The tenth day of February, today is an important day for the Lieyang Empire, because today the young princess Chu Qianxue of the Lieyang Empire will be engaged to the young prince Jia Tianying of the Scarlet Moon Empire. This is a moment for the whole country to celebrate, and it is the focus of the whole continent. Gathering focus.
Early this morning, the professional make-up mama had already made Qianxue look beautiful.
She wore a red golden phoenix wedding dress, and a white velvet embroidered three-warp gauze skirt. Her hair was tied into a bunch of flowers, and she used a hairpin that Dolin had given her in the Emerald City. The jade phoenix hairpin, the silk-filled mutton-fat jade earrings on the ears, the hand as white as green onion wearing the silk white jade crown nail buckle, the waist is tied with a pink and orange bow, a long tassel five-color girdle, hanging lightly A purse embroidered with the image of a birthday girl holding a sika deer, and a pair of gold-thread-embroidered sheepskin-soled boots look small and exquisite.
Beauty is the only word that can be used to describe Qianxue today, and other descriptions are completely redundant.
She kept staring at the bronze mirror. Seeing her beautiful appearance, she was not happy, and even her eyes were slightly red.
"Young princess, please smile, it's not beautiful like this." The make-up nurse said softly.
Qianxue's face was still expressionless. How could she laugh? This engagement was not of her own free will. She didn't even know what the other party looked like. Most importantly, the wedding dress she wore made her feel sick and made her feel disgusted. I feel sorry for Dorian.
Seeing that Qianxue's face was still expressionless, the make-up ladies didn't dare to talk any more. After finishing the make-up they were doing, they left.
The Duchess sitting aside slowly walked over and gently hugged Qianxue from behind.
"Mother..." Qianxue couldn't hold it in anymore, tears burst into her eyes.
"Good daughter, let's not cry anymore. It won't look good if we cry." The Duchess's eyes were also red.
Qianxue sobbed softly, holding her hands tightly together.
"I want to play the piano..." Qianxue said softly.
The Duchess nodded, she let go of Qianxue, and then led Qianxue to the guqin beside her.
Qianxue lifted up her skirt and sat on the stool, her white green hands gently brushing the strings.
I don’t know whether it’s because of her state of mind or the atmosphere, but her music was particularly desolate today. After hearing it, people couldn’t help but stop and recall the regret in their hearts.
The Duchess stood quietly opposite Qianxue, looking at Qianxue's tears that couldn't stop falling, her heart ached. This was her daughter, the daughter she had finally lost and found.
Unknowingly, Qianxue used her inner strength, and her inner strength flowed out through the sound of the piano along with her state of mind.
The sound of the piano spread out of the room and throughout the Duke's Palace. People who were busy stopped their work unconsciously. They were fascinated by it without knowing it.
The moment Chu Xiyan heard the sound of the piano, she felt a sense of desolation filling her heart. Chu Xiyun, her best cousin, and Chu Wan'er, her best cousin, could not save either of them. Sometimes he They all hate themselves and hate that they were not as brave as Chu Xiyun and dared to fight against their father and grandfather for Wan'er.
My cousin and cousin were not saved, so now I have to give away my own daughter?
Absolutely not!
Chu Xiyan slapped the table and shouted: "Come here!"
….
Huo Shi and Dian Wu opened the door at the same time and walked in.
"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions!" The two of them saluted at the same time.
"Are you two afraid of death?" Chu Xiyan asked.
Huo Shi and Dian Wu looked up. They saw Chu Xiyan with red eyes, and instantly knew what the Duke wanted to do.
"I, the fire lion, am willing to go through fire and water for the Duke!"
"I, Nomagiri, am willing to die for the Duke!"
Chu Xiyan nodded, he stood up slowly and said: "I once had regrets in my heart. At that time, I was weak and timid. I didn't dare to face my father and the emperor. I failed to protect what I wanted to protect. But today, I can't watch my daughter being bullied again. She lived in Shenwu in her early years. I failed to fulfill my obligations as a father. Now that I have finally come back, I, as a father, will never let my daughter be bullied again. What's the matter? sin
Let me, the father, carry it! ! ! "
"Your Majesty the Duke! Give me the order!" Fire Lion and Noriwu kneeled down on one knee at the same time and begged for orders.
"Whoever is willing to become a victim of the marriage can go. Anyway, my daughter must not become a victim! The two of you gather your trustworthy subordinates, not too many! Just the best! Your mission is to make trouble at the critical moment, as much as possible Destroy this ceremony!" Chu Xiyan slapped the table and shouted.
"I obey!" Huo Shi and Dian Wu shouted in unison.
Chu Xiyan walked up to the two of them and helped them up personally. He reached out and patted their shoulders and said meaningfully: "Go and get ready!"
Huo Shi and Dian Wu followed the order and left. Chu Xiyan walked slowly to the door. Listening to the melancholy sound of the piano, he grabbed the pillar on the side. The heartache made him grab five pieces on the pillar. A deep fingerprint.
"The auspicious time has come!" A shout rang out, and a jubilant suona sounded.
The maids also entered the room and waited quietly for Qianxue.
Qianxue stopped playing the piano, pressed down the trembling strings with her hands, and then slowly stood up.
"Let's go..." Qianxue said slowly after taking a deep breath. At this time, she had regained her composure.
Surrounded by a group of maids, Qianxue left the room, and behind her, the Duchess could no longer hold back her tears.
Outside the door, a bright red sedan was waiting there.
"Please get on the sedan, young princess!" the wedding mama called out.
The sedan was pressed down, the bearer opened the curtain, and Qianxue lowered her head and walked into the sedan.
She needed to take a sedan chair to the central square in the city, which had been decorated half a month ago just for today's ceremony.
"Get up the sedan!" With a cry, eight bearers lifted the sedan up and walked out.
Chu Xiyan came to the side of the duchess, stretched out her hand and took the duchess into her arms.
"Is the arrangement ready?" the Duchess asked, hiding her face.
"Don't worry, I will never let my daughter get engaged like this." Chu Xiyan said.
"That's good..." said the Duchess, wiping her tears.
"Let's go! We have to follow!" Chu Xiyan hugged the duchess and walked out in the sedan.
When the team left the Duke's Palace, people were already standing on both sides of the street. They all held red flowers in their hands and said blessings.
Qianxue slightly lifted the curtain on one side of the sedan and looked at the people blessing her. She sighed. If she was engaged to Daolin today, she would be the happiest woman in the world, but the reality is always far from satisfactory.
On the other side, the wedding team of the Scarlet Moon Empire also set off. Jia Tianying was wearing a bright red wedding dress with a big red flower on his chest.
He was very high-spirited today. He had transformed into a flying bird to observe Qianxue in secret before. It had to be said that Qianxue's appearance completely met his aesthetic standards.
"Beauty, after today, you are mine!"
