Chapter 217 "Then hold on tight." (End)
No wonder her parents looked at her strangely these past two days. It must be that Xie Lang had privately instructed and found a way to settle the matter, giving her a big surprise.
"I said, you are as respected as me." Xie Lang smiled with a hint of success, "I never joke."
He was willing to make more concessions for Wen Hemian.
Wen Hemian didn't scold him. After thinking it through, he curled his lips lightly: "I like it very much."
The conversation lasted only a moment.
From early morning to dusk, until the sky darkened and the stars and moon came out, the ceremony was finally completed.
Of course, no one came to make trouble in the bridal chamber at the wedding of the emperor and empress. Once I returned to the bedroom, I felt completely quiet.
Wen Hemian pounded his neck and ordered Xie Lang to take off the phoenix crown for him. It was too heavy and he felt like his neck was not his own.
Not to mention, His Majesty the Emperor was extremely skillful in these matters. Before I could see how he moved, the gorgeous phoenix crown had been taken off by him and put into the box.
“Being married is exhausting.”
As soon as Wen Hemian finished speaking, Xie Lang began to massage her shoulders, quite considerately: "Wait a moment, I'll ask someone to get some food."
They were so busy that they were dizzy and had no time to eat. They just stuffed some cakes in the middle of the meal.
Wen Hemian's heart softened immediately: "...But I'm very happy too."
In the past, I only watched other people get married, but I never thought that one day I would get married myself. The feeling is naturally completely different.
The palace maids quickly brought the food, which was light and appetizing and very delicious.
After washing, she changed from heavy wedding clothes into casual clothes, which were still red to suit the happy occasion.
The two looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
"What are you laughing at, Master?"
Xie Lang raised his hand and gently pinched her earlobe, his voice gentle and hoarse.
"Laugh, we still have one last step to complete."
Wen Hemian pointed to the table, where the veil, wedding scale and wedding wine were placed.
"It's not too late to finish it now."
Xie Lang gently pushed her to sit on the bed, which was sprinkled with a lot of red dates, peanuts, longans and other messy things, which made people shudder.
Before Wen Hemian could move aside, his vision was covered by a red veil - it was the veil.
She knew what would happen next, but her heart still skipped a beat. She blinked and slowly stared at Xie Lang as he lifted up her veil.
The red candle flickered, and the pair of eyes like deep pools were very soft.
Xie Lang smiled: "There is also wedding wine."
Wen Hemian pursed his lips and raised his hand: "Give it to me."
Xie Lang poured the wine and obediently gave her one of the glasses. Then he leaned over as if he couldn't wait, intertwined his arms with hers, and then drank the glass of wine.
It has a sweet and refreshing taste, with almost no alcoholic taste.
But, it is not the wine that makes people drunk, it is people who make themselves drunk.
After holding it in for a whole day, Xie Lang had long wanted to kiss those lips. Now he finally didn't need to restrain himself and pressed against them with irresistible force, lips against lips, exchanging breath with each other.
The heat spread silently, making the corners of her eyes red. Xie Lang breathed deeply, and after the kiss, he stepped back a little and stroked her cheek with his fingertips, almost tenderly.
"Hanshuang, you don't know how long I have been looking forward to this day."
Perhaps as early as when he first had that dream, everything was traceable. He never regretted fighting for it, even though he suffered pain and hardship for three years, he still remained true to his original intention.
"I really, really love you."
After thinking for a long time, no other word can compare to the weight of this word, that is pure love.
He loved Wen Hemian until his death.
The woman's lips were moistened by the kiss, but when she heard these words, she couldn't help but bend the corners of her lips, and said in a gentle but powerful voice: "Me too."
In life, there are many choices to make. If you cannot guarantee that all choices are right, then at least you must ensure that you have a clear conscience. She and Xie Lang went from being a monarch and his subjects to husband and wife. Even though it sounds a bit absurd, it was a choice they made without regrets.
Xie Lang kissed her on the cheek with great joy: "Let's not talk about that anymore. From today on, we are officially married. Hanshuang, call me by my name."
Wen Hemian raised his eyes and looked at him: "...Huaichuan."
Xie Lang felt his heart burning with anger at this shout.
He was still worried about whether he would hurt Wen Hemian, so when he held her in his arms, he did not forget to brush off the mess on the bed, and it fell all over the floor with a crackling sound.
In a moment, sweat broke out and the woman's cloud-like black hair spread out, staining her snow-white neck. However, the radiance in her eyes was even more stunning.
And tonight, this color belongs to him.
