MTL - Dressed As a Consort In Ancient Times-Chapter 4
Finally coming to the festive hall, Gu Yun put Jiang Libai down, and saw her move aside in disgust.
Yi Xing smacked his lips and said dryly, "General, I think the princess doesn't want to see you."
Gu Yun ignored it, she was performing the ancient wedding ceremony according to the etiquette she was taught a few days ago.
The front was fine, but when the husband and wife worshiped each other, the Seventh Princess stood there in a daze, and did not bow her head immediately.
Gu Yun raised his head and glanced at her, seeing that behind the bead curtain she was pursing her thin lips with a dazed expression, so she couldn't help calling out in a low voice: "Princess?"
The surroundings were quiet, and all the people watching the ceremony looked at the newlyweds in the hall with strange expressions.
Jiang Libai heard the slight muttering behind him, and looked at the opposite person seriously again.
Even now, she still feels like she is in a dream, as if what happened these days are all illusory and unreal...
She is really going to marry someone she doesn't like, just because of this child in her belly who can't be beaten no matter how hard she is...
Thinking of the previous plan, Jiang Libai closed his eyes, and finally made a final salute to the person opposite.
"Licheng—sent to the bridal chamber—"
Following the tedious chorus of the ceremony officer, Gu Yun brought Jiang Libai into the previously renovated new house.
As soon as they entered the bedroom, the two little maids brought by the Seventh Princess stopped in front of Gu Yun, with vigilant eyes: "Please wait a moment, son-in-law."
Before Gu Yun stepped in with his right foot, he was pushed out by the little maid.
Seeing the door closing with a "bang" in front of her, she didn't recover for a long time.
"General...the princess really doesn't want to see you..."
Gu Yun touched the tip of his nose: "I can see it."
The crescent moon hangs high in the sky, and the cold moonlight falls down, reflecting the bright and tranquil courtyard.
Gu Yun was about to turn around and leave when he heard heavy footsteps coming from the side.
She looked back and saw that it was Xi Po, and there were some people behind her, who seemed to be other princesses of the royal family.
Xi Po narrowed her eyes and laughed: "Hey! Why doesn't the son-in-law go in? It's time to lift the hijab~"
Then he knocked on the closed door: "Your Highness, the son-in-law is here to lift the hijab~"
Seeing that there was no movement inside, Xi Po continued to say with a smile: "Your Highness, the imperial concubine is still in the palace waiting for the old slave to return to his life. If the hour is delayed..."
Before he finished speaking, the door was opened.
A round-faced little palace lady welcomed everyone in: "The princess was a little hungry just now, and she just ate some pastries, and she just cleaned up now..."
In one or two sentences, the reason why the Seventh Princess rejected the son-in-law was clearly explained.
Gu Yun set foot in the bedroom again, and was pushed by Xi Po to the bedside, "My son-in-law, please lift the hijab for the princess~"
After taking over Xicheng, Gu Yun slowly removed Luanfeng Heming's red hijab from the seventh princess's head amidst the cheers of the crowd behind her.
The candlelight flickered, and the hazy light fell on the misty eyes of the Seventh Princess, adding a bit of shyness and softness to the delicate and charming her. The cheeks painted with rouge were pale and soft, and the two strands of hair scattered on the forehead The silk is blown by the wind, and the skin is white and delicate...
"My son-in-law, don't be dumbfounded! It's time to drink the wine!" Xi Po handed over two jade cups.
Gu Yun was pressed by Xi Po to sit next to the Seventh Princess, and took one of the glasses of wine.
Unexpectedly, Xi Po avoided it lightly, picked up another glass and handed it to her hand: "The princess is not good at drinking, this glass is for the princess..."
"Princess, don't worry, drink the wine, the princess and the son-in-law are real husband and wife!"
The two of them crossed their hands with different thoughts, ready to drink the Hebei wine.
Yi Xing suddenly said: "General, there is something in this wine."
Gu Yun paused: "What is it?"
Following the analysis of the breath emanating from the wine glass, Yixing came to a conclusion: "... aphrodisiac."
It's not poison.
