Chapter 384 End
Xiao Yechen brought all his assets to propose marriage, and his family background was much richer than the Xiao family had imagined.
In addition to the rewards he received for his military achievements, he also owned many shops and farms.
Although these things added together are far less than what the Xiao family has, they are enough for Xiao Qinghe to live a life of luxury.
Xiao Yechen used all his wealth to propose marriage with full sincerity. Mrs. Xiao and Xiao's father had no objection and just let Xiao Qinghe make the decision herself.
Today, when proposing marriage, Xiao Yechen wore a royal blue brocade robe embroidered with flounders, and his black hair was tied up with a jade crown. He looked full of vigor and spirit, and even his eyebrows were flying.
It is spring and flowers are blooming. Standing in the garden full of flowers, Xiao Yechen has lost his usual aloofness and looks more noble and elegant.
Seeing Xiao Qinghe, he was still a little nervous, but he immediately smiled: "Sister He'er."
Xiao Qinghe followed with a narrowed gaze: "I heard that brother used all his wealth to ask for my hand in marriage today. Have you made up your mind?"
"I don't have anything to think about. If I can marry Sister He'er, it will be the blessing of my life," Xiao Yechen answered without hesitation, and then asked tentatively, "Sister He'er, do you think there is anything wrong with me?"
Xiao Qinghe shook his head: "No, you are a very good person and you are very good to me. I have nothing to complain about."
Hearing this answer, Xiao Yechen breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard Xiao Qinghe say, "The last wedding of the Wei and Xiao families was very grand. This time, I don't want to be too extravagant. I just want to invite some close relatives and friends to attend the ceremony."
"Okay, I don't have many relatives anyway, as long as sister He'er is happy."
"Although Wei Lingze is dead, after you and I get married, it's inevitable that people will compare you two. If you hear any gossip, don't keep it in your heart and sulk. Communicate with me immediately."
"Of course," Xiao Yechen nodded. "Don't worry, Sister He'er, I won't listen to other people's nonsense."
"One last thing. No matter what kind of disagreement we have in the future, you must not fight me. If there's ever a time..."
"If there ever comes a time when Sister He'er can divorce me, I will cripple my own hands to make amends to Sister He'er and the Xiao family."
Xiao Yechen directly interrupted Xiao Qinghe to make a promise.
Xiao Qinghe paused and replied softly, "Okay."
Xiao Qinghe and Xiao Yechen's wedding was scheduled for three months later. According to Xiao Qinghe's idea, the wedding banquet would be quite simple. Apart from the Xiao family, only some people who had a good relationship with her would attend.
Although the wedding banquet was not grand, everyone who came to the banquet came to bless them sincerely.
After the wedding ceremony, Xiao Qinghe was sent to the bridal chamber.
Xiao Yechen was forced to drink by Xiao Qingyang and Xiao Qingyun.
"He'er is the most precious young lady in our Xiao family. If you dare treat her badly after marriage, I will be the first one to not forgive you!"
"Yes, the last person who treated He'er badly has had countless weeds growing on his grave. If you dare to follow his path, I'll scatter your ashes!"
Each of them spoke a word, and although it was a threat or warning, behind it was full of love and care for their sister.
Xiao Yechen nodded in agreement and said solemnly: "Don't worry, big brother and second brother, I will definitely treat He'er well. If I can't do it, I won't let myself go even if you don't have to do it."
Father Xiao and Mrs. Xiao also gave Xiao Yechen a lot of instructions.
The banquet ended late at night.
The steward brought a gift: "This is from a young man. He said he is an old friend of the general."
The gift was placed in a small box. When it was opened, it was a stack of silver bills. A quick glance showed that there were at least several thousand taels of silver.
Xiao Yechen frowned slightly and asked, "Where are the others?"
"I don't know what he looks like because he was wearing a mask. After checking, I confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the box and the banknotes. I wanted to invite him to the mansion for a banquet, but he just had a glass of wedding wine and left. Do you want me to send someone to look for him?"
Xiao Yechen shook his head: "No need, since he has drunk the wedding wine, that's enough."
His face should not appear in Hanjing.
Xiao Yechen put away the banknotes and continued walking forward. After a few steps, the steward couldn't help but remind him: "General, you've gone the wrong way. That's the guest room. The left is the way to the main courtyard."
