Chapter 588: Training of the Long Moon Jinming 6
After listening to Ye Xiwu's crying, the Grand Princess hated Ye Bingshang so much in her heart. This was the reason why she had been indifferent and even treated Ye Bingshang harshly over the years.
But she couldn't kill Ye Bingshang, a concubine who was also of the Ye family's bloodline, and she couldn't let her die at the hands of Ye Xiwu. Now that Ye Bingshang was nominally the concubine of Prince Xuancheng, it would be even more difficult to do so.
The Grand Princess could only appease Ye Xiwu first, and then decided to advance Ye Bingshang's wedding date. As for Ye Bingshang's dowry, the Grand Princess sighed, and decided not to give anything except the share that the public family should have. Of course, she would not stop the clan members from giving their dowry voluntarily.
Ye Xiwu's wedding was in two days, and Jiang Xinxin suggested that she go to the palace gate in person to welcome the hostage Tan Tai Jin. Ye Xiwu liked to be in the limelight, so she naturally had no objection. Therefore, she dressed more formally and even prepared a gorgeous dress for Tan Tai Jin.
Today's carriage was specially made. It was hollowed out on all four sides and decorated only with red gauze. Of course, like the sedan chair, the top was covered with layers of red gold decorations with auspicious meanings such as "a perfect match" and "a happy marriage for a hundred years".
Ye Xiwu's bright red wedding dress was decorated with all kinds of pearls and gems, and the phoenix crown on her head was made of thousands of pearls. The rouge on her face and lipstick were both bright red, but her bright looks and lively temperament made all these grand decorations look nothing more than a foil. Even if some people around her said that she had a bad temper, no one said that she didn't look good.
Jiang Xinxin and Ye Xiwu's personal maid Chuntao accompanied Ye Xiwu in the carriage to welcome Tan Tai Jin. Seeing Ye Xiwu's cheerful look, they all breathed a sigh of relief, especially Chuntao. She had only been with Ye Xiwu for three or four months, and the maids before her were either injured by Ye Xiwu or transferred or expelled because of Ye Xiwu. Therefore, she was particularly worried that she would suffer the same fate as those people before her.
At this moment, Ye Xiwu listened to the exclamations of the people outside and became more convinced of Jiang Xinxin's words.
But Jiang Xinxin admired the eldest princess in her heart. Although she seemed to pamper Ye Xiwu and treated her as the second child, she actually taught Ye Xiwu to respect the imperial power. Otherwise, why would Ye Xiwu let Ye Bingshang, the concubine of Prince Xuancheng, go?
Tan Tai Jin, who grew up being bullied in the cold palace, had never been taught to read and write. Although he inherited the ability to taming beasts from his mother's Yi Yue tribe, he only used this ability vaguely and most of the time he only used it to observe the world outside the palace. Even if he set up spies in the General's Mansion, they focused on observing Ye Bingshang and Ye Xiwu. A maid like Jiang Xinxin, who had a little bit of fame, was not worth his attention.
But the luxurious dress that Ye Xiwu sent him really made him feel overwhelmed at first. Later, after listening to the words of the eunuchs who had bullied him, he realized that the dress was very valuable. He couldn't help but feel curious about Ye Xiwu, a vicious woman who was recognized by people inside and outside the palace.
The general's mansion was not far from the imperial palace. Even though Ye Xiwu had people make two detours, they soon arrived at the main gate of the palace.
After all, Tan Tai Jin was a prince from another country. Even if Emperor Sheng granted him a marriage and humiliated him, it was impossible for him to be held responsible for such minor details. Therefore, Tan Tai Jin was allowed to leave the palace through the main gate, even though he had walked all the way from the cold palace. As long as he came out through the main gate, it meant that Sheng Kingdom gave him, the prince of Jing Kingdom, great face.
No one paid attention to Tan Tai Jin's appearance and temperament in the past. Today, Tan Tai Jin was wearing a bright red wedding dress and a golden crown on his head. He looked so good that people couldn't even remember what he looked like in the past.
