The inside and outside of Hou's Mansion are already covered with red, whether it's real joy or fake happiness, at least the inside and outside of Hou's Mansion is full of joy.
The Danxia Courtyard was brightly lit, and clusters of red lanterns hung down, illuminating the doorway bright red.
The maids all changed into beaming red in response to the occasion. Several bridesmaids surrounded Gu Yuqi, grooming and grooming her.
Gu Yuqi sat on the pear wood stool like a wood carving, with neither joy nor sorrow on her face, she was like a doll at the mercy of others, she would move when someone called her, and she would just sit if she was not called.
She went to see her mother, and she was still sleeping peacefully. His Highness Wang An specially appointed someone to protect her, and it was said that it was the elder of the Dark Pavilion.
When she got married in the previous life, her mother had passed away. But now it looks like this.
Even in two lifetimes, the mother has not been able to see with her own eyes how beautiful her daughter is when she is married.
The Hou's mansion was attacked by bandits, in order not to lose face in front of Prince An, Gu Huaizhong still gritted his teeth and sold the two villas. I pooled some silver and bought a dowry that wasn't too ugly. These two Zhuangzi seemed to have dug out Liu Yue's heart, and she suffered from pain for several days.
She also wanted to tell Gu Huaizhong that Gu Yuqi was just a side concubine anyway, so let it be so-so. Helplessly, Gu Huaizhong was someone who wanted face, and since the concubine was from the Xia family, Gu Huaizhong thought that he couldn't be much worse than others. Just dumbfounded.
Gu Yuqi's wedding dress and hairdo are all new works. Because she is a side concubine, she can't wear red, so her wedding dress is vermilion. Gu Yuqi herself doesn't like embroidery. The wedding dress is only symbolically decorated with red coral beads, which looks very plain.
She is a side concubine and cannot wear a phoenix crown. She just put a small phoenix hairpin on the side of her hair, after she is dressed up. Even though she was glamorous, she couldn't tell she was a bride. It's just a little more grand than her usual attire.
Gu Yuqi looked at herself in the mirror, laughed at herself, and let Xi Niang cover her with a red hijab.
The side concubine keeps everything simple, there is no dragon and phoenix on her hijab, no mandarin ducks, only a rich and noble begonia, which is a bit of a flower.
Today, Prince An was overjoyed, and at the same time married the two concubines into the mansion. The usually low-key Prince An's Mansion also became a high-profile one. Shop to the end of the street. From time to time, the maids of the palace would come out with small baskets to spread candy, causing the children all over the street to laugh and make noise, it was really a lively scene.
Follow the rules. His Royal Highness Prince An should go directly to Anle Hou Xia's house to meet his concubine Xia Ying.
But Prince An's cavalry team had just set off from the palace, and before they reached Xia's house, something happened in front of Xia's house.
A young man in plain clothes quietly approached the door of Xia's house, taking advantage of the bustle of the door, he approached Xia Shuangcheng who was welcoming guests in front of the door.
The young man's eyebrows were picturesque, but there was endless anger. He raised his slender arms, and a cold light flashed in his hand. He heard a puff, and then Xia Shuangcheng screamed and fell into a pool of blood. A dagger cut a long gash in his back, blood spattered, spraying dots on the stone lion in front of Xia Mansion. The young man didn't seem to intend to kill him, but just wanted him to suffer, so the scar was very long, almost from the vest to the waist, and the blood flowed out quickly, soaking Xiashuangcheng's clothes.
The Xia family was in chaos immediately. After the boy scratched Xia Shuangcheng, he didn't run or avoid it. Instead, he threw the knife aside and looked up to the sky with a long smile, looking extremely crazy.
Xia Yan panicked immediately, and ordered someone to arrest the boy in white while having the injured Xia Shuangcheng carried in.
The young man's slender arms were pinched by a group of ferocious servants, but he still did not lower his head, "I come from Uncle Ping'an's mansion, and I have a reputation. Even if I meet an official, I don't have to bow down. How dare you Take me!"
The boy's self-reporting of his family startled the servants. A brick falling from the sky in the capital might kill a nobleman. The boy didn't run away after he hurt someone. The servant next to Xia Shuangcheng recognized the young man, and immediately let go of his hand, this... This is clearly the one who was forcibly snatched away by his own family a few days ago.
It's over, people came to settle accounts... The servants all looked at each other, and seeing someone let go, the others hesitantly followed his subordinates and let go.
"Nonsense! Where did the villain come from, dare to hurt my son! Someone, beat him to death!" Xia Yan was so angry that he was about to die, and Prince An's wedding party was about to arrive, and this kind of trouble happened here. , and his son has been stabbed now, and his life and death are unknown. How can he still think about marrying his daughter!
"Let me see who dares to do it!" The young man broke free from the servant and took out a token from his waist.
Fuck her uncle's old widow!
