After receiving the news that Jun Lixuan had woken up, the sixth prince, Jun Liche, was also relieved. Jun Liyuan had someone tell him that he didn't need to come back in a hurry, and Jun Liche took care of what his father told him with peace of mind, and then returned to Beijing. As soon as he came out of the imperial study, he went straight to the palace where Jun Lixuan was recuperating.
"Sixth brother." Mingli invited Jun Liche in, and Jun Lixuan put down the book in his hand and called for someone. Thinking of her elder brother crying bitterly in front of her own coffin, Jun Lixuan's eyes became more sentimental. In his previous life, he didn't care about other people's feelings, so he missed a lot of closeness that brothers should have. Fortunately, he has the opportunity to make up for it now.
"Why are you reading a book? You are hurt, you need to rest more and spend less time thinking." Jun Liche smiled gracefully.
"Most of it has been cured, and I can go back to the mansion to raise it in two days." There are no outsiders here, Jun Lixuan said bluntly: "To be honest, although the palace is good, it is somewhat reserved. It is better for the palace to be more comfortable."
Jun Liche nodded understandingly, "Indeed, when I was a child, I didn't realize that it is indeed restrictive to live in the palace after I leave the palace to build a mansion. However, it is convenient to use medicine in the palace, so don't be greedy for your own comfort. Your body is still important. "
"I know. It's scabbed over, it's all right."
Jun Liche looked at Jun Lixuan's expression, nodded after a long time, and said, "Lixuan, the anger between your brows seems to have faded a little when you woke up this time."
"Really?" Jun Lijing hasn't looked in the mirror these days, and she doesn't know.
"Well. Your ruthlessness is majestic on the battlefield, but it is indeed a bit scary on weekdays. The three of us are used to being together every day. But look at the servants in the palace and your mansion, who are you? When I saw you, I lowered my head and wished I could bury myself."
Jun Lixuan frowned slightly, thinking it was true. Except for Mingli, who followed him since childhood, no one in the mansion dared to say a word to him. His ruthlessness is innate, and the empress is also quite worried about it, and sometimes she will be shocked when she sees him, which is also the reason why she alienated the empress in the previous life.
Now that I think about it, it's not that the empress doesn't like him, nor is she afraid of him, but that she is surprised by his brutal looks occasionally. This can't be blamed on her, after all, she is raised in a deep boudoir, so it is normal that she is not as courageous as a man.
"Okay, let's not talk about this." Seeing the tense atmosphere, Jun Liche changed the subject in a timely manner, "I heard that someone has changed his temper and wants to marry Ling Qiyang."
Speaking of Ling Qiyang, Jun Lixuan swept away the haze, and his expression was much softer. Thinking of the disappointment of the past ten years, the debt before death, and the three years of waiting in this life, Jun Lixuan said in a low voice: "Thinking about it, I did owe him all these years. He did nothing wrong from the beginning to the end. I thought he was the imperial concubine, so I didn't want to marry him. But when I refused the marriage, except for the royal father being furious, the imperial concubine didn't say a word. It should be the imperial father's own intention to let me marry Ling Qiyang. "
"He has been waiting for me for three years, and it seems that he is about to pass the best age. In fact, I have a relationship with him, but I forgot it myself. When I think about it recently, I always feel a little sad. If he is not sincere to me, it is a big deal. There is no need to wait. After all, I had already said at the time that I would not marry him. "
Jun Liche nodded, "It takes a long time to see people's hearts, since you have seen his sincerity, treat him well in the future."
"Yeah." Jun Lixuan sat up straight, and said, "Father originally planned to let you marry him, but I begged Father to change his mind." Among his brothers, Junli Chelian was the only one left besides him. There are no concubines.
"I've never met Ling Qiyang, so naturally I don't have any feelings, so it doesn't matter to me that he marries you. And it's just an idea that my father wants me to marry him, it's not confirmed, let alone issued an order. What's more, he only has you in his heart, and if I marry him, I will ruin my life. Sixth brother also wants to find someone who is devoted to him, and Prime Minister Bai will follow him." Jun Liche laughed. If his father ordered him to marry, he would not be able to refuse. In the future, the two of them would probably only respect each other as guests, and there would be no warmth to speak of.
"Anyway, my brother thanked Sixth Brother for his adult beauty." As it was about Ling Qiyang, Jun Lixuan was willing to do all the etiquette well.
