The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there was no sign of stopping at all, but this did not affect the horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians flocking to the North City in the slightest.
On the wide road from the south city to the north city, a festive and mighty welcoming team made of red silk cloth moved forward slowly, the rain and mist were misty. Someone once said that marriage in this kind of rainy weather is very unlucky, but this wedding is the emperor's wedding day. His Majesty personally decided, who dares to object
Sitting peacefully in the spacious and gorgeous carriage all over the sky, listening to the sound of the raindrops outside the carriage patting on the body, as if the sound of breaking a dream.
Because of the rain, it was inconvenient for Bo Cho to ride a horse, so he rode in the same carriage with her and sat opposite her, with a casual and unrestrained posture.
The scarlet hijab blocked her view, and she could only see a section of the wedding robe of the man opposite him, and the slender and strong hands resting on his knees. It is those hands that will lead her into the prison of marriage. She could feel that his eyes seemed to be on her all the time, as if he was looking for something.
As a newlywed, she seems to be in a calm mood at the moment, without the shyness and joy of being married soon; without the ardent anticipation for her future husband; without the sadness and crying of saying goodbye to her family, and without the pain of marrying an unexpected one. From the heart to the surface, she was so calm and indifferent that it made people feel uneasy, as if she was just waiting to go to a certain destination to attend a wedding that had nothing to do with it.
Sitting beside her, Ling'er was rarely quiet, occasionally peeking at the man opposite, handsome and handsome, gentle as jade, he was actually one of the few men in the world who could match her master! The master should be happy if he marries him, right
The carriage passed a puddle, the body was tilted, and Man Tian instinctively reached out to find a place to help, but was held tightly by a pair of powerful hands, the palms of which were a little rough, but warm, and he said softly: "Be careful. "
Man Tian nodded lightly, stabilized his body, and said, "Thank you, General."
Fu Zhao said with a smile: "You and I will be husband and wife after a while, why should we be so polite?"
What he said was natural, without any sense of unfamiliarity. Man Tian closed his lips and did not speak again.
The carriage quickly stabilized, and her hand was still held in his palm. The woman's fingers were slender, smooth and delicate, and the skin was icy cold, as if the temperature of cold rainwater inadvertently seeped into the carriage. Bo raised his eyebrows, and said with concern: "Why are your hands so cold? Is it cold? I'll let them stop and I'll find you a robe to put on." Before she could respond, she called out, "Stop the car." .”
The carriage stopped at the sound, and someone came forward to ask for instructions, but before she could speak, Ling'er said: "Your maidservant knows where the master's robe is kept, this maidservant will look for it right away."
Man Tian said calmly: "No need, I'm not cold." There was no deliberate indifference, but it made people feel isolated thousands of miles away.
Ling'er's eyes darkened, she pursed her lips, and looked at Fu Tiao.
Fu Tiao naturally wrapped her hands tightly with both hands, and said with a smile: "Today is our big wedding day, you can't fall down without visiting. You should add some clothes. Although he smiled He said it, but there was an irrefutable force in his tone. Turning his head to Ling'er, he said, "Go quickly. "
Ling'er happily agreed, and when she got off the car, she thought to herself: The general is gentle and considerate, and he is very caring for the master, the husband the emperor is looking for for the master is still very good!
The two of them were stabbed in the carriage, and there was a very faint fragrance lingering around the tip of the nose. It smelled very good. Fu Zhao unconsciously inhaled, trying to smell it more clearly, but it suddenly faded away. go down.
Man Tian wanted to take back his hand several times, but Fu Tiao refused to let him. He squeezed his palms tightly and smiled softly: "Your hands are too cold, let me warm them up for you." No matter in his actions or tone of voice, he always So natural, like an old couple who have lived together for many years.
Cold hands can be warmed, but if a person's heart is cold, how can he be warmed? She insisted on pulling back her hand, and smiled lightly: "Thank you, General! But... I'm used to this temperature."
