Ma'am, I'm afraid when you come [AA]

Chapter 52: Two Chapters in One.

When Guan Er said that Xiao Mingchen was in his heart, he just had no waves on his face, and his heart was more nervous than anyone else. But this nervousness is difficult to express, for fear that Xia Feng will feel pretentious.

Fortunately, he was busy every day, and he took away most of the time for cranky thoughts, so that he could barely hold back his excitement and worry.

The divine decree is really a piece of paper, and it is of little use. But this piece of paper represents a promise, an explanation, and Xiao Mingchen's only connection to the declining Shengjing Xiao royal family in the northwest today.

His Royal Highness King Ning was as noble as an immortal in the world, and there was an indescribable intention hidden. He can't wait to share this joy with his father and brother who are buried in the imperial mausoleum.

On the one hand, he completely buried himself in the unfinished chores, and on the other hand, he divided his mind to think about right and wrong, and his life was extremely hard.

Xia Guogong's words are not humble, and there are indeed few available talents in the northwest civil officials. There are a few really talented people, either in important positions or from families. The former may not be able to finish his own affairs, and the latter dare not use it with confidence.

The first difficulty in cleaning up salt and iron was that there was no one to use. In the past two months, Xiao Mingchen has done almost everything himself, and he has lost weight visibly with the naked eye.

Northwest Camp Marshal Tent. Xia Feng gave him a dish: "It's not okay to go on like this, you call Yan Lin here." Although I see that he hates it, for you, he can barely pinch his nose and endure it.

"It's useless if you can barely endure, the Shannan states are not at peace. Moreover, Lu Nongzhuo occupied the south of the Jiangnan, and he looked at the surrounding states, and there were cranes who could not get rid of them. Xiao Mingchen looked at the bowl in front of him that was almost unfillable, and smiled and clamped a chopstick.

"Mu Shi in southern Xinjiang went north to catch Xiao Jing and called, and he thought that he could go to heaven. As a result, when he arrived in Jiangnan, he almost let Lu Nongzhuo send him directly back to his hometown. What cats and dogs want to share a bowl of soup, forgetting how many pounds they have.

Xia Feng felt ridiculous when he thought about it, and clamped a chicken leg for him: "Shannan, Shanxi and Shanxi are all in your control, what are you going to do next?" "

" and so on. Xiao Mingchen didn't have much appetite, he really couldn't eat it, and he clipped the chicken leg back to her.

"Wait for what? Xia Feng was stunned.

"The marriage date, and Xiao Jing's holy will to give marriage.

Xia Feng nibbled on a chicken leg fiercely: "I'm not talking about this." Don't you worry that you will hide in my nest again, and the Central Plains will let people take it in one fell swoop?

"That feeling is good, if someone can unify the chaos in the four directions and calm the people's hearts, they will need me for something." Xiao Mingchen smiled, his narrow eyes narrowed slightly, with a little longing, "You hold the northwest army, if you want the rivers and mountains to be stable, you must be wooed, and when the time comes, it is indispensable to split the soil and divide the seal." I, feel free to be a son-in-law to your family, so that your father does not have an opinion about me.

"It's beautiful, Your Highness." The first time Xia Feng saw that people wanted to eat soft rice, he thought reasonably, and said with a mocking smile, "At that time, you are a former prince, maybe you will bring me some trouble, and my father will not let you enter the door."

"What can I do about this, it seems that you and I have to pass without a name and no score." Xiao Mingchen thought for a while, "Otherwise, don't be your general, let's go to the south to find a place with beautiful mountains and waters, and I can teach and sell paintings to support my family."

"Your Highness, you really opened my eyes," Xia Feng was amazed, "His mouth is full of benevolence and morality, and his face is worried about the country and the people, why is it so different in his heart?" Do others know your ambition?

"Only you know. Xiao Mingchen was full, poured two cups of tea, took a cup, and slowly touched it: "Born with the surname Xiao, it is not my wish, the building will fall, the responsibility I should bear, I will do it conscientiously." But if I were given a choice, I'd rather be born in an ordinary family.

Xia Feng only looked at him and smiled, and his water-cut eyes were warm and pleasant. She is strong in nature and has a cold and hard personality, and before she met Xiao Mingchen, she was a person who had nothing to do with gentleness.

When she first saw Xiao Mingchen, she thought that this prince who grew up in the deep palace was either strange or gloomy and vicious. Now after getting along for nearly a year, I found that his gentleness and indifference actually grew into his bones.

