Yan Jinqiu felt that the movement of lifting the veil was too fast, so much so that his eyes were a bit blurry.
The room was deathly silent. Eunuch Mutong, who was following behind Yan Jinqiu, saw that no one in the room made a sound. He was so scared that he didn't dare to breathe loudly, nor did he dare to look in the direction of Jun Wang Fei. Jun Wang Fei could actually frighten the people in the room to this extent. He didn't know what kind of noble appearance she had.
After a long while, the matron of honor found her voice. She smiled as she took the wedding scale from Yan Jinqiu's hand. Her voice was still trembling as she said, "Congratulations to Jun Wang Ye. Congratulations to Jun Wang Ye for obtaining such a lovely wife. I wish Jun Wang Ye and Jun Wang Fei to grow old together and have many children and grandchildren. " She had been the matron of honor at many noble and aristocratic weddings, but she had never seen such a beautiful bride. At first glance, she was like a fairy in a painting. This made the heart of this middle-aged woman couldn't help but jump a few times.
Mutong heard that the matron of honor's tone wasn't quite right, so he secretly glanced at Jun Wang Ye who was standing to the left in front of him. However, he could only see Jun Wang Ye's smiling side profile. He couldn't guess whether he was happy or disappointed in his heart. So Mutong could only lower his head. When he did this, he happened to see the red embroidered shoes on Jun Wang Fei's feet. The shoes were embroidered with dragons and phoenixes playing with pearls. The pearls were inlaid with high-quality pearls. The workmanship was very exquisite, and it even set off this pair of feet to be particularly beautiful.
Just as the room was still silent, a sound of footsteps came from outside the door. Yan Jinqiu looked at the half-closed door, and took a step to the left without a trace, blocking Hua Xi Wan behind him.
"Today is Prince Xian's big day. It would be boring if ben gong didn't come to see the excitement." Princess Duan He was wearing a luxurious dress embroidered with phoenixes. She hadn't even entered the door, but her low laughter could already be heard. When she entered the door with several servant girls, she glanced at the bed and only saw the bride's bright red dress. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile, "You can't bear to let us see?"
Then she reached out and grabbed Princess Minhye, who came in with her. Princess Duan He patted Princess Minhye's hand with a smile. "Look at Prince Xian. He has just come in and he is already feeling sorry for his bride."
Princess Minhye was an unmarried girl. Although she was dragged here by Princess Duan He to join in the fun, she was still embarrassed to speak casually in this kind of situation.
"Imperial Sister is joking." Yan Jinqiu smiled faintly as he bowed to Princess Duan He. "My wife is shy, and is embarrassed to see so many people."
Princess Duan He smiled. She did not make a move to insist on seeing the bride's appearance. Instead, she considerately took a step to the side and stood in a corner where Hua Xi Wan could not be seen. "Since this is the case, I will not disturb your rest." Her tone was calm as though she was just fulfilling her duty as an older cousin and had no other intentions.
In this kind of situation, she naturally saw that Yan Jinqiu was unwilling to let the bride see others. Therefore, she understood the rumors outside. After a few more words, she took Princess Minhye out of the bridal room. When they left the zhengyuan and there was no one around, the smile on her face gradually faded.
Glancing indifferently at the dazed Princess Minhye beside her, Princess Duan He's tone was faint. "Now that Prince Xian has a wang fei, the next thing is your marriage."
Princess Minhye forced a smile at Princess Duan He and said, "I know."
Princess Duan He nodded and did not speak further. Thinking back to Prince Xian's actions just now, her eyes showed satisfaction.
Princess Duan He came and left. Hua Xi Wan could faintly guess that Princess Duan He did not want Yan Jinqiu to marry Jun Wang Fei, who was to his liking. She was the only daughter of the current Emperor. Her status was high. Naturally, she wanted the next Emperor to be her own brother, and not some cousin.
This Princess Duan He's thoughts were clever. She purposely brought an unmarried junzhu here. Although she did not say anything, it made people feel that this junzhu and Prince Xian had something going on, or that this junzhu had some feelings for Yan Jinqiu.
The husband and wife had not even started to develop feelings for each other, and someone had already made a knot between them. How could their feelings be good in the future? Moreover, if she, as the bride, had an inferiority complex because of her appearance, with this rumored beautiful and virtuous Princess Minhye as a reference, wouldn't she feel even more inferior in the future?
However, Princess Duan He's actions could not be found wrong. After all, making a scene in the bridal room was a joyous thing for men and women of the same generation. If she thought too much, it was because she was not broad-minded enough. Could she blame others?
People of the Imperial Family were people of the Imperial Family. They could throw out hidden weapons while talking and laughing. It really was a good method to kill without spilling blood. Hua Xi Wan slowly raised an eyebrow. She smiled lightly at Yan Jinqiu and said in a low voice, "I've let Wang Ye see a joke."
Mutong, who was standing at the side with his head bowed, thought inside, Jun Wang Fei's voice was very pleasant to hear. It was soft and gentle, but it did not make people feel dispirited. It made people feel sweet when they heard it. It could be seen that the heavens were fair. Even if they did not give Jun Wang Fei a good appearance, they gave Wang Fei a heavenly voice.
Seeing this, the matron of honor and the other Imperial womenfolk all expressed their intention to leave and go to the front hall to join in the fun.
