Xianggui

Chapter 672: Heart and Orchid (two chapters in one)

Zhao smiled and said, "Yu Mu was very serious when he was young, but I didn't expect him to be able to laugh so happily."

A lady smiled and said, "The bride is so beautiful and smells so good, who wouldn't be happy?"

Everyone laughed.

Sun Yumu's face turned as red as rouge, and she quickly followed Sun Yuhao out.

Not long after, the maid from the outer courtyard suddenly ran over and said, "Grandma, please go to the front courtyard. The Emperor's imperial edict and the Empress' imperial edict have arrived."

Everyone went to the outer courtyard.

It was already dusk, and the red clouds with golden edges covered the entire western sky. Zhenhai Prefecture was filled with joy, and all the red lanterns on the trees and under the corridors were lit up.

An orange-red light flowed between heaven and earth.

The scenery was unfamiliar and the yard was crowded with strangers, but with Sun and Mu by her side, Xun Xiang felt at ease.

The incense table has been set up and everyone kneels down to receive the order.

The emperor praised Sun Yumu and Princess Xiangxiang highly, and appointed Sun Yumu as the first-class sword-bearing guards in front of the emperor, the third rank.

Xun Xiang was conferred the title of a third-rank lady.

The Queen also praised Princess Xiangxiang greatly and rewarded her with twenty pieces of embroidered satin and embroidered silk, and two gold and jade ruyi.

Everyone congratulated him.

Since the founding of the Dali Dynasty, there have been no more than ten third-rank generals under the age of twenty-one.

Old Marquis Sun's beard trembled with laughter. He bowed towards the palace and said, "The emperor's grace is great, the emperor's grace is great."

He glanced at Xun in the distance. He could still see her ears clearly from such a distance. No wonder people said that Princess Xiangxiang was very lucky. It was true. The man got promoted as soon as she married into her husband's family.

This has brought prosperity to the Ding family and the Xun family, and from now on it’s time to bring prosperity to our own family.

Xun Xiang returned to Zixia Courtyard, while the others went to the Pine Hall in the outer courtyard and the Flower Hall in the inner courtyard for the wedding banquet.

As soon as she returned to the bedroom, Xun Xiang said, "Quick, take off the phoenix crown, it's so heavy."

It took me most of the day to carry more than ten kilograms of stuff.

Luo'er took off the phoenix crown, and Mrs. Tang took off the heavy hairpins.

Xun Xiang twisted her neck which was about to be broken, and it felt so comfortable.

Nanny Wei came over and said with a smile, "After the dowry was dried, it was taken to the warehouse in the backyard. Feifei, Shuangshuang, and Heiwa have also been settled in. Feifei and Shuangshuang are used to this place, but Heiwa is not yet, so we'll tie him up in Feifei's room for the time being..."

Mrs. Tang and Madam Wei helped Xun Xiang go to the bathroom to wash her face, take off her wedding dress, change into a red satin jacket and long skirt with crabapple flowers, and then put on some light makeup again.

Duan'er brought tea, Xunxiang took a few sips, and Chou'er brought some snacks.

Xun Xiang was secretly dissatisfied because the groom was eating and drinking with the guests, but the bride could not eat and had to wait on an empty stomach until the groom came back to eat together.

Two girls, about fourteen or fifteen years old, came over and kowtowed to Xun Xiang.

"I, the servant Baojuan (Dujuan), kowtow to the Second Madam."

Xun Xiang had heard that these two maids were previously maids in Sun Yumu's study, and were now transferred to work in Zixiayuan.

Xun Xiang nodded, "Serve the master well in the future."

"Yes."

Nanny Wei took out two purses and gave them as rewards.

Xun Xiang walked around the rooms in the upper house. There were small red sandalwood furniture, large Persian carpets, glass mirrors, and a glass fish tank with a fairy in it...

The furnishings were roughly similar to Ziyuan, except that the pillows on the bed were replaced by two, there were more men's clothes in the bedroom closet, swords were hung on the wall of the side room, and there were many more military books in the bookcase in the west room...

