The next day, spring came and flowers bloomed. A gentle breeze blew, bringing refreshing floral fragrance. A red sun hung high in the sky, shining brightly.

The general's mansion was extremely lively and everyone was in a festive mood. A sumptuous feast of wine and delicacies was prepared for the distinguished guests.

Today is the wedding day of Princess Zhao Luoshu and General Huo Shaoming. The entire general's mansion is decorated with lights and colorful lanterns. The big red lanterns have the word "囍" pasted on them, which looks particularly pleasing.

This time, the General's Mansion invited many civil and military officials to come and congratulate, and also to add some homely atmosphere to this new mansion bestowed by His Majesty.

Among them, the Taiwei Mansion was also invited.

Song Wanyin did not want to steal the bride's limelight, so she wore a low-key yet decent light pink dress with exquisite peach blossoms embroidered on the hem. She had only a golden tassel hairpin in her hair and a fresh and bright peach blossom on her neckline as an embellishment. Her slender waist, which could be grasped with one hand, was tied with a white jade belt, which highlighted her graceful figure, and every move was graceful.

Song Wanfeng and Hua Muxue were also dressed in gorgeous clothes, looking noble and dignified. The couple walked into the general's mansion hand in hand in love.

The mansion was crowded with people and noisy. Many civil and military officials came with their legitimate sons. They were all dressed in gorgeous clothes, as if they had been carefully dressed up, and their faces were filled with fawning smiles.

They knew very well that the eldest princess Zhao Luoshu was the most beloved jewel in the palm of His Majesty's hand, and they could not bear to see their daughter marry far away as a foreign minister, so they betrothed her to the legitimate son of the Huo family, a descendant of a general.

Unfortunately, less than a year after she married into the Huo family, the Huo family generals led their troops to war, and no one survived except the youngest son Huo Shaoming.

The Huo family has been full of loyal heroes for generations. In order to commemorate the outstanding military exploits of the Huo family generals, His Majesty not only posthumously conferred the title of Grand Tutor of the Nation on General Huo, but also married his beloved eldest princess to Huo Shaoming in order to preserve the Huo family's incense. He is deeply favored and valued by His Majesty.

Whether it is Zhao Luoshu or Huo Shaoming, their words carry great weight in front of His Majesty. If one can get their support, his career will be smooth and his future will be bright.

Song Wanyin followed her brother and sister-in-law to congratulate the newlyweds. When Huo Shaoming saw his brother who had been through thick and thin together before, he greeted Song Wanfeng very warmly.

"Brother Wanfeng, since you returned to Beijing, you haven't come to drink with me anymore."

Song Wanfeng looked at the deputy general who used to follow him, and now he has become a prince consort and married the eldest princess. He was happy for him from the bottom of his heart.

"You're still blaming me, but you didn't ask me to drink either.

Oh, I understand. Now that you've become a royal consort and have married the beauty, have you forgotten about me, your brother?

Hahahaha, I understand. "

Huo Shaoming also laughed heartily:

"Brother Wanfeng, I'm going to give you a few jars of wine later.

We didn't have the chance to drink on the battlefield before, but this time I have to compete with you in drinking capacity."

Zhao Luoshu subconsciously looked at Song Wanyin and was stunned by her stunning appearance.

No matter how exquisitely you dress, everyone will be overshadowed when she appears.

It seems that I have met a strong enemy.

She had heard Zhao Yiran talking about Song Wanyin in her ear many times before. She heard that she was a bad person, jealous, fickle, and cruel. Her first impression of her was not very good.

Song Wanyin always maintained a dignified and skillful posture with a faint smile on her face, but she felt two sharp cold lights coming at her, making her feel like thorns in her back.

She looked up in surprise and happened to meet Zhao Luoshu's dissatisfied gaze. She was extremely puzzled. How did she offend the eldest princess when they first met?

"Your Highness the Princess, I wish you and your husband a happy marriage and a long lasting marriage."

Zhao Luoshu smiled and said sarcastically:

"Are you the emperor's new adopted daughter?"

Song Wanyin nodded slightly and said politely:

"I have been honored by your majesty for being canonized as a county lady. This is a great honor for the Song family."

Zhao Luoshu smiled disdainfully and said:

"My father is really old, and all kinds of people come to claim him as their kin.

Even so, outsiders will always be outsiders and will never be able to become a regular member of the royal family."

Song Wanyin heard that she was hinting at him being a fake, so she laughed instead of getting angry:

“From what the Princess said, is she questioning Your Majesty?

On the day of your wedding, the eldest princess made such a fuss about Your Majesty on such an important occasion, which may have a huge impact.

If someone with ulterior motives spread this to your Majesty's ears, how sad would your Majesty be?"

Zhao Luoshu was speechless for a moment. It felt like her chest was blocked by a ball of anger and she wanted to vent it but couldn't.

"Song Wanyin, you are really a woman with a sharp tongue.

No wonder you can charm all the men and no woman can rival you."

Hua Muxue noticed that the aura between the two of them was not right, and immediately stepped forward to smooth things over:

"Your Highness, I think this bracelet is particularly suitable for your temperament. If you don't mind, why don't you try it on?"

As he spoke, he took out a carefully selected bracelet from his sleeve and presented it in front of her with both hands.

Zhao Luoshu didn't want to make a big fuss because it was her wedding day, so she found a way out, put on the bracelet, and asked in surprise:

"Why is there still a faint fragrance?"

Hua Muxue explained with a smile:

"Because there is a secret hidden inside this bracelet. Open this small hole and you will find a fragrance bead inside."

Song Wanyin saw her sister-in-law diverting the eldest princess's attention while waving at her, indicating that she should leave.

She didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so she wanted to find a place with few people, away from all the disturbance.

At this moment, she noticed that the Duke of England and his legitimate son Chu Hexuan also came to congratulate her. From their casual conversation, she learned that Chu Hexuan came this time to take the opportunity to find a girl of his dreams and start a family.

She couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Chu Hexuan planned to abandon Gu Qingzhi after learning that the Gu family was now in decline?

As we walked, we came to a quieter place, and suddenly a shy female voice came from behind the rockery:

"Master Taifu, I, I want to ask you something."

Xiao Jingheng said expressionlessly:

"Princess Yiran, please respect yourself.

We are a man and a woman talking here alone. If someone sees us, it will affect your reputation."

Zhao Yiran was so shy that she twisted the handkerchief in her hand into a knot and asked cautiously:

"It's okay, there are only two of us here.

Last time I asked someone to bring you a purse embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water. Are you wearing it?"

Since every husband she married died, almost no man dared to marry her, but she was unwilling to do so and did not want to be gossiped about.

She wanted to break the curse and find a husband of her dreams. Xiao Jingheng was the best candidate, and she had been secretly in love with him for a long time.

Xiao Jingheng frowned and said in a naive way:

"What purse? I never take things from women casually."
