The Grand Princess

Chapter 36: marriage

On the eve of marriage, the whole palace was busy working up and down, and no one could sleep well. Only Li Rong, who slept until dawn, was full of vitality in life.

She had nothing to worry about. The only thing she was worried about was that the Princess Mansion gave her a message last night that Pei Wenxuan would give her a gift so she didn't have to thank her.

She was a little panicked when she heard this, always feeling that Pei Wenxuan was going to do something unreliable.

But if you come, you will be at ease, and she didn't think too much.

When she got up early in the morning, she started dressing up according to the procedure, and then went to visit the Empress Dowager and the Emperor Empress in turn. After lunch, she changed into her wedding dress and waited for the auspicious time.

All this is not much different from the previous life, but in the previous life, she actually didn't know who she was married to. She was worried, hopeful, and worried about the future.

So she always asks the people next to him, what kind of person Pei Wenxuan is, is he really as good-looking as the painting, how is his family, he...

Thinking of herself in the previous life, Li Rong couldn't help but laugh. At this time, there was a voice from the ceremonial officer singing and drinking auspicious words. Jinglan walked in and said with a smile: "Princess, the hour is here, get up."

Li Rong responded and raised her hand to block in front of her with a gold group fan embroidered with peony.

The tuan fan covered all the sights in front of her. Li Rong lowered her eyes, feeling that someone was supporting her from the left and right. Li Rong moved forward, wearing a thick costume. If she was an ordinary person, she would have been crushed and trembling. Li Rong is extremely relaxed, she looks like a bamboo, walking like a lotus, with a dignified and elegant posture, with a luxury that ordinary people can't match.

Heavenly imperial family, a century-old high school, and noble family advancing, may not see the difference on weekdays, but at the moment of adding to the Chinese clothing, you will notice the subtle difference. It's like making tea in a clear spring. Wherever the landscape is, between the lips and teeth, there is a difference.

Li Rong followed the lead of others. She felt that she was stepping on the soft red carpet, feeling that there seemed to be petals falling on her body around her. She heard the ceremonial officers standing next to each other chanting words of blessing as she walked by. Joyful, distant music from not far away.

She walked for a long time, not knowing where to stop, and Jinglan reminded her next to her: "His Royal Highness, we are in front of the palace gate."

Li Rong answered, and then came the voice of the courtesy officer asking her to thank the emperor and empress.

Li Rong was supported by the maid next to him, and turned towards Li Ming and Shangguanyue who were dressed up, and then Li Rong was supported by others, kneeling down slowly, and bowing to Li Ming and Shangguanyue.

She moved very steadily, even when she bowed her head, her pendant didn't move halfway. Li Ming watched Li Rong bowing, his voice was dumb and he said the words of blessing he had prepared.

Then the ceremonial officer sang to see Shangguanyue again, and Li Rong bowed in the direction of Shangguanyue again.

When Shangguanyue looked at Li Rong, her eyes blushed, but she still said her congratulations to her daughter in a cry of manners.

Then he waited for the courtesy officer to finish the congratulatory speech before the attendant helped Li Rong up. Li Rong had just got up and was about to turn and leave with the maid's movements, feeling that someone came forward and suddenly took her hand.

"Rong'er," Shangguanyue's voice choked, "You have to live a good life, promise your mother, you will live a good life."

When Li Rong heard this, she couldn't help feeling sour. She restrained her emotions and said gently: "Don't worry about your mother, your child ministers can come back to visit your mother every day. It's no different from the past. Sorrowful, lost demeanor."

After listening to Li Rong's advice, Shangguanyue slowly let go.

Li Rong turned around and was supported by someone to the horse. She felt a pair of calm hands stretched out and held her up and said, "Sister, I will block the car for you."

The wedding banquet was held in the princess mansion, and Pei Wenxuan would take Pei family to the princess mansion in advance to make arrangements.

