Chapter 252 Cheng Ning's Happy Event
Yun Shu opened the fifth box as instructed.
She was stunned when she opened it. Inside was a bright red wedding dress and a gorgeous golden crown.
The moment she saw the thing, she covered her mouth and burst into tears.
Pei Tingyue looked at it and smiled tearfully, "I prepared this phoenix coronet and bridal robe a long time ago. I said I wanted to marry you off in style. Although I can't announce it today, I still need to have everything I need. Yun Zheng and I will put it on you later so you can go to the wedding hall."
Yun Shu was so moved that her voice trembled, "Your Majesty..."
She burst into tears after saying just two words.
Pei Tingyue took a step forward and hugged her tightly.
Yun Zheng's eyes also turned red as she watched from the side.
After calming down, Pei Tingyue pointed to the mother-of-pearl box in the box and said, "Open it and take a look."
Only then did Yun Shu notice that there was a mother-of-pearl box next to the golden crown.
She wanted to take it in her hand and open it, but she couldn't move it for a moment.
Heavy.
Yun Shu had already guessed what was inside.
Sure enough, when it was opened, there were neatly arranged silver ingots inside.
She cried and shook her head, "Your Majesty, I cannot accept this money. I have a monthly allowance, and there are a lot of bonuses in our palace, which I have saved and not spent. Over the years, I have accumulated a lot, so I am not short of money at all."
Pei Tingyue took a handkerchief and gently wiped her tears: "You don't need it, you don't need it. This one thousand taels is my heartfelt gift and also gives you confidence."
Yunshu cried even harder.
Pei Tingyue consoled him: "Today is your big day, don't cry until your eyes are swollen, that will be my fault."
Only then did Yun Shu stop crying, but her eyes were a little swollen after crying for a while.
Pei Tingyue patted her hands and said, "Let's go and change your wedding dress."
Go to the inner bedroom and change Yunshu's clothes.
Pei Tingyue pulled Yun Shu to sit in front of the dressing table and put makeup on her together with Yun Zheng.
Yun Zheng first applied powder to Yun Shu to cover her red and swollen eyes, then put red foil on her forehead and picked out some bright red lip balm to apply on her.
After putting on makeup and combing Yunshu's hair, she placed the golden crown on her head and also put the ruby and gold crabapple tassel hairpin on her.
Yunshu looks bright, generous and imposing when dressed like this.
Pei Tingyue exclaimed: "It looks good."
Yun Zheng also echoed.
Yun Shu looked at the beautiful lady in the mirror and felt a little shy.
After Yun Zheng finished looking at him, she chuckled and said, "Wait a moment."
She left the inner bedroom and came back after a while holding a box.
When it was opened, it turned out to be a gold bracelet and a gold necklace inlaid with gemstones, which were extremely exquisite.
Seeing Yun Shu's surprised expression, Yun Zheng said, "This is the makeup I gave you."
Yun Shu said anxiously, "This is too valuable. I can't accept it."
Having been in the palace for many years, she could also see that the bracelet and necklace were very valuable, almost half of Sister Yun Zheng's savings over the years.
How could she accept it?
Yun Zheng insisted on putting it on her and whispered, "Call me sister. This is a wedding gift from an elder sister to a younger sister. You can't refuse it."
Yun Shu's eyes were filled with tears again. Yun Zheng gently scolded her, "You finally put on your makeup, don't cry, or I'll be angry."
Yun Shu endured for a long time before suppressing his surging emotions.
Looking at the sky, Pei Tingyue covered her with a red veil, then he and Yun Zheng helped her up and said with a smile, "Let's go to the wedding hall."
Today, Pei Tingyue had already sent away the young palace maids and eunuchs of Chengning Palace, and there were only four palace maids, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, outside the palace.
After all, it was a marriage, so people from her parents' family had to come. Just her and Yun Zheng were not enough, so Pei Tingyue called Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong to come.
These four people have been with her for many years and can be considered her confidants.
Especially the two sisters Zhichun and Zhixia, they are becoming more and more skilled in handling palace affairs and are loyal.
