Chapter 833 But seeing the new people laugh, then hearing the old people cry!
(Thanks to Lucifaro, the two Perfect Tsunami for their strong support, thank you. Today's fifth update is here, please vote!)
The invitation in front of me is so beautiful and exquisite. The bright red background color is paired with the double-happy characters in gold-toned style, and the font of dragon and phoenix dancing are particularly elegant and beautiful. But every time Murong Xue looks at it, she feels her heartbeat seems to be a little slower.
She was almost the Princess of Qin. She was beautiful and beautiful, a wealthy daughter and a noble lady, and everyone liked her. Although she had been infatuated and foolishly for seven years, she finally saw the bright moon when she was guarding her. The lovers finally got married. This waiting resulted.
Do you want to go to this wedding and witness the result of this beautiful relationship?
But is she going?
This invitation was not actually sent by Yu Youniang, nor even by Li Jing. I guess Yu Youniang may have only heard of her name and had no idea where she was, or did not want to invite her to the wedding banquet. Will Li Jing, would he want to see me?
This invitation was actually given to her by Yu Cong's daughter. Yu Qingwei met her during the Chang'an Rebellion, but at that time she was named Xueer. Yu Qingwei only knew that she was a singer and did not know that she actually had a relationship with her future husband. Perhaps because Yu Qingwei's mother was also the most famous singer in Chang'an, she was very close to Murong Xue. Until now, she still hasn't forgotten to ask someone to bring her a wedding invitation.
Yu Qingwei's wedding was actually with Yu Youniang. However, Yu Youniang was about to be the hostess of the Qin Prince's Mansion, the Princess of Qin, and Yu Qingwei was just Yu Youniang's dowry concubine.
Aunt Lan had long seen that she was uneasy these days.
"You should go!"
"What?" Murong Xue was stunned and replied concealedly.
Aunt Lan shook her head slightly and smiled.
"Aunt Lan thinks you should go to Hebei and attend his wedding." In fact, she didn't say anything. It would be better to meet Li Jing after going there, and then stay with him, and never worry about him all day long.
"That was his wedding, I shouldn't disturb him." Murong Xue replied bitterly. She couldn't explain why. Although she was worried and missed her all the time, there was always a hurdle in her heart. She felt that she was just a lowly assassin, and she had approached him with such a purpose. She almost killed him.
"No matter how noble or lowly a woman comes from, marrying and having children is the final destination." Aunt Lan sighed and turned around and left.
When a team of tens of thousands of people escorted the four Yu sisters from Tianjin Port to outside Yanjing City, Murong Xue stood on the tower of Da'an Temple in the suburbs of the south of the city and watched silently.
In order to welcome the four Yu sisters and their huge bride-seeking team, Li Jing personally went out of the Arc de Triomphe and went to the southern suburbs to greet him.
After Li Jing received Yu Youniang, he rode his horse directly and drove side by side among the cheering and celebrating along the way.
Li Jing was wearing a red robe, which was extremely bright. There was a peony flower on the side of the hat, while Yu Youniang was wearing a green hairpin tribute dress.
She is twenty-six years old this year, two years younger than Li Jing. At this time of the Tang Dynasty, she got married at this age and was considered an old girl. But today, Yu Youniang is particularly beautiful. The love she had been waiting for for seven years finally blossomed.
The black and oily black hair was tied up high into a bun, and he became a woman from now on.
A pair of willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes are particularly energetic. All the eyes are filled with happy gazes.
She is tall and slender, beautiful and full of nobleness.
When she passed by, people shouted the titles of Princess Qin or Princess Lingnan. Many people held their children high and asked her to bless her. There were also many children fighting for the countless roses and peony petals that the maids scattered when she walked past.
Yu Youniang's mother also came, and followed closely behind the old mother of the four Yu brothers, sitting in a wheel palace with ninety-nine roses carved. Each rose on it was made of gold and shining. Yu Youniang's three dowry sisters also sat in it.
As the luxurious wheel palace slowly moved forward, Yu's servants kept sprinkling brand new flying tiger copper coins from the car, occasionally including shining Tianlang silver coins and Panlong gold coins. The Yu family used a total of five million guan of copper coins for this wedding, which was compared with the time when Yizong married Princess Tongchang. When Yizong married his most beloved daughter, Princess Tongchang, and spent five million guan on the dowry. Today, the Yu family also took out five million guan as the marriage fee. It showed the world the wealth of the top family of the Tang Dynasty.
They would never greet me like this.
Murong Xue looked at the grand scene with some envy, and a sourness came to her heart. I believe that all women in the world are jealous of the bride of the Li family today. Such a scene is probably what all women expect to have.
She couldn't help thinking in her heart that if she had love for Li Jing, her love would never be less than Yu Youniang's. But Li Jing would not marry her with such a grand scene, because she was Yu Yan's daughter.