"You don't need to thank me. Someday when I have a sweetheart, you can speak kindly for me in front of my father, and let my father give me a marriage." Jun Liche smiled freely.
"Definitely." Jun Lixuan nodded solemnly.
For King Lin's wedding next month, the whole palace is busy, and no one dares to neglect it.
The number of women in the Daye Dynasty was only a quarter of that of men, and the fertility rate was extremely low.
The ancestors made a decree to recruit capable doctors from all over the world, searched through ancient books, and developed a medicine that can make men conceive. The man who took this medicine is called Qingzi, and he can only marry, but not marry. Although it is more difficult for a Qingzi to conceive than a woman, and many Qingzis will have no children for life, it is still better than nothing. It was also because of Qingzi's appearance that Daye began to admit the marriage between the man and Qingzi. Except that the emperor's concubines must all be women, other princes and princes, down to the common people, can marry Qingzi.
When Jun Lixuan heard that the man had become a Qingzi, he had to take the medicine three times as required, and after taking the medicine every time, his body would feel abnormal pain. And after taking it once, you must take the remaining two times, otherwise the body will be considered useless. So even though Daye has always taken care of Qingzi, most men are unwilling to become Qingzi.
Jun Lixuan, who was returning home to recuperate, was not idle, thinking of Ling Qiyang's wedding dress that billowed like red flames before his death, Jun Lixuan felt that when Ling Qiyang married her, the dress must be more beautiful than that one. Originally, the wedding dress should be done by the married party, but Jun Lixuan was worried that Uncle Wangyang's family would treat Ling Qiyang badly, so he asked the queen mother to come forward and say that the wedding dress would be prepared by the palace.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs ordered people to send a lot of costumes to Jun Lixuan to choose from, but Jun Lixuan was not very satisfied, and finally he simply drew it himself, and the Mingzhen Industrial Bureau rushed to make it overnight.
It was cold when they got married, and even though the flying wedding dress was magnificent and luxurious, it was not enough to keep warm. After much deliberation, Jun Lixuan decided to add cotton to the inner and middle coats, and use silk for the outer coat. This not only satisfied the luxury he wanted, but also kept warm.
On November 19th, the third prince, as the elder brother, brought his mother-in-law and mother-in-law Xi to the appointment. Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
"It's rare for you to be so careful, child." The queen felt comforted in her heart as she touched the wedding dress that had been hurriedly made. It seems that her son's marriage to Ling Qiyang is not perfunctory for her.
Thinking of her son's imminent marriage, a mother would inevitably say a few words, "Although Ling Qiyang is a concubine, his elder brother is also a concubine, and there are only two younger sisters who are descended from the concubine, so it makes sense for you to make him a concubine. People in the mansion, don't let those attendants look down on him. In addition, you must also pay attention to the matter of heirs. Although it is common to have no heirs, the Queen wants you to have someone after all."
"My son understands." He didn't have any demands on his heir, but in order to comfort the empress, he still complied.
The two people's horoscopes were combined three years ago, so although some steps are well done according to marriage customs, the process is much simplified. When it came time to add make-up, the sixth prince went to Uncle Wangyang's mansion with the prepared wedding dress and wedding crown, and the emperor and queen also gave them rewards, which made Ling Qiyang's dowry much richer.
It was cloudy for two consecutive days, and on the wedding day, the weather was cold, the sun was shining, and the sky was clear.
Prince Lin's wedding was a great joy in Daye. After lunch, the people in the city gathered on both sides of the road early, waiting to join in the fun.
At the moment of Shen Shi, the welcoming team set off from Prince Lin's mansion to meet the bride at Uncle Wangyang's mansion. The third prince and the sixth prince took the lead. Although Jun Lixuan was anxious to see Ling Qiyang, according to Daye's marriage rules, he could only wait in the mansion honestly.
After receiving the bride, the sedan chair walked around the capital city before turning to the direction of Prince Lin's mansion. The maids and servants at the back of the line each carried a basket and distributed wedding candies to the people who came to watch the excitement.
"My lord, we're here!" Mingli ran in with a smile on his face, saluted the emperor and queen who were already seated, and said, "Your lord, hurry up to the door to meet the bride."
Jun Lixuan pursed her lips, suppressed her smile, and followed Mingli to the gate.
As the sedan chair moved from far to near, Jun Lixuan began to feel a little nervous as the team approached. During the days from his recovery to his marriage, he thought of Ling Qiyang's face countless times. This memory stayed before Ling Qiyang's death, but he really had very little impression of the eighteen-year-old Ling Qiyang.
