Chapter 208 Marriage
As the days passed, the wedding day finally arrived.
The entire capital was immersed in a festive atmosphere. The Liu family was busy and orderly, and everyone was making careful preparations for this grand wedding.
Ye Xiaoxiao has not been idle these days, and has been busy practicing martial arts every day.
Not for anything else, now that I have decided to go to the Northwest, how can I not learn some self-defense skills?
Liu Yunniang felt extremely distressed seeing how hard Ye Xiaoxiao had worked these days.
She knew her daughter, who was lazy by nature and had no interest in martial arts. She was probably acting like this to reassure herself.
In the early morning, the sun shines on the eaves of Liu Mansion, adding a touch of warmth to the mansion.
Liu Yunniang was awakened early by the maids and began a long and meticulous process of dressing up.
She was wearing a gorgeous wedding dress. The red satin was as warm as flames and was embroidered with exquisite patterns. Every stitch and every thread embodied the hard work of the embroiderers.
Her hair was carefully tied up, and she wore a phoenix crown, with pearls and jade swaying in the wind, looking dazzling.
Mother Xu looked at the beautiful Liu Yunniang, her eyes full of relief and joy.
"Madam, you are truly as beautiful as a fairy today. It's a pity, General..."
Mother Xu hadn't finished her words, but the atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet.
"Mother Xu, please take a rest. I will help Madam touch up her makeup."
Yuezhu noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange and quickly changed the subject. It was not common for General Xiao to be away, and everyone around him knew about it.
She was afraid that her master would be unhappy, so she looked at Liu Yunniang secretly. Seeing that she was still smiling sweetly, as if she was not affected by what Mother Xu said, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did Mother Xu realize that she really shouldn't have mentioned these things on such a happy day.
"It's getting late. Get ready early. The groom will be here soon."
As the auspicious time approached, the wedding procession from the General's Mansion set out.
Leading the group was a tall white horse, on which sat a man dressed in gorgeous clothes. He had a handsome face and extraordinary temperament.
However, a closer look reveals that he is not Xiao Mu himself, but a secret guard arranged by His Majesty wearing a human skin mask.
This is to confuse possible enemies and ensure the smooth progress of the wedding.
Behind "Xiao Mu" played by the secret guard is a long wedding procession.
In the team, musicians played cheerful music and the soldiers were dressed in neat armor and looked majestic.
A gorgeously decorated sedan chair was particularly eye-catching. It was inlaid with jewels and hung with red satin, exuding a festive atmosphere.
The wedding procession arrived at the gate of Liu Mansion in a grand manner, attracting the attention of the surrounding people.
People praised the grandness and luxury of the wedding and sent their blessings to Liu Yunniang and Xiao Mu.
The gate of the Liu Mansion slowly opened, and the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion and Mother Xu led a group of servants to respectfully welcome the wedding procession.
The secret guard, who played the role of "Xiao Mu", dismounted from his horse and was respectfully welcomed into the Liu Mansion.
Afterwards, Liu Yunniang, supported by her maids, slowly walked out of the main room.
Ye Xiaoxiao just stood in the yard, quietly watching her mother step onto the flower bridge.
Chunxi was with Ye Xiaoxiao. Seeing that she remained silent, he was afraid that she was in a bad mood because of her wife's marriage, so he quickly comforted her.
"Miss, don't be sad, you will see the lady tomorrow."
Ye Xiaoxiao was startled back to her senses by Chunxi's words. After a while, she realized that Chunxi was comforting her.
But she was not sad!
If she told Chunxi that the moment she saw her mother getting into the bridal sedan, she felt as if she was watching her "daughter" getting married, Chunxi would probably say that she was crazy!
The bridal sedan was lifted up and the wedding procession began to return to the general's mansion.
Along the way, there was constant music and the atmosphere was very lively. People followed the team one after another to share the joy.
When the wedding procession arrived at the general's mansion, it was already decorated with lights and filled with guests.
Flowers and a red carpet were placed at the door to welcome the newlyweds. The dark guard, who played the role of "Xiao Mu", dismounted, personally lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and helped Liu Yunniang out of the sedan chair.
They walked into the general's mansion hand in hand.
The lobby of the general's mansion was decorated in a solemn and festive manner.
Red satin hung all over the walls and golden decorations sparkled.
