The bright red sunset hid below the horizon, and the moon gracefully climbed up the willow branches. On the festive day, the palace of the prosperous country was dotted with stars and prosperous like a dream.
The elegant room is all red. A pair of exquisite red candles are burning high on the table. The beaded curtains made of colored glass reflect the halo of light and are filled with mist. On the edge of the bed made of rosewood, a man is sitting.
A bride, Bai Rulian's hands were hanging down, and her face was covered by a red hijab. I don't know how the bride looked under the hijab. She must be beaming with joy at the wedding.
Surrounded by everyone, the groom, dressed in wedding clothes, staggered from the door and almost fell when he passed the threshold. Fortunately, he was supported by everyone.
On the wedding night, there was supposed to be a bridal chamber party, but considering that the second prince was special and there were two other princes getting married, no one stayed much longer.
After everyone dispersed, the room returned to silence, and the nuns carefully began to salute.
"Please ask the groom to pick up the wedding dress, and everything will be as you wish from now on."
The groom walked toward the bride in a confused manner, and his hand holding the wedding scale was very unsteady. With the help of the nuns, he finally managed to lift the wedding handkerchief away.
A calm face was exposed to the air like this, with a gentle smile. The slightly closed eyes opened gently, and the bright eyes met the groom's equally beautiful eyes. There was no panic, no sadness, no stunned look.
It's so peaceful, gentle and gentle.
On the other hand, the palace maids present were even more surprised. Before they even came to worship this afternoon, the woman's face was exposed to the public. What an annoying thing!
But unexpectedly, the woman in front of me didn't feel angry at all.
However, the palace maids were well-trained after all. Although they were surprised, they did not show any signs of it.
"Groom, please have a drink with the bride."
Grandma's voice continued to sound, but before she finished speaking, Cheng Song picked up the cup and started drinking by himself, giggling from time to time:
"It's delicious, it's delicious." He looked drunk.
"Second Prince, no, no, I have to hand over a drink." Grandma Wang, who was the master of ceremonies, quickly stopped her, for fear that the bride would be frightened.
Mengxue couldn't help but find it funny to see the nuns and palace maids present in a hurry.
"Pfft~~~~~~It's so spicy, cough cough cough..."
Cheng Song covered his mouth and coughed, causing his whole face to turn red. He looked in great pain, but the wine sprayed onto Mengxue's face without any hesitation.
For a moment, that exquisite face was covered with the wine sprayed by Cheng Song, making him look very embarrassed.
The maids present were so frightened that they stayed there and didn't know how to react. They estimated that the bride would cry and make a fuss this time. Even ordinary girls would not be able to deal with such a thing when a newlywed gets married.
You can't bear it, let alone the Prime Minister's daughter.
"Ah~~~Why did the wine get on the bride's sister's face?"
Cheng Song pointed at Mengxue stupidly, and as he spoke, he went to lick Mengxue's face innocently, licking it while not forgetting to laugh again and again:
"Hey! The bride's sister's face tastes really good!"
Mengxue, who was sitting beside her, couldn't help but have black lines on her face, praying silently in her heart - this brother, please don't treat her like a pastry and take a bite of her.
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a hint of pain on his face.
"Second Prince, you can't do it, you can't do it!" Seeing that something was wrong, the leading nanny on the side quickly stepped forward and pulled Cheng Song away. She was respectful and anxious, "Second Prince, the bride is not something you can eat.
"
"Mommy, what did you say? The bride is not a thing?" Cheng Song looked at Mengxue and asked seriously.
If it weren't for his innocent and harmless look, Mengxue would definitely suspect that he did it on purpose! Deliberately taking the words out of context!
However, she didn't react much. She just sat quietly and watched what happened. For some reason, she always felt that this second prince was weird.
Nanny Wang was obviously not as calm as Mengxue. She was so frightened by Cheng Song that she trembled, her feet went weak and she knelt down, shouting:
"Master makes atonement, slave has made a mistake!"
The leader, Aunt Wang, was feeling miserable. Aunt Zhang was lucky. Giving gifts to the Third Prince and Baili Hexiang must have been simple, easy, and extremely smooth, and she would have received a lot of rewards. Aunt Li was lucky.
Not bad, it will definitely not be troublesome to give gifts to the fourth prince and Sikong Ziwei!
And what about herself? Giving a gift to a fool was not peaceful from the beginning. Now that the stupid second prince is talking nonsense again, she really doesn't know what to do.
Although Baili Shuang was just a concubine, she was still the Prime Minister's daughter. She was just a servant and could not afford to offend her.
The maids on the side also broke into cold sweat when they saw it. They all stared at Mengxue secretly, with different expressions. Some were gloating, some were watching the show, some were curious...
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and even the noisy second prince became extremely quiet. Although his expression was dull and honest, Mengxue always felt that there was a hint of elegance in his seemingly out-of-focus eyes.
But looking closely, I found that Cheng Song's eyes were clearly dull. I wonder if he was overthinking.
But no matter what, it was better for her to be careful.
After all, this palace has always been very complicated.
Having made up her mind, Mengxue lowered her head in silence, looking blankly at Grandma Wang kneeling on the ground without saying a word. Anyway, more words will make you wrong, less words will make you more wrong, and no words will be better!
Silence spread in the air, and the surrounding area suddenly became extremely oppressive. The maids were all stiff, and no one knew how this situation would end.
"Second Prince, have you forgotten what you promised the Queen Mother?"
At this moment, a gentle female voice broke the silence. Mengxue followed the sound and found out that it was the palace maid named Xiangxue during the day. At this time, she looked at Cheng Song with a smile.
"I...did I promise anything to the Imperial Grandmother?" Cheng Song, who had been in a daze, seemed to be a little unable to react. He looked at Xiangxue blankly and stammered in reply.
Xiangxue seemed to be amused by Cheng Song, she laughed softly and said:
"My dear prince, have you forgotten your promise to the Queen Mother to be obedient and complete the wedding according to Grandma Wang's instructions?"
"Oh! That's right!" Cheng Song heard this and clapped his hands, with a look of joy on his face, as if he had remembered something great. But in an instant, his handsome face turned down again, lowered his head, and rubbed it repeatedly.
Holding her palms, she looked like she had done something wrong, "Sister Xiangxue, I didn't listen to grandma's instructions? Am I being unbehaved? Will Grandma Huang be angry?"
That look was so innocent. When Xiangxue saw it, she quickly said:
"No, no! It's enough for the second prince to behave well now. The Queen Mother will definitely praise the second prince for his good behavior."
"Really?" Cheng Song took a step forward, his dark eyes sparkling, his expression as simple as that of a three-year-old child.
"Yes, it's true. However, the second prince must be obedient next time." Xiangxue guided him in time. It seemed that she had basically grasped the second prince's temperament and could handle it very comfortably.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Upon hearing this, Cheng Song nodded quickly.
Xiangxue smiled lightly, turned to Grandma Wang who was kneeling on the ground and said:
"Mother Wang, get up. It's important to give the ceremony."
"Thank you, the second prince, and thank you, Miss Xiangxue!"
When Grandma Wang heard that everything was okay, she quickly kowtowed and saluted excitedly. Perhaps she was too excited, or perhaps she believed that the bride was just a weak woman who could not talk much. She did not even mention Mengxue when she thanked her, as if she had forgotten that there was something else.
