Chapter 456： wedding day

Chapter 456 The wedding day

Under Wei Qingwan's eagerly expecting eyes, Wei Yichen stretched out his hand.

Seeing his hand grabbing the handle of the food box, Wei Qingwan was overjoyed.

But the scene that followed made Wei Qingwan's expression stiffen instantly.

Wei Yichen directly threw the food box into the pool next to it.

With a "plop", with the splash of water, the food box sank into the water together with the sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

Wei Qingwan looked into the pool with a pale face, and then Wei Yichen's cold voice sounded in her ears.

"You should be thankful that you have a marriage contract bestowed by the emperor."

After Wei Yichen finished speaking, he ignored Wei Qingwan who was astonished, and left quickly.

Not far ahead, Wei Ruo just witnessed this scene.

She didn't follow anyone intentionally, it was just a coincidence that she ran into her.

Wei Yichen stopped when he passed by Wei Ruo, and looked down at Wei Ruo.

Looking at each other, neither of them spoke.

After a moment of silence, Wei Yichen continued to walk away.

From Wei Yichen's high school reunion to the present, Wei Ruo never once took the initiative to look for Wei Yichen, nor did he take the initiative to congratulate him.

Wei Ruo didn't say that when we met this time.

After Wei Yichen left, Wei Ruo found that Wei Qingwan was staring at him with sharp eyes, as if a sharp blade was about to pierce her body.

Wei Ruo smiled lightly and walked past Wei Qingwan calmly.

Wei Qingwan clenched her fists tightly, and her nails made red marks on the palm of her hand.

###

Time flashed to May.

Bo Zhongyi's mansion is still very busy, because Wei Ruo's wedding is approaching, and even Wei Mingting, who should be busy with the war, is allowed to return to Beijing to send his daughter to marry.

At this time, Xu Fengyuan visited Zhongyibo Mansion again, and Wei Yichen received him in his study.

"Brother Yichen, tell me the truth, did you have any reservations during the provincial examination?" Xu Fengyuan asked.

"I was not capable at the time." Wei Yichen replied.

"Now that you are the champion in high school, why do you need to hide these things?" Xu Fengyuan didn't believe Wei Yichen's gift.

"Brother Xu didn't come to see me today to ask me this question."

Wei Yichen avoided this question.

Xu Fengyuan smiled helplessly, and then said: "Actually, I don't know why I came to look for you today. It seems that there is nothing wrong, but I always feel that I should come here."

When Xu Fengyuan said this, he turned his head and looked at the window next to him, and looked out through the window, wondering what he was looking at.

"Brother Xu, some delusional thoughts should be let go." Wei Yichen said expressionlessly.

"I still can't hide it from you. I haven't forgotten what you said before the exam, and I know that I can't do anything now, but after all, there are still some things I can't let go of, so I came to you by a ghost."

Wei Yichen got up and took a jug of wine from the bookshelf, and handed it to Xu Fengyuan.

Looking at the wine that Wei Yichen handed over, Xu Fengyuan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "Why did you prepare wine in the study?"

"For you."

"Huh? You already guessed that I would come?"

Wei Yichen didn't answer, but took out the wine glass, poured wine for Xu Fengyuan, and handed it to him.

Looking at the wine glass, Xu Fengyuan smiled wryly again, then took it and drank it down.

The strong wine was hot in the throat, and the bitter smile on Xu Fengyuan's face became more intense after drinking.

"Brother Yichen, I'm very curious about what you went through when you suffered that time. I always wanted to ask, but I was afraid of poking your sore spot."

Everyone could feel the changes in Wei Yichen before and after that time, but as classmates and friends, everyone had a tacit understanding and didn't ask for details.

Xu Fengyuan didn't say this until today.

"After experiencing life and death, I knew that I used to be too pampered and thought things too simply, and I couldn't prevent them from happening. I also knew that my ability was limited. Even if I hated, I had to endure it."

Wei Yichen looked calm when he spoke.

Xu Fengyuan didn't feel calm when he heard it: "You have suffered."

"It's not necessarily a bad thing, a fall into a trap will make you wiser."

Speaking, Wei Yichen filled Xu Fengyuan's wine glass again: "Life is unsatisfactory nine out of ten, so brother Xu needs to let go of things that should be let go."

Brother Xu smiled wryly and shook his head, then drank the wine in the glass again.

"Since that's the case, let brother Yichen get drunk with me today!" Xu Fengyuan said.

"Okay." Wei Yichen agreed.

Then Xu Fengyuan got drunk in Wei Yichen's study, and his footsteps were unsteady when he left. His two attendants helped him out the door.

Before he left, he left a brocade box and asked Wei Yichen to pass it to Wei Ruo.

It contained the wedding gift he gave her.

Because he was a man, it was inconvenient for him to give her the gift himself, so Wei Yichen gave it to her.

###

The eighth day of May.

The day finally came.

The Zhongyibo Mansion, which had been quiet for a few days, became lively again.

The red light is hung high, and the whips and gongs are sounded.

The door is full of guests, and the house is full of high friends.

In Changchun Garden.

Wei Ruo put on the wedding dress under the service of the nanny sent by the palace.

The phoenix crown made of pure gold is exquisitely crafted and so ingenious that it can't be seen that it was made in a hurry.

There are several large round pearls inlaid on the top, the largest one in the center is about the size of bayberry, which is very rare.

Wei Ruo's wedding dress was made of Shu brocade tribute from Shu and embroidered with gold silk. It was made by eleven embroiderers working day and night.

The phoenix pattern on it is lifelike, as if it is about to fly out of the clothes at any time and soar above the clouds.

The necklaces, bracelets, and rings worn on the body are all made of gold and the best Hetian jade with transparent texture. Each piece is very heavy and exquisitely crafted.

These are not Wei Ruo's own jewelry, but sent to Wei Ruo by the palace.

It's not that Wei Ruo doesn't have good jewelry, but she doesn't really want to get married, so naturally she won't spend time, energy and money preparing her wedding outfit.

What she didn't expect was that the palace had prepared all these for her, and everything was prepared extremely carefully.

Judging from these details, the palace attaches great importance to this marriage between her and His Highness Prince Rui.

After Wei Ruo finished dressing, Mrs. Yun walked in.

After entering the door, Yun looked at her gorgeously dressed daughter who was as delicate and beautiful as a peony in the first bloom. Yun didn't know how to say the words she had prepared in advance.

Yun Shi looked at Wei Ruo, and for some reason, some crystal clear tears rolled in his eyes.

After a long while, he slowly said: "Ruo'er looks really good today."

Wei Ruo's face was flat, and he turned around and asked the nurse next to him, "When are you leaving?"

Nurse Jin standing on the side looked embarrassed: "Miss, it's still early, you still have some time, talk to Madam."

Wei Ruo turned to look at Yun Shi, and then looked at himself in the mirror.

Mr. Yun stepped forward and reached out to pick up the comb in the hand of the mother: "Mother, let me comb your hair again."
