By the way, aren’t the people in their family too capricious?
It's clear that they want her to be a child bride!
"Grandpa, isn't this time a little too tight?"
Before Ling Wentian could say anything, Wei Jie had already answered her: "Everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared. You just need to show up at the Fengwang Mansion on that day."
Ling Yuan was even more puzzled when she heard this: "Are you ready? When did this happen?"
"After returning to Beijing."
His voice was light and clear, like calm water, but to other people's ears, it sounded like a raging storm.
Are you ready to go after returning to Beijing?
My God, how much self-confidence does this require?
Although she had known for a long time that she would inevitably get married this year, she had never thought that time would pass so quickly!
She frowned in disapproval, "No, there's only half a month left. I won't be able to sew my dowry in time. Even if you're in a hurry, you can't expect to get married in half a month, right?"
"It will take at least ten days to get from here to Siyou Country. How can this wedding procession be that fast? Do you want to torture me to death?"
Wei Jie looked at her thoughtfully: "Then tell me, when?"
The corner of Ling Yuan's mouth twitched. "Don't we need to look at the date for this? How can it be done at any time I say?"
Isn't this a bit too perfunctory?
Ling Yuan frowned unhappily. Although something unexpected might happen over time, this was her lifelong event in ancient times after all. How could she be careless about it?
What made her even more speechless was that the attitude of the Ling family was too cooperative.
"Girl, March 20th is the date that the Phoenix King has picked in advance. As for the dowry, we have already started preparing it since you and the Phoenix King decided to get married. Five days is more than enough time to prepare. Even if we set off five days later, it will not be delayed at all."
Ling Wuya's words made Ling Yuan's head explode, as if something had exploded.
My God, what an honor this is!
What was her identity at that time?
How could a little maid from Lingjiazhuang actually mobilize so much effort that the old man personally prepared her dowry?
I was so shocked that I couldn't utter a word for a long time.
No wonder, no wonder they don’t care about such a tight schedule.
It's clear that everything is ready except for the east wind!
"Grandpa, Dad, Mom, are you too nice to Yuan'er?"
Ling Yuan's voice was choked with sobs and she looked at everyone with red eyes.
Mu Qing walked up to her and gently pinched her face: "Silly girl, you have been in Lingjia Village for seven years and have long been integrated with us. We naturally cannot be careless about your marriage."
"At that time, your grandfather wanted to prevent you from suffering any loss in the Phoenix Palace, so the size of the dowry was comparable to your sister's."
"That's great. Now that you are our daughter, the dowry we prepared is legitimate and no one can find fault with it."
Ling Wentian raised his eyebrows proudly at Ling Yuan, "What do you think, Yuan'er? Grandpa is still the one who has foresight, right? Look, isn't it coming in handy now? This Wei kid is right, you will get married sooner or later anyway, what difference does it make whether it's early or late?"
"It's better to go there sooner rather than later, especially since you are now a real celebrity in the Four Continents. If you marry there sooner and change your status, it will also divert people's attention, right?"
Ling Yuan looked at Ling Wentian with a helpless look. Is this possible?
Originally, she wanted to sort out her properties and pick out some that could be used as a dowry, but she didn't expect that she wouldn't need to worry about it.
The Ling family had already taken care of everything that needed to be prepared and thought of for her.
For a moment, she didn't know how to respond. She could only stare blankly at this family who gave her the warmth and affection, unable to utter a word for a long time.
The Ling family did not avoid Wei Jie in telling her about every little thing they did to her, and Wei Jie saw it all. It was unexpected yet a little bit like it was natural.
Isn’t this what family love is?
You are good to me and I am good to you, there is no calculation, only warmth?
The corners of his mouth moved, but his throat felt a little dry. In comparison, the eighteen years he had lived were truly meaningless.
There is no warmth, only coldness.
There are 365 days in a year, and is there any day when we don't have to live in intrigue?
That kind of life can be described as a disaster.
He twitched the corner of his mouth, and suddenly realized that dragging Ling Yuan into this fire pit was a very immoral act.
However, he had no other choice. Even without him, with Ling Yuan's abilities, it would be impossible for her to live a peaceful life.
Rather than giving it to others for their benefit, it is better to be used by them.
