Hidden Sky Light - Chapter 87
Most of the toasting time before the wedding ceremony is very long, and the brides will stay in the house to accompany the bride, afraid that the bride will be nervous or overwhelmed, and will accompany the bride to talk to relieve the boredom.
After the toasting session is over, the groom will drink the hangover soup before returning to the bridal chamber, and then perform the bridal ceremony after a little hangover.
But the battle in the official mansion today, plus the roaring and cheering in the main hall, is one after another, it seems to have never stopped, even in the new house, the brides are a little bit Worrying about the groom’s ability to come back sober.
Earlier, I had encountered the groom who was drunk, and it was useless to drink the understanding wine soup, and the brides could only help them to finish the bridal ceremony…
The bridesmaids in the house talked to Chen Ling about their concerns. Most of the guests who came today were generals in the garrison. In addition, there was always a lot of movement in the main hall. The brides and grooms estimated that the chances of the groom’s ability to come back sober were very small. I thought about telling the bride in advance so that the bride would be better prepared.
After Chen Ling heard it, she made a light hum, indifferently and demurely. She didn’t say anything else, and she couldn’t hear any worries or dissatisfaction.
The bridesmaids have many marriages to attend to. Whenever such a toasting occasion occurs, the bride will be worried that the wedding ceremony will not be carried out smoothly, which is a bad sign. Don’t take it to heart on such a happy day.
But right now, the bride seems to be more calm than their happy girls…
Listening to the movement in the main hall, perhaps the groom had already drank and got down, but the bride didn’t ask, didn’t ask, and didn’t have any anxiety, and the brides didn’t even know how to comfort them.
Seeing the time passing by, even Xi Niang couldn’t sit still one after another, You Xi Niang couldn’t help but said, “Bride, do you want to send someone to see the groom’s office?”
The rest of the girls also mean the same.
Under the hi-pa, Chen Ling said warmly, “It’s okay, no need.”
The bride said so, no matter what the happy ladies said, they couldn’t figure out the mind of the bride.
However, Chen Lingqu occasionally needs to drink water, and most of the time is very quiet. Without him, he is too busy on weekdays. It is rare to sit quietly and think about things for the whole period of time. Although she was also nervous when she was newly married, when Shen Ci hugged her over the brazier and heard the surrounding roar and Shen Ci’s heartbeat, she suddenly realized that this was the happiest day for Shen Ci. .
No matter how he is in Beijing, here, he is the groom’s official…
So she knew that he had to drink some wine.
And she also has time to stay in one place quietly, and she will think of many things in the past carefully, and no one will disturb her. This is also a very extravagant thing for her. She can slowly recall the first time she saw Shen Ci in Zhoucheng, the way back to Beijing, and the unfamiliar Beijing. She asked her if her feet hurt when she twisted her feet, she would eat a candy when it hurt, and when he was going back to Ancheng for the Chinese New Year, he told her that when the box of candy was finished, he would go back to Beijing…
Chen Ling smiled.
Although not every memory is beautiful, the most beautiful age has always had a deep remark…
This is her greatest luck.
Today is as important as her, but on such a day, she can sit here quietly and slowly recall all the previous events before the wedding ceremony, which in itself is the best arrangement.
Everything is just right…
Around dusk, a series of footsteps came from outside the garden, and it was from the main hall, “The bridegroom has just finished toasting, drank the wine soup, and talked to General Liu He, and he will come to the bridal chamber later. already.”
Hearing that the groom is coming back soon, the bridesmaids in the house were all busy, “Hurry up, hurry up!”
The Xi Niangs seemed to be in a completely different formation from before, Chen Ling was stunned, not knowing what they were going to do.
You Xi Niang unveiled the Xipa and said that she wanted to touch up the bride’s makeup. The makeup has been on for nearly a day. Before the wedding ceremony, the makeup must be done so that the groom can see the most beautiful bride when he receives the Xipa.
Chen Ling listened to the command and closed his eyes again, opened his eyes, raised his head, and lowered his head.
There was also Xi Niang who went to the side and fetched the things for the wedding ceremony that had been prepared earlier.
And Xi Niang asked the kitchen to bring the dinner later…
Listening to Xi Niang’s slightly flustered voice, Chen Ling was not nervous at first, but she seemed to be a little nervous by them.
“The bride is not nervous, just follow the bridal ceremony, and we are still here~” The girls instructed Chen Ling before putting on the happy handkerchief again.
Chen Ling nodded.
Almost as soon as the voice fell, a series of footsteps came from the garden, and the servant in the official mansion reminded, “The groom is here!”
The happy girls were waiting immediately.
