Chapter 17 Qiankun Jade Cup (5)

On the ninth day of the ninth day, the weather was excellent.

Although this Li Rui was not liked by his emperor, Lao Tzu, after all, he had the title of a prince, and this time he was marrying a princess of another country.Early in the morning, the gift-giving officials who came from all over the world almost stepped through the threshold of Prince Rui's Mansion.

I sat in front of the bronze mirror, changed into my wedding dress under the service of the maids, and waited for Madam Hu to put on my makeup.Royal aristocrats, from makeup to hair buns, have a certain degree of attention. In the words of Madam Hu: "If you make a wrong step, the servants will also lose their heads."

Her technique is proficient and delicate, within the effort of a stick of incense, she tidied up my whole head perfectly.

She looked at me for a while, then smiled and said: "The princess will be the prince's real princess from today, and my slaves congratulate the princess."

I really didn't feel half of the joy, but I had to put on a look of anticipation on my face, and blinked my eyes and asked Madam Hu: "The main princess? Does the prince have any other side princesses in the mansion?"

Who would have thought that when she heard me ask this question, she would smile more ambiguously: "Princess, don't worry too much, the prince has not yet married a concubine. After the princess enters the palace today, she will be our rightful concubine and the only daughter in the palace." Owner."

I nodded, it couldn't be better.To avoid any other moths before completing the task.After all, I am really not good at Gongdou Zhaidou.

After some dressing up, it was time for the noon auspicious visit. Madam Hu covered me with a red hi-letter handkerchief, and while helping me to walk out the door, she did not forget to whisper: "I am here yesterday. Can the princess memorize the rules taught to the princess?"

I replied with a soft "hmm", "I remember it firmly."

She took my hand and walked out of the room slowly, my sight in front of me was completely blocked, I could only look at my feet, and walked forward cautiously.

When passing through the yard and entering the main hall, there were obviously people booing around.Then a big hand took me from Nanny Hu's.

Li Rui gently held the front half of my palm and led me to the center of the main hall to stop.

At this time, a shrill female voice sounded: "The auspicious time has come, I invite a couple of Bi people to come and marry me."

I saw a red cushion under my feet, so I knelt down according to the rules taught by Madam Hu, and then Li Rui also knelt beside her.

The ancient master of ceremonies then presided over: "One worship to heaven and earth."

Under the guidance of Madam Hu, I kowtowed towards the vast world outside the door, but I kept muttering in my heart: God has taught me, I have no choice but to do this.

"Two thanks to the high hall."

Concubine Yin, I'm sorry, although you are a nice person, I am destined to be your daughter-in-law in this life.

"Happy husband and wife."

As for Li Rui, you can only take it as your punishment for molesting me a few days ago.

After the basic ceremony is completed, it is time to offer tea.The maid came forward with a tea tray, and then handed a cup of tea to my hand.I held the cup in both hands, leaned forward slightly, and said through the kerchief, "Er Niang, please have some tea."

As soon as his hand was empty, someone took the cup, and then the familiar voice of Concubine Yin said softly, "Good boy."

After this series of tossing, the master of ceremonies finally announced the success of the ceremony, which also means that I can finally be free from now on.Mother Hu sent me into the bridal chamber, placed me on the edge of the bed and sat down, and said to me with a smile: "Princess, wait patiently, the old slave will leave first."

I nodded, and heard her footsteps walking towards the door, and the sound of the door being opened and closed.

I calculate that the current time is only 3 pm, and it is still 6 hours away from the auspicious time of the wedding ceremony.According to Xi Fengchao's rules, Li Rui should greet the guests in the lobby at this time, so that the big fish and big meat are having a good time.It's really unfair that I have to sit here with a turban covered, waiting for such a long time with an empty stomach.

Thinking about it, I decided to reach out and lift the handkerchief, and it was better to take a walk around the house than to sit.But as soon as he raised his hand, he remembered Hu's previous warning: "During the bridal chamber, you must not take off your hijab first. Because the first person to take off your red hijab is your husband. If you open it by yourself, it means that you will be lonely for a lifetime."

Although this is not really in the bridal chamber, although I have always advocated science and opposed superstition.

But when faced with such a situation, he felt a little guilty.This principle is like everyone does not want to be cursed, even if they know in their hearts that the curse will not work.

My hands were frozen in the air, and when I was making a difficult decision in my head, I heard footsteps approaching.The first reaction was that Li Rui was here, but after thinking about it carefully, it shouldn't be Li Rui at this point in time.Looking down again, there are a pair of men's feet in sight, wearing black cloth shoes, thinking that the palace will not send a man to serve me, I figured in my heart that the person who came should be Shen Yuan.

I put my hands back on my lap and confirmed in a low voice: "Shen Yuan?"

As soon as the words fell, his hand lifted my veil.I saw him standing in front of me, with a smile in his black eyes: "Why is no one still wearing this thing?"

I was taken aback, looking at the kerchief he was holding in his hand at this moment, speechless for a long time.

He put the headkerchief on the Eight Immortals table in front of the bed.Seeing that I was still in a trance, he waved his hand in front of my eyes and joked: "Why, you are too deep into the drama?"

I stared at him, thinking for a while.It took a while before he said, "Morning...morning."

He sat down on a single stool in front of the table, seemed to be in a good mood, and joked with me: "How does this ancient wedding feel? When you return to the Qing Dynasty, you can find a good match. Getting a modern one is considered a fulfilling life.”

I felt hot at the base of my ears, and I couldn't control my eyes, and I kept glancing at the kerchief on the table from time to time.I thought to myself, if only what Madam Hu said was true.

Seeing that I never responded, Shen Yuan probably realized that he had actually told a bad joke.He pretended to clear his throat, and said in a deep voice, "I found out the whereabouts of the Qiankun Jade Cup."

I was traveling in space, and after hearing what he said, I said "Ah" and asked, "Then where is it now?"

He raised his good-looking eyebrows and said with a smile, "It's in this room."

As he spoke, he picked up a teacup on the table and played with it, and said lightly: "It's really hard to find a place to find it, and it doesn't take much effort to get it. During this time, I searched the treasure house of Prince Rui's Mansion and there was no clue. I didn't expect that Li Rui would put this rare treasure on the table with great fanfare for tea."

I looked at the crystal clear jade cup in Shen Yuan's hand and said, "Use everything to its full potential. No matter how valuable it is, it's just a cup. A cup must be a good container."

He put the jade cup in his hand back on the table, tilted his head to look at me and said, "You are more transparent than those academicians in the museum."
