Chapter 356 - Assassination Caused a Stir on the Weddings (2/2)
Thinking of how stunning the handsome man would look in the wedding robe, who was nearly devilish, she couldn’t help smiling shyly. At this moment, she really felt that she was going to marry him. From today on, she had him in her life, while he had her in his life, and they were intertwined. Her heart pounded…
The wedding music rang and it was time for the couple to perform the three bows!
They were sent into the bridal chamber.
Inside the bridal chamber, Mo Xuetong was placed in front of the bed. At some point, Feng Yuran lifted her bridal veil and sat in the east. As expected, today, he was incomparably handsome. His dark pupils were s.h.i.+ny and lively. When he slightly moved them, he looked enormously charming. Some misses and ladies who came to see the bride couldn’t help feeling enchanted by him and looked at the handsome youth in front of them, nearly stupefied.
King Xuan deserved to be called incomparably handsome. No wonder so many people secretly admired King Xuan. Though he had the reputation of being rakish, still, some b.u.t.tered his family up and tried to marry their daughters into King Xuan’s Manor.
The audience couldn’t help fixing their gazes at the bride, who was sitting on the bed with a red face and lowered head and looking as stunning as a flower. She had that face that could even topple a country. When the two sat together, people thought them infinitely harmonious, suitable, a perfect match both in heaven and on earth.
The eyes of some misses and maidens, who set their hearts on Feng Yuran, immediately dimmed. Before such a face, how many of them could be positive about their success?
“The bride is so beautiful!”
“Now you’re talking. The pair of the bride’s s.h.i.+ny eyes can’t be more charming!”
“She really gets more and more beautiful. Just in a month, Princess Anping has grown into such an outstanding beauty.”
Some bold ladies flattered. “Pretty. When she’s with King Xuan, they’re a perfect match, like immortals descending to the world!” These words made Feng Yuran unable to conceal the smile by the corner of his eyes. Hearing people praised Mo Xuetong as being pretty, he felt like they were talking about him. He proudly raised his head with a gloating look, completely different from his usual arrogant and complacent face. His gaze fell on Mo Xuetong’s face as tender as water. Obviously, he was extremely satisfied with his bride.
Seeing King Xuan’s satisfaction, the ladies flattered more enthusiastically.
After nearly one hour of merrily talking and joking, those ladies and misses gradually dispersed because they didn’t dare to bother them any longer. That was how the imperial wedding proceeded. Just a slightly stirred-up atmosphere should be enough, and they shouldn’t horse around without any rules. Furthermore, Feng Yuran was still in a poor physical condition.
A maidservant walked up carrying a gold-and-silver-rimmed wooden tray, on which gold, silver, and some miscellaneous nuts were placed. The matron of honor grabbed some of them and scattered them on the bed, saying, “Scatter them in the east of the bed. Behind the curtains of the bridal bed, the candle lights flicker, auspicious aura grows thick and never disperse, spring breeze blows through the fancy room every day…”
After the matron of honor scattered the things on the bed and served the wedlock wine to them, she left with the others.
The door was gently shut. Mo Xuetong suddenly grew nervous. At that time, she didn’t even dare to breathe normally. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw him wearing a red gold-rimmed robe, which had been the first time that he had worn a red robe. The red and glowing color put a touch of blush on his slightly pale face, making him look even more devilishly charming. When he glanced at her sideways with his handsome and long eyes, he looked extremely enchanting.
He had been hurt, so he didn’t need to toast her.
A gentle and deep voice rang from the bedside. A big hand reached over to lift the ta.s.sels all over the head and the man smilingly said, “Tong’er, you should remove your accessories first. You must’ve been tired wearing them!”
With all those luxurious accessories, she was really wearing something very heavy on her. After all this while, she already felt dizzy and extremely uncomfortable with them above her head. Now that he said that, she immediately looked up with her watery eyes and blinked them, asking gently, “Can I?”
Her looking dazed amused him. Feng Yuran couldn’t help lifting the corner of his lips. He said with a smile and was going to reach out to take it off for her. “Sure you can. As long as it’ll make you comfortable.”
He was pushed away by her with her hand. She said, both cutely and foolishly, “I want a shower!”
After saying that, she realized she was saying that to a man. Her pink face instantly blushed and she stuttered to explain herself. “I don’t know where the shower room is!”
Looking at her blus.h.i.+ng face with a touch of fl.u.s.ter from embarra.s.sment, Feng Yuran found it really funny. However, he also knew she was thin-skinned, so he didn’t make fun of her any longer.
Mo Lan and other maidservants guarded at the door. Hearing her call, they walked in, helped her take off the headdress and the fancy robe, and took her into the shower room at the right side. After walking in, they found it was a pool made out of white jade, with warm water already filling half of the pool. The two serving maidservants told them the pool was connected with a hot spring outside. If the water got cold, they could refill the pool at any time.
Cold water came out of the tap made out of white jade, while hot water came out of the tap made out of green jade.
Mo Yu blinked her s.h.i.+ny eyes and exclaimed. “Miss, His Highness is really rich. He should have this kind of pool. It’s so beautiful.”
Mo Lan smiled and helped Mo Xuetong take the white jade stairs down into the pool. The water temperature was just right, neither too hot nor cold, making people feel really comfortable. “Alright. I’ll help you get into it first. You’ve really been startled today.”
Sitting in the pool and feeling the warm water brus.h.i.+ng against her skin, Mo Xuetong comfortably exhaled. Closing her eyes, she seemed to see the scene where she set off on the bridal sedan chair through a kaleidoscope. She couldn’t help faintly smiling and felt warmth inexplicably welling up inside her. With the surging feeling, she felt kind of tipsy!
For the first time, she didn’t need to focus on saving herself out of trouble. It turned out that it felt so good to have a man protecting her!
She didn’t need to fight for anything, and someone was already caring for her! It seemed that during her two lives, it was the first time that she had felt warmth so soft and gentle, which was just like water.
