24 The Great Wedding
Ling Dongwu is now doing whatever it takes. Create a peaceful environment for your child.
She wanted the baby. Very much.
With this child. She is no longer alone in this world. No longer a passerby. Child. It is a gift from heaven. In their own life. The only thing that can be possessed close to you.
Children for her. is the best consolation. The biggest escort. The small padded jacket is average. Let yourself be in the second half of your life. It will not be miserable. Truly lose the flesh and blood that the world has never had in a lifetime. This is what she lacks most in this world.
This life. I may only have the only chance to be a mother this time. No matter whose the child belongs to. This is the only one chance.
This child. It was Xiao Haotian's last gift to her. The biggest gift ever.
She must give birth to the child. Raise well.
Ling Dongwu has decided. I don't go to see Xiao Haotian anymore. Even if the child is born. I don't recognize him as a father. It's not that he's ruthless. It is the stubbornness and pride in the bones. So that she can't be jealous of men and others. Something like that. She couldn't do it. No matter what Xiao Haotian did to her in the past. It won't take long. He was to have children of his own. Even the three palaces and six courtyards. And she wants to take her own children with her. Be in the outer world. Live it well.
Xiao Yifei took Ling Dongwu back to the capital. Ling Dongwu sat in the carriage. Look at everything familiar in front of you. It's all so fresh in my memory. When I saw the majestic imperial city from afar. Her head was in turmoil. and Xiao Haotian's bits and pieces suddenly turned into glass shards. Stick it in your heart.
Remembering the vows I once made. Life after life. Life or death. Never give up. At that time, she was naïve and enthusiastic. Persistent and unrepentant. Believing that he is the only one in his life. Look at his figure. Look at his smile. I just feel that happiness has overflowed.
A little memory. Piece by piece aftertaste. A burst of bitterness. All bitterness wells up. It's like the waves. Layer by layer impacting the atrium. Torment. My heart was tormented to the point that it hurt. Whose fault is all this?
Imagine the unexpected person inside. between them. Who is the loser of whom. It's no longer clear. It was she who hurt him. Or did he hurt her. Let it pass. Strong as she is. Will definitely forget everything. Let's live again......
Xiao Yifei's home is very large. It was spacious. But the architecture of the Northern Desert is much the same. such layouts. If you put it in the eyes of ordinary people. It's going to be amazing. But in Ling Dongwu's eyes. It's mediocre.
She even lived in the palace. What was so strange about her here?
At this time, it was already the wax moon. Families are busy buying New Year's goods. When you are ready for the New Year. Everyone's face was beaming with joy. The children's faces lit up with excitement.
The eighth day of the lunar month. Laba.
Folk proverb: "Laba begins to celebrate the New Year." Twenty-three. Priest of the Stove; Twenty-four. sweeping the house; Twenty-five. grinding tofu; Twenty-six. to cut the meat; Twenty-seven. Steamed Zao Mountain; Twenty-eight. pasting New Year's pictures; Twenty-nine. Go buy wine; Chinese New Year's Eve. Eat glutinous rice balls; New Year's Day. Bow down ......"
The folk New Year is from the lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first month. It's a full 45 days of celebration.
The atmosphere of the Spring Festival of the Northern Desert people. It's as rich as people everywhere in the world.
After Laba. The Xiao Mansion also began to manage the New Year's goods. Cured bacon. Brewing and milling rice. Sprinkle and sweep the doorway. Clean the courtyard. Purchase all kinds of sacrificial fruits. Prepare an incense flower offering to welcome the gods.
Ling Dongwu as the housewife. should have been in charge of the overall situation. But because she is pregnant. Xiao Yifei did not give her any substantive rights. Everything is busy with the housekeeper and Sang Feng.
She's just borrowing light to get a little bit of youthful energy. I feel trivial customs and begging for faw, but the taste is ordinary food.
Rice is milled, pigs and sheep are slaughtered, new clothes are sewn, and sacrifices are prepared...... The steward led a group of subordinates. Get it all in place. Just wait for this day to come. Worship the god of the hearth. Of course. It is also to pray for the young master's wife and the child in her belly.
The night before. It snowed heavily all night.
When the door was opened on the second day. But see a faction of silver. Pine. on a cypress tree. It's all skewers of ice. There are still some. Forming a variety of strange animal shapes. Flower shape. It's as if the whole species has changed.
Look at everything in front of you. Ling Dongwu remembered the time when he used to celebrate the New Year with Xiao Haotian. Unconsciously burst into tears. But. Soon he quietly wiped it off sideways. No trace was left.
Ling Dongwu knew it was here. There are countless pairs of eyes watching you in the shadows. I don't have the capital to show any sad emotions. I'm not going to do it for anyone to see. Although she was a little embarrassed. But always try to eat a little. I hope I'm getting better. Sometimes I get greedy. Want to eat something. But because it's not my real home. So I can only endure it.
She thought about it. In the end, women have to rely on their own good deeds. Even Xiao Haotian can't be trusted. How could she expect to rely on Xiao Yifei, who had no relatives and no reason.
And at the beginning. The negative qi left from Xiao Haotian. She had nothing but a dress. Nothing. Now. After all the sweet dreams were completely shattered with the breakup with Xiao Haotian. But the world did not collapse. The days go on. I still have to plan for the future.
