King's favor is hard to do

Can we stay together like yesterday? "

Li Guangning paused, he didn't expect that he and Du Yuzhang would go away casually, and they would arrive at the place where the survivors of the previous dynasty lived in seclusion - no wonder there is a custom of "biased empress" that is not common in other places.

The previous dynasty has been destroyed by Dayan for a hundred years, and the survivors have been passed down and multiplied for several generations, and they have long since become the people of Dayan.Li Guangning didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

He was concerned with other things.

——And Yuzhang really dressed in auspicious clothes, prayed to heaven and earth, and got married... Only by hiding from the eyes of the world can we really stay together?

"Bullshit!"

Li Guangning suddenly let out a low growl, his expression became even uglier,

"As long as he wants, I'll take him home and get married right now! No one dares to say no, no one dares to point fingers! This kind of ghost thing is ridiculous, don't think about it!"

"Young student, you really resemble that Master Xu."

Li Guangning spoke fiercely, but Grandma smiled sadly.There seemed to be a trace of pity and nostalgia in the eyes.

"The partial empress chose the two of you, young man, don't shirk it. It's just a day's dream, and in the evening, the ceremony will be over. You are still the same between you, there will be no change, and there will be no change. What long-term impact. But this day's dream will make that one very happy. Young man, is that cloak on him yours? It is the best black raccoon dog, and it is very valuable. You love him so much , don't you want to make him happy?"

"He doesn't like this nonsense at all..."

"That's not necessarily the case. From the perspective of the old lady, he was afraid that he had long been looking forward to such a nonsense - under the guise of nonsense, he could pretend to be a real thing that he didn't dare to think about or could not think about. .”

Another gust of cold wind rolled over the ground with snowflakes.Li Guangning was a little dazed, but Grandma had already gone to the temple.

【Li Du】Married by Order Part [-]

Li Guangning felt a little empty in his heart.He suddenly wanted Du Yuzhang to be by his side, and it was best to hold Du Yuzhang in his arms so hard that he could fill the empty space in his heart.

When Li Guangning stepped into the temple, he saw Du Yuzhang standing next to several Xi wives, looking at something in their hands.Du Yuzhang looked carefully with his head tilted, with curiosity on his face.

"Jade chapter..."

"Brother Ning!"

Du Yuzhang turned his head and smiled in the direction of the temple gate.I don't know if the snow outside the door is shining on his face.Li Guangning felt that his eyes were shining.

"Yuzhang, what are you doing? You...you come here, come to me."

"it is good."

Du Yuzhang, carrying a red hijab, happily came to Li Guangning's side.He unfolded the hijab in his hand—it was just cut from red coarse cloth, tied with yellow silk thread around it, and sewed some patterns of mandarin ducks on it.It looks very rough, but Du Yuzhang holds it in his palm seriously.

"It turns out that there is a custom here. When worshiping this partial empress, another marriage ceremony is required, which is to imitate the scene when he married Master Xu back then. It's just because he is a man, so both parties in the marriage must be men. Grandma suggested to me that our stay in Zhuangzi on such a day might be related to this ceremony. She asked us if we want to dress up and act out this marriage ceremony...Brother Ning, what do you think?"

He raised his face, the corners of his lips and eyes were curved, with a little look of expectation.Li Guangning's heart suddenly blocked.he asked in a low voice,

"Yuzhang, are you willing? Don't you think it's absurd, don't you think...inexplicable?"

"I……"

Du Yuzhang opened his lips and pursed them.He looked down at the hijab in his hand, and the excited expression in his eyes disappeared.When he raised his head again, his tone was as usual, and he said with a smile,

"What Your Majesty said is true. We have been outside for so long, and we are used to messing around. I... I also forgot your Majesty's identity. I shouldn't do this kind of thing. I was also on a whim..."

"Yuzhang, do you really want to go?"

