Chapter 85 wedding
The doors and windows of Changyang Palace were tightly closed, lifeless.
The attendants with unfamiliar faces put a newly repaired golden Buddha with a big belly into the hall, and placed it directly opposite the emperor’s dragon couch.
It is clearly a Buddha statue with compassionate eyes, but it stands in the darkness, but it looks a bit treacherous and gloomy.
The emperor on the dragon couch had his mouth crooked and his eyes slanted, his hands were trembling, showing signs of a stroke. Ning Yin dragged a chair slowly and sat half a foot away, admiring the embarrassment and powerlessness of the emperor.
Twenty years of proclaiming himself emperor, and countless royal daughters, in the end, the son who survived the endless suspicion and slaughter, only a fool, a naive, and…
The emperor’s muddy eyes stared blankly at the face that was quite similar to Concubine Li, and his eyes were bloodshot.
…and a madman.
“Kill…kill…”
The emperor desperately wriggled the crooked corners of his mouth, and his eyeballs bulged out like dying fish.
“Kill? No.”
Ning Yin curled her lips, her voice was very soft, “I won’t kill you, at least not now.”
If the emperor died, there would be a great mourning in the world, and his marriage with Yu Lingxi would be ruined.
He will let the emperor “comfortably” live until after his wedding.
Ning Yin had seen enough of the emperor’s ugliness, so she slowly raised her hand, and immediately two teams of women with heavy make-up came in and knelt on both sides of the dragon couch.
Although these women are dressed in court ladies’ attire, they are full of prostitution, and each of them has been a bone-scraping knife that absorbs essence and soul, as if they are not clean people.
“The emperor likes beauties, but he’s too embarrassed to admit it. You have to serve him wholeheartedly. Whoever doesn’t serve you well…”
Ning Yin glanced around leisurely, and the women immediately said tremblingly: “I will serve you wholeheartedly!”
Ning Yin laughed in satisfaction, looked back on the dragon bed, got up and said, “Enjoy the last happiness.”
His pale, thin lips opened and closed slightly, and he uttered two silent words.
The emperor’s eyes were wide open, and he could see that his mouth was saying “Father, Emperor”, he paused every word, cold and mocking.
“Kill…kill!”
The emperor struggled like a fish in a dry trough, the corners of his crooked mouth were drooling, he was still muttering the word “kill”, his twisted and withered fingers tremblingly stretched out towards the deep purple back.
The gaudy women rushed up and pushed him back on the dragon couch.
The bright yellow curtain fluttered, like an invisible giant beast, swallowing up the resentful hoarse whining sound.
…
The Shangyi Bureau rushed to work day and night, and after the auspicious clothes were cut, they were sent to Jingwang’s mansion without stopping.
“So fast?”
Yu Lingxi was making tea according to an ancient book, and was quite surprised to see the palace servants from the Shangyi Bureau entering the door with a brand-new wedding dress.
The palace maid said with a smile: “It’s just a preliminary cut and embroider, please give it a try. If the size and length are not inappropriate, the embroiderer from the Shangyi Bureau will also embroider pearls and gems.”
Yu Lingxi got up and went to the inner room to try on the clothes, and looked at the bronze mirror.
Although the crimson wedding dress has not yet been embellished with gemstones, it is already extremely gorgeous, and the soft fabric with excellent texture hangs down, burning like a sunset glow.
The size was just right, not too much, not too much, and even the grand maid of the Shangyi Bureau who was used to making clothes for beauties and noble ladies couldn’t help being amazed.
The bronze mirror in Prince Jing’s Mansion was extremely smooth and clear. After trying on the wedding dress, Yu Lingxi couldn’t help but take a longer photo.
Putting on her clothes and turning around, she saw Ning Yin Youzai Youzai sitting behind the desk, and she didn’t know how long she had been watching there.
Yu Lingxi hurriedly put on the coat hanging on her arms, covering her thin shoulders, and asked with a smile, “When did you come back?”
“Probably, it started when Sui Sui stared at her own chest and weighed its size.”
Ning Yin paused for a moment, then nodded, “It seems to be a little bigger.”
Ah, that annoying mouth!
“Nonsense.”
Yu Lingxi walked over with the shawl on her arm, and sat beside Ning Yin, “It’s strange. The people from the Shangyi Bureau have never come to measure me, so how do they know my size?”
Ning Yin turned her eyes and asked, “Is the size I estimated accurate?”
“…”
Yu Lingxi came to her senses and opened her almond eyes wide, “When did you estimate it?”
“Since someone gave Suisui as a gift to me before, I will naturally open it up for inspection.”
Ning Yin took it for granted, looked at her slender and strong palms and said, “Inch by inch, I measured it myself for a long time.”
Yu Lingxi took a deep breath, and didn’t have the face to imagine what it would be like to measure his body with his hand as a ruler.
“I said, when I was sleeping in those few days, why did I always feel that there was something panicking…wrong.”
Thinking of this, Yu Lingxi asked, “You’ve been preparing for the wedding dress so early? Then why did you always bully me in the first place?”
It made her think that Ning Yin was taking revenge.