According to Daxia's customs, people would stop the car on the way from the palace to the princess mansion, and the palace would send a special person in front to throw money to clear the road for these people, just for the chariot. Li Rong thought he would arrange a courtesy officer, but he didn't expect that the crown prince would block the car himself.

Li Rong didn’t know what was wrong. She obviously felt that she should not have so many emotions after living for so many years. But when she heard Li Ming’s dumb voice, she felt that Shangguan Yue was holding her hand and being helped by Li Chuan. The moment she got into the car, she felt that she suddenly seemed to be eighteen years old.

She thought she was in love with her, and she would be happy and sad because of a few words from her family.

She sat in the car and opened the door of the same palace with time. She has been trying to restrain her emotions and let herself think about things that would make her calm and happy.

For example, after the palace gate opened, Pei Wenxuan would stand in front of the palace gate and wait for him.

Pei Wenxuan, this dog thing, will say something nice to her after a while.

In fact, the welcoming was supposed to be done by Pei Wenxuan's brother, and Pei Wenxuan could kneel and welcome her with Pei's family in front of the princess mansion.

But in the previous life, Pei Wenxuan did not have a reliable brother. Pei Wenxuan did not dare to hand over such a big matter to his brothers, or perhaps no brother was willing to do it, so Pei Wenxuan came by himself and wrote a widely spread article "Yinfeng Ci", read as a congratulatory speech in front of the palace, probably means that he can marry her is a blessing from heaven, and he dare not live up to this blessing, so he wants to pick her up by himself.

She didn't think about it at the time, but now she wants to come to the logic of this.

At that time, she was sitting in the sedan chair, listening to him chanting poems, feeling shy and joyful, she didn't think much.

If you think about it, you will know how difficult it was for Pei Wenxuan at that time.

If you are not alone, how can you be so grandiose?

Li Rong thought to herself that she felt that Pei Wenxuan was also a little bit pitiful for a while. Such emotions diminished her sadness a little. She took a deep breath and heard from outside feeling that the curtain in front was being rolled up, and then she heard the message from the front. A familiar voice came: "Weichen Su Rongqing, let's announce for Yi brother Pei Shi, and welcome Princess Pingle."

Hearing this, Li Rong suddenly widened her eyes, she froze in place, and then listened to Su Rongqing starting to recite the compliment written by Pei Wenxuan.

When Su Rongqing came, Pei Wenxuan would naturally not write "Yinfeng Ci" like in his previous life, a well-mannered parallel written by Su Rongqing in front of him.

From the initial surprise, Li Rong quickly calmed down, listening to Su Rongqing reciting her words of praise, until at the end, she heard Su Rongqing’s voice for a while, but he uttered again very quickly: "Love can be chased. Sun and moon, Xu Qixi peach blossoms in the coming year."

This is when Pei Wenxuan merged the love poem given to her by Su Rongqing from the previous life into this parallel essay.

Although the parallel prose was not written by Su Rongqing, it bears the shadow of Su Rongqing.

Li Rong couldn't tell what it felt like, regret and sorrow, mixed with a little bit of helplessness, and, vaguely, unspeakably, complete.

She had been with Su Rongqing for twenty-five years in her previous life. She didn't understand what kind of relationship it was.

But once in a while, there will indeed be some regrets.

I felt that perhaps Su Rongqing should be given an identity.

However, this kind of regret, at this moment, in an invisible way, seems to be filled, and it seems like farewell.

This emotion was too mixed, and layer by layer superimposed with the previous emotions, making her rarely confused.

Fortunately, she didn't need to do too much, so she held the fan in her hand and sat quietly in the car. After listening to the ceremonial officer and Su Rongqing according to the procedure, the car curtain was lowered in front of her.

Before the car curtain was lowered, she quietly lowered her ball fan and saw Su Rongqing not far away.

As he remembered, with a white robe and jade crown, he quietly looked at her carriage.

He seemed to perceive her peeking at him, and Li Rong hurriedly resumed her movements, feeling a little flustered.