"...I don't really want to go. If His Majesty doesn't go, I won't go either. Although it's okay to find two men at random, but if you don't pay homage to Your Majesty..." Du Yuzhang paused again, shook his head and laughed, "Of course, It's just a show, it's all fake, it's just nonsense. But even if it's nonsense, if it's not with Your Majesty, I feel weird. Your Majesty, wait for me here, and I will send this hijab back to them."

As he spoke, Du Yuzhang turned to leave, but his wrist was grabbed.He turned around in surprise, and saw Li Guangning looking at him deeply.

The tension on the wrist gradually increased, pulling Du Yuzhang closer and closer, almost crashing into Li Guangning's arms.Li Guangning's voice rang in Du Yuzhang's ear,

"Don't send it back. I am willing. Let's get married here first, as a preview. In the future, I will definitely marry you as my wife..."

"Your Majesty! Stop talking."

Du Yuzhang covered his mouth all at once.

"Your Majesty, this is just a nonsense, it doesn't mean anything. Just treat it as a dream, let's indulge once, have a dream, and then go on the road after finishing it...Don't talk nonsense, let alone think about it, Your Majesty. Can you?"

"Yuzhang, you..."

Li Guangning's voice was a little rough.he whispered,

"Yuzhang, I am the Son of Heaven. If I say I can give you an identity, I can give it to you. If you don't want it, that's another matter, but if you want it, I can give you anything! Why do you... "

"His Majesty!"

Du Yuzhang interrupted him,

"I don't want an identity. It's useless to me. If I want that, His Majesty asked me to enter the palace to be a concubine in the early years, why didn't I go?"

"At that time, I was the one who treated you badly, and the position of concubine was always a concubine, and your ambition of peace talks has not been realized. But now I can give you the second position, or..."

"It's all the same. I really don't want it. I just want my brother Ning to be by my side, that's enough."

After finishing speaking, Du Yuzhang stretched out his hand and held Li Guangning's hand in his palm.

"Brother Ning, let's go."

……

Grandma was very happy when she heard that Du Yuzhang and Li Guangning had agreed.She seems to have a very high status in this village, and she is also responsible for this worship.Under her command, the two were quickly dressed up.

Li Guangning is fine.It's just an ordinary groom's outfit. Although the fabric is rough, it doesn't fit very well.But fortunately, he himself is imposing, and when he wears his outfit, everyone's eyes shine.

On Du Yuzhang's side, as a "bride", those village women and aunts had to beat him down.Thanks to the auspicious clothes originally prepared for men, the size is generous, so he won't be particularly cramped when he wears them.It's just that the fabric, that style, is really tacky.Even Li Guangning frowned, feeling unbearable.

Du Yuzhang was also taken aback when he looked at himself in the mirror.He raised his hand to touch the slightly raised skirt and the crooked embroidery, and blinked several times, looking bewildered.

Li Guangning pulled him aside.

"What kind of clothes are these? It's too humiliating to you. I asked someone else just now, and I don't have to get married today. The ceremony will be held on any day for seven days. Yuzhang, I'll ask the guards to take your size and look for it in front of you." It’s a big tailor’s shop, at least it uses silk to tailor a wedding dress.”

Only then did Du Yuzhang come back to his senses. He touched the patch embroidery on it with his hand, and couldn't help showing a wry smile.

"Brother Ning, don't you think... In fact, the embroidery is so poor that you can't even tell whether it's a mandarin duck or a hen, but it's quite simple and interesting?"

"Yuzhang, are you kidding me? I remember your banquet dress in the past, but the embroidery stitches were scratched, and you refused to wear it again. At that time, I said that no one would look at it so carefully. , but you tell me—others don't know, but I know it in my heart. I know, I have been thinking about that thread embroidery all night, and I don't have any thoughts about the banquet. This time , you tell me this thing is simple and interesting?"

"I was young back then."

Du Yuzhang smiled,

"Plus, brother Ning was used to it at that time, and he didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth."

