The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 48 Marriage Decree

That day, the Marquis's residence was bustling as usual. Yunxi sat in her room, a medical book in her hands, but her eyes had long since wandered elsewhere.

"Miss, Miss." Xiao Cui rushed in anxiously. The little girl was out of breath and beads of sweat were hanging on her forehead. "Someone is coming from the palace."

Yunxi was startled and quickly threw the book on the table. She stood up and said, "Come on, follow me and take a look."

As he spoke, his steps became faster.

The two of them trotted to the front hall, where they saw a eunuch standing in the hall, holding the imperial edict in both hands. Everyone in the mansion knelt on the ground in an orderly manner, ready to receive the edict.

The eunuch cleared his throat and shouted at the top of his voice, "By the will of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: There is a concubine's daughter, Yunxi, in the Marquis's mansion. She is gentle, virtuous, and extremely intelligent.

Your Highness has made great military achievements and is a fearless hero. Recognizing their mutual affection, I grant them a marriage and choose an auspicious date for the ceremony.

Admire this! "

As soon as the father-in-law finished speaking, Yunxi's face instantly broke into a bright smile, her eyes were as bright as stars, and her hands unconsciously twisted the corners of her clothes.

As for the prince, he was also grinning, revealing a row of big white teeth, and he raised his hand to scratch the back of his head.

Yunxi looked up at the prince, and it happened that the prince was also looking at her. Their eyes met, and Yunxi blushed suddenly and quickly lowered her head.

The prince said openly, "Miss Yunxi, I will protect you for the rest of my life."

Yunxi nodded gently and whispered, "It's all up to the prince."

The people around them looked at the couple and started to rejoice. The Marquis's master smiled broadly and said, "This is truly a great joy!"

The wife also echoed: "Yes, yes, it's really the good deeds of our ancestors."

"Thank you, Lord!" everyone shouted in unison.

The Marquis's wife forced a smile on her face and said, "Thank you for your hard work, eunuch. Please take a seat and have some tea."

The eunuch waved his hand and said, "I have to go back to the palace to report, so I won't bother you anymore." After that, he turned and left.

Yunxi looked up at the prince, her eyes filled with joy and shyness. The prince also looked at her affectionately, with a smile on his face.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, and Miss Yunxi." Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion congratulated them.

The legitimate daughter, Lin Xinyao, stood aside, biting her lip. Her heart was filled with jealousy, but she pretended to be happy on the surface. "My sister is so lucky to have the emperor grant her a marriage."

She glanced at Yunxi with her eyes, twisted the handkerchief unconsciously with her hands, and the smile on the corner of her mouth seemed a little forced.

Yunxi smiled slightly, "Thank you, sister." Yunxi's face was filled with happiness, and her eyes were bright and clear, just like the lake in spring.

The prince said in a loud voice: "It is a great honor for me to marry Yunxi." The prince was tall and straight, and his gorgeous clothes made him look even more heroic. At this moment, his eyes were firmly fixed on Yunxi, as if Yunxi was the only one in the world.

The lady of the Marquis' Mansion said, "This is a great event for the Marquis' Mansion, and we have to handle it well." As the lady spoke, her eyes looked back and forth between Yunxi and the prince, thinking in her mind how much benefit this marriage could bring to the Marquis' Mansion.

After everyone left, Yunxi and the prince came to the garden.

"Yunxi, we have finally waited for this day." The prince held Yunxi's hand. His palm was broad and warm, tightly wrapping around Yunxi's slender fingers.

Yunxi blushed and said, "Your Highness, I will serve you well in the future." She lowered her head, not daring to look directly into the prince's eyes. She looked like a shy flower.

The prince gently scratched Yunxi's nose and said, "What do you mean by serving? There's no need for this between you and me."

The prince's eyes were full of doting, and the look he gave Yunxi was so gentle that it seemed like water could drip out of it.

"Your Highness, I am truly delighted." Yunxi raised her head, her eyes full of longing for the future.

"Yunxi, I will protect you for the rest of your life." The prince said solemnly, his eyes firm and powerful.

"I believe in you, Your Highness." Yunxi raised her face slightly, with the corners of her mouth raised. That smile was as warm as the spring sun.

The prince looked at Yunxi and couldn't help but reach out to tidy up her hair. "Yunxi, you look like this, which really makes my heart flutter."

Yunxi's face turned even redder. "Your Highness always teases me."

"What I said is all true." The prince said with a smile.

Yunxi gently broke free from the prince's hand, turned around and ran towards the flowers, "Prince, come and chase me."

The prince chased after him with a smile, "I'll see if I can catch you."

The two were laughing and playing among the flowers, and Yunxi's skirt fluttered in the wind like a dancing butterfly.

The prince hugged Yunxi and said, "Let's see where you can run."

Yunxi leaned in the prince's arms and panted, "Prince, I can't run anymore."

The prince looked down at Yunxi, his eyes full of love, "Then let's take a break."

At this time, a butterfly flew over and Yunxi reached out to catch it. The prince looked at her and couldn't help laughing.

"Your Highness, please don't laugh. I just think this butterfly is pretty." Yunxi said coquettishly, her lips slightly pouted, her beautiful eyes showing stubbornness, and she reached out to catch the butterfly.

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you." The prince said lovingly, with the corners of his mouth raised, his eyes full of indulgence towards Yunxi.

He stood tall beside Yunxi, and his gorgeous clothes made him look even more upright.

The two strolled through the garden, the sunlight shone on them, casting a shadow of happiness. The prince walked steadily, and Yunxi followed beside him like a little bird.

Back in her room, Yunxi sat in front of the mirror, her thoughts drifting away. Her eyebrows curved, her lips curled in a smile, and she looked so charming.

"Miss, you look so happy that you are distracted." Xiao Cui joked, with her hands on her hips and a playful smile on her face.

Yunxi came back to her senses and said, "You're the only one who keeps talking nonsense." As she said that, she patted Xiaocui lightly.

"Miss, you will be a princess from now on. This is completely different from being in the Marquis' Mansion." Xiao Cui said, blinking her eyes.

Yunxi nodded slightly, "I know, but no matter what, I will do my best." Her eyes were firm and her hands were unconsciously twisting the corners of her clothes.

Meanwhile, the prince was in his study, discussing wedding arrangements with his advisors. His brows knitted slightly, his expression serious.

"Your Highness, this wedding must be a grand one," said the counselor, gesturing with an excited look on his face.

The prince nodded, "Of course, Yunxi cannot be wronged."

The servants of the Marquis' Mansion were also busy preparing various items needed for the wedding. Some were cutting fabrics, while others were moving tables and chairs, all of them were busy and sweating.

Yunxi walked out of the room and saw this busy scene, her heart full of anticipation. She walked lightly in the yard, looking around curiously.

"Ms. Yunxi, this is the material for your wedding dress. Do you like it?" the tailor asked, holding the material with a smile on his face.

Yunxi stepped forward and took a closer look, "Very good, thank you, Master." As the days passed, the news of the granted marriage spread throughout the capital.

On this day, Yunxi and the prince went out on the street together, and the people cast their blessings on them.

"Look, that's the prince and the future princess." A vegetable seller shouted at the top of her voice.

"They are a match made in heaven." A man who looked like a scholar said, shaking his head.

When Yunxi heard these compliments, her heart was filled with sweetness, her face flushed, and she lowered her head slightly.

The prince said, "Yunxi, I will definitely protect you from now on." He stretched out his big hands and embraced Yunxi in his arms.

Yunxi leaned in the prince's arms and said, "I believe in you, prince."