“Nonsense, obviously he is loving Suisui.”
Ning Yin seemed to see through her thoughts, and smiled slowly, “No matter what you do, I will never hate you. Because, you are my king’s precious Sui Sui.”
He is used to telling the truth in a joking tone, the lighter the tone, the more truthful it is.
Yu Lingxi guessed that even if he was really sad, he would only hate others and ruin the world.
“Little lunatic.”
Yu Lingxi suppressed the turbulent sourness and warmth in her heart, leaned her head on his shoulder, and said softly, “Wang Lingqing knew that you had been a servant in the Yu Mansion, and you deliberately let it out, right? You are such a smart person , if you want to conceal the past, it is impossible for Wang Lingqing to find out.”
Ning Yin picked up the teacup that Yu Lingxi had poured earlier, hissed, and pretended to say, “Sui Sui is so smart.”
“The yin and yang are weird.”
With a slight smile, Yu Lingxi snatched the teacup from his hand and drank it down in one gulp.
Ning Yin looked at the empty hand and raised her eyebrows slightly.
“This cup has chili powder in it, and you can’t eat spicy food.”
Yu Lingxi snorted and poured him a new glass.
Ning Yin didn’t pick up the new cup of tea, but stretched out her hand to pull Yu Lingxi over, pressed her lower lip with her finger and pulled it.
Yu Lingxi opened her mouth to bite his finger, but he took advantage of the opportunity to bite her lips.
After a long while, Ning Yin calmly wiped her beautiful lips, and recalled: “It’s a bit spicy, but the taste is very good.”
Yu Lingxi was out of breath, and pursed her red lips.
“If you don’t drink serious tea, it will be spilled.”
The cup of new tea in her hand had already been spilled, and the tea dripped down her arms through her fingers, soaking her cuffs.
She wanted to find a veil to wipe it off, but Ning Yin grabbed her wrist.
“Which mansion do you like to live in?” Ning Yin asked.
Yu Lingxi fluttered her eyelashes, subconsciously replied: “This one.”
This mansion was the rudiment of the Regent’s Mansion in the previous life, and the towers and pavilions all had familiar shadows. Living here, she always felt that she could make up for many shortcomings.
Ning Yin didn’t speak, just lowered her eyes and lowered her head, and carefully licked the tea soup down her fingertips little by little.
The sun was warm in early spring, and his handsome profile was covered with a faint warm light, making him look quiet and handsome. Yu Lingxi curled up her fingers, letting the numbness spread all over her limbs along her wrist.
…
Ning Yin has suddenly become busy recently, these few days she left early and returned late, and Yu Lingxi even met him pitifully seldom.
Occasionally passing by the corridor, you will see officials and attendants carrying boxes of things in, as if preparing to arrange something.
Ning Yin… When do you plan to marry her?
Maybe it’s autumn.
Yu Lingxi pinpointed the date and guessed that the prince’s wedding had to be prepared at least half a year in advance, and when all the etiquette was completed, it should be the season for the fragrance of osmanthus.
Autumn is also very good. In her previous life, she was sent to Ning Yin’s side in early autumn.
February 17th, early morning.
Yu Lingxi woke up in a daze, turned over on the couch, and then rolled into a firm embrace.
She raised her hand to touch it, then opened her eyes suddenly, and met a pair of black and clear pupils.
“Ning Yin?”
Yu Lingxi blinked, she hadn’t seen him when she woke up for a long time, and thought she was still in a dream.
Her bleary-eyed look is a bit charming, and the end of her eye hooks are alluring.
A dark smile fainted in Ning Yin’s eyes, she stretched out her fingers and rubbed the little hooks at the end of her eyes, and said softly: “Get up, King Zenben will send you back to Yu Mansion after using it.”
“Back to Yu Mansion?”
Did the little lunatic change gender today?
After Yu Lingxi finished washing and eating, she boarded Ning Yin’s carriage full of doubts.
In front of the palace gate, several attendants were taking down the old palace lanterns and replacing them with brand new red lanterns.
The palace maids came and went in an orderly manner, holding candlesticks, silk satins and other items.
Before Yu Lingxi could look carefully, Ning Yin lowered the curtain of the car and turned her head gently until she could only see him in her eyes and heart.
Yu Lingxi also missed her parents, but she couldn’t bear the little lunatic, so she blinked and said with a smile: “Suddenly showing kindness and sending me home, aren’t you afraid that you will miss me in the future?”
“Sui Sui must have overestimated himself.”
Ning Yin smiled very lightly, and said meaningfully, “It’s only one day, I can still afford to wait.”
“one day?”
Yu Lingxi always felt that his expression was unpredictable, and he didn’t know what bad idea was brewing.
But soon, when the carriage stopped in front of the gate of Yu Mansion, Yu Lingxi finally knew what the phrase “one day” meant.
The Yu Mansion was extremely lively. Yu Xinyi personally instructed his servants to hang red silk flowers on the plaque at the main entrance, stepping back from time to time and looking at it carefully: “It’s crooked, go a little more to the left.”
