Chapter 217 Thank you for saving me
Xiao Baozhu squeezed to the front throughout the whole process, her eyes fixed on the other person's face.
Her face was heavily made up. In the past, Xiao Baozhu would definitely not have recognized her.
But because she knew about this in advance, Xiao Baozhu looked carefully and immediately recognized the subtle difference.
Their eyes look different, and their expressions are completely different. Her eyes reveal affectation and shrewd calculation at first glance!
This person is indeed Xing Chuying!
Xiao Baozhu stared at her with a fierce look in her eyes. If the situation did not allow it, she would have rushed up immediately and exposed the woman's true face.
Xing Chuying didn't know yet that she was exposed because of her hands.
When the veil was lifted, her eyes lit up and she saw an extraordinarily handsome face.
Instantly, her heart skipped a beat.
On that day in the palace, she felt that Prince An was extraordinarily handsome. Now, seeing him up close, he looked like a banished immortal. Her breathing became disordered and her eyes became infatuated as she looked at him.
Such a handsome man should be her husband. How could a vulgar man like Xing Chuxue be worthy of him?
Xiao Yanheng lowered his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him. There was a gentle smile on his lips from beginning to end, but his eyes were slightly deeper.
The bridesmaid smiled and said something flattering, "Your Highness and Princess are truly a match made in heaven."
Xing Chuying lowered her head shyly, and her earlobes turned red unconsciously.
The next step is to drink the wedding wine, and the ceremony is considered complete.
The maid poured two glasses of wine and brought them to Xiao Yanheng and Xing Chuying.
The two of them picked up their glasses and were about to finish the ceremony when Xiao Yanheng suddenly choked and the wine in the glass spilled all over the floor. Xing Chuying's skirt and embroidered shoes were also wet, and the maid hurried forward to wipe them.
Xiao Yanheng covered his lips and coughed, his eyes inadvertently falling on the pair of exquisite embroidered shoes.
His cheeks flushed from coughing, and he looked like the fairy boy sitting under Guanyin, adding a bit of charm.
How many people can resist a man with such appearance?
Xing Chuying stood up and wanted to pat him on the back, but Xiao Baozhu took the lead and helped him over.
"Fifth brother, how are you? You're not in good health and shouldn't drink. Put down your glass quickly. It's too stuffy in here. Go outside and get some fresh air first."
Xiao Yanheng continued to cough and could not even speak, so he was dragged out of the bridal chamber by Xiao Baozhu.
Xing Chuying was dumbfounded, and the bridesmaid and the others were also stunned on the spot.
The groom has left, how can we drink the wedding wine?
Xing Chuying's face was covered with a cloud, looking very ugly.
What's going on with Xiao Baozhu? Aren't she and Xing Chuxue close friends? Why is she so tactless as to disrupt things?
If the wedding wine is not drunk, the ceremony will not be considered complete, and her title as princess will not be legitimate. Xing Chuying always has a feeling of uncertainty.
The bridesmaid smiled apologetically, "Princess, what do you think we should do now?"
The word "Princess" finally made Xing Chuying feel better again.
It's just a cup of wedding wine, it doesn't matter. At worst, I can drink this cup of wine with him again before the bridal chamber.
Xing Chuying smiled gently, "The prince's health is of paramount importance, so let's put this wedding wine on hold for now. You've all worked hard, so go and relax. You don't need to wait on me anymore."
After saying this, he signaled to the people around him to give each person a red envelope, and the matchmaker and others happily left.
Only when they reached the outside of the bridal chamber did Xiao Yanheng slowly stop coughing, but a blush still hung on his face. When his sister Xiao Baozhu saw this, she couldn't help but praise him as a truly stunning beauty.
Xiao Baozhu let him go and gave him a wry smile, "Fifth brother, everything will be fine once you come out. It turns out that the bridal chamber is too stuffy."
Xiao Yanheng's eyes swept over her face and he hummed softly.
"Well, Fifth Brother, you can go in later. Get some fresh air outside first."
Xiao Yanheng nodded, "You are absolutely right."
He looked at Xiao Baozhu again and said, "You've lost a lot of weight. Have you fully recovered?"
They were not close siblings. After Xiao Baozhu was injured, he did not visit her, but only sent someone to deliver nourishing herbs.
This kind of close but not distant interaction was the norm for them, and Xiao Baozhu didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Xiao Baozhu pinched her face and laughed, "Okay, okay, I'm as strong as a bull now. Everyone says I've lost weight, so my injury wasn't in vain."
Xiao Yanheng disagreed. "You were fine in the past. Now you're too thin. Take good care of yourself and make up for the lost energy."
Xiao Baozhu's eyes widened. "Fifth Brother, why are you saying exactly the same thing as Father?"
Xiao Yanheng said seriously, "This proves that what we said is correct. Just listen carefully."
Xiao Baozhu nodded honestly.
She loves to eat anyway, so she won't make things difficult for herself.
The two siblings chatted a lot, which was a rare occasion, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Xiao Yanheng did not leave until a servant came to tell him to go to the front to entertain the guests.
After leaving the backyard, Xiao Yanheng immediately called his confidant and whispered something to him.
At this moment, his face was solemn, and there was even a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Xiao Baozhu watched Xiao Yanheng go to the front yard and breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as he doesn't enter the bridal chamber, Xing Chuying won't be able to have any relationship with the fifth prince, and there's still room for things to turn around.
She would not go anywhere tonight and would stay in front of the bridal chamber, determined not to let that scheming woman defile her fifth brother.
Xiao Baozhu raised her leg to leave, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a person standing in the corridor in front of her, looking at her.
"Who's there?"
The man paused noticeably, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly walked out from the shadows.
When Xiao Baozhu saw the person in front of her clearly, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"Sun Muzhi? You, why are you here too?"
The situation was critical that day, and Xiao Baozhu didn't have time to look at him carefully. But now that he was standing in front of her, Xiao Baozhu suddenly felt a sense of oppression.
The man in front of him was tall and straight, wearing a dark brocade robe, which made his height, legs, broad shoulders and narrow waist stand out even more, making him very eye-catching.
His facial features were very three-dimensional, as if they were chiseled by a knife or an axe, with sharp edges and corners. His eyes were very dark, and when he was silent, he looked a little gloomy.
It was completely different from the crying pink ball in Xiao Baozhu's memory.
He bowed to Xiao Baozhu and said, "I greet the Ninth Princess. Today is Prince An's wedding, and I have come to celebrate."
Xiao Baozhu cried out, "Why are you being polite? Hurry up and get up. Aren't you still injured?"
Sun Muzhi said slowly, "I am a commoner with thick skin and flesh. The wound on my body has healed."
He has had an extraordinary physique since he was a child. Not only is he strong, but his recovery speed is also amazing.
Combined with the tiger gall he took that day, his wounds healed even faster. Now, as long as he didn't do strenuous exercise, he was no different from an ordinary person.
"I haven't had the chance to thank you yet. Thank you for saving me that day."
Xiao Baozhu spoke sincerely, and her eyes were filled with sincerity and earnestness when she looked at him.
Sun Muzhi looked her straight in the eye and said in a calm voice, "Protecting the princess is what a commoner should do."