Fortunately, the carriage moved forward slowly. Before she had time to panic, she listened to the noise of the surrounding people, calling her name loudly. She didn't squint, and only heard Li Chuan in front of her who seemed happy, sprinkling money. In auspicious words, please let the people go.

At dusk, she finally arrived at the gate of the princess mansion. She was sitting in the carriage and heard the familiar voice of Pei Wenxuan: "Weichen Pei Wenxuan, I have seen your Highness."

As he said, he heard the sound of a bunch of people kneeling down.

Li Rong didn’t move. He heard that the curtain in front of him was pulled open. Then the maid came forward, helped her out of the carriage, and then Pei Wenxuan came forward and put a piece of red silk in her hand. Wen Xuan led her in front, and the maid beside her supported her from left to right. After leading her across the brazier, she walked all the way into the lobby.

Then they fought side by side, holding a piece of red silk in each hand, Pei Wenxuan lowered his voice and asked in a low voice: "I gave you a gift, do you like it?"

"Go back and talk about it."

When Li Rong heard that there was a hint of inviting credit in his tone, he became angry and restrained his emotions in warning him.

Pei Wenxuan felt a little bit of an ominous feeling in his heart. But he thought about it for a while, and felt that Li Rong probably couldn't think about it for a while. This was something that he needed to call. Now it is normal to blame him. When he said it, Li Rong figured it out.

He sighed silently, and heard the ceremonial officials sing and drink, and like Li Rong in his previous life, he worshiped the heaven and earth princes and then each other.

Pei Wenxuan clearly remembered that Li Rong's phoenix crown pierced his head when he worshipped in the previous life, so he was prepared this time and stayed away from her.

However, Li Rong wanted to vent her anger, so she stooped a little bit more than normal, and tried to make Fengguan poke forward a little bit, thinking that he could poke him like the previous life, and he had to endure it better.

Pei Wenxuan felt her intention when she bent over, and wanted to take a small step back, Li Rong directly lowered her voice: "Dare you?!"

Pei Wenxuan also knew the crowds, he didn't dare to move anymore, so he could only bite the bullet and took Li Rongfeng's crown.

Li Rongzhi stabbed him, and her heart suddenly became more open. After she got up, she was helped by the maid and went to the backyard. Pei Wenxuan was then released to accompany the wine. Pei Wenxuan couldn’t help but raised his hand to cover the stabbed forehead, and Li Chuan walked over. Behind him, he glanced at him and said, "What are you doing with your head? Is your brain broken?"

Pei Wenxuan: "..."

This elder brother really hurts people exactly the same way.

"His Royal Highness is joking," Pei Wenxuan put down his hands, "His Royal Highness, let's sit down first, and the minister will come to entertain you later."

"What are you entertaining?" Li Chuan rolled up his sleeves, "go, today the orphan will help you entertain them. You control it. Don't go to see my sister when you get drunk."

With that, Li Chuan grabbed Pei Wenxuan, together with Su Rongqing, who was already chatting with others, and greeted everyone to the table.

Today, almost all the civil and military personnel of the Manchu dynasty came. Su Rongqing was the bridesmaid invited by Pei Wenxuan. He was familiar with everyone in the dynasty. With Li Chuan, no one dared to embarrass Pei Wenxuan for a while, and would not deliberately drink too much alcohol. But there were too many people who couldn't bear it. Su Rongqing and Li Chuan fell down first, leaving Pei Wenxuan alone, one by one to finish the last table.

At the beginning, he would still be leisurely, but as soon as Su Rongqing and Li Chuan left, no one persuaded him. In the follow-up, he only needs to listen to people wishing him and Li Rong. If he doesn't know what, he will finish drinking without any ambiguity.

He couldn't tell whether he was drunk or not. He was always smiling, and his expression was calm. He looked like a okay person. After a round of respecting, everyone was amazed that Pei Wenxuan was too drunk. Pei Wenxuan knew he was. I was a little drunk, but it shouldn’t be a big deal. After greeting everyone, I went to see Li Chuan and Su Rongqing who were resting on the sidelines. Su Rongqing came back a little bit. Li Chuan was still holding his head and felt a little uncomfortable. Pei Wenxuan looked at the two of them and couldn’t help. Said: "You take a break first, I'll go back first."

