set of flowers

When the auspicious time came, the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion were not only unable to take time off, they were also overwhelmed with the extra seats needed for the wedding banquet.Some of them who couldn't sleep last night, while running, blamed the young master in their hearts for setting the wedding date too early.However, Hua Qianyu himself is completely unaffected by the busy atmosphere in the mansion. These days, he happily wanders around the mansion - wandering to An Mingxi's guest room, and then pushed out of the moon cave by the maid sent by Shen Shuyun to take care of An Mingxi outside.

Meeting before marriage is inauspicious, Shen Shuyun will not play around with Hua Qianyu.Just now, when she came out of An Mingxi's room and saw Hua Qianyu again, Shen Shuyun scolded: "People who are about to get married, still look like a child." Looking at the handsome young man in red in front of him, Shen Shuyun frowned , I thought: I have grown up.

When it was time to get into the bridal sedan chair, Hua Qianyu who was not allowed to see the bride said aggrievedly: "There are no rules in this marriage, why should such a trivial matter follow the old ways?"

"You... well," Shen Shuyun felt annoyed and amused, she walked up to Hua Qianyu, pushed him away, and said in a low voice, "My lord Chongli, he saw your ignorant manner, maybe you will Regret the marriage."

Hua Qianyu said complacently: "He can see my rudeness much more." There was obviously a hint of showing affection in the words.

Shen Shuyun was helpless, and asked back: "I can't wait for this time, can the prince expect you to be patient at other times?"

Hua Qianyu choked on her words, so he lowered his head and walked out obediently.Shen Shuyun looked at his back, covering her mouth and snickering.

Hua Qianyu suddenly stopped, turned around, and asked, "Does sister-in-law think it doesn't matter? It's about me getting married to the prince."

Shen Shuyun shook her head, smiled, and replied: "I watched you grow up since I was a child, and took care of you as my own younger brother. How can it be indifferent to your affairs?"

Her kind gaze warmed Hua Qianyu's heart, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth along with her.

Shen Shuyun suddenly wanted to touch his head as he did when he was a child, but now that Hua Qianyu has grown into an adult, she can no longer treat him like a child, and she can no longer touch the top of his head.

"You have been smart since you were a child, and you have been different from other children since you were a child. I have never had a friend of the same age. While I am amazed at your genius, I am worried that you who have matured prematurely are not as happy as you appear...I am just an ordinary woman, even if I'm 15 years older than you, and I can't think as much as you..." As she said that, the passing time in the past turned into the sentimentality of the present lingering in her heart—perhaps she is getting older, and she is obviously living well now, but when she thinks that she can't go back I went, but my heart was still empty.

She shook her head, shaking off her sentimentality, and said with a smile: "You must have a reason for making such a choice."

Hua Qianyu also shook his head, and said: "Sister-in-law taught me very well, and you have worked hard all this time."

Shen Shuyun was taken aback when she heard that, and then tears escaped from her eyes. At the moment when Shen Shuyun wiped away the tears with her hands, she regained her smile and said, "I'm afraid there is sand in these eyes... On a happy day, I'm doing this." What's more..." Her voice became smaller and smaller until it was silent.

——She is just an ordinary woman, how can He De be lucky enough to be a part of this family and be cared by them?

Shen Shuyun couldn't figure it out, but she knew that her husband who felt inferior had been giving him compliments many years ago.

Hua Qianyu reached into the skirt, took out a red handkerchief, and handed it to Shen Shuyun. When Shen Shuyun took the handkerchief, she realized that it was the one she embroidered yesterday and gave to Hua Qianyu.Inexplicably, tears fell more frequently, she lowered her head, not daring to look at Hua Qianyu.

She was originally a sentimental woman, and Hua Qianyu didn't find it strange that she shed tears suddenly.In his eyes, she has always been an object that needs protection, and his ideal wife since he was a child is also such a pitiful and lovely woman.Perhaps it was because of this that he fell in love with An Mingxi at first sight on the stage that day.

