Hard to be a shadow guard

The various forces in Wangjing City changed, Xie Yiqian was busy with the errands assigned by the emperor on the one hand, and had to take care of the big wedding in the mansion on the other hand.

The emperor didn't ask for a good job, at least not to harm the people, and don't leave any excuses for the ministers in the court.

As for the marriage in the house, Xie Yiqian is obviously the most important person involved, but no matter what part it is, as long as he handles it, it will always cause nonsense.

It's not that he doesn't pay enough attention to it, but a marriage with countless gold and silver treasures always lacks a little sincerity.

The marriage between Suo Xingrui's mansion and Zuo Xiang's mansion was just the result of the family's game of marriage. Those who saw it didn't care about it, and those who cared couldn't see it.

In short, there is still harmony on the surface.

Time passed in a flash, and the shadow guards sent by Xie Yiqian to meet Xuan Ying never heard back.

But the marriage between King Rui and Miss Zuo Xiang's family came as scheduled...

With the din of gongs and drums, Xie Yiqian was sitting on a tall horse, his appearance made more handsome by the bright red costume, and behind him was the procession of welcoming the bride.

It is inappropriate for the shadow guards to appear on such an occasion, so at this time, the bearers of the sedan chair were replaced by guards of the palace. Looking carefully, all the bearers were the leaders of the guards who were well-known in the palace.

There are also the gongs, drums and suonas that can't be seen at a glance, and the many ornaments that follow behind the bride. No matter what Xie Yiqian thinks, at least in front of outsiders, they have given enough face to the third lady of Zuo Xiang's family.

As early as when Nazheng was in charge, countless people were envious of the marriage, and now seeing King Rui welcoming the bride with their own eyes, it is even more inevitable to bring up the old story again——

"This princess is lucky..."

"Prince Rui respects the concubine a lot. Looking at the scene, even the royal family is nothing more than that!"

"The concubine has accumulated great virtue, where can I find a good husband..."

"I just don't know that the prince will take concubines in the future, but he will still respect the princess as before..."

The common people who had nothing to do began to worry about the future for Princess Rui as they talked, and many words were not worth mentioning in detail.

It was at this time that Xuanying arrived. When he was pushed into the street by the crowd, it was already past the auspicious time for welcoming the bride, but the team of welcoming the bride had already started back to the palace.

Perhaps it was God's blessing that Xuanying did not die in the turbulent water of the flood in the end. After he had been floating in the current for an unknown period of time, just when he was about to exhaust himself, Xuanying suddenly saw the shore not far away. side,

And when Xuanying tried his best to swim ashore, he saw the officers and soldiers stationed on the shore at the first sight.

With time running out, Xuan Ying didn't have time to think about it, he just hid in the dark to calm down his inner breath, and then rushed out directly, before the officers and soldiers could react, he grabbed a horse and galloped away.

After several days of non-stop rushing, Xuanying finally arrived in Wangjing.

But just as he entered the city gate, before Xuanying had time to find out what happened, he was surrounded by the crowd and walked forward.

Up to now, Xuanying has just found a place to stay, so she can't stand still for a moment.

The noisy discussions in his ears made his head buzz, and the chaos of the words interrupted his thinking even more.

At the next moment, in the welcoming team coming around the corner, the suddenly louder suona sound instantly attracted Xuanying's attention, but in the blink of an eye...

Xuanying saw clearly the person on the front horse, his head bang loudly, after that everything became empty.

He almost lost control of his body, Xuanying could only stand in place and stare at the welcoming team, and then was pushed and swayed from side to side by the crowd of people.

That's my lord.

It is the master of the wedding.

The Lord is finally married.

A few words flashed back and forth in Xuanying's mind, for a while it was the master, for a while it was the big wedding, and in the end they were all overwhelmed by the bright red joy.

Xie Yiqian remained expressionless from the beginning to the end, but just as he was about to turn the corner of the street, his heart skipped a beat.

As if he had sensed something, he suddenly turned his head to look at the crowd.

However, Xie Yiqian didn't see even a familiar face except for the common people who couldn't tell who was against whom.

He didn't feel that his induction was wrong, but even though he turned his head and searched for a long time, he still couldn't find anyone...

The welcoming team turned around the corner, while blocking Xie Yiqian's looking line of sight.

And at this moment, Xuanying stood up from the crowd, with a blank face, turned around and staggered away in the opposite direction of the flow of people.

Thousands of people didn't notice the figure who had been there before, let alone Xuanying completely walked away from the crowd in the blink of an eye.

The welcome is still the same, and the joy is still going on.

At the end of a narrow path away from the crowd, a boy in black had been squatting there for a long time.

"Follow me." A shadow hit Xuan Ying who was squatting in the corner.

Tianren looked at the people curled up in a ball at his feet, and after waiting for a long time when Xuanying didn't make any move, he directly laid hands on him without any politeness, and suddenly pulled Xuanying up from the ground.

