When Feng Yuheng came out again, her lover was wearing a phoenix robe made of brocade, wedding shoes made of five treasures, and a veil on his head, which concealed the phoenix crown made of yellow crystal.
Although people didn't get to see Princess Ji'an in her wedding make-up, the atmosphere was even more enthusiastic. Opposite Baicao Hall was a tavern. The owner of the tavern had already asked the cook to make a bowl of hot soup noodles when Feng Yuheng went to get dressed. He personally brought it over and said to Xuan Tianming, "Your Highness, according to the custom in our southern region, the bride must eat a bowl of noodles before leaving the house. I am the shopkeeper of the tavern opposite, and I specially made a bowl of noodles and brought it over. If the princess doesn't mind, just have a bite and ask for good luck!"
Xuan Tianming didn't say anything, but Bai Ze, who had been following him, came forward and brought the noodles over. He thanked him and turned around to quickly test for poison. After confirming that it was fine, he brought it to Feng Yuheng and said with a smile, "Princess, have a bite!"
Feng Yuheng nodded and took a bite with Wangchuan's help, which was considered to be in line with the custom in the Southern Realm.
When the people saw her eating noodles, they smiled even more and started to say auspicious words. It was not until Feng Yuheng sat in the wedding sedan and Xuan Tianming led the wedding procession out of the South Gate that the city finally calmed down. However, the heated discussion did not end. The wedding of the Ninth Prince and Princess Ji'an was a big event for the people of Lanzhou City, especially since Xuan Tianming had sent out so many unique red envelopes. When people opened them and saw that the things inside were so good, they were all so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.
Feng Yuheng sat in the wedding sedan, listening to the drums and music outside. The sedan moved slowly forward, following the team out of the South City Gate, step by step into the desert area. Passing through Biannan, they walked on the road to Shaping City.
Wang Chuan Huang Quan was on the right side of the sedan, and the matchmaker was on the left. At this time, she was talking to Feng Yu Heng through the window: "Princess, I am just an ordinary matchmaker. The Ninth Prince said that everything must be done for marriage. Although the Southern Realm cannot be compared with the capital, it still has to have what it should have. That's why I asked an old woman to come here to make things happen. Princess, please don't despise me."
How could Feng Yuheng dislike this? Moreover, although the matchmaker looked like a matchmaker, she had a good appearance, no bad habits, and was polite in her speech, which was to her liking. So she smiled and said, "Thank you, mother-in-law, for coming to complete this marriage. This princess will reward you later."
"Oh, I dare not accept it!" The matchmaker said quickly: "His Highness the Ninth Prince has already given me a generous reward. I absolutely cannot accept yours!" After that, she stopped talking about this and started to talk about business: "Princess, your wedding ceremony with His Highness will be held in Jueping City, but the newlyweds do not travel at night, so we will rest in Shaping City tonight and go to Jueping City from Shaping City early tomorrow morning, just in time for the wedding ceremony before dark."
Feng Yuheng then realized that she couldn't get married today!
The matchmaker seemed to be aware of her emotions and quickly added: "His Highness said that he regretted not being able to complete the wedding ceremony on the princess's coming-of-age day. But there are surprises in Shaping City, and I believe the princess will not be disappointed when she arrives."
The matchmaker only said there was a surprise, but she refused to tell Feng Yuheng what the surprise was no matter how much she asked. The woman sitting in the sedan chair was already thinking about what the surprise was. Unfortunately, no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't figure it out.
The wedding procession entered Shaping City before dusk. As soon as they entered the city, they heard Wang Chuan Huang Quan's screams again and again, which made Feng Yu Heng want to lift the veil and open the curtain to take a look, but the matchmaker stopped her: "Princess, you can't lift it. Although you don't have to keep the veil on all the time, you can't take it off until you enter the temporary house in Shaping City. You have to put it on again tomorrow!"
"Wangchuan Huangquan!" She ignored the matchmaker and called her maid: "What are you two bluffing about? Tell me what's going on!" She was extremely anxious. The feeling of being able to only listen but not see was really bad.
Wang Chuan and Huang Quan were obviously so surprised that they didn't even have time to answer their young lady's question immediately. It was not until Feng Yuheng asked the second time that Huang Quan said, "Young lady...you can't imagine this! It's too shocking. I can't believe that His Highness the Ninth Prince actually did this!"
Wang Chuan also said: "That's right, it's unbelievable, Miss, this is definitely a surprise, a real surprise!"
What the two of them said was as good as nothing. Feng Yuheng's nose was almost crooked with anger. What kind of maids did she keep? They were deliberately making things difficult for her at the critical moment! She was so angry that she sat back in the sedan chair, her mouth puffed up, and her breath blew up her red veil. Unfortunately, she still couldn't see the scene outside.
But she didn't have to be so depressed all the time. As the team moved forward, she gradually heard clearer voices coming from outside. She heard a woman saying with a smile, "Guess, will Ah Heng cry or laugh when he sees us?"
When Feng Yuheng heard this voice, she almost lost control and stood up in the sedan chair. Then she hit her head with a "bang" and had to sit back down. The matchmaker outside said helplessly: "Princess, you have to be careful. Even if the sedan bearers carry the sedan chair steadily, they can't stand you tossing and turning in it all the time!"
