The top-level junior sister also wants to act weak today

One month later, in the capital of Yun State.

The gate of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion was opened early, with red silk and lanterns hung high.

In the Marquis' Mansion, Cuiyu and other maids were dressing up Jiang Yingxue.

The morning breeze blew across the golden tassels hanging from Jiang Yingxue's temples, reflecting tiny streams of light.

She was wearing a crimson satin robe with wide sleeves, the lapels of which were embroidered with nine layers of ocean waves in silver thread. Her waist was tied tightly with a black rhinoceros horn belt, outlining her slender waist.

Cuiyu adjusted Jiang Yingxue's headdress and said with a smile, "Miss, you look so beautiful today!"

Jiang Yingxue smiled and said, "Thanks to your dexterity."

"Of course not. Only a face like yours could pull off this makeup look, especially this dress. This is the Wave Chasing Robe that the master spent a fortune crafting. The cascading wave patterns on the hem of the robe symbolize my wife's generosity, which is like the sea embracing all rivers."

Cui Yu continued to joke, "Miss, do you think you can take in a few male chamberlains..."

"What are you talking about?" Jiang Yingxue laughed unhappily twice: "I would never do that kind of thing. Don't let such words reach Yan Chuan's ears in the future."

"Okay, okay, I know that the young lady loves her husband. I used to think how sad it would be for the young lady to leave the mansion after she got married. Fortunately, her husband is marrying into the family, so we can continue to stay in the mansion!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the crowd shouted, "The auspicious time has arrived!"

Jiang Yingxue raised her chin slightly when she heard this: "Let's go, let's go pick up the bride!"

As her voice fell, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly rang out, and the sound of firecrackers was deafening.

She walked out of the Marquis' Mansion, jumped on her horse, her red skirt fluttering, and headed towards the Imperial Master's Mansion in a mighty manner.

Morning dew was still condensed on the bluestone slabs of the street, but the entire street had been wrapped in crimson silk into a winding river.

Both sides of the street were filled with people watching the excitement. In order to see more clearly, some people even went to a teahouse on the street and got a private room, just to stand high up and witness the grand spectacle.

Jiang Yingxue was seen riding a horse in front of the team, with a ceremonial guard stretching for three miles behind her: twelve crimson flags embroidered with silver wave patterns, twenty-four musicians holding harps with scorched tails and phoenix heads, and sixty-four silver-armored guards holding spears leading the way.

Among the crowd, discussions arose one after another.

“It’s spectacular.”

"As expected of a marquis's mansion, it must have cost a lot of money!"

"Don't worry about the money. I heard that because of Miss Jiang's wedding, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince... No, it was His Majesty who gave the Marquisate a lot of rewards. Why are you worrying so much?"

"That's right too."

-

Inside the Imperial Master's Mansion, Yan Chuan had already been dressed neatly. He was wearing a red brocade robe embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns and a jade belt around his waist. He looked extraordinarily handsome.

But at this moment, he was really a little anxious.

Wan Jinan couldn't help laughing when he saw his anxious look. "Yan Chuan, can you please relax a little? If you keep swaying like this, you'll almost make me, your Master, pass out."

Wan Jinan specially picked out a dark purple brocade robe today, which made him look both solemn and elegant.

He sat upright in the seat of honor, holding a celadon teacup in his hand, with a few tender leaves of Biluochun floating on the rim of the cup.

He blew gently on the hot steam on the tea, and the aroma of tea rose up and filled his face with a bit of pride.

Upon hearing this, Yan Chuan stopped and said calmly, "Master, if you feel uncomfortable, just close your eyes."

"Look at what you're saying." Wan Jin'an took a sip of tea. "Actually, you really don't have to be so anxious. I'll explain the process to you. When Yingxue arrives, she'll come in and go through the three levels. After you pass all three, you two can come to me and offer me a cup of tea. Then I'll go with you to the Marquis' Mansion and have a feast."

Upon hearing this, Yan Chuan's expression changed instantly, and his voice was filled with disbelief: "What did you say about passing three levels?"

