Chapter 34: Establishing Authority
The red veil was slowly lifted, and everyone waited with bated breath, about to see the true appearance of the Regent Princess.
However, at the last moment, Xiao Changheng suddenly pressed Yun Qingqing's hand and stopped.
"...Prince, it's okay." Yun Qingqing thought he was afraid of losing face, so she said in a low voice.
Xiao Changheng turned his head towards the emperor and said loudly:
"I'm sorry I can't obey your suggestion just now."
The emperor was stunned: "What proposal?"
Su Yurou covered her mouth and laughed softly:
"Your Highness must be too nervous. The bride's veil must be lifted according to etiquette, not the emperor's order."
Everyone's eyes were filled with meaningful expressions. It seemed that the Regent really disliked Yun Qingqing for being too ugly and didn't want to embarrass her in public by lifting her veil!
Just as this thought came to mind, the Regent said:
"My royal brother said that he wants to give me a concubine and a noble concubine. I'm sorry that I can't obey your order. I only want to be with Qingqing for the rest of my life and I will only marry her in this life!"
Buzz!
The courtiers and guests in the hall were all shocked and started talking about it.
I didn't expect the Regent would say this!
He actually declared in public that he only recognized Yun Qingqing. It didn't seem like he had any disdain for her at all!
Xiao Changheng ignored the stunned emperor and turned to smile warmly at Yun Qingqing.
"I like everything about Qingqing." At this point, his tone suddenly became cold and solemn, and he said loudly, "I am putting this on hold today. If I hear anyone dare to speak ill of the princess again, don't blame me for being rude!"
After saying this, he lifted the red veil without hesitation!
The whole place suddenly fell into dead silence.
Xiao Changheng's grip tightened slightly, then he put down the scale bar as usual, took Yun Qingqing's hand, and showed a smile that made countless girls fascinated.
"Madam, I finally married you."
There were a few soft gasps on the field.
Xiao Changheng slowly tightened his grip on Yun Qingqing's hand, without wavering in the slightest.
Even if the whole world says that she is ugly, he wants everyone to know that she is the only one qualified to be the Regent Princess!
"The princess is so beautiful..." A young girl's dazed voice sounded faintly.
……Um?
Xiao Changheng's face darkened.
Who else dares to mock the princess in front of me?
But before he could make a move, the whole place exploded with a loud bang!
"Am I seeing right? ...The Princess Regent is so beautiful!"
"This is what a fairy would do if she came down to earth!"
"Who said Yun Qingqing is ugly? Are you blind?"
Su Yurou's smile froze and she looked at Yun Qingqing with wide eyes.
What caught everyone's eyes was a stunningly beautiful face with an expression of surprise.
Her skin is as white as snow and as smooth as a baby's, with a delicate nose, beautiful eyebrows, starry eyes and cherry lips. There is not even a trace of flaw on her face. Her exquisite makeup and phoenix crown and bridal robe make her so beautiful that one cannot take their eyes away.
Many people forgot what the occasion was and blurted out words of surprise:
"…This is impossible! I saw her last month and she wasn't like this at all!"
"I was there the day she jumped into the river. It's only been a short time... Is she really Yun Qingqing?"
"No doubt about it. She looked like this before the fire..."
"The princess and the prince together are so pleasing to the eyes!"
“What a perfect match!”
Xiao Changheng: “…”
Was he hallucinating?
Nan Zheng saw the prince's surprise and whispered in his ear:
"The scars on the princess' face have all disappeared. I think she healed them herself."
His voice was full of excitement.
God knows his jaw dropped to the ground when he saw the princess's face just now.
Although he was shocked, he was also happy for the prince in his heart. If the princess's medical skills were really so amazing, then the prince's leg disease could be cured with greater certainty!
Xiao Changheng came back to his senses and fell silent.
Yun Qingqing stared at him with her clear eyes, feeling a little speechless.
This man was blessed with great fortune. When those words came out of her mouth, her spiritual pupils suddenly sensed something and she discovered that a causal line between the two of them began to appear vaguely and its color was erratic. She had never encountered such a situation before.
I am speechless. The karma with that scumbag hasn't been resolved yet!
She subconsciously glanced at Xiao Zirui and saw that he was surrounded by a black aura, and the black color on the causal line connecting him to herself had receded a lot.
This discovery made her feel better, and she then noticed that Xiao Zirui, who had been staring at her in a daze, suddenly lit up when he met her gaze.
Yun Qingqing: ...
Yun Bailian's face was distorted, and she forced a smile, stretched out her hand to hold Yun Qingqing's arm, and said affectionately:
"It turns out that your sister's face has been cured. You hid it very well, but I, your younger sister, didn't even know it."
Yun Qingqing's eyes fell on her face for a moment, and suddenly she smiled and whispered in her ear:
"Why, the Yanshisan you put in my food every day didn't work, you're surprised?"
Yun Bailian's expression paused, a flash of guilt flashed across her eyes, and she immediately said blankly:
"Sister, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"
Yun Qingqing said calmly:
"Since the Face-Eating Powder didn't work on me, guess who it will backfire on?"
After saying this, she took Yun Bailian's hand away with a smile, turned around and ignored her.
Yun Bailian froze completely, panic gradually filling her eyes. Coincidentally, the slight itchiness on her face reappeared, her heart tightened, and she subconsciously touched her face.
Su Yurou suddenly grabbed Yun Bailian's arm and screamed:
"Sister Bai Lian! What happened to your sleeve? Why is there such a big tear in it?"
Her voice immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Yun Bailian suddenly came back to her senses and realized that she had forgotten to hold the cuffs in her panic, and the torn part was exposed.
She was both ashamed and angry. Su Yurou, that bitch, actually shouted it out in public. It was obvious that she was trying to embarrass her on purpose!
Yun Bailian was anxious to pull her hand back, but Su Yurou held her tightly and said worriedly:
"What should I do? Today is the prince's wedding day. This is too unlucky!"
"You bitch..." Yun Bailian's face flushed red, and she raised her hand to slap Su Yurou.
"That's enough!" Xiao Zirui grabbed their wrists and separated them, saying in a deep voice, "Bai Lian is the fate of Tian Feng. There are no taboos today. Don't worry about this little thing!"
Yun Bailian glared at Su Yurou hatefully, with a hint of pride in her eyes.
The prince spoke for her.
Su Yurou pinched her fingers into her palms in hatred, but nodded obediently:
"What the prince said is right. I care too much about the prince and think too much. It's Rou'er who worries too much."
The Queen saw that the Crown Prince's wedding had not yet ended and the two concubines were about to start a quarrel. Yun Qingqing, who was standing by and was obviously watching the fun, felt so angry that her head hurt.
She quickly tried to smooth things over and change the subject:
"Today, the Regent and the Crown Prince are getting married at the same time. This is a double blessing for Daliang! Doesn't Your Majesty have a reward? Isn't it time to give it out?"
The emperor nodded: "Come here, announce my reward!"
The chief eunuch immediately read out the gift list and ordered someone to bring up the rewards.
The queen secretly exchanged glances with the imperial teacher.
According to the Imperial Master, if the Crown Prince and Tian Feng can establish their authority today and suppress the Regent and his wife, Xiao Changheng's luck will be further weakened!
