Wine and Frost

How the dinner ended in the end, Fu Shuang couldn't remember clearly.The oppressive feeling of eating at the emperor's table made him hardly dare to move his chopsticks.And since the emperor finished talking about the marriage, his father's expression became very strange.

Fu Shuang was very puzzled, looking at his elder brother with eyes full of help.It's just that Fu Miao was also puzzled by Monk Zhang Er, and was also extremely confused. She just felt that the atmosphere of the dinner was so strange.

After returning home that day, Fu Shuang rested in the prime minister's mansion for a few days. She thought about going back to the other courtyard in the mountains, but was told by her father that she didn't have to go back this year.

In fact, the prime minister had planned for a long time. In the past few years, Fu Shuang's body has been taken care of, and his complexion is much better than before, so he doesn't have to live in the remote mountain courtyard all the time.After the prime minister finalized the result, he informed Ruoqing and asked her to go back to the other courtyard to sort out Fu Shuang's clothes, books and other luggage before hiring someone to transport them back to the prime minister's mansion.

At the same time, by the way, those cooks and servants who were originally assigned to the other courtyard were also sent back to the prime minister's residence, leaving only a few old servants to take care of the courtyard.

Fu Shuang also loves those delicate dim sum so much, she couldn't say how happy she was after hearing the news.

On the other hand, Fu Tanglin had no choice but to think about what the emperor said at the dinner table that day.He also received news that Ling Xuehan should rush back to Chang'an from the border in the past few days.Thinking about His Majesty's attitude again, I am afraid that the marriage grant is coming soon.Thinking of this, the prime minister frowned and sighed day and night.

Naturally, he didn't want his son to commit himself to marrying a man. Originally, he wanted to find a suitable marriage for Fu Shuang after he recovered.Who would have thought that such an accident would happen.If the marriage was really given, it must be Fu Shuang who married him. Ling Xuehan is also a martial artist, so he knows exactly whether his son has any skills.

Sure enough, not long after Ling Xuehan returned to Chang'an, the next day the emperor sent two father-in-laws to send an edict to the Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion respectively.

Fu Tanglin knelt at the main entrance to receive the imperial decree, which indeed contained a marriage gift to Ling Xuehan and Fu Shuang.

After receiving the imperial edict and sending the father-in-law off, the prime minister took the imperial edict and walked to the wing where Fu Shuang lived.

Fu Shuang was personally packing the luggage that was sent down from other courtyards.He was also extremely happy to hear that he was going to live in the Prime Minister's residence.It's just that there are several boxes of books and paintings sent, so it's troublesome to sort them out.

When Fu Shuang looked up, she happened to see her father walking into her small courtyard, so she put down the book in her hand, and gave Ruoqing a few words to welcome her out.

"father."

"Shuang'er, go into the house, Dad has something to tell you."

"okay."

Fu Shuang ordered Ruoqing to continue sorting out the calligraphy and paintings, while she followed Fu Tanglin into the back room.

Fu Shuang stared blankly at his father's serious face, and felt a little uneasy.Then he saw the imperial decree in his father's hand, and was taken aback again.

"Father, this is?"

"Today, the Holy Majesty sent an imperial decree." Fu Tanglin glanced at his youngest son with complicated eyes, closed his eyes slightly, and straightened his expression and said, "It's a marriage gift. I want you to marry General Zhenbei today. Good day The auspicious days have all been chosen."

After hearing this, Fu Shuang opened her eyes unnaturally, with a look of disbelief on her face.He thought he heard it wrong, and his lips trembled slightly.

"It's impossible, it won't happen, I have never met that general, and both of them are men, how can we marry..."

"I don't have those restrictions on the marriage between men in my dynasty." The prime minister frowned and looked at his youngest son and said coldly.

Fu Shuang bit her lip, and there was already a hint of crying in her voice, "Father, but, I only want to marry someone who is compatible with each other. I don't want to marry a stranger I've never met..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted roughly by the prime minister.

"How can you say such stupid words. Love between two people? How can there be so many love between two people in the world? Are you a bastard who read too many stories?" Fu Tanglin shook his head imperceptibly, "Shuang'er , don’t you want to resist the edict? Is it impossible for the whole family to be buried with you?”

Hearing this, Fu Shuang bit her lower lip tightly, as if she was about to bleed, she shook her head after a while, "No, Dad, it's just, I..."

"There is no justification, and there can be no justification. The Holy Majesty has made a decision that cannot be changed. The wedding date is set on an auspicious day ten days later. You should stay at the mansion for these few days and give me peace of mind."

With tears in Fu Shuang's eyes, she stared blankly at her father, his red lips were already bleeding, but he was speechless.

If he resisted the decree, if he escaped, the entire Fu family would be buried with him. Fu Shuang couldn't afford to gamble, and didn't dare to think about it.

Fu Miao also had an expression of disbelief after knowing this, but the Holy Spirit said that the imperial decree had already been sent to the prime minister and the general's mansion, no matter how unbelievable it was, there was no room for change.

Fu Miao could only comfort her younger brother, saying that maybe the general disagreed with this marriage and asked for an annulment.

Ling Xuehan accepted the imperial edict with a blank face, but when he received the imperial edict, he rode straight to the palace with light clothes and went straight to the emperor's bedroom.