Shen Shuyun clutched her handkerchief, sucked her nose, trying to stop the flood of tears.She let go, raised the corner of her mouth and said to Hua Qianyu: "In these years, you seem to have changed, but you don't seem to have changed."

What Hua Qianyu didn't know was that she seldom shed tears because of grievances, and it was their tenderness that often made her cry.

"Is it getting better, or is it getting worse?" Hua Qianyu tried to wipe away her tears, but she shook her head and pushed Hua Qianyu's hand away - this is a gift she gave to the newcomers, and the newcomers all How can she use it herself before paying her respects?

"It's changed for the better," Shen Shuyun said, "it's more human."

"Then—" Hua Qianyu looked towards An Mingxi's door, "It must be because of Mingxi."

Shen Shuyun raised her hand again, pressed the corners of her eyes with her sleeves, and smiled through tears: "Yes, happy wedding."

……

Under the attention of all the people, the bride in luxurious green clothes was supported by the maid across the threshold, and she walked gracefully, her demeanor was no different from that of a woman, making those in the know wonder whether the person behind the round fan was An Mingxi.It wasn't until the bride approached that everyone noticed that the bride was taller than ordinary men, but the maids around and behind "her" were tall and tall, surrounded by them, from a distance, "she" was just taller than ordinary men. Women are taller.

Everyone was wondering, but when the groom took the bride's hand, the indescribable sense of disobedience dissipated instantly.Maybe it's because of the special atmosphere between the two, or maybe it's just because the groom is taller.

Hua Qianyu took An Mingxi's hand, and was about to lead An Mingxi into the sedan chair, but suddenly stopped moving.He frowned slightly, held An Mingxi's hand tightly, and held An Mingxi's wrist with the other hand. After verifying that the arm was indeed much thinner, he said in a deep voice, "You've lost weight." He It suddenly occurred to him that An Mingxi didn't see him during this time, maybe it wasn't just because of "rules".

If you lose weight, you will be closer to a woman - An Mingxi replied in his heart, but he could not speak, so as not to be heard that he was a man.

But his left hand couldn't move, so An Mingxi took out his right hand held by Hua Qianyu, patted the back of Hua Qianyu's hand, and urged Hua Qianyu to quickly lead him into the sedan chair.Hua Qianyu sighed silently, took An Mingxi's hand again, and carefully led An Mingxi, who was obscured by the round fan, to the sedan door.After letting go of An Mingxi's hand, he raised the curtain, and put his other hand against the top of the door to prevent An Mingxi from bumping his head.

Others were curious about what kind of peerless beauties could be selected by Hua Qianyu, and each of them stretched their necks, trying to see the bride's face clearly—there was a veil covering most of the face behind the round fan, but the clear outline was thin and not The shape is still visible under the transparent silk brocade.

"How do you look like a man?" Someone in the crowd read.

An Mingxi subconsciously turned his head to look at the source of the sound, his long and charming phoenix eyes slightly opened, and then turned his head back to the round fan like a frightened deer, lowered his eyes, looked at the road under his feet, and bent down into the sedan chair, for fear of being stranded again In a moment, he was seen as a man.

What An Mingxi didn't know was that when he looked back, everyone who saw him held their breath, and it wasn't until the sedan chair got up that everyone came back to their senses.

The person who said "like a man" received a blow on the back of the head, and the assailant reprimanded him, "How can there be such a beautiful man?"

"That's it." Several people nearby agreed.Recalling An Mingxi's glance at them, the more they thought about it, the more pitiful they felt, and they couldn't help but hit the man's head a few more times.

"Hey, all of you are endless—hey!"

In such an atmosphere, even if the other spectators didn't know what was going on, they couldn't help but come over and join in the fun.Of course, there are other people who are serious about discussing the origin of the bride——

"I said that there is no threshold for the young wife of the prime minister's mansion. Seeing that the bride is probably an orphan, General Hua married her regardless of her family status, tsk tsk tsk..."

