"Second kneel high hall, worship."
Ban Hua turned back subconsciously, but a thick hijab blocked her sight, and all she could see was a dark red.
Between her and Rong Xia was a long and not short red silk. She could hear the chatter and laughter around her, but she couldn't see anything, which made her a little uncomfortable. Suddenly, a hand held hers. This hand was warm and dry, like firewood in winter, which warmed into Ban Hua's heart.
She pursed her lips and knelt down slowly.
When she got up, this hand held her waist.
"Happy husband and wife."
The hand on his waist slowly loosened, Ban Hua turned around, and bowed slowly towards the opposite of him.
She moved very slowly, the noise around her was quiet, and she even heard the sound of the hairpin rings on her body colliding.
"Send to the bridal chamber!"
According to the rules, at this time, Mrs. Quanfu accompanies the bride into the bridal chamber, and the groom stays outside to entertain the guests. He can not return to the house until night falls to take the bride's hijab and drink a glass of wine.
But Rong Xia gave a big gift to the guests present. Before everyone could react, he reached out to hold Ban Hua's wrist, and together with Mrs. Quan Fu, he helped the bride to the inner room. The guests were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
Some say that Rong Langjun loves the bride, and some joke that the groom is impatient, but no matter how joking, it is true that no one stops the groom.
"What does it mean to feel sorry for the bride, this is to feel sorry for the bride, Lord Rong is really considerate."
"Maybe it's because the bride is afraid of the past alone?"
After the female relatives met, they were both envious and jealous, and when they thought about their men, they felt that their whole body was full of problems, and there were few places to please them.
"Be careful of the steps." Rong Xia helped Ban Hua into the sleeping hall. This palace was built very luxuriously. The sleeping hall was inlaid with a whole piece of suet and white jade. This jade was carved with lifelike peony, rich and beautiful. .
But Rong Xia was not in the mood to care about this jade at the moment, all his attention was on Ban Hua.
"Master Hou, you..." The two Mrs. Quanfu looked at Rong Xia and felt a little embarrassed. Let's drive the groom out, it seems that they are a little nosy, but if they don't go out, it's a bit unethical.
"I'll go out later," Rong Xia helped Ban Hua to the bedside, worried that the peanuts, longan, candies and other things under the quilt would hold her back, so she shook things and swept them aside, "Sit down."
As soon as Ban Hua sat down, Rong Xia took off her shoes, slapped her onto the bed, put a soft pillow behind her, and put the quilt over Ban Hua, "It's cold at night, sit down for a while. , I'll go out and toast two glasses of wine and come here."
"Master Hou..." Mrs. Quan Fu watched Rong Xia change the bride's abdomen to be more stern, and both of them were dumbfounded. What is the rule? How can the bride take off her shoes and go to bed before the groom
In the marriage ceremony, there are many unwritten customs. For example, the bride cannot step on the groom's shoes. If they step on it, it means that the woman is a shrew. In addition, the groom can't let the bride lie on the bed first, otherwise the bride will press the groom for a lifetime, and the groom can only be humble in front of the bride all his life.
"It's fine to lie on it for a while, it's cold in the twelfth lunar month, how can you stand it alone?" Rong Xia made sure that she pressed the quilt tightly so that the cold air would not get into the quilt, and then took the hand warmer from the maid's hand and put it in the class. In the hand, "the people guarding the door are the servants you brought. If there is any inconvenience, just ask them to come in and serve, don't wrong yourself."
Ban Hua reached out and grabbed his wrist: "Wait and drink less."
"Okay." Rong Xia smiled, "I won't keep you waiting."
Ban Hua's red lips lifted up, but she didn't speak.
Rong Xia looked at her hand stained with Dan Kou, squeezed it lightly, and then got up and walked out.
Ban Hua listened attentively, and after the footsteps disappeared, she leaned on the soft pillow and squinted to sleep. She was called up early this morning, and she was so sleepy now that she could only rely on this to recuperate.
Seeing this, the two Mrs. Quanfu had to retreat lightly. The two of them looked at the maids who were guarding the outside, and turned to the side hall.
For the occasion, the two Mrs. Quanfu are wearing purple skirts today, one has the word fortune embroidered on the clothes, and the other has the character for birthday embroidered on the clothes. They have also been Mrs. Quanfu for other newcomers, but they have never seen any Family marriage is like this.
