635 This life is too late 6
This also represented the marriage between the royal family and a famous family. Shen Lian could also hear what he had not finished saying. However, she also let him down. She was not lonely or sad, but instead expressed her congratulations with a bright smile.
"Your Majesty, you didn't tell me earlier that I would prepare some congratulatory gifts for the new princess. Your Majesty, the gifts you asked people to prepare are all for the prince. But as for the new princess, since I have gone, I must also Prepare something. Now, we don't have enough time, what should we do?" Shen Lian said this deliberately, and he was also perfunctory to the emperor.
The emperor patted her hand gently and said: "My beloved concubine, the most important thing about this gift is that it is your intention, not just whether it is valuable or not. Do you understand?"
Shen Lian nodded, pulled out a golden walking stick from her head, and held it in his hand. "Your Majesty, look, this concubine is sending the new princess, how about this golden walking stick?" He looked at it carefully, and then he was satisfied. nod.
"This golden walking wave is pretty good. My dear wife, I can just give this to the new princess. How about I call someone to find a nice-looking box and put it in it? Wouldn't it be better?"
Shen Lian naturally agreed, and then the carriage stopped for a while, and he ordered someone to get a good box. Then, after a while, a beautiful gift box was brought over. Shen Lian took it smoothly, and the carriage started again, heading towards She walked forward. She put the golden step in the box, packed it, and put it at hand. "When we get to the county prince's palace, I will personally give it to the new princess, but I have to go to the new house."
She couldn't be given to the new princess directly in public. The emperor didn't have any objections to this. Anyway, at that time, Gao Chengxuan could only drink with him at the guest table outside. They couldn't meet alone, he I don't care anymore.
Sure enough, as he said, they were on the road for six days and finally arrived at the border city in the afternoon. Gao Chengxuan led the generals very early and waited for the holy driver at the city gate. Sure enough, when he saw that When a large group of people came, he sneered. With such a good opportunity, the emperor would definitely come, so it would be good to make him feel uncomfortable for a while.
But for him, it is enough to see Xi Wan again. Otherwise, when he returns to the capital, it will only be during the Chinese New Year. In this case, he will not be able to see her for half a year. Now Fortunately, the emperor brought her with him.
They would have to start back to the capital early tomorrow morning at the earliest. He could take this opportunity to take a few more glances, wondering how Xi Wan was doing now. She looked a little haggard, and was she unhappy. When the dragon chase stopped and the curtain was opened by the maid on the side, the first thing he saw was the emperor who was the first to come out.
The emperor got off the carriage neatly, and then stretched out his hand into the carriage. Sure enough, the next moment, a slender hand was placed on his palm, as white as jade. It was her, and soon, Xiwan came out of the carriage. He held the emperor's hand and walked down slowly. Standing next to him, he was dressed in gorgeous clothes and couldn't help but look graceful and elegant.
When they walked side by side, Gao Chengxuan felt bitter and missing in his heart. They had only been apart for a short month, but he felt as if he hadn't seen each other for many years.
When they approached, Gao Chengxuan was the first to bow his head and knelt down on one knee to salute. At the same time, the generals behind him also knelt down to see the emperor. The emperor held Xi Wan's hand in one hand, while the other hand was clasped on his waist. Later, when he saw Gao Chengxuan leading the city's generals and kneeling down to greet them, he just said something casually.
"Plain body."
Shen Lian on the side saw that arrogant attitude and couldn't help but turn his head away. He did it on purpose, so that it would make Gao Chengxuan feel uncomfortable and make him happy, right?
Realizing that the concubine next to him was unhappy, the emperor looked at her again and said, "My concubine, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Yes, you have been traveling for several days and have been in the carriage. No wonder you feel uncomfortable." In front of them, he greeted her politely, and Shen Lian could only say a few perfunctory words. After all, in front of so many people, she couldn't lose her temper and not give him face.
The emperor talked to her for a long time before he looked at Gao Chengxuan who was standing in front of them. Sensing the direction of his gaze, he couldn't help but tighten his grip a little more. "Prince Xuan, congratulations. I express my love specially. The concubine is here to congratulate you on your wedding to the new princess."
Gao Chengxuan just twitched the corner of his mouth with a smile, and then responded respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for coming in person. Please come this way. Please." He has already arranged the emperor's residence tonight. In this city, there is only his palace. , is the best and most comfortable place to live. Therefore, he arranged it in the Wangfu Villa, not far from the main garden.
When he told the emperor his plan, the emperor nodded noncommittally. "Prince Xuan, there are quite a few civil and military officials who came to congratulate you today. You are really honorable. By the way, you have seen the appearance of the new princess. Is that it? The one I have chosen for you is not only from a famous family, but also has first-class appearance and talent. I wonder if you are satisfied?"
