Prince Consort

Chapter 46 Nanzhao Gu Art (6)
"White shirt?" Hong Qiao asked Bai Zhi with some hesitation.Bai Zhi nodded, giving her affirmation.Hong Qiao hesitated and asked Bai Zhi: "Ma'am, is it a little wrong to wear white on today's big day?"

"It's okay, you just do it." Bai Zhi didn't listen at all.

Hongqiao had no choice but to follow suit, not quite understanding Bai Zhi's approach.

Bai Zhi's thoughts couldn't be more clear.This is what she calls death and rebirth.Everyone would be dissatisfied with her, Prince Gong might jump, the concubine would dislike her, even Mu Tusu would think she was too unbearable.

It's a big taboo to lose the face of your own man outside.

The fact was exactly as Bai Zhi expected, when she attended in white dress of Bai Hua Xi Die, the dignitaries at the banquet were all stunned, some whispered, some had smiles in their eyes, they thought it was a joke, some looked embarrassed, the most embarrassing. The one who was angry was of course Prince Gong, because she arrived late and the guests had already arrived, he couldn't get angry at her in front of the guests, so he just stared at her.When Bai Zhiquan couldn't see it, Shi Shiran sat down and waited for the ceremony to start.

She is so unique, in the festive red hall, it seems to be wearing "mourning clothes", which is very unlucky.

Sitting opposite Bai Zhi was Pei Jiu.He is wearing a green shirt today, with a slight mustache on the corner of his mouth, as if he came here slovenly.He stared at Bai Zhi who was directly opposite him.Bai Zhi occasionally met his eyes, felt a little uncomfortable, and lowered her head to look elsewhere.

Mu Tusu and Princess Nanzhao entered the hall.Princess Nanzhao wore a hipa on her head, so she couldn't see the expression on her face, but Mu Tusu's face was drawn very long and cold, not looking like a groom.

When Mu Tusu saw Bai Zhi attending in "mourning clothes", his eyes were full of astonishment.Bai Zhi met his gaze and smiled.Mutusu turned his face away, not to look at her, but his cold face suddenly became rosy.

First worship to the heaven and earth, second worship to the high hall, husband and wife worship each other, and send them to the bridal chamber, which is very routine and there is no accident.Seeing the two of them entering the bridal chamber, Bai Zhi felt pain in her heart, and couldn't help thinking of the scene of the wedding between Mu Tusu and Princess Nanzhao in her dream.

That day, she was crying all the time, hiding in the room and crying, Qinghe called her out, but she refused to go out until her eyes were red and swollen so painful that she stopped.After stopping, her eyes were blurred and she couldn't see anything clearly.She was afraid that she would be blind from crying, so she wiped away her tears and hid in the bed to calm down, but she couldn't calm down no matter what, so she had to go out to relax.But she came to their bridal chamber uncontrollably, she heard the groans of Princess Nanzhao, the sound was ear-piercing and painful.She ran and jumped into the fish pond.At that time, she knew how to swim and did not drown. On a March night, she sat on the bank in a daze until she fainted.She was in a coma for three days and three nights. When she woke up, she wished so much to sleep again and never wake up again.

This time, Mu Tusu married Princess Nanzhao again.She obviously has experience, and she will not be self-harmed and desperate like in her dream. If she cries, she may not have tears.She just watched the bride and groom being sent into the bridal chamber for a long, long time.

Seeing the guests crowding towards Mu Tusu, eating and drinking, Bai Zhi got up and prepared to leave.Prince Gong suddenly said from behind her: "I will do as you wish."

Bai Zhi knew that Prince Gong was talking to her.He didn't name her name, but just told her not to reply to his words.Bai Zhi took a deep breath, raised her legs and left.On the way back to her room, she met Pei Jiu.Or rather, Pei Jiu was waiting for her there.

Bai Zhi slowed down and came to Pei Jiu, she asked, "Did you come to see my joke?"

Pei Jiu turned to look at her. When did the once innocent man's eyes turn dark?Bai Zhi couldn't see through the emotion contained in his deep eyes.Pei Jiudao: "Are you making a fool of yourself by wearing this white dress today?"

"Isn't this something obvious?" Bai Zhi admitted generously, "I was upset and jealous, so I wore white clothes and cursed." For some reason, Bai Zhi always spoke to Pei Jiu with a sense of ridicule.

Pei Jiu smiled helplessly, and handed Bai Zhi a kit: "You may suffer from insomnia tonight, light the incense in the kit, and maybe you will have a good night's sleep."

Bai Zhi looked at the kit, but didn't accept it.

"What? Afraid I'll give you poison?" Pei Jiu still stretched out her hand, but didn't take back the bag in her hand.

Bai Zhi shook her head, but still didn't answer, she just asked: "What is this?"

"On the day I woke up, I learned that my father committed suicide and the Pei family fell. Maybe I slept too long and suffered from insomnia for several days. Yin Xiang lit this incense for me, and the insomnia disappeared. It is very useful."

Bai Zhi took it and smiled at the corner of her mouth: "Thank you."

"Two maids and one husband, I always feel that you are not good enough." Pei Jiu looked at Bai Zhi and said very sincerely.Bai Zhi was startled, not quite understanding.Pei Jiu continued, "I've been to Nanzhao. Nanzhao is an extremely terrifying place. You can't beat a woman who grew up in such a place."

"Really?" Bai Zhi raised her eyebrows.

"Leave Mutusu."

