wedding day
Seeing that the official remained silent, Feng Chenyu looked up and pleaded,
"Your Majesty said before that he would give me a reward. Now I ask for a marriage between me and Shangguan Fuyao."
In the Dali Temple prison, Han Qing arrived with the emperor's edict.
When Fuyao heard him say that His Majesty had granted her and Feng Chenyu a marriage and that the wedding would be completed in three days, she felt that everything seemed unreal, like a dream.
Feng Chenyu looked at her haggard face and picked her up distressedly.
"I'll take you home."
As soon as the car stopped in front of the general's mansion, Feng Chenyu stood up and prepared to pick her up again.
"I can do it myself."
Fu Yao, who had just been nestled in his arms, spoke shyly.
"oh."
He responded softly, and the two of them got off the carriage one after the other.
Feng Chenyu walked slowly back and forth in the corridor. Fuyao was taking a shower in the house, while he was waiting outside the door.
He suddenly remembered the scene of Fuyao standing by the river under the moonlight when he went to Ningbei, and the corners of his lips curled up.
He thought that he and Fuyao would never have any intersection in this life, but he didn't expect that they were even engaged. His heart gradually warmed up.
This was the first time since his family members left that he felt his life had color and promise.
Just as he was thinking, the door behind him opened and Fuyao, who had finished washing up, walked out.
"I asked someone to prepare lunch, let's go eat something first."
Feng Chenyu lowered his head and looked at her gently.
"Feng Chenyu."
Fuyao shouted hurriedly when she saw him turn around.
He looked back in confusion, with doubt in his eyes.
"I want to know, what will happen to Li Ju?"
She spoke hesitantly.
"He is a simple man with a kind nature. I don't think he would be involved in treason."
Feng Chenyu stepped forward and carefully held her arms, comforting her,
"The government has always been benevolent. If he truly wasn't involved, he shouldn't be punished with death."
Fuyao nodded.
After dinner, Feng Chenyu accompanied her to Liu's house.
As soon as she entered the room, Fuyao saw Ling Fengwan sitting in the hall with a big belly.
"elder sister."
Her eyes suddenly turned red.
"fool."
The Liu family already knew about the marriage granted by His Majesty.
"I."
Fuyao stood there, hesitant to speak.
Ling Fengwan of course knew why she was like that, so she stood up and came to her to comfort her.
"If my uncle really did something he shouldn't have done, he should be punished.
As for Juer, I believe the government will handle the matter impartially.
And you don't need to feel ashamed, your engagement was forced upon you.
Regarding you and Deputy Feng Shu, we sincerely wish you all the best."
Hearing her say this, Fuyao could no longer hold back her tears.
Feng Chenyu, who was watching from the side, felt very distressed. He hurried forward and gently held her hands.
Looking at this scene, Ling Fengwan was not surprised at all.
Because as early as the last palace banquet, she had already noticed that Feng Chenyu treated Fuyao differently.
"Fuyao, you're getting married soon.
If you don't mind, the Liu Mansion can be your parents' home and you can get married from here.
Besides, your father-in-law is already preparing your dowry."
Ling Fengwan looked at this girl who had just turned 15, and couldn't help but think of herself who lost her mother early and was not liked by her father.
She understood the feeling of being isolated and helpless, and after being caught in the rain herself, she always wanted to hold an umbrella for those who felt the same way.
"Of course not. I'm grateful enough. I'm sorry to bother you all."
As he spoke, Fuyao's eyes turned red again.
After leaving Liu Mansion, Feng Chenyu took Fuyao to the palace again.
Sitting on the couch, Concubine Feng looked at Fuyao quietly. Although she had thought about marrying a noble lady to her nephew before, she never paid attention to it.
Now that he is begging His Majesty to grant him a marriage, I think he really likes her.
In that case, I have nothing to be dissatisfied with.
"Are you used to living in Yu'an?"
She spoke kindly.
"I'm back to being a noble concubine, and I'm used to living here."
Fuyao looked up.
"Let me see which woman can catch my cousin's eye."
A woman's voice came from outside the door. It must be Princess Jinru.
"Fuyao greets Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Fuyao bowed his head.
Jin Ru quickly stepped forward to help her up, and looked at the girl in front of her with a pair of sparkling eyes, and couldn't help but sigh,
"I suddenly understood what 美目盼兮 meant.
I heard you are also very good at martial arts, you are definitely the kind of woman Chen Yu would like."
"Shame is just superficial."
Fuyao said modestly.
After leaving the palace, Feng Chenyu looked at Fuyao beside him lovingly in the carriage.
"Tired?"
"A little."
She replied softly.
"That moment..."
"Send me back to Liu Mansion."
Before he could finish his words, Fuyao expressed his thoughts.
"good.
Just rest more and don't think about anything.
I will come to your house in two days."
Feng Chenyu warned.
"Um."
Meeting his burning gaze, Fuyao's cheeks felt hot.
Everyone in the Liu Mansion was busy with Fuyao's marriage.
Madam Ling and Qiu'er asked her to try on wedding clothes and hair accessories, which made Fuyao feel even more guilty.
Ling Fengwan smiled when she saw this.
“The Liu family has already treated you as a family member, so don’t feel like it’s a bother for us.
Even if you get married in the future, this will still be your family home. If you are wronged, remember to come back to us."
"Thank you, sister."
Fuyao looked at Ling Fengwan in the mirror with gratitude, her eyes slightly red.
“What’s going on?
Tomorrow is your big day, so be happy."
Ling Fengwan held her hand.
"Deputy Feng Shu is here."
The housekeeper came in and said something.
"Go and see your husband!"
Ling Fengwan joked.