Cheng Moqi just went down to the court at this time, and was resting in the Hall of Mental Cultivation after being quarreled by the civil servants in the main hall.Ling Xuehan came in with a bad face that strangers should not get close to.

"You are so courageous. How dare you break into my bedroom without notifying me?" Cheng Moqi said angrily while taking a sip of tea.Yo, looking at the dark face of this King of Hades, his temper is really not small.

Ling Xuehan lifted the hem of her clothes and knelt down directly, still expressionless said: "I just don't understand why Your Highness suddenly granted the marriage."

"There's no reason, you are old and young, shouldn't you get married, really treat yourself as a young man for the rest of your life." Cheng Moqi gave Ling Xuehan a supercilious look while talking.

"I don't intend to."

As if remembering something, Cheng Moqi raised his eyebrows and smiled to himself, "I've met the prime minister's youngest son. The person I choose for you can't be wrong." Then he stared at him as if remembering something. He glanced at Ling Xuehan, "If you dare to resist and refuse to obey, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Ling Xuehan tightly held the imperial decree, but said nothing, and exited the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Stubber with me now, who knows what will happen if we meet someone." Cheng Moqi looked at Ling Xuehan's back, and finished his tea with a smile.

In the ten days before the wedding, Fu Shuang didn't think about tea every day, and drank bitter medicine every day without complaining.

Hearing that Ling Xuehan didn't show any signs of requesting an end to the engagement, it meant that the relationship was finalized, so he also gave up.

Fu Miao couldn't bear to see her younger brother's sad face all day long.Three days before the divorce period, Fu Miao half-coaxed, half-coaxed, half-pushed, half-pushed, and took Fu Shuang out of the house.

"Brother." Fu Shuang wrinkled her little face with reluctance.

"Oh, don't be morose, my silly brother."

"Yes, but..."

"There's nothing wrong with it, let's go."

"..."

The bustling street market, the beaming passers-by, and the shouting vendors seemed to have a festive sweetness in the air, but Fu Shuang still had a sad face.

The two happened to pass by a mask stand and stopped.Fu Miao picked up a well-made rabbit mask and put it on Fu Shuang's face. The mask just happened to cover his small face tightly.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

While talking, Fu Shuang reached out to pick it off, but his brother grabbed his wrist.

"Don't pick it, don't pick it, hey, it's quite cute."

Fu Shuang couldn't make trouble with his brother, so he obediently wore a rabbit mask and picked out other masks on the stall, planning to put one on his brother as well.

The sweet smell in the air seemed to be stronger. Fu Shuang raised her head slightly, but she met a pair of beautiful eyes through the gap between the background cloth of the mask stand.

A very handsome face.

A pair of peach blossom eyes, the corners of the eyes drooped slightly, and the bridge of the nose was straight. It should have been a very gentle face, but it had two thin lips, and the expression was cold.It was not very clear through the gap, only the long black hair was tied with a headband, and the black robe was blowing in the wind.

The man just glanced at the stall and looked away, said something to the people beside him and left.

When Fu Shuang came to her senses, she only saw the corner of the man's black clothes.

"Shuang'er, what's wrong?"

Fu Miao looked at her silly brother with a rabbit mask on his face, and stretched out her hand to shake in front of his eyes.

"No, I saw someone."

"acquaintance?"

Fu Shuang shook his head, "I don't know him, but he is a good-looking person."

Helpless and funny, Fu Miao reached out and took off the rabbit mask on his younger brother's face.

"Aren't you sad now?"

Fu Shuang blinked her apricot core eyes, shook her head, and said softly, "Go back, I'm tired, brother."

Fu Miao patted his younger brother's head, then bought a rabbit mask with the mask stall owner, and the two went back home.

The wedding day has come.

Fu Shuang got up early, first took a bath and changed clothes, then slowly stepped into the bathtub filled with hot water, and let the servants wait on her.

Everywhere I looked, the room was already filled with red, and everything was festive.

When a man gets married with a man, he naturally doesn't need to wear complicated bridal clothes.Fu Shuang was only dressed in an exquisite groom's attire, and her hair was tied up high with a red headband.

It's just that there was a happy handkerchief stacked on the bed, but Fu Shuang still frowned and covered her head.

Originally, when a man married a man, he didn't need to cover the red hijab.It's just that the unpredictable emperor made a special request, and no one dared to say no.

This day, Fu Shuang didn't eat much, either because she didn't want to eat, and because she couldn't eat.Only the plate of delicate sweet-scented osmanthus cake exudes a sweet and greasy aroma.Fu Shuang couldn't hold back and ate several pieces.

The bridal sedan chair stopped outside the prime minister's mansion. Fu Shuang, wearing a red hijab, was pulled by someone to bid farewell to her father and elder brother one by one, and got on the bridal sedan chair with her head bowed.Fu Shuang put away her thoughts and sat in the sedan chair. Her thoughts sank, but her hands couldn't help but clenched the corners of her red clothes tightly.

All I could hear was the noisy beating and clattering of horseshoes.Fu Shuang sat in the sedan chair, not knowing what was going on outside.Presumably it was the wedding team.I saw Ling Xuehan dressed in red, which was also a groom's attire, riding a white horse. His long black hair was blown by the breeze, and his handsome face was unparalleled in the world.
