Chapter 266: Wedding (Part 4)
but.
Even though I cursed in my heart.
But looking at Su Changan in red, with a round fan in his hand covering most of his face, only a pair of eyes looking at him,
Especially those eyes which are very alluring.
Xia Fengxiang inexplicably thought of the content of the note that this bastard had sent him yesterday, and immediately rolled his eyes.
I secretly decided to deal with you when I’m done!
Make yourself like a little goblin!
But looking at Su Changan's appearance, Xia Fengxiang pursed his lips and smiled slightly, then looked around to show off, but found that there was no one around him.
Although he was helpless, he looked at Su Changan.
The haze in my heart was swept away.
but
At this moment, a Taoist priest came behind Xia Fengxiang.
Xia Fengxiang felt it, turned around and saw that it was her second brother. She was stunned for a moment, then immediately glared at her second brother, and then looked at Su Changan who was walking towards her below.
It was like signaling his second brother to look quickly.
Chen Xin has suffered a lot these days. First, he was severely beaten by his grandmother, which almost destroyed the little bit of Longhushan martial arts he had.
Fortunately, in the end, he carried his mother out crying and wailing.
Plus Xia Fengxiang's plea.
This means it has not been abolished.
After that, Chen Xin stayed in the palace all the time, except for going out to see Su Changan.
And now.
In fact, there was no need for his sister to signal, Chen Xin also looked at Su Changan.
First look.
Chen Xin was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xia Fengxiang, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
But the second time he looked at Su Changan.
Chen Xin silently pinched his fingers and murmured, "Taishang Laojun's orders are not going to work. Buddha, Bodhisattva, this is my sister's wife, she is not a monster, don't come and take her away, I am watching over here."
When he heard about his second brother, he got sick again.
Xia Fengxiang was too lazy to pay attention.
After all, the fact that his second brother was ill meant that he approved of the way his "young wife" was dressed today.
Sudden
Xia Fengxiang saw Su Changan winking at him.
Xia Fengxiang was stunned for a moment, then saw Su Changan holding a round fan in one hand and gently pointing at his stomach with the other hand.
Xia Fengxiang understood immediately and almost laughed, but fortunately he controlled himself.
but
Looking at Su Chang'an who was not nervous at all, he heard his second brother, a Taoist priest, murmuring to the Bodhisattva and Buddha to ask for help.
Xia Fengxiang suddenly wondered why there were so many people around him who were having seizures from time to time! !
So, after rolling his eyes at Su Changan.
Xia Fengxiang looked at the civil and military officials who were following Su Changan as her skirt dragged on the ground.
Especially when he saw Wen Daozhi, Xia Fengxiang was silent for a moment.
The middle-aged man who was in charge of all the military and political affairs of Liuzhou, with 40,000 black-armored cavalry and 60,000 black-armored infantry, seemed to have felt it.
But he did not look up, but just walked carefully with his head down. Because the old masters were not there at the moment, he, who was sitting in the first place among the generals, could not walk in disorder. If he did, everyone would be in disorder.
Xia Fengxiang's expression was indifferent, and then he glanced over and looked at where the princes were.
Xia Fengxiang had met several princes. Except for Prince An, Princess An and Xia Yaomo, the other princes came to Beijing alone.
The Sixth Prince, Prince Yu, and the Tenth Prince, Prince Jing, were both people who in their early years did not care about worldly affairs, did not get involved in party affairs, and only cared about living a free and easy life. Even their fiefdoms were completely handed over to the court to manage, so the late emperor did not take any action.
As for the Eighth Prince, he had a gloomy expression on his face and followed behind the Sixth Prince.
Xia Fengxiang smiled gently when she looked at the Eighth Prince, and suddenly understood what her father had said to her before he died, 'Your Eighth Uncle. Haha, just keep him as a chess piece. There is no need to plan against him. He will find a way for you to kill him. When the time comes, just kill him. But girl, remember to find a good time. There are too few such fools. You have to use them well.'
So, when Xia Fengxiang saw that the Eighth Prince actually came to the capital, he didn't know what to say.
However, when looking at the Eighth Prince, Xia Fengxiang suddenly looked into the distance, towards the queue of envoys from other countries at the end.
Among these envoys, there are many new faces, except for those who are present every year.
