Chapter 128
Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse
Although She was mentally prepared for the cumbersome etiquette of ancient weddings, in fact, Lord Xu’s wedding was more troublesome than Yu Linglong imagined . From getting off the sedan chair to tying the red silk, looking at the bronze mirror, crossing the brazier and stepping on the tiles, worshiping the heaven and the earth, performing the joyous ceremony, and entering the bridal chamber…this list was so long that even Yu Linglong was so dizzy, but fortunately, the matron of honor was with her throughout the whole process, and she reminded her about everything . After the big gift, she could finally enter the bridal chamber to take a breath .
The bridal veil covering her head, making her breathless, and she could only passively follow the red silk knot in the hands of Lord Xu, groping to follow him .
She could only see a little distance on the ground . He was wearing a pair of black satin moiré boots, and the corners of the robe were embroidered with golden thread and undulating dragons undulated . He led her to step over the high threshold and into the bridal chamber .
Lord Xu personally helped her sit on the bed . Yu Linglong only felt that something hurt under her body . After thinking about it, she realized that it was probably peanuts, lotus seeds, red dates, longans, and other things . She couldn’t help but feel a little funny .
In her ears was his deep and nice voice, which seemed to be a little bit reluctant . Lord Xu whispered: “Linglong, you sit here for a while, and I’ll be back soon . ”
Yu Linglong let go of the red silk in her hand and nodded gently .
Lord Xu stood up and said to the people in the room: “Please be good to the princess,” and he went out .
Hearing the voice of Lord Xu leaving, Yu Linglong uncovered her veil, which had been suppressing her for a long time, to breathe .
Before her hand holding the veil fell, she heard a shocked voice: “Oh, princess, how can you uncover the veil? Put it on again quickly, and wait for the prince to come back later—”
After hearing this voice for so long, she was a little impatient . Yu Linglong tossed the veil and said, “Why are there so many things? I said I don’t wear it, so I won’t wear it!”
The matron of honor was so choked that she couldn’t speak, and she lowered her head in shame .
Who didn’t know that Princess Xu had a hot temper before she got married . Even if she had eaten lions and tigers, they would not dare to break ground in front of the monster .
Yu Linglong opened the kerchief before she had time to look at the room . The room was about seven or eight feet long and four or five feet wide, but it didn’t appear empty . At first glance, it seemed that the room was full of red . All the furnishings were covered with beautifully embroidered red cloth, which looked particularly festive .
Yu Linglong looked at this red ocean, a little speechless . Was this too vulgar!?
The huge room seemed very crowded at the moment because in addition to the matron of honor and maids of honor, Xuan Cao, Ling’er, and others who accompanied Yu Linglong, there were several family maids standing on the ground, all of them dressed well . At first glance, they seemed to be the family maids of the palace .
Yu Linglong was tired for most of the day . Seeing so many people around, she couldn’t help but feel a little annoyed . She said in a deep voice, “Xuan Cao and Ling’er stay, and everyone else will go out . ”
As soon as the voice fell, she heard a clear voice from a maidservant: “The prince told us to serve the princess, and we dare not leave without permission . ”
Yu Linglong looked up and saw that the speaking maid had a long body dressed in a green satin jacket . Her face was thinly covered with powder, and she looked very delicate, with a white towel tied around her waist with a bunch of keys . She looked shrewd and capable .
Yu Linglong glanced at her, but did not show an angry expression, and asked faintly: “What’s your name?”
The maid bowed and replied neatly: “My is Xing Yun, and I serve the prince every day and—”
Yu Linglong interrupted her: “Okay, no one asked you so much . ”
Xing Yun’s face turned red, and her eyes respectfully lowered .
Yu Linglong took the tea brought by Xuan Cao, took a sip, and said calmly: “I don’t need you now . Leave, all of you . ”
Xing Yun’s expression was slightly stiff, and she said softly: “The prince said—”
Yu Linglong smiled coldly, handed the teacup to the Xuan Cao, and said in a deep voice, “Mama Liu . ”
Mama Liu stepped forward immediately: “I am here . ”
Yu Linglong adjusted her cuffs, and asked faintly: “According to the rules when a servant refutes the mistress’s words, what should I do?”
Mother Liu said blankly: “If a servant refuses to listen to the mistress’s instructions, she should slap her mouth . ”
Without waiting for Yu Linglong to say anything, Xing Yun immediately knelt down: “I knew it was wrong, please punish me!”
Seeing that she couldn’t wait to be punished, Yu Linglong smiled instead and said, “Who said I wanted to punish you?”
Xing Yun was startled and looked up at Yu Linglong .
