The bright yellow sedan chair hurriedly moved forward on the stone road of the palace. The eunuchs carrying the sedan chair all lowered their eyebrows and did not dare to look at the people on the sedan chair.
Qin Rushuang closed her eyes and rested her mind.
She actually doesn't like the palace's sedan chair very much. The speed is not as fast as the carriage. No matter how careful the palace people are, there will always be some bumps.
I don't know how long it took, but the slightly bumpy sedan finally stopped. Qin Rushuang opened her eyes. The eunuch took her not to Xie Xun's palace, but to another side hall.
At the door of the side hall, Qingzhi, wearing a water-red robe, was standing aside. Seeing Qin Rushuang coming, she hurriedly walked up.
"Princess, you are here. I will serve you today."
Qin Rushuang frowned, looked at Qingzhi's belly with disapproval, and said, "You have grown older this month, how can you still do things like wait on others? Who came up with this ridiculous idea?"
Qingzhi explained while supporting Qin Rushuang towards the side hall, "I asked the prince to serve the princess. Today is the wedding of the princess and the prince again. I will accompany the princess no matter what.
I don’t trust anyone else to serve me.”
Qin Rushuang naturally knew Qingzhi's affection for her, so she smiled helplessly and said, "It's up to you, but there's one thing. I'll do everything by myself later. Just sit aside and watch, but don't get tired."
Qin Rushuang's careful instructions made Qingzhi couldn't help but blush.
Qin Rushuang panicked and quickly raised her hand to wipe her tears: "Why are you still crying? I don't blame you, I just..."
Qingzhi wiped away her tears, put on another smile, and said, "I'm not sad, I'm happy. You deserve the prince's love. I'm happy for you!"
Qingzhi was so excited and incoherent that Qin Rushuang had no choice but to help her sit down aside and comfort her before looking at the things placed in the side hall.
These things had obviously been prepared a long time ago. On the bed was a set of folded Fengguanxia shawls and a pair of red embroidered shoes.
This whole set of dowry was much more elaborate and grand than when she married Xie Xun.
Just talking about the pearl on the phoenix crown and the head, I am afraid that even if I search all over the palace, I will only be able to find this one.
The embroidery on the wedding dress is a flying phoenix pattern embroidered with gold thread. The stitches are delicate and the fabric is smooth. I don’t know how long Xie Xun has been preparing for it.
Such a wedding dress, even if you hire the best female workers, will probably take a lot of time to make.
Even the shoes worn on the feet are dotted with many gems, and the gold tassels shine on the toes. You can almost imagine the agility that comes with walking when a pair of jade feet step on these shoes.
What a scene it should be.
There were two little maids guarding outside the side hall. When they heard Qingzhi stopped crying, they came in and asked if they wanted to help Qin Rushuang dress.
Qin Rushuang declined and slowly put on the wedding dress prepared by Xie Xun.
After putting it on, Qin Rushuang sat in front of the bronze mirror and looked at herself in the mirror.
A few years have passed, and she is already the mother of a child, but her face in the mirror is still as stunning as when she married into Prince Huai's palace, but a bit of sharpness has been worn away from that stunning face, adding more...
It has a mature flavor.
Qingzhi stood up, looked at Qin Rushuang in the mirror, and exclaimed, "Princess is still so beautiful! I'll do your makeup for you."
Qin Rushuang shook her head and said, "That's it. Just pull up my hair loosely for me and put on the phoenix crown."
Qingzhi didn't argue. In her opinion, her princess looked good no matter how she dressed up.
After carefully arranging Qin Rushuang's hair and stroking her eyebrows, Qingzhi picked up the bright red embroidered hijab.
Qin Rushuang lowered her head slightly, and the red hijab was gently brought to her head by green branches.
The light is blocked by the hijab, and everything that comes into view is red.
Qin Rushuang raised her head and asked: "By the way, since he wants to worship with me again, where will he choose the place? Who will he worship in Gao Tang?"
Qin Rushuang silently thought of General Qin's face in her heart, shook her head, and said to herself that if Xie Xun didn't know what to do and called General Qin, she would fall out.
Qingzhi naturally knew what she was thinking, and said quickly: "The prince cleared a courtyard alone, and worshiped there. After worshiping, he stayed in the prince's palace at night. As for the high hall where he would worship, the prince decided on the concubine and Mrs. Qin.
.”
Qin Rushuang nodded, somewhat satisfied with Xie Xun's approach.
After everything was prepared, Qin Rushuang slowly walked towards the prepared courtyard with the support of Qingzhi.
If Qin Rushuang had not worn a hijab at this time, she would have been shocked by the red color that caught her eyes.
Highly hung red lanterns, red plaques, and red satin filled the entire yard with a festive halo.
Xie Xun, who had been waiting at the door of the side hall for a long time, saw Qingzhi coming with support, and a rare expression of excitement appeared on his face.
He walked quickly to the two of them, took Qin Rushuang's catkins from Qingzhi, and whispered: "Let me handle the rest of the way."
Qingzhi nodded and silently stepped aside.
Qin Rushuang couldn't see Xie Xun through the hijab. She could only see a pair of red boots through the gap where she lowered her head, and her own hand was held by a pair of fiery big hands.
Xie Xun's hands were very hot, big and strong. She didn't know if it was Qin Rushuang's imagination, but she could even feel that Xie Xun's usually calm hands were actually sweating and trembling slightly at this moment.
