Chapter 323: Wedding (Finale)
And behind him stood Shen Haobai, Shen Potian and Cui Jin.
When several people saw the situation, they were all stunned.
They blinked hard and found that everything in front of them was not their imagination.
Among the few people, Shen Potian was the first to come back to his senses and coughed forcefully a few times.
It instantly alarmed Shen Ningyuan and Xie Wanzhou.
They both raised their heads and looked forward.
Shen Ningyuan only felt that everything in front of her eyes went dark again and again.
Dad, Mom, Big Brother, and Second Brother, why are you here?
Why didn't anyone come to report?
Where are the servants serving in the courtyard?
Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and Shen Ningyuan tried hard to suppress the uneasiness in his heart.
He stood up from the stairs in a hurry, and put some distance between himself and Xie Wanzhou, pretending to be unfamiliar with him.
But little did she know that her action made her attempt to cover up something even more obvious.
Xie Wanzhou felt a little sad when he saw her trying to avoid him.
Shen Potian's compelling gaze moved back and forth between the two of them, finally stopping on Xie Wanzhou.
My daughter got divorced and returned home today. She is in a very uneasy mood. It must be that Xie Wanzhou had bad intentions and deceived her.
My daughter certainly did not do anything wrong.
All of this was caused by this evil-minded person.
In a flash, Shen Potian had figured out the key to the matter.
The look he gave Xie Wanzhou was particularly unfriendly.
"General Shen, I am attracted to Miss Shen, please help me."
Xie Wanzhou did not beat around the bush and directly expressed his feelings.
Shen Potian's eyes almost popped out of his head, and he pointed at him with a trembling hand, furious.
"You...you scoundrel..."
But before he could finish his words, he heard Xie Wanzhou add.
"General Shen, I know I was rude today, but I have not done anything inappropriate. I will prepare a generous gift tomorrow and apologize."
Shen Haoyue snorted coldly, jumped out and cursed loudly.
"I treat you as a brother, but you actually have such thoughts in your mind, it's really too much!"
Chen Ningyuan heard their conversation and distanced herself from Xie Wanzhou without leaving a trace, trying to draw a line between them in this way.
But Xie Wanzhou's next words shattered all her self-deception.
"General Shen, Madam Shen, Big Brother, Second Brother, I know I was in the wrong today. I will follow the proper etiquette and rules. As early as yesterday, I informed my father that Miss Shen and I are in love, and asked for the permission to marry..."
Shen Ningyuan widened her eyes in horror and blurted out subconsciously.
"You, what did you say? A marriage of convenience? What marriage of convenience? It can't be you and me, right?"
The Shen family's eyes were all focused on Xie Wanzhou.
Everyone looked at him the same way, as if they wanted to eat him alive.
This is really too much!
Shen Ningyuan just divorced and returned home, but in the blink of an eye, this scheming man asked the emperor to grant her marriage?
this……
This really makes me wonder what to say!
Xie Wanzhou nodded calmly despite the murderous gazes from people around him.
"Father has already agreed, but the situation is special now, and the imperial decree will be issued in half a year."
The surroundings fell into deathly silence.
The Shen family was silent.
Several people looked at each other.
My brain is shutting down and I can't think at all.
They just couldn't believe that their daughter and sister had just returned home after getting divorced, and in the blink of an eye, they were going to get married again.
And this time, she married Xie Wanzhou, the crown prince.
Yes.
A few days ago, Xie Wanzhou restored his status as crown prince.
Xie Yumin was suspected of forming a clique for personal gain, secretly raising private soldiers, and participating in the crime of treason and collusion with the enemy at the An Ning Marquis' Mansion. The evidence was solid.
Now he has been demoted to a commoner, and must guard the imperial mausoleum for life and is not allowed to step out of it.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.
The marriage granted by His Majesty arrived at the General’s Mansion as scheduled.
Everyone in the general's mansion received the order and expressed their gratitude in the main hall.
Even if you are extremely reluctant and unwilling, things have already been decided and there is no possibility of changing them.
But the wedding date is set for one year later, which is enough time for an ordinary family to prepare.