Fu Zhao was slightly taken aback, she is the most beloved princess of Emperor Qiyun, why would she say so calmly that she is used to the cold temperature? Even the tone of voice when he smiles can hear the sadness from the heart. He frowned, glanced at his empty palm, sat down beside her, pulled her shoulders, and sighed softly through a layer of hijab: "In the future...by my side, you will gradually get used to it." Warmth. Remember... I am not someone else, I am your husband, and I am the one who will hold hands with you for the rest of my life."
His gentle voice seems to have a certain concentration, which is strange and reassuring. Man Tian couldn't break free from his hand, feeling two scorching gazes through the red brocade, falling directly on her face, she turned her head unnaturally.
Two days ago to avoid Zongzheng Wuyou's plan, Fu Juan couldn't possibly have no doubts about her identity, but he didn't ask anything, he just used the most suitable method to give her the most perfect cooperation. She couldn't see how deep this man's mind was. And how much did he know about her? She has no way of knowing. She no longer dared to tell the truth of other people's feelings based on her feelings, because feelings can sometimes be deceiving.
Ling'er's robe was brought, and Fu Tiao put it on lightly for her, which made her feel much warmer. The mighty team continued to move forward. After walking for about a stick of incense, there was a noise outside, and it should have arrived!
There was a lot of voices, and it was very lively, which is probably used to describe the General's Mansion of the Wei Kingdom at this moment. When Fu Zhao got out of the car, everyone congratulated everyone. No matter what kind of intentions the congratulators had, he all smiled back and thanked them all. The people around watching the excitement couldn't help but exclaimed: "General Wei Guo is approachable and approachable, and he doesn't put on airs at all!"
When Man Tian was being supported by Ling'er and was about to get off the car, Fu Tzu turned around, took her hand, and said with a smile, "I'll carry you in."
Man Tian was stunned for a moment, it seems that this item is not included in the etiquette of getting married in this era! Just at this dazed effort, she only felt her body lighten, and she had already been hugged by him. The people watching the excitement around were very surprised and began to discuss in low voices. All over the sky could feel countless pairs of eyes staring at them, she quickly pushed him and said, "What is the general doing? Let me down quickly, I will go by myself."
Fu Tuo smiled gracefully: "There is water on the ground, which will stain your strawberry clothes." He clenched his arms tightly, and his eyes were filled with a gentle smile, which dazzled the eyes.
Man Tian couldn't break free, so he had no choice but to follow him.
Those with internal strength usually have better hearing. When they entered the gate of the general's mansion, she could still hear a group of women's discussions behind them.
"Princess Rong Le is really lucky. She is ugly and can marry such a good man!"
"Who says it's not?! The general is handsome, extraordinary in martial arts, and gentle and considerate to others... How could such a perfect man marry an ugly woman? Oh, it's unreasonable!"
"Shut up, you, it's a marriage bestowed by His Majesty, you're like this. Be unobstructed, be careful when your head falls...
Man Tian shook his head lightly while listening, and smiled wryly.
Red silk was knotted everywhere in the general's mansion, fluttering and swaying in the wind and rain, as if trying to break free and fly to the vast sky, but it still failed. In the blink of an eye, they had reached the lobby. Bo Choo put her down, his movements were extremely gentle.
All the guests in the hall were surprised when they saw this scene. They had never seen a bride who was carried into the hall by the groom directly before the worship, with such an intimate and natural posture. They all thought that General Bo had to marry the princess because of the emperor's order. They remembered that when he was selected by Princess Rong Le in the hall, General Fu was clearly hesitant, as if he was willing, but at this moment it seems that , but it doesn't seem to be forced to be helpless, strange!
Man Tian and the two of them arrived a little earlier than the expected time because they took the carriage. At this moment, the auspicious time for worship has not yet arrived.
The servant handed the big red flower knot in front of her, and stretched out her hand to pick it up, but was held by the waiter, who directly took her hand and walked inside, greeting the guests as she walked.
Everyone came back to their senses and rushed forward to congratulate. The happiest person was Mr. Yang, Minister of the Ministry of Rites. He tried his best to facilitate the marriage between the two countries. He sincerely congratulated: "Congratulations to General Fu on his wedding!"
Fu Zhao said with a smile, "We are happy together."