Su Rongqing nodded, waved her hand and said nothing, Pei Wenxuan hesitated for a moment, and bowed: "Thank you Brother Su today."

"Go ahead."

Su Rongqing finally spoke, only saying: "Don't let the beauty down."

Pei Wenxuan laughed: "I don't think I failed."

Su Rongqing looked up a little dazedly when he heard what he said. Pei Wenxuan bowed his head and said to Li Chuan, "His Royal Highness, the minister retires."

"You treat my sister well," Li Chuan said hoarsely, "I'm just a sister, you treat her well, you know?"

When Pei Wenxuan heard this, even if he knew that Li Chuan was talking drunk, he still raised his hand in front of him and solemnly said: "Weichen abides by the order."

Li Chuan was a little uncomfortable, he turned his head, waved his hand, and signaled Pei Wenxuan to leave quickly.

Pei Wenxuan was led to the backyard by the servants. In fact, he was very familiar with this princess mansion, but everyone treated him as the first time and guided them carefully, and he thought it was a little strange.

When he reached the door, he saw Jinglan Jingmei guarding the door. When he looked up and saw him coming, both of them pursed their lips and laughed. That scene overlapped with the previous life in an instant, and Pei Wenxuan couldn't help but froze.

The maid next to him whispered: "Screw?"

Pei Wenxuan returned to his senses in a daze, nodded and said: "Report it."

"His Royal Highness," Jinglan turned her head and turned inward, "Hey Ma is here."

"Go in."

Li Rong's voice came from inside. Pei Wenxuan didn't know what was wrong. Hearing Li Rong's voice, he suddenly became a little nervous.

Jinglan opened the door and led Pei Wenxuan in. Then a bunch of people came in, took many plates, and stood on the side one by one.

Pei Wenxuan was led to Li Rong. He looked at the girl in front of him. She was wearing a wedding gown that was different from the previous life. The original peony was changed to a phoenix. This change made him feel that this wedding was not A reenactment seems to be a brand new and different wedding. Because it was similar but not similar to Pei Wenxuan's memory, Pei Wenxuan suddenly had some expectations. He looked at Li Rong and couldn't help but feel a little stunned.

Everyone smiled and glanced at each other. The maid brought the first plate over with a pen and ink on rice paper, and sent it to Pei Wenxuan.

"Music," Jinglan respectfully said, "please write poetry but fan."

When Pei Wenxuan heard this, he came back to his senses. Li Rong held up a fan and said indifferently: "Write well, if you don't write well, I will make you look good."

Upon hearing this, the girls in the room burst into laughter. Pei Wenxuan felt a little helpless. He took the pen, and after hesitating for a while, dropped it.

Half-awake, half-drunk, half-life dream, bright moon, bright heart, this period.

If the beautiful lady half looks back, I will not leave Cangshan not old.

Pei Wenxuan originally wanted to write casually, but after writing down, he couldn't control it. After finishing this, the maid next to him came to pick it up. Pei Wenxuan couldn't help but hold down the page. The maid raised her head in doubt, "Her horse? "

Pei Wenxuan did not move. He felt a little embarrassed, as if someone had been spying on his heart, and he felt that his actions at this time were even more embarrassing.

He did not move, and the maid dared not move. Li Rong saw that there was no movement next to him, and said directly: "Is the poem written?"

"Return to Your Highness, it's finished."

The maid said, raising her eyes to Pei Wenxuan, and cautiously said: "Must?"

Pei Wenxuan was quite at a loss what to do and withdrew his hand. Li Rong already knew that he had finished writing, and it seemed too deliberate to write again.

It's just that fans of poems usually praise girls' beauty, and he always feels that he will swear to each other when he comes up, which is a bit too embarrassing.

