Chu Yuan stared at him for a long time.
Duan Baiyue was alert: "Don't tell me you want to go back."
Chu Yuan said: "Well."
Right on my mind.
Take care of me, I am the emperor.
Duan Baiyue patted his cheek, turned his head and said loudly, "come here!"
"Hey!" Chu Yuan covered his mouth, and hurriedly sat up, pulling up the half-open collar indiscriminately.
"I'm teasing you." Duan Baiyue coughed twice with a shy smile, "No one is outside, I'm afraid to disturb your sleep, there is only one Sixi."
"..." Chu Yuan's heart was beating wildly.
"How can I let others see this lazy little appearance." Duan Baiyue slid his fingers across his collarbone, hugged the person in his arms, lowered his head and kissed deeply again.
In the quiet bamboo courtyard, there is the fragrance of grass and leaves in the air, the cool wind and the warm sunshine. When you close your eyes, you are like lying in a gentle sea of flowers. In a trance, it was as if I had returned to the afternoon in the North Palace. It was the best scene, and the best person, the only difference was that I could finally unload the heavy burden in my heart, and I was wholeheartedly unfettered. to love him.
"Get married in three days, okay?" Duan Baiyue asked.
Chu Yuan buried his face in the crevice of his neck, with a deep smile in his voice: "Okay."
Si Xi was so happy when she heard it outside, she reached out and patted her big belly.
is good.
The tailor was a brocade mother-in-law invited from Jiangnan, and brought eighteen embroiderers from the Red Satin Building. No matter how complicated the materials and styles were, they could be changed within three days. Although the rest of the guests were not invited, just the people from the Southwest Mansion were enough to sit at a large table. There were also flowing water mats on the street outside, and the people only thought they were returning to celebrate the victory of the Chu army, and they were very happy to squeeze around.
Ye Jin: "..."
Ye Jin: "..."
Ye Jin: "..."
Duan Yao said in time, "I'll take you to see the bugs!"
Ye Jin asked, "What worm?"
Duan Yao stretched out his hand a foot long: "It's so big!"
Ye Jin was really interested: "Where?"
"Hou Shan, I was afraid of biting the emperor, so I hid it." Duan Yao dragged his hand and ran out - this time, as long as you don't make trouble in the house, not to mention looking at worms, even if you want to use the entire Hundred Worm Caves They all moved back to Sun Moon Villa, so it wasn't negotiable.
After all, my brother is very old, and it is rare to get married once.
At dinner, Chu Yuan stirred the soup bowl with a spoon and said, "Duan Baiyue."
"What's wrong?" A spoonful of green beans and minced pork was fed to him, and he mixed a big mouthful of rice.
So Chu Yuan had to chew for a long time, swallowed it, and then continued: "Do we really get married in three days?"
Duan Baiyue said: "Naturally, if you think it's too slow, you can change it to tomorrow."
Chu Yuan: "..."
"I'm serious." Duan Baiyue smiled, "Southwest Mansion has been waiting for so many years, and everything that should be married has already been prepared, just take it out and set it up, and then it will be too late."
Chu Yuan said: "Oh."
"What did you want to say?" Duan Baiyue asked.
"I want to say that if there are not enough people in the Southwest Mansion, there are still Chu Jun who can help." Chu Yuan wiped his mouth for him, "But now it seems that I am overthinking it."
"The Southwest Mansion lacks everything, only one of you." Duan Baiyue held his hand, "Just wait with peace of mind."
Duan Yao was filled with emotion when he heard it outside. After so many years, his brother's speech finally made some progress.
Nor is it easy.
Later in the day, Chu Yuan took Sixi for a walk in the southwest mansion, and happened to meet Xiaoman coming back from outside.
Sixi stepped back, and after a while, made a pot of tea and brought it up, placing it on the gazebo table lightly.
"Where did you go to play?" Chu Yuan sat on the stone bench and raised his hand to call him to his side.
"Sangua Bridge." Xiaoman said, "Many people from Dali City gathered there to listen to the story of the war by the Chu army, and it would only disperse after dark, but it was lively."
"Do you like to hear about wars?" Chu Yuan asked.
Xiaoman said: "It's okay to be idle in the house, it's better to go out and get some air."
"The first time I saw you in Guanhai City a few years ago, you were still a little guy who stumbled while walking." Chu Yuan sighed, "You have grown so big in a blink of an eye."
Xiaoman sat beside him and took a snack to eat slowly. There was a long sword hanging from his waist, shining with a faint cold light, and it looked like it had been some years.