"There are no elders in the Marquis of Cheng'an family, so it's normal to not know some of the rules," said Mrs. Quanfu, who has the character Fu in Ziyi. "These old rules, if you believe in them, are spirits, but if you don't believe in them, they are nothing. Don't take them too seriously."
Mrs. Quanfu with Ziyi Shouzi smiled and said, "We are just for Mrs. Quanfu. As for the affairs between the young couple, we have nothing to do with us."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and it was a tacit decision to forget this matter in their hearts.
When the guests saw Rong Xia coming out, they all gathered around, toasting the toast, saying the hi, and the stance of not giving up. It's a pity that the escorts around Rong Xia were too powerful, and many toasts were blocked by them. As a result, Rong Xia was not drunk, but the guests and the escorts were quite drunk.
After some literati got drunk, they recited a few plausible poems. I don’t know if they were congratulating the newcomer or just remembering their emotions. Anyway, in this palace where the emperor once lived, these guests had a great time eating. .
"Marquis Rong, you have married such a beautiful woman. I wish you and your bride a long-lasting love, full of children and grandchildren," Liu Banshan raised his glass, walked to Rong Xia and said with a smile, "Xiaguan will do it first. For the sake of respect, Lord Hou, you can do whatever you want."
"Thank you." Rong Xia's cheeks were flushed, he drank the glass of wine, "Master Liu, please take a seat."
Liu Banshan filled Rongxia with wine before returning to his seat and sitting down.
"Master Liu," a colleague next to him looked at Liu Banshan with some admiration, "you actually have a relationship with Lord Ronghou." These people, they are conscious of being able to participate in this banquet, how can they let the groom The officer accompanies them to drink a glass of wine
"Because of the assassin's case against Duke Jingting earlier, Liu had a relationship with Lord Rong." Liu Banshan smiled humbly, "Liu did not expect that Lord Rong would give Liu a face like this."
"Oh..." The people at the same table suddenly realized, how could they forget about this matter, this case brought Shi Xiangye into the water, so that Shi Xiang's position in the court plummeted, and he never regained his former glory. How could they forget about it
"It's a pity that the girl from the Shi family is also considered to be a beautiful woman of a generation. I didn't expect that she would commit such a serious crime because of jealousy," an official who looked very young said regretfully.
Liu Banshan raised his eyebrows and turned to look at the young official: "Today is the happy day of the Fule County Master and Ronghou Ye, you and I should not mention such unfortunate things."
"Very, very." Everyone agreed and hurriedly shifted these topics.
Who didn't know that the girl from the Shi family was interested in Lord Rong Hou, but Lord Hou was one of the chief judges in the assassination investigation. In the end, the girl from the Shi family was sentenced to be sent to Xizhou. Xizhou is one or two thousand miles away from the capital, where is the place where the delicate young lady can live
If Lord Rong could have some kind of affection for Miss Shi, even if the girl of Shi would be convicted, she would not be sent to a place like Xizhou.
It's a pity that the goddess has a heart, and King Xiang has no dreams. What Rong Houye cares about is not the talented and beautiful girl from the Shi family, but the beautiful Princess Fule. There are men here, and in the past they liked to say how Miss Shi was, but if there was the Lord Fule present, their eyes would always run towards the Lord Fule disobediently.
This kind of absurd idea, they dare not let others know, and they have to try their best to look serious on the face, so that others know how bad he is.
"Everyone, please take it slow, Rong Mou takes a step first," Rong Xia said to everyone with a glass of wine, "This glass of wine, Rong Mou will do it first as a tribute."
Rong Xia drank all the wine in her hand, and after accusing the guests repeatedly, she hurriedly went to the inner hall.
Some guests were clamoring to go to the bridal chamber, but they were stopped by a few young masters and prevented them from going there.
The servant carried the lantern, illuminating the road ahead. Rong Xia was walking on the white marble bridge with a hurried pace. The servants behind him had to jog all the way to catch up with him.
"It's snowing?" Rong Xia suddenly stopped and looked up at the pitch-black sky. At this time, snowflakes were already falling, some on the bridge, and some in the pool under the bridge, making a rustling sound. sound.
Thinking of Ban Hua, who was still waiting for him in the house, he stepped faster.