Yu Linglong held Xuan Cao’s hand and slowly stood up . Her bright red dress draped over her, adding a lot of majesty to her beautiful face .
The slender hand supported the phoenix crown on the head, and Yu Linglong said: “Today is a day for me and the prince to rejoice . If I punished you, what would the others say?”
This was her first day in the Xu Palace . A mere maid dared not listen to her orders in public . If she followed her usual thinking, Yu Linglong should punish her severely in order to reprimand her and to stand up for herself .
But Yu Linglong didn’t want to do this . How could this shrewd maid named Xing Yun stand up to her? She didn’t believe that Xing Yunhui had never heard of her name, and dared to show her face in public .
If it was not unintentional, it was intentional .
Xing Yun said what she thought . Her face suddenly blushed, and she lowered her head deeply: “You are so generous, I…I wouldn’t dare . ”
Yu Linglong smiled slightly, and the dimples at the corners of her mouth were looming, but there was a faint coldness: “But if I don’t punish you, what will people say? People will say that I’m so weak, I don’t even dare to offend a maid . How can an incompetent person be worthy of being Princess Xu?”
She slowly leaned over, and said softly, “Do you think I should punish you or not?”
Xing Yun, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn’t help but tremble . She lay low on the ground, looking very frightened: “The princess can forgive me, I know I was wrong . ”
Yu Linglong stood up, held the phoenix crown on her head lazily, and smiled: “Since you know that you are wrong, what should you do?”
Xing Yun slowly raised her right hand, with a bit of crying in her voice: “I…I will slap my mouth!”
Before she dropped her hand on her face, Yu Linglong grabbed her .
Xing Yun only felt a sharp pain in his wrist, and could not help but whisper: “Princess, what are…”
Yu Linglong sneered: “Such a beautiful face . If it gets swollen, it would be too ugly . ”
She had already determined that this maid was here to disarm her . Although she didn’t know who the master behind Xing Yun was, her instinct told her that this was a trap . She couldn’t let Xing Yun get hurt by her .
But if she just let go of this unsure maid, then she would be too aggrieved .
If Xing Yun left the room intact, then she was sure that before tomorrow morning, the newly-arrived Princess Xu’s reputation for cowardice and stupidity would spread throughout the entire Xu Palace . At that time, no matter what, the servants would dare to bully her .
With a brilliant smile at the corner of her mouth, Yu Linglong glanced at Ling’er . Ling’er brought a red sandalwood makeup box on the dressing table over and presented it to Yu Linglong .
Her jade-like hands lightly relaxed and opened the makeup box, revealing the things inside .
This was the makeup given to her by Shi Huiru’s mother, Lady Shi, and it was a set of sewing boxes made of red gold . Her white fingers traversed the golden basket, scissors, and rulers until she finally picked up an inch-long golden needle .
Seeing the needle in Yu Linglong’s hand, Xing Yun couldn’t help but step back . This time, her face finally showed real fear .
“Princess, I was really wrong! Please spare me, I will never dare to offend you again!”
Who didn’t know how painful a needle was? What’s more frightening is that no matter how deep the needle is pierced, it will not leave any scars on her body . Yu Linglong was determined to use such a poisonous trick .
Xing Yun’s eyes were filled with two horrified tears . She was staring at the golden needle glowing with icy light, and a layer of goosebumps had formed on her body involuntarily .
Didn’t the mistress tell her to just test Princess Xu? If she was not punished, then she would have the final say in the palace of Xu, and no one would look up to the weak Princess Xu; if she was punished, then the next day they will hear of Princess Xu’s fierce and savage reputation, and will naturally be greatly diminished in prestige and popularity . Naturally, the servants of the Xu Palace will not support her, and Xing Yun can still take care of the Xu palace .
No matter what the result was, it will be beneficial and harmless to her, so she will boldly provoke her .
But the situation in front of her was that the princess wanted to punish her, and she had to punish her . If there were no injuries on her body, who would believe that the princess really punished her? Maybe she will be accused of slandering the princess!
Xing Yun was not a fool . She can’t take this loss in front of her .
Rolling her eyes, Xing Yun suddenly burst into tears, as if she was frightened and lost her mind: “Princess, please spare my life! I will never again—”
Such a call will surely be heard by someone outside, so let’s see what Yu Linglong does!
It was a pity that just as her voice started to rise, her open mouth was suddenly stuffed with a thick veil .
Ling’er, who was on the side, had quick eyes and quick hands . Seeing her about to scream, she immediately blocked her mouth with a veil .
Yu Linglong smiled approvingly at Ling’er, but the eyes looking at Xing Yun were a bit colder .
It seems that this girl is really brave, can she really be regarded as a fool?
