Madam, she always wants to run away

Chapter 20 The Big Wedding
As soon as the hour passed, the people sent by the palace, led by Nanny Xu, filed in. In an instant, the originally small Li residence was crowded.

In twos and twos, Madam Xu assigned the people who brought them to work, cleaning and decorating, while she led two handy maids to Li Ying's boudoir to serve the bride.

"Oh, girl, why do you look so ugly?" Seeing Li Ying's pale face, Madam Xu couldn't help saying a few words to her: "It is said that a big wedding is the most important day in a girl's life. Is it because of being good-looking and self-willed?"

Naturally, Li Ying would not tell Nanny Xu that she had just been caught by Xiao Lian after running away all night, so she had no choice but to lie: "Mommy, I was too nervous, I couldn't sleep a night."

Mother Xu's heart ached instantly when she heard this, and she comforted her, "It's okay, these two maids are famous for their dexterity, so let them dress you so that the bridegroom can see straight!"

Li Ying's cheeks were quietly stained with two blushes.

She sat in front of the mirror and let others take care of her.Her face as clear as a lotus emerging from water was reflected in the mirror, and the two maids kept praising: "I've never seen a woman as stunning as a girl."

She was even more embarrassed when she said it.

The process of dressing up seems to be a long and endless process, combing hair, trimming hands and applying face. It didn't take long for Li Ying to feel sleepy.

So Nanny Xu saw the head of the bride like a chick pecking at the rice, hanging down from time to time and then raising it up again and again, several palace people looked at each other and laughed silently.

After an unknown amount of time, Nanny Xu finally combed Li Ying's three thousand black hair softly and smoothly. She was appreciating her work with satisfaction, and just about to praise her, she suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked aloud: "Hey, why don't you see Mrs. Li?"

Li Ying suddenly woke up when she heard the words, and was thinking about what reason to use to prevaricate, when Zhao Minyi's laughter came from outside the room: "Nurse, I'm late."

It was Zhao Minyi who opened the door and came in. She gave Li Ying a look and motioned for herself to be polite.

It must be that the carriage is moving slowly, so the parents are late.

"Mrs. Li, this old servant is wondering why I didn't see Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li when I came this morning."

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. In order to bless Ying'er's marriage, we specially woke up early to burn incense in the temple."

"So that's how it is." Mother Xu suddenly realized, and boasted again: "Madam really has a heart, with your two elders' heart, I think the marriage between the girl and the prince will be successful, harmonious and beautiful."

"Thank you for your blessing." Zhao Minyi said and looked at Li Ying. Although he didn't know the whole picture of what happened last night, he guessed that his daughter was brought back by force.Zhao Minyi couldn't help feeling distressed at the thought that her daughter would still have to marry someone she didn't like in the end.

Li Ying held Zhao Minyi's hand and squeezed it, indicating that he was fine.

"Girl, get up and change into your wedding dress." Nanny Xu reminded softly.

Looking at the bright red wedding dresses on the inner and outer floors, Li Ying was a little thankful that the wedding date hadn't been set in summer, otherwise she would have suffered a lot.

After finally putting on the complicated and cumbersome wedding dress, Madam Xu was about to put the gold crown inlaid with emerald emeralds and pearls on Li Ying's head, when there was a sudden noise outside the door.

"The lord is here! No, the groom is here—" someone shouted outside the door.

"Oh, why is it such an hour!" Unknowingly, it's time for the groom to come to pick up the bride.

"Xuan'er, you go outside and stop him!" Zhao Minyi anxiously ordered.

"Leave it on me." Li Xuan replied confidently outside the door.

Isn't it just to stop the man who tried to take his sister away from the mansion? Without mother's orders, Li Xuan wanted to do this a long time ago!
Outside the gate of Li's mansion, Xiao Lian, who was wearing a red wedding dress, was full of happiness.This bright red color might look tacky on others, but it is just right on Xiao Lian.The red neutralizes the murderous aura on him very well, making him look plump and handsome, and it looks like a heaven and man descending from the earth, making people unable to move their eyes away.

"Stop!" Xiao Lian was about to step into the door of Li's residence, but was blocked by Li Xuan who appeared from nowhere.

Xiao Lian raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you sure you can stop me?"

Li Xuan crossed his hands in front of his chest, leaned his back against the door frame, and stepped on the door frame on the other side with one foot, saying, "If you can't stop it, you'll know if you try."

"Whether it's a literary test or a military test, you let the horse come here."

"Okay!" Li Xuan had a hundred and eight thousand ideas in his mind, and today he must kill Xiao Lian's prestige.

"Let's take the literary test first. The first question, which poem does my sister's boudoir name come from?"

As soon as this question came up, everyone in the audience looked confused. In the essay test, shouldn't it be you who publish the first couplet and I will take the second couplet, or ask the groom to compose a poem on the spot? Why is there such a thing?
They didn't know that it wasn't that Li Xuan didn't want to ask such a question, but that he, root, root, no, would, and asked.

The corner of Xiao Lian's mouth twitched, and he said: "This is simple. Lilian Xidie dances all the time, Zizi Jiaoying just cries."

Li Xuan felt a little regretful, did he underestimate the enemy?He immediately changed his words: "I let you on purpose. The second question, listen up, what is my sister's favorite food?"

