Chapter 286: Missed a Good Day
The breeze was uneasy on the side, and he was silently counting the hours in his heart. Count how many pillars of incense are left until the auspicious time.
Liang Bairou had already secretly instructed the eunuchs of Chonghua Hall to deliver the news to the Qinghui Palace, but there was still no one on the other side of the Qinghui Palace, and the welcoming team did not even appear.
The Southern Dynasty has always advocated that the bride can be welcomed into the sedan chair in advance, and the time must not be missed. Otherwise, it will be regarded as unlucky, and the husband and wife will have ups and downs in their marriage, and they must not grow old together.
Qingfeng tugged at Liang Bairou's water sleeve at the right time, and his eyes were full of worry, and there was less than an hour left before the auspicious time. Is His Royal Highness King Qinghui really able to come over? Now there is not half a figure in this procession to welcome relatives......
Liang Bairou also tightened her eyebrows, and her heart was a little hesitant, she was looking forward to whether King Qinghui would come today, so even if Xue Hainiang stayed, it would not be considered a disobedience to the holy decree. On the other hand, she hopes that Xue Hainiang can be happy......
I don't know if it's out of selfishness, but she found out at this moment that she was looking forward to the former!
Liang Bairou's heart pounded, and she looked at the empty street as if she was hallucinating.
After all, God is not as good as Liang Bairou's wishes. Just when there was still half a pillar of incense left before the auspicious time, the earth-shattering sound of beating gongs and drums came into his ears, and Liang Bairou looked at the band and saw that her eyes were straight.
Qingfeng exhaled a long breath, and there was a sense of the rest of his life, and he hurriedly said: "Niangniang, Miss Hai, Qinghui is here to welcome His Highness." ”
Xue Hainiang estimated the time in her heart, and she already had some calculations in her heart, but she listened to it at the moment, but said lightly: "Even if you come, you will inevitably miss the time." She has always had excellent ear skills, and often goes in and out of the palace, she knows how long this road is from the side gate of the palace, and now she has only heard the sound, thinking that even if Nan Shuke gallops on a horse, she can't welcome her into the sedan chair in the half-pillar incense.
After all, it was a missed day.
But it's okay, she never thought of staying with Nan Shuke for the rest of her life, raising her eyebrows, and her children and grandchildren are full.
The auspicious time has arrived, but the person who greeted the relatives has never appeared in front of Xue Hainiang on a red horse.
Xi Niang looked at Liang Bairou a little helplessly, and then looked at Xue Hainiang, whose face was covered under the hijab and now knew nothing about the outside world. sighed softly, thinking that this girl didn't know that she had missed the hour now, otherwise where could she be so calm.
Liang Bairou didn't even look at the band - there has never been a protagonist from beginning to end, is this Qinghui King deliberately letting Xue Hainiang sing a one-man show on stage alone?
She tugged at Xue Hainiang's water sleeve, and she had a posture of pulling her away.
Xue Hainiang gently brushed her hand away, and a low and light voice overflowed from the red and shallow lips, "Concubine De Niangniang, has His Royal Highness King Qinghui arrived?"
For a while, everyone kept silent, for fear that if something was wrong, it would touch the girl's pain.
Liang Bairou was ruthless, her dense and curly eyelashes covered the dark light that swept through her eyes, she opened her mouth, and said softly: "Hai Niang, it's good for this palace to take you back to the palace...... Let's go to the emperor to make the decision, no matter how noble his status is, he Qinghui should not despise you like this. "It's a missed marriage.
If you are unwilling to marry Xue Hainiang from the beginning, why should you accept the will of the Queen Mother.
Xue Hainiang shook her head lightly, what was shocking was that this person who had been extremely indifferent from beginning to end had never seen any signs of anger, "Why are you looking for the emperor? I have already heard the sound of the band, and His Royal Highness King Qinghui is already on the way to welcome me into the sedan chair." ”
When I said this, I still had a smile of seven points and a number of courtesies, which made people more and more unpredictable.
Liang Bairou couldn't take her, bit her lip and finally didn't answer.
The noise of gongs and drums is getting closer, and it also indicates that the welcoming procession is approaching.
'Phew'
The sound of horses' hooves resounded in my ears, and the howling and low male voice, the white horse hung with red silk stood in front of everyone, and the man on the horse was smiling and polite.
"I've seen Concubine De. The person who came did not dismount, but pulled the reins and bowed to Liang Bai on the horse's back as a salute.
Liang Bairou was stunned on the spot, a little hesitant, "...... Who are you, Your Highness? ”
originally thought that the auspicious time of the mistaken marriage was the last thing His Royal Highness King Qinghui knew about etiquette, but now the scene in front of him shocked Liang Bairou and almost couldn't close his mouth.
Xue Hainiang also raised her eyebrows slightly, and her eyes were still red, blocking her vision so that she couldn't see anyone clearly.
Isn't it Nan Shuke? Who could it be?
Xue Hainiang's heart suddenly swelled up a little...... Disturbed.
The dark willow eyebrows were slightly twisted.
The person who came was still humble and polite, and when he saw Liang Bairou's question, he didn't answer, but avoided the important and said lightly: "Concubine De Niangniang, please ask Niangniang to ask my family of Qinghui Wangfu afterwards for such a trivial matter, don't miss the auspicious time." ”
Liang Bairou snorted coldly, "You people from the Qinghui Mansion also know that the time is wrong, and your Excellency doesn't look at it, it's already past the auspicious time...... she said indignantly for Xue Hainiang: "Although the righteous sister of this palace married into the Qinghui Mansion as a side concubine, she was not sent to the door to let you abuse it." ”
The person who came was not in a hurry, neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "It's really that the prince has something to delay today, so he missed the hour." ”
Liang Bairou said again: "If there is a delay in something, I want to pass it over, okay." Even if His Royal Highness King Qinghui is busy, but now is the time to welcome the bride to the sedan chair, this procedure is indispensable. ”
Liang Bairou's words were sharp and merciless, obviously angry to the extreme,
The person who came did not feel humiliated by Liang Bairou's sentence of 'inferior', but raised his lips and smiled, and the groom's dress in crimson tones added a bit of spring to his face that was not stunning.
"Oh—I heard what Niangniang meant, and I don't want Miss Hai to go back to the palace with me today?" the man still looked smiling. Like a smiling tiger.
Xue Hainiang took the lead in rushing before Liang Bairou and said: "What's the matter, Your Highness is busy, and there are all kinds of opportunities, and it is natural that the wrong time is wrong. ”
Liang Bairou looked at her like a ghost, and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Now, now, she seems to be shirking Nan Shuke.
Throughout the ages, how could a groom miss the time to welcome the bride in the sedan chair, and he himself did not come.
Now this Nan Shuke has hit the two at once.
Even though Xue Hainiang is easy-going and can endure it, Liang Bairou feels worthless for Xue Hainiang.
"Hai Niang, do you know what you're doing?" Liang Bairou reprimanded.
Now that there is Liang Bairou as his backer, everyone in this district dares to be so rude, and when she enters the palace in the future, Xue Hainiang has nothing to rely on, doesn't she want to appoint someone*?
