Chapter 188: The Big Wedding
Zhao Kezhen felt awkward in her heart, and refused to come back for various reasons, but Rong Zhan's temper was that she would never come to pick her up in person, and Zhao Shangshu was also awkward, and her daughter who couldn't marry had been living in her mother's house, right?
Won-hee had already returned to the Wei Mansion that night and was not here. Zhao Kezhen looked at the lights in the mansion and was very red. My heart is getting worse and worse, when this was still Duanwang's Mansion, those bright red lights still belonged to me, and how long has it been, and it belongs to another woman.
"Niangniang, according to the system, your yard will also be hung with red lights, you see?" asked the family member.
Zhao Kezhen stood in the cold wind and wiped her tears: "Hang it, hang it, who cares?"
Six red lamps hung under the eaves, and the fish oil candles inside were all freshly boiled. Zhao Kezhen looked at the patterns of golden osmanthus and Fushou on the lantern, and gritted her teeth. When the old box was opened, it still contained the big red auspicious dress she was wearing for her wedding. Zhao Kezhen sat next to the makeup mirror, drawing her eyebrows and sideburns, she painted herself particularly delicate, and was reflected by the yellow lights, which was slightly weird.
Put on the golden crown, put on the big red auspicious clothes, and sit quietly on the bed.
"Niangniang, you are crazy, this red can only be worn by the concubine, you are arrogant!" The Zhao family changed with the little girl who came to serve her one after another, Zhao Shangshu was afraid that she would make trouble, so he changed her to a polite and well-behaved maid named Yan'er.
Zhao Kezhen stood up suddenly, this is the word she hates the most!
slapped Yan'er in the mouth, and Zhao Kezhen lay on the table and cried.
At the same time, someone in the courtyard came to spread Rong Zhan's words, asking Zhao Kezhen's big red Ji suit and the seal of the concubine to be taken back. Zhao Kezhen refused to come back a few days ago, otherwise this matter should have been done a long time ago.
The chest containing her glory was empty, and her face was gone. Zhao Kezhen sat under the lamp and candle for a night, when she was a child, she often heard her elders describe the bleak and helpless life of the unfavored concubine, but now she understands it.
At night, I heard the people in the palace whispering about the emperor's reward to the crown princess, the east pearl is the size of a lychee, all kinds of jadeite, red, yellow, green, purple varieties are a pair, not to mention gold, silver, porcelain, ivory rhino horn, the whole ten sides of the Bogu shelf. Huanghuali, small leaves, red sandalwood, green sandalwood, agarwood, golden silk nan, wood carving of the stepping bed have been rewarded four or five. There are also those good things that people don't recognize when they see them, in short, there are all kinds of descriptions, all kinds of things.
The emperor was even willing to reward her from the palace, which shows that the emperor loves the new princess from the bottom of his heart.
All the ceremonies for the crown princess were carried out in the palace, and Zhao Kezhen had no qualifications to join in the fun, so she could only watch the people busy in the house. One hundred tables of banquets occupied the large empty space in the front courtyard of the Prince's Mansion, which was enough to seat six or seven hundred courtiers.
Xiao Rongzhan made a bloody investment, as big as the Prime Minister Shangshu, as small as the generals of the Nine Gates Defense Division, all gave wedding cards, except for those generals who garrisoned the capital, the rest attended Rong Zhan's wedding banquet.
The Wei Mansion threw money outside the four bazaars in the capital early in the morning, and the copper was carried over one by one, and the hands of the people who scattered the money were sour, and everyone laughed from ear to ear, and they all squatted on the ground to rob. From the opening of the market until the sun goes down, when the night market opens, the people of Weifu are still scattering.
People all say that this family business is the right one, one is the most powerful person in the world, and the other is the richest person in the world. One is the first weapon of Great Chu, one is the first sect master of Great Chu, one is Langcai, one is a woman, one is the reincarnation of Wenqu Xingjun in the sky, and the other is the Nine Heavens Fairy Falling to the earth.
Yuan Xi also doesn't remember how many thresholds he has taken in the palace, how many kowtows, and how many times he has thanked him. I only felt a sore knee and lower back. Rong Zhan is not much easier than her, the only thing that can be praised is Rong Zhan's lighter hat, compared with Yuan Xi's set of red gold jewelry, it is not much easier.
knocked until his neck was sore, and his feet were filled with lead, and finally completed this set of canonization processes.
The blessings and instructions that the emperor said to them, Yuan Xi couldn't hear them very clearly, but mechanically repeated the set of etiquette that Mama Xi told her to say.
When he returned to the Prince's Mansion, Won-hee felt that he was about to fall apart.
Rong Zhan was still in the front yard with all the ministers to exchange glasses, except for the old courtiers who were sullen, who else didn't want to touch the prince's joy? The toasters almost lined up in a long line, Rong Zhan drank it all at first, and then he could only sip a little in the cup.
Qin Shun supported him behind him, sometimes blocking the wine for him.
Qin Shun was inexplicably happy in his heart, if Ling'er was also here at this time, it would be even more lively. Ling Er is far away in the Donglin Sect Master's Mansion, and I'm afraid that one person will feel very bored. If you hadn't talked to him, you wouldn't even be able to laugh.
Rong Zhan didn't know how much wine he had drunk, but he didn't walk in a straight line, and his feet seemed to be stepping into a pile of cotton, one foot deep and one foot shallow. Usually only half a cup of tea is on the road, but today he walked half a pillar of incense, but the corners of Rong Zhan's mouth have always been raised.
