The Hidden Phoenix World

1

In the Southern Kingdom, Spring always comes early. Streets and courtyards where the ground mostly starts to become green, trees grow and flowers bloom. However, this year is a bit different, having entered February and just the night before, suddenly snow falls and the weather gets colder.

Snow caught the Yu town people off guard. There was one more thing that was as unexpected as the sudden snowfall that shocked people. It was news that General Ji Feng Li was going to marry General Hua Mu's daughter from Pingxi

From the family's point of view, this marriage was a perfect marriage, an equal status and a blessing from heaven.However, in the eyes of the Yu people, the distance between the bride and the groom was a bit too wide. General Ji Feng Li was a legendary figure. He's almost unknown. With his incredible talent he made a name for himself at a young age. He was given the rank of a General at the age of nineteen by the Emperor, making him the youngest General in the Southern Kingdom.Despite his extraordinary talent and status, he was a humble man, a humble man, he was close to ordinary people. In these three years, he did many things that benefited ordinary people therefore he was loved by many. Moreover, he was said to be handsome, gentle and elegant. She was the best lover adored by the young lady above Yu city and the entire Southern Kingdom.

Now, this best lover would be someone else's lover, not knowing how many broken-hearted women there were. Although they knew they were unfit for General Ji, but they hoped that General Ji would marry a suitable woman so that they could feel better. However, the woman he was going to marry was General Hua Mu's daughter.

In Yu city, there were many beautiful and talented women from good family backgrounds, some already known. The most famous is Wen's daughter***Fu, Wen Wan. She was said to be the best woman in the Southern Kingdom, not only extremely beautiful, but also excelled in poetry and painting, she was a rare talented woman.In the palace, there was a third princess, Huang Fu Yan, who was the only one who was the most beautiful, fond of playing Qin, it is said that his Qin skills are outstanding. The daughter of a minister named An Rong, although not as beautiful as Wen Wan, her skills in grazing were well known throughout the capital.

People would be able to count some talented young women in the capital for ten in one breath, but for General Hua Mu's daughter, they didn't even know her name, let alone count it. A woman so beautiful, ominous, and so mediocre, was definitely not suitable to be General Ji's bride. Even God doesn't feel fair that it suddenly snows at this time.

After all, the snow could not stop this marriage, the first day of February, young lady Hua was taken to General Ji's House.

Night, a lump of snow pushed by the wind began to pile up.

Hua Zhu Yu sat on the bed, lifting up her red bridal veil that covered her face. The red curtain, the red dragon, and the phoenix candle make it clear that she is the bride. After all, he could not escape! Even if he could avoid this marriage, in the future he would still face another marriage. Although she had never met her husband before, she was still looking forward to meeting him.

“Nona, your face is too pale, let the slave help you apply make-up, you are like this, the fear will scare General Ji.” Tao Se, a dowry servant whispered.

These days, he heard many rumors of injustice about how his nona was not good enough for Xiangye. In her eyes, she lost more beauty and talent than the beautiful people in the capital, but her nona had a reputation as unattractive, lacking talent and an unfriendly woman.

Hua Zhu Yu jokingly raised his eyebrows, laughing lightly: "If he is afraid of my appearance, then it is better to just leave him alone, he does not deserve to be my husband." 

Hearing what Hua Zhu Yu said, Tao Se who admired Ji Feng Li like the city lady Yu said "Xiangye will not be afraid."

A step away from the outside could be heard, Tao Se anxiously moved Hua Zhu Yu to seal the bridal veil. Seeing Tao Se's nervous state, Hua Zhu Yu smiled brightly, brighter than spring blooms. His fingers simply put down the curtains, the door brocade curtain opened, a sharp cold air entered.

"You all back off." There was an elegant voice, his voice was light and gave a sense of grace and tranquility. Tao Se lowered his head and with a few servants retreated together. After some time, there was still no movement, as the hijab covered her face, Hua Zhu Yu did not know what Ji Feng Li was doing until she had not lifted her headscarf.

A long silence ...

Hua Zhu Yu sat on the bed leisurely. He would not lose his patience easily. Finally, there was a sound in the room, wine was poured into the cup. A slender hand handed him a cup of wine. The cup was light, bright red and had relief decorations, Dark red wine, brilliant colors like flushed beauty cheeks. He did not know what wine was and had never drank wine before. He sipped a cup of wine.At first, the wine tasted bland then slowly revealed sweet marks and a pleasant aroma, which lasted a long time, it was an excellent wine. He was about to put down his cup and hand the cup of wine to Ji Feng Li but the cup slipped out of his hand. It fell to the floor and broke into large and small pieces, each piece sparkling with a bright light.

Hua Zhu Yu frowned and lowered her eyes to see her hand weaken suddenly.