Seeing her younger sister getting off the carriage in Prince Jing’s Mansion, she put her hips on her hips and said with a smile: “Sui Sui, are you back? The Shangyi Bureau sent the Jifu and Fengguan over, go and see if it fits!”
“Sister, this is…”
Yu Lingxi looked at the bustling red silk happy characters all over the house, and suddenly guessed something, she suddenly turned her head to look at Ning Yin who was smiling wantonly beside her.
“He didn’t tell you?”
Yu Xinyi was taken aback by her younger sister’s blank reaction, and said in shock, “No way, you’re getting married tomorrow, and His Highness really didn’t tell you?”
Even though she had already guessed it, Yu Lingxi couldn’t stop her heart from beating wildly, and the surprises and surprises were mixed to the extreme, giving her a sense of illusion like a dream.
“Have you been busy with these recently?”
Yu Lingxi didn’t know whether to laugh or to be annoyed for a moment. After holding back for a while, she hugged Ning Yin and said, “When did you set the date? Why didn’t you tell me?”
Terribly, the eye sockets are a little sore.
Yu Lingxi turned her head and wiped all the sweet wetness on the lapel of his shirt.
Yu Xinyi rubbed his chin and was watching vigorously, but was chased away by Yu Huanchen.
Ning Yin caressed Yu Lingxi’s back, very satisfied with her surging surprise and bewilderment at the moment.
The sweetness of warm water and slow cooking is never as unforgettable as the instant stimulation.
He was born a bad breed, he didn’t have much moral values, and it made no difference to him whether he got married or not.
A paper marriage does not restrict him, as long as it is the person he puts on top of his heart, he will always love her even if he does not get married; if he is too lazy to pay attention to her, marrying her is just a dead thing.
But, want to make her happy.
Wanting to use all despicable or normal means to imprint herself on Yu Lingxi’s heart forever, it made her feel so emotional every time she thought about today, until she couldn’t stop dying.
“As long as it is Sui Sui’s wish, it should come true.”
Ning Yin pinched the back of Yu Lingxi’s neck, lowered her eyes and said softly, “Keep away your tears and save them for the king to taste at the wedding night.”
“I didn’t cry.”
Yu Lingxi took a deep breath and looked up, her almond-shaped eyes glistening with fragments of light.
Ning Yin raised her fingers and rubbed the corners of her reddish eyes, and said slowly: “Tomorrow, I will pick you up.”
This time, he really took her home.
their home.
Yu Lingxi walked through the lively courtyard, her eyes full of red silk and happy characters.
Back in the boudoir, it was also decorated completely new, with pairs of wedding candles on the table, bright red window grilles and happy words on the window sash, and rich dowry piled up on the ground.
On the wooden shelf in the middle, hung a set of auspicious clothes embroidered in red and gold. The phoenix crown and hairpin decorations were lined up in a row, dazzling, many times higher than the previous sloppy wedding gift. The ultimate treasure.
Yu Lingxi stretched out her hand to caress the delicate cloud patterns on the Fujiang red dress, and the corner of her mouth could not help but draw a small smile.
This is the real wedding dress she has been waiting for for two lifetimes.
After lunch, a nanny from the palace came to explain to Yu Lingxi the process of the wedding banquet and the things to pay attention to.
When everything was arranged properly, it was already sunset and dusk.
Yu Lingxi was so tired that she couldn’t lift a finger, but she was still excited, wishing that tomorrow would come sooner.
She was sitting on the couch taking a nap, looking at the beautiful wedding dress in the room, she was fascinated, and then she saw Hu Tao walking quickly, she hesitated to say: “Miss…”
Yu Lingxi came back to her senses and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Hu Tao hesitated for a while, then replied: “Second Master Xue is here, and he said that he… has something for you.”
Yu Lingxi paused, and the smile in her eyes faded.
“Where is he?” Yu Lingxi asked.
“There are people coming and going, the servant is afraid that others will see and spread some bad rumors, so I invite him to sit in the waterside pavilion first.”
Hu Tao asked in a low voice, “Miss, do you want this servant to send him away?”
Yu Lingxi lowered her slender eyelashes, looked at the tea leaves floating in the cup, and thought for a long time.
“No need.”
She put down the cup and said, “Go and tell brother…”
Whispering a few instructions, Yu Lingxi got up and went out, heading towards the waterside pavilion.
It was cold in spring, and the setting sun slanted on the flat surface of the pool without any waves.
Standing at the end of the trestle bridge, Yu Lingxi saw the moon-white shadow standing in the water pavilion at a glance.
There was also a strange boy standing in the water pavilion.
On the stone table in the middle, there is a pair of exquisitely packaged glass wine glasses and a jug of sake.
Hearing the sound of lightly approaching footsteps, Xue Cen paused, and Fang turned around.
The four eyes met, he was obviously thinner, and there was a residual melancholy in the warm eyebrows, which was a bit like the last time we met in the previous life.
“Second sister…”
Realizing that the address was inappropriate, his Adam’s apple twitched, and he changed his words with a smile, “I heard that the second girl is very happy on her wedding, and she came to congratulate her with a special gift.”
