[Comprehensive martial arts] The bright moon shines on you

The wedding date of the eldest princess of Kucha Kingdom and Chu Liuxiang was set in half a month.

The wedding customs in Kucha are not as complicated as in the Central Plains. There are no such things as three books and six rituals, and weddings.The king of Qiuci fled with a large family, and the rebels occupied the royal city. His confidant's serious troubles had not been resolved, so naturally he didn't have much thought to worry about the wedding of a daughter who was not very favored in the first place.On the contrary, Princess Qiuci was very concerned about this by accident. She passed a decree saying that since the princess's husband is from the Central Plains, the princess has always admired the Central Plains culture. .

The day before the wedding.

The bright red wedding dress was spread on the bed in the tent, and the long sleeves spread out to both sides like butterfly wings.Glittering golden silk threads spread across the skirt, outlining a vivid phoenix about to fly, and the red gemstones in the eyes of the phoenix were as bright red as blood.Slender and fair fingers slowly brushed over the dark patterns outlined with silver thread on the wedding dress. Ming Yueye sat by the bed and looked at this wedding dress, which was obviously made by a skilled craftsman. , the slender and thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and the eyes were slightly complicated.

It was the first time that Triumph III put on the wedding dress, and it turned out to be such a scene.

The light-colored lips hooked slightly, Ming Yueye suddenly wanted to laugh, and he didn't know whether it was mostly helplessness or more dazed.Shaking her head, she picked up the embroidery needles placed on the tray beside her and symbolically embroidered the last few stitches on the wedding dress.The wings at the phoenix's tail gradually took shape. The girl in white looked at it quietly, twisted off the thread, put the needle and thread back on the plate, and waved her hand.

"Take it down."

"Yes."

The maid who stood by with the tray bowed and slowly exited the tent with the things in her hand.

After the maid had completely left the door, the Princess of Kucha finally came forward, looking at the gorgeous wedding dress on the bed with twinkling eyes.

"Are all the girls in the Central Plains wearing such beautiful clothes when they get married?"

"more or less."

Mingyue Ye lowered her eyes and stared at the exquisite and gorgeous wedding dress on the bed, and suddenly flashed in her mind the pair of clear and sharp eyes that she saw in the moonlight that day, like a deep pool under the moon.After a long time, the corners of the lips of the girl in white who was sitting by the bed twitched slightly, and a shallow smile floated on her lips.

Day two.

The custom in the country of Kucha originally was that female guests should not show up at the wedding, but since the princess told them to follow the etiquette of the Central Plains, and the king of Kucha has always favored the princess, there was nothing wrong with it.

On the day of the wedding, the house was full of guests and friends, and the candle shadows were red.

King Kucha's already gorgeous tent was decorated even more gorgeously this day.The king was wearing a bright red robe and was at the head. His tendril-bearded face was flushed with a smile, and he was obviously in a very happy mood.At his side, the princess, who is always dressed in elegant clothes, rarely changed into a colorful dress on this day. She had a gentle expression on her face and an unspeakable charm all over her body, which made people involuntarily turn their eyes on him. on her.

Princess Pipa was also present on this day. She was wearing a gorgeous long dress, her black hair was cloudy, and the ruby ​​on the hairpin swayed gently on her temples, shining brightly.

Those attending the wedding looked at Princess Pipa, who was as dazzling as a pearl, and Princess Kucha, who was so weak and charming in all kinds of clothes.The wife and daughter are both so beautiful. I don't know how beautiful they are going to be married today, and the person who will be married is the eldest daughter of the famous Chu Liuxiang.

Princess Pipa, who was secretly scrutinized and discussed, had a somewhat casual expression at this time. She stood beside King Kucha and answered his questions, but her eyes glanced at the tent door from time to time.

Not long after, when her gaze swept across the door again, she paused for a moment, and then stopped in vain on the person who walked in.The man who opened the heavy curtain and walked in was wearing a bright red wedding dress. His appearance was clear and handsome, his temperament was both calm and unrestrained, like the breeze and the moon, and he had a strange charm that made people feel at ease.There was a faint smile on his lips, and people kept saying hello to him along the way.Her father, who was invited by the king with a lot of money, usually looks like a knight-errant who looks above the top. Seeing him walking in, they all hurriedly stood up from their seats, with apologetic smiles on their faces, and rushed forward to say a word. Congratulations.