"Do you have any other requests?"
When Wei Jie asked her this, Ling Yuan curled her lips and said, "What else can I say? You have prepared everything, so I will... marry you!"
But Ling Yuan looked bitter and resentful, Ling Yun chuckled, causing Ling Yi to flick her finger in annoyance, "Don't gloat over other people's misfortune, you'll be the next one."
Lingyun's eyebrows changed color, and she looked at her brother: "Me? Brother, you are wrong, right? My elder brother hasn't married yet, how can I, as a younger sister, get married first? This is inappropriate!"
Ling Yi glanced at her unhappily, "It's not that easy to choose the future wife of the owner of Lingjia Manor. We men can't compare to you women who are as young as flowers."
What this means is that a girl’s most precious years are those few years. If she doesn’t get married now, when will she get married?
Lingyun curled her lips in disapproval, "We'll talk about it later. What's at stake now is Yuan'er's marriage, not me. Don't miss the point."
Ling Yuan nodded, and the old man personally made the decision: "Okay, since our Yuan'er agrees, Wei boy, then you don't have to delay here, go back and prepare!"
Unexpectedly, Wei Jie smiled faintly and said, "I have brought everything I should bring. I just need to inform you of the wedding date. In order to save time, I will marry you in person."
Ling Yuan looked up in surprise and swallowed hard: "You want to marry her in person?"
"No?" Facing his question, she shook her head stiffly: "It's not that I can't, it's that it's too 'surprising'!
As he spoke, he forced a smile and pointed out the word "surprise" through gritted teeth.
Wei Jie said indifferently: "I will naturally marry my princess in person, so you should prepare well. I will come to your house in five days."
Having said this, he bid farewell to Ling Wentian, Ling Wuya and Mu Qing neatly and even nodded to the Ling brothers and sisters before leaving.
It wasn't until he left that Ling Yuan regained a little sense of reality: "Did I really get married like this?"
Ling Yun clasped her hands together, looking expectant: "This is the most important happy event in Lingjia Village in all these years. Haha, I never thought that the first one among the three of us to get married would be you, the youngest. Ha, don't say it, this feeling is really different. However, the attitude of the Phoenix King can still be rated full marks. He actually married her in person. I'm afraid this has never happened in the history of marriage alliances, right?"
Ling Yuan rolled her eyes. "You really believe it? Didn't he just say that? In order to save time, if he goes back now and sends someone over, how long will it take?"
Lingyun didn't think so. "Silly girl, he can just send a letter here and send someone to marry you there. It won't delay you at all. He did this obviously for your sake. This marriage is good. As long as he treats you well in the future, we will be relieved, right, Dad and Mom, ok?"
Ling Wuya nodded in agreement, "Yun'er is right. Another possibility is that he doesn't want any more problems to happen at the wedding, so he wants to escort you personally. He has considered almost all possible events. It seems that this Wei boy still cares about you."
Ling Yuan still waved her hands indifferently: "Dad, Mom, he did this not only for my own good, but also for his own good. Oh, I won't tell you anymore. You have all been bewitched by that guy. Forget it, you can think whatever you want. I think you should get busy, right? Then I will also prepare. I said I would get married, but I didn't prepare myself at all. There are really too many things to organize and too many letters to send."
Ling Yuan complained as he walked, his chubby face completely wrinkled, which made the Ling family members laugh.
"Our Yuan'er is really different. If it were any other little girl, she would probably be shy and timid, right? Look at her, she looks distressed. This is not the expression a girl who is about to get married should have at all!"
Although I am very proud that my daughter has grown up, I can't help but shed tears of sympathy for myself when I think that this little girl has only been my daughter for a dozen days and will soon become someone else's.