The marriage decree floated through the broken half, and finally reached Huaiyuan as promised.

Xia Yi held the holy decree in his hand, although he knew that this was requested by his daughter, he couldn't help but scold: "This turtle grandson, really think that he is the emperor?" Don't pee and take pictures of yourself.

He finished scolding in one breath and looked at Xiao Mingchen, and made a final struggle in a serious voice: "Your Highness, have you thought about it?" Feng'er, her nature, I don't know what obedience is, if you have a conflict in the future, her dog temper is not easy to handle.

"It's okay, I'll go with her." Xiao Mingchen took the holy decree with a smile and put it into his sleeve, "Ah Feng has character, principles, and ability, which is a good thing.

"You..." Xia Yi wanted to blow his beard and glare again, and waved his hand helplessly, "Forget it, I don't care much about the affairs of the two of you." "

Xiao Mingchen himself is living in the Duke of Xia Guo's Mansion, and naturally there is no place to do the wedding, so he has to arrange it together in the Duke Xia Guo's Mansion.

Xia Yi looked at the family with joy, and suddenly felt like a door-to-door son-in-law, but as soon as he thought about the origin of this false door-to-door son-in-law, he immediately covered up.

In the past, as a courtier, he saw how much King Ning liked it, and now as an old man, he saw how responsive King Ning was. Xiao Mingchen didn't know which tendon was wrong, so he went to him when he had nothing to do, sometimes it was the situation of government affairs, and sometimes he was just talking about the world.

Xia Guogong saw His Royal Highness King Ning's heart was stuffed, and he couldn't avoid it, so he could only endure it and secretly rubbed it in his heart to scold Xia Feng.

Xia Feng, who was far away in the northwest camp, was remembered and sneezed several times. She rubbed her sore nose and asked Qian Shan, "Is everything arranged?" Remember, you can't go wrong.

"The whole house and the Huaiyuan family are all watching. It's just..." Qian Shan frowned and said, "The group of Qiang assassins who assassinated my husband last time were definitely not idle, and they haven't shown their heads since. After all, we are in the light, they are in the dark, and I am worried that there will be some unpreventable chaos. "

The snake-headed scimitar comes from Mobei, it is unique to the barbarian guards, and it will not be easily dispatched. I always thought that the last assassination was aimed at me, but now that I think about it, it should not be.

Xia Feng stood up: "I have been dealing with Nai Man for several years, he should know that when idle people can't get close to me, it is useless to send assassins to kill me." Therefore, Taiyuan's assassination is likely to be aimed at King Ning.

"But why did they come to our house to assassinate my husband?" Qian Shan wondered.

"I don't know, maybe it's a cover-up, maybe..." Xia Feng paused for a moment and picked up the long sword hanging on the shelf, "My dad showed some flaws here, making people feel that they can win in one move." Therefore, among the close people around my father, there must be a meticulous work.

"Nai Man's chess game is big, and the layout began decades ago, and everywhere around us may be the nails he planted." Qian Shan said sadly, "Do you have to do this?" You can get married, but you will have a chance in your life.

Xia Feng shone his long sword into the light and blew off the falling dust: "I can't put a hidden danger around, especially in the future, King Ning will often live in the mansion." If I don't pull out all the nails of Huaiyuan, I will probably be in trouble day and night. "

Miss, I, do you think it will be..." Qian Shan hesitated, "Will it be Mrs. Wei?" "

I don't know," Xia Feng gently wiped the long sword, "This is the sword left by my mother, and I don't want it to be stained with the blood of the Wei family." As long as the Wei family does not collaborate with the enemy, I will at least leave them with their lives. But if..."

She looked outside the tent, silent for a long time, just when Qian Shan thought that she would not speak again, she suddenly said: "I can only change it, how bad it is to dirty my mother's eyes."

"Madame probably reincarnated and couldn't see it." Qian Shan pouted, "Otherwise, I will rush at you."Do what you do, and the dream comes to hit you.

Xia Feng didn't know her in general, and only waved his hand to let people roll.

Qian Shan did not roll, but sat down justifiably: "Miss, Mrs. Wei asked me to bring you a word, take time to go back to the house, try on the wedding dress, and arrange the scene in advance." There are some necessary etiquettes that you have to learn in advance.

"Just let her look at it." Xia Feng's head suddenly grew three times, "It's all red tape, what is there to learn." You brought me the wedding dress, and I've been busy lately.

