Bab 17: Chapter 15, Taking The Bride
Jin cooled himself sitting by the window while thinking about his destined wife, he did dream about the girl he met 7 years ago, this past month it's been poking him, but this time a girl holding the fan is his destined wife
"Han Yunxi, where is my Fan!!!" he said and went over to his table
"My dad is gonna kill me!!!" he sigh, Jin rolled the scroll of the portrait of his consort and had his eyes widened upon seeing the portrait
"H-Han Yunxi!!!" he said and examined her face, it was really her, the girl he was with 7 years ago who was kidnapped by rebels, she is the princess of Ju state, she's more taller and prettier than before
"but Rong-" He said and finally slapped himself awake
"huh, so you did not reveal your true self!!!" says Jin and brought the portrait on his secret safe behind the books, he hanged the portrait and smiled
"Your not a Han, your a Rong!!"
Jin went out of his safe and prepared for the morning sun, Jin will take part in going to the capital to take his consort at the temple
"Jin are you ready now!!" Shao Qi asked
"yes Shūshu!!" Jin is wearing an assassin suit and a long robe hoodie to keep people from knowing him, other assassin monk also dressed up like Jin to keep things safe
"Jin, Master Long- everyone prepare were heading to the capital, keep the prince intact with you and keep your guards on!!!" Shao Qi commanded
"Shūshu I'm no longer a kid??" Jin complained, Shao Qi glared at him to put his mask back
Rong Yunxi came out of the dressing room and looked at herself in the body size mirror
Her beautiful face were matched with the phoenex gown colored in crimson red, it was designed with fire linen with gold thread and silver, it was a dress no other wedding gown can match for it was hand woven, there are also pretty silver butterfly above the fire design making it seem like she is dressed in fire
"Huwahh (wow) the designer is a genius my lady by the way princess the emperor wants to put on your veil himself!" Yuan said ready to leave with her highness towards a new place and journey
"Yuan- are you sure you want to leave with me we might never return!" says Yunxi
"Diánxià, I'm an orphan and my parents are dead and I have no other family, you saved me when I was a kid so this time I'll risk my life to be with you!!!" says Yuan, this made Yunxi cry and hugged her most loyal servant
"let's go?" she helped Yunxi with her long gown and escorted her outside together with the other supporters, some of her loyal servant is crying luckily Yunxi transferred them in the care of Prince Xiuyan and the others to prince Xiuming so they will not be abused by her sibling or other consorts
upon coming out, she smelt the cold fresh air of the morning and saw servants and her family aligned to bid her goodbye some are sad and some are crying
"oh Mèimei have a safe journey!!!" giggled Shao Wen, Yunxi rolled her eyes and walked away
"Sister, I hope you won't get eaten!!!" mocked the two prince and bid her goodbye without any emotion but more like they are happy TGE bastard is gone, the only person who cared is Xiuyan who is crying and Xiuming who is worried, the empress even made her new clothes for cold seasons
"Yunxi, I know I've been bad to you but I want safety for your Journey!" Empress Nuan cried, the little sister for his son is going away making her so sad
"yes Diánxià!" she kowtowed before she looked at her youngest brother
"Xiuyan, be good okay!!" she kissed him and went to his father who is silently weeping, his emotions are mixed with chaos and heartbreak
"Yunxi, if only I can take you away!!!" he said and hugged her tight, Xiuming also came for a hug and advised Yunxi
"Sister, if something happens don't hesitate to send me a message I'll come get you if they are making things bad for you!!!" says the crown prince, after all that has happened inside the castle she can still smile knowing that there are people who cared for her despite her sibling and step moms who hate her
"Yuan take care of her OK!!!"
"yes Diánxià!"
the carriage arrived closer to the royalties and Ju soldiers with Prince Fei Xu is at the castle gate waiting for the bride.
