Quick Transmigration: The Pregnant Little Fairy is Pampered by the Heirless Boss
Chapter 6 The General's Little Darling
The Ji family members had been waiting outside the mansion gate for a long time. Seeing such a grand betrothal procession, they were filled with joy and emotion.
Isn't this much more impressive than the Song family's betrothal ceremony back then?
Ji's father smiled, his eyes filled with satisfaction;
Madam Ji's eyes reddened with emotion. She gently took Ji Xiaosong's hand and said, "Ah Song, General Xiao is so devoted to you. You must live a good life with him in the future."
"Don't worry, Mother, I'm not an unreasonable person."
As soon as the two finished speaking, Xiao Shen walked up to Ji's father, bowed respectfully, and said, "Lord Ji, I have come today to offer my betrothal. I hope the Ji family will agree to this marriage. I will cherish A-Song and never leave her."
Ji's father quickly helped Xiao Shen up and said with a smile, "General Xiao, you are too kind. My Ji family certainly believes in your sincerity."
Afterwards, the soldiers carried the betrothal gifts into the Ji residence one by one, and the joyful laughter of the crowd echoed throughout the mansion.
Outside the mansion, the common people who had followed along finally understood which family the Xiao family was betrothing to.
The sounds of conversation rose and fell, even louder than before.
"It's actually the eldest daughter of the Ji family? Wait, isn't their eldest daughter supposed to marry into the Song family next month? Why is General Xiao here to propose marriage?"
"Oh, you didn't know about this, did you? That imperial edict was posted on the city gates, the drum tower, and many markets early yesterday morning. The Song family's son got a woman outside pregnant before his wife even entered the family, so His Majesty simply ordered the Song family and the Ji family to sever their marriage ties to avoid delaying each other."
"This is not a delay, it is clearly a rescue of Miss Ji."
"Who can argue with that? The Ji family only has one daughter, so they cherish her dearly. How could they allow the Song family to insult and abuse her like this?"
"This Miss Ji is truly blessed! To be so highly regarded by General Xiao, the betrothal gifts are almost dazzling."
"I think General Xiao is quite fortunate. Madam Ji is capable of carrying twins, and more importantly, she gave birth to them both safely. Perhaps Miss Ji can do the same. If General Xiao can have offspring, then such a large dowry will be well worth it."
"Who can argue with that! It's been a long time since we've seen such a grand betrothal ceremony in our capital. Compared to this, the Song family's previous betrothal ceremony was nothing."
"General Xiao is a handsome and accomplished general, and Miss Ji is gentle, quiet, and beautiful. They are a perfect match."
"From now on, the Ji family's status in the capital will likely rise even higher. With General Xiao as their son-in-law, who would dare to provoke them so easily?"
Everyone was talking at once and the discussion was heated.
Those who initially led everyone to speak well of the Ji family gradually dispersed.
They changed their clothes and entered through the side gate of the Xiao family's residence.

The ninth day of the following month is an auspicious day for marriage.
The capital was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and filled with joyous celebrations.
Ji Xiaosong, dressed in a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, her gold and red wedding gown embroidered with exquisite patterns, her pearls and jade swaying and shining, her makeup bright and beautiful, sat gracefully in the bridal chamber.
"Rongrong, this is my first time getting married. I didn't expect it to be so complicated. But the clothes I'm wearing today are quite beautiful. When I leave this world, I want to take my wedding dress with me."
"Alright, alright, whatever you say. I thought our first world mission would be a bit difficult, but we got married so easily. How about you make arrangements tonight so she gets pregnant right in the first month?"
"No, we'll have to wait until next month at least. Xiao Shen has always had difficulty conceiving, so while it's a happy occasion that I'm the first one to get pregnant, my past with Song Yuxi will cause gossip."
"What you say makes sense. If you conceived Xiao Shen's child so easily, people will definitely say the child is likely Song Yuxi's, and that you married into the Xiao family because you couldn't accept him having someone else first. Since Xiao Shen is unlikely to have any children anyway, you might as well have one child from the other."
"Yes, Xiao Shen is the father of my future child, so I cannot let myself become a stain on his reputation, and I cannot let my child be subject to any slander in the future."
[Ah Song is so thoughtful. You'll have children sooner or later anyway, no rush.]
"Alright, that's enough. Xiao Shen will be here soon."
When the auspicious hour arrived, the wedding procession came in a grand procession, with horses adorned in red and exquisitely decorated sedan chairs.
Xiao Shen dismounted and entered the Ji residence. Then, he led Ji Xiaosong to pay their respects to Ji's parents.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, and three brothers, rest assured, once A-Song arrives at our Xiao family, I will give her the best I can."
With tears welling in his eyes, Ji's father said with relief, "General Xiao, our Ji family entrusts Asong to you because we trust you can protect her. We hope that you two will support each other and walk hand in hand through thick and thin."
Mother Ji's eyes were already brimming with tears. She held Ji Xiaosong's hand and said with reluctance but firmness, "A-Song, you have been spoiled since childhood. From now on, you must be considerate of the General and live a good life together."
The three elder brothers of the Ji family also looked solemn. The eldest brother said in a deep voice, "General Xiao, if Asong suffers even the slightest grievance, we will not let this go."
The second brother chimed in, "Little sister, if anything happens to you in the Xiao family, be sure to tell us. Your brothers will always be your support."
Third Brother patted Xiao Shen on the shoulder: "General, treat A Song well, don't let her down."
Xiao Shen agreed to everything. Ji Xiaosong was moved, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she held back her tears and nodded firmly.

At the Xiao family residence, a red carpet was laid out, and candles were lit brightly.
The emperor and empress sat at the head of the table, their faces beaming with smiles and full of expectation.
The officials sat on both sides of the table, including Song Yuxi, who had been invited by the emperor.
His marriage has become the biggest headache for Song's mother. No family in the entire capital that loves their daughter would marry him.
Every woman available to choose from now on has various problems.
The hundred concubines in the backyard and the Yue Niang who caused trouble every few days because of her pregnancy gave Song's mother and Song Yuxi a real headache.
Attending this wedding banquet would be the emperor slapping Song Yuxi in the face again.
As Xiao Shen and Ji Xiaosong walked to the front of the hall, they bowed to heaven and earth, to their parents, and to each other in response to the master of ceremonies' announcements.
Hatred surged in Song Yuxi's eyes, and his eyes were slightly red with anger and resentment.
Once everyone was seated, a barrage of sarcastic remarks followed.
The emperor bestowed a marriage upon Xiao Shen and summoned Song Yuxi, wasn't that just to let others kick him when he was down?
"Why is Young Master Song here today? Is he still worried about Miss Ji?"
"Speaking of which, today should have been a good day for Young Master Song, but it turns out that Young Master Song has been the one to give General Xiao his due."
"Young Master Song, could it be that you've come here to reminisce about your past relationship with Miss Ji? It's a pity, there's no medicine for regret in this world."
"I've heard that Young Master Song's mansion is now filled with beauties, with a hundred concubines accompanying him, and a delicate pregnant concubine. With such good fortune, why does his face still look so unpleasant?"
"Young Master Song, look at General Xiao and Miss Ji, they are a perfect match, a match made in heaven. Don't you have a few words of blessing for them?"
"Back then, Young Master Song was full of vigor and had a marriage agreement. Who could have imagined that he would end up in such a state? Truly, life is unpredictable."
"Young Master Song, are you here to attend the wedding banquet, or to provide entertainment for everyone?"
