Twin Flowers - C100
“Young woman, if you want to serve tea to the old master and his wife today, just wear some festive clothes!” She knew her family’s girl. Normally, she would wear plain clothes, but today was different. If she wore plain clothes and let others know, it would be a different story.
She wore a long, rose-red dress with a matching robe over it. On her chest, large peonies were embroidered with gold and white silk.
The collar and skirt were embroidered with small, fragmented flowers. The wide sleeves almost covered her slender arm and her snow-white wrist.
The clothes were all made of brocade and Shu. They were soft and comfortable to wear, and there was a white belt hanging from the waist.
Her hair was tied up in a bun, held in place by a wreath of pearl amulets, and hung in long tassels over her shoulders.
After entering the palace for a while, Yan Luo only used up a layer of extremely light and exquisite makeup. There was a red Precious Stone Pearl stuck on its forehead.
“You’re done?” Seeing Yan Luo help her out, Liu Yi Chen immediately rushed up to her and carefully supported her. Looking at her now, Liu Yi Chen was a little upset that he didn’t support her last night.
“En, I still need to give you a cup of tea. Hurry up and go!” Li Die lightly coughed and said. However, she had overestimated the thickness of Liu Yi Chen’s face. Now, he was looking at her with a smile, as if he didn’t feel awkward at all.
By the time the two of them reached the main hall, it was obvious that the Crown Prince and Madam Zhang had already arrived. However, although there was some unhappiness on their faces, it was because of the Crown Prince’s presence. In the end, it did not flare up.
“The two of you have arrived quite early.” Mrs. Zhang said shamelessly. Li Die respected her as Liu Yi Chen’s biological mother, and now she was her mother-in-law. She didn’t want to lower herself to Liu Yi Chen’s level.
However, after Zhang Shi’s gaze swept over her, she continued to speak, “Even though she is young and vigorous, she still has to be restrained.”
Hearing her words, Li Die felt that her patience was pretty good. Her face was still burning, and she lowered her head even more. However, she still couldn’t help but look at Liu Yi Chen with a grumbling expression.
Liu Yi Chen was also frightened by his mother’s words. How could a newlywed be able to listen to his mother talk about these things in the morning? Especially when he saw his own wife’s resentful and angry look, he felt even more wronged. Unconsciously looking at his father, he hoped that he could ask for help.
When the Crown Prince saw Liu Yi Chen look at him pleadingly, he stopped looking at Li Die and looked at her. When he thought of what she had said just now, his old face turned red and he cleared his throat, “Hurry up and make the tea! I will have to go to the palace later to express my gratitude and hope that I did not make a mistake. ”
Although this arranged marriage was unfathomable, the crown prince was always in front of the emperor, so he naturally knew that all of this was for the sake of Li Die. However, he didn’t really understand, Li Die had been raised in her uncle’s house and was only brought back at the twelfth year of her life.
During this period of time, she was captured by the Grand General of the Hussars. Li Xiangnan had also specifically gone to seek help from the Yan Emperor, but he had rejected her request directly.
Only when he saw her, everything had changed. Liu Yi Chen originally wanted to punish this matter, but now, not only did he not do so, he even obeyed their wishes and directly gave the decree to give him his marriage.
“Father, please have some tea.” Li Die took the teacup from Yan Luo and knelt on the mat. She raised the teacup with both hands above her head as she spoke.
A clear voice broke his thoughts. Seeing her raise the teacup, he pursed his lips and did not make things difficult for her. He directly took the teacup and sipped. He handed the prepared red packet to her and said, “Good child.”
Li Die took the red packet and stood up with a smile. She walked to Zhang’s side and knelt down respectfully. “Mother, please have some tea.”
Lady Zhang looked at the crown prince. In the end, he didn’t dare to make things too obvious for her. She reluctantly took the cup of tea and took out her red packet. “Alright.” Li Die, on the other hand, still had a smile on her face that was neither hard nor slow. Even though Zhang Shi purposely made things difficult for her, the smile on her face didn’t change at all. However, in Liu Yi Chen’s eyes, she became even more pampered.
After having their breakfast, Liu Yi and Wu Chen directly entered the carriage and entered the palace. Because their marriage had been ordered by the Emperor, on the first day of marriage they had to enter the palace to express their gratitude.
“General, Madam, this way please.” Eunuch Cao looked at the two of them bowing and groveling as they led the way with a smile on his face.
Along the way, Li Die did her best to introduce the scenery around her, but she was completely distracted. Her heart had long since disappeared, and Liu Yi Chen was completely focused on her lover. Naturally, she wasn’t in the mood to listen to his words.
Eunuch Cao had only wanted to curry favor with them, but seeing that the two men were obviously not listening to him, he felt wronged. He stopped talking and focused on leading the way.
When they arrived at the imperial study, the two of them stopped and waited for a summons. The Yan Emperor did not make things difficult for the two of them.
“This humble subject pays his respect to the Emperor.”
“Your servant greets the Emperor.” The two voices sounded out at the same time. The Yan Emperor’s gaze was obviously fixed on Li Die, and Liu Yi Chen was just carrying her around.
“Get up.” Emperor Yan was obviously in a good mood as he looked at the two of them. He then turned to his father-in-law and commanded, “Why aren’t you sitting down yet?”
“Thank you, your majesty.” After Li Die and Liu Yi Chen looked at each other, the corners of their mouths curled into a smile as they expressed their gratitude. After standing up, they did not politely sit down.
When the Yan Emperor saw that the two of them were obviously in a good mood, his gaze would always fall on Li Die, but this time, his gaze was not as dissatisfied as before. Instead, it gave him the feeling that his father-in-law was picking out a son-in-law, which made him break out in a cold sweat.
