Chapter 281
Lin Residence…
Today, the Lin Family plaque was hung with red silk, and people dressed in black were shuttling back and forth inside the Lin Family mansion. Since the Lin Family mansion had just been completed, the people inside did not do anything.
One must know that Lin Jia Yu had never been lenient when he was training them. Now that such a big event had finally occurred, all of them were here for the sake of making a ruckus.
“Hey, this isn’t for us to take away, hurry up and put it in!” Yi Yin commanded the crowd. The Lin Clan had no steward, so it was impossible for him to come over. Just when Lin Jia Er was busy with work, she said that she wanted to help. Shang didn’t have the heart to think about it. It was a good thing to let Yi Yin do what she wanted.
The Blood Shang Army soldiers hurriedly carried the goods into the house. Yi Yin looked at the things inside and saw that there was nothing wrong with them. She then saw Lin Jia Er pacing left and right and immediately said, “The auspicious hour has not arrived yet? It’s time to pick up the bride! ”
When Lin Jia Er saw Yi Yin, he smiled and said, “Madam Ye, the auspicious hour will come soon!” In fact, Lin Jia Er was extremely anxious and wanted to immediately go to the palace to bring Nangong Lian back. However, he was still very grateful for the help from Yinyin, who had given him face in a certain aspect.
Yi Yin looked at Lin Jia Er’s nervous face as she thought about her son’s marriage. She didn’t know what he looked like, but in reality, she had her own selfish motives in coming here to help. She wanted to go through all of these things once and for all so that she could deal with them no matter what happens in the future.
As compared to the hustle and bustle of the Lin Residence, the Crown Prince’s Residence was much quieter. Shang Wuxin did not wake up until late in the night, but was missing a person for breakfast. Since Nangong Lian was married out of the palace, Nangong Qian had left early. Originally, the news of Nangong Qian’s arrival in Shang Yue had been kept a secret. However, now that news of Nangong Lian’s marriage had been leaked and King Qian had come to the State of Shang, Nangong Qian had appeared in broad daylight today.
Halfway through his breakfast, Shang Wuxin suddenly asked, “Have you prepared the wedding gift?” For the past few days, Shang had totally forgotten about this matter. The one who was getting married was his subordinate, and the other was his man’s sister. There was no way to deny this wedding present.
“Xin Er has already given her a manor. This wedding isn’t big enough!” Han Xuanhao said in dissatisfaction. Even though the house did not pose much of a threat to Shang, it was still a huge gift to anyone. Han Xuanhao did not wish for Shang to worry too much about others.
Shang Wuxin picked up the dish and placed it into Han Xuanhao’s bowl. As expected, Han Xuanhao started to eat without a word.
“Don’t worry, Crown Prince. The wedding is ready. I won’t be rude to you!” He had already prepared for this long ago. However, even if the crown prince did not send any congratulatory gifts, Lin Jia Er would not have any complaints.
Shang Wuxin looked at Han Xuanhao and was about to say something when he saw Han Xuanhao speak, “Xin’er, don’t worry. I’ll go with a woman today.” Ever since Shang’s words that day, Han Xuan Hao’s heart calmed down. Now, he felt that there was nothing to be worried about. Even if he couldn’t stand by Shang’s side with his true face, he would not stay in the mansion.
After some deliberation, Shang Wuxin uttered a few words: “I have wronged you!” She was not used to saying such words, but a seven-foot-long man wearing a woman’s outfit and wearing a veil for her, she was truly touched. Shang did not feel the need to say those words aloud.
Han Xuanhao was shocked by the sudden change in emotion. He put down his chopsticks and held Shang Wuxin’s hand. “I am not feeling wronged!” Being able to do something for her loved one could only be considered as being wronged. It was only a kind of willingly giving.
One side was filled with warmth, while the other side of the palace was also filled with warmth.
Because of the decree given by Emperor Shang, the palace was arranged to celebrate. Even the palace maids were old mama, which showed how much importance the emperor had placed on this marriage, not to mention the imperial guards outside.
Nangong Lian sat in her room and allowed the mama to dress herself up and put on her wedding dress. This wedding dress had been personally delivered from Nangong Country and it was made by the embroidery Mother of Nangong Country who had spent a lot of time and effort to get it done.
“Princess Lian is truly beautiful. Today, field officer Lin has lifted his head and is still dazzled by it!” One of the mama laughed while praising him. This mama had been serving by Emperor Shang’s side for many years, and had always been loyal and cautious to her work. She had specially arranged to deal with the trifling matters of the palace. The mama had seen quite a few beauties over the years. Even back then, she had served Empress Qiu. Although this Princess Lian wasn’t exceptionally beautiful, her gentle face carried a heroic air. It was rather comfortable looking at her.
Nangong Lian’s servant girl also smiled and said, “That’s right, to be married to the princess, this field officer Lin is truly fortunate!” The two maids were given to Nangong Lian by King Qian. Most of the young talents in Nangong Country wanted to marry the princess, but the princess took a fancy to one of the officers of Shang Yue. Although they did not understand the princess’ intentions, the two of them felt that as long as the princess was happy, it would be fine.
Although Nangong Lian did not say much, Nangong Lian was still a bit nervous today. Even though her hands were covered with sweat, she did not have any friends by her side. Furthermore, there were currently no people who would complain about her nervousness.
