Chapter 09: Wine
After a while, there was a commotion outside the door, with footsteps and the sound of women commotion. Nanyang folk customs are so open, and the hole room is actually led by a woman?
"Your Highness, the prince is here." Sakura took the teacup she had in her hand and whispered.
Zhao Xinyue didn't move, her head was covered with a red hijab, and she couldn't see anything else except her embroidered shoes inlaid with pearls.
"Brother, quickly pick up the hijab and let me see the bride." The girl's voice is like a yellow warbler, very playful.
Zhao Xinyue was puzzled, Ji Chaoge still has a sister, why didn't she know? The hijab was picked up by Yu Ruyi, and the hall suddenly lit up in front of her, and Zhao Xinyue found that there were many people standing in the happy room, all of whom were fresh faces that she had never seen.
"Hey," Ji Qingqing gasped, stared at Zhao Xinyue unwillingly, and said, "This face is barely worthy of my brother." ”
Zhao Xinyue pursed her lips lightly, raised her eyes to look at Ji Chaoge, her eyes were full of undisguised mockery.
She sent someone to investigate Ji Chaoge, this man was like jumping out of the stone, and he didn't have a sister alone.
"Qingqing, don't be rude." Ji Chaoge said symbolically, but his eyes were full of doting.
At this moment, even Zhao Xinyue had to take a serious look at the bright-eyed girl in front of her. Ji Chaoge has always had a cold face, and he didn't smile at anyone, but he would show such a doting look.
"Sister-in-law, I'm used to being close to my brother, you won't be angry." Ji Qingqing turned her head and said with a smile at her.
Zhao Xinyue retracted her gaze lightly, fiddled with her cuffs, and said to Xi Niang: "Is the ceremony over?" ”
Xi Niang was taken aback, hurriedly poured two glasses of wine and sent them up, and said to Ji Chaoge: "Lord, please drink wine with the princess." ”
Ji Chaoge stretched out his hand to take it and handed one of the cups to Zhao Xinyue, only to see the other party staring at the wine glass, but he didn't take it. "Princess?"
"Your Highness, it's time to drink the wine." Bai Sakura stepped forward and reminded in a low voice.
It wasn't until this moment that Zhao Xinyue realized that she was really married.
Reaching out to take the wine glass, Zhao Xinyue lowered her eyes, and there was a dull pain in her heart, as if the scabbed wound at the bottom of her heart had been torn open by brute force.
"Princess, please." Ji Chaoge only felt that her expression was different, but she was tired all the way, and didn't think much about it.
Zhao Xinyue stared at the wine glass in her hand, suddenly raised her lips and smiled, and asked softly: "After drinking the wine, you and I are husband and wife, right?" ”
"Yes." Ji Chaoge nodded, not understanding the meaning of what she was asking.
The peach blossoms abundant in Nanyang are drunk, exuding the clear fragrance of wine, Zhao Xinyue looked at it intently, as if she saw the one in Hanshan Temple through the wine glass.
Who once told her that as long as they drank the wine, they would be husband and wife for life? Who had promised her that even life and death would not separate them.
Young feelings are the truest, but young promises are not true.
"Princess?" Ji Chaoge finally sensed that something was wrong with her, and just as she wanted to ask, she felt a spicy lip, and she poured a glass of wine, and at the same time, the wine in his cup was also drunk by her.
Ji Qingqing also noticed that the atmosphere was wrong, and the bride didn't seem to be very happy? There are not 10,000 people in Nanyang City who want to marry her brother, but 8,000, what is there to be unhappy about this woman?
In an instant, Ji Qingqing was dissatisfied with Zhao Xinyue and decided to embarrass her in the future.
"Brother, the bride is so beautiful, don't you want to kiss it?"
"Qingqing." Ji Chaoge frowned, but did not blame.
Seeing this, everyone began to coax, this said kiss and that said to have another drink, under the leadership of Ji Qingqing, the atmosphere suddenly became lively, except for Zhao Xinyue who sat on the side with nothing to do with herself.
"Princess, the sister is not sensible, please don't worry about her." Finally drove people away, Ji Chaoge turned around and wanted to explain to her, but saw that she had already removed the phoenix crown and the wedding robe. "The princess is so anxious, but it surprises the king."
Zhao Xinyue glanced at him with a look that you are a pig and you are stupid, walked to the table and sat down, and waited for Bai Ying to test the dishes one by one to make sure that it was okay, and then picked up the chopsticks and ate slowly.
Her behavior was extremely rude, but Ji Chaoge was unexpectedly able to understand. If he was in a different place, he would not dare to eat what others had prepared casually in her situation. "Is the princess suspicious of this king?"
"It's not." Zhao Xinyue shook her head, her long hair was scattered over her shoulders, and her long ink-colored hair reflected the blue skirt, which made her skin more and more white and jade. "Habit, King Nanyang doesn't have to be suspicious."
She was obviously suspicious, but in the end she persuaded him not to be suspicious. Ji Chaoge shook his head with a smile, raised his hand and poured himself a glass of wine, and was just about to drink it when he heard her speak again.
"If the prince doesn't want to spend an unforgettable night of candles in the cave room, it's better to drink less of this wine."
Ji Chao scolded the singer, but still raised his hand to drink it, and looked at her with bright eyes, "What kind of unforgettable night does the princess plan to let this king spend in the cave room for a lifetime?" ”
I'm afraid this man is not a fool! Knowing what the nature of their marriage is, they dare to ask with such interest?
What did she mean by that look? Ji Chaoge was inexplicably unhappy, put down the wine glass with a bang, and said unhappily: "Why doesn't the princess speak?" ”
"What do you want me to say?" Zhao Xinyue put down her chopsticks after tasting a little bit of each dish, and looked at him with a smile like a peach blossom.
Ji Chaoge looked at her intently, drank another glass of wine for a while, shook the wine in the wine glass and sighed: "Compared with the person in the princess's heart, how is this king?" ”
"You like me?"
"Nope." Ji Chaoge replied without hesitation.
Zhao Xinyue rolled his eyes angrily, "Then what are you comparing to him." ”
"The princess really has someone in her heart." Ji Chaoge's eyes were slightly gloomy, and he couldn't see his emotions.
What's wrong with someone in my heart? Who hasn't buried a surviving person in their hearts?
Zhao Xinyue stopped talking, glanced at the inner room with a dull expression, and glanced at Bai Sakura. After a while, Bai Sakura came out with a quilt and put it on the soft couch.
"This quilt was prepared for me by the princess?" Such a candle night in the cave room is really unforgettable.
Zhao Xinyue shook her head, smiled at him, shook her head and said, "No, this quilt is for myself." ”
"Princess, you're going to give me the bed?" Didn't you say that the eldest princess of Jingyang was rude and willful, arrogant and domineering, what is this?
"This is also your territory, and it is too unkind to occupy your nest on your territory. Tonight will be one night, and tomorrow the prince will prepare a new courtyard for me. "She doesn't pick, the stables have slept on, and the soft couch is nothing.
Hearing this, Ji Chaoge has changed her opinion, and it doesn't seem to be as annoying as rumored. But he was relieved too early, and Zhao Xinyue's next sentence was so angry that he couldn't take back his previous good feelings.
"Isn't the prince very moved? Don't be too moved, I attach great importance to chastity, and I don't love anyone who has no regrets, or I won't give up my body even if I die. ”
