After Gu Hui Yan left, both the guest and the servant girls in the room couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Without Yan Wang, the ladies and madams speak more freely, and the number of people who come to tease the bride Lin Wei Xi had suddenly increased.
The six ceremonies had been completed, and Lin Wei Xi had become Yan Wangfei from now on. Although she was still a bride, the current situation did not give Lin Wei Xi time to be bashful. Lin Wei Xi made a little adjustment and tried to adapt to this situation. She got up from the bed, the smile on her face was just right, shy and generous to greet the madams. If nothing else, these madams would be Lin Wei Xi's main social circle in the future. She appeared as Yan Wangfei for the first time, she couldn't be looked down upon.
The only thing Lin Wei Xi could be proud of in her previous life was probably her noble lady character. Lin Wei Xi stood up generously to entertain the guests. Even when she was teased, she only smiled shyly, and did not show any narrow-minded or anger attitude of small family. These madams secretly evaluated in their hearts, and their smile towards Lin Wei Xi became more eager.
Those imperial clan boys have long since disappeared. Didn't know if they went out by themselves or were sent away by Yan Wang's people. Only these pampered ladies and madams were left. Where could they be noisy. Everyone laughed a few times. After seeing Lin Wei Xi's bashful manner that they were expecting, they all said goodbye one after another and went to the banquet outside.
Today was Lin Wei Xi's grand wedding. According to custom, it was unlucky to meet the husband's mother on this day. Although it was common for new daughter-in-law to enter the door and avoid the mother-in-law, the situation in Yan Wang Mansion was reversed. Lin Wei Xi, first was the new bride, and second was the stepmother-in-law. Regardless social custom or social ranking there was no reason for Lin Wei Xi to avoid Gao Ran. So Lin Wei Xi was doing business as usual here, but Gao Ran had to hide in her room all day, unable to come out and provoke Lin Wei Xi.
The gongs and drums were noisy outside, but Gao Ran had to sullenly hide in the house alone. She also must had grateful and willing attitude, so not to disrespect her mother-in-law. The taste of this, afraid only Gao Ran herself who know.
Lin Wei Xi was also very happy that Gao Ran this slut would not appear on her big day. In her previous life, she had to endure Gao Ran dangling in front of her when she got married. Not only that, she had to act affectionate with Gao Ran as a sister, don't mention how disgusting it was. However, only a year later, Lin Wei Xi was able to legitimately made Gao Ran avoid her, and even better, in the future she could in the name of family principle "teach" Gao Ran to conduct herself. It's a pleasure to even think about it.
There were no outsiders in the room, Wan Yue walked to Lin Wei Xi and asked in a low voice, "Miss, do you want to remove the phoenix crown?"
Lin Wei Xi nodded, she had long wanted to take this beautiful burden off her head, didn't expect that the Wangfei's phoenix crown was so much heavier than the Shizi Consort's one. Lin Wei Xi sat down in front of the dressing table, and Wan Yue came over to carefully remove the phoenix crown. While giving Wan Yue an assistance, Wan Xing bumped into Wan Yue's elbow joyfully, winking and said: "What miss, it's time to call Wangfei!"
Lin Wei Xi saw the people's interaction from the mirror, and gave them an angry look. Wan Xing was not afraid, and still smiled and removed the complicated hairpin ring on Lin Wei Xi's head, and carefully and quickly put it into the jewelry box.
After loosen up her hair, Lin Wei Xi was very relieved. Getting married was really a physical job, not to mention her physical strength was not very good. Wan Yue was talking with Lin Wei Xi, suddenly a granny walked in from outside, carrying a tray with her hand and bowed towards Lin Wei Xi, "Wangfei, the sober soup you ordered."
Lin Wei Xi was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at Wan Xing and Wan Yue: "When did you order for sobering soup?"
Wan Yue was also stunned: "This slave hasn't gone to the kitchen to request it."
The kitchen granny was also surprised: "Didn't Wangfei tell Commander Gu to let the kitchen heat up the soup?"
Gu Mingda? Everyone in the room was at a loss, but Lin Wei Xi had a flash of inspiration at once understood. She coughed awkwardly, and said quickly: "I asked someone to order it, put it down. You have worked hard today. Wan Xing."
Wan Xing understood, and went ahead to give her a reward. Today, who were serving in Wangfei's bridal room were rewarded money. The granny originally thought that she would not be happy in the kitchen, but who knew she would get her fortune out of thin air. The granny secretly squeezed her purse, and smiled more and more joyously: "Thanking Wangfei! This servant wish Wangfei and Wangye grow old together and give birth to a noble son. This servant's mouth is clumsy and can only say these things. Please Wangfei don't dislike."