“是,夫人。”
“是,娘,保证完成任务。”

于是乎,灵家庄在接下来五天时间里,那是全员行动,人手不够的时候,甚至还朝药王谷抽调人过来,只为了要给他们家的二小姐打造一场丝毫不亚于皇室公主的婚礼。
凤池山庄的各位也早已按耐不住,准备伺机而动倾巢而出,却被灵鸢一声令下,‘想要曝光我的身份,就尽管去’,此言一出,谁还敢动?只能憋屈的老实待着。
可这身体待住了,却影响不到他们的脑子,前后斟酌之后,决定此次靠家族的力量,想尽办法为灵鸢的婚事增光添彩。
好在有灵鸢在不夜城创下的奇迹在,以这个理由回馈她,也并不算突兀。
除了这些亲朋好友之外,在不夜城中深受此二位恩惠的四方大陆的各大势力,也纷纷摩拳擦掌,打算在凤王大婚那天,送上他们最由衷的祝福。
但是,也有送的不情不愿,甚至是咬牙切齿的,比如忠义侯府,比如魅国皇室,再比如直到大婚前才得知婚期的卫瑜琛一流。
即使卫玠此次并没有邀请到他们,可身为魅国人,在与司幽国和亲的前提下,不但是他们,甚至于其他魅国有影响的势力、皇室都要尽绵薄之力。
所以,就算郦洪涛、郦权不愿,那也只能安放在心里,不能明面表现出来,再怎么说,这也事关两个国家的和亲大事,身为皇室中人,他们更应该加大投入,才能不损国威。
当然,他们的不愿可是影响不到凤王府的动作,五天,不过五天时间,凤王府上上下下就完全变了个样儿,不但装饰的喜气洋洋,红绸遍布,就连凤王府门前的街道,也被凤王府承包下来,灯笼,红绸,鲜花,一切婚礼所需都被提前预定,只待三月二十那天,红动天下。
司幽国中也因凤王丝毫不顾及皇室面子而闻风而动,私底下更是因为各种各样的试探而摩擦不断,生怕一不小心站错了队,将来后悔莫及。
自打卫瑜琛下了不再为卫玠的婚事做主的圣旨之后,他们就敏感的觉察到兄弟俩的争斗已经从早些年的隐晦表达,变成如今光明正大的挑衅,尤其凤王这次还真就一点面子都不给,真的理所应当的自己准备了起婚事,这更令他们震惊无比。
甚至这次的较量委实措手不及,之前大张旗鼓的前往灵家庄,本以为只是确定个婚期,没想到婚期是定了,可却定的这般紧张。
若不是凤王府行动起来,他们焉能知道再过半个月,就是凤王大婚的日子?
这分明就是不打算给别人反应的时间啊!
自打婚期敲定之后,别说是他们,就连皇上也几次三番的请不动凤王府的那尊大佛,气的他原本就很严重的心病,这下似乎更严重了。
任凭外面乱成一团,也丝毫没有影响到这次事件的男主角。
凤王府照旧该干嘛干嘛,大有一副‘什么事也没有本王成亲重要’的架势。
直到五天之后,他们才知道,人家凤王压根儿就没回来,而且这次本来就是冲着亲自迎娶未来凤王妃而去。
消息一出,天下再次哗然。
纷纷揣测,这未来的凤王妃不是才十一岁大?而且听说长得又黑又胖,这凤王殿下,到底看上她哪一点儿了?
竟然可以冒着与当朝皇帝为敌的架势,也要将她娶到手?
难不成,真的与灵鸢在不夜城里所创下的辉煌战绩有关?
这般一琢磨,似乎也没什么不对,任谁都想娶一个对自己有利的娘子,尤其还是光明正大的迎娶,这完全就是意料之中,情理之内了,当然,如果不算之前司幽国皇帝趁机作乱的话,这桩婚事简直完美的无可挑剔。
当下便有些明白,凤王为何这般执着,冒着得罪两国皇帝的风险,也要拿下这桩婚事了。
由于时间有限,是以灵家庄在最大程度上准备了嫁妆,便连当初凤王送过来的那一百六十台聘礼,也被他们分文未动的全都置放在了灵鸢的嫁妆之中。
三月初九那天,天空晴朗,万里无云,加上又是春暖花开的好时节,凤王迎娶的队伍加上灵家庄送亲的队伍,硬是将灵山附近的各个交通要道占的水泄不通。
灵鸢穿着大红喜服,被灵翊背出灵家庄,亲手送到了卫玠的手里。
由于路途遥远,是以为灵鸢准备的婚车格外的宽敞豪华,舒适,上车的那一瞬间,她掀开车帘,望着站在门口拭泪的无涯夫妇,灵问天,喉头不自觉的为之一哽,眼泪便不受控制的落了下来。
她还尚未好好的体验这种家的温暖,就被送上了嫁车,再见,又不知何年何月了?