Xiao Lian replied without hesitation: "I hate fish with thorns the most, but I like sweet and sour pork ribs the most."

Li Xuan was stunned on the spot, how could he know?Then he slapped his thigh and said: "It must be that my mother usually talks too much and slipped her tongue!"

Xiao Lian acted obediently even though he was cheap, and said, "Your questions are too simple."

"Heh, you have a big tone. The last question, listen carefully. What animal does my sister want to raise the most?"

Everyone was dumbfounded for a moment.

Xiao Lian frowned, he really didn't know this, he thought for a while, and finally answered truthfully: "I don't know how to do this question, but I can guess."

"Only one chance."

"I guess... a cat?"

Li Xuan's eyes widened in disbelief: "You, how do you know?!"

The smile on the corner of Xiao Lian's mouth became more obvious, and seeing Li Xuan's reaction, he knew he was right.

"It's just a guess."

Li Xuan had no choice but to say reluctantly: "Okay, you have passed the literary test, and then there is the military test."

"Martial arts test, are you sure?"

"Same as last time, you lose if you make a move."

"it is good."

This side of the room is bustling with activity, but the inside is in a hurry.

Li Ying hadn't put on the tiara yet, her stomach refused and let out a "cuckoo" cry.Li Ying looked at Zhao Minyi aggrievedly: "Mom, I'm hungry."

Zhao Minyi rubbed Li Ying's head lovingly: "Wait, mother will do it now."

In less than a quarter of an hour, Zhao Minyi came in with a bowl of noodles: "Come on, fill your stomach first."

Li Ying was about to open her mouth, but was stopped by Nanny Xu: "Girl, you have to be careful when you eat, don't spoil your makeup."

In order not to spoil the makeup carefully drawn by the maids, Zhao Minyi fed the noodles one by one in the end.

"Mother, getting married is really troublesome." Li Ying complained while chewing the noodles carefully.

"Stupid boy." Zhao Minyi smiled, "You thought it was just playing tricks."

After finishing the meal, Li Ying got into a fight with the crown again.This tiara looks graceful and gorgeous, but whoever wears it knows how heavy it is. The moment Madam Xu pressed the tiara up, Li Ying felt that her neck was about to break.

"Mommy, can I not wear it?" Li Ying said aggrievedly.

"Girl, stop talking stupid things. This tiara is hard to buy. It's the treasure that the Empress Dowager kept in the bottom of the box. It's specially reserved for your wedding!"

Helpless, Li Ying had no choice but to grit her teeth and use all her strength to prop up this stone-gold crown that weighed as much as a thousand catties.

Finally, the preparations are almost done, Madam Xu ordered the palace servants to go outside to have a look, why the prince hasn't come in yet?

The palace man came back and replied, "My lord, he is competing with the young master."

"What time is it, why haven't you finished the competition yet?"

"Young master is going around like a loach. If he doesn't take the initiative to attack, the prince can't make a move. The two of them have been frozen there."

"Xuan'er is really, what days are you still messing around!" Zhao Minyi said and was about to go out to teach Li Xuan a lesson.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the door, someone from outside came to report: "Madam, mother, the lord has surrendered."

Of course Xiao Lian didn't really lose, but he didn't want to waste any more time on Li Xuan, he had more important things to do.

"I admit defeat, the competition is over." Xiao Lian took the lead to break the deadlock.

"Really?" Li Xuan couldn't help but laugh, "Then you are not allowed to take my sister away!"

"I can promise you one condition, as long as you let me go in to pick up your sister."

"Hmph, I don't need anything."

"Really?" Xiao Lian asked, "You don't need to learn martial arts?"

In terms of scheming, how could Li Xuan be Xiao Lian's opponent?In a few words or two, the small flame in Li Xuan's heart that wanted to practice martial arts was hooked by Xiao Lian and turned into a mountain fire, burning in a panic.

"Really? Will you teach me?"

"One word from a gentleman is hard to follow. I will naturally do what I promise you, provided you fulfill your promise."

Li Xuan struggled on the spot for a moment, and agreed decisively: "It's a deal, you go in!" Saying this, he gave Xiao Lian a way to enter the mansion.

Xiao Lian strode towards the inner room.After waiting for so long, she should be anxious.

As soon as he reached the door of her room, the door was opened, and with the support of Zhao Minyi and Madam Xu, a bride in a red wedding dress and covering her head cautiously walked towards him.

Xiao Lian stopped at the same place, he had pictured this picture countless times in his mind, but when he stood here in person, watching her approaching step by step, the excitement that could not be added could not be felt in his mind no matter how many times he imagined .

She didn't speak, but Xiao Lian knew that the person under the hijab was her.

She walked very slowly, and when she was a foot away from him, Xiao Lian couldn't help but stepped forward, and stretched out his hand to hold her.

The moment they took her hand, the deafening sound of firecrackers rang in their ears, but it was strange, Xiao Lian didn't feel noisy, on the contrary, he felt that there had never been a moment like this, which made him feel peaceful and stable .

Amidst the blessings and cheers of everyone, Xiao Lian led her into the wedding sedan chair.

"Get up the car—"

In a burst of more enthusiastic firecrackers and cheers, the two walked towards a new beginning together.
