The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 100

After the first lunar month, the weather is getting warmer and warmer, and all kinds of winter jasmine flowers and trees are coming to life one after another. In the beautiful spring, the soldiers from the Northern Expedition have returned.

After returning to the capital, go to the palace to report to the king. After finishing the business, all the generals will go back to their homes.

Outside the gate of Marquis Anxi's mansion, there was already a group of people standing, and everyone was looking forward to it, only waiting for the young master who had returned from victory.After a while, I saw a fast horse coming from a distance, when it got close, the young man flew off the horse, everyone recognized that it was Qin Yuan.

The son whom I hadn't seen for a long time called "Mother" first, and Mrs. Qin was both sad and happy, and she cried for a while in front of the people in the house.Qin Yuan was also full of guilt towards his mother, and when his mother calmed down a little, he knelt down and kowtowed heavily to his parents.

As the saying goes, if parents are alive, they don’t travel far. In terms of filial piety, he should naturally stay by his parents’ side, marry a wife and have children to support his parents.But since he is a general, he is responsible for defending his family and the country, so when the world needs him, he can only give up his filial piety and go to battle to kill the enemy, and walk the road that his fathers have walked.

But now it's all right, since he has returned safely, he can be a dutiful son.

As soon as Qin Yuan entered the door, the convoy of rewards from the palace arrived, and a total of 1000 taels of gold landed on the ground, making the Qin family mansion that had just been rebuilt even more brilliant, and amazed the whole house with admiration.

This was the honor he deserved, but when everyone in the mansion was overjoyed, he solemnly said to his parents: "Father, mother, although my son has made great contributions to this great victory, the other soldiers also have contributed. This gold should be shared among all.”

As soon as this remark came out, someone in the mansion immediately smacked their lips. Mr. Xindao is really not in charge of the family and doesn't know about Chai Migui. With so much gold in front of him, without even blinking an eyelid, it is about to be distributed?
The Qin couple agreed very much, especially Qin Mu, although he only simply said hello, he secretly sighed in his heart that his son had really grown a lot, such generosity, in fact, he is very famous.

Qin Yuan left for the expedition a few years ago and delayed the Chinese New Year. Now that he is back, the family finally had a good reunion dinner.

At the dinner table, Mrs. Qin said: "It's just right to be back now, the marriage has not been delayed, there are still ten days, you should prepare well, it's not easy for the girl from the Luo family to wait for you for so long, you have to treat her well after marriage!"

Qin Yuan answered yes.

The younger sister, Qin Lian, covered her mouth and laughed. Her parents and elder brother looked at her meaningfully. When the 15-year-old girl saw the eyes of her relatives, she immediately lowered her head and ate obediently.

Seeing this, Mrs. Qin sighed: "You are not too young, and you should act like a lady. Wait a few days for your sister-in-law to come in, you must be more dignified, and you must not let others laugh at you!"

Qin Lian said yes, but she didn't think so in her heart.Luo Shu is Shen Ting's cousin. They used to meet each other often at their grandfather's house. This new sister-in-law is so nice, she doesn't believe that people will laugh at her!
In the blink of an eye, it was February 26, and Qin Yuan got married.

It was rare for Qin Mu to take a day off from the court when his only son got married. Qin Yuan was the groom's official, so naturally he didn't have to go to court again.

After Si time, guests came to the door one after another. Except for the relatives of the Qin family, they were all friends of the father and son. Because the Qin family was a family of military generals, most of the friends were warriors, and of course there were also civil servants. When the spring breeze is in full swing, there are many people in the court who want to curry favor, so naturally they will not let go of such an excellent opportunity today.

Estimated that it was about the same time, surrounded by a group of friends, Qin Yuan in a happy attire stepped on a tall horse and set off to Luo Mansion to welcome his relatives.

At this time, Luo Shu in the boudoir was anxiously and excitedly waiting for her groom.

This day is finally here.

It has been five years since she fell in love with him when she was 13 years old. Her love for him has grown with her age. Today, her dream is finally coming true.

