After being robbed by the prince of the enemy country

After the fireworks dissipated, the lively palace gradually returned to silence. The gates of the palace rode together, and the guests living outside the palace went out of the palace and returned home amidst laughter.

The happy candles in Qiwu Palace are brightly lit, with the fragrance of red pepper and honey.

On the table were two glazed marigolds filled with Xifeng wine. The wine was clear and transparent, and the lower ends of the wine cups were tied with a red thread.

"The emperor and empress are invited to have a drink together." The ceremonial official congratulated loudly, "From now on, the husband and wife are one and will never be separated."

"Good!!!" Huaixuan cheered loudly, attracting everyone in the room to echo and applaud.

The atmosphere was so perfect that Chu Shao was a bit stuck. Not only did he not want to visit the hall, he didn't even bother to drink a glass of wine, but now he was cast with congratulatory looks by a room full of friends and relatives. It was hard to refute Huai Jiugu's face for a while.

Huai Zhen couldn't wait to pick up the glazed golden cup, and looked at Chu Shao expectantly, his eyes were as bright as candles.

Chu Yun was standing next to him, with no joy or sorrow on his face, but if his younger brother showed any reluctance at this moment, Chu Yun would definitely ruin this harmonious situation on the spot and take Chu Shao away to regret the marriage.

It's easy to regret a marriage, but it's hard to end it. After all, it's just going back to the dead end like Beiyou.

Chu Shao could only force out a smile, picked up the wine cup, Huai Jiugu was overwhelmed by the flattery, and hurriedly wrapped his arms around him, the two of them raised their heads together, and drank the whole cup of wine.

Chu Yun sighed lightly, after all, he had resigned himself to the fate of the entire Chu family.

"The auspicious time for the bridal chamber has come!" Huai Xuan was more conscientious than the official of ceremonies, and shouted with great enthusiasm, "A spring night is worth a thousand! Gold!"

The word "thousand gold" was bitten very hard, obviously implying something.

Huai Jiu Gu Huiyi raised his hand and grabbed a handful of pure gold peanuts and threw them over, using this "a thousand gold" to please these close friends and relatives who might make trouble in the bridal chamber at any time.

Huai Zhen threw a lot into Chu Yun's bosom on purpose, even if Chu Yun didn't want to take it, two gold pieces ended up in his palm. According to customary etiquette, it's not easy to have a bridal chamber after taking the gold.

The golden rain poured down one after another, and finally only the emperor and Chu Shao were left in the bedroom.

The wick of Xizhu popped two or three times, which made people itch.

Huai Jiugu poured himself two more glasses of wine, and finally dared to touch Chu Shao's hand, "I...haven't hugged Xiao Shao for a long time."

The "hug" in his mouth is naturally not a simple hug.

Although it was a wedding night in the bridal chamber, Chu Shao didn't want everything to go according to Huaizhen's wishes.

He deliberately asked, "When was the first time you hugged me?"

Huai Zhen was stunned for a moment, and his eyes, which were hazy from the alcohol, suddenly became clear. He tried to use the alcohol to cover up his mistakes in the past, but Chu Shao was sober.

"On the boat in Qizhou, you said you were going to throw me into the lake to fend for yourself, and then, you took off my clothes and raped me."

Huaizhen's ears were hot, and his throat was choked. He lowered his head, lowered his eyes, and stared closely at the wine in the cup.

"I can't remember how much it hurt at that time. After I got off the boat, I couldn't walk. I want you to help me. What are you talking about?" Chu Shao frowned deliberately, and then suddenly said, "You let me Please, tell me, my begging for mercy sounds the most beautiful, no matter how many times I hear it, it’s not enough.”

Chu Qingxu flipped through the bloody old accounts calmly, "You insist on beating me in a certain matter, but you can't do it on the battlefield, just on the bed, after all, the love Gu has something to do with the word love. In the past year, you How many times did you 'hug' me when I was unconscious, Jiu Gu, do you still remember?"

Huai Zhen buried his head even lower, the tip of his nose was almost touching the surface of the wine.

Chu Shao opened his sleeves, revealing two piercing scars on his wrists, and recalled: "I still remember three years ago, on such a big wedding night, Wei Yong got drunk and wanted to do something like a beast, I picked up the dagger hidden under the pillow and pierced his left chest with a knife. At that time, I was still thinking about what the people would do if he died like this, because he was the monarch of Nanqi, so I didn't stab his heart and resisted. As a result, the wrist bone was pierced, and the hands are useless."

