Manifest Marriage I

Marriage is not a trivial matter, but thinking that Li Shiqi would give up even the royal honor for sister Duan, Lian Zhou agreed.

The wedding is set for August.

Thanks to her calling "sister-in-law", Lianzhou is not afraid of offending His Majesty, and even arranges the wedding for them.

Got the news from the dark guard that Li Chengsi was facing the direction of the imperial mausoleum and stayed up all night.Angry, sad, sad, tangled.

The eldest brother is like a father, and the queen and the queen are not around. Shi Qi's wedding must be arranged by him. He will definitely give Shi Qi the best wedding and the biggest ostentation, so that the entire Xunyang people will remember this unrivaled celebration.

However, Shi Qi didn't care.

She would rather marry Shen Duan and find a woman to live her whole life than enjoy the natural glory and respect.

Li Chengsi's younger sister had to keep her marriage a secret, she couldn't see the light, she couldn't get blessings from more people, and if she was abandoned by Shen Duan one day, no one would say a word of injustice to her.

The young His Majesty's brows were filled with endless depression.He couldn't kill Shen Duan, and he couldn't get used to it.Being an emperor did his job, he gave a wry smile.

Tomorrow, tomorrow seventeen will be a man with a family.

The two brothers and sisters have come to this day, and the royal sister is marrying the woman she likes, but the eldest brother cannot be present.He was afraid that if he went, he couldn't help but take Shi Qi away.

"Still thinking about those?"

"A Yu..." Li Chengsi hugged the woman's plump body, revealing a fragility that an emperor could not.

The queen put her hand on her husband's head, stroking her gently, her tone was distressed and she pretended to be relaxed and teased: "Seventeen is still the same as before, so she knows how to bully you. You also love her. Spoiled. She didn't call you when she got married, I was implicated by you, otherwise I could still see the bride."

She was pregnant, and Li Chengsi didn't want her to worry about it, and he also knew that the phrase "meet the bride" had a bit of sincerity.

When he was a child, Ah Yu liked Shi Qi, but in terms of preference, he still preferred him as the crown prince the most.Ah Yu admired him, and it was different when he was young.

Every time Shiqi's nonsense made him angry, most of the time it was Ah Yu who found Shiqi and persuaded him somehow, and the next day Shiqi would come to confess his mistake with a smile.

The attitude of admitting mistakes is not awkward, Li Chengsi has a good temper and is angry in his heart. He seized the opportunity to mess up the emperor's sister's hair, and in exchange for her complaining softly, the anger dissipated.

"Well, how about Ah Yu going there for me." After speaking, he felt inappropriate again, shaking his head: "No, you are pregnant..."

The light in Li Chengsi's eyes dimmed, and he gritted his teeth suddenly: "I hate Shen Duan so much! But Shi Qi is getting married for the first time, and if there is no one in the royal family to support her, what should Shen Duan do if she bullies her? My silly sister, really stupid."

He has mixed feelings here, has known and loved each other for many years, the queen showed her face: "I will go and see for you, and I will tell you when I come back."

"I still don't approve of this marriage."

After a long time, he sneered: "Two girls? What do you think Shen Duan taught her? Seventeen nights, she told me that she is the first princess, the golden branch and jade leaf that the father promised to be treated equally with the prince. A big wedding should also be married, not married.

How can a woman succeed?Or is it that she wants to learn from the marquis of Lin Chun and conquer the six kingdoms across the battlefield?Or, do you want to learn from the empress who did not know how many years ago, who ruled the world with her dragon robe?Father is the most taboo about this matter! "

It was tabooed by the first emperor, and it was also tabooed by him.

The Queen's smile was full of sarcasm: "Your Majesty, my concubine... isn't she also a woman?"

As the wind blew across his cheeks, Li Chengsi was startled suddenly, knowing that he had slipped his words: "A Yu, I'm not..."

"I know. I know that men in the world don't want women to be in power, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics." The queen didn't get angry with him.

Because I know that this is the arrogance brought by the bones of men, the prejudice between men and women bred by the soil of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the deep fear of emperors for women throughout the ages.

She knows it all.So she smiled: "You often say that Seventeen is your younger sister, and she is a noble person different from the world. She just wants to be a prince and does not want to be inferior to men. You also feel offended by this. Then you are the emperor and seventeen." What is coming?

It is you who say she is different, and it is you who do not believe that she is capable.Ah Si, you don't mean what you say. "

Such rebellious words, only the queen dared to say it.