In particular, the half-awake, half-drunk and half-life dream was written earlier. In Li Rong's view, would it be a hint of their past life.

The more Pei Wenxuan thought about it, the more flustered he became. He didn't dare to think too much. He pretended to be calm and waited for Li Rong to take the poem. Li Rong held a fan in one hand and read the poem in the other. It's bad, but I don't know why. When I saw it, she was still so moved.

Perhaps it was the half-waking half-drunk half-life dream that made her empathize.

Or maybe the phrase Cangshan is not old, I will never leave, which makes her a little yearning.

Li Rong calmed down and smiled: "It's really good."

With that, Li Rong slowly put down the fan.

The first thing she showed were her eyes. She had a pair of smart and beautiful eyes, which seemed to be phoenix eyes outlined in pen and ink, with a little smile.

That smile was different from the last life. She looked at him at this moment, with joy in shyness. Now she looks at him like an old acquaintance, and faintly laughed.

Then there was her tall nose, thin lips dyed in color, and the lines of her entire face. The beauty was luxurious, and Pei Wenxuan couldn't help but look dumbfounded.

The maid next to him wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. Li Rong looked at Pei Wenxuan for a long time and couldn't help but laughed, "Is the Madam satisfied?"

"Satisfied." Pei Wenxuan subconsciously returned to his senses and blurted out.

The people next to him suddenly laughed. Li Rong copied the peanuts on the bed from the side and threw them at him. He smiled and said, "Bold, dare to speak to this palace."

Hearing Li Rong's voice, Pei Wenxuan smiled, slowly slowing down, and hurriedly said, "I was wrong," said Pei Wenxuan with a smile, "I hope the princess will forgive me."

"Too lazy to talk to you."

Li Rong scoffed at him and stood up. The maid next to him brought the plate up again. Li Rong picked up the wine glass and raised her chin to Pei Wen. Pei Wenxuan lowered his head and chuckled, and walked over, also picked up the wine glass. The two held hands in front of everyone. Looped around and raised a glass to his lips.

Pei Wenxuan raised his eyes and glanced at Li Rong, who was close to him. Seeing him looking at her, Li Rong raised an eyebrow and said, "What do I do?"

"The beautiful woman serves wine," Pei Wenxuan smiled lightly, "How can we not look at the beautiful woman?"

"Would you like to drink a few more glasses?" Li Rong smiled and asked again, "Will I give you an altar?"

"It's fine," Pei Wenxuan said hurriedly, "a cup is enough."

After speaking, the two drank the wine.

Then followed the process and said some auspicious words, and finally completed the whole process, and everyone quit.

When everyone retreated, the two of them were immediately discouraged. Li Rong was soft, sitting directly on the side of the bed, leaning against the bed rail, and sighed: "I'm tired."

Pei Wenxuan sat next to her, leaned on the other side, and sighed: "Me too."

The two remained silent. After a while, Li Rong couldn't help but said, "Why didn't they help me remove the phoenix crown and take off my clothes so that I could sleep well?"

"This is probably the husband's business."

Pei Wenxuan blurted out, and Li Rong couldn't help but look over after hearing this.

Pei Wenxuan noticed Li Rong's gaze, turned his head and looked at him, before looking at each other, Pei Wenxuan felt an ominous premonition: "What do you want to do?"

"Do you know how much my phoenix crown is?"

"You know," Pei Wenxuan raised his finger to his hair crown, "How many catties are on my head?"

"Is it heavy with me?"

After Li Rong asked, Pei Wenxuan was silent. Li Rong leaned on the bed rail and beckoned: "Quick, come to tear it down."

"Oh my God."

Pei Wenxuan wailed in pain, but he still confessed his fate, after all, now they don't want to call people in to help them undress.

Pei Wenxuan struck up the last bit of energy, first raised his hand to take off his hair crown, took off his heavy coat, then climbed onto the bed, knelt behind Li Rong, and began to remove the phoenix crown for Li Rong.

It wasn't the first time that he did it. He did it last time. He vaguely remembered some procedures, yawning and dismantling.

