Bai Ruxue was setting up sentries outside the palace at the moment to ensure the smooth progress of the Queen's Standing Ceremony. When she heard that Shao Yan was not in the palace, she immediately led the royal guards and imperial guards to search the entire palace, but after several rounds of searches,
When we came down, we couldn't find any trace of Shao Yan or Cao Xuanjiao.
Deng Bingtang, Li Changsheng and others were very surprised, saying that the emperor always acted cautiously, and even if he occasionally lost his temper, he would never choose to do so at this time.
Just when everyone was at a loss what to do, a young eunuch hurriedly came to report that the emperor had left the palace with the new queen Cao Xuanjiao half an hour ago.
Everyone heard that the emperor was protected by four masters, and they felt a lot more at ease. However, today was the ceremony for the establishment of the queen after all. It would be too unseemly if the two newcomers did not show up. So after everyone discussed it, they decided to
Bai Ruxue, Zhang Baihu, and Li Changsheng each led dozens of elite soldiers out of the palace to search for places where the emperor might have been.
However, they searched many places and still had no clues. In desperation, Bai Ruxue suddenly thought of a place - the seaside. She remembered that Shao Yan once said that the seaside can make people relax and forget all their worries.
Just as Bai Ruxue expected, just when everyone was worried, the newlyweds Shao Yan and Cao Xuanjiao were strolling on the beach at this moment, looking at the boundless sea as if they were just looking at the flowers.
The four masters and the maid Yunhe followed closely behind, so there is no need to worry about safety.
The two walked for a while through the thick snow, then spread the red wedding dress on the ground and sat on it to rest.
The cold wind was biting, especially on this unprotected seaside, where the strong wind was raging wildly. Cao Xuanjiao's face turned red and she could not help but shiver. She casually tightened her cloak.
Shao Yan knew that she, a frail woman, would not be able to withstand such a biting cold wind, so he smiled slightly and said: "Xuanjiao, if you feel cold, I will ask four masters to take you back to the palace, and I will stay here alone.
That’s it”
Cao Xuanjiao rubbed her face with her hands, shook her head hurriedly and said: "No, people..., I am not cold." Seeing Shao Yan looking at the sea expressionlessly, she mustered up the courage to ask: "I just don't know why the emperor
Are you so nostalgic for the sea?"
Shao Yan took out a jar of wine from his arms, opened the cork, took a sip with great enthusiasm, then handed it to her and said, "Here, take a sip of wine first. The wine can keep out the cold."
Cao Xuanjiao shook her head and said she didn't know how to drink. However, Shao Yan repeatedly pushed the wine jar into her hand, so she had to take a sip. Unexpectedly, she accidentally choked and coughed. Shao Yan laughed and said: "It doesn't matter, first of all
My mouth is like this, and I gradually got used to it."
Cao Xuanjiao listened to his words and took another sip. She felt that she was indeed much better than before, but she did not dare to drink too much. She took two small sips and returned the wine jar to Shao Yan.
Shao Yan took the wine jar and said with an indifferent smile: "You just asked me why I miss ***. In fact, the reason is very simple. I love its vastness, its unrestrainedness, and its unrestrained enthusiasm."
Cao Xuanjiao nodded in understanding, Shao Yan turned to face her face that was red from the cold, and smiled happily: "Maybe you don't understand what I said, but I still want to thank you today.
In such a cold weather, if you, a girl, come here to watch the sea with me, if this gets out, those who like to gossip will definitely say that I am mentally retarded."
"Brainless?" Cao Xuanjiao asked in confusion.
Shao Yan smiled and said: "It means there is a disease in the brain."
"Oh" Cao Xuanjiao nodded her head before she realized it. She couldn't help but her face changed with fear, and she quickly lowered her head and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I am not..."
Shao Yan chuckled: "Okay, look at you girl, you didn't say these words, why are you nervous?"
Cao Xuanjiao's mood calmed down a lot. Shao Yan took a big sip of wine and then put the wine jar on the ground. At this moment, he found that Cao Xuanjiao was looking at him intently, like a wounded sheep.
, while being hostile to a jackal that was about to eat him at any time, he immediately smiled and said: "Isn't it scary how I look now?"
Cao Xuanjiao looked at him, her pretty face blushed slightly, she lowered her head to her chest again, bit her lip and said, "No, I just feel that the emperor seems to have a lot of things on his mind. If the emperor doesn't mind, I would like to be the emperor's confidant."
, I am willing to share some of the burden for the Emperor.”
Shao Yan smiled with satisfaction, thinking that this girl is indeed a kind girl, but it is a pity that such a good girl was regarded as a gift by her father. If I did not accept her as my queen this time, Cao Kun would also try his best to send her to
People around me say that parents in the world are pitiful, but this girl’s father is full of selfishness. It’s rare for his daughter to be so filial to him. I really don’t know how much this girl will feel if he falls in the future.
uncomfortable
Seeing him in a daze, Cao Xuanjiao said that she had made a mistake and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, my concubine said it casually, please don't take it to heart."
