First Lady of the Crown Prince

Chapter 923 The Wedding (Part 2) Two updates in one

 Yes, today is the day of her wedding to Xiao Heng.

"Well, I haven't been married before. It's strange." Her sleepiness disappeared instantly, and her eyes were bright.

Yu Ya'er and Yao Shi heard what she said and thought she meant that she had never held a wedding when she was living among the people.

 The two of them felt very sorry for each other.

“Miss, you have endured all the hardships, and you won’t have to suffer anymore in the future.” Yu Ya’er comforted her sincerely.

Yao's heart was sour, and the tip of his nose was also sore. He couldn't hold back his tears since he heard Yu Ya'er's "big wedding".

She didn't know whether she felt more sorry for her daughter's plight, or whether she was more reluctant to let her daughter get married.

　　Not enough, really not enough.

　The daughter who was separated for fourteen years before being recognized was married in less than four years——

"Madam, please stop crying." Yuya'er advised, her voice suddenly choked with sobs, "If you cry, I will cry too."

It’s so strange, she is obviously not sad, but she is also very sad when she sees my wife crying.

Gu Jiao looked at Yao shi blankly, not understanding why Yao shi was crying.

Having seen many such scenes, Mrs. Shiquan smiled at Mr. Yao and said, "Madam, the young lady is marrying to the capital, not far away. Isn't it easy to meet the young lady?"

"That's right." Mrs. Yao wiped her tears, a little embarrassed that she was so rude in front of her daughter. Fortunately, it didn't affect her daughter's mood.

Yao Shi patted the back of Gu Jiao's hand and said, "I've asked someone to prepare the hot water. Come on, let's go take a shower and change clothes."

 “Want to take a shower?” Gu Jiao muttered, got out of bed and went to the washroom cubicle.

 The bathtub is newly made, exuding the original fragrance of wood. It is filled with a large bucket of warm water, and the petals are gently swaying.

 A room full of gentle fragrance.

Yu Ya'er waited on Gu Jiao to take a bath.

Gu Jiao is not used to being cared for by someone at home. This is the first time Yu Ya'er has seen the young lady's body up close.

 She didn’t know it until she saw it, but when she saw it, tears welled up on the spot.

 There are too many scars on Ms.’s body.

Even though they had all healed, and even most of the scars had faded to only a shallow mark, she still felt unspeakable pain when she thought about where these scars came from.

 The eldest lady always says that she is fine and everything is fine.

 It turns out that they all report good news but not bad news.

"Why are you crying?" Gu Jiao heard Yuya'er's sobs behind her and turned to look at her, "Why are you sad? Do you miss your parents?"

Yu Yaer choked and shook her head: "No, I don't want my parents."

“Oh, why is that?” Gu Jiao asked.

“Miss, does it hurt?” Yu Yaer’s fingertips fell on a shallow mark on her right shoulder.

Gu Jiao shook her head and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Yuyaer held back her tears and did not ask any more questions.

 Somehow, she suddenly thought of Gu Jinyu.

 Why should Gu Jinyu compare with the eldest lady? Did she risk her life for the country, or endure a knife for the people? I didn't do one or two things, but I got into a lot of trouble!

 “You’re unhappy.” Gu Jiao felt Yu Yaer’s emotions.

Yuya'er said: "I'm not unhappy because of the lady. I'm thinking of someone who always compares me with the lady... Forget it, let's not mention her. Today is the wedding of the lady. Yuya'er has something to think about. happy!"

 Gu Jiao nodded: "Yes."

 After bathing, Yu Yaer changed into wedding clothes for Gu Jiao.

　Today’s wedding, everything is red from inside to outside.

The wedding dress was the one that Xiao Qingkong bought for her after selling her golden abacus. The original size was a bit too big, but now it is just right.

Since ancient times, she has always dressed very plainly for the convenience of working and fighting. She has never worn such bright colors.

　　When she walked out from behind the screen, everyone in the room felt their eyes light up.

Mrs. Shiquan has given away so many brides. To be honest, in terms of figure and facial features, she couldn’t choose one more pleasing to the eye than the one in front of her. However, she has a red birthmark on the left cheek, which is really a pity.

Mrs. Yao looked at her daughter, who was as beautiful as a peach and plum. She was only wearing a wedding dress and had not put on a hijab, and she almost couldn't hold herself tight.