She was really glad that she had taken the initiative that year and finally won over Qin Yuan as a wishful man. Although the marriage was late for more than half a year, it was fortunate that he had achieved success and she was about to consummate it now.The girl looked at the beautiful face in the mirror again, put on the red hijab amidst the praises of the maidservants, and waited for her beloved.

About two quarters of an hour later, the sound of firecrackers sounded, and the Luo Mansion ushered in a handsome and handsome groom.

Although he was always reluctant to give up his daughter, seeing how good his son-in-law is, the Luos and his wife were not so bitter. The Luo family is a scholarly family, and the relatives are also very well-educated, so Qin Yuan welcomed the bride smoothly. .

The wedding sedan chair was loaded with the young girl's beautiful longing, and Qin Yuan led his bride back to his home.

After arriving at the Qin Mansion, after the wedding ceremony has passed, the couple enters the bridal chamber together.

This is the courtyard specially prepared by his parents for Qin Yuan, and it is also the living place of the young couple from now on.Stepping on the red carpet and passing through the moon gate, the bride and groom walked into their new house amidst the noise of joy.

A roomful of female relatives and friends had already been waiting for them here. Seeing the newly paved rooms everywhere, Qin Yuan suddenly felt nervous.

The bride had already sat upright by the bed, and the bridal mother had also presented the wedding scale, but he was trembling slightly when he picked up one end of the wedding scale.

From early today until now, he has been acting according to other people's arrangements.When welcoming the bride, saluting, and now entering the bridal chamber, there are people who remind him, but now looking at the bride sitting by the bed, he really realizes that he is married.

Although the bride is not the one in his heart, she is also the one he decides to marry. He used to think that getting married is just a formality, and he can do it after others have gone through it. But now that he is holding a wedding scale, he suddenly has a sense of responsibility. Great feeling.

From today onwards, this is his wife, he must treat her well and forget about the person in his heart.

"General, the auspicious time has come, quickly take off your hijab and take a look at your bride!"

Xi Niang reminded softly beside her with a smile.

After two battles in succession, he was promoted to a noble along the way. The 23-year-old young man now has a more resounding title. People inside and outside the house no longer call him "Mr. Qin" when they see him.Instead, he politely called him "General".

Luo Shu under the red hijab was especially relieved when she heard this.

"Okay." Qin Yuan came back to his senses, answered, and then gently picked up the red handkerchief on Luo Shu's head with a wedding scale, a gust of fragrant wind blew, and his bride bloomed in front of everyone.

"Sister is so beautiful!" Shen Ting exclaimed in a low voice.

Qin Lian beside her immediately corrected her, "No, from today onwards, I will be called 'sister-in-law'."

The conversations of the girls caught my ears, and Luo Shu shyly bent her lips, making her face even more beautiful after putting on makeup.

Not only the two girls, but also the rest of the female relatives praised her one after another, especially Shen Ting's mother, Luo Shi, who was heartfelt.The two children Qin Yuan and Luo Shu were brought up under her watch. In her aunt and aunt's opinion, the two were the best match for male talent and female appearance. But it is really a match made in heaven that is hard to find even with a lantern.

The shy beauty came into view, and Qin Yuan was slightly taken aback.I have to admit that Luo Shu is indeed beautiful, especially today when she likes to wear red makeup, like a bright cuckoo.In an instant, he remembered the words she said she would wait for him when they met last time, and he suddenly felt that it was a blessing to have such a knowledgeable wife by his side in this life.

The bride amazed everyone in the room, and the joy and noise in the yard became more lively. There were still many ceremonies to come, and the bridesmaids hurried forward to present fine wine and said: "Please invite the two newlyweds to drink together and become one from now on. never separate."

Qin Yuan took the wine glass, paused for a moment, then stretched out his hand to Luo Shu, Luo Shu obediently took it, smiled shyly again, then joined hands with her husband, and drank the fine wine.

