Chapter 187 Extra: Zhou Yi x Nangong Muyan (End)

It was a sunny day when Zhou Yi and Nangong Muyan got married.

The eight-lifted sedan chair set out from the Prime Minister's Mansion, passed through the bustling streets, and entered the Zhou family with music and dance all the way.

The Prime Minister married his daughter, and half of the people in the capital came to watch the excitement.

"Oh! What a grand occasion!"

"How can the daughter of Prime Minister Nangong get married in a shabby way? Not to mention that this is a marriage granted by His

Majesty!" The people looked at the wedding procession with emotion.

According to the etiquette of Daliang, if the bride's family has brothers, the brothers will escort the bride to the groom's house. On the one hand, it shows that the bride's family values ​​the girl being married, and on the other hand, it also tells the groom that the bride has a backer. If the bride has no brothers,

the groom needs to go to the house to pick her up in person.

Without a doubt, Nangong Muyan's situation belongs to the first type.

At the moment, walking in the front of the team is Nangong Chenfeng, who is riding a tall horse.

In order to support Nangong Muyan, Nangong Chenfeng specially changed into a military uniform and found his friends in Beijing to form an eighteen-man cavalry team.

The white-robed general led eighteen strong men to lead the way to send the bride. The big red flower sedan chair was stable, and behind the sedan chair followed a long team of red-made women. It was a long and magnificent team. How spectacular it was!

The onlookers had not seen such a grand scene for a long time. They were all talking about it with red faces, as if this happy event had happened to their own family.

"By the way, who is the groom?" Someone in the crowd asked curiously.

Someone immediately answered: "I heard it was a businessman."

"What? The Prime Minister's daughter married a businessman? Are you kidding?"

People who didn't know the truth were all surprised to hear this.

"Yes, he is a businessman, his surname is Zhou, his family is quite rich, and Junyue Restaurant is his."

"No matter how rich they are, they are not a good match!" Someone shouted: "Miss Nangong can be the queen, why does she want to marry a businessman? What is Prime Minister Nangong thinking..."

"Who knows this? We ordinary people just need to have fun watching the masters' affairs, why bother so much..."

Nangong Muyan, who was sitting in the sedan chair, heard these words, and bit off a large piece of the apple in her hand with a "crack", chewing it viciously, as if venting her dissatisfaction.

A bunch of short-sighted people who have no idea how good Zhou Yi is.

Nangong Muyan thought angrily, reaching out to touch the white jade bracelet on her wrist, and took another bite of the apple.

When the sedan chair stopped in front of the Zhou family's gate and the matchmaker happily reached her hand into the sedan chair, Nangong Muyan suddenly remembered that the apple could not be eaten. It was placed on the altar along with the Ruyi prepared by the man's family, symbolizing peace and happiness.

Nangong Chenfeng turned over and got off the horse, walked to stand beside Nangong Ya and Luo Siyi. After the couple saw Nangong Muyan off at the Prime Minister's Mansion, they were picked up by the carriage arranged by the Zhou family from another road, ready to be worshipped by the newlyweds on their knees in the altar.

Zhou's father and mother stood on the other side of the gate. The gate was crowded with guests, including Zhou's business friends and Nangong Ya's colleagues in the court.

The Zhou family had a large business and extensive network of contacts. When those shrewd businessmen heard that Zhou Yi had married the daughter of the prime minister, they all swarmed in, no matter how they had schemed against each other in the past or whether they had ever torn their faces apart. Anyway, the Zhou family would not drive them away on such a happy day.

As for Nangong Ya, he was the prime minister, and there were many people who flattered him on weekdays. When he wanted to marry his daughter, those officials would naturally come to show their support.

So the officials and businessmen were able to get together for this wedding. But both sides looked down on each other. Merchants thought officials were noble, while officials thought merchants were not presentable. Both sides stood on their own sides, neither of them standing close to the other. Fortunately, the Zhou family's house was big enough. When

the sedan chair arrived at the house, the front door was already surrounded by three layers of people inside and outside. The groom Zhou Yi stood in the middle. A pair of eyes had already looked him up and down, some probing, some despising, and some envious and jealous, but he didn't care at all, just focusing on the sedan chair. The

sedan chair landed safely and happily.

Ruyi had already been placed on the square mahogany table, waiting for the apple in the bride's hand.

The matchmaker stretched out her hand for a long time, but when she saw no movement in the sedan chair, she thought the bride was just shy. She had seen this kind of situation many times before, so she smiled and coaxed, "Bride, give me the apple in your hand."

Nangong Muyan didn't expect that she would have trouble getting married after all the hard work, but there was nothing she could do. She gritted her teeth, picked up the apple core that she had chewed clean, and handed it out.

An apple core... can also be considered an apple, right?

