On the eve of the wedding, the whole palace was busy up and down, and no one could sleep well. Only Li Rong, who slept until dawn, was full of vitality and radiance.
She had nothing to worry about. The only thing she was worried about was the news that the Princess Mansion gave her last night, saying that Pei Wenxuan was going to give her a gift so that she didn't have to thank her.
She was a little flustered when she heard this, always feeling that Pei Wenxuan was going to do something unreliable.
But as soon as it came, she didn't think much about it.
When she got up in the morning, she started dressing according to the procedure, and then went to meet the Empress Dowager, the Emperor and Empress in turn. After lunch, she changed into her wedding dress and waited for the auspicious time.
All of this is not much different from the last life, but in the last life, she actually didn't know who she was marrying, and she was anxious, looking forward, and a little bit afraid of the future.
So she was always asking the people next to her, what kind of person Pei Wenxuan was, did he really look as good as in the painting, how was his family, he…
Thinking of her previous life, Li Rong couldn't help laughing out loud. At this time, the sound of the ceremony officer singing and drinking auspicious words came from outside. Jing Lan walked in and said with a smile, "Princess, the time is up, get up."
Li Rong responded, raised her hand and blocked her face with a golden fan with embroidered peony.
The fan covered all her vision, Li Rong lowered her eyes, and felt that someone was helping her up from the left and right. Li Rong stepped forward, wearing a thick and heavy attire. However, Li Rong was extremely relaxed, with a body like a cultivator of bamboo, walking like a lotus, and her posture was dignified and elegant, with a luxury that ordinary people could not match.
The royal family of the Tian family, the century-old high gate, and the noble clan are adversarial. You may not see the difference on weekdays, but the moment you add the costumes, you will notice the subtle difference. It is like making tea in a clear spring. Wherever the landscape is, there is a distinction between the lips and the teeth.
Li Rong moved forward with the guidance of others. She felt that she was stepping on the soft red carpet, and felt that there were petals falling on her around her. She heard the ceremony officials standing beside her, chanting words of blessing as she passed by. A joyful, distant music came from not far away.
She walked for a long time, not knowing where she stopped, Jinglan reminded next to her, "His Royal Highness, we are at the gate of the palace."
Li Rong responded, and then came the voice of the ceremonial officer asking her to thank the emperor and empress.
Li Rong was supported by the maid next to her and turned to face Li Ming and Shangguan Yue who were dressed up. Then Li Rong was supported by others, knelt down slowly, and saluted Li Ming and Shangguan Yue.
Her movements were steady, even when she bowed her head and bent over, the pendant on her body didn't move even a bit. Li Ming looked at Li Rong and bowed, his voice was hoarse, and he said the words of blessing that he had prepared.
Afterwards, the official sang to pay respects to Shangguanyue again, and Li Rong bowed again in the direction of Shangguanyue.
Shangguan Yue looked at Li Rong and her eyes were red, but she still took care of her manners and read out her congratulations to her daughter with a crying voice.
Afterwards, the attendant helped Li Rong up after the ceremonial officer finished reading the congratulatory speech. Li Rong had just stood up, and was about to turn and leave following the maid's movements, when she felt that someone came forward and suddenly held her hand.
"Rong'er," Shangguanyue's voice choked, "you want to live well, promise mother, you want to live well."
Hearing this, Li Rong couldn't help but feel sour for a while, she restrained her emotions and said gently, "Don't worry about the mother, the son can come back to visit the mother every day in the future, it is the same as before, don't be too much. Sadness, loss of manners."
After listening to Li Rong's persuasion, Shangguan Yue slowly let go.
Li Rong turned around and was supported by someone to the front of the horse. She felt a pair of steady hands reaching out to support her and said, "Sister, I will block the car for you."
The wedding banquet was held in the Princess Mansion, and Pei Wenxuan would bring the Pei family to the Princess Mansion to arrange it in advance.