After a while, Duan Baiyue came to look for someone after he was busy with his work. Xiaoman stood up and patted the cake residue on the front of his clothes, and said, "Foster father."
"Why are you here." Duan Baiyue smiled, "Aunt Jin was still looking for it, why did she not come home after it was dark, and the kitchen was still warm with soup."
"I happened to meet you just now, so I chatted a little more." Chu Yuan said, "Let's go and eat."
Xiaoman nodded, turned and ran out of the courtyard. Duan Baiyue supported Chu Yuan to stand up and said, "What do you think of him?"
"I've only said a few common things, and I can see what's going on." Chu Yuan said, "But I'm naturally at ease with the people you teach."
"When do you plan to bring him into the palace?" Duan Baiyue asked.
"If Xiaoman is willing, ten days later." Chu Yuan said, "Follow the army to return to the court."
Duan Baiyue nodded: "I'll take the time to talk to him." Entrust this country earlier, so that people can be abducted home earlier.
Two more days later, Sikong Rui arrived in Dali with his wife and children, full of dust and joy.
Duan Baiyue stretched out his hand: "Congratulations."
"Don't worry, this brother will never forget it." Si Kongrui patted his shoulder and ordered Jiading to drag in a scooter. After opening the cover, there were washboards inside, tied with ropes and stacked on top of each other for ten years. are more than enough.
…
So everyone watched helplessly as their prince drew out his sword and drove out the guests who came to Hexi.
"Stop him." Duan Baiyue fell steadily to the ground, put the long knife in his hand back into the weapon rack on the side, and respectfully said to Xiuxiu, "Brother and sister, please."
Xiuxiu hugged her son without looking back, talking and laughing, and went to the residence with Duan Baiyue, leaving Si Kongrui squatting outside the sword formation, her eyes sad and blurry.
Put me in quickly, I'm in a hurry.
There was a wedding the next day, and the southwest mansion would naturally not stop that night. There were housekeepers and maids everywhere, and there was a lot of noise. Only the small courtyard where Chu Yuan lived was quiet.
"Your Majesty, it's better to rest early." Sixi smiled and said, "It's getting late. According to the rules, the newlyweds can't meet tonight, and the lord also said that they won't come."
Chu Yuan didn't feel sleepy at all, but he couldn't find anything else to do, so he had to wait for him to take a bath and go to bed. As a result, I tossed and turned for more than an hour, still staring at the top of the bed with my eyes open, my mind was in a mess, and I didn't know what to think. In the end, I simply stepped on soft shoes and stayed in bed, wanting to go to the yard to get some air.
Ye Jin happened to push the door and came in at this time, and was shocked when he saw this. Why did he run around in his underwear in the middle of the night
Chu Yuan explained: "The room is stuffy."
The bamboo buildings leaking everywhere are still stuffy. Ye Jin sat across from him, her eyes resentful, what is there to be nervous about marrying a bald head, the prince of a country, a little bit of momentum is okay.
"You... have something to do with me?" Chu Yuan's back was numb when he stared at him.
"It's nothing." Ye Jin pouted, and reached out to draw a circle on top of his head, "Who, let me have a conversation with you."
Chu Yuan laughed: "If you are sleepy, just go back and rest, you don't have to stay here."
Ye Jin didn't give up in the end, grabbed his brother's hand and said sincerely, "Do you want to escape from marriage?" It was still too late.
Chu Yuan pulled his hand back, holding back a smile: "I don't want to."
Ye Jin sighed and felt that he needed to calm down. After a long time, I just took out a small cloth bag from my waist: "Here, it's for you."
"Congratulations?" Chu Yuan was a little surprised.
"It doesn't count." Ye Jin said, "Open it and take a look."
Chu Yuan pulled open the drawstring, and inside was a small black jade carving in the shape of a tiger.
"When you were six years old, the emperor originally planned to give it to you. It is said to be a rare item for tribute from the west." Ye Jin said, "As a result, you were awkward and refused to go home. I happened to go to the Splendid Palace and gave it to me. already."
"What's the matter?" Chu Yuan smiled, "Thank you."
"Let's think about it." Ye Jin stood up, "Then I'm going back, you go to bed earlier too."
Chu Yuan nodded and watched him go all the way out. Arriving in front of the door, Ye Jin supported the door frame and looked back suddenly, her eyes wide and twinkling, really don't castrate, fast, safe, and no money.
