Retreat, Retreat, Retreat! - Chapter 2

“Sister, did you really agree to marry Dongchang?”

In Xibi Palace, Xiao Huan whimpered with tears and sobbed: “It’s I who made you tired! Sister, it’s okay. You don’t have to do this for me. If Shen Xuan really wants this throne, just take it. …”

“Hush! If you let the Queen Mother know this, you will be dead!”

Xiao Changning stuffed the sliced ​​pear into the little emperor’s mouth, blocking his rebellious words, and sighed, “Emperor, don’t you understand? This marriage is not my control. That day, I will be merciful. Ninggong, I was forced to die by death. It was just a gamble on the position of the first emperor in the heart of the queen mother, but I lost the gamble. Since I lost the gamble, I have to surrender…otherwise, I won’t walk out of the gate of Cining Palace alive.”

The little emperor shrank his neck in fright, swallowed the pear in his mouth in a few mouthfuls, and asked in a low voice, “Does the queen mother really do anything to you? You are a princess.”

“Don’t say it’s me, it’s Shen Xuan’s daughter who is named to be the Queen Mother, she will agree without hesitation. In her eyes, there are only benefits, no affection.”

In the last sentence, Xiao Changning suppressed his voice extremely low, fearing that some spies would hear him, and muttered: “Stay in the palace will only be tossed to make life worse than death. Marrying to Dongchang is also a death. When I escaped to death, I figured it out clearly. Every death is the same. The two evils are the lesser. At least there is a chance of marrying Shen Xuan.”

What’s more, as the first princess who was given to the **** as the wife in history, she is also considered to be a “famous forever”, and it is not a loss.

Xiao Changning was still married on a weak autumn day.

There was joy outside, and there were wailing inside the house. Several dowry court servants held red silk in despair, shrank in the corner and cried. It was a happy event, but it was more heartbreaking than a funeral.

The little emperor wore a solemn black-and-black diadem suit. As soon as he entered the Xibi Palace, he saw Xiao Changning putting a pearl-white plain robe on his body. The little emperor sniffed, and walked over and asked with red eyes, “Sister, today is your big day. You should wear a phoenix crown and hazel. Why do you need to wear a plain pearl dress?”

Xiao Changning had prepared for the worst, sighed, and said as if a dying person: “Wearing white clothes on the inside and wedding gowns on the outside, I entered the East Factory, and the palace took off the scarlet wedding gowns. , You can go directly to the funeral, saving you the trouble of changing clothes.”

Xiao Huan was so frightened by her that he immediately grabbed her sleeves with a wow, and said, “My poor sister!”

Xiao Changning looked like all four of them were empty, and patted the emperor’s shoulder to soothed and said, “Don’t cry, people are inherently dead. If I really experience any accidents, remember to burn more paper money for A sister every year and today.”

Instead of being comforted, the little emperor cried more fiercely.

Xibi Palace’s sobbing sound was like a match, and the sound of a match was louder. Xiao Changning put on a bright red wedding gown and a phoenix crown on his white clothes, with a row of golden tassels hanging down on his forehead, obscuring his sight.

In a short while, the **** of the Li Jian carrying a whisk came to report, saying: “His Royal Highness Princess Changning, the father-in-law of Dongchang has come to pick up the relatives. If you are ready, please go on the sedan chair and leave the palace with us.”

As soon as the speech fell, more than twenty eunuchs from the East Factory were seen rushing in, lined up on both sides, all wearing brown clothes, round hats, soap boots, sabers and swords, both feminine and majestic.

Headed by the two eunuchs, with gold and silver embroidered on their clothes, one can tell at a glance that their identity is extraordinary, and I don’t know which one of them is the frightening admiral of Dongchang.

At the end of the day, Xiao Changning was more nervous than expected. She took a step back subconsciously, her fingers twisted together in secret, almost torn apart the delicately embroidered sleeves.

She peeped through the gap between the golden tassels hanging from her forehead, and inquired nervously.

I saw that the **** standing at the top of the right column was as white as a woman, with slender eyebrows, delicate features, and a feminine gesture between his hands and feet. At this time, he was twisting the orchid fingers and frustrating the nail of the **** with a small knife, carelessly. He dragged a long tone and asked: “I am so happy today, why are you all crying?”

With a sharp voice and a bit of murderous air, Xiao Changning’s heart sank, and said: “It’s over, could this person be Shenxuan!”

