Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

finally arrived on the day of Liu Qinghan and Pei Yuanzhen's wedding.

The carriage bumped all the way, and when I finally arrived at the dock, the sky had darkened slightly, and the river breeze blew in with a bloody air, and when Pei Yuanxiu got out of the carriage with half help and half hugging, my clothes were immediately blown up.

I reached out and gently smoothed the corner of my clothes, and when I turned back, the words also got out of the carriage.

She didn't climb up and down, jump up and down by herself as she did in the past, but quietly let Pei Yuanxiu carry her out of the carriage, and after standing still, she even bent down and carefully smoothed the corners of her skirt, and then reached out again and gently stroked her hair.

Today, she is exceptionally quiet and beautiful.

She was given a set of her favorite goose-yellow dress, the pink color made her face fairer and more pink, her hair was carefully combed into two buns, tied with two goose-yellow ribbons of the same color as her clothes, hanging down on her cheeks, gently fluttering with the wind, from time to time gently brushing the corners of her mouth; Even her wrist was tied with a wrist flower tied with a ribbon, which made her look well-behaved and pleasing, like a pink lotus flower that had just bloomed, standing there.

Except for the somewhat blank expression on her face, and slightly red and swollen eyes.

I don't know how long she cried or how many times she cried, although after that day, she listened to my persuasion and accepted the fact, but when I went to her room the next day, I could see her eyes that were even more red and swollen than the day before.

Even today, several maids have put a lot of effort into reducing her swelling, and although her pink eyelids can still tell that she has cried, she finally does not show the appearance of a wolf bèi.

My daughter, even if she loses, she should lose beautifully.

Thinking of this, I walked up to her and gently stroked her cheek, she raised her head to look at me, and spoke in a thick nasal voice: "Mother, am I looking good today?" ”

"Good looking. Mother's witty words are beautiful. ”

She pursed her lips and smiled, but as soon as she smiled, her eyes immediately turned red, and she hurriedly lowered her head.

At this time, Pei Yuanxiu also walked to our side, looked at Miaoyan, glanced at me again, and then said, "It's almost time." ”

I nodded, and then patted Miaoyan's shoulder: "Miaoyan, come and hold my mother's hand." ”

After speaking, I heard the sound of wheels behind me, looked back, and on the other carriage, Han Zitong also walked down.

Today, she is also dressed up, wearing a long and colored dress, full of pearls, which looks extraordinarily quiet and beautiful; The workmanship of the dress is also very fine, and the embroidery of fine and dense flowers can be seen on the belt and cuffs, and the whole look is as bright as a red glow, which is very stunning, but it is slightly staggered from her indifferent expression and cold eyes.

In contrast, I was wearing only a pale snow-blue dress, with long hair tied up in a cloud style, an ordinary hosta, and a magnolia-shaped pendant around my waist, which seemed a little too simple.

When I got up in the morning, Pei Yuanxiu also persuaded me to dress up, but I only smiled and said, "Today is a good day for others, and I can't compete for beauty", so I refused lightly, and he didn't say anything, now looking at me standing beside me, a strand of broken hair in my ear was blown by the wind, and I reached out and carefully helped me to reach behind my ear.

I smiled softly at him.

At this time, Han Zitong, who came forward, only glanced at us coldly, and I also looked at her, neither of them spoke, but Pei Yuanxiu glanced back and said, "The boat is ready, let's go." ”

"Okay."

The four of us turned around and walked towards the dock.

And behind us, we were immediately followed by a group of guards, each of whom was dressed in brocade clothes, dressed differently from usual, and dressed up to go to the banquet, but all of them were full of anger, which was a little incommensurate with today's happy event.

I glanced at them and subconsciously said "huh".

Pei Yuanxiu looked down at me: "What's wrong?" ”

"No Ping'er?"

"Well, he wasn't sent today."

"Why?"

"He's not qualified."

As soon as I heard this, I immediately remembered what happened on the streets of Yangzhou that day, and said, "Is it because I was injured that day and came back?" However, he was too worried about me that he would be reckless. ”

Pei Yuanxiu glanced at me.

"Yuan Xiu, you-you're not going to punish him, are you?"

"I didn't."

"That's—"

"He just wasn't qualified, and I didn't send him along." Pei Yuanxiu said, stretched out his hand and stroked my shoulder, and said softly: "Today's trip is not trivial, and there can be no more mistakes like before, so everyone who follows us must be carefully selected, do you understand?" ”

When he said this, I was relieved, and I looked at the guards again, and then turned and walked with them.

