Chapter 87 Wedding 1
In order to marry with dignity, Fushu took out all her dowry, which were all prepared for her by her mother one by one. If the wedding dress could be left to her, it would be a good thing.
"Then listen to the prince."
Seeing that she still looked neither happy nor surprised, Xuanyuan Jing took out the imperial edict.
"This is the imperial decree granting marriage from the Emperor."
There was a hint of surprise in Xiao Fuguang's eyes now, and he reached out to take the imperial edict.
"The Emperor actually granted the marriage."
Xuanyuan Jing continued to speak from the side.
"Fortunately, I reacted quickly. If I had been a step slower, Concubine Yao would have asked for an imperial decree to marry you to Prince Rong."
When Xiao Fuguang heard this, hatred flashed in his eyes and his mouth was full of sarcasm.
"This mother and son are quite good at pressing the issue step by step."
Xuanyuan Jing stopped and reached out to hold her hand holding the imperial edict.
"Fuguang, from now on we are husband and wife, sharing weal and woe. Your enemy is our common enemy. I have already sent people to investigate Prince Rong and the Yao family."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fuguang bowed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Prince Rong's Mansion.
Prince Rong raised his hand and smashed the tea set on the table to the ground.
"What a Xiao Fuguang! No wonder he keeps turning down the marriage proposal. It turns out he's attracted to the Emperor's uncle."
"You are so short-sighted! Even if the Prince Regent's Palace is extremely powerful, it can only be inferior to others."
Su Yan bowed on the side.
"Your Highness, calm down. It's not worth getting angry over a woman without any sense."
Prince Rong was still furious after hearing this.
"It was your idea. After all the hard work, you ended up making things easier for my uncle."
Su Yan's eyes were also full of unwillingness. Xiao Fuguang, why are you always so lucky and can always escape disaster after disaster?
"Your Highness, this matter is indeed due to the Prince Regent and Xiao Fuguang being too cunning. I didn't expect the Prince Regent to actually ask for an imperial decree to grant marriage. However, the Imperial Preceptor said at the time that Xiao Fuguang couldn't get married within a year, otherwise he would be unlucky."
"Now Xiao Fuguang is about to marry the Regent. If she really kills her husband, the Regent will not have a good ending. If the Regent is fine this year, then the Imperial Master will be guilty of deceiving the emperor."
The anger on Prince Rong's face dissipated a little after hearing this.
"Very good. Since the emperor's uncle wants to compete with me for a woman, being killed by this woman is his retribution."
Su Yan glanced at Prince Rong and continued speaking.
"Your Highness, since Xiao Fuguang can't marry her, then perhaps Your Highness can marry the Princess of Beipan into your palace."
Prince Rong frowned when he heard this.
"Princess Beipan."
"You mean Princess Pearl."
"I'm afraid it's inappropriate. Bei Pan and Xuan Yuan have been at odds with each other for years. Marrying Princess Pearl..."
Su Yan smiled and spoke upon hearing this.
"Your Highness, she's just a woman. You have so many confidantes in your palace, so you're not afraid of having another one, Princess Pearl. Although Beipan and Xuanyuan have been enemies for many years, Beipan has finally asked for peace. Princess Pearl is marrying for a peaceful alliance. Your Highness, you married her for Xuanyuan's sake."
"Bei Pan's war horses are famous throughout the world. After you married Princess Zhenzhu, your Majesty, the Bei Pan's war horses will be at your disposal."
After hearing Su Yan's words, Prince Rong's brows gradually relaxed, and a calculating glint flashed in his eyes.
"You are right. Marrying Princess Beipan. Because of the previous war, everyone has a complicated attitude towards this Pearl Princess. If I marry her, it will not only show my magnanimity, but also increase my strength. Beipan's warhorse is even... If I can use Beipan, why worry about not accomplishing great things?"
Imperial Palace.
Fengyi Palace.
The queen's face didn't look good either.
"I never thought that the Prince Regent, who is usually rumored to be averse to women, would actually marry the Princess Protector of the Nation."
"I have been fanning the flames for so long, but he finally got the upper hand."
Seeing this, Aunt Fang poured the queen a cup of tea.
"My Lady."
"Although it was intercepted by the Regent, in my opinion, this is also a bad thing."
"At least it's impossible for people to enter Prince Rong's Mansion."
The queen took a sip of tea.
"That makes sense. In comparison, Concubine Yao really failed miserably."
Then he pondered for a moment.
"Even though we can't become a family, there's no need to be enemies. Send a message to the Crown Prince and have him prepare a gift and send it to the Regent's Palace tomorrow."
"Also, Madam Fang, please go to my storehouse and select a valuable gift. Tomorrow, go to the Prince Regent's Palace in person and tell them that this is a gift from me to the Prince Regent and Princess Regent. May they live happily ever after."
The Fifth Prince's Mansion.
Zhou Mingyu looked at the fifth prince and spoke.
"Today, the Prince Regent's Palace is offering marriage proposals to the Xiao family, and it's quite lively. Look, you've been waiting and waiting, and now your sweetheart has become the Empress's aunt."
The fifth prince was holding a teacup, his eyes looking at the tea, with an ambiguous look in his eyes.
"The Protector of the Country Princess is indeed somewhat interesting, but this prince will not get involved. It's better to see who the emperor's uncle likes. I will only join in the fun for once. If I join in too much, I will get into trouble."
Zhou Mingyu looked at him and spoke after hearing this.
"Are you really willing to just watch her get married?"
The fifth prince pondered for a moment.
"In the face of power, there's no such thing as willing or unwilling. Moreover, she's not an ordinary woman. Rather than saying the uncle won her over, it's better to say she chose him. She seems to be forced to do everything, but in reality, she's the one holding the initiative."
Regardless of what others think, the wedding banquet between the Regent's Palace and the Xiao family has been prepared.
Although the wedding was rushed and seemed hectic, everything went smoothly.
Xiao Family Ancestral Hall.
Xiao Fuguang changed into the exquisite court dress of the Regent Princess early in the morning. It was embroidered with intricate gold patterns, which made her look more noble and extraordinary. She wore a phoenix crown on her head.
She walked slowly into the ancestral hall, each step steady and firm.
He walked forward and knelt, looking up at the tablet of the Xiao family's ancestors.
Finally, his gaze fell on Madam Xiao's tablet. He paused for a moment before speaking in a serious voice.
"Xiao family ancestors, please listen."
"I am marrying today, not for love, but to kill the murderer of my mother."
"The Xiao family is full of loyal and brave people, yet they are treated like ants. The hatred for killing my mother is irreconcilable. I, Xiao Fuguang, will use everything I have to seek justice for the Xiao family."
"Tell the gods that killing someone means paying with one's life. This is only natural. I hope the gods will approve it and the Xiao family ancestors will bless you."
After saying this, he kowtowed heavily to the ancestors of the Xiao family.
Xiao Fushu, who was standing outside the door, burst into tears.
Lin Qingwan couldn't help wiping away her tears.
Every daughter would be filled with joy when she gets married, and look forward to future happiness. However, the daughter of the Xiao family was filled with hatred when she got married.
Xingyue helped Xiao Fuguang up.
Liu Yue handed the incense to Xiao Fuguang.
Xiao Fuguang inserted the incense into the incense burner with a pious look on his face, looked at Madam Xiao's tablet and spoke.
"Mother, my daughter is getting married today."
"Please rest assured, mother. Fu Guang will take good care of herself from now on. The Xiao family will no longer be anyone's pawn. Your daughter will be the one holding the chess pieces."
