Chapter 22 Are you in such a hurry to get married? Aren’t you waiting for me to reveal it? …
Princess Guang'an came over and used her elbow to push Shen Xingwan away and grab Shen Yunchao's sleeve. "Didn't you see the letter I wrote to you? Didn't I agree to pick you up at the city gate?"
Shen Yunzhao frowned slightly, stepped back imperceptibly, and said with a folded hand: "I am going back to the capital to see the princess off. How dare I trouble Her Royal Highness with her precious body?"
Princess Guang'an pouted her lips in displeasure, grabbed his arm and shook it to vent her anger, "It's only been two years since we last met, why are you so old-fashioned and distant? I call you Brother Yunchao, why are you still calling me Yue'er?"
She shook herself, "Is it okay?"
"I dare not."
"Brother Yunchao! Brother, brother..."
Shen Yunchao's head hurt from being shaken, and he looked at Shen Xingwan as if for help.
Shen Xingwan shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he was powerless and wanted to watch the joke. He turned his head, left the two sticky people behind, and slipped back into the mansion with a snicker.
Princess Guang'an, Wei Liyue, is the only jewel in the crown of Concubine De's family. She is deeply loved by the Emperor. She has a noble status and is the center of everyone's love. She has lived a pampered life since childhood. If she likes something, she must get it.
But there is only one thing that she is obsessed with but cannot get, and that is Shen Yunchao, the man who made her fall in love with him for the rest of her life at the first sight of him.
The first time she met Shen Yunchao, she was pestering her father to let her go with him to watch the martial arts champion selection. There were many talented young men in that martial arts exam, but most of them were very strong and muscular, looking like Zhong Kui and Zhang Fei, which made her eyes hurt.
Just when she was losing interest and was about to leave, a clear sword chant pierced the sky, and a young man in white clothes with an unruly smile on his face and bright and fiery eyes rushed into the ring and fought several people in a row.
He was like the rising sun, radiating vigor and vitality, his black hair neatly tied into a ponytail, flying freely with the sword. Every movement he made was extremely chic, full of youthful passion and fearlessness.
He was agile and skillful with his sword. He straightened his waist, turned his body, and stabbed and chopped with his sword. Every time he struck, his sword pierced the girl's budding heart.
Wei Liyue immediately grabbed Shen Xingwan who was accompanying her, "Hurry, within one stick of incense, I want to know who he is, his name, and whether he has a wife or concubine."
Shen Xingwan glanced at him and said, "Oh, it won't take that long. That's my brother, Shen Yunchao."
From then on, a figure that could never be erased took up residence in Wei Liyue's heart.
But no matter how she tried to show her affection, Shen Yunchao was like a wooden man and didn't respond at all, which often made her sad.
Shen Xingwan had no way to deal with this. Love is a matter of fate and cannot be influenced by human power. The two of them could only solve their own problems.
Thinking so, Shen Xingwan walked towards her own yard. She had to go see Wei Zihui and tell him to prepare for the transfer.
When passing by Tang Lin'er's courtyard, Shen Xingwan saw the servant bringing in several exquisite gift boxes.
The patterns on the gift box were all from the Western Regions. It was obvious that Shen Yunchao had just brought it back and had someone specially send it to Tang Lin'er.
Shen Xingwan sighed inwardly, withdrew his gaze and continued walking towards his own yard.
She already knew something about her brother's feelings towards Tang Lin'er, but in her previous life, Tang Lin'er only adhered to ethical principles and refused to respond to Shen Yunchao's feelings in the slightest.
Thinking about it now, she didn't care about ethics at all. She just had her eyes on Wei Zilin from the beginning, and there was no room for anyone else in her eyes and heart.
Unfortunate fate...
Shen Xingwan felt a little uncomfortable, and thought that she would have to think of a way to bring her brother and Princess Guang'an together.
Just as she was daydreaming, she heard a hearty laugh when she stepped into her backyard. She looked up and saw Xiao Lingling lying on Wei Zihui's lap in the corridor, helping him to untie the nine-ring chain in his hand.
Little Bell couldn't untie the knot, so she was so anxious that her face turned red and she started talking nonsense. Wei Zihui used his still-movable hand to fiddle with her hand a few times and easily untied the knot.
“Wow, that’s amazing!”
Little Bell opened her eyes wide and looked at Wei Zihui. Haibao clapped his hands, "Brother is awesome!"
Wei Zihui couldn't stop laughing, with a smug look on his face.
I didn't want to disturb this warm scene, but Wei Zihui's safety was more important at the moment.
Shen Xingwan stood there for a while before walking over and called out with a smile, "Little Bell, stop bothering your brother. Your brother needs to rest. Can you go find mom to eat some fruit?"
Little Bell was still not satisfied. She turned around to look at Shen Xingwan, then at Wei Zihui, and nodded obediently, "Okay."
She put down the nine-linked ring and stood up to leave. Wei Zihui held her back, took off the ring on his hand and was about to give it to her. After thinking for a moment, he put the ring back on his thumb and handed the nine-linked ring to her, "I'll give it to you. Take it and play with it."
"Thank you, brother!"
Little Bell was smiling happily and ran away like a butterfly catching the nine-ringed butterfly.
Shen Xingwan saw this and couldn't help but admire the Fourteenth Prince for his meticulous thinking and intelligence which far surpassed that of ordinary children.
She deliberately said, "It's good to give a child some toys, but the ring is too expensive."
Wei Zihui lowered his head and stroked the lines on the ring. He smiled but seemed a little helpless.
"It's not because it's so valuable, but this ring has my mark on it. I can't protect myself now, so giving it to her may not be a good thing."
