Chapter 163 The night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber
It was also the first time that he could watch Fu Xiu bow his head and admit his mistake to him!
Everything was ready, and he marched out of the palace with the eunuchs and guards.
What one imagines is that the people kneel down and worship him, thinking that he is a wise ruler and a good brother, otherwise why would he personally send a cousin to the funeral.
But soon he was slapped in the face.
After leaving the palace, the streets were empty and the houses were closed, as if it was a deserted city.
He originally thought it was just a short distance, so he could only hold his temper and keep moving forward.
This time we finally walked some distance away, but there was no one around. It was an empty city with no people. It was so quiet that only the sounds of poultry could be heard.
This scene made his heart clench, and at the same time he had a bad feeling.
"Someone! Someone! What's going on? Where are the people? Where are the people on the street?"
He roared, and immediately a guard came up behind him and quickly whispered something in his ear.
"Fu Xiu!" He shouted through gritted teeth, with terrifying murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
How dare Fu Xiu do this! He is simply lawless! He is arrogant! He doesn't even take the emperor seriously!
If Fu Xiu didn't want to usurp the throne, how could he dare to do such a thing!
How could he swallow this anger if he didn't deal with Fu Xiu!
"Your Majesty, then we..." The imperial guard seemed to be hesitant to speak.
He understood the purpose of the emperor's visit, but there was no one here now. Should they continue? If they continued, no one would see them, and it would be a waste of time.
"Continue!" The emperor sat on the horse, his face distorted with hatred.
"Take some people with you and knock on every door. I don't believe there won't be a single person. As long as you find one person, let them stand on the side of the road and watch me hold the funeral for Princess Yanran!"
At this point, he was so angry that he had no idea what kind of situation this action would put him in.
The imperial guard naturally understood this, but he did not dare to say much and could only obey the order.
Although there are indeed no people on the streets of the city now, there are still a few people who come when you knock on the door.
For example, elderly people with limited mobility or those with poor legs and feet naturally cannot leave the city.
There are also some people who need to take care of patients at home, so naturally they can't go.
These people were called out by the guards who knocked on the door.
Everyone had some complaints in their hearts, but they didn't dare to raise them, for fear that they would be dealt with by these guards with swords.
But they didn’t expect that the emperor would be so... unreasonable!
It was just a funeral for a princess, but they ignored the wishes and lives of the people.
It's totally different from General Fu. General Fu said that no matter what your status is, you can attend the banquet as long as you go.
If it is inconvenient for you to go, don’t go. You can go to the entrance of the General’s Mansion tomorrow to collect the wedding candy.
The difference between the two is simply too obvious.
But the emperor didn't notice anything wrong, he was even a little complacent.
As expected, he is the emperor, the Son of Heaven, and who dares to disobey his orders?
Look, these people didn't even go to Fu Xiu's wedding banquet, but now they are willing to go out to see him. This is the difference between him and Fu Xiu! Fu Xiu will never be as good as him!
At this point, his mind was already somewhat twisted, otherwise how could he think of such a stupid thing!
Originally, he was thinking of attending Fu Xiu’s wedding banquet after Yanran’s funeral. No matter what, as the emperor, he still had to do this superficial work!
But now he doesn't want to go. Since Fu Xiu dared to plot against him like this, what else can he do to show off?
It's only a few days anyway, so he can just be patient for now.
Outside the city, there are temporary sheds and tents, and people are everywhere. Today's buffet can feed everyone in the city.
But Su Man could only hear all of this, because as a bride it was inconvenient for her to meet guests and she could only sit in the tent.
But there were two children with her, and no matter how she persuaded them, the two children refused to go out to play.
The two children said that they can have the banquet at any time and watch the fun at any time.
But today is mom and dad’s wedding, and they must stay with mom.
Fortunately, there was no one else in the tent, so Su Man was able to lift her veil and chat with the two children and eat.
After a while, the eldest princess, Madam Qin and Nanny Yu also came in.
They prepared a table of banquet and came in to eat with Su Man.