Princess Pipa bit her lip and was about to walk over when she heard the princess calling her suddenly.

"lute."

Princess Pipa's footsteps stopped, and the princess's gentle and affectionate eyes looked straight at her, with a shallow smile in her eyes, still showing a gentle and loving look, but her body froze, her whole body trembled, and she stood up. Can't take another step in place.

In the tent, Ji Bingyan and Hu Tiehua stood among the crowd of guests watching the ceremony, feeling a little emotional.

"I didn't expect the old bedbug to really get married. I still feel like a dream."

Although Ji Bingyan's face was still cold and indifferent, when he saw the person walking in in a bright red wedding dress, he could vaguely see the warmth flowing in his eyes, "I thought he would linger in the flowers all his life, and someday you will get married He is still alone. I never thought I would actually see him in wedding clothes on this day."

Hu Tiehua nodded in agreement at first, but found something wrong halfway through, "What do you mean I'm 'already' married? If it wasn't for the old bug who cut off his beard suddenly this time, I would be the one who is married now."

Ji Bingyan gave him a cold look, "Do you want to get married?"

"What's wrong with a man wanting to start a family?"

"Gao Yanan is still looking for you everywhere in the rivers and lakes. If you want to get married, go back to the Central Plains now, and you can get married right away."

When mentioning Gao Yanan, Hu Tiehua trembled all over, turned his head silently and muttered in a low voice, "Forget it then."

The auspicious time had come, and the curtain in front of the tent was lifted again, a slender figure in a gorgeous red wedding dress, whose face was covered by a red hijab made of thin sand, was surrounded by two people from one left and one right. The maid helped her in.

The two maids supporting the bride had festive smiles on their faces, and they were wearing gorgeous clothes.One of the maids had a round face and a lively personality. When helping the bride to Chu Liuxiang who was the groom's official, she bowed and saluted.

Mingyue Ye lowered her eyes slightly, and the phoenix crown on her head was a bit heavy.As she walked, the long tassels hanging from the phoenix tail swayed gently on the side of her face, passing a bit of icy cold touch.Her sight was covered by the veil, and all she could see was the bright red color reflected by the lights. The only thing she could see was the carpet with intricate patterns under her feet.The surrounding environment was very noisy, the unfamiliar Kucha language mixed with the Central Plains dialect with a strange accent, and the sound of toasting was mixed with the music from the wedding ceremony, making it a lively scene.But for her, under the condition of being unable to see things, such an environment seemed extremely strange and made people feel flustered.

Ming Yueye tightened slightly the hand of the maid on the right, and then the two maids who were supporting her stopped, as if they stopped in front of someone.Are you in position?Ming Yueye's slender eyelashes blinked, and then suddenly, she heard the round-faced girl who had been delivering meals to her all this time said to someone with a smile, "Master, please treat our girl well in the future." ah."

The magnetic and clear male voice smiled in a low voice, and said softly, "That's natural."

Ming Yueye's movements paused for a moment, and then she felt someone approaching her, with a deep and clear voice with a touch of magnetism.

"Moon?"

The surrounding environment was noisy and noisy, and that clear and pleasant voice was as soft as a sigh, but it seemed to stand out from the world of mortals strangely, and flowed past her ears, so clear that it seemed that she could hear the faint doubts and tenderness contained in it.

The slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and Mingyue Ye hung her right hand slightly inward, and after a pause of two seconds, she slowly raised her hand.

Then, she felt her fingers being held in a dry and warm palm.The shallow warmth spread from the fingertips to the bottom of her heart, making her feel at ease.

In front of the wedding hall, Princess Pipa watched Chu Liuxiang walk to the bride, and gently held her raised hand into her palm with a smile.Under the shadow of red candles, his clear and handsome profile was unbelievably good-looking.Her heart felt sour, and she reflexively moved her gaze away, unwilling to look at it.After a while, I couldn't help but look back again.

