Chapter 312 Good luck on the eighth day of the seventh lunar month! It's time to get married!
Si Qi bowed down respectfully and solemnly promised:
"My slave must put the wishes of the young lady first in everything. I will never act on my own without the young lady's order."
Seeing her sincerity, Chu Yunxi stepped forward and pulled her up.
"I know you have suffered a lot, and I know you are unwilling to do so, but don't try to beat an egg against a stone. I promise you that one day, the truth will be revealed to the world."
Si Qi's tense emotions finally cracked at this moment. She couldn't control her tears and had to lower her head.
She knew that her own strength was too weak, so she made up her mind to follow her benefactor's arrangement, stay with Chu Yunxi, and assist her, until she saw the day when the Sikong family was cleared of their grievances and her parents' efforts were not in vain.
Now, she knew she was with the right person and had more hope, so how could she be unhappy.
Chu Yunxi patted Si Qi's hand to comfort her.
Once, she was so isolated and helpless, but it was Jun Lingyun who gave her hope. Now, let her give Si Qi hope.
"Miss."
Before Xiaolian entered the door, a cheerful voice came in. Si Qi hurriedly wiped away her tears and stood aside.
Xiaolian trotted in.
"Miss, His Royal Highness has left a message for you."
After she finished speaking, she realized that Si Qi had not retreated yet. She couldn't help but stop talking and looked at Chu Yunxi.
"It's okay, just tell me."
Chu Yunxi wanted to trust Si Qi, so he also wanted to gain her trust first.
Xiaolian hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Chu Yunxi really had no intention of letting Si Qi back down, she finally said:
"Miss, His Highness the Crown Prince said that the descendants of the Xiao family have completely disappeared from this world, and will no longer be disgusted with Miss. Let Miss be happy and wait for him to come to welcome the bride tomorrow."
Jun Hongyan and Xiao Guogong are dead? It’s true, they are dead!
Chu Yunxi looked at Si Qi with a slight smile.
"Si Qi, you heard it. People who have committed many evil deeds will be repaid sooner or later. We must live happily and wonderfully to be worthy of those who have passed away."
Si Qi nodded heavily, tears blurring her eyes again. She did not expect that a pampered young lady like Chu Yunxi could really empathize with her experience.
Si Qi finally showed his first smile since entering the General's Mansion.
Real and beautiful.
Xiaolian looked at the interaction between the two and was a little confused. Why didn't the young lady say these words to her, but to that Si Qi who had just entered the general's mansion? She couldn't figure it out, so she simply didn't want to.
"Miss, the yard has been decorated. It's really festive. Do you want to go and take a look?"
Chu Yunxi agreed with a smile, and went outside the house with the two maids.
Everything you see is bright red wedding silk, and even the old tree in the courtyard is hung with small red lanterns and blessing bags filled with blessings.
Like the thousand-year-old marriage tree, it is hung with the blessings of young gentlemen and young ladies for a beautiful marriage.
On this day, Mrs. Chu and Princess Guo went back and forth several times to explain details and precautions to Chu Yunxi.
The three brothers were also very busy, arranging for people to set up the venue for entertaining guests tomorrow. They especially made sure that the kitchen and ingredients were taken care of, so that no one could take advantage of the loopholes.
Seeing her family members busy, Chu Yunxi's heart was filled with overflowing happiness. In this life, she had no regrets.
…
On the eighth day of July, the wind is clear and the sun is bright, which is good luck! It’s a good time to get married!
The people in the capital, as long as they didn't worry about their livelihood, got up early today. They didn't even have the heart to eat breakfast, so they went to watch the excitement.
I heard that early in the morning, the red carpet was rolled out from the palace to the door of General Chu's house. The entire road was guarded by imperial guards on both sides.
Their God of War, His Royal Highness, is getting married. How many times can we see such a grand event in our lifetime?
The General's Mansion was full of joy. Even the stone lion at the entrance was tied with festive red silk flowers. It became lively early in the morning.
General Chu and his three sons greeted the guests at the door. Those who came at this time were all related to the Chu family.
The old Marquis and his wife from the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion are very old and have not left the Marquis Mansion for several years. Today they are here dressed in fine clothes. Although they are leaning on crutches, they are in good spirits. They also bring a large family with them.
Son, come and give Chu Yunxi a strong momentum.
Men and women were seated separately. General Chu personally led the old marquis to the men's seat, then excused himself and left to receive other guests.
The old lady and the female relatives of the Ningyuan Hou Mansion were led by Princess Guo to Madam Chu.
Only on such a big day would King Hao and Princess Hao dare to come to the Chu family openly.
"Father, mother."
When Princess Guo returned, she met her parents and greeted them happily.
King Hao nodded, and Princess Guo took Princess Hao into the inner courtyard again. Princess Hao couldn't help but give an instruction.
"Today is your sister-in-law's wedding. You should be busy and take care of her. Don't be rude."
"Yes, mother, daughter knows."
Princess Guo agreed with a smile. Everyone in the Chu family, including Chu Yunxi, treated her so well, so of course she wanted to reciprocate the favor.
The bride, Chu Yunxi, had also gotten up early to take a bath and purify herself. Before she started to change into her wedding clothes, she heard that the guests had already arrived. She put on casual clothes to meet these relatives who came specially for her.
Princess Hao took the initiative to salute this time.
"I've met the Crown Princess."
Chu Yunxi hurriedly reached out to help him.
"Princess, you are the elder and you have embarrassed me."
Princess Hao shook Chu Yunxi's hand and said with a smile:
"National etiquette first, family etiquette second, that's how it should be."
She took a small box from the maid's hand and gave it to Chu Yunxi.
"This is the makeup that King Hao and I give you. I hope that you and His Highness will live in harmony and have a smooth life from now on."
Chu Yunxi knew that it was difficult to refuse at this time, so he accepted it generously.
"Thank you, Princess."
Princess Hao nodded, knowing that Chu Yunxi would be very busy today, so she let go of her hand without taking up more of her time.
"Meet the Crown Princess."
Several of her aunts came forward to salute at the same time. Chu Yunxi was also busy helping her up.
"This is your own home, aunts don't need to be polite."
Chu Yunxi helped the lady around and received a few more gifts before arriving in front of the old lady. Chu Yunxi hurriedly greeted her first.
"Xi'er wishes my grandmother good wishes."
The old lady smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into lines, and she gave the newlyweds some good advice.
"Hahaha, okay, our Xi'er has grown into a big girl. When we enter the palace, we will not be able to have freedom at home. We must think twice before doing anything."
"Xi'er remembers her grandmother's teachings."
Chu Yunxi nodded in agreement.
The old lady took off a ruby ring from her hand and put it on Chu Yunxi's finger.
"This is still a gift from your grandfather's mother when I got married to your grandfather. Today, I will give it to you. I hope that you and your wife can grow old together. You must spread your branches and leaves for the royal family as soon as possible."
"Grandma, how can Xi'er accept this?"
Chu Yunxi was a little embarrassed, but also a little moved. Her grandmother had cherished this ring all her life. She did not pass it on to her own grandchildren, but gave it to her granddaughter.
The old lady patted Chu Yunxi's hand.
"Wear it, it's a gift from our elders, I dare not say goodbye."
"Thank you grandma."
Chu Yunxi had no choice but to accept it, along with the blessings from his family.