Traces of the male owner are evident everywhere here.

Xun Xiang walked to the window. It was already completely dark, with a bright moon hanging in the sky.

Dozens of lanterns illuminated the courtyard, which was larger than the Purple Courtyard, with a green pond in the middle and beautiful trees and white flowers all around. Although there was more green than flowers, it was still as beautiful as if it were wearing colorful clothes.

From time to time, you can hear the "cooing" and "woofing" sounds coming from the east wing.

This is her and Sun Yumu’s home.

Xun Xiang's heart was filled with warmth.

The courtyard gate suddenly opened, and three girls walked in carrying food boxes.

The food has arrived and the wedding banquet is over.

Xun Xiang sat down on the edge of the bed.

Soon, a familiar sound of footsteps was heard.

Sun Yumu walked into the bedroom with a smile on his face, "Xiangxiang."

There was a smell of alcohol, but his eyes were clear and he did not seem drunk.

Xun Xiang stood up and said, "My Lord."

It was awkward to address him, but Nanny Wang insisted that she call him that. Even if she called him something else in private, she had to call him "Prince" in public.

Sun Yumu took Xun Xiang's hands and placed them on his lips and kissed her. The girl he had been thinking about day and night finally got married...

The girls in the room all blushed.

Nanny Wang smiled and reminded, "My Lord, the princess is still hungry and hasn't eaten yet."

Sun Yumu quickly let go of his hand, "Are you hungry? I'll be ready soon."

He took off his hat and handed it to Dujuan. Baojuan then took off his outer robe and helped him go to the bathroom to wash his face and rinse his mouth.

Sun Yumu came out, her face still flushed, her eyes full of affection, her thin lips smiling, and there was an extra scent of ambergris.

He took Xun Xiang to the side room.

The kang table was already filled with wine and food.

The two of them sat on the kang, and the maid filled two glasses with wine.

Sun Yumu put some meat and vegetables into Xun Xiang's bowl and said, "It's enough for you to eat first."

Xun Xiang had never been hungry in her life, and she was almost fainting from hunger. She didn't hesitate and ate up everything in the bowl in a few mouthfuls.

The maids she brought with her all blushed. Mrs. Tang, who was standing beside her to serve her, gently pulled her clothes, and Nanny Wang coughed lightly.

Xun Xiang ignored them. Sun Yumu knew her good appetite.

The two drank the wine in their glasses. Sun Yumu only ate a few bites of food and looked at Xun Xiangle. Xun Xiang ate a lot of food, a bowl of rice, and a bowl of soup.

Finally full, she resisted the urge to touch her belly.

The two went to the bedroom hand in hand again, and Sun Yumu asked, "Where are the wedding photos?"

Xun Xiang winked at Luo'er, and Luo'er opened a rolled-up painting and hung it on the wall.

Among the heart-shaped pink roses, standing were Sun Yumu and Xun Xiang, who were wearing wedding dresses. They held hands and stared at each other, their eyes full of admiration.

Xun Xiang still didn't dare to act too freely, so the people in the painting didn't hug each other.

Sun Yumu smiled even more, "It's a great painting."

He looked at his wedding photo, then at his bright and lovely wife in front of him, and couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her on the cheek.

Bao Juan blushed and reminded, "My Lord, it's time to take a bath."

Even though Xun Xiang was the emperor's favorite granddaughter, she had to wait for her husband to bathe before taking a bath after getting married, except for princesses.

Sun Yumu went into the bathroom and came out after a quarter of an hour, wearing a red silk undershirt and trousers.

His black hair was down, his face was pink, his chest was slightly exposed, his tight muscles were strong and sexy...

Xun Xiang blushed and was taken to the bathroom by Mrs. Tang.

She had just soaked in the fragrant soup for more than half an hour when Mrs. Tang urged, "That's enough. Don't make the prince wait any longer."

Mrs. Tang helped her get dressed, tying the bellyband string loosely and the trouser belt loosely as well.