"Get off the sedan chair." Xi Po shouted with a smile on her face, "Please the groom open the sedan chair door to welcome his wife."
Jun Lixuan walked down the steps and stood in front of the sedan door, as if afraid to startle the people inside, gently opened the sedan door. Ling Qiyang's face appeared in front of his eyes, it was as greasy as in memory, but it was less sad and more beautiful.
Stretching out his hand, he waited for Ling Qiyang to get off the sedan chair. Ling Qiyang blinked slowly, then put his hand in Jun Lixuan's, got up and got off the sedan chair. The cold hand made Jun Lixuan frowned almost invisible, and asked in a low voice: "Cold?"
Ling Qiyang looked up at him, then shook his head.
Covering Ling Qiyang's hand with both hands, Ling Qiyang's body froze, and a blush appeared in his ears. Only then did Jun Lixuan realize that Ling Qiyang's cold hands were not because of freezing, but because of nervousness.
Holding hands tighter, Jun Lixuan led his concubine into the mansion, stepped over the brazier and stepped on the tiles amid Xi Po's singing and drinking. Then he worshiped in the audience of the guests.
According to the marriage customs of Ye State, Qingzi does not need to cover her head when she gets married. Seeing Ling Qiyang's face, the guests all sighed in admiration for the couple, and the emperor and queen on the main seat couldn't stop nodding and smiling with satisfaction.
After Ling Qiyang was sent into the bridal chamber, the guests also let go, and with one purpose began to drink Jun Lixuan. Jun Lixuan is usually very difficult to get close to, but when he gets married today, those officials and princes who want to have some relationship with him will naturally not miss this good opportunity. Originally, Jun Lixuan still thought that with his father around, others would not dare to be too presumptuous, but he never thought that the emperor would ignore him at all, and only talked to a few old officials with a smile.
They were seven brothers in total, the fourth and fifth princes left after the wedding banquet, and Jun Lixuan did not keep them. The Great Emperor is currently on the battlefield and will not be back until around Chinese New Year. The second prince is in the fief, so it is inconvenient to come here. For Jun Lixuan, his brothers are only his third brother and sixth brother, and these two did not disappoint him, and they also helped block a lot of drinking. Even if Jun Lixuan is not drunk after drinking a thousand cups, drinking too much alcohol will definitely hurt the body, so it is easy to do nothing.
In the new house, Ling Qiyang sat by the bed, looking at a pair of brightly burning red candles, he still felt that it was not real. Lin Wang clearly rejected the marriage, why did he suddenly change his mind? My aunt said that he had come to the end of all hardships, and my father said that he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse. The father was silent, and the mistress looked resentful. And he can only take one step at a time. He has already become the laughing stock of the capital, and he is not afraid of being laughed at again.
The laughter of the wedding banquet gradually dissipated, and the emperor and queen had returned to the palace, but there was no sign of King Lin.
Ling Qiyang looked at the time, and said to the little waiter who was quietly standing aside: "Go and prepare water for washing."
The little servant looked at Ling Qiyang in puzzlement, and said dully: "The prince hasn't come back yet."
Ling Qiyang lowered his eyes, and just about to say "The prince won't come", the door was pushed open from the outside. Jun Lixuan walked in. Ling Qiyang looked at Jun Lixuan in surprise, the banquet had been gone for a while, and Jun Lixuan hadn't come in, he thought he wouldn't come.
The servant smiled and said, "Just now the princess asked me to prepare water to wash up, I was so scared."
Jun Lixuan didn't say anything, and threw a red envelope to the waiter. The waiter thanked with a smile, said auspicious words, and then went out with a smile, not forgetting to close the door.
There were only two people left in the new house, Jun Lixuan stared at Ling Qiyang without blinking, his eyebrows, eyes and bridge of nose were the same as in memory, his lips were much redder than in memory, which was particularly attractive.
Ling Qiyang originally looked at Jun Lixuan, but he moved away awkwardly after a while, his heartbeat quickened, and his earlobes were stained red again. He couldn't see what Jun Lixuan was thinking at this moment, but compared to the previous indifference, maybe he should feel content...
The author has something to say:
In order to show the difference between the concubine and the concubine, this article calls the empress the empress, and the concubines call the empress mother. Ben Tong felt that the Queen Mother was more kind, after all, this is a warm article.
In addition, this article is not a double birth, only Jun Lixuan is reborn, let me explain here.
