Retreat, Retreat, Retreat! - Chapter 54

The wedding dress in my hand is very particular about the materials, the stitches are fine, the embroidery is exquisite, and the bright red dress with big sleeves and big sleeves is neatly spread out on the couch. Winter ears on the side are holding a red lacquer tray. The sun was shining with gold, silver and pearls, and it was really beautiful.

Xiao Changning stroked the thick fabric of the wedding dress, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, seemingly satisfied. Immediately, her gaze fell on the phoenix crown on the side, and the arc of the corner of her mouth slowly fell again, disappointed: “So it wasn’t for this palace.”

The memories of the day when Xiao Changning and Shen Xuan got married were not so good. One was the mourning gown in the wedding dress, and the other did not even take off the old clothes inside. A grand wedding banquet was like a joke. This morning, Shen Xuan said that someone would bring a new wedding gown over. She was a little bit happy, thinking that Shen Xuan’s conscience discovered this. Want to marry her seriously again?

But when she saw the phoenix crown, she knew that she was happy for a while.

Although civilian women can also wear the’Phoenix Crown’ when they are married, this’Phoenix Crown’ is not the other’s phoenix crown. Instead, it is replaced by Qingluan or Lingque. The beautiful name is’Phoenix Crown.’ You need to use the majestic’Hundred Birds Chaofeng’ phoenix coronet.

The phoenix crown in front of him was obviously Qingluan, which was not used by the royal family, so naturally it could not have been prepared for Xiao Changning.

Seeing Xiao Changning’s loss, Shen Xuan found it interesting, and looked at her and said, “His Royal Highness is already a married bride. What do you want to marry?”

Xiao Changning was a little unhappy, and couldn’t help being curious about the master of this wedding gown.

She waved back the maidservant, and when she and Shen Xuan were the only ones left in the house, she turned around and grabbed Shen Xuan’s skirt, tiptoes to his face, and asked, “Say! Who is this wedding dress for? Is it possible that the admiral of the Dongchang East Factory can do this kind of chores, surely that woman must be of extraordinary origin?”

The tightly fitted plackets were tossed and wrinkled, but Shen Xuan was not at all annoyed, so she watched Xiao Changning’s softly annoyed expression. His complexion was still calm and cold, but the smile in his eyes was warm, like the winter sun shattered in his eyes.

He didn’t speak, but Xiao Changning was wronged first, “When you got married in this palace, you didn’t take it so seriously.” Now you are so concerned about a strange woman’s wedding dress, and bother her grand princess to look at it in person? Ping Shi!

Sure enough, a woman’s heart is moved, and she will be more hypocritical. And a man who understands the tenderness of the country, knows the taste of the marrow, and will be more tolerant.

Shen Xuan embraced her and kissed her first.

Xiao Changning turned his head to avoid it, and said dissatisfied: “If you have something to say, don’t use your hands to kiss you.”

Shen Xuan had no choice but to appease: “This wedding dress is indeed for a very important girl. I have an appointment with her before, and I can’t break my promise. But that’s all, it’s not what you think.”

“How do you know what my palace is thinking?” After a night, Xiao Changning became fat, and gave him an angry look, and said bluntly, “My palace knows that you have always said what you say, and knows that you will never again I fell in love with other girls. It’s just that if you treat everyone with a cold face, it’s just a matter of taking care of a girl who doesn’t know where it came from. Of course, this palace will feel very uncomfortable…”

“This is jealous,” Shen Xuan said.

Xiao Changning was embarrassed for a while, and shot back: “Admiral Shen can’t understand emotions and desires. Hearing a joke has to be delayed for two quarters of an hour to laugh. Why is he so sensitive today, and he still knows to be jealous?”

Shen Xuan held her chattering lips and said in a dumb voice: “It’s a lot of thanks to your Highness who went to Wushan Yunyu with me last night, so I opened my eyes.”

Xiao Changning’s face blushed, and he smiled sullenly: “Nonsense!” Does going to bed have the effect of getting through the eight channels of the odd meridians?

