The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 4

On the second day, the sky was fine.

Although she is well-known as a side concubine, she is actually a concubine.Chu Xue understood it a long time ago, so when the sedan chair of Prince Heng's Mansion quietly picked her up from home in the evening, she was not disappointed at all.The only regret in my heart is that I was born to my parents who personally sent her to the wedding sedan chair. My father has been an official in the court for nearly 30 years and has always been upright. Now, as his daughter, he has to marry as a concubine. He should feel uncomfortable .

She sighed silently in her heart.

In less than half an hour, the sedan chair carrying her had arrived at Hengwang Mansion.According to the rules, Song Chen could not go to marry in person, but at this moment she was already waiting at the door, and she had just stepped out of the bridal sedan chair when a maidservant came to help her.Because she was covered with a red hijab, the furthest thing she could see was the gold-rimmed official boots under Song Chen's red robe in front of her.

The Wantang Garden specially prepared for her has already been packed properly. Along the way, through the hijab, you can vaguely see the red and happy faces everywhere. She smiled to comfort herself, except that she didn't get married. And so on, it seems that it is similar to a wedding ceremony.

After entering the bedroom, the maid led her to the couch, she sat down slowly, and waited for King Heng to take off the hijab.

Several maidservants stood quietly aside.

The room was so quiet that I could hear my heart beating faster and faster.Chu Xue under the hijab lowered her eyes, watching his footsteps gradually approaching and stopping in front of her, and then only felt a gust of wind blowing, and the red cloth on her head was gently taken off.

"Cher."

This was the first time he called her that.

She sighed, slowly raised her head, and met his gaze.

I don't know if it's because of the hi clothes on his body, but he is exceptionally handsome in front of him, and the smile on his face is becoming more and more gentle. Compared with the previous two encounters, he is more kind and gentle tonight.

Fortunately, this man who will be with her for the rest of her life, her husband, looks very pleasing to the eye, and God still has mercy on her.

What about herself?

She wasn't worried because she saw surprise in his eyes.

Is there any woman in the world who is not the most beautiful on her wedding night?Not to mention her impeccable face.

It's amazing.

"My concubine, I have met the prince." She carefully lowered her eyes and burst into a moderate smile.

"You are so beautiful!" He sighed softly.

"My lord, thank you." She still didn't dare to look him in the eyes, but she smiled deeper, making that face a little more beautiful.

He gently pulled up the soft and boneless hands hanging on the red skirt, "Are you hungry? There is dinner in the outer hall, let's go eat some together?"

"My lord, it's hot, please ask my wife to change into clothes." A bride in the room reminded softly.

This reminder was actually very thoughtful, it was mid-summer in June, and regardless of the heavy phoenix crown on her head, the layers of wedding dresses on her body alone made her sweat a little, and she really needed to change her clothes.Song Chen seemed a little bit reluctant, and looked at her for a while before saying, "That's fine, I'll wait for you in the outer hall."

She nodded slightly, got up and was led by the maid to take a bath and change clothes.

After taking a simple bath, she changed into a bright red nightdress, and simply put her long hair in a bun at the back of her head. Looking at the demure and soft makeup in the mirror, she felt relieved, and finally walked towards the outer hall.

The food and drinks had already been set up in the outer hall, and Song Chen, who was also in better clothes, was sitting at the table waiting for her.She saluted lightly and sat obediently beside him.

In fact, this table of wine and food is just a symbolic display. Who would put their minds on eating on such a good day?
Of course he understood this, without moving his chopsticks, he just poured two glasses of wine and handed one of them to her, and she obediently took it.

Since they can't drink Hebei wine together, these two glasses are just like today's wedding bar.

But she doesn't know how to drink. Seeing him drink up the glass in his hand first and then look at her with a smile, she frowned slightly and drank it with her head raised. Then, as expected, she coughed a few times.After she calmed down, she said bluntly, embarrassedly, "I don't know how to drink, so the prince laughed at me."

"It's okay, I will drink with the king in the future, and it will take time." He smiled and poured another glass for himself, and when he was about to pour it for her, the hand holding the jug paused, but he still put it down.

Seeing his little move, she suddenly remembered the scene of the previous two encounters, and also thought of what he claimed to be "my subordinate" at that time, so she apologized softly, "I didn't know the prince twice before, it was very rude, please forgive me .”

"It's okay, if it wasn't for those two encounters, why would Xue'er be sitting here at this moment?" He kept looking at her.

I don't know if it's because she was choked by the wine just now, her face was flushed red, all the way to her slightly wet temples after bathing, this color complemented the red dress on her body, and it made people's hearts itch.

She didn't even know how charming she was.

Another glass of wine fell into his throat, and he put the glass on the table with a click.She was a little surprised, and raised her eyes to meet his gaze, only to see his eyes suddenly darkened, he leaned over and hugged her into his arms, without any pause, his lips fell down.

The whispered exclamations were all strangled in the throat, and the flickering red candles made the room a bit more charming.

The moment she was kissed, she nudged him subconsciously, but this weak move made him hug her waist even tighter, and his mouth also increased his strength.

Why push, isn't this your husband?

The maids left the room early, and Nuo Da's dormitory was just him and her.

Time seemed to stop, and after an unknown amount of time, he finally let go of her lips, but she was already limp and weak in his arms, her face was even redder, her chest was heaving violently with panting that had yet to calm down, her pair of water Wang Wang's black eyes were looking at him helplessly, like a weak and trapped beast surrounded.

