Chapter 150: Marriage Day 01
The inside and outside of the Hou Mansion is already covered in red. Whether it is real joy or fake happiness, at least the inside and outside of the Hou Mansion is full of joy.
The lights in the Danxia Courtyard were brightly lit, and the red lanterns hung down in strings, and the door was bright red.
The maids all changed into beaming red. Several happy girls surrounded Gu Yuqi, washing and dressing up for her.
Gu Yuqi sat on the pear wood stool like a wooden sculpture, with no joy or sadness on her face, she was like a doll at the mercy of others, when someone called her, she moved, and she sat down without asking her.
She went to see her mother, and she still slept peacefully. His Royal Highness Prince An specially appointed someone to protect her. It was said that she was the elder of the Dark Pavilion.
When she got married in the previous life, her mother had already died. And now it is like this.
Even in her two lifetimes, the mother has not been able to see how beautiful her daughter is when she is married.
The Hou Mansion was attacked by bandits. In order not to lose face in front of Prince An, Gu Huaizhong gritted his teeth and sold the two houses. Gathered some silver taels to buy a dowry that was not too ugly. The two villages seemed to have dug out Liu Yue's heart, and she suffered for several days.
She also wanted to tell Gu Huaizhong that Gu Yuqi was nothing but a side concubine, and she was just so-so. Helpless, Gu Huaizhong was someone who wanted face, and since Concubine Zheng was from the Xia family, Gu Huaizhong thought that he couldn't be much worse than others. Just stayed low.
Gu Yuqi's wedding dress and face are all new. Because she is a side concubine, she can't wear red, so her wedding dress is vermilion. Gu Yuqi herself doesn't like embroidery. The wedding dress is only symbolically decorated with some red coral beads, which looks very plain.
She is a side concubine and can't wear a phoenix crown. She just wears a small phoenix hairpin on the side of her bun, and the whole person is dressed up. Even though she was shining brightly, she couldn't tell she was a bride. It's just a little more grand than her usual dress.
Gu Yuqi looked at herself in the mirror, laughed at herself, and let Xi Niang cover her with a red hijab.
The side concubine kept everything simple, there were no dragons and phoenixes or mandarin ducks on the hijab, only one rich and noble begonia, which was considered a little flower.
Today, Prince An is overjoyed. At the same time, he married the two princesses on the front side and entered the mansion. The always low-key Prince An's mansion is rarely high-profile. The long street in front of Prince An's mansion is full of red lanterns, and the scarlet carpet has been running from the entrance of the mansion. Shop to the end of the street. From time to time, the maids of the palace would come out with small baskets to sprinkle candy, causing the children all over the street to be laughing all the time. It was really a lively scene.
Follow the rules. His Royal Highness Prince An should go directly to Anle Hou Xia's house to meet his concubine Xia Ying.
However, Prince An's horse team set out from the palace, and before they reached the Xia family, an accident happened in front of the Xia family's door.
A teenager in plain clothes quietly approached the door of Xia's house, and when the door was very lively, he approached Xia Shuang City, which was welcoming guests in front of the door.
The boy's eyebrows were picturesque, but he was full of endless anger. His slender arms were raised, and a cold light flashed in his hands. He heard a pop, and then Xia Shuangcheng fell into a pool of blood with a scream. A dagger slashed a long gap in his back, blood splashed, and sprinkled little by little on the stone lion in front of the Xia Mansion gate. The young man didn't seem to want to kill him, he just wanted him to suffer, so the scars he got were very long, almost from the vest to the waist, the blood flowed out quickly, and penetrated Xia Shuangcheng's clothes.
The Xia family suddenly became a mess. After the young man scratched Xia Shuangcheng, he didn't run or avoid it, but threw the knife aside and laughed, looking like he was crazy.
Xia Yan was immediately panicked, and while letting the injured Xia Shuangcheng be carried in, he ordered the young man in white to be arrested.
The slender arm of the young man was pinched by a group of ferocious servants, but he still did not lower his head, "I come from the Ping An Uncle's Mansion, and I have a great reputation. take me!"
The young man's self-reporting of his family's house surprised the housekeepers. A brick from the sky in this capital may kill a noble person. After this young man hurts someone, he won't call or run away. The servants beside Xia Shuangcheng recognized the young man, and immediately let go of his hand, this... This is clearly the one who had been snatched from the other courtyard by his own son a few days ago.
When it's over, people come to settle the bill... The servants all watch one by one, and when they see someone let go, the others also hesitate to follow their subordinates to let go.
"Nonsense! Where is the wicked person, dare to hurt my son! Come on, kill him!" Xia Yan was so angry that he was about to turn his back, and Prince An's wedding party was about to arrive. This kind of incident happened here. , and his son has been stabbed with a knife now, and his life and death are unknown. How can he still have the mind to marry his daughter!
"I see who dares to do it!" The young man broke free from the servant and took out a token from his waist. Xia Yan looked at it and saw that my darling is a jade pendant from the palace of the eldest princess.