"So what? Didn't you also like the girl?"

"Tsk, there is still a chance?"

"What chance is there? The general likes tall ones, but even a concubine would look down on her with her small body!"

"you!"

"The young lady is so tall... Maybe she is a barbarian, maybe he was a prisoner of war when the general fought."

"Prisoner of war? Come on, it's already a family misfortune to marry someone from the wrong family, and still a prisoner of war? A dignified family and a big family, don't be so confused."

"If it's brought back from the border, is it necessary for the general to go on a blind date?"

"Have you heard that any daughter in the city wants to marry high?"

"If you have a home, do you still need to leave your husband's house?"

"Maybe it's Changxi Courtyard... Didn't I hear that General Hua often goes to the fireworks field?"

"That's even more terrible..."

Covering his face with a folding fan, Hua Qianshu, who was in the crowd, listened to others' comments, shook his head, and was about to leave when Zhuge Xingyun grabbed his hand and asked, "Where are you going?"

Hua Qianshu dragged Zhuge Xingyun to walk together: "I can go anywhere, don't even think about me walking all the way with the sedan chair."

"Don't you stay in the mansion and wait for them to come back?"

"That's so boring—today is the Lantern Festival."

Hua Qianshu turned his head to look at Zhuge Xingyun, his smiling eyes made Zhuge Xingyun's heart skip half a beat.

"Five years." Zhuge Xingyun murmured, a smile gradually surfaced on his face.

"What did you say?" There was too much noise around, Hua Qianshu could only see his mouth moving, but couldn't hear what he was saying.

Zhuge Xingyun shook his head, walked a step faster and held his hand while walking side by side with him, asking, "Where are you going?"

Hua Qianshu withdrew his hand and took a step to the side to stay away. The disgust in his squinting eyes at Zhuge Xingyun was self-evident - he still cared about Zhuge Xingyun and Hua's reputation.

Zhuge Xingyun's good mood was not affected, he got close to Hua Qianshu again, but he didn't hold Qianshu's hand again, and Hua Qianshu didn't avoid suspicion anymore.

Zhuge Xingyun suddenly asked: "Do you want to worship?" There is no need for too complicated ceremony, just three simple bows... He also wants to be called husband and wife with Hua Qianshu, no matter who is called husband and who is called wife.

Hearing this request again, Hua Qianshu felt amused and asked, "Who?"

"You and I."

Hua Qianshu raised his hand to wrap his arms around his neck, pulling him closer until his noses almost collided, and said, "Children are the only ones making noise."

"What about my lord?" Zhuge Xingyun thought to himself, Hua Qianshu was the governor who set fire to the people who forbade the people to light lamps, and forbade him to make intimate actions, but he acted recklessly.

Hua Qianshu raised the corners of his mouth, raised his chin slightly, opened his mouth almost to bite the tip of Zhuge Xingyun's nose, and replied: "Your Excellency, go straight into the bridal chamber."

……

An Mingxi was sitting in the sedan chair, the sound of gongs and drums made his heart more and more chaotic.Regarding what happened after getting off the sedan chair, he thought he was looking forward to it, but at the moment, his internal organs are all agitated, his chest is very sore... his stomach is also uncomfortable, and he hasn't eaten properly for several days.

Just thinking about it, a hand reached out from the window and handed over a package... It looked like a snack.A piece of paper was pressed under the cross rope on the dessert, and there were a few lines written on the paper: the young master asked me to bring it; the young master said that the meat would not grow so fast; the young master said that if he didn’t eat it, he would let the ceremony end early.

End early?Is the wedding a child's play?The established ceremony is not at an auspicious time one moment earlier or one moment later.

An Mingxi opened the corner of the curtain, and saw Le Yang and Le Liyou walking side by side outside the window, Le Yang was panting and smiling at him.

Thank you for your hard work, he thought.Putting down the curtains, he looked at the dim sum lying on his legs, and after thinking about it, he untied the rope and took out the dim sum—it was red bean cake.

