A Thousand Hills Qingdai Section 98
This is a custom, and the ceremonial officer does not urge, but only looks at it with a smile.
Seeing that his friend was stiff in the women's pile, bound his hands and feet, and his forehead was sweating endlessly, and he was soon dripping with water, and he didn't know whether it was hot or nervous, Cheng Ping hurriedly rushed up with Fan Yiguang and others, and while accompanying the laughter, he protected Pei Xiaoyuan in the middle and forcibly walked forward.
This provoked the eldest princess.
She was already very dissatisfied with Chengping because of her daughter Lu Wenjun's affairs, and at this moment she saw him bumping into him, firstly, to vent her anger, and secondly, she also heard the bell. Liu raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Okay, you dogbeard, find it yourself!" He snatched the mallet from the handmaiden's hand, and the leader struck it at Chengping.
Most of the ladies looked at the eldest princess with the horse's head. I just said that the staff and the horse are just for show, and the purpose is just for fun. At this moment, seeing that she really hit Chengping, a stick knocked on the door of his head, and she didn't take it lightly, so she knew that she was resentful of this Hu'er for provoking the county lord, so she naturally followed suit, so she scattered Pei Xiaoyuan, and instead surrounded Chengping, and more than a dozen mallets were beaten down in unison. For a while, the sound of crackling sticks hitting flesh, the screams of Chengping hugging his head and begging for mercy, mixed with the laughter of the women and the female officials around him, became more and more lively outside the hall.
Fan Yiguang and others hurriedly took this opportunity to leave Chengping, who was suffering, and hugged Pei Xiaoyuan to finally pass this hurdle.
It should be that the residual poison in the body has indeed not dissipated, and Pei Xiaoyuan felt that his injury this time was completely different from before. In the past, it seemed that such an injury was not critical, and it would not have a great impact on him, but this time, the injury throbbed from time to time, and he could clearly feel that after a night, instead of showing signs of improvement, today his hands and feet were weak, and he was sweating profusely.
Fang was surrounded by women, pulling and pulling, listening to them call themselves "jade-faced fairies", and making all kinds of jokes about the cave room that made people blush, Pei Xiaoyuan was already nervous. In the chaos, I don't know who hit the back with a stick, just hit the wound, and at that time he burst out of a cold sweat in pain, and the sound of tinnitus started.
Finally got out at this moment, he didn't care about Cheng Ping behind him, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and stepped up the palace steps.
The celebrant smiled and saluted him, then led him outside the east gate of the main hall and whispered to him to wait.
In the hall, all the attendants and ceremonial officials holding various wedding ceremonies in their hands stood in line on the left and right sides of the main hall. After a while, Taile Ling hit the bell of the yellow bell, and in a burst of echoing Qingyue and solemn bells, Pei Xiaoyuan finally saw her walk out of the back of the palace from a distance under the guidance of the officiant King Ning.
She was dressed in a golden and cyan wide-sleeved placket wedding dress, a long skirt swaying to the ground, a shawl embroidered with gold phoenix treasures and flowers on her arms, a hairpin with a golden cui flower hairpin, and a cloud-shaped gold leaf flower painted on her forehead, which was glamorous and noble, almost incomprehensible.
Pei Xiaoyuan looked at it intently, and for a while, the pain behind his shoulders seemed to fade a lot, and he was slightly engrossed, until King Ning took her to the front and gradually came closer, Fang woke up and quietly lowered his eyes.
At this time the princess sat down and descended. Pei Xiaoyuan followed the steps of welcoming his relatives, raised his arms, and opened the curtain.
The ceremonial official said: "The concubine asks the princess to ascend to the sedan chair." ”
She walked, and the fragrant breeze blew on her face. Pei Xiaoyuan always stood solemnly on the side of the chariot, respectfully lowering his eyes, until he saw the hem of her skirt in the chariot, and then gently lowered the curtain.
A ceremonial official who insisted on the goose that the Pei family had entered in advance walked over. Pei Xiaoyuan received the geese, and then knelt down to King Ning to bow and offer geese to show his loyalty and love to the bride.
King Ning took it left and right with a smile, Pei Xiaoyuan said goodbye, then got up and withdrew, went out of the palace first, rode back to the Horse Mansion, and waited for the arrival of the princess.