Is this to make it easier for the groom to untie his belt?
When Xun Xiang left, the lights in the bedroom had been extinguished, except for the two large dragon and phoenix wedding candles on the high table. The two strings of flames flickered, illuminating the room even more red, and also foreshadowing that this wedding night would be auspicious with dragons and phoenixes, and the flowers and the full moon would bloom.

Sun Yumu sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Xun Xiang, the love in his eyes was as strong as honey that could not be melted.

The chubby little girl grew up to be a bright and beautiful young lady, but I was lucky enough to marry her...

Xun Xiang was helped to sit next to Sun Yumu.

The step-out bed had three steps. Luo'er and Baojuan bent their knees for their master, lowered the red curtain at the first step, and left the room, closing the door gently.

The candlelight shone through the curtains, making the interior even redder and dim. The red gold incense balls hanging from the four corners of the bed exuded a strong fragrance, which made people even more confused and their heartbeats faster.

Xun Xiang, an old fool who had experienced two lifetimes, also felt shy and lowered his head.

Sun Yumu chuckled and stretched out his left hand to support Xun Xiang's face.

The beautiful face made him obsessed, and the familiar fragrance made him even more intoxicated.

Xun Xiang raised her eyelids, and they looked at each other infatuatedly, and they saw themselves in each other's bright eyes.

Sun Yumu stroked Xun Xiang's drooping hair with his right hand and said softly, "I have waited for many years, and finally your hair has grown to your waist. In the future, I will have you by my side, and we will grow old together."

Xun Xiang was touched. She knew that this man would stay with her until old age, and she would also stay with this man until old age.

She pressed down his left hand on his face, "I can't wait to grow up and be your bride."

She thought that if she grew up quickly, he would grow up quickly. Today, Sun Yumu was tall and strong, a man of integrity. He was sunny, steady and gentle. She no longer felt that she was an old cow eating young grass.

Watching your loved one grow from youth to adulthood and then to old age is such a wonderful process...

Sun Yumu's face moved closer and closer, and kissed those two flower-like lips.

Soft, silky and fragrant.

"Xiangxiang..."

Sun Yumu's breathing became heavier and heavier, and his breath fanned on Xun Xiang's face, so hot that it made her obsessed.

Xun Xiang's undergarment was untied...

As the two people's breathing became heavier, Xun Xiang called out softly, "It hurts, be gentle."

Sun Yumu grumbled in his throat, "Be patient, it will be over soon."

Where is it coming soon...

With Sun Yumu's comfort, the trembling joy gradually spread throughout Xun Xiang's body, and the pain gradually disappeared.

The sturdy bed was shaking non-stop, the red tent was filled with springtime light, the candlelight was swaying outside the red tent, and the bright moon outside the window was hidden in the floating clouds...

Xun Xiang's whisper came from the red tent, "You said you didn't have a maid, but you are so experienced."

Sun Yumu chuckled a few times, revealing a sense of pride, "Men, isn't this natural? I heard that..."

His voice was even quieter.

"You can even bring this up? You really are..."

"Haha, that's what they said. I overheard it."

……

Early in the morning, Xun Xiang woke up and found Sun Yumu no longer beside her.

Thinking of what happened at night, Xun Xiang covered her face with the quilt and came out again after half a minute.

Nanny Wei, who was waiting in the room, smiled and said, "The prince is practicing boxing outside, and he doesn't allow me to wake up the princess."

Nanny Wei's old face blossomed with joy, "The prince is very considerate."

Xun Xiang blushed, "Mammy."

Seeing that her master was shy, Madam Wei smiled and said, "Alright, alright, I won't say anything more."

After helping Xun Xiang put on her clothes and go to the bathroom to wash up, Mrs. Tang came over to tidy up the bedding.

Just as Xun Xiang sat in front of the dressing table, Sun Yumu walked in.

He came behind Xun Xiang, and their eyes met in the glass mirror.

Chou'er and Luo'er, who were helping them with their hair and makeup, felt embarrassed to look at them, so they walked a few steps away and turned their backs.

Sun Yumu leaned over and kissed Xun Xiang's cheek. Xun Xiang pushed him away, and he smiled and went to the bathroom.

