Her guards

Chapter 245 Auspicious Day
At the Duke of Ding'an's residence, only the maid Asheng lives in Miss Yang's room.

Maps of various sizes were hung in the hall.

Yang Luo stood before the map, with palace maids holding tea and toiletries, quietly attending to her.

She looked at it very carefully, and occasionally looked down at the letters scattered on the table.

Suddenly, a commotion arose outside.

"...This is my home, let me in—"

"...Without Miss Asheng's permission? This is outrageous..."

"...Ah Sheng! Ah Sheng!"

Yang Hui's shouts came from outside.

Yang Luo waved her hand, and a palace maid hurried out of the room, calling out loudly, "Miss Hui, please come in."

With shouts, Yang Hui was let in from outside the courtyard gate.

She looked annoyed and flicked her sleeves.

"This is outrageous! This is my home! I can't just walk in like this!"

Yang Hui rushed in while speaking, but when she saw the maid standing in the hall turn around, her voice paused.

The maid still had that same ordinary face.

She was dressed simply, hadn't done her makeup, and her hair was simply tied up.

But for some reason, it gives off a certain, indescribable, imposing aura.

Perhaps it was because of the eunuchs guarding the door who never looked people in the eye, or perhaps it was because of the several palace maids standing beside her, each of whom exuded an extraordinary aura.

"A dog relying on its master's power!" Yang Hui came to her senses and stomped her foot in embarrassment and anger at being intimidated.

"Ah Sheng, you maid, don't go too far." She shouted irritably, then looked around the room. She had come to see this courtyard before it was given to Yang Luo and her servant, and it wasn't very nice, not comparable to the one she lived in.

But at this moment, a quick glance at it gives the impression of luxury and dazzling opulence.

"When was this added?" Yang Hui couldn't help but walk to a chaise lounge and reach out to stroke it.

The workmanship and materials...

"Is this another gift from His Majesty?"

She snorted twice.

Let's take a look at the interior furnishings.

Although I don't know what it was like when Miss Yang was here... Actually, Miss Yang didn't stay at home for more than a few days. She stayed at the National Academy and then went to Longxi.

Even after Miss Yang went to Longxi, the emperor continued to bestow gifts upon her.

Oh dear, so all these imperial gifts in the room were used by this maid?
"Hey, don't mess around with my cousin's room," Yang Hui warned the maid, glaring at her. "You should just stay in your maid's room!"

Yang Luo ignored her ramblings, took the tea from the maid, and took a sip.

"What are you doing so early in the morning?" she asked.

Yang Hui then remembered her purpose: "Is today A Luo's wedding day?"

To avoid trouble, His Majesty did not send anyone from the Duke of Ding'an's mansion to Miss Yang's wedding. The Duke of Ding'an was naturally happy not to go either. It was so far and dangerous. If something happened in the capital, he could just shut himself in and hide. But in Longxi, there would be nowhere to hide.

Yang Luo smiled and said, "It's rare that you still remember."

"What are you saying!" Yang Hui snorted. "That's my cousin! And her husband is Wei Jiao! Today's wedding must be very lively."

She looked longingly at him, then glanced at her maid, Ah Sheng, with a smug expression.

"Although we can't see it with our own eyes, our family will still be having a big banquet today. I've already told my father and mother, and they've already booked a banquet at a restaurant outside."

Yang Luo looked at her.

In this life, Yang Luo's identity is different, and the behavior of his family members around him is also different.

In her previous life, when she got married, Yang Hui complained that the firecrackers were too noisy and disturbed her sleep, and threw a tantrum when the groom came to pick her up.

Humans are really interesting.

Power and status are truly wonderful.

"Don't order from outside," she said calmly, referring to a palace attendant by name.

The eunuch entered with a smile: "What are your orders, young lady?"

"Miss Yang is getting married today, and the Duke of Ding'an's mansion is celebrating with her," Yang Luo said. "Go to the palace and tell the Imperial Kitchen to send over the banquet."

The eunuch responded and turned to leave.

Yang Hui, watching from the side, was momentarily dazed. Why did it feel like her home was now a palace?
No, even living in the palace doesn't mean you can just ask for whatever you want.

Princess Heisei could certainly have done that in the past.

Now, it's Ms. Yang's turn.

Yang Hui straightened her back, but when she saw the maids in the hall, she still felt that something was strange.

This maid seems to have a straighter back than Miss Yang.

……

……

When Mo Zheng was helped off the carriage, she was still able to keep her back straight and her steps steady. She felt that this was the reward for the good health she had accumulated over the years of killing and fleeing.

The outside world was still noisy, with firecrackers booming. Although you couldn't see them, you could hear that there were more people than in Qin'an City.

Stepping over the high threshold and onto the bluestone path into the Wei family home, the hustle and bustle of the outside world seemed to be shut out.

She could sense that there were many people in the Wei family mansion, and she could see the festive decorations through the swaying cracks, but compared to the lively atmosphere outside, this place was... lifeless.

He stared blankly at them, and said "Congratulations" in a blank tone.

In this blank atmosphere, the wedding ceremony was completed, and the couple was led to their new home. They sat down, and as the matchmaker spoke auspicious words, footsteps stopped in front of them, and then the veil was lifted.

Mo Zheng had already closed her eyes slightly beforehand to avoid blurring her vision when the light suddenly came on, but as the veil was lifted, the shadow of the person also covered her.

Mo Zheng's vision was perfectly clear, and she could clearly see Wei Jiao standing in front of her.