At the end of the day, the sky was completely dark, and the Qibao incense car that the princess took after leaving the palace was accompanied by thousands of princes, hundreds of officials and the team of women and horses who were married, and walked through half of the brightly lit Chang'an, and finally came to the Yongning house where the Pei family was located in the chase and onlookers of the city.
Outside the door of the house, the fire rod was lit up, reflecting the straight figure of the horse standing and waiting outside.
For this wedding, tens of thousands of people were dispatched by the guards in Beijing today. Han Kerang personally selected more than 1,000 Jinwu guards, and tonight they took a few steps and lined up with halberds from outside Yongning Fang, until they reached the gate of Pei's house, in order to block the people of Chang'an who came from all directions of the city and wanted to get a glimpse of the princess's appearance.
In a commotion like a wave, the incense cart slowly stopped outside the door of Pei's house.
Pei Xiaoyuan stepped forward quickly and opened the car door for the princess.
When the princess in full costume held a painted jade-handled fan, slightly covering her face, and appeared in front of the door of the carriage that was opened by the horse like a goddess, the light was shining brightly, and even the continuous lights that were burning in front of the door seemed to be dimmed in an instant.
After a brief silence, there was a sudden burst of deafening cheers around. Then, noisy discussions poured into Pei Xiaoyuan's ears from all directions. There are those who praise the princess for her beauty and dignity like heaven and earth, those who envy Pei Yuma's good fortune, and those who lament the princess's legendary experience in the past......
Under the impact of the waves, Pei Xiaoyuan suddenly felt dizzy, and found that the princess's eyes were turning, he suddenly concentrated, stretched out his hand, and helped her down from the incense car steadily.
Inside, in the auditorium, Pei Xiao Yuandong, Princess West, standing. The ceremonial officer entered the knighthood, read the congratulations, and the two bowed to each other. Then they turned into the dormitory, and bowed to each other again as if they were outside. Then take a seat, march to eat, close, and tie the hair. Goodbye again.
In the long and seemingly endless etiquette, Pei Xiaoyuan suppressed his increasingly uncomfortable feeling from the body, always with a clear eye, and performed all the things he should do perfectly, and finally, when it was almost late at night, everyone withdrew, and in this dormitory used as a cave room, only he and his bride, as well as the He family, who had not quit because he was not worried.
Through the red candlelight and the glowing bead curtain, Pei Xiaoyuan glanced at the figure sitting on the edge of the bed in the depths of the dormitory in the curtain, turned to look at the He family who was still parked by the door of the dormitory behind him, and motioned for her to go out too.
He looked at his injured shoulder worriedly, and finally, without saying anything, exited, and gently closed the door.
As the He family also walked out, Pei Xiaoyuan secretly exhaled a long breath, and then, after settling down, he looked at the person in the bead curtain again, hesitated slightly, and no longer hesitated.
He lifted the beaded curtain and walked in, stopping in front of the curtain, at least a dozen paces away from her.
"The princess has worked hard today."
He bent down to the woman opposite him and gave him a deep bow, "It's not too early, princess, rest, I won't disturb." ”
"I'll sleep in the outer pavilion from now on."
He continued.
Su Yu had just cleaned her face under the service of He's candle and several other palace maids who had brought her, and she had also removed the cumbersome hairpins and ceremonial clothes, and was now wearing civilian clothes, her long hair tied into a fallen horse bun, and she was sitting on the new bed that was her dowry.
"Pei Langjun, you have also worked hard."
She glanced at the man in front of her, who couldn't be further away from her, as if she were a flood beast, paused, and answered.
"I'm not hard. If you can satisfy the princess, you can do it. ”
Pei Xiaoyuan lowered his eyes, saluted the opposite side again, then turned around and withdrew from the bead curtain, and walked outside.
"Wait a minute."
Suddenly there was her call behind him.
Pei Xiaoyuan paused, turned his head, and saw her eyes trembling through the bead curtain that was trembling because of the other party's entry and exit, with a little hesitation on her face.
"Pei Langjun, are you unwell today?"
Pei Xiaoyuan's heart jumped, and he subconsciously turned to her, hiding his injured shoulder behind him.
"Why did the princess say that?" He complied.
