Clouds and Moon Shadow

"Please have the groom go to the front to greet the guests first, and let the bride rest for a bit."

The matchmaker quickly added.

Upon hearing this, Mu Yun Chu composed herself, stepped forward and took Gu Qing Yue's hand, "A Yue, you rest and have something to eat first, I'll be back soon."

He spoke in a hurry, afraid that Gu Qingyue would feel uncomfortable, but everyone misunderstood.

"Haha! The groom is getting impatient."

"Ha ha------"

"So eager to get into the bridal chamber?!"

Qin Fang shouted loudly.

Everyone laughed even harder!

"Quick, quick, you've seen enough of the bride, it's time to get out!"

The matchmaker was a well-known shrewd woman in the capital; how could she not seize the opportunity?

She quickly spoke up to shoo everyone away.

After everyone finally pushed and shoved their way out, Zhu Qing quickly closed the door, and Gu Qingyue finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

The veil is off, thank goodness!

"Jiang Wan, Zhu Qing, hurry, hurry and help me change my clothes."

The bride's headdress was very beautiful, but it was also quite heavy, and her neck was almost crooked from the weight.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qing, Jiang Wan, and Granny Ji quickly removed Gu Qingyue's headdress and changed her clothes.

After washing up and putting on a bright red gauze dress, Gu Qingyue felt light and airy. She felt much more comfortable in normal clothes!

After Gu Qingyue ate something, rinsed her mouth, and finished getting ready, Granny Ji took Jiang Wan and Zhu Qing out.

Finally, finally, finally, the room quieted down.

Gu Qingyue looked around, and only then did she feel as if she were slowly waking up from a bustling dream.

She had been to this room once before; the furnishings were very simple.

But things are completely different now.

Red was everywhere: bed curtains, quilts, pillows, dragon and phoenix red candles, gauze curtains, tablecloths, and even the nine-panel screen depicting flowers and the full moon, all adorned with red auspicious knots.

Festive and lively.

Large luminous pearls were placed in the four corners of the room, each pearl housed in an open red box, emitting a soft glow.

Bathed in the red gauze curtains, the room was filled with soft, rosy shadows, a beauty that was intoxicating.

Gu Qingyue took a deep breath, pushed open the side window, and saw a crabapple tree in full bloom.

Behind the crabapple tree is a small flower garden, where all kinds of flowers are blooming in competition, crowded together, which is very fitting for the occasion.

The moonlight, like water, spilled into the quiet courtyard, making everything enchanting.

Smelling the faint fragrance of flowers in the courtyard and listening to the noisy voices in the front yard, Gu Qingyue suddenly felt a sense of peace and happiness wash over her.

She recalled the first time she met Mu Yun Chu in the backyard of the small inn in Rhino Town, the amazement and excitement she felt upon first meeting him.

Although she hadn't seen countless people in her past life, she had met quite a few, but she had never met a man like Mu Yun Chu.

His handsome features were tinged with a hint of determination, and his fragility concealed a fearless spirit. She was probably drawn to this contradictory quality of the young man back then.

Mu Yun Chu!

She chewed on the name repeatedly with the tip of her tongue, and then smiled.

Thinking of their eventual marriage, Gu Qingyue stood up and walked around the room. Her new life was about to begin.

A flowing veil trailed on the ground, her black hair cascading down her back. Bathed in the crimson light, Gu Qingyue's silhouette appeared both ethereal and otherworldly.

When Mu Yun Chu pushed open the door, all she saw was Gu Qing Yue's back.

He stared in disbelief for a moment, then smiled.

"Ayue!"

Gu Qingyue turned around, and their eyes met.

Mu Yun Chu looked at Gu Qing Yue's fair and delicate face and chuckled softly.

He recalled the moment he lifted the veil, the woman's shimmering iris makeup, mature and charming, infinitely alluring; and now, she was like a lotus emerging from the water, breathtakingly beautiful.

