Chapter 3 — At That Flower Feast, I Chose a New Husband

7

The hundred-year-old tree on Ma Hanh street stands tall, its red silk ribbons fluttering in the wind; The trumpet sounded, the drums and gongs were bustling, and a palanquin carried by eight people passed through a long, shady road filled with welcoming people. I put on a happy scarf, the palanquin swayed with each step, I could only hear loud congratulations, and suddenly there was the sound of an arrow cutting through the wind and rushing towards me. The bride got down from the palanquin, her dim vision suddenly brightened, and there was a long, white hand extended into her sight. I carefully put my hand in, and was gently grabbed. Before I could calm down, the strange words from the day I first met the Little Prince in the garden appeared again: 【The husband is married, the bride is not me huh huh huh.】 【My son is married, mother is so happy (wiping tears).】 【Even Cuu Dan has a wife, my brother, where is my wife? (lights a cigarette).】 【Brother Duan's outfit looks so beautiful, lick lick lick lick.】 My movements stopped, the tassel of my veil moved slightly. The Little Prince quickly bowed his head and asked softly: "What's wrong?" His voice was low, making my ears suddenly turn red, I thought to myself - I can't see the Little Prince's face, but can I still see these words?

"Nothing." I took a deep breath, thought for a while, then answered honestly: "... I'm a little scared."

The hand that was holding my hand suddenly tightened, the Little Prince said "Ill-mannered", then reached out and hugged my waist, almost half-holding me in his arms. The caroling and teasing sounds became more and more resounding, and the words changed continuously. I only dared to glance at them, then quickly bowed my head and was protected by the Little Prince as I walked through the hallway into the new room. The new room was full of incense, royal ceremonies were strict, after congratulations, everyone left, the Little Prince held the scales, and lifted my wedding scarf. The flowers were brilliant, the wedding room was splendid and splendid. The little prince was dressed in a dark red robe, his hair was tied in a golden bun, and he focused his eyes on me. The mysterious text flashed crazily again: 【Oh my gosh, great beauty, great beauty!】 【Pull out the knife, you dog, your wife is mine.】 【Mom, she's so beautiful, let's get married, stream it live for me to see!】 【Today I'm Cao Cao, I like his wife hehe hehe.】 【Brother. Dear Duan, you have such a beautiful wife, are you still going home tonight?】 I blinked slowly, clearly the atmosphere was solemn and serious, but for some reason I burst out laughing softly.

The red candle "clicked" and burned. The Little Prince slightly raised his eyebrows and put down the scale.

"I'll go receive the guests first, you wash your face and rest first."

He paused for a moment, then said again: "Don't be afraid." His voice was usually cold, but this time he deliberately lowered his voice, making the words "Don't be afraid" become strangely soft. The other line, I don't know why, says he's "hardened his voice" again. I nodded, a smile appeared in my eyes, and the Little Prince said: "I will be back soon." Sure enough, he wasn't wrong, the wine had not been there for three weeks, most of the red candles had not yet burned out, he had already returned to the hospital. The Little Prince had changed into red robes, looking like he had just washed his face. There was no smell of alcohol, but instead a hint of steam and a light taste of the medicine. He had a tall body and a strong waist. When he was in the same room with me, the strange aura of a grown man made me immediately tense. I suddenly realized - this is the wedding night, something is about to happen.

"The main temple's name is Phu Van, but on weekdays I live at Thinh Thuy Hien on the other side of the lake."

Perhaps seeing my fear, the Little Prince stood at the table pouring tea and slowly said:

“If your highness has something to look for, you can tell my close guard - Hua Cat - to call.”

After finishing speaking, a man knelt down from behind the screen and bowed: "Hua Cat pays his respects to the royal concubine."

"It's just that Thinh Thuy Hien is mostly filled with medical books and medicinal materials, it's messy and boring, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to go back and forth." The little prince said again: "The maid in charge of this yard is called Nhu Van. From now on, she can do whatever she wants."

Another woman appeared behind the screen, respectfully bowing according to regulations. I gently tightened the brocade scarf, the agitation and tension in my heart gradually subsided, I heard and understood the meaning behind the Little Prince's words. After the wedding, the two of you will live separately. You don't want me to come to Thinh Thuy Hien to disturb you. Looking up, the curled text confirmed the guess in my heart: 【No you son of a bitch, what strange words did you say on your wedding night?】 【My husband still thinks about me hehe, even after getting married he still can't forget me.】 【Dream girl, stop it, it's so disgusting.】 【A great beauty and yet you're still cold, can't you?】 Me? smiled, not sure if it was disappointment or relief, and said softly: "I understand." The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, even the text scrolled slowly: 【This bastard has disappointed the great beauty! Unforgivable!】

“It's actually like this.” The Little Prince suddenly raised his head and looked at me seriously:

"I have a disability, I can't run the room."

The brocade scarf in my hand fell down, I widened my eyes and looked at the Little Prince.

"I haven't gotten married in so many years, because of this reason."

The Little Prince said sincerely: "Marrying her to the door would really make her suffer a loss." The words on the top of his head rolled around again crazily: 【That's a lie, it's obvious that the people who are looking at you are all underage!】 【I can't stand it anymore, the male lead is like "stomach nourishment".】 【That's nonsense, don't eat rice haphazardly, if it's really not good then I'll have no dreams at all.】 【Just to avoid getting angry and humiliating myself, too fierce.】 【Looking at the beauty.】 Because of disappointment, you can't bear it, and you're starting to make up excuses, right?】 【If you're soft-hearted, don't be soft-hearted!】 It must be fake. I lowered my eyes and took a deep breath, thinking to myself - it must be like the other line said, he didn't want to share a room with me, and was afraid that I would be sad, so he said that.