Too late to grieve. For a single unmarried mother. There is nothing more important than making money.
A man's love is the icing on the cake. Earning some money to defend yourself is the best thing in the snow. Now. Think of something. Earn some silver.
Inside and outside the palace were jubilant at this time. Up and down are in full swing about the eldest princess's marriage. The eunuchs and maids in the palace were busy preparing for the eldest princess's wedding. Xiao Haotian also had to cheer up. Changed to a bright coral color. A festive atmosphere is busy. Except for the usual political affairs. I also have to deal with some congratulatory and gift-giving officials.
It's finally time for the wedding. After bathing in fragrant soup. The palace maid put on Xiao Yingyue's nine phoenix gold and jade treasure skirt. This is the court dress of the princess of the Northern Desert Kingdom. Dark red light gauze base. Nine phoenixes adorned with gold thread and precious stones. The phoenix tail floats on the Luo skirt. Three feet to the ground. The phoenix on the dress has two tail feathers less than the queen's court dress. The whole set of court clothes is only three or two jewels. Between walks. The jade phoenix comes to life. Ready to fly.
The palace maid beside her looked straight. Laughing: "Princess." You are really the number one beauty in the world. ”
Xiao Yingyue smiled faintly. Is she the first beauty in the world? She knows. She's not.
Xiao Yingyue wore light makeup. Moisturizing as fat. Pink and greasy. Dai Mei is delicate. Green temples like clouds. It's really natural and beautiful, and it's hard to give up.
Loose red wedding dress. Just enough to cover her slightly bulging belly.
She was accompanied by the palace people. to give Xiao Haotian this trip. Xiao Haotian, who was wearing formal court clothes, was waiting for her. His court clothes were stacked on top of each other. I don't know why. She always felt that the brilliant candle flame above the Golden Temple today did not reflect the Golden Temple more brightly.
Xiao Haotian looked at her in a red wedding dress. Look at the dazzling red on the body. suddenly remembered Ling Dongwu standing in front of him in a red wedding dress. He will never forget. That day. Sunny. Flowers. He gave her the most beautiful wedding dress, the most dazzling phoenix crown, and the most luxurious wedding......
The memory of that moment. It really became a kind of eternity in his memory. He stood up. A sudden indescribable longing surged in my heart. It was a sudden longing. Drill into the heart. It's out of control.
I missed it like that. Miss Ling Dongwu. Not a day will stop. Everything about her. Her eyebrows. Her smile. Her gentle companionship. Before Xiao Yingyue returned. The time spent together. Between the two. It's all about raising eyebrows. Help each other in time of need with what little we have. It's simply more harmonious than the couple who love each other the most.
Overnight. Destroyed. Let him know. What is called the ruthlessness of the years. Passing by in a hurry, some of the beauty that passed by; Let him know that there is still a feeling. I can't even use my strength to cry if I want to.
The infinite loneliness of the heart. This moment. High. In fact. Who has ever treated themselves like this?
Xiao Haotian only felt a heat in his throat. Hold it down.
Outside, there was a lot of buzz. Xiao Yingyue took Yahuan and Xi Niang. looked at Xiao Haotian who was sitting in front of her. Coral-colored dragon robe. Silver-white hair. Dark blue pupils. Obviously rich and noble. There is an indescribable loneliness all over the body.
Xiao Yingyue has always thought. Xiao Haotian is a lonely and proud person. In my own impression. He had never been drunk. Didn't laugh out loud. Don't hesitate. Not impulsive. There doesn't seem to be any desire......
Perhaps Ling Dongwu occupies an important place in his heart. But that's not all. He was a sane man. How could it be that he could give it all he had. Let it soak into the bone marrow.
He may have had moments of loss of thought. But there will always be a wake-up.
After Ling Dongwu left. Xiao Haotian first fell seriously ill. Hook up the hidden diseases left by years of conquest in the body.
It hurts to the bone. made Xiao Haotian sweat profusely. The fire in the temple was raging. Don't leave. Zhou Ze. There are also many ministers and imperial doctors. But no matter how many imperial doctors there are, they are helpless.
Xiao Haotian was already dazed by illness. All he felt was the pain raging in his body. Like meat roasted on a fire. The burning sensation came in waves.
Xiao Yingyue has been standing outside the hall. Listen to the sound of pain piercing the eardrums. She almost jumped in shock. It was a terrible howl. A heartfelt voice.
She froze for a moment. Another howl. Like a beast.
Outside the hall, Xiao Yingyue had already burst into tears. The scream made her jump. Desperate to rush to the side hall.
A group of palace attendants knelt down to obstruct: "Eldest princess." The emperor has a decree. No one is allowed to enter. “
Xiao Yingyue's voice trembled. Red eyes. yelling: "Get out of here." A word came out. I was scared first. When did she learn to swear. Naturally, the guards had never seen the eldest princess look like this. They all silently got out of the way.
He pushed open the door of the temple and entered. Xiao Haotian. Her brother. The god in her heart. It looks so fragile. So helpless.
Xiao Yingyue covered her mouth to prevent herself from crying.
