Chapter 33 Engagement Banquet
Since Wei Yulan left, Jun Qingli and Jun Xuelan who woke up were gradually recovering and the weather gradually became warmer.
Jun Jiuning often goes to take care of the two and manages his "good sister" character.
That day she went to find Jun Xuelan again and found that she was leaning against the head of the bed to embroider the flowers.
Seeing that her face was a little pale and less rosy, Jun Jiuning said half-angry and half-persuasion: "I haven't recovered yet. Why are you doing a job? You are weak now, so you should have more rest. Hey, the embroidered handkerchief is still bright red!"
Jun Xuelan felt a little embarrassed and hid the embroidery shed in her arms. Her fingertips were red, and her voice was like a mosquito: "At the beginning of next month, Lord Mu will come to propose marriage, and my father wants me to start preparing my own wedding dress."
Jun Jiuning then realized that it was Jun Xuelan and Mu Yun’s wedding date that was approaching.
Unexpectedly, the lady Guanhou of the ancient family also had to prepare her wedding dress.
Jun Jiuning suddenly became interested: "Good sister, don't hide it, let me see."
Jun Xuelan took out the embroidery shed from her arms with red cheeks and handed it to Jun Jiuning.
On the red silk, the patterns of phoenixes wearing peonies are embroidered, red and white double petals, and golden phoenix wings are complemented by each other, which is extremely exquisite.
"This is so embroidered! Xue Lan's girl red is so good, I can't tell it on weekdays." Jun Jiuning praised the cheesy sincerely, with her eyes shining brightly.
Jun Xuelan was rarely praised. She was so happy that she didn't know what to say. She just gently stroked the silk silk with her fingers, her eyes were gentle and affectionate.
Jun Jiuning looked at her happy look and thought of Jun Xuelan's ending in the original book for no reason.
In the original book, after Emperor Chu gave Jun Xuelan and Mu Yun a marriage, "Jun Jiuning" kept holding a grudge and went to trouble Jun Xuelan from time to time. But her behavior only made Mu Yun more and more disgusted and did not successfully destroy the engagement between the two.
It was not until Mu Yun came to propose marriage that the two of them had formally engaged in a banquet. "Jun Jiuning" spent a lot of money to bribe a girl in Prince Ning's mansion and poisoned Jun Xuelan's tea, causing Jun Xuelan to die on the spot at the engagement banquet.
"Sister, what are you thinking?"
Jun Xuelan put his hand in front of Jun Jiuning's eyes and shook it, interrupting Jun Jiuning's trance.
Jun Jiu Ning came to his senses and looked at Jun Xuelan with a puzzled look on his face and said with awkward smile: "It's nothing, I suddenly feel a little hungry and want to eat crystal horse hoof cake."
After hearing her explanation, Jun Xuelan suddenly smiled brightly, her eyes bent into a crack, which could be sweet enough to the heart: "I knew that the emperor must want to have snacks, so I specially sent someone to prepare your favorite refreshments!"
She waved to the servant who was serving the side: "Go and bring all the flower tea and crystal horseshoe cake prepared in the kitchen."
It turned out that she guessed that Jun Jiuning would come today and was ready long ago.
Jun Jiuning looked at Jun Xuelan's true feelings for her and her heartfelt appearance. She suddenly felt sad and her nose was inexplicably sour: She is obviously a small character in the book, why can she be so good and so likable?
And such a good girl died so unjustly and so regretfully.
"Xuelan," Jun Jiuning suddenly shouted.
Jun Xuelan blinked, tilted her head slightly, and responded seriously: "What's wrong? Sister Huang?"
Jun Jiuning had a solemn expression and said softly, "I will definitely protect you and prevent you from getting into trouble."
In this life, she will not take action to harm Jun Xuelan again, and she must block that cup of tea that day and let Jun Xuelan spend the engagement banquet safely. Although she doesn't know what impact it will have on the plot if Jun Xuelan and Mu Yun's marriage is promoted, in order to protect Jun Xuelan, she can only take one step at a time.
Her nonsensical words made Jun Xuelan confused, but looking at Jun Jiuning's serious look, Jun Xuelan thought she was talking about her illness, so she nodded and responded: "I believe that Emperor Sister, Emperor Sister is the best for me~"
Jun Jiuning smiled and touched her head, looking at the bright red Xipa in Jun Xuelan's hand with some worries.
It was soon the day when the Mu Mansion went to the Ning Prince's Mansion to propose marriage. On this day, the Ning Prince's Mansion held a banquet and invited important officials, relatives and friends.
The entire capital knew that King Ning regarded Princess Xuelan as the pearl in his hand, and he came with great face.
Jun Jiuning was naturally no exception. Not only did he come in person, but he also brought Jun Qingli.
Jun Qingli didn't want to come, and felt embarrassed when he met Mu Yun. In the past, because of Jun Jiuning, he had no good impression of Mu Yun, and the two couldn't even nod. But Jun Jiuning forced him to come and said that he was supporting the scene for Jun Xuelan, so he had to come.
After all, both of them were "brothers and brothers" who had cold symptoms. As soon as they met, they were very close. Several of them kept chatting until Prince Ning personally came to the living room to urge Jun Xuelan to go to the front yard to meet Mu Yun, and under the witness of everyone, they completed the "six rituals" of engagement with him.
Jun Xuelan was very nervous. She had clenched many folds of the big red chees that had been embroidered by her. She looked outside from time to time, looking restless.
King Ning was worried that something was wrong, so he asked someone to pour hot tea to warm Jun Xuelan.
As soon as the tea was brought to him, Jun Jiuning suddenly stopped the glass of water: "Hey! Don't drink it first!"
Her voice couldn't help but be a little loud, and several people cast doubtful eyes at her. Jun Jiuning's face froze and explained: "Uncle Wang, you don't know that if we girls drink too much water, they will be very convenient when they are nervous. When we are about to leave the "Six Lis" on stage, it will be a long time. I'm afraid Xue Lan will feel uncomfortable when she is holding it in, so I'd better not drink it. I'll rub her hands for her."
Her words were reasonable, and King Ning suddenly realized and thanked: "It's still the princess who thinks carefully, so please help Lan'er warm her hands."
Jun Jiuning looked at the cup of tea being taken away again, then she breathed a sigh of relief. She reached out and held Jun Xuelan's little hand in her palm and gently rubbed it: "No trouble, it should be. Today is a good day for Xuelan, I'll be happy for her!"
Jun Xuelan's eyes were filled with water: "Sister... Thank you, I always feel that I owe you my engagement with Lord Mu."
Jun Jiuning pointed her eyebrows with her index finger angrily and scolded her: "What are you saying? I have no intention of him. Now that he wants to be your fiancé, I don't want to have anything to do with him, so as not to be honest and make you feel wronged. Today is your good day, don't cry."
Jun Xuelan smiled and nodded, raised her fair little face and walked out of the small hall behind King Ning.
Jun Qingli also stood up, looked at Jun Jiuning's smile with relief on his face, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, for fear that she would force herself to smile, and she pretended to be nothing, saying, "Sister, let's go to the front to watch the ceremony."
Jun Jiuning nodded and stood up in the chair: "I just happened to be hungry too..."
How to relieve worries is the only way to eat a mat.
