I am Yuan Niaoniao

When Han Junyi anxiously led his men to the hiding place of Yan Hansheng's clan in the suburbs, what he saw made his heart sink - the house was empty, with only a few remaining signs of a fight.

"I'm still a step late..." Han Junyi muttered to himself, his eyes revealing a hint of loss and helplessness. Perhaps she had already been rescued by him; or perhaps, with her wisdom and skills, she was able to escape by herself. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, but his heart was still lingering with lingering worries.

Han Junyi slowly turned around, his eyes falling on the earrings he held tightly in his hand, as if he could see the figure he was worried about through them. After a moment of silence, Han Junyi resolutely put the earrings into his arms, then took a step and left without looking back. It was fate after all.

....................................

Time flies, and the wedding day is coming soon. The whole city is filled with a festive and peaceful atmosphere, with lights and decorations everywhere, and it is very lively. All over the country, grand banquets are set up for three consecutive days to celebrate this grand wedding.

At this moment, Yuan Mansion is bustling with activity. Yuan Niao Niao sits quietly in front of the dressing table, staring at herself in the mirror. She is beautiful in her gorgeous wedding dress, but she is filled with mixed emotions: anticipation for her future life and feelings about her past experiences. In her previous life, how could she not have longed for this day to come? However, the groom at that time was not Chen Shaoyi, but Han Haotian. In this life, she finally made her own choice - to marry the man she can trust and entrust her life to.

Time flies, and a year has passed in a flash. The pain and regrets of the past have been healed by time, and history has been rewritten. Those bad experiences have not happened again, and now they are all living in peace. Looking forward to the road ahead, Yuan Niaoniao firmly believes that as long as she and Chen Shaoyi are together and walk hand in hand, they will be able to move forward and welcome a bright future.

"Miss, you are so beautiful!" Dongxue came in with a tray with a red veil and wedding scarf on it. "Our Miss is finally getting married." Thinking of this, Dongxue's eyes were red. She was an orphan and grew up with Miss. Miss treated her like a sister. Now she could see Miss getting married, which was the most beautiful thing.

"You, if you cry again..." Looking at Dongxue wiping her tears, she couldn't help but shed tears, and her emotions were somewhat difficult to hide.

"Sister! Sister! Open the door!" Xixi's voice sounded outside the door. Yuan Niao Niao gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, then wiped the tears for Dongxue, and nodded to signal Dongxue to open the door.

Dongxue calmed down and opened the door immediately. Unexpectedly, Yuan Xixi, Chu Rong and an elder were standing outside the door. Xixi was the first to run in: "Sister, look! Who's back!"

Yuan Niaoniao stood up slowly after hearing this. The heavy dress made her move inconveniently. She turned around and looked outside the door. Behind Yuan Xixi stood Chu Rong and an elder who looked similar in age but unfamiliar. Dong Xue then gently closed the door.

The clever Niao Niao knew who that was without thinking: "Grandpa!" She ran towards the old man who had already opened his arms, choking with sobs.

"Niao Niao, you've grown up. You're going to get married!" Yuan Wuhe said softly with love and reluctance, and opened his arms to catch Niao Niao who was running towards him. Looking at the granddaughter who was about to leave him and enter the marriage hall, he couldn't help but feel mixed emotions, but he still patted her back gently and comforted her: "Today is a happy day, don't cry! If you cry your face off, be careful that His Royal Highness Prince Chen will dislike you and then regret the engagement."

“Grandpa…” Hearing this, Niao Niao was moved and couldn’t help but have tears in her eyes. But she was afraid that it would affect her makeup as her grandfather said, so she pretended to be angry and said, “Hmph, I won’t get married. Niao Niao doesn’t want to get married. I will stay with you and be filial to you!”

"Then what should I do? Oh, it seems that I can only spend my old age alone and miserable." Seeing the deep affection between the grandparents and grandchildren, Chu Rong deliberately joked, pretending to be very aggrieved and about to be jealous.

