Xiaolan was still asleep when someone gently reminded her.
Looking up, a person who looked like a grandma was standing in front of her.
"Princess, you're awake."
Grandma waved to the door, and immediately five little maids walked in carrying various utensils.
"Princess, let the little maids take care of you to wash up. Then I will ask Xi Niang to comb the princess's hair into a bun, and then I will take care of the princess to put on the phoenix crown and harem."
"No need, go and see outside the door to see if anyone has been sent by the General's Mansion?"
The old nanny laughed: "Princess, it is still the fifth watch, and it will be at least two hours before the general comes to welcome the bride in a sedan chair."
Xiaolan thought to herself, why am I waiting for a sedan chair? I am waiting for the promise that Zhao Bai gave me.
She also thought that the emperor's morning court time had not yet come, and maybe Zhao Bai was waiting in front of the main hall to ask for his orders.
"Then, let the slaves dress up the princess." The nun said with a smile, "The princess is naturally beautiful, and if she is dressed like Xi Niang, she will definitely be the most beautiful bride today."
Everything is going according to procedure.
After a while, a beautiful woman with a phoenix crown and a beautiful dress appeared in the mirror.
The little maid brought a bowl of red date and lotus seed soup.
Grandma asked Xi Niang to pick it up and feed Xiaolan one spoonful at a time.
After the bowl of red date and lotus seed soup was finished, grandma shouted softly, "It will be prosperous and you will have a baby soon."
Xiaolan was already a little impatient with waiting.
She was also afraid that if she pressed her again, she would be laughed at by this nanny for wanting to get married and going crazy.
General Zhao, you can't break your promise.
Xiaolan is waiting for an imperial edict from the emperor to leave you, Lin'an, and everything that may threaten my child with peace of mind.
However, it was not until nearly the end of the day that Xiaolan received a piece of news from the General's Mansion.
The general ordered the trees on the road from the General's Mansion to Lanyuan to be hung with red silk, and the only way to go was covered with flowers.
At this time, the eight-carriage sedan was walking towards Lanyuan behind the general's tall horse.
"Quickly go to Wangxiang Tower to invite Young Master Mei."
Mammy ordered, "This eldest brother is my father. Third Young Master Mei is here to receive a cup of tea from the Prince Consort."
Xiaolan was anxious, it seemed that Zhao Bai's promise could not be fulfilled.
She really wanted to take off all her clothes, rush to Zhao Bai, and ask him why he didn't keep his promise.
Maywood was quickly invited over.
There was no joy at all on his face.
"Third Young Master, it's normal for a brother like you to be reluctant to let your sister get married. However, your consort will still have to see this smile later."
Mei Wude gave the nanny a look with a fierce look in his eyes.
The grandma was so frightened that she quickly shut up and stepped aside.
"Mommy, please take everyone and leave first. I have something to say to my third brother."
Mei Wude moved a small stool and sat next to Xiaolan, staring at Xiaolan in the bronze mirror: "You are so beautiful today."
"Third brother." Xiaolan immediately grabbed Mei Wu De's hand, "If I ask you to help escape marriage now, would you be willing?"
"What, you want to run away from the marriage?" Maywood jumped up.
Xiaolan quickly covered his mouth.
"I've thought about it, but I'm still not sure whether I love General Zhao or not, so I don't think I can marry General Zhao now."
A hint of joy flashed in Meiwu De's eyes, and he held Xiaolan's hand more tightly:
"I just said you don't love Zhao Bai, you love Qin Shaobai."
"Yes, so I want to escape before the sedan chair arrives."
Xiaolan was determined this time, "Third brother, you will help me, right?"
"He can't help you." Temujin's cold voice sounded at the door.
"Father," Meiwu De shouted sadly, "We can't force sister Xiaolan to marry someone we don't like."
Temujin rolled up his sleeves and sat down.
He glanced at Mei Wude from the corner of his eye and muttered: "Get out."
Meiwu De still wanted to argue, but when he saw Temujin's face that was colder than ice, he sighed sadly and walked out.
"Khan, I know it's wrong for me to have such thoughts."
Xiaolan stood up and walked to the window.
There were already children in the yard, attracted by the flowers and ribbons, looking around.
Grandma and the maids were there politely sending them away.
"You know this idea is wrong, that's it."
Temujin stood behind Xiaolan and rubbed her head with his hand.
"Xiaolan, you are not an ordinary woman, the person you want to marry is not an ordinary man, and your marriage is not a farce that can be broken up."
Xiaolan lowered her head and listened to Temujin continue to speak.
"Yesterday, you also saw that people from all walks of life, including the Duan clan of Dali and the four demons of Baihua Cave, came to celebrate you."
"In other words, everyone knows about your wedding with General Zhao."
He sighed and turned Xiaolan's body over:
"Xiaolan, believe me, everything is not as scary as you think. General Zhao is the most capable person in the world to protect you and your children."
Xiaolan looked at Temujin and finally nodded solemnly.
"The groom's official has come to welcome the bride. He also invites his father-in-law to sit down and receive a cup of tea from the bride and groom."
"Well, I have to go and let your unwilling brother come to drink tea."
Temujin patted Xiaolan and said, "You will be happy."
In the yard, Zhao Bai has dismounted.
The eight-carriage sedan was parked there quietly, with Wuchen and Xiaowan standing on both sides of the sedan.
"Brother in law, my eldest brother is my father, so I would like to ask you to take a seat."
Maywood reluctantly sat down in the nave.
Xiaolan walked out of the room with the support of the maids.
Zhao Bai's eyes were almost straight.
He reached out and took Xiaolan's hand.
Xiaolan instinctively wanted to shrink back.
But Zhao Bai suddenly tightened his grip.
Zhao Bai gently pulled Xiaolan to his side and whispered in her ear: "It's me, Xiaolan."
Xiaolan looked up suddenly, but the red hijab on her face prevented her from seeing anything.
She could only hold one of Zhao Bai's hands and write the word Qin in his palm.
Unexpectedly, the person next to him snorted slightly.
Xiaolan felt that her heart was beating violently, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.
"Please ask the bride and groom to pour tea for your brother-in-law."
A maid brought the teapot and teacup.
Zhao Bai poured two cups of tea, one cup was handed to Xiaolan, and the other cup was held by himself and handed to Mei Wude.
Maywood didn't want to drink the cup of tea at all, his eyes were red.
He looked at Zhao Bai and clenched his fists.
Temujin, who was sitting aside, snorted.
Mei Wude then reluctantly took the tea cup from Zhao Bai's hand and drank it all in one gulp.
He took the tea cup from Xiaolan's hand again, held Xiaolan's hand with both hands, and said after a while: "No matter who he is, as long as he dares to bully you, you will come back to Wangxianglou to find me. I will take him with you
Thousands of troops crushed his general's mansion."
After finishing his sentence, Meiwu De stood up and shouted loudly towards the door: "Brother, send my sister to the sedan chair!"