Tuk tuk ——

There was a knock on the door, and Fang Wujing’s untimely voice sounded outside: “Well, take the liberty to disturb the two masters… Miss Yu Kou, please see me, waiting in the front hall.”

“Haosheng entertained her, and the Governor will come.”

As if anticipating that Yu Kou would come to visit, Shen Xuan rubbed Xiao Changning’s neck with the tip of her nose, opened her mouth and lightly bit on her neck, and said dumbly: “Go and meet her with me?”

It was only last night that Xiao Changning discovered that he actually had the habit of biting the neck, like a savage beast, with an unspeakable desire to conquer. A light bite and a lick can make her feel flustered and weak.

“Don’t go.” Xiao Changning took a step back, clutching his neck, and refused altogether.

Then, she thought of something, her eyes widened and she couldn’t say anything: “This wedding dress… isn’t it for Yu Kou?”

Shen Xuan stopped circling the bend, nodded and said: “Yes. I should have married her and A Qi six years ago. Unexpectedly, there is a gap between Yin and Yang, and she begged me to make it up.”

Xiao Changning’s face flushed immediately, as if he had been slapped in the face, only to feel a burning pain.

“This is in my palace, to treat the abdomen of a gentleman with a villain…” She lowered her head and dared not look at him. After a long while, she said ashamed, “What a shame!”

“No problem, I like it.” Shen Xu embraced her shoulder with one hand, very strong.

Xiao Changning said again: “But Shen Qi is no longer alive, how do you get married?”

Shen Xu was silent for a while, before Fang said: “Shen Qi’s death, she knows better than anyone else, but she still insists on marrying him. Even if she can touch only a spiritual position and a piece of remains. “

Hearing this, Xiao Changning was both sad and ashamed. Sadly, the moment Yu Kou put on her wedding gown, it was also the beginning of her widowhood. It is ashamed that Yu Kou Zhonglie is doing this, but she is so affectionate, even jealous of the kindness that Shen Xuan gave her…

Thinking of this, she raised her head and smiled and said, “Your phoenix crown is too ordinary. My palace gave her a better one, plus four sets of gold and silver jewelry, and Ling Luo twelve.”

Shen Xuan raised her eyebrows slightly, and then smiled: “Okay, it’s all up to you.”

lobby.

Yu Kou didn’t accept the emperor’s favor. She still wore a light red jacket skirt with a low bun, and her expression was calm, not much different from working as a maidservant before, except that she was thinner.

Shen Xuan ordered people to serve dried fruit snacks, walked side by side with Xiao Changning into the hall, and said: “Your entrusted matter has been arranged by the Governor. It is suitable to marry on the Lantern Festival. How about choosing the Lantern Festival?”

“Everything is subject to the factory supervisor’s arrangements.” Yu Kou gave a blessing to Shen Xu and Xiao Changning, and then said, “However, today’s slave and maid did not come for this matter, but there are other important things to tell Her Royal Highness and the factory. Supervisor.”

Xiao Changning took a seat, and seeing Yu Kou’s expression dignified, he asked, “What’s the matter?”

Yu Kou said: “I heard that there is a maid named’Xia Lu’ beside the eldest princess, which is the work of the Queen Mother and Huo Hua?”

Xiao Changning nodded: “This is true, but Xia Lu has been dealt with properly.”

“When the slave maid served the Queen Mother, I heard that Xia Lu mentioned the factory supervisor to the Queen Mother, probably because she doubted the factory supervisor’s identity. However, at that time, the queen mother was too busy to win over Jinyiwei, so she put this issue aside for the time being, until the new year’s closing ceremony for the ancestral palace changed, the queen mother Down, this question should have been completely silent…”

After a pause, Yu Kou said, “Until last night, the more caressing envoy came to find the slave and maid, saying that the emperor went to the prison to interrogate the abolished empress Dowager Liang.”

The sun gradually faded, the cold wind was rustling, and a dead leaf was rolled up, and a good mood was caged with a layer of clouds.

After sending Yu Kou away, Xiao Changning looked very worried. Even the large table of food cooked by Chief Wu, who had returned from the tolerance, could not mobilize her appetite, and for nothing, it made the greedy Lin Huan cheap.