"Master, please stop making fun of me. How could Niao Niao forget you? Whether you are grandpa or master, Niao Niao will always be by your side and serve you until the end of your life!" Yuan Niao Niao burst into tears and smiled, looking at Chu Rong with curved eyebrows, her eyes full of determination and happiness.

"That's a deal then." Chu Rong said while the iron was hot.

"It's all settled!" Yuan Niaoniao looked at Chu Rong and grandpa with a smile.

"Okay, we're done reminiscing about the past. Don't bother me, sister. Dongxue, hurry up and help your young lady get dressed. The auspicious time is coming soon, and His Royal Highness Prince Chen will be here soon."

"Okay, okay, let's all go out and wait." Yuan Wuhe quickly pushed Chu Rong, who was reluctant to leave, out, and also pulled Yuan Xixi out with him: "Xixi, come out and help too."

"Grandpa!" Yuan Xixi shook her head helplessly, holding Chu Rong and Yuan Wuhe's hands and walking towards the hall. At this time, the hall was already crowded with people, and almost all of them supported Prince Chen or were on good terms with the Yuan family. Today was also a critical day. After all, three families were holding weddings at the same time, and whichever party you attended represented which party you supported. Therefore, all the officials in the court did not dare to come out and attend in person. Each household only sent relatives to attend. If there were some who had clearly stood on the side, who would not be afraid that the emperor would be unhappy and punish them? After all, the emperor was still in his prime, and the succession of the throne would be a long time in the future. Who knows if there would be any changes.

"Miss, I will help you put on the veil, and then we will wait for our son-in-law to come and pick you up." Dongxue picked up the red veil and covered Yuanniao's head with it.

Yuan Niaoniao, under the veil, was grabbing the veil nervously. After today, she would be a wife and no longer a girl.

There was a noise outside the door, followed by a series of firecrackers. "Here they come! Here they come!" Someone shouted, and everyone's eyes turned to the door. From a distance, Chen Shaoyi was seen wearing a bright red wedding dress, with a light red double-breasted jacket with a bright silk surface. The hem of the robe was turned up and tucked into the white jade belt around his waist. He wore white deerskin boots on his feet for riding convenience. His black hair was combed into a neat bun on top of his head, and put in an exquisite white jade hair crown. From both sides of the jade crown hung light green silk crown bands, and a flowing flower knot was tied at the lower forehead. His eyebrows were gentle, his temperament was noble, and such a handsome face, which girl would not be moved. He led the wedding procession to the direction of Yuan Mansion.

Everyone crowded at the door, smiling to welcome Chen Shaoyi. The handsome and imposing Chen Shaoyi rode a tall horse slowly towards him, smiling and looking very proud, as if the whole world was cheering for him. When Chen Shaoyi arrived at the gate of Yuan Mansion, he jumped off the horse lightly, and then walked into the mansion with firm and powerful steps.

At this moment, Yuan Niaoniao had been waiting here early with Dongxue. She was wearing a gorgeous wedding dress and delicate makeup, like a fairy descending to the earth. Finally, Chen Shaoyi walked in front of Yuan Niaoniao and held her hand. In front of everyone, he helped Yuan Niaoniao get on the sedan chair.

"Let's take the princess back home!" Mingchen shouted, and the wedding procession marched back in a mighty manner.

Sitting in the bridal sedan, Yuan Niaoniao secretly lifted her veil, then secretly opened the door curtain. She saw the back of the spirited young man in front of her. She felt indescribably happy in her heart. She lowered the curtain with a sweet smile on her face and sat quietly.

"Bow to heaven and earth!" the matchmaker shouted loudly, and her voice echoed throughout the mansion. Hearing this, Chen Shaoyi and Yuan Niaoniao held the red silk ribbon that symbolized a happy marriage. Then, Chen Shaoyi quickly turned around and faced Yuan Niaoniao; and Yuan Niaoniao, with Dongxue's careful support, slowly turned around, and the two faced each other, their eyes full of affection and expectation.