"Many thanks to the elders for helping to arrange today. Junior Zi Ling is endlessly grateful." Yan Jinqiu bowed towards the Imperial womenfolk. "My wife is timid, please be tolerant."
"Xian Junw.a.n.g is too polite. It is normal for newlyweds to be thin-skinned. As the husband, you should dote on her more." The womenfolk present could hear that Xian Junw.a.n.g hoped that they would not speak of today's events. They had accompanied Xian Junw.a.n.g to the bridal chamber today because they were close to Xian Junw.a.n.g Fu and naturally would not be meddlesome. So the old imperial concubine at the front said, "We old women will not disturb you.
After the people in the bridal room left, Yan Jinqiu personally picked up the two cups of wine on the table. He smiled as he walked to sit next to Hua Xi Wan. "Xi Wan, today is our wedding day. You cannot not drink this cup of wine."
Warm and white fingers carelessly brushed across the back of his hand. Then she took the wine cup from his hand. That beautiful hand made the red jade wine cup look extremely beautiful.
Under the candlelight, that exquisite face caused Yan Jinqiu, who was used to seeing all kinds of beauties, to be stunned. In an instant, he was suspicious. How could there be such a beauty in the world?
Their arms intertwined, and they drank the wine in each other's hands. Yan Jinqiu took the empty wine cup and said to Mutong, who was standing at the side with his head bowed, "Remove the wine table and change it to something more digestible."
"Yes." Mutong bowed and took the two empty wine cups from Yan Jinqiu's hands. In the blink of an eye, he saw Jun Wang Fei's exposed wrist. He thought to himself, "Her skin is as white as snow. It's a pity that she's not a beauty."
When Bai Xia and the others saw that Wang Ye's people had gone to prepare the meal, they exchanged glances with each other. Then they bowed to the two of them and retreated to guard the door.
"Wang Ye." After the servants in the room left, Hua Xi Wan pointed to her phoenix coronet and said, "Can you help me take this off? It's too heavy. My neck hurts from the pressure."
The phoenix coronet was made of pure gold. It was in the style of a flying phoenix holding a pearl. Although the workmanship was very exquisite, it was still heavy.
"Are you going to take the hairpin here?" Yan Jinqiu took out the hairpin that held the coronet and gently took off the heavy phoenix coronet and put it aside. Then he helped Hua Xi Wan massage her neck in an extremely natural manner, helping her relax her muscles and bones. "It's really quite heavy."
Because she had taken off the phoenix coronet and hairpin, her black hair fell to her waist. When Yan Jinqiu touched the soft hair with the back of his hand, he couldn't help but touch it a few more times. He felt that even the best silk in the fu couldn't compare to this head of black hair.
Although the two of them were husband and wife, they were strangers meeting for the first time. Yan Jinqiu saw that Hua Xi Wan was sitting quietly beside him and said, "In the future, we don't have to be too polite. You can just call me Jinqiu."
Hua Xi Wan raised her head to look at the person beside her. He was only about twenty years old. His appearance was indeed outstanding. The corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and there was a hint of peach blossom. However, his words and actions revealed a kind of considerate aura. She smiled faintly and said, "Da Qiu is a mountain, and a mountain is also called Ling. Wang Ye's name is very good."
The two's eyes met in the air, and then they both smiled. Yan Jinqiu said, "A name is just a code."
"Wang Ye is right." Hua Xi Wan smiled and didn't continue the topic. She lowered her head to take off the bracelets on her wrist and the jade pouch at her waist. These things were quite large when taken off.
"Jun Wang Ye, Jun Wang Fei, the food is ready." After Mutong said outside the door, he paused for a moment before bringing in the prepared food.
"It's already night. Eating anything else will cause indigestion. You didn't eat much today. Eat these to fill your stomach." Yan Jinqiu got up and took Hua Xi Wan's hand to sit down at the table.
"Junw.a.n.g Ye, Junw.a.n.g Fei, because the people in the kitchen do not know Junw.a.n.g Fei's tastes, they made two for each taste." Mu Tong said after introducing the different tastes of the dishes. "Junw.a.n.g Fei, if you have anything you like to eat or use, just order this one. This one will definitely have the servants make it properly."
Hua Xi Wan pulled the corners of her mouth and turned to say to Yan Jinqiu, "The people around Jinqiu are very thoughtful." These words sounded like he was expressing his loyalty to her, but in reality, he was telling her that he was the one in charge of this fu.
Without Yan Jinqiu's permission, this eunuch called Mutong didn't have the guts to say this. It seemed that Yan Jinqiu had hinted before?
"In the future, if anyone in the fu doesn't listen to you, just beat them out." Yan Jinqiu brought the fragrant meat porridge in front of Hua Xi Wan and said carelessly, "Now that Jun Wang fu has you as the mistress, it can finally be called a home."
Hua Xi Wan took the porridge, smiled, and didn't comment.
On the side, Mu Tong was a little surprised. Did Wang Ye's words mean that he had changed his mind? He stole a glance and felt his legs go soft. He couldn't catch his breath and almost knelt on the ground.
Where was the rumored unsalted woman who didn't dare to go out because of her frightening appearance? Who was this peerless beauty?
Mu Tong felt that his entire person was not good because he felt that he did not dare to look at Junw.a.n.g Fei even more. It was because her appearance was too … … attractive.