Shao Yan said cheerfully: "From now on, you are my wife. We are of the same mind at all times. When I am troubled, I will naturally tell you. If you have any confusion, you can also
Tell me and let me give you some advice."
After hearing these words, Cao Xuanjiao felt moved and conflicted in her heart. She thought, the emperor is right. Now that I am his wife, I should not hide anything from him. But what if I really tell him what happened that night?
As for him, will he spare my father and my whole family? This is a serious crime committed by Mr. Qin. No, let’s take it slow. When he is in a good mood one day, I will tell him
"Xuanjiao, do you know why I brought you to a place like this on my wedding day?" Shao Yan took a sip of wine, looked at her seriously, and said, "You must feel very strange, the king of a country.
, I didn’t go to the church on my wedding day, but instead took my bride around everywhere. I’m afraid there will never be another ridiculous emperor like me in the history of the world.”
Cao Xuanjiao covered her lips and smiled softly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. What you did today is indeed inappropriate in the eyes of outsiders, but I think that the Emperor did not do it on a whim, but because he encountered something disturbing, just like
The emperor just said that you and I are now husband and wife. If you have any troubles, you can tell me. I am willing to be your confidant."
This girl is indeed a well-read poet. Her words are not only comfortable to listen to, but also make people willing to accept them. Shao Yan said with a smile: "Since my queen thinks so, I won't hide it from you.
Before I answer your question, I’ll ask you a question first.”
"Your Majesty, please speak"
"What do you think is the most essential thing for a couple to get married?"
Cao Xuanjiao's face was calm, and she hesitated for a moment before replying: "The marriage between civil couples depends on the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Although the palace is different from the folk, it is the same in this respect. During the marriage, the first priority is to be together.
The second thing to worship heaven and earth is to bow down to the high hall. Heaven and earth exist anytime and anywhere, but there is always only one parent, so I think parents are the most indispensable."
Sure enough, Bingxue was smart, and at one point, Shaoyan smiled knowingly: "You're right, but my mother jumped off a building and died for her country a few months ago. I saw her fall on my knees with my own eyes, but I couldn't save her life...
..." Speaking of sadness, his nose was sore and his heart ached, and all he could think of was Queen Mother Guo's kind smiling face.
Although the old queen mother sometimes acted arbitrarily, her love for Shao Yan was selfless. This is the greatest maternal love in the world. Shao Yan lost his parents when he was young and could no longer remember the love his biological parents had for him. As an orphan, he had
What he only received was his uncle's care. Ever since he traveled to this world, it was Empress Dowager Guo who gave him the love of his mother. Now, his uncle is far away in modern times, and Empress Dowager Guo is also sleeping in the world.
Getting married is a big event. Regardless of the rules of any dynasty, both parents must be present. But he was not, so he could only choose to go to the beach and let it go, hoping that his uncle in a thousand years and the Queen Mother Guo in heaven could see it.
This festive scene
Cao Xuanjiao had heard about the noble integrity of Queen Mother Guo earlier, and her heart was full of respect. She was proud of having such a mother-in-law, and she was even more proud of having such a filial husband.
Shao Yan wiped away the tears of disappointment with his sleeves, stood up, raised the jar and shouted to the sky: "Father, Queen, uncles and uncles, have you all seen it? Your children are getting married today and have become adults. You
There is no need to worry about the child anymore. From now on, the child will focus more on state affairs and become a good emperor respected by thousands of people..."
Cao Xuanjiao was so moved that she cried. Strings of tears ran down her face and fell on the snow.
After shouting, Shao Yan felt very comfortable all over. He drank the last sip of wine from the jar and threw the empty jar into the sea. His eyes were fixed on the looming island country in the distance, and his fists were clenched.
Cao Xuanjiao wiped her tears, slowly came behind him, and persuaded softly: "Your Majesty is so filial, I am very touched. I believe the Queen Mother will also feel very happy on the other side of the sky. There is not much time at this moment."
It’s too early. If we don’t go back, everyone will be worried.”
Shao Yan nodded obediently, turned his head immediately, gently hugged her shoulders, and walked straight back. Cao Xuanjiao's face suddenly turned red to her ears. After all, ancient women were not as open-minded as modern people. Even couples did not dare to do so.
Holding hands in broad daylight, let alone hugging each other
As Shao Yan walked along, he saw that this girl's little face was as red as a tomato, and then he realized that it was his 'rude' behavior. However, he did not let go because of this, but deliberately pushed her towards him.
He carried it in his arms and cursed casually: "This damn day is really cold."