"I have nothing wrong with my heart."

He refused to admit it, and the queen gently stroked his trembling shoulders: "Don't let love become a shackle, don't teach Shi Qi to be afraid of you, the emperor's brother. Ah Si..."

wedding ceremony

.In the evening, a small courtyard next to Zhou's house was decorated with red lanterns and red lanterns.

Li Shiqi wore a bright and luxurious wedding dress and a phoenix crown, and walked out slowly with the support of Lianzhou.

On the wedding hall, Shen Duan was dressed the same as her, with lip balm and makeup on his cheeks. His whole body was bright and colorful, and there was no trace of coldness. Both of them didn't wear hijabs on their heads, and they faced each other openly and frankly. The people who came to watch the ceremony.

There were seven guests.

Song Ran was taken aback when she received the wedding invitation. She couldn't believe that Dean Shen, who was indifferent and dignified and devoted himself to teaching and educating people, would have something to do with His Royal Highness Seventeen.

The two were deeply implicated, and it was only at this time that the truth was revealed. In the dead of night, she couldn't help sighing: It's no wonder that His Majesty demoted the most beloved imperial sister to a commoner.Your Majesty, it must be unacceptable.

During the three days when the wedding invitation was delivered, she kept it close to her body so as not to be seen by others.The dean and Seventeen sincerely invited her, and she dared not live up to this intention, she dressed up early and came here according to the estimated time.

I met He Qiu on the road...

She glanced at the well-behaved and tender-faced He Qiu with complicated emotions, and noticed her gaze. The handsome young man raised his lips and smiled at her, with red lips and white teeth, soft and waxy.

Yes, Shen Duan and Li Shiqi's big wedding, He Qiu also came.

She had the cheek to follow Song Ran.

Along the way, Song Ran drove her away four times but did not drive her away. When He Qiu came and saw Dean Shen dressed up, he saluted respectfully.

I didn't expect "he" to come.

Shen Duan looked at Song Ran inadvertently, Song Ran's face was hot, and he glared at He Qiu, who was cute and handsome.

He Qiu chuckled, showing no airs of being the third prince of Yun.

Also attending the wedding banquet were Aunt Hua, Shen Duan's elder sister and second sister who had already married.The number of people is pitifully small.

Seeing them, Li Shiqi smiled happily.

Just smiling, Ping An whispered a few words to Zhou Jing's side.Zhou Jing said: "The Queen has come to congratulate you."

"Sister-in-law?" Li Shiqi opened his round eyes nervously: "She is not raising a baby in the palace, what is she doing here?"

When the queen was invited in, she just heard this sentence and laughed: "Of course I'm here to attend your wedding banquet. By the way, let's see you."

She came here to present a congratulatory speech herself, and to take a look on Li Chengsi's behalf. Thirdly, she looked at Shen Duan, who was very different from the past and was full of joy. ..."

When she shouted, everyone who was shocked remembered to salute.

Seeing the third prince from Yunguo inside, she didn't change her expression: "No need to be too polite, I'm here, just want to hear these two people call "sister-in-law". "

The eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother.After paying homage to the heaven and earth, the parents, and then the wife and wife bowed to each other. At the moment when the ceremony was completed, the queen looked at Shen Duan fixedly: "It's better to stay at the seventeenth, you know?"

Shen Duan said seriously: "Yes..."

The arm was touched by the bride beside her, and she added: "Yes, sister-in-law."

Shen Duan's elder sister is a very cultivated woman, well-informed and broad-minded. She holds her sister-in-law's hand and looks kindly: "Don't be used to Duan Duan, she is used to pretending to be serious, she likes it in her heart, and hides it in her heart." I don't want to say too much, if she doesn't know how to coax you, you can beat her, but if you can't beat her, come and find my sister, both sisters are for you."

Li Shiqi blushed when he was coaxed by these words. The person who was always glib and talkative, now lowered his head shyly, hummed softly, causing everyone to laugh.

The wedding banquet began, and after drinking two glasses of wedding wine, the queen left in a low-key manner.She can't stay for long, Li Chengsi is still waiting in the palace.

The banquet for seven people is extremely rich.The wedding banquet organized by the aristocratic family was managed by Lianzhou, avoiding extravagance and waste, and won everyone's praise.Guests and hosts enjoy themselves...

