Chapter 152 Princess Yincuitang Sends Ruyi

Then, he spoke openly to his cousin-in-law Xiang.

"Sister-in-law, please let me go. I am still in my prime and don't want to spend my life raising children in the backyard. What I yearn for is the front, killing enemies, and training horses. Compared with getting married, those are what I want most. If my future husband wants me to shrink in the backyard and be a dove, then I will definitely not agree to marry him! If he really wants to be my husband, he must be like me, a free eagle soaring in the sky."

These words made Xiang particularly moved.

She did not have as big ideas and goals as Pei Ziyao. When she heard about such a goal, she understood that this cousin Ayao had a mind that was different from those of the girls from noble families. So when she looked at her, she thought of her infant daughter at home, so she said jokingly.

"When Youyi grows up, I will let her go to Hanzhou to find you and learn from you, her cousin. I also want her to become an eagle that soars freely between heaven and earth, instead of being a boring woman trapped in the backyard all day, calculating and relying on others."

"Okay, as long as my sister-in-law is willing, I will definitely take care of Youyi as if she were my own daughter. Don't worry, I will definitely let the Wang family produce a powerful female general."

Xiang had never thought that her daughter would be able to have such a possibility, and she couldn't help laughing when she heard it.

But looking at Pei Ziyao, it was as if I saw what my daughter would look like in the future, and I felt a lot more longing in my heart.

The happiness of the two also attracted some sidelong glances from other ladies standing beside them, but those ladies had no idea what they were talking about and thought they were just happy about today's happy event.

Not long after the words were spoken, the ceremony was about to begin.

Nanny Wufu stood beside Jiang Shiyuan and helped her kneel in front of her parents.

Mrs. Pei also wore festive clothes today, and there was an empty seat next to her.

Marshal Pei was stationed in Hanzhou and could not leave, so among the two of them, only Mrs. Pei could kneel. Most people also understood why Marshal Pei could not leave, so no one dared to say anything.

"One bows to heaven and earth, the other bows to the high hall, and the husband and wife bow to each other."

The voice of Aunt Wufu echoed throughout the front hall, and the people watching the ceremony were all laughing, clapping, and cheering. The scene was extremely lively.

Then a gong sounded, and the two newlyweds were sent into the main room of Yincuitang.

This place was originally built by Princess Qinghuan specifically for Jiang Shiyuan. After Pei Zisu took over, he modified the garden and the paths, turning it into the main courtyard. It has three spans from front to back and is so large that it is hard to get around.

The people who came to congratulate followed them into Yincuitang. All the furnishings in the main room were arranged according to Jiang Shiyuan's boudoir in her mother's home. Even the style and color of the furniture were basically the same. The only difference was that the materials used were more exquisite and luxurious.

Therefore, when those people entered the room and saw this, they felt something was wrong.

How could such a rough man like General Pei decorate such a beautiful boudoir? I thought someone helped him, but the maid Luluo said playfully.

"The general has nothing to say about the young lady. The furnishings here are exactly the same as those at home."

After hearing this, those people envied Jiang Shiyuan even more! Then, under the guidance of the Wufu Mammy, the two drank the wedding wine, tied the couple's hair, spread the Wanfu tent, and lifted the red veil. After all the ceremonies were completed, Pei Zisu was "dragged" away. How could he not become the target of public criticism with such a drinking capacity!
"Brother, drink as much as you want. I want to see how many of these people you can knock down."

Pei Zimiao shouted loudly, and it was obvious that he had accumulated a lot of "hatred". He had been in Xijing City for the past few months, so naturally he had countless enemies. Just because he couldn't drink, it didn't mean that his elder brother couldn't drink. So even though the wound on his back still hurt a little while he was twisting his body, he was not going to leave until he was drunk today!
The fine wine was a gift from the palace, so it was not very intoxicating, but its mellow aroma was very intoxicating.

Today, Princess Qinghuan and her husband Cheng Dengping were also present, but he knew that they were not the protagonists today, so he did not make it too public.

So after watching the guests having a great time, he went to Yincuitang on purpose to meet Jiang Shiyuan, who was sitting at the table eating at that moment.

"You have married a perfect husband. I am afraid you will be hungry. This is the first time I have seen a bride eat a table of food. Ah Nian, I am so envious!"

Jiang Shiyuan was a little surprised by Princess Qinghuan's arrival, and he stood up to greet her.

"Why are you here, Princess? Do you want to have dinner with me? How about I ask them to bring a few more dishes?"

Princess Qinghuan shook her head, saying that she was not there to eat at the banquet, so she frankly asked someone to send two jade ruyi over and placed them in front of the table.

Seeing this, Jiang Shiyuan said helplessly.

"The princess has given me so many gifts. I cannot accept these two jade ruyi anymore. It would be against the rules if I accept more."

"I have never said that I can take back the gifts I gave away. Just relax and accept them! Keeping them will be like a talisman for you. Besides, these gifts are not given by me, but awarded by my father. Do you understand?"

Jiang Shiyuan was not stupid, so he naturally understood what the princess meant.

If this thing was awarded by the emperor, then it would have extraordinary meaning. In Dasui, the Jade Ruyi was a reward only for ladies who were granted imperial edicts. Princesses could also receive it, but the specifications were different. Jiang Shiyuan looked carefully at the two Jade Ruyi in front of him, and then he found that they were indeed those of ladies who were granted imperial edicts. They were even exactly the same as the pair enshrined in his grandmother's room, so he showed some surprise in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, are you going to award this subject a title?"

Princess Qinghuan smiled and then nodded. Nanny Shen beside her took out the imperial edict and spoke to Jiang Shiyuan.

"Please Madam Pei accept the order."

"Yes, I will accept your order."

Jiang Shiyuan called herself a servant girl and changed her name to a servant's wife, so when she knelt down, the etiquette she performed was unique to the Pei family. Seeing this, Princess Qinghuan's eyes flashed with some approval. This Jiang Shiyuan was indeed a rare and intelligent woman.

Princess Qinghuan liked it more and more as she looked at it, and then she heard Nanny Shen read out the imperial decree of enthronement.

Such a thing should have been announced in front of everyone, but Princess Qinghuan came to Jiang Shiyuan alone and gave it to her.

Jiang Shiyuan roughly understood what Princess Qinghuan meant, so he respectfully accepted the imperial edict, and then told Liuhua to keep it well and not show it in front of others.
