Chapter VIII
In the imperial tent, the pottery was drinking a little wine, waiting for the news about Ma Dai.
Human nature is very wonderful. Shangguan Wan'er has the talent for persuading her, but she just said she was not convinced by Ma Yunlu. As Ma Dai, as Ma Yunlu's elder brother, may not be impossible.
Half an hour later, Ma Dai returned and stood in front of the pottery again.
"How is it, what's the result?" The potter put down his wine glass.
Ma Dai looked happy and bowed: "Report to Your Majesty, my little sister is very wise and has agreed to the marriage. Your Majesty can hold a big gift in the next few days."
Tao Shang smiled, and felt relieved, and even a trace of unexpected surprise flashed through his eyes.
This little lioness in Xiliang, unexpectedly, was really convinced and willing to marry herself. It seems that sometimes the power of family affection is more useful than the so-called system talent.
When he thought of the extremely strong and arrogant Ma Yunlu, he had to surrender to his own magnificence, and when he thought of the 1 additional force value that was about to be obtained, the Tao Shang felt relieved and couldn't help laughing.
After laughing, Tao Shang said happily: "Since that's the case, good things should be done quickly. I will perform the ceremony of accepting concubines in the army tomorrow. Ziyue, just wait to drink your sister's wedding bar."
"That's the time I have to drink him until he's drunk." Ma Dai also laughed loudly.
The pottery merchant immediately explained and ordered Zhang Yi and other civil officials to organize various gifts in the camp as soon as possible, and also asked a large number of fine wine and meat from the rear to reward the soldiers of the three armies and celebrate together.
At the same time, Tao Shang asked Shangguan Wan'er to go to Ma Yunlu's place to help her prepare.
It was the next day before I realized it was already the next day.
Zhang Yi has organized military weddings for the pottery merchant more than once, and she is familiar with it. She has prepared almost half a day and only waited for the evening to give a gift.
When the soldiers in the army heard that the emperor was going to take concubines in the army, they knew that the reward of fine wine and meat was coming again. They were all very excited and grateful.
For a moment, a rare relaxed and pleasant atmosphere spread in the army, as if it had diluted the heaviness and bloodiness of the war.
In the evening, everything is ready to stop, just wait for the auspicious time to come, and the wedding ceremony to worship heaven and earth is served.
At this time, Shangguan Wan'er pulled Xi Shi and held the big red wedding dress made by Xi Shi overnight and came to Ma Yunlu's tent.
"Empress Yun, the time is coming soon. Let me change my wedding clothes for you." Shangguan Wan'er bowed.
A hint of dizziness flashed across Ma Yunlu's face, "What's the Queen Yun? What are you calling me?"
Shangguan Wan'er smiled and explained: "The Empress Dowager still doesn't know anything. Your Majesty has already drafted a title for the Empress, called "Concubine Yun". Of course, I have to respectfully call Empress Yun."
"Concubine Yun, he is considerate and specially named the middle of my name..." Ma Yunlu murmured, with a little relief and touching between his eyebrows.
At this time, Xi Shi unfolded the wedding dress and showed it in front of her, "Empress Yun, this is the wedding dress I made for the empress overnight. Time is rushed and my skills are not good. Please forgive me."
Ma Yunlu gently stroked the exquisite wedding dress and couldn't help but be amazed, "This wedding dress is really beautiful, it's simply flawless. Did you do it alone?"
"It's my own thing, so I'll love it." Xi Shi was praised and looked very happy.
Shangguan Wan'er also smiled from the side and said, "I don't know that this sister Xi Shi is not only beautiful, but also has a pair of skilled hands. The clothes she made are simply unparalleled in the world, and each one is so beautiful."
Xi Shi felt a little embarrassed when Shangguan Wan'er praised her like this, her face turned slightly red, and she quickly mocked herself and humbled herself.
Ma Yunlu's eyes moved from the wedding dress to Xi Shi's face.
She didn't care much before, but when she looked carefully, she was surprised to find that Xi Shi was so beautiful that it was almost perfect. It really lived up to the name of "Xi Shi". Even as a woman, she couldn't help but feel a little moved.
"I heard that the emperor is also a romantic king. You are such a beautiful person who serves him. I'm afraid that not only the specialist Nu Hong, but also the lucky ones he should have been here." Ma Yunlu asked directly.
Xi Shi was stunned, and his face was blushing like a cloud of shame. He was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. Obviously, he didn't expect that this Empress Yun had such a straightforward personality and actually asked so straightforwardly.
"Empress Yun misunderstood. I am a humble person. I am a humble person. I am able to serve Your Majesty. It is already a great blessing for me. How dare I hope you will be grateful to you again?" Xi Shi sighed shyly.
What she said obviously denied Ma Yunlu’s guess just now.
Ma Yunlu didn't believe it, and his expression was even more surprised, "How is this possible? How can the emperor hold back with such a beautiful person? And you, I don't believe that you have not served in bed."
Ma Yunlu looked at Shangguan Wan'er again. In her opinion, with the frivolous character of the pottery merchant and the emperor's honor, how could he keep such a fat nest and not eat grass?
Not only Xi Shi, but also Shangguan Wan'er, under normal circumstances, should have been visited by Tao merchants early.
