cold hearted son-in-law

On the Shangyuan Festival in the 11th year of Jianwen, the wedding where the eldest princess married the number one scholar with ten miles of red makeup attracted thousands of empty alleys in the capital.At that time, the eldest princess was eighteen years old, and Zhuangyuan Lang was seventeen years old.

Chu Yunxi, who was dressed in a bright red wedding dress, sat upright on the horse, with a lot of thoughts in his heart.Last year she came to this strange world during the Lantern Festival, and now it has been a whole year; last year she was also envied by everyone sitting on the horse in a red robe, when she went to the Qionglin Banquet under the name of the number one scholar Li Mo.Now she is going to marry the eldest princess under the name of Chu Yunxi. She has given up the name of Chu Yuyan, the common name of her previous and present lives, and has become a relative of the emperor.

Chu Yunxi is dressed in a crimson festive official uniform, with a black gauze hat on his head, a jade belt around his waist, and golden boots. He rides on a horse with a saddle bridle painted with gold-painted lychee flowers and a golden silk embroidered auspicious cloud mattress, and leads the ceremony. The welcoming team and the imperial guard of honor marched to the palace with gongs and drums.

After passing through Donghuamen, send wild geese, coins and silk and other dowry gifts to the emperor who personally officiates the marriage, and then go to the Changle Palace of the eldest princess to marry the bride.At this time, the Eldest Princess was wearing a crown of nine braids and four phoenixes on her head, and a green gown with hairpins and tinsel. She was sitting on a crane chariot, and under the guidance of the son-in-law, she set off for the son-in-law's mansion.

The dowry items and servants that should be equipped according to the status of the eldest princess, pearl agate, earrings and gold hairpins, four seasons costumes, jade pendants and gold leather, gold ware inlaid with jewels, gold ware, gold ware, and gold gilt for travel There are countless things such as sedan chairs, as well as beautiful silk and gold curtains, decorations, mats, carpets, screens, etc., and thousands of dowry bearers.Another prince was married on horseback.There are two double veils on both sides of the princess, and there are eight maids wearing hairpin flowers standing on both sides.Behind the princess was the chief official of the Zongzheng Temple, King Qi, the uncle of the eldest princess, Mrs. Qi Wang and other wives who ordered their wives to accompany them. There were so many carriages and horses that they lined up directly from the Donghua Gate of the Imperial Palace to the Concubine's Mansion on Xining Street.The grandeur of the wedding, the lineup of guards of honor, was unprecedentedly grand, unmatched by all the daughters of China.

The team welcoming and seeing off the bride arrived at the Prince Consort's Mansion, where they started the nine-cup banquet bestowed by the emperor and performed the wedding ceremony.Because the son-in-law has no parents and relatives who can sit in the high hall, and the queen is sick, the emperor has not yet arrived, so he can only worship heaven and earth.

Even so, Chu Yunxi was dazed by those complicated etiquettes. The etiquette officer kept talking in her ears. She froze with a smile and followed them one by one. In her opinion, no matter how luxurious and grand a wedding is, it is nothing more than a wedding ceremony. It's just a fake phoenix show.But in my mind, I was thinking about the complicated eyes Li Mo looked at her after drinking on New Year's Eve, and his last soft sentence: It's too late to go now!Chu Yunxi was stunned at that moment, staring fixedly at Li Mo, unable to say anything, but Li Mo stopped after speaking, turned his head to look at the sky full of ice and snow outside, the north wind howling, the chill piercing through his bones.Thinking of this, Chu Yunxi felt a faint headache. She wasn't sure if Li Mo knew her identity, and why didn't she reveal it?She was thinking about Shi Ze who said she was going back to Beijing to attend her wedding, but not only did no one come, nor did any news come in the whole day, which made her feel even more uneasy.

After the banquet was over, the prince returned to the palace first, and the princesses and ladies also dispersed, and the rest of the people joined the congratulatory guests to attend the consort's wedding banquet and Shangyuan banquet.At this time, the newlyweds return to the new house first, and after the newlyweds' wedding ceremony, the son-in-law goes outside to toast with the guests.

"Eat something and then go out for a drink." The eldest princess wears lead powder, rouge, graffiti yellow, black eyebrows, lip balm, face painting, and appliqués, wearing a multi-layered and layered dress Seeing that Chu Yunxi was about to leave after completing the marriage ceremony, he hurriedly got up and said, with a gentle voice and a caring tone.

The red candles are shining brightly in the bridal chamber, and the beautiful bride is standing beside the red sandalwood-carved dragon and phoenix wedding bed. The bedside is hung with a red satin embroidered dragon and phoenix double happiness bed curtain. On the bed are brocade quilts and wedding pillows with red mandarin ducks playing in the water. With a festive atmosphere.

