Being General's Wife
Chapter 7. Engagement

"Tidaaaakkkkkk,,,, sh,,, sh,,,, shosh....." Celine woke up sitting down and sweating coldly. Body shivers.

"Miss, what's wrong? You had a bad dream?" Xixi came over while offering Celine some drinking water.

"Slek,,,,,,glek,,, yes.I'm a nightmare,,,,, a terrifying dream....hiiii.." shaking and shivering Celine's body.

He recalled how his tongue and canine teeth touched his neck. And how that snake face turned into Zhou Ming. Is there something bad going to happen?

"Miss, the big madam told you to get ready to enter the palace together with the big madam and the big lord. Does the lady still feel dizzy? This was the medicine that the palace physician prescribed last night" Xixi reminded Celine as she handed her porridge, plain water and medicine that was already warm.

Celine took a spoon and ate her porridge quickly. After that he started taking his medicine and water. Celine felt very fresh. He smiled with satisfaction.

"Xixi, is this water from our well? Please boil water to drink more in the future. We're gonna need it. All right, now let's get ready" Celine replied. There is no point in procrastinating. Although the consequences of the blood phobia were still felt, Celine had to endure it in order to meet the Emperor.

After bathing and changing into proper clothes, Celine got into her carriage. Inside the carriage Celine ate the snacks that Xixi had provided for her.

Arriving at the gate of Celine's palace came down and walked behind her father and grandmother. They walked towards the royal hall.

Inside the royal hall were already many guests present. Today was General Zhou's welcoming party that managed to win the war on the border. Even expanding the kingdom.

Many palace officials brought with them their daughters to socialize. Who knows they got the blessing to be able to join the royal members.

When Celine arrived, there were already many people whispering about her. They mostly talked about how the useless daughter of the Marquis got thanks to the marriage agreement of the late empress. How fortunate. Many gave envious gazes to Celine.

"Don't be afraid. Uphold your body" the grandmother walking next to Celine encouraged.

"Good grandma" said Celine slowly.

In Celine's heart sighed. Remembering again the dream this morning that made his entire body goosebumps.

"Take it easy on yourself Celine. It's all just a dream" Celine muttered repeatedly as if chanting a spell.

They finally reached their seats. Their seats are arranged in the front row at the left end. Right opposite to General Zhou's seat in front of the left.

"Prince Zhang arrived" the announcement was echoed by the servant.

A few memories are present. Han Cya Lin was 12 years old. Seen how innocent Han Cya Lin looked at the handsome face of 15-year-old prince Zhang. His face is quite similar to that of the emperor and general of Zhou when viewed from a certain point of view. His face is playboy. With a mischievous and alluring smile he was like a friendly version of General Zhou. What distinguished him was that Prince Zhang's brows were not as thick as General Zhao's eyebrows. Under Prince Zhang's eyes was a mole. And the aura of the General is clearly irrefutable.

Somehow the original owner was more infatuated with Prince Zhang than General Zhou. Clearly Celine preferred General Zhou who was his ideal type of man to prince Zhang who seemed not serious and childish. Celine sighed.

Prince Zhang sat on his seat at the front end to the right. Next to him consecutively to the left, sat prince Zayn, daughter of Zxyo, prince of Zixing. Next to prince Zixing was the seat of prince Zhou. They were all the younger brothers of prince Zhou, the son of the Emperor's daughter from the Concubine.

Celine looked at the faces of the Emperor's daughter's son. They are similar in some specific facial contours. Perhaps it was because their respective mothers were different so they did not bear a perfect resemblance. But still, the royal family was a well-groomed family rather than commoners. With that Celine sighed.

"General Zhou arrives" the servant announced. Everyone else stood up again. Respect to every member of the royal family.

With a firm step Prince Zhou directly walked to his seat. Her trust bodyguard, Li Ping, always accompanied her. Whispers sounded.

"Why is Prince Zhou wearing a silver mask?"

