king's concubine

Chapter 17 Not Enough
The marriage of the daughter of the Rong family was a sensation in the whole city of Kyoto. Everyone in the capital knew that the second daughter of Mr. Rong, who was born as a poor scholar, married the second prince of the current dynasty and climbed into the ranks of the royal relatives. Drank a cup of official and royal wedding wine.

Everyone was very happy when they were drinking, but at noon everyone laughed even more happily. In fact, nothing good happened, but the groom did not come, and it was a young steward of the ghost king's mansion who came to pick up the bride instead of the groom.

Although everyone doesn't want to add insult to injury, and the normal reaction should be to be angry and not angry, but who calls this person who is marrying a daughter a Ronghuatian, that Ronghuatian who oppresses good people and does nothing?
Everyone in Kyoto knows that the ghost king has disabled feet and stays at home, but because of this, few people have seen the ghost king Yu Wencan, so when the noon is approaching, the wedding procession is huge, and everyone sees the person at the front of the queue wearing a groom's uniform. When the man appeared, everyone was a little surprised—the second prince has good legs and feet, and he is also handsome...

The bridegroom stood up heroically and got off his horse to meet Master Rong, who had met him before, bowed and bowed, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Master Rong, I am Xia Houguo, the manager of the Second Highness's palace, and I am here to replace the Second Highness to come to welcome the bride this time."

Master Rong has been an official for many years and has naturally met Yu Wencan, so when he knew that the groom had arrived as scheduled, he went out to greet him and saw a strange figure, his expression sank without a trace.Xiahou Guo did a good job on the surface, he pretended not to notice and said: "It's noon, please get on the sedan chair."

When Xia Houguo said the first sentence, Rong Huazheng was being supported by Mrs. Rong and the matchmaker. Because of the bridegroom's arrival, the people present shocked the momentum of the Tian family and the audience became very quiet, so Rong Huazheng's words were all impartial. into the ear.

The face under the head cover remained the same, but the corners of the lips were slightly raised.This marriage seems quite interesting, even the groom is a substitute, and this substitute is not a brother of the Tian family but a low-status domestic servant...

Interesting, really interesting, who is the most reluctant person in this marriage?And what lies behind this reluctance?She suddenly became curious.

When the bride came out, everyone applauded, wondering why the dowry behind the bride was so amazing, why didn't there even be a maid?

Xia Hou Guo also saw this matter, he still bowed his waist calmly and waited for the bride to approach.

According to etiquette, when the bride leaves the gate, the matchmaker and mother hand over the bride to the groom, and the groom will lead the bride into the sedan chair.

It wasn't the bridegroom who came to marry him in person, he gave a sigh of relief to Mrs. Rong indirectly, she ignored the matchmaker's stiff expression and slightly pulled the Ronghua kite forward and handed her hand hidden under Kuanluo sleeves to Xia Houguo.

Xiahou Guo took it with a calm but respectful face, but left lightly as soon as the smooth material of the Xipao touched his palm.The texture of the wedding gown was very smooth, and the fine material rubbed against the slightly rough palms due to the master's force.Watching the touch of red in the palm slide away, Xiahou Guo was stunned for a moment by the warmth and softness left in the palm.

The sudden action of the bride made everyone dumbfounded, and the proud posture of her flinging her sleeves and leaving to get on the sedan chair by herself made people gasp even more.

At this moment, everyone had a question in their hearts, didn't she wear a hijab, why did she know where the sedan chair was?
However, everyone present only knew that Xiahou Guo, who was left behind, knew that when the bride passed by him, she said: "If you want to take me away, neither you nor the ghost king... are not qualified!"

The voice was shallow and faint, like a strand of blue silk, soft and moving, but also cold.

Xiahou Guo was taken aback.According to the rules, he still went to the sedan chair and bowed to inform: "Princess, the sedan chair is about to start, please pay attention to the princess." After saying this, he stood for a while without getting a response, then turned forward and got on the horse.
