Wedding Night

"Yes, Concubine Bai is the prime minister third daughter, she is the most favoured by the emperor and His Highness. She is beautiful but Your Highness should not worry she can't even compare to you, Jing Xin said

"Of course,she can't even be as beautiful as me, Ye Xing said narcissistically, "Continue"

"Concubine Sang is the Only daughter of Official Sang, who is the most favourite official of the emperor, she was sick since she was a child, so she is not very healthy and does not come out often.

"Concubine Rui is the first daughter of Mr Rui who owns the biggest cloth store in Ji state, she is a very sly woman she loves to cry a lot whenever she sees his Highness. And lastly, the man Your Highness met at the door is General Wen Zuo,He is His Highness subordinate, Jing Xin explained.

"That is all? Ye Xing quizzed.

"Yes but after the wedding tonight the concubine will come to visit your Highness at Feiyu Garden everyday.

"You mean the wedding is taking place tonight? Ye Xing catechized curiously.

"Yes, though his Highness does not plan a grand wedding but I still think His Highness cares for you, Jing Xin proclaimed.

"Cares for me? Ye Xing inquired as she widened her eyes.

"I heard his Highness choose you himself during the selection. He even quarrel with the emperor because of you and doesn't want you to be a concubine even though His majesty does not want to attend but His Highness still want the wedding to hold, Jing Xin babbled happily.

"Quarrel with the emperor because of me? Ye Xing asked surprisingly "Why will he do that, do you think he have another motive for doing that?

"I don't think so, It seems His Highness truly likes you. Jing Xin asserted.

"Likes Me?, Why will he like me, does he know me before? Ye Xing questioned.

"Of course His Highness will like you, you are beautiful and he is handsome, you both are meant for each other.

"Although I am beautiful even if he likes me I can't like him, and stop saying nonsense we are not meant for each other, Ye Xing remarked.

The next thing for me is to find out his motive for choosing me afterall I should have failed the test, Ye Xing thought.

"Jing Xin you can leave now. I will call you when I need you okay, Ye Xing said smiling.

"Okay Your Highness, about the wedding dress I will bring it over later, Jing Xin beamed and left.

"Your Highness, Lord Wen has already done everything you ask, Li Fu whispered.

"What about her? Yan Yue grilled.

"You mean Her Highness? Li Fu queried confusingly.

"Hmm, Yan Yue hummed.

"Her Highness is fine, Your Highness what about the wedding tonight do you want to go? Li Fu quizzed.

"If I don't go what do you think my brother will think? Yan Yue queried.

"Yes it is true, Li Fu chimed in.

"Your Highness, the Fourth Prince is having his wedding today do you want to go check it out, Yu Hai commented

"Are they planning a big event? Yan Jun quizzed.

"Not actually, the servant are just planning a small feast but Fourth Prince seems not to be present, Yu Hai explained.

"He is not present? It seems like I have to take a look at his little wife, Yan Jun suggested and left for Yan Yue mansion.

As they door opened Ye Xing stepped out of the room with Jing Xin, she was wearing a red cheongsam with her black hair packed into a bridal style, she has a red lipstick on her pouting lips, her pencil thin eyebrow ease gently on her, her eyelashes were velvety which makes her looks like an angel that everyone wish to marry.

"Wow, Her Highness is so beautiful, the servant all complimented.

" His Highness is lucky to meet such a beautiful damsel, Ruo Ruo, a maid said.

"Of course am so beautiful that your Highness is going to be in a daze when he sees me, Ye Xing praise herself as she sat down before the table of food set by the maid.

"Yes Your Highness is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, Jing Xin commented.

"It okay, let eat, Ye Xing said.

"Actually Your Highness, His Highness is not back to the mansion yet, do you want to wait for him? Jing Xin inquired.

"Of course who won't be anxious on her wedding day, Don't you see that her Highness is not that happy that is because she hasn't seen His Highness, Ruo Ruo chimed in before Ye Xing could speak.

"Why should I wait for him, is this not his mansion, he can come back anytime he want, Ye Xing said before continuing.

"Who said I am not happy, I am just sad because I wasn't expecting this kind of meal, Ye Xing asserted shocking the maid.

"Your Highness, do you mean you don't like the meal? Jing Xin quizzed worriedly

"Of course, there is not enough meat, why is there little meat but more vegetables, is his Highness a vegetarian, Ye Xing asked in confusion.

"Not at all, but since His Highness was already injured from the last war, His majesty has been asking us to prepare more vegetables suitable for his health and the palace provide us with just little meat, Jing Xin explained.

"Oh, but since His Highness is not here shouldn't you prepare a better meal for a better person, Ye Xing asked which made the maid even more confused.

"Okay, Ruo Ruo, bring more dishes and clear all the vegetable dishes for Her Highness, Jing Xin commanded while Ruo Ruo and others cleared the tables.

"Jing Xin, what next can we do? Everything is so boring, I miss my family, Ye Xing said sadly.

"Don't worry,Your Highness you will soon get use to it.

"Hmm. She sighs, oh is His Highness really that sick?

"Yes, he was injured seriously in the last war and has to retire.

"He is so pitiful, that means he will die soon..

"Don't say such a word your Highness"

"Ohh" Ye xing said looking sadly but happy deep down.

"Your Highness don't... Jing Xin wanted to comment on Ye Xing word before she noticed Yan Jun coming beside them.

"What is it? Ye Xing asked when she noticed the sudden change of expression on Jing Xin's face.

"It is the First prince, Jing Xin whispered timidly.