They slowly lowered their heads, in unison, and bowed to the heaven and earth. At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and everything around them became quiet and solemn. They expressed their respect for heaven and earth in the most traditional way, and at the same time made a vow to stay together for life. This simple yet solemn ceremony witnessed the sincere love between them.

"Two thanks to the high hall."

Chen Shaoyi and Yuan Niao Niao knelt down again and kowtowed three times to Bai Yue'e and Chen Xifeng. Then they bowed to Chen Yuheng and Mu Liuli and offered tea. Chu Rong and Yuan Wuhe, who were standing, could not help but wipe away their tears quietly. "Good children, from today on, you will be together for the rest of your lives. Remember to help each other and love each other." Bai Yue'e said with red eyes. How great it would be if the master was still here at this time, so that he could witness this day with his own eyes.

"Shaoyi, Niaoniao, please listen carefully to my instructions." Chen Shaoyi and Yuan Niaoniao responded in unison.

"Couple's Worship"

This time the two men did not kneel, but half-bowed and touched each other as a gesture of greeting.

"The ceremony is completed and the bride is sent to the bridal chamber."

Amid the cheers of the crowd, he held the knot in Yuan Niaoniao's hand and walked out of the hall and toward the backyard. He helped Yuan Niaoniao sit down, and just as he reached out to lift the red gauze covering her head, Yuan Niaoniao grabbed his hand and said, "Hey, go deal with the guests at the banquet first, don't lose your manners, come back later and lift it up."

"Okay." Chen Shaoyi withdrew his hand somewhat embarrassedly after hearing this. "I'm just worried that you'll feel bored. If you feel uncomfortable, just take off your veil. I don't care about etiquette. I only care about you. Niao Niao, my princess."

"Go quickly." With a hint of smile in her voice, Yuan Niao Niao gently pushed Chen Shaoyi's hand.

Chen Shaoyi pushed the door open reluctantly.

"This is the day I've seen the Young Master smile the most in my life. I've never seen the Young Master so happy." Ming Chen said to Ming Xiao.

"I have never seen such a young master before. Today he must smile back the smile that he has never shown in the past." Ming Xiao nodded in agreement.

"This is all thanks to Miss Yuan's willingness to marry our young master." Ming Chen was really grateful to Yuan Niao Niao. Since she appeared, the young master's health has improved, the poison has been cured, and more importantly, he has changed as a person, no longer cold and icy. He also talks more, and is much better than the young master before.

"I have to change my words. From now on, I should call you Madam Young Master." Ming Xiao said after thinking for a while.

"What the hell! That's the princess!" Ming Chen slapped Ming Xiao on the head, "She should be called the princess. I told you to study more, but you were lazy!"

"Ah," Ming Xiao covered his head in pain, knowing that he was in the wrong and did not dare to refute.

Chen Shaoyi was only thinking about Yuan Niao Niao. He walked around very perfunctorily and left. The guests did not dare to object. After all, it was rare for the Prince of Chen to smile today. Not to mention going to his bridal chamber to make trouble, no one would dare to do so even if they were given ten times the courage.

"Niao Niao, I'm back." Chen Shaoyi pushed the door open and came in. "I'm here to accompany you."

"Huh?" Yuan Niao Niao was a little surprised. "It's only been a short time since you left, and you're back. Isn't that a bit bad? Don't you need to entertain the guests?"

"When I'm not around, they can drink more happily." Chen Shaoyi said helplessly. He didn't know why, but those people always saw him as if he were a ghost. They were all tired of seeing him anyway, so he might as well come back early. After all, a night of spring is worth a thousand gold!

Chen Shaoyi carefully picked up the crystal clear, warm and smooth jade ruyi. His fingertips lightly touched its cool surface, as if it could ease his excitement. Then, he slowly moved the jade ruyi in front of his eyes and gently lifted the mysterious and seductive red veil.

