Chapter 54: The Big Wedding

On a summer evening, the sunset lingers along the banks of Kyoto's river, lined with weeping willows with thin leaves.

According to the previous agreement, after dinner, Chu Xuan came to the shore. Today, he is dressed very energetically, with a high bun on his head and a hosta pinned to it. He wore a black dragon pattern straight jacket, a white jade belt around his waist, and long soap boots. Jingle ring, fluttering clothes, handsome, there is a heroic spirit of a young emperor.

He walked to the head of the bridge, raised his eyes, and saw a petite twenty-eight girl, dressed in goose-yellow satin, quietly leaning on the railing not far away. She lowered her head, looking at the sparkling waves under the bridge in a daze, and the evening breeze brushed the long hair on her shoulders, bringing a faint fragrance. Who is this woman, not Su Xintang.

Chu Xuan walked over lightly and stayed at the other party's side, having the heart to say hello, but he was embarrassed to speak, so he stood behind her with his hands in his hands, without saying a word, just hoping that she would turn around first.

Su Xintang had actually noticed the person behind him, and his face suddenly turned a little crimson. She knew what it meant to come here to meet Chu Xuan today, but she was usually very arrogant, but at this moment, she was also squirming and embarrassed.

In this way, two young boys and girls, one leaned still, the other stood silent, and the atmosphere was very awkward.

I don't know how long it took, the cicadas on both sides of the river became quieter and quieter, and the sunset gradually disappeared into the sky, and it was about to get dark.

Su Xintang finally couldn't help it, turned around, and asked with some reproach: "You are a wooden man, why don't you say a word?"

Seeing that the other party finally turned around, Chu Xuan was secretly happy in his heart, but he still had a wooden expression on his face, and said innocently: "If you don't speak first, how can I know what to say?"

"Hmph!" Su Xintang said angrily, "Then what are you still doing here?"

"I'll do what you want here. Chu Xuan's heart became more and more proud, and the tone of his voice began to pick up lightly.

When Su Xintang heard this, his face turned red again, and he whispered: "Daddy said that you want to see me, where do I know what you are going to do......

As she spoke, she lowered her head again, and her two slender jade hands had nowhere to put them, so she had to fold them around her waist, and her shyness was clear at a glance.

Chu Xuan leaned over to look at the tip of her nose, and couldn't help but reach out and touch it, and for a moment, he felt his heart moved.

"You ......" Su Xintang's voice trembled slightly, and then became as thin as a mosquito, "You are... What do you want to do?"

Chu Xuan was silent for a long time, and suddenly grabbed her pair of Rouyi, approached her ear, and whispered: "I lack a queen now, do you know?"

"I know. Su Xintang looked up at him. At this time, night had come, and the faint moonlight reflected on Chu Xuan's face, making his face very white. He was also looking down at Su Xintang.

"From now on, I won't call you Master. Hmm, Chu Xuan?" Su Xintang suddenly smiled lightly, and two pear vortices appeared on his face.

Chu Xuan smiled: "Then I'll call you Tang'er too, okay?"

Su Xintang nodded, then broke free of his hand, lightly punched him in the chest, and said angrily: "You say, why don't you ignore me today?"

Chu Xuan was not annoyed, he held her hand again, and said softly: "I just want to try, do you really like me." ”

"You, what a fool!" Su Xintang said aggrievedly: "If I don't like it, why are you here?" I dressed up all afternoon, and I didn't even eat dinner, just to wait for you. ”

"Silly girl. Chu Xuan took her hand and walked forward, and said as he walked: "Then you must be hungry, I will invite you to have a good meal, and go to the restaurant where you invited me last time." ”

Hearing that he wanted to eat, Su Xintang was not aggrieved, and said happily: "This is what you said! Let's go, Miss Ben is starving." ”

Chu Xuan: "......"

So the two went to the restaurant to eat and drink (mainly Su Xintang), after eating and drinking, they held hands and wandered together in the night market in Kyoto until midnight, until the third watch, most of the shops were closed, and the two reluctantly parted and returned home.

