Lanterns and streamers decorated the way. The double happiness symbols and red ribbon flower balls could be seen everywhere. The atmosphere was full of happiness and even the maidservants’ faces were flushed with joy as if they were the ones getting married.
Feng Tianlan wandered around with them for a long time before arriving at the quarters where the bride was dressing up. It was full of people. She couldn’t help but frown as she listened to the laughter and chattering coming from the room.
“Tianlan, your wish came true. You are finally marrying the Demon King.” That was Luo Yunzhu’s cheery and happy voice.
“What do you mean by my wish came true? Mobai was getting anxious. If not, I would still want to wait for another two years.” It was her voice, shy but full of expectations.
“Previously, you had to be sneaky about it. But after the wedding, you can openly kiss, hug and be lovey-dovey in front of us. For those who are single, we’ll be in for it.” That was Mei’er’s soft and sweet voice.
Listening to these conversations, Feng Tianlan was confused. She frowned and took a step into the room.
The first thing she saw was the room in festive red color. There were double happiness symbols on the cabinets and windows. A Phoenix Coronet and Robes of Rank were neatly placed on a clothing stand.
Feng Tianlan looked at the full-length bronze mirror and saw a woman who looked like her dressed in bright red inner sleepwear. She was surrounded by familiar faces. There was Luo Yunzhu, Mei’er, and Xiao Xiao. Even Xi Lin, who was already married, was there too.
No one noticed that she had entered the room. Feng Tianlan frowned, and she called out to them individually, “YunZhu, Mei’er, Xiao Xiao, Sister Lin?”
Luo YunZhu was helping to adjust and tidy the woman’s outfit. She smiled teasingly, “This piece of inner sleepwear is so soft and light. It can be taken off quickly with just a gentle tug. Is this specially prepared for the wedding night?”
The woman blushed. Her face flushed red from embarrassment. “Mobai made this himself.”
“Haha. The Demon King looks as cold as an iceberg. I did not expect him to know embroidery and even make your wedding gown himself. Don’t tell me the Demon King made your undergarments too?” Luo YunZhu teased.
The woman blushed and nodded gently.
Xi Lin and Mei’er took the wedding gown from the clothing stand and helped her put it on. “The undergarments are nothing. This wedding gown was made by the Demon King as well. Take a look at these. The Demon King personally sewed these gardenias on stitch by stitch without asking for any help. I am so envious of you.”
Luo Yunzhu and the rest continued teasing the woman. The atmosphere was so lively, filled with laughter and chattering.
Feng Tianlan’s gaze fell on the bright red wedding gown. It had gardenias embroidered on it. As it was for the wedding, red and gold threads were used for the embroidery of the flowers. It was done with a double-threaded embroidery method which made it looked very harmonious, beautiful, and glorious.
Something was not right. Because of the characters of their names, Mobai liked gardenias. Gardenias were also embroidered on the wedding gown, so why did she only see peonies on her way here?
Up till now, she had only seen the side profile of ‘herself’ and not her whole face. So was it really the wedding of her and Mobai?
Feng Tianlan didn’t know why, but she suddenly thought about the scene she saw in the crystal ball when she was in Jialan Hall. It was the scene of Mobai’s wedding, but his bride wasn’t her. It was someone who looked just like her.
Thinking about that, Feng Tianlan walked over to ‘her’ and was shocked when she saw her face.
