On the desk, on the armchair, and on the floor, there are all opened scrolls of paintings. Bai Yao is holding a painting in his hand, and he is no longer alone in the painting. Instead, he and Xiao Huai'an were standing side by side, both of them wearing exquisite red dresses.
Bai Yao wiped her tears with one hand, held up the painting with the other, and asked Xiao Huaian, "What's the matter with this one? Why are you extra?"
Xiao Huaian was taken aback by the question, then smiled, and tapped Bai Yao's forehead with his slender fingers.
He took the painting in Bai Yao's hand and put it on the table, wrapped his left hand around Bai Yao's waist and brought her into his arms, took Bai Yao's hand away with his right hand, and gently wiped away Bai Yao's tears.
"Why are you still crying? I gave you these to make you happy, not to make you cry."
Xiao Huaian's fingertips were a bit cold, and it was very comfortable to rub on his warm face and eye sockets. Bai Yao raised her big watery eyes to look at him, and asked with a little complacency in her tone.
"Junzhu, tell me the truth, did you fall in love with me the first time you saw me?"
"Finally smart for once." Xiao Huaian smiled and scratched the tip of Bai Yao's nose, and said, "I fell in love at first sight with a heroic little guy who saved the cat, but that little guy has been foolishly unresponsive. For a long time."
These words are so sweet to Bai Yao's heart, and it also makes Bai Yao feel unbelievable. Love at first sight, such an excellent Xiao Huai'an would fall in love with him at first sight? It's unbelievable!
Bai Yao covered her mouth, her big apricot core eyes were wide open, she looked at Xiao Huai'an in surprise, like a cat who saw something new, it was so cute.
"Don't believe me?" Xiao Huaian could tell what Bai Yao was thinking at a glance.
Bai Yao nodded obediently.
"Speaking of which, I don't believe that I will fall in love with anyone at first sight."
Xiao Huai'an's brows and eyes were crooked when he rarely smiled, and there was a sigh in his tone that was difficult to wipe. He took Bai Yao's hand that was covering his face, and gently looked at Bai Yao's bright eyes that seemed to be full of stars.
"Actually, these paintings are not the gift I want to give you the most today. I have prepared another gift, and I don't know if you would like to accept it." Xiao Huaian smiled and looked at Bai Yao who tilted her head suspiciously. appearance.
"Did you see the date on the painting just now?"
Bai Yao nodded, the fifteenth day of the fourth lunar month in Xuanwen year, half a month later.
"This is the day of our wedding." Xiao Huaian dropped the big news in the most gentle tone.
Bai Yao opened her mouth in shock, and repeated in a murmur, "Big, big wedding? Are we married?"
"Yes, it's our wedding. The baby won't blame me for arbitrarily setting the date." Xiao Huaian looked at Bai Yao tenderly. He had already started preparing for this long-delayed wedding after the funeral .
This wedding almost became a knot in his heart, and it dragged on for four years. Therefore, he deliberately started preparations half a year in advance to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
It was just something that was supposed to be a surprise, why doesn't Bai Yao look very happy now?
"Baby? Are you unhappy?" Xiao Huaian panicked visibly with the naked eye.
Bai Yao pursed her lips and shook her head. In fact, as early as the second year when Xiao Huai'an became the regent, he had already given up the idea of marrying Xiao Huai'an and then announcing it to the world.
He was afraid of becoming Xiao Huai'an's weakness on the bright side. After all, the Regent and Yong'an King sound similar.
But the power in his hands is very different. He is content with the status quo, and feels that it doesn't matter whether the wedding is a wedding or not.
However, now Xiao Huai'an has made all the preparations for the marriage by himself. He was happy, even ecstatic.
"No, I'm very happy. It's just that I'm afraid it will be bad for you." After all, he had already given up the throne for himself.
"Junzhu, you are the regent now, and you have a male concubine, isn't it good?" Bai Yao lowered her head, her long eyelashes drooping, and her tone was hesitant.
Xiao Huaian's heart was shaken, and there was some indescribable sadness and bitterness. Bai Yao has been thinking about him silently all the time, she is so obedient that it makes people feel distressed.
Xiao Huaian half knelt down, held Bai Yao's hands, looked up into Bai Yao's eyes, and spoke in a low and deep voice.