Emperor Bai Xu put on the veil and locked his eyes on his daughter for one last time before he let her go
"take care daughter!!!" he cried and hugged Yunxi
Fei Xu is at the gate looking tall and handsome in his horse, Feng had his little troops ready, scattered among the palace soldiers sent by emperor Lin, The carriage arrived and the emperor came out with prince Xiuming
"your majesty!" Fei Xu went down knowing he is facing the Emperor
"My name is Prince Fei Xu I am here to escort the princess to her journey!!" he kowtowed
"you are-" Xiuming said
"aren't you the immortal prince of Zhu state?" asked the emperor, Fei Xu made a serious face and nod his head
"yes I am your majesty!"
"so you are the father in law of my daughter, you look so young-"
"I am Diánxià, but I am already 42 years old, me, not aging is just my immortality!!" Fei Xu explained
"Where is your son?"
"My son is not here your majesty, he is waiting for the bride and is not allowed to go out!!!" says Fei Xu before he got up to his horse
"My first son will tag along with you as a respect til you reach your destination!!!" says the emperor, he does not trust the Zhu soldiers including Xu because he knew he is the Father of catastrophe
"then we'll take our leave your highness!!" they all set off with Xiuming, while the Emperor watched them all leave til no trace is seen
"hey, did you see that handsome guy outside?" Yuan said and closed the window
"didn't you hear- he's the father of your husband!!" she continued
"How can they be so different from each other!!" Yunxi asked
"I know right, he look like your brother's age, young and beautiful man!!" giggled Yuan
"shush, he's already 40 and above!!" Says Yunxi
"Hahha you are right Diánxià-" she said, for a moment there is silence not long after Yuan spoke again
"Diánxià, will you be able to make it, what if that catastrophe Prince is eating people and his disease is just cover up or maybe you will also get his disease!!!" Yuan gave a worried expression
"ayya Yuan, don't overthink, I'm a doctor and healing fairy! besides if ever I'm in danger I have my fan!!" she said
"Yunxi, you have been keeping that black fan for a long time- it's really cool how it has a power that can blow away enemy!!!" Yuan clapped
"I know right! it was given to me by-" she paused and deepthink
"by who? you never mention anyone you said you just had that!!!" Yuan made a face
"Yeah, I know? I don't remember!!!" says Yunxi, 7 years ago after she had the fan she never let it go and even practice a little martial art with the fan as a weapon to protect herself
they travelled quite fast and finally reached the middle of the road towards the capital of Zhu state, they camped in the afternoon while waiting for someone they never expect
Xiuming also bid goodbye to Yunxi and wished her many luck
"Yunxi, like I told you before dont hesitate to send me letter when you are in danger, I'll come and get you with army!!!" says Xiuming and hugged her one last time
"I will brother!!" she hugged back
the army of Ju state also set off leaving Yunxi to Prince Fei Xu
Shao Qi and the others arrived at the capital by noon but they saw no Fei Xu, he was asked to get the bride at Ju empire and had a long journey since yesterday so they set off to meet Fei Xu, Master Long was able to track them all by his flute hypnotizing wind, Master long has been mastering it for years and now he managed to hypnotize a small army of animals to lead him his own way that's why he never get lost
Fei Jin liked the place including the beautiful forest heading towards the Ju state, it's quite colorful as he approach and by the time they reached the camp Fei Xu greeted everyone
"Dad" Fei Jin said and happily hugged Xu, Fei Xu was surprised and looked at Shao Qi
"he wanted to come!!" he said before he walked away
"I'm here to escort the princess- I mean my wife!!!" he said awkwardly
"Jin, behave yourself don't let anyone know you?" says Xu and led him to his tent
Jin pulled his cloak out of his shoulder and got himself naked to meditate, he needs to cool down the energy inside him and his eyes are gold again, upon meditating it went back to normal brown
"Jin, the princess is at the other tent a little block away from ours would you like to meet her?" Xu asked
"No! I'm no bald and skin diseased guy!!" he said and continued to close his eyes
"are you mad about your portrait!!"
