The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 53 Happy Wedding

Yunxi was sleeping soundly when Xiaocui suddenly pulled her out of bed. "Miss, today is your big day, you can't sleep in."

The girl Xiao Cui shouted at the top of her voice, looking so anxious, like an ant on a hot pan.

Yunxi opened her eyes drowsily, still half asleep, but a happy smile had already spread across her face. "I know, Xiao Cui."

The room was packed with people, and the maids were busy running around without stopping.

One person held a basin of water, another a comb, and the mess was immense. Yunxi sat before the bronze mirror, watching herself gradually become more charming and beautiful, her heart filled with anticipation.

"Miss, you are so beautiful today. The prince will definitely be unable to take his eyes off you." Xiao Cui said with a grin as she deftly put a gold hairpin on Yunxi.

Yunxi gently patted Xiaocui's hand and said angrily, "You are the only girl who has a sweet mouth and knows how to make me happy."

"Miss, I'm not kidding you. This is the real truth. Look at this face, these eyebrows and eyes, each one is extremely beautiful."

Xiao Cui tilted her head and stared at Yunxi, speaking in a very serious tone.

Yunxi was amused by her and laughed, "Alright, alright, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll punish you."

As she spoke, Yunxi picked up the rouge beside her and began to apply it carefully. Xiaocui was beside her, passing this and that, busy and happy.

"Miss, you must hold this veil carefully and don't mess it up." Xiao Cui carefully handed the veil to Yunxi.

Yunxi took it and gently stroked the exquisite embroidery on it, with a smile on her lips that never disappeared.

At this time, the Marquis's residence was also bustling with activity. Lanterns and decorations were hung everywhere, and red silks fluttered in the wind. The servants hurried along, their faces beaming with joy.

The prince was also surrounded by a group of people in his own mansion.

"Your Highness, today is your big day, and we are here to share in your happiness!" The housekeeper, Uncle Li, was smiling and busy directing everyone.

The prince was dressed in a bright red wedding gown, which was well-cut and made him look even taller. His eyebrows were sharp, his eyes were bright, his nose was straight, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. His whole body exuded a heroic spirit.

He folded his hands over his chest and said loudly, "Everyone, cheer up! We cannot afford to make any mistakes today!"

The guard Ah Fu came up to the prince and said with a smile, "Prince, you must show off your dignity today and bring the bride back in style."

The prince smiled brightly and said, "Of course. My bride must be brought back to the palace in the most grand manner."

At this time, the servants in the mansion were running around, some were arranging the gifts for the wedding, and some were wiping the saddles.

The prince looked at the lively scene, his eyes full of anticipation.

The procession finally set off, beating gongs and drums along the way, making it a lively scene. The gongs were beating so loudly that it shook the heavens, and the drummers were beating with all their might, beating the drums fast and fast.

Yunxi was in the mansion, and when she heard the commotion outside, she became increasingly nervous. She clutched the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, her brows slightly furrowed.

"Miss, don't be nervous, you will see the prince soon." The maid beside her patted Yunxi's shoulder gently.

Yunxi took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "I understand, but my heart is beating wildly and uncontrollably."

After a while, the prince's wedding procession arrived at the gate of the marquis' mansion.

The prince dismounted with a clean, sharp movement. He looked up at the gate of the mansion and strode in.

The wife of the marquis and all the concubines and sisters were in the hall. When they saw the prince come in, they all bowed.

The prince bowed and said, "Thank you, Madam and everyone."

Afterwards, the prince went straight to Yunxi's room without stopping for a moment.

The prince came to Yunxi's room, knocked on the door gently, and said in a gentle voice: "Yunxi, I'm here to pick you up."

Yunxi, who was inside the door, heard the prince's voice and her face flushed like a ripe apple.

Xiao Cui smiled and opened the door. The prince was stunned when he saw Yunxi in her gorgeous attire. Yunxi wore a phoenix crown, surrounded by pearls and jade, with eyebrows as black as distant ink, eyes as clear as autumn water, and a cherry-like mouth that was red without any makeup.