When twilight fell, the river began to fog up, and a boat that was not too big was parked there, and after we got on the boat, the boatman held on to the penny, and the boat slowly left the dock. I sat on the boat, and I also saw that around us, several large boats slowly sailed out of the mist, following our boat, swaying towards the center of the river.

After driving for a while, gradually, the current became turbulent, and the hull of the ship was constantly undulating and jolting.

I sat on the seat and shook for a while, hurriedly reached out to hold the armrest of the chair, subconsciously turned my head to look out of the window, only to see that the river breeze was cold, blowing the curtains up, hunting, and also blowing some fog with a fishy smell into the cabin, I reached out and opened the curtain, and at a glance I saw the river outside, which was bright red.

The wonderful words beside him subconsciously took a breath of cold air.

Pei Yuanxiu and Han Zitong also seemed to feel something, turned their heads to look outside, and when they saw the scene on the river outside, Pei Yuanxiu didn't speak calmly, but Han Zitong sneered: "What a big show!" ”

……

For a moment, the cabin was silent, and no one answered.

Because, it is indeed a big pomp.

As far as the eye can see, from us to the center of the river, it is already completely full of boats, and you can't even see the river a little farther away, those huge boats are neatly arranged on the river, and they are lying down with the river, like a row of mountains that stretch for miles. And the ships were not the same as they were usually seen, for the towering masts, the thick ropes, and even the neat guardrails on the decks, were all wrapped in bright red satin, and flew in the wind, as if one flame after another were burning on the ship; The silk fluttered and was reflected in the water, and even the river was dyed crimson.

In this way, the entire Yangtze River became red!

And directly in front of us, among those fiery red ships, there was an extraordinarily tall ship, more than dozens of feet long, the hull was as high as a few floors, and on the ship stood a tall building with complex shapes, the roof was multicolored glazed tiles, exuding misty but brilliant colors in the mist, the eaves and pillars were painted bright red, and the big red lanterns under the eaves had been lit, swaying lightly in the wind, and the red light illuminated the eaves, the pillars, and the whole hull was wrapped with big red satin.

As soon as I saw the ship, I couldn't help but hold my breath.

That ship......

It's a happy boat.

It was prepared by Pei Yuanhao for the eldest princess of Anguo.

That is, the wedding site of Liu Qinghan and Pei Yuanzhen.

When I saw this place written on the wedding card, I was so surprised, I couldn't imagine that Pei Yuanhao would actually put their wedding on a boat, but now, looking at this ship, the tall and majestic momentum, even if it is a ship, it completely lives up to the grandeur of this world-renowned wedding.

However, I understand the significance of Pei Yuanhao's move better.

Because of this wedding banquet, the guests he will invite are not ordinary, not only civil and military officials, but also nobles from the heavenly family, and even people like Pei Yuanxiu, who are completely hostile to him and almost incompatible with the forces. It stands to reason that Pei Yuanzhen's wedding should be held in the imperial city, even if the husband is married and the wedding is held in Yangzhou, it should be in the state capital of Yangzhou, but if this is the case, to invite these guests to Yangzhou Mansion is equivalent to a sheep into the mouth of a tiger, even if the tiger is not harmful, no one will believe this.

Therefore, this wedding is neither in the imperial city nor in Yangzhou.

Instead, it was chosen on the Yangtze River.

A gigantic ship.

All the guests who come can come by their own boats, and all the boats stay around this big ship, above the Yangtze River, which does not belong to anyone's territory, the weather and environment are ever-changing, no one can completely dominate in such a place, and Pei Yuanxiu's water military camp standing on the south bank of the river is also enough to deter the sailors of the imperial court, enough to protect him.

Pei Yuanhao chose the location of the wedding here, and he was also telling everyone that this was just a wedding, and he would not do anything at this wedding for anyone.

This ship, as the location of this wedding banquet, is indeed the best and most appropriate location in the world.

Entering the waters lined up by these fleets, our boat also slowed down, and we could see the huge red ship more clearly, and then the surrounding big ships all lowered their small boats, and kept approaching the big ship, boarding the big ship, and in the distance, we could already see the deck brightly lit, and the guests were like clouds.

Gradually, our ship approached.

When we docked the sampan put down by the red boat, the hull shook slightly, and we all walked on the deck, in the cold river breeze, the ship's guards escorted us to the sampan, only to see that the red ship opened a door on the hull, and there were also the vermilion lacquer of those big families that we saw on weekdays towards the size of the door, and when we walked in, it was a long and oblique ladder that led straight to the deck of the ship.

Pei Yuanxiu took me, Miaoyan and Han Zitong, and the four of us walked up together.

When we stepped onto the deck, we felt a flash of red in front of us.