After the door was pushed open, the familiar footsteps entered.
Chen Ling couldn’t see it, but the bridesmaids breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the groom wasn’t drunk enough to help him in the wedding ceremony.
You Xi Niang stepped forward and said, “Groom, can we do the wedding ceremony now?”
Xi Niang asked, seeing the smell of alcohol on him, if he wanted to stay a little longer.
Shen Ci nodded, “Well.”
Xi Niang led Shen Ci into the room, and she sat in the same position where he had held Chen Ling on the bed earlier.
I don’t know if it’s because of drinking, but looking at this bright red wedding robe now, Shen Ci’s heart seems to have a spring swallow passing by the lake, and the ripples have opened up, but it is clear that nothing has been done…
Chen Ling lowered his head slightly. Although he couldn’t see Shen Ci, he could see the pair of happy boots coming forward from the gap in Xipa.
Shen Ci picked up the happy scale from the tray in Xi Niang’s hand, and when Chen Ling saw the pair of happy boots approaching, she heard Xi Niang say in a full and mellow tone, “Please lift the red hijab, the husband and wife are so affectionate to the white head.”
As Xi Niang’s voice fell, the Xipa covering her head was lifted up by him with the joy scale, and the candlelight around Chen Ling felt a little light suddenly. Although he had also partially removed his hijab and made up just now, it was not as if the entire red hijab was removed, which was a little dazzling, and Chen Ling couldn’t help lowering his eyes.
Because he lowered his head originally, when he lowered his eyes, the slender feathered eyelashes overturned, and the feathered eyelashes were slightly golden against the backdrop of the candlelight, like a butterfly with golden wings, eager to move and sultry. And when the wings were gently opened, he blinked, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes with rhythm, which he had never seen before.
He was stunned, his heartbeat seemed to skip a beat, and he seemed to have forgotten that the person in front of him was the emperor in the Golden Palace, but Chen Ling, who had put on his wedding dress. Had to look up at him.
He had always known that she was born beautiful, and he had seen her in women’s clothes when she was fleeing in Fuyang County, and when she bid him farewell in Beijing, but it was only now that he knew what it was like to be soul-stirring.
He has never seen her with thick and bright makeup, her brows are lit with flower tints, the slender eyelashes are lined with autumn water, and there are clear waves in her eyes. …
Behind her was Xi Niang’s laughter, “Groom officer, does the bride look good?”
Only then did he come back to his senses, “…It’s beautiful.”
The girls laughed even louder.
Xi Niang patronized and jokingly resigned, but did not notice the two blushes on Chen Ling’s cheeks.
Shen Ci has always been gentle and good-looking in her heart. When she was young, even though she had been in the army for many years, she was more determined and mature, but she was still clear and handsome.
She, she never looked so good in his wedding gown…
When she chose this wedding robe, she thought about how he would look in it, but she never thought that he would match this wedding robe to Jizhijia.
In addition to being young, she rarely blushes when she sees him, but now she blushes and her heart beats.
Chen Ling lowered her eyes lightly, trying her best to hide the look from her eyes.
But all of a sudden, he leaned over and pressed his lips to hers. Her cheeks suddenly turned red, and she was also hot and afraid of people.
Xi Niang, who was behind her, panicked, “Bridegroom, bridegroom, you haven’t had a drink yet~”
Shen Ci suddenly realized that he was in a hurry.
Both of them looked as if they had just touched their rouge.
Shen Ci then took a seat beside Chen Ling, Xi Niang came forward with a cup, “Invite the bride and groom to drink the wine, harmony and beauty, forever.”
Following Xi Niang’s words, the two stretched out their hands, each took the wine glasses in front of them, crossed their necks and drank.
After drinking, Shen Ci took the wine glass from Chen Ling’s hand, put it on the tray in front of him, and Xi Niang took it.
Xi Niang on the other side stepped forward and said, “The wedding ceremony is completed. I wish the bride and groom a happy marriage for a hundred years.”
Shen Ci and Chen Ling both breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Ci had instructed to be simple earlier, so the wedding ceremony was not long.
When the Xi Niangs exited the house and closed the door from outside, Shen Ci reached out and took off the phoenix crown for her, “Shen?”
Chen Ling nodded.
Sitting on the phoenix crown for a day, his neck was sore, but Chen Ling didn’t make a sound.
Shen Ci is not stupid, Chen Ling is pampered on weekdays, and he knows how much the phoenix crown is in his hand, not only the phoenix crown, but also the robe of Xipao, Shen Ci undresses for her.
Against the background of red candles, the atmosphere in the room was ambiguous from the beginning. He unbuttoned her collar for her, and she could smell the alcohol on him.