The long-awaited ceremony, the long-awaited person, although there is only a small cup of fine wine, but the bride is already satisfied and drunk.

After taking off the hijab and drinking the wine, the ceremony in the bridal chamber came to an end temporarily. Qin Yuan simply bid farewell to the female guests and went to the front yard, where there are still many guests to entertain. Stepping into the bridal chamber, I am afraid it will be night.

At the end of the warm spring, apricot blossoms fell all over the Yufu Palace.

The dinner in the hall was set on the table, Ruyue approached the couple who were playing in the courtyard, and said: "Master, the dinner is ready."

Hearing this, before Chu Xue could say anything in the future, the little man let out a soft voice, "Fanfan, mother, let's eat."

Chu Xue smiled and said softly, "Le'er hungry? Come on, let's go eat."

The little man took his mother's hand, and the mother and daughter walked into the hall.

After washing his hands, he sat down at the table, the little man looked at the empty seat beside him, looked at his mother suspiciously, and asked, "Where's father?"

While tying the veil on the little man, Chu Xue replied, "Father is very busy today, so he won't have dinner with us. He will come over after dinner."

Just as he was talking, he saw someone coming in from the courtyard. Yanling took a look and found that it was Liang Xi, so he reminded Chu Xue, "Master, Mr. Liang is here."

Chu Xue raised her head, and saw Liangxi approaching. She smiled and bowed to her, and said, "Greetings to your majesty. The servant is here to pass on the emperor's orders. Please make some preparations for your majesty. After dinner, the emperor will take you Go out of the palace."

"Out of the palace?"

Today is not a festival, why did he think of going out of the palace?Chu Xue said unexpectedly: "I don't know why the emperor wants to leave the palace?"

The smile on Liangxi's face didn't decrease by half, and he reminded her: "Your foster brother Anxihou Shizi is getting married today, don't you remember?"

Chu Xue paused, and after Jing Liangxi reminded her, she finally remembered.

I accidentally mentioned it to him this morning, saying that I haven't seen my relatives at home for a long time, and I miss them a little.

Although mother could come to the palace from time to time, father and elder brother had almost no chance to meet her. In fact, she just said casually, but he didn't expect that he would listen to her.

Seeing her thinking about it, Liangxi further explained: "The emperor knows that you miss your relatives. Today, the Marquis of Anxi is holding a happy event, and Grand Master Chu's family will definitely be there in person. The emperor wants to accompany you out to relax, and also to comfort your mother's concern for your relatives."

Liang Xi is right, she is now a noble concubine, if she wants to go home to visit her relatives, she must first ask Qin Tianjian to watch over her for a few days, and then put on a guard of honor of thousands of people to mobilize the teachers, so that the relatives in Chu's mansion will not live in peace .If I can meet my parents, brother and sister-in-law in the Qin Mansion in the name of drinking wedding wine today, it will save a lot of trouble, it is really a good idea.

As the great eunuch in front of the imperial court, it is natural to think of everything for the sake of the master. The king originally wanted to make the beauties happy. He said a few more good words now to make the imperial concubine and empress more happy. When the king sees him later, he must be happier , This can be regarded as his small contribution!

Sure enough, the beauty in front of the table was really happy, and even he felt like a spring breeze when he saw it.Chu Xue said in a harmonious voice: "Eunuch Lao Liang is here to take a walk, and I will make good preparations in a while."

Liangxi let out a sigh, then laughed again: "The emperor also said that you should take your time to dress up, and then don't steal the bride's limelight."

This time Chu Xue laughed heartily, she said to Yan Ling: "Young father-in-law can really talk, let's see and appreciate it."

Yan Ling responded, and immediately grabbed a handful of golden melon seeds.

Liangxi and Yan took it, praised Le'er a few more words, then bowed out and returned to Qinzheng Hall.

After the mother and daughter finished their meal, when the night fell, the carriage used by the king stopped outside Yufu Palace.

