Chapter 539 Someone Comes from the Palace
Cui Yao was originally nervous, but when she saw Xiao Jialing stunned, she felt particularly happy in her heart. Her face was finally completely healed before the wedding.
"Coo."
Cui Yao's stomach growled and her face turned red instantly.
"Are you hungry? I'll ask someone to bring some snacks." Xiao Jialing came back to his senses, his hands and feet clumsy, unable to even walk. He walked out quickly and asked someone to bring in some snacks.
"Don't." Cui Yao didn't even bother to shout. Seeing Xiao Jialing walk into the house, Cui Yao had an urge to cover her face: "Brother Xiao, what if others misunderstand?"
"What are you afraid of? Just say I'm hungry." Xiao Jialing chuckled. He took Cui Yao's hand and sat down beside the table. He looked at the jewelry on her forehead and asked, "Is it heavy? Is it red?"
"It's okay." Cui Yao's head was full of jewelry, which was indeed a bit heavy, but she didn't want to say that.
"I'll help you take it off." Xiao Jialing stretched out his hand. Cui Yao dodged awkwardly and said, "Brother Xiao, I'll do it myself!"
"Let me do it, you can't see." Xiao Jialing took the initiative to help her remove the jewelry and said, "When Yue'er entered the palace, she kept complaining that her headdress was too heavy. Yours is even heavier than hers."
Xiao Jialing explained, fiddling with her hair with his slender fingers for a long time before saying, "How do I take these apart?"
"Puff!" Cui Yao laughed. When she heard what he said just now, she thought he was quite good at it. Unexpectedly, he actually couldn't do it. Cui Yao guided him and told him how to take it off. Soon, Xiao Jialing had taken off all her headdresses.
"It turns out it's quite simple." Xiao Jialing cleared his throat. Just then, the servant brought in the food. Xiao Jialing said, "Try it quickly. Here are some snacks and canned fruits. Which one do you want?"
"The jujube paste pastry is delicious. This canned lychee is made by us in Lingnan. The lychees on the tree are so beautiful. There are also canned longans." Xiao Jialing fed her delicious food while talking about Lingnan.
"Delicious." Cui Yao ate snacks and canned fruit. After a day of hunger, she finally filled her stomach. Listening to him talk about Lingnan, she said, "Brother Xiao, it must be very hard for you guys in Lingnan, right?"
As the eldest son of the Xiao family, she couldn't imagine the scene of him climbing trees to pick lychees and longans.
"It's not hard." Xiao Jialing held her hand, feeling her heartache, he smiled and said: "It's hard for you in Qingfeng Temple. You have worked hard over the years."
"It's not hard." Cui Yao shook her head and replied with a smile: "Life in Qingfeng Temple is peaceful. Every day, there are evening drums and morning bells, and I eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures. It's pretty good."
"From now on, no one will bully you anymore." Xiao Jialing pulled her into his arms with heartache, and his words sounded like a promise, extremely firm.
"Okay." Cui Yao leaned on him obediently, feeling his thunderous heartbeat and his firm promise in her ears. Her heart was filled with incomparable joy.
The flickering red candles illuminate a couple who are in love and snuggling tightly together.
…
"Headache." Xiao Jiuyue woke up and felt like her brain was about to explode, and her mouth felt sour and bitter.
"Miss, come on, drink some sobering tea to wake yourself up." Luo Kui was on duty today. She handed over the prepared sobering tea and said with a smile, "Miss, you are the first one to wake up. Miss Yurong and Miss Tingwu are still asleep. I heard they vomited all night last night."
"Ah?" Xiao Jiuyue was shocked. She said silently, "Tingwu is still young. Auntie San won't be unhappy, right?"
Luo Kui prepared water for washing and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Miss, the third lady is also drunk."
"That's good." Xiao Jiuyue drank the sobering tea and washed up, and her mind became much clearer. The scene of last night suddenly popped into her mind. She hugged Jun Lie and ate him like cabbage, and even vomited all over him.
"Miss, why is your face so red? Are you still drunk? Or did you catch a cold?" Luo Kui looked at Xiao Jiuyue worriedly and stretched out her hand. Xiao Jiuyue opened it and said, "I'm fine. I'm just hungry."
Xiao Jiuyue wanted to delete the image in her mind with one click. She would definitely not drink this rice wine next time. If she continued to drink it, who knew what she would do?
After Xiao Jiuyue had a light meal of porridge and buns, he was full and then went to the main courtyard.
Today is my sister-in-law’s first day home, so she must be staying with my grandmother.
When Xiao Jiuyue arrived, his elder brother Xiao Jialing and sister-in-law Cui Yao were standing in the middle, looking like they had just arrived.
"Grandma, mother, second aunt, third aunt, eldest brother and sister-in-law." Xiao Jiuyue greeted them as soon as she entered the door. She looked at Xiao Jialing and Cui Yao standing in the center. They were newly married yesterday and their faces were full of joy. Cui Yao, in particular, was shy and lovely, with infinite charm in her eyes.
"Brother and sister-in-law are truly a match made in heaven. Standing here, they look like the golden boy and jade girl beside the Bodhisattva." Xiao Jiuyue's words of praise came out one after another as if they were free.
Xiao Jiuyue's teasing made Cui Yao's face even redder.
"Yuer is right. Yaoer made some clothes for you. See if you like them." The smile on Xiao Jialing's face never stopped.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Xiao Jiuyue said happily when she heard that clothes were being made for her.
Xiao Jialing still had to go on duty, so he went out after sitting for a while. Only the women were left in the room. Old Madam Xiao was old and didn't stay long, so she let them go back.
Xiao Jiuyue wanted to talk to Cui Yao, but thinking that Cui Yao must have been very tired yesterday, she didn't say much and said, "Sister-in-law, thank you for the dress you made. It's very beautiful and I like it very much."
"I'm glad you like it. I picked out the lotus root pink color especially for you." Cui Yao said a little embarrassedly, "I, I didn't know what to give as a gift, so I thought of making clothes."
"The clothes are nice and practical." Xiao Jiuyue said with a smile, and took Cui Yao's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, you were busy all day yesterday. Go back and have a rest. We will have lunch together later."
"Rest? In the morning?" Cui Yao looked up at the early morning sun. Going back to sleep again? That would be so embarrassing.
"Ha~" Xiao Jiuyue yawned and said, "I drank too much yesterday. I need to go back and take a nap. I'll take my sister-in-law out for a walk later!"
"Sister-in-law, I'll go back to sleep first~~" Xiao Jiuyue went straight back to the yard. She was afraid to stay with Cui Yao, because she was afraid that Cui Yao would be too embarrassed to go to sleep.
The moment Xiao Jiuyue lay back on the bed, she felt like she had forgotten something.
"Miss, Miss, the palace has sent some gifts." Luo Kui's excited voice came, pulling Xiao Jiuyue up and saying, "Phoenix coronet and bridal robe, as well as lots of jewelry and head ornaments, they are so beautiful!"
"So that's what I forgot." Xiao Jiuyue put on the clothes she had just taken off. She was half asleep and finally realized what she had forgotten.