The eunuch personally sent by Emperor Jingxuan stood in the center of the hall and read out His Majesty's congratulatory message: "I heard that General Xiao Mu and Liu Yunniang have tied the knot, so I am sending you this message of congratulations. I hope that the general and his wife will support each other and work together to contribute to the prosperity and stability of the Great Wei."
Then, the wedding ceremony officially began.
In front of everyone, the dark guards played "Xiao Mu" and Liu Yunniang, worshipping heaven and earth, their parents, and husband and wife. They only had each other in their eyes, and their full love was touching.
After the ceremony, the guests took their seats and enjoyed a sumptuous banquet.
In the new house, Liu Yunniang sat quietly beside the bed.
At night, the guests gradually dispersed.
Yuemei and Yuezhu then began to remove Liu Yunniang's makeup and wash her hair.
Yuemei gently took off the heavy phoenix crown on Liu Yunniang's head and carefully placed it on the table beside her.
She looked at Liu Yunniang's beautiful face, her eyes full of joy and emotion.
"Madam, you are so beautiful today. I am happy just looking at you, let alone others."
Yuezhu took a warm towel and gently wiped Liu Yunniang's face, saying,
"Yes, ma'am. You and the general will be happy in the future."
Liu Yunniang's face was slightly red, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.
She sat in front of the mirror, looking at her slightly tired but still beautiful face, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.
She didn't know how the real Xiao Mu was doing in the northwest at the moment, and whether he knew that he was getting married today?
Thinking of this, Liu Yunniang found it funny again. She was afraid that he, the groom, would be the last one to know that he was getting married today?
After Yuemei and Yuezhu packed up their things, they whispered to Liu Yunniang,
"Madam, you should go to bed early. You have been tired all day. Do you want to eat something before going to bed?"
Liu Yunniang shook her head. Perhaps she was a little tired and had no appetite.
The room became quiet, with only the red candles swaying gently.
Liu Yunniang walked to the window and looked at the bright moon outside. She then looked at the strange room and a complex emotion surged in her heart.
The room is decorated festively and warmly, with red silk curtains decorating it, showing the joy of the wedding everywhere.
However, at this moment she felt a little lonely and confused.
It would be great if he were here.
Just then, there was a sound of light footsteps outside the door.
Liu Yunniang came back to her senses, and Yuezhu hurried out to greet her, only to see that the person coming was actually Nanny Sun.
"Madam, it's Nanny Sun who's here."
Liu Yunniang sat up straight and said softly,
"Mammy, please come in!"
Nanny Sun was holding a bowl of hot soup with a kind smile on her face.
"Madam, I see that you are tired today and haven't eaten anything, so I specially asked someone to stew soup for you. Drink it and have a good sleep."
Nanny Sun said gently.
"Mammy is thoughtful."
Liu Yunniang felt warm in her heart. She originally had no appetite, but seeing the soup was light in color, she took the hot soup and took a sip.
The warm soup flowed into her throat, relaxing her body and mind.
"Thank you, Ma'am. Please take a seat!"
Liu Yunniang said gratefully.
The more Nanny Sun looked at Liu Yunniang, the happier she became. Who could have thought that one day the general would actually marry a wife.
It’s just that the general is not here now, otherwise I would be happier.
"Madam, you are welcome. The General's Mansion will be your home from now on, and I will take good care of you. Although the General is not in the mansion, his heart must be with you. You must believe that the General will return safely."
Liu Yunniang nodded. She felt the love and warmth from Nanny Sun, and also knew the position of Nanny Sun in Xiao Mu's heart. She really took care of Xiao Mu like her own child.
Nanny Sun chatted with Liu Yunniang for a while before leaving the room.
Yuezhu and Yuemei stayed outside to keep watch tonight. Although Liu Yunniang had no habit of keeping people in the room, they were worried as they had just arrived in an unfamiliar environment and insisted on staying.
Liu Yunniang lay in bed, but still couldn't fall asleep.
Xiao Mu's figure kept appearing in her mind. She tossed and turned, and she didn't know when she fell asleep.
As time passed, Liu Yunniang's mood gradually calmed down. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. In her dream, she saw Xiao Mu returning triumphantly, and they lived a happy life together in the general's mansion. The scene was so beautiful that the corners of her mouth could not help but rise slightly.