"There is neither external war nor civil strife, what are you busy with?" Qian Shan was inexplicable, and then hated iron and steel: "Miss, becoming a family is only once in a lifetime, can you pay attention to it!" Your Royal Highness King Ning would be sad if he knew your perfunctory attitude.

"Where am I perfunctory? I didn't lose my heart either. Xia Feng threw down his sword, sat back, and looked up at the blank top of the tent. The delicate and beautiful goose egg face was sometimes sad, sometimes joyful, sometimes anxious, sometimes excited, and he didn't put on a decent expression for half a ring.

"No, Miss, you won't be scared, will you? Qian Shan first watched her change of face strangely, and then suddenly realized, and comforted insincerely: "Also, how can there be a bride who is not afraid and not nervous, don't worry, how good it is to marry." In the future, there will be someone to warm the bed, someone to pour hot tea, and you can add fragrance to your red sleeves at night, and cut candle flowers together. The

more Xia Feng listened, the tighter his brows furrowed: "Where did you hear that?" How to make a rogue pie.

"What Yu Han told me in the letter, why is it a rogue?" Qian Shan pouted and said dissatisfied, "Isn't this human nature?

Xia Feng seemed to know her again, and was very surprised, and looked up and down for half a sound to determine that this was indeed the Qian Shan who had grown up with him since he was a child: "Didn't Yu Han return to Yanzhou?" You two still communicate with each other? Does he look like a little Shao Jun? Can you still see your face when the sun sets?

"Miss! Qian Shan stood up and raised his chin: "You think I'm you?" I'm not one to look good. Yu Han is honest and motivated, and gentle and considerate, which is better than those little white faces.

She finished talking with her waist crossed, and went out the door with a high spirit. Only Xia Feng, who liked the little white face and took people with his appearance, continued to deal with official business alone in the military tent.

Xia Feng inked in the camp for a few more days, pinched his fingers to count the days, and returned to Huaiyuan two days before becoming a couple. After all, he wants to marry himself, and if he really only shows his face on the wedding day, it will be too unusual.

Spring and summer in the northwest are extremely short, and people often can't help but wonder if half of the year is winter. Poplar leaves fell all over the ground, and only the famous magpie's nest remained on the bare branches.

A few famous magpies with thick legs and round waists squatted on the plaque of the Guogong Mansion and called blindly. Xia Feng threw a stone in his hand, aimed at the fattest one, and was about to strike, when a hurried and eager voice came into his ears: "Miss, you can't fight, the magpie is shouting in front of the door, and the happy event is coming home." If you run away, it won't work. When

Xia Feng heard this, he threw away the stone and looked at the woman in front of the door, who was the daughter-in-law of Xia Caijia, the housekeeper of the Guogong Mansion. She smiled: "Aunt Xiu, why do you stand at the door?"

"I don't know what happened tonight, I just think you'll come back, young lady." No, I really made me wait for you. Aunt Xiu kindly stepped forward to pull Xia Feng into the door, chattering as she walked, "Come with me, Madame has been waiting for you, if you don't come back to try on the wedding dress, it's too late to change it if it's not suitable." "

She was Xia Feng's mother's dowry maid, and later married the housekeeper of Xia Mansion, watching Xia Feng grow up since she was a child, she was very invisible.

"Hey, Aunt Xiu. Xia Feng saw that she was about to pull herself into Aunt Wei's courtyard, and hurriedly stopped her, "Don't worry, you can try on your wedding dress at any time." I will go to His Royal Highness King Ning first, and there are some official duties to discuss. "

Nope. Aunt Xiu straightened up her thick waist and blocked in front of her, "It's about to get married, how can the couple meet?" Come, come with me to try on the wedding dress first. "

Aunt Xiu has been blowing a ball from a delicate girl since she married the housekeeper Xia, she is tall, like a wall in front of her, Xia Feng's arm was held by her, and she struggled lightly twice, but she didn't break away.

When she was a child, her parents were busy and not around, and she was taken care of by Aunt Xiu, and she could barely endure Aunt Xiu's enthusiasm, listening to Aunt Xiu's muttering, and was pulled all the way into Aunt Wei's yard.