"My lord..."

Qin Mansion.

Dragon and Tiger General Qin Mu, who was nearly forty years old, was having dinner with his family.There has been no war in the imperial court for many years, and General Qin has lived in the capital for a long time. Such a warm scene of family gathering at the dinner table is commonplace.

The food was served one after another, but the eldest son Qin Yuan was still there, "Where's Nianxiu?" Qin Mu asked while holding up his chopsticks.

Nianxiu is Qin Yuan's word.

"Probably there are many things in the yamen today, let's eat first." Mrs. Qin, who was serving soup for her husband herself, replied, put down the bowl and turned to the maid behind her, "Let the kitchen leave some food for Nianxiu."

"Yes." The servant girl bowed her head in response, then raised her feet to the door, and met a young man with bright eyes.

The young man was covered in dust and dust, and he could see that he was in a hurry to return.

"There's no need to leave a meal, I'm already back, father, mother."

Qin Yuan, who has reached the age of the crown, is handsome and tall, and has acquired good martial arts, coupled with the courage and strategy inherited from his father, he is now at a good age for high spirits.

Seeing him sit down directly after entering the room, Mrs. Qin frowned, "Have you washed your hands?"

"It was washed outside just now."

This is the truth, he has had a good habit of washing his hands when entering the house since he was a child, even though he was in a hurry to go home for dinner just now, he didn't forget about it.

"The Jingwei Division has been busy recently?" Father Qin Mu asked casually.

"I'm stepping up preparations for the emperor's next month's birthday, so I must be busy." Qin Yuan answered while picking up his chopsticks.

"I'm so busy that I can't go home, I can't come back at noon, I have to remember to eat on time." Mrs. Qin was concerned about picking up food for him, but she didn't forget her reminder.

"Don't worry, mother."

"It's time for my brother to marry a sister-in-law. If I have a sister-in-law, I will definitely go home early every day." Qin Lian, a 12-year-old girl beside me, said with a sly smile.

After a meal, Qin Yuan took a piece of sweet and sour fish and put it in her bowl, "Eat well, little girl, don't act like an old woman all day long."

Qin Lian got a bargain after being a good boy, so he stopped interrupting and concentrated on eating fish.

The young girl's unintentional words touched Madam Qin's heart, and the mother stopped her chopsticks, "Lian'er's words are not unreasonable, and the mother also asked a few girls for you. After a while, the errands will be easier. Think about it, you're already twenty, it's time to start a family."

Qin Yuan paused, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry about this matter, I'll wait two years to talk about it."

"How long do you want to procrastinate?" Mrs. Qin sighed, and then lowered her voice, "The Yue family is gone, and that engagement has long since ceased to count, you..."

"Mom," he interrupted his mother, as if evading, "I've been busy all day and finally sat down. Let's not talk about this today."

Hearing the conversation between the mother and son beside him, Qin Mu put down the glass of wine that was just about to be brought to his mouth, and his face darkened, "The melons twisted by force are not sweet, so let's listen to the reading and cultivate first. A good man cultivates his body first. , When the time comes, if you are not in a hurry, he will be in a hurry."

Seeing that her husband's expression was not right, Mrs. Qin realized that she shouldn't have said what she just said, so she lowered her flag and silenced her drum.

Qin Yuan buried his head in his meal and said nothing.

But the face of the little girl who was a little blurred when she was young flashed through her mind, as well as her crisp and vivid call of "Brother Nianxiu, Brother Nianxiu", which seemed to be ringing in her ears. The food in my mouth suddenly lost its taste.

In a blink of an eye, it's been eight years.

After dinner that day, Qin Mu slowly walked into his study and came to the inner room.

Here is a collection of weapons that he used when he led troops out in the past, full of the glory of his military years.He walked to the innermost side, took out a long and narrow wooden box from the closet, and opened it gently after wiping it carefully with a handkerchief.

A feathered arrow came into view.

There is a small word "Yue" engraved on the shaft of the arrow.

He stroked it carefully with his hands, and after he sighed, his eyes gradually became moist.

"Brother, after so many years, I still haven't been able to clear up your grievances, and even Wenwen has not been found. My brother is incompetent, can you blame me?"

The study was quiet.

In the 21st year of Jianhe, Jianwei General Yue Lan, his wife Chu Rong, who was five months pregnant, and his eldest son Yue Zhi and his youngest daughter Yue Wen, 36 members of his family were exterminated in Yingyue Manor in the southern suburbs of Weizhou City. On the third day, the court surrendered. The decree of the crime was made public, and for General Yue Lan, who had made great contributions to the imperial court, the Ministry of War charged him with treason. The resistance was omitted and replaced by the execution of the family on vacation.

Although the government and the public were shocked, and the world was in an uproar, it is said that the Ministry of War has solid evidence, and the emperor personally reviewed it. Such absurd behavior of killing people first and then convicting them, even Yue Lan's brother-in-law, Yu Shi Chu Lin, has no way , This strange and shocking case has been concluded in this way.

Eight years have been enough to make the world forget that ridiculous murder case.

But after all, there are still people who remember, such as Qin Mu, who lived and died with Yue Lan, still remembers the righteousness of the same robe in the past, such as Qin Yuan, who spent a period of time with Yue Wen's childhood sweetheart, still remembers the one who had a close relationship with him. Doll pro's little girl who actually disappeared.

After a long time, the lights in the study went out, Qin Mu walked out, and closed the door tightly again.