Chu Yuan said calmly, "Four joys."
Father-in-law Sixi had a smile on his face, and the divine soldier descended from the sky, pushing and half-pulling His Royal Highness Ninth Highness, and forcibly sent it to Alliance Lord Shen. Going back to the courtyard of the bamboo building, there was no one there. The room was quiet. He lifted the curtain lightly and looked around, and saw Chu Yuan lying on his side on the bed, with a small sculpture of a black jade tiger placed beside the pillow. sound asleep. He also smiled and went back to the next door, thinking that tomorrow would be a big day, and he had to get up early to prepare.
The fragrance of flowers was accompanied by the breeze all night, and at noon the next day, the sun was shining warmly into the courtyard. As soon as Chu Yuan opened his eyes, Sixi's smiling face appeared above: "Your Majesty, it's time to get up."
"It's so early." Chu Yuan frowned and sat up, a little confused.
"It's getting late, I've already eaten lunch outside, and I can see that the lord is coming." Si Xi helped him sit on the chair, twisted the hot water handkerchief and handed it over, "The house started to riot early in the morning. Coax, it is said that there are still people who have not slept all night, so they are afraid that something will go wrong today."
Chu Yuan washed his face and rinsed his mouth with green salt, just now he felt a little more awake. When he turned around, his eyes were flushed with redness. Sixi held the wedding dress in her hands, and her smile almost turned into a flower.
…
The needles of the red satin building can kill people as weapons, but they are also unique in the world for embroidering and making clothes. Duan Baiyue had previously instructed that the style should be simple, so there were not many complicated patterns. Sixi put on his wedding clothes and tied the belt for him, and tied his hair neatly. For some time, there were tears in his eyes.
Chu Yuan couldn't help but stare at him.
"Your Majesty laughed." Si Xi quickly wiped away her tears and went to pass on the breakfast. Even the steamed buns are lit with red petals, red rice is boiled in the porridge, and the side dishes are also crimson pickled radishes.
Before Chu Yuan had eaten two bites, firecrackers exploded in the courtyard. Si Xi was taken aback, and hurriedly put away the food box on the table, and even took away half of the steamed bun in Chu Yuan's hand.
Chu Yuan: "..."
Why don't you get food on the day of your marriage
"The lord is here, the emperor will continue to eat later." Si Xi adjusted Chu Yuan's hair again before trotting to open the door.
Duan Baiyue, dressed in red, stood at the door and smiled at the people at the table.
Chu Yuan said: "Stupid."
Duan Baiyue strode into the house, bent down and hugged the person into her arms, and said with satisfaction: "It's so beautiful."
"Do you want to go out now?" Chu Yuan smiled and held his hand instead.
"Well." Duan Baiyue pulled him to stand up, "There are no rules in the Southwest House, but you still have to observe the auspicious time. After the worship, I will take you to the back mountain to see the master."
Chu Yuan nodded: "Okay."
After waiting for many years, I finally waited for this day, even if I had not had time to announce to the world, the guests were only their own family members, and the two were still full of joy, and went out together hand in hand. Outside the hospital, Duan Yao and Si Kongrui were holding bright red firecrackers in their hands, and they ignited them with acacia incense only when the newcomer approached. Ye Jin and Xiaoman stood on the other side, and Aunt Jin forced a basket of rice into her hands, telling them several times that they must sprinkle them along the way, so that they would be well-fed and well-dressed in the future.
The servants of the Southwest Mansion burst into tears, what kind of virtue did my lord have accumulated, and the princess who married back home was actually the emperor. There is no impermeable wall in the world, and Duan Baiyue and Chu Yuan have never thought of concealing this marriage. Looking at the two strings of bright red lanterns at the entrance of the Southwest Mansion, and the continuous sound of firecrackers in the early morning, The people naturally crowded in front of them to watch the excitement, inquiring and inquiring, but they said that the prince was marrying the emperor.
"I worship the world." Sikong Rui shouted.
Duan Baiyue pulled Chu Yuan and knelt on the cushion.
"Second worship to the high hall." Si Kongrui held his hands and was a little nervous. If he made a typo at this time, I wonder if he would be wanted by the court, or implicate an innocent uncle.
The two faced the back mountain and bowed from afar.
"The newcomers say goodbye!" Si Kongrui's tongue flicked, and the word "husband and wife" was swallowed back. Although he doesn't mind making Duan Baiyue his wife, the reality seems to be the other way around, so it's better to be cautious.
