Chapter 70 Drinking Mantra
The next day, the Qin family held a large banquet, and guests were full of guests.
Since the early morning, the sound of firecrackers and drums has not stopped outside. When the auspicious time is approaching, I hear someone calling that the bride has been received. The guests who were waiting in the courtyard got up one after another and rushed to the gate with laughter. Watch the fun.
Xu'er had been playing with a few children of the same age from the Qin family, and now she ran back to Zhu Yunxuan and the others, shouting, "Daddy, I'm going to see the bride too!"
Liang Zhen slapped his nose amusingly: "Do you still know what a bride is, little baby?"
"I know!" the child excitedly said, "It is the bride who wants to worship heaven and earth and enter the bridal chamber!"
Liang Zhen snorted and asked Zhu Yunxuan with a smile, "Who taught him this?"
Zhu Yunxuan picked up the person and said angrily, "How do I know."
The family of three walked out with the crowd. The gate of Qin's house was already crowded and lively. Guests and friends who came from afar were arranged to have a banquet inside. Now that they are all together, they are all gathered outside the gate of Qin's house, looking forward to it, waiting for the welcoming team to come back.
The bride is from another island in the South China Sea. The welcoming team will disembark at the pier first, and then come over in a sedan chair. When the sound of the suona gradually approached, the groom finally appeared at the corner of the street on a tall horse, and the sound of firecrackers suddenly rang out.
Zhu Yunxuan subconsciously wanted to cover Xu'er's ears, but the child was not afraid at all, her face flushed with excitement, and the person in front blocked her vision and twisted her body to try to climb higher, Liang Zhen smiled helplessly. He took the man over and raised him to sit on his shoulders.
The child finally got his wish, and his bright eyes looked around curiously, giggling.
The welcoming team stopped at the gate of Qin's house, and the tall and handsome groom got off his horse and took his bride out of the sedan chair with his own hands.
The bride is dressed in the same bright red wedding dress as the groom, with a simple bun, only wrapped with a red hair band, and her face is beautiful and beautiful when she smiles. Zhu Yunxuan opened his eyes slightly, and only then did he realize that the eldest son of the Qin family was actually married to a male wife.
Since the founding of Dayan, the birthing medicine has naturally benefited places other than Dayan. Nanfeng has also become a common thing in this Nanyang, but whether it is in Dayan or Nanyang, there are still a small number of Ming media who are marrying male wives. In particular, the Qin family, a wealthy family with considerable status in this Nanyang, would most likely choose to marry a woman of the right family, so Zhu Yunxuan would be surprised.
The surprise was only for a moment, and he heard Liang Zhen laugh in his ear and sigh: "This young master of the Qin family is three years younger than me, so he has married a wife, and I don't know when it will be my turn. "
Zhu Yunxuan's expression changed slightly, he glanced at him, and said calmly: "You don't even have a son, why do you envy others."
Liang Zhen lowered his eyes and chuckled: "Yes."
The bridegroom welcomed the bride into the house. The auspicious time had arrived, and it was time to worship the heavens and the earth. The guests who were watching the fun also went in to watch the ceremony. Xun Er got off Liang Zhen and became more and more excited. He climbed on Zhu Yunxuan's arm and asked him curiously: " Daddy, are you also your father's bride?"
Liang Zhen laughed, and Zhu Yunxuan frowned and tapped the child's forehead with his fingers: "Who taught you all this mess?"
The child innocently said: "I heard from others that daddy is the father's bride, and the groom and the bride will have a baby after the bridal chamber. Is Xu'er born in the bridal chamber of daddy and father?"
Zhu Yunxuan was expressionless, and no matter how much the child asked, he ignored him. Liang Zhen smiled and patted his son's little head: "You are so interesting, you really deserve to be my son."
A wedding banquet lasted from noon to sunset. Liang Zhen knew a lot of people on this island. From time to time, people came over to chat with him. Zhu Yunxuan sat on the side and ate quietly, took care of his son, and seldom spoke. He drank a lot of wine. There is a kind of wine brewed by the people of Fanbang that is particularly sweet and mellow, which is very suitable for Zhu Yunxuan's appetite.
Liang Zhen knew that the wine tasted no different from ordinary fruit wine at first, and it was not overpowering, but had a lot of stamina, but seeing that Zhu Yunxuan liked it, he didn't remind him, and was only ready to take people away when he was drunk.
After dark, the Qin family mansion, which had been lively all day, gradually quieted down. The couple entered the bridal chamber. , with one hand supporting Zhu Yunxuan, who was already a little unsteady, and went back to the yard where he lived.
Xu'er obediently didn't ask Liang Zhen to hug him, took his hand, raised his head and asked him in a low voice, "What's wrong with Daddy?"
Without waiting for Liang Zhen to answer, Zhu Yunxuan, who was half hugged and half hugged by him, first smiled and said, "Daddy isn't drunk, come here, Daddy hugs you."