He, who always dressed in black, was dressed in red today. Mo Zheng suddenly recalled the first time she saw him in White Horse Town; he was dressed in black when he dismounted, and the hem of his clothes fluttered, revealing a bright red lining underneath…

Even that glimpse of crimson was striking; at this moment, Wei Jiao, dressed in red, resembled a blooming flower in all its splendor.

Mo Zheng felt that she, like everyone else around her, was numb.

Then I saw a slight smile on Wei Jiao's calm face.

Mo Zheng suddenly snapped out of her daze and quickly looked away, but the wedding attendant's laughter had already started to ring out beside her.

"...The bride was mesmerized by the groom," she said, then looked at Wei Jiao, "Oh my, with such a handsome groom, who wouldn't be mesmerized!"

As the matchmaker's exaggerated voice faded, the women in the room fell silent. After a moment, they all chorused, "Yes, yes!"

The matchmaker felt something strange lingering in the festive atmosphere after entering the Wei family home. She swallowed back any more celebratory words and directed the bride and groom to sit on the bed, drink the wine, and quickly complete the ceremony.

"Alright, everyone, please take your seats."

The women in the room all left.

Wei Jiao stood still, and the matchmaker didn't dare to urge her. The women of the Wei family didn't care, nor did the maids brought by Miss Yang. As for her, the matchmaker... well, that was that.

The matchmaker lowered her head and left, closing the door behind her.

Mo Zheng was somewhat surprised that Wei Jiao hadn't left; apparently, the groom was supposed to go out to toast the guests.

Was it that the Wei family didn't understand, or were they deliberately bullying him and preventing him from going? Mo Zheng looked at Wei Jiao sitting beside her and asked softly, "Don't you need to go and offer the toasts?"

Wei Jiao glanced at her and said, "I am not in good health and it is inconvenient for me to drink alcohol, so my two elder brothers will drink in my place."

As soon as he finished speaking, the bride next to him, her eyes lit up, and she said, "Okay."

"Good for what?" Wei Jiao chuckled. What kind of bride would say "good" when she hears that the groom is unwell?
“I mean, this is how brothers in the family should use it,” Mo Zheng said with a smile, raising her eyebrows slightly. “Family members should use it this way.”

Wei Jiao laughed heartily.

The stagnant atmosphere in the room dissipated.

Mo Zheng took a deep breath, held her neck, and stood up: "Stop laughing, quickly help me take these things apart, my head is about to break."

"Him?" Wei Jiao glanced inside; everyone had left.

She was surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs, all bestowed upon her by the emperor. She was not a real young lady and probably did not want to order them around.

He himself wouldn't even let the maids of the Wei family get close to him.

Indeed, he is more suitable to do it.

Wei Jiao got up and followed him to the dressing table, looking at the head full of jewels...

His hands have handled countless jewels.

They also picked up all sorts of filth.

In his eyes, jewelry and dirt are the same.

But what he was looking at at that moment was his bride's hair ornament.

bride.

He actually got married!

"Isn't it pretty?" Mo Zheng asked, looking at Wei Jiao behind her in the mirror, who seemed lost in thought. She frowned at her reflection, "But it's so heavy, my head is about to break off."

He shook his head as he spoke.

"We won't get married next time."

"What are you talking about? You're even thinking about getting married again? With whom?" Wei Jiao snorted, reached out and pressed her head down, looking at her reflection in the mirror.

According to custom, he could not lift the veil during the wedding procession, so the two met but did not see each other along the way.

Having just lifted the veil, he was too wary of his surroundings to look closely.

I just felt my face was flushed and pale, and my eyes were blank, which was quite funny.

Now calm down and look carefully.
Perhaps because she had applied a thick layer of powder, she no longer needed to cover up her imperfections with a layer of gray powder as usual. Her whole body was cleansed of dust, and she radiated a fluorescent glow like a precious pearl.

She also applied red lipstick, like blood.
Wei Jiao's gaze was involuntarily fixed on her lips.

Was her makeup too strange? Noticing his gaze, Mo Zheng reached up and touched her face, raising an eyebrow as she said, "Looks good, right?"

Wei Jiao smiled, looked away from her lips, tilted her head slightly, and looked at herself in the mirror.

“I still look better dressed like this,” he said.

The woman in the mirror laughed heartily, her smile and the jewels on her head shimmering and sparkling.

.......
……

Although not many relatives and friends were invited, the banquet at Weijiabao was very large.

A banquet was set up outside the door, and anyone could sit down and eat on this day.

This prompted people from all over Longxi City to come and offer their congratulations.

Wei Cui stood on the highest pavilion in Weijiabao, overlooking the bustling scene.

"My Wei family has given Miss Yang the utmost respect," he said with a smile.

"It's very quiet over there, young master," said Master Wei in a low voice, looking somewhat annoyed. "That little brat didn't go crazy or cause any trouble. Is he really cured?"

Wei Cui glanced at him: "Who are you cursing?"

Master Wei shuddered, raised his hand and slapped himself hard twice: "I was wrong."

Wei Cui turned his gaze back to the courtyard where the new house was located.

“If he causes trouble, I will give Miss Yang face; if he doesn’t cause trouble, I will also give Miss Yang face,” he said. “The outcome will be good, and it will satisfy Prince Mo.”

Mentioning Prince Mo, Master Wei, with the slap mark on his face, hurriedly said, "Did he really get in? We've been watching the people coming and going in Longxi for the past few days, but there's been absolutely no trace of them. Could it be a lie?"

It's not that I'm lying.

Wei Cui's gaze swept over the Wei family's residence, both inside and out. This young prince was good at hiding, and he must be hiding somewhere in Longxi City at this moment.

"No rush," he sneered. "Once you're in Longxi, you won't escape my grasp."
