Suidu, the sixth day of July.
The red makeup was spread all the way from the Yongxing County Public Gate to the General's Mansion.
While the people on the roadside were watching, they were talking a lot.
"This Qing Lingyi is so lucky! The daughter of Daliang God of War, her mother died in the battle, and was adopted by Yongxing County Duke. When she got older, your Majesty even proposed the marriage in person! Look at this scene, she is almost as good as the princess. !”
"What's good, the person she is going to marry today is Cheng Yang, the famous Tiansha Lone Star! Who doesn't know that his father and brother died cleanly, his biological mother has been ill for many years, and his only sister-in-law is blind!"
"I heard that Cheng Yang is ugly and rough in behavior. Not only does he have many wives, but he also has a three-year-old daughter!"
"Just wait, this girl Qing will be killed by Cheng Yang sooner or later!"
“……”
In the wedding sedan, Qing Lingyi almost cried when she heard this.
That being said, there are indeed many bad people in the world.
A few days ago, she heard that Cheng Yang had quelled the rebellion in the Southwest. He was worshiped as General Youwei and Minister of the Ministry of War. He was known as the "Second Prime Minister of the West" in the DPRK and was even regarded as the most powerful general in Daliang.
However, she had not heard of rumors about his erratic and unpredictable behavior.
On that day, His Majesty's imperial edict was delivered to the Yongxing County government office.
After hearing the news, she rushed to receive the order. From a distance, she heard Zuo Xuan furious: "When you start a family, it is a den of tigers and wolves. Your Majesty is pushing Ling Yi into the fire pit for the sake of the court! How can he be worthy of Yan Mei!"
Qing Lingyi was deeply moved. Could it be that Lord Zuo County wanted to resist the decree for her?
But he didn't know what the palace official who conveyed the order whispered, and Zuo Xuan's anger actually subsided.
When Qing Lingyi came in, Zuo Xuan said tiredly: "There are still a few months left, let's make good preparations for the wedding."
At that moment, Qing Lingyi felt that the sky was falling.
These past few months have been a blur, and I don’t know how I got here.
When I think about the future...
No, I don’t even know if there is a future.
Qing Lingyi was extremely sad, and before she knew it, her face was covered with tears.
According to the auspicious timing, the sedan chair entered the gate of the General's Mansion. The surrounding area was unexpectedly deserted, not even a wedding bride.
Qing Lingyi wiped her tears and didn't understand what was going on.
Suddenly he saw a pair of black leather boots under the big red scarf, and he limped forward.
A man's voice came from above, with a businesslike tone: "I am the steward of the general's mansion and also the general's deputy. My name is Wu Liang. Madam, please follow me."
Qing Lingyi followed him into the bridal chamber in confusion.
In the dim light and silence, Wu Liang spoke again: "Madam, the battlefield is dangerous. The general was seriously injured and is unconscious at this time. Therefore, everything about the marriage will be kept simple. I hope Madam will forgive me."
Qing Lingyi was startled.
She had never heard of this.
He also heard Wu Liang's instructions: "This matter will be kept secret from the outside world. I hope that my wife will keep it secret as well."
Keep it secret...
Does your Majesty know? Was that why he married her?
Thoughts swirling, Qing Lingyi nodded slowly.
"I'll take my leave first. Madam, if you need anything, please call me at any time."
Wu Liang completed his mission and left first.
Qing Lingyi stood quietly for a while, then slowly took off the red silk on her head.
The house is spacious and elegant, with only a thin slit in the window for ventilation. Without sunlight, it looks gloomy.
Because of the wedding, red silk was hung in the house, which was full of joy, and a big red wedding candle was lit in the hall, which was lit just right at this time.
To the left was the bedroom. Qing Lingyi mustered up her courage and slowly approached the wedding bed.
On the eve of her wedding, she plucked up the courage to ask Zuo County Duke what the palace servant who delivered the decree had said.
Zuo Xuandao: "This engagement is not just His Majesty's intention. Your mother once told Your Majesty in the past that if you really want to get married one day, she will not look down upon anyone in the world but only one. She Your Majesty and I will follow your wishes."
At this moment, Cheng Yang was lying on his back on the wedding bed, with broad shoulders, long neck, narrow waist and strong muscles, with strong and smooth lines.
Unlike outside rumors, Cheng Yang is not ugly. Instead, he has an extremely handsome face, with strong facial bones and a sharp jawline. The only flaw is a scar that runs from the left eyebrow to the bottom of the eyelid, which is extremely hideous.
Qing Lingyi stared at it for a long time, with a serious look on his face.
This injury was to save her.
Qing Lingyi was eight years old at that time, and he was old enough to remember things.
Qing said that she had outstanding military achievements and was unparalleled in the world. She held the position of a general for a woman and was known as the God of War. Even His Majesty showed her courtesy.
This caused a lot of jealousy, and those people couldn't take advantage of Qing Yan, so they turned their attention to Qing Lingyi.
Qing Yan protects his daughter very well, but there are always times when he makes oversights.
That day, Qing Lingyi was assassinated outside the city. The guards and entourage protected her, but they could not resist for long.
She took advantage of the chaos to escape, but was discovered by the gangsters, who chased her with a knife.
As the blade approached, Qing Lingyi was picked up by someone. The smell of blood was strong as the world was spinning. She leaned into the warm embrace and heard the strong and regular heartbeat.
She turned her head, and the villain had his throat sealed with a sword.
It was Cheng Yang who saved her.
He was eighteen years old that year, and he kept her safe, but his left eye was cut with a blade and blood flowed freely.
Qing Lingyi was scared and guilty at the same time, and her tears couldn't stop falling.
Cheng Yang bandaged the wound casually, and it was funny to see her crying like this.
He came over, pinched her cheek, and teased her with a smile: "I'm so grateful. Marry me when you grow up."
I didn't expect the words to come true.
I don’t know if my mother has taken a high look at Cheng Yang since then?
The scar is very deep, and after all these years, it is still so eye-catching and terrifying, as if it has been carved heavily.
Qing Lingyi looked at the scar and murmured softly: "It's my mother's wish..."
It was getting dark.
After a busy day with the wedding, Qing Lingyi was already sleepy and tired, but she didn't dare to sleep in bed.
Sharing a bed with Cheng Yang... I can't even think about it.
Fortunately, there was a pear blossom couch against the wall under the west window, facing a chest with pine and cypress carved tops. There were beddings inside. Qing Lingyi took the bed down.
She took off the complicated decorations such as the phoenix crown, took off her outer robe, fell asleep on the couch, closed her eyes, and fell asleep soon.
Qing Lingyi didn't know that after she fell asleep, the man on the bed suddenly opened his eyes.
Cheng Yang stood up and sat cross-legged on the bed, seeming to be thinking about something.
The side placket of his white pajamas was loosened, but he didn't care, revealing the plump and clear muscles of his chest.
The candlelight was shining brightly, blocked by the festive red silk hanging beside the bed. Most of Cheng Yang's face was hidden in the shadows, except for his precise and fierce eyes, looking at the pear blossom couch like a dormant beast.
After a long time, he suddenly moved, got out of bed, and went to the window.
He had just woken up. He had no strength and was walking slowly. When he was halfway there, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
"Boom, boom."
