Princess Hui'an felt bored and snorted in dissatisfaction: "You are still hiding things from me, while your little follower is more straightforward!"
When Su Xiaoxiao was mentioned, they both fell silent.
When Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting got married, they both sent her off at the same time. But when it was their turn to get married, she was no longer in the capital.
"I promised to come back after I finished suppressing the bandits."
Princess Hui'an muttered, her heart tightened, "The little follower won't really..."
Princess Jingning said: "She is very clever and cunning. No matter who gets into trouble, nothing can happen to her."
After knowing each other for so many years, Princess Jingning is very clear about Su Xiaoxiao's abilities.
Besides, this time the bandit suppression was not a difficult task, it was done intentionally by Your Majesty.
As for why he hasn’t returned for so long, maybe he was delayed by something else on the way.
After all, that girl is not only the leader of the Red Shadow Army, but also a genuine doctor. -Su Xiaoxiao finally caught up.
After galloping non-stop for several days, the lion's jet-black hair was blown up. When Princess Hui'an and Princess Jingning opened their eyes, they saw a little lion with frizzy hair gasping for breath.
Princess Hui'an: "..."
Princess Jingning: “…”
"Little follower!"
Princess Hui'an shouted, "Why did you come back just now? If you were any later, Jingning and I would have been married!"
Su Xiaoxiao sat down on the chair and took a gulp of the herbal tea that Taozhi handed over, using tea instead of wine: "Sorry, sorry, I'm late. I'll drink three cups as a punishment!"
Princess Hui'an looked at her exhausted expression and suddenly felt distressed: "It's okay to come later..."
Su Xiaoxiao patted her proud little chest and said, "How can that be possible? I promised you that I would come back in time!"
The two princesses were supposed to be married off from their respective palaces, but the fact that Princess Hui'an secretly came to see Princess Jingning last night could not be hidden from the Holy Empress Dowager.
The Holy Empress Dowager has always been very particular about rules, so the palace people thought she would do something, but she only ordered someone to bring Princess Hui'an's things.
Thus, there was a scene where two perfect ladies came to Kunning Palace at the same time to dress up the two princesses.
"Ouch! That hurts!"
Princess Hui'an was beaten on the head and her face was twisted, and she cried out in pain.
"Why doesn't she feel any pain?"
She pointed to the peaceful tranquility.
How could Jingning not feel pain? She just didn't say anything.
The two perfect ladies were amused by Princess Hui'an's frankness and cuteness.
Su Xiaoxiao noticed that Princess Jingning kept staring at herself in the bronze mirror without saying a word.
She walked over, bent down and looked at Jingning in the bronze mirror, and whispered, "What is Ningning thinking about?"
Princess Jingning opened her mouth but hesitated to speak.
Su Xiaoxiao knew her concerns and said sincerely, "Ningning is so beautiful. The prince consort will definitely be fascinated by Ningning."
Upon hearing this, Princess Hui'an turned her head to look at Jingning and was quite amazed.
She nodded seriously: "Jingning, I think so too."
Princess Jingning lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembling: "Hmm."
Soon, the auspicious time arrived. The two princesses put on their respective red veils and, supported by palace servants, went to Zhaoyang Palace to kowtow to the Grand Empress Dowager. They then went to Shoukang Palace to kowtow to the Holy Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Jing.
The Holy Empress Dowager looked at the Empress Dowager Jing who came uninvited and sat down next to her: "You have your own bedroom."
Queen Mother Jing waved her hand nonchalantly, "It's been three years, the children are tired of it, don't let them run twice!"
Princess Hui'an nodded deeply!
Holy Queen Mother: “…”
The princess's wedding was extraordinary. It was organized by the Ministry of Rites, and the Imperial City Department and the Imperial Guards provided protection throughout the entire process. Wedding pranks were out of the question. Su Cheng would beat anyone who came to the rescue! That's right, Su Cheng had been promoted and was now the official leader of the Imperial City Department.
Xiao Chonghua specifically put him in charge of the security of the two princesses' wedding in order to suppress those ruffians from the Wei and Su families.
After all, looking across the entire capital, only Su Cheng could suppress them.
At the palace gate, two wedding processions were waiting in an orderly manner.
A furtive figure was peeking from behind the sedan chair.
Su Cheng rode on a tall and handsome horse and came behind him in a cold tone: "Come out."
Su Li's body froze: "No way... this can be discovered..."
Su Cheng grabbed his ears and arrested him without hesitation.
Then he glanced at them and snorted coldly, "And the rest of you, Wei Yan, you haven't had enough prison food, have you?"
"What does it have to do with me? Big brother asked me to come! Right, big brother!"
Wei Liulang, who was disguised as a guard, blurted out.
Wei Chen slapped him on the forehead!
I'm cheating on you, idiot!
Very good, the bride hasn’t even gotten into the bridal sedan yet, and both brothers have been exposed.
However, this is not the worst.
The next second, Jing Yi walked out from the crowd without any flaws.
Wei Liulang was stunned: "You haven't been exposed..."
