The sun is rising and the snow is dazzling.
The cold morning breeze carries the chill of the river water, blowing on my face, causing a stinging pain.
Especially delicate skin.
Therefore, the three beautiful and delicate-skinned mothers and daughters of the Qin family all wore the same snow-white fox fur and the same snow-white veils on their faces.
The three of them stood under the big tree at the gate, tall and graceful, as white as jade, like three snow lotus flowers blooming brilliantly in the snow, pure white, delicate, and beautiful.
Luo Qingzhou stood nearby and took a look. He couldn't help but whisper to Miss Qin Er, "Can you be more low-key? If you stand in the palace, who will look at the empress? Who will look at the groom?"
Miss Qin Er smiled and whispered back, "Brother Qingzhou, are you afraid that Wei Mo will be noticed by others, or are you afraid that my sister will be noticed by others?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "It's mainly because I'm afraid it will be too conspicuous."
Miss Qin Er smiled softly and said, "Isn't this just to save face for Brother Qingzhou? When others see this, they will secretly say in their hearts that they envy Brother Qingzhou's good fortune, and will never slander Brother Qingzhou behind his back again, saying that he is a son-in-law."
Luo Qingzhou raised his eyebrows and said, "Do I need others to envy me?"
Miss Qin Er smiled and said, "Indeed, it is not necessary."
Luo Qingzhou held her soft and cold little hand, rubbing it gently in his hand, looking into the distance, and couldn't help but sigh: "Now that the eldest princess has ascended the throne, she is getting married today, and she has specially invited our Qin family. I guess it will be difficult for her to keep a low profile in the future."
As he spoke, he took her little hand and put it to his mouth, exhaled, and asked softly, "Are you cold?"
Miss Qin Er said softly, "Warm, my hands and heart are warm."
Luo Qingzhou looked at her strangely and said, "Are you sure that you feel warm in your heart? Do you know what day it is today?"
Miss Qin Er smiled and said, "The day when the eldest princess gets married."
Luo Qingzhou asked: "Who is the groom?"
Miss Qin Er smiled and said, "It's Chu Feiyang from Lingxiao Sect, my mother's savior, and the person that Sister Meijiao loves. Anyway, it's not you."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
At this moment, a familiar sound of music suddenly came from the path ahead.
Qin Erge, who was standing under the big tree in front and looking around, hurried back to report: "Dad, Mom, they are here, and the groom seems to be here too."
Miss Qin Er looked at someone.
Someone held her little hand with a calm look on his face.
"Lift up the gift, don't put it on the ground!"
"Have you taken all the things I asked you to prepare last night? Take some things with you first and put them in the store's warehouse, so that you don't have to take them out when you move..."
"Mei'er, go check if the door is locked!"
Song Ruyue resumed her noble ladylike demeanor and began to give orders with a dignified look.
When everyone in the Qin family heard yesterday that they were going to move into the inner city, they were all very excited and packed their luggage overnight.
Xiaodie said happily: "Sir, I can finally see Sister Xiaotao again."
Since Luo Qingzhou married into the Qin family, he often heard this girl mention Sister Xiaotao, but until now, he had only heard of her name but never met her in person. Hearing this, he said, "I'll meet her when the time comes."
At this time, Brother Qin suddenly pointed to the front and said, "Here they come!"
On the small road ahead, a team was coming in a joyous and mighty manner.
Qin Wen Zheng hurriedly led everyone from the Qin family to greet them.
"Master Qin, long time no see, long time no see!"
Prince Duan Nangong Ke was the first to greet them, with a warm smile on his face, as if they were old friends who had not seen each other for many years.
Qin Wen Zheng hurriedly bowed.
Nangong Ke took the lead, stretched out his hand to hold him, and said with a smile: "Master Qin, you don't have to be polite. You are an honored guest today. His Majesty personally ordered me to come and pick you up. If Master Qin really wants to pay respects, just go and pay respects to His Majesty later."
Other members of the royal family and officials from the Ministry of Rites also hurried forward to pay their respects.
Although Qin Wen Zheng had resigned his title long ago and is still a commoner, his son-in-law is very capable. Her Majesty the Queen personally invited him by name and said that she wanted to worship Mr. Luo as the imperial tutor.
"By the way, where is Master Luo?"
The officials, who were eager to flatter the emperor, asked hurriedly.
At this time, they saw a gentle and elegant young man in a Confucian robe walking towards them from behind. He did not show any arrogance at all. Instead, he bowed his head and greeted them politely.
"This young man is so young, yet he is so calm and modest. He is worthy of being a talent that Your Majesty values!"
The officials sighed inwardly and quickly returned the gift.
"Mr. Luo is indeed a handsome man with extraordinary temperament!"
"Mr. Luo's handsome appearance is unmatched by any other man in the entire capital."
"Mr. Luo is not only good-looking, but also extremely talented. Even the Queen Mother and His Majesty have praised him highly."
"I heard that Miss Wan'er, the most talented lady in the palace, is willing to admit defeat."
Everyone praised enthusiastically and generously.
Even Prince Duan Nangong Ke came over to try to get close to him: "Qingzhou, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look much thinner. Some time ago, you and Meijiao often came to my mansion to play with Xiaoxin. Why haven't you been there recently? When you move to the inner city, you must come often. Xiaoxin is always thinking about you."
Luo Qingzhou was about to reply when a cold voice suddenly came from the side: "Uncle Duan, I am a very busy man, how can I have time to play?"
Luo Qingzhou looked up, then lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I have been studying at home recently and have been quite busy. I will not bother you again after we move into the inner city."