"Now I'm used to you too. Let's not wear this, what the hell!"

"Don't say that, this is an auspicious costume. Now we are a newly married couple. I just heard from them that this lady also suffered a lot in order to marry into the Xu family. Since I pretended to be him , you have to be like him——when he got married, I'm afraid his mind wasn't on the dress, but only on the sweetheart opposite."

As he spoke, Du Yuzhang stretched out his hands to straighten Li Guangning's outer robe, barely smoothing out the folds of that dress.he whispered,

"Brother Ning, I am the same now. Although this groom's suit is not very good, but Brother Ning doesn't feel ugly when he wears it."

"This... okay. Anyway, no matter how poor the clothes are, they are full of little jade badges that I would never change."

To be honest, seeing Du Yuzhang wearing such a joke-like wedding gown, Li Guangning felt very uncomfortable.But Du Yuzhang himself was in a good mood, so he could barely bear it.

At this moment, several village women came over with a makeup box.One of them took out a piece of red rouge and was about to press it on Du Yuzhang's face.Li Guangning blocked her hand,

"doing what?"

"Make up for the bride."

"He's already pretty, so there's no need for it."

"Oh, the groom looks at the bride, of course the more she looks the better. But this little official looks like a man, not like a lady. He always has to smear it. It’s good for a woman to look a little like her—otherwise, how can a man with rough hands and feet be his wife?”

"You are a real person!"

Another village woman stabbed her,

"In front of the partial empress, you just say this, and you are not afraid of being blamed by the partial empress?"

"I don't want to blame the partial lady! Didn't he give up those fame back then, never show his face in public again, and only entered Xu's house after wearing women's clothes all his life?"

As she spoke, her thick hands were about to greet Du Yuzhang's face again.With a cold face, Li Guangning blocked her again.

"Don't touch him!"

"Little gentleman, you are so unreasonable! With such strict protection, does this really mean that the little official is your wife?"

After the village woman finished speaking, she giggled, as if she had told a particularly funny joke.

"I'm the happy wife in the village. I make up all the girls in the village who want to get on the sedan chair. Don't worry, 'groom's official', I'll make sure this little official looks good. , more juicy and beautiful than a real big girl!"

"I think he looks good like this. He doesn't need heavy makeup, let alone look like a woman."

"But this is a ritual..."

"Ceremony? Isn't it a ceremony of worshiping God? If your partial empress really wants a bride like a woman so much, why don't you find a real woman? Get out of the way!"

As he spoke, Li Guangning picked up the rouge paper, stuffed it back into the makeup tin box in the woman's hand, and led Du Yuzhang directly to walk away.

When they got to the remote place, Li Guangning still frowned, looking unhappy.Du Yuzhang looked at him and couldn't help laughing.

"Brother Ning, I found that you are very angry today. Why do you get angry so easily? Is that why you don't like doing this scene?"

"I don't like you being rounded and flattened by them. Did you tell them to spoil my little jade badge? Look at the old lady's drawing, which looks like a monster. She still wants to torture you? Dreaming!"

The more Li Guangning spoke, the angrier he became, he stretched out his hand and pinched Du Yuzhang's face, and ruthlessly ravaged it.It is really "only the emperor is allowed to set fire, and the village women are not allowed to light lamps"-Du Yuzhang's face can only be rounded and flattened by himself.

But he didn't want to, the rouge paper was stained on his finger just now, and there was still a lot of red on it.This pinch left two round finger marks on Du Yuzhang's face.Li Guangning was taken aback, and hurriedly wiped it off with his palm - the rouge was originally used for this purpose, how could it disappear after just one wipe?Instead, half of his face turned red.

"This……"

Li Guangning had no choice but to wipe the remaining rouge on Du Yuzhang's other half of his face.Du Yuzhang just lowered his eyes, letting him rub the color away little by little.Although it is a wilderness place, the color of this rouge is really good. It is a little peach blossom red. After it fades away, it is like a little blood oozing from the blood of the flesh and blood. tenderness.

