After worshipping, a couple of newlyweds were surrounded and sent into the cave. The new house in the main courtyard of the palace has long since been cleaned up. Wearing red and hanging colors, it is not festive. The two sat down beside the wedding bed, and the bride passed a delicate golden scale: "Please lift the hijab from the groom."
Xiao Zhige did not answer, but stared at the person beside him, not knowing what he was thinking.
Without getting a response, the smile on Madam Xi's face froze, and after a while, she reminded cautiously, "Your Highness?"
Xiao Zhige finally regained his senses, glanced at her, and said lightly, "You go out first."
Madam Xi had heard of his murderous name long ago, and when she saw his cave, there was no joy on her face. She just thought that he didn't like the new princess, and didn't dare to say anything. She only glanced at An Changqing secretly and put down Jin. Lian Ma Liu went out with the others, and even closed the door thoughtfully.
In the new room, Xiao Zhige did not take the small scale, but directly lifted the unsightly red hijab. When she saw that An Changqing was not dressed as her daughter, her face improved. He frowned, as if thinking about what to say. After a long time, he asked bluntly and abruptly, "Are you hungry?"
An Changqing looked at him in surprise. He had been bowing his head before, but now he raised his eyes and carefully looked at the man in front of him—his new husband.
In the past many years, he and Xiao Zhige lived their own lives, and he never even took a good look at the fierce and violent man in the rumors. Now that I look closely, I realize that he is actually very handsome. At this time, he was just an unpopular prince. In the eyes of the courtiers, he was a waste boy who almost lost his qualifications to succeed the throne. In the eyes of the common people, he was a "killer" who killed tens of thousands of people without blinking an eye.
However, at this moment, An Changqing looked at him attentively, but found that he was just a young man with a weak general. Although his face was very serious, he was far from the cruelty that could stop a child from crying at a glance. The two black eyebrows are like swords, and there is a shallow "Chuan" pattern between the eyebrows. The eye sockets are slightly deeper than ordinary people, and the eyeballs are dark, like a deep pool with no bottom. The bridge of the nose is high and the lips are thinned, but there is a kind of natural majesty and dignity.
An Changqing stretched his brows and gave him a shallow smile. No matter whether everything is real or fantasy, he always has to take the first step. Once he listened to the rumors, which not only trapped himself, but also failed Xiao Zhige. Now, he wants to try to understand this person.
No one is born violent. Later, the ruthless and cruel emperor actually had a soft mind when he was young, and he would ask his concubine if he was hungry after the tedious wedding ceremony. It's just that everyone chose to ignore these trivial details, such as him in the past.
"Why don't you drink the wine first?" An Changqing looked at him with a smile.
Surprise flashed across his eyes again, as if he did not expect An Changqing to have such an attitude, Xiao Zhigor paused for a while before serving two glasses of wine: "Alright."
The arms were staggered, and the two drank the wine together with their necks drawn, like a pair of mandarin ducks with crossed necks.
After drinking, Xiao Zhige stood up and was about to go out to entertain the guests. When he walked to the door, he turned around and said, "The small kitchen has prepared snacks. If you are hungry, you will send someone to get them."
After speaking, without waiting for An Changqing to respond, he strode out the door.
An Changqing looked at the back of his departure, so calm and energetic, like green pines like green cypresses, how much more alive than that sullen emperor.
Xiao Zhige went to the front yard to entertain the guests, while An Changqing stayed alone in the wedding room. Looking at Xiao Zhige's attitude, he did not treat him as a woman just because he married him. He was not restrained at all, got up and moved his muscles and bones, took off his heavy hair crown, and took off his heavy wedding clothes. Without these burdens, the whole person is much lighter. He casually put on a dark red woven gold jacket, and found a hair tie to tie his long hair behind his head, and then asked An Fu, who was guarding outside, to go to the small kitchen to get snacks.
As expected, the small kitchen was stocked with all kinds of cakes, and An Changqing ate a few to soothe his hungry stomach, and then he seriously pondered the current situation.
At the beginning, he only thought that this was another fantasy he imagined.
After his death, his soul lingered, and he was trapped in the huge palace. He saw Xiao Zhige act more and more extreme and more reckless. Three years after his death, Xiao Zhige launched four or five more wars. Although he finally drove Bei Di to the depths of the grassland and occupied half of the city in Xiji, Daye also suffered heavy casualties. Years of war have left countless farmland deserted, and in winter, people are starving for thousands of miles. People who have no food can only change their children to eat, which is called purgatory on earth.
The people who were forced to survive rose up, and refugees rebelled everywhere in Da Ye. With the support of the two generals of the Zhu Kingdom, Chu Anliang and Shi Lezheng, the deposed prince Xiao Qi'an gathered 200,000 refugees to besiege Yejing under the banner of "kill the tyrant and restore peace". Battle".