She turned around, took a deep breath to calm down, and then smiled at her daughter: "Jiaojiao, come sit here and let Mrs. Cen comb your hair."

The Shiquan woman’s surname is Cen.

Gu Jiao came to the dressing table and sat down.

 She was also shocked by her own appearance.

 It’s not bad to dress like this.

Mrs. Shiquan was amused by Gu Jiao's expression and thought that this girl was really different. She was not coy at all and was as straightforward as a child.

Mrs. Shiquan came to Gu Jiao, opened the small dowry box she brought, and said gently to Gu Jiao: "I will follow your mother's call and call you Jiaojiao."

 “Okay.” Gu Jiao said.

Mrs. Shiquan smiled and said, "Before combing your hair, I will knead your noodles first."

 “What is Jiao Noodles?” She had only heard of bandit suppression.

"This is it. You may feel a little uncomfortable the first time." Mrs. Shiquan's voice was very gentle, which made people feel good for no reason.

She took out a long white thread, rolled it with her left hand, turned her right hand a few times, stretched out the coil, and then began to open and close it on Gu Jiao's face.

 Gu Jiao was in so much pain!

The little hair on her head is standing on edge!

 After doing it for a long time, it turned out that I was just plucking my hair...

Yao was originally very sad, but when he saw Gu Jiao's dumbfounded look, he couldn't hold back his tears and burst out laughing.

Gu Jiao soullessly let Mrs. Shiquan twist her little face.

The little commander of the Black Wind Cavalry, who killed the enemy without blinking an eye, was actually pinned down on a chair and his hair was plucked out one day.

Who would believe it?

Because Mrs. Shiquan liked her, she even hanged her twice more.

Having just finished kneading the noodles, Granny Fang came over from the kitchen carrying a steaming food box.

 “Madam, eldest lady.” She smiled and bowed.

Yao asked: "So fast? Didn't you just go?"

mammy Fang smiled and said, "Dong An Guo has already ordered his servants to prepare it." After a pause, she whispered to Yao, "I heard from my servants that Duke An Guo didn't sleep all night."

Yao sighed: "He really loves Jiaojiao."

 Aunt Fang said: "Miss, it's worth it."

Initially, she was worried that the eldest lady's heart was too cold and that the madam would not be able to keep it warm. Later, she discovered that the eldest lady's temperament was cold, but her feelings were also true and pure. If she was good to a person, she would be good to him no matter the cost.

 “Mother, mother.”

Gu Xiaobao woke up and was carried in by Yuanyang.

He was originally looking for his mother, but he caught sight of Gu Jiao in the bronze mirror.

He opened his dark eyes wide and looked at it for a long time, as if in disbelief.

He twisted his little body, got down from Yuanyang's arms, walked around in front of Gu Jiao, raised his little head and looked at Gu Jiao carefully.

 “Oh?” He spread out his small hands and waved, “It’s gone.”

Gu Jiao curled her lips: "Sister is not missing."

 He was startled by the familiar voice and looked at Gu Jiao again.

Gu Jiao said with a smile: "Call me sister."

 Gu Xiaobao didn’t scream.

With unsteady steps, he walked to Yao's side, took Yao's hand and walked towards Gu Jiao, not forgetting to use his other little finger to hold Gu Jiao's wedding dress, waving his hand. Said: "Don't wear it, don't wear it."

Yao Shi smiled sadly: "My sister wants to get married and wear clothes."

Gu Xiaobao was stunned.

Children don’t quite understand the meaning of getting married, but subconsciously they seem to understand that this will become a kind of separation.

 “I don’t want to wear it.” He waved his little hand seriously and pointed to the aunt in the room, “Mammy, put it on.”

The person Gu Xiaobao dislikes the most is the one who chases after him all day long. He is not allowed to touch the room aunt, who also does not let him play.

 Tell grandma to go quickly.

 Sister won’t leave.

The whole room of people made him laugh and cry.

 Gu Xiaobao is not a child who can have a bad temper. He did not cry when he saw that his objections were fruitless. Instead, he stood next to his sister and grabbed the corner of her clothes.

It seemed that as long as he held her tight enough, my sister wouldn't be able to leave.

