Chapter 21 Marriage
The wedding date was set on the eighth day of May. The sedan chair was carried out of Weifu, with gongs and drums and firecrackers all the way. The people of Manqiongjiang knew that it was the ninth princes getting married today. If they were not curious, they all ran out of the house to see the bustle and joy, and blocked the whole street.
Shen Xuanji sat in the sedan chair, unable to see anything, and his eyes were full of red. She was in a strange mood, a little nervous, a little uneasy, and seemed to be a little happy.
The emperor meant to let the people have fun with the heavenly family, and the ceremonial guards would not expel the onlookers. It was difficult for the sedan chair to walk. It was not until almost noon that it came to the foot of the imperial city.
Xue Zhen is also a happy red today. His head is tied with a happy crown of gold wire inlaid, red sapphire, tourmaline and diamond, with long eyebrows and jade trees in the wind.
He was surrounded by Huo Qiyue and other brothers and friends. Seeing Shen Xuanji wearing a covered head and being helped by Xi Niang, he was about to meet him as soon as his feet moved.
Huo Qiyu pressed his shoulder, looked at him speechlessly, and then looked up. Xue Zhen barely stood up and still heard that he was among his bad friends. He didn't know who it was. He smiled in a low voice and said, "The ninth prince is anxious."
Xue Zhen didn't care to be angry with him, because the ceremonial officer had shouted strangely, "Worship heaven and earth!"
This time was too hasty. Shen Xuanji and Xue Zhen were not ready yet. As soon as he shouted, they hurriedly knelt down.
The Empress Dowager shot at the ceremonial officer with a knife. The ceremonial officer was shocked and quickly lowered her head.
The emperor frowned slightly, but Noble Concubine Li gently covered her lips and smiled, "Look at the ninth prince, so can't wait!"
"No rules, sit down." The Empress Dowager said coldly.
Li Guifei was stunned for a moment and instantly looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes. The emperor was embarrassed on both sides. He could neither offend his mother nor his beloved concubine. After thinking about it, he still patted Princess Li's hand.
Li Guifei's aggrieved look of "the ministers and concubines are all for the emperor", answered "yes" in a low voice, held the hands of the palace people, walked down from the emperor's side, and sat on the lower chair.
Xue Zhen and Shen Xuanji are walking away furiously. Do you want to worship Gao Tang? Bye or not! ......
After this toss, Shen Xuanji sweated. Finally, she and Xue Zhen grabbed the end of a piece of red silk and walked to the bridal chamber.
"Where's the spring?" Shen Xuanji was a little uneasy and asked in a low voice. Chun Chu stretched out her hand in time and held her other hand, "I'm here, big girl... Princess, don't be afraid!" She sneered softly, "The princess's hands are full of sweat!"
Shen Xuanji was slightly relieved and still walked into the bridal chamber after Xue Zhen. She was supported and sat on Xi**, waiting for Xue Zhen to lift the cover. Who knows that no one came after waiting for a long time? Only an old woman said coldly, "The Empress Dowager and the emperor still have important things to tell the ninth prince, and please don't stay."
After staying until the evening, Shen Xuanji got up four days to wash his makeup. At this time, he was tired and hungry, and had to sit up straight**. With a cover on his head, he could only see the feet of the servants in a room, which was very stuffy. No matter how patient she was, she almost became anxious at this time and reached out to pull the sleeves of the spring clothes standing beside her.
"Aunt... What does the princess order?" Chunzhuo also saw this battle for the first time. She saw that the room was full of cold-faced palace people, so she was more nervous than Shen Xuanji. In the old days, she was stared at by a person and quickly changed her words.
"I'm hungry." Shen Xuanji had suppressed his voice very low, but someone stood close and still heard it. He shouted coldly, "There are bread on the table for the princess."
Shen Xuanji was so angry that he took the plate, took one and stuffed it into his mouth.
The bun was originally prepared for the bride and is very delicate, but the chess pieces are large, and the fillings of lotus paste, bean paste and nuts are different, and they are not very sweet and greasy.
Shen Xuanji was so hungry that he ate five or six in one breath. Just as he was about to ask for tea, someone had handed a blue and white tea cup to his hand.
She rolled her eyes under her head and took it to drink.
When his stomach was full, he felt that it was not so difficult. Shen Xuanji slightly changed his posture and leaned against the head of the bed, ready to continue to sit like this.
It was the time when he was bored. Hearing the sound of footsteps outside the door, Xue Zhen strode in. He looked at the house full of palace people, all like wood carvings and stone sculptures, and he also jumped. Looking at Shen Xuanji sitting on Xi**, she was tightly surrounded, and the maid beside her was like a frightened rabbit.
"You all go down!" Xue Zhen waved his hand, and the palace people looked embarrassed and said headily, "The slaves were sent by the noble concubine. The noble concubine has something to say and let the slaves serve the prince and princess well."
Xue Zhen deeply admires these people's ability to die. He raised his eyebrows and smiled and said coldly, "Is it possible that you are going to watch the bridal chamber of the king and the princess?"
Shen Xuanji blushed under the red cover and felt that this person was unreliable. He was still a prince, full of nonsense.
When the man saw that Xue Zhen showed signs of anger again, he recalled the palace gate guard incident that day, and still felt that it was better not to provoke him. So he bowed his head and took the order and came out with the servants in the room.
"You, go outside and ask someone to fg some water." Xue Zhen briefly ordered Chunjiao, and Chunjiao also went out.