However, for the prince's wedding, one year of preparation time, three letters and six engagements, all matters are still very tight.
After receiving the imperial decree granting the marriage, the palace and the General's Mansion became busy.
On the wedding day of a crown prince, naturally no one can be careless.
During these days, Xie Wanzhou would visit the general's mansion from time to time with gifts.
Since Xie Wanzhou was the crown prince, it was impossible for the general's mansion to refuse him admission.
But it’s not that warm.
Shen Potian only saw him for the sake of face.
He would even claim to be sick from time to time and ask Shen Haoyue or Shen Haobai to entertain the guests.
Shen Ningyuan tried to avoid him whenever possible and didn't want to see him too often.
Xie Wanzhou was not angry or annoyed at the cold attitude of everyone in the Shen Mansion. He kept persevering in making his presence felt to the Shen family and winning their favor.
Although during the day, Shen Ningyuan always ignored him.
But every night, Xie Wanzhou would sneak into her yard quietly.
Shen Ningyuan could do nothing about it.
Fortunately, after Xie Wanzhou's unremitting efforts, the attitude of everyone in the Shen Mansion finally improved a lot.
As they spent more time together, Shen Ningyuan's feelings for him grew deeper and deeper.
As the wedding date approached, Shen Ningyuan, who had been in a calm state of mind, was gradually infected by the atmosphere in the mansion and became nervous.
In a blink of an eye, it was the wedding day.
Before dawn, Chen Ningyuan was awakened by Yi Ge.
First, she went to the purification room to bathe, then smeared perfumed ointment all over her body, put on red wedding clothes, and sat in front of a bronze mirror to do her makeup and dressing.
During the whole process, Shen Ningyuan was like a puppet, being manipulated by others and unable to resist at all.
After finishing her makeup, she put on the phoenix crown that belonged exclusively to the Crown Princess.
It was not yet the auspicious time, but we could already hear the sound of gongs and drums outside.
Yi Ge ran in with a cheerful step and said with a smile.
"The prince is here to pick up the bride!"
Cui Jin quickly ordered someone to cover Shen Ningyuan with a red veil.
According to royal rules, when the prince gets married, Xie Wanzhou does not need to come in person to pick up the bride.
But he came anyway, which fully demonstrated how much he valued Shen Ningyuan.
After that, everything went smoothly.
After meeting the bride and bidding farewell to her parents, Shen Ningyuan rode in a sedan chair and, carrying her dowry, headed for the East Palace in a grand procession.
After a chaotic day, Shen Ningyuan sat on the wedding couch, feeling weak all over.
I was so tired that I couldn't even lift a finger.
This royal wedding is really tiring!
Compared to marrying into a marquis's mansion before, this is completely different level.
It’s beautiful, but it’s really tiring.
Xie Wanzhou walked in briskly, sat beside her, and looked at her affectionately.
"You've worked hard today. You must be tired. Go to bed early today. You still have to thank your father tomorrow."
As they were talking, Xie Wanzhou personally helped her take off the heavy phoenix crown.
"I have already asked someone to prepare the fragrant bath water. Go and take a dip to relieve your fatigue."
Shen Ningyuan naturally nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Two quarters of an hour later, Shen Ningyuan yawned and walked out of the bathroom. Seeing that water was still dripping from the end of Xie Wanzhou's hair, she raised her eyebrows slightly.
"You went to bathe, too?"
After I said this, I suddenly realized what a stupid question I had asked.
Shen Ningyuan smiled awkwardly and was about to do something to ease the embarrassment at the moment.
Then Xie Wanzhou walked towards her slowly, took her fair and tender hand, and led her to the edge of the bed.
The next moment, Xie Wanzhou embraced the girl beside him, rubbed his chin lightly on her head, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
Then he kissed her hair.
"I feel like today is just like a dream. My dream has really come true! I actually got to marry you, the girl I love!"
Shen Ningyuan's cheeks were stained with a blush, full of shyness.
Under the candlelight in the room, the two shadows snuggled together tightly, you in me and me in you.
Just like the two of them in the future, they will join hands and accompany each other for life.