According to the custom of Daxia, on her way from the palace to the princess' residence, there will be people blocking the car, and the palace will specially send a person in front to throw money to these people to clear the way, which is to block the car. Li Rong originally thought that a ceremony officer would be arranged, but unexpectedly, it was the Crown Prince who blocked the car in person.
Li Rong didn't know what was wrong. She clearly felt that after living for so many years, she shouldn't have so many emotions, but when she heard Li Ming's hoarse voice, she felt that Shangguan Yue was holding her hand and being supported by Li Chuan. The moment she got into the car and drove her away, she felt that she suddenly felt like she was eighteen years old.
She also thought that she was loved and loved, and that she would be happy and sad because of a few words from her family.
She sat in the car and opened the gate of the palace with time and time. She has been trying to restrain her emotions and let herself think about things that will make her calm and happy.
For example, after the palace gate opened, Pei Wenxuan would stand in front of the palace gate and wait for him.
Pei Wenxuan will say something nice to her after a while.
In fact, it was supposed to be done by Pei Wenxuan's brother. Pei Wenxuan would just kneel and greet her with the Pei family in front of the princess' mansion.
But in the last life, Pei Wenxuan didn't have a reliable brother. Pei Wenxuan didn't dare to hand over such a big thing to his brother, or maybe no brother was willing to do it, so Pei Wenxuan came by himself, and then wrote a widely circulated article. The "Introduction to the Phoenix", which was read as a congratulatory speech in front of the palace gate, probably meant that it was a blessing from God that he could marry her, and he did not dare to live up to this blessing, so he wanted to come and pick her up himself.
She didn't think about it at the time, but now she thinks about what nonsense logic this is.
At that time, she was sitting in the sedan chair, listening to him recite poetry, feeling shy and joyful, but she didn't think much about it.
If you think about it at the time, you will know how difficult it was for Pei Wenxuan at that time.
If you are not alone, how can you be so grandstanding
Li Rong thought to herself, she felt that Pei Wenxuan was also a little pitiful for a while. This kind of emotion slightly diluted her sadness. She took a deep breath and heard the sound from outside, and felt that the front curtain was being rolled up, and then listened to the message from the front. A familiar voice came: "Wei Chen Su Rongqing, on behalf of the adopted brother Pei's Wen Xuan, welcome Princess Pingle."
Hearing this, Li Rong's eyes widened suddenly, she froze in place, and then she heard Su Rongqing begin to recite the words of praise written by Pei Wenxuan.
When Su Rongqing came, Pei Wenxuan would naturally not write "Introduction to the Phoenix", as he did in the previous life, and Su Rongqing read it quietly in front of him.
From the initial surprise, she quickly calmed down. Li Rong listened to Su Rongqing reciting her praises. At the end, she heard Su Rongqing's voice pause, but he quickly continued: "Lovesickness can be pursued. The sun and the moon, I hope to see the peach blossoms in the coming year."
This is Pei Wenxuan integrating the love poems given to her by Su Rongqing in the previous life into this parallel essay.
Although the parallel prose was not written by Su Rongqing, it carried the shadow of Su Rongqing.
Li Rong couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, regret, sorrow, mixed with a bit of unspeakable helplessness, and, vaguely, unspeakable, complete.
She had been with Su Rongqing for twenty-five years in her last life, and she could not understand what kind of relationship it was.
But every once in a while, there are indeed some regrets.
I felt that perhaps Su Rongqing should be given an identity.
However, at this moment, in an invisible way, this regret seems to be filled, and it seems like a farewell.
This emotion is too complicated, and the superimposition of the previous emotions makes her rarely confused.
Fortunately, she didn't need to do too much, so she held the fan in her hand and sat quietly in the car, and then after listening to the ceremonial officer and Su Rongqing question and answer according to the procedure, the car curtain in front of her was lowered.
Before the curtain was lowered, she quietly lowered the fan and saw Su Rongqing not far away.
He was the same as he remembered, wearing a white robe and a jade crown, quietly watching her carriage.
He seemed to notice that she was peeking at him, and Li Rong hurriedly resumed her movements, feeling a little flustered.
