Chapter 6: Little uncle picking up the bride.
"I know, Ling'er promises to be obedient. Grandmother, when can Ling'er visit mother?" Mu Zi Ling thought about the mother that she had not yet met. When she could pay her a visit, she would take a look at her illness.
The Old Madame was a bit surprised when she heard this, but she still answered, "Your mother is resting up in a quiet garden that is quite far from here. It wouldn't be too late for you to pay her a visit another day."
Old Madam knew that Mu Zi Ling became quiet and shy after she turned three. She has never taken the initiative to find where Li En went. The Old Madame was curious about this, but now that Mu Zi Ling has changed, the Old Madame was very pleased.
Mu Zi Ling could only give a nod. She had heard from Xie that the quiet garden was far out into the outskirts of the city. With the mountains and stream there, it was a good place to recover from one's illness.
Ever since Mu Zhen Guo retired from the battlefield, he stayed by Li En's side in the quiet garden. He only rushed back yesterday to see Mu Zi Ling and had already left.
From the looks of it, it seemed like her father really loved her mother, but how could he be so indifferent to his own daughter. His daughter was getting married today, but he wasn't even here see her off.
Without knowing why she was thinking of this, Mu Zi Ling's heart filled with a slight feeling of being lost!
"Ling'er, after you are married, Grandmother will be returning to the Qing An Temple to pray. In the future you must take care of yourself in the Qi King's Manor and you mustn't anger the Qi King. If you do not have to do so, do not go the royal palace." The Old Madame honestly reminded her.
Mu Zi Ling's heart felt a little pain. Even if the Old Madame couldn't be with her, just the fact that she was worried about her filled Mu Zi Ling with satisfaction.
"Grandmother, you can be assured, Ling'er knows all this already." Mu Zi Ling did not care about the situation of the Qi King's Manor. As long as no one provoked her, they will all live in peace.
As for the royal palace, she naturally knew what kind of place it was and she wouldn't foolishly walk in there.

Time passed by and it was now close to noon.
The matchmaker walked in with a happy look on her face, "The hour is upon us. Quickly help the bride put on her phoenix crown and lets go!"
The maid on the side quickly grabbed the phoenix crown and carefully placed it onto Mu Zi Ling's head. Then they draped a red cloth over her head.
The matchmaker then escorted Mu Zi Ling out the doors.
"Ling'er!" The Old Madame quickly chased after them. Her silhouette seemed extremely lonely and it looked like she suddenly aged several years.
"Grandmother, rest assured, Ling'er will be fine. In the future when Ling'er has time, Ling'er will come to Qing An Temple and visit you." Mu Zi Ling really couldn't bare to leave the first person who given her this warm feeling.
Although she had only known the Old Madame for a day, she was already filled with deep emotions for her.
If she really could not go back, then she would definitely find a chance to pay her respects to her in the future. She just did not know when she would be able see her again.
Outside, the gongs and drums were being hit, creating a festive atmosphere.
There was nobody that heard Mu Yi Xue's deafening scream coming from the Xue Courtyard, "AHH!!! My face and body, what happened to it?!!"
She had clearly bathed multiple times yesterday. In addition, the skin rotting powder didn't have effects like this. Her whole body was covered in spots. Just what was happening to her?!
Mu Yi Xue has also woken up early today to try and stop Mu Zi Ling, but she never thought that her body would be covered in spots like this. How could she let others see her like this? Seeing her face covered in spots, she almost fainted on the spot.

Although this marriage was not considered a blessing, it was still a marriage for the Qi King arranged by the Empress Dowager, so the scene was very spectacular.
There was a ten miles marriage parade with eight large carriages. Gongs and drums sounding out around them, not a single thing was missing. This earned the royal family quite a bit of reputation.
After the matchmakers placed Mu Zi Ling's carriage on the ground, an evil charming young man with a face covered in an evil smile, whilst wearing a bright red marriage robe with a large red flower on his chest immediately jumped out. This person was the sixth prince, Long Xiao Ze.
"Third sister in law, third brother is busy and couldn't come, so he had this prince come and pick you up." Long Xiao Ze said in an evil manner. He reached his hand out towards Mu Zi Ling, preparing to help her into the other carriage.
Although the Mu Zi Ling couldn't see what this person looked like through her veil, she could tell he deserved to be beaten based on his voice. The older brother was getting married, but he had the younger brother pick up the bride? He's busy and can't come?
He was giving her a hard time the moment she arrived, how could she not repay him for this? A colorless and flavorless liquid flowed down her sleeve into the palm of her hands. Without saying another word, she grabbed Long Xiao Ze's hand and entered the carriage.
