Behind the groom, the bride sat in a luxurious red and white sedan chair.
The bride wore a matching red and white wedding dress, and the phoenix hair ornament on her head highlighted her extraordinary status.
Beneath the red and white veil was her face, her eyes red, and her hand holding a white fan rested motionless on her knee.
Hearing the music playing outside, Situ Xianjing ripped off her veil, took a deep breath, threw the veil aside, and then lifted the curtain to look outside.
The maidservant who accompanied the bride saw this and was so frightened that she immediately spoke up to stop her.
"Princess, why did you lose your veil? Put it back on quickly, it's bad luck..."
"What's the point of wishing for good fortune? It's been unlucky ever since I married into this family, so why bother with this?"
"Princess, the Prime Minister will be angry if he finds out."
The mere mention of the Prime Minister infuriated Situ Xianjing.
Yesterday, the Crown Prince summoned the father and daughter to the palace, hoping to tell His Majesty that she had taken a liking to the young man from yesterday.
No sooner had she entered the palace than His Majesty happily pulled her father aside and said, "The eldest son of the Duke's family has returned from the border. He is a man of noble character and a rare find."
Without saying a word, he directly arranged their marriage.
She immediately refuted His Majesty, saying that she already had someone she loved.
Upon learning that it was the same boy from yesterday, his father turned pale with anger.
His Majesty then subtly hinted that their disagreement stemmed from his decision and whether they wanted to become the Crown Princess.
Doesn't this imply that their family harbors rebellious intentions?
Her father dared not slack off and immediately agreed to the marriage.
No sooner had he agreed than His Majesty declared that the next day would be the most auspicious day in the next three years. Under pressure from His Majesty, his father had no choice but to agree.
In half a day and a night, the Situ family and the Duke of Zhuang's mansion had completed all the betrothal and marriage arrangements, which made her so angry that she didn't sleep all night.
Afterwards, her maidservant did her makeup, and she was helped into the bridal sedan chair by the matchmaker in a daze.
Thinking of this, she clenched her fists tightly.
The image of the boy I saw yesterday involuntarily surfaced in my mind, making me grit my teeth in hatred.
She angrily pulled the curtain down.
Xiao Rui'an carried Xiao Wanwan and followed behind the group. Xiao Wanwan's inner thoughts never stopped the whole way, making his ears ring incessantly.
[Welcoming the bride?]
[Brother Qian Shu is indeed a fool; this is clearly a funeral.]
[Hehe, we're having a lavish feast! The Situ family's funeral is quite grand.]
This is the first time I've ever seen someone so joyful at a funeral.
Could it be that the dead are wicked?
Xiao Wanwan reached out, bent down, and patted Yao Qianshu, asking with a grin, "Brother Qianshu, who died in the Situ family?"
"Let's go to the feast later to comfort them."
Yao Qianshu looked at the scene, which was exactly the same as the funeral in the Holy Kingdom, with the wedding procession dressed in white, white gongs and drums, white flags, and the music that was only used for funerals in the Holy Kingdom.
For a moment, he didn't know how to explain it to Xiao Wanwan.
“I’m not going,” Yao Qianshu refused outright.
Asking who died?
He's probably the one who'll die in the next second!
He wasn't foolish enough to ask.
"Hey, ma'am, why do you treat your happy occasions like funerals?" he turned to ask the ma'am who was sitting next to them.
The old woman's smile gradually froze, and in the blink of an eye, she rolled her eyes.
"I said, white symbolizes purity and nobility. Looking at all the major countries, which one doesn't use white for weddings?"
"It's obvious your mother never taught you anything. You're pathetic; you don't even understand the most basic things about the Canglang Kingdom."
"What are you saying? I saw your family just held a funeral..."
Seeing that her aunt seemed to be getting angry, Xiao Wanwan immediately smiled and tried to appease her, "Oh, Auntie, don't be angry. He's my silly brother."
The old woman glared at Yao Qianshu with displeasure, then glanced at Xiao Wanwan out of the corner of her eye.
Seeing her chubby, adorable appearance, she immediately forgot what had just happened, and beamed, saying, "Oh, what a cute little girl!"
Xiao Wanwan winked at her.
"Hehe, thank you, Auntie!"
"May I eat at their banquet?"
The old woman paused for a moment, "A hard seat?"
Then he smiled and said, "Sure, sure, this wedding banquet is full of delicacies, it won't be hard."
"The Situ family is very generous; anyone who goes to offer their congratulations at the wedding banquet will be able to enjoy a table at the table."
"But we have to give a gift of money, right?" The little guy was already calculating in his mind.
"No need, no need. The Situ family is very wealthy. His Majesty even contributed a lot of money to this wedding banquet. Why would we commoners accept our money?"
"Hehe, thank you, Auntie."
"You're welcome……"
The old woman happily hurried after the wedding procession, and before leaving, she pointed at Yao Qianshu with her delicate pinky finger in dissatisfaction.
“Fool, let me tell you, you can’t say anything discouraging when you go to a banquet, or if Prime Minister Situ hears you, you’ll suffer a lot.”
Yao Qianshu: "..."
The Duke's mansion is very large.
The tables and chairs for the banquet have been set up at the entrance.
After the wedding procession stopped at the gate, the groom jumped off the carriage and went straight in, without giving a second thought to the bride under the sedan chair.
After giving an awkward laugh, the midwife began to say auspicious words.
The crowds, naturally unaware of what was happening, offered their blessings with ever-louder voices.
Inside the bridal sedan chair, Situ Xianjing's fingers, gripping the bridal veil, turned white, and she almost bit her back teeth out.
You duke's mansion, how dare you neglect her!
"Congratulations to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess on their happy marriage."