But how could Feng Yuheng not toss and turn? If today wasn't a special day, she would really rush out, because she really heard the voice just now, it was Xuan Tiange! That was Xuan Tiange's voice! Is Tiange here? Came to the South Realm? When did this happen? Is this the surprise Xuan Tianming mentioned? She couldn't hide her joy on her face, twisting her sleeves with both hands, she was extremely happy.
But this is not the end. Just as Xuan Tiange finished his voice, familiar voices came one after another - "Of course I will laugh, but it is also a laugh with tears. Do you understand that I am crying with joy?"
"Hey, keep your voices down. Don't let Ah Heng hear you. The Ninth Prince said he wanted to give her a surprise. It won't be fun if she hears. Especially you, Tiange! You have the loudest voice."
"Do you think you spoke softly? We followed the wedding sedan all the way. If Ah Heng didn't hear us, she wouldn't be Ah Heng anymore!" After the man finished speaking, he suddenly shouted into the wedding sedan, "Ah Heng! Did you hear us? We came all the way from the capital to add to your dowry!"
Feng Yuheng's tears suddenly welled up, with an unconcealable smile on her face, and the tears just flowed out, feeling happy, joyful, and heartwarming.
She could tell that Xuan Tiange, Feng Tianyu, Ren Xifeng, Bai Furong, her best sisters in the capital, were all here. Was this a surprise from Xuan Tianming? It was such a surprise!
She was so busy crying that she didn't reply in time. The matchmaker spoke up, "Oh, ladies! The bride cannot reply to you in the sedan chair. You can't break the rules!"
Then Xuan Tiange said again, "Hahaha! Rules? Don't be ridiculous. When I follow my ninth brother, how can I talk about rules? My ninth brother is the most unruly person in the world. But never mind. Today is Ah Heng's big day, and it has to be perfect. Let's just keep quiet. Hurry up and go into the house. Ah Heng, we miss you so much."
She missed them too. Feng Yuheng's heart was pounding. Her intuition told her that Xuan Tianming had more surprises than these. Perhaps there were even bigger surprises waiting for her ahead, in the house where she would temporarily stay tonight.
Feng Yuheng's prediction was correct. She got off the sedan chair at the door of the house and was helped across the threshold. Xuan Tianming personally took her over and held her hand and walked to the backyard. Because there was no wedding ceremony today, there were not so many rules. When they arrived at the inner room, he lifted the wedding veil on Feng Yuheng's head and wanted to take the girl out to see. Unexpectedly, Feng Yuheng hugged him and cried.
Xuan Tianming was confused by her crying. It took him a long time to react. He asked tentatively, "Are you touched? Oh, Hengheng, you have to believe me. I said I would marry you on your coming-of-age day, and I will definitely keep my word. Don't cry!"
Who knew that Feng Yuheng wasn't crying about this at all. She sniffed and said, "You're so thoughtful that you even invited Tiange and the others to come to the South Realm. I'm still thinking about getting married, but there are no familiar sisters around to bless me, and no relatives are there, so I always feel uncomfortable."
Xuan Tianming was stunned for a moment, but smiled and said, "You're crying about this? Well, it's too early for you to cry now. Let's go! Follow me out for a walk, right here in this house, and see if you are satisfied with the surprise I prepared for you."
Feng Yuheng was dragged out of the house with red and swollen eyes. It was not until she walked out of her courtyard and came to the main hall that she found that the main hall was full of people, all of whom she recognized. Xuan Tiange, Feng Tianyu, Ren Xifeng, Bai Furong, her eldest aunt Xu, her second aunt Qin, her younger sister Feng Xiangrong, Ju Ran... and her younger brother Feng Zirui and her third aunt Miao. Looking to the other side, there were the fourth prince Xuan Tianyi, the seventh prince... Xuan Tianhua.
Feng Yuheng's tears burst out again, and she could no longer hold them back, so she stood there, covering her face and crying.
Feng Zirui rushed to her first, raised his hand to wipe her tears, and said as he wiped them: "Sister, don't cry. My brother-in-law said that getting married is a happy event, and crying is not allowed. Look, Zirui is here. Do you miss him?"
Thinking about it! How could she not think about it! Especially after Yao and Feng Jinyuan passed away, she loved and missed her brother even more. She held the boy Rui in her arms, not caring about his appearance at all, and cried so wantonly.
She cried, and Zirui cried too. The brother and sister were like a faucet that had been opened, and they could not stop crying.
Finally, the Xu family's aunts couldn't stand it anymore, and they came forward while wiping their tears and said, "Ah Heng, Zi Rui, be obedient and stop crying! Although there is no wedding ceremony today, it is Ah Heng's coming of age day, which is a good thing. You can't cry like this."
But Feng Yuheng couldn't listen, and couldn't hold back her tears. She had lost her mother and father recently, and she had always been feeling angry. Now she saw so many relatives, and she was wearing a wedding gown. The time, place, and scene were special. Once she started crying, she couldn't hold back her tears, and simply hugged her three aunts and cried together.
Xuan Tianming took two steps back and spread his hands helplessly. It was easy to coax his wife alone, but with so many people around, he was really helpless!
