Chapter 800: No Grand Ceremony Or Romantic Dinner, Only A Nervous Man
Xiao Cui thought for a moment before replying to Bai Hanyun’s question, "Answering Fairy Bai. Today, the imperial palace was completed. The commoners all go there to have a look from afar."
Hearing this, Bai Hanyun clicked her tongue and commented, "Such a massive project can be done in just a few months. Those workers really work hard in this cold weather."
Xiao Cui smiled at her words and continued, "This servant also heard that the Young Master has decided to hold the coronation ceremony in three days."
When Bai Hanyun heard this, her eyes lit up. "Really? He will really become an Emperor in three days?"
Catching her doubt from her slightly raised voice, Xiao Cui nodded. "Yes. This servant also heard that there will be another ceremony, but it is still being kept secret."
Feeling curious, Bai Hanyun muttered, "Secret ceremony? Interesting... I should ask Xiyan later."
Just as she said this, she heard familiar footsteps approaching. Looking toward the entrance, Bai Hanyun saw Feng Xiyan walking toward her.
Putting her teacup down on the small table beside her, she stood up and walked over to him. With a smile on her face, she asked, "Xiyan, why are you back so early today?"
Feng Xiyan took off his black cloak and draped it over Bai Hanyun’s shoulders. Frowning slightly, he said, "It’s cold outside. You should not stay out for too long. What if you catch a cold?"
Bai Hanyun chuckled at his words. "I know, I know."
Holding her cold hands, Feng Xiyan led her inside and said, "Yun’er, I have something important to tell you."
When Xiao Cui heard this, she tactfully closed the door for them and went to continue roasting her corn.
Sitting around the round table, Bai Hanyun looked at Feng Xiyan’s nervous expression and asked, "What’s wrong? Did something happen today?"
Feng Xiyan shook his head, then fell silent. Looking at Bai Hanyun’s worried face, he took a deep breath before suddenly kneeling in front of her.
Startled by what he was doing, Bai Hanyun hurriedly reached toward him, trying to pull him up. However, Feng Xiyan was as steady as a mountain. No matter how she pulled him up, he didn’t bulge at all.
Frustrated by what he was doing, Bai Hanyun urged, "Get up first. If there is something you want to tell me, you can tell me slowly. Why would you suddenly kneel?"
Feng Xiyan shook his head, then stared into her eyes. Taking out the ring he had prepared months ago, he held it up and said, "Yun’er, please marry me."
When Bai Hanyun heard this, she froze.
Noticing that Feng Xiyan’s hands were trembling, she remained silent for a moment before smiling softly.
There was no grand ceremony or romantic dinner. Only a nervous man, who looked at her with pleading and expectation.
After a long moment of silence, Bai Hanyun reached out toward Feng Xiyan and smiling said, "Alright. I will marry you."
Feng Xiyan’s eyes widened in disbelief at her answer, and for a moment, he forgot how to react.
Seeing him simply staring at her, Bai Hanyun chuckled and asked, "What? Do you regret it now?"
Coming back to his senses, Feng Xiyan hurriedly took the jade ring he had carved himself and slipped it onto Bai Hanyun’s finger.
Lowering his head, he kissed her ring finger and solemnly promised, "Yun’er, I will love only you and have only you as my wife in this life. No matter what will happen in the future, I will protect you with my life."
At this moment, Bai Hanyun’s eyes reddened at the sight of Feng Xiyan’s solemn promise. Gently pinching Feng Xiyan’s chin, she lifted his face.
Staring into his deep eyes, Bai Hanyun solemnly said, "No matter what will happen in the future, I will protect you with my life. Xiyan, I love you."
Lowering her head, Bai Hanyun kissed Feng Xiyan’s lips gently.
At this second, Feng Xiyan’s brain suddenly crashed. A few seconds later, he came back to his senses, grabbed Bai Hanyun’s nape, and deepened their kiss.
Amid their passionate kiss, he whispered softly, "Yun’er, I love you."
Outside, Xiao Cui looked at the closed door, then giggled happily. "He he he. I wonder when I will be able to hold the little master."
While the snow slowly covered the world in a white blanket, news of Feng Xiyan’s coronation and his wedding to Bai Hanyun spread across the entire Central Continent.
Upon receiving the news, all the vassal princes rushed to Xiqiang City, bringing generous gifts with them.
Three days later, Xiqiang City was decorated in red.
The contrast between the white blanket of snow and the grand red decorations was so beautiful that even the celestials, who were sitting high in the Celestial Realm, could not help but look down at the mortal world.
Sitting before the bronze mirror, Bai Hanyun yawned for the N-th time.
Surrounding her, the maidservants skillfully helped her with her makeup and hair. At the side, Xiao Cui was busy directing the other maidservants.
"Be careful with your movements! Move slower! Don’t break the wedding cups!" Xiao Cui exclaimed in horror when she saw one maidservant bump into another and almost drop the wedding cups.
Looking at Xiao Cui’s reflection in the bronze mirror, Bai Hanyun sighed helplessly and said, "Xiao Cui, calm down. You look more nervous than I, the bride."
Turning to look at her, Xiao Cui pouted and replied, "Fairy Bai, how can you not be nervous? Today is your big day!"
Bai Hanyun chuckled and replied, "There is no need to be nervous. It’s just a simple ceremony. Besides, I need to conserve my energy. Otherwise, I will be too tired to finish the entire ceremony later."
Hearing this, Xiao Cui was speechless. "...."
After a brief moment of silence, she sighed and calmed herself down. Looking at two maidservants, she ordered, "You two, go and bring the phoenix crown here."
The two maidservants curtsied to Xiao Cui and replied, "Yes, Elder Sister Xiao Cui."
While Xiao Cui and the maidservants were busy helping Bai Hanyun put on her makeup and wedding dress, Feng Xiyan was already waiting outside the Hall of the Great Heaven.