Looking down at the invitation she carried with her, the words on it seemed to be written by Yu Qingwei. At this time, she couldn't help but envy this lovely girl. She was only sixteen years old, and she was young. But when she sat at home, the world fell a rich son-in-law for her. She may not have imagined how happy she was now. So easy, she got an opportunity that many people would never dare to imagine.
Murong Xue was imagining what kind of reaction would Li Jing have if he met him at a wedding banquet? Happy or indifferent?
She couldn't help but remember that she failed to assassinate Li Keyong last year and was captured. It was Li Jing who exchanged thousands of prisoners of war and Li Keyong's adopted son for herself and Aunt Lan. At that time, Li Jing also asked someone to bring her a letter with his longing for him, hoping that she could return to his side.
She kept the letter with her, just placed it in her close-fitting clothes, and she had to read it several times every day.
But she can't go back!
Li Jing married the Yu sisters because he was a grand family of the Yu family, and he was the prime minister and three ministers, which helped Saburo a great help.
He married Yang Lihua and Qian's daughter because their brother was not only a disciple of Sanlang's name, but also his actual ally. He helped him balance the situation in the southeast. He married Wang Wanjun and Pei's sisters. It was for Duli Town. Marry Megan and Julie. Although they were the daughters of pirates, they also had great help to Li Jing in the early days. Xiao, Zhang and others were all like this.
And she is just an assassin, not a father who is the prime minister, nor has a top-notch family background, and she does not even have the ability to be like Gongsun Lan, Liu Yunniang and others. What she has is just a sword.
I am willing to walk in the darkness and clear obstacles for you!
Holding the hilt of the sword, Murong Xue's cold face showed a bit of affection.
These days she often wakes up in the middle of the night, thinking about whether her decision is wise.
With a sigh, she returned to the tower, took out the pencil and paper, and wrote a reply to Yu Qingwei that she was sorry for not attending her wedding.
She had seen him, and the purpose of this trip was achieved.
It is enough to see it from afar. She and him are people from two worlds, the king and the female assassin. It is impossible to get together.
However, when night came, she couldn't help but sneak into Yanjing City. Although the city gate was very wide open tonight, she did not walk through the city gate. Instead, she chose to climb over the wall, which was more difficult. While carefully avoiding the Qin army patrolling the city, she said to herself, take a look, and then I left.
She disguised herself as a maid from the Yu family and found Yu Qingwei's room.
Li Jing was in Qingwei's room. According to the etiquette, Li Jing could not meet the bride before the etiquette was completed. However, many people knew that Li Jing was not a very law-abiding person. At this time, there was still some time before the evening ceremony. Li Jing had just gone to find Yu Youniang, but what he got was Yu Youniang's rule that he insisted on not meeting in front of the church. So Li Jing had to retreat and check out the other three Yu sisters by the way.
Looking at the graceful and mature and wise appearance of Li Jing appearing at her door, Yu Qingwei's heartbeat immediately began to accelerate. This was the first time she had approached him so close to him since her father knew she had married him. In an instant, she didn't know what to say. She finally understood why her cousin was willing to wait for this man for seven years.
"Your Highness, King Qin." Finally, she flew into her cheeks and barely said, "You...you look so handsome."
He gave her a charming smile, "Miss Qingwei, you have been awarded the prize. You are very innocent, beautiful and charming. When you see you, you feel like you are drinking water by the spring in the forest."
"A beautiful loli." He murmured softly.
"What?"
"I mean, you sisters in the Yu family are all born with beauty." Li Jing said with a smile.
Murong Xue hid upstairs, silently watching him as close as he was, but as far away as the world. They were so close, but so far away. She just watched him tease another woman quietly, and then watched her being seduced by him, stretching out her jade hand, holding his arm and going out together.
The person holding his hand should be me, the person who is happy and joking with him should be me, that person should be me, me, me!
She sighed until their footsteps and laughter were gone completely. That person would not be me, and it would never be me. It was time to leave.
The bell outside the Yu Mansion in Yanjing City had already rang, and the Yu sisters were about to board the beautiful rose wheelbarrow, pass through the main street of Yanjing City, and finally enter the Forbidden Palace, where they held a wedding with Li Jing. Finally, they looked back at the lively crowd, and Murong Xue turned around and disappeared into the twilight.
The iron spear general Wang Yanzhang and the white horse and silver spear Gao Siji each rode a high-headed horse wearing red flowers, and appeared outside the mansion with a long wedding team.
Today, Wang Yanzhang and Gao Siji are wearing big red robes. Behind them are three thousand guards, all wearing the same brand new festive red robes, and even the horses they are straddling are in a unified big red.
Outside the Yu Mansion gate with the word "happy" was posted, Yu's bride-seeking team was ready. The rose wheelbarrow was parked at the gate. Four strong servants walked out of the Yu Mansion gate with the four sisters in the sound of salutes and boarded the wheelbarrow.
Chapter completed!