Arriving at the entrance of the palace, Rong Xia ignored the maids who saluted him, hurriedly pushed open the door and went in, only to see Ban Hua leaning on the bed. He strode forward and called Ban Hua gently: "Hua, are you asleep? Huu?"
In a daze, Ban Hua heard someone calling her. She wanted to sit up straight, but found that her neck was sore that it didn't look like her own. She took a deep breath: "Come on, come on someone."
"What's wrong?" Rong Xia's expression changed, and she reached out to help her.
"Don't touch me!" Ban Hua grabbed his hand and his voice began to tremble, "My neck hurts so much."
Wearing such a heavy phoenix crown, it is strange that the neck does not hurt when falling asleep backwards. This phoenix crown is very gorgeously made, with gems and gold pearls embedded on it. Any pearl is enough for ordinary people for several years. It can be seen how precious a phoenix crown is
The Ban family does not seek the best, but the most expensive style, and prepares the top configuration of the county master level for Ban Hua. If they are not worried about non-compliance, they would like to embed the phoenix on the phoenix crown with golden jade orbs, but This is a regulation that only queens can have, so I deleted them, and replaced them with pearls in some places.
Rong Xia didn't expect that he would get such an answer. He supported Ban Hua against him, stretched out his hand to remove the hijab on top of Ban Yan's head, took off the hairpin that fixed the phoenix crown, and carefully took off the phoenix crown.
He held the phoenix crown in his hand, and he knew how heavy it was.
"I'll knead it for you." Rong Xia reached out and pinched Ban Hua's shoulders and neck, and laughed, "Is it better?"
"Laugh if you want," Ban Hua turned her face. "Anyway, I will wear the phoenix crown this time. I will never suffer from this kind of crime again."
"Don't laugh at you," Rong Xia smiled softly, "It's hard work."
Ban Hua smelled the faint smell of wine on his body, frowned and sniffed.
Seeing that she didn't seem to like the smell on her body, Rong Xia took off her robe, and then got up and rinsed her mouth with tea. The tea was cold and he didn't care.
"It's alright now," Rong Xia sat back next to Ban Hua, massaged her neck with one hand, and held Ban Hua with the other, "Can you still smell the wine?"
His tone was very gentle, and there was a faint scent of tea in his breath. Ban Hua smiled and shook his head: "It's okay now."
The two Mrs. Quanfu hurried over from the side hall and saw that the bride's hijab was taken off, the phoenix crown was taken off, and the groom's robe was even taken off. Lord, the county master, it's time for you to have a glass of wine."
The two poured the wine with their own hands, handed it to the two of them, and said with a smile, "I wish the two of you the white heads to stay together, the bed full of gold, the hall full of jade, the children and grandchildren around the knees, and the happiness and longevity."
"Thank you." Rong Xia took the wine glass, crossed Ban Hua's wrists, and drank the cold wine.
The drink is very light, perhaps to take care of the bride's taste, with a touch of sweet fragrance.
Ban Hua swallowed the drink and saw that Rongxia's cheeks were crimson, as if she had put on rouge, her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly felt that the candles around her were hazy, the wine was a little too high, and her mouth was dry, and she wanted to touch it. The urge to touch his face.
But there were other people around, so Ban Hua held back.
She turned her head and glanced at the two Mrs. Quanfu, thinking to herself, if there were no outsiders around, she would have to reach out and touch Rongxia's cheeks, collarbone, Adam's apple, and lower abdomen, such a stunning beauty, it must feel good to the touch.
"Many thanks to the two wives, and bear the blessings of the two." Rong Xia sent the two Quanfu wives to the door and asked the maid to take them out for a drink.
The house suddenly fell silent.
Ban Hua's blue silk was tied into a complex and gorgeous cloud bun. After removing the gorgeous phoenix crown, there were only a few golden hairpins and red jade hairpins on her head. Under the candlelight, she was so beautiful that Rong Xia couldn't take her eyes off her.
"Hua..." Rong Xia's voice was a little dry. He picked up the wine glass on the table and wanted to take a sip. Thinking that Ban Hua might not like the taste, he poured another cup of herbal tea and drank it, and then he felt that the dryness in his heart had disappeared. .