She thought about going there all day, and when she took a bath at night, she was still thinking about what secret the Queen Mother had told the emperor. I was so absorbed that I didn’t even know the water in the tub was cold. Thanks to Shen Xuan, she got her out of the tub and wiped it clean.

Xiao Changning lay on the couch holding the fox fur, while Shen Xuan sat aside to dry her wet hair. Xiao Changning looked at Shen Xuan’s serious side face, and couldn’t help asking: “Shen Xuan, did you say that the Empress Dowager has suspected that you are not an eunuch? Will she tell Huan’er this matter?”

Shen Xuan said, “If she is really suspicious, she will probably say.”

Right. Liang’s heart is like a snake and scorpion. Even if he is dead, he has to pull back. How can he easily let Shen Xuan go?

Xiao Changning twisted his eyebrows. She pondered for a moment, and then said: “Huan’er is suspicious. Most of the words of the abandoned empress dowager are doubtful and will only take action after many trials. In other words, there is still a turning point for this matter, and we still have time to prepare.”

Shen Xuan’s complexion did not change, as if the matter was not worth mentioning, she only carefully tucked her half-dry long hair into her palm, and let the charcoal basin next to the couch dry.

He said: “I will handle it properly.”

The brazier crackled and the candle shadow was dim. Xiao Changning looked at Shen Xuan and said uneasy: “It’s better to leave it to me. I’ll talk to the emperor in two days. After all, he is my brother, and I have a responsibility to persuade him.”

“Changning, leave it to me to deal with.” Shen Xu rubbed her face, with a smile but a smile, “I marry you, I didn’t make you feel sad about this kind of thing.”

With concern in his eyes, Xiao Changning’s heart warmed and muttered: “I want to do something for you, too.”

Shen Xuan hugged her into her arms, resting her chin on the top of her hair, her chest trembled slightly with a sullen smile, and said, “Leave me the day’s affairs, and the night’s affairs to you.”

Xiao Changning almost bit his tongue, “Night, night…what’s the matter?”

Shen Xuan didn’t speak, and followed the fox fur with her hands. She touched her tiny skin, smooth and tender, with the fragrance of petals after bathing, very attractive.

When he was emotional, his eyes seemed to have undercurrents, deep and charming.

Xiao Changning snorted, his voice trembled, and he held down his cruising palm and said, “Shen Xuan, stop, not today.”

“Why?” Shen Xuan’s voice seemed to be polished with sandpaper, and there was a hot and humid sound in her ears.

“It still hurts.” There is nothing to be ashamed of now, Xiao Changning confessed, “You were so cruel last night, I really can’t stand it.”

Unexpectedly, these words were too ambiguous and praised, and Shen Xuan’s eyes became more and more hot, and she could only hold her back and give her a deep kiss.

The tip of Xiao Changning’s tongue was sore by him, and he spoke vaguely.

Shen Xuan let go of her temporarily, took a deep breath to calm the heat in her lower abdomen, and then lifted the hem of her fox fur, revealing a pair of thin white legs.

“Open your legs.”

Open your legs…Last night he coaxed her Chu-Ye away like this, Xiao Changning said annoyed: “I’m like this, you still want to do it?”

Shen Xuan was taken aback, and then she laughed: “Don’t be nervous, if you don’t touch you tonight, just look at your injury. If it’s serious, you must get medicine.”

Xiao Changning let out a “wow” sound, slightly relieved, but when Shen Xuan opened her legs gently, she felt his hot gaze staring at her, her face was burning panic again, and she was holding her face sullen. Urging: “Hurry up, are you alright?”

“It’s a little red and swollen.” More than red and swollen? There are mottled finger marks on the legs.

Shen Xuan wrapped her up again, and kissed her on the couch, “I have to bear it for too long, and I will inevitably lose control for the first time, and I will wrong you.”

Xiao Changning showed a pair of shy and timid eyes from between his fingers, and said, “Forgive you reluctantly.”

Shen Xu’s eyes were full of her reflection, and she stood up and said, “I’ll get the medicine.”