Although he was hungry, An Mingxi didn't have much appetite, but thinking of the words on the note, he picked it up and took a bite. Fortunately, the red bean cake was not too sweet and greasy, and it was more appetizing than he imagined.However, after eating two more pieces, he almost couldn't help but spit it all out.An Mingxi pressed his mouth. After a long time, the discomfort in his stomach eased a little. He suddenly found that his nervousness had subsided a lot. After his heartbeat calmed down, the voice in his ears became much clearer.He could hear the people outside the sedan chair congratulating Hua Qianyu loudly, and he could hear the children cheering with childish voices—"The bride is married!"

Well, he is married.

This is not a wise move, and it is extremely childish. An Mingxi also reflected on whether this decision was too hasty.He is a man, a prince, and if he marries Hua Qianyu, he cannot enter the Hua family tree, nor can Hua Qianyu enter his family tree; he is a man, he is a prince, and his real name cannot be written on the wedding invitation letter. Qianyu's marriage cannot be guaranteed in any way, everything going on now is like a child's play, and it may put him and Hua Qianyu in an embarrassing situation of being exposed.

He thought that it would be beneficial to set it up today, and on the grounds of being confined to the palace, even if he didn't come, everyone wouldn't be surprised—maybe no one thought he had to be there.

He raised his hand to hold his shoulder so thin that he could touch his bones, still not confident that he would not be recognized by anyone.

Since you are frightened, why do such stupid things as taking risks?Why look forward to the upcoming ceremony?Perhaps... there is no one in this world who is not stupid.The final effect of such a grand wedding is just to add a little talk to the long years spent together by the future generations.

Thinking of this, the answer is still unclear, but his mood has become much calmer.

After a long, long time, so long that he was about to fall asleep, and so long that the sound of the suona would become weak, the sedan chair stopped, and the moment it landed, An Mingxi lost all sleepiness in an instant, with goosebumps all over his body, until the flower Qianyu called "Lady" outside the sedan chair, and he didn't relax a little until he held Hua Qianyu's hand, but he didn't have the energy to care about the outside world's evaluation of him as a "male bride". On the "act like a woman" thing.

Step across the brazier, step into the familiar Huafu, walk through the long road covered with red silk and red lanterns, to Gaotang, see Gaotang.

An Mingxi heard Hua Jueming's voice, through the round fan, he could vaguely see the outline of Hua Jueming - he thought that Hua Jueming would not be willing to participate in this farce.In fact, the situation was not as bad as he thought. Hua Jueming was in a normal mood, and the guests all congratulated him with "a talented man and a beautiful woman", without any aversion to his background and image.Maybe it was just for Hua's face, but it also made An Mingxi feel a lot better.

An Mingxin, who was watching the ceremony from the sidelines, looked at the backs of the two, and said to himself: "Why is this woman like An Mingxi? Bad luck." After speaking, An Mingxin noticed that the surroundings suddenly fell silent. Although his voice was not Big, but abrupt, I don't know if it was heard by others.

"Brother Two Emperors." An Mingjing, who appeared at an unknown time, patted An Mingxin on the shoulder. An Mingxin turned her head in surprise, and looked at where An Mingjing came from. ——It turned out that the Son of Heaven brought the Crown Princess and the Empress Dowager to come, so it is no wonder that the chattering people suddenly became dumb together.

The protagonists of the wedding looked at An Mingjing, and were about to salute, An Mingjing hurriedly made a silent gesture and said, "I'm just here as an elder brother to watch the ceremony, not to ruin this wedding." The reason for saying "elder brother" is that he also came here for An Mingxi.

When Hua Qianyu said that he wanted to marry An Mingxi as his wife, An Mingjing completely opposed it, and directly accused Hua Qianyu of violating the principles of heaven and the norms, and was rebellious. But when Hua Qianyu said that An Mingxi also agreed, he seemed to be rejected A head of cold water was poured on it, but even if there was a fire, it would not start.