“Use something, I’m going to wash up, I’ll be right back.” He kissed her side cheek.
When the wedding ceremony was just now, Xi Niang passed the dishes to the house. He used it briefly before toasting, and Chen Ling was always empty stomach.
Chen Ling should be fine.
On the table is a small table for the bride and groom, and there is also the unfinished wine in the jug on one side.
Chen Ling is really hungry, but since childhood, he always eats slowly and is gentle and elegant.
Shen Ci was just drunk, and he really drank a lot. These people in the garrison would not let him get away easily, nor would they really make him unable to return to the bridal chamber, but he would suffer a little.
When he came back just now, he was a little uncomfortable, and he persisted until the end of the wedding ceremony.
Chen Ling was in the inner room, he took off his robe in the ear room, loosened his collar a little, and then washed, so that the alcohol would dissipate and he would be more awake.
When it was about time, he changed into a clean wedding robe and left the ear room.
Chen Ling didn’t eat much. When he came out, Chen Ling had almost used it. It was auspicious on the wedding night, so he could use less rice, but it was best to drink the rest of the wine. During the wedding ceremony just now, the two of them drank a large cup each, and there should be more than half of the pot left in the pot.
When Shen Ci reached for the wine pot, he saw that the pot was empty.
Shen Ci was slightly surprised.
When he raised his eyes to look at Chen Ling, he saw that Chen Ling’s face was a little red, and Shen Ci responded, “Have you all drunk?”
It should be because he was afraid that he would drink alcohol all afternoon and still smell alcohol.
Chen Ling was light.
Shen Ci looked at Fang Cai’s jug, and there were quite a few…
There was drunkenness in Chen Ling’s eyes, “There is one more cup.”
He also wanted to drink the wine together. She kept a small glass in front of her for him. It’s just that after she finished speaking, before he could reach out his hand, Chen Ling took a cup in his hand and drank it slowly.
Then put down the cup and looked at him with slightly drunk eyes, revealing indescribable charm and soul-stirring.
His heart beat faster, and his throat couldn’t help shrugging slightly.
He knew the glass of wine was his.
I know she did it on purpose…
Kissing her lips, the wine is like honey, he can’t be too much. With one hand on the back of the chair, he wrapped his arms around her waist and slowly finished tasting the wine.
He let go of his lips, but still pressed his lips to hers, and said solemnly, “Madam, it’s getting late, let’s settle it.”
She hummed softly.
He picked her up like before, and like never before.
This was the day he married her, they had a whole night, they could justify being together, and then embraced each other to sleep. They didn’t have to worry about leaving in the morning, and they could wake up tomorrow evening without anyone bothering them.
No matter what happened earlier, today is their wedding.
Newlyweds are different than before.
His eyes sank slightly, and he let her sit down on the happy bed, the remaining longan peanuts creaked.
He put her down, then worried about getting down on one knee, reaching out and patiently taking off the wedding shoes with mandarin ducks playing in the water embroidered on her feet.
Chen Ling looked at him.
He kept his head down, didn’t look at her, took off one, then took off the other, and was so quiet that he didn’t speak.
She didn’t bother him, just remembered that night in Miaocheng, when he said he wanted to accompany him, she teased him specially, and lightly tapped his toes on his chest…
Both of them seemed to think of that time, their hearts pounded, and they froze for a while, then Shen Ci then looked up at her again, “Am I **** for you?”
Chen Ling looked at him: “…”
He reached out and untied her collar, and the outer robe was taken off just now. It was the middle coat, then the inner garment, and then the dark green apron embroidered with ruyi flowers, and the red robe and ying robe that slipped to the wrist. Contrasted with white skin. In front of him is a dark green apron, and behind him is empty except for the tether around his neck.
He stretched out his hand to embrace her, as soft and smooth as the finest silk, where his fingertips touched, her eyes trembled, the dark green Ruyi flowers gently undulating, he said solemnly, “A Ling , you are so beautiful…”
In the beautiful and ambiguous atmosphere, his fingertips caressed the back of her neck, and she seemed to hold her breath. Suddenly, the dark green satin slipped under the bed, and she subconsciously reached out to help the clothes slipping on her wrist, but he held her wrist with both hands, her face flushed red, and when he looked at her, the darkness in his eyes was as dark as night. , her cheeks are getting hotter and hotter, and he wants to move, but he won’t let it.
“Shen Ci.” She whispered softly, and he smiled softly at her, “What do you call me?”
She swallowed in her throat, “Husband…”
He hummed, looking at her contentedly.
Chen Ling sighed, “Have you not seen enough?”