Li Guangning's movements became slower and softer.After slowly rubbing the entire face, he supported Du Yuzhang's chin with his fingers.

Du Yuzhang just smiled and looked up at him.

"Yuzhang, you are so pretty."

As he spoke, Li Guangning tapped the rouge remaining on his fingertips on the corners of Du Yuzhang's eyes respectively, and then used his nails to pick them into an upward hook shape, and then slowly rubbed the edges away.She was originally a stunning person, but the corners of her eyes were smeared red, making her even more charming.

If it is really the moment before the bride gets married, with anticipation and hope, and a little bit of shyness... I am afraid that is the appearance of Du Yuzhang who is smiling now.

Li Guangning's heart beat, and he could hear it clearly.

"Yuzhang, this will make your lips look a bit pale. I'll give you some lips."

"it is good."

Du Yuzhang raised his face obediently.Li Guangning stared at him, rubbed the rouge from his palm on his fingertips, and stretched out his hand.

But instead of touching Du Yuzhang's lips, he rubbed a layer on his own.Then kissed it directly.This kiss was soft but lingering, at first it was just a superficial touch, but gradually rubbed together, inseparable.When the two separated, Du Yuzhang's lips were indeed stained with peach blossom red, and his eyes were even more wet, which made people feel pity.

"Brother Ning, you...why are you acting like this all of a sudden. There are a lot of people here, even though we are in the corner, if someone bumps into us..."

"You are my sweetheart, and I'm not afraid of anyone knowing. So what if someone bumps into you?"

Li Guangning snorted nonchalantly.

"Let's go, this makeup is finished, let's go see when the ceremony will start."

【Li Du】Married by Order Part [-]

"Come on, bride and groom officer, first come and make a wish in front of the partial empress, and ask the partial empress to give her blessings, and bless this Zhuangzi with good weather and good weather in the coming year, happy events will come true, and all wishes will come true."

Following Grandma's whispered prayers, Li Guangning took Du Yuzhang's hand, and the two bowed together in front of the altar of the partial empress.Du Yuzhang looked up, and there was a statue of a clay god on the platform, wearing a red wedding dress. The craftsmanship of this country craftsman is really unflattering. Just looking at the statue's bright red and vulgar green appearance, it is impossible to tell the difference between a man and a woman.

The statue also holds two long stick-like things in its hands, which are also crooked and painted with shiny silver paint.Du Yuzhang took a few more glances, but still couldn't see what it was.

"This is the eccentric Empress Xi. The rightful empress is holding a lotus in her hand, and the lotus seeds are numerous, which means that she will have many children, but the partial empress is holding a pen and a sword in her hand, which is different from the rightful empress."

After hearing what Grandma said, Li Guangning looked up for a moment and asked,

"Look at this wedding gown, although it is red, the robe inside looks like a scholar. Before this partial lady followed Master Xu, was she a literati?"

"The two are classmates, and they are both studying in Taixue. Just looking at the future at that time, I am afraid that the biased lady is still above Master Xu. But the biased lady insisted on cutting off her future, followed Master Xu into the door, and made a living. A lady."

Grandma answered the two people's words, but her tone was a bit strange, as if she was a little regretful.She shook her head and said,

"It's the eccentric lady who chose this path by herself, and went to the dark all by herself."

As she said that, she looked back at Du Yuzhang,

"That young man has a somewhat similar temperament to Mr. Xu back then. But I don't know how you, a petty official, have a temper compared to a partial empress?"

"I'm just an ordinary person, how can I be compared with a god."

"The younger generation is right. Be a mortal, don't be a god. A mortal is much smarter than a god, so he doesn't have to suffer so much and suffer so much grievance."

She seemed to have something in her words, which made Du Yuzhang's heart thump.But she couldn't think about it carefully, and Grandma spoke again.

"Bride, come with us. The sedan chair is waiting over there."

