When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

The twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month is a good day for getting married.

Xu Xinyue was woken up by Xiao Shu and Xiao Chan early in the morning.

It was rare that Ana Luo did not hang out at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion today. She kept circling around Xu Xinyue and walking around her.

Like a little follower, doing her bidding.

Madam Han walked in with a kind smile. Looking at Xu Xinyue's calm and composed appearance, she nodded continuously and could not help but admire:

"I was worried that you didn't sleep well. You looked very energetic this morning."

"Many brides in the past were very nervous and panicked the day before their wedding. Some even had shaking hands and feet. You are worthy of being the princess. You are so calm."

Madam Han talked a lot and frequently, with one sweet word after another, and it was difficult for Xu Xinyue to catch up with her in a short time. So she simply kept silent and just smiled faintly in response.

Madam Han glanced and saw that the window was wide open.

"Alas, why is the window open? I hope the princess has not caught a cold."

"Um... no, I opened it this morning... because I felt too stuffy."

Xu Xinyue responded vaguely.

"You're still a little nervous after all, right? It's okay, it will be fine after today. Let's take it one step at a time."

This begins today’s process.

Bathing, changing clothes, scrunching face, combing hair, and putting on makeup.

After Xiao Shu and Xiao Chan helped Xu Xinyue change into her wedding dress, they led her to sit in front of the dressing mirror.

Ana Luo brought her a crown, hairpins and other items, and happily watched her put on makeup with her chin in her hand.

Most women would be shy about getting married, but Ana Luo didn't care. She always said what she wanted to say. She said frankly, "Yueyue looks really beautiful today. I wonder when I can wear this wedding dress."

Xu Xinyue couldn't help teasing her: "Then you have to speed up."

"Humph, he's so stubborn. It's faster for me to put it on for myself than to put it on for him to see."

Xu Xinyue had a hard time holding back her laughter. If she hadn't known that Han Niangzi was combing her hair and couldn't move, she would have hugged Ana Luo's head, rubbed her face into a round shape, and praised her, "Ana Luo, how can you be so cute?"

Madam Han applied lily hair oil on her head and combed it into a gentle and dignified bun.

After putting on makeup, Xu Xinyue looked at the girl in the mirror and almost didn't recognize herself.

She seldom wore such bright makeup before.

Her eyebrows are long and graceful, and her lips are bright red.

Bright eyes are good at gazing, looking forward to brilliance.

It is paired with a crown of flowers that resembles green waves, and rice-grain pearl tassels on both sides hang down to the temples.

The rich red makeup and cool flower crown give off a unique feeling of coolness and purity.

Madam Han could not help but admire: "I have been combing hair for so many years, and I have seen at least a hundred crowns, but it is rare to see one as exquisite, special and beautiful as yours. It is a delight to look at."

"This face looks like it was carved out of jade."

"Ms. Han, you are overpraising me."

"It's true, whether it's praise or not."

Xiao Shu, who was standing by, looked at Xu Xinyue in the mirror and giggled. Xiao Chan nudged her with her elbow and said, "Why are you giggling? Aren't you the talkative one on weekdays? Why are you silent today?"

Xiao Shu wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said, "I'm stupid. When we enter the bridal chamber and pick up the veil, the prince may not be much better than me."

Everyone burst into laughter, even Xu Xinyue couldn't hold back and said, "Okay, Xiaoshu, you better stop talking, or my makeup will be in vain."

Xiao Shu scratched his chin, turned around and held a plate of thumb-sized delicate soft snacks: "This is sweet and filling, not greasy. Today's bride's etiquette is complicated, and the bride will be picked up in the evening. I'm afraid there will be few opportunities to eat before the ceremony. Eating this will definitely keep you hungry. I made a lot today."

"There is also lily porridge, which has a good meaning. Why not try it too?"

Xu Xinyue picked up the bowl and began to drink from it in small sips. Just as she finished, she heard footsteps outside the door. Xu Xinyue put down the bowl and wondered who it was. Qin Lingruo and Xia Xueyao smiled and pushed the door open. They happily called out, "Yueyue."

Xu Xianyue turned around, and before she could stand up to greet him, Qin Lingruo held her down and said, "Just sit here. You are the 'princess' today, and I am just a lively foil."

Xu Xinyue knew her good intentions, and did not refuse. She curved her lips slightly and agreed, "Okay."

The girls were chatting and laughing, looking very happy.

Suddenly a little maid came to report that the prince was coming to pick up the bride.

Xu Xinyue paused. Is it so fast?

He asked, "Where are you?"

"We have already reached East Street. I saw the Qingyang guards following behind the prince. Money bags were hung on their horses. They greeted the people on the street and said auspicious words. The more they said, the more money they scattered. I heard that they started at the gate of the prince's mansion."

"Hey, my brother is really generous. Most people give out copper coins, but he gives out silver directly."

The little girl covered her mouth and laughed, "Indeed, some people didn't know what the excitement was about, but when they got closer, they realized that they were getting silver for saying auspicious words, and the people nearby were all rushing to watch the ceremony."

While they were still laughing and joking, another little girl came to report: "The prince has entered the palace to pick up the bride."

Only then did Madam Han stop the girls' laughter and pulled up the red veil, covering Xu Xinyue's head neatly.

