Chapter 1164 Obsessed
The ministers' faces turned pale in an instant, as if they had seen a ghost.
The butterfly jade pendant was specially awarded by the emperor to commend their "loyalty".
The shape of the jade pendant is exactly the same as the scar on Xiao Feng's wrist!
"This... this is just a coincidence!"
A minister stammered in his defense, with beads of sweat the size of beans oozing out of his forehead.
"coincide?"
Jiang Xue sneered and took out a broken jade pendant from her sleeve. It was the fragment of the butterfly jade pendant.
"This was found in Xiao Feng's tent. I wonder if any lord can explain why there are fragments of the jade pendant given by the emperor in the tent of the enemy commander?"
Now, the ministers could no longer argue. They looked at each other in bewilderment.
"You...you are slandering me!" A minister pointed at Jiang Xue and shouted in a timid tone.
"Yeah?"
Jiang Xue took out another letter from her sleeve without any hurry. It was the secret letter between Xiao Feng and these ministers. It recorded in detail the details of their collusion and even their plan to assassinate the emperor.
When this letter came out, it was like a bolt from the blue, completely shattering the ministers' last hopes.
They could no longer hide their crimes, and they collapsed to the ground like deflated balls.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty! I was confused for a moment and was deceived by the traitor."
"Your Majesty, please spare my life! I was just bewildered for a moment!"
The ministers knelt down and begged for mercy, and the hall was in chaos.
The emperor was furious. He slammed the throne and shouted, "Come here! Take down all these traitors!"
The Royal Guards immediately rushed forward and took all the ministers away.
In the hall, only Jiang Xue, Xiao Zhan, and the shocked emperor were left.
"Master Prime Minister, Princess, you have worked hard."
The emperor's voice was filled with fatigue and gratitude: "Thanks to you, these treacherous officials were brought to justice and our Great Yan was saved."
Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan looked at each other, their hearts filled with relief.
They knew that although the battle was difficult, it would eventually be won.
"Your Majesty, I have another favor to ask of you." Xiao Zhan suddenly said.
"Oh? What's the matter, Prime Minister?" asked the emperor.
Xiao Zhan took a deep breath, his eyes firm: "I want to give the princess a real wedding, please grant me your permission, Your Majesty."
The emperor was slightly stunned, then burst into laughter: "Good! Good! I approve! Let's choose a date for the wedding!"
Jiang Xue's cheeks flushed slightly, and her heart was filled with sweetness and happiness.
She knew that her story with Xiao Zhan had just begun!
"Xiaoxue, I can't wait any longer." Xiao Zhan whispered in her ear, his eyes flashing with a fiery light.
The two returned to the princess's mansion hand in hand, but what greeted them was a chaotic wedding preparation.
The palace was decorated with lights and lanterns, and the servants were all busy and cheerful. Even the air seemed to be filled with a lively and festive atmosphere.
However, the wedding master of ceremonies seemed out of place in this festive ocean, standing in the hall where the wedding was to be held with a stern and serious expression.
The emcee is known for his adherence to tradition and meticulousness.
He held a thick "Wedding Manual" in his hand, shaking his head and reciting various red tape, from the process of ancestor worship to the posture of the newlyweds, every detail was stipulated one by one.
"Your Highness, this Phoenix Coronet and Bridal Gown must be worn at an auspicious time. It must not be worn beforehand, otherwise it will be unlucky!"
The emcee's voice was shrill and high-pitched, like the crowing of an old hen, and it made Jiang Xue's scalp tingle.
Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan had just experienced a thrilling court struggle and were exhausted both physically and mentally. They just wanted to have a good rest, but they were dizzy with the cumbersome etiquette.
"Master Master of Ceremonies, can these etiquettes be simplified?"
Xiao Zhan rubbed his eyebrows, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"You absolutely cannot do that, Prime Minister! This is a rule passed down by our ancestors, and we cannot be careless at all!"
When the MC heard this, he immediately jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on: "If you break the rules, you will be punished by God!"
Xiao Zhan looked at Jiang Xue helplessly, and the two exchanged a look that said "baby is feeling sad, but baby won't say it".
After finally dealing with the master of ceremonies, the old ancestor of the princess's mansion came to "make trouble" again.
Although the old ancestor no longer doubted Jiang Xue's identity, he still deliberately raised some difficult questions in order to test her one last time.
"Princess, the wedding cakes must be made by you yourself to show your sincerity."
The old ancestor said with a smile, his tone sounded amiable but contained a mystery.
Jiang Xue secretly groaned in her heart, how could she make wedding cakes?
She had lived a life of luxury since her childhood, and had never done housework. Not to mention making wedding cakes, she had rarely even been to the kitchen.
"Grandfather, Xiaoxue knows nothing about cooking."
Jiang Xue said this with gritted teeth, praying in her heart that the ancestors would be flexible.
"You can learn if you don't know! The chefs in the palace are all top-notch experts. You can ask them for advice."
The ancestor was unmoved and pushed Jiang Xue into the kitchen with a smile.
In the kitchen, there was steam rising and the aroma of various ingredients mixed together, making Jiang Xue feel a little dizzy.
She followed the cook in a hurry to learn how to make wedding cakes. She was covered with flour and looked like a little cat.
Just when the wedding preparations were in full swing, the wedding host discovered a new problem.
"Oh my! This is unbelievable! This is unbelievable!"
The master of ceremonies suddenly exclaimed, his face pale: "There is a stitch missing from the embroidery on this wedding dress! This is a big taboo!"
Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan were about to collapse. This wedding dress was a gift from the emperor and was priceless. But now it had to be remade just because one stitch of embroidery was missing. There was simply no time left!
"Master Master of Ceremonies, can you think of other solutions?" Xiao Zhan suppressed his anger and asked as calmly as possible.
"There is no other way! It must be re-embroidered!" the emcee said firmly, his tone leaving no room for doubt.
In desperation, Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan could only ask people to make new wedding dresses overnight. Time became more urgent, and the already heavy task became even more difficult.
Jiang Xue looked at the mountain of tasks in front of her, took a deep breath, and a gleam of determination flashed in her eyes.
"Someone, go get ..."
Jiang Xue took a deep breath and said, "Someone, go and get the best embroiderer in the capital and tell her that the princess has something urgent to ask of her!"
The embroiderer arrived quickly and gasped when she saw the missing stitch on the wedding dress.
Time was running out, so the embroiderer did not dare to delay and started mending the work immediately.
Jiang Xue watched quietly from the side, her eyes focused, as if she was appreciating a piece of work of art.
"Your Highness, the color of this thread is slightly different from the original one. I'm afraid..." the embroiderer said with some concern.
Jiang Xue smiled slightly, picked up a piece of gold thread, and lightly drew a few strokes on the place that the embroiderer had repaired.
"In this way, not only can no traces of repair be seen, but it also adds a bit of nobility."