Gu Yun drank the glass of wine mixed with aphrodisiac with a calm expression, and thought of the strangeness of Xi Po just now, and asked, "What did the Seventh Princess drink?"
After Yixing's analysis, he was a little surprised: "It's not wine, and there is no aphrodisiac, just ordinary warm water..."
Is this discriminatory? ? ?
One star was a little dissatisfied: "Why did you give the general an aphrodisiac, but the princess didn't need it?"
Gu Yun glanced at Seventh Princess' belly without any trace: "Pregnant women can't drink alcohol, let alone medicine." As for giving her wine mixed with aphrodisiac... Maybe it's to make their wedding night in the bridal chamber go smoothly tonight. a little? After all, according to Princess Seven's attitude towards her, maybe without this aphrodisiac, they wouldn't be able to spend the Spring Festival together tonight...
I don't know who would do that.
After all the etiquette was completed, Xi Po happily put away the cups: "Your Highness and the son-in-law will definitely be united forever, and have a precious son soon!" After speaking, she greeted the other people in the room and left.
After everyone retreated, only Gu Yun and Seventh Princess were left in the room.
Under the vigilant eyes of the Seventh Princess, Gu Yun got up, walked to the spittoon, tapped his chest a few times, and then spit out the aphrodisiac he had just drank.
Standing up again, she looked back at Seventh Princess who had put away her shy smile, "Princess, I..."
As soon as she took two steps forward, Princess Seven took out a sharp dagger from under the pillow, the sharp point was pointing in her direction, "Don't move!"
Gu Yun was stunned for a moment.
"Gu Yun, isn't it?" Jiang Libai lowered her voice and threatened fiercely: "Although we are married, we are husband and wife in the eyes of others. But there are some things that you have to figure out!"
Gu Yun raised his hands cooperatively, "For example?"
Jiang Libai didn't know what she was doing with her raised hand, but she had already reached the point, she still bit the bullet and continued: "I didn't want to marry you. I dragged you into the water that day , although it is my fault, but this palace promises to give you freedom to the greatest extent."
"We are husband and wife in front of people. But behind people, we have no relationship."
The room was quiet, and the sound of the lights exploding could be clearly heard.
Gu Yun didn't expect Princess Seven to marry her with such an idea.
"Did you hear clearly?" Seeing that Gu Yun seemed to be in deep thought, Jiang Libai began to lure her: "I know that your life here is difficult, but as long as you play the role of my husband well, no one will bully you in the future." You, and food and clothing will give you the best..."
She felt that Gu Yun, who was used to hard times, would definitely agree, which was why she insisted on marrying her after knowing Gu Yun's identity.
Because people with low status will be better able to handle it.
Sure enough, Gu Yun agreed.
Jiang Libai breathed a sigh of relief quietly.
"Then tonight...?" What Gu Yun was thinking was that she had married her back anyway, and in her heart, the Seventh Princess was her wife, and she would treat her well and be responsible to her in the future.
As for what the seventh princess thinks in her heart, she can't control it anymore.
After all, the daughter-in-law is your own, and the children are also your own.
"Tonight...tonight you sleep on the floor, don't come to bed!"
Fortunately, this season, the weather is not too cold.
Jiang Libai threw the quilt on the bed where the mandarin ducks were playing in the water, "Here, you sleep on it."
After dismissing Gu Yun, she took off her phoenix crown and gorgeous jewelry all over her body, sat back on the side of the bed, put down the gauze curtain on the bed, and lay down with her clothes on.
But as soon as she closed her eyes, she was startled by the sound of Gu Yun walking around, she sat up all of a sudden, and took out the dagger that had just been placed under the pillow.
The gauze curtain was lifted, but Gu Yun took another quilt and put it on the bed.
"It's cold at night, so cover yourself with a quilt."
Seeing Gu Yun put down the gauze again, Jiang Libai shifted his gaze to the quilt beside the bed.
Holding the dagger, she slowly pulled the quilt over her body.
The warmth wrapped her up in an instant, and her heart was very complicated.
"The dagger is sharp, the princess is careful to hurt herself." The lights in the house have been turned off, and the black
In the dark, Jiang Libai heard Gu Yunqing's faint voice outside the gauze tent: "I won't hurt you, sleep well."