“King Qian!” The sounds of greetings rose and fell outside of the door. Nangong Qian walked into the room with a purple robe and waved them off. Although this did not conform to the rules, although the two of them were siblings, there was still a difference between males and females. However, with the might of Prince Qian, who would dare to disobey him?
“Royal brother!” Nangong Lian prepared to get up. Although her royal brother had always been good to her and had been pulling her up like a brother ever since she was young, Nangong Lian had always regarded him as a difficult person. Although her royal brother had never been close to her with coldness in his eyes, to Nangong Lian, the most important person in this world was not Lin Jia Er but her royal brother.
Nangong Qian quickly went forward to help Nangong Lian but did not allow her to greet him. Seeing that the noisy little girl was actually still wearing her wedding dress, he suddenly felt that time had passed really quickly. If Mother was still alive, he would not be moved by this.
“Lian’er will be married today. From today onwards, there will only be one brother in the Philo-King Manor. I hope brother can take good care of himself!” Nangong Lian said worriedly. The once cold and quiet place where she had tried her best to play had made people angry. She didn’t know if her brother would be the only one in this place from now on.
He was prepared to pat Nangong Lian’s head, but he discovered that Nangong Lian’s hair was tied up in a bun and could only give up. He instructed, “Royal brother, you have made up your mind, but from today onwards, you are an adult. You should restrain your temper a little, as Lin Jia Er has also tested him, although he is not a dragon amongst men, he is still a man with rare love!”
Nangong Lian nodded with reddened eyes. How could she not know that her royal brother was the one who made things difficult for Lin Jia Er? However, from the beginning, she did not blame her royal brother. She understood her royal brother’s worry.
“Lian’er knows, royal brother has always held Lian’s protective heart in high regard, and he doesn’t dare forget it!” Nangong Lian tried to hold back her tears. Today, she had started to put on her makeup before dawn. If she were to cry, she would have to put on a new set of makeup.
“But you are the younger sister of I, Nangong Qian. If you suffer any grievances in the future, please don’t endure it. I will avenge you!” He knew that although she was not a virtuous person, she was a very good woman. If Lin Jia Er really betrayed his sister, no matter what, he would kill him to give his sister justice.
Nangong Qian’s tears turned into smiles, “Of course, I am the most doted on sister by the Humble King. I am the only princess of the Nangong Nation, I will not disgrace my own identity, royal brother do not worry!” Although Nangong Lian felt that nothing bad would definitely happen to her and Lin Jia Er, she also knew that the world was always unpredictable. If she really did reach that step, she would not be so humiliated by her royal brother.
“You are to be married to Ringel this time, and my royal brother has sent you many maids and guards, who will be yours from now on! Lin Jia Er is one of Xin’er’s subordinates. Normally, she would not interfere in the affairs of the Lin Clan. Therefore, you have to take responsibility of this entire Lin Clan. These people can not only protect you, but they can also allow you to live comfortably in the Lin Clan! Your dowry is quite large, this is all given to you by royal brother for your own personal use. If you don’t have enough in the future, you can tell royal brother that the huge Nangong Nation will not let you down! ” Nangong Qian explained everything he had prepared.
Nangong Lian, who was holding back her tears, could not help but cry. She ignored the makeup on her face. When the maidservants outside heard the crying, they knew that things were not going well.
How could she not know how generous her dowry was? Even if she was the princess, the dowry was enough for her to spend for several lifetimes. She knew that her imperial brother had brought so much dowry, but her imperial brother did not complain at all.
Nangong Qian saw that his sister was crying so much that her makeup had been used up. However, he couldn’t coax her out so he could only shout out the door, “Someone, put on the princess’ makeup!” After that, he left the room. No matter how powerful he was, there were still some rules that he had to follow.
Nangong Qian stood outside the door, and those maids and wives didn’t dare to make a sound. They walked all the way until the distance between them. “Prince, the groom is here!” Sure enough, the sounds of firecrackers and suona could be heard in front of them, followed by the sounds of congratulation from the mama inside.
After Nangong Lian had finished putting on her makeup and covered her head, Nangong Qian personally carried his sister on his back. Normally, it was very normal for someone to carry their younger sister and brother. However, Nangong Qian was not an ordinary person and could already be considered the emperor of a country. There had never been an emperor who personally carried their princess.
This was Nangong Qian’s first time carrying Nangong Lian. Even when Nangong Qian was young, he had never carried his own little sister. Even though he protected his own sister, he wouldn’t actually play with her like an elder brother. Therefore, although the two siblings had a good relationship, they seemed to have a very serious reason.
Nangong Qian wanted to give a few more words of advice, but he felt that he had said everything that needed to be said, so he didn’t say anything. However, Nangong Lian, who was on Nangong Qian’s back, spoke up, “After Lian’er gets married today, Royal Brother should think about his own matters as soon as possible. Although I don’t understand the relationship between my royal brother and Prince Shang, Lian’er knows that Prince Shang is a dragon amongst men. If he really becomes my son, I will sincerely wish him well! ”
What about men? As long as her royal brother was happy, Nangong Lian felt that those gossips would not be a problem.
“Yes, Royal Brother has made his decision!” Even if Shang Wuxin was a woman, so what if he was a man?
