Reborn Lady: Unparalleled Daughter of Concubine Chapter 122 - Auspicious Wedding Day

Chapter 122 Auspicious Wedding Day

Qin Yunuan looked calm when she found that nurse Liao looked a little bit worried. Now Qin Yunzhuang could not destroy her happy mood, especially today, such a special day.
But nurse Liao felt really worried, “I heard that the master got the Grand Miss back from the imperial palace, and she looked so skinny. The master thought she was very poor, so he arranged many nurses and maidservants to take care of her.”
“When did she come back?” Qin Yunuan looked into the bronze mirror. She looked very spirited with her fair face and red lips, like a colorful butterfly ready to get out of the shell. Today, she was the leading role.
“Last night.” Nurse Liao said honestly.
“That’s reasonable,” Qin Yunuan tided up her tousy hair on the temples by holding a half-palm-long little jade comb. Now she looked more refreshed, “It is my wedding day today. It is not so appropriate for the daughter of the legal wife of Qin Family to still suffer a lot in the imperial palace. Even if the father had not got her back, the Queen Mother would not let her stay in the palace to do hard work. Actually, they just gave excuses to each other.”
“But,” Nurse Liao stopped and then added, “the Grand Miss now is standing out of our courtyard. She said she wanted to see you.”
Qin Yunuan glimpsed slightly at outside. Her calm face emerged a light smile with confidence and frankness. She said lightly, “OK, let her in. I don’t want to miss the auspicious time for stepping into my marriage sedan” Actually, she almost had known why Qin Yunzhuang wanted to see her. Qin Yunzhuang was likely to say and do those things like before. Qin Yunuan was not the lady before, and she knew what she should do.
After a while, Qin Yunzhuang came with nurse Liao. She looked more toilworn than last time with her darker skin. Qin Yunzhuang tried to hide her hands back, which were not smooth and delicate anymore. Her hands were the evidence that she, as the Grand Miss of the legal wife in the mansion of Grand Commandant, did hard work in the imperial palace. Qin Yunzhuang knew that Qin Yunuan had ordered the nannies in the Yeting Palace that they would not reduce the hard work of Qin Yunzhuang even if Qin Yunzhuang bribed them. Every day, Qin Yunzhuang worked like an ordinary maidservant in the imperial palace. What made her unacceptable most was the contempt nearby.
She felt enough. Now she came back.
“I come here to say congratulation to you for marrying an excellent guy, my Third Sister.” Qin Yunzhuang said in an aged voice, which was not so clear as before.
“Thank you, my Grand Sister. General Leng was a treasure, indeed. I feel happy.” Qin Yunuan stood up, and her ten-feet long skirt’s hemline was put down on the ground hemline, making a sound. Qin Yunzhuang was irritated by the scene. This piece of the bottom drawer was a treasure that was eager by all the ladies in the Royal City. And now the dress was worn by a daughter of a concubine who was not comparable with Qin Yunzhuang half a year ago.
And the words Qin Yunuan said just now. She said she was happy! The biggest wish of Qin Yunzhuang was that Qin Yunuan turned to be unhappy. But now the reality was reversed.
Suddenly, Qin Yunzhuang laughed, “You are the daughter of the concubine, and you marry the illegitimate child of Prince Ning’s Mansion. I will be the imperial concubine of the Third Prince. We can battle again at that time.”
“It is not necessary to say these words here, my Grand Sister.” Qin Yunuan walked closely. The fragrance of cosmetics gave out and made Qin Yunzhuang blinked. There was only a distance of one fist, and the phenomenon was intense. Qin Yunuan suddenly smiled and looked so kind, but her words were freezing, “Because you, my Grand Sister, you can never beat me. You failed before, and can you win in the future?”
Qin Yunzhuang shuddered but still said arrogantly and coldly, “Wait and see.” And then she turned back and left.
Qin Yunzhuang thought she would be an imperial lady if she married Sima Ray. Qin Yunuan felt funny about that. It seemed that Qin Yunzhuang did not change her personality. She was still overconfident and silly to believe that she could gain everything by her beauty.
“Third Miss, it is the time to take the marriage sedan.” The Chaperon outside was urging Qin Yunuan.
Maner and Ting Xue came in immediately and put on the bridal veil for Qin Yunuan. But the moment the red bridal veil was picked up, Qin Yunuan suddenly frowned.
“Wait.” Qin Yunuan said carefully, “Who has scattered the face powder on the bridal veil?”
Maner and Ting Xue looked at each other and then felt nervous too.
“There can’t be face powder on the bridal veil. Third Miss has ordered that all personal things, including candles and bridal veil that should be kept by Ting Xue and me separately. Anybody else should not touch them.” Maner said honestly.
“I know who did that.” Qin Yunuan squinted slowly. Nobody would use such a menial trick except Qin Yunzhuang. She must take the chance to add something on the bridal veil when she came in.
