Xue Yao is not a good friend, but he is an official in the imperial court. He is sophisticated and tactful. Even if he hates Xue Yao any more, there are still a lot of people coming on the day of marriage, and they all have good gifts.
But it's not for him, it's for the face of General Zhang and the emperor.
Xue Yao didn't care about these. When he welcomed the guests, he seldom had a smile on his face.
Zhu GuanLiang could not be present in person. Zhou Leping went on his behalf. Xue Yao's parents knelt down on the ground when they saw her. Zhou Leping helped the people up quickly. "Today is the wedding of Lord Xue. You two are the protagonists. There is no royal ceremony. You are welcome."
The empress's kindness deeply moved Xue Jiaer. They were touched by their son's light. Otherwise, they would not see the empress Fengyan.
Xue Yao had never been so happy as he was today. Those examiners who had participated in the scientific examination with him wanted to pull him to drink with him. After two drinks, he said he would not drink and was anxious to go back.
His classmates teased him, "I'm in such a hurry to go back to see the bride, my lord Xue. From today on, you have a family. You can't go out for fun with us any more. There are more women in charge of the family, and everything will be restrained. Are you in such a hurry to jump into the fire pit?"
Xue Yao shook his head, "she is not a fire pit, even if it is a fire pit, I am willing to jump down."
Someone joked, "it's hard to find a man like you with a lantern."
He was very grateful to these students. Although they sometimes made fun of him, they didn't know how to handle it properly, but they didn't have any bad intentions. During the most sad period, thanks to their company, he knew that they were all kind-hearted and couldn't continue to accompany him. He was deeply sorry. He punished himself for three drinks and agreed to invite them to drink another day, and left without looking back.
Zhang Yingning hasn't eaten a mouthful of food since the morning. Now he is hungry and his chest is close to his back.
When Zhou Leping came to see her, she stuffed two pieces of mung bean cake into her mouth. She quietly lifted the top of the cake. She just touched the cake, but she didn't put it into her mouth. She heard a question mark at the door, and then Xue Yao's voice. She quickly put down the top of the cake and sat upright.
Xue Yao didn't know how to drink. When he came in, he tripped on the threshold. He held the door to avoid falling. Then he dressed awkwardly and walked slowly to the side of the bed.
Zhang Yingning's nervous heart almost jumped out.
Xue Yao covered his chest and felt that his own was almost the same.
He went to the bed and stood still. He asked, "have you been waiting for a long time?"
Zhang Yingning shook his head gently, and the beads and hairpins on his head collided with each other, making a clear sound.
Xue Yao lifts his head with a scale and Zhang Yingning raises his head. At the moment when his eyes collide, Xue Yao feels something flowing out of his nose.
Zhang Yingning was startled. He quickly stood up and wiped it clean with his handkerchief. "What's the matter with you? How to shed nosebleed? Is he ill? Would you like to see a doctor? "
Xue Yao awkwardly lowered his head, "I'm ok, I don't need to ask a doctor."
All nosebleed, how can you be ok? Zhang Yingning was in a hurry, "did I let people beat you before, what sequelae did you leave?"
"No
"So you're eating?"
"No He took her flustered hand, "but it's really because of you, because you are so beautiful."
What's the explanation? Zhang Yingning's face turned red. "I thought you were a serious person. How did you learn these smooth tones?"
"You look really good today." Xue Yao emphasized and explained again.
Zhang Yingning shook her head and said, "I'm a beautiful lady. I know. I don't need you to remind me."
Xue Yao nodded very cooperatively.
Her eyes fell on the bed, and then she saw that she wanted to eat mung bean cake on the bed before she could eat it.
Zhang Yingning looked along his line of sight and immediately wanted to find a crack in the ground.
"You never eat?"
"What do you think?"
He bowed his head and apologized, "I'm sorry, it's my thoughtlessness."
Xue Yao turns to go out and asks the servant girl to bring the food. Then she is worried about her headache. She pulls her down and takes down the heavy decorations on her head.
Zhang Yingning suddenly felt relaxed, just as the maid also brought the meal. She took a few mouthfuls and told people to take the meal away.
Xue Yao didn't let him move? Just a few bites? "
"You can't eat more at night, or you will accumulate food and feel uncomfortable when you have all the food in your stomach."
She ate less than half of the rice in a big bowl. How could she be full? Xue Yao personally scooped out a spoonful of rice and sent it to her mouth, "eat two more."
Zhang Yingning shook his head, "don't eat."
Xue Yao did not understand, "there are Xiaoshi pills at home, do not worry about food accumulation."
But no matter how much he tried to persuade, Zhang Yingning never wanted to eat again.
She had a secret that she had not told anyone except those who already knew it.
When she was a child and a teenager, she was actually a fat person. She liked eating very much, and her parents were used to her. She was a little fat and lied to her that "she is very thin, not fat, and she wants to eat as much as she wants". Later, her body became more mellow, and her parents continued to cheat her that "she is beautiful and fat, and many people like it.", So much so that her body began to get out of control.
In the past, she could still see the lines of her figure. Later, she was as fat as a ball. At that time, she liked Zhu GuanLiang, because her parents always said that she was fat and beautiful, and the servants around her praised her beautiful. So she felt that she would never forget the hardships. After losing weight, she only ate five cents a meal, and she would never eat a mouthful before eating, The doctor said that it's easy to accumulate food and get fat when eating at night. She hasn't had such a late meal for many years. She felt guilty after just taking two bites, so no matter how Xue Yao advised her, she refused to talk about it again. Xue Yao can't understand her very well, but she wants to keep perfect posture. For a lady like Zhang Yingning, there are rules about how much she can eat at a meal. In order to ease her heart, she also says out of heartache, "but you are too thin, and I will feel heartache."
