Chapter 355: I Will Do Whatever I Say
In Song Wan'er's opinion, if Jiang Hao had not sent someone to keep an eye on her, he would not have known that she rode a horse to see the princess off before her wedding, and it would not have become known to everyone.
So it was Jiang Hao's own fault that he was in such an embarrassing situation now.
Seeing this, Huo Yanran couldn't help but smile, "Yes, this is all Jiang Hao's fault."
When Song Wan'er heard this, she raised her little face and said seriously, "I knew that the princess is the one who understands me the best."
If anyone else heard her say this, they would definitely think that she shouldn't do that.
Only the princess thinks she is right no matter what she says or does.
When Song Wan'er thought of this, she felt even more reluctant to leave the princess.
The words of reluctance do not need to be said with the mouth; they will be revealed in the eyes.
Huo Yanran said to Song Wan'er, "You are getting married today. I have already sent the dowry I prepared for you to the Song residence. I didn't expect you to come and see me off in person. I don't have anything good to leave you as a souvenir, so I'll give you this phoenix hairpin—"
The princess plucked a ruby phoenix hairpin from her head and placed it on Song Wan'er's head. "This is what my mother prepared for me. There is only one pair of them in the world. One for you, one for me. The phoenix hairpins are a pair, and our love will last forever."
"Okay, then I won't be polite to the princess."
Song Wan'er raised her hand and gently moved the tassel of the phoenix hairpin, then looked up at Huo Yanran in front of her.
The two brides were dressed in their own unique styles, but they wore the same phoenix hairpin, with long tassels hanging down from their temples, which was precious, gorgeous and sparkling.
Song Wan'er wanted to say something else, but Huo Yanran suddenly held her hand with one hand, lifted the curtain with the other hand, and called out to the carriage, "Master Liu."
Liu Yan stepped forward, bowed and said, "I am here."
Huo Yanran said, "I heard that Master Liu is very skilled in painting and is a master here. Could you please draw a picture for Wan'er and me?"
The last time they saw the night-blooming cereus in full bloom, they both wanted to let Chunzhi, who was thousands of miles away, see it too. Now they are both getting married on the same day, but Chunzhi cannot see them in their wedding dresses. She will inevitably feel regretful when she thinks about it in the future.
Liu Tanhua happened to be there, so Huo Yanran thought of asking him to draw a picture of herself and Wan'er at this moment.
Liu Yan nodded and said, "As long as the princess commands, I will obey all orders."
"That's great, thank you, Master Liu."
Song Wan'er had long heard that Liu Tanhua's painting skills were extraordinary and priceless, and she had never thought that she would have the chance to have him paint a picture for her in this lifetime. She was immediately overjoyed.
Seeing this, the Beili envoy stepped forward and said, "It's getting late, Princess, you should set off early."
Huo Yanran said, "We've already left the city, so we don't need to waste time on this painting."
The Beili envoy wanted to say something else, but Jiang Hao said, "You are not willing to fulfill even such a small wish of the princess. This general thinks your sincerity is not very good."
Song Wan'er didn't expect Jiang Hao to help the princess. She looked at Jiang Hao in surprise.
Jiang Hao seemed to have noticed her gaze and glanced over, his eyes full of "I'll settle the score with you when I get back!"
Song Wan'er smiled at Jiang Hao and clasped her fists to thank the general.
Jiang Hao turned his gaze away from her and said to the Beili envoy again, "If you can wait, then wait. If you can't, then go back to Beili. Do you think our Daxing princess is going to rush to marry into Beili?"
The Beili envoy was choked when he heard this.
Liu Yan said at the right moment: "A painting doesn't take long, just one stick of incense."
The Beili envoys whispered a few words in Beili dialect, then stepped aside to continue waiting.
Liu Yan ordered his attendants to prepare brushes, ink, and paints, and asked the palace servants to open the carriage, lift the curtains, and let Song Wan'er and the princess sit together.
The attendants set up the table and presented the brushes, inks and paints. Liu Tanhua rolled up his sleeves, spread out the drawing paper and weighed it down with a paperweight. He looked up at the two brides in front of him for a long time before he began to paint.
Jiang Hao dismounted with his followers and sat on a rock nearby, waiting while watching Liu Tanhua paint.
Seeing this, the brothers who had followed him out of the city couldn't help but whisper, "General, aren't you here to capture the bride? Why did you wait when she told you to?"
"More than that. Our general not only waits himself, he makes the Beili people wait as well!"
"My momentum isn't right..."
Someone keenly sensed that something was wrong and whispered.
Someone asked, “What’s wrong?”
"If this trend continues, our general might be a henpecked husband."
When Jiang Hao heard this, he glanced at them coldly.
Seeing this, everyone immediately fell silent.
Song Wan'er was a little further away and only heard the people Jiang Hao brought talking in low voices, but she had no idea what they were talking about.
But at this moment, she and the princess were both thinking about what Liu Tanhua had painted them like, and didn't care about those people.
While Liu Tanhua was painting, Song Wan'er whispered to Huo Yanran, "Did the princess let Liu Tanhua paint on a whim, or did she have this idea for a long time?"
Huo Yanran smiled and asked instead of answering, "What do you think?"
Song Wan'er knew.
The princess had this idea long ago, and it was just a coincidence that she was able to be included in the painting today.
The two sat together, talking in low voices. Liu Tanhua would look up from time to time, and then they would both shut up and smile.
The incense stick was about to burn out, and Liu Tanhua put down his paintbrush and asked the palace servants to bring the finished painting to the front of the float to show it to the princess and Miss Song.
Song Wan'er looked at it carefully for a long time. "Why do I feel that Liu Tanhua's painting of the princess is much more beautiful than mine?"
Huo Yanran smiled and said, "Really? Isn't it true that I'm just a little bit prettier than you?"
"Princess!" Song Wan'er had an expression that said 'I finally see your true face', but the time they spent together was always so short. Before she could finish her words, she saw the envoy from Beili walking towards her from a distance.
Come again to urge us to set off.
The smile on Song Wan'er's face disappeared in an instant.
Huo Yanran reached out and touched herself in the painting. She dreamed of having Liu Tanhua paint a picture for her.
It’s a pity that she can’t keep this painting and has to send it to her sister-in-law in Xizhou.
"Put it away, be careful not to break it."
Huo Yanran asked Zhiqing to put the painting away and send someone to deliver it later when the Beili envoy was not paying attention.
"It's getting late. You should go back to the Song residence to get married." Huo Yanran suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Don't make the general angry."
Jiang Hao and the people from the general's mansion sat not far away and waited for a long time. Although they didn't say anything, they looked over here frequently.
Even if Song Wan'er had made up her mind to divorce Jiang Hao, they would still have to live together for a few years. Huo Yanran still hoped that Wan'er could live better under Jiang Hao's supervision and not offend him too much at the moment.
"I understand." Song Wan'er stood up and said to the princess, "From now on, the mountains are high and the waters are long. Princess, you must take good care of yourself. You and I will definitely meet again."
Huo Yanran nodded and said, "I'm looking forward to the day we meet again."
Song Wan'er walked out of the carriage. When she was about to get off the carriage, she had difficulty lifting the skirt of her wedding dress. Jiang Hao stood up and walked quickly forward, offering her a hand to help her...