As he swallowed, his Adam's apple also trembled. Ban Hua's eyes fell on his Adam's apple, he stood up suddenly, and reached out and wiped it between his throat.
Some are slippery, some are tender, like tender tofu. Ban Hua's eyes swept across Rong Xia's neatly dressed inner robe. She wanted to learn from the bully in the book. She pushed Rong Xia down on the bed, ripped off his clothes, and then rubbed his chest, back and collarbone well. Up and down.
There were various images of pressing Rong Xia on the bed in her mind, but she stood still, but her eyes penetrated through the robes on his body and fell on every part of him.
"Hua," Rong Xia's figure trembled even more, he reached out to hold her hand, "Don't look at me with such eyes."
Ban Hua smiled innocently: "What kind of eyes did I look at you with?"
"You want to eat me," Rong Xia approached Ban Hua, her hot breath beside her ear, like the most magical medicine, making Ban Hua's ears and neck numb, "Where do you want to start eating? "
"Here?" Rong Xia pointed to her lips.
"Here?" He pointed to his neck.
"Still..." He took off his inner robe, revealing his red undershirt, he opened the front of his shirt, revealing his sexy collarbone, "Is this still?"
Ban Hua threw the man on the bed, sat on Rong Xia's waist, stretched out his hand to take off the red jade hairpin from his hair, let the blue silk fall down, and raised his red lips like fiery fire: "I want to eat, Beauty, you will obey me."
Goblin, goblin!
Rong Xia felt that at this moment, he was let him die in the hands of this woman, and he was happy and would not resist at all.
"Master Hou!" Du Jiu's anxious voice sounded outside the door, "Master Hou, something happened."
Ban Hua looked at Rongxia's half-exposed chest regretfully, helped him tidy up his underwear, turned around and walked to the door to open a crack: "What's the matter?"
The bride's makeup is very heavy, and most people will look rigid and rigid with such makeup, but Ban Hua is different. The more gorgeous the makeup, the thicker the makeup, the brighter she will be. After Du Jiu saw Ban Hua, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly saluted: "The news came just now that King Ning and Dalang of the Xie family had a quarrel, and King Ning was in a hurry and stabbed Xie Dalang with a knife. Seeking medical treatment from Jingting Gongfu, but it is said that these two doctors followed the princess... The wife was dowry to the palace, and now the Xie family has come to the door."
What's more strange is why the Lord of Fule County came to open the door, and their Marquis
"King Ning has no time to stop?" Ban Hua said angrily, "Why didn't he stab himself to death if he was so capable?!"
Du Jiu thought, probably because King Ning wasn't stupid enough to cut himself off.
"Don't be angry," Rong Xia walked over to Ban Hua wearing a robe, and seeing Du Jiu bowing her head, he said, "Don't the Xie family know that today is a great day for Hua Hua and me? The whole capital city. Is there no other doctor who insists on coming to our Baishou Garden to have someone?"
Du Jiu heard the displeasure in Lord Hou's tone, and hurriedly said: "Master Hou, this subordinate also thinks so, who knows that Uncle Zhongping came to the door to cry in person, other people can't be the master, there are still many in the garden now. If the guests are here, if you don’t care about it, your subordinates will worry about other people’s gossip.”
"If they don't like to gossip, let them gossip," Ban Hua snorted coldly, "I don't want to be afraid of thunder and lightning when disturbing other people's good days."
"You asked people to take the two doctors over there," Ban Hua said indifferently, not rejecting the Xie family's request, "It's just that these two doctors are respected by my family, no matter whether they are rescued or not, they cannot be allowed to The two doctors are wronged. Huwei Du, arrange for a few more people to go with you, lest the Xie family go crazy and make our own people wronged."
"Yes." Du Jiu led the order to retreat. After walking a few steps away, he remembered that he hadn't listened to the words of Lord Hou. Looking back, he saw only the silhouette of Lord Hou talking to the county master, and he instantly felt A bit self-indulgent.
Hou Ye didn't even look at him at all.
He walked out of the main hall, saw the haggard-looking Uncle Zhongping, and clasped his fists at him: "Uncle Zhongping please wait a moment, I'll go to invite the two doctors."
"Mr. Laodu." Uncle Zhongping's heart trembled, and in the panic, he actually saluted Du Jiu.