Gao Chengxuan subconsciously looked at Xi Wan aside, but he immediately replied. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness and for arranging this marriage. I have not seen the appearance of the new princess, but I think about it, the Emperor said If it’s good, it must be good.”
"Yes, you haven't bowed yet, so naturally you can't enter the new house. It's me and my concubine who delayed your bowing, so let's go over there immediately. Otherwise, it will be bad if we miss this good time. Love. Concubine, you said, is that right?" He looked at Xiwan, who turned her head and just smiled lightly without saying anything.
Shen Lian was not very happy with his constant testing and the two of them. She didn't want to be tested all the time, so she had to be careful to guard against it. However, who made him the emperor? She also She couldn't refute, could she? She said nothing more except silence or nodding. In this way, they arrived at the Prince's Mansion.
As soon as they arrived at the gate of the county prince's palace, the officials who came to congratulate them immediately paid homage to the emperor and her. Then, they went in together, and finally the emperor took her and sat down on the main seat. Anyway, Gao Chengxuan's parents were long gone. .He is the king, so naturally he takes the throne.
So, soon, the bride also arrived, and walked slowly with the help of the girl. In the original plot, Xi Wan did not actually come to attend the wedding. Therefore, she only came after Gao Chengxuan was sentenced to death. When I arrived here, I saw the new princess. In this life, I didn't expect that Shen Lian would see the new princess today.
The bride and groom stood side by side, one was handsome and handsome, the other was petite and lovely, but her appearance could not be seen. After all, the bride was covered with a red gauze. For the first time, Shen Lian sat on the main seat and looked at The goal was to marry someone else. What was so new about this experience was that every time Gao Chengxuan's eyes glanced at her, she could only pretend as if nothing had happened.
After all, the people around her were always looking at her with glaring eyes.
The two of them bowed for the second time together. It had to be said that such a wedding was a bit tiring. Sitting on the main seat, she felt uncomfortable all over, and she had to suppress the pain in her heart. The remaining consciousness in Wan was filled with sadness. How could she be happy when she saw her lover getting married, taking another woman as his wife, and welcoming her into the house.
However, Shen Lian has been reluctantly suppressing her emotional reaction. Otherwise, the beloved concubine beside the majestic emperor would actually look at the newlyweds with frowns on their faces. What the hell is going on.
Finally, this scene was over. The groom first sent the bride back to the room, and then came out to entertain the guests together. Because the emperor was there, those people were a little restrained and couldn't let go. When they sat together at the main table When she got off, I don't know whether it was arranged intentionally or unintentionally. On the other side of her, Gao Chengxuan actually sat down.
Shen Lian felt really unhappy and depressed about this kind of scene. So, she looked at the emperor on the other side and said, "Your Majesty, please go to the new house to find the bride. It's time to send out the congratulatory gift." "
The emperor saw Gao Chengxuan sitting on the other side of her and couldn't help but nodded in agreement. So, Shen Lian left the main table and, led by the maid in the house, walked to the new house at the back. After seeing her leave, the emperor He looked at Gao Chengxuan. "Prince Xuan, my beloved concubine said that she wanted to give a gift to the new princess alone. So, she is going to see the new princess now. What do you think?"
"Of course, that's good. Your Majesty is interested."
What else could Gao Chengxuan do besides say this? Seeing that he was helpless, the emperor felt very happy, so he raised a glass and drank with him. With the emperor taking the lead, others also started to raise their glasses and drink. The wedding banquet really started when they got up. However, with him around, they were still restrained after all.
On Shen Lian's side, she took a maid with her, and then led by the palace maid, went to the new house. They walked around under the corridor, and then came to the door of the new house. The girl went to knock on the door. It indicated that the empress was here. So, someone immediately opened the door from inside and led Shen Lian and others in.
At this moment, in the new house, apart from the bride, there was only the girl who opened the door just now. As soon as Shen Lian walked in, the bride's head was still covered with red gauze, and people had already stood up and saluted her. ."I'm here to see you, your Majesty. Why is your Majesty here?"
Shen Lian waved his hand and asked the others to retreat to the door and stand guard. So, the next moment, there were only two of them in the new room. Xu noticed that the others had retreated, and the new princess took matters into her own hands. The red gauze on her head was taken off. Her appearance was revealed bit by bit under the candlelight. Her eyes were like a pool of clear water, and when she looked around, she had a certain elegance and elegance.
People are taken by her, they don't dare to blaspheme, and they can't help but dream about her. Under the candlelight, her face becomes more and more crystal clear, like a crescent moon. She is indeed a beauty. In the original plot, Shen Lian, I have seen it before. But she was different at that time than she is today. At that time, she was heartbroken and looked haggard. Now, she is radiant and her cheeks are flushed.
