The Charm of a Powerful Woman Spreads Across the World - Chapter 227
Actually, I'm not sure if I like her or him. But at this moment, to avoid turning against him, I'll let him go. Sometimes, being a forgiving older brother is more pleasant than being a terrible lover, or... frustrating.
Mu Wenchen watched the direction he left in, then finally turned and walked back to the pavilion, where he began to play the zither. Tonight would be a sleepless night, so he would let the music accompany him.
The next day, although it was early winter, the temperature was quite high, and the sun was shining brightly, making everyone feel warm and cozy. As a result, everyone's mood was even better.
At this time, the general's mansion was bustling with activity early in the morning. Yuchi Huaiyang, dressed in red, walked around happily.
Lin Yilan was preparing to shed tears, while Yu Chisong beside her had a joyful expression on his face.
"Husband, I'm so happy! What if I can't cry later? I thought Rufeng would never get married, but she's the first one to get married, and she's married so well!" Lin Yilan said happily. Ever since she decided to have Rufeng dress as a man, she had shed countless tears at night, especially when Rufeng went to the battlefield. She felt even more guilty towards her. If Rufeng hadn't gotten married, she wouldn't have been surprised, but now...
What a stunning debut!
"Husband, I really can't cry, I'm so happy," Lin Yilan said again.
Yu Chisong was also delighted and teased, "Don't tell me you can't cry. I bet even Ru Feng is smiling. I wonder what other tricks you two will use to cry your way out of this wedding today."
Lin Yilan just chuckled dryly. When she saw Ruxue again, she frowned and said, "When is that prince coming to marry our Ruxue? It's been dragging on for so long."
Yu Chisong shook his head and said, "One is willing to hit, and the other is willing to be hit. Sigh, let's not interfere in their affairs. Let Ruxue be. I don't want to get involved anymore. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings."
Lin Yilan thought it made sense. Looking at the busy people, she became excited again and said, "I'll go check on Rufeng. I guess she hasn't gotten up yet."
Lin Yilan's worries were wrong. Ru Feng had already gotten up early, having barely slept a wink the night before.
Early in the morning, before Ru Xue arrived, that little girl Murong Yinghe came, crying and sobbing, as if she was very reluctant to let Ru Feng get married.
"Waaah... Rufeng, I can't bear to part with you. Don't get married. Be with me, and I'll treat you very well." She hugged Rufeng and cried, ignoring the face mask on Rufeng's face.
Three black lines immediately appeared on Ru Feng's face, and Zui Yue next to him gave Zui Zhu a wink.
Zui Zhu pushed her away and said, "My senior brother is about to get married, what are you doing here causing trouble?"
"That's right, Zuizhu, send someone to fetch Bai Shaojun." Zuiyue carefully massaged Rufeng's face. Today was her senior brother's big day, and she couldn't let this girl make him look bad. A bride, after all, had to look beautiful; it only happened once in a lifetime.
Nanshan's voice came from outside the door, saying, "Zuizhu, someone is looking for Miss Murong. It's Young Master Bai."
Upon hearing this, Zui Zhu quickly threw Murong Yinghe out and said, "You can talk to her after your senior brother gets married. I don't have time now."
Because Ru Feng had applied a moisturizing product to her face, she could only pretend not to know.
After applying the face mask, Zui Zhu put on her bright red wedding dress. Touching the dress, she looked at Ru Feng and drooled, saying, "Senior brother, you look beautiful!"
"Is it the dress that's beautiful, or the person?" Ru Feng said with a grin. Although she didn't know much about the wedding dress herself, she could tell from its exquisite feel that Wen Chen had specially gone to find it.
"Her clothes are like the rosy clouds, her figure like jade; her makeup is light yet elegant. My sister is much more beautiful than her clothes." A clear, crisp voice came from outside the door; it was Ru Xue.
"Sister, you're here?" Ru Feng said happily.
Ru Xue smiled and said, "I'll help with the makeup too. Mother is busy outside, so we'll take care of this."
"Makeup?" Ru Feng's face scrunched up. "I hate putting things on my face, it makes me a little itchy." She put on some makeup last time for the Beauty Banquet, but it seemed uncomfortable.
Zuiyue understood what Rufeng meant, so she smiled and said, "Then let's put on some light makeup. Anyway, Senior Brother is beautiful without makeup."
"I like hearing that." Ru Feng chuckled.
"Whatever you want, as long as Rufeng is happy. Today is your big day." Infected by everyone's joy, Ruxue also showed a happy smile.
Amidst laughter and conversation, Zuiyue and Zuizhu each placed an exquisitely carved bracelet on Rufeng's wrist. The heavy weight gave Rufeng a real sense of reality. She was truly getting married!
Dressed in a phoenix coronet and wedding gown, Ru Feng looked at the woman in the bronze mirror. Her features were exquisite, with delicate eyebrows and a fine nose. The red mole between her eyebrows was painted as a plum blossom, which complemented the red wedding dress.
"Senior brother is so beautiful!" Zui Zhu exclaimed, cupping her face in her hands. She knew she deserved some credit for it.
Ru Xue snapped out of her daze and laughed, "Indeed beautiful. The groom is lucky to have married our Ru Feng."
“No, from today onwards, we have to call our senior brother Princess! Congratulations, senior brother, congratulations, Princess!” Zuiyue suddenly exclaimed, and soon she joined Zuizhu and the others in joking and laughing.
Just as they were laughing and joking, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly broke out outside, signaling that the auspicious time had arrived.
Lin Yilan rushed in, looked at Rufeng, paused for a moment, and then said happily, "Rufeng, remember to walk slowly and gracefully later, just like your sister. Don't walk like you used to, strutting around like a dragon, or people will laugh at you." With that, she hurried away.
Upon hearing this, Zuiyue quickly added, "Yes, senior brother, remember that."
Ru Feng laughed and said, "Don't worry, it's not like it's the first time I've worn women's clothes." Was she really that untrustworthy?
At this moment, two heavily made-up wedding attendants swayed in from outside, urging as they went, "They're here! They're here! The eight-bearer sedan chair has arrived! Oh dear, why hasn't the princess put on her phoenix crown yet? Come, come, maids, hurry up and put it on the princess..."
A jeweled phoenix crown weighed heavily on Ru Feng's flowing hair, topped with a pearl the size of a goose egg. Twelve long strings of South Sea pearls hung low, partially obscuring her unparalleled beauty. Ru Feng took the wedding attendant's hand and, surrounded by six maids, gracefully stepped across the threshold.
Ru Xue, Zui Yue, Zui Zhu, and the others remained standing in the same spot, watching Ru Feng's wide skirt trail like water across the ground as her elegant figure gradually disappeared into the distance. Suddenly, they all felt a sense of loss.
My little sister is getting married.
Senior brother, you're getting married—
Volume 3, Chapter 168: A Path of Ruthlessness Yet Full of Compassion
Ru Feng didn't know anything about ancient weddings, so she just did whatever others told her to do.
From the other side of the door came her mother's cries, which dampened Ru Feng's joy a little. It was a pity that her mother's head was covered with a red veil and she couldn't see anything.
"Feng'er, I'm here!" Hearing the familiar voice, following the matchmaker's instructions, Ru Feng tremblingly stretched out her hand.
When she reached into Wen Chen's arms and felt his warmth, Ru Feng felt happy. From now on, she would have a brand new home, a home she would build with her beloved.
The onlookers cheered, and many more eyes were fixed on the bride's exposed hand, which was as white as jade, with slender fingers and red nail polish, the red and white complementing each other beautifully.