"It's time for you to go back to your residence and return to your life, and then the Lord will get married... don't make trouble." Tianren said, killing intent flashed in his eyes.

Xuanying was immersed in her own thoughts, so naturally she didn't notice Tianren's attitude.

At this time, Tianren didn't expect Xuanying to move by himself, pulling people away from the hustle and bustle of the street, and galloped all the way to the palace.

......

Prince Rui got married, even if the ministers of the court didn't care about King Rui's face, they still had to come to congratulate him because of the majesty of the left minister.

In addition, the empress dowager in the palace was the first member of the royal family to send a congratulatory gift, followed by the reward from the emperor.

Then, starting from King Liang, the princes and princes in the court sent congratulatory gifts one by one, and there was an endless stream of guests in Prince Rui's mansion.

When a couple bids farewell to heaven and earth, and with the sound of "entering the bridal chamber", the whole marriage will come to an end.

After that, Prime Minister Zuo accompanied King Rui to congratulate the guests who came to watch the ceremony, or to compliment or sincerely greet them, and the wedding banquet in the palace was full of joy.

At the same time, a flowing water feast was set up in Wangjing City. Not only Prince Rui's Mansion entertained all the people in the city, but Zuo Xiang's Mansion also divided rice and distributed food, and the whole city celebrated together.

When Xie Yiqian was finally able to get away from the banquet, the rest of the guests were left to the butler of the mansion, and the sky had completely darkened.

It's just that there are big red lanterns hanging in every corner of the palace, and the red candles are shining. Even if you walk alone on the road, you won't feel any fear.

But Xie Yiqian's footsteps towards the courtyard were still getting slower and slower, and his expression became more and more dignified...

When Xie Yiqian finally stepped into the courtyard, there was a big red happy letter on the door directly in front of him.

But before the happy word, the waiters had been waiting for a long time.

When Xuanying heard footsteps behind him, his body froze.

God knows that he doesn't want to come before the Lord on such a festive day, so as not to cause trouble to the Lord.

Unexpectedly, Tianren escorted him here directly, and said forcefully, "Your Majesty ordered you to wait here".

Xuanying stayed in the courtyard like this, and wanted to escape several times, but in the end they were all blocked by a little light in his heart.

He said to himself over and over again: "Wait, wait, you can leave when the Lord comes back..."

But when Xuanying turned around, the red voice that came into view again shocked him.

At the same time, he seemed to hear a "click" in his heart, what yearning, what hope, everything was wiped out in an instant.

Time is quiet, everything is at a standstill, and the dust...has settled.

The quiet small courtyard abandoned all the hustle and bustle of the guests outside, under the indifferent moonlight, Xuan Ying and Xie Yiqian's eyes suddenly met at one point.

Due to running around for days, the wind and dust on Xuanying's body could be seen with the naked eye, coupled with the injuries he suffered in the flood, his complexion was an unhealthy gray.

Xie Yiqian ignored all the embarrassment on Xuanying's body, he only watched Xuanying's eyes change from a glint of darkness to an ancient well.

Xie Yi's heart suddenly panicked.

This kind of panic directly made Xie Yi concentrate on thinking, but when he opened his mouth again, he blurted out a sentence, thinking and saying, as if he hadn't thought about it at all.

"It's all fake, you are the one I like the most!"

After one word fell, there was only endless silence in the courtyard.

Standing five steps away from Xie Yiqian, Xuan Ying didn't even react at all when he heard such shocking words, and didn't even move his eyelids.

And the crimson eyes, in Xuanying's eyes, there is only infinite irony, as if laughing at the long-term and meaningless love, and as if mocking the master's confession that cannot withstand scrutiny.

Xie Yiqian said "heart joy", if he had said it a day earlier, Xuanying would have been terrified and ecstatic.

But now in this situation——

The guests who came to congratulate him from the outer courtyard of the palace have not yet left, and the people in Wangjing City are talking about King Rui's big wedding. Even in a room not far away, Princess Rui who just passed the door is still waiting for her husband's return... ..

No matter how hungry and thirsty he is, he still won't compete with a woman for her husband's favor, right?

Neither can the Lord...

Xuanying's eyeballs moved, and he could see all the red in his eyes, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and a strange emotion appeared in his heart.

That's never been seen before, that kind of...

Disdain and even hate the questioning of the Lord.

Look, what a rebellious attitude.

Xuanying moved his stiff hands and feet, and slowly lowered his head, not daring to let Xie Yiqian see his expression.

After the silence spread again and again, Xuan Ying couldn't stay any longer.

He took half a step back, knelt and knelt, cupped his hands and said to Xie Yiqian: "My subordinates congratulate the lord on his wedding, and wish the lord and princess a happy marriage for a hundred years and get married in this life."

Xuanying didn't answer Xie Yiqian's words at all, but looking at what he said, he couldn't hear every single word of it.

This kind of reaction was expected by Xie Yiqian, but when it came time to face each other, no matter how many times he rehearsed in his heart in advance, he still lost all sense of proportion.
