Retreat, Retreat, Retreat!
Chapter 55: Bridal chamber
After recuperating for ten days, it was the Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye.
There was a light snowfall during the day, and in the evening it was snowy, and a thin layer of white had accumulated on the ground, reflecting the ten-mile-long street like a sea of lights, and it was as beautiful as the sky.
In the East Factory, Yu Kou wore a wedding gown, and a phoenix crown presented by Xiao Changning. With exquisite makeup, under the witness of Xiao Changning and Shen Xuan, Yu Kou worshipped Shen Qi's spiritual position.
The young and charming bride worships heaven and earth three times, but the position of the bridegroom official is only a cold spiritual position. This is probably the poorest wedding banquet in the world.
Shen Qi’s wedding gown was sewn by Yu Kou herself. The one Shen Qi rushed to make six years ago was not blessed to wear, and she made a new one: take pine-blue brocade according to folk customs, cut it into a garment, and have a bosom. The former is a white gold silk thread embroidered bird picture, a black jade belt, every stitch and thread are so exquisite... If Shen Qi can wear it, it must be a rare handsome man in the capital.
Yu Kou cremated the wedding gown embroidered by herself, and the light of the fire jumping in the charcoal basin was reflected in her eyes, glowing with sparkling water. For a long time, she staggered up, held up a glass of wine and respected Shen Xuan, her eyes were wet and red, and she whispered, "Brother."
She waited for this moment for six years, waiting for life and death, so that the word "brother" was not even uttered, and tears flowed first.
Shen Xuan silently accepted her gift, drank all the wine, and slammed the cup and said, "It is his blessing that Ah Qi can meet you."
But Yu Kou met Ah Qi, but it was her misfortune.
Yu Kou smiled, "Unfortunately, this blessing is too thin."
After that, she lifted her sleeves to wipe away the tears, and then took a second glass of wine to respect Xiao Changning, and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness Princess."
Xiao Changning drank the wine, smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, you should call my sister-in-law."
Yu Kou lowered her eyelashes, and the wet red and rouge at the end of her eyes merged together. She showed a very shallow smile and said warmly, "Even if Ah Qi is still alive, she dare not call it that way."
This marriage ceremony is special, because one party is the deceased, there is no firecrackers, no joy, only the lotus lanterns of the Lantern Festival illuminate this city that never sleeps, quiet and heartbreaking.
Yu Kou, dressed in a wedding dress, was alone, looking around, scanning the night sky little by little, across the sea of lights, across the dark blue eaves in the distance, as if she was making the last souvenir.
"Since you have become A Qi's person, don't do stupid things." Shen Xuan seemed to see her determination and said solemnly, "If A Qiquan knows about it, I don't want you to go to Huangquan early to find him. How can I get on the bridge? For ten years, he can afford to wait."
No matter how many decades on the bridge, he can afford to wait.
Hearing this sentence, Yu Kou bit her lip and covered her eyes suddenly, tears slid down between her fingers, dripping dust. After six years of cautiousness, suppressing his hatred and serving his enemies, the dead are gone, but the pain is left to the living survivors.
Had it not been for Shen Xuan's words, Xiao Changning had never expected that Yu Kou had planned to die.
She moved in her heart and took Yu Kou's hand and sighed: "You might as well take Ah Qi out for a walk, and use your eyes to witness the mountains and rivers beyond Miyagi, how about?"
Yu Kou's eyes were red, not as indifferently as in the past, so he couldn't speak. After a while, she raised her head as if determined, wiped her tears and said: "Okay, Your Highness."
Shen Xuan bought Yu Kou a secluded house in the capital, but Yu Kou declined in every possible way and did not accept it. She was ready to travel everywhere, and only waited for the new year to pass, and then packed her things and went out of the palace.
When Yu Kou was sent away, it was already late, and fireworks ignited outside the palace, clusters of flowers blooming, illuminating the night sky strangely.
Wu Youfu has cooked a big pot of Eight Treasure Lantern Festival, and the blue cloth apron on his body has not been taken off. He is waving the big pot and spoon to the Shenxuan and his wife and calling: "The factory superintendent, your Royal Highness Princess, everyone is waiting for you to come together. Eat Yuanxiao."
Shen Xuan nodded to indicate that she had heard it, and reached out to hold Xiao Changning's slender hand.
After standing in the night breeze for a long time, Xiao Changning’s fingertips were slightly cold, and Shen Xuan frowned, unwrapped her cloak and wrapped it around her shoulders, and tied her tie intimately, tied a knot, and then pulled it again. She said: "Eight Treasure Lantern Festival is Wu Youfu's specialty, go try it."