"When I was young, when my mother and concubine were forced to death by powerful people, I thought that one day I would hold the highest power in my hands, so that the people I protected would not be bullied or swayed by others. Over the years, I’ve always been running for the top position.”
"It wasn't until later that I found that I couldn't let you stir into the palace that hides the dirt, and I couldn't even guarantee that I could protect you well."
"I don't want you to be trapped in the palace, stained with filth, and become insensitive. But in the final analysis, I am still selfish. I don't want you to bear the name of our love after becoming a queen. I don't want Marry another woman to continue the heir, and even don't want to adopt the offspring's child to inherit the great line."
"I am even more unwilling to give up this monstrous power, so I selfishly gave up the throne."
"Yaoyao, the princess regent can be male, but the world will only say that the prince regent of Great Chu, Xiao Huai'an, is playing with power, deviant, unruly, and maverick."
"I don't care what others say about me, I just know that I don't want to part with this monstrous power, and I also don't want to part with you. I want this imperial power and wealth! I want you Baiyao too!"
This is probably Xiao Huai'an's rare confession, telling Bai Yao exactly what he thinks in his heart.
Xiao Huai'an who said these words was also a little apprehensive, he had always been gentle and modest in front of Bai Yao, and he thought it was rare for him to be so domineering, and he was afraid that Bai Yao would not be able to accept it for a while.
Bai Yao was stunned for a moment, then relieved. Xiao Huai'an, who is on the cusp of the storm, can be so firm. As a person who has been protected by Xiao Huai'an all this time, what right does he have to think about things and be afraid?
"Jun Zhu, marrying you and being your princess has always been Bai Yao's wish." Bai Yao knelt down, held Xiao Huai'an's face in both hands, and kissed Xiao Huai'an's lips reverently.
Xiao Huai'an was taken aback by the kiss, until there was a softness in his mouth that didn't belong to him, then he came back to his senses, hugged Bai Yao, and regained the initiative.
The warm light in the spring afternoon casts the shadows of the people hugging each other on the wall, and the cuddling figures are like mandarin ducks crossing their necks.
As soon as April arrives, Lujing is bustling like never before. Da'an, Tianlan, and Dongli, the allies who had a good relationship with Dachu, were all led by their royal families to attend the wedding banquet one after another.
Even Yue Shu, the foreign lord who has never cared about world affairs, came to Lujing with his other half, not to mention some small countries around Da Chu who wanted to curry favor with Da Chu and seek some benefits.
Originally, according to the customs of Da Chu, the two parties who are going to get married cannot meet one month before the wedding.
Xiao Huaian panicked when he didn't see Bai Yao for a day, so he had to get Bai Yao's news from the shadow guard all the time. How can I bear not seeing Bai Yao for a month?
Fortunately, he didn't care about Babao Qixi's persuasive persuasion by the elders, even if they didn't let them go, they still slept together every day.
Babao Qixi persuaded her for a few days, but found that her words were in vain, the two old eunuchs looked at each other, and decided that His Royal Highness should do what he likes, and they can't control it anymore.
Fifteen time passed in a flash, and Bai Yao was dragged out of bed by Da Man and Xiao Man to dress up before dawn.
He didn't sleep well last night, because he really couldn't leave the palace in the morning of his wedding, so he went back to the Marquis Jiawen's mansion, which he had built a long time ago but had never lived in.
I don't know if it's the choice of bed, or because there is no warm body temperature around him to reassure him, or because he is too nervous about the big wedding tomorrow.
He tossed and turned on the brand new yellow pear wood bed for most of the night, and when he finally fell asleep in a daze, he was woken up by two people, Daman and Xiaoman.
Bai Yao stood in front of the mercury secret mirror made by Tianlan, which was one person tall, and let Daman and Xiaoman put on wedding clothes and accessories on her body.
He looked at the delicate young man in the mirror in a daze almost the whole time. He was put on a middle coat embroidered with auspicious clouds in gold silk, and then a brocade suit with a slightly cumbersome and gorgeous unicorn pattern.
A palm-wide girdle surrounds the slender waist, and accessories such as a sachet, pouch, jade pendant, etc. are hung. Afterwards, she put on a South China sea red gauze, pulled up half of her hair, put on a golden crown inlaid with red coral and rubies, and combed the rest of the loose long hair, and the dress was finally completed.
