The Emperor's uncle loves me! My paranoid wife, don't run away

From then on, the Shen Mansion was crowded with people, and there was no peace and quiet for five days and five nights.

The noble families sent gifts continuously, and the eunuchs in the palace were busy all the time.

Even the Kingdom of Jinlin joined in the fun and gave away millions of taels of gold.

Shen Runing felt that the past few days were like a very long dream.

And she was caught up in this grand dream.

Every day someone sent her gift lists, jade articles, invitations, compliments... It was as if the whole Kyoto was watching her get married.

And she could only be pushed up to the position of "Princess" little by little from "Miss Shen".

But... the more noisy and lively it was, the more confused she felt.

It was as if this grand event did not belong to her.

Looking at the wedding dress made of piled red silk, layer upon layer, the fine embroidery threads were wrapped into a pattern of harmonious love between a crane and a phoenix.

People around me say this is called "a happy marriage for a hundred years."

Shen Runing thought of her past life at an inappropriate time.

The execution ground shrouded in dark clouds...

She was pregnant but had chains piercing her hands and feet...

The Shen family kneeling beside the executioner...

And... the moment before his death, Luo Mian said, "I'm sorry, uncle is late..."

At that moment, Shen Runing understood.

Even though this life has been absurdly unsuccessful, perhaps... I have never been alone.

"Miss! Come and try on your wedding dress!"

Chunzhi walked in quickly, lifting her skirt and waving the shawl in her hand, her voice rising several tones with excitement.

"Tomorrow is the day when the Prince Regent comes to deliver the betrothal gifts and letter of engagement. I'm afraid we'll be busy all day!"

"While you're free tonight, come and try it on! This is the new wedding dress that was delivered today. Hundreds of embroiderers worked day and night for five days to create it."

"If there's something you don't like, you can always change it..."

Chunzhi's voice suddenly brought Shen Runing back to reality from his memories.

The candlelight flickered gently, making the pile of red silk wedding dresses on the table look like a burning fire.

An inexplicable warmth slowly welled up in Shen Runing's heart.

Yes, tomorrow is the day when Luo Mian will come to propose marriage.

According to Tianyan’s custom, the newlyweds cannot see each other for seven days before the wedding, but one day before the wedding, when the man sends the betrothal gift, they can “meet each other first”.

Shen Runing lowered his eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

The man who once knelt and whispered, "The emperor's uncle is late," is finally going to come in the spotlight of everyone's attention to take her as his wife.

Shen Runing turned to look at Chunzhi and responded softly.

"Okay, I'll come right away."

There was a pause.

"Those embroiderers have worked so hard. Remember to ask Dad to reward them with more money."

"Yes, miss!"

Before Spring Solstice could spread out her wedding dress, Summer Solstice and Autumn Solstice rushed in one after another.

"Miss, we are here too!"

Xia Zhi smiled with her eyes curved, holding a plate of freshly steamed golden sand custard pastry in her hand.

"Freshly baked! Come here, miss, fill your stomach!"

"I said summer solstice."

Qiu Zhi put his hands on his hips, looking disgusted.

"Miss, you're trying on your wedding dress, not going to the market. Why are you bringing food?"

Xia Zhi replied unconvinced.

"But the young lady hasn't had dinner yet!"

"Besides, the wedding dress has so many layers of fabric, wouldn't it take some effort to put it on?"

Qiu Zhi suddenly changed the subject, looked over with a wicked smile and raised eyebrows.

"Xia Zhi, you have to learn the process of the young lady's wedding carefully this time. Maybe Mu Shan will come to marry you one day!"

Xia Zhi's face turned slightly red.

"me--"

Then he quickly put down the pastry in his hand, put his hands on his hips, and fought back unwillingly.

"You're still talking about me! Qiu Zhi!"

"The news of you and Yunshui's 'secret marriage' has spread all over the backyard!"

"I think I need to prepare the money first!"

This time, Qiu Zhi was completely choked. His eyes widened and his mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Everyone in the room was silent for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

Shen Runing laughed so hard that tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and the worry between her brows disappeared as she joked softly.

"When did this happen? Why didn't I know about it?"

"Miss, stop laughing!"

Qiu Zhi finally managed to utter a word.

"It was Xia Zhi who bullied me!"

Everyone laughed even more.

At this moment, a lazy voice suddenly came from the beam.

"I can testify that Xia Zhi wasn't lying. Yun Shui asked Qiu Zhi a few days ago, 'Do you really want to get married?'"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Zhi threw himself on Chun Zhi.

"Can you please take care of your Liu Qing?"

Spring comes and spreads its hands.

"Oh, you know that Liu Qing is the boss of our family..."

Several people were talking to each other, and the room suddenly became lively.

Of course, Shen Runing had known about Yunshui and Qiuzhi for a long time.

If the two can really get together in the future, Shen Runing will support it.

Yunshui is a man worthy of trust.

Shen Runing smiled and said silently in his heart,

——I’m sorry, I made you suffer so much in the last life, you must be happy in this life.

Just then, footsteps were heard outside again.

The door curtain was lifted, and two figures stepped into the room almost one after the other.

Shen Li spoke first.

"Ning'er, it's so lively here!"

Then came Shen Kuo's voice.

"I heard Ning'er is going to try on her wedding dress, how can she leave us out?"

Shen Runing's eyes curved with laughter immediately.

"Eldest brother, second brother, why are you here?"

"I heard that this wedding dress is 'Phoenix and Luan Flying Together'. As the second brother, I have to see with my own eyes how beautiful Ning'er looks in it."

After a pause, he added another sentence.

"See it before Luo Mian..."

After Shen Li finished speaking, he tidied Shen Runing's hair with a gentle look on his face.

At this time, Shen Kuo on the side touched his cuffs, took out a small brocade box wrapped in a brocade handkerchief, and handed it to Shen Runing.

"Come, Ning'er."

"I prepared this a few years ago and have always wanted to give it to you when you get married."

Shen Runing was slightly startled, took the brocade box with both hands, and gently opened it with his fingertips.

Lying quietly in the box was a pair of warm and translucent mutton-fat jade earrings, with patterns of fine flowing clouds and flower branches shallowly engraved on them.

The word "Ning" is faintly engraved on the back of the coin on the right, almost blending into the jade color. If you don't look closely, you can't notice it at all.

"This is……"

"When you were little, you always clamored for beautiful jewelry."

Shen Kuo looked at Shen Runing.

"Later, I personally searched for this pair of jades and hired the best jade craftsman to polish and carve them for three years. I'll keep them for you to wear when you marry your sweetheart."

"I didn't understand it then."

Shen Kuo chuckled.

"I just think that no matter who you marry in the future, it must be glorious and beautiful."

Shen Runing felt a warmth in her heart, and she gently held the earring in her palm and whispered,

"Thank you, brother."

……

It was dark outside the window.

The moonlight slanted down on the eaves, revealing three shadows squatting beneath the window, motionless, like three chicken thieves.

"Clouds and water."

"Um... Master?"

Yunshui shuddered and his back straightened.

"You go with nothing in your hands and ask a girl if she wants to get married?"