"No!!!" he smiled with his eyes closed
"Dad, let her think her husband is so so ugly!!!" he chuckled
"Fei Xu just smiled and knows his son's plan
"then you can just take a little glimpse of her, I saw her earlier she is beautiful-" Fei Xu winked at Jin before leaving to get them some food,
Jin smiled again and pulled his clothes and mask on before he left the tent
Jin is soaked in his cloth only his eyes are seen, his long cloak danced with the wind and followed the two woman walking away from the camp
Yunxi reached a place surrounded by trees and dead plants a little far away, she wanted to meditate and gather some energy
"My lady are you sure this place is safe, what if some wild animal will eat us"
"Yuan, I wanna be alone in here, we're gonna go back after!!" she said
"sheesh, I'm glad you are not on your wedding gown!!" Yuan said before walking towards her
"ah yuan, I forgot my pouch can you go get it please- I wanna sprinkle some glitter herb for this dead plant" Yunxi pointed on the plants that are destroyed, probably destroyed by some wild animals or someone else
"your right? poor babies, My lady stay here okay don't leave!!" Yuan ran back to the camp leaving Yunxi alone at the forest
her bangs was tingling her forehead making her chuckle and her eyes travelled from tree to tree exploring the nature
"I wish I could see you again-" she mumbled out of nowhere
Yunxi was startled after she heard a branch creek, quickly she pulled her fan and gushed it towards the direction, There Jin was blown by a light wind but he stood still while his cloak dance the mid air
Jin was surprised and saw a beautiful woman holding a fan, she was exquisite and fabulous, but what caught his attention is the fan she is holding
'My Fan' he spoke in his mind
"w-who are you?" Yunxi asked in caution pointing the fan towards Jin
"I am a soldier from the Dragon Temple my lady, I am here to protect you!" he said and gave a smiling eyes, Yunxi saw this knowing she cannot see his face because of his mask, he put on his hoodie and stood still looking at her
"Y-You startled me!!!" she said and folded the fan back to her pocket
"Sorry My lady!!!" he said and walked near her
"what are you doing?" she stepped back, and was about to fall down the slide but luckily Jin catched her waist and pulled her towards his body
"Miss be careful!!!" he spoke
"t-thank you!!!" says Yunxi and stepped away from Jin
"My lady what are you doing here it's past 5 PM!!!" Jin started a conversation
"I- I'm here to meditate, I was bored at the camp!!" she said and fixed her dress
Jin looked around and saw dead plants below the trees
"the plants are not dead my lady?" Jin spoke
"what are you saying? can't you see their color, and they are almost rotten!!!" she said and poke one plant
"careful some are poisonous!!" Jin said
"what do you mean- don't worry no poison can harm me" she smiled
"where is Yuan!!!" Finally she complained
"princess, when the sun cannot give light to the forest the flowers will bloom!!" Jin said and pulled her up to witness such scene
the last ray of the sun went down and darkness covered the earth in a minute
"Yunxi, take a close look on the dead plant!!" Jin whispered, Yunxi felt a tingle in her cheeks but locked her eyes on the plant Jin is pointing
the dead plant started to move as if it woke up, the dark rotten plant has turned to a color of millions, from blue, red, to purple, below the trees every plant lit up like fire and bloomed in an unexpected way
"wow, how did that happen!!!" she said getting fascinated
"these plants are called night flowers, they die during the day and wake up during the night, that's because they are the opposite of a day flower, except that they glow and give light to the forest?" Jin explained getting uncomfortable in the mask, he wants to remove it but he does not want to show his face
"really, how come I don't know?" Yunxi looked at Jin
"they only grow deep in the forest where they are far away from humans and animals that might slaughter them!!" Jin explained
Yunxi smiled and looked around the area getting fascinated by the flowers of a million colors
"My lady!!!" Yuan came in a hurry holding a lamp in her hands but looks like they won't be needing it anymore, Yuan made an o sound and ran to Yunxi
"Princess this place is amazing!!!" she adored
"Yuan we won't be needing the herb glitter anymore?" Yunxi said
"they are not dead plants Yuan, they are just night flowers!!!" Yunxi explained, she looked behind her and saw no one around
"eh- where is he?" Yunxi spoke
"who?"
"the guard!!!" she said
"I saw no guard!!!"
"maybe he ran off for duty!!!" says Yuan
"oh well, we'll go back a little later I wanna enjoy this beautiful flowers!!!" Jin is just above them looking at Yunxi explore the night flower
it was a wonderful forest that look like a rainbow, so sweet and breathtaking view
