Chapter 9 The blood in the bridal chamber at night
Someone woke Li Xuan early the next morning and treated him like a drama actor. They smeared a lot of stuff on his face and asked him to put on the clothes embroidered with a dragon or a snake.
yellow robe.
After finishing dressing up and coming out, they saw Liu Bagou, Chen Butcher, Fang Dongquan and other leaders in the bandits' den waiting for them, and these people were all dressed up, even Liu Bagou's tattered Taoist robe
It has also been patched.
Originally, Liu Bagou's robe was not only old, but the cuffs had long been torn into strips, but now it had been mended with rags, but the patchwork robe looked a bit unsightly.
Others were much better dressed. For example, Fang Dongquan, the bandit leader, was wearing a brocade robe that he snatched from who knows where. However, the brocade robe obviously didn't fit him well, so it was a little loose on him. It was a hot day.
I also wore a fur coat so I wouldn't be afraid of prickly heat.
After seeing Li Xuan come out, Liu Bagou, who was standing at the head of the crowd, immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, today is a great day. I congratulate Your Majesty!"
After these two days of adapting, Li Xuan no longer cares about them calling him Emperor, Your Majesty, etc. Anyway, he is determined to escape from here in two days, leaving Liu Bagou, Fang Dongquan and the others to play their own tricks.
go.
He waved his hand and said flatly.
Now that he has decided to play a scene with them, even if he feels uncomfortable, Li Xuan still plays his role as the emperor of the valley. Otherwise, who knows what Liu Bagou will do, and who knows what he will do again.
He pulled Li Xuan and started spewing a lot of words about etiquette, dignity, and the way of a monarch and his ministers.
After this visit, Liu Bagou transformed from the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty into a ceremonial official and many other roles, directing the illiterate Fang Dongquan and others to organize many wedding matters.
During this process, Li Xuan inevitably had to be a puppet, running around as the protagonist of the marriage, such as worshiping ancestors, and then going to see Mrs. Bai. Li Erbi and the others even built a wooden platform to serve as the Temple of Heaven.
Li Xuan came to have a unique 'sacrifice to heaven' ceremony.
In this nondescript ceremony, Li Xuan did whatever Liu Bagou said, as if he was not the one getting married today, showing no expression throughout the whole process.
Mrs. Bai also looked on with cold eyes, her expression showing no joy at all for her son's marriage. If Bai Yunqi hadn't pulled her along, she would probably have squirted Liu Bagou to death again.
On the other hand, Li Xuan's sister Princess Huichen was very happy. She liked the excitement and ran around everywhere. When she was happy, she even played a wedding game with some children in the bandits' den.
With more than a hundred kilograms of fat, she forced a handsome little boy to be her husband, and shamelessly kissed him with drool all over his face, making the little boy cry and run back to his mother.
, life and death are unwilling to come out to play with Huichen again.
This little kid still doesn't know that the rebellion he is playing is to kill the nine tribes. Now it is so fun to play in such a lively way.
However, Miss Dong's expression surprised him. When the wedding team composed of a group of bandits arrived at the wooden house where she lived, there was no fuss or death as Li Xuan expected. Instead, they were wearing a bright red wedding dress.
She quietly got on the simple bamboo sedan.
On the other hand, the maid who was following her was crying, with a look of grievance on her face. Some strong old ladies on the side wanted to step forward and teach her not to cry, but the little maid immediately showed her white and neat teeth.
The old lady couldn't help but shudder when she saw this set of teeth. This maid was a dog. She was bitten by this little maid two days ago, and it's still hurting now.
So I couldn't help but give up my plan to step forward and scold her, and just pretended that the crying little maid didn't exist.
Li Xuan, who was riding on a short donkey, looked at this scene and was a little confused about Miss Dong's true thoughts.
Yesterday, although Miss Dong didn't talk much, Li Xuan saw determination in her eyes. It was a determination that she would rather die than obey. Originally, Li Xuan was worried that she would seek death and survive.