Chu Yunxi responded uncomfortably, and sat down at the table in the room.The servants in the room retreated quietly, and the eldest princess Fang sat down on the chair beside Chu Yunxi with a shy smile.In front of the red candle lights, men and women are separated by arm's length, looking at each other silently.

"Lang Jun." The two "Eldest Princess" said at the same time.The eldest princess looked at Chu Yunxi with a slightly red face, her eyes were like water, and her expression was serious.

"Lang Jun, let's talk first." The eldest princess bowed her head and said with a smile.

"Cough, princess, please speak first." Chu Yunxi clenched his hands, his forehead was sweating.

"Lang Jun can be called Gao Yang, or he can be called Ming Yue." The eldest princess said shyly.

"Huangfu Mingyue? Oh, you can just call me Chu Yunxi." Chu Yunxi said casually, and it was too late to react.

"Well, Chu Yunxi, you said 'your real name is Chu Yunxi' at the Qionglin Banquet last year, and I will always remember it." The eldest princess looked up at Chu Yunxi and smiled, her face was more red than rouge, but her eyes were still firm and bright He looked at Chu Yunxi intently. "My mother and mother said to Mingyue before we got married that we can cross the same boat after ten years of practice, and sleep together after a hundred years of cultivation." The husband and wife in this life are because of the practice in the previous life, saying that Yunxi is a good man, so that Mingyue cherishes fate and happiness. Now they are married to Mr. Lang , we will share weal and woe in the future. I don’t ask for a continuation of fate in the afterlife, but only for this life, and I only hope that my husband can do what he promised at the beginning, from one life to the end, and grow old forever.”

"This... good." Chu Yunxi said as he wiped the sweat from his brow.

"What did Yunxi want to say just now?" The princess asked with a smile when she saw Chu Yunxi happily agreeing.

"Me? Oh... that... I'm not... I'm..." Chu Yunxi looked at the eldest princess's gentle eyes and stammered, unable to speak.

"Huh? If you have something to say, just say it." The eldest princess looked at Chu Yunxi suspiciously.

"Okay, I want to know if something happened to Shi Ze? He said he would come to the wedding!" Chu Yunxi spoke very quickly about Shi Ze, but he still didn't reveal his identity.

"The road from Huzhou to the capital was blocked by snow a few days ago, so it may be too late." The eldest princess thought for a while and said.

"Oh, and, I'm Chu..." "Master, the guests in front are urging you." Chu Yunxi's voice was interrupted by Qinghe outside, so that the last word 'Yuyan' didn't exist. It was heard clearly by the eldest princess.

"I'm going out first, let's talk about it next time." Chu Yunxi rushed out of the door and left.

Chu Yunxi was in a hurry to walk to the hall of the front yard, and was almost knocked down when he passed the garden gate.Chu Yunxi stood firm and looked up to see Qin Jue, who was reeking of alcohol, and saw no one around, frowning and about to leave.

"Stop, stop, I'm going to find you, remember, you must treat her well, or I will never let you go!" Qin Jue, who was already drunk, yelled at Chu Yunxi.

Chu Yunxi narrowed his eyes, stared at Qin Jue and said with a sneer, "You have no right to say that!"

"I'm not qualified? When I met the eldest princess, you didn't know where to play with mud?!" Qin Jue said sitting cross-legged on the ground.

"So what, do you know why I don't marry you? Because the person she wants to marry will bow down to her in the future, but she will not marry someone who has bowed down to her and is still determined. It is good not to get it .” Chu Yunxi smiled at Qin Jue.

Qin Jue was taken aback for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he got up and beat Chu Yunxi.Chu Yunxi was not afraid of getting drunk, so he just watched the stumbling people standing by.Just about to give Qin Jue a second shot, he didn't do anything when he saw several colleagues coming over, and let them pull Qin Jue away.

Chu Yunxi looked at the background of Qin Jue leaving angrily, and didn't have the intention of going to the front to accompany the guests, so he held a jug of wine and found a place where no one was around and drank it on his own.Tonight is the Lantern Festival, and there is rarely a curfew when viewing the lanterns. She planned to get drunk with Shi Ze, but none of her acquaintances were there.Li Mo was sick in Zhuangyuan's mansion and did not come, Xiao Wei went to the emergency treatment of a princess, Xiao Yichen was still in Huaning Palace to watch over the queen's condition all the time.

Chu Yunxi leaned against the rockery alone, drinking in a corner of the huge son-in-law's mansion.The son-in-law's mansion is really big, so big that a son-in-law's mansion and a princess's mansion occupy most of Xining Street.The halls and pavilions inside are majestic and majestic.Most of them were built in imitation of the Princess Chang's Mansion.Chu Yunxi narrowed his eyes and looked around, smiled and shook his head.