Xie Xun's voice, which had already calmed down, came to his ears, "Let's go, the queen and mother are inside."
Xie Xun had already arranged this side hall in advance. Apart from the imperial concubine and Mrs. Qin, there was only the eunuch waiting nearby.
The imperial concubine and Mrs. Qin on the high seat were also dressed in festive red. They looked at Xie Xun and Qin Rushuang, with many complicated emotions rising in their eyes.
They all knew that Qin Rushuang married into Prince Huai's Mansion with full love, but was treated so coldly by Xie Xun, and they were probably already disappointed.
The cold and cruel wedding night that Xie Xun brought to Qin Rushuang, as well as his indifferent attitude, have always been a thorn in Qin Rushuang's heart.
As elders, there is only so much they can do. They have been going around and around for so long. They just hope that the two children can truly put aside their past feud and stay together until they grow old.
Downstairs, Xie Xun led Qin Rushuang to the middle of the hall. The eunuch on the side said loudly: "The auspicious time has come, let's worship!"
"Worship heaven and earth!"
"Two thanks to Gaotang!"
"Couple greetings!"
…
Xie Xun arranged this marriage ceremony in a grand yet simple manner.
Although it was not as grand as the first wedding between the two of them, his intentions were revealed in every aspect; however, the arrangement was very simple, just to make Qin Rushuang feel more comfortable, so that this marriage would not involve interests and should be regarded as ordinary.
The couple went to church to get married.
After the visit, the imperial concubine and Mrs. Qin only held the two of them and said a few heartfelt words, then handed Qin Rushuang into Xie Xun's hands again, and then left.
After the imperial concubine and Mrs. Qin left, Qingzhi and the eunuch also quietly left the side hall.
At this moment, only Xie Xun and Qin Rushuang were left.
Xie Xun's hand never left the tightly held Rou Xi, as if he was afraid that if he blinked, the person in front of him would run away.
He asked in a low voice: "Should I order someone to call the sedan chair to drive them out, or..."
Under the hijab, Qin Rushuang's voice sounded a bit muffled: "No, it's only a few steps away, let's walk over together."
Xie Xun nodded heavily, "Let's go together. I will accompany you on this journey, and I will always accompany you on the future journey."
If someone is watching from the sidelines at this moment, they will see that Xie Xun, the usually calm and composed King Huai, is acting like a real young boy getting married, with a mixture of confusion and excitement in his eyes, and a hint of secret excitement.
expect.
How could Qin Rushuang not hear the waves in Xie Xun's tone? It's just that compared to Xie Xun, who was extremely excited, she was not that excited in her heart.
The distance from the side hall to the palace is indeed not far, and we arrived in a short time.
Xie Xun held Qin Rushuang's hand and carefully reminded her of the steps under her feet. When she reached the door of the palace and was about to step into the high threshold, Xie Xun suddenly bent down and hugged Qin Rushuang.
Qin Rushuang let out a small exclamation, and unconsciously tightened her arms around Xie Xun's neck.
Normally, she would never be so rude, but now that her eyes were covered with a hijab, her senses were more sensitive. Xie Xun's sudden move really shocked her.
Xie Xun held Qin Rushuang in his arms, walked steadily into the palace, and placed her on the large dragon bed.
On the table next to the dragon bed, there is a golden wedding scale.
Xie Xun picked up the wedding scale and slowly uncovered Qin Rushuang's head.
At this moment, Xie Xun felt excited and complicated.
There were so many things he wanted to say to Qin Rushuang, but in the end his words turned into excitement in his eyes.
Qin Rushuang's unpainted face was exposed inch by inch, and Xie Xun's heart was filled with endless joy.
However, the next second, the hijab was completely lifted, revealing Qin Rushuang's calm eyes under the hijab.
Xie Xun felt a basin of cold water poured down his head, making all his previous joy disappear.
The hand holding the scale froze in mid-air, and finally hung down weakly.
"Are you not happy……"
After asking, Xie Xun regretted asking this question again.
He should have known the answer a long time ago, right?
He had let her down before, so how could she change her mind because of his few words of argument or this belated marriage?
What made Xie Xun even more sad was that he had seen love and hatred in Qin Rushuang's eyes before, but now, there was neither love nor hatred in her eyes.
Xie Xun smiled bitterly in her heart. Does she even have the strength to hate me?
Qin Rushuang couldn't wait for Xie Xun's move for a long time, raised her head and looked at the man standing silently, "Your Majesty, is it time for a drink next?"
Xie Xun tried hard to adjust to the loss in his heart. He warned himself that it was okay, this was a good start, and there would be a long time to make up for it in the future.
"Yes, it's time to have a drink. This is what Master found specially for me. I must try it."
Qin Rushuang obediently lifted the wine glass that Xie Xun filled for her, and drank the wine with Xie Xun without any grudge.
The moment their arms intertwined, Xie Xun could still smell the faint fragrance of Qin Rushuang from her body.
After drinking a glass of wine, Qin Rushuang did not summon the servants, but took off the phoenix crown on her head.
"Your Majesty, please rest."
After saying this, Qin Rushuang extinguished the candles in the palace, leaving only the pair of big red wedding candles on the bedside.
She knows what this sentence means.
She and Xie Xun only had that ridiculous night, and there was no intimacy after that.
And today is the day when she and Xie Xun get married again.
What will happen between the two of them is already self-evident.
