Chapter 214 Wedding Night
Wen Chengyun's voice was low and clear, and his eyes were deep and expressive. Cheng Weiyao's face flushed instantly, and she lowered her head to avoid that burning gaze.
"Husband, please stop messing around. We've been married for so long..."
Cheng Weiyao's rare shy look made Wen Chengyun's smile even brighter. He coughed twice and looked away.
"If Madam doesn't say anything, I will assume you agree. Ah Yu, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and change your clothes for your sister-in-law."
"Ah! Sister-in-law, please come into the house with me, or I can let my brother change it for you personally."
Wen Liyu's face was as red as a ripe tomato because of excitement. She looked at the affectionate scene in front of her with shining eyes, just like the little fans in later generations who were obsessed with CP.
"Ayu! You're such a frivolous girl! I'm ignoring you!"
Cheng Weiyao's pretty face turned even redder. She said something angrily and then turned and walked into the room, leaving Wen Chengyun and Wen Liyu alone there to laugh secretly.
When she left the house, the courtyard had been completely renovated, with red lanterns and wedding characters pasted on the windows. This lively scene made Cheng Weiyao feel even more uneasy.
She glanced secretly at the people standing at the door of Prince Qingping's Mansion from the corner of her eye. Their faces were filled with happy smiles.
Cheng Weiyao felt a sudden surge of bitterness in her heart. She suddenly missed her family in the capital. She wondered how her parents were doing after leaving the Duke's Mansion...
"Sister-in-law, the bride needs to wear a red veil. Since your family is not at home, let me hold your hand!"
Wen Chengming, the youngest, immediately noticed the fleeting sadness in Cheng Weiyao's eyes. He snatched the red veil from Wen Liyu's hand and ran to Cheng Weiyao.
According to previous rules, most brides were brought home by their parents or siblings, but at this time Cheng Weiyao's parents were far away in the capital, so Wen Chengming took the initiative to take on this responsibility.
Looking at the clear eyes in front of her, Cheng Weiyao's eyes were filled with joy again. She bent down slightly and lowered her head, letting the veil block her view.
"Chengming, be careful and bring your sister-in-law here."
Both the aunt and the imperial concubine were thoughtful and specially placed a fire basin to symbolize prosperity.
"The princess is beautiful and virtuous. Your Majesty is so blessed. It's a pity that I'm still a bachelor~"
"Princess, don't just think about your own happiness. If there are any young ladies who don't mind, please introduce them to me. I guarantee that you and the prince will have eight children!"
Wu Qi brought Cheng Xiang and other close but tight-lipped brothers to the courtyard to watch the fun. Taking advantage of the happy occasion, they chatted and joked.
The fact that these people could come openly indicated that Wen Chengyun already had a certain amount of power. If Wen Chengyun had not advocated not to be too ostentatious, considering the generosity of Shuntian Restaurant and Cheng Xiang's connections as the new general, it would have been a grand ceremony.
Cheng Weiyao stared at the tip of her shoe under her veil, her face flushed with embarrassment.
Although she was a little envious of other people's weddings during the first hundred days, when it was her turn, Cheng Weiyao realized that it was not that easy.
First of all, this phoenix crown and bridal robe is quite heavy. I didn’t feel it when I first put it on, because I had to jump over the fire basin and worship heaven and earth.
When sitting in the new house, Cheng Weiyao felt sore all over. She quietly lifted the veil and realized slowly that there was a new house in her home.
The layout of this room looks unfamiliar and the orientation is different. I originally thought it was just a simple romantic ceremony, but it turns out this might be the real deal!
Thinking of this, the handkerchief in Cheng Weiyao's hand instantly became tangled into a dough.
Wen Chengyun, who was drinking outside, was also feeling anxious. Wu Qichengxiang and the others were forcing him to drink. He could have easily used his internal energy to force it all out of his body. But then he thought, this was his wedding after all, and as they say, truth comes out when drunk, so he might as well open up and finish what he hadn't said last time.
When the red candle had burned down to half, the originally closed door was gently pushed open. Looking at the figure in red sitting upright on the bed, Wen Chengyun's mind buzzed, and the speech he had prepared in his mind seemed to be blank in an instant.
He staggered forward, intending to take the wedding scale beside him to lift the veil, but he tripped and fell directly onto the big red wedding bed.
In addition to the wedding veil covering Cheng Weiyao's head, the red gauze of the bed curtain also fell. The atmosphere became warmer behind the gauze, and a pair of red candles burned until dawn.
While people in Qingshi Town were enjoying their daily life, the Minister of Revenue in the capital city began to take a new step.
He waited for a long time for the emperor's next move, and there was no news from his daughter Sun Jieyu, so Sun Youcai felt relieved.
A gray pigeon flew from a courtyard to Sun Youcai's residence, where he was happily sipping wine. He explained that he had served in the imperial court for many years and had always presented himself as an honest official. Even when he was implicated in the embezzlement of military pay and rations, he had chosen to err on the side of caution by using bird calls as encryption.
With so many layers of cover, it wouldn't be so easy to be exposed.
"Why are you yelling here in the middle of the night? You men are so childish, sometimes happy and sometimes sad..."
The Shangshu's wife had already bathed and changed her clothes. She was getting ready to go back to her room to rest in her pajamas when she saw Sun Youcai in the yard and couldn't help rolling her eyes.
A few days ago, I was so worried that I couldn't sleep, but now I'm happily drinking. This official must go crazy sooner or later...
Although she had a lot to say in her heart, but worried about her man's health, the lady turned around and walked behind Sun Youcai, gently pinching his shoulders.
"Husband, drinking late at night is harmful to your health. Why don't you go to bed early?"
Sun Youcai was in a good mood. Smelling a faint fragrance behind him, he pulled the warm and soft girl into his arms with both hands. Their eyes met, and for a moment, both of them breathed heavily.
"Husband..."
It was a rare sight to see his wife's shy side, and Sun Youcai wanted to spend some time enjoying the beautiful scenery of Liangcheng with the help of alcohol, but the pigeon had already flapped its wings and stood on the stone table.
He jumped forward and looked at Sun Youcai with eyes like black gemstones.
"Madam, please take a rest first. Your husband has important matters to attend to!"
Sun Youcai could only help his wife up with regret and smile awkwardly.
He did have that idea, but the letter came at the wrong time. Due to his future and livelihood, he had to take care of the arrival of the pigeon first.