The two sides exchanged greetings for a while before heading towards the river.
Song Ruyue suddenly looked at the sedan chair surrounded by the people of Lingxiao Sect and asked in confusion: "Why doesn't Master Chu get off?"
Qin Wenzheng rolled his eyes at her and asked, "When I went to marry you, did you get off the sedan?"
Song Ruyue: “…”
She immediately whispered again, "But Master Chu is a man after all, there's no need for him to hide in the sedan chair, right? Could it be that when we get to the palace later, he will have to... do you want Your Majesty to carry him down personally?"
Nangong Ke on the side said with a smile: "That's not necessary, Master Chu can just get down by himself when the time comes. In fact, he can ride a horse all the way, but he doesn't seem to want to show up in public, so he sits in the sedan chair."
Song Ruyue laughed and said, "Master Chu is so powerful, yet he is still shy."
Nangong Ke smiled politely and said nothing more.
The affairs between the five major sects and the imperial court were somewhat complicated, and this marriage was beyond everyone's expectations. There were some things that even he was not clear about, and he dared not say anything.
Everyone came to the river and began to cross the river.
Many small boats had already been prepared on the riverside, and the boatmen were waiting respectfully.
Luo Qingzhou helped Miss Qin Er onto one of the small boats.
Qiu'er, Xiaodie, and Zhu'er all followed.
Miss Qin Er glanced at the shore and said quickly, "Brother Qingzhou, go and help me up as well."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
At this moment, Brother Qin suddenly appeared beside Miss Qin and said with a smile: "Jianjia, let's not take a boat. Brother Qin will take you to fly over directly!"
He has now broken through to the level of a great martial artist and can transform his energy into wind and walk on water.
Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, a slap suddenly came from behind and hit him directly on the back of the head.
Qin Chuan was furious and turned around to stare at him.
Unexpectedly, it was Qin Wen Zheng standing behind him, also staring at him.
Qin Chuan suddenly became intimidated and said, "Dad, what did I do wrong again?"
Qin Wenzheng said with a straight face: "You think you are so great just because you have cultivated to the level of a great martial artist? What day is today? There are so many masters in the Lingxiao Sect and the imperial court, but they didn't fly over. How can you do it alone? You have no brains!"
After that, he pointed to the back and ordered, "Go, help carry the sedan chair for Master Chu."
Qin Chuan: “…”
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
"Sister, come up quickly."
Miss Qin walked to the bow of the boat and called softly to the shore.
Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to extend his hand and said, "Miss, the boat is unstable, I will help you up."
Before Miss Qin could reach out her hand, a jade hand suddenly stretched out from the side, with a faint smile on her face, and said: "Qingzhou, come, help your mother-in-law up first."
Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched, and when she was wondering whether she should help, Qiu'er quickly went up to her and stretched out her hand, holding her, and said obediently: "Madam, I will help you."
Song Ruyue glanced at someone, got on the boat, and after she stood firmly, she stretched out her hand and said, "Jianjia, mother will help you."
Miss Qin also glanced at someone before she stretched out her snow-white jade hand.
Luo Qingzhou was a little embarrassed. Seeing that there were so many people, he quickly said, "There's an empty seat in the boat next to me. I'll go sit there to avoid too many people and it being unsafe."
After saying that, after Miss Qin came up, he quickly jumped off the bow of the boat.
"Son-in-law, can Xiao Bailing and Chanchan sit with you? But you can't bully us."
The clear and melodious sound of the lark rang out by the river.
This voice seemed to have magical power. Many people couldn't help but look at her when they heard it.
Luo Qingzhou boarded another small boat.
Bailing and Xia Chan followed and entered the boat awning.
At this time, Nangong Meijiao also brought Aunt Mu and Aunt Jiu onto the boat.
Bai Ling smiled and said, "Princess, long time no see."
Nangong Meijiao was wearing a red dress today, and her tall and graceful figure was still exquisitely displayed.
She sat down next to him, with a cold face, and did not answer.
The boat began to move forward slowly.
At this time, Prince Duan's voice suddenly came from a small boat not far away: "Mr. Luo, the scenery on the river is extremely beautiful. You are talented and good at poetry. In this situation, can you write a poem to add fun to our crossing of the river?"
As soon as this was said, other officials also said, "That's right, that's right! Master Luo, please sing a song!"
At this time, Miss Qin's voice suddenly came from the boat next to them: "Brother-in-law, sing a song!"
Then, Song Ruyue's voice suddenly came from the boat: "Wei Mo, what did you call him?"
Miss Qin Er's soft voice sounded: "I'm sorry... Mother, I called Wei Mo the wrong name... Next time, I won't dare to do it again..."
"snort!"
On other small boats, people also cheered, "Mr. Luo, sing a song! Mr. Luo, sing a song!"
Luo Qingzhou found it hard to refuse the invitation, so he hesitated for a moment, walked out of the boat awning, came to the bow, and looked at the scenery on the river with his robe fluttering.
At this time, everyone fell silent and looked at him.
On the small boat next to them, Miss Qin Er also poked her head out from under the awning.
Luo Qingzhou looked at the red sun on the river, the trees by the river, the clouds above the river, and the mortals and warriors on the boat. For some reason, the moon-white figure suddenly appeared in his mind again.
He pondered for a moment, then began to recite: "At sunrise, the flowers on the river are redder than fire; in spring, the river water is as green as blue. Riding a boat and riding the wind, traveling through heaven and earth, why should I care about immortality and mortal life..."
"It's called Family Tour."
On the boat next to him, someone's cold eyes seemed to be blown by wind, causing ripples...