Su Yu got up from the fragrant wood bed and walked towards him, but did not pass through the curtain, but only stopped behind the curtain.
"I don't think you look good. And also...... At night, in front of the gate, when you helped me out of the car, I felt your fingers cold. Through the beaded curtain, Su Yu's gaze fell on his slightly pale blood lips.
"If you feel unwell, I'll call the Imperial Doctor for you to take a look."
Pei Xiaoyuan met her gaze and smiled slightly: "The princess is too careful." Early yesterday morning, they were trapped in the restaurant by Chengping and forcibly poured alcohol, and drank a lot. I didn't sleep well last night, so I don't seem to be in good spirits today. ”
"I'm fine. Thank you princess for your concern. He said in a smooth voice.
Su Yu always felt that he didn't look like the usual feeling for her. However, it may also be as he explained it himself, just caused by a hangover. Plus there is no good rest. And, maybe it has something to do with his mood.
After all, it was she who calculated him, and almost forced him to be a colt reluctantly. He didn't want to have any more dealings with her in his heart, and she naturally understood this.
"It's fine." Su Yu bowed, "You can also rest." ”
"Yes. Rest in peace, princess! ”
Pei Xiaoyuan watched her slowly walk back to the bed, and after sitting down again, he also took a few steps back, and then continued to go outside, when she passed through the eight sandalwood screens separating the inside and outside, she knew that she couldn't see this anymore, and her body that had been strained all night suddenly relaxed, and before the person turned the screen, a sense of vanity hit again.
He paused, silently held the heavy screen beside him with his right hand, closed his eyes slightly, and stopped for a moment by relying on the screen. After the feeling of lightness faded again, he went straight to a narrow couch spread out in the outer pavilion, sat down, and slowly lay down on his side in his kimono, and finally lay down.
The light of the red candle inside could not be illuminated here, and the light was dim through the screen.
He closed his eyes tightly in the dim light, motionless, listening to the sound coming from the depths of the chamber.
At first there was a rustling sound of undressing, and then the golden hook struck with two crisp and pleasant sounds. She should have put down the brocade tent. After the faint, almost uncatchable sound of the quilt spreading, she rolled over a few more times.
After a long time, it was the second half of the night, and in the depths of the sleeping pavilion, there was no sound at all, so quiet that Pei Xiaoyuan could hear the soft snapping sound of the red candle bursting out of the lights.
She was already asleep.
He finally opened his eyes, sat up silently from the narrow couch, left arm down, and undressed with his right hand.
When he was stopped by the women in the palace and hit him on the back, he knew that the wound was beginning to bleed.
The only good thing is that tonight's official uniform is scarlet, and even if there is blood oozing out, it will not be discovered.
The injured shoulder and back on his left side were due to too much activity tonight, and even if he moved lightly at the moment, he felt throbbing. With a slight difficulty in one hand, he unfastened his belt, gently set it aside, and then took off his official uniform and then took off his single clothes. Most of the back of the white single coat was already soaked with blood. He struggled to undress himself, and finally found that the fabric he was wearing had been stuck to the slowly drying flesh at the edge of the wound because of the long delay.
He couldn't see it himself, he couldn't peel it off, and he didn't want to worry more about He's family, and when he pulled it, the person trembled slightly, and finally forcibly ripped off his middle coat.
A stream of insect-like heat bubbled down the shoulder and back below the wound.
He knew that it should be Fang Congdenci's wound, and it was torn again. He took off his middle coat and wiped his back indiscriminately, pressed the blood, and then took out a bottle of hemostatic medicine powder that he had prepared in advance, and he fell on the wound indiscriminately by feeling, planning to spend the night first, and then ask He Jin to deal with it tomorrow morning, suddenly at this time, he heard the sound of gentle footsteps coming from inside, and then, out of the corner of his eye, he glimpsed a slender figure holding a candlestick, and was about to turn from behind the screen.
He was taken aback, and reacted very quickly, and immediately rolled up the medicine bottle and the bloody coat and stuffed it indiscriminately under the narrow couch.
Su Yu actually didn't fall asleep all the time, and then she was just afraid of affecting the person who slept in the same room with her, so she didn't dare to turn over. Fang Cai heard some slight changes in the outer pavilion, listened for a while, found that it was endless, squirming, thinking of his abnormality tonight, I really couldn't help it, so I quietly turned out with a candle, but unexpectedly, I saw him bare-chested facing himself, sitting on a narrow couch.