But luckily, Qin Yunuan had prepared the solution.
“Fetch the stand-by bridal veil identical to the original one.” Qin Yunuan constantly said in a calm voice. She called Leng Shuang and passed the bridal veil to her, “You go to check what the powder on the bridal veil is. The wedding day of Qin Yuzhuang and the Third Prince has been set on one day next month. At that time, we will send her an identical one as my sincere present.”
Leng Shuang nodded and received the order.
The ranks of escorting had arrived. According to the custom of Qi, the civil officer used a sedan chair, and the military officer used horse riding. The High General, like Leng Changxi, usually did not show up in person, but he came and guided majestic ranks, parading along the Que’er Street, which almost occupied the whole street. Today, the ranks led to many sensations in the Royal City, and even people who just entered the city had known the news: It was the big wedding day of Infanta Ping and Zhenguo Grand General Leng Changxi.
“I heard that Infanta Ping was very beautiful and kind-hearted.”
“Yes, she can really match General Leng with equal family background. Such a happy couple.”
“Wow, such luxurious ranks I have never seen. General Leng must take much care of Infanta Ping.”
People were talking about their marriage, and Leng Changxi was riding a piebald horse. He seldom cared about the gossip of ordinary people. But now it was his first time to feel happy by those ordinary gossip. He would give the best things to his wife. If he hadn’t them, he would try his best to find them and even loot them.
And at the mansion of Grand Commandant, the worried Concubine Chang afforded the time to see Qin Yunuan when Qin Yunuan was about to step into the marriage sedan.
“I feel relieved for your great marriage,” Concubine Chang said with tears, “Your mother, Sister Yang, always took care of me. Now you find a good man. Your mother will feel relieved too in heaven.”
Qin Yunuan knew the thoughts of Concubine Chang. She would remember forever that in her last life, Concubine Chang knelt to plead for her.
“Thanks, Concubine Chang,” Qin Yunuan did not cry. In her heart, she felt very happy, “Now I am married. Thank you for taking much care of Baochuan when I am not here.”
“Absolutely, I will regard Baochuan as my child. He will be the elder brother of Baoduan.” Concubine Chang said and then added in a lower voice, “Later, if you had some questions about sex, you could ask me. Women should use some tricks to hold their men’s heart.”
Qin Yunuan just lowered her head without a word. She remembered that she stayed with Leng Changxi passionately in her room, and Leng Changxi said they would have their first sex on the evening of their wedding day. Yes, it’s tonight.
Luckily, she wore the bridal veil so that nobody saw her shyness. The matchmaking woman carried Qin Yunuan into the marriage sedan happily. All were like a wonderful dream: golden-edged sedan chair, luxurious bride-escorting ranks and crowded people outside the mansion.
But it was a pity that Qin Yunuan could not see the effusive happy face of Leng Changxi because she wore the bridal veil. The close soldiers from the Leng army in the bride-escorting ranks and the shadow guards hiding in the crowds who were responsible for protecting the two people were both confused. They had never seen that General Leng was so cheerful and laughed so loudly and brightly among strangers. They all felt surprised. But when they thought of the future madam Leng in the sedan chair, they believed that General Leng thought highly of this maiden. They knew how they would treat the madam in the future.
“Let’s set off.” The officiate cried loudly. Qin Yunuan was sitting on the sedan. In her last life, she was in her wedding party and sat on the same sedan, but finally, she had a miserable ending. She was burned to death in the marriage sedan. But in this life, she could marry the man she loved, so happy and so sweet.
When they arrived at the Ning’s Mansion, the scene was more bustling. Qin Yunuan strode the fire pan with the firecracker set off. And then the auspicious nanny held the hands of Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi and said many auspicious blessing words. Qin Yunuan was wearing the red bridal veil, but she could hear the happy words from Princess Ning and bright laugh from Prince Ning. She knew that they were really happy because Leng Changxi married the girl he loved, and now she had a higher position – Five-grade Infanta Ping, which could be comparable with Prince Ning’s Mansion. Besides, Qin Yunuan had a celebrated family background, the Mansion of Grand Commandant.
It was the time to kowtow to the old princess.
“OK, you can stand up.” The old princess said in a slightly cold voice, which could not tell the mood. But her words seemed to be unmatched with the happy phenomenon today. Qin Yunuan felt stunned and felt Leng Changxi held her wrists. He pinched her hands and then stood up together with her.
They had worshiped the elders, and now they should worship the Heaven and the Earth, and then they should bow to each other.
“Rites done!” The officiate cried loudly.
According to the custom, Qin Yunuan should be sent into the wedding room. Leng Changxi should toast and greet those guests outside. And then they would have sex in the room. Qin Yunuan felt shy when she thought of that.
But to the surprise of those guests, Leng Changxi said straightly to his noisy subordinates, “I can’t drink more. I won’t drink with you guys. If you really want to drink wine, you can find my elder brother or Leng Wu. They can drink with you guys.”