Although she wanted to be low-key, she was a noble concubine after all. Chu Xue picked out her concubine-colored makeup and flowery beanie, and when she got in the car, she saw Song Chen in a black brocade robe.After she sat firmly, the carriage wobbled out of the palace gate.

Song Chen looked her over and said, "Didn't you say don't steal the bride's limelight, why are you still so eye-catching?"

She heard the words and looked down at the robe on her body, after realizing that it was his joke, she pouted and said coquettishly: "The emperor is used to teasing his concubines."

The corner of his lips curled up, and he said, "Where is it a joke? What I said is the truth. Forget it, my beauty is so beautiful that it is hard to hide it. It is really embarrassing for you to keep a low profile."

Praising people is so good, Chu Xue burst into a smile, and the king Shunyi took the beauty's hand and let the carriage gallop.

As the night gradually fell, the Anxi Hou Mansion with swaying lanterns ushered in a group of guests again. Most of the people who ate wine at noon were relatives, but now those who came to the dinner were basically the father and son's colleagues in the court.

Seeing that the guests had almost arrived, the father and two standing in the courtyard were about to enter the banquet hall, when they suddenly saw the young servant at the gate of the mansion panic-stricken to report that a nobleman had arrived.

Except for Xu Jilin, who the Qin government would never invite, all the high officials of the court have arrived, but which noble person is still missing?The father and father looked at each other, and still walked quickly to the gate of the mansion.

When they came outside the gate of the mansion, both father and father were shocked.I saw dozens of guards standing neatly on the street at the entrance, looking at the luxurious carriage that had just stopped, the father and son guessed who was coming, and dared to call the servants who were still standing at the entrance of the mansion to kneel down Pick up.Sure enough, just as everyone knelt down, they saw the golden door curtain on the carriage was lifted, and Song Chen got down from above.

Qin Mu just knelt down to salute, but he saw Song Chen still overtaking the car and stretching out his hand after landing, and then a jade-like hand reached into the king's palm, and another luxurious beauty fell from the car.

It was Chu Xue.

This is the congratulatory gift that Song Chen promised last year to the Qin family.

The king and his concubine came in person.

Recognizing that it was Chu Xue, Qin Mu was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly knelt down, and obeyed: "I respectfully welcome Your Majesty, and respectfully welcome Your Royal Concubine."

Surprised Qin Yuan also saluted behind his father.

"Quick Anxihou." Song Chen said in a harmonious voice, "Today, my concubine and I made a sudden visit and wanted to ask for a glass of wedding wine. I hope I didn't disturb your residence!"

From the tone of his voice, he could tell that the king was in a good mood, so Qin Mu quickly bowed and said, "Your honorable presence makes the humble house luxuriant, and it's too late for me to be happy, so why bother, I'm afraid that if the hospitality is not good, I would like to invite your majesty and empress Don't worry about it."

"Anxi Hou speaks seriously." This time it was Chu Xue who spoke with a smile, and she said: "General Qin Yuan is my brother-in-law, today he is getting married, and I am here to congratulate him. It is human nature to see a new sister-in-law. The emperor is here to accompany me this time, since we are all relatives and friends, you don't have to be so polite, just be us ordinary people."

Having reached this point, what else could Qin Mu say, he just said "please" with a smile, and then hurriedly led the way for the two of them, and invited the distinguished guest to the upper seat of the banquet hall in the mansion.

Shengjia suddenly arrived, and everyone in the Qin residence, including the guests who came to have a wedding banquet, was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed down.This is the first time that the Qin Mansion welcomes Yujia, and Qin Mu also hurriedly asked the female relatives to come out to pick him up. After a while, all the guests in the Qin Mansion, no matter men or women, even the bride who just entered the door, all came When they arrived, they bowed down in front of Song Chen and Chu Xue.

As soon as Song Chen raised his hand, Liangxi hurriedly sang, "Excuse me!"

Everyone stood up.