As the grandmother said, she put the red hijab on Du Yuzhang's head.Suddenly lost the distance in front of the eyes, only a piece of red.

Du Yuzhang's heart suddenly went blank, as if the world had changed in an instant.He couldn't help calling out,

"Brother Ning?"

Logically speaking, when Li Guangning heard him calling himself "Brother Ning", he would never refuse to agree.But at this moment, there was silence behind Du Yuzhang.Du Yuzhang was about to lift the hijab, but was stopped by his grandmother.

"Bride, the groom will be waiting for you in front of the hall. Come with us."

As he spoke, a withered hand took Du Yuzhang and led him outside.This is Grandma's hand. Although the flesh is a little skinny due to age, it is unexpectedly strong.Du Yuzhang didn't even have room for hesitation, so she led her all the way out of the Xi Niangniang Temple and stepped into the snow.

He staggered and almost fell.Thanks to Grandma still holding him, he managed to stand still.

"Little official, the door of Xu's family is not so easy to enter. Being a wife is like drinking water, knowing how warm and cold you are. You have to go on your own for the rest of the journey."

——The Xu family?What does Grandma mean by this?The next road... isn't it going to sacrifice?

Du Yuzhang was stunned.But Grandma had already let go of his hand, leaving him standing alone in the snow.The wind picked up, and chills enveloped him from head to toe.The black cloak that Li Guangning put on for him was also left in the temple, Du Yuzhang was so excited that he couldn't help wrapping the thin wedding dress around his body.

"Madam, get on the bridal sedan chair. My lord told me to come and pick you up."

An indifferent voice sounded, not at all like a happy event.It seemed that it was not his wish to pick up this bride back to his residence, but he was forced to do so, so his tone was also indifferent.

"Where is the sedan chair...?"

"Oh." The indifferent voice laughed contemptuously,

"Ma'am, no one in your Zhang family is willing to come see you off, and you can skip all those boring and crooked ceremonies. Our lord was left at home by the master—the master said that since the master's wings are hardened, he dared to threaten the master with his own life. Well, the master will allow him to be immoral and marry a man back. However, he will never allow adults to come out and embarrass the Xu family, so we adults cannot come to pick up this sedan chair. Madam, you can get on the sedan chair quickly, and we are fine. Hurry up and bring you back! Don't delay outside for too long, you will be ashamed in front of the neighbors in Zhangzhou!"

The voice was far and near, but it rang clearly in Du Yuzhang's ears.Du Yuzhang couldn't help but took half a step back, his face under the hijab was pale.

...is this a ritual?What the hell kind of ritual is this?Why humiliate the substitute of the partial empress in this way in front of the shrine of the partial empress?

"What are you waiting for? Madam thinks this bridal sedan chair is not good? No matter how long you linger, no one will see you off, and no one will come to pick you up! Madam, will you come or not? If you don't, today's marriage will not be possible—Madam, you Don't say that our Xu family doesn't like you!"

As he spoke, the man's voice gradually decreased, as if he really wanted to leave.It seemed that Du Yuzhang was the only one left behind in the snow, he trembled in his heart, and hurriedly said,

"Don't go! Let's finish the ceremony quickly...I...I want to find my brother Ning..."

"Brother Ning? Ha, it's so sweet!"

The man's voice was even more disdainful, and with a bang, he threw something at Du Yuzhang's feet.But it is the pole of a sedan chair.Du Yuzhang groped into the sedan chair, and before he could sit still, the sedan chair was lifted up and started to walk.

Du Yuzhang was caught off guard and fell to the ground, hitting his head heavily on the seat.He got up, but he felt that the sedan chair was going faster and faster, and it was getting more and more unstable, and the route seemed to be detoured for a long time——

But the Niangniang Temple is only ten steps square, and even the entire village is not that big?Where is this sedan chair going?

He was panicked and stretched out his hand to lift the hijab.But the sedan chair jerked suddenly and stopped.