...

Since that night, the relationship between Chu Xuan and Su Xintang has become increasingly close, and he almost forgot about Liu Xuan. Under the urging of Su Haochen and other ministers, Chu Xuan finally set his marriage date with Su Xintang at the end of summer.

In the blink of an eye, the end of summer has arrived, and the wedding day of Chu Xuan and Su Xintang has officially arrived.

The emperor's wedding was actually very troublesome, and according to the traditional etiquette, including the Nacai ceremony, the Great Levy Ceremony, the canonization ceremony, the welcome ceremony, the joint ceremony, the celebration ceremony, and the feast, from the preparation to the beginning and then to the end, it could not be done in a few months.

Chu Xuan has always disliked these red tapes, and after soliciting Su Xintang's opinion, he tried his best to delete these rituals, and simplified the process if he couldn't delete them, and finally it only took half a month for a big wedding.

The ministers only said that the emperor was anxious, so naturally they did not dare to speak out. Su Haochen was even more eager to marry his daughter into the palace as soon as possible, so that his Su family's power in the Great Zhou would go further, and no one would dare to provoke him.

On the day of the wedding, Chu Xuan wore a silk robe, rode a white horse early, and took hundreds of guards who played gongs and drums to send the dowry and the edict to Su Mansion, and personally welcomed Su Xintang's sedan chair into the harem. Then a banquet was held on the square outside the Fengtian Hall to entertain the civil and military officials who participated in the wedding.

After all, it was the first time in his life, Chu Xuan was rarely happy, and the ministers kept persuading him to drink, until he was dizzy, and he couldn't tell the difference between the north and the south, and drank from noon to night, so he staggered to his and Su Xintang's wedding room with the support of Leng Er and several palace maids.

Today is Chu Xuan's wedding, and although his heart is sour, Leng Er's face has to pretend to be happy. In fact, she also knew that with her humble background, she would definitely have no chance to be the queen, she only asked Chu Xuan to think of her own goodness and give herself the title of a concubine in the future.

Leng Er helped Chu Xuan into the wedding room and sat down, patted him on the back, and ordered someone to bring the sobering soup and feed him to take it.

Su Xintang on the dragon bed heard the movement, and couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, how much have you drunk?" At this time, she was still wearing a red hijab, and she couldn't see Chu Xuan's condition.

Leng Er said: "Niangniang, Your Majesty has drunk too much, you may have to rest for a while." ”

At this time, Chu Xuan, who was lying on the table and was drunk, suddenly stood up, burped, and said loudly: "Who, who said that I am drunk? The cave house is up. ”

The emperor had an order, and Leng Er and a group of palace maids did not dare to disobey, so they had to retreat silently while closing the door of the palace.

Seeing that everyone had retreated, Chu Xuan laughed a few times and said, "Ha, then it's time for the cave room next?"

He was so drunk that he asked himself questions and walked towards the dragon bed. When she walked not far from the bed, she suddenly tripped over the low stool on the ground, and then stumbled and fell to Su Xintang on the side of the bed, throwing her whole person down between the futons.

"Huh, how do you cover your face? I want to see what you look like. Chu Xuan said, and ripped off her hijab.

After seeing her appearance clearly, Chu Xuan was suddenly stunned, "You are so good-looking, have we seen each other before?" he patted his head and asked.

Su Xintang's heart seemed to be crashing into countless deer, and his goose egg face was a little redder than the drunk Chu Xuan, and he said in a trembling voice: "Husband, it's late at night, I... The concubine will wait for you to rest. ”

"Oh, I remember! The cave room is sleeping!" Chu Xuan suddenly screamed, and then lowered his head, as if to kiss the beautiful woman under him.

Seeing this, Su Xintang closed his eyes shyly.

"Hiccup......

However, when Chu Xuan's mouth was close to her face, he suddenly burped, and then fell asleep as soon as his eyes were closed.