 After Mrs. Shiquan finished wiping Gu Jiao's face, she began to do Gu Jiao's hair and makeup.

 Gu Jiao came back from the border. After squatting at home for more than a month, she came back in vain. Her cheeks were moist and tender, and she was fair and translucent.

Paired with a head of black, satin-like hair, even a perfect woman would be stunned.

 The Shiquan woman has never seen such delicate skin and such smooth black hair.

 She gently held Gu Jiao's long hair in her palm, picked up a new comb, and gently combed it.

“One comb to the end, two combs to bring white hair to eyebrow level, three combs to cover the ground with children and grandchildren, four combs to meet noble people…”

 …

 Ding'anhou Mansion.

Gu Jinyu also got up and began to prepare for today's wedding.

She put on a bright red wedding dress and sat in front of a bronze mirror while Mrs. Sun, a Shiquan woman, twisted her face and combed her hair.

 Originally she wanted to invite Mrs. Cen, but Mrs. Cen was invited away.

Mrs. Zhang, who was beside Mrs. Gu, came over before dawn and was busy in the room, taking over the tasks that should have belonged to her mother.

 Her mother went to attend her good sister's wedding.

To put it nicely, if a bowl of water is even, wouldn’t you prefer your own children in the end?

Hearty laughter came from outside the quiet house. This was not the first time, there had been several times just now.

"Who is so noisy? Grandfather and grandmother are still resting." Gu Jinyu asked Chunliu while being put on makeup by Mrs. Sun.

Chunliu muttered dissatisfied: "It's not from our house, it's from the Duke's house."

Gu Jinyu bit her lip: "Why is she so noisy over there?"

"That's right! What's so great about getting married! It's so lively the second time, as if no one knows she's married before!"

Mrs. Sun put on her makeup silently and said nothing.

 The matter about these two daughters has been spread in the capital for a long time.

How can it be shameful for a real daughter to live among the people, whether poor or rich, to marry the same person twice? This is good fortune! It's fate!

As for why there is so much excitement in the house, that young lady has status!

 She woke up, and the whole house woke up!

How can this second young lady still have to look after the faces of the old lady and the old marquis?

 “Where is my father?” Gu Jinyu asked.

 Grandpa will not come to see her. Grandma is in poor health, so it will probably be difficult for her to come.

 Only the father.

If her father is not around when she gets married, her husband's family will laugh at her.

“I don’t know if Lord Marquis’s injury has healed yet…” Chunliu whispered.

Since the cross-country doubles match, Mr. Gu has been lying in bed for a month. When Chunliu went to greet him yesterday, he still needed help to walk.

 “Go and have a look.” Gu Jinyu said.

"yes!"

Chunliu left in a hurry.

As soon as she arrived at the gate of Mr. Gu's courtyard, she saw the radiant and energetic old Mr. Gu, and she felt happy.

The old Marquis is obviously here to see the young lady off for marriage!

She stepped forward excitedly and was about to salute the old marquis, but the old marquis had already entered her son's yard without looking back.

After a while, the old Marquis pulled out the limping Gu Marquis by his ears.

She said blankly: "Are you going to ask the Marquis to marry the young lady?"

Chunliu guessed half of it right.

The old Marquis is indeed going to marry, but not to Gu Jinyu.

 …

 On the other side, Gu Changqing and Gu Chengfeng also got up from their respective yards.

The two of them finished washing up, put on new clothes, and made themselves handsome and handsome, especially Gu Chengfeng. He even used balm to style his hair in a sullen manner to ensure that he was the most handsome today.

 It’s still early before dawn.

 Gu Chengfeng had no intention of waking Gu Chenglin, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw Gu Chenglin in neat clothes.

 “Huh? You got up so early?” he asked doubtfully.

Gu Chenglin hesitated and said: "I...I...I want to go there with you."

Gu Chengfeng said seriously: "Where to go? I'm going to the Duke's Mansion opposite."

 Gu Chenglin responded: "...Well, I know."

 Gu Chengfeng crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes: "I know you are still going? Don't you like to interact with them?" He was referring to Yao, Gu Jiao and Gu Yan.

"How long has it been? Why are you still mentioning it..." Gu Chenglin muttered in frustration. He raised his hand and scratched his... bald head, and mumbled, "But if I stay here, I have to agree to my grandmother's request... go Carry Gu Jinyu on my back...I don’t want to carry her on my back!”