Shangguan Wan'er's face turned red, and she was quite embarrassed. She shook her head and denied, "Empress Yun is really a misunderstanding. Your Majesty really treats us with courtesy. Sister Xi Shi and I have no chance to be Jun'er. How dare we lie about this kind of thing?"
Looking at the two girls who had been denied, a deep strangeness flashed through Ma Yunlu's eyes and thought to himself: "People say that he is romantic. I heard that when he was at Yumen Pass, he even visited the queen of Cao Cao, Bian Di. There are two stunning beauties around him, and he can sit still without any worries. This is incredible. Who is he..."
Ma Yunlu fell into surprise before contemplation.
Obviously, she had thought that she knew Tao Shang very well, and that was just an arrogant, confident, domineering, powerful martial arts, and romantic and lustful emperor.
Now, Ma Yunlu suddenly realized that the image of the pottery in her eyes became blurred again, and she didn't know the pottery again.
"Empress Yun, the good time is coming soon. Please ask Empress to change the wedding dress as soon as possible, don't miss the auspicious time." Shangguan Wan'er reminded with a red face.
Ma Yunlu suddenly woke up from his thoughts, shook his head and sighed, thinking that he would marry him soon, so he would have time to understand who he is, and there is no need to rush to this moment.
At that moment, Ma Yunlu no longer thought about it, so under the service of Shangguan Wan'er and the two, he changed into wedding clothes, put on makeup, and dressed up.
In the evening, the good time has arrived and the wedding ceremony has officially begun.
The pottery was wearing a wedding dress made by Xi Shi overnight, standing in front of the tent with a high spirit to welcome his bride.
Accompanied by the singing of the ritual officer, Ma Yunlu, wearing a wedding dress and a wedding wicker, walked across the long red carpet with the help of Shangguan Wan'er and came to the pottery merchant.
Looking at Ma Yunlu in front of him, Tao Shang was filled with emotion, and a strong sense of accomplishment arose.
He remembered that less than a year ago, Ma Yunlu was his arrogant enemy, and he fought with him several times, wishing to take his life and death.
Now, it turns out that mortal enemy, the proudest beauty in Xiliang, wants to marry herself willingly, become her concubine, and serve herself for the rest of her life. No one except himself can understand the beauty of this strong sense of conquest.
"My beloved concubine, you are finally here." Tao Shang put away his emotions and extended his hand to her with a smile.
Ma Yunlu hesitated for a moment, and still stretched out the snow-white plain hand and placed it in the palm of the pottery, who held it tightly without hesitation.
At this time, she had the first skin contact with the pottery, and she took the initiative to let the pottery touch her.
The moment when his hand was tightly held by the Tao merchant, Ma Yunlu felt a slight itchy current, which came from his hand to his body and into her heart, causing her delicate body to shake, and ripples suddenly splashed in her heart.
The throbbing feeling made Ma Yunlu's breathing become rapid immediately, and his heart beat faster. Unexpectedly, his face was flushed like a tide, and his face felt hot.
She could only be glad that she was wearing a Xipa. The pottery could not see her shy look, forcibly suppressing her throbbing mood, and let the pottery hold her hand and both step into the imperial tent.
In the huge imperial tent, Liu Ji, Zhang Liang, Xiang Yu and other civil and military ministers, as well as Ma Yunlu's family, Ma Dai, had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing the emperor bringing the bride in, everyone hurriedly knelt down and congratulated the emperor on his great joy.
In the imperial tent, the Tao's ancestral temple tablets had been set up, so the Taoist merchant took Ma Yunlu's hand and, under the leadership of Zhang Yi, completed various wedding ceremony such as worshiping the ancestors of the ancestral temple and worshiping heaven and earth.
After the ceremony, Ma Yunlu, with the support of Shangguan Wan'er, entered the inner tent to rest.
As for the pottery merchant, he naturally placed a banquet in the outer tent, drank good wine with his ministers, and accepted the toasts and congratulations from all the civil and military ministers.
This time, the pottery merchants rushed to Bingzhou for thousands of miles, not only defeated the Xianbei, but also solved the danger of Bingzhou in one fell swoop and surrendered the Ma Chao family, but also wanted to hold the beauty back and conquered Ma Yunlu, the number one beauty in Xiliang. She was extremely energetic and extremely proud.
The Tao merchant was in a good mood, and he opened his stomach and drank with his ministers.
The pottery drank this wedding banquet until he was drunk until he had fun.
The generals of the outer tent left and scattered, and the pottery, who was smelly with alcohol, staggered into the inner tent with Shangguan Wan'er's support.
In the tent with the red candle, Ma Yunlu had been sitting on the joyful couch for half an hour.
On the one hand, she was very bored, on the other hand, she was uneasy, and was filled with unknown expectations and confusion about the wedding night that was about to happen next.
She had never been so nervous in her life. She suddenly realized that marrying a man and performing a wedding ceremony with that man seemed much more difficult than licking blood from a sword.
"Would the couple really be naked when they go to the bridal chamber? Does he really want to put a part of his body into my body? That's too terrible. I heard it will hurt a lot, it will hurt even more than being stabbed by a gun..."
Ma Yunlu was thinking randomly, and what the old maids said to her kept appearing in his mind, and he became increasingly nervous.
And the tension in her heart also reached its peak instantly with the arrival of the pottery.