However, just by looking at his clothes, Xia Fengxiang found the King of the Southern Courtyard of the Mobei barbarians.
It can't be said that he went to look. He just glanced at it and then looked away. He was really too lazy to take another look.
then
He looked at his eighth uncle again.
Silently, a murderous aura inexplicably emerged from the empress.
Yes, Father, we need to find the right time.
The empress looked at the Eighth Prince and laughed.
The Eighth Prince was stunned and couldn't help but look up at Xia Fengxiang.
And it was not just the Eighth Prince. The Sixth Prince, the Tenth Prince, and the Eleventh Prince of this generation all subconsciously raised their eyes to look at the Empress.
The rising sun shines on the earth, but not all of it. For example, on Xia Fengxiang's side, only half of it is illuminated at the moment.
Half sunshine, half darkness.
Seeing the smile on Xia Fengxiang's face and the look in his eyes, several princes were startled, because
Their fourth brother, who killed countless people and became emperor, once looked at them in this way.
Then
Several of their brothers on that day
All dead.
Several princes were immediately stunned, especially Xia Fengxiang, who looked 70% similar to the late emperor and looked at them like this.
The princes who had experienced the bloody storm were stunned, especially when they looked into Xia Fengxiang's eyes. It seemed that there was a pair of huge vertical pupils staring at them.
Just like back then.
The inexplicable oppression made several princes bow their heads.
Among them, the eleventh prince, Prince An, did not bow his head. He just smiled at the empress and then lowered his head.
Then a look of excitement!
That's right!
You should be like the fourth brother. Only by being like the fourth brother can you lead the Great Xia and look down upon the sky! !
However, when thinking this, the Eleventh Prince turned slightly and looked at his mynah bird.
Then
The fat Prince An was stunned for a moment, then almost laughed out loud, cursing in his heart, "You're still leading troops to fight, what a coward!"
Just because he saw the Eighth Prince was sweating!
but
Prince An thought about it carefully. When the fourth brother killed the third and fifth brothers, the eighth brother was also taken to the execution ground. The knife was placed on his neck, and then with an order, the third and fifth brothers died.
Lao Ba was fine, but the heads of the two men rolled to his side.
He still remembers clearly that Lao Ba was so scared that he wet his pants.
So I thought that Your Majesty is now exactly the same as the late emperor before he killed people.
I remember it now.
Thinking of this, Prince An understood, but at the same time, he glanced at Xia Tingyu who was walking at the back.
As a result, Xia Tingyu looked at the empress with joy in his fox eyes.
Prince An shook his head, he was as seriously ill as Xiao Shisan!
Xia Fengxiang hasn't seen Xia Tingyu since she came to Beijing.
No matter how many memorials Xia Tingyu wrote, Xia Fengxiang chose to ignore them.
So today can be said to be the first time we meet after several years of separation.
When they met for the first time, Xia Tingyu saw this side of Xia Fengxiang, which reminded her as an elder sister of the look Xia Fengxiang showed when she stopped pretending when they were little. After that, she always wanted to see her younger sister like that.
And now.
It’s exactly the same as when I was a kid.
So, while Xia Tingyu had an inexplicable look of joy on his face, he turned his head and glanced at Su Changan.
This couple is really amazing.
Thinking of this, Xia Tingyu pursed his lips.
But at this time.
Xia Fengxiang looked at Xia Tingyu.
The four looked into each other's eyes.
Real dragon versus flood dragon.
The corners of Xia Fengxiang's mouth rose slightly, not in contempt, but he just remembered the memorial that Xia Tingyu sent to him that night after Su Changan met Xia Tingyu.
The content of the memorial was very simple. Apart from the long-winded words, it mainly said one sentence: "The Queen saved me, and I seem to know something."
Xia Fengxiang didn't care much about these things. Even if people knew that Su Changan was a man, it didn't matter. What's more, Xia Fengxiang knew Xia Tingyu. Some things couldn't be hidden from Xia Tingyu, so he wouldn't hide them!
The main reason was that Su Changan saved Xia Tingyu, which made Xia Fengxiang very unhappy, so Xia Fengxiang made Su Changan have a backache that night!
A slight punishment!
Let you save a woman at every turn!
After taking a look, Xia Fengxiang moved his eyes away and looked at the ministers below again.
