Chapter 6: Congratulatory Gifts

did not show up when worshipping the church, and only a few disobedient maids were arranged in the backyard to wait, these details were enough for An Yueli to notice the contemptuous attitude of Prince Xiao towards her.

Whether it is to save her life for now or for long-term development, she must ease the relationship between the two as soon as possible, at least not let Prince Xiao lose face because of herself.

Returning to the wedding hall from the inner courtyard, the sound of staggering and bustling continued, and the guests held wine glasses and said auspicious words one after another.

An Yueli squinted her eyes and searched carefully, first finding the back of Jiang Chen, the leader of the guards, and then noticing that he was holding a wheelchair in his hand.

A young man, also dressed in a red wedding dress, sat in a wheelchair, with three thousand black silk tied high above his head with a golden crown, and was receiving congratulations from the crowd at an angle with his back to her.

This person is An Yueli's husband, a man known for his outstanding military exploits and tyranny - Su Huaixiao.

An Yueli took a deep breath and was about to step forward, but saw someone take the lead.

Yin Huaizhi walked out of the crowd with a folding fan in his hand, and bowed slightly to the man in the wheelchair with a smile.

"Today is the big day of Prince Xiao, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no time to take a break because of the busy drought in Quzhou, so he specially ordered to send a congratulatory gift to congratulate Prince Xiao on his new marriage."

He clapped his palms, and immediately two strong servants carried up something taller than a man. This object is covered with a red cloth, which is particularly mysterious.

"Please Xiao Wang smiled."

Yin Huaizhi said and made a gesture of please, but Su Huaixiao sat in a wheelchair and did not move, let alone stepped forward to remove the red cloth, but he didn't even have the intention of moving his body.

"Ah, it's in the next owe to think about it. Xiao Wang Ye is incapacitated, so let him do it for him. ”

After saying this, Yin Huaizhi didn't have to agree with Su Huaixiao, picked up the red cloth with one end of the folding fan and gently pulled it, and then the golden armor was displayed in the eyes of everyone.

"This! It's ......"

"Golden Armor!"

"In the past, I only heard of people making armor out of gold, but I didn't expect to be lucky enough to see it today, it's really luxurious."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Xiao have a deep brotherly relationship, they really have a heart!"

Taking advantage of everyone's compliments, Yin Huaizhi continued.

"Prince Xiao had great military exploits back then, and it can be said that he was famous all over the world, which made the generals of the enemy country fearful.

In his private opinion, only the rumored golden armor representing the god of war could be worthy of the name of Xiao Wangye, so he specially ordered someone to tailor this armor for the prince. ”

Speaking of which, many people have quietly glanced at Su Huaixiao with their spare eyes.

Rao was in the scorching heat of midsummer, and he still had a thin blanket on his lap. I don't know if it's because of his leg injury and fear of cold, or if he's afraid that outsiders will notice his cripple.

Bearing everyone's scrutiny intentionally or unintentionally, Su Huaixiao's expression was indifferent, but Jiang Chen behind him clenched his fists violently, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out.

An Yueli stood in the dark and saw this scene, and a memory came to her mind.

Su Huaixiao's father, Prince Rong, is the younger brother of the current emperor, and he was once the most likely person to inherit the unification. But he accidentally fell from his horse and died, which made the first emperor very sad.

When the current saint succeeded to the throne, he promised the first emperor to leave the crown prince to Prince Rong's only son, Su Huaixiao.

However, three years ago, Su Huaixiao injured his leg when facing the invading Turks and missed the position of prince, which made the current prince pick up the leak.

Since then, the crown prince has been particularly jealous of this cousin, who once almost became a prince. Like today's act of sending armor, most of them are also deliberate.

"Lord Xiao."

Without waiting for Jiang Chen to attack, An Yurou stepped forward with her servants. I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, her position was side by side with Yin Huaizhi.

An Yurou smiled and saluted, and she had regained the dignified and feminine posture of everyone's ladies, as if she was not the one who was pointed at with a sword before.

