Otherwise, it would be such a glorious time now.

But it's too late to regret.

In the end, Lord Xu did not have the courage to go over, and left silently.

Did Xu Jiner think that the humiliation she suffered at the Prime Minister's Mansion was over after she sat in that shabby sedan chair?

No.

Before the sedan chair arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Steward Shen went back to report what happened in front of the Marquis' Mansion.

After learning about the situation, the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion repeatedly sighed that it was a good thing that no one had made a big fuss to bring the person over.

"Housekeeper, Madam Xu will take her to the most remote courtyard to live first." The Prime Minister's wife said.

The housekeeper was also a shrewd man who knew how to assess the situation. He originally planned to take Xu Jiner in through the side door.

Moreover, out of consideration for the Marquis's Mansion, a very nice courtyard was prepared.

It seems that those are no longer needed now. Just ask someone to carry the sedan chair to the back door, which is used by servants to bring in rice and grain from outside.

Looking at the dilapidated door where servants came in and out, Xu Jin'er, sitting in the sedan chair, held back her tears in grievance, pinched her dress, and hesitated for a while.

After looking around, there was no sign of Shen Qingci at the door, only a nanny.

"Madam Xu, you'd better get off the sedan quickly. The toilets in the mansion will be taken out for cleaning soon."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jin'er quickly asked the maid to help her get out of the sedan chair.

This time she brought a maid as a dowry. After Cuizhu passed away, she bought another personal maid.

Following the nanny in front of her, Xu Jiner felt more and more disappointed as she walked inside.

There was no festive atmosphere in the Prime Minister's Mansion. There were no lights or decorations, not even a single "happiness" character on the wall.

When Xu Jin'er saw the nanny taking her to a shabby little courtyard, her eyes widened in disbelief.

"Mammy, is this a mistake?" Xu Jin'er asked tentatively.

The nanny glanced at her with a hint of contempt in her eyes: "From now on, this will be Concubine Xu's residence. The Prime Minister's Mansion will hold a poetry gathering in a few days. The maids have gone to clean the garden. I'll trouble Concubine Xu's maid here."

After saying that, he left without even looking at Xu Jiner's ugly face.

Looking at the dilapidated gate of the courtyard, I felt extremely aggrieved.

Xu Jiner clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and calmed herself down, knowing that she couldn't be easily defeated now.

According to the rules, Shen Qingci should come to her room tonight. As long as she seduces Shen Qingci, no one in the Prime Minister's Mansion would dare to give her the cold shoulder.

"Bihe, let's go in."

Although the yard was dilapidated, it was not small. Bihe had to clean it by herself for a whole day before it looked presentable.

at night.

Xu Jin'er was wearing a small dress with a transparent gauze jacket over it, sitting by the bed waiting.

But this night, she was destined not to wait for anyone.

Half a month later.

The wedding of Li Jinchen and Xu Jinyi caused a sensation in the entire capital.

The dowry was carried out for ten miles, with people carrying it from one end of the street to the other, with no end in sight.

The streets from the Marquis' Mansion to the Prince's Mansion were all carefully paved with red carpets.

Both sides of the road were filled with soldiers maintaining order, and two palace maids holding baskets full of copper coins stood every few meters.

This will be scattered when the sedan chair passes by later.

It was such a grand wedding that almost all the people in the capital came to watch.

The marquis's mansion was decorated with lights and colorful ornaments, and Xu Jinyi wore a phoenix crown and a bridal robe.

The bright red wedding dress is like the colorful clouds in the sky. On the dress, there are small "Fu" characters embroidered with gold thread. It can be seen how much effort was put into embroidering this dress.

The belt around the waist is embroidered with delicate flowers in dark red thread. The perfect belt outlines the woman's graceful figure.

Xu Jinyi in the mirror smiled as brightly as a flower, like a bride immersed in sweetness.

Turning around, Qiuhua couldn't help but stare at the dressed-up Xu Jinyi.

Even though I follow Xu Jinyi every day, I still feel amazed every time I see her.

Looking at the bright red color all over the yard of the Marquis' Mansion, it was a world of difference compared to the shabby appearance of her wedding.

Xu Jin'er returned to the room she lived in before her wedding and pulled her hair like crazy.

"Mother, why, why is it that Xu Jinyi can win the favor of the prince? Why can she marry in such a grand manner? What about me?"

Xu Jiner came here with Shen Qingci today. Although she suffered some hardships in the Shen family's backyard in the past half month, she put in some effort and finally coaxed Shen Qingci.

Moreover, she has an elder sister who is the Crown Princess, and the Prime Minister's Mansion keeps asking her to ask Xu Jinyi for forgiveness and to behave well today.

She hated that Xu Jinyi had made her so miserable, yet she still had to beg her with a flattering face.

"Shhhhhh... My dear daughter, you really don't want to live, do you?"

"Don't say such things again in the future. You've heard how much the Crown Prince favors Xu Jinyi now. We can't afford to offend her."

Now Aunt Wang has to keep a low profile at home.

I was afraid that I would accidentally upset Xu Jinyi.

Hearing the sound of drums and gongs outside, he knew that the prince was about to arrive.

The two of them quickly packed up and prepared to go out.

Riding on a horse, Li Jinchen, dressed in red, looked at the Marquis' Mansion that was about to arrive. For the first time in his life, Li Jinchen understood what nervousness was, and even sweat broke out on his palms.

However, Bai Mo, who was standing next to him, had sharp eyes and noticed the unnatural look on Li Jinchen's face.

"Master, are you nervous?" Bai Mo seemed to have discovered a new world.

Li Jinchen gave him a sharp look.

Lord Xu, Aunt Wang, Xu Jin'er, Shen Qingci and others were standing at the door waiting.

From a distance, a huge team was seen appearing. Li Jinchen was wearing a dark red four-clawed python robe, with his hair tied up and fixed with a red brocade jade crown. His angular facial features, cold and thin lips, and a pair of narrow and long phoenix eyes made him look as charming as a demon.

He exudes a noble aura.

Looking at such a handsome man, Xu Jin'er couldn't help but compare him with Shen Qingci.

The more he compared, the more dissatisfied he became with Shen Qingci, and he even secretly pinched Shen Qingci twice.

Shen Qingci stepped back in pain, not knowing what was wrong with her.

No one in the Marquis' Mansion dared to stop the prince, so Li Jinchen had no trouble reaching Xu Jinyi's room.

Looking at Xu Jinyi, who was wearing the same dress and a bright red mandarin duck veil, Li Jinchen pursed his lips and felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart.

Xu Jinyi didn't have a brother, so when she went out, she should have been carried into the sedan chair by the matchmaker.

Li Jinchen bent down as he walked in front of Xu Jinyi.

There was an uproar from the crowd.

It seems that the prince really dotes on the princess and is willing to bow down for her and lower his noble head.

Lord Xu never expected that his unloved daughter would have such a fate, and he felt very regretful.

Looking at Aunt Wang, he began to feel a little dissatisfied.

Aunt Xu, Qiuhua and Qiuli were also dressed festively. They were the dowry that Xu Jinyi took away.

Qiuli was a first-class maid who was hired later.