That battle was extremely tragic. Xiao Zhi fought for more than ten years. He used his soldiers to become fascinated. He commanded 50,000 Guards in Yejing to compete with 200,000 refugees. It lasted for nearly a month. Almost equal to the Yejing city wall, the refugee sergeant stepped on the body of his dead companion and climbed up. And Xiao Zhige's iron armor stands on the city wall, and it is like killing spirits in the sky and entering the mortal world.
A month later, the Yejing city gate opened wide, but it was not the refugees who broke through the city, but the commander of the Imperial Guard in the city opened the city gate.
The abolished prince entered the palace with the support of the two generals of the Zhuguo and countless soldiers, and after a round of searching, he found the self-defeating Xiao Zhige in the remote Qiwu Palace.
In the past, the emperor sat in front of the window of the inner hall of Qiwu Palace and ended his life with a sharp knife.
The waste prince cut off his head and hung it above the Yejing city gate. The body was thrown into the mass grave to be fed to wild dogs. He claimed to the outside world that he killed the tyrant himself, and that he was the one who was destined to return.
Only An Changqing, who was silently watching, knew that Xiao Zhige had a plan to win. Although the number of 200,000 refugees is large, it is not a climate. Besides, 150,000 had already been killed, and the remaining 50,000 will only be available sooner or later.
But that night Xiao Zhige summoned the commander of the Imperial Guard and issued the last military order, ordering him to open the Yejing city gate and surrender.
Afterwards, the emperor sat with a jade pendant in Qiwu Palace all night, and at dawn, he chose to kill himself.
No one knew his last thoughts, only An Changqing, who was on the sidelines, caught a glimpse - the Pisces jade pendant that the emperor held in his hand before he died was a birthday gift given to him by his mother on his tenth birthday, and this jade followed. He was taken down for eighteen years until he died. An Changqing thought that the jade had been buried with him, but he did not expect it to be in Xiao Zhige's hands.
Even if it was not buried with him, it was tightly held in the palm of the hand of the dead emperor, with the ground as the coffin and the sky as the cover, and buried together in the mass grave. At that time, An Changqing wanted to pick up a straw mat to wrap his body, but he couldn't do it. He could only watch the emperor's headless corpse being eaten by vultures and wild dogs, and in the end only a desolate skeleton remained. And the Pisces jade pendant, without the cover of flesh and blood, was finally exposed in the bones, and was picked up by the beggars who were passing through the mass graves.
On that day, looking at the empty palm of the skeleton, An Changqing suddenly cried. He only felt unprecedented sadness, crying so much that his consciousness fell into chaos, and when he woke up in a daze, he had returned to the midwinter of the fifteenth year of the Qingli calendar, the day of his wedding with Xiao Zhige.
An Changqing looked down at his hands and touched his cheeks again. The touch was so real that it didn't look like an illusory dream at all.
Maybe it was God's blessing. Seeing that he lived in a mess in his last life and missed a lot, he was given a chance to start all over again.
"First Evolution"
Do it all over again, you can't make the same mistakes again.
While thinking about it, An Fu's voice rang out at the door, followed by the creaking of the door and the sound of steady footsteps. An Changqing turned to look, and saw Xiao Zhige, who was still young, walking towards him calmly.
"My lord." An Changqing smiled unconsciously and got up to meet him.
When he came to the front, An Changqing realized that he was full of alcohol, probably drinking too much. He stretched out his hand to help him, and found that Xiao Zhige was more than half a head taller than him, his body was even stronger, and his tentacles were all firm muscles and flesh.
Fortunately, although Xiao Zhige drank too much, his mind seemed to be clear, and he let him sit by the bed without making any trouble.
After putting the people in place, An Changqing took An Fu to the small kitchen to make sober soup. When he came back, he found that Xiao Zhige was staring straight at him, his eyes were unpredictable, his face was solemn, and his slightly frowning eyebrows added a bit of ferocity.
An Changqing felt a sudden shock in his heart, and instinctively became a little timid. Then he remembered the gentleness of the man who held him in his arms and comforted him over and over again, and the taut strings loosened again.
Slowly letting out a mouthful of turbid air, An Changqing sat down beside him, holding the bowl and smiling, "Your Highness, drink some sober soup first?"
Xiao Zhige's eyes fell on the thin white fingers holding the porcelain bowl, and his eyes trembled. An Changqing's hands were very beautiful. The fingers were like scallions, slender and white, and only slightly closed at the fingertips, forming a beautiful arc. The nails were neatly trimmed, and they were light pink under the flickering candlelight.
Xiao Zhige's throat rolled, and he took the hangover soup without saying a word.
