The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 79: The Glory of the Marquisate

On this day, the two heavy doors of the Marquis' Mansion were wide open, and the golden sunlight poured directly onto the vermilion threshold, reflecting a dazzling light.

Yunxi was dressed in gorgeous clothes with exquisite embroidery. She walked out slowly, surrounded by a group of maids.

Yunxi was a graceful and elegant woman, with eyebrows like distant black ink, eyes like autumn waves, and a cherry-like mouth that was rosy without any makeup. The pearls and jade on her hair swayed gently with her steps, making a crisp sound.

Outside the mansion gate, there was a real bustling traffic, with people as numerous as ants moving their homes, and it was incredibly lively. When the common people saw someone coming out of the mansion, they all stopped and pointed at the mansion, their eyes filled with awe and envy.

"Look, this marquis's mansion is extremely glorious now!" An old man selling vegetables, wearing coarse clothes, with a slightly bent waist, carried a load on his shoulder and wiped the sweat off his face while sighing.

"That's right! The prince has made great military achievements and is so majestic on the battlefield! And his wife is kind-hearted and often helps the poor. This is all a blessing!"

The woman next to her, carrying a basket, spoke with a smile on her face.

Yunxi listened, smiled, and nodded slightly to the people, her gesture graceful. Her smile was gentle, like a flower just blooming in spring.

When I walked into the mansion, I saw the servants walking hurriedly, but their faces were filled with pride.

"Madam, the mansion received a lot of gifts today." The housekeeper Li Fu said with a bowed face and a happy face.

Yunxi nodded gently: "Register carefully and don't make any mistakes." Her eyes were calm and gentle.

As they were talking, the wife of the Marquis came over with a group of concubines. She was wearing a silk gown embroidered with large peonies, and the pearls and jade on her hair swayed with her steps, sparkling with dazzling light.

Her face was thickly powdered, and when she smiled, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were squeezed together.

"Yunxi, our Marquis' Mansion is really prosperous now." The Marquis's wife said in a hoarse voice, which was sharp and thin, and contained a bit of deliberate flattery.

Yunxi responded, "This is all thanks to His Majesty." She had a perfect smile on her face, neither humble nor arrogant.

The daughter of the marquis also walked over, twisting her waist, and the silk on her body made rustling sounds with her movements.

She raised her chin and said in a delicate voice, "Hmph, that's also a blessing for our Marquis' Mansion." As she spoke, she glanced at Yunxi, her eyes full of jealousy and disdain.

Yunxi ignored her sarcasm, just shook his sleeves lightly, turned and walked towards the garden.

The figure was light, like a willow branch swaying in the wind.

In the garden, hundreds of flowers vie for beauty. Red like fire, pink like clouds, white like snow. It's a lively scene. Yunxi sits down in the pavilion, and Cui'er quickly offers her tea.

Cui'er is smart, with a pair of big eyes that roll around.

"Madam, look at the spring scenery in the garden, it really suits the scene." Cui'er said with a smile, two dimples faintly visible on her face.

Yunxi took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Yes, the Marquis' Mansion is now glorious, and we must not forget our duties."

At this time, a servant came running over, panting and with beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Madam, Lord Wang requests an audience."

Yunxi put down the teacup and frowned slightly: "Please come in."

After a while, Lord Wang strode into the garden. His belly was so big that his official uniform was about to burst.

He bowed and saluted: "Madam Yunxi, congratulations to the Marquisate."

Yunxi stood up and returned the greeting: "Master Wang, you are so polite. Please take a seat."

After Lord Wang sat down, he said, "Your Highness has been promoted to a higher rank this time. Your position in the court will be unmatched in the future."

Yunxi bowed slightly, with a proper smile on her face: "Master Wang, thank you for your praise. I hope you will take good care of me in the future."

Lord Wang nodded his fat head quickly, his eyes narrowed into slits, and a smile spread across his face: "Of course, of course, Madam Yunxi, don't worry."

After seeing Lord Wang off, Yunxi continued her stroll through the garden, her steps light and gentle, her skirt swaying slightly in the wind.

"Madam, Madam Liu from the palace is here." Cui'er came trotting over and said breathlessly.

When Yunxi heard this, his expression tensed and he quickly quickened his pace back to the main hall.

When Madam Liu saw Yunxi, she bowed respectfully and said, "Madam Yunxi, the Queen has asked this old servant to bring you some rewards."

Yunxi hurriedly returned the greeting and accepted the reward with both hands: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

Nanny Liu looked up at Yunxi, exchanged a few words with a smile, and then turned back to the palace.

In the evening, the Marquis's residence held a banquet to entertain guests from all over the country. The lights in the hall were brilliant, as bright as day.

"Madam Yunxi, the glory of this marquis's mansion today is really enviable." A lady dressed in gorgeous clothes and with pearls and jade in her hair said with a smile on her face.

Yunxi responded with a smile, folding her hands in front of her: "It is an honor for the Marquis' Mansion to have you all here."

During the banquet, the singing girls twisted their waists and the dancers' long sleeves fluttered. It was truly a lively and festive occasion with singing and dancing.

Suddenly, a maid came running over in a panic and whispered something in Yunxi's ear.

Yunxi's expression changed slightly, and he frowned. He stood up and said, "Everyone, enjoy your meal. I'll be right back."

It turned out that one of the concubines in the mansion had a sudden stomachache and was rolling around on the bed, crying and shouting. Yunxi hurried over and asked the maids to quickly get the medicine box.

She had a serious face, her eyes showing calmness and decisiveness. She reached out to feel the concubine's pulse and carefully asked about her symptoms.

Afterwards, she personally prepared medicine for the concubine and fed her medicine, running around. After a period of diagnosis and treatment, the concubine's symptoms were relieved a lot, she stopped groaning, and fell asleep peacefully.

Yunxi finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, straightened her clothes, and returned to the banquet.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all." Yunxi said with a hint of apology on her face.

The guests praised Yunxi for his excellent medical skills and kind heart.

The banquet lasted until late at night, and the guests were drunk and left home with great satisfaction.

Yunxi dragged her tired body back to the room, where the prince was already waiting.

"Thank you for your hard work today." The prince stood up and walked over to Yunxi, holding her hand.

Yunxi leaned in the prince's arms: "As long as the Marquis's Mansion is safe, everything is worth it."