Lin Wei Xi smiled, and Wan Xing jokingly sent the granny out. After people left, Wan Yue asked strangely: "Miss, when did you ask the kitchen to prepare the soup, or did you let Commander Gu say it?"
Lin Wei Xi also didn't expect that Gu Hui Yan who usually aloof would even notice this kind of detail. She got choked while drinking the nuptial wine. Gu Hui Yan thought that Lin Wei Xi was not used to drinking wine, so Gu Mingda went to the kitchen to prepare hot soup. Lin Wei Xi smiled awkwardly, and quickly changed the subject: "It's late, I'm not sure when Yan Wang will be back. Go inside and check the hot water. I'm going to take a bath."
As expected, Wan Yue obediently went to the bathing room to let the water out. Lin Wei Xi quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Taking advantage of this gap, she also heard from her dowry maid the reason for Gu Hui Yan's early departure. It turned out there was a reward from the palace. The emperor felt regret that he could not attend the wedding of Uncle Yan Wang in person, so he sent Grand Protector Feng to attend the feast to send a generous gift on his behalf. The emperor specially gave Yan Wang a wedding gift, and when Empress Dowager heard about it, she also prepared a gift for Grand Protector Feng to bring it together.
Gu Hui Yan went out just now to meet Grand Protector Feng. Not only that, First Assistant Zhang was also in the mansion today, and the three auxiliary ministers appointed by the previous emperor personally gathered together today.
At the end of his life, Emperor Mu Zong was alone, he appointed Yan Wang Gu Hui Yan, First Assistant Zhang Xiao Lian and Superintendent Eunuch Feng Cheng together as auxiliary ministers of the country to assist the young emperor. Gu Hui Yan was the imperial clan Qinwang, who hold the military power, and no one in the army was out of his grasp. Zhang Xiao Lian was the First Assistant of the cabinet and the main pillar of the court. Feng Cheng was the eunuch and the chief of the factory guard.
The member of imperial clan, the civil official, and the palace eunuch, the three forces checked and balanced each other. It could be seen that although Emperor Mu Zong was muddle-headed with Bu Guifei's matter, he was very clear when it came to his own country. When Lin Wei Xi heard this she felt it was very magical, First Assistant Zhang, His Highness Yan Wang, and Superintendent Eunuch Feng, which one of these three people was not above tens of thousands people. They had only existed in national events and legends. But now, these three mythological figures were actually stepping on the same land as her, and one of them was even her husband.
Lin Wei Xi thought for a while, shook her head and no longer want to remember. This level of meeting was too far away from her, she could not understand, and it's not her turn to care. She shouldn't worry about it.
Lin Wei Xi removed her makeup and took a bath. After she came out, she put on perfume and took care of her hair. She waited for a long time while tossing and turning, but still did not see Gu Hui Yan coming back. Later, she almost fell asleep leaning on the bedpost. Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps and greetings outside the door, and Lin Wei Xi awakened with a start.
Through the screen, a tall and straight figure slowly walked towards the inner room.
TN: The next chapter title is wedding candles, are you excited? are you excited? Well don't be too excited!
Now recalled herself as a little girl.
Lin Wei Xi lowered her head, so she didn't see Gu Hui Yan coughing slightly with his head tilted, and clenched his fist to block the smile on his lips. When Lin Wei Xi admonished people before, she was full of excitement, bold and confident. She even dared to mercilessly scold Zhao Wangfei. Such a cute aggrieved looks was rare. Gu Hui Yan's irritable mood unconsciously swept away. It seemed that the problem of a weak ruler with strong court and the problem of court disputes at this moment were far away from him. All he had to face was this awkward little girl.
Gu Hui Yan unconsciously smiled and waved at Lin Wei Xi, motioning her to sit down. After Lin Wei Xi sat down, he said, "You can rest assured that since I promised you, I won't break my promise. What you were like in Yan Wang Mansion before, just continue in the future."
Lin Wei Xi sat on the chair, half-believing, "You mean it?"
"Of course."
Yan Wang promised this to her face. That was very considerate and generous. But Lin Wei Xi didn't know why she was unhappy. She secretly said, "You are so tolerant and generous. If in a few days another woman comes to beg you, will you accept it? I think it will not take long before Yan Wang Mansion will become a charity hall."
