25. Marriage by decree

Chu Xingli really couldn't figure it out, so he asked Lixia: "Lixia, do you know that person today?" ”

Seeing that she was a little confused, she added: "It's the sunny boy who passed by me." Boy, you know what? ”

Lixia thought for a moment and replied, "I don't know." ”

Chu Xingli listened to it and didn't want to think about it anymore. She believed that if she knew that person, he would come to her.

Before they knew it, time had passed, the end of the month had arrived, and they had their wedding......

Dozens of miles of red makeup. Horse-drawn carriages lined up from the streets to the end of the streets, in an orderly manner, countless roses were spread on the roadside, and even countless red ribbons were tied to the trees all over the city.

Guns, cannons, red lanterns open the way, blowing and blowing all the way along the way, and finally have to pour wine for the elders next to each other when they get home.

"Comb to the ends of your hair; two combs of white hair and eyebrows; Three combs of children and grandchildren are all over the ground; Four combs are always harmonious; Five combs and shun Weng Jiao; Six combs of blessing in the home land; Seven combs are good luck and misfortune avoidance; Eight combs and a million profits; Nine combs and hundreds of flavors; There are no taboos in ten combs!" The prime minister's wife held a comb and chattered while combing, tears flowed from her eyes.

Lixia stood aside, and a row of maidservants stood behind, holding wedding dresses and phoenix crowns......

"Mother, I'm going to get married, and I'll come back. It's not that he won't come back. Chu Xingli comforted.

In order to marry the bride, four double sets of cars were set. Many people were dressed up like the New Year's holiday, Xiao Hanji and He Lingling took all the concubines, princes and ministers to gather in this open-air square.

Xiao Jingchen rode a horse to the Prime Minister's Mansion. It was rumored that the maidservant girl ran to Chu Xingli's room and said, "The prince is here, the prince is here!" ”

After hearing this, they didn't say anything, so the prime minister's wife put a red hijab on her and sent her to the flower bridge.

The carpet of red brocade has already been laid, and the ladies standing on both sides of the carpet are spreading the petals in the sky where the procession passes. The floral scent soaks in the air and creates a captivating fragrance. The continuous red carpet shows an incomparably noble status. In this spring-like, bright and clear day, this red and intoxicating color reflects an unforgettable scene in the eyes of many ladies in the capital. White horses, handsome sons, ten miles of red makeup, the city is celebrated.

Chu Xingli is dressed in a brocade red makeup python dark flower gold silk double-layer silk large-sleeved shirt, the edge is embroidered with a mandarin duck pomegranate pattern, the chest is buckled with a red gold inlaid ruby collar buckle, and the outer cover is a magenta double peacock embroidered cloud gold tassel Xia Wei, the peacock has a tactful and docile state, as if to come to life, the peach satin color embroidered into a double flower and bird pattern waist seal hangs down the cloud crane pin gold and silver twelve pieces of the immortal skirt, the skirt is embroidered with a hundred sons and a hundred blessings, the tail skirt is long and three feet to the ground, the edge is rolled an inch long gold thread, inlaid with five-color rice beads, and there is a sound when walking, In the middle of the hair sideburns is wearing a lotus flower with a joint bead full of pond Jiaojiao distraction, a blooming lotus flower on each side, hanging down the pearl coral tassel and jasper pendant horn twisted into two strands, a pair of red gold mandarin ducks in the center hug left and right, and the pearl jade is the bottom, and the brilliance is dazzling.

Xiao Jingchen was wearing a reddish black-edged gold-embroidered brocade robe, embroidered with an elegant hollow pattern of bamboo leaves, and a man with a gold silk trimmed jade belt at the waist.

Chu Xingli came in a sedan chair, and Xiao Jingchen stood in front of the open-air square waiting for her to get off the sedan chair.

Xiao Hanji and He Lingling sat in front of them, the concubines and princesses sat on one side, and the ministers of civil and military affairs sat below. On both sides of the square stood eunuchs, soldiers, and maidservants.

Their faces were full of joy, but Xiao Jingsa was the only one.

Xi Niang helped Chu Xingli get off the sedan chair, and Lixia followed on the other side, followed by a group of flower-sprinkling maids in order.

Chu Xingli came to Xiao Jingchen, and they looked at each other. Xiao Jingchen walked down the steps, took her hand and walked back.

A father-in-law said, "Worship heaven and earth! ”

Xiao Jingchen took Chu Xingli's hand and turned around ninety degrees to bow to heaven and earth.

"Second worship high hall!"

He took her hand again and turned to bow to his parents ninety degrees.

"Husband and wife worship each other!"

He let go of her hand, and the two turned again, looked at each other, and bowed to each other.

As soon as this worship was over, Xi Niang and Lixia helped Chu Xingli away. Everyone was also immersed in this and began to raise their glasses to the bridegroom today.

At night, Chu Xingli was sent to King Chen's Mansion, and she sat in this wedding room......

The embroidered satin quilt in the wedding room is actually covered with red dates, peanuts, longan, and lotus seeds, which means "early birth of a noble son", and it is actually paved into a circle of hearts.

Chu Xingli sat on the edge of the bed, and Lixia stood beside him, they were all waiting for Xiao Jingchen's arrival.

But a long time has passed, and Xiao Jingchen still doesn't come.

Xiao Jingchen was in the study after he was full of wine and food, Zheng Xu saw it, and said, "Lord, when you are over now, don't you want to go?" ”

Xiao Jingchen thought about it, so he put down his hand and went to the wedding room.

And Chu Xingli, who hadn't eaten for a day, was already hungry now. She lifted her hijab and said, "I want to eat." ”

When Lixia saw it, he hurriedly picked up the red hijab on the ground and said, "Miss, the newlywed bride is not allowed to eat." ”

"Is this going to starve me? Give me something to eat back. ”

"Miss, it's not that you don't give it. The bride does not eat that day in order to look thinner, so that in the evening, it will look better. Lixia explained.

"I don't care, I'm going to eat."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Xingli got up and strode forward.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Xiao Jingchen standing at the door before she could step out with one foot.

Chu Xingli was instantly embarrassed and said, "Your Highness, why are you here?" ”

When Lixia saw Xiao Jingchen coming, he went out through the gap between the two of them and took Zheng Xu away by the way.

"Where is the princess going?"

Chu Xingli was so embarrassed that she kept clutching the door and whispered: "If I wasn't hungry, I wouldn't have come." ”

Xiao Jingchen didn't seem to hear it, and asked again: "Why don't you speak?" Chu Xingli just thought about telling him what she had just said, and her stomach growled.

Xiao Jingchen glanced at her stomach and said, "Hungry? Chu Xingli nodded obediently. Xiao Jingchen asked people to make some pastries and take them to the new house.

Chu Xingli gulped down the pastries on the table and didn't stop for a moment. Xiao Jingchen looked at it and said, "Eat slowly, no one will rob you." ”

"You don't know, I haven't eaten all day today. You say I'm hungry or not. Chu Xingli's mouth was full of pastries and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Xingli's mind felt a little unclear. She hurriedly put down the unfinished pastry in her hand and poured a glass of water to drink.

However, the water did not make her conscious, but more blurred, and she drank it cup after cup.

Xiao Jingchen next to him found that something was wrong, so he asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Chu Xingli looked at him vaguely.
