Chapter 71 Wedding Gift
Of course, Lin Ruzhen would not think that Dongfang Yan was looking down on her, but rather regarded all this as Lin Qingyue making things difficult for her.
Lin Qingyue must have bribed the sedan chair bearers and the matchmaker to deliberately embarrass me! She even changed her clothes on purpose when I entered the palace, because she couldn't bear to see me marry into the palace!
Yes, that must be the case! How abominable!
In this way, more than an hour passed, and Lin Ruzhen was almost fainting from hunger, and Lin Qingyue finally came after changing her clothes.
The ceremony officially began. Lin Qingyue took over as the master of ceremonies and shouted, "Bow to Heaven and Earth!"
Dongfang Yan was about to get married, but Lin Qingyue's shout reminded him of the scene that night when he got married with the ghost bride on a small boat in the middle of the river.
I felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Lin Qingyue was still urging him: "Wedding ceremony? Why not? Isn't this the woman you've always wanted to marry?"
Dongfang Yan felt even more uncomfortable when he saw that Lin Qingyue was not jealous at all but looked very happy.
Lin Qingyue, I just want to see how long you can keep pretending.
He hardened his heart and bowed down.
"Bow to your parents twice!"
Since my parents are no longer around, I just bow to their tablets.
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
Dongfang Yan couldn't help but glance at Lin Qingyue again, but she still didn't react much. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, "Does she really not care about me that much? Or is she just pretending, hiding her sadness with a smile?"
After the ceremony, Dongfang Yan sat beside Lin Qingyue with a sullen face.
The maid brought the tea, and the emcee shouted, "Concubine Lin, serve tea to the princess! Kneel!"
Lin Ruzhen knelt down reluctantly and handed the tea to Lin Qingyue with both hands: "Sister, please have some tea!"
Lin Qingyue took the teacup, took a sip, and then took out a silver love lock pendant from her bosom and gave it to Lin Ruzhen:
"I wish my sister and the prince a long and happy marriage. This gift is not meant to be a token of respect."
This blessing is so sincere, as if the author is really happy that the lovers can get married.
But that love lock was actually made of silver... No, the color wasn't right, it wasn't even silver, it was silver covered with iron?
Who is this insulting?
Even if she is a concubine, she cannot humiliate others like this!
So Lin Ruzhen looked at Dongfang Yan with grievance. Dongfang Yan was drinking tea and didn't pay attention to these details.
Lin Ruzhen took the poor quality, simple-shaped love lock necklace and feigned joy as she said to Dongfang Yan, "Your Highness, look, my sister gave me a wedding gift. It's a love lock, and it looks very delicate!"
This is how she can show her innocence and kindness, and how she doesn't even know when she's being insulted. This is a good contrast to Lin Qingyue's viciousness and meanness.
His Highness has always cared about me and will definitely support me. When the time comes, I can offer my persuasion, which will further demonstrate my generosity.
Unexpectedly, Dongfang Yan glanced at it casually, not paying attention to the quality, and thought it was silver, and said casually: "It's good, it suits you well."
She was just a concubine, and Lin Qingyue actually gave her something? Never mind, as long as they liked it.
Lin Ruzhen didn't get the response she wanted and was very disappointed: Your Highness is still too naive and doesn't know the cruel intrigues among the women in the harem.
"Why are you stunned, sister? Don't you like my gift?" Lin Qingyue said with a smile.
"I like...I like it."
"If you like it, wear it."
Lin Qingyue said as she took Lin Ruzhen's lock and put it on her personally, smiling and saying, "Not bad, it suits you very well!"
"Okay, now we can enter the bridal chamber."
Lin Ruzhen was supported by two maids and sent into the bridal chamber.
Before leaving, Dongfang Yan looked at Lin Qingyue deeply.
The originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet as everyone left. A breeze blew in, stirring the colorful silk in the corridor.
Lin Qingyue tore off her cheerful outer shirt, revealing her usual black clothes, and walked out of Prince Jin's Mansion without looking back.
In the bridal chamber, Dongfang Yan was still absent-minded.
Does she really not care about me? Or have I gone too far, causing her to completely give up? But I just want her to give in. If she does, I won't even have to enter this bridal chamber!
"Your Highness..." The woman called out tenderly, bringing his thoughts back.
Dongfang Yan decided to let Lin Qingyue go for now. After all, she was his wife, hers for life. He couldn't just run away, could he? He would find time tomorrow to have a heart-to-heart talk with her.
As a man, no matter how confused Dongfang Yan is, he can quickly regain his sanity.
"Zhen'er." He gently helped Lin Ruzhen lift the red veil, revealing a beautiful and elegant face.
This face once made his heart flutter, but now he felt it was not as beautiful as Lin Qingyue's.
Lin Qingyue has a bright and elegant appearance, and wherever she goes, she is the most beautiful among all the girls.
Lin Ruzhen, on the other hand, is a beautiful girl from a small family with innocent facial features. She always has a pitiful look that can arouse a man's desire to protect her.
"Your Majesty, Zhen'er can finally be your woman!"
The charming woman leaned against the man's chest like a little bird, "Tonight is like a dream. Your Highness, Your Highness..."
With a beautiful woman in his arms and hearing her sweet words, the rationality he had just regained disappeared again. He thought: I am the prince, and I want to possess both the bright and beautiful women and the pure and pretty girls!
"Zhen'er..." He called softly, stripped off the beauty's outer clothes, and when he was about to take off her inner clothes, his fingers brushed across the love lock pendant, and a sudden chill came from his fingertips.
Before he could react, he saw a flash of golden light, Lin Ruzhen's eyes rolled back, and she fell limply on the bed.
At the same time, a picture of light and shadow appeared above her.
This is - tracing back to the dream!
During the time Dongfang Yan and Lin Qingyue were together, he saw her use the skill of tracing back dreams many times.
At first, to activate this skill, she needed blood as a trigger, but later she seemed to be able to use this skill anytime and anywhere.
Now that she's not here, why can she still use this move? Is it because of the love lock?
What does that woman want? What does she want me to see?
As Lin Ruzhen fell asleep, many past memories reappeared and were projected in the form of dreams.
At this moment, the scene that appeared in front of Dongfang Yan was a world covered with snow.
The city walls and treetops are covered in white.
A luxurious carriage came from the end of the road, and its rolling wheels crushed the white snow on the ground.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped and a pretty face of a woman appeared in the window - Lin Ruzhen.
Dongfang Yan, who was off-screen, revealed a gentle expression. "Zhen'er must have dreamed of the day she saved me. Although she is of humble status, she has a kind heart and is a rare good woman in this world."
His heart softened and he couldn't wait to read on.
