom flashed in Wen Changbai's eyes, and he shook his head and smiled: "It's nothing." I'll tell you when I have a chance to do so. β
The little soft girl always likes to climb into his bed in the dead of night, saying that she is scared and wants her brother to accompany her. Wen Changbai patiently coped with the girl's little temperament, telling stories to lull her to sleep. At that time, the girl was too young, and others only said that the brother and sister were close. But when the girl was a little older, she was scolded by Zhou and her grandmothers, and she was not allowed to sleep with her brother again.
The girl was so aggrieved that she ran to him and dropped the golden beans and asked him, "Why can't I sleep with my brother?" β
"Because you're a girl, and your brother is a boy."
He had already understood the personnel, but he could only explain it to her in such a vague way.
"But my mother is a girl, and my father is a boy, why can they sleep together?" The girl was not convinced.
"Because my father and mother are husband and wife, husband and wife naturally sleep together."
The girl's eyes lit up and she giggled: "Then I will also be married to my brother, wouldn't it be good?" β
