In the room, the dragon and phoenix candle is burning, and the heart of the candle is burning until it explodes, bursting with a crackling sound, and the candle flame is swaying.

Xiheng stood outside the happy bed, and didn't step forward, just looked at her and asked, "Is your neck sore?" ”

Luqiu Qingxue was dazed for a moment before she understood what he was asking, and subconsciously replied: "It's okay." ”

"It's okay to mean ......" Xiheng asked with a smile on his lips, "Can you last a long time?" ”

Lu Qiu Qingxue didn't know what he meant at all, and looked at him in a daze.

But she still maintains the dignified elegance she has enjoyed for many years, and she can even do not move at all, even if she raises her head and moves, the phoenix hairpin on the crown of her hair is shaking, and there is almost no shaking.

Xiheng sighed.

Originally, I wanted her to be a little tired, but I thought that no matter how tired she was, she would get used to it, and it wouldn't change anything.

He stopped, took two steps forward in front of her, and raised his hand to remove the phoenix crown from her head.

Although he moved cautiously, he still accidentally pulled a few strands of hair, which made Lu Qiu Qingxue's scalp hurt.

She frowned for only a moment, then returned to her normal and said, "Thank you...... Husband. ”

The first time she called it that, the moment she changed her words, she felt her heart tremble, and her face felt like it had been burned by fire.

Xi Heng lifted the phoenix crown's hand for a slight pause, and looked down at the person in front of him, although she lowered her eyes, she still couldn't find anything wrong with her sitting posture, he still could see her nervousness.

He took off the phoenix crown, walked to the dressing table and put it down, and said: "You will be a member of the Xi family in the future, let's live here, the Luqiu family has the rules of the Luqiu family, and the Xi family has the Xi family's way of life." To live in the Xi family, you don't have to be like you used to be in the Guogong Mansion. ”

"Huh?" Lu Qiu Qingxue let out a puzzled sound, not understanding what he meant by this.

Is it a knock on the bride's door to warn her to obey the rules of the His?

Xi Heng turned around and saw that she was still sitting on the bed, with no intention of moving at all, so he couldn't help frowning and asked, "You've been busy all day, aren't you hungry at this hour?" ”

For a while, Luqiu Qingxue didn't know what she should do.

The maids and daughter-in-law have all gone out, and no one has told her the rules, and no one has told her how to get along with her husband on the wedding night!

Xiheng sighed again and asked, "Are you tired of wearing this dress?" I went to change, washed my face, and came over for dinner. ”

Then he turned around and told the maid to come in and wait.

Looking at his figure walking out, Lu Qiu Qingxue's heart sank.

Her temperament is unpleasant, isn't it?

It's like everyone in the Guogong Mansion is polite to her, no one provokes her or makes her uncomfortable, but in the same way, no one is close to her. Including her parents and brothers, they would look at her with expectation, teach her, encourage her, but ......

She has also seen other people's parents, children, brothers and sisters get along, and found that most of them are not like her.

In the circle of the powerful people in Dijing, those noble ladies admired her, envied her, and even envied her, but they did not have intimate handkerchief sex.

She can do things meticulously and meticulously, and live like a statue on the table, but no one will get close to the statue.

At this time, she couldn't help but think about what Xiheng said: be yourself and be worthy of your heart.

She's really ......

It's as if you've never been yourself!

What she wants, what she likes, what she wants to do, and where she wants to go, all of them are arranged by her family, and they let her do whatever she wants, like a marionette.

If the family does not agree to Xiheng's proposal to marry, but chooses another family, even if she hides this person in her heart, she will not resist.

How can such a person, the great prince of the glorious wind and moon, like it?

He just needed to get married, so he made this marriage happen.

Qiu Xi changed the clothes that her master wore in the house, and seeing that she seemed to be in a daze, she reminded in a low voice: "Miss, it has been changed." Come and wash your face. ”

Luqiu Qingxue came back to her senses and walked over to wash her face.

After washing her face, she stood still again.

I don't know what Xiheng thinks of her, he just got married, he sighed at her twice, how dissatisfied was he with her?

She kind of didn't want to go out and face it.

Qiu Xi saw that she didn't move, and wanted to say something, but she heard Xiheng's voice outside: "After washing, come out to eat, if you are not hungry, I am hungry." ”

Luqiu Qingxue: "......"

She had to bite the bullet and persuade herself in her heart: whether he likes me or not, since he married me, I am his wife. If he inherits the family business in the future, then my duty is to be his virtuous helper and take care of the Xi family. With her background, no matter who she marries, the result is very different, so why think too much?

