Chapter 184 The Crown Prince's Wedding
A few days passed in a flash!
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of Helian Chen and Yun Wei's wedding.
The streets of the capital were already decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and it was very festive. In order to avoid any problems, small vendors on both sides of the wedding route were not allowed to set up stalls for three days.
On the day of the wedding, the imperial guards were sent to surround the several routes leading to the wedding.
The prince's wedding is a state affair, and the etiquette is tedious and complicated.
On the day of the wedding, the capital was crowded with people, many of whom wanted to see the grand scene.
Yun Li naturally had no interest in watching the ceremony. She slept until she woke up naturally and had a leisurely breakfast and lunch. Her brother and mother lived in the palace, so she didn't even have to take care of her two children. There were people vying for care anyway, and she had to wait in line to hold the children.
For her, she is very happy and at ease. She is so happy these days.
She, Helian Chi, and her brother planned to wait until Helian Chen and Yun Wei finished their wedding ceremony before going to the Prince's Mansion. It would be too early to go anyway, and the Prince's Mansion was a place of trouble, and she would feel uncomfortable if she went there.
Yun Li spent the whole afternoon in the backyard of the palace drinking tea and watching her brother and Helian Chi playing chess.
During this time, the secret guards sent a message, and Helian Chi took the time to give a few instructions until the secret guards said that the guests of the Prince's Mansion had almost arrived and the wedding ceremony had begun. Only then did they stop what they were doing and slowly got on the carriage to the Prince's Mansion that had been waiting at the gate of the palace.
The Crown Prince Helian Chifa's wedding was attended by all the officials above the third rank in the court, along with their families, as well as the princes and envoys from various countries.
Therefore, at this time, the gate of the Prince's Mansion was crowded with carriages and guests.
The guards were clearing the way ahead. Helian Chi was holding Yun Li's hand, and on the right was the Third Prince of Yu Country. The three of them walked into the Prince's Mansion unimpeded amidst the envious gazes of the crowd.
The official of the Prince's Mansion hurriedly put down his work and came out to greet
"This old servant pays homage to His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Princess, and His Royal Highness the Third Prince! There are private lounges inside. Your Highnesses may take a seat and rest for a while!"
Yun Li said lightly: "Get up!"
He turned around and signaled the guards behind him to bring a box to the front, then said to the butler: "This is a gift from Prince Yu and I to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Yun. Please accept it on behalf of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"This old servant thanks Princess Mingxi and His Royal Highness the Prince on behalf of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The butler accepted the thank you gift. The box was a bit heavy and the butler almost couldn't catch it in his arms.
Passersby on both sides looked sideways, wondering what gifts His Royal Highness the Prince and Princess Mingxi had given His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. They looked quite heavy, so they must have been priceless.
The discussion behind her reached Yun Li's ears, and she unconsciously raised the corners of her lips, with an intriguing expression on her face!
Isn't it? It's really a good thing! And it matches Helian Chen very well!
Even Yu Wenting couldn't help but come up and ask, "Little sister, I'm curious about what gift you prepared for the prince?"
Looking at the people around, they walked towards the less crowded area ahead. Yun Li covered her mouth with her hand and whispered a few words to Yu Wen Ting. Then she raised her eyebrows and asked:
"Brother, what do you think of my gift? Is it a surprise?"
"Haha! It's indeed a surprise. I'm sure His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will like it after seeing it!"
Yun Li suppressed her smile and nodded repeatedly
No one could have imagined that Yun Li actually gave a turtle as a gift, and it was a live turtle!
As the saying goes, a thousand-year-old tortoise lives for ten thousand years. She thinks Helian Chen and the image of the tortoise are very similar! After all, they are both bastards.
Last time, I blackmailed Helian Chen for one hundred thousand taels of gold. I should at least pay him back a little bit. The main point is that it is not very harmful but extremely insulting!
Yun Li was really looking forward to Helian Chen’s expression when he saw this gift!
…
The three of them walked slowly along the corridor towards the lake, admiring the scenery of the Prince's Mansion.
Helian Chi looked like a stranger who should stay away from him. All the officials who wanted to approach him along the way were scared and backed off.
But there were also many people talking about the three of them behind their backs.
"When did the Prince Yu's Mansion become so close to the Third Prince of Yu Country?"
"How come I heard that the Third Prince of Yu Kingdom didn't stay at the post station, but instead lived in the Prince Yu's Palace?"
"This is incredible. Prince Yu is engaged to Princess Mingxi, and now he's trying to win over the Third Prince of Yu Country. I'm afraid..."
"Didn't you see that the Third Prince of Yu Country and Princess Mingxi looked very familiar, talking and laughing?"
For a while, everyone was discussing the relationship between the three people. After all, these three people represented the positions of three different countries, which made people think a lot...
Not long after, the Emperor and the Queen also arrived at the Prince's Mansion.
The guards at the door excitedly shouted, "Your Majesty has arrived, the Queen has arrived!"
Everyone in the yard knelt down in unison.
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empress!"
Helian Tian waved his hand, a thick smile on his face: "Everyone, get up. Today is the prince's wedding. There is no need to be restrained on this festive day!"
Afterwards, Helian Tian symbolically said a few words of gratitude to the envoys from other countries, and then the banquet began!
At the Yueqi Kingdom banquet, men and women were separated. The female members, led by the queen, went to the next courtyard in an orderly manner under the guidance of the palace maids. Everyone took their seats in order of status.
Yun Li's seat was on the right side of the Queen. A hint of annoyance flashed in her eyes. If she could choose, she really didn't want to sit with the Queen.
His eyes fell on Wei Sisi and Xia Yanran who were sitting in the back. He nodded and greeted them, and the banquet began immediately.
At the beginning of the banquet, several noble ladies came over to toast the queen.
Some people also toasted Yunli, but she rejected them all. She dared not touch the wine from the Prince's Mansion.
About two hours into the feast, the Emperor and Empress returned to the palace. Everyone knelt down again to send them off.
After the Emperor and the Empress left, everyone lost their restraint and the atmosphere became more and more lively. Some drank, played finger-guessing games, chatted, and some even had dancers singing to liven up the atmosphere. For a moment, the entire Prince's Mansion was bustling with activity.
After three rounds of drinking, some people needed to rest because they were too drunk, and some people wanted to go to the toilet. The Prince's Mansion had already prepared many rooms for today's guests to rest.
Yun Li felt that it was pointless to sit down any longer. She couldn't eat much anyway, so she wanted to ask Xia Sisi to walk around the Prince's Mansion.
Just as she stood up, the guard came to tell her that her brother had drunk too much and was sent to the wing room.
Yun Li said to the guard: "Which room is it in? Take me there to have a look."
The guard pointed and said, "Princess, it's not far ahead."
When I walked near the wing room, a woman in a yellow dress sneaked into the room where my brother was resting and closed the door.
Yun Li had a bad feeling, so she quickly quickened her pace.
