Chapter 208

"No matter what misunderstandings and grievances there were in the past, now Qingxia is a member of my Qin royal family, and we Daqin don't have so many rules. This child has been lonely all his life and has experienced many hardships and twists and turns. After all, Emperor Chu had a relationship with her. The entanglements, and her father is also the teacher of the Chu Emperor, and even a courtier of Nan Chu, after much deliberation, the officiant must be the Chu Emperor."

Qin Wang said gently, with a mellow voice, but a pair of eyes revealed a faint light of brilliance.

Qing Xia stood behind Empress Chunyu without changing his face, with a modest smile on his face, but a stormy sea arose in his heart.

The King of Qin deserved to be scheming. She married into the royal family of Qin as Zhuang Qingxia. The only obstacle was that she was once a concubine of Nanchu, and she was not formally kicked out of Chu Palace by Chu Li. Bearing the title of concubine of Nan Chu, she is still Chu Li's woman.If the name is not correct, the words will not go well. Even if the customs of the Northern Qin Dynasty were open, it would not be surprising for a younger brother to marry a brother and sister-in-law, and a son to accept a stepmother.But it is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and it will inevitably be true, which will affect the reputation of Daqin and Qin Zhiyan.

But if Chu Li personally presided over the marriage, it would be equivalent to giving Qingxia to Qin Zhiyan in front of the whole world, and the Qin royal family would no longer have to bear the notoriety of stealing a wife.

Killing two birds with one stone saves Daqin's face and at the same time wins the allegiance of Qingpeng's Seven Clans under Qingxia's name. It's not unwise.

Qingxia clearly knew that without the nominal title of Qingpeng Qibu, without the allegiance of Penglai Xiangu, without the advanced technology she mastered, it would be impossible for her to successfully marry into Daqin's family like this.

Chu Li raised the corner of his mouth, smiled faintly, and said in a deep voice: "It is Li's honor to be appreciated by the King of Qin."

"Then it's decided." Qin Wang said with a big smile: "Come on, take Princess Minrui down first, and wait two hours for Zhiyan's wedding. Your Majesty, it's rare for you to come here tonight. If you don’t get drunk, you’ll go home.”

Chu Li glanced at Qing Xia, smiled meaningfully, and said, "Definitely."

Four palace maids came forward and stood by Qing Xia's side. Qing Xia bowed to King Qin and Empress Chunyu, then walked to Chu Li, bowed down gracefully, and said in a calm voice: "Trouble His Majesty the Emperor of Chu."

Chu Li didn't speak, his eyes were narrowed into a straight line, the ends of his eyes were lowered, and he looked at her lightly.

Qing Xia stood up bit by bit, lowered her eyes, and slowly scanned his clothes.Black brocade boots with a beautiful face, a robe of the same color, a pure white jade pendant hanging around the waist, a black belt embroidered with bright black silk thread coiling dragon pattern, Jinyun-patterned skirt to the waist, crossed front, ink Under the black outer robe is a pure white inner shirt. The weather in the north is so cold, but he wears so little.Qing Xia pursed her lips, stood up slowly, looked up slightly, but did not raise her head after all, just stopped at his neck and shoulders, then slowly turned around, followed by the four maids of Feng Fei Palace Walk towards the Zixia Pavilion where she is going to marry.

Chu Li stood in the main hall, tall and straight, with an indifferent face, he didn't glance at her, but stood straight, facing the King Qin and Empress Chunyu who were facing him gently and politely.

The two of them faced each other with their backs, but neither of them turned their heads. The distance became farther and farther away, one zhang, two zhang, walked out of the gate of Fengfei Hall, walked up the straight royal corridor, and crossed two wide open arches. , a row of dwarf trees, and then a large orchid garden, and finally came to a turning rockery, and finally, it was nowhere to be seen.

Even if they turned around, they would never see each other again.

Just turning around the rockery, Qing Xia's footsteps suddenly stumbled, stepped on the corner of her skirt, and almost fell to the ground.Several palace maids stretched out their hands quickly, wanting to help her, Qing Xia shook her head, pushed away their hands, stood up slowly, straightened her back, and continued to walk forward.

The fiery red sunset shone on her body, giving her a feeling of burning. Her whole body was like a furnace, but her heart was desperately braving the cold. Her face was as pale as paper, and she walked faster and faster, and finally came to Zixia Pavilion.Seeing her coming in, the two rows of maids all bowed and bowed to her, Qing Xia nodded dignifiedly, and was led all the way to the main hall.

The eight-treasure embroidered futon was placed upright on the ground, with a huge benevolent Bodhisattva in the center, and two incense burners on both sides, burning high-quality sandalwood.Qingxia knows that this is the last blessing for her natal family before she gets married, and the last filial piety for her parents, which means that from now on, the woman will be a member of someone else's family, and she can only have her husband in her heart.Although she had no family for a long time, King Qin still prepared this ceremony for her to show his importance to her as a bride.

