You are my golden finger

Chapter 174 The Wedding is in Progress (3)

Lin Xijin was called out of bed by Nanny Wei and Nanny Zhou early in the morning. She looked at the sky, and even though she was always an early riser, she couldn't help but frown. It was too early.

"Princess, it's getting late. You have to clean yourself, prepare your face, put your hair up, put on makeup, and change your clothes this morning. All of this will take time." Nanny Wei seemed to see what she was thinking and explained patiently.

Lin Xijin got up, rinsed her mouth and washed her face, and then Qi Po brought her a bowl of egg noodles that she cooked herself. It was a big bowl full of noodles, with four poached eggs on top.

"Auntie Qi, why do you cook so much?" Lin Xijin asked curiously.

"Just eat half of it. This way your parents' family will have some, and your husband's family will be rich." Grandma Qi said seriously.

Oh, so the truth is here, she didn't understand the old woman's intention. But she would not go against the good intention of the old lady, and really only ate half of it.

After eating, the maids had filled a bathtub with flower petal water and Lin Xijin soaked herself in it. Although she usually didn't like being served, today she let Mingshu, Minghua and Qiuyan toss her around.

After taking a bath and wringing out her hair, she put on a fragrantly scented undershirt and then began the makeup process. The makeup artist used two silk threads to help her clean the hair on her face, and now her skin, which was so soft and delicate, was like a peeled egg, smooth and moist.

The happy old lady invited today is the old lady of the Imperial Tutor, and she volunteered. Originally, the old lady Shangguan also wanted to be the one, but in the end, she felt that the old lady of the Imperial Tutor had a daughter of a noble concubine, who was more glorious than herself, and her children and grandchildren were more promising than her own, so she was willing to retreat to the second line and serve as a foil. But she also kept worrying about it as if she were marrying off her granddaughter herself.

"One comb brings the golden phoenix, two combs bring auspiciousness, three combs bring respect to the husband and wife, four combs bring good health, five combs bring a house full of descendants, and six combs bring long-lasting blessings." Old man Quanfu said auspicious words while combing his hair.

"Our Jin'er is getting married today. She must take advantage of the old lady's blessings and become as blessed with wealth, fortune and longevity as she is." Grandma Liu and the others said auspicious words.

The old lady of the Imperial Tutor was delighted to hear this, and deftly tied up Lin Xijin's long hair. Her beautiful face was revealed, showing her stunning beauty.

Lin Xijin did the makeup on her face herself. She didn't want to wear that heavy bridal makeup.

Light eye shadow, pink lip gloss, and elegant makeup.

In order to highlight the bright red wedding dress, her blush is a little thicker than usual, and paired with a gentle smile on her lips, she looks like a pink lotus blooming in the summer morning.

Finally, she put on the phoenix crown and bridal robe designed for her by Murong Xu. A bride as dazzling as a star appeared, so beautiful that it was hard to take your eyes off her.

"Jin'er, you are so beautiful. Although I am a woman, I want to marry you home." Mrs. Lin, who was standing aside, looked at her without blinking and joked.

"Jin'er, I really want to be a man and marry you home." Mrs. Wu said more bluntly.

"What are you thinking, you little sluts? If a man turns out to be his, it will be your turn to marry him? Our Jin'er is so precious!" Old Lady Shangguan scolded with a smile.

No one was angry, they just covered their mouths and laughed.

Lin Xijin was busy making preparations, and the people in the palace were no less busy.

The sky gradually turned pale, and Murong Xu could no longer bear it in bed and got up.

Probably because he was too excited last night, Murong Xu had two panda eyes.

In order to make himself look radiant, he decided to follow the makeup girl's advice and put on some makeup.

Not to mention, Murong Xu, who usually wears black and white clothes, looks as dazzling as the rising sun in the groom's suit, and is indescribably masculine and handsome.

The brilliant sunshine of early winter filled the land, and the mighty bells of Kyoto rang out. After offering sacrifices to the ancestors and paying respects to his father, the emperor, the empress, and the empress dowager, the wedding procession was ready to set off.

