At the same time, Xuanyuan Jing also didn't want to face this Ye Ningyu who had brought humiliation upon himself. He simply poured himself a cup of wine, held the cup up high with his slender fingers, and coldly stared at the cup with his eyes.
However, his eyes swept across Zhangsun Wenyan who was seated opposite to him, a strange light flashing across his deep eyes.
The banquet was nearing its end, but everyone was focused on watching the fun of Li Qingqing and Ye Ningyu, and did not bother to chat with the young masters and young miss of the noble families that they liked.
However, this was merely a disguised marriage banquet. Even if he was interested, in the end, he still had to discuss it with the family's elders. After all, the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words were the mainstream of this era.
However, there were also people who saw each other in the banquet, for example, Ye Linger who was brought out by Ye Ningyu and a young master from an influential family who saw each other.
Ye Linger only respected and respected Lin Mu a lot, but it was a love born from a hero saving the beauty. When her feelings were exposed, Ye Linger walked out quickly.
Being brought to this banquet by Ye Ningyu had broadened her horizons, and because of her cute appearance, she could be considered to be helpful to the Ye Family.
Ye Linger's trip was not in vain.
Xie Qingrong and Xuanyuan Chen sat on the carriage that was returning to the General's Estate.
Not long after Xie Qingrong entered the carriage, she had removed all the complicated hair ornaments on her head. Her head of flowing black hair instantly fell down like a waterfall.
Xuanyuan Chen looked at Xie Qingrong's somewhat impatient actions, and immediately curled his lips, laughing lightly: "Why, A Rong is so beautiful like this, why did you take it off?"
"I'll have to trouble Your Highness to send something simpler the next time you deliver it. This hair ornament is so beautiful, but it's a bit heavy, and it makes my neck hurt a little from the pressure."
"But during the banquet just now, I looked at A Rong, it did not seem like she was pressed down at all." Xuanyuan Chen said while laughing.
"After all, this is a banquet, so of course we have to pay attention to our manners. Moreover, since you are sitting right next to me, I must give you some support. To prevent others from saying that this Princess Consort Chen of mine has no etiquette, and is not worthy of a handsome Prince Chen like you. " Xie Qingrong started to complain as if he was joking.
Xuanyuan Chen also recognized it when he heard it, and only gave a shallow smile. His handsome eyebrows seemed to give birth to an incomparably gorgeous flower, which took Xie Qingrong's hair ornament to the side, and carefully examined it.
After scrutinizing it for a long time, he then said with a faint smile: "This hair ornament is considered to be of a lower quality. If we were to marry each other in the future, the grade on your head would be two levels higher and heavier.
Xie Qingrong glanced at Xuanyuan Chen, and the corner of her eyes raised into a smile that was not a smile, and said: "Since it's our wedding, no matter how heavy it is, I will persevere to the very end."
Hearing that, Xuanyuan Chen revealed a smile, Xie Qingrong only felt that her eyes lit up, the entire carriage was shining with light because of Xuanyuan Chen's smile, as though Xuanyuan Chen was a shining object.
Xie Qingrong glanced at Xie Qingrong, who was laughing sinisterly, and tilted her head to the side, wanting to take a nap.
Xuanyuan Chen took out an ivory comb from his chest pocket and said: "I knew that when A Rong returned to the carriage, he would definitely take off the hair ornament, so I prepared this comb."
Pulling Xie Qingrong into her embrace, Xie Qingrong found a comfortable position in Xuanyuan Chen's bosom, closed her eyes, and peacefully nestled inside.
Xuanyuan Chen's long fingers pierced into his jet-black hair and lightly pressed against Xie Qingrong's somewhat tired hair. Xie Qingrong only felt the fatigue on her body gradually disappearing.
When the massage was almost done, Xuanyuan Chen used the ivory small comb to slowly comb Xie Qingrong's hair.
He slowly combed his hair from top to bottom.
As he combed his hair, he thought to himself.
"Comb it all the way to the end."
"Two combs of white hair and eyebrows."
"Sansui, Sun, Tang."
The ancients took these three words as a kind of good wishes for the marriage of a woman and a man.
When Xuanyuan Chen meditated in his heart, he felt that the ancients were somewhat particular about this. He only wished for this kind of blessings once in his life.
There was a saying that goes, "When faced with your beloved wife, if the feelings you have for her run deep inside your heart, you can bind your hair and draw your eyebrows; this could also be considered the joy of a woman's room."
When he was in matriarch's palace, he had seen his own royal father carefully drawing his eyebrows, and between his eyebrows, there was also satisfaction and happiness.
Currently, A Rong was nestled in her embrace without any worries, and it could be said that she was feeling a kind of unbroken love for him.
Xuanyuan Chen gave Xie Qingrong a simple bun. On the side of the carriage, there was a small wood box. Xuanyuan Chen opened the wood box, and inside was a simple green jade hairpin. There was nothing carved on it, only the hairpin had a petal-like pattern on it, and everything else was gone.
Xuanyuan Chen carefully placed the hairpin into Xie Qingrong's bun, and then hugged Xie Qingrong tightly as they leaned against the side of the carriage and took a nap.
The carriage moved at a leisurely pace. It was slow but it didn't wake the sleeping duo.
When Xie Qingrong woke up, the carriage had already stopped in front of the general's manor. The White Tiger sat outside the carriage and knew that the two masters inside had fallen asleep, so it didn't have any intention of waking them up.
Xie Qingrong moved her arm slightly, waking him up.
Xuanyuan Chen gradually opened his long eyelashes, and there were traces of sleepiness in his eyes. Xie Qingrong stared at Xuanyuan Chen as he woke up. When Xuanyuan Chen was completely awake, he revealed a smile and lightly kissed the side of Xuanyuan Chen's lips.
Then they quickly ran down the carriage. Nuan Xiang and Wen Yu had already been waiting at the entrance of the general's mansion for a while.
Xuanyuan Chen covered the corner of his lips that had been secretly kissed by Xie Qingrong, and revealed a smile that could only be described as a foolish smile.
He saw the foolish smile on the corner of his master's lips, and immediately closed the curtain of the sedan in horror.
He couldn't believe what he had just seen.
Master, were you giggling just now?
The White Tiger was not sure, but it endured its fear and opened the curtain once again. Unfortunately, Xuanyuan Chen had already returned to his original calm and coldness.
Seeing the White Tiger's look, Xuanyuan Chen's eyes that were as sharp as knives shot towards it. The White Tiger reflexively asked: "Master, can we return to the Prince Chen's Mansion?"
The White Tiger clasped its fists, not daring to raise its head. After a long while, it only heard its master's cold 'Mmm'.
The White Tiger closed the curtain and drove the carriage back to Prince Chen's Mansion.