Su Yu didn't expect such a scene, she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, she turned her face hurriedly, and was about to go back to explain, saying that she didn't mean to disturb him, when suddenly, she stopped, and her eyes fell on Pei Xiaoyuan's feet.
Pei Xiaoyuan knew that something was wrong, glanced down, and was about to lean over to pick up the clothes that were not hidden, but she had already walked over and bent down to get them. After arguing for a while, how could he win her, she snatched it from her hand, and shone it through the candlestick.
"What's going on? Where does the blood come from? Su Yu was shocked by the blood-stained white shirt that he had taken off from his body, and suddenly opened his eyes wide and raised his face to look at him.
Pei Xiaoyuan's right hand had quickly pulled over the official clothes that he had taken off and put aside, draped them on his shoulders, and then while putting on his clothes, he smiled casually: "It's okay, disturb the princess's rest." I'll go out first. ”
He turned and walked out of the house.
"Stop!"
Suyu stared at his back.
"Take off your clothes!"
Pei Xiaoyuan hesitated, finally turned his head and explained: "There was an accident yesterday, and I was slightly injured. However, the princess didn't need to worry, it was just a little flesh wound, and it was not a big problem. You go to sleep, I'll ask He Jin to help me deal with it. ”
After he finished explaining, he continued to cover his clothes, and walked out again, only a few steps, when suddenly another feeling of dizziness hit, and he couldn't help stopping, and the person shook with it, as if he was shaking.
Su Yu threw away the bloody clothes and candlesticks, hugged his waist from behind, and shouted: "What's wrong with you, Pei Er!" ”
"Don't dare to have Princess Lao......"
Pei Xiaoyuan raised his right arm, and his palm lightly rested on her wrist that was wrapped around his waist and abdomen, as if he wanted to untie her hands.
"Let go, princess! I...... It's really fine......"
He spoke in a low voice.
However, before he could finish speaking, he saw his body slowly fall down.
Chapter 96
With his size and the heavy body that was pouring down at the moment, how could Su Yu support it alone, he was taken away on the spot, and fell to the ground with him behind him. Soon he woke up, leaned over his back and looked forward, and saw that his forehead was lowered to the ground, his face and neck were pressed against the crook of his shoulder, his eyes were closed, and his long eyelashes were hanging down, motionless.
"Pei Er! Pei Er! ”
She screamed a few more times behind him, but there was no response. One arm was pressed by him and he couldn't move, so he reached out with his other hand and touched his forehead, and the tentacles were hot.
In Su Yu's impression, this Langjun of the Pei family has always been a brave man who cherishes words like gold but is as stoic as a stone. She had no idea that he would faint so much on this wedding night with her.
She couldn't get hold of him alone, so she hurriedly pulled her arm from under him, got up, and went to call someone.
How can He leave with peace of mind tonight, he has been guarding under the corridor outside the dormitory, and he has faintly heard some strange noises coming from the door, and is walking over, just when the princess opens the door, I heard her say that Lang Jun has fallen, let a few more people come, and Yang Zaien, who is busy with the night watch nearby, and several other healthy women called in, under the command of Su Yu, everyone was full of hands and feet, and finally carried the groom to the bed and temporarily settled. Without waiting for Su Yu to speak, He Shi told his knowledge again.
“…… He wouldn't tell me how he was hurt, but he didn't allow me to tell the princess, for fear of delaying the wedding and worrying her. Qingtou was with him yesterday, or he knew something, but I asked him, and this little guy didn't even say anything! ”
"Imperial Physician Hu's mansion is in this workshop, he is very good at seeing injuries, I remember that he was on duty in the palace a few days ago, and he should be at home tonight. The slave is going to call him! Yang Jae-en said, hurrying out.
After a while, the imperial doctor arrived with a medicine box. He Jin was also called by the He family and brought yesterday's arrow cluster. The imperial physician carefully identified it, and the statement was similar to He Jin. He also took the pulse, looked at the eyes, and examined the wound again, and said: "The horse's pulse is tired and weak, the blood and qi in the body are congealed, and the viscera is stagnant, which is indeed the appearance of external poison invading the body." ”