For a moment, Bai Yao felt that the delicate young man in luxurious and happy clothes in the mirror was two different people from herself.
He stretched out his hand in a daze, and the person in the mirror also stretched out his hand, and his fingertips touched the cold mirror surface, and finally confirmed that this was himself. He was going to marry Xiao Huaian, and this was not a dream.
"My God, our young master's outfit is too good-looking!" Xiao Man held the vanity box, his eyes wished to be glued to Bai Yao's body, "We should wear red more on weekdays."
The little eunuch next to Xiaoman was holding the jewelry box, Ping An, and when he heard Xiaoman boasted, he also praised him: "Master must be the most beautiful groom in Dachu."
Ping'an was the little eunuch Xiao Huaian rescued from Concubine Rou, and Babao followed Bai Yao after taking her for a few days.
Da Man put the last bit of rouge on Bai Yao's face to brighten her complexion, stepped back a few steps, carefully examined the light makeup on Bai Yao's face, and nodded in satisfaction after confirming that Bai Yao looked glamorous.
"From now on, we can finally be called Wangfei legitimately." Daman's eyes were a little wet, and he felt a little emotional.
It has been five years since Bai Yao came to Yong'an Palace. During these five years of ups and downs, Daman also watched the two masters come all the way. The two have also experienced life and death, and now they can finally achieve the right result. It is really not easy.
Just as Bai Yao was about to speak, she was interrupted by a knock on the door, and Shuang Jiang's icy voice came from outside the door.
"Has the young master packed up? The auspicious time has come, and the master has arrived at the door and is urging."
"Okay, okay! Here we come!" Xiao Man said loudly, pushing Xiao Pingan to the side, and walking out while supporting Bai Yao's arms from left to right.
The door opened, and Bai Yao saw Shuang Jiang standing at the door, only to realize that the Shadow Guard who used to be dressed in black had changed the black into red, and removed his mask.
"Congratulations on the wedding of the young master and the master." Shuang Jiang always said few words, and after finishing his auspicious words, he strode ahead to lead the way.
Bai Yao walked through the festively decorated Marquis Mansion which he had never lived in, but which belonged to him. All the way to the gate, I saw Xiao Huai'an surrounded by the crowd at the front.
Xiao Huaian's wedding dress was the same style as Bai Yao's, except that the unicorn pattern was replaced by a dragon pattern, the red shark gauze was replaced by black shark gauze, and the girdle was narrowed by half.
It was only then that Bai Yao discovered that the two sets of wedding clothes were exactly the same as those in the painting.
What he didn't know was that the styles and patterns of these two sets of wedding clothes were drawn by Xiao Huai'an himself, and the preparations began two years ago.
I don't know who shouted that the bridegroom official is coming, Xiao Huai'an, who was chatting with Da'an Shouwang next to him, turned his head all of a sudden.
With just one glance, Xiao Huaian froze in place. His Bai Yao was dressed in a bright and colorful wedding dress, and his appearance was astonishing as if he were a fairy in the sky.
Between moonlight and snow, he is the third most beautiful in the world.
Unique to him.
He immediately came back to his senses, showed an extremely gentle smile, and strode towards his groom.
There were booing sounds behind him, Xiao Huaian didn't care at all, he couldn't wait for Bai Yao to come to him.
Holding Bai Yao's hand, Xiao Huaian said softly, "Baby, you are finally going to be my princess."
Bai Yao raised her head, her nervous and uneasy heart calmed down at this moment when Xiao Huaian held her. Only then did all this have a sense of reality, his brows and eyes were curved, and he said the most touching words of love.
"Didn't I belong to Junzhu long ago?"
"Oh." Xiao Huaian was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and laughed, "Yes! The baby has always been mine." He leaned over and hugged Bai Yao, and walked outside.
The people outside the door included princes, princes and envoys from various countries, as well as ministers from the Great Chu, all of whom were taken aback by Xiao Huaian's actions.
In Dachu, the groom only needs to lead the bride to the sedan chair or horse from the gate of her mother's house. This is the first one to go directly to her mother's house and carry someone out.
If it is true as rumored, Marquis Jiawen is the Prince Regent's favorite.
