Chapter 70: Ten Miles of Red Makeup
The princess took Chen Shurong to the palace for lunch before returning and ate with the emperor.
No one knows what Princess Yongjia said to the emperor, how to deal with the floods in Linhuai next, and who will deal with it.
But one thing is certain, Your Majesty now trusts Princess Yongjia as much as he trusts the eldest princess.
Those who tried to quickly bring down the power of the Princess's Mansion had to slow down.
In the next two days, Chen Shurong concentrated on preparing for the wedding, and Ye Man and Xiao Qiao also came to help her.
Seeing that Xiao Qiao looked normal, Shen Shurong felt relieved, as he had thought that the girl would be sad for a while.
"I think it's good to see a person clearly before getting married." Xiao Qiao sincerely thought so, just like Sister Ye Man. If Jia Caiyong had not been discovered to have been visiting prostitutes before marriage, it would have been even more heartbreaking to find out after marriage.
Chen Shurong deeply agreed that if one could see through a person's disguise before marriage, the tragedy of the previous life would not have happened.
Chen Qi also came back from the farm, bringing back a crossbow and a hidden weapon that could be worn on the wrist, disguised as a bracelet.
Chen Shurong wanted to remind his elder brother to take Bai Sanzhu and move in the direction of gunpowder, as these were far less powerful than gunpowder.
But seeing the smug smile on my brother's face, I held back from saying anything. I thought my brother had finally found something he liked to do.
He then started to praise the hidden weapons, saying that they were the best self-defense for a weak woman like her.
Two days later, the wedding date of Princess Yongjia of the Great Zhou arrived. Early in the morning, the betrothal gifts from the Duke of Lu's Mansion were moved into the Princess's Mansion in boxes.
A lot of people gathered at the gate of the Princess's Mansion, listening to the singing of the gifts being carried in one by one, and they were filled with envy.
There is also a top-quality Dongzhu pearl, which is rare even in the palace.
Li Wan'er's maid Xiuhe was hiding in the crowd. When she heard Dongzhu raise her eyes, she thought she had heard it wrong.
I heard from Madam that there is only one in the Duke of Lu's Mansion. Why wouldn't they leave it for the Crown Prince's wife?
Only after hearing all the betrothal gifts did Xiuhe run back. The princess was marrying the second young master. If the betrothal gifts were better than the young lady's, who knows how would the young lady, the prince's wife, be laughed at?
In the Mansion of Duke Lu, the wife of the Duke was in Linfengju, and her eyes were filled with tears as she looked at her eldest son wearing a bright red wedding gown.
This son looks like her, so she is the most partial to Yun Zhao and pays more attention to him than to Yun Zheng, who is less of a worry.
"Mother, please be happy that your son is marrying a princess."
The Duke's wife wiped her eyes quickly and said, "Of course mother is happy, but I feel sorry that you are so old now, you can't be so willful in the future."
Xie Yunzhao grinned, "Of course, my son will listen to the princess from now on, so why would he be so willful?"
Qingzhu Qingying covered his mouth and laughed.
The smile on the Duke's wife's face froze...
The happier Yun Zhao is at this moment, the more disappointed Yun Zheng will be.
She didn't arrange anything for Yun Zheng to do with Yun Zhao's wedding, except for letting him show up at the banquet.
But he was still worried, and secretly ordered people to keep an eye on the prince. Nothing could go wrong on such a day.
Xie Yunzhao also asked people to keep an eye on Xie Yunzheng's movements. His marriage with Rongrong must not be disturbed.
Standing in the Chaohui Courtyard, listening to the music outside, it should be Xie Yunzhao going to pick up his bride.
The scene he least wanted to see still happened. Xie Yunzheng wanted to drink. They would get married, have a bridal chamber, and do things that would make him suffer.
Chiyu and Chixiao were also watching him, so how could he get the wine when the banquet hadn't even started?
The prince must not embarrass himself in front of others.
Shen Shurong was surrounded by a group of young girls who were coming to get married. The princess was so beautiful today.