To her uncle's old widow!
The jade pendant in the palace of the eldest princess is not properly put away, why is it messing around with people!
Since the Gengzi Rebellion, the contents of the Princess Chang's mansion have become more valuable. Only after the royal princess handed over the Princess decree did Prince An mobilize the garrison troops in the capital to relieve the siege of the capital. Now who doesn't know what the capital is? The middle emperor is the eldest, the eldest princess is the second child, what kind of queen, all the concubines stand aside, no matter how much you kiss, you can't compare to other brothers and sisters!
Although the young man was holding the jade pendant of the princess' residence, which was not as precious as the princess's lingjin, it was no small matter to see the jade pendant like a princess in person.
"If I hurt your son, I'll explain it myself, but now I'm here with the long jade pendant to take your son to see the driver in front of the imperial court!" The boy's eyebrows were awe-inspiring.
Ah, what is this called!
How the eldest princess Yupei ran into the hands of the young man, Xia Yan has no brains to think about. In the area of Gyeonggi, seeing the eldest princess Yupei like seeing the eldest princess in person, he will take the eldest princess Yupei and take his son away, that's fine. of.
It's just that the son is already injured, how could he go with him. But the eldest princess Yupei is not fake, Xia Yan has now become an ant on a hot pot, a mess. This young man obviously hurt his son, but he couldn't move people to grab people, and now he is being blackmailed.
"Master Hou Hou Ye!" A servant of the Xia Mansion ran over and knelt in front of Xia Yan.
Xia Yan fixed his eyes and saw that this was the servant he sent to the street to watch the wind. As soon as Prince An's welcome horse team arrived, he immediately ordered a cannonball to notify this side, and this side was ready to prepare.
"What's wrong?" Xia Yan stomped.
"Prince An's horse team has already reached the street, but they won't move forward." The family ran out of breath.
"Why!" Xia Yan asked angrily, thinking that he didn't burn incense this morning.
"King Anqing heard that there was blood in front of the Xia Mansion, saying it was unlucky, so he changed his route to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion! He seemed very angry and wanted to let our mansion figure it out for himself!" The family member hurriedly said, saying After wiping the sweat off his face, he ran all the way just now, almost flying away his soul.
"Alas!" Xia Yan sighed heavily, and a mouthful of old blood could not wait to spit out. What the **** is he called! It was Xia Ying's great day! But it got to this point. Well, now even Prince An hates that his door is stained with blood, so he refuses to come to pick up his daughter.
What can he say? What can he do!
It's obvious that his daughter is the protagonist of today's wedding, but he was disturbed by the boy who didn't know where he came from. Now that he is better, not only has he touched the mold, but he has also seen blood. It is reasonable for His Royal Highness Prince An to refuse to come to the door. , Xia Yan just wanted to go to His Majesty to reason, but he couldn't come up with a reason.
"Master Hou, what are we going to do now?" Jiading glanced at the crowd watching the excitement and wiped off his sweat secretly.
Today, the face of the Marquis of Anle was completely lost.
"What else can I do?" Seeing the current situation, Xia Yan's scalp was numb, and he was rubbing his hands and stomping his feet, but the white-clothed boy insisted that he would take Xia Shuangcheng to the imperial court to file a complaint.
Xia Ying, who was waiting to board the sedan chair in the Xiu Pavilion, heard a burst of commotion in the house, and hurriedly sent her personal maid to inquire about the situation.
The little maid ran out, and ran back not long after she was panicked. When she told Xia Ying about the situation outside, Xia Ying's pretty face suddenly lost its color.
She took a deep breath, stabilized her mind, and looked at a grandma in a red gown standing beside her.
"Mother Li, this situation..." She lowered her voice and asked humbly.
"Miss, don't panic." Li Mama bowed her body and gave a salute, and said in an orderly manner, "Today is Miss's big day, and everyone in the capital knows that our young lady is Prince An's concubine. Missing is still the concubine of Prince An's mansion. These are all accidents, no wonder miss. The auspicious time can't be mistaken. If we fall behind the Dingyuan mansion, it will be a real loss. "
"Mammy said yes." Xia Ying finally settled down, still sitting on the embroidered bed.
As expected of her aunt sent from the palace, her knowledge and bearing should not be underestimated.
"Ying'er." Madam Xia hurriedly ran back from the front hall and hurriedly crashed into her daughter's room. "Something is bad!"
"Don't be nervous, mother." Xia Ying said slowly, "My daughter already knows what's going on outside."
Mrs. Xia, who was planning to vomit bitterness with her daughter, was slightly startled when she heard the words, "You know what?" She heard that her son was injured just now, and she was so frightened that she lost her soul. Although the wound was scary, it was only a skin injury. But now the teenagers outside are really annoying.
But these can be put aside for a while, what about entering the palace to see the car, even if you see the car, what can you do? The emperor is Xia Shuangcheng's uncle!
These Mrs. Xia are not worried, but what makes her panic is that Prince An is not going to Xia Mansion to pick up the marriage now!
