Chapter 128 Marriage (1)
Early in the morning, the Lin family mansion was already bustling with activity.
Red silk ribbons were hung everywhere, and the character for "happiness" was displayed high. Servants and young men moved about among them, their faces beaming with joy.
Song Yun's belly was already quite noticeable, but she still hadn't changed her carefree nature. At this moment, the few gold hairpins she had taken from Lin Shu were stuck in her hair, making her look like a butterfly helping Lin Shu decorate her new room.
Su Mu, who was helping Lin Shu get dressed, felt a headache just watching him. One could only imagine how lively the Lin family would become when that child-like seventh prince entered the manor again!
Lin Shu smiled helplessly. She was dressed in a red robe with gold embroidery and a jade crown on her head. She let Su Mu dress her up, and a gentle look flashed in her eyes. But when she thought of Li Huanzhi, she couldn't help but frown slightly.
"On such a joyous day, my wife mustn't look gloomy!" Su Mu said softly as he helped Lin Shu straighten her clothes, "I went to see Huanzhi yesterday, and he's doing quite well!"
"That's good!" Lin Shu's brows relaxed a bit, she nodded, and pulled Su Mu into her arms: "Amu, thank you for your hard work!"
"My wife is biased! I want some too, I want some too!" Seeing this, Song Yun rushed over, and Lin Shu was so frightened that she quickly freed one hand to catch him.
"Nonsense!" Lin Shu said to Song Yun in a somewhat serious tone.
But Song Yun didn't take it seriously at all. She and Su Mu nestled close to Lin Shu, and the three of them stayed together like that...
Meanwhile, in the Seventh Prince's palace.
Feng Yu was dressed in a red wedding gown embroidered with gold peacocks, sitting in front of a bronze mirror, being dressed and made up by her four personal attendants, "Feng, Hua, Xue, and Yue," and her wet nurse.
His previously round, bulging hair was loosened, and he was lightly tied into a half-bun, adorned with a gleaming hairpin. A small red mole was lightly placed between his eyebrows, which, combined with his round face, made him look somewhat like a little fairy boy under the seat of a Bodhisattva.
"Your Highness, from today onwards, you are officially an official."
The wet nurse's voice was choked with emotion, his eyes filled with reluctance. He had practically raised Feng Yu, and although he was also going to the Lin family, the thought of his child, who was still being breastfed, suddenly growing up was heartbreaking.
Feng Yu nodded vigorously, and the pearls wrapped in gold thread on his hairpin swayed. His round cat eyes showed seriousness and nervousness, but even more so, anticipation. He was finally going to marry Lin Shu!
The auspicious hour has arrived, and the groom, who will act as the bride's father, has arrived. Supported by her wet nurse, Feng Yu goes to Fengqi Palace to bid farewell to her elders. A large group of people accompanying her follow behind her.
He had barely stepped out of his palace when he heard 'Father Xi' proclaim in a loud voice: "On this auspicious day, let us unite in marriage!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the people accompanying him also shouted, and the sound echoed throughout the entire palace.
Upon arriving at Fengqi Palace, they saw the Dowager Empress, Feng Han, and Empress Xiao sitting upright in the main hall, eagerly awaiting their arrival.
Feng Yu remembered his wet nurse's instructions. When the servant brought him a prayer mat, he knelt down and kowtowed to the three people in the main seat to say goodbye. After the formalities were completed, he left.
Empress Xiao hurriedly stepped forward to help Feng Yu up, gently stroking his soft, chubby cheeks, tears streaming down her face. This was the first time she had ever seen the little boy so well-behaved.
"Little Stone looks really handsome today. Lin Shu will definitely be unable to take her eyes off him!"
Feng Yu only belatedly realized what was happening, and her heart ached with reluctance, her eyes reddening. But after hearing Xiao Junhou's words, she couldn't help but feel a mixture of shyness and anticipation.