But I don't know if it's because I was cold just now, or because I was bumped too much along the way.Du Yuzhang suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and felt nauseous.He clutched his chest, retched a few times, his eyes went dark.

In a trance, I heard bursts of human voices coming from my ears.

"How shameless...to seduce the young master of the Xu family..."

"Master Xu has a bright future...but he delayed him!"

"Can't bear children... Delay the Xu family's succession..."

"Why can't you go out? Are you ashamed to go out? Just stay at home in the old fashioned way and don't cause trouble!"

"That's the lady of the prime minister's family! How can you be a concubine? My lord has been messing around all these years, and it should be enough! Why don't you stop him and marry the prime minister's lady back home?"

"So what if God gave a pair of sons and daughters? They are not biological after all..."

"It's him... who caused the young master and young lady to be ridiculed outside! The young lady cried so much that she couldn't eat, hey, what a crime..."

"You are not my mother! No one else has a mother like you! They say you are a monster! You are a disgrace! You...you...why don't you die and let my father marry another normal mother?"

……

After a while, Du Yuzhang couldn't sit still, and he half-kneeled on the ground.The red hijab also fell to the ground with his movements.Du Yuzhang was almost drenched in cold sweat. He barely raised his head, but his eyes were dizzy and he couldn't see his surroundings clearly for a while.

A deep and pleasant male voice sounded.

"Do you want to continue?"

"what……?"

"If you get married on the day you get married, you will know that you will spend your life like this-no one will remember that you were once a young talent, capable of literature and martial arts, and have a strategy in mind; no one will remember your unparalleled ambitions and ideals in poetry and writing; Everyone despises you, ridicules you, speaks coldly to you, puts layers of shackles on you, locks you in a deep house and compound, and cannot take another half step for the rest of your life... They set up layers of rules for you and teach you how to do it. But you will never be able to meet their requirements, just because you are a man. Even if you wear women's clothing, practice female virtues, even if you are cautious and compromise, but you can't bring him a son and a half daughter, you will always be unqualified wife.

Even if God gave you a pair of sons and daughters, you still can't have a good death if you try your best.

For a man to be a wife, you are a shame to your house, and a shame to your children.And the person who made a vow to join hands with you for half his life, because of your existence, everyone betrayed his relatives, broke up with his family, and was not tolerated by the villagers. He became a joke in his hometown before and after his death, and passed on word of mouth..."

"Who are you? Why are you telling me this!"

"It doesn't matter who I am."

The voice grew deeper,

"It's you that matters. You're the one in the gown, and you're the one in the sedan chair. As long as you stop here, none of this will happen.

He will not marry you, and you will not marry him.You can still live normal, mundane, promising lives.

Two or three wives and concubines, children and grandchildren around the knees, grand plans, everyone admires.

As long as you stop here, you can complete each other's life.This is the last chance, once you enter Xu's house, you can't turn back.

So, you, don't you turn back now? "

There was a long silence.Du Yuzhang didn't speak, and the voice didn't appear again.But Du Yuzhang had a feeling that the owner of the voice was looking down at him from a high position, waiting for his answer—the voice had already thought of the only answer in its heart.

--yes.Knowing that the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, I have struggled in pain all my life.Then why not turn back?Why continue?

—It's just love... so what?The two of them can even have a private date while marrying a wife and having children. The two men are not serious about spending their lives together, but it is considered a romantic affair, and no one will make things difficult for them!It's just love...it's just being true to your heart...but what's the point, what's the big deal?

——Turn back.Do not continue.

Du Yuzhang endured the dripping cold sweat and the surging nausea and powerlessness.He understood the implication almost instantly, and couldn't help but let out a sneer!

"Why do you want to turn back?"

"……why?"

The voice seemed a little surprised, "Didn't you hear that just now? Your whole life will be..."

"So what? Do you really think I didn't think about this before I got on this sedan chair—didn't he think about it?"