"...Qing Xu..." Huai Zhen raised his head, drowning in remorse, unable to extricate himself, he hoarsely stopped Chu Shao from exposing this years-old scar.

Chu Shao held the corner of his mouth, showing a shy smile, and patted the back of Huaizhen's hand, seeming to praise or sarcasm:

"You are kinder than him after all. You know how to use drugs to confuse your mind. In the past year, I was really confused. I took your joy and anger as the sky, and your sorrow and joy as the ground. I was robbed of my innocence, and I was confused and even complacent. Worrying about gains and losses day and night, I look forward to you coming to pamper me, but now that I think about it, I would rather you be as clear as Wei Yong, at least I can still fight for my dignity soberly."

Chu Shao got up, raised his hand to pull out the jade hairpin, his long hair let out like a waterfall, he took off his outer shirt, and said calmly: "If you want to touch me tonight, how can I resist? But every time you touch me, I can't help but think of all the humiliation on the boat that day, and that Wei Yong did the same thing with you three years ago. If you want me to hate you even more, just come and hug me. You are the emperor, you sit down. Owning the world, how dare I resist you?"

Huai Zhen seemed to be struck by lightning, he got up from the chair, and even sat down in front of Chu Shao without a face.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Shao...I'm sorry." He lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes trembling, not daring to look at Chu Shao again, he left the bedroom as if fleeing, obediently covering the palace door for him.

The wind blew up at night, and at some point it was snowing lightly, and the wind and snow poured into the sleeves of Huaizhen's Chinese clothes. The biting cold tortured his flesh, Chu Shao's words tortured his heart, and he stood slumped. In the wind and snow, the Zhenghong Xisi silk that lives in Wu Palace is flying freely like wax snow and red plums, but his eyes are full of desolation and paleness.

"Your Majesty, who is this?" Wen Yan glanced at the brightly lit inner hall, then at Huai Zhen, who was already covered with falling snow, and asked doubtfully, "Shouldn't tonight be the wedding night in the bridal chamber? Why did you come out?" gone?"

With a pale face, Huai Zhen waved his hands, and sat down on the white jade steps outside the bedroom of Qiwu Palace.

There was a small pile of snow on the stone steps, he didn't pay attention to it, sat down on his buttocks, and felt a chill in his heart, the alcohol completely dissipated in the cold, he leaned his back on the door of the temple, lost his mind.

Xiangxiu guessed that Your Majesty might have been kicked out by the Empress again and again—unexpectedly, even on the wedding night, the Empress would not give Her Majesty any face!

She hurriedly opened her umbrella, stepped into the shallow snow on the ground, walked up to Huaizhen and blessed her body, "Your Majesty, why don't you move to the Heyang Palace while the snow is light?"

Huai Zhen shook his head, "I'm not going anywhere tonight."

If he leaves Qiwu Palace on the night of his wedding, gossip will spread throughout the Qin Palace tomorrow that the Queen was brutal and rude and kicked the Emperor out of the palace, and Chu Shao will be caught in unnecessary turmoil.

So even if Huaizhen was kicked out of the dormitory by him, he would not leave Qiwu Palace even if he was hit by the wind and snow.

The snow tends to fall heavily, and Eunuch Wen Yan said anxiously: "The wind and snow are biting at night, Jun Shangwan can't stay in the wind for long!"

Xiangxiu was also in a hurry, she raised her eyes to look inside the hall, but she didn't dare to discuss the grievances between the emperor and empress, so she took a step back and said, "If not, will your majesty go to the side hall for a night?"

Huai Zhen waved his hand, as if punishing himself, "I'm just sitting here, so sober."

Only in the snowstorm can he wake up, and only when he is awake can he know how to reflect on the mistakes and absurdities of the past.

Inside the bedroom.

Chu Shao quietly pushed open the window, and saw Huai Jiugu sitting on the stone steps, his shoulders slumped, his hair gradually whitened by the snow.

He watched from the sidelines for a while, seeing that Huaizhen would not leave the palace nor go to the side hall, he thought to himself that it was impossible for him to sit outside for a whole night, as soon as it snowed heavily, he would leave.

Chu Shao closed the window with peace of mind, took off his heavy clothes, pushed aside the peanuts, red dates and longan spread on the bed, then climbed into the bed by himself, and rolled several times on the bed.

The bed is made as soft and springy as steamed buns just out of the pan. The brocade quilt is covered with brocade. Soft, like jade, warms up in a moment, and there is no need for extra people to warm the bed.

Such a big, soft and warm bed!Naturally, it is most comfortable to sleep alone!

Chirp: I want to warm the bed!