Bai Zhi wanted to laugh a little, but she didn't expect that Pei Jiu also knew her.Bai Zhi held the incense in her hand tightly: "Winter is still here, and the night is even colder. Let Pei Xian go into the house and have fun. I'll take my leave first." , but he took her arm.Bai Zhi was taken aback.Pei Jiu said, "Silly woman."

These three words seemed to hit her softest heart, she couldn't help but tremble all over, her eyes were a little moist.

"You love him, what a fool." After saying that, Pei Jiu let go of Bai Zhi's arm, and left the quiet path before her.Bai Zhi stood upright in the cold winter weather, cold to the bone.

She's silly and never changed.

Bai Zhi went back to her room, took off her clothes, and ordered Hongqiao to wash her face with hot water.After Bai Zhi washed her face, she wanted to take off her clothes and go to bed, when she glanced occasionally, she saw the kit that was thrown away just now when she entered the room.She paused, held it in her hand, and opened the kit, a burst of tangy aroma hit her.This fragrance is extremely pleasant, Bai Zhi tried to identify this fragrance, perhaps because her knowledge of Chinese herbal medicine is too shallow, so she had no choice but to give up.

She called Hongqiao to get the incense burner, and lit the nice-smelling incense.Bai Zhi took a deep breath, tried to keep her mind blank, walked to the bed, took off her clothes, lay down and fell asleep quickly.

She had a dream, in which she was all alone, sometimes smiling heartily at her, sometimes reciting poems aloud, and sometimes yelling in pain.He ran farther and farther, and she chased after him.This dream made her very tired, her legs felt weak, and her whole body was about to fall apart.Finally, Huang Tian paid off, she caught up with him, and when the man turned around, it was Pei Jiu.

He smiled at her, bright and sad.Bai Zhi only felt that her heartbeat had stopped suddenly and she couldn't breathe.

When she woke up the next day, she was hugged tightly by someone with a pale and handsome face and the smell of alcohol in her breath.Because Bai Zhi moved, it woke him up.He smiled: "Are you awake?"

Bai Zhi nodded, and asked him suspiciously: "Why are you sleeping here? Aren't you..." Shouldn't he be sleeping in the new house, bridal chamber with Princess Nanzhao?

"She's just a display."

But she is a restless display.

Bai Zhi wanted to serve tea to Princess Nanzhao, because Mu Tusu left her and ran away yesterday, she was very angry, so she took all her anger on Bai Zhi.Mu Tusu had gone to court with Prince Gong a long time ago, and did not protect Bai Zhi by her side.

Bai Zhi was waiting for Yuling to come by the door, but Yuling didn't show up for a long time. Did she want her to stay out in the cold?Let her wait for an hour or two?Bai Zhi didn't have the patience to wait for her to bully her.After waiting for a while and seeing that Yuling did not appear, she went back directly.

Of course, such a matter of "regardless of superiority and inferiority" should be remembered.Bai Zhi didn't care, and was invited by the princess to preach and copy scriptures.Bai Zhi went and listened to the concubine's lecture for half an hour, and then punished her for copying the "Diamond Sutra".Bai Zhi was stubborn and refused to copy. The princess was so angry that she slapped the table and scolded her for rebellion.

Bai Zhi became stiff again, and left with her cloak.

It is said that the princess fainted on the spot.

Why is it said?Because Prince Gong came back and directly threw Bai Zhi into the woodshed.Everything is as Bai Zhi wishes.At night, the door of the woodshed was opened, and Mu Tusu stood at the door, looking at Bai Zhi quietly.Bai Zhi also looked at Mu Tusu expressionlessly.

"You're forcing me to divorce you, aren't you?" Mu Tusu looked at her with numbness on his face.

Bai Zhi lay in the haystack, looked at him: "Yes."

Mutusu walked up to her, pinched her chin, and clenched his other hand into a fist.Mu Tusu said: "All you did was relying on my love for you!"

"Don't dare. All I did was to protect myself. I didn't want to marry you, you know it well." Bai Zhi looked at him, but his black and white eyes made him feel even more uncomfortable.

How could she have no expression at all?The previous love was just a phantom, illusory and fragile.

"You love Pei Jiu, don't you?"

Bai Zhi was taken aback.

Mu Tusu couldn't help laughing: "Even talking about his name in his sleep, heh!" Mu Tusu stood up and turned his back to Bai Zhi.Bai Zhi guessed his expression at this time, maybe that was the only time that she was talking in her sleep, but he overheard her.

It's so heartbreaking.

"Baizhi, let's go, I'll let you go." Mutusu said suddenly.

Bai Zhi couldn't see his face, so he hurried away.The door of the firewood room was unlocked, and the cold winter wind came in, making Bai Zhi shiver.

Finally, she got her wish.

Even though the door of the woodshed was wide open, Bai Zhi still closed the door of the woodshed. She slept in the woodshed all night, and was woken up in the morning by Hongqiao's aura of breaking into the door.Hong Qiao couldn't wait to say to Bai Zhi: "Madam, it's not good, the general wrote a letter of divorce and ordered me to hand it over to you."

Only then did Bai Zhi realize that Hongqiao had a letter in her hand.Bai Zhi took it, but didn't look at it, just put it in her arms, and said expressionlessly: "Hongqiao, pack your things, let's go."

Hongqiao looked at Bai Zhi incredulously: "Madam, you..." Hongqiao's gaze suddenly became compassionate, "Madam, if you are sad, cry out."

"I'm afraid you'll change your name to Miss. I'm in my boudoir now." Bai Zhi smiled at Hong Qiao in a teasing tone.

This made Hongqiao even more sad.
