Chapter 299 The Day of Marriage

In a blink of an eye, another few days passed. The peace talks between the Song Dynasty and the State of Jin have been almost discussed and are being implemented one after another. On the other side of Tokyo, Jiao Wentong led 50,000 forbidden troops to Hebei to take over Zhending, Hejian, Zhongshan and other prefectures. It is expected that he has set foot on the ground in Hebei.

On the side of Luoyang, the wedding day of Chu Tianya has expired, and the ancient capital is decorated with lanterns inside and outside. The wedding hosted by the imperial court was no less than the crown prince's concubine or even the emperor's establishment in terms of scale and appearance, which made the people in Guannai amazed. Many people poured into the customs one after another to watch this unprecedented wedding.

After several years of wars, Hebei, Hedong and Tokyo in the hinterland of the Central Plains have suffered a lot, but the Luoyang Guanshan area has not been greatly affected, so the social environment is basically stable and the property is still rich and beautiful. The imperial court has made an edict to hold a banquet for seven days to celebrate the wedding of the king of Luoyang. At that time, there will be a big banquet in Luoyang Palace for officials and envoys from all over the world who come to watch and celebrate. Anyone who can enter Luoyang Palace can eat for free.

This is a serious extravagance and waste. Chu Tianya didn't want to be like this. But in order to lay down the way for this plot, this is the only way.

The wedding day has finally arrived.

According to the customs of the Central Plains, the bride Xiao Linglong temporarily lived in the Luoyang Palace, led by Anu Ada to guard the soldiers and horses, and there were 12 female guards nearby.

Chu Tianya put on the red groom's robe and rode on a tall horse. There was an array of strong iron armor in front of him. A large group of people and horses drove out of the Luoyang Palace. First, they wandered around Luoyang City, and then entered the wedding place in Luoyang Palace with the bride Xiao Linglong to hold a formal ceremony of worshiping heaven and earth. Formula.

When Chu Tianya patrolled the street, the whole Luoyang City was boiling. Countless officials and people came to watch to see the legendary master who got up. Tang Ang led thousands of iron armor to open the way, and there were also a large number of imperial guards sent by officials in the city. Therefore, although the atmosphere at the scene was hot, the order was also in good order.

Some important guests, such as the envoys of Jin and Xixia, as well as high-level officials and congratulatory envoys sent by Hangzhou, have been waiting at the wedding venue of Luoyang Palace.

The bride, Xiao Linglong, sat in the temporarily accurate boudoir given to her by the court in the palace, with a satisfied and intoxicated smile on her face facing the bronze mirror.

"Flying Fox, today is the happiest day of your life. I have nothing to give you as a sister. I'll give you this!" Xiao Ta Bu Yan stretched out his hand and handed a delicate small wooden box to Xiao Linglong.

"Thank you, sister." Xiao Linglong smiled slightly and reached out to take the small wooden box. When she opened it, there was a jade tiger charm lying quietly. The whole body is green and crystal clear, which is obviously not an ordinary carving.

"What is this?" Xiao Linglong was a little surprised.

Xiaota smiled and said, "This is the token that Yelu Dashi gave me when he made me queen at the founding ceremony. With this tiger charm, you can order all the subordinate ministers and generals from the Western Liao Kingdom to the prime minister, and mobilize the guard under the command of Dashi.

"Give me such an important thing?" Xiao Linglong was a little puzzled.

"It doesn't matter." Xiao Ta smiled and said, "I am no longer the queen of Xiliao, and I will not return to Liao or his side in the future. This tiger charm has also completely lost its deep meaning. It's just a jade ornament - your sister is poor now and doesn't have any gifts to show her hands. The only jade at hand is that the texture is not bad, so I'll give it to you.

"Okay, then I'll take it... Thank you very much!" Xiao Linglong put away the box and thought to herself: Did she really change her mind? ...Should I trust her? Do you believe her?

Soon after, the sound of salutes and horns sounded in Luoyang Palace, and the welcoming team of the King of Luoyang entered the palace.

The guests who have been waiting for a long time are in the same spirit, and the wedding is finally about to begin.