How come after one night, Miss Dong turns into a fragile little daughter-in-law who is easy to push around, and she looks like she is submissive?
Li Xuan's intuition told him that there must be some reason behind this that he didn't know.
It's just that Miss Dong now has a red scarf on her head, and he can't clearly see the expression on her face. He can't guess what she is thinking at this time, let alone ask her directly in front of everyone.
So he could only continue to ride on the donkey with a lot of doubts, and then let others lead him forward.
After wandering around the small valley on the simple Dahonghua Bridge, we soon arrived at the wooden house where Li Xuan lived. Next came the traditional wedding procedures such as worship in the hall.
However, in addition to these traditional wedding procedures, there are some nondescript aspects, such as the addition of a ceremony to appoint Miss Dong as the queen.
This canonization ceremony was even simpler than the one in which Li Xuan ascended the throne a few days ago. Liu Bagou was seen holding a piece of paper torn from an unknown book, and after reading a few words written on it, announced the canonization ceremony.
Finish.
Overall, this wedding ceremony was different from the traditional wedding in Li Xuan's impression, and it was also different from the ancient royal wedding ceremony. It was a mixture of the two, and it could even be said to be a nondescript ceremony.
This is not to blame Liu Bagou and the others. In the dynasty, it was child's play to be able to build a wooden platform as the stage, and they also knew that it was not easy to carry out the enthronement ceremony.
During this process, Li Xuan said nothing and had no expression at all. He consciously regarded himself as a puppet. He would do whatever Liu Bagou and the others said.
After many procedures outside were completed, the sky was completely dark. Liu Bagou and the others were already drinking and eating meat outside, but Li Xuan's business was not over yet.
Now he was sent to the bridal chamber.
Several oil lamps were lit in the room. Although the light of the oil lamps was dim, the dim light cast a different color on Miss Dong, who was sitting by the bed and wearing a red wedding dress.
At this time, when a woman next to him handed him a small wooden stick, he took it and used the stick to pick up her red hijab.
When the red hijab was lifted, he happened to see Miss Dong raising her head slightly. Under the dim light, her delicate face was like jade and like a pink doll, making people want to pinch it.
The eyes of the two people intertwined and collided in the air, and then sparks burst out, making Li Xuan feel a little dazed for a moment.
Because he had seen this look once!
In his previous life, he went shopping with the girl at the front desk. He inadvertently looked too much at the girl in a miniskirt passing by on the street, and swallowed his saliva unintentionally. Then the girl at the front desk puffed up her face and stared at Li with the same eyes as Miss Dong.
Xuan looked, and made a scissors opening and closing gesture in his hand, which meant: If you look at other women again, I will use scissors to click off your stuff!
Although the Miss Dong in front of her didn't make any gestures, her chilling gaze was so obvious that it was difficult for Li Xuan not to notice it.
If it were another situation, she would probably say: If you dare to mess around, I will kill you.
Fortunately, there was someone else nearby, so the man and woman only looked at each other briefly. Li Xuan looked away when he realized something was wrong.
After drinking the Hexin wine, Li Xuan could feel that Miss Dong was getting more and more nervous. Her teeth were biting her red lips, and her little hands were entangled tightly with each other, and they were a little white.
At this moment, the woman who was waiting for the wedding ceremony had already left the room at some point and closed the door.
At this moment, Li Xuan was a little embarrassed and wanted to stand up immediately.
But just when Li Xuan stood up, Miss Dong seemed to be frightened. She stood up and stepped back in a panic. However, she was a little anxious when she stepped back. She fell down with an "ah" sound when she didn't stand firm, and her left palm was scratched on the ground.
Skinned.
It was just as if she didn't know the pain after falling. She raised her left hand with traces of blood in front of her body and said with a panic on her face: "What do you want to do?"
Li Xuan was speechless, then pointed to her hand and said, "You're bleeding!"
