Early the next morning, Jin Yu was dressed in a bright red wedding gown by her maids. Instantly, her beauty was so breathtaking that one couldn't take their eyes off her.
"Miss, you're so beautiful..." one maid complimented sincerely.
Looking at her own face in the mirror, Jin Yu felt nothing special.
Another maid helped her put on her shoes. "No wonder the palace master is so determined to marry you!"
Jin Yu stood up and took a couple of steps. The inner skirt was a bit cumbersome, and the maid was about to tidy it up for her.
"No, I'll do it myself..." Jin Yu quickly stopped the maid as she was about to reach out. There were quite a few "ying leaves" sewn into the inner skirt. She couldn't let the maid find out.
Looking up at the hourglass, she realized it was getting late. "Where's your palace master?"
Hearing Jin Yu call him, Ouyang Jinse happily pushed the door open and walked in. "You're so beautiful today..." The woman in front of him was wearing a long red dress embroidered with peonies and a red water - lily skirt that trailed on the ground. In her high - coiled hair, a pearl - inlaid hairpin was slantingly inserted.
There was a faint blush on the woman's cheeks, and a delicate plum - blossom makeup was dotted on her forehead. Except when facing him, with a cold expression, she looked like a fairy who didn't eat the mortal world's fireworks.
"Cut the crap..." Jin Yu had no affection for him at all. "Let Niaoniao go first. Otherwise—"
"I'll never step out of this room!"
Ouyang Jinse was overjoyed at this moment, thinking that Jin Yu had already agreed to marry him. So he coaxed gently, "Be good..."
The maids around thought that this girl really had some skills seeing him being so humble.
Jin Yu got goosebumps. "Let her go or not?"
"Someone, send Niaoniao out." Ouyang Jinse had no choice but to comply.
Jin Yu rarely looked at Ouyang Jinse directly. "I want to see her leave with my own eyes!!!"
She stared at Ouyang Jinse sharply. She didn't trust him anymore.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Jinse felt a pang in his heart.
"Okay..." Let you watch her leave so that you can feel at ease and be my bride.
After being imprisoned for a few days, Niaoniao finally left the Golden Water Palace. At this moment, she was very worried about her young mistress.
"Hurry up..." the people behind urged her.
Niaoniao kept looking back and just happened to see Jin Yu standing on the wind - sheltering platform of the Golden Water Palace.
"Miss..." Niaoniao burst into tears, hating herself for being captured by the people of the Golden Water Palace and used to threaten her mistress.
"..." Jin Yu didn't say a word. She just waved her hand, telling Niaoniao to leave. Only when Niaoniao left could she act freely.
Ouyang Jinse lovingly shielded Jin Yu from the wind on the wall and reached out to touch her forehead.
"You see, I never go back on my word."
Jin Yu dodged his hand and said nothing. She just went downstairs directly.
"Palace master, the auspicious time is approaching."
"Tell the people below to stay vigilant."
Niaoniao was walking away from the Golden Water Palace when suddenly she was pulled aside. It was Cheng Song!
"Where's the miss?" Cheng Song asked anxiously.
Seeing Cheng Song, Niaoniao was on the verge of tears. "Miss, the miss..."
"The miss has been controlled by Ouyang Jinse!"
"Don't worry. The prince and the young master are coming soon!"
Niaoniao felt relieved. She just hoped that the miss could stall for some time. She saw Jin Yu in a red wedding gown, so she guessed that they were going to get married today.
Niaoniao knew very well that Jin Yu didn't like Ouyang Jinse. Today's situation was all because of her.
Just as she was worried, suddenly there was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance. It was Zhongli Mingye and Song Chuyu!
After hearing Niaoniao's report, Zhongli Mingye's face darkened.
"Qingfeng, send people to attack the main gate of the Golden Water Palace!"
"Chuyu, send people to the back gate."
"Let's go to the main gate..."
After the arrangement, the soldiers went to their respective positions.
At this time, there was also an argument in the wedding hall.
"I will never kowtow to your mother." Jin Yu looked coldly at Lady Jinhua, who was sitting limply on the main seat.
"Why?" Ouyang Jinse thought she was still holding a grudge about the previous things and tried to persuade her painstakingly.
But Jin Yu refused to agree. Seeing that the auspicious time was almost over, he got anxious!
"Do you believe that..." His sinister eyes emitted a cold light, and he grabbed Jin Yu with both hands.
"I'll have Niaoniao captured back right now?"
Jin Yu struggled to break free from his grip. "Ouyang Jinse, you really make me look down on you!"
"I, Song Jinyu, will never kowtow to your mother!"
After their argument, Ouyang Jinse was so angry that he was about to force her to pay respects.
On the main seat, Lady Jinhua opened her eyes and gave a sarcastic look. It was not clear whether she was mocking Jin Yu or her "filial" son.
"Palace master, there are visitors outside!" Ouyang Jinse gave Jin Yu a deep look and then strode away.
Seeing him leave, Jin Yu suddenly smiled.
She saw that several sub - hall masters in the wedding hall followed Ouyang Jinse out. The opportunity had come!
Only a few maids and the paralyzed Lady Jinhua on the main seat were left. She quietly lit a "ying leaf" in her wide wedding gown and threw it out.
Suddenly, the smoke filled the air, and many maids were choked and fainted. Jin Yu quickly fled, shouting all the way, "Fire!!"
As she ran, she lit the "ying leaves" in her hand and rushed all the way to the main gate.
At this time, Ouyang Jinse was confronting Song Chuyu and the others.
"Hand over my sister..." Song Chuyu was riding on his horse and threw his sword fiercely.
Song Chuyu narrowed his tiger - like eyes. "Otherwise, I will surely destroy your Golden Water Palace today."
"Brother, we are already in - laws..." Ouyang Jinse stood on the wind - sheltering platform and looked at Song Chuyu mockingly.
He was wearing a bright red wedding suit today. His fox - like eyes made him look even more charming. "What's the point of shouting and fighting like this?"
Hearing these words, Zhongli Mingye tightened the reins of his horse. "You're looking for death!"
After saying that, he waved his hand to signal the soldiers to charge. Today, he was determined to destroy the Golden Water Palace to relieve his hatred.
Ouyang Jinse's attention was attracted to Zhongli Mingye. What was that?
"Prince Yu!" Why was he here?
Ouyang Jinse never expected that the bride he was going to marry was also the beloved of this cold - faced prince.
Just as he was about to say something, suddenly there was thick smoke billowing behind him, and people were constantly shouting, "Fire!!" In the smoke, a figure in bright red was running desperately forward.
Ouyang Jinse's eyes almost popped out in anger. "Close the gate!"
But it was too late. The little woman managed to subdue the people in front of the gate in time and quickly ran out.
The figure in bright red ran all the way, burned all the way, and laughed all the way.
The fire in the Golden Water Palace had spread!