After Xun Xiang had combed her hair, Aunt Tao, who was by Madam Sun's side, came.

Xun Xiang naturally knew what she was doing there, and said with a smile, "Madam Tao."

Aunt Tao bowed to Sun Yumu and Xun Xiang and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Young Master, and congratulations, Grandmother."

Nanny Wei handed her a purse containing two silver ingots, and Nanny Tao took it and thanked her.

Mrs. Tang took out a folded piece of white silk from under the pillow and handed it to her.

Nanny Tao opened the white silk and took a look at it, her smile deepened, then she folded it and put it back in the box.

She smiled and said, "The old lady is not feeling well. After breakfast, the young master and the eldest grandmother will go to the main courtyard to recognize their relatives."

Xun Xiang had heard from Sun Yumu that today they should go to the main courtyard where Madam Sun lived to recognize their relatives, or to Jingxin Hall where old lady Zeng lived to recognize their relatives. The two sides had gone through a game of bargaining.

Logically, we should go to Jingxin Hall, which is the residence of Lord Sun and Mrs. Sun.

But now, old Marquis Sun basically doesn't live there, and the conflicts between Marquis Sun and his wife, Sun Yumu and Zeng are becoming increasingly intense, so they are all unwilling to go.

Zeng cried and made a scene, using filial piety to pressure others...

According to Nanny Tao, not only will they go to the main courtyard to recognize their relatives today, but Zeng will not be allowed to participate.

Xun Xiang didn't want to kowtow to the old woman. She and Sun Linzhan had made Sun Yumu and his mother suffer a lot, which made the little Sun Yumu more experienced on his way to growth.

Originally they should have gone to Kunning Palace to express their gratitude today, but the Queen granted them a favor and allowed them to go in a few days.

After breakfast, Xun Xiang and Sun Yumu went to the main courtyard, followed by Feifei, Shuangshuang and Heiwa.

Almost everyone in the Sun family likes these two eagles, and Heiwa is just taking advantage of them.

There were flowers and willows all along the way, and it took more than half a minute to reach the main courtyard.

The hall was full of people, not only the master of Zhenhai Marquisate, but also some of the side branches, even Sun Linfeng and his wife in Jiaozhou came with their second son and his family.

They also had a house in the capital, where Sun and Hao lived.

There are also my eldest aunt Sun Mingya and her family, and my second aunt Sun Mingxi and her husband.

Sun Mingxi was going to get married at the end of last year. She didn't want to come, but her husband's family and her husband forced her to come in order to have a good relationship with Sun Houye and his son.

Not in Jingxin Hall, and her grandmother hadn't come yet, Sun Mingxi's face looked even worse. The man coughed lightly, and she had to adjust her expression and squeeze out a few smiles.

At the end of the second row of female relatives sat a middle-aged woman, and she was the only one sitting on a brocade stool.

She is the biological mother of Master Sun San, Madam Yang, and now the old marquis is mostly served by her.

The reason why he honored Old Concubine Yang so much was not only for the sake of the old marquis and the third master, but also to strike a blow against Old Madam Sun.

Xun Xiang kowtowed and offered tea, accepted gifts from the elders, and gave gifts to the younger generations.

Among these people, Sun Linfeng's wife, Zhao, was the best at speaking. Her words were pleasant to the ears and she made everyone laugh.

Xun Xiang could see that not only Madam Sun, but also the old marquis and Marquis Sun gave her a lot of face.

Sun Linfeng was recognized by his master's family and had a bright future. He had already become the commander-in-chief of the Jiaozhou navy, and his wife had made an indelible contribution to this.

Xun Xiang also liked Zhao very much. She was bold and bold, and she knew what she was doing. She was best friends with Dong Niangqin at the beginning...

Xun Xiang thought of the "rice soup" saying again... and felt it was very vivid.

I just feel a little nauseous and don't want to drink rice soup anymore.

After meeting my relatives, it was time for lunch.

After dinner, Sun Yumu sent Xun Xiang back to Zixiayuan and went to the outer study room. They wanted to discuss some confidential matters with Sun Linfeng.
