"Congratulations to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess on your long and happy marriage."
"Hahaha, it's my turn, it's my turn! The Duke's mansion is so generous, inviting us to a banquet. Thank you so much! I wish the newlyweds a loving and harmonious marriage."
"..."
The people lined up at the gate, reciting congratulatory words to the gatekeepers of the Duke's mansion. After they finished speaking, they were given a wedding cake to eat at the banquet.
Xiao Wanwan lay on Shi Zai Ren's body, craning her neck to look ahead.
After a stick of incense had burned, it was finally their turn.
Just as Shi Zairen was about to speak, Xiao Wanwan rushed ahead of him, "Brother, you've worked hard, remember to eat well!"
Xiao Wanwan is adept at manipulating people's hearts.
The gatekeeper had been busy with the affairs of the manor since yesterday afternoon. He was so busy that he was dizzy, and he was also scolded by the masters.
He was already full of grievances, and now he was standing at the door facing this group of people on an empty stomach.
Hearing someone care about him, his eyes instantly welled up with tears.
"Thank you... thank you, young lady."
"Brother, you're welcome, don't be shy, have fun! Hehe, may I go in now?"
The servant was taken aback, then reached out and wiped away his tears. "Yes, you can go in now. Go in quickly."
Xiao Wanwan, seeing that things had gone smoothly, waved her little hands happily, pulling on the left and right sides. Finally, the group entered the Duke's mansion without any problems.
Shi Zai Ren exclaimed, "As expected of the young princess, nothing you fail to accomplish!"
"I really didn't want to offer my blessings after how the Situ family treated me yesterday. Luckily, you were here."
Hehe~
[Time for the feast!]
Many dignitaries and nobles were waiting to offer their congratulations at the Duke's mansion. The guests were all smiles and delighted with the wedding banquet.
Xiao Wanwan looked at the luxurious mansion, interested in everything, and was just short of rushing inside.
If Yao Qianshu hadn't been holding her back, anyone who didn't know better would have thought she was a beggar who had just wandered in from somewhere.
"Haha, today the Duke's mansion is doubly blessed, with one getting married and the other taking a wedding. I am so happy for you both."
"Your Majesty, thank you for coming to attend Chengze's happy occasion today. Please move to the banquet."
"good!"
At the banquet, the emperor, who was about forty years old, sat in the main seat wearing a dragon robe. He had a faint smile on his face, and the Duke of Gongzhuang personally poured tea for the Canglang Emperor.
"Your Majesty, please."
"good!"
Just as everyone was enjoying their meal, Xiao Wanwan was itching to climb onto the table and devour the braised pork knuckle.
The bride suddenly appeared at the banquet, still wearing the same wedding dress she had worn during the wedding ceremony.
However, the red and white veil on her head had already been lifted.
Duke Zhuang was taken aback, then immediately stood up. "Situ Xianjing, why aren't you waiting for Chengze in the bridal chamber? What are you doing here?"
According to the wedding ceremony and customs, the bride must wait in the bridal chamber for the groom to lift her veil.
But Situ Xianjing not only didn't wait for her husband, she also left the bridal chamber in Dongang.
According to the etiquette of the Canglang Kingdom, leaving the bridal chamber is considered bad luck for the family!
The Duke's family places great importance on feng shui, and the fact that the bride is breaking the rules like this has made the hosts' faces darken.
“Father-in-law, this is so unreasonable! Everyone says that after the wedding ceremony, the husband should lift the veil, but I have been waiting for more than an hour and my husband still hasn’t come.”
"Your daughter-in-law has only come to find her husband. If you treat her like this, people who don't know better will think she's a maid!"
Situ Xian stood there coldly, completely disregarding the presence of the Azure Wolf Emperor.
"How dare you! Your husband is merely entertaining guests here, as has always been the case. Why would you need to come looking for him?"
Seeing that her husband was about to get angry, Madam Zhuang quickly got up to smooth things over, "My lord, please don't be angry, let me handle this."
"Xianjing, you should go back first. There are many men around here. Be careful not to make a fool of yourself."
joke?
When she entered the room, her husband abandoned her and rushed in. Wasn't that a huge joke?
“Mother-in-law, you’re not right about that.”
"It's your son who's making a fool of himself. He just walked in and took his wife off and came in by himself. If your son isn't afraid of making a fool of himself, why should your daughter-in-law be afraid?"
"you--"
Madam Zhuang was furious that her daughter-in-law, who had only been married for less than two hours, was so assertive. Her face turned pale with anger.
She glanced at the guests watching the show, took a deep breath, and said, "Good child, if Chengze doesn't do well, I, as his mother, will talk to him properly."
"Your wedding is the most important thing right now. There are many guests here, and your husband probably won't be able to go back for a while. Why don't you go back and have something to eat while you wait for her?"
Situ Xianjing looked at Madam Zhuang, who was clearly protecting her own in her words, and sneered.
"They say a woman should follow her husband wherever he goes, whether he's a chicken or a dog. My husband is so busy, so as his wife, I naturally can't let him work so hard."
She walked to the side of the Azure Wolf Emperor, picked up a cup of tea and raised it, saying, "Come on, today I, the princess, will join my husband in entertaining everyone. Please eat and drink well, so you don't go back hungry."
After saying that, she forcefully put down her teacup, sat down beside them, and began to eat by herself.
The Azure Wolf Emperor, seated in the main seat, had a livid face.
Although this is a family matter of the Duke of Zhuang, this marriage was bestowed by him, and he, the emperor, is still here. How dare she be so unreasonable!
It seems the Situ family is becoming increasingly demanding.
"Your Majesty, please don't take offense." Duke Zhuang clenched his fists at the table, seemingly trembling all over.
Zhuang Chengze gave him a cold glance and said sternly, "Go back after you finish eating. I'll be there in a bit."