Amidst the uproar and congratulations from all the guests in the room, Chu Liuxiang led the bride to the front of the hall.The light was soft and the candles were flickering. Not only did the bright red wedding dress on his body not appear inappropriate at all, but it made the already outstanding person even more handsome and unrestrained.The bride next to him was dressed in a gorgeous wedding dress, standing quietly beside him, she was clearly in a noisy banquet, but she had a quiet temperament, even if people couldn't see her face, they would feel at ease He decided that this must be an ethereal and beautiful lady.

Princess Pipa looked at the couple in front of her who were as well-matched as a pair of lovers, and her heart was even more sour.Her eyes fell on the slender hand held by Chu Liuxiang, thinking in a daze, is it because the wedding dress on her is too good-looking?Was her sister so beautiful before?

In the high hall, King Qiuci looked at the couple of newcomers below, his face was all red, and his face was already full of smiles.After he was driven out of the royal city by the rebels, assassins from the Central Plains kept coming to assassinate him, making him the majestic lord of a country huddled in this small oasis. When I woke up, the head on my neck was no longer in its original position.He had already inquired clearly from the masters he had hired from the Central Plains that Chu Liuxiang, who married his daughter, was ten times more famous and capable than all the masters he hired together.With his help, there is no doubt about his safety, and the throne and subjects he lost can be regained slowly.

The more King Qiuci thought about it, the more he felt that this daughter was worth marrying, and the smile on his face became brighter.He raised his hand, urging the master of ceremonies to hurry up to the next step, and for a moment ignored the small anomaly of the sudden change in the aura of the princess beside him.

The guest master of ceremonies was an old man from the royal family of Kucha. He was a brother close to the king of Kucha, so he was brought out by the king of Kucha when the rebels occupied the royal city.At this time, seeing King Qiuci's actions, he quickly followed the Central Plains etiquette he had been taught before, and shouted, "Bow to heaven and earth!"

Chu Liuxiang, who was dressed in a bright red wedding dress, led the bride and bowed slowly towards the world outside the door.In the guest table, seeing this scene, Hu Tiehua once again felt a lot of emotion.

He poked Ji Bingyan's arm beside him, shook his head and sighed, "I still feel like I'm dreaming."

Seeing her good brother getting married, Ji Bingyan had a rare smile on his usually cold face. Hearing Hu Tiehua's words at this time, the smile on his face disappeared and he glanced at him.

"There's a tree outside the tent."

Hu Tiehua was taken aback for a moment, and gave him a blank look, "What do you mean?"

"If you feel like you're still dreaming, go out and bump into that tree yourself to see if it hurts." Having said that, he added, "It's not appropriate to see blood on Chu Liuxiang's wedding today, be careful, don't hit to death gone."

Hu Tiehua immediately became angry, and stared at him with wide eyes, "Well, you dead cock, I have a good talk with you, and you are mocking me again?"

Ji Bingyan said "haha" twice, unwilling to pay attention to him.

Seeing Ji Bingyan turned his head directly, Hu Tiehua, who felt a little bored, once again set his sights on the two newcomers who were paying homage.At this time, the master of ceremonies was already shouting, "Secondly put on the high hall".

The person standing in the hall led the bride next to him to bow down again, with a faint smile on his lips.

Hu Tiehua rubbed her head, and muttered to herself, "I thought his marriage was just a stopgap measure, but I didn't expect to see the old bug like this, he seems to be very willing."

Ji Bingyan floated beside him without looking sideways, "When have you ever seen someone who can force Chu Liuxiang to do something he doesn't want to do?"

Hu Tiehua thought about it seriously, then nodded, "You are right. But when you say it like this, I am even more curious about his new wife."