Pei Tingyue was not worried that they would talk nonsense.
Seeing Yunshu dressed in red, they jumped for joy for a while, then followed her to Wufang.
Liang Fu was waiting at the door, with a red string tied around his waist. When he saw them, he called out, "The bride is here—"
It's rare that he doesn't stutter.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion in the room and the door creaked open.
Liang An was also dressed in red, and he stood at the door with a red face.
Seeing Pei Tingyue, she wanted to bow, but was stopped by Pei Tingyue. She handed Yun Shu's hand over and lowered her voice, "Why don't you hold it?"
Liang An nodded vigorously.
After wiping the sweat from his palms, he held Yun Shu's hand tightly.
After Pei Tingyue entered, everyone greeted him.
They were all acquaintances, including several eunuchs in front of the emperor who were good friends with Liang Yao. Apart from them, there were no other people.
Naturally, it was the main seat in the hall where Pei Tingyue sat.
After a while, Liang Yao arrived with the imperial edict. After announcing the edict, the ceremony began.
Liang Yao is Liang An's godfather, so he should sit in the upper hall. Pei Tingyue also said that they would not talk about those things tonight, but Liang Yao refused.
Finally, a stool was brought for him and he was asked to sit diagonally under the hall, and only then did Liang Yao agree.
After everyone was seated, Liang Fu shouted, "Bow to Heaven and Earth!"
Yunshu and Liang An bowed down and worshipped heaven and earth.
“Bow to your parents!”
This time, Yun Shu and Liang An knelt down and bowed to Pei Tingyue and Liang Yao.
Pei Tingyue held back her tears and didn't cry.
Liang Yao couldn't help but wiped away his tears secretly.
Originally, I adopted this son not to have him see me to my grave, but because I saw him being bullied and felt pity for him, so I adopted him like I was raising a puppy or kitten.
But after adopting him, he treated him like his own son.
Now seeing him kneeling with his new bride, Chief Steward Liang felt so sad that he could not help himself.
Liang Fu finally raised his voice and shouted: "Husband and wife bow to each other."
Yun Shu and Liang An bowed to each other.
The next step is to send her to the bridal chamber.
Yun Zheng helped Yun Shu in, and everyone drank in the house.
There were two tables of wine and noodles in the room. The dishes were all prepared in the small kitchen and were very rich. The wine was sent by Liang Yao and it was said that it was a collection he had for many years.
Pei Tingyue sat at one table with Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong, while Liang Yao sat at another table with Liang Fu and the others.
Although there are few people, it is very lively.
Those eunuchs had been in the palace for most of their lives, and what they said was humorous and funny.
Liang An came first to toast Pei Tingyue.
Pei Tingyue picked up the wine cup and said to him, "Be good to her from now on. If not, I won't agree."
Liang An said respectfully, "Don't worry, your Majesty. I will definitely not let her down."
They both drank all the wine.
Liang An went to toast Yun Zheng again, and after toasting this table, he went to another table.
After a while of fun, Pei Tingyue got up and went to the west room to see Yun Shu. "Your wedding is tonight, so you don't have to come tomorrow. Yun Zheng is here."
Yun Shu said shyly: "My Lady..."
Pei Tingyue knew that she was shy, so he didn't say much and just smiled and left.
After she and her men left, Liang Yao and his men packed up their things and left as well.
Liang An drank a lot of wine and his steps were a little unsteady, but his black eyes were bright.
He poured two glasses of wine and brought them in. He was not in a hurry to drink the wedding wine, so he placed them on the small table.
He first picked up the wedding scale and lifted Yunshu's veil.
After jumping away, he was stunned for a moment.
"My lady, you look so good."
Yun Shu blushed and said nothing.
Liang An sat on the bed, holding her hand tightly.
Yun Shu asked, "Drink some more quickly. This crown is so heavy, it's giving me a headache."
Liang An finally came back to his senses, handed her the wedding wine, and said softly, "May my wife and I be forever united in love."
Yun Shu looked at him and said, "We will be together forever."