I hid my thoughts in the past, and I shouldn't put it on the bright side in the future, and I can't have fantasies that I shouldn't have just because I married him.

She held back her crazy thoughts outside the box, tried to curb the thoughts that were not within the rules, made up her mind, and walked out.

When Xiheng is usually alone in the room, he doesn't like to be around.

Seeing her come out, he said to Qiu Xi: "Qiu Xi, right?" There's no need to serve here, you can go out and dine with Liu'an and them. ”

On this day, both the master and the servant, all of them were tired enough.

Qiu Xi glanced at Luqiu Qingxue, Luqiu Qingxue nodded, and she went out.

As soon as Xi Heng turned his head, he saw his new wife sitting on the side, with her waist straight and her hands straight, as if she was not here to eat, but to ......

He also directly said what was in his heart: "Those who know think you're here to eat, and those who don't know think you're here to eat offerings." ”

Luqiu Qingxue was suffocated: "......"

knew that her temperament was unpleasant, but she still felt embarrassed when he pointed it out like this.

On the first day of marriage, she didn't like her husband, and she ...... in the future

But I heard the leisurely man on the side say: "Now that you are a member of the Xi family, you don't have to be so restrained." ”

Lu Qiu Qingxue looked at him puzzled.

Xi Heng's voice was light and gentle: "You are the daughter-in-law of the Xi family, you should support the field, you have to support it." But you and I will be husband and wife from now on, and there is no need to talk about any rules in front of me. ”

Seeing that she was still at a loss, he sighed for the third time tonight, and simply explained it clearly: "I mean, in the future, you will be the mistress of this Jinghe Courtyard, and what you want to do, what you want to eat, and where you want to go are all your own decisions." ”

Luqiu Qingxue finally understood what he meant.

Doesn't that sound like a rule for her?

She usually has this kind of temperament, listening more and talking less.

At this time, facing Xiheng, she was already nervous, and she usually recited poems with a calm and relaxed mind as if she had fed the dog, so she only nodded and responded: "Yes." ”

Xi Heng pinched the chopsticks and prepared to pick up the vegetables, raised his eyes to look at her, and was so helpless that he smiled: "You also have a close relationship with Yang Mei, why haven't you even learned a little bit from her?" ”

What he said was: cheeky.

You don't have to be crazy with an acquaintance like Xi Yang, but as long as Lu Qiu Qingxue learns Xi Yang to be cheeky, it won't be like this!

"I ......" Luqiu Qingxue didn't know what to say.

In fact, she will not be so helpless in the face of others.

It's just that in front of the people she likes, especially the mood that she feels that she is the dust under her feet and is not worthy of the bright moon in the sky, makes her feel a little humble.

Xiheng took the dish, and when he saw that she was holding the chopsticks and not moving, and the rice in the bowl was not moving, he couldn't help but sigh again.

He sighed again, and Luqiu Qingxue was even more at a loss.

She hung her head and said, "I...... I know I'm not likable......"

Before she finished speaking, Xi Heng interrupted her: "Why do you think so?" ”

As she spoke, she put the freshly picked up dish into her bowl.

After thinking about it, he simply changed to a stool and sat next to her.

Originally, Luqiu Qingxue sat down on a round stool separated from him, but now the two of them sat together, which made her heart tense.

Xiheng didn't expect that when he usually watched from a distance, the virtuous princess was outstanding and extraordinary. Get close to each other, she is so ......

So cramped? Prim?

He put down his chopsticks, reached out to hold the hand she was holding the chopsticks, and said with a smile: "You don't need me to teach you how to eat, right?" Do you really think that you are a statue in a shrine, that you can be satisfied with what you can see? ”

The sudden touch and the warmth of the back of his hand made Luqiu Qingxue almost startled.

Hearing his words, she pursed her lips.

Knowing that it was not right to go on like this, she mustered up the courage to say, "I haven't adapted to this change of identity yet." ”

"It doesn't matter." Xi Heng said with understanding: "You are a newcomer, and it is impossible for you to adapt so quickly. I just wanted to tell you not to be so nervous. How you usually do in your mother's house, how well you go to your in-laws' house. This will also be your home in the future. ”

He was able to say this, and Luqiu Qingxue was naturally moved, which also made her more courageous: "I'm not nervous at my mother's house, but ...... And so it goes. ”

Xiheng: "......"

Okay, sure enough, it's the one in the box!

And what he has to do is to take her out of the box, so that she can grow according to her own heart from now on, and not have to be so decent.

He thought about it, it is unrealistic for a person to change his habits for more than ten years. He said these few words that didn't hurt or itch, and they didn't help her at all.

