Chapter 666: The Tenth Day of February
On the tenth day of the second month, today is an important day for the Burning Sun Empire, because today the young princess of the Burning Sun Empire, Chu Qianxue, is about to get engaged to the young prince of the Red Moon Empire, Jia Tianying, this is a moment of celebration for the whole country, and it is the focus of the eyes of the whole continent.
Early this morning, the professional make-up mama has already made Qianxue beautiful.
She was wearing a red golden phoenix wedding dress, the lower garment was a white velvet embroidered three-warp noose skirt, her hair was coiled into a cluster of flowers, the hairpin used was the jade phoenix hairpin that Dowling had given her in the Emerald City, the ears were filled with silk mutton fat jade earrings, the white hand was wearing a silk white jade crown nail buckle, the waist was tied with a pink orange bow long spike five-color waist seal, and the purse embroidered with the pattern of the birthday star Weng holding the sika deer was lightly hung, and a pair of gold silk thread embroidered sheepskin boots looked small and exquisite.
Beauty is the only word that can describe Qianxue today, and the other descriptions are completely redundant.
She kept her eyes on the bronze mirror, looking at her so wonderful appearance, she was not happy, and even her eyes were slightly red.
"Young princess, you smile, it's not beautiful." Touch-up Mama said softly.
Qianxue was still expressionless, how could she smile, this engagement was not of her own volition, and she didn't even know what the other party looked like, and most importantly, she made herself feel disgusted by wearing this wedding dress, which made her feel sorry for Dowling.
Seeing that Qianxue was still expressionless, the make-up mama didn't dare to say more, and after finishing the make-up they were doing, they withdrew.
The Duchess, who was sitting on the side, walked over slowly, and she gently hugged Qianxue from behind.
"Mother—" Qianxue couldn't hold back any longer, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Good daughter, let's stop crying, it won't look good if we cry." The Duchess's eyes were also red.
Qianxue sobbed under her breath, her hands clasped together.
"I want to play the piano," Chiyuki said softly.
The Duchess nodded, she let go of Qianxue, and then led Qianxue to the guqin on the side.
Qianxue lifted Luo Luo's skirt and sat on the stool, a pair of white onion jade hands gently brushing the strings.
I don't know if it's because of her mood or the atmosphere, her piano sound today is particularly bleak, and people can't help but stop after hearing it, recalling the regret in their hearts.
The Duchess stood quietly opposite Qianxue, looking at Qianxue's unstoppable tears, and her heart was also a pang of pain, this is her own daughter, her daughter who was finally lost.
Unconsciously, Qianxue used internal force, and the internal force drifted out through the sound of the piano along with her mood.
The sound of the piano came out of the room and spread throughout the Duke's Palace, and the people who were busy unconsciously stopped what they were doing, and they were unconsciously fascinated by it.
The moment Chu Xiyan heard the sound of the piano, he only felt a sense of desolation filling his heart, Chu Xiyun, who was once the best cousin, and Chu Wan'er, the best cousin, neither of them could be saved, sometimes he hated himself, hated that he was not as brave as Chu Xiyun, and dared to confront his father and grandfather for Wan'er.
The cousin and cousin didn't keep it, and now even their own daughter has to be given away?
Absolutely not!
Chu Xiyan slapped the table and shouted, "Someone!"
….
The Fire Lion and the Misty pushed the door open at the same time and walked in.
"Lord Duke, please command!" Both of them saluted at the same time.
"Are you two afraid of death?" Chu Xiyan asked.
Fire Lion and Dianwu raised their heads, they saw Chu Xiyan with red eyes, and instantly knew what the Duke wanted to do.
"I, the Fire Lion, would like to go to the soup for the Duke!"
"I'm willing to break my bones for the Duke!"
Chu Xiyan nodded, he slowly stood up and said: "Once, I had regrets in my heart, I was cowardly at that time, I was cowardly, I was timid, I didn't dare to face my father and the emperor, I couldn't protect the people I wanted to protect, but today, I can't watch my daughter be bullied again, she was in exile in her early years, I didn't fulfill my father's obligations, and now I finally came back, I, as a father, must not let my daughter be bullied again, what is the sin."
I, the father, will carry it!!
"Lord Duke! Give the order!" The Fire Lion and the Mist knelt down on one knee at the same time.
"Whoever wants to be a victim of a marriage will go, and my daughter must not be a victim anyway! The two of you muster your trustworthy men, not too many! Be fine! Your task is to make a noise at a critical moment and disrupt the ceremony as much as possible!" Chu Xiyan slapped the table and shouted.
"Subordinates obey!" The Fire Lion and the Dian Mist shouted in unison.
Chu Xiyan walked up to the two of them, personally helped them both up, he reached out and patted them on the shoulder, and said meaningfully, "Go and prepare!"
The fire lion and the mist led the order to leave, and Chu Xi slowly walked to the door, listening to the desolate sound of the piano, he grabbed the pillar on the side fiercely, and the feeling of heartache made him directly scratch five deep fingerprints on the pillar.
"The auspicious time has come!" A shout sounded, and a jubilant suona sounded.
The maids also entered the room and waited quietly for Chiyuki.
Chiyuki stopped stroking the violin, pressed the trembling strings with her hands, and slowly stood up.
"Let's go—" Qianxue said slowly after taking a deep breath, and by this time she had regained her composure.
Surrounded by a group of maids, Chiyuki left the room, and behind her, the Duchess could no longer hold back her tears.
Outside the door, a big red sedan chair was already waiting there.
"Please get on the sedan chair!" The mother shouted.
The sedan chair was pressed, the sedan chair man lifted the curtain, and Qianxue lowered her head and walked into the sedan chair.
She needed to take a sedan chair to the central square in the city, which had been set up half a month ago for today's ceremony.
"Get up!" With a shout, eight sedan chair drivers lifted the sedan chair and then walked out.
Chu Xiyan came to the Duchess's side and reached out to take the Duchess into her arms.
"Is it ready?" The Duchess asked, hiding her face.
"Don't worry, I won't let my daughter get engaged like this." Chu Xiyan said.
"That's good—" said the Duchess, wiping away her tears.
"Let's go! We've got to go with that!" Chu Xi took the Duchess and followed the sedan chair outside.
When the procession left the Duke's Palace, the streets were already full of people, all with red flowers in their hands and words of blessing in their mouths.
Qianxue lifted the curtain on the side of the sedan chair slightly, looking at the blessed people, she sighed, if she was engaged to Dowling today, then she would be the happiest woman in the world, but the reality was always unsatisfactory.
On the other side, the wedding team of the Akatsuki Empire also set off, and Jia Tianying was dressed in a bright red wedding dress with a big red flower on his chest.
Today he can be described as high-spirited, before he transformed into a bird to secretly observe Qianxue, I have to say, Qianxue's appearance is completely in line with his aesthetic standards.
"Great beauty, after today, you will be my person!"