Fortunately, the carriage moved forward slowly, so that she didn't have time to panic, and she heard the noise of the surrounding people, calling her name loudly. In auspicious words, ask the people to get out of the way.
At dusk, she finally arrived at the gate of the princess' mansion. Sitting in the carriage, she heard Pei Wenxuan's familiar voice: "Wei Chen Pei Wenxuan, I have seen Your Highness."
As he spoke, he heard the sound of a group of people kneeling down.
Li Rong didn't move, but she heard the curtain in front of her being pulled open. Then the maid came forward and helped her out of the carriage from left to right. Then Pei Wenxuan stepped forward and put a piece of red silk in her hand. Wen Xuan led her in front, and the maid next to her supported her left and right. After leading her across the brazier, she walked all the way into the lobby.
Then they fought side by side, holding a piece of red silk in each hand, Pei Wenxuan lowered his voice and asked in a low voice, "Do you like the gift I gave you?"
"Go back and talk."
As soon as Li Rong heard that there was a bit of a call for credit in his tone, she became angry and warned him coldly with restraint.
Pei Wenxuan's heart skipped a beat, and he had a somewhat ominous premonition. But after thinking about it seriously, he realized that Li Rong probably just couldn't think about it for a while, and this was something that needed his guidance. Now it's normal to blame him. After talking about it, Li Rong figured it out.
He sighed silently, listening to the ritual officials singing and drinking, just like Li Rong in his previous life, he bowed to the king of heaven and earth, and then bowed to each other.
Pei Wenxuan clearly remembered that Li Rong's phoenix crown pierced his head when he bowed to each other in the last life, so he was prepared this time and stayed away from her.
And Li Rong wanted to vent, so she bent down a bit more than normal, trying to make Feng Guan poke forward a little, thinking that she could poke him like the previous life, he had to endure it better.
Pei Wenxuan sensed her intention when she bent over, and wanted to take a small step back, Li Rong directly lowered her voice: "You dare?!"
Pei Wenxuan also knew that in the public, he didn't dare to move any more, so he could only bite the bullet and take a blow from Li Rongfeng's crown,
Li Rongzhi pierced him, and her heart suddenly felt a little more cheerful. After she got up, she was supported by the maid and went to the backyard. Pei Wenxuan was then released to accompany the wine. Pei Wenxuan raised his hand to cover the pierced forehead, and Li Chuan walked over. Behind him, he glanced at him and said, "What are you doing with your head covered? Is your brain broken?"
Pei Wenxuan: "..."
This sister and brother are really the same, and it's not a loss that they came out of a mother's womb.
"His Royal Highness is joking," Pei Wenxuan put down his hands, "His Royal Highness sit first, Wei Chen will come to entertain you later."
"What are you entertaining?" Li Chuan rolled up his sleeves. "Let's go, this child orphan will help you entertain them. You control it. Don't go to see my sister when you're drunk."
Having said that, Li Chuan picked up Pei Wenxuan, and together with Su Rongqing, who had been chatting with others, greeted everyone to the table.
Today, almost all the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty came. Su Rongqing was the prime minister invited by Pei Wenxuan. He was familiar with everyone in the court, and with Li Chuan, no one dared to embarrass Pei Wenxuan for a while, and he would not drink too much alcohol on purpose. But there were too many people who couldn't stand it. Su Rongqing and Li Chuan drank first, leaving Pei Wenxuan alone to finish the last table one by one.
At the beginning of the period, he would still take it easy, but as soon as Su Rongqing and Li Chuan left, no one persuaded him. In the future, he just listened to people wishing him and Li Rong. For some reason, he would finish the glass without any ambiguity.
Whether he was drunk or not, he couldn't tell whether he was drunk or not. He was smiling all the time, and his expression was calm. He looked like a normal person. He was a little drunk, but it shouldn't be a big deal. After chatting with everyone, he went to see Li Chuan and Su Rongqing who were resting on the side. Su Rongqing calmed down a bit, Li Chuan was still covering his head and felt a little uncomfortable. Pei Wenxuan looked at the two of them and couldn't help but feel Said: "You guys take a rest first, I'll go back first."