Li Rong felt that he was fighting with Fengguan behind her, holding the last trace of saneness, and said with difficulty: "Pei Wenxuan."

"Ok?"

"Why did you let Su Rongqing come to pick me up?"

"Can we discuss this issue tomorrow?"

Pei Wenxuan took off Li Rong's phoenix coronet, and moved off the bed with various fixed hairpins and put it on the table.

Li Rong leaned on the bed, looking at Pei Wenxuan who came back exhausted, and said: "Pei Wenxuan."

Pei Wenxuan hadn't gotten into bed yet, but he just responded, "Huh?"

"I still have clothes to take off."

"You want me to take off my clothes?" Pei Wenxuan turned his head bitterly, "You take it off yourself?"

"I'm so tired."

Li Rong turned to look at him: "And what you said, it was her husband."

Pei Wenxuan choked, Li Rong stared at him with a pitiful look in his eyes. Pei Wenxuan sighed and could only say, "You stand up."

Li Rong supported herself to stand up, Pei Wenxuan helped her unload the belt first, then grabbed all the clothes into a handful, and took them together, leaving a single shirt inside.

Li Rong felt that she was relieved instantly and fell directly onto the bed.

Pei Wenxuan grabbed a pile of clothes and looked at Li Rong, who had consciously climbed onto the bed. He felt more tired than he had, and couldn't help saying: "You sleep in bed, where do I sleep?"

"Where to sleep where to sleep."

Li Rong got into the bed: "My palace is about to rest."

He also wants to rest! !

Pei Wenxuan felt desperate when he thought that he would go to the floor shop at this time.

He took a deep breath to let himself not be too anxious. After putting Li Rong's clothes on, he turned around to look through the cabinet. Li Rong heard Pei Wenxuan's sound of turning over the cabinet. She thought for a while, poked her head out, and looked at Pei Wenxuan: " Would you like to sleep together?"

Pei Wenxuan froze and stuttered: "No... OK?"

Li Rong thought for a while, she didn't care about this, but Pei Wenxuan was still very cautious about this kind of thing. Now they say they are allies, Pei Wenxuan is definitely going to defend himself to the end. Although her idea was to divide his half of the bed, Pei Wenxuan might feel that he had tainted his virginity along with the bed.

So Li Rong decided to respect him and said: "Oh, then I will rest first."

After speaking, Li Rong closed her eyes and went to sleep. She was really too sleepy and tired.

Pei Wenxuan turned his back to Li Rong, a little surprised, is this over?

Li Rong stopped persuading him?

In fact, he still... still... really wants to go to bed.

He is really too tired now and doesn't want to hit the floor at all. He can guarantee that he won't touch Li Rong's finger and never cross the line.

Li Rong's steady breathing sounded quickly, Pei Wenxuan hesitated for a moment, and he made a major decision.

He decided to go to bed.

Even if Li Rong kicked him down, he would still sleep in bed.

After making this decision, he felt a lot more relaxed. He hugged the quilt and returned to bed happily.

The bed was big, and Li Rong was curled up in the innermost area, wrapping the whole person in a quilt. A small person who lost his usual pride and temperament looked pitiful and cute.

An invisible softness slowly spread in Pei Wenxuan's heart. He spread a quilt on the very edge and then fell asleep in the quilt.

There was a long distance between them. He was on the outermost side, and seemed to cut off all wind and rain for her, encircling her a small world.

For a moment, he suddenly felt a sweet, proud, unspeakable, and undiscovered feeling.

He felt he was guarding her.

His Royal Highness the eldest princess.

The author has something to say: [Small Theater]

Q: What do you think of this drama?

Li Rong: Helpless, sad, and a spider web, everyone is stuck on it and can't move.

Su Rongqing: Conspiracy, **** hatred.

Pei Wenxuan:? ? ? I... I thought this was a sweet article? Are we here to fall in love?

All of the full text cast a shocked look.

Pei Wenxuan: ...I'm sorry to bother you.
