Chapter 156: Red Makeup All Over the City



"Your Majesty! How are you?"

Foxi's cold and ruthless expression and indifferent tone made it impossible to find any emotional fluctuations in it. Hearing Foxi's words, the emperor was shocked. He just opened his mouth to call for help, and felt his neck tighten.

Foxi exerted force on her wrist and narrowed her eyes slightly, "I advise Your Majesty not to make a sound. I am pregnant now and cannot stand being frightened. If my hand shakes, then Your Majesty... will die."

After saying that, Foxi raised a sneer at the corner of her lips.

The emperor felt a chill all over his body, and he forced himself to calm down, "I am the emperor of a country. If you kill me today, even Bei Mingchen can't save you."

Foxi's sneer increased, and she laughed out loud. Her eyes turned cold, and her arm exerted a little force, making the emperor's face flush.

"Bei Mingchen can't protect me, but I can protect him, so it's time for you to go."

The emperor was terrified, "You...you can't...can't..."

Foxi's laughter stopped abruptly, and the strength in her hand increased a little, strangling the emperor to the point where he couldn't breathe.

The emperor's face flushed, and he tightly grasped the whip around his neck with both hands, "Let go... of me..."

Fuxi looked at the emperor's struggle, her eyes were unusually cold, and she tightened her arms again, "You are an unfaithful husband, an unkind father, an unkind brother, an unfilial son, and an unjust monarch. So, it is really unfair for heaven to let you live."

The emperor's eyes widened, with shock in his eyes, but then he seemed to think of something, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes. He raised his right hand with difficulty, his breath weak, "You are killing... me now, have you ever thought about... your own fate? "

Foxi stared expressionlessly at the emperor's right hand pointing at her, her voice flat.

"I forgot to tell the emperor, I am the daughter of the emperor of Lingxi Kingdom, so I don't need to worry about anything, let alone be afraid of anything. I can kill you without fear."

At this point, she said indifferently: "At worst, I can change my identity and marry Bei Mingchen. "

After saying this, without waiting for the emperor to be shocked, Fo Xi tightened her grip.

The emperor struggled twice and then fell silent.

Fo Xi retracted the bone whip, put it on her waist, and covered it with a heavy cloak. Then she picked up the teacup and threw it on the ground. After a loud bang, she covered her face and ran out of the hall.

The eunuch outside the hall heard the voice and became anxious. Before he could make a move, the door of the hall opened, and Princess Chen lowered her head and covered her face, making it impossible to see her expression.

Fo Xi stood at the entrance of the hall, looked back at the half-open side hall door, turned her head and choked in a low voice: "To avoid implicating innocent people, eunuchs should wait a moment before going in."

The eunuchs were also scared. They secretly glanced at the hall, nodded and saluted, saying: "Thank you, Princess Chen, for your reminder. "

Foxi said nothing and walked quickly forward. After turning the corner, she did not go through the main palace gate, but ran towards the cold palace.

The eunuchs would soon find out that the emperor was dead. At her walking speed, she would probably be discovered before she reached the palace gate.

She had agreed with Bei Mingyu to meet at the cold palace, and then Bei Mingyu would take her out of the palace.

Foxi walked quickly all the way, and chose deserted paths. Before she reached the cold palace, she heard mournful sounds.

Foxi did not react at all, but quickened her pace. After walking for a while, she met Bei Mingyu who had hurried over anxiously.

"Sister-in-law..."

Foxi nodded, "Hurry up, they have already found out. "

Bei Mingyu grabbed Foxi's arm and jumped up, and the two of them climbed onto the roof.

Foxi turned her head and saw that the guards had already been dispatched, and the whole palace was in chaos.

Bei Mingyu led Foxi to run on the roof, and finally jumped down.

The carriage had been ready for a long time, and Bei Mingyu helped Foxi up, and then drove away.

After driving away from the outer perimeter of the palace, Bei Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief, and he tilted his head slightly to ask Foxi.

"Sister-in-law, should we go directly, or go see brother first? "

Foxi didn't hesitate at all and blurted out, "Let's go directly..."

They were one step faster than the people in the palace. It was easy to leave the city now. If they went back to the palace again, it would not only be difficult to leave the city, but Bei Mingchen might also be implicated.

Bei Mingyu nodded, "Okay, sister-in-law, don't worry, brother is fine."