Su Rongqing nodded, waved her hand and said nothing, Pei Wenxuan hesitated for a moment, then bowed: "Thank you brother Su today."
"Go."
Su Rongqing finally said, "Don't let the beauty down."
Pei Wenxuan laughed: "Don't let me down."
After Su Rongqing heard what he said, she raised her head a little blankly. Pei Wen announced a salute, turned her head and said to Li Chuan, "His Royal Highness, Wei Chen retire."
"You treat my sister well," Li Chuan said hoarsely, "I'm just a sister, you treat her well, you know?"
When Pei Wenxuan heard this, even if he knew that Li Chuan was talking drunk, he still raised his hand in front of him and saluted solemnly: "Wei Chen obeys the order."
Li Chuan felt a little uncomfortable. He turned his head and waved his hand, signaling Pei Wenxuan to leave quickly.
Pei Wenxuan was led to the backyard by his servant, the lantern. In fact, he was very familiar with this princess mansion, but everyone treated him as the first time and guided him carefully. He felt a little strange.
When he got to the door, he saw Jinglan Jingmei standing by the door. When he looked up to see him coming, they both pursed their lips and smiled. That scene instantly overlapped with the previous life, and Pei Wenxuan couldn't help but be stunned.
The maid next to me called softly, "Consort?"
Pei Wenxuan was in a trance, nodded and said, "Let's report."
"His Royal Highness," Jinglan turned her head in, "the concubine is here."
"Come in."
Li Rong's voice came from inside, Pei Wenxuan didn't know what to do, and when he heard Li Rong's voice, he suddenly became a little nervous.
Jinglan pushed open the door and led Pei Wenxuan in, and then a group of people came in, carrying a lot of plates, standing on the side one by one.
Pei Wenxuan was brought in front of Li Rong, he looked at the girl in front of him, she was wearing a different wedding dress from the previous life, the original peony was changed to a phoenix, this change made him feel that this wedding was not the same. A repeat, it seems to be a brand new, different wedding. Because it was similar but not the same as Pei Wenxuan's memory, Pei Wenxuan suddenly had some expectations. He looked at Li Rong and couldn't help but be a little stunned.
Everyone smiled and glanced at each other, and the maid brought the first plate, which contained pen, ink, and rice paper, and brought it to Pei Wenxuan.
"Consort," Jinglan said respectfully, "please write a poem but fan."
Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan came back to his senses. Li Rong held up his fan and said indifferently, "Write well, if you don't write well, I'll make you look good."
Hearing this, the girls in the room burst into laughter, and Pei Wenxuan felt a little helpless. He took the pen, and after a moment of hesitation, he put it down.
Half-awake, half-drunk, half-life dreaming, the bright moon is bright in this period.
If there is a half-review of the beautiful woman, Cangshan will not be old and I will not leave.
Pei Wenxuan wanted to write casually, but after writing, he couldn't control it. After writing this, the maid next to him came to pick it up. Pei Wenxuan couldn't help but hold down the page again, and the maid raised her head in doubt: "Consort? "
Pei Wenxuan froze and didn't move. He felt a little embarrassed, as if someone was prying into his heart, and he felt that his actions at this time were even more embarrassing.
He didn't move, and the maid didn't dare to move either. Li Rong, seeing that there was no movement beside him, said directly, "Is the poem written?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, I have written it."
The maid said, looked up at Pei Wenxuan, and said cautiously, "Consort?"
Pei Wenxuan was quite at a loss to withdraw his hand. Li Rong already knew that he had written it, and it would be too deliberate to write it again.
It's just that Fan Shi usually praises the beauty of girls, and he always feels that he is a bit too embarrassed to swear when he comes up.
In particular, the half-awake, half-drunk, half-life dream was written earlier. In Li Rong's opinion, could it be a hint of their past life.