A warm feeling surged from his fingertips, and the sadness that Xiao Changning had just aroused by Yu Kou gradually disappeared. He squinted and smiled: "Okay."
There were five tables in the main hall. Xiao Changning and Shen Xuan sat on the seats. There were two rows on the left and right below, and the four chief officers of the factory sat. Seeing them coming in, the four chief officers all stood up and clasped their fists, and respectfully said: "See the factory superintendent and your Royal Highness the princess."
"Sit." Shen Xu said, "Today, you don't have to be cautious."
Having said that, the two masters did not move the chopsticks, and none of the people below dared to do it first. They could only look at the steaming Lantern Festival in sweet-scented osmanthus water and swallow drooling.
The so-called Eight Treasure Lantern Festival is the eight colors: red of amaranth juice, orange of pumpkin, yellow of sweet potato, green and blue of vegetable juice, original white, and purple of purple sweet potato, and glutinous rice mixed with ingredients of eight colors. Dough made of flour, plus eight flavor fillings: lotus paste, brown sugar, rose, bean paste, nuts, jujube puree, sesame, hawthorn, bright color, rich taste, but because it takes time and effort, very few people can make it This dish.
Lin Huan stared at the eight-color Lantern Festival in the bowl, and from time to time he leaned in to smell the scent. The greedy worms were aroused and looked restless, and he couldn't help swallowing.
Maybe it was Lin Huan's well-behaved, who always reminded people of the dead Shen Qi. Shen Xuan took him extra care, so she raised her chopsticks and said, "Eat."
The people below, like a pardon, began to eat. Lin Huan was injured in one arm, which was quite inconvenient. The Lantern Festival was so slippery that he couldn't pick it up, so he simply ate it with chopsticks, but he was so impatient that he burned his tongue and breathed out with his mouth open.
Xiao Changning also picked a purple Lantern Festival and took a bite: it is filled with black sesame seeds, the filling is smooth, sweet and delicious!
A bowl of eight Yuanxiao, she quickly finished eating, her belly was very warm, and she still had some feelings, so she took her eyes to glance at the bowl in Shenxuan.
Shen Xuan seemed to see what she was thinking, she put aside the bowl and chopsticks and said, "If you eat too much Lantern Festival, you will have abdominal distension. Don't eat too much."
Xiao Changning licked his lips, begging a bit, "Eat one more."
She blinked, her eyelashes trembling like butterfly wings, her lips glowing with the luster of sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus, fresh and attractive.
Shen Xuan stared at her for a long time, and the fireworks outside the window were reflected in her eyes. Xiao Changning was a little inexplicable. He stared in a panic, thinking that he did not agree, so he lowered his head and stirred the soup in a muffled voice.
The next moment, a fat and white Lantern Festival fell into his bowl.
Xiao Changning was surprised, and looked up along the hand with distinct joints and veins, and looked into Shen Xuan's rare gentle eyes.
"Only this one, no matter how much it is," Shen Xuan said, "You had a cold as a child, and eating too much is not good for your stomach."
Xiao Changning turned from cloudy to sunny, and smiled openly: "I don't want brown sugar filling, I want to eat hawthorn filling, sour and sour to invigorate the spleen."
Shen Xuan didn't say much, so she patiently scooped her a hawthorn stuffing.
Wu Youfu gathered all this in his eyes, and showed a fatherly smile. Fang Wujing and Jiang She stopped their movements at the same time, and looked at the biren who was showing you and me, and their faces were full of meaning.
Wu Youfu took the lead in opening his mouth, and his eyes became a seam with a smile, and said: "Do you think this year's Lantern Festival is particularly sweet?"
Fang Wujing nodded: "I really feel it!"
Jiang She nodded: "Yeah."
Lin Huan swallowed the last glutinous rice ball in the bowl, smashed it and said solemnly: "I think it's okay, it's the same as in previous years...well, are there any more? I'm not full."
Fang Wujing flicked Lin Huan's forehead with the elegant orchid, hating iron for not making steel: "You melon baby!"
Wu Youfu smiled and said with kind eyebrows: "Go, go out and enjoy the lanterns."
Lin Huan frowned while holding the bowl: "No! I'm not full."
"Go, buy candied haws and you eat!" Fang Wujing dragged him up, and forced him out of the hall, muttering, "Eat, eat, and you know how to eat! If you don’t have any vision, let alone marry a wife, sooner or later. One day he will be expelled from the East Factory by the factory supervisor!"
Jiang She also got up, nodded towards Shenxuan and Xiao Changning, and followed them out.