Of course, the main person is the current saint, Zhao Huan. There were a lot of guests at the meeting. On both sides of the Longwei Road of the main hall of Luoyang Palace, there have already stood in two rows according to the rank level. Nearly 10,000 iron armors surrounded the palace like an iron barrel. It was all the people and horses of the Jin army arranged by Meng De, all of whom were confidants.

On the main hall, there are only officials such as Zhao Huan, the queen and the general of Zai Zhi. The master of ceremonies is white, and everyone is dressed up, which is gorgeous and glamorous.

As soon as Chu Tianya appeared in the palace, the war drums rumbled to the sky, and the sergeants cheered for their master. The whole Luoyang ancient capital was almost shaking, and the level of the Luo River was full of waves.

Surrounded by the Qingwei, Chu Tianya disembarked and walked on the dragon tail road of the palace. The civil and military officials standing beside them bent down to worship together, "Congratulations to the King of Luoyang!"

"Thank you, colleagues!" Chu Tianya held his fist and saluted, and walked to the dragon's tail road step by step.

When Zhao Huan and others in the wedding hall of the main hall saw the figure of Chu Tianya, the bride Xiao Linglong's sedan chair was also carried out of a boudoir in the main hall, which immediately aroused another wave of loud cheers.

"Please ask the groom to kick the sedan chair and welcome the bride!" Bai Shu elonged his voice and said loudly.

Meng De and others came up with a smile and pushed Chu Tianya to pick up the sedan chair. Xiao Ta, the representative of Xiao Linglong's female guards and her mother's family, quit. They stopped Chu Tianya and others from going over and asked for red envelopes, Lish and other things. The two groups of people burst out laughing and laughing.

These are all in accordance with the ordinary folk customs of the Central Plains, not the practice of the royal aristocracy. Now it appears in the palace, but it is also elegant and popular, and the official queen and others who watched the ceremony are all laughing. Among the civil and military officials, there are many people who sneer at such a "vulgar" wedding, but they can only envy and hate it in their hearts - they can make as much power as they want. Who cares?

After spending a lot of time and dispersing a large number of red envelopes, Chu Tianya finally kicked out Xiao Linglong, the bride with a red head covered in the sedan chair.

The two clenched a red ball ribbon with both hands and walked into the wedding hall step by step. The deafening cheers never stopped. The excitement of the Jin military sergeants in Luoyang Palace was as if they had married Meijiao | Niang. They were all cheering hard and shaking their knives and guns. From a distance, it was a piece of silver scorching, which was magnificent.

A couple finally walked to the lobby of the wedding hall. Zhao Huan, the host, first read a congratulatory speech from the hands of Bai Wei, and then paid homage to the etiquette schedules of heaven and earth. Finally, the groom Chu Tianya rode a tall horse and went to marry the bride back to the king of Luoyang. House. There was also a wedding attended by relatives and friends, which was roughly a bridal chamber. The banquet was held in the palace. Chu Tianya, the groom, accompanied his relatives and friends in the palace and then returned to the palace to accompany these guests.

Everything went smoothly, and nothing strange happened. Today, Anu and Tang An, who were in charge of the guard, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and their tight nerves relaxed a little.

The big banquet in the palace was held. The weather was beautiful and the weather was fine, and the open-air banquet had several different tastes. After shuttled between the banquet venues, Chu Tianya sat down at the head of the official family and the queen, and also drank and ate some food.

At such a large wedding, Chu Tianya did feel a little tired. Now it's time to take a rest.

At this time, Bai Xun came over with a glass of wine, "Master, I would like to give you a toast. I wish you and the princess grow old together and have a son early!"

"Okay, thank you very much!" Chu Tianya, the groom, is very good at drinking with the guests. Even when he shuttles around the banquet hall, he is accompanied by seven or eight wine companions. Otherwise, with so many tables, he will have to drink to death. But he drank this glass of wine and then greeted him to sit beside him.

"How's it going?" Chu Tianya asked in a low voice while eating vegetables quietly.

"It's all arranged." Bai Shu looked around alertly, and then replied in a low voice, "But today, it doesn't seem to be suitable to do it."

"Let's talk about it in three days." Chu Tianya took a sip of wine and said in no hurry, "The wedding is seven days, and it's not easy to make it at the beginning today. Otherwise, it will cause a big sensation, and it will really ruin the wedding. Anyway, Feihuer needs a wedding. I don't want to owe her.