"The little girl visited Prince Xiao on behalf of the Anguo Mansion and presented a congratulatory gift to the prince."

A glass statue of Goddess of Mercy with a thousand hands was lifted up, shining brightly under the scorching sun, which was very eye-catching. It's just that the statue of Guanyin is sent on the big day, but it is a little puzzling.

Xu guessed everyone's doubts, and An Yurou explained with a smile: "This time, my sister is fortunate to be able to marry into the Xiaowang Mansion, all by her own festive eight characters.

If a marriage can really restore the prince's body, it can be regarded as the creation of my sister. It's just that my sister has always been a cold and withdrawn character, and she disdains to do things that serve people, for fear of upsetting the prince.

The little girl has the courage to beg the prince to be more tolerant of her sister and train slowly. ”

After that, she personally sent the statue of Guanyin with a thousand hands to Su Huaixiao.

"It is said that Guanyin Bodhisattva is merciful and compassionate, and responds to requests. The little girl borrowed this Guanyin statue to congratulate Prince Xiao and her sister on their 100-year good union, eternal marriage, good health, and early birth of a noble son. ”

An Yurou's sentences seemed to be congratulating Su Huaixiao, but they slandered An Yueli openly and secretly.

The surrounding guests saw through it and didn't say anything, and the compliments continued, but they didn't know how sincere they were.

"My sister is so eloquent, but have you figured out how to explain the origin of the purse just now?"

The clear voice sounded, like a basin of cold water poured down, abruptly tearing through this hypocritical liveliness.

An Yurou turned her head suddenly, and An Yueli's figure was reflected in her pupils.

"It's you! What are you doing here? ”

The guests around her didn't seem to expect her to go and return, and at the same time, they were surprised and shocked by the bearing around her, and consciously branched out a path.

An Yueli paced forward, and because Jiang Chen was blocking the road, she stopped half a foot away from the wheelchair.

"Say hello to the prince, the concubine is worried that the prince is working hard to entertain the guests, so she came to see if there is anything that can help. Unexpectedly, I heard someone chewing the root of his tongue. ”

An Yurou was glanced at by her coldly, and shivered unconsciously. But she quickly calmed down and asked innocently.

"What do you mean by that, sister? Isn't it wrong for me to congratulate you and Prince Xiao on their new wedding? ”

An Yueli didn't pay attention, and her slender fingers gently swept over the lotus base of the Guanyin statue.

"There was once a high monk Dao Renyun: wood carving clay sculpture and color painting, painted with green and gold. If you say that this is a bodhisattva, laugh at the South China Sea Guanyin.

The jewels of this Buddha statue given by my sister are somewhat detrimental to the solemnity of the treasure.

But it doesn't matter, as you said, Guanyin Bodhisattva's great compassion will not be counted. In the future, I will often burn incense and pray, and may those who have seen and heard it develop bodhicitta and not have a face like Guanyin and a heart like a snake and scorpion. ”

"You! Who do you say is like a femme fatale!? ”

"I'm just saying it casually, why is my sister still stressed."

"Should it be what?"

An Yurou couldn't fight on her lips, and she was so anxious that the corners of her forehead sweated.

Yin Huaizhi on the side frowned when he saw this, and looked at An Yueli with extremely disapproving and even contemptuous eyes.

"Yueli, Sister Yurou just wants to bless you and Prince Xiao, even if the words are a little inappropriate, you won't squeeze her like this. After all, he is the one who married into the Xiao Wangfu, and he should know the proportions. ”

"Since Gongzi Yin knows that I have married into the Xiao Palace, he should call me a princess, instead of calling me a lady. Moreover, the purpose of giving gifts is to make people happy, not to add to people's trouble. An Yue's glass eye knife flew around, stabbing the other party's breath stagnation, "Yin Gongzi knew that my prince was unwell, but he also sent a set of golden armor, isn't he deliberately provoking?" ”