Simply gave up persuasion, he turned to say: "I will go south in the next year, and this time I will definitely not return for several months, and even if there is nothing to do in Beijing, maybe the next time I come back will be this time next year." ”

"Hmm." Luqiu Qingxue already knew that she was very knowledgeable and said: "Don't worry, husband, you are not at home, as your wife, I will be filial to my in-laws and take care of the Xi family." ”

This is the duty of the eldest daughter-in-law.

Xiheng just thinks she doesn't need to know the general situation so much!

Not long after the new door, her husband will go far away, and if he goes, he may not return for a year, and she can still say such things!

It's not like a living person at all, and there is no girl's liveliness at all.

If this matter is changed to Xi Yang and does not mention the knife to cut people, the marriage will be solved directly and a husband who will not go far away!

However, Xiheng has read a lot of poems written by her, and knows that her inner world is by no means what it looks like on the surface.

She actually has a lot of ideas, but she can't do that in reality.

"You talk while you eat." He knew that he couldn't change a person's life habits in a hurry, and after reminding her to eat, he said, "I mean, do you want to go to Feng County with me?" ”

Luqiu Qingxue was stunned, and turned his head to look at him: "I...... Coming with you? ”

Xiheng didn't answer, he thought that his meaning had been made clear, but he explained: "Fengxian's conditions are not as good as those in Jingzhong, although it is said that your husband can afford to support you with fine clothes and food, but it is also a fact that the materials are not as abundant as Jingzhong." If you want, you can go, and if you don't, you can stay in Beijing. ”

Around, she is only sixteen years old this year, she is still young, let her adapt to the life of the Xi family for a few years, occasionally Xi Yang and Qiu Xinxian take two belts, maybe she can be lively?

But Lu Qiu Qingxue didn't think about it, so she replied: "I am willing." ”

Xiheng turned his head to look at her: "You've never been far away, have you?" The long journey is very hard, and the conditions in the place where you go are not good, and after you go, you will definitely have to endure hardships. ”

"I'm not afraid." Lu Qiu Qingxue said a little anxiously: "I also want to see the outside world." ”

Seeing that her wish was obvious, Xiheng didn't say more, but said, "Okay, then make arrangements as soon as possible, and you go with me." If you are not accustomed to the soil and water after you go, and you can't adapt to the environment of Feng County, you will be sent back. ”

Lu Qiu Qingxue said in his heart, "I must be able to adapt", but I felt that it was not good to say it so surely.

I'll talk about it later.

She nodded: "Obey the husband's arrangement." ”

Xiheng said no more.

He also found that the more he persuaded her not to do this, the more nervous she became.

Even so, it can only be imperceptibly.

Thinking about it like this, it is inevitable that I have a grudge against the Xianguo Mansion in my heart: how could a talented girl with excellent talent be raised like this by them!

As the eldest brother, Xi Heng is very good at taking care of people, he doesn't let his subordinates come to serve, but he keeps clearing sleet for Luqiu.

The two sat very close, beyond all the social distance that Luqiu Qingxue had ever had.

However, from the nervousness at the beginning, to the acceptance later, to the naturalness, it seems to be just the time of a meal.

Mainly, Xiheng's words and deeds are very gentle, which gently made her let down her guard.

After finishing the meal, Qiu Xi came in to serve Luqiu Qingxue to wash.

Then, a white handkerchief was laid on the bed.

When Xi Heng came in, he saw it, he was stunned, and then he spoke: "Take it, don't use these things." ”

Qiu Xi was stunned: "Huh? But Mrs. told me a thousand times. ”

Xi Heng said confidently: "This is not the Xianguo Mansion, it is in the Xi family." Although the Xi family is also a scholarly family, there are not so many pedantic rules. ”

If there are more rules, you can't raise a rebellious bastard like Xiyang.

changed the Xianguo Mansion, if the concubine was as presumptuous as Xiyang, I was afraid that she would have been sent to the countryside far away from the imperial capital, so as not to lose face.

Qiu Xi looked at Lu Qiu Qingxue who came over in a daze: "Miss? ”

Before getting married, the aunt in the family mentioned it, of course Luqiu Qingxue knew what the white veil was for, it was something that fell red on the wedding night to show the bride's chastity.

She didn't expect that Xiheng didn't care about this?

Xi Heng waved his hand: "Take that thing away, you go out." There's no need to keep vigil outside when it's so cold, I'll call you if there's something. ”

Qiuxi: "......"

The new aunt is also too good?

Luqiu Qingxue really didn't think that Xiheng was such a person?

But—

Is it really feasible for the wedding night to have a round house and no one to wait outside?