As the red veil was lifted, Yuan Niao Niao's charming face appeared in front of Chen Shaoyi. Her skin was as white and delicate as sheep fat, and her slightly upturned eyes revealed a hint of playfulness and agility; her cherry mouth was slightly open, with a faint smile hanging at the corner of her mouth. When their eyes met, the whole world seemed to freeze, and time seemed to stop flowing.

"Are you going to keep looking at me like this?" Yuan Niaoniao finally broke the silence and said softly, her voice was as sweet as the sound of nature. A blush appeared on her face, as beautiful as a blooming peach blossom. Chen Shaoyi came back to his senses as if waking up from a dream, and smiled awkwardly: "Ah, yes, yes, let's drink to each other's cups."

He picked up a pair of white jade wine glasses on the table in a flustered manner. The wine glasses were pure white and radiated a faint luster. Chen Shaoyi took a deep breath to calm his excitement, and then stood side by side with Yuan Niao Niao, their arms intertwined. They slowly raised their wine glasses, brought them close to each other's lips, and drank the wine in the glasses at the same time.

The wine went down his throat, bringing with it a mellow and sweet taste. Chen Shaoyi put down his glass, stared into Yuan Niao Niao's eyes, and said solemnly: "From now on, you are my princess. May we go through thick and thin together, and never leave each other." Yuan Niao Niao nodded shyly, her eyes full of affection.

Chen Shaoyi couldn't bear it any longer, he held Yuan Niaoniao's little face in his hands and kissed her gently, Yuan Niaoniao also put her arms around Chen Shaoyi's waist.

Their lips met, and their breathing became faster. Chen Shaoyi's hands wrapped around Yuan Niaoniao's slender waist, holding her tightly in his arms. Yuan Niaoniao closed her eyes, feeling Chen Shaoyi's passion and love.

After a long while, Chen Shaoyi slowly let go of Yuan Niao Niao. He looked down at her, his eyes full of tenderness and doting, "Princess, it's time to rest."

Yuan Niao Niao nodded slightly, with a happy smile on her face. Chen Shaoyi helped her walk to the bed, and then gently put her down. The two sat side by side on the edge of the bed, looking into each other's eyes, and their feelings for each other at this moment did not need words.

Outside the window, the moonlight poured into the house like water, illuminating their figures. In this quiet night, their love was as bright and shining as the stars in the night sky.

.......................................

At the same time, the situations of the other two newlyweds were quite different and not so sweet and beautiful.

After Han Haotian and Qingxin hurriedly finished the wedding ceremony, Qingxin hurried back to the room and locked the door tightly. She thought to herself that she had to be on guard against Han Haotian's sudden intrusion when he was drunk. Fortunately, she could temporarily refuse to sleep with him because she was pregnant and the fetus was not stable yet.

Helplessly, Han Haotian could only stay in the front hall and drink with the guests until dawn.

..............

Jin Jingni and Han Junyi finally completed the grand and solemn wedding ceremony, but it was not until the last moment that Han Junyi slowly stepped into the beautifully decorated new house.

After Han Junyi entered the room, his eyes first fell on Jin Jingni, who was sitting dazedly beside the bed. Just by her sitting there, Han Junyi felt an indescribable sense of boredom. This feeling was like being enveloped by an invisible pressure, making him breathless.

Perhaps this is the pain of marrying someone you don't love. Han Junyi sighed secretly, thinking of the longing and expectation he once had for love, but now it has all turned into nothing. However, he is not the only one who feels this way, Jin Jingni is also suffering greatly.

She told herself over and over again: "I must become the queen! I must learn to be patient! I, Jin Jingni, can definitely do it!" These words seemed to be the only support in her heart, allowing her to continue to persevere in this strange and depressing environment.

Jin Jingni clenched her fists tightly, trying to hold back the tears that were about to fall from her eyes. She knew that she had to accept this marriage, and although her heart was full of helplessness and bitterness, she had to be strong and face the reality before her.

She could feel Han Junyi slowly approaching, and her mood became increasingly depressed, but she still forced herself to keep her spirits up and respond to Han Junyi's actions.
