456 - Senior Sister Is on Top

This time, a significant number of guests came to attend the wedding, enough to occupy more than ten tables. If they had to prepare each dish themselves, even working tirelessly they wouldn’t be able to keep up. Wen Mingyu had foreseen this and had already ordered a variety of ready-made delicacies from Xue Ling Ge and Zhen Xiu Lou. Bai Ling and her companions only prepared food for the two tables of their closest acquaintances. The half day passed quickly. By the time dusk arrived, all the guests had gathered. Wen Mingyu realized she couldn't delay any longer, so she dragged Bai Ling along to put on makeup and change clothes. Bai Ling, reluctant to leave, reminded them as she left, "See you later, and don't eat without me!" Even with thirty dishes made by hand, she still found time to worry about such matters. Tang Muxi, helpless, pushed her out, saying, "Who’s going to eat without you? Go on, don’t delay." Only then did Bai Ling leave at ease. Half an hour later, Bai Ling and Wen Mingyu appeared in the main hall. This wedding was unusual, with no male participants; both were brides. They wore bright red wedding gowns, adorned with lifelike phoenix birds embroidered with gold and silver thread. The long trains of their dresses resembled exquisite feathers, sweeping the luxurious carpet and leaving traces of shimmering brilliance. Their faces were not covered by veils, allowing their exquisite makeup to be fully displayed. Their elegant eyebrows were striking, their floral ornaments were handsome, and their soft lips, touched with bright rouge, were as captivating as the crimson sun outside, mesmerizing and enchanting. Tang Muxi couldn’t take her eyes off them, never imagining her two friends could look this beautiful. Her eyes were full of envy. "Do you like it?" Jiang Yin, beside her, asked, holding her hand. "Yes, this wedding is even more captivating than ours." "Then let's get married again." "Again?" Tang Muxi frowned and shook her head. "No, we didn't divorce, so why remarry?" Her own wedding wasn’t as grand as Bai Ling’s, and her wedding gown was much simpler. But a wedding's charm is not just in its outward appearance; it’s in the memories and meaningful moments. With their mentor, friends, lover, and companions, it was already incredibly precious. Tang Muxi thought of their past and couldn’t help but feel nostalgic. Suddenly, she smiled and planted a kiss on her senior sister's cheek. "Jiang Yin, I like you." Her senior sister was stunned for a moment, then her eyes curved into a smile as she responded, "Tang Muxi, I like you too. From now on, you have to protect your senior sister well." "Yes, I will try my best." As the two whispered to each other, Bai Ling and Wen Mingyu had already completed their ceremonial vows. From now on, they would share a pillow and rest together in life and death, never parting, always staying together. Outside, the cold wind howled, the setting sun tilted to the west, and the world was blanketed in white. Inside, it was warm and lively, with soft candlelight illuminating the exquisite delicacies and fine wine, creating a cheerful atmosphere. As the wine flowed and the dishes were enjoyed, the usually lazy and carefree Mei Nu got so drunk she lost her senses, hugging Bai Ling and crying, "My dear apprentice, why are you so beautiful? Today you get married and start a family, but without your mother by your side. Don’t be afraid, you don’t need to think about your unappreciative mother anymore. I will protect you. If Wen bullies you, I will pluck her feathers and make them into magic robes like Tang Muxi’s companions. Okay?" Years ago, Tang Muxi once told her that the little snow fox had no parents and came into the world alone. From then on, Mei Nu vowed to protect the snow fox and make up for the missing parental love. So much time had passed, and she had come to see Bai Ling as family. But now, this little one was starting her own family. Alongside the joy, there was a subtle sense of pain. The wine may not intoxicate people, but emotions do. “Master, you’ve had too much to drink.” Bai Ling took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, “How about I help you to bed? Don’t worry, Mingyu won’t bully Bai Ling, and Bai Ling won’t leave.” In her soft murmurs, Mei Nu gradually fell asleep, and with Bai Ling’s help, soon lay in the soft bed. On the side, Wen Mingyu was dumbfounded, staring at Tang Muxi in a daze. “The one on your chest, is it really my feather?” She had actually had her suspicions earlier, feeling that the aura was very familiar. But since it was her friend, Wen Mingyu didn’t give it much thought, assuming she was mistaken. Now, with Mei Nu’s confirmation, she could no longer deceive herself. "No, it's not me! Your mother gave it to me!" Tang Muxi, not fully understanding herself and afraid of being misunderstood, hurriedly explained. Wen Mingyu, shocked, turned to find her mother, but before she could speak, she saw her mother hastily retreating. The noble princess found herself doubting for the first time. Wen Fei also drank a lot but, unlike others, did not lose control. Nevertheless, she was not fully conscious. Zhou Qin, fearing she might collapse at the table, promptly helped her up and said, "Mingyu, I’ll take her to rest first." Seeing Wen Mingyu nod, she took her leave. The wedding banquet that began at dusk finally concluded at midnight. After sending off the guests, Wen Mingyu and Bai Ling went to bathe before consummating their marriage. Tang Muxi, not wanting to stay longer, stood up to leave. She looked around and saw that her senior sister had vanished without her noticing, her heart tightening. She quickly extended her divine sense and found her senior sister's figure in a nearby courtyard. The winter air was chilly, and the moon was dim, with clouds gradually covering the stars’ light. Jiang Yin sat alone on a tree branch, immersed in the night. Before long, sensing a spiritual wave behind her, the next moment, someone was beside her. With the familiar scent, Jiang Yin smiled softly, leaning her head on that person's shoulder. "Just remembered me?" Tang Muxi, slightly stunned, laughed and shook her head. "No need to remember; senior sister is always in my heart. Are you moon-gazing? It’s not particularly beautiful tonight.” Jiang Yin laughed, "Then what is beautiful? Could it be you?" Tang Muxi nodded with deep conviction. "Indeed, it’s me." The cold wind brushed past, lifting a swirl of frost and snow. Although the night’s whiteness wasn’t conspicuous, it possessed a unique tranquility. "It's snowing, let's go back. Tonight, you admire the beauty; senior sister is beneath, I am on top."