Another official congratulated each other with the same words, and the waiter also returned the gift with a smile. Master Yu also stepped forward, casually let out his customary words of congratulations, cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations to General Bo for marrying a beautiful woman!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and their eyes shot towards Master Yu. It was rumored that Princess Rong Le had an ugly face, but he congratulated her on marrying a beautiful woman, which sounds like a kind of irony.
There was no sound in the hall for a moment, and it was extremely quiet. Some of the guests held their breath, waiting for General Wa's reaction, while those noble children who were on the list before had an expression of watching a play leisurely, with a hint of gloating. Although they were reluctant to marry this princess at first, the dazzling array of imperial treasures and the princess' box after box of unusually impressive dowry made them feel uncomfortable. Secretly said: These things could have belonged to them, but it's a pity..."!
An official bumped Master Yu's arm, who was still awake, and pouted at the bride, reminding him that he had said the wrong thing.
Master Yu was stunned, and then he understood, the flattering smile still hanging on his face was awkward and stiff, and he quickly explained: "General Bo, I'm going to be an official... I don't mean to be an official..."
Fu Tzu's complexion remained unchanged, and his smile was gentle, but his eyes were a little bit darker, which made people unable to understand the meaning. He turned his head to look at the woman under the hijab, and then said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Yu, for your kind words!"
Master Yu was slightly stunned. At this moment, a voice came from outside: "The prince is here!" Zongzheng Xiaorenkuo, who was dressed in a bright yellow prince's suit, came on foot, followed by a woman. As soon as it appeared, it seemed to light up the sky, attracting everyone's attention.
Before Fu Tzu greeted him, some people who liked to flatter him went up to salute, and said with a flattering smile: "This is the new beauty of His Highness the Crown Prince.
Mrs. Xiang? It really is a beautiful country, a country and a city, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a good eye! "Before the words fell, there was echoing voices around. The beauty of the woman is true, and the flattery is also true.
Zongzheng Xiaoren rejoiced, and in front of everyone, he hugged the beauty beside him, and said with a smile, "The beauty of the country is heavenly, I think... Xianger should be sure." The beautiful face that came out of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Unfortunately, it was robbed by Lao Qi!
The woman known as Mrs. Xiang is exactly the Chen Xiang that Zongzheng Xiaoren took away from the General's Mansion two days ago. She leans in the prince's arms and smiles coquettishly. That smile makes a man's bones crumble when he sees it. Her eyes fluttered, and when she inadvertently looked at the handsome man in a red wedding dress separated by a group of officials, her pupils shrank, and there seemed to be a strange wound in her eyes that flashed away.
Only then did Fu Zhao come forward to say hello, and said with a smile, "With the beauty in your company, the Prince's expression is really different today."
Zongzheng Xiaoren felt a bit complacent, and laughed: "Thanks to the general, this prince has to thank the general for this matter."
Wo Chou said: "Where is that." From the beginning to the end, he never looked at the charming woman next to the prince.
Mantian has always disliked this kind of scene the most, but she couldn't escape, she could only stand there quietly, and all she could see was the light gray floor tiles under her feet. Suddenly, a pair of boots appeared on the floor tiles, followed by a bright yellow hem, one could tell it was the prince without a doubt. She frowned, disgusted by this man.
Zongzheng Xiaoren walked up to Mantian and glanced sideways at her, the body wrapped in the loose red robe couldn't see the original figure at all. He expressed deep sympathy for General Bo who sacrificed himself for the peace of the two countries, and unfortunately married the ugly princess. He patted Fu Tzu on the shoulder, and said earnestly with the attitude of a prince of a country: "The general is loyal to the country, and it is the most important thing for the country to be loyal to the country." If the Seventh Emperor had half as much understanding of righteousness as you, Father would not have to worry day and night."
What Zongzheng Xiaoren meant was that whoever marries her has a deep understanding of righteousness and sacrificed for the country? The world is so shallow, judging people by their appearance. Mantian pursed his lips and laughed mockingly, but he heard Fu Zhao laughing and said: "The prince is too famous, it is a great honor to marry Princess Rong Le as his wife."
They exchanged some polite words, and the housekeeper Liang of the General's Mansion came to report: "General, the auspicious time has come."
