Chapter 259 Joy at the Restaurant
Inside the restaurant, lanterns and colorful decorations were everywhere, and red silk ribbons were unfurled, creating a festive atmosphere. Large red lanterns hung high, illuminating the entire hall in a vibrant red glow.
Exquisite double happiness characters adorn the doors and windows, while colorful ribbons hang from the ceiling, swaying gently in the breeze.
Fresh flowers and delicate pastries were laid out on the table, adding a touch of warmth to the festive scene.
Su Yao'er wore an elegant pink dress, her figure slightly swollen due to her pregnancy. She gently stroked her high, protruding belly with one hand, rested the other on the chair beside her, and looked at Shen Wanqing with a relieved smile on her face and tender eyes.
Su Yao'er said gently, "Wan'er, the Emperor has decreed that you and the Tenth Prince should get married. Why aren't you happy?"
Shen Wanqing lowered her head slightly, a complicated expression flashing across her face, and said softly, "Sister-in-law, I'm not unhappy. Sigh, I'm just a little worried. Now that I'm married, I won't be by my brother and sister-in-law's side anymore. I don't know if something happens to them, and I'll be able to help them in time while I'm far away in the Prince's Mansion. Besides, I'm also reluctant to leave my sister-in-law and this family." As she spoke, her eyes reddened slightly.
Upon hearing this, Su Yao'er gently grasped Shen Wanqing's hand, smiled slightly, and her eyes were full of love and comfort: "Silly girl, I'm content that you have such a heart. Don't worry, your brother is capable, we'll be fine. You, when you get to the Prince's Mansion, live a good life and don't worry us. Besides, the Prince's Mansion isn't far from here, you can come back anytime you miss us."
Shen Wanqing raised her head, tears glistening in her eyes, a touched smile on her face. She grasped Su Yao'er's hand in return: "Sister-in-law, I'll remember that. With your words, I feel much more at ease."
The two sisters-in-law smiled at each other. Su Yao'er gently brushed a strand of hair behind Shen Wanqing's ear, while Shen Wanqing leaned on Su Yao'er's shoulder. The affection between the two deepened in this warm atmosphere.
the other side---
Zhao Xiong bustled about in every corner of the restaurant, thoroughly enjoying himself. The restaurant was being decorated in a brand new style, filled with the festive atmosphere of his sister's upcoming wedding.
He personally climbed the ladder and carefully pasted the bright red "double happiness" character onto the doors and windows, every movement showing meticulousness and care.
After he finished posting, he took a few steps back, tilted his head to examine it carefully, and a satisfied smile gradually appeared on his face.
Just as Zhao Xiong was happily busy decorating the restaurant and immersed in the joy of his sister's upcoming marriage, the sound of carriages and horses approached from afar.
Before long, Murong Yi, dressed in a magnificent black robe, walked unhurriedly towards the restaurant. Behind him followed Wuming, his steps steady and his aura extraordinary.
Beside him stood Lin Qianqian, dressed in a moon-white brocade dress embroidered with delicate cloud patterns, looking gentle and charming. She was slightly frail, and Xiaodie carefully supported her.
On the other side, Su Wan'er wore a rose-red silk robe, her makeup exquisite, and her temperament radiant. She was also supported by her maid, Huan'er, her steps light, and her eyes revealed a hint of ruthlessness that was hard to detect.
The three of them slowly stepped into the restaurant. Their presence seemed to exude an air of nobility, instantly quieting the once bustling restaurant and drawing everyone's attention.
Zhao Xiong was busy at work when he glanced up and saw Murong Yi and her entourage enter the restaurant. His face instantly lit up with a warm smile, and he hurriedly stepped forward, cupping his hands in greeting, saying, "Your Highness and Princess Consort, your presence is truly an honor to this humble restaurant! Please, please have a seat!"
Under Zhao Xiong's warm greeting, Murong Yi gracefully stepped forward, Lin Qianqian was supported by Xiao Die, and Su Wan'er, accompanied by Huan'er, the three of them took their seats.
Lin Qianqian smiled gently and said softly, "Brother Zhao, congratulations!"
Zhao Xiong scratched his head, his face beaming with barely suppressed joy, and chuckled, "Hehe, my sister is getting married, and I'm so happy for her! By the way, wait a moment, I'll go and call her down so she can show me some hospitality."
Looking at Zhao Xiong's delighted and endearing expression, Lin Qianqian couldn't help but chuckle, her eyes crinkling with a lively smile.
She subconsciously exchanged a glance with Murong Yi beside her. Murong Yi nodded slightly, his gaze gentle.
Then, Murong Yi looked at Su Wan'er. Su Wan'er understood immediately and raised the corners of her mouth, pretending to be very happy.
However, before Zhao Xiong could even step upstairs, he heard light footsteps approaching. Looking up, he saw Shen Wanqing dressed in a light pink silk dress, her figure graceful, while Su Yao'er, though pregnant, moved more slowly, but her gentle demeanor remained undiminished. The two walked downstairs hand in hand.