The more Pei Wenxuan thought about it, the more flustered he became. He didn't dare to think too much. He pretended to be calm and waited for Li Rong to take the poem. Li Rong raised the fan in one hand and read the poem in the other. Poor, but I don't know why, when she saw it, she was still somewhat moved.
Perhaps it was the half-awake, half-drunk, half-life dream that made her empathize.
Or maybe it was the phrase "I will never leave Cangshan when I don't get old", which made her yearn a little bit.
Li Rong restrained her emotions and said with a smile, "It's really good."
Saying that, Li Rong slowly put down her fan.
The first thing to show is her eyes. She has a pair of smart and beautiful eyes, which seem to be phoenix eyes outlined by brush and ink, with a little smile.
That smile was different from the previous life. In the last life, she looked at him at this moment with joy in her shyness, but now she looks at him like an old acquaintance, with a faint laugh.
Then came her tall nose, her thin lips that had been dyed, and the lines of her entire face, with a touch of luxury in her beauty, which made Pei Wenxuan stunned for a while.
The maid next to her wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. Li Rong saw that Pei Wenxuan had not spoken for a long time, and couldn't help laughing again: "Is the concubine still satisfied?"
"Satisfied." Pei Wenxuan subconsciously recovered and blurted out.
The people next to him burst out laughing out loud. Li Rong took the peanuts from the bed and threw them at him. She laughed and said, "Bold, dare to speak to this palace like that."
Hearing Li Rong's voice and smiling, Pei Wenxuan slowly regained his senses and said hurriedly, "It was my fault," Pei Wenxuan smiled and bowed, "I hope the princess forgives her sins."
"I'm too lazy to talk to you."
Li Rong glanced at him and stood up. The maid next to him brought up the plate again. Li Rong held up the wine glass and raised her chin to Pei Wen. Pei Wenxuan lowered her head and chuckled. Ring over, toast to his lips.
Pei Wenxuan raised his eyes and glanced at Li Rong, who was close to him. Li Rong saw him looking at her and raised her eyebrows: "What do you see me doing?"
"Beautiful women serve wine," Pei Wenxuan smiled lightly, "How can you not look at beautiful women?"
"How about a few more drinks then?" Li Rong asked with a smile, "Would you like a jar for you?"
"That's enough," Pei Wenxuan said hurriedly, "one cup is enough."
After speaking, the two drank the wine in one go.
Then I said some auspicious words along the process, and finally the whole process was completed, and everyone withdrew.
As soon as the crowd retreated, the two of them were immediately discouraged. Li Rong's whole body softened. She sat directly on the edge of the bed, leaned against the bed rail, and sighed, "I'm so tired."
Pei Wenxuan sat next to her, leaned on the other side, and sighed, "Me too."
The two remained silent, and after a while, Li Rong couldn't help but say, "Why didn't they help me remove the phoenix crown and take off my clothes, so that I could sleep better?"
"It's probably the husband's business."
Pei Wenxuan blurted out, and Li Rong couldn't help but look over after hearing this.
Pei Wenxuan sensed Li Rong's gaze, turned his head to look over, and between the eyes, Pei Wenxuan felt an ominous premonition: "What do you want to do?"
"Do you know how much my phoenix crown weighs?"
"You know," Pei Wenxuan raised his finger to his hair crown, "How much is this on my head?"
"Am I heavy?"
After Li Rong asked, Pei Wenxuan was silent, Li Rong leaned on the bed rail and beckoned: "Quick, come to dismantle."
"Oh my God."
Pei Wenxuan whimpered in pain, but he still accepted his fate. After all, now they don't want to call anyone in to help them remove their crowns and undress.
Pei Wenxuan picked up the last bit of energy, first raised his hand to remove his hair crown, took off his heavy coat, then climbed onto the bed, knelt behind Li Rong, and began to remove the phoenix crown for Li Rong.
It's not the first time for him to do it. The last time he did it, he vaguely remembered some procedures, and yawned while taking it apart.