If the jade pendant of the eldest princess' mansion is not put away properly, why is it messing around with others!
Since the Gengzi Rebellion, the things in the Princess's Mansion have become more valuable. The Princess's order was handed over by Prince An to mobilize the garrison troops in the capital to break the siege of the capital. The emperor is the eldest, and the eldest princess is the second. What kind of empress and concubine are all standing aside. No matter how close you are, you can't compare with other siblings!
Although the young man is holding the jade pendant from the eldest princess' mansion, which is not as expensive as the eldest princess Ling Jin, but seeing the jade pendant as a princess in person is no small matter.
"If you hurt your son, I will explain it myself, but now I come here with the elder jade pendant to take your son to the imperial court!" The boy's brows were full of awe.
Ah, what is this called!
Xia Yan had no brains to think about how the eldest princess jade pendant ran into the young man's hand. In the area of Gyeonggi, seeing the eldest princess jade pendant was like seeing the eldest princess in person. He took the eldest princess jade pendant to take his son away. of.
It's just that the son has been injured, so how could it be possible to walk with him. But the eldest princess jade pendant is not fake, Xia Yan has now become an ant on the hot pot, a mess. This young man obviously hurt his son, but he couldn't seduce others, and now he was threatened instead.
"Hou Ye, Hou Ye!" A family member of Xia Mansion ran over and knelt down in front of Xia Yan.
Xia Yan took a closer look, this is the servant he sent to the street to watch the wind, as soon as Prince An's welcoming cavalry arrived, he would immediately light a firecracker and notify this side, so that this side can get ready.
"What's the matter?" Xia Yan stomped.
"Prince An's cavalry has reached the street but refuses to move forward." The servant said panting as he ran.
"Why!" Xia Yan asked angrily, wondering if he didn't burn incense this morning.
"King Anqing heard that there was blood in front of Xia's mansion, and said it was unlucky, so he changed his way to Dingyuanhou's mansion! He seems to be very angry and wants our mansion to figure it out!" The servant said hurriedly, saying After he finished, he wiped the sweat off his face. He ran all the way just now, and almost lost his soul.
"Alas!" Xia Yan sighed heavily, wishing to spurt out a mouthful of old blood. What the hell is this called! This was Xia Ying's day of great joy! But it got to this point. Well, now even Prince An dislikes the blood at the door of his house, so he refuses to come to pick up his daughter.
What can he say? What can he do!
Obviously my daughter is the protagonist of today's wedding, but she was quarreled by that boy who jumped out of nowhere. Now that she has recovered, she has not only suffered bad luck, but also seen blood. It is reasonable for His Royal Highness Prince An not to come to the door Even if Xia Yan wanted to go to His Majesty to reason, he couldn't find a reason.
"Master Hou, what should we do now?" Jia Ding glanced at the crowd watching the excitement around him, and then wiped his sweat secretly.
Today, the face of Anlehou Mansion is completely lost.
"What else can I do?" Seeing the current situation, Xia Yan's scalp became numb with anxiety, and he rubbed his hands and stomped his feet, but the boy in white was unwilling to let go, and kept yelling that he would take Xia Shuangcheng to the imperial court to file a complaint.
Xia Ying, who was waiting to get into the sedan chair in Xiuge, heard the commotion in the mansion, and hurriedly sent her personal maid to inquire about the situation.
The little maid ran out, and came back not long after with a flustered expression on her face. When she told Xia Ying about the situation outside, Xia Ying's pretty face suddenly turned pale.
She took a deep breath, stabilized her mind, and looked at a nun in a red gown standing beside her.
"Nurse Li, the current situation..." She lowered her voice and asked modestly.
"Miss, don't panic." Nanny Li bowed and saluted, and said in an orderly manner, "Today is Miss's big day, and everyone in the capital knows that our lady is Prince An's official concubine. Miss is still the main concubine of Prince An's Mansion. These are accidents, no wonder Miss. The auspicious time can't be missed, if we fall behind Dingyuan Hou's mansion, then it will be a real loss. "
"What mother said is true." Xia Ying finally regained her composure, and still sat on the embroidery bed.
As expected of being sent by my aunt from the palace, her knowledge and bearing cannot be underestimated.
"Ying'er." Mrs. Xia ran back from the front hall in a hurry, and rushed into her daughter's room in a panic. "The big thing is bad!"
"Mother, don't be nervous." Xia Ying said slowly, "My daughter already knows what's going on outside."
Mrs. Xia, who was about to confide bitterness with her daughter, was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, "You know?" She was scared out of her wits when she heard her son was injured just now. Although the wound was frighteningly long, it was only a skin trauma. But now the teenagers outside are really annoying.
But these can be put aside for a while, what about entering the palace to see you, even if you see him, what can you do? The emperor is Xia Shuangcheng's uncle!
These Mrs. Xia are not worried, what makes her panic is that Prince An is not going to the Xia Mansion to pick up the bride now!
