Xiao Wangye's Beloved Wife
Chapters 108. BonChap: Rong Xuan's
THREE YEARS AGO -
Wedding palanquins and bridal procession walk towards the Palace. Rong Xuan, the woman sat gracefully inside the palanquin with red hanfu embroidered using Phoenix-patterned golden threads.
The crown of Phoenix was perched on his head, the entire Capital City was celebrating their Crown Prince's marriage to himself, Rong Xuan. The eldest daughter of Prime Minister Rong, who will be legally appointed Crown Princess today.
Arriving at the Palace, his palanquin door was immediately opened. From behind his hood, he could see the figure of Xiao Jihuang who stood up gallantly opening the door for him and now reaching out to him to help him down.
Xiao Jihuang wore a black groom outfit, then there was a golden dragon embroidery on the back of her clothes.
Rong Xuan suppressed his nervousness, then returned Xiao Jihuang's helping hand to immediately get off the stretcher. Outside, all the ministers and officials were already lined up long stretches facing each other all the way into the Imperial Hall.
Xiao Jihuang clasped tightly onto Rong Xuan's hand. The two of them walked together towards the Imperial Hall, within which were already present the high-level nobles and other royal families.
Xiao Jihuang and Rong Xuan did not speak a single word, the two of them walked stiffly together without speaking like soldiers.
Arriving inside, the Emperor's personal eunuch called for instructions three times bowing respectfully. First to the parents, then to the couple, then to the sky.
"Near, son." The Emperor ordered Rong Xuan to come closer to him.
Rong Xuan knelt down, while Xiao Jihuang remained standing at the back of his wife.
"In this blissful day, Zhen officially appointed you Crown Princess of the Eastern Empire legitimately. Rong Xuan, the eldest daughter of the Rong family, officially becomes the Crown Prince's wife and will live a life of complementarity and help, for the sake of the Empire's survival."
As soon as the Emperor said this, the gong was beaten three times. A sound of standing ovation rang out, Rong Xuan immediately got up as soon as the Emperor personally helped him. The woman's lips smiled, then bowed towards the Emperor before finally turning around and looking at Xiao Jihuang.
Rong Xuan walked back to where he was, now that he had faced each other with Xiao Jihuang. Xiao Jihuang slowly moved both of her hands, then opened the hood of Rong Xuan's head that had covered the sharp beauty of the woman.
Rong Xuan closed his eyes for a moment as his hood had already opened entirely, then opened his eyes again and smiled looking at Xiao Jihuang.
Xiao Jihuang smiled faintly, she showed her best facial look today. Swallowed all the feelings and secrets that only he and God knew.
Xiao Jihuang moved closer, then kissed the old Rong Xuan's forehead. Again the sounds of applause, cheers, and happy congratulations were heard. Today, the Eastern Empire officially has the Crown Princess as well as the future next generation Huanghou.
After the wedding celebration party was over, Rong Xuan immediately headed for her new residence. The palace of the residence of the Crown Princess, there are various kinds of small to large decorations in red. Very lovely.
As soon as he entered the room, Rong Xuan smiled as he looked at the huge red rose bucket lying on the bed. Before long a servant came and said, "Your majesty, this red rose is specially prepared by his Highness the Crown Prince for you. The Crown Prince hopes that with this small gift, the noble can smile happily and adjust comfortably in the Palace. The Crown Prince also said, tonight you should not be sad or moody, because the Crown Prince feels your beauty tonight is like a red rose. And ... tonight, you are allowed to rest first, there is no need to wait for him, because his majesty is having other business outside and will only return late at night."
Rong Xuan was still smiling, his smile continued to expand and warm. The woman does not suspect anything, although it is actually a bit strange if there is still work on her own wedding day like this.
"I understand, thank you. You may leave," replied Rong Xuan, then walk towards the bed and sit on the edge. His hand pulled out a single stalk of rose, then sipped it elegantly.
The next morning, Rong Xuan was ready with his golden-white hanfu. The woman was now slowly trying to adjust to being the 'Crown Princess' and did her entire job to the maximum.
