Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Wedding in Beauty
In the early summer, he cleaned his teeth, cleaned his face, and put on the red wedding dress sent by the palace of King Chen......
Zhiqiu brought the jewelry sent by King Chen that day to the dresser, and Aunt Zhao, who was the most skillful in the house, served her to comb her hair.
Suddenly, I heard the little girls standing outside the door waiting for the order calling: "Master." ”
It's Daddy coming.
"Daughter, daddy is in?" General Rong said.
"Daddy, please come in." Rong Yunxi said, getting up to greet his father.
General Rong entered the house and saw his daughter wearing a red wedding dress, and his eyes instantly turned red. Busy suppressed his emotions and helped his daughter to get up.
"It's nothing, my father just came to see you." General Rong said deliberately lightly.
Seeing that his daughter hadn't combed her hair yet, General Rong said: "My father is here to watch you for a while, you continue, don't delay the hour." ”
"Yes." Rong Yunxi gave a salute to his father and responded.
Sitting in front of the dresser, looking at the comb in Aunt Zhao's hand, from the top of her head, to the ends of her hair-
"Comb to the end ......"
Aunt Zhao muttered, and the comb returned to the top of her head again, slowly falling from the top of her head to the end of her hair: "Second comb comb until the white hair is up to the eyebrows......"
Aunt Zhao's hand returned from the end of her hair to the top of her head again, and her voice was a little choked: "Three combs until the children and grandchildren are all over the ground......"
"Four combs to four silver shoots are all ......"
Rong Yunxi looked at his father sitting on the round stool in front of the bed in the bronze mirror, and saw that his father was secretly wiping the corners of his eyes...... Unconsciously, my nose was sore, and my eyes were a little red. But he held back, and the tears that he wanted to shed were poured back upside down, and he swallowed them all. On the face, calm was restored again.
She didn't want her father to worry about her.
Aunt Zhao slowly combed from beginning to end, and after combing, she began to coil her hair in a bun.
Aunt Zhao is very skillful, this lotus bun is very beautiful, and it matches the pure gold and red agate headdresses sent by King Chen's mansion.
Rong Yunxi found out that King Chen was careful, this hair ornament was actually matched, and there was also a pair of red agate inlaid gold earrings, which matched the color of the wedding dress, the color of the headdress, and the color of the hijab.
After Aunt Zhao finished combing, in the mirror, she was already a bride to be married.
"Miss, the slave maid puts on makeup for Miss?" Aunt Zhao said.
Rong Yunxi nodded slightly.
Aunt Zhao knew that her young lady had never wanted to wear heavy makeup, so she just put on a light makeup for the young lady, without losing her original complexion like a clear water hibiscus. But after all, it is a wedding, the makeup is too simple, but it is not grand enough. So I used rouge to rejuvenate the water, found an unused thrush pen in the dressing box, dipped the color of rouge, and drew a red plum blossom in the center of the lady's eyebrows.
"Aunt Zhao's hands are so skillful", early summer came up to take a look, and said with a smile, "This plum blossom falls under the young lady's full forehead, like Dai's beautiful eyebrows, it is like a fresh one." ”
Rong Yunxi looked at this makeup and was extremely satisfied.
After looking at it for a moment, he smiled slightly: "Aunt Zhao is so good......"
"It's a good young lady's birth", Aunt Zhao looked at the beauty in the bronze mirror, and couldn't take her eyes off, "It's really a blessing for His Royal Highness King Chen to marry a peerless beauty like Miss......"
Rong Yunxi's smile was a little bitter......
This bun is good, the makeup is good, this wedding dress is good, everything is fine...... But why can't she rejoice in her heart? Strangely, there is no sadness.
Rong Qing got up slowly and said, "Daughter, I also have some breakfast, I have to toss this morning." For my father, I went back to the front yard first, and the guests arrived. ”
Rong Yunxi got up to say goodbye to her father, but Rong Qing didn't dare to look at her daughter.
His daughter is going to be married today......
Not long after my father left, I heard that the people in the front yard came to report that the queen mother, the emperor, the queen, and the concubine Niangniang had sent someone to send congratulatory gifts, and it was better.
But Rong Yunxi is a bride, so obviously she doesn't need to go out to thank her.
Rong Yunxi ate some small vegetables and porridge, wiped his mouth, took another bite of the fat, and sat at the head of the bed and waited.
When the official media arrived, she hurriedly covered her with a red hijab, and instructed some rules to pay attention to later, so she had nothing else to say.
After a short time, someone came to the door and said, "The auspicious time has arrived—His Royal Highness King Chen has come down to receive his relatives—"
Suddenly, the general's palace was filled with joy. This sudden sound was a little harsh, and it shook Rong Yunxi's eyebrows, which was extremely uncomfortable.
Hong Guanmei supported her, accompanied by this joyful voice, Rong Yunxi's footsteps were very heavy......
"The king should be a rock, and the concubine should be a reed. The reed is as tough as silk, and the rock has no transfer...... Brother Ling, I like this poem......"