The sound of firecrackers resounded through the sky, dispelling the gloom brought by the overwhelming rain, and the entire general's mansion was filled with joy. Ritual music is played, it is a cheerful tune. The ceremonial official sang: "One worship to the world—"
They turned around and bowed to the heaven and earth outside the hall. Man Tian smiled faintly, praying to heaven and earth is really easy, it's just a matter of bending down.
"Second obeisance to the high hall—"
No one knows who Fu Zhao's parents are, are they alive or dead? There was no one in the high hall seat, so they just bowed down like that, facing the white wall and two empty chairs, on the desk, even the incense had never been burned.
"Husband and wife worship—"
This obeisance, in this age when divorce is impossible, her future is doomed. Whether it is good or bad, it is no longer up to her to choose. Fu Zhao had already bowed down, but she still stood upright, and it was only for a moment. With the bending of her body, her heart felt numb and dull at that moment. In this way, she became what people call the general's wife.
"After the ceremony, send it to the bridal chamber—"
Man Tian let out a breath of turbid air, and finally he was able to stay away from this group of people! She hated the hypocrisy of these officials. Someone came to help her and wanted to lead her to the bridal chamber, but someone stopped her and said with a smile: "General Fu, we must show us the beauty of the bride before sending her to the bridal chamber before it's too late!"
Beautiful face? ! It's really straightforward sarcasm, without detours at all. Sneered all over the sky, if they really regarded her as beautiful, why should they all bow their heads when they were in Yiqing Palace, for fear that they would be chosen
One person added: "Yes, Princess Rong Le has been here for more than two months, and no one has seen the real face of the princess! When I was in the palace last time, the princess once said that it is the custom of Qiyun country that women get married. You are not allowed to show your face in front of outsiders before saluting, but now that you have saluted, you should be able to let me see the real face, right?"
"Don't be so stingy, General Fu, I just want to pay homage to Princess Qiyun's demeanor..."
These are the children of the royal family and nobles who made fun of her in the Yiqing Palace. She smiled sarcastically, they wanted to see her jokes so reasonable. No matter what their hearts are, their purpose is nothing more than to know how ugly she is, the ugly princess who once controlled their marriage destiny.
A gust of wind blew up, rolled up the rain and mist, and poured in straight in. Everyone hurriedly moved to the two sides against the wall, and the wind blew up, and rushed straight towards her face, lifting half of the corner of the red hijab, exposing the roots of her ears A small piece of snow-white skin fell down in an instant.
The other guests in the hall were silent, they all looked at the Great General of the State of Wei to see how he would handle this matter. With the radiant Mrs. Xiang present, even an ordinary beautiful woman would be overshadowed, let alone an ugly woman! If she really uncovered the bride's hijab, she would undoubtedly bring shame on herself. At this moment, everyone thought so.
Fu Tuo's gentle smile never left the corner of his mouth, was it because of someone else's intention? Difficult to give birth to half displeasure, only after a little thought, said with a smile: "Although the princess is already married to the general wife, but the identity of the princess..." After all, it is different, and it involves the customs of Qiyun Kingdom, it depends on the princess the meaning of. I don't know the princess... what do you think? "The sentence identities are different, implying them that this is not just a princess, but also a symbol of peace between the two countries.
Those aristocratic children are naturally not stupid, after hearing what Bo Tuo said, they already understood seven or eight points, although they were unwilling, they had no choice but to give up for the time being. Zongzheng Xiaoren said at the right time: "Okay, today is General Bo's big day, no one is allowed to make trouble here, you want to admire the princess's demeanor, there will be opportunities in the future. Hurry up and send it to the bridal chamber."
This is a perfect sentence, not only to help Fu to rescue him, but also to seize the opportunity to show his incomparable status and establish his prestige in front of all officials, but unfortunately, the sky always does not follow people's wishes, and he does not know it is him. It was too sudden, or for some other reason. He just finished speaking, only to hear a cold voice from outside the hall: "Wait!!"
When Man Tian heard this voice, his body shook suddenly and became extremely stiff.
He... finally... still came!
