Chapter 1017: I have no intention of marrying into a rich family
"You can't do that on your wedding day."
Mrs. Chu's face was dark. Considering Jiang Wan's identity, she could only say:
"Princess, everyone in Kyoto knows this custom. When the ceremony begins, it's best for you to stay away."
"mother!"
Chu Qi interrupted her angrily, "You're going too far. I don't care about this at all."
"I'm your mother. I care."
Madam Chu said mysteriously, "Two happy events are likely to conflict with each other, especially since the princess is still in your new house.
Fortunately, I didn’t sit on your new bed, otherwise…”
"Qiqi, I'm going to go out and get some fresh air."
Jiang Wan didn't want to argue with Mrs. Chu. After all, today was a good day for Chu Qi and Song Jiuchi.
Besides, Mrs. Song had never told her about this custom, so she thought they wouldn't mind even if it existed.
“Sister-in-law…”
Chu Qi wanted to keep Jiang Wan, but Mrs. Chu immediately said, "Silly girl, this is all for your own good."
"Why didn't I see you doing good for me before?"
Chu Qi's voice was nasal, and she was obviously angry, but Jiang Wan had already left the house, and there were guests bustling outside.
Mrs. Song and Song Qing were very busy, one was receiving female guests and the other was receiving male guests.
If Jiang Wan wasn't pregnant, Madam Song would be afraid of tiring her out and of others accidentally bumping into her, so Jiang Wan should have followed to entertain the guests.
Song Jiuyuan and Song Jiuchi were also very busy, and Qiu Niang said angrily: "Princess, there is also such a custom in my hometown.
It's not because of anything else, but because they are afraid that too many guests might accidentally bump into a pregnant woman, but as long as the host doesn't mind, it's usually fine."
"That's all."
Jiang Wan smiled and said, "Today is a good day for Qiqi and Jiuchi, don't spoil everyone's fun."
She strolled in the garden of the palace. Mrs. Song was very leisurely and elegant, and planted many flowers in the garden.
At this time of year, the flowers are in full bloom and look particularly beautiful.
Just as Jiang Wan was admiring the flowers, she vaguely heard two people lowering their voices behind the rockery.
"Mother, are you sure the princess won't be here today?"
"She is pregnant, and she must love the baby in her belly. As long as you are willing to take the risk, being a concubine in the palace is better than singing an opera."
"But I don't dare. At least I won't starve to death if I sing opera. What if I fail to climb into bed and get beaten to death?"
"Why are you so disappointing? If you had married into the palace, would your father and I have to work so hard to follow the troupe around and perform operas?"
“…”
It seemed that there was a mother and daughter behind the rockery. Jiang Wan walked in slowly and saw the mother and daughter in costumes arguing in a low voice.
"presumptuous!"
Qiu Niang's tender voice frightened the mother and daughter so much that they trembled slightly. When they turned around, they met Jiang Wan's half-smile.
"you……"
The mother was so frightened that her legs went weak. Qiu Niang sneered, "Why, weren't you talking about the princess just now?"
"Am I ugly?"
Jiang Wan's lips curled slightly, "Do you really need to stare at me like you've seen a ghost?"
"Princess, I know I was wrong!"
Madam Meng was so frightened that she fell to her knees in front of Jiang Wan and grabbed the dumbfounded Xiaoxiao.
"Xiaoxiao, kneel down quickly."
"Princess, I know I was wrong."
Xiaoxiao knelt in front of Jiang Wan, lowered her head and dared not speak, although she had no intention of listening to her mother.
After all, talking about people behind their backs.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Wan raised her hand and gently stroked the flowers in front of her, then suddenly looked at Madam Meng, "Who do you think is prettier, me or these flowers?"
"Of course the princess is pretty."
Madam Meng was shaking like a sieve and glared at Xiaoxiao in annoyance.
It’s all because of this damn girl who refuses to listen, otherwise she wouldn’t have found every opportunity to persuade her.
"Do you think your daughter is prettier than me, and therefore can steal my girl away?"
Jiang Wan's casual words scared the mother and daughter half to death, and they all opened their eyes wide.
“I don’t dare!”
"I am not worthy to be compared with the princess!"
Xiaoxiao kowtowed repeatedly, "My mother is just wishful thinking. I have no intention of marrying into a rich family!"
She was afraid that Jiang Wan would be angry, so she deliberately expressed her opinion. She thought Jiang Wan would definitely not let them go, but she didn't expect Jiang Wan to say:
"If you have the ability to snatch the prince away, I will give him to you."
Firstly, it’s because of her confidence, and secondly, she doesn’t care about anything that can be stolen.
"I dare not!"
Xiaoxiao's voice trembled, and Madam Meng beside her also said in annoyance: "It was I who dared.
Don't worry, Princess. I won't do anything reckless."
"Princess, they are from the troupe that we invited to perform."
Qiu Niang explained quietly, "It's too late to replace someone now."
"Go and prepare to perform. If the performance satisfies me, I will pretend that I never passed by."
Jiang Wan's subtext is that if they are not satisfied, they will suffer the consequences.
It was also the first time that Madam Meng looked directly at the princess's face, so she dared not have any other dirty thoughts.
"Yes, princess."
She ran away tumbling and crawling, almost forgetting about her daughter who was still kneeling there.
"Princess, I dare not marry someone so high."
Xiaoxiao was much calmer. She slowly stood up and walked away backwards.
Staring at their backs, Qiu Niang said angrily: “It seems that the princess has been away from Jiuzhou for some time.
They have forgotten how the prince treated those who climbed into bed. "
"They are just some clowns. If you really take them seriously, that would be what they want."
There was no sign of joy on Jiang Wan's face. She took out fish feed and sat in the pavilion to feed the fish.
Qiu Niang listened to the noise in the front hall and reminded, "Princess, it should be almost the auspicious time."
“No hurry.”
Mrs. Chu didn't welcome her to go, and Jiang Wan didn't want to go and offend others.
"Princess, the Second Young Master's wife said that she will not go to the wedding ceremony unless you go."
A maid came hurriedly. She looked familiar and seemed to be someone from Madam Song's courtyard.
Jiang Wan then put down the fish food, smiling helplessly, "Qiqi, this silly girl.
Her lifelong event is much more important than mine, hurry up."
"Princess, slow down."
Qiu Niang was afraid that something might happen to Jiang Wan, so she hurried forward to support her. Afraid of missing the auspicious time, Jiang Wan walked very quickly.
Fortunately, there is still time, the auspicious time has not yet arrived.
"My wife."
Song Jiuyuan saw that she was breathing slightly, with worry in his eyes, and Jiang Wan smiled at him.
"Why hasn't it started yet?"
She ignored everyone's surprised looks and looked straight at Chu Qi under the veil.
As for the parents of both parties sitting there, Mrs. Chu's face did not look good.
However, she could not be presumptuous in front of Mr. Chu.
Mr. Chu smiled and said to the person presiding over the wedding: "Everyone is here, let's get started."
Bow to heaven and earth.
Bow twice to your parents.
The couple bowed to each other.
Sent into the bridal chamber.
The hall was filled with joy and bustle, and everyone's face was filled with happiness.
Song Jiuchi finally got his beauty back and smiled like a fool. Chu Qi was supported and prepared to be sent to the bridal chamber.
Just at this moment, the sound of a piano rang out. Jiang Wan was still a little confused, but Song Jiuyuan's expression changed.
"Song Yi, protect the princess!"