"Lord, have you made it clear to her?" Bai Shu asked.

Chu Tianya frowned, "Not yet."

Bai Xun's eyebrows flicked slightly, "That's the time! ......”

Chu Tianya raised his hand and interrupted him, "I have my own arrangement."

"Well... The princess is pregnant and can't stand too much stimulation. It's better for the master to make arrangements early.

"I know it." Chu Tianya finished a glass of wine and said, "How's Liu Ziyu?"

"It's accurate and appropriate." Bai Xun whispered, "Pioneer General Yang Zaixing will cooperate with Yue Fei to sacrifice the first knife!" ...The rest of the matter is up to Liu Ziyu's on-the-spot command.

"Okay, let's not talk about it." Chu Tianya looked around and found that Zhao Huan, the official, and Wanyan Gushen, the envoy of the State of Jin, stared at him intentionally or unintentionally, so he picked up the wine with a smile on his face and went to toast these people.

Bai Hui also sat back to his own place, and his temples couldn't help sweating coldly.

That night, in the bridal chamber.

The red candle is swaying, and the wine is fragrant.

Chu Tianya, the groom, pushed the door and entered, but saw two women sitting on the wedding bed. One is naturally Xiao Linglong, the bride wearing a phoenix crown, and the other is her sister Xiaota.

Covering the door, Chu Tianya came to the two women and picked up the two small wine glasses on the table.

"Why don't you go?" Chu Tianya suddenly said.

Xiaota stood up from **, "Flying Fox is pregnant and can't drink. I'll drink this cup of wine with you on her behalf."

"No, I'll use tea instead of wine." Chu Tianya turned his head and looked at her with Yiyi eyes. "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't beat around the way with me."

"Me! ..." Xiao Ta hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything.

"Tianya, why don't you come and remove my red head cover?" Xiao Linglong spoke.

"Yes, I almost forgot the big thing." Chu Tianya smiled and put down his glass and came over to uncover Xiao Linglong's red head.

"Wait!" Xiaota suddenly shouted.

"What are you doing?" Chu Tianya was a little annoyed.

"I... have decided!" Xiao Ta breathed deeply and said as if he were dead, "Help you!"

"Are you sure?" Chu Tianya turned his head slightly and looked at her questioningly.

"If you..." Xiaota paused for a moment with a red rhyme on his face, gritted his teeth and summoned up his courage, "Let me stay in this bridal chamber tonight, and I'll risk all this to help you!"

Xiao Linglong's body trembled gently, but made no sound.

"Absurd!" Chu Tianya whispered, "Such rude words can be said after your country?"

"This is not very rude among the Khitans." Xiaota said, "Whenever a Khitan woman gets married, the family will definitely send her family to marry, or sisters or maidservants, as a dowry to marry this man. On the bridal chamber night, they can also be present - today, I, the queen of Liao, will not do it. I want to be my sister's dowry, do you dare to have it?"

"Sister, you..." Xiao Linglong couldn't help it. "Why are you suffering? No matter how you do it, you don't have to be so cheap."

"No, I'm not a bitch. On the contrary, I'm redeeming myself." Xiao Ta turned around and said quietly with his back to the two of them, "I have no family and country, and I have been abandoned and used by my own man. Now, I don't know what the meaning of my existence is... I admit that I'm shameless, I'm cheap, and I'm shameless. I want to rely on the blessing of my own sister and survive. I don't have any extra requirements. I just ask you... King Luoyang, you can ask me. Even if I serve you and the flying fox all my life like a slave, I have no regrets.

Chu Tianya's eyebrows frowned deeply. According to his three values, his eldest aunt will take the initiative to dedicate herself on the night of the bridal chamber... This kind of thing is really unreliable.

But in the current environment, ethically speaking, it is not a big deal. In particular, Xiaota has a special identity. If she helps in the next action, the chance of success will be greatly increased.

While Chu Tianya was still thinking, Xiao Linglong stood up and said in a cold voice, "What's the conspiracy between you two? Why do you hide it from me?"