After drinking, put the bowl aside, and the atmosphere sank again. Xiao Zhige was originally taciturn, while An Changqing was uneasy because of the next cave.
In the last life, he and Xiao Zhige never had a marriage.
At that time, he was only full of fear, and it was not bad that he didn't cry with a cold face to Xiao Zhige. Even when he drank the wine, he was terrified and expressionless. Later, Xiao Zhige seemed to see his fear and went to sleep in the study without saying anything. After that, he stayed in the study all the time. At that time, he was secretly happy for a long time to escape the disaster.
It's just this life, but I can't go the old way again.
He knew a little what the two men should do, An Changqing comforted himself, as long as he was fully prepared, it should not hurt. And the rumors are unbelievable, he has learned it in the last life. Xiao Zhige shouldn't be as fierce as rumored in this regard... right
An Changqing blushed and glanced at the head of the bed. There were two exquisite small porcelain jars, which should be used for that.
Clenching his fingers slightly, An Changqing tried to make his voice sound more natural: "My lord, it's getting late, why don't you go to bed earlier." The children are all red.
Xiao Zhige did not move, only his eyes deepened.
He didn't move, and An Changqing became apprehensive again. The flushing on his face also subsided, leaving only a pale white. The instinctual fear that had been suppressed rose up again, and looked at him bewildered.
The two sat side by side on the bed and were silent for a long time. Although An Changqing saw that Xiao Zhige didn't move, he didn't mean to leave or get angry. Just feel more at ease. Thinking of the jade pendant that the emperor held in his palm until his death in the previous life, he became a little more daring. He simply slammed his heart, blushed and slowly approached Xiao Zhige, put his hands on his shoulders, and took the initiative to press the man's lips.
Since the mountain does not come, it is me, and the mountain is when I go.
The man's lips were a little dry, but unexpectedly soft, with a little warmth. An Changqing rubbed against it a few times, not knowing what to do. He has been a young child in his two lifetimes. He has neither a woman nor a man. He really doesn't know much about intercourse, and offering kisses is the limit.
He was hesitating whether it was time to back away, but he was suddenly wrapped around his waist by a strong force, and the man who had been quietly teased by him suddenly turned back and held his lips. The lips and teeth were pried open, and the man's tongue drove straight in, and even kissing was like a war, with an unstoppable overbearing dominance.
An Changqing was breathless by the kiss, her arms subconsciously wrapped around his neck, and hung softly on his body.
After a long time, Xiao Zhige let go of him, his rough palm slid down the arc of his cheek, pinched his chin, his eyes scrutinized: "Aren't you afraid of me?"
He had expected that An Changqing would be reluctant in this marriage, after all, he was the one who insisted on forcibly marrying people into the house. What's more, according to the investigation by his subordinates, An Changqing also has a cousin who is very attentive to him, and the relationship between the two seems to be very close...
I was already prepared to face his scolding or cold eyes, but I didn't expect him to be so... close to myself.
Xiao Zhige's heart tightened slightly, but the strength in his hands did not relax. He stared at him with deep eyes, as if he wanted to see the bottom of his heart through this deceptive appearance.
An Changqing looked at him for a moment, and then looked away first. He licked his lips subconsciously, but tasted the salty taste of blood. Only later did he realize that the man was so rude that he bit his lip.
He raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Zhige quietly, but unexpectedly caught a glimpse of the man's reddish ears. An Changqing's uneasy heart immediately calmed down. Thinking back to the past life, I can't help but feel a little grievance and sadness. The arm that was clinging to the man's neck tightened again, An Changqing rubbed his hand in a nostalgic manner, and said softly, "I'm not afraid of you, I'm just afraid of pain..."
The young man, who has not yet reached the crown, has a face like a powder, a handsome figure, and a low and soft ending in his voice. He is not deliberately hooking people, but it is even more heart-melting. He held it in the palm of his hand, so that he would not suffer any grievances.
Xiao Zhige's fingers trembled, and he subconsciously released the restraint on his hand. He reacted with hindsight, and he acted rudely, perhaps pinching him.
Feeling the man's movements, An Changqing guessed his thoughts as soon as he rolled his eyes. He secretly laughed in his heart, and became more and more certain of his own thoughts.
This man looks fierce on the surface, but is actually very careful and gentle. An Changqing recalled all kinds of past lives, and suddenly realized that he had been indulgent and gentle to her. He softened his body and leaned into his arms, his cheeks slightly red and said: "Wait a moment, my lord... Be lighter..."
Xiao Zhige's body tensed in an instant, he pushed the person away and stood up, turned his back to An Changqing and said bluntly: "You don't have to do this, I won't force you."
After saying that, without looking at An Changqing again, he strode out of the new house. It's just that in the hurried steps, there is a little bit of embarrassment of fleeing.