Heaven must be smiling upon him, allowing him to have such a woman!

"You're back," Gu Qingyue said, walking over with light steps.

"Have you eaten anything?" Mu Yun Chu asked, noticing the food being removed from the table.

"I've already eaten, I'm not hungry now," Gu Qingyue smiled, her eyes crinkling, revealing a shallow dimple on her cheek, making her look sweet and lovely.

"Then, wait for me, I'll go wash up," Mu Yun Chu said softly, looking at Gu Qing Yue with eager eyes.

"Oh, okay!" Gu Qingyue replied.

After saying that, she realized that tonight was their wedding night, and she couldn't help but blush.

The Li Prince's Palace was built in the southeast corner of the imperial city and occupied a large area.

There was a large lotus lake in the mansion. At this time, there were no lotus flowers in the lake, but a crescent moon was reflected in it.

The pale moon was half-hidden by drifting clouds, and its light poured down from one side, falling precisely on a carved round window in the mansion.

The round window is carved with a picture of colorful clouds chasing the moon, which is quite interesting.

Inside the window, two large red figures, like a cloud or a moon, shimmered brilliantly against the backdrop of the dragon and phoenix wedding candles.

"Ah Yue," Mu Yun Chu said, pulling Gu Qing Yue to sit on the edge of the bed. Together they looked out the window at the clouds and the moon, his heart overflowing with joy.

"Mmm," Gu Qingyue tilted her head and leaned on Mu Yunchu's shoulder.

"Do you remember when we first met?" Mu Yun Chu asked curiously.

But Gu Qingyue still thought about it and said, "You were injured in the backyard of the inn in Rhino Town, and I saved you."

Mu Yun Chu raised her hand and pinched her cheek. "Wrong, it was in the dilapidated temple outside Mingzhi County."

Gu Qingyue looked up in disbelief. "What? How is that possible! I've never seen you before!"

With such a good memory, how could she possibly forget it!

'hehe------'

Mu Yun Chu laughed out loud, "Take out your water pouch with the silver chain."

Gu Qingyue raised an eyebrow, raised her hand, and a water pouch appeared out of thin air in her hand.

Mu Yun Chu reached out and picked it up. "This is for you."

Gu Qingyue: !!!

So, when she came into this world, at her most destitute and miserable moment, it was this man in front of her who saved her!

This is the kind person Rong Qingqing was talking about!

The person who left him the medicine powder and water pouch?!

Gu Qingyue suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment!

She suddenly felt that her time travel seemed to have been scripted or preordained.

This amazing scheme was arranged for her and him!

It wasn't because she saved him in the backyard of the inn that the two first met and encountered each other. Rather, they had already met in the dilapidated temple on that rainy night, on the first day she had transmigrated. He was the one who saved her first!

Gu Qingyue's eyes suddenly became a little moist.

She turned around and hugged Mu Yun Chu tightly around the waist, her voice muffled, "Thank you, Mu Yun Chu."

Mu Yun Chu also raised his arms and hugged her tightly, smelling her sweet fragrance wafting over.

"Ah Yue, thank you for coming here."

Mu Yun Chu lifted the woman's face, his eyes sparkling like shattered starlight. Looking into those radiant phoenix eyes before him, he couldn't help but feel a slight choke in his breath.

The next instant, he rolled over and pressed down on her, their bodies pressed tightly together, and the bed curtains were pulled down by Mu Yun Chu's wave of her hand.

A moment later, a red gauze robe slipped out from under the bed curtains, followed by a red silk undergarment…

Outside the window, the crescent moon, which had been leisurely just moments before, suddenly blushed and disappeared into the clouds.

A gentle breeze rises, carrying the fragrance of flowers.

Inside the bed curtains, spring's beauty is ever-present, embracing all its splendor.

On the table, the dragon and phoenix wedding candles flickered gracefully, like a beautiful melody, its lingering notes soft and melodious…