Uncle Zhongping is respected, and Du Jiu is the subordinate. How dare Du Jiu accept this courtesy. After hurriedly avoiding him, he said, "Uncle Zhongping does not need to thank me, this is what our wife means, and my subordinates are just doing what they know. That's it."
Du Jiu said the words "our wife" in a strong voice and with a bit of pride.
Uncle Zhongping's old face turned a little red. The wife Du Jiu spoke of could almost be his daughter-in-law.
It's a pity... It's a pity...
"It's a pity that Lang's heart is so iron-hearted that he misses the beautiful woman," Ban Hua washed off the makeup on her face and said to Rong Xia, "This King Ning has been in love with me since he was a child, and I don't know how much hatred I had with him in my previous life. ."
Rong Xia asked the servant girls to step down, and dragged Ban Hua to sit down by the bed, "He bullied you before?"
"He wants to bully, but I let him bully in vain?" Ban Hua tucked his feet into the quilt, hugged the quilt and yawned, "Although his personality was unpleasant when he was a child, he didn't want to be so annoying now. "
Seeing Ban Hua's sleepy appearance, Rong Xia lowered her head and said, "People always change."
"Well..." Ban Hua lay in the quilt, "Some people are getting better and better, while others are getting more and more annoying."
"Sleepy?" Rong Xia's eyes swept across Ban Hua's neck, reaching out and gently touching Ban Hua's earlobe.
Ban Hua reluctantly opened his eyes: "Do you have anything else?"
Rong Xia followed and went in: "Well, I have something to do."
With one more person squeezed into the same quilt with her, Ban Hua's sleepiness suddenly flew away more than half. She looked at Rong Xia with wide eyes, like a proud cat, scrutinizing the human beings who invaded her territory. But it may be because this human is too good-looking, the proud cat finally relaxed his emotions slowly, "What's the matter?"
"Today is our wedding candle..."
Before Rong Xia could finish speaking, Ban Hua suddenly sat up energetically, "Is your back injury healed?"
"Want to see it?"
"Think!" Ban Hua nodded, her hand reaching Rong Xia's chest.
Rong Xia took her hand, pressed her hand on his chest, and said in a hoarse voice: "No hurry, we have one night to look at it slowly, touch it slowly, and slowly... taste it."
Ban Hua's fingertips trembled, and suddenly she felt that the palm of her hand was terrifyingly hot, like a cluster of oil-stained flames, burning more and more vigorously.
"It's snowing outside and it's cold."
The warm lips kissed the soft tip of the ear, and the tip of the ear instantly turned into a blooming red flower, so bright that it seemed to drip out of water.
Snowflakes fluttered in the air and landed in the open-air hot spring pool in the other palace. The hazy mist rose and blended with the snowflakes, as if it was cold or hot, and finally the snowflakes turned into water, but the temperature of the hot springs never subsided.
"Hua, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, do you want to do it again?"
Snowflakes are lingering in the hot spring, boiling, melting, and the rising mist is like a fairyland on earth, making people unable to tell what day is today and what year tomorrow is.
The big red candles carved with dragons and phoenixes burned for a whole night, and the pair of red candles did not burn until the sky was bright, leaving candle oil on the candlesticks, proving the passage of time this night.
Ruyi opened the window and saw the snow-white world outside, she couldn't help but add another jacket to herself.
"Miss Ruyi," a maid in a lotus-inspired dress walked out of the window and bowed to Ruyi, "Master Hou and Madam are about to wake up, we should go and serve."
Ruyi glanced at the current hour and smiled at the maid, "Thank you."
"Don't be so polite."
A group of people who waited came to the door and saw that there was no movement in the room, so they all turned to look at Ruyi. Ruyi is the person next to the county lord, and he must know the habit and taboo of the county lord.
Ruyi ignored the eyes of these people and just stood quietly outside the door, waiting for the master's summons.
When Rong Xia woke up, it was already bright outside. He rarely woke up so late, and rarely slept so deeply.
He turned his head to look at the woman beside him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth unconsciously.
The quilt was too warm, so warm that he didn't want to go out, he just wanted to lie down in it until he was old.
"Are you awake?" Ban Hua opened his eyes and saw Rong Xia's handsome face, with a bright smile on his face.
chirp.
She kissed the corner of his mouth, and there was a bit of satisfaction on her red face.