She lowered her eyes, avoiding her gaze.
He said softly, “Hmm.”
Chen Ling bit her lip, “You’re not, I haven’t seen it…”
He said warmly, “It’s different, A Ling. I have to remember that today is your wedding.”
She was startled.
He took her hand and put it on his lips, and kissed her reverently, “Let me kiss her well.”
She thought he was talking about the hand, but he reached out and took off the wedding hairpin from her temples, the blue silk and black hair hung down like satin, slanted on the snow-white shoulders, and slightly covered in front of the Butterfly Valley.
He embraced her with one hand and untied the curtain on the bed with the other.
The curtain was closed, and the light of the red candle was placed outside the curtain, leaving only a dim and faint halo around her. She saw that his Adam’s apple was slightly loose, and she hugged her and sat on him. He is kissing her well, like the warm sunshine in the winter, and like the moisturizing in the spring rain.
He embraces him, kisses her, and calls her by name reverently.
Unlike the restraint and forbearance in the earlier days, although he was still gentle and steady, but with extreme admiration in his gentleness and steadyness, he was kissing her well, and he didn’t fall anywhere.
Her eyelashes were even foggy, her cheeks were red, she was clearly close at hand, without support, and finally leaned against her arms softly, her eyes were a little hot, he knew that she had moved to the place where she moved, and her tone had changed. She sighed in her arms, it was the first time that he had kissed to this extent.
“Is it better?” he said softly.
She nodded lightly, and the twilight that had just faded was still hanging in her eyes, like walking on thin ice, but he was clearly still dressed.
He kissed her ear and said softly, “A Ling, I just got here.”
He touched her lower abdomen with his fingertips, she remembered the temperature between his lips just now, and her face turned red again, “Don’t, don’t kiss.”
“Well, if you kiss me, I won’t kiss you anymore.” He was sincere.
She put her arms on the back of his neck and kissed him tenderly. He smiled and placed her on the couch, fully explaining that he didn’t kiss, he was chewing.
At first she still glared at him, but later she didn’t even have the strength to glare at him. In the warmth of the red candle tent, the blush on her face seemed to never go away. As she cleared her throat, her tone changed twice. Brother An.”
He stopped, she clenched the placket of his shirt tightly, and when she looked at him, her eyes were full of beauty and blur, and the moving expression that had just passed, she breathed lightly. Counting just now, how many times, she can’t remember…
He smiled gently, and said gently, “A Ling, the bridal candle, we haven’t started yet.”
Chen Ling’s mind was muddled, only to see that he was just slowly loosening his collar and widening his robe.
There seemed to be a puddle of spring water in her eyes, and she bit her lip and said, “What was that just now?”
When the wedding robe fell, he said softly, “Let’s say goodbye for a few months.”
“Shen Ci…” She just called, but suddenly felt a little cold on her ankle. He buckled something on her ankle, and there seemed to be a clear voice, “Shen Ci?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he hugged her tightly and got close to her, she couldn’t help sighing, and her fingertips couldn’t help pinching him.
Outside the brocade tent, the red pair of candles sizzled.
Inside the brocade tent, the breath is intertwined with the figure, the bells in the ears are looming, the time is urgent and slow, with a unique clarity and ambiguity, like the wind in the mountains, climbing from the bottom of the valley to the cloud, and then falling from the cloud to the bottom of the valley. , again and again. There is gradual progress, and there is a lot of confusion.
In the closeness, accompanied by the sound of the bell, it disturbed a pool of spring water, and she did not care about the sweat on her forehead. Gentleness and restraint alternated, and the bell sounded abruptly at the place where her fingers were clasped. She sighed softly, until after a long time, he He let go of her hands and kissed her lips, “A Ling, I love you, I love you…”
There was still a bright light in Chen Ling’s eyes that did not fade away, and he was gentle and happy to hear his figure again, “We got married in the church.”
“Yeah.” She also reached out and wrapped her arms around his back.
He hugged her as if he had never been satisfied and happy.
“I want to drink water.” Her voice was hoarse.
He got up, picked up the clothes on the ground and simply wrapped them around his waist, and went to pour water for her.
Chen Ling was really thirsty, so she stood up with her hands up, finished her drink in one breath, and drank two more glasses in a row.
When he turned back, he stretched his hand across her ear hair, “Go to the ear room?”
She nodded.
Hot water was prepared in the ear room. He asked her if the water was hot, and she replied, “Just right.”
He hugged her into the tub, the water was steaming, and the warmth of the water did slowly relieve her tiredness and soreness.
Shen Ci was drinking water on one side, and Chen Ling peeked at the ankle chain he tied to her ankle, and couldn’t help blushing when she remembered the scene when she heard the sound of the bell just now.
