"'Eldest sister, I almost forgot, today you are the officiant, hurry up and change your clothes with me, otherwise it will be too late!' With the exclamation of burning clothes behind him, Yuhua and I walked out of the main gate of the palace.

The welcoming procession waiting outside the door stretched for half a mile in front of the palace.

"The first team of guards with swords and swords, followed by a tall horse with a big red silk flower around its neck, and then it was to hold the flag, gong, umbrella, fan, and blow people. In the middle of the team, the front and rear two teams of colorful attendants escorted the newlyweds, the wedding car was wrapped in red satin, embedded with jewels and gold ornaments, and the green-maned horses in front of the car were also decorated with auspicious things, and the whole body was decorated, like a unicorn beast. After the wedding car, there was a long line of dowry items, some car, some carried the bar, and some held it in people's hands. Finally, there was another team of sabber guards.

"I helped Yuhua to get into the wedding car, and was led to the front and rode a tall horse.

Joy sounded, and the welcoming procession slowly marched in the direction of Xiyuan. On both sides of the road, watching the lively drought, the people rubbed shoulders one after another, hugged each other in front and back, and the laughter and laughter shook the sky.

The team marched to the gate of the West Garden, where there was already a lot of people.

Then the horse came and dismounted, and went straight to the garden.

I also got off the horse, got out of the car in front of the wedding car, stepped on the red carpet, and walked step by step to the main hall of the palace in the courtyard, where the wedding ceremony will be held.

"On the main hall of the palace, the wedding ornaments have been arranged, and there is a big happy word in the middle, two red candles more than two feet long, lit on the middle of the offering platform, and the flame is shining.

"Ran Sheng Tho was dressed in auspicious clothes, standing in front of the offering platform, holding a red tasseled jade Ruyi.

"Seeing me and Yuhua enter the door, Ran Xiangtho took two steps closer and whispered to me: 'At this wedding ceremony, the monarch's mother was supposed to sit in the hall to worship, but in order to take into account the princess's feelings, she decided to invoke the marriage example of the Wa royal family, with the man as the main party, and she only groomed the princess and gave it away, not to participate in the ceremony. Since ancient times, the weddings of my Drought Tribe, all of which are dominated by women, are compared with the customs of the Wa royal family, which is like a gift for sumptuous gifts. Marrying a princess is unprecedented, this is the first time. What the monarch did can be described as well-intentioned. ’

After speaking, he took two steps back and officially presided over the wedding ceremony.

"After the ceremony, Yuhua and I were sent to the cave room.

"Everywhere in the West Garden, a large feast began, and the music and dance were suddenly lively.

"In the cave room, I lifted the jade hijab and saw tears in her eyes.

"I said, 'Yuhua, today is our day of great joy, we should be happy, why are you crying instead?'

"Yuhua said, 'I really feel ashamed that the monarch treats us like this. ’

"I didn't know what she meant, and I comforted, 'You are in the palace, don't you already recognize her?' ’

"Yuhua said: 'Although I recognize her, but if I think about it, she has had a really difficult life in the past ten years. But now, she is still so accommodating to me, I really can't bear it. ’

"I said: 'Then we will honor her well in the future and make up for her pain of losing her daughter and thinking about her daughter for more than ten years. ’

"Yuhua nodded, took my hand, looked at me and said, 'I was dreaming, I couldn't believe it was all true. Buddha generation, now is my happiest moment, and I really hope that this moment can last forever. Now that I finally got what I wanted, I began to feel uneasy in my heart, and I was afraid that this hard-won happiness would be lost suddenly. ’

"I put my arm around Yuhua and said to her with a smile: 'Don't worry, we will live happily ever after in this life.' From now on, we will never be apart again. ’

Tears of joy flowed down Yuhua's face.

"After the wedding, Yuhua and I lived in the West Garden, and our lives were calm and comfortable.

"In Tianyi City, the post-war tension continues.

