After exchanging lives, I can't get rid of the binding cp

Chapter 5 Swap Identity

The wedding date appointed by the imperial decree is at the end of next month, which is also the first auspicious day in early summer.In order to catch up with the wedding date, the Ban family began to prepare after receiving the order.

And since returning from the Lantern Festival that day, Ban Xiyu has been shutting up all the time, lazily hiding in the room and reading some miscellaneous books, and never asked about the progress of the wedding preparations.

Second, Mrs. He, who was in charge of arranging the marriage, was busy trying to persuade Master Ban to ask the emperor to withdraw his order.The third is that Mr. Ban knew nothing about these housework, and he was used to being a hands-off shopkeeper in the past, so he only asked about it occasionally.

Later, according to people chatting, Ban Xiyu found out that during this period, grandparents quarreled again because of the marriage contract.They made a lot of noise, but grandma didn't want anyone to tell her about it, so when she heard about it, everything in the mansion was ready.

One morning when she was about to leave the court, Ban Xiyu sat in front of the dressing table and looked at herself in the mirror. She was so delicate and beautiful, but she was a doll who couldn't control herself.

Qingshuang's hands applied rouge and powder to her face, and her refreshing face became charming.She put on her best attire like a sacrificial offering, listening to the babbling voice of the teaching nun next to her ear.

Afterwards, another little servant girl came in to tell the legend that Mrs. He would come over after a while to say goodbye to her.

Ban Xiyu had her usual gentle smile on her face: "Okay, I see. You've worked so hard for so long, it's still early, you go down and have a rest first. I'll sit quietly and wait for grandma to come over."

In order to send off the marriage, the maids in Ban Xiyu's yard have been busy since Yinshi, and now they are not only sleepy, but also hungry.Although there were rotations among them, they couldn't bear it after all, so they hurriedly withdrew.

The crowd dispersed, and the wing room fell silent.Ban Xiyu suppressed her smile, looked at the unclosed dowry blankly, and turned her head away.

Her gaze swept across the mirror, and she unexpectedly saw the young maid who stayed in the house.

"Didn't I tell you all to rest." Ban Xiyu's tone was a bit cold, "There is no need to serve here, go out."

"it's me."

*
Ban Xiyu's sullen expression turned into surprise in an instant: "Why are you here?" She looked Lou Xiyue up and down, "It's still the same attire. Did you come here on purpose to say goodbye to me?"

Lou Xiyue looked her in the eyes and said, "No, I'm here to make an exchange with you."

Ban Xiyu's heart jumped because of this sentence: "What?"

Lou Xiyue approached her.The two people of similar stature and facial features faced each other, and the flickering candlelight clearly reflected their faces.

"I will marry you, I will be Ban Xiyu, and you will be that free Lou Xiyue." Lou Xiyue's firm eyes fell on Ban Xiyu's face, and her tone was rare and gentle: "I know , you don't want to marry him."

She clearly remembered Ban Xiyu smiling brightly under the fireworks on the night of the Lantern Festival.It was a state of complete relaxation without any baggage.And that kind of Ban Xiyu only appeared briefly at the Lantern Festival.

In the past few days, Lou Xiyue often pretends to be an ordinary maid and hangs around Ban's house.She deduced from all the signs she had observed recently that Ban Xiyu didn't want to obediently be a boudoir lady who had no freedom and obeyed the rules.

More than anyone, she wants to escape control.

Therefore, the plan of exchanging identities has advantages and disadvantages for the two of them.

Ban Xiyu was at a loss for words for a moment.She is not as relaxed as Lou Xiyue: "I don't want to marry, but you are used to being carefree, how can you be locked up in a house where you are not free like me?"

She would rather that Lou Xiyue came today because she wanted to return to Ban's house.

"If you want to help me, you don't have to do this." Ban Xiyu said again:

"I don't even want to be in the same room with a man I don't know, let alone you." She understands the principle of not doing to others what you don't want.

However, Lou Xiyue said: "I am not for you, but for myself." She said:
"You know, I have an enemy in the capital. That person has left his name in the Tea House. I speculate that his status should not be low. If he has the status of Princess Xuanping, he will naturally get twice the result with half the effort."

