Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 1067 - 1065_1

Chapter 1067: 1065_1

The next day was Yun’er’s wedding day. Despite Xiao’er and Zhu Yan both being pregnant, they were determined to attend Yun’er’s wedding on the ship.

Just as Xiao’er said, even if they couldn’t participate in the ceremony, they wanted to be present on the ship.

Shangguan Xuanyi knew of Xiao’er’s stubbornness and had no choice but to agree. He couldn’t miss the wedding, and Xiao’er could only eat food she made herself to avoid throwing up, so he really had no other option.

Most importantly, he could use this opportunity to lure the snake out of hiding.

The grand wedding ship, supervised and designed by Brother Ri, was initially meant for sea trade and was only half built when Brother Ri planned on hosting the wedding at sea. Because there wasn’t enough time to build a new ship, Xiao’er offered this ship. Brother Ri made some alterations to its original design, transforming it from an economical vessel to a lavish luxury.

The ship was meticulously designed and extravagantly decorated from the outside to the inside! It was enough to leave one in awe.

Only those of notable social standing from the Imperial City were allowed on board, limited to one maid or servant each.

The ship sailed from the Huai River to the seaport. By midday, it had reached the open sea. The weather was fine, and many ladies and young women, excitedly standing on the deck, gazed out at the limitless sea.

Many of them had been living in women’s quarters and had travelled by boat or been in picture cabins, but most had never really been out at sea, much less experienced heavy winds and waves.

Even some of the civil servants and scholars had never sailed the seas before.

Some scholars even started to improvise poems on the spot, enhancing the joyful atmosphere.

The wedding march soon began...

The main hall on the first floor was romantically decorated. As the guqin music reverberated...

Yun’er, under the witness of many relatives and friends, was slowly led towards Brother Ri by Shen Chengyao...

Xiao’er, lying in a private room on the third floor, sighed as she listened to the bustle below: "Why did I get attacked just yesterday? Even a delay of two days would have been better!"

Yang Mei, taken aback, replied: "Princess, shouldn’t you be hoping to avoid any attack altogether? Why must there be an attack?"

Xiao’er glanced at Yang Mei: "There’s a saying that if disaster is to strike, it can’t be dodged."

Ever since human society was established, there has never been a lack of conflict.

When one possesses something that others covet, those who desperately want it will try to attain it, which is why there are always hidden attacks.

There will always be covert attacks, and all they can do is to prevent these attacks from succeeding.

Wait, it sounded like Jingrui began his oath...

Darn it... She missed this historic moment!

Cursing the technologically backwards ancient society that didn’t even have cameras, Xiao’er lamented. Even if she couldn’t attend in person, she could have at least watched a live broadcast!

The wedding ceremony was concluded in less than an hour, and the guests were either playing mahjong in the main hall, sunbathing on the deck, debating poetry, or competing in different games.

Some were dining at the buffet, others were having drinks and chatting at the bar. Everyone was having a great time.

When Shangguan Xuanyi brought the lunch he personally prepared to Xiao’er, he was met with her sulking expression.

Knowing that she could not even watch the excitement while lying in bed, Shangguan Xuanyi felt somewhat guilty, fearing that she might become bored.

He thought that since the only people staying on this floor were his brothers and people from Xiao’er’s family, and other guests were not allowed up here, he suggested, "How about I take you out on the deck to get some sun? However, you have to lie down on a sun lounger, you can’t sit up."

Xiao’er quickly nodded in agreement: "I knew Brother Shangguan loved me the most! I love you the most too!"

Shangguan Xuanyi had expected Xiao’er to say this. As long as she got her way, she would always say this. If she didn’t get her way, she would act upset and say, "I hate you the most; don’t talk to me from now on!"

Then, not even half an hour later, she would cling to him and start chatting non-stop.

"Wasn’t it you who said the day before yesterday that you hated me the most and didn’t want to talk to me?" Although he said this, the corners of Shangguan Xuanyi’s mouth couldn’t help but turn upward, clearly pleased with Xiao’er’s admission of love for him.

Upon hearing this, Xiao’er pretended not to understand: "Who was that? Everyone loves my husband, and his voice is heavenly, who could hate you or refuse to speak with you? Whoever it was, it definitely wasn’t me!"

Yang Mei couldn’t help but chuckle at Xiao’er’s reaction, thinking to herself how adorable the princess could be at times.

"That was a pig!" As Shangguan Xuanyi lifted Xiao’er, he looked into her eyes and said with a smile.

Xiao’er’s expression froze, and a second later she snapped back: "You’re the pig."

Shangguan Xuanyi laughed softly: "I didn’t say it was you, I was talking about the person who said they hated me the other day. Was that you?"

"No, I’m not talking to you anymore!" Xiao’er turned her head away. He was terrible!

"Didn’t you just say that everyone loves me, that my voice is like a heavenly melody, why won’t you talk to me anymore?" Shangguan Xuanyi couldn’t help but tease her.

Xiao’er retorted: "That was a moment ago, things have changed! Don’t you know how unpredictable the sea can be?"

...

On the morning of the next day, the ship arrived at a port and docked.

All the guests who attended the wedding disembarked here and boarded another ship to return to the Imperial City.

The luxurious ship was to be boarded by the wedding party from the Eastern Jin Dynasty and then continue its journey towards the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

The Eastern Jin Dynasty’s wedding party was quite a sight and treated Yun’er and her family’s guests with great respect.

Sometimes, from the way the groom’s side behaves, one can tell the status of the bride in the heart of the groom and his family.

The servants are adept at reading their masters’ expressions and carrying out tasks accordingly. Mrs. Liu and Shen Chengyao, observing the respectful demeanor of the wedding party, knew that their masters must be very satisfied with this marriage and had communicated their affection to their servants, or else they would not dare to show any disrespect.

With her daughter being married far off in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and they wouldn’t be able to be there to watch over her, they could only scrutinize some minor details and use them to convince themselves that their daughter would be very happy.

After all the guests had left the ship, only Yun’er’s closest relatives remained to bid her farewell.

Shen Chengyao supporting the reluctant Mrs. Liu, Shangguan Xuanyi carrying Xiao’er, Jingrui, blushing, but shamelessly holding Zhu Yan, they all bid goodbye to Yun’er, left the ship and boarded another.

Seeing that she was about to part from her loved ones, Yun’er couldn’t help but shed tears, and she felt a surge of regret about her marriage.

Brother Ri held Yun’er’s hand tightly: "I will take you back to see your parents."

The decks of both ships were filled with people who waved hard at each other until they could no longer see each other’s faces clearly.
