It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 591 Another Red Wedding Dress
Facing Yang Xianrong's gentle smile, Liu Cong was slightly distracted. In his heart, he somewhat recalled the days in Jinyong City, when there was also a cute and silly woman in front of him.

His vision became blurry, and not only did his head begin to hurt, but even the healed wound on his abdomen was aching. He quietly touched the bloody hole and responded to Yang Xianrong with a smile.

"I will agree to whatever Third Sister says."

"I want to marry out of the Pingyang Palace." Yang Xianrong looked at him, "I am alone. I don't need guards or maids, nor do I need a dowry or gold, silver or jewelry. I just want to... really marry someone, a man who is worthy of me marrying."

At this moment, the two men were looking at her, with a mixture of emotions in their hearts.

Liu Yao thought of the scene when Yang Xianrong walked into the Luoyang Palace step by step, carrying the phoenix robe. At that time, he was amazed at her beauty and admired her courage even more. He even stretched out his arms to grab her phoenix robe, hoping that she would not go forward.

Now, she wants to walk out of the palace and marry him.

This is a metaphor and also a great courage.

Everyone in the world will know that Yang Xianrong, the former queen of the Jin Dynasty, walked out of the palace just to marry a general of the Han Dynasty. Is this a marriage of inferiority or humiliation?
"Third sister." Liu Yao had already grabbed Yang Xianrong's hands, trembling slightly.

"General." Yang Xianrong looked at him with a smile, "Isn't it good?"

"That's great. But... I'm afraid I'll be too unfair to you." Liu Yao's eyes were filled with her.

"Why should I feel wronged?" Yang Xianrong sighed softly, "It's a pity that I don't have any relatives around to marry me, and I'm afraid you will be picky about the gift..."

"No, no, no." Liu Yao denied it three times.

"Why, am I not a relative?" Liu Cong also laughed, "Let's do this as soon as possible. Our great general who is not interested in women has been waiting for this day for a long time."

As a result, Yang Xianrong didn't do anything, but Liu Yao blushed and gave Liu Cong a sidelong look.

"Am I right?" Liu Cong smiled even more happily. "Let me think about this. Should we just have a simple meal?"

"Actually, there's no need for that." Yang Xianrong said again.

"No, no, no, I can't let you down. I can't let my great general down!" Liu Cong began to count the auspicious times with his fingers. "The weather is getting colder, but the day of frost is a good day. It's more than a month away. At least I want to prepare a wedding dress for you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yang Xianrong did not refuse and nodded to him respectfully. Because she was being pulled by Liu Yao, she could not kowtow.

Liu Yao was laughing so hard that his mouth could not close. The matter was settled, and Yang Xianrong turned around and returned to the Golden Phoenix Palace. Liu Yao also planned to return to his general's residence, but Liu Cong stopped him and said that since Liu Yi had fallen, there would no longer be a crown prince in the world, and he would soon make his eldest son the crown prince.

Liu Yao pondered for a moment and said, "Liu Yi let the tiger hurt people with the intention of rebellion. You should directly issue an imperial decree to announce this to the world. However, let Jin Zhun draft the imperial decree and do not mention other people."

After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that someone was plotting against Liu Yi, and Liu Yao must have had something to do with it. But Jin Zhun wanted to marry his daughter to Liu Cong's son, who would be the father-in-law of the emperor in the future, so he had to share the responsibility.

Liu Cong agreed, but then asked, "So, after the wedding, will you attack Chang'an? I think it would be a better place to be the capital."

"Okay, I'll go and prepare as well." Liu Yao readily agreed, "I'll leave some of the 80,000 people outside the city for you. At least you need someone to guard here."

"It's okay, you can take them all. I don't need so many people, and there's no food. You know, there are spies reporting that people in the north have died of starvation and freezing, and some have even eaten tree bark. The situation is very bad. So, we have to take Chang'an as soon as possible and expand our territory."

"Okay." Liu Yao said with a serious face, "Then call the left and right generals to come over and quickly review the current situation and see how to attack Chang'an."

Soon, the Pingyang Palace became lively again, but when people saw Liu Cong again, they were more awed. He just solved Liu Yi, another brother of his, what will he do in the future?

Therefore, when everyone looked at Liu Yao, there was a lot more complexity in their eyes.

When everyone heard that Liu Yao was going to attack Chang'an after the Frost Descent, they all had their own complaints, but they also had to actively prepare for war and stockpile food. After all, this was what the Han emperor had to do.

Regardless, Yang Xianrong and Liu Yao's marriage was quietly going on. Liu Cong sent someone to find the best weaver girl to make a crimson dress with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum patterns for Yang Xianrong, but this time the style had a bit more exotic flavor, and the skirt was embroidered with fur.

Liu Yao even wanted to sew the tiger skin on the hem of her skirt, but Yang Xianrong refused, saying that it was a hunter's outfit, not a wedding dress. Later, Liu Cheng came up with an idea, saying that the tiger they had killed long ago had a circle of white hair on its neck, which was very beautiful, so it would be better to make it into the collar and cuffs of the wedding dress, which would also look very beautiful.

Liu Yao quietly asked Liu Cheng how the tiger died.

Liu Cheng was quite proud, saying that he had been using the blood and flesh of migratory geese to attract tigers to the courtyard. Of course, he was actually very scared, so he hid in a corner and watched the tiger's every move. When the tiger was hungry, it would go out to eat people. But there were always some pieces of meat in the courtyard, so it refused to leave.

Later, seeing that the situation was almost over, Yang Xianrong gave him enough drugs to mix with meat and asked him to throw it to the tiger. After the tiger ate, it naturally fell asleep. He and Cao Zheng threw stones at it, and after many attempts, they bravely walked over with the young soldiers of the Shaoying Group, tied up all the tiger's limbs tightly, and then killed it with a knife.

Later, thinking that the tiger was a treasure, he quietly dragged it aside and handed it over to Bian Heng to deal with after the matter was over. Bian Heng did not agree to remove the fur from the tiger's neck, but when he heard that it was for Yang Xianrong's wedding dress, he did it himself and sewed the collar and cuffs by himself, showing his extraordinary craftsmanship.

Even though this wedding dress was not as gorgeous and noble as the golden phoenix robe back then, it still had its own charm. Therefore, when Yang Xianrong walked out of the Golden Phoenix Palace alone in her wedding dress, many people followed her silently.

In the early morning of the Pingyang Palace, there was a brilliant glow of sunlight. The woman in red makeup had long lost her youthfulness and looked more graceful and elegant. Even against the backdrop of the bright red color, she looked so charming and elegant that it was impossible to take your eyes off her.