Dongchang Fanzi is coming so fiercely, the people in Xibi Palace are already shocked and dumbfounded, the little emperor pursed his mouth, and a tear will not fall on his eyelashes. Xiao Changning was not much better, shaking his hands and looking at the feminine and delicate eunuch, he squatted and said, “Shen, Shen, Shen…”

The feminine **** raised Lanhua’s finger, rolled his eyes, and lazily bowed to the brothers and sisters: “Who is the eldest princess called aunt? In the Xiadong factory, the Qinglong service officer has no mirror. Twenty is five. Don’t you dare to be the eldest princess. Auntie.”

The little emperor pulled Xiao Changning’s sleeve and whispered in her ear: “Sister, you are mistaken, this is not Shen Xuan.”

Xiao Changning breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately, Shen Xuan is not this sissy…

“What do you want to say? What are you crying for?” Fang Wujing cocked his slender fingers, and the knife circled between his fingers, staring at the crowd in a cool manner, “to tears away.” Hold back!”

Everyone opened their eyes wide, trying hard not to let the tears fall.

“Don’t blame Father Fang, they are crying for marriage.”

Xiao Changning tried his best to raise the corners of his mouth and twitched. After all, he couldn’t laugh, so he turned his attention to the chief **** at the top of the left column…

Then she became stiff.

This **** has slender hands and feet, a handsome face, holding a long bow and carrying a pheasant quiver on his back. He is heroic, but his expression is cold, and his body is full of an aura of’don’t come near you’… Could it be Shen? Hyun?

“His Royal Highness Princess Long does not have to look at it. The admiral has an urgent matter. I didn’t come here personally today, but let me wait to welcome my relatives.” Seeing Xiao Changning’s anxiety, Fang Wujing slipped the knife between his fingers into his sleeve. , Pointed to the cold-faced young man with a bow, and introduced, “This is Suzaku’s chief officer, Jiang She.”

The two men clasped fists and saluted together, knelt down on one knee, and said in unison: “Subordinates, see the admiral’s wife!”

The two rows of Dongchang fans who lined from the door of the house to the courtyard also knelt together, screaming: “See the admiral’s wife!”

The little emperor Xiao Huan sucked his nose and whispered from the side: “Fang Wujing and Jiang She, one is the assassin leader who leads hundreds of assassins in the East Factory, the other is a marksman who claims to be able to penetrate Yang in a hundred steps, both are Shen Xuan’s left arm. Right-hand man, just leave one out, they are all characters who can make courtiers tremble three times!”

Just a few of his men came, and Xibi Palace was scared to death. If Shen Xuan was really involved, it might be a **** storm!

Xiao Changning feels that he will die soon!

“The Empress Dowager is here—”

With a sing, several people gathered around the Queen Mother Liang, who was wearing a purple dress with large sleeves and a black background, and finally broke the weird deadlock in Xibi Palace.

“I have seen the empress dowager.” Fang Wujing led the crowd to salute as a face-to-face, and then waved his hand, “It’s auspicious hour, please get on the bus and set off for the Princess. The admiral is still waiting for the bridal chamber in the East Factory.”

As soon as Xiao Changning heard the word “bridal chamber”, he shuddered all over, holding Xiao Huan’s hand tightly, and looking at him as if asking for help: bridal chamber? Who can tell her how the **** wants a bridal chamber! ?

Could it be that she was killed and buried together with the ‘baby’ that Shen Xuan castrated, for a yin marriage?

After imagining the scene on his own, Xiao Changning became more frightened the more he thought about it, and his teeth trembled.

“Hold on.” Empress Dowager Liang said Shen Shen, “The first emperor is kind, and although Shen Xuan is allowed to be among the’nine thousand years old’, he is still my uncle, why not come to marry Changning personally?”

“Please don’t blame the Empress Dowager. The Admiral has everything to do with her every day, and she really can’t get out of her body.” Facing the gloomy eyes of the Queen Mother, Fang Wujing smiled amorously. Will you live so leisurely and moisturized?”

“You!” The Empress Dowager Liang clenched her five fingers in her sleeves, suffocating for a while, and said angrily, “Changning is of royal blood anyway, this time she is married to the Dongchang factory, don’t forget that Admiral Shen promised the family!”

“The queen mother can rest assured, as long as you and Jin Yiwei don’t cause trouble, the throne of the Xiao family will definitely sit securely.” Fang Wujing glanced at Xiao Changning, who was in bright red costume, and stretched out his hand to make a request. Gesture, “His Royal Highness, please stop.”

Xiao Changning opened her red lips slightly, and it took a long time to calm her mind, and she trembled and said, “Dong Sui, go and hug Amber.”