Ye Xiwu was quite satisfied with Tan Tai Jin today. She took the initiative to lean out half of her body and stretched out her hand to Tan Tai Jin, "I'm here to pick you up. Get in the car quickly."
Jiang Xinxin and Chuntao got off the carriage early in the morning and put the small red-painted ladder in place. Tan Tai Jin couldn't say anything, but he felt that he was no worse than Xiao Lin today, so he showed Ye Xiwu a smile that was almost as warm and amiable as Xiao Lin's, held her hand, stepped into the carriage in a few steps and sat next to Ye Xiwu.
Jiang Xinxin and Chuntao got on the carriage one on the left and one on the right, followed by Ye Xiwu and Tan Tai Jin. The coachman quickly put away the small ladder, turned the carriage, and headed towards the General's Mansion along the designated route.
Along the way, there were not only loud gongs and drums, but also firecrackers and copper coins to lead the way. The cost of Ye Xiwu's wedding was more than just 12,000 taels of silver.
The knotted spring silkworm is a Gu. The most poisonous thing about this Gu is that a woman who has been infected with it can only have intercourse with another person who has also eaten the knotted spring silkworm. Moreover, the poison attacks almost once a month, and only the person who has eaten the other half can cure it.
Although Jiang Xinxin hated and despised the Yi Yue tribe for releasing this poison, because the Yi Yue tribe created this kind of thing to restrict and humiliate women, but when it happened to Ye Xiwu, she could only collect information about the Yi Yue tribe while trying to match Ye Xiwu and Tan Tai Jin, hoping that they could at least fall in love with each other over time and not be simply bound together by this poison.
Ye Xiwu thought Tan Tai Jin was pretty good today, but she wasn't satisfied with him enough to sleep with him, so Jiang Xinxin had no choice but to arrange for Tan Tai Jin to sleep in the side room of Ye Xiwu's yard. "You two are newly married today, but due to some accidents... Anyway, it must be much more convenient to stay in the general's mansion than in the palace."
Jiang Xinxin still soaks in coptis water every once in a while. The reason she was able to go out today was because Ye Xiwu insisted on putting on makeup for her to slightly cover up her skin color.
Tan Tai Jin didn't understand the ways of the world, and he didn't have any emotions. Back in the palace, he would rather endure the effects of the spring silkworm and forced himself not to go to the last step with Ye Xiwu. He agreed to marry Ye Xiwu just to leave the palace. So Jiang Xinxin asked him to sleep in the side room, which was the best choice for him.
The wedding night passed in such an uneventful manner. Early the next morning, Ye Xiwu was even waiting with a smile for Tan Tai Jin to go over and pay respects to the elders together.
Of course, Tan Tai Jin was flattered by Ye Xiwu's enthusiastic little face. Especially since Jiang Xinxin understood Ye Xiwu's nature of being a face lover, she dressed Tan Tai Jin up as much as she could. When he went out in a pink dress, he really amazed Ye Xiwu again.
A pair of truly perfect lovers stood in the hall. The eldest princess and the general looked at Ye Xiwu and Tan Tai Jin. They both breathed a sigh of relief and smiled as they invited Ye Xiwu and Tan Tai Jin to have dinner. This morning passed smoothly.
As for going to the palace to express gratitude, it was not that everyone had forgotten about it, but Ye Xiwu had a bad temper. Even if she was somewhat satisfied with Tan Tai Jin, she couldn't let the palace know that Tan Tai Jin, the hostage of Jing Kingdom, was living a good life in the General's Mansion, so it was right not to go to express gratitude.
Even after the three days of their wedding, Ye Xiwu drove Tan Tai Jin to live in a place that was even more remote than Ye Bingshang's yard. The two met often, but Ye Xiwu felt that Tan Tai Jin seemed to be imitating Xiao Lin's words and deeds, so she looked down on him and couldn't help whipping him whenever they met.
Although this action caused Tan Tai Jin to suffer a lot, at least in the eyes of those people in the palace, everyone in the general's mansion was safe.