The prince came to his senses, his eyes full of surprise and affection.

He walked forward, held Yunxi's hand, and said, "Yunxi, today you are my wife."

Yunxi lowered her head slightly and said softly, "Your Majesty, I hope you will take good care of me in the future."

The prince laughed heartily: "Of course, I will definitely protect you."

As he spoke, the prince helped Yunxi onto the bridal sedan, and the wedding procession headed towards the prince's palace in a lively manner.

When they arrived at the palace, the prince personally took Yunxi out of the sedan chair and led her into the lobby.

At this time, the hall was full of guests, and everyone was looking at the newlyweds with smiles.

The prince and Yunxi completed the ceremony with everyone's blessings.

Finally arriving at the bridal chamber, the prince gently lifted Yunxi's veil, looked at the person in front of him, and said, "Yunxi, you are so beautiful."

The prince said.

Yunxi lowered her head shyly.

The prince took Yunxi's hand and said cheerfully, "Come on, my lady, let's say goodbye to everyone in the Marquis' Mansion."

Yunxi nodded slightly and followed the prince out of the room.

Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion had already been waiting in the yard. Their faces showed reluctance, relief, and envy.

The prince held his head high and said in a clear voice, "Everyone, I will take Yunxi away now. I will definitely come to visit often in the future."

Yunxi also whispered softly: "Dad, Mom, I'm leaving. Please take care of yourselves." With tears in her eyes, the Marquis's wife walked forward, took Yunxi's hand, and urged: "Xi'er, when you get to the palace, be careful and take good care of yourself."

Yunxi nodded in response, her eyes full of reluctance.

After saying goodbye, the wedding procession marched towards the prince's palace in a mighty procession. Along the way, the gongs and drums were beating so loudly that they attracted the attention of the people on the street.

The prince rode on a tall horse, looking majestic. From time to time, he turned his head to look at the sedan chair behind him, with an unconcealable smile on his face.

Yunxi was in the bridal sedan, listening to the noise outside, her heart beating like a little rabbit.

Finally arriving at the prince's mansion, Yunxi was carefully supported by two maids as she stepped over the brazier. The fiery red flames reflected her shy face.

When I walked into the lobby, I saw that it was full of guests and everyone's face was filled with joy.

"Bow to Heaven and Earth!" the emcee shouted at the top of his lungs. Yunxi and the prince turned around and bowed respectfully to Heaven and Earth.

"Second bow to the elders!" The two bowed to the elders in the highest position. The prince's eyes were firm, while Yunxi's eyes were gentle.

"Husband and wife bow to each other!" Yunxi and the prince bowed to each other. The moment their eyes met, it seemed as if there were thousands of words in their eyes. Their eyes were full of love, so strong that it could not be dissolved.

"The ceremony is over! Send her to the bridal chamber!" With this loud shout, Yunxi was surrounded by maids and sent to the bridal chamber.

Inside the bridal chamber, red candles flickered, illuminating the room with a vibrant red glow. Yunxi sat on the edge of the bed, clutching the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, her heart filled with anticipation and nervousness.

She looked up at the door from time to time, hoping that the prince would come in soon.

After a while, the prince strode in. He looked a little drunk, but his joy was hard to conceal.

The prince gently lifted Yunxi's veil. Yunxi raised her head and they smiled at each other.

"Yunxi, from now on, you and I are husband and wife." The prince said, his voice so gentle that water could drip out.

Yunxi nodded, "Your Majesty, may we stay together for the rest of our lives."

The prince held Yunxi's hand and said, "I certainly will, my lady. I will never let you down in this life."

At this time, the noise of guests came from outside.

"Your Highness, you have to go out and have a few drinks with the guests." Ah Fu said outside the door.

The prince glanced at Yunxi reluctantly and said, "Then you take a rest for a while. I'll be back soon."

