After Bai Qiqian drank a bowl of ginseng soup, she took an early rest.
For some reason, the severe pain in her head, although not as severe as before, still made her uneasy.
In her sleep, warm fingers gently traced her smooth forehead, delicate eyebrows, delicate nose, small mouth... Finally, they rested on her lips, followed by a deep sigh.
The gentle movements reminded Bai Qiqian of the long-lost warmth. It seemed that a long time ago, someone had traced her face with his fingers over and over again.
The warmth at her fingertips made her greedy, and the wrinkles between her brows slowly relaxed.
Bai Qiqian called his name softly: "Yuan...Yuan..."
Nangong Chuci frowned, he heard the name in her mouth again.
Recalling that day, when she was ill, she kept calling that person's name. At that time, Nangong Chuci once thought that if there could be someone in this world who loved her so much and had deep affection for her, then his life would not be in vain.
.
Now, his heart has been wandering for many years and is finally willing to stay for her.
However, she, Bai Qiqian, was dismissive.
Yes, you are dismissive and look down on his sincerity. Haha, Nangong Chuci, the young master Nangong in the eyes of everyone, in the final analysis, is just a pathetic person.
There are many things that you can't make your own decisions about, and there are many things that you can't do anything about.
Even loving someone is a luxury for him.
Nangong Chuci turned around and stepped out of the room. His deep voice came from outside the door: "It's late at night and you have to be careful. Don't let Miss Bai catch the cold."
The maid responded softly: "Young master, please relax, I will take good care of the young lady."
The footsteps gradually faded away, and Bai Qiqian slowly opened her eyes and murmured in a low voice: "I only live for one person in my life."
Her heart had already been given to Ye Liyuan, and the people around her could not get her heart even if they imprisoned her. She could only remember their kindness to her and their love for her.
Early the next morning, Bai Qiqian was awakened by the maid and began to dress up.
The red dress is coquettish and beautiful, and the robe on her body exaggerates her nobility. The dressing maid behind her couldn't help but praise her: "Miss, you are the most beautiful person I have ever seen."
Bai Qiqian smiled, she was the most beautiful woman, and she deserved it.
She stared at the face in the diamond-shaped bronze mirror, stretched out her hand, touched her cheek, and forced a smile on her lips.
Xi Po's urging voice came from outside the door: "Miss, the person to pick up the bride has arrived, come out quickly."
The maid who was accompanying the bride put the red hijab on her phoenix crown, then helped Bai Qiqian step out of the room and walked out.
Taking small steps, Bai Qiqian felt no joy in her heart.
Until the moment before she entered the sedan chair, Nangong Chuci suddenly stepped forward and held her hand tightly.
Bai Qiqian whispered: "Nangong Chuci, it's time for you to let go."
Nangong Chuci still held Bai Qiqian's hand tightly, pursed her lips and remained silent. The chamberlain who came to pick up the bride urged: "Mr. Nangong, please let go. Our family knows that you and Miss Nangong are deeply affectionate, but
If you continue like this, if you delay the auspicious time, the Holy Spirit will blame you, and it will be difficult for our family to explain."
Mrs. Nangong was afraid that something unexpected would happen again at this time, so she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Chu Ci, mother knows that you can't bear to leave Si Li, but today is a good day for her to get married. We should be happy, right?"
Nangong Chuci still ignored him and stared at Bai Qiqian tightly with his eyes.
The face hidden by the red hijab was beautiful and quiet, but there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
From beginning to end, she didn't say a word.
The old lady came over with a solemn face and a cold tone: "Chu Ci, let go!"
Nangong Chuci turned his head, glanced at the old lady, and slowly loosened Bai Qiqian's hand. He whispered: "When you arrive in the palace, you must be careful in everything. You must remember, no matter what happens,
No matter what happens, Nangong Mansion is your home."
Bai Qiqian nodded: "I know, Chu Ci, please take care of yourself."
Nangong Chuci's words of "treasure" finally dissipated in the wind.
Watching her sit on the red sedan chair and gradually disappear from his sight. Nangong Chuci had a flash of crystal light in his eyes. He turned around and put on his face the smile that belonged to him, Nangong Chuci.
Deal with all guests calmly.
Love, this kind of thing, will never belong to him, Nangong Chuci.
He suddenly remembered what the old lady once said to him. In this life, he could not fall in love with any woman. However, he must have many women to support him.
To be a successful businessman, one cannot have weaknesses.
Therefore, he does not need love.
Nangong Chuci once thought that it was him who had abandoned love and that he had given up on love. Now looking back, he realized that love had abandoned him long ago.
Deep down in his heart, he has always longed for a love that will last forever to warm his heart.
In the end, it was all a dream.
Bai Qiqian sat in the sedan chair, opened the red curtain, and watched the people coming and going around her.
