Chapter 866 Farewell (1)
“I’m here to marry you, Shen Jiaojiao.”
His tone was nonchalant, but the way he stretched out his hand was extremely serious. He was so carefree and arrogant, and treated etiquette as nothing, but it made people feel as if everything in the world had fallen silent. Only the appearance of this man was deeply engraved in people's hearts, making people unforgettable.
Everyone around fell silent.
Shen Miao was covered with a veil and could not see anything. She could only hear the sound coming from the front. She instinctively raised her head, but the next moment, she felt her hand being lifted up and something being placed on her fingertips.
She was a little dazed by the cool and gentle touch.
The people around him gasped.
Princes of all dynasties had their own rings. The rings were not just a decoration, but more importantly, a symbol of status. With this ring, they could command their subordinates at will. Of course, the royal family and nobles were known to everyone wherever they went, so they didn't need to use this ring. However, it has never been seen that the ring symbolizing the status of a prince was given to others.
This gift was not just a ring, it meant that Prince Rui had given Shen Miao the power to mobilize his subordinates at will. With Shen Miao having this ring, everyone looked at her the same way they looked at Prince Rui.
This is like giving up one's power to someone else, but the person he gave it to was a woman.
I have seen men who love their wives, but I have never seen one who loves them this much. The young ladies around were extremely envious and jealous. Although Prince Rui was wearing a mask, he was still very graceful. He was of noble status and generous. The only thing they could do to comfort themselves was that Prince Rui was so outstanding that he would naturally be surrounded by many beautiful women. Shen Miao was not a natural beauty, so she would definitely be rejected by Prince Rui soon.
Who knew that the groom would slap them in the face with facts? This was probably the first time in the world that someone doted on his wife so much.
Why is it that the Fifth Miss of the Shen family has such a good life? I wonder what good fortune she cultivated in her past life.
However, in this world, misfortune often follows blessing, and blessing often follows misfortune. People could never have imagined the things that Shen Miao had experienced in her previous life.
After Prince Rui put the ring on Shen Miao's hand, he raised his thin lips, leaned over slightly, and a kiss was imprinted on the back of Shen Miao's hand.
Shen Miao naturally guessed what the tingling sensation on the back of her hand was and couldn't help but blush. Fortunately, she was covered with a veil, so others couldn't see her embarrassment.
Prince Rui stood up straight, and Lady Mei quickly sang with a smile: "Bring in the betrothal gifts—bring in the dowry—"
After carrying the dowry, the mother will personally feed the bride sesame dumplings.
The dumplings were small, mixed with peanuts, lotus seeds, and sesame seeds, symbolizing the early birth of a son. Luo Xueyan scooped some with a small spoon. Shen Miao slightly lifted a corner of her veil and swallowed the sesame dumplings Luo Xueyan fed her. Luo Xueyan's eyes moistened: "Jiaojiao, after you get married, don't let yourself be wronged."
Shen Miao's heart also moved, and she said, "That's alright, mother."
Chen Xin turned his back and quietly wiped the tears from his eyes. He was a grown man, a general commanding countless soldiers, so it was naturally inappropriate for him to cry in front of others. However, he was very sad in his heart. He always felt that he owed a lot to Shen Miao, especially after the conversation with Xie Jingxing that day. He realized that he had always thought that they had raised Shen Miao in a greenhouse, but he didn't know that there were more snakes, insects, rats and ants in the greenhouse. During those years when no one noticed, she gradually grew up.
Before he could make amends or do anything, Shen Miao was about to get married. From a crying baby to a babbling little girl, and now to a graceful bride, Shen Xin was filled with emotion.
Chen Qiu came over and said that the bride's brothers would be responsible for carrying the bride onto the sedan chair.