Xiao Huaian put Bai Yao on Bai Gap, got on a horse with all black hair, and started a mighty parade through the streets.
Because they are men, and the folk customs of Dachu are open, most of the two men will choose to ride horses and parade through the streets when they get married.
And Xiao Huai'an was naturally unwilling to wrong Bai Yao a little bit, it can be seen from the fact that the wedding clothes are only different in a few details, but the rest are the same. Youjie also wants to give Bai Yao his favorite horse to ride, and himself to ride Xiao Huaiyu's war horse.
The team behind them is also extremely huge, and Bai Yao's dowry can be described as red makeup. In fact, it was more than ten miles. Emperor Yuanhe left a lot of things for Bai Yao, and Xiao Huaian also bought a lot of things.
Bai Yao has lost her family, Xiao Huaian will not let this become a point that some people ridicule Bai Yao, he wants Bai Yao to be the envy of the world.
The happy money sprinkled along with the team all the way, almost like a rain of happy money in Lujing. Almost all the people in Lujing came out of their homes to watch the regent's wedding, and they were all stunned when they saw the endless lineup.
After the street tour, it's time to pay homage. Xiao Huai'an's identity as the regent is there, no one dares to sit in the high hall, even the Buddha's son Yuan Ren and the little emperor Xuanwen just watched the ceremony from the sidelines.
One bows to heaven and earth, two bows to high hall, husband and wife worship each other.
Knocking their heads together on the ground, Bai Yao and Xiao Huai'an both smiled when they looked up, they were each other's husbands at this moment, nothing could separate them except life and death.
After the toast, Xiao Huai'an didn't go, and directly threw Xiao Huaiyu down to deal with him. While dealing with the princes and princes of various countries, Xiao Huaiyu secretly scolded his brother for being rude, and he would not have a brother if he had a wife.
The bedroom that I used to live in on weekdays has changed. The big red characters for happiness can be seen everywhere, the wedding candles in pairs, and the big red embroidered dragon and phoenix presenting auspicious happiness quilts.
Da Man played the role of Xi Po, throwing things like longan and peanuts at Bai Yao and Xiao Huai'an who were sitting on the bed, saying auspicious words about a century-old marriage while throwing them.
Xiao Huai'an was about to be bullied. Since he was ten years old, he had never been "bullied" like this before. After this link, it's time to join the wine.
Daman was holding a gold tray with two jade wine cups on it, "We will be together in the same prison, and we will sleep together with our hair tied together. Please, the prince and concubine, drink the wine."
Xiao Huaian and Bai Yao picked up a wine glass, wrapped their arms around each other, leaned their heads together, and drank the wine.
Daman couldn't hold back the smile on his face, he thought it was great to take Xipo's job, who would see such a scene in normal times?
She knelt down and congratulated: "I wish the prince and the princess will be united forever and have a happy marriage for a hundred years."
"Go down and receive the reward." Xiao Huai'an smiled and waved his hands, not wanting Daman to be an eyesore.
"Thank you, master." Daman ran out almost with ease, the wedding night in the bridal chamber, this is a big day, she must not delay the time.
Only Xiao Huai'an and Bai Yao were left in the bedroom, at this moment Bai Yao felt a little shy, the excitement of the day and the glass of wine made Bai Yao more courageous.
He took the initiative to sit on Xiao Huai'an's lap, kissed the corner of Xiao Huai'an's mouth, smelled the familiar aloe fragrance from Xiao Huai'an's body, and said with a smile: "Junzhu, this day is really like a dream."
"Dream?" Xiao Huaian also laughed, clasping the back of Bai Yao's head with his big palm, deepening the shallow kiss just now, after a while, he felt that Bai Yao would not be able to breathe before letting go of the person in his arms.
Gently rubbing the water on the red lips with his thumb, his voice was low and gentle, "What about now? Is it still a dream?"
Bai Yao Xinghe's eyes were covered with mist, his eyes were full of obsessive love that he would not show normally, he held Xiao Huaian's face in both hands, and uttered words of love from his red lips.
"I want to get to know you..."
"Longevity is endless." Xiao Huaian continued the next sentence softly. He hugged Bai Yao into his arms, put his chin on Bai Yao's shoulder, and said softly: "Yaoyao, it was me who met you." The greatest blessing in Xiao Huai'an's life."