"Junmu and Ran Xiang Tho are rectifying the defense of the city on the one hand, and on the other hand, they are ordering people to rebuild the Tianyi Bridge. Ran Xiangtu was ordered to lead the men and horses to Junshan to clean up the battlefield, rebuild the city, and repair the palace.

Yuhua went to the palace every day to greet the monarch's mother, and the mother and daughter got along for a long time, and their relationship became deeper and deeper.

"Half a month has passed.

"On this day, someone from the Shoufu Mansion came to invite me to drink.

"On the wine table, Ran Sheng Tho first raised his glass and said: "Since the defeat of the southeast, the sister has been dedicated to assisting Your Majesty in taking care of the affairs of the palace, especially planning the princess's wedding, which is very thoughtful and has been praised by Your Majesty. Recently, under the order of His Majesty, he completed the important task of rebuilding Junshan. His Majesty rejoiced. From this point of view, the recent achievements are enough to overcome the defeat of the southeastern army. Therefore, in the recent court, His Majesty was worried about the defense of the southeast, and ordered Shemei to lead the troops back to the southeast fortress. Today's banquet is for the sake of my sister, and secondly, it is also the joy of my sisters' celebration of the wedding of my sister-in-law. Originally, he should have invited his son-in-law to come to the palace to talk about it, but under the current crisis, the government and military affairs of the court are complicated, and it is difficult to have leisure for a while. ’

Ran Xiangtu also raised his glass and said, "Congratulations again on the wedding of my son-in-law." This time to renovate Jun Mountain, His Majesty specially ordered me to build a mansion for the princess and the princess next to the palace of the monarch's mother, and when the eighth monarch and mother return to the capital at the beginning of the next month, the princess and the princess can move in. ’

"I stood up, thanked the two of you, and said to Ran Xiangtu: 'Congratulations on the reinstatement of the officer, and I can once again crisscross the field and make meritorious contributions. ’

Everyone sat down laughing.

"At this time, Ran Xiang Tho's face was worried, and he said slowly: 'Now the Huandou people are still hiding in my territory and have not left. This matter is just as the son-in-law expected the previous time, a few days ago, a messenger from the south came to report, and it is true that the Huandou people have not left the south. To my whole people, this is like a sword hanging from the head of a couch, and good and bad are only in the future. If the hidden danger is not removed, I will not be able to sleep and eat. ’

"I couldn't feel relieved, so I just said, 'Lord Shoufu, don't think about this beforehand, drink first, and let's get drunk tonight. ’

The three of them drank in the gazebo until late at night.

"The wine drunk by the people of the drought is made from a strange fruit produced on the high mountains, which is different from the spirits made by the grains of the Wa royal family, and the taste is strong. This wine is soft and warm, and the smell is wonderful, and after drinking it, you will not be able to stop drinking.

"Before I knew it, I was so drunk that I was unconscious.

"When I woke up the next day, I found myself sleeping alone in the Xiyuan Library. After Yuhua and I moved into the West Garden, it became my study.

"When I walked out of the study, I found that there was a mess outside, and the whole West Garden was like a bandit.

I shouted twice, but no attendant appeared.

"Turning the verandah, I came to the antechamber, and the house was empty. The tables and stools were scattered all over the place.

"I panicked in my heart and shouted: 'Yuhua!Yuhua!'

"In the empty courtyard, there was no answer but my own echo.

"I rushed out of the gate of the West Garden like crazy, and the street was empty, and there was not half a figure.

"I ran all the way to the palace of the monarch's mother, and everywhere I saw were ruins, broken houses and empty nests. Tianyi City is in shambles.

"When I came to the palace of the monarch, the palace gate was broken, and one side of the door had fallen to the ground. Looking inside, it is also like the West Garden, which has become a deserted courtyard.

Seeing this scene, I was at a loss for what to do, and for a while my heart was mixed, the pain was like a knife, my body was tired and weak, and I sat down in front of the palace gate. ”