Foxi hummed lightly, knowing that he was fine, there would be many opportunities to meet in the future.

Bei Mingyu whipped the horse and the carriage stopped in front of the city gate. Bei Mingyu jumped off the carriage, "Sister-in-law, be careful on the road."

Foxi lifted the curtain and nodded at Bei Mingyu, "Don't worry, you go back soon, don't let those people get suspicious. "

Bei Mingyu nodded, jumped on his horse and whipped the horse to ride away.

A secret guard stepped forward and saluted, "Princess..."

Foxi nodded, took out the palace token from his arms and handed it to the secret guard, "Hurry up and leave the city..."

The secret guard took the token, saluted and drove the carriage forward.

Looking at the city gate getting closer and closer, Foxi felt a little worried in her heart. She forced herself to calm down. This is not the modern world. If something happens, they can't be notified by just a phone call.

The carriage stopped and Foxi held her breath.

The guards at the city gate stopped the carriage that Foxi was riding in.

The secret guard was in plain clothes. He took out the token from his arms calmly and held it in his hand.

"The emperor's personal order, who dares to stop it? "

When the city guards saw this, they immediately bowed and saluted,"I'm sorry for the offense, I hope you will forgive me! "

The secret guard took back the token and said nothing, but whipped the whip and walked forward.

The guards guarding the city immediately made way.

Foxi also breathed a sigh of relief. After leaving the city, she lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked back. The three words "Anzhenguo" were imprinted in her eyes.

For two consecutive days, Foxi had been rushing day and night. Although Yan Yin sent many secret guards to protect Foxi, she still felt uneasy before reaching Lingxi Kingdom.

At this moment, she closed her eyes and leaned on the backrest of the carriage, stroking her belly with one hand. She was feeling uncomfortable all over, but now she could only endure the discomfort.

She didn't know what the situation was in Anzhenguo? She didn't know what happened to Bei Mingchen?

If Bei Mingyu and others acted well, and if those ministers were more suspicious, then her plan would definitely succeed.

She hoped that as soon as she arrived at Lingxi Kingdom, she would hear the news that Bei Mingyu was going to ascend the throne. Only when she heard this news would her heart be at ease.

After another day of traveling day and night, Foxi finally heard the long-awaited words.

"Princess, we have arrived at Lingxi Kingdom."

At this moment, Foxi finally smiled. She stood up weakly and opened the curtain.

Yanyin hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out her hands to support Foxi. After seeing Foxi's pale face, she felt distressed.

"Xiaoxi..."

Foxi put her weight on Yanyin, she smiled and said, "Mom..."

Yanyin's eyes were filled with tears, she turned her head away and nodded, "It's okay, it's okay when you get to Lingxi country, your father will definitely protect you."

Foxi heard Yanyin's words, looked in the direction of Yanyin's sight, and saw Yan Yin standing not far away. Looking at the snow on his hair, she knew that he had been standing outside for a long time.

Yan Yin saw Foxi looking at him, he smiled at Foxi, but he didn't dare to step forward, he knew from the last conversation with Xiaoxi that Xiaoxi didn't want to admit that he was her father.

Yanyin helped Foxi walk to Yanyin's side.

Foxi opened her mouth, but the word "father" seemed to be stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say it. Finally, she asked, "An Junguo..."

Yan Yin smiled faintly, "Everything is as you wish."

With just one sentence, Foxi's worries were put down, and she felt extremely relaxed. She hugged Yan Yin excitedly, "That's great, that's great."

Yan Yin looked at Foxi's laughing face and couldn't help laughing.

Yan Yin patted Foxi's back gently, "Xiaoxi, don't be too excited, your body can't bear it."

Before Yan Yin finished speaking, she felt Foxi's body getting heavier, and hurriedly hugged Foxi's waist, and asked anxiously with her head tilted, "Xiaoxi? Xiaoxi?"

Seeing this, Yan Yin bent down and picked up Foxi, and strode into the palace.

The personal eunuch was very tactful to summon the imperial physician.

On the other hand, the previous emperor of Anjun Kingdom passed away, and the crown prince Bei Minghuai

had no intention of ascending the throne. The other princes and princes were not allowed to appear on the stage. The most important thing was that the ministers flattered the rumors about the twins of Anjun Kingdom and wanted Bei Mingchen to ascend the throne.