Li Rong felt that he was fighting against Feng Guan behind her back, and with the last trace of sanity, she said with difficulty: "Pei Wenxuan."
"Um?"
"Why did you ask Su Rongqing to pick me up?"
"Can we discuss this issue again tomorrow?"
Pei Wenxuan took off Li Rong's phoenix crown, moved it out of the bed with various fixed hairpins, and put it on the table.
Li Rong leaned on the bed, looked at Pei Wenxuan who came back exhausted, and said, "Pei Wenxuan."
Pei Wenxuan didn't sit on the bed yet, he just responded, "Huh?"
"I still have clothes to take off."
"Do you want me to take off my clothes?" Pei Wenxuan turned back with a bitter face, "Can you take it off yourself?"
"I'm so tired."
Li Rong turned to look at him: "And as you said, it was taken off by her husband."
Pei Wenxuan choked, Li Rong stared at him with a pitiful look in his eyes, Pei Wenxuan sighed and could only say, "You stand up."
Li Rong supported herself to stand up, and Pei Wenxuan helped her remove the belt first, then grabbed all the clothes into a handful, and peeled them off together, leaving a single shirt inside.
Li Rong felt that she was instantly relieved, and fell directly onto the bed.
Pei Wenxuan grabbed a pile of clothes and looked at Li Rong who had already crawled onto the bed consciously. He felt tired as never before and couldn't help but say, "You sleep in the bed, where do I sleep?"
"Sleep where you like to sleep."
Li Rong got into the quilt: "Bengong is going to rest."
He wants to rest too! !
When Pei Wenxuan thought that he was going to lay the floor at this time, he felt hopeless.
He took a deep breath and told himself not to be too anxious. After putting away Li Rong's clothes, he turned around and went to the cabinet. Li Rong heard Pei Wenxuan's voice turning over the cabinet, she thought about it, stuck her head out, looked at Pei Wenxuan and said: " Would you like to sleep together?"
Pei Wenxuan froze and stammered, "No... not good?"
Li Rong thought about it, she didn't care about this, but Pei Wenxuan was still very cautious in this kind of thing. Now that they said they were allies, Pei Wenxuan would definitely keep his body like a jade to the end. Although her idea was only to give him half of the bed, Pei Wenxuan probably felt that the whole bed had tarnished his virginity.
So Li Rong decided to respect him and said, "Oh, then I'll rest first."
After speaking, Li Rong closed her eyes and fell asleep, she was really sleepy and tired.
Pei Wenxuan turned his back to Li Rong, a little surprised, is this the end
Li Rong no longer persuade him
In fact, he still… still… really wanted to go to bed.
He was really too tired right now, and he didn't want to hit the floor at all. He could promise not to touch Li Rong's finger and never cross the line.
The sound of Li Rong's steady breathing quickly came over, and Pei Wenxuan hesitated for a moment before he made a major decision.
He decided to go to bed.
Even if Li Rong kicked him off, he would have to sleep on the bed.
After making this decision, he felt a lot more relaxed, hugged the quilt, and returned to bed happily.
The bed was huge, and Li Rong curled up in the innermost position, wrapping her whole body with a quilt. A small person, without her usual arrogant and proud temperament, looked pitiful and cute.
An invisible softness slowly spread in Pei Wenxuan's heart. He spread a quilt on the very edge, and then slept in the quilt.
There was a long distance between them, and he was on the outermost side, which seemed to cut off all the wind and rain for her, and gave her a small world.
For a moment, he suddenly had a sweet, proud, indescribable feeling that he hadn't even noticed himself.
He felt like he was protecting her.
His Royal Highness Princess.
The author has something to say: [Small Theater]
Q: What do you think about the show
Li Rong: Helpless, sad, a cobweb, everyone was stuck on it, unable to move.
Su Rongqing: Conspiracy is conspiracy, blood feud.
Pei Wenxuan: ? ? ? I... I thought this was a sweet post? Aren't we here to fall in love
Everyone in the whole text cast a shocked look.
Pei Wenxuan: ... I'm sorry to bother you.