"I'm not going to hide it from you. It's him. Don't let me say it." Xiao Ta said, "That's why I deliberately stayed and told this matter in front of you. If he agrees, I will be his person tonight, and I will share my sorrow with you from now on. If he disagrees, I will be killed by the Qingwei beside him immediately when I walk out of this room - am I right, Your Highness the King of Luoyang?

Xiao Linglong waved her hand and took off the red cover, "Tianya, what's going on?"

Chu Tianya did not answer, but sat quietly at the table, picked up a glass of wine, and drank slowly.

The two women stopped talking and looked at him quietly, waiting for the answer in his mouth.

As time went by, no one spoke, and the atmosphere in the room was close to freezing.

"Tell her!" Chu Tianya suddenly opened his mouth and looked at Xiao Ta.

Xiaota didn't smoke as if he had been electrocuted, trembling with frightened all over, and then there was an ecstatic look in his eyes, "Flying Fox, he agreed - come on, I'll tell you!"

As soon as her words fell, Chu Tianya opened the door and walked out.

"Tianya, our bridal chamber, where are you going?" Xiao Linglong said in a hurry in the room.

"Just outside the door, it won't go far." Chu Tianya took a deep breath, "I'll be back in half an hour."

Xiaota took Xiao Linglong to sit in the wedding** and whispered.

Chu Tianya walked out of the door and looked up. The sky was full of stars and moon. He subconsciously glanced at the opposite roof, and then a figure stood up and punched him.

"Find a ladder. I'm going to go up to the roof."

After a while, Chu Tianya went up to the roof opposite the wedding room and sat side by side with the rosefinch. The two pulled a sheepskin wine bag each and drank silently.

Xuanwu and Gou Chen, who were guarding nearby, quietly walked away.

The rosefinch turned its head sideways and looked at Chu Tianya quietly. The two holes on the mask reflected the flexible eyes.

"Don't move." Chu Tianya suddenly said, and then reached out and touched the mask.

The rosefinch did not move, allowing Chu Tianya to take off the mask on her face.

The moon is bright and the breeze is clear.

The long-haired rosefinch in a black robe revealed her beautiful face.

The cross knife mark on the face is almost difficult to distinguish if it is not carefully distinguished.

"Very good, this scar is really about to heal." Chu Tianya smiled with satisfaction, "The name of the first magic doctor in Guanzhong is really not bragging."

"Why do you want me to cure this scar?" Without others, the rosefinch was no longer taboo and said directly, "You already have a princess. Do you still need a guard who looks exactly like the princess?"

"The princess is the princess, and the rosefinch is the rosefinch. Both are irreplaceable in my heart. Chu Tianya said softly, "And this time, your face can play a major role."

The rosefinch instantly regained a "Qingwei" look, hugged his fist and said, "Please give me an order."

Chu Tianya stretched out her hands and held her fists and patted her gently, "I don't have the right to order. I'm just asking you to do me a favor."

When Chu Tianya's hand was on the fist of the rosefinch, she trembled gently and slowly withdrew her hand.

"Then tell me!"

Chu Tianya smiled gratefully and said, "In the next few days, something important will happen. You know, the princess is pregnant and can't stand ups and downs and can't stand too much stimulation. So I need you to dress up as a princess and do everything she should do these days.

"I promise you." The rosefinch agreed without thinking.

Chu Tianya frowned slightly, "You'd better think more about it!" ...It's too unfair for you to do this. Moreover, it will directly touch the forbidden place in your heart that you least want to touch - you have always been very afraid of being mistaken for her substitute, haven't you?

"What's unfair?" The rosefinch smiled, and there were many sadness and bleakness in her smile that others could never understand. She said indifferently, "From the moment I cut my cheek with a knife, I knew what I should do and should not do in this life. Your business is my business. No matter what you want me to do, I will promise you."

"..." Chu Tianya looked at her in a staring way and was speechless for a moment. After a long time, he squeezed out a sentence, "The more you are like this, the more guilty and self-blame I am. Because I know that I will never give you what you want.

The rosefinch smiled slightly, "Do you know what I want?"

"What?"

"You have already given it." The rosefinch still smiled and still wore the mask on his face. "It's what I want to be needed, share your worries, and solve your problems... Lord, it's time for you to go back to the bridal chamber."
