Chapter 1084 [Ancient Juechen 25]
On the day of the engagement, the royal procession arrived at the Bai residence in a mighty procession, with boxes of betrothal gifts piled up like mountains. Silks, satins, gold, silver and jewelry all showed the royal family's wealth and majesty. Bai's father respectfully took the gift list, his heart filled with gratitude and fear.
Father Bai stared at the pile of royal betrothal gifts, and couldn't help but feel an indescribable emotion in his heart. These betrothal gifts were not only numerous, but also each one was a priceless treasure, all of which showed the royal nobility and generosity.
Father Bai knew that such a generous betrothal gift was both an honor and a heavy responsibility for the Bai family. He secretly made up his mind not to let the Bai family lose courtesy in this marriage, and not to let his son Bai Jue suffer any injustice in the palace.
Therefore, Bai's father did not hesitate to upgrade Bai Jue's dowry to a higher level. He carefully selected various rare jewelry, gorgeous clothing, exquisite handicrafts, and precious medicinal materials, and each item was strictly checked by him to ensure that their quality and value matched the royal betrothal gift.
These dowries are not only the love and care of the Bai family for Bai Jue, but also the embodiment of the Bai family's sincerity and strength in this marriage. They will be sent to the palace together with the royal betrothal gifts and become a strong support for Bai Jue's life in the palace.
On the wedding day, Murong Sangsang rode a tall horse and came to Bai's house in a heroic manner. She looked at the mansion decorated with joy, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly. After getting off the horse, she walked straight to the inner hall and saw Bai Jue wearing gorgeous clothes and with affectionate eyes. When Bai Jue saw her coming, his cheeks flushed.
Murong Sangsang did not hesitate, leaned over and carried Bai Jue on her back. Bai Jue gently hugged her neck, his heart beating like a drum. People around cast envious glances at them, praising the couple's talent and beauty.
Afterwards, Bai Jue was carefully placed in the bridal sedan. The sedan started to move, circling the city, attracting many people to stop and watch. The people talked about this grand wedding and gave them their blessings.
When the sedan chair finally arrived at the palace, Murong Sangsang stepped forward quickly, opened the curtain with her own hands, and took Bai Jue's hand.
……
Fengxi Palace
The spacious and bright palace was decorated with a new look, as if covered with a festive red veil. Bright red silk was hung above the head, like a dancing fairy, light and elegant.
The walls are surrounded by exquisite curtains with dragon and phoenix patterns. The dragon and the phoenix complement each other and look lifelike, as if they will take off and soar into the sky at any time.
The ground is covered with a thick red carpet, which is soft and comfortable, just like walking on clouds. The carpet is embroidered with exquisite patterns, which contrasts with the red silk and curtains, creating a strong festive atmosphere.
In the center of the room was a large table filled with all kinds of exquisite ritual objects and gold and silver jewelry, which sparkled brightly under the candlelight, making people dazzled. These ritual objects and jewelry were not only symbols of wealth, but also good wishes for the newlyweds.
Fragrant wood was burning in the fireplace, the blazing flames were jumping, emitting bursts of fragrant breath. The smoke was curling up like light smoke, adding a touch of mystery and romance to the whole hall.
Bai Jue was wearing a red wedding dress and sitting upright on the edge of the bed. He had a red veil on his head, covering his face completely.
Bai Jue sat there nervously, listening to Murong Sangsang's footsteps approaching, his heartbeat became more and more rapid. Murong Sangsang sat down beside him and gently held his hand, which was warm and strong. Bai Jue couldn't help but tremble slightly, he could feel Murong Sangsang's burning gaze falling on him through the veil.
After they drank the wedding wine, the atmosphere in the room became even more charming. Murong Sangsang slowly approached Bai Jue and whispered in his ear: "From now on, I will protect you for the rest of your life and will not let you suffer any injustice."
Bai Jue's face turned even redder, and he responded softly: "I believe you."
Suddenly, a loud noise came from outside the hall. Murong Sangsang frowned, stood up and walked to the door to check.
It turned out that Murong Xueying came to the door with a group of people, preparing to make trouble in the bridal chamber.
Murong Sangsang said angrily, "Xueying, what are you still dawdling about? Get down here right away! Look at the way you look. What are you saying? Today is your sister and your brother-in-law's wedding day. Why are you here to cause trouble?"
Xueying explained with a wronged look on her face: "Sister, I heard that making trouble in the bridal chamber can help newlyweds stay together for a long time, so I just wanted to join in the fun. I really don't have any other intentions."
Murong Sangsang sighed helplessly and said, "Alright, alright, forget it this time and don't do it again. But tomorrow morning I will check if your martial arts have improved. If not, Xueying, you can prepare to be punished."
When Xueying heard this, she panicked and begged for mercy: "Sister, please don't, I know I was wrong, please forgive me this time."
However, Murong Sangsang remained unmoved. She said seriously, "You know how to beg for mercy now? It's too late! Mu Yi, take the princess away."
As soon as he finished speaking, a dark figure flashed out from the darkness. It was Mu Yi. Without saying a word, he pressed Xue Ying's acupuncture points, lifted her up like a chicken, and then quickly left the room.
After dealing with Xueying's affairs, Murong Sangsang turned back to the house, walked to Bai Jue, and sat down gently. She gently stretched out her hands and slowly embraced Bai Jue in her arms.
Bai Jue leaned obediently in her arms, feeling her warmth and tenderness. He quietly listened to Murong Sangsang's heartbeat, as if it was the most beautiful melody in the world.
At this moment, time seemed to have stopped flowing, and there were only the two of them in the world. In this quiet night, they hugged each other, enjoying this rare warmth and sweetness.