For a while, there were only two husband and wife in the room. Then Xue Zhen picked up the scale pole with red satin on the wedding plate, came forward, and gently lifted Shen Xuanji's cover.
This is the first time Xue Zhen has seen Shen's gorgeous makeup. She is dressed in a happy red wedding dress, with a skirt as a phoenix tail, and a five phoenix crown made by the princess in the middle of her head. The temples are covered with emerald gemstones and eight treasures. The head is dazzling and shining, and the heavy gold beads falling on the long hairpin of the golden dotted green bat. They knocked each other to make a crisp sound, wearing ruby earrings on their ears, their skin is better than snow, and their apricot eyes are as bright as black crystals.
Shen Xuanji was also looking at him. A pair of big eyes looked at himself with a smile, and his whole body was shining under the candlelight.
This man is his husband.
"Are you scared with so many people?" Xue Zhen turned around and put the cover on the table. "Don't worry, but one night, we'll go home early tomorrow morning."
He picked up the wine jug on the table, brewed two glasses, walked to the bedside with a smile, "Princess, this is our glass of wine."
"Obviously, there was a subordinate just now, but the prince wanted to drive away all the people and do these things by himself." Shen Xuanji took the wine glass in one hand and whispered. Her hair accessories are so heavy that she has no time to be shy.
"I married you, not a subordinate!" Xue Zhen was quite serious. Shen Xuanji smiled and put her arm around her arm and drank all the wine in the glass.
She gave the wine glass to Xue Zhen, and Xue Zhen took the opportunity to touch the back of her hand. Shen Xuanji twitched his hand, "disrespectful!" "Madam, I'm wrong!" Xue Zhen pulled her sleeve to beg for mercy.
At this time, Chunzhuo came in and saw that the two were pulling and pulling. He was so ashamed that he dared not raise his eyes and stammered, "The prince, princess, water and water are here. The two were settled earlier, and the maidservant and maidservant left first!"
"Oh, you..." Shen Xuanji opened her mouth and couldn't call her. She was secretly angry. This stupid girl hasn't washed her face yet!
She was not angry. She came down from ** and walked to the dressing table to remove her makeup. Suddenly, he turned around and looked at Xue Zhen, "Your Majesty, why are you still here?"
Xue Zhenjue fell down, "Madam, where do you think I should go?"
Shen Xuanji realized the importance of the problem and didn't say anything for a reason for half a day. Xue Zhen walked behind her and gently removed the long hairpin for her. Shen Xuanji has never tried to get so close to a man and quickly stood up, "There is no need to work, prince, I'll do it myself!"
Xue Zhen looked bitterly, "If you are like this, we can't get along with each other in the future!"
Shen Xuanji thought for a moment and was a little embarrassed, "Yes, I'm stupid." She came over and took off her outer appearance first. Xue Zhen's chin just rubbed against the top of her head, and a strong fragrance rushed to her nose. He sneezed and sneezed.
Shen Xuanji was petrochemical on the spot. Fortunately, the wind and waves she had seen were not small, and she was calm. She couldn't help reaching out and touching her hair. She just lowered her head and said, "It's all too fragrant in the morning."
Xue Zhen sniffed and said, "Otherwise, wash it again?"
"I don't know when it will be done after washing." Shen Xuanji was struggling with his belt and replied leisurely.
"It's okay. It's hot now, and it will dry soon." Xue Zhen took her hand from her waist and said, "Let them boil water. If you are tired for a day, you should also wash it."
Xue Zhen called the palace people to remove makeup, change their wedding clothes and wash their hair for Shen Xuanji. He also went inside to change his usual clothes.
Shen Xuanji's face was refreshed and he felt much better. He sat on ** with his knees in his arms. Seeing Xue Zhen's cyan soft satin long shirt, he looked more and more romantic, and he squinted at him.
Xue Zhen also smiled at her and sat next to her, "Let's talk and wait until your hair is dry, or you will have a headache tomorrow."
Shen Xuanji nodded and agreed. She looked at the red candle with thick arms of the child on the wax table. "Your Majesty, look how sad those candles are crying."
Xue Zhen was looking around looking for a dry handkerchief to wipe her hair. Hearing this, "Ah?" With a sound, he said heartlessly, "That's tears."
Shen Xuanji rolled her eyes and felt that there was nothing to say to such a person. Xue Zhen found a target at this time and jumped on tiptoe to get it in his hand.
Shen Xuanji was turned around by him. As soon as he was a little confused, he felt that his long hair was held in Xue Zhen's hand. He gently wroseed her slightly wet hair with a veil. Although his movements were strange, they were so gentle, which made Shen Xuanji's nose sour. "I'll do it myself." She said.
"I'll come. I'll listen to you." Xue Zhen pinched his wife's black hair, which was heavy, bright and smooth, winding in his hand.
"The prince shouldn't spoil me like this." Shen Xuanji's voice was slightly hoarse, "How can I be worthy of you like this?"
Xue Zhen laughed and said, "You are my wife!"
Shen Xuanji would like to say that you were already very kind to me when I was not your wife. She still couldn't pull her skin and blushed.
"What's wrong? Does it hurt you?" Xue Zhen saw that she looked wrong and quickly turned her around and saw Shen Xuanji still holding her knees. Tears first condensed on their eyelashes, and then fell on the back of her mutton jade-like hands drop by drop.
Xue Zhen looked at her for a long time, and finally put down the veil in his hand, stretched out his hand, and patted her gently in his arms, "So stupid, why are you crying..."