Long Xiao Ze was stunned for a second. These hands were so soft, cold, and nice to touch. After recovering from his thoughts, he thought about how this woman had no modesty at all, casually holding a man's hand like this.
He only held his hand out as a formality, but who would have thought that she would actually take his hand to enter the carriage. Seeing that she had already disappeared, he rubbed his nose and hopped on his horse.
On the streets, many citizens were talking to one another. There were many women looking at the carriage with envy, wishing that they were the ones sitting in the carriage instead.
"This is truly worthy of having the Empress Dowager personally arranging this marriage. It's said that Mu Manor's Eldest Miss is quite a beauty."
"Che. Even if she is pretty, she is still an idiot. Pretty, but useless. After she gets married, she will just be a flower vase.
[TL Note: Flower vase - Someone who is pretty but doesn't know how to do anything]
"That's right, that's right, my Qi King will never love an idiot like her. He definitely will not even spare her a glance!!"
"What do you mean your Qi King, you mean mine!"
"Mine!"
Once Mu Zi Ling entered the carriage, she covered her head and went to sleep. She was not bothered by the noise outside at all.
When Long Xiao Ze riding his horse heard the citizens talking, he was pleased rather than worried, revealing a happy appearance the whole trip. Third Sister in law, the show doesn't end here, let's see if you can handle what is about to happen.
The gongs and drums were ringing the entire trip, making it really lively.
When they reached the Qi King's Manor, Long Xiao Ze dismounted and disappeared without a trace.
Mu Zi Ling allowed the matchmaker to carry her to the wedding hall, but she did not see Long Xiao Yu at all. There were no elders in the front seats of the hall, only a few officials bringing gifts and their servants.
The main characters were not here yet so how could they continue with the marriage ceremony? The people sitting at the side all looked at Mu Zi Ling and began to whisper to each other.
"The Qi King is not here, so how can they continue with the marriage ceremony?"
"Although the Qi King is going to marry her, he definitely will not give her a proper marriage ceremony."
"That's right. Being the Qi King's wife is already worth three lifetimes of luck."
...
Not long passed and Long Xiao Ze walked in carrying a little pig by leash, "Third sister in law, since third brother is not here, this prince has brought this little thing to complete marriage ceremony with you instead."
Long Xiao Ze was thinking in his heart, "Mu Zi Ling, you will be so embarrassed by this that you will slam yourself into the wall to kill yourself.
Through the red veil, Mu Zi Ling could hear the guests whispering. It seemed like they were preparing to watch a good play.
Chapter 7: Messing with the little uncle
Mu Zi Ling looked at the ground and saw a little pig that had already fallen asleep. Mu Zi Ling really wanted to curse at this point.
Before, she had seen someone marry with a chicken and had always thought that it was crazy. However, who knew that Long Xiao Ze would be even crazier and brought a pig for her to marry!
Some things could be tolerated, but some things could not. He wanted to see her be and humiliated? Was Long Xiao Ze's brain filled with water to think that he could play her so easily?
Mu Zi Ling didn't show any changes in her expressions or mood. She only laughed and said, "Hurry, we can't miss the auspicious time. Quickly, this Princess has to pay respects to the heaven and earth with Pig Highness." Mu Zi Ling purposefully said "Pig Highness" loudly.
After she said those words, the room went silent. Long Xiao Ze couldn't believe what he had heard. What happened to running into a wall because of embarrassment? She was laughing! And even…..
Long Xiao Ze immediately started to stutter, "You… You dare say Third Brother is a pig!"
Everyone who was present was scared out of their wits by what Long Xiao Ze had said. They didn't even dare to breath too loudly.
"This Princess never said anything like that. Today is this Princess' and the Qi King's marriage. You brought over a pig to marry this Princess. Doesn't that just mean that the Qi King is a pig? Why would there be a problem for this Princess to call it Pig Highness?"
As Mu Zi Ling said this, she looked at the rope in Long Xiao Ze's hand that was leashing the pig. Then facing the masters of the ceremony she gently said, "Continue with the marriage."
Long Xiao Ze was suddenly struck dumb. How could this woman be so shameless? This clearly was not what he meant! He only wanted to humiliate her.
No, he can't let her bow to the heaven and earth with a pig. Wouldn't this mean that he recognized the pig as his Third Brother? If his Third Brother heard about this, he would most definitely peel a layer of his skin off!
"Wait! Third sister-in-law, the head seats doesn't have any elders, let's just skip the bowing part and go straight into the bridal chambers." hurriedly stopped Long Xiao Ze.
"Are you sure we should go straight into the bridal chambers?" Mu Zi Ling evilly laughed.
"Yes, go straight into the bridal chambers." Long Xiao Ze said without even hesitating, but his heart still felt panicky. He felt that something was wrong, and it wouldn't be so easy.