"Alright! From now on, Yu'er belongs to the Lin family. She must not act as recklessly as before. She must know how to be a good wife and mother..." The old lady's voice, which was both dignified and slightly weak, came from behind.
Although what she said was not wrong, Empress Xiao felt quite uncomfortable listening to it. However, due to the dignity of the Empress Dowager, she could not say much, and the atmosphere suddenly became cold and quiet.
Feng Yu looked left and right, glancing at this and that, not understanding why everyone was suddenly unhappy.
Seeing Feng Yu's carefree and dim-witted appearance, Feng Han shook her head helplessly, then gently stroked his soft hair and said:
"My little stone is not going to marry into the Lin family to suffer. If Lin Shu dares to bully you, be sure to tell your mother, and your mother will definitely seek justice for you..."
Feng Yu pouted, giving him a look that said, "What nonsense are you talking about?! No way! Lin Shu would never bully me!"
"Aren't you ashamed..."
Seeing the harmonious scene here, the forgotten Japanese lady almost tore her handkerchief to shreds. They had completely ignored her and paid her no attention at all...
So he didn't want to make trouble for himself, got up and went straight back to his palace. Feng Han watched his back, her eyes flickered, not wanting to cause any trouble on this joyous day, so she let him go.
Fearing they would miss the auspicious time, the group had only exchanged a few words before they had to watch Feng Yu leave the palace.
When they arrived at the palace gate, there were three more wedding processions. The three princesses each rode on a tall horse, with their respective dowries following behind them.
With such a grand display, coupled with Feng Yu's original dowry, one can imagine how spectacular the scene must have been.
After the people in front entered the Lin residence, the rest set off from the palace gate, which made the wedding a topic of conversation among the people of the capital for a long time.
When the wedding procession arrived at the Lin residence, Lin Shu, who had been waiting at the gate for a long time, stepped forward and kicked open the sedan chair door to welcome Feng Yu out. Then, she took his chubby little hand, helped him onto the saddle, and led him into the hall to pay his respects...
From the moment Lin Shu led Feng Yu down from the sedan chair, she was so excited that she felt dizzy. Her cheeks were flushed, and she kept grinning foolishly with her big white teeth, mechanically following Lin Shu to perform the wedding ceremony.
With a shout of "Father Xi, lead him to the bridal chamber!", Feng Yu was taken to the courtyard that had been prepared for him.
Lin Shu is now an official in the court and has married a prince, so naturally the house is full of guests. As the principal husband, Su Mu naturally has to go to the front courtyard to take care of things, so he asked Song Yun to bring some food to Feng Yu.
Feng Yu was already hungry and was stuffing food into her mouth while listening to Song Yun talk. Finally, when Song Yun saw that there were only the two of them in the room, he secretly leaned close to Feng Yu's ear and whispered a few words.
"Cough cough..." Upon hearing this, Feng Yu blushed with embarrassment and choked without realizing it.
Song Yun quickly poured him a glass of water, looking at him with an expression that said, "How could you be so careless!"
After Feng Yu calmed down, she asked somewhat shyly, "Do we really have to do this?"
"Of course, that's how I seduced my wife back then. Otherwise, with her personality, I don't know when I would have gotten my hands on her..." Song Yun proudly shared his experience.
Lin Shu: ...I thought you were still young!
After Song Yun left, Feng Yu sat on the bed, lost in thought...
As night fell and the guests gradually dispersed, Lin Shu washed up and went to Feng Yu's room, where the two finally had some time alone together.
Inside the bridal chamber, the red candles flickered, illuminating the figures of the two, but... Lin Shu's eyelids twitched at the sight of Feng Yu's attire.
A chubby little boy dressed in a bright red gauze robe lay on his side on the couch, the robe loosely draped over his body, making inappropriate and seductive gestures, but...
Don't think Lin Shu can't tell; this is exactly the same outfit that A Mu wore when he taught A Yun to consummate their marriage.
Lin Shu was still in a daze when she heard the chubby boy's coquettish voice:
"Lin Shu~~"