Among the group of people, the most eye-catching ones are the couple in wedding clothes. This is the first time for Chu Xue to meet Luo Shu. She had heard from her mother that the Luo family has a good family style, so she had a good impression of her. Seeing Luo Shu now Luo Shu is also a beautiful woman with a good temperament, and she immediately felt happy, happy that Qin Yuan's brother married a beautiful woman.

Looking at Brother Qin Yuan next to Luo Shu, after two expeditions, he is indeed full of heroism. He is now wearing a wedding dress, and he is even more handsome. This is also the elder brother who cared for her since childhood. Chu Xue was filled with emotion for a while, and smiled: "It's the first time I saw two newcomers standing together. Such a talented and beautiful woman is really a match made in heaven. Today is a feast for the eyes."

These words hit my ears, and Qin Yuan's heart was filled with mixed feelings.

I didn't expect to meet again. It turned out to be the day I got married. You and I each brought our partners to meet each other.

After Chu Xue finished speaking, Song Chen also agreed with a smile: "Indeed, the two newcomers are really a good match. Hurry up and send me the congratulatory gifts for Concubine Yi and Concubine Yi."

Immediately, the accompanying guards stepped forward, and the presents were naturally supreme treasures. Qin Yuan and Luo Shu knelt down to thank again.

Due to the sudden visit of the two, the bride had to show her face in front of the guests. Chu Xue felt a little sorry, and hurriedly said to Song Chen: "Your Majesty, since we are here for a wedding banquet, let's follow the rules. You stay here first, my minister." The concubine should go to the female guests too."

Song Chen also understood what Chu Xue meant, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."

"Yes."

The hostess Mrs. Qin immediately stepped forward to lead the way, and all the female guests surrounded the noble concubine and went to the backyard to have a drink.

Not to mention the front yard, tonight's banquet is all common officials in the court. Everyone is familiar with the king. It is just that the place of the Shangyuan Palace Banquet has changed every year. It is not too unnatural, but there are many He secretly sighed at the great face of the Qin family.Yu Jia came in person, and I don't know if it was for the sake of the two generals of the Qin family, or if it was really for the banquet with the beloved concubine.

As for the backyard, it was the first time for many people to see Chu Xue. In the past, they only heard that Concubine Yi was dominating the harem, so they were all very excited to see her true face today.Chu Xue was fine, she had seen many wives in the palace, and she was seated at this time, besides the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Qin family, her mother and sister-in-law were at the table, because they were all familiar people, she didn't think there was anything wrong uneasy.

On the contrary, it was the mother and sister-in-law who felt relieved when they saw her.

Since hearing about her miscarriage, the close relatives were naturally worried, and seeing that she had recovered as before, except that she had indeed faded a bit, her complexion was still the same as before, and they immediately felt relieved.Chu Xue understood what the relatives were worried about, and said softly while raising her glass: "Mother, don't worry, my daughter is already well."

Mrs. Chu also smiled and nodded, and the banquet proceeded slowly.

It would be inconvenient for Sheng Jia to leave the palace for a long time, so after staying in Qin's house for about half an hour, Chu Xue drove back to the palace with Song Chen after seeing the loved ones she was concerned about.

Although it was the end of February, the night was still a bit cold, and the carriage was still hung with relatively thick brocade curtains.

Seeing Qin Yuan get married tonight, Chu Xue couldn't help but feel emotional, and couldn't help being a little lost.

"What are you thinking?" Song Chen asked her after realizing it.

She smiled slightly, and said: "The concubine is thinking, that bride is really a beauty, General Qin is very lucky."

Song Chen didn't think so, and said: "How can the beauties of the Qin family compare to my beauties, Xue'er is only beautiful when she is married, no one can match her."

What he said was sweet, and she looked at him with a slight smile. He was actually reminiscing about the night when she entered the mansion. At this moment, when he met her eyes, he suddenly became emotional.

It's been a long time since we took the car together, and Song Chen drank again tonight, with a beauty by his side, how could it be wasted?

He hugged him into his arms and bowed his head to kiss him. Chu Xue understood his intentions, but she didn't refuse, and just let him do it softly.

In fact, she misses him too.