"Lead the way! This Princess wants to enter the bridal chambers with Little Feather." Not caring about what the others would see, she took off her bridal veil and carried the soundly asleep pig out of the auditorium.
Little Feather?
When Long Xiao Yu heard Mu Zi Ling call the pig Little Feather, while even go into the bridal chambers with it, he almost cried out in fear. He had originally wanted to humiliate Mu Zi Ling. However, he didn't expect that she would flip the situation and humiliate his Third Brother instead.
Was this the quiet and shy Mu Manor's Eldest Miss? He had heard that Mu Zi Ling was an idiot, but why didn't that seem to be the case now?
Everyone present was also struck dumb.
The Princess had just called the pig "Little Feather." Little Feather*? Xiao Yu? That name was awfully similar to the Qi King's name.
The Princess had even wanted to go into the bridal chamber with that pig! It wouldn't be good if the Qi King found out about this. They all looked sympathetically at Mu Zi Ling and Long Xiao Ze.
When Long Xiao Ze recovered from the shock, he angrily warned everyone, "No one here today is allowed to let the Qi King know what happened! Anyone who leaks the information will be killed without mercy!"
After that, he hurriedly followed after Mu Zi Ling's footsteps, leaving behind a room full of people not knowing whether to leave or stay. Who did they offend? They were only here to attend the wedding.
A supposedly happy moment turned into a farce. Not only was the marriage ceremony not completed, the guests were all scared and frightened. Every one of them regretted that they came to attend.
Mu Zi Ling followed the matchmaker into the Yu Han Palace. This was the place that Long Xiao Yu lived in. Right when she was about to go in...
"Wait! Third sister-in-law, quickly give me the pig." Long Xiao Ze cried hastily as he hurried over.
What a joke! If he really let Third Sister-in-law take the pig inside, that would be disastrous. His Third Brother had a pet peeve for cleanliness. If he was to know that a pig entered his bedroom, Long Xiao Ze would be done for!
When Long Xiao Ze was done talking, he reached out to take the rope from Mu Zi Ling's hand. Only then did he see her appearance.
He was stunned. He didn't expect that Third Sister in law was actually so beautiful. Although she may not know how to do anything, she was pretty. Third Brother marrying her wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.
"That wouldn't do. Sixth Prince let Little Feather accompany me into the bridal chambers, how can I reject your kindness? Don't worry. This Princess will "praise" your actions today to his highness the Qi King.
Mu Zi Ling escaped Long Xiao Ze's stretched out hands. She had purposefully said the word "praise" loudly for him to hear. She knew that this was all thought out by Long Xiao Ze. He sure did have guts to think up an idea like this, letting her marry a pig.
Long Xiao Ze almost kneeled down to her. When did the Mu Manor's Eldest Miss become so sharp tongued and eloquent? Also, when did he ever tell her to go into the bridal chamber with that stupid pig? Why does she keep misinterpreting what he meant?
"Third Sister, I beg you, please give the pig to me. I promise that I will listen to you from now on." Long Xiao Ze wanted to cry, but he had no tears. He raised up his hand to promise Mu Zi Ling. What was not being able to steal a chicken and losing rice? What was grabbing a rock to smash one's own foot?**
He wanted to compromise just like this? She didn't even have enough fun yet.
Not taking Long Xiao Ze's words seriously, Mu Zi Ling purposefully said slowly, "Give you it for what? This Princess still wants to bring it in."
"Don't! Don't! Third Sister-in-law, I know I was wrong. Shouldn't it be fine now that I admit to my mistakes? Just think of me as a fart and let me go." Long Xiao Ze shook both of his hands in panic.
Why is he so stupid that he brought a pig over? He could've brought over anything, yet why did he have to bring over a pig? However, it was already far too late to regret his decisions.
Mu Zi Ling looked at him mockingly. At this moment even the word fart was used.
If he had known earlier, then why did he do it?
She threw the rope to Xie, who was standing off to the side. " Xie, pull it down to make some roasted pig. This Princess is hungry."
Waking up so early today, Mu Zi Ling didn't even want to continue playing with him. It would be better for her to catch up on some sleep.
Plus, she never actually wanted to bring the pig inside. She only wanted to scare Long Xiao Ze a little bit. Who knew that he could be so easily scared? With his small guts, he still dared to mess with her?
This was Long Xiao Yu's bedroom. She had not forgotten that the Long Xiao Yu that she haven't meet yet, had mysophobia. It would be terrible if she offended him just because of a pig.
*Play on words. Mu Zi Ling is calling the pig "Xiao Yu Zi" which translates to Little Feather. The Third Brother is called Xiao Yu, but just different words.
** Basically, he tried to get the advantage but instead only ended up worse off