Gu Chengfeng glanced at his younger brother suspiciously. Just as he was doubting, Grandma Zhang's voice came from outside the yard.

"Is the third young master awake? The second lady is almost done, it's time for the third young master to pass."

Gu Chenglin hurriedly approached his brother and whispered, "Did you hear that? Did you hear that?"

Gu Chengfeng's eardrum was almost blown out of a hole by him. He waved his hands hurriedly: "Okay, okay, I heard you."

He hated Gu Jinyu, so naturally he didn't want his younger brother to carry her to the sedan chair. He took Gu Chenglin's wrist and took him out using Qinggong.

 “Heh, we must be the first.”

After leaving the house and landing, Gu Chengfeng let go of Gu Chenglin's hand and clapped his own hand proudly.

Gu Chenglin clapped his fingers: "The first one? Which one of us is not a human being?"

 Gu Chengfeng: “…”

 …

In the new courtyard of the Xuanping Hou Mansion, Princess Xinyang tied Xiao Qingkong's wedding ribbon and red flowers, and put on a small groom's official hat.

 A mini version of the Little Groom Official was born.

Xiao Jingkong came to the Hou Mansion with the new bed a few days before the wedding. His original task was to press the bed. After pressing it, in order to ensure that no one else had slept on the bed before the wedding, he simply stayed in the Hou Mansion.

 Watching Jiaojiao’s bed every day.

This, by accident, gave him an opportunity to pick up his bride.

Xiao Heng changed his clothes by himself. As soon as he entered the room, he saw a young groom who was dressed exactly like him, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

 “What do you want to do?” he asked.

 “I want to get married to Jiaojiao!” Xiao Jingkong put her hands on her hips and said confidently.

Xiao Heng chuckled and said, "All groomsmen have to ride horses, and you don't have a horse, so you can't go."

“Who said I don’t have a horse?” Xiao Jingkong looked at the gate and shouted in a loud voice, “Xiao Shiyi!”

Horse King with pigtails, big red flowers on his hair, and flaming red lips swished into the yard!

Xiao Heng looked at the extremely hot-eyed horse and his whole body trembled!

Didn’t this horse be brought to Zhao State?

 How did it appear!

—The three-year-old pony king with full tracking skill points said that this is not a problem!

In fact, the horse king has just appeared. Gu Jiao had previously chosen a docile little black wind rider for Xiao Jingkong. But last night, when Xiao Jingkong went to find the little black wind rider, he unexpectedly found the little black wind rider. He asked Xiao Heifengqi to lead him the way to find Gu Jiao's horse king.

 “Little Eleven!”

Hearing this devilish little voice, the horse king was so frightened that he did the splits on the spot!

 However, it has no use as a bird.

 Xiao Jingkong decisively captured it and took it into the Xuanping Hou Mansion.

At this moment, there is a children's saddle on Ma Wang's back. It was drawn by Gu Jiao and handed over to Gu Xiaoshun to make it himself.

Xiao Jingkong walked out majestically and said politely to the guards in the yard: "Please give me a hug, thank you."

 The guards picked him up and put him on the horse.

He fastened the buckle skillfully and said with great pride: "I'm going to pick up Jiaojiao!"

 Everyone in the yard couldn't help but laugh.

How could Xiao Heng lose to a little monk?

 He roared, walked out of the yard, turned over and mounted the tall horse.

 Xiao Jingkong is a cute little groom.

  Xiao Heng is a son of the Xiao family who is dressed in fine clothes and angry horses. He is the best in Zhaodu, conquers the country and the city, and is unparalleled in magnificence.



His handsome face still has a hint of clean youthfulness, but his eyes have more of the calmness and charm of a mature man.

Looking at him like this, Princess Xinyang suddenly felt a deep sense of melancholy and reluctance in her heart.

 The son has grown up...he has really grown up...

 …

At nine o'clock, Gu Jiao pursed her bright red lips for the last time.

Mrs. Shiquan looked at the beautiful bride intently, nodded with satisfaction, and put the hijab on Gu Jiao.

Almost at the same time, the sound of gongs and drums came from outside the house.

Yuya'er's eyes lit up: "My uncle is here!"
