Not long after Empress Dowager Li was buried, all the distinguished families in the capital tried their best to keep a low profile, and the banquets were much less frequent than in the past. The marriage between the Xie and Yu families was also a happy event that attracted everyone's attention.
On this day, most officials in the capital sent two congratulatory gifts. However, most people went to Xie's house.
The Xie family had set up fifty tables, which was not enough. They urgently added thirty more tables, and they could barely cope.
At the Yu family's wedding banquet, many tables were empty, which was quite bleak.
Yu Guangzheng, who made a comeback, is now the head of the Yu family. The eldest brother Yu Guangde's reputation in the clan has plummeted. When Yu Wan got married, if she hadn't married into the Xie family, there wouldn't have been many clan members willing to help with the wedding banquet.
Everyone is willing to do the icing on the cake, but there are very few people who are willing to provide help in times of need.
The world has always been like this, no wonder others are snobbish.
Mrs. Zhou was seriously ill and had not been able to make ends meet. The night before Yu Wan got married, Ms. Zhou went to Yu Wan's boudoir and whispered to her daughter: "Awan, my good daughter, how is the current situation of the Yu family? How are you doing?"
Everyone knows it."
"Since you jumped out of this pit of fire and married into the Xie family, you must stay in peace and live a good life in the Xie family."
"Don't worry about what your father said anymore. Don't worry about the Queen Mother's thoughts."
"The harem belongs to Empress Xie. From now on, you will be Empress Xie's sister-in-law, and you and the empress will have an inseparable relationship. There is no way that you can be a wallflower."
After all, her mother still loved her.
This exhortation is truly for her consideration.
Yu Wan's eyes were moist and her eyes were red: "My daughter has memorized all her mother's teachings."
Mrs. Zhou smiled happily and reached out to stroke Yu Wan's hair. Her words were a bit desolate: "Your father also has his own reasons. He is the biological brother of the Queen Mother. He has enjoyed wealth and honor because of the Queen Mother over the years. Now,
It's time for him to pay his debt."
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried for a long time.
Perhaps she had run out of tears, or perhaps she was completely heartbroken by the Queen Mother and her father. On her wedding day, Yu Wan did not shed any tears, nor was she too happy.
Wearing a wedding dress and a red hijab, she was helped onto the sedan chair, and then carried swayingly to Xie's Mansion. After the ceremony, she was sent to the bridal chamber.
Probably because she was too tired, Yu Wan didn't even feel nervous anymore.
It wasn't until the moment she took off her hijab that Yu Wan's heart skipped a beat. Only then did she really feel excited and hesitant about getting married.
Her new husband-in-law was standing beside the bed.
She didn't have the courage to look up, so she lowered her eyes and let the crowd who came to watch the ceremony look and laugh.
"The bride is so beautiful!"
"Yes! Editor Xie was so blinded by this."
"Congratulations to Editor Xie, and your beautiful wife."
The classmates of the same age were all laughing and joking. Sixteen-year-old Xie Yuanwei was quite shameless and blushed, almost as shy as a newlywed.
I don't know if it was the narrow-minded guy who pushed Xie Yuanwei on purpose.
The strength of his hand was not strong, and Xie Yuanwei staggered a step, just in time to bump into the newlyweds.
Xie Yuanwei was caught off guard and could not react in time. He had to hug the newlyweds and barely stabilize his body. Everyone had already burst into laughter: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, wait until the wedding banquet is over before the wedding."
Xie Yuanwei felt that he was being rude to Meng Lang, and despite everyone's teasing, he lowered his voice and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be frivolous."
Yu Wan's cheeks felt hot, like a fire, and she quickly raised her eyes.
Eyes facing each other.
Xie Yuanwei was born handsome and elegant, with eyes as gentle as jade.
Yu Wan is as beautiful as a flower and has an elegant temperament.
The same thing is that both of them have blushing faces, hot ears and heartbeats. When they look at each other, the blush on their faces becomes deeper.
In just a few moments, both the young man and the young man were filled with excitement.
…
Soon, Xie Yuanwei was pulled out by everyone. The bridal chamber became quiet again. Yu Wan's frantically beating heart finally calmed down a bit.
After a while, a maid brought a hot meal: "This is the meal that the third master specially asked the kitchen to prepare. Please use some of it while it's hot."
The wedding day is indeed very tiring for a woman. She has to get up before dawn, and it takes half a day to dress and change clothes. When she arrives at her husband's house, she has to sit upright all the time.
Yu Wan hadn't touched a grain of rice all day. Smelling the tangy aroma of the food, she became increasingly hungry. She simply walked over to the dining table and stopped eating when she was mostly full.
At midnight, a drunk Xie Yuanwei was carried back to his new house.
Yu Wan: "..."
All the shame and shame disappeared, leaving only a hint of amusement and relief.
Yu Wan took off Xie Yuanwei's shoes and socks, then carefully got on the bed and lay down next to Xie Yuanwei. Listening to Xie Yuanwei's slightly rapid breathing, Yu Wan's panicked heart gradually calmed down, and she fell asleep quickly.
.
After Yu Wan fell asleep, Xie Yuanwei opened his eyes.
In fact, the thin-skinned Xie Yuanwei, who looked shy and quiet, had a good drinking capacity. He was given more than ten glasses of water and wine, so it was not a big deal. He was just pretending to be drunk.
Yu Wan was in a panic, so how could he not feel uneasy?
Yu Wan is the daughter of the Yu family, and he is a descendant of the Xie family. Empress Dowager Yu and Empress Xie are on the same page, so the Yu family and the Xie family naturally have different positions.
However, they were tied together by a decree and became husband and wife.
She didn't know what his temperament was, and he often wondered in his mind what his future wife would be like.
Does her heart look towards the Yu family, or will she become one with him?
Xie Yuanwei silently stared at the sleeping Yu Wan for a long time, sighed softly, closed his eyes, and fell asleep together.
…
Two days later, Xie Yuanwei and his wife entered the palace to express their gratitude.
The two went to Fulin Palace first. Empress Dowager Yu had great expectations for Yu Wan, so she supported her sick body to see Yu Wan and Xie Yuanwei. She also gave them a generous meeting gift.
Immediately afterwards, the newlyweds went to Jiaofang Hall again.
Xie Mingxi, who has started to observe filial piety again, is wearing plain palace clothes today. If you want to be pretty, dress in filial piety, this is absolutely true. Xie Mingxi is already beautiful, and wearing plain clothes makes her more charming.
Sheng Hongxiu spent half a day in the Jiaofang Palace. He was also extremely easy-going and friendly towards Xie Yuanwei and his wife. He said with a smile: "There are no outsiders in the Jiaofang Palace today. Don't keep calling the Emperor's Empress. Just like in the past."
, just call me cousin, cousin husband."
This honor and dignity, of course, all come from Xie Mingxi.
Xie Yuanwei was so flattered that he did not dare to agree: "This is absolutely impossible."
Sheng Hong didn't force himself too much and rewarded the newlyweds generously. Then he smiled at Xie Mingxi and said, "Let them have lunch in the palace today!"
Xie Mingxi responded with a smile: "I have already ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare meals."
Then, he called Yu Wan forward to speak.
Yu Wan was called into the palace several times to talk. She was quite familiar with Xie Mingxi, so she was not shy and walked forward with a smile.