Yuan Xi asked through the hijab A smell of wine, the old mothers in the room had already prepared the wine soup, Qin Shun drank half a bowl with Rong Zhan, Rong Zhan pushed him away with a smile, took the weighing rod in the old mother's hand, and picked up a corner of the hijab.
The shadow of the lamp was reflected on Yuan Xi's cheeks through the red silk hijab, and the red was like a cloud on the horizon. Rong Zhan looked at her and unconsciously became stupid.
The old mother next to her urged with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince, quickly lift the hijab." ”
"How beautiful the crown princess was. The old mother praised it from the bottom of her heart.
Rong Zhan lifted the hijab, and the red silk fell on the bed like a flame. The two sat side by side, and six girls and six boys came in, carrying small bamboo baskets tied with red silk in their hands, and threw peanuts, longan, dates, copper coins and other things on the two newcomers.
"Scattering the tent east, the curtain is deep and the candle shadow is red......"
Rong Zhan looked at her, and pulled the strap on the curtain, and several curtains slipped down layer by layer, and a huge golden silk nanmu stepping bed became the world of the two of them.
He pounced and hugged Yuan Xi under him: "I finally married you." Today, it is less than two years since he made that vow.
Yuan Xi hugged his waist, nervous and overwhelmed, Rong Zhan was next to her, faintly feeling her sturdy little heart fluttering in her chest. Rong Zhan untied her cloud shoulders: "Why are you so nervous." ”
"Who is nervous. Won-hee said this, but his breathing became more and more rapid.
"Today is the happiest day of my life. Rong Zhan whispered softly in her ear.
"No way. Won-hee shook his head.
"What?" Rong Zhan thought she didn't believe it, so he wanted to explain. Yuan Xi gently kissed the corner of his lips: "There will definitely be a happier day, when we will have our own children." ”
He shook all over his body and his nose was a little sour. A tear fell on Yuan Xi's face, and Yuan Xi looked at him warmly: "What's wrong with you?"
"Won-hee, I really don't know what to do to you. ”
"Fool. Won-hee got up slightly, buried his head in his shoulder blades, he took advantage of the situation to put one arm under Won-hee's neck, and the other hand trembled to touch Won-hee's skirt.
The thin bedclothes revealed a moist sandalwood aroma, Rong Zhan coaxed her warmly, and Yuan Xi curled up in Rong Zhan's arms like a cat. I only felt a tingling pain in her body, and her body stiffened, shrinking into the crook of Rong Zhan's arm.
Rong Zhan hugged her, as if he was holding the whole world in his arms.
Tonight, he finally got the whole world.
The temperature on Rong Zhan's body dried Yuan Xi's slightly moist bedclothes. She remembered when she went to the countryside with her father when she was a child, it rained rainingly, and everyone was wet, and they walked for a long time with tired steps. At that time, a kind farmer lent them a hay house to live in, and that day she slept soundly with a pile of dry hay that exuded a strong woody fragrance.
I don't know how long it took, Rong Zhan let her go, leaned her head on his chest, and stroked her sideburns with one hand. Won-hee lay on top of him, like a milk cat. The muscles and bones in his body were about to be crushed by him, and Wonxi lay beside him and gasped, as soft as maltose that had just come out of the pot.
His clothes were open, revealing the scar on his heart, a pale shade of pink, and a white glow around him. Yuan Xi's fingertips gently touched the injury, and Rong Zhan grabbed his hand: "From now on, I will only accompany you alone every night." ”
Yuan Xi laughed, now there are only two women in the prince's mansion, it is easy to do, if he becomes the emperor in the future, there are seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards, will it be impossible for those people to stay alone in the deep palace? How many talented women who are good at writing palace grievance poems must be created?
"I don't believe it. Won-hee pouted.
He sat up: "Why?"
Yuan Xi said disapprerovingly: "In the future, the beauties will be like clouds, and they will be much more beautiful than me, so I am afraid that I will be old and yellow, and I will be thrown into a remote palace by you, and I will be miserable at that time." ”
He frowned: "What are you talking about?"
Yuan Xi pursed his mouth coquettishly, he was taken by surprise, and suddenly kissed him: "Little conscienceless, you use these words to scare me again." He grabbed Yuan Xi's shoulder, and suddenly pushed it, overpowering Yuan Xi: "I told you to scare me." ”
He was intimate for a while, and squeaked around Yuan Xi's waist, Yuan Xi was afraid of itching, and was so amused by him that he was out of breath, and hurriedly grabbed his sleeve: "Stinky Ah Zhan, I'll be angry if you make trouble again." ”
"What should I do if I'm angry?" Rong Zhan asked when he stopped.
"Ignore you when you're angry. Won-hee pouted and turned his head.
He took Won-hee in his arms: "I'm most afraid that you will be angry, because I don't want you to ignore me." I just like you to surround me every day, Ah Zhan is long, Ah Zhan is short, I like you to be skinny to me, and I like to be teased by you. Xi'er, since I met you, I want to suddenly know what life is. ”
Yuan Xi smiled: "Then you can't accompany me alone every day, you are the crown prince, if you let the other concubines stay alone in the empty room, others will still think I am a jealous woman." ”
He hugged Yuan Xi tighter: "I just want to spoil you as a little jealous woman, so that you guard me every day, stare at me, and never take a pair of eyes off me." ”