Xia Tingyu felt a little strange when looking at his sister who no longer pretended to be an emperor. It was no wonder that so many ministers in the capital said that he looked more and more like the late emperor, even more than the late emperor!
But when Xia Tingyu thought about it carefully, wasn't this girl like this since she was a child?
So he smiled slightly, and then lowered his eyebrows.
Xia Fengxiang glanced at everyone and finally returned his gaze to Su Changan.
When I looked at the ministers just now, especially those governors outside the border, I recalled many things, and I couldn't help feeling a little gloomy in my heart.
But somehow.
When I saw Su Changan, all of this disappeared.
but.
When he looked over, Xia Fengxiang saw Su Changan holding a round fan in one hand, staring at him and pointing at his stomach.
Seeing this, Xia Fengxiang took a deep breath.
What a day!!
Still like this!
But Xia Fengxiang told himself, don’t be angry, don’t be angry, I will kill him after the wedding!!
Chen Xin whispered at this time: "Your Majesty, I forget it. The Queen is so beautiful, it's good. What's wrong?"
Just as Chen Xin said this, Xia Fengxiang looked at his second brother.
Chen Xin was stunned for a moment, but looking at Xia Fengxiang's expression, he suddenly understood that he was angry.
Chen Xin has been afraid of Xia Fengxiang since he was a child, and so is his older brother, so when he saw Xia Fengxiang getting angry, Chen Xin immediately stepped back, the farther away the better.
And Chen Xin looked at his sister and nodded, as if to say, "I understand, I'll get out of here now."
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes again, and after sighing that everyone around him was like this, he looked at the civil and military officials again.
at this time
Su Changan had already walked to the steps of the dragon-carved imperial road.
According to the Daxia ritual system, one has to walk on the dragon-carved steps, and no one except the emperor and the empress can walk here.
so.
Su Changan immediately stepped forward.
Boom!
Boom!
Just as Su Changan took a step forward, the sound of drums rang out.
after
Then they saw Chen Xin walking into everyone's field of vision with the imperial edict in his hand.
Although Chen Xin had just arrived behind the Empress, no one saw it. But now...
When everyone saw Chen Xin, their expressions were all stunned.
Some people who had never seen him before were puzzled for a moment, wondering who this Taoist priest with delicate features and wearing a lotus crown was.
but.
Some people who knew him were stunned.
King of Yue!
The King of Yue is back? When did he enter the capital?
Everyone looked at Chen Xin in surprise.
Chen Xin ignored the gazes below, held the imperial edict, stayed away from his sister, and then watched Su Changan walking up the stairs step by step.
He opened the imperial edict and began to read: "The imperial edict says: I take the world as my responsibility, and I value talents. Now, Su Chang'an, the eldest daughter of the Su family, is worthy of me."
This is the enthronement decree.
The general meaning is that Su Changan is both talented and virtuous, and is good in every aspect.
In short, after a lot of praise, Su Changan was named queen.
When Chen Xin was reading the imperial edict, the drumbeats were slow but extremely powerful.
and
Just when Chen Xin finished thinking.
The drums stopped abruptly.
And Su Changan has also come in front of Xia Fengxiang.
The two faced each other.
"Wife, I'm really hungry. I've been tossed around since early morning and haven't eaten a single bite yet." Su Changan whispered to his wife.
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes at Su Changan, then reached out and grabbed Su Changan's hand and pulled it: "I'll take care of you tonight!"
Su Changan was stunned for a moment.
no
I just said I was hungry, why are you punishing me?
But when thinking this, Su Changan turned and came to Xia Fengxiang, looked down at the ministers and the Chixia Army who had followed him in earlier.
"Greetings to your Majesty, and to the Queen."
In unison
Su Changan looked at the ministers below bowing their heads, the civil officials bowing, and the military generals clasping their fists.
At a glance, those people wearing purple robes are all high-ranking officials. Even those wearing red robes are enough to shake some places if they are stepped on.
And now.
All these people were bowing to him.
Although I have been saluted like this many times before, it was so rare to see so many people, so in unison, and so intuitive.
But it’s the first time!
Su Changan had a feeling that if he said something now, all these people would do it!
No wonder so many people are so thirsty for power.
One word determines life and death, and one word attracts thousands of followers.
To be honest, it was impossible for Su Changan not to be stunned by this scene.