"That's right," Xiao Yechen shook his head and told the steward, "Ask the kitchen to bring hot water and hangover soup to the guest room. I smell too much of alcohol and need to clean myself before seeing the Madam."
"ah?"
Doesn't the groom smell of alcohol? The general cares too much about his wife.
The steward was startled. Xiao Yechen glanced at him and said, "Why, didn't you hear clearly?"
The steward quickly lowered his head and said respectfully, "I understand. I'll go right away."
After drinking the sobering soup, rinsing his mouth carefully, and changing into spare clean wedding clothes, Xiao Yechen walked towards the bridal chamber.
In the bridal chamber, Xiao Qinghe sat quietly in her phoenix wedding gown.
Xiao Yechen waved away the matchmaker and the servants, took two deep breaths, and then lifted the veil with a wedding call.
Under the veil, Xiao Qinghe had delicate makeup, a radiant face, and was breathtakingly beautiful.
Xiao Yechen's breathing stagnated and he almost couldn't hold Xicheng.
He really... married the eldest daughter!
Seeing Xiao Yechen's face filled with astonishment and a somewhat infatuated gaze, Xiao Qinghe couldn't help but smile: "I heard from Quezhi that my husband was forced to drink quite a bit of wine during the banquet, so how come there's no smell of alcohol on him?"
Xiao Qinghe took the initiative to speak. Xiao Yechen had just come back to his senses when he was again numb by the word "husband". He quickly said, "I was afraid of disturbing my wife, so I took a bath before coming."
Xiao Qinghe was a little nervous at first, but after hearing these words, he was moved and relaxed.
Different.
This time she will be pampered and won't be hurt again.
After the matchmaker was driven out, Xiao Qinghe guided Xiao Yechen through the next steps. After drinking the wedding wine, Xiao Yechen habitually asked, "What else do we need to do next?"
“…”
Xiao Qinghe choked, and after a moment, he glanced at Xiao Yechen and said, "Turn off the lights."
"oh."
Xiao Yechen obediently turned off the lights, and the room immediately fell into darkness. Soon, Xiao Qinghe felt Xiao Yechen sitting next to her.
Xiao Yechen's breathing became noticeably heavier, and Xiao Qinghe's heart, which had just relaxed, unconsciously became tense again.
A moment later, she heard Xiao Yechen ask, "Sister He'er, can I hold your hand?"
"……Um."
Xiao Yechen's palm was burning hot, as if it was on fire, and Xiao Qinghe's fingertips were slightly curled up due to the heat.
Feeling her reaction, Xiao Yechen immediately let go of her hand and said, "Sister He'er, if you're not ready yet, I can sleep in the guest room tonight."
Xiao Yechen was about to leave after he finished speaking, and Xiao Qinghe subconsciously reached out and grabbed the hem of his clothes.
She has already decided to marry him, so what else does she need to prepare?
Xiao Qinghe didn't use much strength, but this gesture of retaining him was like a spark that instantly ignited Xiao Yechen.
He quickly turned around, not giving himself or Xiao Qinghe a chance to react, and kissed her passionately.
He kissed her very hard, as if he wanted to pour out all the feelings that had been buried deep in his heart for so many years to Xiao Qinghe, but he was also very restrained, without the slightest bit of recklessness or eagerness.
Xiao Qinghe was so breathless from the kiss that she heard Xiao Yechen ask in a daze, "Madam, is this okay?"
“…”
Xiao Qinghe didn't say anything and took the initiative to climb onto Xiao Yechen's neck.
It was like touching some kind of mechanism, and the whole night became hot.
Exhausted, Xiao Qinghe couldn't help but think that her aunt and the princess were right, Xiao Yechen was indeed... very reserved.
(Originally, I had a long sequel prepared, but when I wrote it down recently, I realized that the plot wasn't very exciting. In addition, I have a lot of things to do in real life, and I feel too stressed. So I decided to end it here and come back to see everyone after I prepare the new book~
The relationship between the princess and her husband is a pair of arrogant enemies. The husband has long lowered his posture. The two have a child, so their relationship will be very stable. However, the husband is too handsome, so the princess may face a mid-life emotional crisis. If she chases the husband, with the help of the child, things will soon become sweet.
Thank you very much for your love and support for this book and me. I wish you all a happy holiday. I will also take a long vacation to read and gain energy~)