Xing Yun’s mouth was gagged, and she couldn’t help panicking even more . She wanted to struggle but was firmly suppressed by Ling’er . She could only passively kneel on the ground, staring at Yu Linglong’s every move in terror .
Xing Yun was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, staring at Yu Linglong with both eyes, but Yu Linglong was not in a hurry to start . She picked out a gold thread from the sewing box and slowly threaded the needle .
To say nothing of Xing Yun, even Ling’er and Xuan Cao felt a little weird . What was the lady going to do? Wasn’t she going to punish Xing Yun? Why did she thread the needle?
The long gold thread dragged on the needle’s tail, which looked extraordinarily gorgeous . Yu Linglong looked at the sun and was obviously satisfied with her masterpiece .
Holding the golden needle with her pink fingertips, Yu Linglong finally fell on Xing Yun’s body .
“You are looking for death by yourself . Don’t blame me for being cruel!”
Before the words fell, a sharp golden light had already crossed the sky, and it pierced Xing Yun’s arm!
“Hmm—” Xing Yun, who was gagged, immediately let out a painful groan . Yu Linglong’s needle had enough strength, and the inch-long golden needle suddenly sank more than halfway, piercing her skin and flesh, and her wrist was almost pierced through!
Before the first wave of pain passed, Yu Linglong had already pulled the gold thread at the tail of the needle, pulled out the gold needle neatly, changed the place, and stabbed it a second time fiercely!
This stab was not as deep as the first stab, not because Yu Linglong’s strength was not enough, but because the needle stuck directly into Xing Yun’s bone . The pain caused her to turn her eyes white and she almost fainted .
The piercing pain caused Xing Yun’s forehead to betray a fine cold sweat, and there was a terrified whine deep in her throat, and you couldn’t tell whether she was begging for mercy or groaning .
Yu Linglong smiled coldly and pulled out the gold needle again .
Just when Xing Yun thought the torture was over, the needle had already pierced a third time .
This third time was not as fast and powerful as the first two times . Yu Linglong had a wistful smile on her face, and her fingertips slowly applied force, slowly piercing the thin and long golden needle into Xing Yun’s flesh .
If the first two stitches were fierce, the third stitch was a long torture . The sharp tingling pushed deep into her body little by little, and each one was a deeper layer of pain, and she tried to escape, but couldn’t . She couldn’t avoid it, but the fear in her heart was constantly spreading .
What kind of woman is this, and why is she so cruel!?
Xing Yun is not a weak person . Even before coming to the Royal Palace of Xu, she had undergone similar training, but the punishment in the house was nothing more than a slap, a board, a prick, and the like . They were all skin injuries . She was pricked by a needle, but it was just a little bit into the skin . Had there ever been a time when it was pricked so deeply?
This kind of pain seemed like she had pierced her internal organs with a needle .
It wasn’t until the entire golden needle entered Xing Yun’s body that Yu Linglong withdrew her hand in time .
Xing Yun at this time no longer needed Ling’er’s suppression . Her forehead was full of cold sweat, and her body was trembling constantly, not knowing whether it was because of fear or pain .
Yu Linglong took the veil that Xuan Cao handed over, wiped her hands, and smiled and said, “This time, do you know what to do in the future?”
Ling’er pulled out the veil from Xing Yun’s mouth, but Xing Yun didn’t even have the strength to groan at this moment, just clenched her teeth to resist the pain from the piercing site .
Yu Linglong obviously didn’t have much patience . Seeing that Xing Yun did not answer, she pulled up the gold thread on the tail of the needle, and drew the gold needle out!
The sudden pain caused Xing Yun to let out a miserable scream .
At the same time, Ling’er picked up the teacup on the table and slammed it on the ground .
There was a rush of footsteps outside the door, which was obviously caused by Xing Yun’s cry . A voice asked outside the door: “Princess, are you okay?”
Ling’er raised her voice: “It’s okay, the maid accidentally dropped a teacup . ”
The people outside were relieved, and said respectfully: “Then the maid should ask to be excused . ”
Listening to the sound of footsteps, Xing Yun finally realized that she overestimated her ability to resist Yu Linglong .
Trying to endure the pain in her body, Xing Yun said with difficulty: “…I will remember, from now on, the princess…the princess is the mistress of the maid, what the princess said…is what…I will never dare to disobey . ”
Yu Linglong nodded in satisfaction .
Her cold, inky eyes lifted up and looked at the other shivering maids in the room .
Blowing the sharp armor on her hand, Yu Linglong asked in a leisurely manner: “What have you seen?”
Several maids knelt down in terror, and said while trembling, “The maids, the maids did not see anything . ”