Amber is a tortoiseshell cat raised by Xiao Changning, a birthday gift given to Xiao Changning by the emperor the previous year. The palace is deep, one person and one cat have been with each other for two years, and she has developed a relationship. This time she will marry the cat with it. Even if she enters Huangquan in the future, she will have a care.

Gong Mai Dongsui wiped his tears and took the cat. The brown-black-striped cat was very arrogant and not close to a stranger. He raised his paw and scratched Dongsui’s arm, and then jumped into Xiao Changning’s. In the arms.

Xiao Changning looked at the lazy tortoiseshell cat in his arms, and couldn’t help but feel sad from it: Amber, Amber, do you know that our good days are coming to an end?

Amber made a ‘meow’ for some reason, then squinted and dozed off.

When he got married, Xiao Changning couldn’t help crying. The two sisters and brothers held hands to say goodbye, and they both cried with rain, as if they were performing a farewell to life and death. After a long time, the Hongsha marriage wedding started to leave the palace. .

The wedding cart came out from Xuanwu Gate, walked along the palace wall through Donghua Gate, passed through the moat, and went straight to the East Factory.

There were a lot of people watching the excitement on the street, but no one cheered and shouted. All of them were sympathetic. What’s more, the pitiful sons quietly tied white cloth strips on their arms to pay homage to the long-lost jade. Princess.

“Poor, the emperor, who looks like a jade, is going to marry a **** and keep her widow.”

“The world is getting worse…”

“The East Factory is too arrogant. Sooner or later it will be retribution!”

“Hush! Dongchang Fanzi is everywhere, speak carefully!”

Unfortunately, these faint sounds of injustice were quickly overwhelmed by the joy of suona gongs and drums.

The road to Dongchang is short and long.

When the wedding stopped, Xia Lu and Dong Sui were holding the makeup box to make up for the crying Xiao Changning, and the two maidservants began to cry first.

“His Royal Highness, you should get out of the car. Admiral Shen has come to welcome you.” The grand palace lady Qiuhong’s voice sounded from outside the car curtain, and said anxiously, “Admiral Shen is really here, they are all with knives. Well, you…”

Before Qiuhong had finished speaking, Xiao Changning heard the eunuchs in Mandongchang kneeling together, and said with a sharp voice that is unique to eunuchs: “See the admiral!”

Xiao Changning, who was in the wedding car, sat up straight and hugged the tortoiseshell cat in his arms: “Amber! He is here, what should I do! This palace is going to die!”

Humber was disturbed by Qingmeng, stretched out, and “meows” dissatisfiedly.

There were steady footsteps approaching, and then, a low and nice male voice came steadily, ‘um’, and said, “Get up.”

“Master Factory Supervisor, Madam has taken it over for you.” Fang Wujing smiled charmingly and sneered, “I’m just a little timid and afraid to meet people.”

Xiao Changning subconsciously shrank his shoulders and held his breath as if he was facing an enemy.

Seeing no movement for a long time after seeing the gauze curtain, Shen Xuan’s low and solemn voice sounded again, “Does the princess get off by herself, or does the Governor ask you to get off?”

The voice is not as feminine as ordinary eunuchs, and it is extremely oppressive.

No matter, it is a knife to stretch the head, and to shrink the head, Xiao Changning took a deep breath and tried to stabilize his mood, and said to the two tearful palace maids: “wipe your tears and help my palace get out of the car.”

The twilight is gradually coming, the autumn breeze is coming, the red leaves are like fire, the red gauze is gently opened, the seventeen-year-old Changning princess has a gorgeous wedding dress, and the red lips under the golden tassels are gorgeous, and a pair of plain hands are exposed outside the cuffs. Bai Ruyu.

The moment she got out of the car, her figure swayed imperceptibly, and quickly stabilized, standing by the side car, looking at the same man in red ahead.

That is a tall and slender man.

In all fairness, Shen Xuan does not look as hideous as she imagined, and can even be said to be extraordinarily beautiful: his complexion is pale, with long eyebrows into the temples, pressing low on the narrow and deep phoenix eyes, with a straight nose and beautiful lips. The cheeks are slightly thin, adding a bit of fierceness to his handsome face.

A Shenxuan is scary enough, and even more terrifying is that there is a majestic **** dog squatting beside him.

Xiao Changning has never seen such a big dog! The whole body is black, with sharp claws, and the size is comparable to that of a gray wolf! At this time, I was looking at the new mistress with faint green eyes…

Shen Xuan touched the **** dog’s head, slowly raised a corner of her mouth, and laughed at Xiao Changning with an unclear meaning.
