Xiao Yibai walked to Mu Xiyue's side and asked, "What did your brother-in-law give you? Do you want me to look at it with you?"

Mu Xiyue threw the book into the space, her face a little hot, "Nothing, just a book."

Xiao Yibai knew what book it was as soon as he heard it. It was really difficult for this brother-in-law. He put his arm around Mu Xiyue's waist and deliberately leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Why don't you wait until tonight and let me read it with you. Don't let your brother-in-law down."

Mu Xiyue's face turned redder and she pushed his head away, "Pervert!"

Xiao Yibai laughed softly and hugged her tighter. He liked teasing her more and more. He liked seeing her blush and be shy. It was so cute!

There is only one master, Mu Xiyue, in the Princess's Mansion, and there is no elder to take care of the wedding. The housekeeper and his wife and Xiao Tao are extremely busy.

There are still three days before the wedding. The Queen Mother is afraid that Mu Xiyue doesn't have enough people to handle the situation, so she sends Nanny Wang to the Princess's Mansion to help with the wedding arrangements.

Mu Xiyue, the bride-to-be, felt more and more idle as the wedding day approached. Seeing that everyone in the mansion was busy all the time, she didn't know what she could do, so she just sat around and gained weight.

Finally it was the fifth day of October.

Before dawn, Mu Xiyue was pulled out of the quilt by Xiaotao.

"Miss, it's time to get up. It's almost dawn. Guyu, come in and help you wash up."

Mu Xiyue tossed and turned last night and couldn't sleep. Now she felt like she was woken up just as she fell asleep.

"Xiao Tao'er, is it necessary to come so early? We're just next door, just a few steps away."

Having said that, she still used her special ability to comb her meridians, and she became completely awake.

Xiao Tao grumbled in frustration, "Miss, have you forgotten? The prince said the bridal sedan chair should go around the city once. Besides, how can a bride sleep until she wakes up naturally?"

There is no custom in Tianqi Country that the bride cannot eat on her day. After Mu Xiyue finished washing up, Bai Lu brought her breakfast.

Breakfast is two buns and two boiled eggs. I can’t eat food that is too watery today to avoid having to go to the toilet frequently.

Mu Xiyue followed their arrangements and felt safe with Nanny Wang around.

Ladies and young ladies from various families came one after another to add makeup. Mu Xiyue didn't even know some of them, but with Nanny Wang around, she didn't have to worry about them.

It took Mu Xiyue an hour and a half to change into her wedding dress and put on makeup. She was almost dozing off when she finally heard the palace maid who came to put on makeup say it was okay.

Mu Xiyue opened her eyes and looked at the bronze mirror. The woman in the mirror had beautiful eyebrows and eyes like a painting, and her skin was fair and delicate, as smooth and flawless as mutton-fat jade. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was so beautiful that she could topple a country.

The climate and soil of Shangjing City are indeed good for health. Mu Xiyue used to have a darker skin tone and didn't dress up much. Although her facial features were good, she didn't look stunning at first sight. Now, the beauty in the mirror is like a fairy from heaven, and Mu Xiyue is fascinated by herself.

Xiao Tao looked at Mu Xiyue who had finished her makeup and exclaimed, "Miss, you are so beautiful today. The prince will definitely be unable to take his eyes off you."

The two palace maids also smiled and praised, "The princess's makeup is truly unmatched. It's no exaggeration to say that she is the most beautiful woman in the capital."

Mu Xiyue smiled and winked at Xiaotao. Xiaotao understood and took out two purses from the side and stuffed them into the two palace maids.

"Thank you for your hard work, aunts!"

The person who came to comb Mu Xiyue's hair was the wife of the Marquis of Jing'an, Qi Heng's mother. Xiao Yibai had personally invited her after the wedding date was set.

The wife of Marquis Jing'an looked elegant and kind. As soon as she entered the room, she smiled and said, "The princess is so beautiful. It's really a bargain for that boy Yibai."

Mu Xiyue smiled and said, "Madam, you praised me so much that I feel proud. Thank you so much for today!"

The wife of the Marquis of Jing'an smiled gently, "My Lady, there's no need to be polite with me. I had some friendship with your mother when she was still alive, and my Marquis was also half-master of Prince Jin."

The way she combed her hair was similar to the costume dramas she had watched before. She said auspicious words while combing her hair, and finally she combed her hair into a beautiful bridal bun.