There was a bustle of people coming and a bustle of people leaving. This quiet and plain happiness filled her heart.
The sedan walked around the city gate several times before being carried into the palace.
The chamberlain read out the imperial edict, and the emperor named Nangong Sili as a noble concubine and lived in Chaoyang Palace. Bai Qiqian was sent to Chaoyang Palace by the chamberlain after burning incense and bathing.
However, the emperor did not come.
Bai Qiqian was secretly wondering and said to the dowry maid: "Call the eunuch on duty from Chaoyang Palace over here. I have something to ask."
The two maids looked at each other, wondering what Bai Qiqian had in mind.
Bai Qiqian frowned and raised her voice unconsciously: "What? Didn't you two hear what I said? Don't forget, I and you are tied to the same rope.
Grasshopper. If anything happens to me, you will not end well."
The two maids didn't seem to take Bai Qiqian seriously. Both of them looked indifferent to Bai Qiqian.
Bai Qiqian sneered: "Do you think you can escape unscathed after my proxy marriage is revealed? Hum, I tell you that the royal family will never allow such a scandal to exist."
The two maids made a "pop" sound and knelt down on the ground. One of the maids said tremblingly: "Master, I know I was wrong. Please tell me clearly what I should do."
Bai Qiqian nodded with satisfaction: "Well, today is a great day for me, but the emperor did not show up. There must be something fishy about this matter. You two go and find out what happened."
The two people took the order, stood up quickly, ran to the hall, and picked out some jewelry.
Bai Qiqian was sitting in the luxurious Xiang Pavilion, and her doubts became more and more intense.
Which part of the song "Split Zhang Country" is going to be sung?
After waiting for a cup of tea in the room, one of the maids hurriedly walked in, followed by two chambermaids.
"This servant has met the imperial concubine and wishes her well."
"You two father-in-laws, please come without any courtesy."
"I thank you, the noble concubine."
"Your Majesty, we are here this time to invite you to Ningxintang." The waiter held the sandalwood-scented box in both hands and handed it to Bai Qiqian, "Here are the clothes prepared for you. Please put it on, Your Majesty."
.”
"Well, I would like to trouble you two father-in-laws to wait a moment."
Qing'er followed Bai Qiqian and followed her into the house to serve her.
Bai Qiqian opened the wooden box. Inside was a light cyan dress, which looked a bit like the clothes worn by the aunt in the nunnery. She frowned slightly and asked with some confusion: "Qing'er, what on earth is going on here?"
What's going on?"
Qing'er said: "Your Majesty, this is the rule in the palace. Every time the emperor accepts a concubine, he will let the concubine stay in Ningxin Hall for a few days. It is said that the imperial master will take the concubines to pray for blessings."
Bai Qiqian nodded: "So this is the rule in the palace, what about the emperor? Why is the emperor not here today?"
Qing'er hesitated and said: "Mother, I heard that the emperor seems to have been away from the palace these days."
Bai Qiqian was stunned: "He is not in the palace?"
Since he is not in the palace and still wants to marry Nangong Sili, what is his plan?
Or maybe Hua Xuxuan doesn't care about this marriage?
But this doesn't make sense. If you don't value her, why did you personally issue an imperial edict and make her a noble concubine?
After Bai Qiqian changed her clothes, she followed the chamberlain to Ningxintang.
After taking off her red makeup, her bare face still held a coquettish beauty, with a faint smile on her lips: "Eunuch, I wonder what the Imperial Master usually does with his concubines?"
The little eunuch leading the way replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Your Majesty only needs to follow the Imperial Master to recite the scriptures. It usually takes three days. After your Majesty stays in Ningxintang for three days, you can return to your home."
Went to the main hall."
Bai Qiqian asked again: "I wonder who this national master is?"
When he mentioned the Imperial Preceptor, the young eunuch's tone became serious: "The Imperial Preceptor is a god."
Bai Qiqian made a "puff" sound, covered her mouth and laughed: "How can the national master be a god?"
The little eunuch was about to turn around to explain, but when he saw Bai Qiqian's amazing smile, he couldn't help but froze there. It took him a long time to come back to his senses, and his face turned red: "The Imperial Master knows astronomy and geography, what is he but a god?
"
Bai Qiqian tilted her head slightly: "Is this Imperial Master so powerful?"
The little eunuch's eyes were full of admiration: "Of course, the Imperial Advisor can know everything through astrology and divination. Every time the emperor leads troops to fight, the Imperial Advisor is on hand to strategize."
Astrology and divination are so powerful?
Make plans within the strategy, and win decisively from thousands of miles away.
This reminded Bai Qiqian of Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period. Could it be that this national master was just like Zhuge Kongming, with talents in the world? Then she really wanted to meet this national master.
Of course, if he can be persuaded to go to the Jinhui Dynasty and help Ye Liyuan, that would be an even better thing.