Of course, Nanny Yu was not allowed to sit at the table. She was guarding outside the door. The only people eating were the eldest princess, Madam Qin, Su Man and the two children.
While eating, the eldest princess couldn't help teasing Su Man.
"You are so lucky. General Fu is so kind to you."
Su Man looked at her subconsciously, not understanding why the eldest princess suddenly said this, but she also nodded.
From any perspective, Fu Xiu was very good to her, so there was nothing wrong with admitting it.
When the princess saw Su Man like this, she knew what Su Man was thinking.
She smiled softly and said,
"You, I'm afraid you don't know that on the wedding day, the bride cannot eat anything except the bowl of hundred-fruit soup that day, right? And no one else can accompany her, only the nanny and the personal maid."
Su Man was slightly stunned. She really didn't know about this.
Because from the day they decided to get married, Fu Xiu had said that she should leave everything to him and she didn't have to worry about anything.
And she really did not care about anything. As for the rules, perhaps because Fu Xiu had instructed them in advance, no one had ever mentioned the rules in front of her.
"Even for me, my husband's family didn't send me a banquet openly. Only my husband asked the nanny to bring me snacks and fruits in private. So when you look at this banquet, think about how good Fu Xiu is to you."
The eldest princess' words made Su Man smile even more deeply. She didn't feel embarrassed at all, but admitted it openly.
"He is indeed very good. If he wasn't good enough, why would I marry him?"
Her words made the Princess and Madam Qin laugh, and at the same time, they admired Su Man even more.
People like this really shouldn't be too nice to them or they will like them too much.
Although they had already arrived outside the city and the wedding was a little different from before, Su Man could only see Fu Xiu at night.
The sun slowly set in the west, and they were ready to return.
The person from the palace didn't come at this time, so it is definitely impossible for him to appear again.
Moreover, the eldest princess also told Su Man just now that the people arranged by Fu Xiu in the city had already told them that the person in the palace who was furious had returned to the palace after the funeral of Li Yan, and he was probably furious in the palace at this time.
When we returned, it was still as grand as when we left the city.
When the emperor and the empress dowager in the palace received the news, their faces were also very ugly.
I didn't expect Fu Xiu would dare to be so blatant now.
It turns out that we can’t keep people here anymore.
Back at the gate of the general's mansion, the eldest princess acted as the matchmaker and helped Su Man get off the bridal sedan.
Then he used a red silk cloth to let the two people hold each other's hands and walk into the general's mansion.
Because of this stretch of her hand, the bracelet on Su Man's wrist was also revealed.
Some ladies knew what it was as soon as they saw it and were immediately shocked.
It seems that the princess is really good to Fu Xiu. She even gave this bracelet to Fu Xiu's wife.
Su Man didn't know what these people were thinking. She only knew that her heartbeat suddenly quickened the moment she held the red silk cloth. She knew that from this moment on, their wedding would officially begin.
Even through the red silk cloth, Su Man could feel Fu Xiu's nervousness on the other end.
"Don't be afraid." Fu Xiu's voice sounded in his ears, "We are home."
Under the red veil, Su Man hummed softly.
"I know. I'm not afraid. But you have to keep an eye on the two children. There are so many people here. You have to tell them to be careful and not have any accidents."
The two of them were talking in low voices as if no one was around. Although no one could hear what they were saying, it did not stop everyone from admiring their love.
It is said that General Fu loves his wife very much, and they live in harmony and love each other very much. Now it seems to be true.
Fu Xiu's heart was filled with joy. His wife had always been so good.
On a day like today, he still cares about his two children. How could he not like it?
"Don't worry, they're following right behind, nothing will happen."
"That's good."
Su Man breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still quite worried about the two children.
After all, many plots on TV involve bad guys taking advantage of chaos to do strange things, and she was also afraid that something might happen to her two children.
After knowing the two children's background, she was really afraid that something might happen to them.
Because Fu Xiu's parents were not at home, they just used the ranking system to pay respects to their parents.
