Unaware that My Legitimate Sister is My Husband - Chapter 122
Chapter 122
(47.5)
Like an abject mage in the streets, the Emperor knew many strange and bizarre tricks that were not needed for his position and power, but they were small means to satisfy himself as a person occupying the highest position.
Of course, he had to adjust his bones, otherwise, how could he have such a beautiful and delicate body ?
If he couldn’t do that, then he didn’t deserve to take on that appearance.
As the sun sank into the mountains and under the glazed tiles of the palace, a blood-colored moon rose up and nestled itself in the velvet-like night sky.
A beautiful face finally appeared in the mirror, delicate and fragile, like a pure snowflake.
It belonged to a soft and beautiful young girl, with a pointed chin, a white and smooth forehead, and lips as red as petals, whose smile was a bit timid and soft, but so beautiful people could not take their eyes off her.
Just for a moment, that “young girl” looked very cold and detached, as she slowly touched her face, and her lips, somewhat infatuated with herself, she started to smile, and then she leisurely and carefully combed herself, as if she was dressing up her most beloved porcelain doll.
Soon, she put on a phoenix crown on herself, with fine gold intricately and exquisitely carved, in the dim light, it was shining a bright golden light. She unfolded her sleeves, and closed her eyes with pleasure, enjoying the momentary shiver brought about by imagination.
The “young girl” under the crown smiled a smile that didn’t look like one.
She was really too pleased.
Very soon, she would really enter the palace and become “Empress Xi”, this way no one could break them up.

Xi Xian’s marriage was organized in a bit of a hurry. It seemed that everyone was saying that even though she was a renowned noble girl in Chang’an for a moment, it didn’t amount to anything, and she ended up marrying an ordinary merchant in the end.
Some people were even saying that she must have made a big mistake to end up like this.
Xi Xian realized that this might also be something she needed to endure.
By marrying a mediocre merchant, she might be able to reduce her interactions with the noble clans, but she could not do anything about the messages of denigration that she was receiving.
It was the path she had chosen for herself, there was nothing to be sad about.
Some of the noble girls who had befriended Xi Xian had shunned her, but the one who surprised her was Lin Zixian.
Lin Zixian came to the Xi’s residence, and saw Xi Xian sitting on the couch, twisting silk threads in her hands, with a cup of tea beside her, leisurely embroidering a wedding dress for herself.
She could not help but feel puzzled.
Xi Xian was suddenly about to get married, to an unknown merchant, as if what happened between her and the new emperor was but a dream.
The person was about to get married, Lin Zixian would not mention another man, and she didn’t come here to upset her either.
Xi Xian was very calm, her eyes were half bent, as she listened to Lin Zixian’s words.
Lin Zixian said that in a few days, she would also get married, she didn’t feel reluctant about it, she just felt at a loss.
In the end, it turned out that her big brother, the crown prince, was not with the woman he loved either.
Xi Xian smiled and shook her head, “Woe and fortune is all according to one’s own destiny, I can only wish Miss Lin to be healthy and well.”
Lin Zixian looked at her with a complicated look, in fact, Xi Xian wasn’t very familiar with her, but she seemed to know Xi Xian very well, and Xi Xian now looked like she was somewhat happy, and didn’t have any bitterness or helplessness.
Lin Zixian really sighed with lament, there really existed people in the world that were willing to flow downwards, she just hoped she would not come to regret it.
Before Xi Xian got married, she saw Xi Yan, who was gravely ill.
Xi Yan was sick, so sick that her head was full of sweat, the maid kneeling on her side was holding a fine cloth towel, wiping her forehead carefully.
But Xi Yan’s eyes were very bright.
Xi Xian’s eyes could not help but redden and she whispered, “Big sister, why are you so sick?”
Whether it was her past life or this present life, she didn’t have many memories of this sister, and had never paid much attention to her. But in fact, it was this seemingly unimportant third sister who truly was gentle and dignified, she had always been looking on the side, silent, understanding everything, up until the moment she was about to die of illness, she was forever so silent.
Xi Xian also did not remember how her third sister ended up in her past life, it seemed that for her, this memory was as thin as gravel, simply not even worth remembering, so she very quickly forgot about it.
Xi Yan just smiled, pulled Xi Xian’s hand and said: “I am too sick to get up, I can’t see you get married, I hope you won’t blame me.”
Xi Xian just shook her head and slightly lowered her eyelashes.
Xi Yan said, “It’s good to get married, it’s very good to get married, big sister hopes you’ll have a good life.”
When she said this, her eyes were crystal bright, as if she was having a long awaited beautiful dream.