"Your Highness, please mount your horse and play music—" the ceremonial officer gave the order.

The wedding procession set out in a grand procession. The honor guard was in front, followed by the drum and music band, playing music and making a great scene. There were also servants carrying wedding money and wedding cakes and throwing them along both sides of the road.

Murong Xu rode a tall chestnut horse covered in red and decorated with colorful ribbons, and behind him followed a wedding sedan carried by sixteen people.

Murong Xu knew that the moment of marrying his beloved Jin'er had finally arrived.

Behind the wedding sedan were two strange horse-drawn carriages. The boards around the carriages were pulled down and decorated with colorful silks.

Behind the carriage were two rows of guards in uniform and brand new attire, ninety-nine people in each row. They wore red flowers on their chests and rode on tall horses covered with red silk. They looked dignified yet festive, and surprisingly harmonious.

As soon as you leave the palace gate, the streets on both sides are crowded with people watching the excitement, and the atmosphere is as lively as a boiling oil pan.

On the road that the wedding procession had to pass, people who were watching the excitement filled both sides of the street. Teahouses and restaurants were full of people, all talking about the couple's wedding. Some were blessing, some were envious, some were amazed, some were jealous... all kinds of thoughts were there.

The wedding procession arrived at the gate of the Princess's Mansion, the gongs and drums were beaten more vigorously, and firecrackers were set off for a long time. However, they were stopped by General Wu and Lieutenant General Sun. Both of them were military generals, and they not only wanted a red envelope for the opening, but also wanted Murong Xu to enter the gate of the Princess's Mansion under the siege of the two.

Murong Xu made a feint, pretending to attack the two men, and the two men stepped forward to intercept him. Unexpectedly, Murong Xu leaped up, stepped on An Yi's shoulder, flew onto the doorpost, and jumped into the Princess's mansion.

This unexpected leap stunned General Wu and Lieutenant General Sun, but triggered warm applause from the audience.

Murong Xu never considered the sin he had committed. The poor girl in Kyoto had to dream of the prince in fluttering red clothes and high spirits again from then on.

The second main entrance was guarded by Shangguan Rui and Qi Jinghao. They had given enough red envelopes, but they were still not allowed to pass.

"Tell me, how will you make Jin'er happy after marriage? At least six." Shangguan Rui spoke as a representative.

"First, Jin'er will be my only one in this life. Second, love her, respect her, and care about her feelings. Third, give her space to do what she likes. Fourth, face the difficulties in life together and take your own responsibilities. Fifth, Jin'er's money is hers, and my money is hers. Sixth, communicate more, understand more, and put her feelings first."

Murong Xu did not hesitate, and did not care how much uproar these six remarks would cause, how many censors would impeach him for "lacking authority over his husband", and how many girls' hearts would be broken.

Shangguan Rui and Qi Jinghao were touched. It seemed that this man really loved Lin Xijin to the bone! Shangguan Rui patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you have a long way to go. Come on!"

The last door was Lin Xijin's boudoir door, but this door was still out of reach.

This time the gatekeepers were Xingwen, Xingcheng and a group of other boys and Chu Huiyuan and other close friends. They were bombarded with poems urging them to get ready, riddles, couplets and games. Fortunately, the four best men were very capable and Murong Xu was also very talented, so they finally broke through the siege and entered the boudoir.

Lin Xijin was now wearing a red veil. Murong Xu only saw Lin Xijin in red, shining brightly at this moment.

Xihui, Xijia, Xinlan and Yuehe were guarding nearby.

Murong Xu walked lightly, as if afraid to scare Lin Xijin, and held her hand, saying softly: "Jin'er, I'm here to marry you!"

"Brother-in-law, I'll leave my sister in your care from now on." Xihui said reluctantly.

"Brother-in-law, you must be nice to my sister in the future." Xijia and Xihui spoke almost at the same time.

"Brother, bring sister-in-law home quickly." Xinlan and Yuehe's voices were filled with excitement.