The marriage of the daughter of the Son of Heaven cannot be called a marriage but a marriage, and for a son-in-law, it cannot be called a marriage but a lord. Shame, only Qin Jue, for this reason, there is some kind of affection.It's just that although the son-in-law and the princess are called husband and wife, they have to abide by the etiquette, they have to live and eat separately, and they can't see each other often.After the princess gets married, she will still go back to live in the princess mansion. As for the son-in-law, those who have a son-in-law mansion can live in the son-in-law mansion, and those who don't can live in their own home.Chu Yunxi was not in a hurry to reveal his identity partly because of this peculiar rule, but what the eldest princess said in the new house made Chu Yunxi panic for a moment, what if the eldest princess did not follow the rules and did not return to the princess mansion?

"Why is Chu Lang hiding here? Is he afraid that his bridal chamber will be powerless? Do you want me to help you?" Mrs. Hua's charming voice sounded beside her.

"How does Mrs. Hua plan to help?" Chu Yunxi asked calmly without looking back.

"I can let you spend the night in this palace!" Mrs. Hua was dressed in a red dress like fire, with beautiful peonies in full bloom embroidered with gold silk, illuminated by red lanterns, showing a mysterious feeling. She stood alone in Chu Yun Hee said face to face.

"This is against the rules." Chu Yunxi leaned against the rockery and couldn't retreat anymore, so he moved to the side, but was stopped by Mrs. Hua's hand

"Rules? Chu Lang still cares about this?" Mrs. Hua looked at Chu Yunxi with a playful smile, and then whispered into Chu Yunxi's ear, "Your crime of deceiving the emperor is enough to kill you several times!"

"What does Mrs. Hua mean? Yunxi doesn't understand." Chu Yunxi looked directly at Mrs. Hua indifferently.

"I haven't been able to distinguish between men and women after touching for so long?" Mrs. Hua took a step back, looked at the bright red fingernails and smiled provocatively.

"What do you want?" Chu Yunxi asked lazily, patting the dust that might be on the wedding clothes.

"I'm the best at talking. As long as I'm in my eyes, you can be male or female. You can talk about anything for one night." "Shameless!" Chu Yunxi interrupted Mrs. Hua, trying to avoid people and leave here. .

"What? Do you really think that Bengong won't say anything?" Mrs. Hua smiled even more alluringly, but her eyes were cold.

"If you wanted to say it, wouldn't you have said it earlier? You have always disliked Gao Yang's arrogance and self-importance. Didn't you just want to see a joke by not saying it on purpose?" Chu Yunxi curled his lips.

"It's even more exciting to announce it tonight!" Mrs. Hua sneered.

"Indeed, in this way, the eldest princess will never die with you." Chu Yunxi did not show weakness.

"Who is this Palace afraid of?" Mrs. Hua said domineeringly.

"Oh, you can bring down the eldest princess first! How about we make a bet, even if the eldest princess knows my identity at this moment, the first thing she will do is to hide it for me." Chu Yunxi was full of confidence, because the queen's The illness, because of the face of the royal family, and because the Huzhou case is complicated and unresolved, so she can't die now.

"Then your apprentice and Shi Ze don't care?" Mrs. Hua was not annoyed, she asked casually.

"What are you going to do?" Chu Yunxi asked coldly.

"My son-in-law, Your Royal Highness has an invitation, and there is an urgent order in the palace." Qing He came over in person and said hastily, not noticing that there was someone standing beside her.

"Urgent order? Let's go" Chu Yunxi's heart skipped a beat, and he hurried towards the new house without thinking about anything.

The eldest princess was already waiting outside the new house, she glanced at Chu Yunxi, she didn't say anything, but her face was plain, she changed into a semi-new plain long dress, and her hair was simply tied into a wedding hairstyle.

Chu Yunxi nodded and went in, changed into a green robe in a few moments.Chu Yunxi followed the eldest princess and took a few confidants out of the back door to rush to the palace in a sedan chair. Both of them had a bad complexion, which was in stark contrast to the people playing outside watching the lanterns.Chu Yunxi recalled the last time she ventured to the palace to treat the queen. At that time, she brought her apprentice and the fainted eldest princess to break into the night ban with the eldest princess' jade card. At that time, she was not as restless as she is now.

It was still the place where the sedan chair stopped last time. The eldest princess turned pale, and tightly grasped Chu Yunxi's sleeve.Chu Yunxi took her in, stopped at the outer pavilion, and let the eldest princess go in, while she stood beside Xiao Yichen who had a deathly gray face, without saying a word.At this time, the entire Huaning Palace was silent.Chu Yunxi and Xiao Yichen waited in the outer pavilion all night, but the eldest princess never came out.

At four o'clock in the night, that is, on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month in the 11th year of Jianwen, the Queen of Qin was buried, and the emperor gave orders to stop court for three days without ringing bells and drums.The whole country takes vegetarian food for three days.