In full view of the crowd, nearly a hundred pairs of eyes watched the matchmaker take over a small apple core, and the originally noisy crowd was silent for a moment.

Zhou Yi understood what was going on at a glance, and immediately laughed out loud regardless of the occasion.

The matchmaker was a person who had seen many big occasions. After a moment of shock, she smiled and put the apple core on the mahogany table held by the maid, and placed it together with the extremely fine jade ruyi, singing loudly: "Eat the apple, and you will be safe and harmonious!"

Zhou Yi and Nangong Muyan thought at the same time: I have to give this person more money!

The maid walked in with "peace and happiness". Zhou Yi followed the instructions and stepped forward to kick the flower curtain twice, and then a piece of red satin was stuffed into his hand. There was a big red flower in the middle of the satin, and the other end was in Nangong Muyan's hand.

The crowd of people hugged the newlyweds to the place of worship. The parents of both parties had already sat on the high hall, watching the two red figures walk step by step, with smiles on their faces. Especially Hong Yuanping and Luo Siyi, both of them had tears in their eyes.

Just when the two stood still and Zhibin took a breath and was about to shout "Bow to Heaven and Earth", a sharp voice rang out: "The Emperor has arrived! Princess Hening has arrived!" The

emperor came in person, and everyone in the courtyard knelt facing the gate.

Several sturdy guards with swords walked in with Yuwen Yan in casual clothes. Jiang Ning lagged behind him two steps and walked side by side with Liu Mingan.

"No need to be polite!" Yuwen Yan spoke loudly, and after everyone stood up, he laughed: "I am here to ask for a glass of wedding wine today, so don't be too picky."

Although he said so, Yuwen Yan, an emperor, was standing here, and except for those old-fashioned ministers, everyone else was trembling with fear.

Nangong Muyan couldn't see clearly because of the veil on her head. She could only feel a familiar gaze on her.

It was Jiang Ning.

Did she come here to see her get married?

Nangong Muyan smiled silently. This person was becoming more and more humane.

Worship heaven and earth, worship parents, husband and wife worship each other, enter the bridal chamber...

Nangong Muyan followed the instructions and movements of the guest of honor, and completed the whole process of worshipping and getting married. After a long time of tossing and turning, she finally sat on the wedding bed.

Zhou Yi gave away the reward money and invited everyone in the room to leave. When he turned around, he found that his bride had already opened the veil by herself and was sitting at the table peeling longans.

"Are you hungry?"

Zhou Yi sat down next to Nangong Muyan, peeled the longans with her, and then put the flesh to her mouth.

"A little bit, I'm still very sleepy. I got up early this morning and didn't sleep in the morning."

Nangong Muyan chewed something in her mouth and answered vaguely, sounding like she was complaining.

Zhou Yi chuckled softly, stood up and walked behind her, helped her take off the phoenix crown on her head, and took off the hairpin and earrings: "I'll have someone cook something for you later, you can sleep after you finish eating."

"Okay," Nangong Muyan agreed, knowing that Zhou Yi, as the groom, had to go out to entertain guests and would not be back until the night, so she reminded him worriedly: "You should drink less."

"Don't worry, I will pretend to be drunk."

After Zhou Yi said this, he stood up and wanted to leave, but suddenly realized that someone was pulling the corner of his clothes. He looked at Nangong Muyan in confusion. The person licked his lips and stared at him with a bright smile.

"Zhou Yi, kiss me first before you leave."

The coquettish tone was like a little claw that pricked Zhou Yi's heart. How could he say "no"? Without any hesitation, he leaned down and kissed Nangong Muyan on the lips.

The faint sweetness of longan spread between their lips and teeth. Zhou Yi demanded it with full concentration, and Nangong Muyan responded enthusiastically. They were inseparable until the matchmaker's voice came from outside the room urging: "Groom, it's time to come out to entertain the guests. There is plenty of time in the evening."

Zhou Yi reluctantly regained his senses, bit the lips that were approaching him unwillingly, and soothed him in a soft voice: "All is up to you tonight!"

The matchmaker was about to knock on the door, but the door was opened from the inside, and the groom walked out, calling a maid beside her and ordered: "Send some food to the young lady."

"Yes." The maid responded and walked towards the kitchen.

Zhou Yi moved to the front hall. As soon as he appeared, someone spotted him and shouted with a smile: "The groom is here!"

Yuwen Yan had already left, but Jiang Ning and Liu Ming'an were still there. Seeing the people holding wine glasses and walking towards Zhou Yi, Jiang Ning smiled and stood up to block them behind her: "Come on, I'll drink with you!"

Zhou Yi was so moved that he wanted to cry. His sister-in-law was so loyal!

After this day, everyone in the court knew that Princess Hening was a huge drinker who could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. She fought against the crowd and drank all the people who wanted to toast the prime minister's son-in-law without even blushing.