A few steps away, the master of ceremonies shouted "husband and wife worship each other" in the Central Plains dialect that he is not very proficient in.The right hand was gently released, and the person who had been standing beside her before changed direction and stood opposite her.There was loud music in my ears, and people kept shouting congratulations in Kucha language and Central Plains dialect. Mingyue Ye straightened her back, and when she bowed slowly, the gorgeous patterns on the carpet under her feet came into view.The familiar pattern of grapes and twigs, echoing the sound of ritual and music in the ear, makes people suddenly have an illusion, as if this wedding, which was facilitated by various forces, is really a pair of soulmates. The lovers are getting married with the blessings of their relatives and friends. Since then, the years have been silent and they have been together for a lifetime.

"Moon?"

The right hand was held again, and the people who walked to her seemed to have noticed her distraction just now, and there was a trace of concern in the clear and pleasant voice.Ming Yueye shook his head very lightly, then hesitated for a moment, and gently squeezed his dry and warm palm with his fingers.

I don't know whose teasing laughter sounded a few steps away, "It's time to send the bride to the bridal chamber. Chu Xiangshuai, you can't bear it? Don't worry, don't worry, people are always yours."

Immediately there was booing and laughter, and the man beside him seemed to laugh a little bit, and lightly clasped the fingers of the hand holding her in her palm.

"wait for me."

The voice was still magnetic and clear, and Ming Yueye's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his right hand had already been let go.The two maids who helped her in before surrounded her again and led her out of the tent.

Watching the slender figure being helped out by the maid, Chu Liuxiang turned her head to look at Wu Qingtian, who came up with a large jar of wine, and said with a smile, "Brother Wu brought so much wine, is he trying to get me drunk?"

Before Wu Qingtian could speak, the King of Qiuci laughed loudly on the chair, "Our wedding custom in the country of Qiuci is that the bride enters the bridal chamber, but the groom has to stay outside and wait for the guests to drink. The more wine is drunk, This wedding is more beautiful. Other wedding customs have followed your Central Plains etiquette, but this one must never be changed."

After hearing this, Hu Tiehua laughed loudly and said, "There is really no need to change this, your wedding custom is probably in line with the wishes of the old bug."

Chu Liuxiang smiled helplessly and shook his head, took the wine Wu Qingtian handed over with a smile, and drank it down in one gulp.There was applause all around.

After the worship, the princess went back, and the other female guests also left.In the large tent, only a group of men were laughing and pouring alcohol on each other.

When Chu Liuxiang came out of that tent, he couldn't remember how much he drank. He just felt that he had never drank so much wine at once in his life like this time.

Walking all the way to the door of the tent for the bridal chamber, the man stretched out his thumb and rubbed his forehead, his eyes, which were a little foggy from the smell of alcohol, flashed a gleam of clarity, he lowered his head and smiled softly, "Fortunately, he wasn't carried in."

In the quiet tent, everyone else had retreated, only the bride in red was left sitting quietly under the tasseled brocade tent with a red hijab on her head.The bed behind her was not covered with peanuts and red dates like the custom in the Central Plains, but was covered with a soft silk brocade quilt, which made one almost want to lie on it just by looking at it.

When Chu Liuxiang entered the tent, he saw such a scene. With a slight smile on his lips, he walked towards the person sitting on the bed.However, when he was a few steps away from her, he stopped suddenly.After quietly staring at the person on the bed for a few seconds, Chu Liuxiang suddenly turned around, walked to the wooden table in front of the bed, sat down, and poured herself a cup of tea.

The person sitting by the bed waited for a long time, but there was still no sound in the room.The groom who got married tonight just put her aside like this, and he sat quietly at a table a few steps away, drinking a pot of cold tea.

She waited for a while, and finally spoke, with a graceful voice, "Why don't you come over?"

Chu Liuxiang sat at the round table, resting her forehead with one hand, a few strands of black hair hanging down her face, half-closed her eyes and said lazily, "Please wait a moment, wait for me to sober up."

The person beside the bed suddenly laughed, "What about after you sober up?"

The man sitting at the table held the tea cup to his lips, and took a sip of the cold tea in the tea cup.A touch of bitterness spread in his mouth, his dark eyes slowly opened, and there was no trace of drunkenness in his eyes.

"After I sober up, please tell me, girl, who are you? Where did Miss Mingyue go to visit me just now?"