The bustling hall just now quieted down. Xiao Changning felt as if he was watching a theater, so he couldn't help but sneered, and said to Shen Xi: "Do you know? The second day I just married into Dongchang, I was not careful. I strayed into the Chamber and heard that you were talking about poisons, medicines, skinning and deboning, and so on. I was so scared that I couldn’t eat for a day. I was really scared at that time. I knew you weren’t what the rumors were when I got in touch. It's so three-headed and six-armed, cruel, and terrifying."
Shen Xuan listened quietly, knowingly asking: "Who is most afraid of?"
Xiao Changning laughed, put his head on his shoulder and said, "I am most afraid of you."
Shen Xuan raised her eyebrows, put one hand on her waist, and whispered in her ear: "What about now?"
"Now," Xiao Changning took the opportunity to kiss the corner of his mouth, a person like that, but his lips were soft. Xiao Changning smiled and said, "I like you the most now."
Shen Xuan was obviously pleased by these words, holding her face to deepen the kiss.
For a long time, Shen Xuan stroked her reddish cheeks lovingly, and asked: "It's still early, but should I go out to see the lantern?"
Xiao Changning lives in simple style, rarely goes out of the palace, and is very longing for the folk's annual lantern festival. But on the Lantern Festival, the streets were crowded and too noisy, and the little interest in her heart faded. She only shook her head and leaned in Shen Xuan's arms and said, "The lantern is not as good as you."
Hearing this, Shen Xuan's muscles tightened, and her voice was somewhat deceptively hoarse: "Changning, are you teasing me?"
"Really?" Xiao Changning asked back, "Don't you like it?"
Shen Xuan didn't answer, she just picked up Xiao Changning, her eyes burning and said: "Go back to the room."
"Wait, what are you doing?" Xiao Changning realized that something was wrong, "It's still early!"
"It's too late to regret now. You picked me up first." Shen Xuan raised her mouth, hugged her all the way through the atrium, turned around the corridor, and kicked open the door of the bedroom.
"You are really..." Xiao Changning stopped in the middle of the speech.
The bedroom has obviously been arranged, hung with red silk and satin, and lit red candles with auspicious dragons and phoenixes.
Xiao Changning put his arms around Shen Xuan's neck and looked at him suspiciously, "When did you arrange these?"
"Afternoon." Shen Xu gently put her on the couch.
Xiao Changning panicked when he felt a hard object under his waist, he couldn't help but snorted, reached out his hand in the bedding under his waist, and found out a lacquered sandalwood box.
The box is about the size of a palm, and the carving is extremely delicate. The lid is embedded with a night pearl the size of a dove egg. This box alone can sell for a good price.
Xiao Changning shook the box. He couldn't hear the sound, so he asked, "What is it?"
Shen Xuan opened the box, and a pair of jade bracelets with excellent color were placed on the golden flannel. The bracelets were pine green in color without a trace of impurities. They were warm to the touch, and flowed gently under the red candle light.
"It's for you." Shen Xuan took Xiao Changning's hand gently, and gently smeared her with lubricating frost, and then pushed the bracelet on her wrist. Two pine-green jade bracelets lined her with whiteness and snow. Your skin is naturally luxurious.
Surprised by surprise, Xiao Changning was still a little dazed, shaking the bracelet on his hand and said: "Shen Xu, what are you doing?"
"At the time when you and I were married, the atmosphere was really not very good. This is a pity." Shen Xuan pulled up the back of her scented hand, drew a kiss to her lips, and said with deep eyes, "I know you want to do it again, but wear it. The two wedding dresses are unlucky, so I will arrange these, hoping to compensate you a little."
So moved, Xiao Changning didn't know what to say.
She was happy in her heart, but she didn't show any timidity in her mouth, and muttered: "I think you just want to take this opportunity to re-bridal."
After all, because of her body, the two hadn't had **** for half a month since she first tasted the sex... Shen Xuan's wolf-like temperament must have been unbearable.
Who knows, Shen Xuan just said seriously: "If you want, I can also accompany you to watch the lights for one night and talk for one night."
The lights that stayed all night tonight are indeed beautiful, and Shen Xuan's low and cold voice is indeed sultry when she speaks of love, but the two of them rolled on the couch again before the end of the love story.
Tonight, Xiao Changning slept very deeply, but in the early morning, there was a sudden heart palpitation, and he suddenly woke up.
The sky outside the window was unclear, Shen Xuan was no longer by her side, she reached out her hand to touch, the bedding was already cold, obviously it was a long time since she got up.
Strange, where did he go before he arrived?
Being puzzled, Dong Sui hurriedly came in with a lamp, and was startled to see Xiao Changning sitting on the couch in a daze.
After only a moment of hesitation, Dong Sui put aside the glazed lamp, took up the cloak beside the couch and wrapped it around Xiao Changning, and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness, just now, Admiral Shen took a message from the palace and said it was the waste queen... That's it."