A quarter of an hour later, Guyu, who was waiting outside, came in and said that the prince's sedan chair had arrived. Xiaotao immediately put a phoenix crown on Mu Xiyue's head and covered her with a red veil.

Mu Xiyue felt her head suddenly become heavy, her eyes were red, and her nose suddenly felt sore.

In her previous life, the apocalypse arrived, and her parents and relatives perished at the hands of zombies. They didn't get to see her grow into a powerful figure in the apocalypse. Now, she's married herself two years after arriving here. They should be able to rest in peace in heaven!

Tan Tai Hong had stayed at the Princess's Mansion for the first time last night, and this morning he had risen early to help entertain the guests. It was customary in the Tianqi Kingdom for the elder brother or younger brother to carry the bride on his back, but Tan Tai Hong, not being a biological brother, had to avoid suspicion. Standing outside the house, he saw Mu Xiyue coming out, supported by Xiao Tao, and smiled and complimented her.

"Sister, you look especially beautiful today!"

Mu Xiyue was covered with a veil and could only see Tan Taihong's feet. She smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work today, big brother!"

"I can't help much, my brother-in-law is waiting, let's go!"

Only Tan Taihong dared to call Xiao Yibai his brother-in-law so casually. Everyone around him secretly wondered what the identity of Mu Xiyue's elder brother was.

Xiao Yibai stood at the door. When he saw Mu Xiyue stepping out of the threshold, he picked her up and said, "My wife, your husband is here to pick you up!"

A magnetic voice came into my ears, and a smile spread across the face under the red veil.

After Xiao Yibai carried Mu Xiyue into the bridal sedan, he climbed onto the horse's back and said, "Let's go!"

With drums and music leading the way, the sedan chair passed through the busiest streets and circled for half an hour before returning to the gate of the palace.

The dowry procession also followed the sedan chair around half the city, causing the onlookers to exclaim in amazement. There were a total of 166 dowry carriages.

Xiao Yibai said that the Empress Dowager's original dowry was 188 loads. Mu Xiyue could certainly prepare more, but it would not be good if it was too ostentatious. However, Xiao Yibai's betrothal gift was 88 loads, and it would not look good if the dowry was less, so he prepared 166 loads.

The sedan stopped, and Xiao Yibai didn't kick the door as per custom. Instead, he lifted the curtain himself and carried the bride out. The crowd watching the excitement was in an uproar, some in admiration, some in envy.

Mu Xiyue asked quietly: "Why didn't you kick the sedan door?"

Nanny Wang explained to her the wedding process and the meaning of kicking the sedan door.

The groom kicking the sedan door has been a traditional custom since ancient times. It is intended to demonstrate the husband's absolute status in the family and to give the bride a warning before she enters.

How could Xiao Yibai be willing to show off to Mu Xiyue? He didn't put her down, but carried her directly over the brazier and walked inside. As he walked, he whispered in her ear: "Why kick the sedan door? From now on, the palace is under the control of my wife, and I will obey her."

When the person was carried into the main hall, the emperor and empress were sitting at the top, and even the empress dowager was sitting on one side. Mu Xiyue knew that the emperor would come to watch the ceremony, but she didn't expect that the empress dowager would come out of the palace to watch the ceremony in person.

The process of worshipping in the hall is the same as that of ordinary families. After three bows, the bride and groom are sent to the new house.

A maidservant was holding a tray with a jade ruyi in her hands. Xiao Yibai picked up the jade ruyi and gently lifted the red veil. Mu Xiyue's brows were full of tenderness and shyness, and her usual heroism was gone. Under the dim candlelight, she looked particularly charming and attractive.

The red makeup embellishes her delicate face, just like peach blossoms blooming in spring, her fair face is shy and eloquent, and her jade-like beauty is unparalleled.

Xiao Yibai's throat tightened when he saw this. He put the jade ruyi back on the plate and then raised his hand to touch Mu Xiyue's cheek, "My lady, you look especially beautiful today!"

Mu Xiyue also looked up at him intently. She wore a jade crown on her head and a bright red wedding gown with elaborate dragon and phoenix designs embroidered on the collar and cuffs. She wore a golden belt around her waist. She looked clean and bright. Her face was like a sculpture, with distinct features, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, making it impossible to look away.

"My husband is particularly handsome today!"

Xiao Yibai raised the corner of his lips and signaled the bridesmaid waiting in the bridal chamber to complete the formalities, including sitting in the wedding tent, spreading the bed curtains, sharing the same cellar, drinking the wedding wine, and tying the wedding knot.