爷爷,爹爹,娘亲,哥哥,姐姐,鸢儿一定会好好的,好好的祝福你们的,保重了,我最亲爱的亲人们。
卫玠同样一袭大红礼服,骑在高头大马之上,本就生的高大挺拔的他,在阳光的映衬下,喜气洋洋的氛围当中,原本脸上像蜈蚣一般扭曲纹路,似乎也有了些许弱化的感觉,那完美的侧颜,更是吸引了无数人目光的追随。
灵鸢望着他的背影,手中的苹果紧紧的攥起,红唇更是抿成了一条直线,卫玠,我们应该可以相敬如宾的吧?
“天呐,这就是司幽国的传神战王吗?天,太神气了,这样的穿着打扮,显得那疤痕一点也不恐怖嘛,居然还说他嗜杀残忍,就凭他对这未来凤王妃所做的一切,都值得那些男人们学习,好好瞧瞧人家,多么的威武霸气啊!”
“无法想象,没有疤痕的凤王该是怎样的丰神俊朗,仅是一个侧颜就要迷死人了,那若是完整的容颜,岂不是惊天地泣鬼神的地步?”
“哇哦,这样的凤王殿下才更有男人味儿啊,你看看,你们看快,这举手投足间流露出的霸气凛然,哪里是一般人能够比得上的?啊咧,这未来的凤王妃可真真让人羡慕啊!”
“可不是,不但拥有灵家庄上上下下的宠爱,居然能够小小年纪就收获堂堂战神的心,当真是不容小觑啊!还有还有,你们看那长的看不到尾巴的送嫁队伍,我的老天,这得多少台嫁妆啊?”
“听说灵家庄连之前凤王送的聘礼也一概送了过来呢,这嫁妆队伍,怎能不长?恐怕连当朝公主也没有这个待遇吧?”
“嘘,都别说话,快来数一数,灵家庄二小姐的嫁妆到底有多少台?一二三四五……,”
当迎亲送嫁的队伍一点点消失在众人的面前时,才有人从愕然中回过神来:“老天啊,我们刚刚没数错吧?整整三百六十台,三百六十台的嫁妆啊!”
“你没数错,因为我们数的也是这个数,老天啊,这凤王妃到底是何方神圣啊,这,这待遇,是不是也太耀眼了?三百六十台,恐怕皇室三个公主出嫁,才能凑足这么多的嫁妆吧?这灵家庄怕是足足准备了二百台,二百台的嫁妆啊!”
“真是可怕的数字,这灵家二小姐这般嫁过去,恐怕谁也不敢小看她了。不但得凤王殿下如此看重,便是连灵家也如此疼爱,将来的地位,又怎能低了去?丑一点胖一点又怎样?还不是混的如此风生水起?”
“这才是实力,真正的实力啊!”
……
三百六十台嫁妆,除去卫玠的一百六十台,余下的二百台嫁妆了,其中一百五十台来自灵家庄和皇室送来的,余下的五十台则是她自己的,不过最后不管是谁送来的,全都融到了嫁妆的队伍中去,所创造出来的轰动,自然是空前绝后的。
从灵山到司幽国的这一路,他们无论走到哪里,都是最受瞩目的所在。
不单单是卫玠本人,嫁妆队伍,当然还有她家翊哥哥这位送嫁人所散发出的独特魅力,均为她挡去了大部分投注在她这里的目光。
因为时间紧,所以送嫁队伍全都是马车和马匹,没有行走的人,是以这一路基本上都在赶路,等到达司幽国边境时,已经三月十八日,距离大婚,只剩下一天多的时间。
饶是灵鸢这经常出门的人,也在颠了一路的马车中,东摇西晃,苦不堪言。
好在这一路均平安无事,或许是因为他们目标太大了,也或许是有卫玠这个明晃晃的弑杀之神在,他们竟然还真的一路平安的,时间刚刚好的抵达了凤王府的大门前。
After entering the capital, Ling Yuan's carriage was surrounded by long red carpets, flowers, red silk, and lanterns. With music and dance all the way, it entered the Phoenix Palace in a lively and bustling manner.