At this moment, Du Yuzhang seemed to have really become a "partial empress" - the man who once had a bright future, but now he can't even leave his name, and devoted his whole life to the one he loves!

"Do you really think that he doesn't know all of these abuses and ridicules, repression and misunderstandings? He doesn't know that he stepped into Xu's house on impulse?"

——"You underestimate him! What qualifications do you have to give him advice? Even if he knew the final outcome at that moment, he still wouldn't hesitate for a moment! What do you know? Get out of the way! Don't get in my sedan chair forward!"

There was a bang, like thunder on the ground.The sound never sounded again, only the sudden strong wind rushed into the sedan chair.

Du Yuzhang was dizzy from the shock, and fell to his knees again.The cold wind hit Du Yuzhang's body, blew his wedding dress, and even blew up the hijab that was on the ground, and it hit Du Yuzhang's face.

This strange gale came and went quickly.In an instant, everything seemed to be back to normal.It's just that there is no human voice in Du Yuzhang's ears, only bursts of suona playing festive tunes.

The sedan chair didn't stop, it was still carried on the bearer's shoulders, and moved forward unsteadily.And the sedan chair was also very stable, no one deliberately bumped it, let alone cursed and ridiculed it.

Even when it landed, there was a soft sound.Granny's voice sounded,

"Officer groom, let's meet the kiss."

Under the cover, Du Yuzhang could not see the scene ahead.But he could hear someone stepping on the snow, rustling.The man walked forward step by step solemnly, and opened the curtain.

"Jade chapter."

The man's voice was very low, but with a bit of blame,

"Why did you leave in such a hurry? It's windy and cold outside, and you don't even wear a cloak, so you're not afraid of getting caught in the cold?"

It's just everyday speech, even tinged with reproach.But when Du Yuzhang heard it, his eyes became hot.

"Brother Ning..."

"What's wrong?!"

Hearing that he was crying a little, Li Guangning was obviously taken aback.He hurriedly supported Du Yuzhang's arm, "Aggrieved? Blame me for calling you? Aren't I afraid that you will suffer from illness? Don't cry, you are really... next time I don't say you are..."

"no."

Du Yuzhang shook his head, but didn't know where to start.He sighed and opened his arms,

"Brother Ning, I miss you. Hug me."

"..."

Li Guangning didn't understand why.But he knew that his Yu Zhang was sad and needed a hug.

So he hugged him tightly, wrapped him in his cloak, and carried him off the sedan chair.

"This……"

The village women on one side were a little silly.How can the groom directly lift the bride off the sedan chair?Really, it's too unruly...

"Officer groom, you..."

There was one who was eager to speak.Grandma raised her arm to stop her.

"Let them go."

"But grandma, this is a sacrifice, how can they mess around like this? If the partial empress blames it..."

"Don't worry, the empress will not blame you."

Grandma smiled and shook her head.

"Your Majesty, he himself is not a person who follows the rules at all."

[Li Du] Marriage by Order Part [-]

First worship heaven and earth, second worship high hall.

It's just a hastily staged scene, without seeing the world, let alone the high hall.Du Yuzhang was in a trance, doing everything like a marionette.It was not until the last prayer that he suddenly woke up.

Husband and wife worship each other, and the wedding is complete.

If it was really a wedding, after the last obeisance, the two people in red wedding gowns would be a legitimate married couple, their lives and fates would be entangled together, and they would never be separated again.

Standing in the middle of the field, Du Yuzhang suddenly felt that everything was like a dream.

Even in his dreams, he never imagined that one day, he and Li Guangning would stand in full view of everyone, dressed in formal attire, and marry each other.

...Even if it's just a sacrifice, an absurd scene, pretending to be someone else, playing the role of a god and ghost.But after all, the person opposite is his sweetheart.Even if he knew it was fake, he was very satisfied to have such a memory.

"Jade chapter."

