On the bluestone-paved street, Chi Mu was wearing a bright red robe, his black hair tied up with a jade crown, and his smile was bright and flamboyant, completely different from his usual coldness.
He rode forward on a tall horse, followed by guards in uniform black clothes, looking mighty and majestic.
These guards also changed their usual cold demeanor and spent money along the way, just to pray for Chi Mu to have a happy marriage and a long-lasting marriage.
Chi Mu didn't feel awkward at all wearing the big red flower on his chest. Instead, he was very happy.
He was finally going to marry the girl he loved.
The common people along the way received the reward money and congratulated him one by one: "I wish the prince a happy wedding, a long-lasting marriage, and a happy and blissful marriage."
"The prince and princess love each other deeply, and they will surely have a son soon."
Chi Mu couldn't suppress the smile on his face and responded to the people.
"Thank you for your congratulations, and I hope you are also happy, safe and healthy."
After Chi Mu walked past, the people couldn't help but sigh: "Is this still the cold-faced prince? He looks too gentle."
"He just talked to me, and I got a reward of one or two taels of silver!!"
…
The wedding procession stopped at the gate. Chi Mu dismounted, strode into the courtyard with his head held high, and headed straight for the courtyard where Shen Yuerong was.
The corridors were decorated with red lights all along the way, making it quite lively. However, when it came to the entrance of Shen Yuerong's courtyard, the door was closed and the surroundings were extremely quiet.
Chi Mu didn't care. He just went forward and knocked on the door, while instructing his men to be prepared for the response.
After all, when a couple gets married, there is always the practice of blocking the door.
But as soon as he knocked on the door, it creaked open by itself, and there was no one in the yard.
When the wind blew, the red cloth hanging under the corridor fell down, which was quite strange.
Chi Mu frowned slightly, and many people followed him to watch the fun.
As soon as he stepped onto the steps, a palace maid rushed out and knelt down at the door.
"Your Highness, please wait a moment. The princess is resting now. She will finish her makeup soon."
Chi Mu took a step forward, and the palace maid kowtowed and exclaimed in fear.
"Your Majesty, please don't push the door open. There is absolutely nothing ridiculous going on inside."
Her words were like trying to cover up the truth, and everyone present noticed that something was wrong.
This palace maid was so stupid that she let the cat out of the bag. It seemed that something unspeakable was going on in the room.
Chi Mu's expression suddenly darkened and he shot a sharp look at the palace maid.
"Nonsense, today is a good day for the prince to marry, don't wrongly accuse the princess here."
The palace maid lay on the ground, not daring to move, but just screamed loudly.
"I know nothing. The princess definitely didn't ask any man to come in!"
As soon as she finished speaking, indescribable noises came from across the door of the wing room, echoing in the huge courtyard.
Fu Hengyu in the crowd curled his lips and sneered, asking loudly on purpose.
"Your Highness, what's going on here? Why haven't you opened the door yet when the wedding procession has arrived? I heard there's a man with her. Could it be that the princess is still inseparable from her adulterer before getting married?"
"But it's true. If the prince could get entangled with Shen Yuerong at the beginning, then she can get entangled with others now. She was born to be such a dissolute person."
When everyone heard this, Chi Mu's face darkened, and even the red color on his body became a little darker.
Chi Mu said nothing, but the young men from the capital's high-ranking officials who came to welcome the bride couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Oh my god, Shen Yuerong is such an unfaithful woman. Isn't this a big green hat on the prince's head?"
"If my newlywed wife behaved like this, I would have killed her on the spot and put her in a pig cage! It's really disgraceful."
Fu Hengyu hid in the crowd with a sneer on his face.
If Shen Yuerong dares to betray me, she will have to pay the price for her past actions!
He is not someone who can be easily provoked and bullied.
Chi Mu just replied in a cold tone: "I believe Rong'er will not do such a thing."
Just then, a figure led the guards into the courtyard.
He is Lord Huo Qi, the Emperor's Grand Tutor. He has always been upright and incorruptible, and has always been known as a gentleman. He is now only forty years old.
Master Huo scolded him coldly.
"Chen Yuerong is simply absurd. She has brought disgrace upon her family of divine doctors. We will definitely report this to the imperial court. However, according to the law, any woman caught having affairs with others will be thrown into a pig cage."
Master Huo stood there and looked into Chi Mu's eyes, his expression dark and unclear.
"Your Majesty, I am doing this for your own good. A shameless person like Shen Yuerong must not marry you. She will ruin your reputation for the rest of your life."
Chi Mu pursed his lips tightly and just responded with one sentence.
"I believe Rong'er."
When everyone heard this, they just felt that Chi Mu was forcing himself and said this just to save face.
Master Huo waved his hand and snorted coldly.
"If the prince does not want to admit it, then I will help you make the decision!"
“Someone, kick the door and arrest this shameless woman, Shen Yuerong!”
Just then, a clear and pleasant voice came from the direction of the courtyard gate.
"What are you doing here? It would be bad if you miss the auspicious time."
Hearing this, everyone turned and looked towards the gate of the courtyard.
Shen Yuerong, wearing a phoenix coronet and a red veil, was standing there intact.
"Your Highness, what are you all doing in this courtyard? The courtyard next door is where the bride is being received."
Seeing this, Chi Mu gave a half-smile and quietly waved his hand to signal Fang Mu to take the palace maid away.
The first time he saw the palace maid, he recognized it as Taohua in disguise and knew what Shen Yuerong was planning.
So he simply cooperated.
His dark pupils were filled with smiles, "It was just a misunderstanding just now."
But Fu Hengyu did not give up. Seeing Shen Yuerong wearing a red veil, he hurriedly questioned her.
"Unless you take off the veil, I won't believe it."
He stepped forward and was about to lift up Shen Yuerong's red veil.
Seeing this, Chi Mu's momentum dropped. He raised his hand, picked up Fu Hengyu and pulled him back, then landed a powerful palm on his chest.
"Today is the day of my wedding. General Fu is being too rude."
Fu Hengyu covered his chest and took a few steps back, his eyes still sinister.
"You are scared. The person standing here must not be Shen Yuerong! She is hanging out with someone in the room right now!"
Chi Mu sneered, picked up Fu Hengyu with one hand and kicked the door open.
"If you want to know if the person inside is Rong'er, you can find out if you go in and take a look!"
Fu Hengyu was thrown into the dim room. He staggered and lifted the curtain. When he saw everything clearly, he was immediately shocked.
He turned around and hurried out of the room, even wanting to close the door.
"Misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding."
Seeing this, Master Huo became puzzled. He pushed away the distraught Fu Hengyu and strode aside the curtain.
"General Fu is afraid of the prince's power and threats, but I am not!"