"Brother Jing, sister-in-law, Duan Duan and I would like to offer you a toast." Li Shiqi was slightly drunk, his eyes flushed: "On the day of my great joy, I will give this happiness to you. I wish brother Jing and sister-in-law Lian Zhou, I With Duan Duan, we can all be happy and complete forever!"

His Majesty is guarding the Queen's bedroom.

As soon as the queen came back, Li Chengsi retreated from the servant girl, took her by the hand and entered the inner room, endured it, and finally said: "How is it?"

"very good……"

"very good?"

"Three entered the courtyard, and there were seven people attending the banquet. The elder sister Shen, the second elder sister, the master of the day family, Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Hua, the daughter of the Song family, and the third prince from Yunguo. Seventeen is very beautiful, with full facial features happy."

Seventeen is naturally beautiful, and Li Chengsi was shaken by the phrase "happy": "Can't I stop her?" He asked again: "Why did the third prince Yun go to the banquet? If he Go out and talk nonsense to ruin Seventeen's reputation—”

"Ai, Ai, you are too nervous." The queen hugged him: "Relax, Seventeen has grown up."

At the end of the wedding banquet, the drunk Li Shiqi was carried into the wedding room by Shen Duan.

Zhou Jing was toasted with a lot of wine, Shen Duan's temperament was not bad at all as what Shen's elder sister said, coquettish, awkward, he just wanted to thank her, and wanted to drink her cup after cup.She is a good drinker, and she is only slightly drunk at the moment.

The two elder sisters of the Shen family cleaned up the mess, it was getting late, and the guests dispersed happily.

The house next door is only a few steps away, Lian Zhou and his sweetheart walked hand in hand under the moonlight: "I've never seen Sister Duan laughing like this before."

"Get married, how can you be unhappy?" Zhou Jing shook her hand: "Where is Zhou Zhou, when will you give me a real flower candle?"

Lianzhou drank wine, and her words and deeds were more relaxed than when she was sober. She looked at someone with a smile hanging from the end of her eyes, and leaned half of her body over: "Ah Jing, teach me again..."

"how to teach?"

"Precepts and deeds..."

Zhou Jing laughed, bent over and hugged her for the remaining few steps.

With soft arms wrapped around her neck, Lian Zhou let out a shallow hum in her throat, lingering in the smell of alcohol, and suddenly an exaggerated joke sounded in her ears, her heart trembled, and she hurriedly said: "No!"

"If you can't, then you can't." Zhou Jing hugged her and walked faster.

The stars and the moon are in the sky...

Song Ran is the daughter of the aristocratic family, and in the name of "going to Zhou's house to have a long talk with Lianzhou and discuss knowledge", she exchanged for the peace tonight.

In order to make the excuse come true, she wanted to go back to Zhou Mansion to stay overnight, but she was not calm.She stopped under the big willow tree, and the willow branches fell on her shoulders.

There is no curfew in Dazhou, the streets are lively at night, and there are many hawkers. He Qiu bought a double portion of snacks and handed one of them enthusiastically: "Sister Ran, please eat."

Song Ran remained motionless.

He Qiu is well-behaved and pure in nature, but this does not mean that she is not vigilant and intelligent as a royal heir.

From the moment she revealed her identity, she knew that Song Ran might be angry.Because of the previous ambiguity, because Song Ran took her as a man.

She couldn't help but rejoice that the wedding banquet between Dean Shen and His Royal Highness the Seventeenth was held today, that they boldly invited Song Ran, and even more rejoice that she revealed herself as a daughter before she went to the banquet.

He Qiu didn't want to deceive himself.

She lowered her voice: "Sister dye?"

I don't know how long after watching it, Song Ran's eyes were red, and the excitement around her seemed to have nothing to do with her. She took the snack, which she told this person two days ago. She said she liked it, and "he" promised to bring her Come out and eat together.

The smell of the food warmed Song Ran's heart, she really treated this soft and handsome young man unusually.If someone else had deceived her, she might have left long ago. How could she be given the chance to beg for mercy?

Leaning against the big willow tree, she was not in a hurry to go back to rest, and deliberately did not bring her maid.If he hadn't met He Qiu during the day, Lianzhou would have brought her back home.

But she met He Qiu.

He Qiu not only told her that she was a woman, but also confessed his love to her.

She endured it for a long time, then lowered her voice and said, "You are a woman, why do you still like me?"

"Aren't those two women also, why are you and I so strange?" He Qiu had a very pleasing face, and his voice was clear and clear like a young man's. With a clear and sweet look, she said a casual sentence, like a sweet cake.