But Bei Mingchen was seriously injured and dying. Bei Mingyu was forced to ascend the throne. Once he ascended the throne, he had to clean up the mess left by the previous emperor.

The eunuch looked at Bei Mingyu who was busy and reminded him: "Your Majesty, you should take a rest."

Bei Mingyu threw down the memorial and rubbed his eyes with one hand. He only hoped that his eldest brother and sister-in-law's child would be born soon. In this way, he could be relieved earlier. After a long time

, Bei Mingyu picked up the memorial again and asked the eunuch beside him, "Are all these concubines of the late emperor to be buried with him?" The eunuch bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it is up to you to decide whether to bury them with him or to leave the palace for recuperation. " Bei Mingyu nodded, "Which concubine did the late emperor like the most?" The eunuch said, "Your Majesty, the late emperor liked Concubine Ning Jiagui the most." He paused here and continued, "Concubine Ning Jiagui has been buried with him." Bei Mingyu turned around and was shocked when he heard it, "Already buried with him?" "Yes." Bei Mingyu looked at the messy memorials on the table and found the one about Concubine Ning Jiagui. After reading for a while, he put down the memorial, "Ningjia Tribe!" The eunuch said, "The name of the tribe was awarded by the late emperor with the title of Ningjia Noble Concubine." Bei Mingyu nodded, "Pass on my decree, Ningjia Tribe is exempt from taxes..." "Yes..." A few days later, Bei Mingchen, who was lying on the bed, looked at the letter written by Foxi, with a smile on his lips. As soon as Bei Mingyu entered the room, he saw Bei Mingchen holding a letter and grinning foolishly, "Brother..." Bei Mingchen hummed lightly, and continued to stare at the letter without raising his head. Bei Mingyu felt wronged. He moved a stool and sat on the edge of the bed, and said casually: "Brother, those ministers want me to marry a wife and concubines." Bei Mingchen nodded, "Then marry." Bei Mingyu smiled and said, "But I don't have anyone I like, and I don't want to marry a wife." Bei Mingchen nodded, "Then don't marry." Bei Mingyu's face darkened, and he looked at Bei Mingchen with a very unhappy look. After a long time, Bei Mingchen took back the letter. He glanced at Bei Mingyu and asked, "Why are you here?" Bei Mingyu took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said, "I said, those ministers want me to get married?" Bei Mingchen nodded, "Then which daughter do you like?" Bei Mingyu shook his head, "I don't like anyone. I don't want to get married." Bei Mingchen nodded, "Then don't marry for now. Wait until you find a woman you like, and then marry her." Bei Mingyu smiled. He glanced at Bei Mingchen and said, "Recently, the court has been talking about the princess of Lingxi Kingdom." Bei Mingchen raised his eyebrows, looked at Bei Mingyu, and motioned him to continue. Bei Mingyu folded his hands together, "They all said that Emperor Ling actually has a daughter, and they even issued an edict, saying..." Hearing this, Bei Mingchen narrowed his eyes, "Those old guys, they don't want you to marry the eldest princess of Lingxi Kingdom?" Bei Mingyu nodded, and then waved his hands, "Brother, calm down, they don't know that the eldest princess of Lingxi Kingdom is my sister-in-law." Bei Mingchen looked at Bei Mingyu vigilantly, "Then how did you answer?" Bei Mingyu smiled, coughed twice, and said as if to take credit, "Ahem, brother is now "Since my elder brother is seriously ill and has no wives or concubines, why not let my elder brother take on the important task of marrying the eldest princess." Bei Mingchen looked up and down at Bei Mingyu, "Have those old ministers agreed?" Bei Mingyu nodded, "You also know that my elder sister-in-law has become a taboo in the Kingdom of Anjun. Those people must be hoping for a new Princess Chen and completely forget about the previous Princess Chen." Bei Mingchen nodded and continued to take out the letter to read. When Xier made that decision, she had already decided to give up her identity as Foxi. Seeing this, Bei Mingyu quietly withdrew. He raised his head and took a deep breath, "This year should be a year of reunion."

Not long ago, an imperial decree spread in Anjun Kingdom, that the Prince of Anjun Kingdom would marry Princess Yanxi of Lingxi Kingdom in ten days. As

soon as this imperial decree came out, the people of the capital were immediately in an uproar. Although the former Princess of Chen killed the king, everyone saw the relationship between her and the Prince of Chen. Who

wouldn't envy the words and deeds of the Prince of Chen for her?