"Has his face hurt?"

"The handsome face of prince aaahhh"

"I came because I wanted to see General Zhou's face, what a pity, but he remained authoritative, my dream husband"

Celine looked up at the whispers around her. It turned out that the General with the cold aura had many fans. Luckily also the original owner was to be married to General Zhou. I don't know if the original owner doesn't like the General. It must be the novelist who created such a plot. Hhhhhhhh troublesome.

"Emperor arrives"

"May His Majesty live a long and healthy life always" all saluted in unison.

"Wake up" after arriving at his seat the Emperor smiled.

"It seems that everyone is present. Prince Zhou, go ahead" the Emperor's deep voice sounded.

"Servant of the Emperor's father" General Zhou stood bowing in front of the emperor.

"What's wrong with your face? Why are you wearing a mask? Are you hurt bad enough?" Ask Emperor.

"Although the father of the emperor, the face of the servant was wounded by a sword that was quite severe. Therefore the servant wears a mask, keeping the people from being frightened" Zhou Ming replied calmly.

"You are an extraordinary General, a gift to this kingdom. Thanks to your victory in the war, we got 2 more expansion areas. Therefore I bestow upon you the title of unsurpassed General. Is there anything else you want?" Emperor asked.

"No Majesty" replied general Zhou calmly.

"Han Cya Lin" suddenly her name was called making Celine look up in shock.

"Forward" his grandmother sizzled at him.

Rather nervous and afraid Celine advanced before the emperor. Next to General Zhou.

"Greetings to the Emperor. May the Emperor live a long and healthy life always" Celine revered.

"I heard you fell, how are you doing now?" Ask Emperor.

"Hamba was a little careless, Your Majesty the Emperor, but the condition of the servant has improved" Celine replied straightforwardly.

"I heard that the General ignored me and instead came to your residence first when he first returned from the battlefield, is that right?" Ask the Emperor to investigate.

"Please forgive your Majesty the Emperor......"Celine fell to her knees and before Celine finished her reason a cold and sharp voice sounded.

"Please, your Majesty the Emperor, it was only due to the negligence of the servant who was so worried about Lin'er's situation that he thoughtlessly ran the servant horse to the Marquis' residence. For the negligence of the servant, the servant was willing to accept the punishment" General Zhou's long reply made all those present shocked.

The sharp silence made the situation quiet and gripping for a few moments. Wild speculations started popping up in each person's mind.

'General Zhou really appreciates this marriage agreement'

'Newly this time General Zhou defended a woman'

'Will the sun rise from the west?'

'How lucky Han Cya Lin is, that fat, ugly girl'

'ooohhhh,,,, my husband why are you so defending Han Cya Lin?'

Everyone's mind was like a sharp blade that pierced into Celine's body. It did not feel like his body was sweating cold sweat. An uncomfortable feeling appeared in his heart.

"Hahahahahaha" the blaring laughter of the Emperor suddenly sounded filling the room.

"Good-good. Since it seems that Zhou'er is impatient and Lin'er is old enough to get married, then I bestowed upon the prince/General Zhou Ming's marriage to Han's daughter Cya Lin which will be held on the 3rd of next month" the Emperor's sudden announcement made the atmosphere instantly rowdy.

"Thank you for the blessings and graces of the Emperor's father" General Zhou who stood in the middle of the hall lowered his head and saluted.

Face seriously. No one will know how relieved Prince Zhou feels because he will succeed in achieving his goals. Get her mother's relics. This marriage was the will of her mother. So he believed it was the best for him.

Different from our main character. Celine was silently flabbergasted speechless. His eyes glare. Mouth gaping. It's funny that his face. Luckily, no flies went in there. For a moment he still could not believe what was happening. Why get married suddenly? What caused this sudden big change. If according to the storyline, the new wedding will be held on the 3rd month to the 9th, which is still 3 months away. Why now instead of advancing to another half a month??????what the hell is going on here??????