Of course, in the end, the two of them still bowed to Old Man Fan, Aunt Qin, and the eldest princess.
Old man Fan's eyes were moist. It was really hard for him not to like this girl.
After the wedding ceremony, Su Man was sent to the bridal chamber, and Fu Xiu did not follow her back.
Since a wedding banquet had been held outside the city during the day, there was no need to hold another one in the evening. Instead, a few tables of banquet were set up for acquaintances.
Su Man was sitting on the bed. Nanny Yu and two maids were accompanying her in the room.
As for the two children, they were not allowed in.
Nanny Yu waved her hand to let the two maids go out, and she walked up to Su Man and whispered a few words to her.
"Madam, you don't have to worry later. Just relax and leave everything to the general. This is the first step for a girl to become a woman. Don't be afraid."
Even Su Man couldn't help but feel a little hot on her face when she heard this.
But she didn't forget her identity.
"Madame Yu, don't worry. I already have two children. I know that." She said calmly.
After hearing these words, Nanny Yu just smiled and said a few good words.
She has lived a lifetime, and was a powerful figure when she was young, otherwise she would not have been able to guard the general's mansion after Fu Xiu left for so many years.
So she had long seen that Su Man was still a girl, but she didn't say much about the two children.
This is the master's business, she just needs to do her job well.
Su Man also understood that Nanny Yu might not believe what she said, but she didn't explain much.
No matter what, Nanny Yu is Fu Xiu's person, so there won't be any problem.
With a creak, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside.
Su Man's heart beat faster when she heard the familiar footsteps.
"General." Nanny Yu called out.
Fu Xiu hummed lightly, walked in front of Su Man, lowered his head and looked at her intently.
Nanny Yu looked at the two of them with a smile.
"I wish the general and his wife a long and happy marriage and a son soon."
"Thank you." Su Man replied softly.
Fu Xiu didn't say anything, but just looked at Su Man, as if he couldn't look at her enough.
Nanny Yu smiled cheerfully and quickly left the room.
She couldn't stay here any longer at this time.
When Su Man heard that Nanny Yu had left, her heart beat even faster.
Moreover, that person's gaze was so scorching that even though she was covered with a red veil, she could still feel the burning temperature.
She bit her lip lightly and said calmly,
"What are you still looking at? Hurry up and lift the veil. There seem to be too many things on the bed. It's uncomfortable for me to sit on it. And the jewelry on my head is very heavy. My neck is sore."
"Okay." Fu Xiu replied softly, then picked up the pole from the table next to him.
Su Man waited nervously.
Although both of them looked calm on the surface, they were actually very nervous.
The veil was lifted, and Su Man's eyes suddenly opened up.
The first thing she did was to look up at Fu Xiu. After a whole day, she finally saw this man.
The moment she saw the man, Su Man's breath stopped and her heart began beating wildly.
She had always known that men were good-looking, and she thought that after seeing them for so long, she had become immune to them.
But now, when she saw the man wearing a headband and a gorgeous red wedding dress, she knew what experience meant.
In the past, Fu Xiu always wore plain-colored clothes, and this bright red outfit was the first time he wore it.
Wearing such brightly colored clothes, Fu Xiu looked a little more stunning than usual.
This kind of stunning beauty makes people so fascinated that they can't take their eyes off it, just like Su at this moment, staring blankly at the man in front of her.
Fu Xiu was very satisfied with Su Man's reaction.
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, bent down slightly and leaned towards Su Man's ear, and said softly,
"My wife's gaze is so passionate that I can hardly control myself."
When Su Man heard this, her face suddenly turned red.
"Ahem... shameless!" She glared at Fu Xiu directly.
But this glance also made Fu Xiu's Adam's apple roll up and down, and his eyes were instantly filled with an indescribable lust.
In fact, it wasn’t just Su Man who was amazed, but Fu Xiu as well.
"My lady, you are so beautiful today."
His voice was hoarse, as if he was restraining something.
Su Man's face became even hotter. She turned her eyes away slightly and stammered,
"I...I have always been...this beautiful, you just don't know it."