Aunt Wei wore a concubine-colored cotton robe today, and her dull yellow face became a little more popular. She was discussing the trivial matters at the wedding with a room of mothers-in-law and maids, and heard Aunt Xiu's big voice and came out to greet her with a smile: "The eldest lady can be counted as back, hurry, come in." "

The female relatives who can be called in the house are there, and the silk flowers are neatly arranged, and the room is full of joy. Xia Feng was startled by this battle, and entered the door unnaturally: "What is this for?" Discuss and wait for me? "

It's really not waiting for you," Aunt Wei said with a smile, "In two days it will be a greeting ceremony, the father-in-law ordered that it cannot be simple, all aspects must be in line with the identity of His Royal Highness Prince Ning, this is the list for banquet guests, can you take a look?"

"Don't give it to me, I'll just call the shots of these things." Uncle Xia Feng sat on the chair like a chair, his face was full of impatience, and he said unimpressed: "Welcome what relative, King Ning is in the mansion, just worship heaven and earth." How do I qualify as a prince? Does he still want us to go to Shengjing to worship the Taimiao?

"You're going to get married, and your temperament won't change at all." Aunt Wei shook her head with a bit of indulgence, looking at her eyes like looking at a child, happy and abrupt: "Since you have returned, try on the clothes quickly, the wedding dress is made in a hurry, the embroiderer is still in the house, if you are not satisfied, you must say as soon as possible."

Xia Feng pinched a fruit and threw it into his mouth, secretly scanning the female dependents in the inner room, listening to their messy noise. After patiently chewing a plate, he stood up and left: "Let the wedding dress be sent to my room, I'll go back and try it." Lately there have been a lot of trivial matters, hard girl.

"What's so hard about this, it's my duty." Aunt Wei lowered her head shyly and chuckled, seeing that her face was full of eagerness, without the slightest intention of staying, she couldn't help but instruct: "Miss, you can't go to see His Royal Highness King Ning, you can't meet for three days before marriage."

"Okay, got it. Xia Feng didn't look back, and hurried out. The little smile on her face that could barely be maintained disappeared without a trace as she left Aunt Wei's courtyard.

In the end, she was a little concerned about etiquette, did not go directly to King Ning, and was startled when she returned to her courtyard.

Red ribbons, red lanterns hanging everywhere, the room was neatly cleaned up, the gauze curtains and draperies were replaced with big red, and the peanuts and red dates on the bed were messy, and it was impossible to sleep people. Xia Feng then remembered that in fact, the mansion was also full of red, but she ran elsewhere with her full of thoughts, and did not pay attention at all.

The maid who gave the wedding dress then arrived, followed by a Qian Shan who had nothing to do, and ridiculed: "Miss, this is the meaning of the husband, you will be a new house here." So let's squeeze these days.

"Is he really King Ning's son-in-law?" Xia Feng frowned and looked at the arrangements in the house, waved his hand to drive the maids out, pulled out the beautifully embroidered red wedding dress in the cage, and carefully inspected it.

"What can be wrong with that? Qian Shan leaned in and stared, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's so beautiful." There

was no extra thread on the wedding dress, and Xia Feng threw it aside, staring at the room with red eyes and deep thought.

All ingredients and materials in the house are responsible for a special person, and the source is fixed. Her marriage to King Ning was in a hurry, and everything was simple, and everything was ready in two months.

During this time, although Xia Feng was not in the Guogong Mansion, he knew everything well and sent people to keep a close eye on him everywhere. But so far, not a single anomaly has been found. Everyone everything is in order, there is no mess at all.

This was very unusual, and Xia Feng could not catch the slightest evidence. Everything can only be judged by the most primitive intuition. I don't like this feeling very much, I always feel that things are thereGradually get out of your own control.

This uncomfortable feeling lasted until the eve of the wedding, mixed with a little expectation and worry, mixed in Xia Feng's heart, with mixed tastes, sitting and lying down.

For the first time, she abided by the rules and forcibly did not go to see Xiao Mingchen, but she forgot the pedantic scholarly nature of His Royal Highness King Ning, and did not say that she met for a few days, and did not even let people pass on a news.

She asked people to pass on the words to His Royal Highness King Ning, and all the stones sank into the sea. Of course, these words are all nonsense, maybe Xiao Mingchen really doesn't know what to say.

Xia Feng was sitting under the corridor looking at the moon with a melancholy and expectant mood, and suddenly heard the sound of the roof, and in a moment, Guan Er's ghost shadow fell to his side. She said angrily, "What are you doing here?" "

Send something to Your Highness." Guan Er took out an envelope and handed it over respectfully, "Commander, Your Highness said, it's late at night, let you go to bed early." "

The envelope was heavy in my hand, and I didn't know what it contained. Xia Feng was secretly excited, and secretly pinched his palm: "Got it, you get out."
After
Sekiji left, she went back to her room and opened the envelope. It is a jade comb, delicate and clear under the moonlight. The sides are carved with simple auspicious cloud patterns, and the carving is not very exquisite. There is a line of small characters engraved on the back, and the iron painting silver hook is a handwritten by King Ning.