Qing Xia raised her head slightly, she couldn't see anything unusual, the maids arranged for her to kneel down on the futon, and then someone slowly recited scriptures and knocked on the wooden fish.

The maids and servants withdrew, and the monks who were chanting scriptures could not see what was going on here through a corridor and two layers of gauze curtains in the inner hall.

The door slammed shut with a bang, Qing Xia's tall back suddenly trembled, her brows wrinkled, and a bright red oozes from the corner of her mouth.She stretched out her hand and gently wiped away the little spots of blood to prevent them from staining her palace makeup.

The sound of those distant scriptures seemed to come from another world. She pulled a soft futon aside, lowered her head slowly, and widened her eyes.A tear finally fell down with a puff, and instead of sliding down her cheek, it fell directly and hit her pale hand.

The Bodhisattva above smiled compassionately, his eyes were as gentle as water, Qing Xia's body gradually trembled, her hands resting on the ground, trembling slightly.She was going to get married today, but this blessing ceremony seemed like a great irony to her.Who should she pray for?Parents who have died?Tang Yu who is still in modern times?Zhuang Dianru who committed suicide?Or is he?
God always seems to be teasing them again and again, everything is like a silent pantomime, although no one speaks, but the plot is so ironic.

Chu Li, I only hope that you are safe and happy, I only hope that you can get rid of the entanglement of fate and get what you want, I only hope that you can forget me, even if only hatred is left in your memory.

If I could, I really wish I never knew you and didn't bring you so much harm.

If I could, I really wish I would have died on the streets of Tokyo that day. You would still be that proud and fierce king without the slightest weakness in this chaotic world.

If possible, I really hope that everything can be repeated again, I will not hurt you again, I will not misunderstand you again, I even hope that I will come here when you are so young, so that I can protect you from being bullied by others, Don't be calculated by others.

However, there are no ifs after all, so I want to face you and marry someone else in a phoenix coronet.You and I meet when we shouldn't meet, share the same bed when we doubt each other, part when there are many misunderstandings, and meet again when we understand everything but can't help ourselves.

You and I have always had a shallow relationship, and we are destined not to be side by side.

May you all be well, may you ascend to the Supreme, and may your wishes come true.

Tears were dripping on the back of her hands, incense was lingering in the hall, and the sound of wooden fish, everything seemed to be washing her soul.As the sun sets, the blue sky is dyed red by the setting sun, the flowing clouds are fiery red, fluttering and swaying, and the orchid grass outside the temple is fragrant and elegant, everything is beautiful and unrealistic.

After today, as long as today.

"Princess." The maid's voice sounded slowly. This girl is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and she is still innocent and ignorant of the sorrows of the world. She is obviously very happy to be sent to serve Qingxia, and she shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness Xuan The previous batch of Nacai team has entered the imperial city!"

Qing Xia was taken aback for a moment, then stood up, looked towards the east direction with both eyes, and murmured: "Zhiyan, are you here?"

The door was opened, Caili Nanny followed Qing Xia's sides, and said respectfully: "Princess, Your Majesty and Empress are waiting for you in the Forbidden Palace."

Qing Xia nodded, followed behind Nanny, walking towards the main hall of the Forbidden Palace step by step.The setting sun followed behind her, and the misty red light dragged her shadow very long, a slender and thin one, looking so lonely and indifferent.

Qin people like to welcome their relatives in the evening, which means that after tonight, there will be a new kind of life.

Qingxia took small steps, followed behind Nanny Caili, and walked forward slowly. Sure enough, after today, it is a new life.

The main hall of the Taihe Palace is wide open, King Qin and Empress Chunyu are sitting high above them, and on both sides are many princes and princes of the Qin court, except for the three who have passed away, the old eighth who is still in northern Xinjiang, the crazy Eleventh, the seventeenth stationed in the west wind, and the rest are basically sitting.The youngest 28th prince is only four years old this year, wearing a brocade costume, sitting upright in the last seat, seeing Qing Xia coming in and smiling, he looks very cute.

There is a long row of high brocade seats on the outside, and the people present are all dignitaries from various countries, headed by Qi An and Yan Hui, and they line up side by side.Everyone is dressed in brocade clothes and python robes with jade belts, with a relaxed expression.Qing Xia glanced slightly, and saw Qi An drinking with his head down, and didn't talk to anyone else, but Yan Hui met her eyes sharply, and greeted her happily, but he didn't see Chu Li present .

As soon as Qing Xia came in, there was a burst of admiration from the crowd, but seeing the woman in black robe and snow skin, with bright eyebrows and white teeth, graceful and noble temperament, sharp eyes and beautiful eyes, she was uniquely magnificent.

King Qin laughed and said, "Since she is the princess of Daqin, she is the widow's daughter. Today, the widow is marrying both a daughter and a daughter-in-law. Son, come here."

Qing Xia walked forward slowly, stood still in front of the imperial road, King Qin beckoned and said: "Come up."