Jing Yi said honestly: "Oh, I will destroy myself for the sake of justice."
Wei Liulang: “…”
Wei Chen: “…”
Su Cheng swung his sword and said in a domineering tone: "With me here, no one can cause trouble on the wedding day of the two princesses!"
Su Xuan, who was standing at the front of the team, heard the movement behind him.
He curled the corners of his lips, looked at the other prince consort who was wearing wedding clothes, and asked, "Brother Qinghe, are you nervous?"
"No."
Shen Chuan looked calm, "Brother Su is nervous?"
"No."
Su Xuan's tone became calmer.
The head of the Imperial Household Department standing opposite the two said: "My two top scholars, could you please stop picking at the bark of the tree? You are almost making the newly planted seedlings bald!"
Shen Chuan and Su Xuan's expressions paused at the same time.
Su Xuan put his hand down and decisively put the blame on Shen Chuan: "He stole it."
Shen Chuan: “…” -According to folk customs, when a sister gets married, she is usually sent out of the house by her brothers in person.
Two years ago, Xiao Shunyang was demoted to a commoner by Emperor Jinghe for treason. Xiao Duye went to his fiefdom and became an idle prince, and was not allowed to enter the capital without being summoned.
There are still the fourth, fifth and sixth princes, but they are clearly not important enough to marry the two eldest princesses.
Emperor Jinghe came to Shoukang Palace in person to pick up his two sisters.
In folk society, when a girl gets married off, she usually cries her heart out.
Emperor Jinghe thought he would also witness a touching scene, but he never expected that the women in the palace were calmer than each other.
Queen Mother Jing winked at her son and whispered, "Take your sister away quickly!"
I am so annoyed. I have raised her for twenty years. If she doesn’t get married soon, she will die! Princess Hui’an tugged at Emperor Jinghe’s sleeve and urged him in a low voice: “Brother, hurry up. I want to see Axuan!”
The corner of Emperor Jinghe's mouth twitched.
On the other side, the Holy Empress Dowager and Princess Jingning were also calm and composed, courteous and considerate with a hint of alienation.
Princess Jingning bowed and said, "I, your son, bid farewell to your mother."
The Saint Empress Dowager's eyes moved slightly and she clenched her handkerchief tightly.
Emperor Jinghe glanced at the mother and daughter, and said to the Holy Empress Dowager: "My son and Shen Chuan have known each other since childhood. Shen Chuan is a person worthy of entrusting your life to."
The corners of the Saint Empress Dowager's mouth twitched several times, and she finally looked at Jingning and spoke: "Don't think that I don't know... It was your own choice, I hope you won't regret it in the future."
Princess Jingning: "Take care, mother." -A forest filled with blood mist.
A girl, covered in blood but with a proud spirit, sat on the cold hillside holding a box.
A frail young man with a handsome face took the water bag, tilted his head back and drank a few sips, being careful not to touch the bottle mouth.
He looked at the girl in the twilight: "Just now, in order to protect this box, the girl almost lost her life in the hands of bandits, but money is only a thing outside of the body."
The girl said seriously: "It's not money, it's my hometown. I'm going to a very far place, and I may never come back in this lifetime. If I die one day, I can bury myself with it, and it will be a place of peace for me."
The boy returned the water bag to her: "Thank you for the water, young lady."
The girl said, "You can take it with you. My people will be here soon. They brought me a lot of food and water."
The boy looked at her: "Girl... do you want to go home?"
The girl fell into deep thought, a trace of struggle appeared in her eyes, and then she shook her head as if nothing had happened: "I'm tired of staying at home. I heard that southern Xinjiang is very good. I will definitely like that place."
The boy bowed and said goodbye.
He ran away secretly, and it would be terrible if he was found by his uncle and grandfather.
“Cough cough cough…”
I feel so uncomfortable because I am not feeling well.
"etc."
The girl called out to him.
"Um?"
The young man turned around, and a faint blush appeared on his sick face due to coughing.
The girl stared at him blankly, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses from the shock she had felt at first sight: "You really look like someone I know... Never mind, it should just be a coincidence. What's your name?"
"Ah Xuan."
"Hanhuan, my name is Huanhuan."
The boy nodded.
The girl smiled and said, "I am going to Southern Xinjiang to get married. I am getting married."
The boy nodded politely: "Congratulations."
"Here she comes! The bride is here!"
"Get out of the way, that's my sister-in-law!"
The sound of Wei Liulang and Su Li playing and fighting reached Su Xuan's ears.
Su Xuan calmed himself down and looked at the two princesses who were walking out of the palace wearing phoenix crowns and bridal robes.
Although she was wearing a veil, he still recognized her at a glance.
Her seemingly slow steps revealed an unconcealable joy and lightness.
Princess Hui'an quietly called out from under her veil: "Ah Xuan."
The crowd was surging, but Su Xuan heard it.
He smiled quietly: "Princess, Axuan is here."
In this life, Ah Xuan has always been there. (End of this chapter)