Just as Shen Ci turned back, she saw that she was in a trance, the blush on her face had not faded, and the skin exposed on the water was full of wax plum marks.
“What do you think?” He also entered.
Chen Ling looked at him, “How did you learn so badly?”
He laughed, “When did I learn badly?”
As if to prove it, she stretched her ankle out of the water, revealing the chain…
Shen Ci sighed, “I don’t want to either. When I bought that step, the store said, I have to sell it with this one, or I won’t sell it.”
Chen Ling: “…”
Shen Ci got closer and said vaguely, “I didn’t expect it, it’s quite useful.”
Chen Ling was amused, “Why don’t I think that the golden-winged butterfly jadeite will be sold by the store with a foot chain? The meaning is different, right?”
Suddenly being exposed, Shen Ci thought about it and sighed, “Perhaps, the meaning is the same, and the Emperor Shun and the Queen also use it?”
Knowing his nonsense, Chen Ling kicked him away with his toes, “Shen Zi’an, that’s enough!”
Suddenly, his ankle was held by him, “Who said I had enough?”
He didn’t let go, “Ma’am, it’s not enough…”
“Shen Zi’an, let go.” Chen Ling looked at him.
He didn’t move.
“Shen Zi’an, you are fat, aren’t you?” Chen Ling just finished speaking, he smiled, suddenly picked her up, Chen Ling exclaimed, and then carried her into the water, the sound of water overflowing the tub.
When the water surfaced again, he pushed her against the edge of the tub, and she also reached out and crawled on the back of his neck, the water surface fluctuated gently, swimming in the water…
When he wiped her head, she was leaning against his arms, sleepy and tired, but her hands were still holding him tightly, not letting go, like a coquettish child, clinging to him, leaning against him, not let go.
“A Ling?” he called.
There was no movement.
“A Ling?” He called again, making sure that the person in front of him didn’t move, he should have fallen asleep.
Shen Ci put down the towel in his hand, hugged her to get up, she was asleep, leaning in his arms, he carried her to the bed without waking up. She had only wrapped a bath towel, and now she took off the bath towel and put it in one place, nestled in the quilt, she slept comfortably, and he was a little sad.
But he was newly married tonight, and he didn’t want to share a bed with her.
He tries not to look at her, and turns his back on her…
It was just fine at first, but at some point, she suddenly leaned over, leaned on his back, and stretched her arms around his waist, and her legs were not very honest.
He felt that the whole person was a little bad.
***
The next day, Chen Ling slept for the first time and woke up naturally.
She was actually used to waking up at Mao Shi, but she repeatedly subconsciously knew that yesterday was a newly married, and she didn’t want to move today. When she opened her eyes again, it happened that the sun was shining through the gap of the brocade tent.
Chen Ling slept well last night, Shen Ci didn’t make much noise, and now he is sleeping behind her, holding her in an intimate position with his chin on top of his head.
Chen Ling raised the brocade tent a little, only to see that the sky outside the brocade tent was already bright, I was afraid it was almost noon.
“Self-safety.” Chen Ling called to him.
Shen Ci was sleepy, “A Ling, I’ll sleep a little longer.”
Chen Ling remembered to drink water, stretched out his hand and took his arm away, only to see that he was not wearing clothes, Chen Ling remembered that he seemed to have such a habit, but he knew why his clothes would be on her.
His clothes were loose on her body, Chen Ling tied it with a belt, and then went to the outer cabinet to get some water to drink.
Hearing the rustling sound, Chen Ling turned his head and saw no one, so he subconsciously became a little worried, but suddenly, seeing a gap in the door of the house, hmmm came in through the crack.
Chen Ling was stunned.
Hmm, obviously stunned.
“Zi, Zi’an…” Mmmm is already a little big, and Chen Ling will be a little scared, so there is a slight tremor in his voice calling him.
But Shen Ci fell asleep and didn’t hear it.
Seeing Mmm walking towards her, Chen Ling couldn’t help, “Zi An!”
Chen Ling called again.
For fear of angering the golden dog in front of him, Chen Ling didn’t dare to be too loud, but he was louder than before, and his voice was full of nervousness.
Hearing Chen Ling’s voice, Shen Ci woke up, seeing that the person was not around, the voice came from the outer cabinet, Shen Ci got up without thinking, and in panic, seeing Mmm approaching Chen Ling, Chen Ling tentatively reached out and touched it Mmm’s head, Mmm stepped forward and rubbed her close enough.
Chen Ling was no longer afraid, and seemed to have reacted, “Huh?”
