Chapter 23 first quarter

On the evening of August 12th, Nanhuai City, Nan Palace. The guests on both sides sat opposite each other in silence, all of them were dressed in dark red, which was a positive color, and the wedding dresses of the nobles of the Eastern Land were black silk brocade with a hint of red in it.The newlyweds stood in front of the hall with their sleeves linked. The dim sunlight shone through the panes, casting a pair of slender shadows on the seats.The attendant offered a gourd on a tray, and beside it was a short knife wrapped in white silk.Lu Guichen looked at Bailifu beside him. Bailifu lowered his head and pressed a soft white hand on the handle of the knife. Lu Guichen reached out to hold her hand and grabbed the short knife together.

With a flash of light, the gourd split beautifully in half from the middle. The guests applauded. The attendants held the wine jar again, and Bailijiao and Lu Guichen each took a piece of gourd to taste the wine. The guests applauded again. Lu Guichen silently put the gourd back on the tray, knowing that he would be considered a man with a family.Everything went well at the wedding, and the gourd split cleanly into two full scoops, a good sign.He looked around, there weren't many guests, but they were obviously famous people.The weddings of Donglu nobles are simple and solemn. The guests invited to the wedding hall are all the elders of the family, representing the family and blood relationship.Others can only present gifts and watch the ceremony from a distance of dozens of steps.The old people were stupefied, staring at the front with dizzy eyes. They might not be able to see the face of the newcomer clearly with their dizzy old eyes. Only Bailiyu who was sitting at the last seat blinked at Lu Guichen with a smile on his lips.He is now an upright prince of the Tang Dynasty, but in the huge and strict Baili family, he can only be regarded as a child.Lu Guichen nodded slightly in return, feeling a little strange that the lord Baili Jinghong did not appear among the guests.

The guests got up neatly and retreated one by one.The wedding is over, and the rest is to go to the bridal chamber to perform the grand ceremony between the couple. The huge wedding hall was suddenly empty and there were only a few people left, Lu Guichen turned to look at his new wife.Bailifeng still bowed her head, her long hair was pitch black, and her face was covered with thick powder makeup, so she couldn't see much expression, but her neck, which was as white as snow, was now pitifully red from the collar.Bailiyu did not leave with the elders of the family. This young man who can only play the piano and write poems is dressed in military uniform today, sitting at the entrance of the wedding hall, holding Bailishi's famous family sword "Qingsang".He is a young unmarried man in the family, and he should be responsible for the vigil on the wedding night, holding a sword to keep ghosts and gods from making trouble.Seeing his serious face and not looking sideways, Lu Guichen couldn't help but also wanted to laugh.

The maids came up to salute: "His Royal Highness and Princess Highness please come with me." The two walked side by side along the long path, with red candles on both sides, Bailijia's cheeks were red in the firelight, and his hands trembled slightly.Lu Guichen glanced at her quietly, thinking that the heart of this pampered girl is probably full of anticipation or anxiety right now?Now she is his wife. For a long, long life, he will be with this little girl, eating at the same table, sleeping in each other's embrace, taking care of each other when sick, traveling in the same car in spring, just like this time travel, two people Watching each other grow gray hair, wrinkles, teeth fall out, backs bent day by day, and one day he died, and it was this girl who cried for him, not anyone else.She would lie on his coffin lid and wail, saying why did you leave me so early?What should I do if you leave?Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little pity in his heart, so he gently took her trembling hand.Bailijiao's hand trembled suddenly, then stopped moving, and a warm feeling gradually came from the palm of his hand.Lu Guichen felt that Bailijia's body was getting closer to him, and his arm rubbed lightly against his, and through the silk brocade, he could feel the girl's skin was as delicate as silk.

"Don't be afraid," he said softly. "Actually, I'm also afraid..." He added. After walking a few steps, Lu Guichen heard Bailijiao smiled softly. "Father! Father!" Bailiyu's exclamation suddenly came from outside. Both Lu Guichen and Bailijiao were taken aback, they stopped abruptly, and when they turned around, they saw Baili Jinghong's face.He strode forward with a ferocious expression, the veins on his forehead throbbing, followed by a group of hurried ministers. "The lord can't... the lord can't!" An envoy wanted to pull the lord's sleeve, "It's not the time, it's not the time!"

Baili Jinghong threw him away fiercely, turned around and glared at Lu Guichen: "Do you know, my son, that your elder brother has killed our entire mission in Xiatang, declared that he would break off the alliance with Xiatang, and instead make peace with Chun?" alliance?" Lu Guichen was stunned.It was so sudden that he didn't know how to respond. "I married your most beloved daughter to you, and presented countless fine irons and weapons to the Qingyang Department, and honored you as the honored guest for eight full years in Xia Tang! Is this the reward?" Baili Jinghong's voice became more and more serious. Higher, "I'll give you two choices now!"

"choose?" "First, you are still my son-in-law in the Tang Dynasty. You are the eldest son of Qingyang. You handwritten a document and submitted it to Tianqi City, telling the emperor that you are the master of the barbarians, and your brother is just a robber who seized the throne. I A hundred thousand iron armors in the Tang Dynasty, I will guarantee you to return to Beidu and take back your position, you are the maharaja of Beilu, the master of the grassland! Second!" Baili Jinghong untied the sword around his waist, and slammed it on the ground . There was a dead silence, no one dared to speak.Neither Bailiyu nor the ministers who tried to stop Baili Jinghong dared to say anything in front of the sword, and knelt down tremblingly.Bailifu pressed her forehead, shook it, and fell into the arms of the maid, but no one paid attention to her. Her father stared at her husband with his back turned to her, and her husband quietly looked at the ground. sword.

"Does the lord want me to be a slave in the Tang Dynasty and take me to the battlefield?" Lu Guichen finally raised his head. "Your elder brother came to the throne, how can you be the master?" Baili Jinghong tried his best to hide his anger in a dark tone, "It's just whoever chooses to be his slave!" "Young Master Chen, Young Master Chen! Asule, Asule! There is still room for change, father, father..." Baili Yu couldn't bear it any longer, went up and grabbed his father's sleeve, and shouted loudly . Lu Guichen took a deep breath and let it out lightly towards the red brocade-covered roof.

"Our men in Qingyang will not be anyone's slaves!" He looked into Baili Jinghong's eyes and said word by word. After saying this, he suddenly felt relaxed all over.He suddenly thought of Suma's sister, Longgeqin Uyangma Kusar, the beautiful girl in red dress, and what she said before she died. After so many years, he realized that what she said was really good , let you say it, and you will never regret it in your life.Bailiyu shuddered and sat down softly, his eyes were full of sadness. "Master Yu, thank you for the past few years." Lu Guichen looked into his eyes and said seriously.

He stopped looking at everyone, turned around, turned his back on his wife and his father-in-law, and walked out of his wedding hall slowly.