After all, who wouldn’t be confused? !
but.
I'm hungry.
Can't take care of these.
So Su Changan whispered, "Hurry up and get someone to get up and continue with the rest of the matter, and then we can start eating. I'm really hungry, you don't even feel sorry for me? Are you thinking about dealing with me at night? Don't even think about the wedding night in broad daylight."
When Xia Fengxiang heard this, his expression did not change, but he grabbed Su Changan's hand and pinched the back of Su Changan's hand.
Su Changan was suddenly pinched, a look of slight pain appeared on his face, and he turned to look at Xia Fengxiang.
This small action was seen by Chen Xin. His Royal Highness the King of Yue sighed helplessly, looking at the Queen, whom he didn't know how to address, but would be a member of the family in the future, and felt a little sorry.
She is so beautiful that even Buddha would be attracted to her.
result
How could he have fallen headlong into the hands of this cruel and ruthless sister of his? Look how hurt she is. We are getting married and now she is doing it. How am I going to live my life from now on?
My sister-in-law seems to be a loyal, honest and kind person. I guess she wouldn't even be willing to kill a chicken. How pitiful.
Thinking of this, Chen Xin couldn't bear to watch anymore.
Xia Fengxiang pinched Su Changan's hand without saying anything, just looking at the scene in front of her with a calm face, which she was already used to.
At the same time, Feng Chun stepped forward respectfully and said, "Stand up."
When all the civil and military officials under the carved dragon imperial road heard this, they expressed their gratitude and stood up straight.
Many of them subconsciously looked up at the Empress and the Queen.
But when they looked up, they saw that Su Changan had an abnormal expression. They were all stunned and confused.
The following rituals are simple.
That is to say, Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang offered sacrifices to the heaven together, which was actually burning incense and offering sacrifices to the heaven in the cauldron in front of the Zhonghe Hall behind them.
There is no need to go to the Taimiao now. You can go there tomorrow.
In fact, Su Changan reduced all the rituals that could be reduced, otherwise the original ones would have been even more complicated.
After all, many emperors got married and had children when they were crown princes, and very few emperors married a queen after inheriting the throne.
But even so
The officials of Daxia did not say anything, after all, they were all scholars and knew that these etiquettes must be observed. Even the military generals were the same.
Although I am curious about the foreign countries, I also want to see more.
Time passes, mainly because the worship time is longer.
The Southern Courtyard King of the Mobei barbarians was a little impatient. He pouted and muttered quietly, "What a crap, the banquet hasn't started yet. I came here early in the morning waiting for food. And the emperor is not in a hurry, right? He married such a beautiful wife. If it were me, I would have carried her to bed a long time ago. What a crap Great Xia."
What the King of Nanyuan said was also heard by some foreign people around him.
But no one dared to say anything more, they just lowered their heads, and really didn't dare to listen.
As the King of the Southern Courtyard spoke again, his eyes turned towards the wedding banquet tables on both sides of the central imperial road. Various fruits were placed on them, which was very rich even in winter!
Many of them are rare in Mobei!
Especially the charcoal stoves and drinks around the table.
This made the King of the Southern Court very greedy.
But what really made the King of the Southern Courtyard envious were the palace maids standing beside the table.
Looking at those beautiful palace maids, the Southern Courtyard King Shuluan suddenly remembered something and grinned: "Have we prepared our gifts?"
Hearing this, his men nodded immediately: "It's ready. When it's ready to be delivered, we can just take it out."
But after saying this, the man whispered, "Your Majesty, it is said that it is difficult to bring things into the Daxia Palace, but we have not been inspected."
The King of the Southern Courtyard said immediately, "It's just a show, that's all they know. Look, there are so many broken rules for a wedding, especially the damn ones. They're not going to let us sit here in such a cold weather."
At this point, the King of the South Court saw something that looked like cloth next to the tables, and some wooden stick-like things.
What is this for?
It looks like the kind we use to pitch tents in Mobei.
Just when the Southern Court King was confused.
The music suddenly started.
“Take your seats!”
At this time, the King of the Southern Court heard such a voice.
And just as these two words fell.
All officials were originally planning to take their seats.
but.
However, he saw that the eunuchs and palace maids sitting next to the tables on both sides of the imperial road picked up the strangely shaped wooden sticks on the ground.
