Chapter 236 Xiao Fushu Gets Married
Xiao Fushu spoke hurriedly.
"How could he die?"
Xiao Fuguang spoke slowly.
"He's really loyal."
With Song Guang's death, the case became an unsolved one. Xuanyuan Jing rushed to the imperial city one day before the New Year and went into the palace to tell the emperor about the fiefdom.
Prince Rong and the fifth prince fought openly and secretly in the court until the crown prince's mourning period was over, and the imperial city finally welcomed a happy event.
The fifth prince Xuanyuan Su married Xiao Fushu, the younger sister of the Regent Princess.
Both the Fifth Prince's Mansion and the Xiao family hung red silk, creating a festive atmosphere.
Xiao Fushu looked at the dowry all over the yard with surprise in his eyes.
"Sister, this dowry is too much!"
Xiao Fuguang held her hand.
"Not much, Fushu. You are my only sister. When you get married, I will make sure you have a grand wedding."
Xiao Fushu looked at the dowry that filled the yard. Part of it had been prepared long ago and kept at the Xiao family, and part of it was brought from the Regent's Palace overnight. It was obvious that his sister had made preparations in advance.
"Sister, these dowries are almost a hundred units, right?"
Xiao Fuguang clapped her hands and smiled.
"One hundred and twenty-eight. If it weren't for the fear that it would be too much and cause gossip, I would have given you a few more."
Xiao Fushu spoke hurriedly.
"That's a lot, sis."
But her eyes could not help but turn red. Prince Rong and his party were always watching her, hoping that something would go wrong in the Regent's Mansion or the Xiao family. The dowry must not be too eye-catching, but she felt that one hundred and twenty-eight units were also eye-catching.
Reach out and hug Xiao Fuguang.
"Sister, what should I do? I can't bear to leave you. I don't want to get married."
Xiao Fuguang put his arm around Xiao Fusu.
"What girl wouldn't marry? Besides, if you don't marry now, the Fifth Prince will cry. Let's go. I just want you to take a look at your dowry so that you can feel confident. Now we should go and dress up, otherwise you won't be done by the time the groom arrives."
After saying that, she pulled Xiao Fushu to dress up and change clothes.
"Fushu, let Funian carry you out later."
Xiao Fushu nodded.
"It is a great honor for me to have the Spring Examination messenger carry me to the bridal sedan chair."
Xuanyuan Su, wearing a bright red wedding dress and riding a tall horse, came to the Xiao family with a grand wedding procession.
Along the way, the sound of gongs and drums and the blast of firecrackers attracted countless people to stop and watch.
Xiao Fushu went to the ancestral hall to bid farewell to his parents, and then was carried out by Xiao Funian.
In the past few months, Xiao Fuguang has spent a lot of time in the Regent's Palace. Xiao Funian spends most of his time with Xiao Fusu, and he really treats Xiao Fusu as his sister.
"Fushu."
Xiao Fushu spoke softly on Xiao Funian's back.
"What's wrong, bro?"
Xiao Fuyang spoke in a young voice.
"It's difficult for us to explain many things in the past, but during these past few months at Banner, I truly treated you as my sister. Although I only passed the imperial examination, I will strive to gain a firm foothold in the court. If the Fifth Prince bullies you in the future, remember to come home and complain. I will support you."
Listening to Xiao Funian's words, Xiao Fusu under the red veil couldn't help crying.
"Okay, I remember now. I have a brother again."
The wedding procession arrived at the Fifth Prince's residence, accompanied by music and drums. The residence was already packed with guests, and the Emperor and Empress were present. They sat on the high altar and witnessed Xuanyuan Su and Xiao Fushu complete the wedding ceremony and officially become husband and wife.
After the Fifth Prince sent Xiao Fushu to the bridal chamber, he came to the guests to drink. The emperor and empress also returned to the palace.
Prince Rong was holding a glass of wine.
"Fifth brother, I haven't congratulated you yet. You've been so successful in the court, and now you've got a beautiful woman. It can be said to be a double blessing."
The fifth prince spoke hurriedly and politely.
"Your Majesty, that's very kind. I just wanted to share my father's worries."
Soon an official came forward.
"Your Highness, I offer you a toast and congratulations."
The fifth prince Xuanyuan Su had a perfect smile on his face as he greeted and drank with the guests one by one.
Prince Rong looked at the group of ministers surrounding Xuanyuan Su, and couldn't help but clench the wine glass in his hand.
Xuanyuan Su, wait until the regent falls, and see how long you can continue to be proud?
And at this time the Xiao family.
Xiao Fuguang burned incense for Xiao's father and mother.
"Father, mother, brother, Fushu is getting married today."
"She came to say goodbye to you earlier this morning, but I still want to talk to you."
"The Fifth Prince seems to be someone who can protect her. I have a close relationship with the Prince Regent in the Prince Regent's Mansion. Father, mother, brother, Shu'er, and I are all living the life you expect us to see. Once Prince Rong is eliminated, I will have my sister-in-law and An'er take him back. Together with my sister-in-law, I will raise An and make him a hero like my father and brother."
After standing in the ancestral hall for a long time, Xiao Fuguang finally walked out.
In the yard, Xuanyuan Jing looked at Xiao Fuguang.
"Fu Guang."
Xiao Fuguang walked forward slowly.
"Shouldn't you be drinking at the Fifth Prince's residence? Why are you here?"
Xuanyuan Jing reached out and held her hand.
"Because I want to be with you."
"Let's go home."
Xiao Fuguang nodded.
"Why don't we walk back?"
Xuanyuan Jing tilted his head and looked at her.
"Okay, if you can't walk anymore, I'll carry you."
In the palace.
Yao Zhaoyi is doing something again.
"Bitch, all of them are bitches."
"What a noble concubine Shu is! How dare you ask me to perform the ceremony."
Lian Xin hurried to comfort him.
"My Lady, my Lady, please don't be angry. It's not worth it to get yourself hurt."
Thinking that today Concubine Shu actually accused her of insubordination and made her kneel in the Imperial Garden for an hour, Yao Zhaoyi was filled with anger.
After so many years in the palace, even the Queen has never dared to humiliate me like this. Concubine Shu is really arrogant and domineering.
"When will this frustrating life end? I've endured it long enough."
Cuizhu came hurriedly and saw the scene on the ground. She immediately signaled Lianxin to clean up, and then she walked to Yao Zhaoyi's side and helped her sit down.
"My Lady, please don't be angry. I have some good news to tell you."
When Yao Zhaoyi heard this, a glimmer of hope finally appeared in her eyes, and she reached out and grabbed Cuizhu's hand.
"Hurry up and tell me."
"Have you found any clues to the matter I asked you to investigate?"
Cuizhu nodded.
"Your Majesty is wise. I have inquired from many sources. When Concubine Liang was pregnant, the Queen Mother was indeed very virtuous and gave her many supplements. However, those supplements were all very strong tonics. Moreover, the Queen Mother often summoned Concubine Liang to her palace and prepared strong tonics for her every time. Over time, Princess An Ning's belly grew very fast..."
Yao Zhaoyi was delighted when she heard this.
"So the baby ended up being a difficult birth, right?"
Cuizhu nodded.
Yao Zhaoyi's eyes were full of calculations.
"Okay, okay, I finally don't have to endure it anymore. The opportunity has come..."