Gu Hui Yan calmly smiled, and his tone was almost casual: "After all, I promised your father to take care of you, what better care than staying in Yan Wang Mansion?"
Lin Wei Xi's inexplicable anger suddenly dispersed. She knew that Yan Wang was definitely not a good-tempered person. If you dare to be mean to him, then be ready to lose everything.
Lin Wei Xi sulky sat for a while and found that Gu Hui Yan peacefully doing his own thing, completely ignoring her. Lin Wei Xi suddenly felt stupid. At that time she braved the rain to see Yan Wang and said the boldest words in her two lifetimes, it was not to sit sulky here and be angry with Yan Wang and repeat the mistakes of her previous life. After Lin Wei Xi realized it, she quickly tried to find a way out: "Your Highness, I'm sorry, I'm not dissatisfied with you, but..." She racked her brains to think about her words, "In any case right now I am Yan Wangfei, if in the future you take back a woman, I know I have no position to be dissatisfied, but, my face after all..."
Before Lin Wei Xi finished speaking, she was suddenly interrupted, the other party's voice was determined and firm: "No."
Lin Wei Xi was stunned. Gu Hui Yan thought that Lin Wei Xi hadn't heard clearly, so he repeated: "There won't be the next one. There are very few people in the world who I owed a favor. The person who can make me promise the Wangfei position is only you."
Lin Wei Xi's heart suddenly missed a few beats: "What do you mean..."
"I promised Lin Yong to protect you well. Since you don't trust other people and don't want to marry someone else's house, it's okay to stay in the mansion forever. Just be yourself and don't have too much burden."
Lin Wei Xi didn't know what answer she wanted to hear, but she knew that after hearing these words, her heart sank extremely quickly. Yan Wang accepted her unreasonable request and promised to marry her as his wife, only because of kindness.
To put it bluntly, Gu Hui Yan did not care if there was a Wangfei, or who was the Wangfei. Since Lin Wei Xi asked for it like this, Gu Hui Yan thought about it and found it acceptable, so it was all right to follow her wish. The root of all this lies in Lin Yong's life-saving grace.
Lin Wei Xi was a little frustrated. She didn't know why she was frustrated. According to reason this situation was much better than she expected. She very well knew how terrible a husband's silent treatment was. Now she would not harmed in the slightest. Yan Wang willing to have mutual respect as husband and wife with her, each would mind their own business. This was actually a really ideal situation for a couple to get along. In a big influential family, if there were such couples, everyone would praised them as a happy couple.
Lin Wei Xi lowered her gaze, and said in a low voice: "Wangye is right. As long as you give me a face of the primary wife, I will do my best to take care of the housework for you. From now on, Yan Wang mansion will be one with me, I will definitely become a qualified mistress and will not let you down."
Gu Hui Yan looked at Lin Wei Xi, and couldn't help reaching out to touch Lin Wei Xi's hair: "Why do you look depressed? What's wrong?"
Lin Wei Xi openly slapped Gu Hui Yan's hand, her face still cold and serious: "Wangye, I am your primary wife, you must respect me."
Gu Hui Yan really couldn't hold back, he actually laughed: "Why are you like a child, speak with bad temper."
Lin Wei Xi's anger rushed to the top of her head, she had to forcibly held it back again: "I am not a child. Don't always look at me like a child."
Gu Hui Yan leaned on the armrest with one hand, with a small smile, there was only Lin Wei Xi's shadow in his eyes: "Then what do you think?"
"In two months, I will have my seventeenth birthday. You should treat me like a woman."
Gu Hui Yan's eyes slightly imperceptibly changed, he glanced to the side, for no reason it gave people a very dangerous feeling. Lin Wei Xi subconsciously followed his gaze and found that his sight stayed at a pair of dragon and phoenix joy candles. Because it was burned for a long time, the red candles had burned halfway, and the tears of the candles piled up into small hills.
Lin Wei Xi's face unconsciously blushed, and before she could say anything to smooth things over, she felt her body lighten and rose into the air.
Suddenly feeling weightless, Lin Wei Xi subconsciously climbed onto the shoulders of the person in front of her. Yan Wang had been in the army for many years, his shoulders were much thicker than those of the arrogant man in the capital. Even with two layers of clothes, she could feel his slender and strong arms. The heat that passed through the clothes of the two of them, slowly and unavoidably spread to Lin Wei Xi's waist and legs.
Lin Wei Xi finally understood that Yan Wangfei, in addition to taking charge of the inner household and managing social interactions outside, also represented what.