"Now is the critical moment. The prince will write a poem to urge you to get married. You must not be impatient and you must not leave the house easily."

"Just sit here and wait to be asked to leave!"

Xia Xueyao and Qin Lingruo leaned over the crack of the door and peeked out: "Oh, the second brother is here too. He may not be here to accompany the third brother, and I don't know who he is looking for."

After saying that, he tapped Xia Xueyao's shoulder. Xia Xueyao blushed, pretended not to hear, and continued to look outside.

Qin Lingruo continued to mutter: "And... Is the Duke of Zhenguo coming to watch the ceremony as well?"

Ana Luo's ears twitched, but she said nothing.

After hearing Qin Yuechuan recite three poems urging her to get ready, Xu Xinyue blushed slightly.

Madam Han gently pressed her shoulders and said with a smile, "We are just getting started. How can we get a bride so quickly? Let's wait a little longer."

Xu Xinyue nodded in compliance and sat down steadily.

The man outside the room shouted a few words, and when he saw that there was no movement in the boudoir, he began to recite the fourth poem.

However, starting from this poem, it seems that it is not as simple as a "makeup poem".

Xu Xinyue heard him say outside the house: "A good marriage is made in the past, and a good couple is made in heaven."

Qin Lingruo responded happily: "I know this. It is said that the two of you were destined to be together in your previous life and that God brought you together. Oh, my royal brother is quite capable. He seems to be so cold and icy on weekdays, but he actually has some skills."

Others don't know, but Xu Xinyue knows that he is reincarnated. The feeling of this poem is very different when he recites it.

Xu Xinyue, under the bright red veil, smiled lightly with her lips pursed, and her index fingers unconsciously hooked together. It was not that she was being reserved at the moment, but she really wanted to hear what Qin Yuechuan would say next.

The deep voice continued slowly:

"When I first saw a shadow in the deep forest, I thought it was an old friend."

Ana Luo was confused: "It seems like it's a... scene?"

Xu Xinyue was slightly stunned. This seemed to be the scene of their first encounter in the woods.

Her ankle was caught in a clamp and Qin Yuechuan helped her to untie it.

The conversation at that time seems like yesterday, and the words are still fresh in my mind:

"You haven't asked the girl's name yet?"

"Minister of War Xu Fu, Xu Xianyue."

But, old friend? What does that mean? Did he recognize her then?

But outside, Qin Yuechuan continued to recite: "I will meet you again in the palace, what is your wish?"

That day at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet at the rockery, he asked her: "Xu Xianyue, what do you want?"

"Why ask what I wish for? I just wish you well."

In the carriage, she said to him, "I just hope that Your Majesty will have a safe and smooth life."

The past came to mind, Xu Xinyue closed her eyes, letting the waves of memories invade her heart.

Her thoughts were divided into two. On one hand, she was listening to the soft and gentle words outside, and on the other hand, she was vividly recalling the past when she and he knew each other and loved each other.

"Only when you are in trouble can you know the truth, and the jade dice show the depth of your bond."

"The king won't allow it!"

"What's the point of you saying no? The dice is in my hand now, so I have the final say!"

"I wish to be with you, and not be alone in death or life."

"I am still very happy. No matter what happens, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will live on and live with Yueyue."

"We will be together through thick and thin, and grow old together."

"If Yueyue were with me, would she be afraid?"

"Qin Yuechuan, I will always be by your side in my own way."

"Don't dwell on the past, cherish the time you have in this life."

"Let it go, Qin Yuechuan. We have wasted our entire lives. Shouldn't we cherish the hard-earned time now?"

"Shall we just start over? Let's not talk about the past, but only look to the future."

Xu Xinyue's heart was surging, her eyelashes were trembling, and she was trying hard not to let the tears roll down.

There was no more noise outside, only Qin Yuechuan's words could be heard coming in through the window.

Ana Luo was confused at first, and leaned against the door frame listening to the noise. But as she listened, she seemed to understand, and she straightened her body and turned to look at Xu Xinyue on the couch.

Xu Xinyue was wearing a veil, leaning forward with her hands clasped together, as if she was about to get up.

Madam Han stood up to help her. Xu Xinyue waved her hand, took off the veil, handed it to her, and walked towards the door step by step.

But I heard the people outside continue: "I wish to be with you for the rest of my life, and this love will never change."

"Rebirth, eternal life without reincarnation, is it really worth it?"

"Yueyue, it's worth it."

After reciting this sentence, Xu Xinyue just happened to walk to the door.

She opened the door herself, her eyes slightly red, and looked at the tall figure in front of her with a smile.

The person in front of her was wearing the same bright red brocade robe as her, with a golden crown tied high on his head. The jade belt around his waist outlined his mature and tall figure. He was also staring at her.

Xu Xinyue didn't know how long he had been looking at the door.

It seemed as if he had been waiting for her before the door was opened.

Qin Yuechuan stood at the bottom of the three steps, looking up and raising his right hand towards her. His dark eyes were full of tenderness and affection, and he murmured the last sentence:

"I will follow you to the underworld..."

She extended her slender hand to him, and Xu Xinyue looked at him affectionately with moist eyes.

The next moment, a soft girl's voice responded, and she curved her lips and continued:

"We are so close yet so far away."