Unexpectedly, Li Guangning actually spoke at this time.Du Yuzhang knew that Li Guangning had always been dissatisfied with this ceremony.But at this moment, Li Guangning's tone was so solemn.

"After this obeisance, I will be your husband."

Li Guangning stretched out his hand, carefully holding Du Yuzhang's hand in his own.Xi Po on the side let out a surprised "Huh" again,

"This is out of order..."

Li Guangning ignored her and continued talking.

"Yuzhang, in my heart, my only real wife can only be you. Yuzhang, let me betroth you to me through a sacrificial sacrifice by this partial empress."

"Brother Ning, stop making trouble...it's just..."

"Don't say it's just nonsense. You should know that if it was someone else, I would never agree to have such a nonsense with him. Yuzhang, don't you do the same? You know in your heart how important this 'nonsense' is."

"I... I was just on a whim..."

"But I mean it."

"..."

"Yuzhang, promise me. From now on, you and I will live in the same quilt, die in the same hole, and we will grow old forever. Will you, Yuzhang?"

Li Guangning was earnest and extremely solemn.But Du Yuzhang didn't answer.Under the red hijab, his eyes were red and his lips were trembling...

How could it be bad?In this half of his life, the deepest wish in his heart, but he never dared to reveal the slightest wish... Isn't it to stand upright by his side, as his partner?

But he couldn't, and he dared not!That is the monarch of Dayan!If he really agreed, how would it end in the future?He will make Li Guangning the laughing stock of the entire Dayan!Isn't Master Xu and the partial empress a lesson from the past?

But how could he open his mouth to reject Li Guangning... He loved him so much, how could he wear this red wedding dress and say that he didn't want to marry him?

Li Guangning is still waiting.He only had Du Yuzhang in his eyes, and the thick tenderness almost dripped from his eyes.But the people around were getting impatient.

"Why don't you worship?"

"What are they talking about? Something is wrong..."

"Could they also be...that..."

At this point in the matter, those who are interested have already seen some clues.The eyes of the people around were all on the two of them, their eyes were strange, and their expressions were even more subtle.

Du Yuzhang wore a hijab, but Li Guangning did not.He can see the expressions of the people around him, but he doesn't care.

All he cared about was the person opposite him.

But Du Yuzhang kept silent.The smile on Li Guangning's face gradually disappeared.He held Du Yuzhang's hand even harder.

He didn't want to urge Du Yuzhang, and he didn't believe that Du Yuzhang would reject his sincerity.He thought that Yuzhang just needs time, so he has been waiting quietly.

But it was really too long.The noise in the temple gradually rose.Finally, Grandma spoke.

"Officer Groom, it's time for the husband and wife to pay their respects. After this bow, the wedding ceremony will be completed. Go and bow to the partial lady, and the sacrifice will be over."

Grandma was standing beside Li and Du, and she heard Li Guangning's words most clearly.But she looked as usual, as if it was normal for a man to confess to another man, there was nothing surprising about it.

Li Guangning glanced at her and nodded.

"Then please."

"That you……"

Grandma looked at the hands they held tightly.Li Guangning looked back calmly, and didn't intend to let go.Grandma suddenly laughed and looked away.

"Well, let's say goodbye."

So the couple, maintaining the peculiar posture of holding hands, bowed to each other.Du Yuzhang also felt that something was wrong, he actually wanted to let go.But Li Guangning held it too tightly.It was so tight that Du Yuzhang could feel his palms were a little sweaty, and even a little trembling—it turned out that Li Guangning didn't care as much as he showed.

"All right."

No matter how sweaty his palms were, Li Guangning's face never showed any panic.he smiled,

"The hall is over. Yuzhang, let's go and bow to this partial lady, and then it's time to enter the bridal chamber."

"Brother Ning, don't talk nonsense."

"How can it be considered nonsense? I married you. Shouldn't you enter the bridal chamber?"

He joked in a low voice, concealing the disappointment in his heart.Li Guangning took his Du Yuzhang and led him