Seeing Yan Chuan's expression, Wan Jin'an's smile widened. "Oh, this is something I came up with last night. I was worried that the disciple I raised would marry into my family so easily, and I was worried that she wouldn't cherish it. So, I set up three checkpoints in the front, middle, and back halls of the Imperial Master's Mansion. Once you pass through them successfully, I can take you away."

Yan Chuan almost fainted from anger when he heard this. He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and said calmly, "Which three levels are they?"

"Oh my, you kid want me to reveal the answer to the question? You are cheating, I will never tell you!" Wan Jinan slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, his face full of pride.

Yan Chuan said with a cold face: "Master, today is my wedding day, there can't be any mistakes."

"Oh, I know. Don't worry, I will..." Wan Jinan laughed sinisterly twice and said, "It's just a token of my appreciation."

"It's not enough to just show your appreciation!"

As he spoke, Yan Chuan ran to get two teacups and poured tea into them.

Wan Jinan frowned and asked, "What are you doing...?"

"Tea."

Yan Chuan picked up a cup of tea and knelt down. "This cup is from your disciple Yan Chuan. I want to thank you for your upbringing and teaching."

Wan Jinan was a little overwhelmed by Yan Chuan's action, but after all, it was Yan Chuan who offered him the toast, so he took it and drank it without thinking.

Then Yan Chuan brought the second cup of tea: "This one is also for you."

Wan Jinan looked bewildered: "What's the name of this cup?"

He took the tea and drank it, then heard Yan Chuan say, "This cup is for you on behalf of Yingxue."

When Wan Jinan heard this, he was about to spit out the tea, but Yan Chuan covered his mouth and said, "Master, is the tea not tasty?"

Wan Jinan was forced to swallow the tea. As soon as Yan Chuan let go, Wan Jinan angrily shouted, "How can this be! I want to drink the tea Yingxue personally offered me! You! You!"

Wan Jinan choked on his tea and coughed twice: "You are abusing the elderly!"

"Alright, Master, with your looks, even young women would blush. Who would think you're an old man?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant came running over and said, "Master, the people from the Marquis' Mansion are almost at the door. Please get ready. Miss Jiang will be coming in to pick her up soon."

"No need, I'll go."

Yan Chuan knew Wan Jinan. The three small hurdles he mentioned would definitely be very torturous, and he couldn't allow any obstacles to his wedding process.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Chuan turned around and used a spell to immobilize Wan Jinan.

Wan Jinan, who realized it belatedly, froze and widened his eyes. "Y-you-you! Yan Chuan, are you rebelling? How dare you use the immobilization technique on your master?"

Yan Chuan nodded: "I'm sorry."

After saying that, Yan Chuan stepped forward and directly carried Wan Jinan up.

In front of the Imperial Master's Mansion, Jiang Yingxue had just stopped her horse when she saw the door suddenly opened and Yan Chuan carrying her master out of the mansion.

Jiang Yingxue was stunned for a few moments: What's going on?

Yan Chuan glanced at the long line, then jumped and stuffed Wan Jinan into the sedan chair.

Then he turned over and sat directly on Jiang Yingxue's horse.

A warm breath blew from behind: "Let's go, Yingxue, go back home."

Jiang Yingxue blinked and turned to look at the person behind her in disbelief: "Shouldn't I be the one to go in and pick up the bride? Why did you run out? And what's going on, Master?"

Yan Chuan buried his head in Jiang Yingxue's shoulder: "Master set up several checkpoints to stop you. I was worried that he would trip you up, so I used the immobilization technique to bring him over."

"Isn't this bad?" Jiang Yingxue hesitated. "Isn't this too fast?"

"Not fast." Yan Chuan's voice sounded a little aggrieved: "We've waited for so long, and now we don't want to wait even a moment longer. Can we go back to the Marquis' Mansion now?"

"it is good."

Jiang Yingxue smiled and raised her head to look at him: "Go home, Yanchuan, I will take you home."
