That night, Han Yunxi spent the entire night in the study. Fortunately, the weather wasn't too cold, so she could still endure it. When she woke up the next morning, Long Fei Ye was no longer in the bedroom.
He wouldn't go back on his word about that matter, right? He didn't seem to have given her a direct answer last night. Han Yunxi became uneasy and hurriedly rushed out.
Unexpectedly, Long Feiye was drinking tea in the garden outside when he saw her rush out with a flustered expression. Her clothes were in a mess, her hair disheveled, and she wasn't even wearing shoes. He was disgusted and said unhappily, "I'll give you an hour. Clean yourself up before coming out!"
"Yes, I promise I won't embarrass Your Highness." Han Yunxi smiled very flatteringly and hurriedly closed the door.
An hour was enough for her to soak in the hot spring for a while.
However, Han Yunxi quickly discovered that she was too optimistic. The hairstyle of the ancient people was very complicated. She didn't know how to do it, so it took her a long time to loosen yesterday's bun. Helpless, she could only comb her hair into a Korean princess hairstyle and pull out her bangs.
She wanted to find some hair accessories, but unfortunately, the dowry jewelry was inferior. Han Yunxi was very clear that if she wore this kind of thing outside, not only would she embarrass herself, but she would also embarrass the Duke of Qin's Manor. Forget it. In any case, she couldn't wear it well, so she might as well not wear it.
Han Yunxi practically opened the door right on time. She was wearing a very drooping ice blue one-piece dress, which made her white skin look even more radiant. Her simple hairstyle and clothes were very compatible. Although she didn't have any expensive jewelry to add color, she looked elegant and refined, causing people's eyes to light up.
A beauty didn't need any extra decorations. Simple was the most beautiful.
"I've finished tidying up. Your Highness, please check." Han Yunxi was in a good mood.
Long Fei Ye looked at her for a long time. Then, without saying a word, he got up and left.
"Stingy guy, will it kill you to say something?" Han Yunxi muttered to herself as she quickened her steps to catch up. She didn't know that Long Feiye never looked at a woman for more than three seconds.
Long Fei Ye walked in front while Han Yunxi followed behind. She consciously kept a distance of one step from him. When she came in yesterday, she was wearing a bridal veil and did not see clearly. Only now did she realize that this Hibiscus Courtyard was filled with flowers and plants, artificial streams, and bamboo groves. It was quiet and elegant, like a place of seclusion.
They didn't see any servants on the way until they reached the gates of the courtyard. Finally, they saw an old mama who was dressed as one of Grand Concubine Yi's personal attendants.
The old mama was clearly surprised to see Long Fei Ye. After a moment of surprise, she hurriedly bowed in greeting. "This old servant greets Your Highness Duke of Qin."
Long Fei Ye ignored her and kept walking forward. Han Yunxi might have the title of wangfei, but she didn't expect anyone to pay her respects. She copied Long Fei Ye and walked out as if there was no one around.
But the old mama stopped her, her voice stiff. "Esteemed wangfei, as usual, the grand imperial concubine has to inspect the scarlet handkerchief and send it to the palace for esteemed empress dowager to examine."
A scarlet handkerchief was something used to check if the bride was a virgin on the wedding night. Not every girl's first night would be scarlet. How many innocent girls had been killed by this thing?!
If Han Yunxi couldn't hand it over, she'd either have to admit that she was alone on the wedding night or that she wasn't a virgin.
The former would make her a laughingstock and lose all face. The latter was a capital offense that would implicate the entire Han Family.
As soon as she entered the palace, each step was as deep as the sea. Each step was filled with danger. It was only the first morning of her marriage, but she was already in trouble.
She didn't even sleep on the bed last night, so where did the scarlet handkerchief come from?
"Esteemed wangfei, please hand the item over to this old servant," the old mama urged.
Seeing Long Fei Ye's unmoved back, Han Yunxi felt conflicted. Either way, it was troublesome. Fine, she'd throw caution to the wind!
Thus, she lowered her head and feigned shyness. "Your Highness, the item is with you, right?"
