Five days later, the wedding took place as scheduled, and the Imperial Preceptor's residence was bustling with activity.
The Imperial Preceptor's Residence.
It was early morning, just as dawn was breaking.
Wan Qijin gently pulled Tu Shan Lingxi out of the covers. Seeing that she was still asleep, he felt a little sorry for her, but he still woke her up.
"Xi'er, Xi'er, wake up!"
"Ah, I haven't slept enough yet, I'm so sleepy!"
Tu Shan Lingxi was half-asleep, completely dazed, unaware of what day it was, and wished she could go back to sleep forever.
She was used to being willful and just wanted to go back to the warm jade bed. With that thought, Tu Shan Lingxi pushed away Wan Qijin's hand and shamelessly returned to the quilt.
"Sleep a little longer—"
Wan Qijin watched as the little fox lay back down and immediately fell fast asleep, sleeping more soundly than ever before, leaving her both amused and exasperated.
We need to think of a way to wake the little fox; we can't be late.
The Imperial Advisor is a master of divination; he has calculated that today is an extremely auspicious day. Noon is the lucky time. If you get married at this time, you will surely stay together until old age. You must not miss this opportunity.
Thinking this, the Grand Preceptor's purple eyes darted left and right, and suddenly an excellent idea popped into his mind.
"Uh...it's a celebratory feast today, there's roast duck, roast goose...if you get up late, there won't be any chicken legs left, and no more fragrant roast lamb legs!"
"What?"
When Tu Shan Lingxi heard about all this food, her ears perked up, wishing she could eat it right now.
But when she suddenly heard Wan Qijin say that it was over, she was jolted awake and sat up in bed.
Because she stood up too quickly, one of her sashes suddenly slipped down, revealing her fair and rounded shoulder, which was incredibly beautiful and alluring.
Wan Qijin was mesmerized. Even though he saw the little fox every day, and even saw its human form at night, the alluring sight still made his throat tighten.
In the end, Wan Qijin managed to force himself to look away from her with his strong self-control, but the image still left an impression on his mind.
However, the thought that he could openly embrace the little fox after the wedding banquet immediately calmed him down.
"Xi'er, today is our wedding day. Get up quickly, don't be late."
For the past few days, Tu Shan Lingxi has been confined to her bed by Wan Qijin and has rarely gone out. She has been in a daze all day and has really lost track of the days.
"A wedding banquet? So soon?"
She mumbled something to herself, but remained motionless, as if she were about to fall asleep again.
Wan Qijin sighed helplessly. It was his fault; he had forgotten the time last night and exhausted the little fox.
"Fine, fine, I'll personally help you get dressed and styled!"
Seeing that the little fox was being lazy, what else could Wan Qijin do but dress it up herself?
Fortunately, he had served the little fox quite often, so he was skilled and could handle it.
He carefully outlined the girl's eyebrows and eyes. In fact, there was no need to draw her eyebrows at all, because the little fox was already beautiful enough.
Her eyebrows were naturally black without makeup, and her lips were naturally red without lipstick.
Wan Qijin styled the little fox's hair into a bun. He was skillful and his hands made the three thousand strands of black hair seem obedient, with not a single strand running off.
After patiently dressing up the little fox, he put on the hairpins and jewelry he had chosen for her, including jade hairpins and gold hairpins, all of excellent quality and clearly well-maintained.
After finishing all this, Wan Qijin saw that the little fox was still half asleep, and a helpless smile appeared on his lips.
The little fox still hadn't changed into her wedding attire, which presented a dilemma for Wan Qijin. Should he dress her in it himself?
"Xi'er, would you like to put on your wedding dress yourself?"
Actually, Wan Qijin could, but he was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself; he had never been able to resist Xi'er.
So he coaxed her softly, his tone full of caution, his purple eyes carrying a hint of appeasement.
"ah?"
Tu Shan Lingxi didn't ignore him. She opened her eyes groggily and saw Wan Qijin's handsome face magnified.
The man wore a jade crown and had his white hair standing on end. His purple eyes were filled with joy, which left Tu Shan Ling Xi somewhat bewildered.
"What's wrong?"
Tu Shan Lingxi spoke in a sweet, coquettish voice, her slender white fingers gently tugging at the man's wide sleeve, like a little child asking him a question.
Wan Qijin's heart softened at the sight. He covered the little fox's eyes with his large hand, afraid that if he looked any longer, he would kiss her without thinking.
"It would be better for Xi'er to wear her wedding dress herself. I'm afraid I won't be able to resist and will be late."
Upon hearing what Wan Qijin said, Tu Shan Lingxi inexplicably recalled the scene from last night, and her face quickly turned red.
Tu Shan Lingxi could barely speak clearly. She stammered and pondered for a long time before finally coming up with this one word.
"Stop talking, you...pervert!"
"Ha ha ha ha."
Wan Qijin showed no anger at being scolded. He knew the little fox was thin-skinned and only said that because he had teased her.
After he laughed, he turned his back, and a rustling sound came from behind him.
Soon, the girl's soft, sweet voice rang out again.
"Okay, it's changed."
"!"
When Wan Qijin turned around, her eyes were filled with undisguised amazement, and she was even speechless for once.
The young girl possessed arched eyebrows like the autumn moon, eyes like autumn waves, rosy lips and red nail polish, dressed in red with ink-black hair—an extreme beauty that was unforgettable.
Wan Qijin couldn't help but marvel. He knew that because of its fur color, the little fox always wore white clothes after transforming.
Even in simple clothes, she was captivating enough to draw attention.
"So Xi'er looks so good in red, she's beautiful."
Unexpectedly, the little fox's red outfit was even more stunning, leaving him speechless for a long time.
After a long while, he finally let out a word of praise.
At this moment, Wan Qijin straightened her clothes, belt, and dress, his eyes filled with fervor, his breath almost burning hot.
However, knowing that the time had come and the sorceress was already waiting, he could only suppress the excitement in his heart.
Soon, Wan Qijin personally dressed the person up and handed her over to the sorceress, instructing her to make sure to cover Xi'er's head with a veil.
"Don't worry."
The sorceress was no ordinary person; her lineage had always been responsible for officiating the weddings of the imperial advisor. This particular sorceress was quite old and was the one who officiated at her father's wedding.
This shaman is in charge of marriage; those who are married by her will grow old together, just like their parents.
To bring good luck, he specially invited this fortune teller out of the mountains for this marriage.
As the wedding began, a sea of flowers drifted down from the sky. Wan Qijin held Tu Shan Lingxi's hand and walked step by step toward the altar.
For some reason, Yin Changling, who was watching the ceremony, suddenly felt a sense of panic. He inexplicably wanted to stop the scene, but in order not to spoil the mood of the Grand Preceptor, he gave up.
The wedding went surprisingly smoothly...