The red gauze curtains block out the noise, the night is still long.
-
After the emperor and empress got married, the biggest change was probably that there was one more position at the top of the court, and the number of people that the court officials needed to shout "Long live the emperor" increased from one to two.
Very unruly.
But if you say it is against the rules, the marriage between these two teachers and students is not that good. Your Majesty and Lord Wen don't care how history books write about them, and the Ministry of Rites is numb and feels that there is no need to ask for trouble.
As for the Censors, they will continue to impeach those who need to be impeached. Anyway, they feel that they have no sense of existence if they don't impeach a few people a day. Xie Lang has always only listened to useful things, and useless things will be automatically filtered out by him.
To sum up, nothing can go against your Majesty's wishes.
Shocked one after another, the ministers were much more accepting than before. This time, they had more to discuss. From the prosperous capital to all over the world, there were always other things that would occupy their attention.
The emperor and empress are deeply in love, and no one should interfere. Just watch quietly.
"I said that the tasks assigned to them are still not enough."
After reading the memorial presented to him, Xie Lang twitched the corners of his lips slightly, showing a hint of dissatisfaction.
Wen Hemian stopped writing, propped up his chin and looked over: "Proceed step by step, and don't put too much pressure on the ministers."
There were many happy events this year. First, we won a great victory over the barbarians. The two tribes negotiated peace and exchanged what they had. Then, local government offices reported the situation and predicted that it would be a good year. The prosperity of peace and prosperity began to take shape...
As for the ministers, their salaries also increased a lot.
Anyway, everything is better than Wen Hemian imagined.
"Got it." Xie Lang snorted, and suddenly remembered, "It's almost the Qixi Festival again. If we have a free day, shall we go out of the palace?"
Xie Lang enjoyed the moment when he was close to Wen Hemian in the noisy crowd. It made him feel that their hearts were infinitely close.
Wen Hemian had no objection: "Okay."
With hope, time goes by extra quickly.
On the wedding day, many people had seen their appearance. In order to avoid trouble, they both wore masks and looked like an ordinary couple, walking hand in hand on the street.
Everywhere you look, you see lit lanterns, bustling crowds of people, and a very lively atmosphere. Stripped of their noble status during the day, they are just one of the countless living beings, enjoying their rare leisure time.
Xie Lang asked the secret guards to buy lanterns, and together with Wen Hemian, he found a vacant space, wrote his wishes on the lanterns, and put them into the river. He watched the two lanterns float in the air, and finally merged into the thousands of lanterns to form a brighter light.
It's like snow on a bright river, burning the eyes.
Wen Hemian looked at the scenery in front of him with a gentle smile in his eyes.
Xie Lang carefully protected her to prevent her from being hit by passers-by. He whispered, "Hanshuang, you seem very happy?"
"Everything went well this year, so of course I'm happy." Wen Hemian turned to look at him and added coaxingly, "But the happiest thing is that I got married to my little boyfriend."
Xie Lang was puzzled: "Little boyfriend?"
"It's the name from the other side."
Wen Hemian didn't point it out, but Xie Lang understood it instantly.
This is a secret between the two of them alone.
"That world is quite interesting. I will tell you about it slowly when I have some free time." Wen Hemian smiled and said in a gentle tone, "You don't have to worry. I won't leave again."
Xie Lang's eyes were almost filled with laughter: "Okay."
At that moment, fireworks exploded in the sky, dragging their tails and spreading little by little in the sky, illuminating the entire street, which was a beautiful sight.
Countless men and women cheered, the crowd was bustling, and a scene of prosperity and peace began to take shape.
In a trance, Xie Lang recalled that many years ago, someone picked him up in the cold palace and told him that not only could he have enough food to eat, but also the people of the world could have enough food to eat.
At that time they just thought it was a joke, but now it has come true. Fate has come full circle and has given back to them silently.
He told this story to Wen Hemian, who couldn't help laughing: "Who would have thought that such a small boy would not only be taller than me, but also become so bold and reckless?"
Xie Lang insisted: "You were the first to reach out to me, so you should be prepared to be held by me for life."
In the interweaving of light and shadow, Wen Hemian stared at the person in front of him.
From a teenager to an adult, except for those missing days, the past is extremely clear in her mind. Xie Lang is no longer the Xie Lang he used to be, and she is no longer the one she used to be.
After the ups and downs, only stability and steadiness remain.
It seems like just yesterday when we met, so many years have passed.
But what does it matter? From now on, they will be together forever.
So she raised the corners of her lips and held out her hand to him: "Then hold on tight."