Shen Xingwan was silent. Wei Zihui raised his head, his young face showing a solemnity that was not in line with his age.
"Thank you Miss Shen for taking care of me these days. I will definitely repay you if there is a future."
Shen Xingwan realized that he had guessed the purpose of her visit, so she stopped wasting time and said straight to the point: "Wei Zilin has known your whereabouts. The Regent King wants you to move first."
Wei Zihui nodded, "Okay."
There is no need to strike a loud drum again, and it is really easy to communicate with smart people. The two of them immediately agreed on the specific details of the transfer that night.
After settling Wei Zihui, Shen Xingwan planned to go see her brother again. She hadn't seen him for a long time and she had a lot to say to him.
When she walked into Shen Yunchao's room, she did not see Princess Guang'an. She only saw Shen Yunchao sitting in front of the table in a daze, thinking about something.
Shen Xingwan walked closer and her eyes fell on the table. There were several unopened brocade boxes on it. They were the ones that had just been sent to Tang Lin'er's courtyard.
It was obviously Shen Yunchao's intention, but she returned it intact.
Shen Xingwan felt bitter and didn't know how to persuade him. She just pretended to be relaxed and opened the brocade box. She asked with a smile, "Brother, are these what you want to show me?"
Shen Yunchao woke up as if from a dream. He put his big hand on the brocade box and forced a smile.
"No, yours is inside. I'll get it."
Shen Xing hurried over in the evening, and played with the various little gadgets that Shen Yunchao brought back for her with surprise, and made jokes to divert his attention.
In the next few days, Princess Guang'an visited Shen Yunchao almost every day and tried various ways to stick to him. Shen Yunchao was helpless and could not offend her, so he had to accompany her to play horse and football, drink tea and listen to opera every day.
The time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the auspicious day for the wedding.
It was still dark, but the Shen residence was already brightly lit, as the two young ladies were getting married on the same day.
One married the powerful regent, and the other married the crown prince who had just entered the East Palace. They were two beauties in the same family, the envy of everyone.
Madam Shen personally put on a crown and a hairpin for Shen Xingwan, and arranged her shawl. With tears in her eyes, she gently smoothed the tassels on her forehead and told her: "After becoming a wife, treat your husband better, respect him and love him, but also remember that your family will always be your support. May your life be smooth and happy."
"yes."
Shen Xingwan agreed, and Mrs. Shen personally covered her with a wedding veil and went to the front hall to listen to her parents' teachings.
Tang Lin'er also dressed up and, supported by Ruyi, came to the front hall to listen to the teachings and bid farewell to Prime Minister Shen and Madam Shen.
After listening to the teachings, Shen Yunchao walked slowly, taking his two sisters with him, and walked towards their respective limousines.
Amid the deafening sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers, Yan Jinghuan, dressed in wedding clothes, rode a tall horse and led the grand procession to pick up Shen Xingwan.
Because Wei Zilin was going to marry his principal wife Lu Yuzhi today, he had already gone to the Taiwei Mansion to pick up the bride. Tang Lin'er was unable to come in person, so the Ministry of Rites arranged for a concubine to come in a ceremonial carriage.
Tang Lin'er could not hide her disappointment, but there was nothing she could do, so she lowered her head and got into the limousine.
Shen Xingwan was also escorted by Shen Yunchao and boarded the ceremonial car of the Regent's Palace.
The tedious ceremony lasted a whole day. Due to the special status of the Regent and the Crown Prince, the brides had to enter the palace to listen to the Queen's teachings during the wedding ceremony.
Now that the throne of Queen is vacant, the Imperial Noble Consort will take over.
Shen Xingwan, Lu Yuzhi and Tang Lin'er all paid a visit to the Imperial Concubine. After she said a few polite words, they were sent to their respective new rooms.
Shen Xingwan didn't know why, but she felt dizzy and almost fainted when she knelt in front of the Imperial Concubine.
She forced herself to stay conscious and listened to the instructions. When she stood up, her feet felt weak and she was a little unsteady, as if she was walking on cotton.
She wanted to call Feiyun, but two maids immediately came up to her and before she could react, they had already supported her steadily and helped her walk out.
Shen Xingwan turned around to look for Feiyun, but his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and finally his vision went black and he lost consciousness completely.
When he woke up again, what caught Shen Xingwan's eyes was a bright red.
She was lying on a bed, her wedding cover still intact, and everywhere I looked was a warm red.
She sat up, looked around, and found herself in a new house. It was dark outside the window. A pair of red candles with dragon and phoenix patterns were shining brightly. The room was as quiet as water.
She raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, probably because she hadn't eaten or drunk anything for the whole day and was exhausted.
Fortunately, nothing serious seemed to have gone wrong, and she was sitting here safely.
"Feiyun." She called softly, thinking that Yan Jinghuan might still be entertaining the guests, she wanted to let Feiyun bring some cakes to fill her stomach first.
But after calling several times, there was no response.
Shen Xingwan frowned, thinking that perhaps the maids and servants were waiting outside the door, so she stood up by the edge of the couch and groped her way forward a few steps, "Feiyun, are you there?"
Her face was covered and her vision was blocked. She accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt and stumbled forward. As she screamed in shock, her waist was suddenly grabbed and she fell backwards into a strong embrace.
She originally thought it was Yan Jinghuan, but the scent of ambergris that filled her nose told her that it was not him!
Her heart suddenly sank and she raised her hand to lift the veil.
Wei Zilin's face suddenly appeared before her.
"So urgent."
Wei Zilin chuckled, "Aren't you waiting for me to reveal it?"