He was very excited today, as he was going to visit Xiao Jihuang. Rong Xuan brought a tray containing green tea cups personally to the Xiao Jihuang residence Palace. The woman would greet her husband and then the two of them immediately headed for the Huanghou Palace to greet together.
"Is the Prince inside?" rong Xuan asked kindly to the gatekeeper.
Rong Xuan nodded in satisfaction, after which continued his footsteps. His lips continued to smile, until finally the smile faded as he stopped right in front of Xiao Jihuang's room door and heard the man's conversation with someone.
Rong Xuan petrified in his position, slowly the look on his warm face disappeared.
"Your highness, how could you visit Huang Junzhu on your wedding day with the Crown Princess?If anyone knew this news, bad rumors would emerge. This is very bad for your reputation and Huang Junzhu himself."
"I just want to be with him. The woman ... must have been very disappointed and traumatized after being violently yelled at by my Muhou. Mingxiang ... he really did not get anything from his hard efforts all along. Isn't that cruel? Women have even fainted and fallen ill because they are constantly learning to fulfill Muhou's dream. But ... now look. He didn't get anything."
"Aiishh .. But can't you make her a concubine? Being a high-titled concubine like 'Huang Guifei' or 'Guifei' in the future ...?"
"Huang Guifei ...? True, but the title cannot be filled by just anyone. Huang Mingxiang was indeed worthy and highly qualified to become a 'Huanghou' yet to fill the title of 'Huang Guifei' he was still not enough. Anyhow ... 'Huang Guifei' is a concubine, to achieve the title of that concubine with the title below before should have a great and clear contribution to the Harem as well as the Empire."
"Ah .. right, what a pity .... But, what's the difficulty? No matter what title of concubine Huang Junzhu will get before, after she gives birth to a child for you and with her clear achievements and background, isn't that already highly qualified? I understand the difficulty, because the title is indeed very contrary to the title of 'Huanghou' long ago. The title of a concubine who only had one level of power with a 'Huanghou'. Then ... what will you do in front of him with the Crown Princess, your highness?"
"I'll take it. The Emperor's decision is also indisputable, even Muhou himself who pleaded was not heard at all by my father. I will not forbid the Crown Princess to do anything, if she wants to leave then please, if not. After all, I'm sure he married me because he was forced to. A Rong Xiaojie couldn't possibly not have a special lover or fan, right?"
Rong Xuan silently listened to it all. His heart felt like it was pierced by the sharpest sword. This was the first day of her life after marriage, but .. destiny had to make her hear such hurtful sentences from her husband's own mouth.
Realizing that there were approaching footsteps, Rong Xuan hurried to resuscitate himself and straighten his posture. Trying to show a normal face.
Rekt ....
The door opened, a man in blue and white clothes appeared. There was a sword hanging on the man's waist, it seemed like he was Xiao Jihuang's personal bodyguard.
"Yes-his majesty ...." The man immediately bowed nervously towards Rong Xuan.
Rong Xuan tried to smile. "Master Ming ...."
"Is .... has your majesty waited long outside?" asked the man, his face looked worried.
Rong Xuan shook his head slowly, his lips still smiling. "I just arrived. What's up, Mr Ming?"
The man heaved a sigh of relief, after which returned a smile and shook his head slowly. "Nothing, your honor. I just want to make sure, worried that your majesty has waited too long because of me."
Rong Xuan shook his head, then walked past the man as he said, "You don't have to worry, I've just actually arrived."
"Your majesty." Rong Xuan added her smile to her as she looked at Xiao Jihuang who also looked nervous.
Xiao Jihuang stood in front of her bed, the man was wrapped around the bandage in his palm. While quietly exiting Huang Fu after sneaking in last night, Xiao Jihuang caught his guard and hit one of the traps there. Now his hand is injured.
Rong Xuan frowned, the woman hurriedly put down her tea cup tray and walked over to Xiao Jihuang. Rong Xuan gently rolled Xiao Jihuang over to sit on the edge of the mattress with her, then the woman took over the winding of Xiao Jihuang.
"Your majesty, how can you be hurt? Did something happen when you were in a meeting last night?" rong Xuan asked, his countenance looking worried. The woman kept her mouth shut and harbored all the facts and pain even though she knew it.