Majesty, what a humiliating thing it is to marry a man?An Mingxi actually agreed?I don't know what drug Hua Qianyu gave him.

Although An Mingjing cared a little about this younger brother and didn't want An Mingxi to be wronged, he couldn't bear to have a heart-to-heart talk with An Mingxi. After all, even if the estrangement disappeared, it still existed.An Mingxi gave up the throne, he thought he owed An Mingxi, but he didn't want to say that he was in his current position thanks to An Mingxi's abdication.Because his mood was too twisted, he never talked to An Mingxi about topics other than government affairs after that.Except for the court attendant, the two had almost no communication.

So, what capacity does he use to dissuade An Mingxi?Only at this time did he call himself elder brother, did he think too highly of himself?

It was too difficult to say, and in the end he didn't talk to An Mingxi, so he could only say to himself: He is not a child, he can make decisions for himself.

Ben didn't want to come here today, he didn't seem to bless the couple, and he didn't think An Mingxi would want to see him.However, after hesitating for a long time, he finally chose to be there, not to congratulate, but to observe the ceremony.

An Mingxi's round fan came down, revealing a pair of eyes, confirming that it was An Mingjing.The moment they met those eyes, An Mingjing couldn't help walking towards An Mingxi, and when he realized what he was doing, he couldn't back down.In order not to look stupid, he wanted to say something, so he asked in a low voice: "Is it okay?" Almost subconsciously, he asked this sentence that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

An Mingxi froze for a moment, nodded, and grabbed Hua Qianyu's sleeve.

Yes, because it is him, so it is possible.

……

Red silk and satin are all over Huafu, and the red light from the lanterns matches the sunset in the sky.

Ordering his servants to wait in front of the dormitory, Hua Qianyu pushed open the door with the word "囍", walked in and turned a corner, bypassing the screen engraved with golden dragons, colorful phoenixes and two immortals, and saw Zheng Zheng An Mingxi was sitting under the red tent, and the red bed was sprinkled with five-color fruits that symbolize the birth of a child. Hua Qianyu bent down with a smile, and whispered in An Mingxi's ear: "I've been waiting, my wife."

Seeing that there was no follower behind him, An Mingxi sighed and said: "If you don't like to follow the old ways, why bother to get married." The ceremony is not over yet.

Hua Qianyu straightened up, stretched out his hand, and replied, "I don't think you like that kind of excitement."

An Mingxi held Hua Qianyu's hand and stood up: "Yes." Ren Huaqianyu led him out of the screen.

Hua Qianyu stopped in front of the round table, faced him, raised his hand, kissed the back of his fingers, and said, "I like the part of worshiping the hall." Under the witness of everyone, signed the lifetime contract.

Hua Qianyu clapped his hands and shouted: "Come in." The servants outside the door carried plates of food, stepped into the bridal chamber with the wide open door in an orderly manner, served hot dishes on the table, and then quietly retreated.The last two brought a mandarin duck jug, wine glasses, red string, and red scissors, and they also retreated without saying much.

After closing the door, An Mingxi sighed again and said, "You, don't mess around."

Hua Qianyu took off An Mingxi's veil and replied: "The night is still long, it is important to fill your stomach."

At some point, An Mingxi had already removed her make-up.

"You don't worry about important things, just let me eat." An Mingxi's eyes swept over Hua Qianyu, and landed on the food.

Hua Qianyu looked at the helpless expressions of the people around him, and solemnly sighed: "Madam is so beautiful."

"Don't call me madam," An Mingxi lowered his eyes, "Do you look like a woman?"

"Ok?"

"Do I look like a woman?" He thought that in Hua Qianyu's heart he was a weak and fragile person.

"If it refers to a 'woman' in the world, it must be different."

"What about women outside the secular world?"