Now, it's really a case of people leaving and the tea is cold. We don't even know whether the former Princess of Chen is alive or dead, but her husband is going to marry someone else.

And the whole city is filled with red makeup, and he spent all his money, and went to Lingxi Kingdom in person to marry her in eight sedan chairs.

For a while, some people gave their blessings, some insulted Bei Mingchen, some insulted the current emperor Bei Mingyu, and some scolded Foxi for not knowing what was good for her. The Prince of Chen treated her so well, but she actually assassinated His Royal Highness the Prince of Chen. It was normal for His Royal Highness the Prince of Chen to marry someone else out of sadness.

Of course, the majority of people were just spectators. They just listened to the show in their spare time, and continued to work hard to earn money to support their families after returning home.

In the teahouse, a woman heard these words and unconsciously clenched her handkerchief.

The maid next to her knew that her young lady was on good terms with the former Princess of Chen, so she comforted her: "Miss, they were just saying it casually, don't take it too seriously."

Su Manyi did not respond, but turned to look out the window.

Foxi, where are you now? Are you doing well?

Suddenly, a male voice interrupted her conjecture.

"Man Yi..."

Su Manyi looked back and saw that it was Lu Chen. She immediately stood up and prepared to leave.

Lu Chen touched his nose and said, "You have divorced Bei Minglin now, why are you still unwilling to accept me?"

Although Su Manyi's personality is not very gentle, she usually looks virtuous and generous. However, she will only release her temper in front of Lu Chen.

"Do I have to marry you after I divorce Bei Minglin? All men are bad. I plan to live alone for the rest of my life."

Lu Chen laughed, "I know you are scolding His Royal Highness Prince Chen, but there is still true love and true feelings in this world."

Su Manyi stopped and looked back, "True love? Okay, then you can tell Bei Mingchen not to marry the eldest princess, let him find Foxi and marry her home again, then I will not only believe in the so-called true love, but I will also marry you."

After saying that, Su Manyi turned around and left without waiting for Lu Chen's answer.

The maid followed closely behind Su Manyi. She looked at Su Manyi, then looked back at Lu Chen who was still standing there, and sighed softly.

If Young Master Lu had not left without saying goodbye at that time, he and the young lady would have been very happy.

Su Manyi walked out of the teahouse. First, the sound of joy entered her ears, and then the color red entered her eyes.

Looking up, she saw all kinds of red lanterns hanging on both sides of the street, and the red makeup was fluttering in the wind. A long red dragon extended from the door of the teahouse to the other side of the street. The red lanterns and the red dragon echoed each other, and even in this snowy sky, it could fill people 's hearts with hope and warmth.

Seeing this scene, she didn't know what she felt. On the one hand, she felt sorry for Foxi, and on the other hand, she was glad for the eldest princess. She was really happy.

The bustling streets made her pace slow down a lot involuntarily.

Luo Chen followed behind her, one in front and one behind, with white snow falling on their hair, which looked particularly beautiful against the red makeup.

The sound of gongs and drums came from far away and reached the ears of the crowd. They all stopped to watch. It was Bei Mingchen dressed in red, riding a tall horse towards the city gate.

Bei Mingchen couldn't hide his joy on his face. He hadn't seen Xi'er for a long time. Xi'er's belly must have grown a lot. After ten days, he and Xi'er will be together forever.

The wedding procession walked for several days before arriving at Lingxi Kingdom.

At this time, the whole city of Lingxi was also full of red makeup.

Bei Mingchen walked into the palace of Lingxi Kingdom, feeling extremely excited. He could finally see Xi'er, whom he had been thinking about day and night.

Yan Xi was called up by Yan Yin, Nan Le and a group of maids to dress up early this morning.

Nan Le checked all the rouge and powder she wanted to use and the clothes she wore before allowing the maids to dress her up.

Yan Xi was forced to sit in front of the bronze mirror for several hours, putting on layer after layer of makeup and clothes, which made her almost unable to breathe. She raised her head slightly, "Mother, it will take a few days to arrive in Anjun Kingdom. Please let me wear fewer clothes."

Yan Yin smiled and said, "It's very little already. Look at those boxes. Those are your real wedding clothes."

Nan Le was sorting out her dowry. When she heard this, she smiled and said, "You are a mother too, and you still like to throw a temper."