The phoenix crown is made of pure gold and inlaid with countless red and blue sapphires. The pearl tassels hanging down on both sides add agility to the solemnity.
Chen Shurong's makeup today is bridal makeup, which is much heavier than usual, with thick lip balm and red cheeks.
Although I am not used to it, I am also looking forward to good luck and a prosperous and fulfilling life in the future.
There was a big red round fan embroidered with mandarin ducks. Shen Shurong picked it up to cover her face. She thought it was ugly.
Xie Yunzhao couldn't wait and got on the horse first, but unfortunately he had to wait for an auspicious time.
Facing the young prince's blocking the door, Gu Kaizhi played a very important role. Although he had no other abilities, in terms of strength and squeezing inside, no one could stop him.
Xie Yunzhao patted his shoulder gratefully, "From now on, you will be my brother."
Gu Kaizhi stood there digesting his joy. This joy was no less than when Brother Xie got married.
......
Xie Yunzhao's mouth, which had been grinning all the way, carefully retracted when he saw Chen Shurong.
The villain succeeds?
Getting carried away?
I can’t let Rongrong feel this way, “Rongrong, I’ll pick you up.”
Chen Shurong covered his face tightly, which really didn't look good.
Xie Yunzhao tilted his head to look, but she was still blocking it, the two of them were like a chick trying to catch an eagle.
The matchmaker looked at her parents sitting on the chair, her eyes red, and she quickly pulled the two newlyweds to stand.
"From now on, you must be filial to your elders and respectful to your children, and believe in universal love. You must respect and love each other, and discuss things before doing anything..." The eldest princess had just said two sentences when her voice choked and she couldn't continue.
The old tutor was the same. The couple had only one son, the Prince, and he doted on his granddaughter even more than on his own son. He could be said to be doting on her. Now he really couldn't bear to let her go.
The Prince and Princess were reluctant to let their daughter go, but they were more worried about Xie Yunzhao and feared that their daughter would be wronged.
Chen Shurong pulled Xie Yunzhao to kneel down and bid farewell to his family. His tearful peach blossom eyes were extremely firm: "Grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, don't worry, Yongjia will be happy."
Xie Yunzhao kowtowed, his voice clear and solemn: "Grandfather and grandmother, father-in-law and mother-in-law, rest assured, Yunzhao regards the princess as his life, and will cherish her and not let her suffer any grievances."
The four elders said yes and said they were all good children.
Marrying Xie Yunzhao was an injustice. A disdainful sneer came from the reception area outside the door. Although it was very small, it was loud enough to be heard clearly.
Shen Shurong helped Xie Yunzhao up. Others didn't believe it, but she did.
Following the guidance of the matchmaker, the two went out.
Xie Yunzhao, riding on the horse, looked back at the wedding sedan. He thought that he would never wear a bright red wedding gown and come to the Princess's Mansion to pick up Rongrong in his lifetime.
I even thought that I would never wear red in my life!
She thought that the man she would marry with all her wedding gifts would be Xie Yunzheng.
As the auspicious time arrived, the team slowly moved towards the Duke of Lu's Mansion, followed by Shen Shurong's dowry.
The dowry that seemed to have no end was the envy of countless women. This was the treasure of the two families, Princess Yongjia.
Since the unreliable Xie Yunzhao was replaced, there have been many more princesses and princesses.
Li Wan'er also saw it and clutched the handkerchief tightly in her hand, feeling upset. Just because she was a princess, the betrothal gift of Dongzhu was given to her, and now her dowry should be more than hers. Did she really want to suppress her?
A month later, someone will definitely compare her dowry with that of the princess.
At this moment, she felt extremely dissatisfied with Xie Yunzheng. Others didn't know the rules, but didn't Xie Yunzheng know how to protect himself?
The eldest wife, the heir to the title of Duke, just allowed herself to be bullied by the second wife and let others watch her?
In Chaohui Courtyard, Xie Yunzheng, who had prepared himself mentally for a few days, was still heartbroken at this moment and was called out by Duke Lu to entertain the guests.
He suddenly had an impulse to kidnap Yongjia and run away to a deserted place.
Where no one can stand in their way...