As a husband and wife, there is no doubt about love. (Note 1)

Xia Feng snickered for a long time, put the jade comb close to his body, and slept at ease.

Xiao Jing promised that the royal mansion built by King Ning in the northwest did not even have a brick, and King Ning did not have a royal mansion, so he had to treat the Guogong Mansion as his own home.

The groom official is alone, but welcoming relatives is an essential step.

Therefore, Xia Guogong came up with a bad idea, let Xiao Mingchen take people to make a welcoming posture at the gate of the Guogong Mansion early in the morning, and carried Xia Feng out of the mansion with a large palanquin, circled around Huaiyuan City and then entered the mansion gate.

The two played monkey and dressed up to tour the city, allowing the people of Huaiyuan to have a good look. Xia Feng sat in the palanquin and felt uncomfortable, wanting to kill his father countless times.

She hid in the palanquin and didn't need to see anyone, but King Ning wanted to wear flowers to the city in an upright manner. Xia Feng blushed when he thought of Xiao Mingchen being provoked in Pingsuli, his expression moved slightly, and he quietly lifted the red hood and looked at the person walking in the front on horseback from between the gaps in the gauze curtain.

Xiao Mingchen was dressed in red, and his face was like a crown jade. He looked pleasant, chuckled, and the people on the roadside nodded in response to his shouts, without the slightest hint of shyness.

Xia Feng: ... Is this a substitution under the shell?

The northwest folk style is simple and open, Xiao Mingchen is too handsome, and the exclamation of women is heard from time to time in the street restaurant.

Today, the marshal got married, the main street of Huaiyuan City was crowded, and everyone in the eight northwestern states wanted to come and be happy. There were many people standing by the fence of the street in the restaurant watching the liveliness, pushing and jostling, screaming and shouting mixed with throwing flowers and throwing cloths.

Xia Feng quietly looked out through the gauze curtain and secretly noted the woman who shouted the most.

I don't know who stepped on whose foot in the crowded restaurant, and the noise was drowned out in the shouts of joy around me.

The two middle-aged men quarreled with red faces, ignoring the dissuasion of the people around them, and fought hard. The big man couldn't catch the lean man with a flexible body several times, and in anger, he kicked off the guardrail on the third floor of the restaurant. Many people stood by the guardrail, and the chaotic pushing caused several people to fall down the third floor.

The greeting team happened to walk directly below the restaurant, and the captain of the guard heard the movement and quickly commanded the soldiers to protect King Ning and take strict precautions. However, the chaotic crowd did not listen to the command, and at first glance they saw that there was chaos around them, and the crowd was crowded, and suddenly chickens and dogs jumped.

The two of them fought hard in the restaurant, and the big man saw the chaos on the street, his eyes flashed, and he moved two steps towards the fence. The lean man chased after him with a punch, and the big man fell with a bang, rushing straight towards the groom official who was surrounded by all the soldiers.

"Your Highness be careful! The captain of the guard looked up in panic and looked at the behemoth falling from the sky, but he was also five steps away from King Ning, and he didn't have time to react.

Xiao Mingchen's face tightened, and he dodged to the side in a flash. The big man fell in the air, and the strong wind that brought it with him blew the wide sleeves of the dress. The snake-headed scimitar cut through the corners of his robe, and the blade pointed directly at Xiao Mingchen's throat.

With a "boom", he raised his arm and put his bracer against the blade.

The sound of phantom music came from all directions, intertwined, strange and cold. It was obviously a sunny day in early autumn, which made everyone break out in a cold sweat.

The big man's light-colored eyes were like wild beasts, his eyes were facing each other, and Xiao Mingchen felt palpitations when he saw it, he staggered to avoid another attack from the snake's head scimitar, and his palm passed by the blade in panic, breaking a bloody hole.

The assassins hiding among the people took the opportunity to come out, and the sharp arrows from the crossbows shot towards the palanquin in the miserable white sun. Xia Feng lifted the hood, ripped off the cumbersome wedding dress and was about to leave the sedan when he was shocked to find that the sound of breaking the void came in the air.

She put out her sword to block, her hand was soft, and she actually unloaded the force.