Chu Yuan pursed his lips and smiled, wearing a bright red dress, his eyes were like stars.
Duan Baiyue held his hand, bowed her head and bowed deeply, and when she straightened up again, the person on the opposite side was already red-eyed.
"Licheng." Si Kongrui breathed a sigh of relief, smiling happily, and took the lead in applauding.
Duan Baiyue supported Chu Yuan to stand up, clasped his hands tightly together, and said softly, "Let's go to the back mountain to see Master."
Chu Yuan nodded, a large carriage with red silk and satin had already stopped in the courtyard, Duan Yao and Ye Jin were alone, and with a flick of the horse whip, they left the palace from the backyard and went straight to the back mountain ice room.
Nan Moxie was still lying on the jade bed with a peaceful expression. Compared with before, the petals in his hands seemed to be slightly open, round and full of fragrance.
Duan Baiyue and Chu Yuan knelt in front of the window, respectfully kowtowed three times, and toasted a glass of wine before standing up.
"This wedding meal, just sleep over." Duan Baiyue said to Nanmo evilly, "But don't sleep in Wangcheng's meal, otherwise, if you miss it, you won't be able to find a place to make up for it."
"Master." Chu Yuan also said, "From here back to Wangcheng, and then to repair your old man's mansion, it is estimated that it will only take a year or two at most, so you should wake up soon, otherwise, wait for the grand master to resign and return to his hometown. If you want to be angry with him, you have to go to the old house of the Tao family in Hangzhou to find him."
The ice room was cold, and Duan Baiyue didn't dare to let Chu Yuan stay longer, and after saying a few words with the master, he brought people back to the house. In the busy days, the sky gradually darkened. On the streets of the city, there was an endless stream of people who came to eat the flowing water feast. When I saw the red yeast rice and eight treasures glutinous rice cooked by southwestern people only when they got married, I believed it seriously. The mansion was holding a wedding ceremony, and there were some mixed feelings for a while. The prince was rumored to have ambitions of a wolf for so many years. , The plot is so twisted and bizarre, I dare not sing like this in the play.
In the southwest mansion, a lively banquet table was also set up in the front hall, and there was a table full of fried, fried, fried river fish and mountain delicacy. When Si Kongrui was getting married a few years ago, Duan Baiyue brought a group of friends and friends to drink several jars of wine. To get the money back with profit, I never thought that this person would actually marry an emperor in the end, so he had to bury his head and eat vegetables with regret. After all, the washboard of huanghuali wood was not cheap, at least he had to pay back the money.
Chu Yuan was seriously injured and could not drink. He only had a smell of alcohol in the clear water. Even this Duan Baiyue did not allow him to drink more, so he simply ordered the servants to change to clear tea. It was a gift from Wen Liunian. It was not easy. Emei Piaoxue, which was only bought in the past caravan.
After three rounds of wine, I ate most of the food. Naturally, no one dared to make trouble in the emperor's bridal chamber, but it was not good if it was too deserted. In the end, Xiaoman bit the bullet and went to sit on the quilt. He threw a few eight-treasure candies into it, and it was considered a newcomer. He rushed out, blushing amidst the applause of the crowd.
Duan Baiyue closed the door with a smile, turned around and said, "In so many years, this is the first time I've seen Xiaoman so helpless."
"Young and mature, it is the material to be the emperor." Chu Yuan poured a cup of tea, "You taught him well."
"There is something, I forgot to give it to you." Duan Baiyue put a box on the table, "Congratulations from the boss."
"Wen Aiqing's tea doesn't count?" Chu Yuan was surprised.
"Master Wen is Master Wen, Master Zhao is Master Zhao, one is a minister, the other... cough." Duan Baiyue said, "Open it and take a look."
Chu Yuan laughed: "What's the other one?"
"I don't know." Duan Baiyue raised her brows and approached innocently and said, "What you say is what it is."
"You slick your tongue." Chu Yuan pressed the lock, and after opening it was a pair of wine glasses, blue and clear, crystal clear and gorgeous.
"It's the jasper jade from the East China Sea." Duan Baiyue said, "It should be very valuable, it's rare for ordinary people to see it, I'm afraid it was given to him by Senior Yun."
Chu Yuan gently rubbed the wine glass with his fingers: "Well."
"After the Battle of the East China Sea, whether it is in Great Chu or overseas, there are rumors that the family of Zhao Da and Senior Yun are father and son." Duan Baiyue smiled and shook his head, "This pair of wine glasses are brought here, and I have to carry Master Wen on their backs. ." The meaning is self-evident.