"It's secular that a man can't marry a man, but even if you and I get married, we're still dignified men. Who can define men and women outside the secular world? The difference between a woman and a man is nothing more than the body, and Mingxi is a man, inside and out. Both. I cherish you not because you are like a woman, but because I adore you, whether you are male or female."

An Mingxi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said, "You've always been good at talking."

"But I did as much as I said." Hua Qianyu picked up the chopsticks, put the food into his bowl, and signaled An Mingxi to eat quickly.

An Mingxi looked at the dishes in the bowl, the corners of his mouth raised higher and higher, and finally he couldn't help laughing.Hua Qianyu propped her face, quietly admiring An Mingxi who rarely smiled so presumptuously.

After a while, An Mingxi gradually stopped laughing, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said: "I'm not a child anymore, why do I still have to play tricks like a child?" Say it yourself.

Hua Qianyu knew what he meant, so she met his eyes, intending to let An Mingxi see his sincerity.He said: "It's not a play, I married you because I want to be your husband and accompany you until you die." He took An Mingxi's left hand and couldn't help sighing: "You've lost weight."

An Mingxi ignored his last words, looked at the hands they shook, and said, "I don't need this ceremony, I will be here."

"Well, I've wronged you...I regret it a little now." Hua Qianyu thought that if he hadn't made such a fuss, An Mingxi wouldn't have allowed himself to become skinny in just ten days.

An Mingxi frowned upon hearing this, and said threateningly: "Don't say you regret it."

Seeing this, Hua Qianyu felt even more cute, and couldn't help rubbing his hand on her face, and then smiled contentedly.

When she couldn't see An Mingxi, Hua Qianyu yearned for a skin-to-skin relationship with An Mingxi all the time, and her emotions were surging. She thought that she would be unable to resist eating An Mingxi up.However, patience was not as hard as he thought, just holding hands, his restless heart calmed down a lot.

An Mingxi was still hungry, he wanted to fill An Mingxi's stomach first.He put down his hand and urged An Mingxi to eat his dinner.

An Mingxi was stared at by him, put down the bowl and chopsticks after a few mouthfuls, and said, "I usually eat, but you are exaggerating."

"Don't eat?"

An Mingxi shook his head.

"Eat some more, the night is still long."

An Mingxi shook his head again, paused, and suddenly said: "When I was alive, no one knew about you and me. After a hundred years, only empty shells and bones..." He didn't go on, because he didn't know what he wanted to express—— Since Hua Qianyu was not allowed to regret, why would he complain about it again?

Hua Qianyu put An Mingxi's hand under her lips, kissed his palm, and said: "It has nothing to do with others, this is our wedding—otherwise, it's up to people to tell the truth, let them know. The story is told by the historian." Written and sung by later generations, Qianyu gained the reputation of 'Beloved Wife'."

An Mingxi was silent for a moment, and said decisively, "No."

……

Many days later, rumors suddenly spread in the capital that the bride Hua Qianyu married was actually An Mingxi.

When Ouyang Shuo told Hua Qianyu about this as a joke, he guessed, "It must be Prince Kang's mouth before the hall visit, which made people speculate for no reason...the people present are all famous people. It's spread far and wide, it's really..."

Hua Qianyu shook his head with a relaxed expression, apparently not taking what Ouyang Shuo said at ease."It has nothing to do with Prince Kang," he said.

"Do you know who made the rumor?"

Hua Qianyu narrowed her peach blossom eyes slightly, and replied, "Me."

"you?"

Hua Qianyu was silent, but smiled meaningfully.

Realizing what Hua Qianyu said, Ouyang Shuo was stunned, and after a while he laughed helplessly: "Could it be that my sister-in-law is really a virtuous prince?" He only thought Hua Qianyu was joking.

Hua Qianyu leaned back and said casually, "Who knows?"

His eyes with drooping eyelids cast behind Ouyang Shuo, seemingly thoughtful.Soon, there were more figures in the field of vision. Seeing the familiar exquisite jade ball on the waist of the man, Hua Qianyu raised his eyes—it was An Mingxi.
