306.-for-tat
The marriage between the two countries dragged on for a long time, and it was finally decided, and in the end, the people of Daqi knew that the foreign princess that Huo Chen took was Princess Xiyao of the Wolf Country. Because it is related to the harmonious exchanges between the two countries, this royal wedding was still held on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and it was very grand and lively. The king of the wolf country, Wolf Ke, also came to the capital in person to watch his sister-in-law get married.
At nightfall, the banquet officially began, the red lanterns revealed a festive red light, and all the guests toasted to Huo Chen, and their mouths kept saying words of blessing.
Huo Chen's face was as usual, just perfunctory, the only thing that was the same was that he poured glass after glass of spirits, but he didn't feel the slightest drunkenness.
Xi Yao had been waiting impatiently in the new house, and she didn't understand why the people in the Central Plains had so many etiquettes, this red wedding dress made her feel very uncomfortable, and the gold jewelry on her head was also so overwhelming that she was about to breathe. She had only eaten a little while she had put on her red hijab, and now it was late at night, and her stomach was already rumbling.
She couldn't wait, so she was about to lift the red hijab and eat something first, but the door was pushed open at this time, she still guessed if it was Huo Chen, and there was a burst of joy in her heart, who knew that she heard Huo Chen say coldly: "The etiquette of the wolf country is that the bride can lift the hijab by herself?" ”
Only then did Xi Yao remember that her hand was still hanging there. She hurriedly put it down and said aggrievedly: "The wolf country doesn't have these troublesome etiquette, not to mention that I have been waiting for you for a long time." ”
Huo Chen didn't speak, casually lifted her red hijab, glanced at her lightly, and sat next to her.
"Lord, please drink wine with the princess." Gui Xin came over with two glasses of wine, and then retreated.
Huo Chen's cheeks were slightly red, and he was wearing a red groom's outfit, and his robe was also embroidered with gold thread, which further set off his nobility. Xi Yao had also heard that when men and women in the Central Plains got married, they wanted to drink a glass of wine, which meant that the husband and wife were in harmony and not separated, she was shyly picking up the wine glass, but Huo Chen had already raised his head alone and drank the wine cleanly.
"How can you do that? Aren't you going to drink a sake?! Xi Yao frowned, and the red makeup on her face was a little unnatural.
Huo Chen put down the wine glass and looked at Xi Yao sideways: "Princess, pay attention to your words and deeds, from now on, you will not be the princess of the wolf country, you are the princess of this king, don't speak to this king in such a tone." ”
Xi Yao was originally pampered by Wolf Ke in the palm of her hand, otherwise Wolf Ke would not agree to the marriage, she had never been so angry, and immediately put the wine glass in her hand, and the sake also spilled out.
"Since I am your princess, then you should also respect me." Xi Yao said unconvinced.
"How you became the princess of this king, you yourself should know very well." Huo Chen's voice was cold, and then he stood up and wanted to walk towards the door.
"You!" Xi Yao was annoyed and angry, it seemed that Huo Chen had no intention of having sex with him at all, which was a huge insult to himself. Xi Yao even ripped off the red tent on the side of the bed, threw it at Huo Chen, and tied his waist, "Since you have come in, how can you go out easily!" ”
Huo Chen looked down, and at this time, Xi Yao had already pulled back, wanting to pull Huo Chen over. But if you want to fight hard, how can Xi Yao compare to Huo Chen, Huo Chen grabbed the red cloth with his hand, and pulled Xi Yao over with one force.
His masculine aura was particularly strong, and from the bottom up, his outline looked like a knife, and her face couldn't help but turn red.
"Stop playing these little tricks, let's rest early." Huo Chen let go of her and untied the red tent around his waist by the way.
Huo Chen hurriedly walked out of the room, Gui Xin herself was guarding outside, and when she saw Huo Chen walking out, she hurriedly said in a panic: "Where is the prince going?" ”
"Go back to Tonghua House."
Gui Xindang stopped Huo Chen and said nervously: "Lord Wang, today is the day of the wedding, the prince can't do this, if this matter reaches the ears of the emperor, he will definitely reprimand the prince." ”
"This king has been swayed too much, can't he do what he wants now?" Huo Chen's whole body exuded a cold aura, and he directly bypassed Gui Xin and walked out of the Yishui Courtyard where Xi Yao lived.
Gui Xin sighed secretly, so she had to go in and sneak a look at Xi Yao in the atrium.
I saw Xi Yao sitting paralyzed on the ground, the skirt embroidered with lotus flowers spread out on the ground, she looked sluggish, but she didn't cry, but she must have regretted it at this time, marrying a man who didn't love her.
Early the next morning, according to the rules, Mu Wanqing still had to come to Xiyao to say goodbye.
She was dressed quite plainly, and the faint dark blue under her eyes could also guess that she didn't sleep well last night. She had a thin powder on her face, and because the weather was warmer, she wore a cuilan Luo skirt. Mu Wanqing's face was expressionless, and she didn't look up at Xi Yao, but she bowed.
Xi Yao sat there, raised her eyebrows, and said, "Raise your head and take a look." ”
Mu Wanqing secretly screamed badly, hesitated for a while, and raised her head. Looking at each other, Xi Yao was stunned, seeing Mu Wanqing's alluring appearance, she only felt hateful in her heart, no wonder Huo Chen didn't want to stay last night, it turned out that he was hiding such a beautiful concubine!
Mu Wanqing was palpitated by Xi Yao's gaze, and almost wanted to turn around and leave, this princess of the wolf country is a little similar to Wolf Ke, wearing the clothes of a Central Plains woman at the moment, it looks like an incongruous feeling.
In the end, Xi Yao easily let Mu Wanqing go back, on the way, Mu Wanqing's face was pale, her steps were a little unsteady, Zhi Ning helped her, and said: "Miss, you are not in good health, as long as you tell the princess, she will not embarrass us." ”
Mu Wanqing didn't speak, since that fever, her body has not been able to take care of herself, she knows that she is uncomfortable, but what can she do about it. She insisted on going to ask for peace today, just to see what kind of woman Huo Chen married back looked like.
I'm afraid Xi Yao is also thinking like this, Mu Wanqing thought secretly.
After returning to the Hibiscus Garden, Mu Wanqing was resting on the couch again, and just as she was drowsy, Zhining outside had already trotted in and said anxiously: "Miss, it's not good, the princess has come to the Hibiscus Garden." ”
As soon as Mu Wanqing put on her shoes, she saw Xi Yao walking in with her maid.
Xi Yao looked around and felt that this hibiscus garden was much larger and more gorgeous than her Yishui Courtyard, and the vinegar in her heart had already tumbled even more. In the end, she stared at Mu Wanqing and said, "Your name is Mu Wanqing, right?" It seems that the prince loves you very much, but you'd better disappear for me, otherwise you'll be good-looking. ”