Yan Xi stuck out her tongue. She breathed a sigh of relief, feeling excited and helpless.

Finally dressed up, she was helped to stand up by everyone, and turned around in front of the bronze mirror. She looked at Nan Le in surprise, "Really, my belly doesn't seem to be that obvious anymore."

Nan Le put his hand on Yan Xi's waist, "Wait until night, and then loosen the wrap."

"Okay..."

Yan Xi was helped out of the bedroom by everyone, stepping on the red cloth all the way to the main hall.

In the main hall, Yan Yin, Shi Heng, Bei Mingchen and others all turned their heads to look at Yan Xi.

Yan Xi looked back, and she saw surprise in Bei Mingchen's eyes, and she smiled.

[Bei Mingchen, am I beautiful? ]

Bei Mingchen's smile deepened, and he quickly stepped forward to hold Yan Xi's hand, "Xi'er..."

"Well..."

After the two of them went through the complicated ceremony, they set off for Anjun Kingdom.

Before getting on the sedan chair, Yan Xi looked back at everyone and saw that everyone's eyes were full of reluctance.

Under the veil, Yan Xi smiled.

Bei Mingchen helped Yan Xi get on the sedan chair.

After Yan Xi sat down, she let out a long breath, stretched out her hand to lift the veil in front of her eyes, and rubbed her neck. The complicated jewelry pressed her neck so painfully.

Halfway through the journey, Yan Xi secretly lifted the curtain, looked at the street scene that was all red, and she smiled sweetly.

Bei Mingchen was afraid that Yan Xi's body could not bear it, so he spent more time resting than rushing. Finally, they arrived at Anjun Kingdom the day before the wedding.

Yan Xi lived in the post station, and the maids helped her bathe and change clothes. The next day, she was called up early to dress up.

Everyone in Anjun wanted to see what the Princess Chen looked like, so they gathered in front of the post station early in the morning to watch.

Bei Mingchen arrived at the post station on time. He was wearing a red robe, his hair was tied up with a golden crown, he had a smile on his face, his eyes narrowed into a crescent shape, and the corners of his mouth never fell.

Yan Xi was supported by a maid and walked out of the post station, and Bei Mingchen immediately stepped forward to take it.

Everyone stretched their necks to look, but the veil was covered very tightly, and they did not see what the Princess Chen looked like.

After Yan Xi sat in the sedan chair, the sound of gongs and drums rang again. She held the apple in her hands, and her heart was a little excited.

The sedan chair stopped, and a hand reached into the sedan chair. Yan Xi's heart was beating fast, and the excitement made her hand stronger. Then, the apple in her hand split into two petals.

She looked down at the apple in her hand, then at the hand that was stretched out, and somehow put half of the apple into that hand.

Bei Mingchen was stunned for a moment, what is this thing?

He pulled his hand out and took a look, and after seeing half of the apple clearly, he couldn't help but laugh twice, with a look, and immediately handed over another apple.

Bei Mingchen took it and handed it into the sedan chair. He was afraid that Xier would eat the apple, so he asked people to prepare an extra one.

Yan Xi took the apple, handed her hand to Bei Mingchen's hand, and then was helped by Bei Mingchen to walk down the sedan chair.

After a series of cumbersome steps, it was finally time to worship heaven and earth.

"First bow to heaven and earth!" Second bow to parents!"

"Husband and wife bow to each other!"

"Send to the bridal chamber!"

After bowing to heaven and earth, Yan Xi was sent to the bridal chamber. The former "Chen Xi Courtyard" became the current "Chen Xi Garden"...

Yan Xi sat on the wedding bed, the joy in her heart could no longer be described in words. Listening to the lively sounds outside, her face was full of smiles.

As soon as it got dark, the door was pushed open. Bei Mingchen walked in first, followed by a group of maids and old women.

Sprinkling peanuts, eating raw dumplings, drinking wedding wine...

These complicated etiquettes were all reduced a lot under the pressure of Bei Mingchen. The old women hurriedly completed the etiquette and retreated.

Bei Mingchen was satisfied. He turned his head to look at Yan Xi and lowered his head to kiss her on the lips.

"I finally married you, Xi'er."

Yan Xi put her arms around Bei Mingchen's neck, "I finally married you, Bei Mingchen."

Bei Mingchen untied the restraints on Yan Xi's belly and said softly, "Let's go take a bath."

"Okay..."