Song Ran is not someone who has never seen the world, she calmed down: "I'm asking you something."

It's not good for people who are gentle by nature to speak. If they are not careful, what they say may become coquettish.

He Qiu blushed at the tips of her ears, tasted the steaming rice cake in her hands, and swallowed the joy in her heart, she said: "I am very... heartbroken. Seeing you, my heart can't help but thump Jump wildly. You are, you are the first girl who is willing to get close to me.

I'm in Yunguo, um...no one dares to have anything to do with me.It was okay when I was young, but when I was a little older, I was involved in the storm of seizing the crown. They were afraid of my eldest brother and avoided me like a tiger.

You are beautiful and give me a warm feeling.Like a sister, but not the same as my sister. "

She took another mouthful of rice cake, but didn't notice the sticky rice on her lips. Song Ran looked at her tremblingly, wanting to wipe it off with a handkerchief. It was not the first time she had done such a thing.But that was before.

She wasn't sure if she liked women or not, and wondered whether she liked the real He Qiu, or the handsome, innocent third prince dressed in men's clothes.

唇角

A little itchy, He Qiu sticks out the tip of his tongue to lick it? To remove the rice grains, Song Ran's eyelashes quivered slightly in shock from her subconscious small movements.

Chewing and swallowing the rice cake slowly, He Qiu whispered, "I want to marry you..."

"You..." Song Ran didn't dare to look at her, she lowered her head and took a small bite of the hot rice cake to suppress her shock.

"I know I'm in an embarrassing situation and I'm not qualified to pursue you. But I have to tell you what I like. I can't hide it from you anymore. I can see that you feel pity for me."

She originally wanted to say "You like me very much", but she was afraid of embarrassing people and ran away, so she continued: "You take pity on me, and I, I respect you too. I respect you as my sister and cherish you as my friend. Except Besides, you stole my heart."

Song Ran was so panicked that she almost choked, her face flushed, and He Qiu had sharp eyes, and hurriedly cheered for her.

A mess...

The young man was talking about love in the street, and passers-by looked away knowingly when they saw it. Besides, the big willow tree had lush branches and leaves, and the people inside were hidden in the darkness when the willow branches hung down.

Slowly, the hustle and bustle of the night dissipated.

Song Ran felt ugly and wanted to leave early, but He Qiu said from behind: "When I get out of the turmoil of seizing the reserve, can I pursue you?"

When she mentioned the "storage seizure storm", Song Ran's heart was suddenly aroused, and she didn't dare to think about how such an immature and well-behaved child like her should face the invisible rain, snow, wind and frost.

At first, she was a man, and she felt pity for her. When she learned that she was a woman, and she was a few years younger than her, Song Ran was in a state of confusion: "You protect yourself first, before we talk about it."

She walked back to the day mansion without stopping, followed by He Qiu who was worried about her.

The door of the day's house is still open for guests who have not returned.

She stood at the door and looked back at the smiling He Qiu, seeming to know what she was thinking, He Qiu said: "The old servant is guarding me in the dark, I can go back safely."

Song Ran's face was slightly hot.

The door invites people to enter, and the woman who has not rested leads her into the wing room.

Confused, she urgently needed someone to talk to. She thought of Lianzhou, looked at the sky, asked casually, and learned that Lianzhou had already rested. She sighed, looked at the distant starry sky, and recalled how she and He Qiu got together. Now.Approaching step by step, soft-hearted again and again.

She cares about her, takes pity on her, sympathizes with her experience, and appreciates her courage.Like He Qiu, she also wants to win the hearts of the one and stay together forever.

Knowing that He Qiu is a woman, I can't help but think about the difficulty of her disguise as a man.

To be angry is actually far less shocking than touching the truth.

After all, she was the one who approached He Qiu from the very beginning.She took her into the rich and famous circle of Xunyang, led her to study in Baihe Academy, and cared about her mood and diet. Song Ran had a very mysterious intimacy with this person.

It was before and it is now.

It's a pity that Lianzhou fell asleep.No one listened to her worries, no one helped her solve her problems, she sighed again.

main courtyard...

Clusters of flowers...

The person who has already fallen asleep in name is now in a stupor intoxicated, the love is intoxicating, and the beauty is distracting.

The white plum hairpin fell three inches to the ground and locked the gentle and broken sound waves, separated by a door, the inside of the door is like spring, and the outside of the door is full of August.