The child was a little hesitant, but Liang Zhen helplessly helped Zhu Yunxuan to stand firm, and said to Xu'er, "Let's go, it's just ahead, your father is drunk, ignore him."
"What, I said I'm not drunk..."
Liang Zhen no longer gave Zhu Yunxuan a chance to argue, he bent down and hugged the person directly, and then reminded Xu'er, who was not sure why, "Be good, follow your father, we're going back."
Zhu Yunxuan closed his eyes and leaned on Liang Zhen's shoulder, and muttered softly, "Don't lose Xu'er..."
"Will not."
Back in the room, Liang Zhen first settled Xu'er to sleep, coaxed the child to sleep, and then turned to look. After entering the door, he sat on the couch with his legs crossed. On the top, his expression was extremely hazy, and there was an incomprehensible emotion in his watery eyes.
Liang Zhen walked over and poured a cup of hot water for him to drink. Zhu Yunxuan stroked his forehead and emphasized again: "I'm not drunk..."
He really wasn't drunk, his mind was still clear, but the drink had a lot of stamina, and he had a severe headache.
"I know, just get a good night's sleep." Liang Zhen coaxed him softly, asked someone to bring hot water, wiped his face, and let him soak his feet for a while. She stared at him blankly until the end, without saying a word.
It was not until he was hugged into bed by Liang Zhen, and when Liang Zhen was about to get up, he subconsciously raised his hand, hooked Liang Zhen's neck, and pulled the person down. Liang Zhen looked at his misty eyes, raised his hand and stroked his hair, and smiled softly: "Your Majesty, if you are like this, I will think you are seducing me."
Zhu Yunxuan stared at him for a long time, until the smile at the corner of Liang Zhen's mouth faded, his eyes gradually turned red, and he asked him hoarsely, "Why don't you call me Axuan?"
Liang Zhen was stunned for a moment. He only called Zhu Yunxuan like that once. It was when he just returned to the island that day to introduce him to someone. Unexpectedly, Zhu Yunxuan took it to heart.
"... Does Your Majesty like me calling you that?"
The corners of Zhu Yunxuan's eyes were red, and water seemed to be dripping from his eyes: "In the past, only my elder brother would call me that, but since I became the emperor, he has separated from me. It's different in the end, I know, he has his concerns, I don't blame him... But why did you refuse to call me by my name?"
Liang Zhen lowered his head, kissed his eyelid lightly, and whispered, "A Xuan..."
Zhu Yunxuan closed his eyes, and the tears could not be restrained from falling down the corners of his eyes: "Why are you coming back? Do you know how hard it is for me to see you? It was promised back then that we would never meet again in this life, why didn't you keep your promise? ?"
Liang Zhen hugged the man even tighter and kissed the tears from his eyes: "A Xuan, if I don't come back, do you really plan to suffer like this for the rest of your life?"
"I don't know," Zhu Yunxuan cried and shook his head, "how much I liked you before, you don't understand at all, I promised to make a deal with you because that person was you, and I would not be willing to die if it were someone else. , but you don't like me at all, you treat me as a plaything that can be trampled on, you vent your resentment against my father on me, you threaten me with my brother and his children, you force me to do things I don't want to do, But I'm the emperor, I can't live without dignity, I want to kill you, but in the end I can't do it at all..."
Liang Zhen was stunned, he never knew that Zhu Yunxuan liked him, and he liked him from the very beginning, but what about him? He will be interested in Zhu Yunxuan. He was initially attracted by his stubbornness when he desperately pleaded for his brother. He wanted to take that stubbornness as his own, but his feelings for Zhu Yunxuan were not pure. Emperor Yang's anger was given to him, so he chose such unbearable and fierce means, and even deliberately trampled him and humiliated him in the matter of bedding.
Even if he helped him ascend to the throne later, he had no revenge for him, but Zhu Yunxuan didn't believe him, and he didn't know how to make him believe. Pushing Zhu Yunxuan farther and farther.
"It's my fault," Liang Zhen pressed Zhu Yunxuan's forehead and told him to look into his eyes, "I promise, I will never do it again. I didn't dislike you, never."
Zhu Yunxuan still kept crying: "I've been thinking of you every day for the past three years. I feel bad when I think of you, and I feel bad when I don't want you..."
Liang Zhen kissed the corner of his lips and asked him softly, "I'm back, aren't you happy? Don't you want me?"
"I'm happy, I want you too... But I'm afraid that you will be the same as before, even if you have nothing to threaten me now, you can't force me, but I'm still afraid, I'm afraid that one day you will let me down again... …”
Zhu Yunxuan raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, and without waiting for Liang Zhen to say anything, he smiled again with tears in his eyes: "You are right, I don't want to suffer anymore, I want to give Xu'er a legitimate identity, and I also want to Give me a chance, but you can't let me down again, never."
Liang Zhen lay down and hugged the person in his arms with relief: "Okay."