In Rong Yunxi's mind, the words she had said suddenly sounded. At that time, she held the "Yuefu" in her hand and pointed to this poem to read to him, her face was red and burned badly. Just like this opening of her eyes, she saw that her eyes were full of red.
It was what she wanted to say to him, it was her affectionate response to him, and she knew he understood.
"The king should be a rock, and the concubine should be a reed. The reed is as tough as silk, and the rock has no transfer......"
Rong Yunxi's footsteps stopped.
In her mind, his face came to mind.
He turned around and smiled at her. The smile was as dazzling and warm as the sun......
He said, "Xi'er, after your seventeenth birthday, I'll go to the house to propose to the teacher, okay?" ”
She was shy to answer.
He was anxious and asked, "Xi'er, don't you want to marry me?" Am I not good enough? “
He promised, "Xi'er, I promise to be good to you alone in my life, and I won't look at other women, we will be a couple for the rest of our lives, and we will never get tired of seeing each other until we are white-headed, do you say okay?" ”
She ran away, leaving him with only two sentences: "If you want to come, come here, no one will stop you!" Anyway, Daddy likes you! ”
He chased after her, ran around her, and was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth: "Great! Xi'er promised me, Xi'er will be my princess...... I'm so happy...... I'm so happy......"
The tenth day of the next month will be her seventeenth birthday.
Hong's official media gently urged: "Miss? ”
Rong Yunxi closed her eyes and took a deep breath...... When I opened my eyes, I was already resolute.
After crossing the threshold, the steps became more and more firm.
In this world, there is no turning back.
And at that time and place half a month ago, she had no choice at all.
It's true that she bears him, but in her heart, she is worthy of it.
With the support of Hong's official media, Rong Yunxi went all the way to the main courtyard, and then from the main courtyard to the door.
The vermilion gate opens......
"Miss is out of the cabinet......" Hong official media shouted loudly.
General Rong followed his daughter and staggered to the door. Others looked at it, on this happy day, General Rong's demeanor and figure seemed to have aged more than ten years in an instant. is really "marrying a daughter is like cutting meat", this sentence is really suitable for General Rong, who loves his daughter like his life. Everyone present was a little embarrassed.
Rong Yunxi noticed his father's footsteps and noticed that his father stopped at the threshold.
Before stepping down the first step, Rong Yunxi stopped and slowly turned around.
knelt down in the direction of his father's official boots at the door...... Three prostrations......
There are no words, but tears are in the eyelashes. Through the hijab, this time, Rong Yunxi did not deliberately control it, but let that tear hang down.
King Chen, dressed in a red wedding dress, rode on a sturdy white horse and stood in front of the big stone lion at the door. Watching the delicate woman kowtow heavily to the ground, she couldn't stand for a long time...... A strange look flashed in his eyes.
A woman's first marriage, in her life, is indeed only this once.
King Chen looked at the bride in red, walked down the steps of the general's mansion calmly, and bowed to him very well. Immediately, he was supported by the official media and got on the sedan chair.
This little woman has always been so steady, unhurried, and so polite, she does have some different styles.
"The prince took the princess back to his house...... Get up the sedan chair ......," the empress dowager specially sent from the palace shouted.
Joy sounded again, lively and lively, and the ten-mile long street was immersed in this joyful atmosphere.
The people watched in the middle of the road, not far behind the sedan chair, there were ministers who congratulated their families and followed them to the palace of King Chen.
In front of the sedan chair, there is a long guard of honor, and King Chen is riding on a horse and walking in front of this guard of honor. Even if he is dressed in red and has a big red flower hanging on his chest, he still can't hide his peerless demeanor. This body is red, and ordinary men must not look good in it, but because of his well-proportioned and sturdy posture and lofty bearing, this red body that is not suitable for men to wear has a shocking beauty. When people look at it, they can't help but feel that it is the first time they have seen it, and it turns out that this red color can also show such a masculine demeanor.
In the crowd, a woman wearing a purple Luo skirt held a brocade handkerchief tightly in her hand.
Her eyes followed his posture, and she was stunned, but her heart ached......
"Miss", a little girl in green clothes said on the side, "Let's go back quickly, there are too many people on the street, don't let these ordinary people run into Miss." ”
Qin Yingxuan scolded her: "Mouthy." ”
Why, why can't the person sitting in the sedan chair be her......
Three years ago, she was a draft girl in the palace, and she was originally given the opportunity to serve in King Chen's mansion, but she missed the draft due to illness, and it was delayed for another three years. There are still three months left, and the palace will be drafted again, but now, King Chen has a princess, maybe the emperor and the queen mother will no longer give him the show girls to serve.
She regretted it very much, if she hadn't kept saving face and didn't want her father to notice her thoughts, maybe the person sitting in this sedan chair today would be her......
Joy blows and blows, and Rong Yunxi sits quietly in the sedan chair. The sedan chair is bumpy, joyful and noisy, but the heart of the tide can be tolerated, but it is very quiet.
There will be something for her to do in a while, and she just needs to do it according to the guidance of the person, and it doesn't matter.
Suddenly, there was a strange sound in the crowd, even mixed with some exclamations. Joy played a few awkward blows and listened.
