Chapter 321 (1/2)

The matriarch sat back down helplessly, but her heart began to sway terribly. She snuck a look at the person officiating the wedding, Xuan Tian Qi, and saw that he acted as though he had not seen anything. He continued to stand there without looking away, and a festive smile remained on his face. Thus she consoled herself, repeatedly saying to herself: Learn from him a little more. Learn from him a little more.

At this time, the reaction from the people outside developed even further, as a young miss from who knew which family shouted: “Is that county princess Ji An? What is she wearing?”

Upon hearing that Feng Yu Heng had arrived, the matriarch could not help but feel her heart tighten. Feng Yu Heng had not arrived for the entire morning, so she always felt that something would happen, and now something had happened.

With the matriarch speculating and the people outside discussing, a young girl in pink entered the room from the door on the right side. Everyone stared at her clothes and felt as though the pink of the dress made it look as though it had been covered by flower petals in Summer. It was lifelike and dazzling, but it did not cause feelings of envy. There was not a single crease in the fabric. Not only were there no creases, even with the snow falling, it did not leave a single mark. This caused people to feel that it was like something that floated among the clouds, like fog or smoke, and that it had come from some mystical place.

This sort of dazzling sight had completely stolen away the bride’s glory. The people that had been concentrating on Kang Yi’s moon palace silk veil immediately focused their attention over.

Everyone was dazed. After a long time, someone said: “Those clothes… are made of refined cloud silk? Gu Mo’s refined cloud silk?”

Someone that was familiar with these things began to analyze: “Not just that. Look at the flowers sewn onto the fabric. They clearly do not look to have been sewn on, as they appear to have truly bloomed from the dress. In this heavy snowfall, it looks very delicate. To be able to achieve this effect, this is… moon palace silk was taken apart, and the threads were used to embroider them!”

Gasp!

Everyone inhaled sharply. Taking apart moon palace silk for is thread was perhaps something that even the imperial palace’s imperial concubines could not do.

“Have you seen the gauze at her waist? If I have not made a mistake, that should be Gu Shu’s national treasure, heavenly silk.”

“Using refined cloud silk to make the clothes, moon palace silk for the embroidery, and heavenly silk as a decoration, speaking from that angle, all that’s missing is commoner’s brocade?”

“Idiot, although commoner’s brocade comes in many shades of red, the most beautiful and most expensive is the bright red type that is used when making wedding clothes. Apparently, Gu Shu struggles to make even one bolt of this bright red commoner’s brocade every ten years. Once it is completed and made into a wedding dress, it will give off a feeling of a phoenix being reborn from fire. It is sufficient to cause everyone in the world to applaud.”

The people went back and forth with their discussion, as everyone’s attention was gathered on this set of clothes. They had completely forgotten that they had come to observe the wedding ceremony. Not to mention the surprise of the females, even the men could not help but steal a couple sideways glances at this wondrous thing.

Feng Jin Yuan glared at the owner of these clothes, his second daughter, Feng Yu Heng. His gaze contained a piercing cold and extreme hatred. He absolutely did not think that Feng Yu Heng would actually wear this sort of clothes. What sort of face would he have left?

After a little time had passed, the eldest prince, Xuan Tian Qi, raised his voice and shouted from inside the hall: “It is an auspicious time. Would the bride and bridegroom enter the hall!”

Only then did everyone recall the day’s main event, as they all retracted their gazes from Feng Yu Heng. They then continued to cheer for Feng Jin Yuan.

Feng Yu Heng also bowed to her father, as she watched the two hold hands and enter the hall.

Very quickly, the sounds of the marriage ceremony began to pick up. Feng Jin Yuan and Kang Yi performed their three obeisances, kowtowing nine times. Finally, they had formally become husband and wife, and the heavy snow then came to a sudden stop.

With the snow stopping, the banquet began. The Feng family’s children gathered together and stood in the yard. It truly was a charming scene.

The fifth prince’s gaze never left Fen Dai because he never recovered from the events that took place on the first day of the year. He was also unable to come to the Feng manor to visit Fen Dai. He wanted to go speak with Fen Dai, but he was helpless, as the other princes continued to speak to him. He was left to simply worry, as he could not leave.

Not long later, Feng Jin Yuan returned to the front yard to take care of guests. The people that came to the manor today were all important guests. Not only had five princes come, some people from the vassal states also came to send gifts; however, only the special envoy from Gu Mo had personally come to the manor.

As for the other countries, Qian Zhou’s Kang Yi was the female lead, so she naturally did not count. Zong Sui’s Li Kun and Feng Jin Yuan were not on friendly terms, so he simply left the capital before this wedding. As for the prince from Gu Shu, he was sent away a few days prior in order to avoid any problems because he had proposed a marriage with Kang Yi.

With the beginning of the banquet, many rules were done away with. Some madams and young misses felt that Feng Yu Heng’s clothes were truly beautiful, and they got a little closer to get a better look. Feng Yu Heng talked to them while saying to Xiang Rong: “Elder sister also gave you a set of refined cloud silk clothes? Why did you not wear them out?”

Xiang Rong twisted her handkerchief and said: “I was reluctant to. I wanted… I wanted to save it for a later time.”
