Meili was glad for the rescue as well. It was nice to be able to leave the insanity for now. After a long day of travel, she was sure she wasn't at her best to be the center of attention. After an evening alone with her new husband, she was sure that she would be much more prepared for the feasting and meeting his friends and family.
Her maids helped her over to the bed so that she could sit before bowing and moving to the side, waiting patiently as Wen Ning removed her veil. She looked up at him and smiled, glad to see him finally so clearly after not being able to all day. "Qionglin."
And the two ladies in the room with them. She would guess that they were his sister and grandmother based on everything that he had told her. She gave them a smile as well before Wen Ning poured the wine, knowing that she would meet them properly tomorrow. She drank with him and thanked his sister and grandmother before they left, the maids bowing again and following them out. Zhelan made sure that their door was properly closed leaving them alone.
Meili gave Wen Ning another smile now that they were alone. "I have something for you," she said, standing and going to one of her boxes that had been brought in. Even though it was red like all the others, she had put a stripe of red paper across where it opened so she would know which one it was.
What she came back with was the scarf that she had shown him on their second visit. The trees did have leaves now in colors one might call jade-colored since "qiong" meant "fine jade". So it was a forest "lin" of fine jade "qiong" trees with the stylized sun for the Wen sect's symbol. And in one of the trees, there was a little snowbird sitting on one of the branches. She sat down beside him again and offered it to him.
