The Cloud Feather of the Red Chamber: A Marriage Arranged with Gong Yuanzheng at the Start

When Jia Min woke up and saw Gong Shangjiao, Gong Yuanzheng, and Lin Qingyue coming to Zheng Palace, she was stunned.

Yue'er didn't rest at Zheng Palace last night?!

Before she could finish being shocked, Gong Zishang also arrived at Zheng Palace, with a huge food box behind her.

Jia Min almost couldn't maintain her smile.

After hearing Gong Shangjiao's explanation, Jia Min felt a pang of sadness.

She was somewhat envious of the familial bonds within the palace, especially when she thought about her current relationship with her two older brothers.

All that's left are holiday greetings.

Especially her relationship with her second brother, which was almost completely severed.

With Wu Feng's downfall, the truth about Lady Wang's poisoning could no longer be concealed.

Upon further investigation, all the sordid things she had done were uncovered.

Jia Zheng wanted to divorce Lady Wang on the spot, but was stopped by Grandmother Jia. Instead, Lady Wang was confined to the family temple to practice Buddhism.

Firstly, it was for Baoyu and Yuanchun, and secondly, it was because of Prince Teng.

Wang Ziteng was not involved in Wu Feng's affairs, and since the new emperor was short of people, he was also transferred to the capital.

Even if he didn't reach the high position depicted in Dream of the Red Chamber, he was still a close advisor to the emperor.

Afterwards, Jia Zheng wrote her a letter of apology, and Grandmother Jia also sent a letter to Yangzhou, along with many generous gifts.

But once a rift has formed, it is not so easy to bridge.

The relationship between the Lin family and the Jia family is destined to never return to what it was before.

Looking at these younger relatives, Jia Min had a feeling that the relationship between the three siblings in the Gong family would never become like that between her and her two older brothers.

The day soon arrived when Lin Qingyue came of age.

Originally, the honorary guest was supposed to be a highly respected and distinguished female elder, but now Jia Min has to take the stage herself.

"The month is an auspicious day. Beginning to add Yuanfu. Abandon your ambitions. Follow you and become virtuous. Longevity test is only for Qi. Jieer Jingfu."

As Jia Min inserted the hairpin into Lin Qingyue's hair, she looked at the elegant young girl in front of her, feeling both proud and a little heartbroken.

The girl I cherished has grown up.

She's getting married soon.

I can't think about it anymore; the more I think about it, the heavier my reluctance becomes.

Jia Min helped Lin Qingyue, who was kneeling on the ground, to her feet. "Good child, go back to your room and rest for a while."

The wedding is coming up soon.

As dusk approached, lanterns and colorful decorations adorned the palace gates, red silk fluttered in the breeze, and the sounds of gongs and drums filled the air.

Gong Yuanzheng, dressed in a red robe and with his long hair tied up with a golden crown, stood majestically at the entrance of the Zhiren Hall.

Overcoming Qingyu's obstruction was effortless for Gong Yuanzheng; the naive little boy opened the door with just a few words of coaxing.

When they arrived at the door, they encountered Daiyu blocking the way, and Gong Yuanzheng immediately perked up.

He knew that Yu'er was somewhat dissatisfied with his request for imperial permission.

Yue'er's favorite child is this younger sister, so he absolutely cannot afford to offend her.

Daiyu glanced at Gong Yuanzheng a few times and said slowly, "Recite a poem to urge you to get ready for your wedding."

"Huh?" Gong Yuanzheng was shocked. It was that easy?

Daiyu opened her eyes wide. She knew you were bad at poetry, so she stopped letting you compose poems yourself. You can't even recite poems?

Gong Yuanzheng snapped out of his daze, overjoyed, and immediately began to memorize it.

"It is said that rouge is mixed under the candlelight, and spring is created before the mirror. There is no need to make up the face, just leave the eyebrows for the painter to draw."

Having witnessed Gong Yuanzheng and Lin Qingyue's interactions, Daiyu naturally understood the true meaning of Gong Yuanzheng's poem.

He wanted to draw Lin Qingyue's eyebrows for the rest of his life.

She glanced at Gong Yuanzheng and made way for the door behind her.

The door opened, and a young girl dressed in a red wedding gown sat gracefully inside.

The exquisitely embroidered red veil covered the girl's face, and Gong Yuanzheng could only see her fair chin.

This is his bride, his wife, the one he will spend his life with.

Without the slightest hesitation, Gong Yuanzheng lifted Lin Qingyue up in his arms.

Lin Qingyue seemed to have guessed his actions, and without panic, she naturally put her arm around Gong Yuanzheng's shoulder.

Gong Yuanzheng kept walking and soon arrived at Zheng Palace.

The courtyard was filled with the fragrance of flowers.

Gong Yuanzheng carried Lin Qingyue directly to the main hall.

The two men respectfully bowed before the memorial tablets of Gong Yuanzheng's parents.

"Send to the bridal chamber!"

With that shout, Gong Yuanzheng carried Lin Qingyue toward his room.

Looking at Gong Yuanzheng's retreating figure, Gong Shangjiao was filled with countless emotions.

The child he raised has gotten married, which puts one of his worries to rest.

Once Yuanzheng has a child, his life will be complete.

Jia Min wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. She had been mentally prepared and knew that her daughter had married a good man.

But she couldn't help feeling reluctant to part with her. From now on, her Yue'er would no longer be a daughter of the Lin family, but a wife of the Gong family.

The celebrations at the palace gates did not end there. Regardless of whether they were on the front or back hills, all the servants and guards received an extra three months' worth of bonuses.

Gong Shangjiao even held a three-day banquet in the Old Dust Valley.

The next day, Jia Min, who was having breakfast with Daiyu and Qingyu, saw the young couple who came together.

Jia Min looked at Lin Qingyue's behavior with a strange expression.

Because Gong Yuanzheng was present, Jia Min could only suppress all her doubts.

As soon as Gong Yuanzheng left, Jia Min immediately pulled Lin Qingyue into the inner room, her face full of worry.

"Yue'er, tell me honestly, did you not... with Yuanzheng last night...?"

Lin Qingyue instantly understood Jia Min's meaning. She lowered her head, looking slightly shy.

"Mother, Yuanzheng is a doctor. He is well-versed in medical books and knows that it's not good to have sex too early..."

The following words were spoken softly, but Jia Min understood what she meant.

She put aside her worries and was happy for her daughter, knowing that her husband truly loved her.

Upon seeing Gong Yuanzheng arrive, Gong Shangjiao was somewhat puzzled. Shouldn't Yuanzheng, who had just gotten married, be by his new wife's side?

Gong Yuanzheng stood in front of Gong Shangjiao, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Brother, let's resolve the matter of the supernatural beings as soon as possible."