Fuyao blushed again with shyness.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Feng Chenyu and his people bringing a lot of things, big and small, including gold and silver jewelry, silk clothes, official silver ingots, etc.
"What's this, Deputy Chief?"
Ling Fengwan raised her eyebrows deliberately.
"This is the betrothal gift for Fuyao. Since the Liu Mansion is her family home, I will naturally send the betrothal gift here."
Feng Chenyu smiled.
Ling Fengwan looked back at Fuyao behind her and smiled softly.
"Then you guys chat, I'll take people to count the betrothal gifts first!"
Seeing her suddenly raise her eyebrows at him, Fuyao couldn't help but feel a heat in his ears.
Feng Chenyu walked towards her with slow steps.
"Did you have a good rest these past two days?"
His eyes were so gentle that they seemed to be about to squeeze out water.
"Um."
Fuyao nodded and looked at the ground shyly.
"That's good.
Get some rest tonight, as tomorrow's wedding will be quite tiring."
Feng Chenyu instructed patiently.
"Um."
His deep and magnetic voice rang in her ears, and Fuyao's heart was in turmoil when she thought of the wedding tomorrow.
The two chatted for a while, asking and answering each other.
At that time, Madam Ling came towards the two of them.
"Deputy Feng Shu, if you have nothing else, please go back.
According to custom, we will be getting married tomorrow, so it is inappropriate for us to meet again today."
"good."
Feng Chenyu replied in a good-tempered manner, then turned to look at Fuyao again.
"See you tomorrow then."
Fuyao nodded, and he reluctantly led everyone away.
As soon as the sky got light, the Liu Mansion became lively.
The kitchen and the living room were bustling with activity.
Looking at everyone busying around, Fuyao suddenly thought of Madam Tong. Her biggest regret before her death was that she could not see her get married.
Mother, my daughter is getting married today. I will definitely live a good life in the days to come.
If you know what is happening in the underworld, you can rest in peace now.
After lunch, in the side room, Ling Fengwan helped Fuyao, who was wearing her wedding dress, comb her hair while reminding her,
"Qiu'er will go with you to the General's Mansion. It will be easier to have someone familiar to take care of you.
If there is something that is inconvenient for you, ask her to come back and tell us.
The Liu family will definitely stand up for you!"
"elder sister."
Fuyao's eyebrows and eyes turned slightly red.
"Well, today is your big day, so you must be happy."
Ling Fengwan hurriedly tried to persuade him.
In the general's residence, Feng Chenyu, who had already put on his wedding attire, stood in front of the mourning hall with a slightly gloomy look in his eyes.
"Dad, Mom, today is my wedding day.
Her name is Shangguan Fuyao, the daughter of Uncle Shangguan.
She is beautiful, intelligent, kind, just, and has great martial arts skills.
If you could see her, you would like her."
There was a hint of orange in the evening sky, and the wedding procession was beating gongs and drums along the way, which was very lively.
Feng Chenyu was seen wearing a scarlet silk robe, a large belt, white silk socks and black leather shoes, a Jinxian crown on his head, riding a big horse, walking in the middle of the crowd.
Soon the team arrived at Liu's house, and the groom walked in surrounded by a group of people.
After paying his respects to Minister Liu and others, Feng Chenyu saw Fuyao slowly walking out of the boudoir.
She wore a long-sleeved dress, a phoenix robe, and her belt, knee-guard, shoes and socks were all blue. The collar, cuffs and hem were trimmed with red cloud and dragon patterns, and she wore a red veil on her head.
Afterwards, the two of them walked towards each other holding hands, holding a love knot made of red and green satin.
After leaving Liu's house, Fuyao got into the bridal sedan with the help of the matchmaker and Qiu'er.
Feng Chenyu, who was riding a horse in front, looked back at the sedan chair from time to time. At this moment, he seemed to feel that it was not so real.
When we arrived at the general's residence, everyone was already waiting there.
The bride was helped out of the sedan chair, and the ground was covered with green cloth.
She stepped on the green cloth covered with grains and beans, crossed the saddle, and then walked into the main hall with Feng Chenyu holding the heart knot to perform the worship ceremony.
Finally, the two of them entered the bridal chamber and sat on the bed facing each other.
Feng Chenyu held the weighing rod in his hand and gently lifted the red veil with the end of the rod.
At this moment, Fuyao lowered her eyes, and a blush appeared visibly on her face. This pitiful expression made Feng Chenyu feel itchy in his heart.
The ceremonial officer held a plate filled with dates, chestnuts, etc. and threw the contents of the plate into the tent inside the room.
Then he cut a little bit of each of their hair and combed them together.
Qiu'er brought two glasses of wine and gave one to each of the newlyweds. They both picked up the glasses at the same time and crossed their arms.
As their eyes met, they slowly drank the wine.
Fuyao couldn't hold her liquor well, so she only took a symbolic sip.
Amidst laughter and cheers, everyone else left the room.
Fuyao stood stiffly in the middle of the bedroom, Feng Chenyu looked down at her lovingly.
"Aren't you tired?"
"A little."
She nodded.
"Then you sit down and rest for a while, I'll go out and socialize."
Feng Chenyu raised his hand and pointed at the bed. He could see that she was uncomfortable.
Seeing him leave the room, Fuyao finally slumped down on the bed in relaxation.
Although she and Feng Chenyu had known each other for some time, they had been to Ningbei together and even spent the night in the same house.
But it seems that the situation now is very different from before, when she thinks of the words Ling Fengwan told her about the relationship between husband and wife before she got into the sedan chair today.
Although she seemed to understand it, her face would immediately turn red whenever she thought about it.