Yunxi smiled and nodded, her big watery eyes full of tenderness and understanding.

After the prince left, Yunxi sat alone in the bridal chamber. She sat quietly at first, then slowly stood up, gently swaying the heavy wedding dress on her body, and began to look around.

The room was decorated in a very festive manner, with red silk hanging from the beams and mandarin duck embroidered pillows neatly placed at the head of the bed.

She walked to the dressing table and looked at herself in the mirror. Her cheeks were as rosy as peach blossoms blooming in spring.

After an unknown amount of time, the prince finally returned, reeking of alcohol. As soon as he entered, he stumbled a bit, muttering, "These guys are really good at getting us drunk!"

"Yunxi, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." The prince said, his eyes bloodshot but still full of joy.

Yunxi quickly stood up, walked to the prince's side, and poured him a cup of tea. "Prince, have some tea to sober up."

Her hands were slender and white, and she handed the tea very carefully.

The prince took the tea, gulped it down, put the cup down, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said, "Madam is so thoughtful."

Afterwards, the prince walked over to Yunxi and gently embraced her with his arms open. His arms were strong yet gentle. "Yunxi, I'm really happy."

Yunxi leaned in the prince's arms, her face filled with happiness, and said softly, "Me too."

As the night deepened, Prince Wang and Yunxi slept together. Prince Wang's breathing gradually became steady, and Yunxi's mouth corners slightly raised, with a happy smile on her face.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window onto the two of them. Yunxi woke up first, tilting her head slightly to look at the prince who was still sleeping beside her, and couldn't help but smile.

The prince's usually majestic face now looked particularly peaceful in his sleep.

The prince seemed to feel Yunxi's gaze and opened his eyes. "Awake?" the prince said, his voice still a little hoarse.

Yunxi nodded, "Yeah."

The two stood up, and Yunxi gently tidied the prince's clothes, while the prince looked at her with a smile.

After washing up, they walked out of the room together.

When the servants in the mansion saw them, they all bowed and congratulated them. Some bowed their heads and said auspicious words; some raised their heads and smiled.

Yunxi and the prince responded with a smile.

In the next few days, Yunxi and the prince were busy entertaining guests who came to congratulate them.

One day, Yunxi and the prince were walking in the garden when they heard a quarrel. They hurried over to see that it was two maids arguing over a trivial matter.

Yunxi frowned slightly and stepped forward, saying, "Stop arguing. Let's talk it over." The two maids turned pale with fear when they saw Yunxi and the prince. They slumped to their knees with a plop, trembling all over and shouting, "Princess, spare me! Prince, spare me!"

Yunxi looked at their frightened expressions, sighed softly and said, "Get up, don't do this again."

The two maids kowtowed quickly and retreated with many thanks.

The prince smiled and looked at Yunxi, his eyes full of praise, "You handled it very well." Yunxi raised her head slightly, met the prince's gaze, and smiled, "It's all thanks to your good teaching."

The prince reached out and took Yunxi's hand, patting it gently. "My Yunxi is smart and kind." Yunxi's face flushed and she rolled her eyes at the prince coquettishly. "Your Highness only knows how to coax me."

The two continued walking in the garden, Yunxi's skirt fluttering in the wind. The prince turned his head from time to time to look at Yunxi beside him, with a smile always on his lips.

As they walked, Yunxi saw a flower in full bloom and reached out to pick it, but the prince stopped her and said, "Be careful not to prick your hand with the thorns. Let me do it."

As she said this, she carefully picked the flower and put it in Yunxi's bun, "It's so beautiful." Yunxi lowered her head shyly and touched the flower on her head with her hand.

At this time, a servant came running over and said, "Your Majesty, Princess, there are some distinguished guests coming up. You two need to greet them."

The prince responded, took Yunxi's hand and walked back. Yunxi adjusted her clothes as she walked, while the prince strode forward, not forgetting to turn back and tell Yunxi to walk faster.

In this way, Yunxi and the prince spent every day in happiness and sweetness.