Ban Xiyu understood: "Then how can I help?"

Hearing this, Lou Xiyue smiled and said, "Agreeing to exchange identities is the greatest help you have given me. After today, you can just do whatever you want."

"I..." Ban Xiyu blinked her eyes, the blush at the corners of her eyes deepened.She didn't expect that Lou Xiyue would take the initiative to exchange identities.

This was really a big surprise for her.

At this moment, she felt that Lou Xiyue was the bodhisattva sent by heaven to save her.

Ban Xiyu pressed the wet corners of her eyes, and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Ban's belongs to you, but now you want to marry me for me. To complete what I should have done."

Lou Xiyue shook her head and said, "There's no need to say more. You don't need to feel guilty, I did it out of selfishness." She glanced at the sky outside the window and urged:

"It's getting late, let's change our clothes."

*
A light blue gauze screen reflected two figures inside and outside.

Ban Xiyu untied her belt and took off her fiery red wedding dress; Lou Xiyue took off her sword bag and put the replacement clothes on the screen.

Two people are reflected in the smooth mirror.Ban Xiyu stood behind Lou Xiyue, she was persistent with the wooden comb, untied Lou Xiyue's three thousand black hair and recombed her makeup.

Lou Xiyue took off the rouge from Ban Xiyu's face, and told her life in Xianyangmen for the past 17 years, and Ban Xiyu also told the trivial things of life in these years.

When the sky turned pale, Lou Xiyue changed into that cumbersome wedding dress.The phoenix crown and xiapei are as colorful as the sunset, and the beautiful flowers bloom all the way, and the golden phoenix with silver thread soars in the clouds.

Ban Xiyu put on the long skirt with narrow sleeves that Lou Xiyue brought.Wearing this light blue dress, she looked more and more beautiful, dignified and generous.Compared with Lou Xiyue's sassy, ​​she is a little more gentle.

The hour was approaching, and they had little time to lose.

Ban Xiyu held Lou Xiyue's hand and said: "You must be careful when you go to the capital. The relationship between the court power and the royal family is very complicated, and then..."

Lou Xiyue nodded slightly: "I understand. I have a little understanding of the grievances between King Xuanping and the emperor. I will pay attention."

Later, they exchanged the jade pendants they carried with them.

"Also." Ban Xiyu lowered his head, his eyes a little uncomfortable: "I know you have no intention of marrying King Xuanping, and it is helpless to marry him instead. But if he wants to perform Zhougong's ceremony with you, you must find a way to avoid it." Come on, don't let him take advantage of you."

Hearing this, Lou Xiyue smiled and accepted her concern: "Don't worry, I will naturally have a way to deal with it. The world is dangerous, and you need to be careful when you go out. If you encounter any problems, you can go to this person--"

She handed a painting scroll to Ban Xiyu: "Wen Jisheng is a friend I met when I was traveling the rivers and lakes. He is very righteous and trustworthy. This is his portrait.

"His appearance is very recognizable. You can only see a light red birthmark in the corner of his eye that looks like a butterfly, that's it." Lou Xiyue said: "Wen Jisheng has no rules in doing things, he is bold and has no sense of propriety. He If something offends you, just teach him a lesson."

Ban Xiyu said solemnly: "Okay, I will write it down."

Although Ban Xiyu looks exactly like her, Wen Jisheng is not a fool, he can see through the scam of twin sisters swapping identities just by looking at them.

Lou Xiyue knew that she couldn't hide it for too long, but based on her understanding, even if Wen Jisheng could tell, she wouldn't embarrass Ban Xiyu.Then, she handed a gray whistle to Ban Xiyu.

Lou Xiyue said: "As long as you blow this, you will be able to contact him. If he gets the letter, he will definitely come to look for you."

Ban Xiyu nodded: "I understand."

After saying this, the two fell into silence at the same time.They raised their eyes and looked at each other, with expressions of farewell in their eyes.

"you……"

"I……"

At this time, the door of the wing room was knocked suddenly.Mrs. He's voice came in from outside the door: "Ayan, are you ready?"