"I have no intention of disturbing him." Chu Yuan gently closed the lid, "When I'm not the emperor, it's not too late to drink together."
"You can wait five or ten years for the wine with others, but I can't wait a moment for this glass of wine tonight." Duan Baiyue picked up the jade pot on the table and poured two glasses of wine, "It's what you like. Feixia, this altar should be extra sweet."
Chu Yuan took the wine glass, gently wrapped his arms around him, raised his head and drank it.
She hadn't drank alcohol for several months, and even Feixia, who was mellow, felt her ears get hot after the mouth, and she was a little drunk. Duan Baiyue picked him up horizontally and gently placed it on the quilt.
"See what I do?" Chu Yuan asked.
"Good-looking." Duan Baiyue held his hand, "I've waited for so many years, and it still seems like a dream until now."
Chu Yuan pinched his cheek: "Does it hurt?"
Duan Baiyue nodded: "It hurts."
"You didn't dream." Chu Yuan pulled his shoulders closer, wrapped his arms around his strong back, and said with a low smile, "We are really married."
Duan Baiyue pulled off his hairband, and his lips were printed with brocade-like black hair inch by inch. Sixi waited anxiously outside, and in the end she had no choice but to cough twice—Aunt Jin had said countless times that she wanted the emperor to bathe and wash up with this bucket of spring water before the auspicious time passed.
Chu Yuan smiled and pushed the person away: "Smell of alcohol, don't go to bed."
"The bridal chamber is so particular about Huazhuye." Duan Baiyue's head hurt, and he sucked on his neck again, before he let go of him reluctantly. "
"It's not my rule, it's your Southwest Mansion's rule." Chu Yuan hooked his nose, "Go, groom, your bathing water is next door, and ask Sixi to come in."
Duan Baiyue sighed for a long time and went to the next door to scrub with the bucket of fragrant water. After waiting for a long time, she didn't see the four happy calls, so she raised her hand and called Duan Nian: "Is there anything else to do?"
"It's gone, it's gone." Duan Nian quickly shook his head, "If it were normal, Madam Xi would have to teach the newcomer the rules, but Aunt Jin said that the rules of the world are all set by the emperor, so it's okay to avoid it."
Duan Baiyue breathed a sigh of relief, and after sending him away, he turned back to the bedroom. Si Xi had already called someone to take the tub away, and the room had been tidy up. Chu Yuan was sitting beside the bed, wearing only a light red gauze coat, watching him smile quietly.
Duan Baiyue felt that just for this one glance, even if she made herself wait another ten years.
Xiaoman sprinkled a lot of eight-treasure candies on the inside of the quilt. It took too much time to pick one by one. Duan Baiyue simply threw the quilt on the ground, pulled his belt with one hand, pressed it on his body and kissed him for a moment, but did not want to separate. .
Chu Yuan was out of breath, and kissed him fiercely for a long time before reaching out and pushing the person away, his eyes were a little hazy, but before he could breathe, his lips were blocked by lingering.
Through a thin layer of gauze, Duan Baiyue stroked the beautiful body inch by inch, feeling his undisguised trembling and moaning again and again. Chu Yuan slid his hands down, gropingly threw his shirt on the ground, a red candle beating by the bedside, blurred to the point where he could hardly see the other party's expression under the dizzy warm twilight.
Duan Baiyue took some ointment, kissed his earlobe as comfort, and dragged the sturdy waist with one hand, but accidentally touched the wound with her fingertips, her eyes felt a little more distressed, and her movements became more gentle. stand up.
"Okay." Chu Yuan whispered in his ear, his chin resting on his shoulder, and the corners of his eyes were dyed crimson with lust.
Duan Baiyue threw the ointment aside, swept down the heavy gauze with her hand, covering the infinite spring.
After a long time, Chu Yuan hugged his back tightly with both hands, panting and crying in confusion. He couldn't tell if it was pain or joy. He only knew that in the drowsiness, there were always people whispering love words in his ears, more satisfying than his body. is the heart.
The sky outside gradually turned white, and it was finally quiet in the bedroom. Duan Baiyue stroked his sweaty forehead hair, put a gentle kiss on the corner of his tearful eyes, tossed down, and pursed his lips again.
Chu Yuan ducked slightly.
Duan Baiyue smiled and rubbed him back into her arms: "I won't bully you, sleep well."