The eighteen strong men that Nangong Chenfeng brought were specially selected by him from the troops stationed outside the capital. All of them could drink, and their original intention was to stop the wine for his brother-in-law.

Unexpectedly, his former third sister stepped forward and volunteered to take over the matter.

Nangong Chenfeng looked at Jiang Ning, then at Nangong Ya, frowned, and felt that there were many things he couldn't understand.

He knew that Jiang Ning had killed someone on the day when Yuwen Jin forced her to abdicate, and had made a contribution, and was named a princess, but he just couldn't figure it out. Where did his cowardly third sister get this ability?

And why was she given the title of "commoner girl Jiang Ning"? Why did she have so much to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion?

After returning home, Nangong Chenfeng also asked Nangong Ya these questions. At that time, his father was silent for a long time, with an unspeakable sadness on his face. He only told him that there would no longer be such a person as Nangong Ling in the world. Nangong

Chenfeng couldn't bear Nangong Ya's look. He later asked Luo Siyi, but Luo Siyi was also very secretive and refused to tell him a word.

He had been away from home for three years, and this family must have been turned upside down.

Nangong Chenfeng couldn't say that he liked Nangong Ling, nor did he say that he hated her. It should be said that he never had this third sister in his eyes. Since he couldn't get to the bottom of it, he simply didn't ask. Anyway, in his heart, he only cared about their family of four, and Nangong Ling was just an outsider with a blood relationship with him.

Now that this insignificant third sister has become an unattainable princess, Nangong Chenfeng smiled and then walked towards her with a glass of wine.

After all, they are brother and sister, so they should drink a few cups.

"Your Highness, Princess, I toast you!"

Nangong Chenfeng said lightly, picking up the wine cup and drinking it all.

Jiang Ning looked at the only child of Nangong Ya. Although he didn't know what he was thinking, he still followed him to drink a cup, saying some high-sounding words: "Major General is loyal to the country and protects the stability of our Daliang country. It is my turn to toast you."

The banquet dispersed at dusk. Because Jiang Ning was fighting one against a hundred, Zhou Yi, as the groom, did not drink a drop of wine throughout the whole banquet.

When he returned to the bridal chamber, Nangong Muyan had already woken up from a nap and was playing a two-person opera with her head covered on her fingers out of boredom.

"Zhou Yi!"

As soon as Zhou Yi closed the door, a person squeezed into his arms. Then his lips felt hot. The person licked his lips for a few times and immediately withdrew. The speed was so fast that he didn't have time to do anything.

"You didn't drink?" Nangong Muyan was a little surprised.

It turned out that she kissed him for this reason. Zhou Yi suddenly felt awkward in his heart. He picked her up and put her on the bed. He pressed her down and kissed her firmly before answering: "No, I didn't drink a drop of alcohol. My sister-in-law blocked all the drinks."

"You are quite sensible!" Nangong Muyan narrowed her eyes, very relieved.

"Yes, my sister-in-law is kind and sensible, so you must never bully her again in the future!"

"Then can I bully you?"

"Sure, I like being bullied by you..."

Zhou Yi stripped the woman naked with ease, and then he also took off all his clothes, pressed the woman on himself, and spent a long night of love.

When the lovemaking was over, Zhou Yi remembered that they still had one thing to do.

"Mu Yan, we seem to have forgotten to drink the wedding wine."

Zhou Yi hugged his soft body and looked at the wedding wine on the table, feeling a little amused.

He met a beautiful woman throwing herself into his arms as soon as he entered the room, and was eagerly seduced into bed. How could he think of other things?

"Oh, it seems like you should drink it, but I can't drink alcohol because I'm pregnant. Go ahead and drink it. Then kiss me and I'll drink it."

A lazy tone sounded in his chest. Zhou Yi was distracted and carefully pushed the person up: "I don't think you have to drink this wine."

"Hmm?" Nangong Muyan didn't understand. Wasn't he the one who asked for a drink first?

Zhou Yi lifted Nangong Muyan's chin, pressed his soft lips against hers and murmured, "A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold..."

"Okay, come!"

Dragon and phoenix candles were burning in the room. The candlelight was bright, illuminating the room with fragrance.

...

After May.

With two crisp cries of a baby, Zhou Yi and Nangong Muyan became the parents of a pair of baby girls.

Nangong Muyan was exhausted from giving birth, but when she saw the two children, she couldn't help but burst into tears. Those two little balls were her and Zhou Yi's children!

Zhou Yi squatted beside the bed, holding her hand, and gently wiped her tears: "Mu Yan, thank you!"

Nangong Mu Yan looked at Zhou Yi and cried even harder.

She had a lover and a child in this world. She was so lucky to have all of this.
