The tenth day of August is a good day for marriage.
Most princesses of this dynasty were married off from princess mansions and were escorted by envoys sent by the emperor himself.
At Princess Rong'an's coming-of-age ceremony, the Emperor bestowed upon her a Princess's Mansion. It was adjacent to Ye Lingyi's Princess Yi'an Mansion, but later Prime Minister Su settled his family on the other side of Princess Rong'an's Mansion.
This led to Ye Lingyi's obsession with exchanging mansions with the original owner. How could the original owner agree to this? She had always been against Ye Lingyi.
Ye Lingyi mistakenly believed that the original owner also liked Prime Minister Su. That's why Ye Lingyi came up with such a vicious method to destroy the original owner.
Today Ye Lingyi knew that Danruo was marrying a merchant, so she was so happy that she ate two extra bowls of rice. However, the emaciated queen disliked her and slapped her in the face. She felt that her daughter had brought disaster upon her.
Even though she was a princess born out of wedlock and was favored, the emperor actually granted her special permission to marry out of the palace.
She had thought about taking the opportunity of Danruo's wedding to ask the emperor for permission to attend, but the emperor was so captivated by the bitch and her daughter that he refused without a second thought.
As the queen, I cannot attend the wedding of a concubine's princess today.
--
The Imperial Concubine, with tears in her eyes, arranged the phoenix crown for her daughter, repeatedly admonishing her:
"You are a princess. If anyone makes you unhappy, you can just take it back. If you get into trouble, your mother will take the blame for it. As for me, as long as everything goes well and I live happily, that's all that matters."
She touched her belly and found that her period was half a month late. She had given birth to a daughter before, so she knew that she was basically pregnant now. No matter whether it was a boy or not, she must make sure it was a little prince so that she could protect her daughter and make her worry-free for the rest of her life.
Dan Ruo wiped the tears of the beautiful mother and comforted her: "Even after my daughter gets married, she can still come back to the palace to see me every day. My mother is so sad now. Is it because she doesn't want to see her daughter anymore?"
The imperial concubine burst into laughter and said, "I would rather you bother me every day. But after you get married, live a good life with your husband and don't worry about your mother every day."
"The auspicious time has arrived, Princess, please come out."
The Crown Prince was still doing disaster relief work and had not returned, and the other princes were still young, so the eldest son of the royal family, Rui Wang, was chosen as the elder brother to carry Danruo on his back to the sedan chair ordered by the princess and carried by sixteen people.
The emperor stood on a high building and watched the wedding procession go away from afar. After all, it was the first time for him to marry off his daughter. Thinking of his daughter's delicate appearance when she was a child, he felt a little sad for a moment.
Lin Yong rode on a tall horse, enjoying the cheers of the people in the capital. He vaguely heard the women in the crowd talking about how handsome the prince consort was and how wealthy the Lin family was. No wonder the princess married him. It was obvious that the princess was also fascinated by the prince consort's handsome appearance.
Lin Yong, who was still drunk, was feeling very proud. He turned around to look at the extremely gorgeous sedan chair. The red curtains were tightly closed and the princess inside could not be seen. The moment he looked away, he saw his sweetheart Su Rouer among the palace maids escorting the sedan chair on both sides.
The two looked at each other from a distance. Su Rouer smiled bitterly with blood scabs at the corners of her mouth. Lin Yong imagined the scene last night where the princess bullied Su Rouer because she was jealous that Su Rouer slept with him first. The anger in his heart slowly rose and burned more and more.
It was almost noon when the bridal sedan finally arrived at the gate of the Lin Mansion. The matchmaker took the red silk and handed it to Lin Yong and then to the princess who was being helped out of the sedan.
Lin Yong didn't answer, but cleared his throat: "I have something to say to the princess."
The people in the Lin Mansion and the invited guests all fell silent, thinking that the groom might be about to express his feelings to the princess.
Danruo stood in front of the sedan chair, waiting quietly. She sensed the presence of Lin Hancheng in the crowd and smiled.
Lin Yong mustered up his courage and said, "I would like to take Su Rouer, the maid from yesterday's trial marriage, as my concubine. Please grant my wish, Princess."
The crowd erupted in discussion. Lin Hancheng strode up to Lin Yong. Only when he got closer could he smell the lingering smell of alcohol on him. His face darkened as he angrily scolded him, "Do you know what nonsense you said? Take it back now and kneel down to beg the princess for forgiveness."
Lin Yong stiffened his neck and said, "The princess is jealous. Rou'er has suffered a lot in her hands because she has no status and no position. Today, I only ask the princess to give Rou'er a status. I will definitely treat the princess well in the future."
Su Rouer was also pushed out by the palace maid who was traveling with her. Facing the gazes of everyone, Su Rouer never thought that Lin Yong was so stupid as to put herself in the spotlight in public.
Everyone shook their heads. She was a beautiful woman, but anyone who had seen the princess knew that she was not even one ten-thousandth as beautiful as her.
Lin Hancheng just wanted to kill this fool on the spot. Seeing that Lin Yong did not repent, Lin Hancheng and everyone in the Lin Mansion knelt on the ground:
"The prince consort has suddenly gone insane, but the Lin family has no intention of offending the princess. Please forgive me, princess."
Lin Yong was puzzled. The marriage had been decided and the bridal sedan had been brought. Could it be that the princess, as a woman, could break off the engagement? That was why he wanted to force the princess.
The woman threw the fan that the bride had used to cover her face onto the ground and spoke slowly, her clear voice tinged with anger:
"I see that Master Lin has clear eyes and a sharp tongue, and he doesn't look crazy at all. However, since Master Lin is dissatisfied with this marriage, let's call it a day. However, Master Lin has spread rumors that I am jealous, which is a crime of slander and defamation. Come, give me a hundred lashes as a warning to others.
As for Su Rouer, considering the Lin family's years of helping the people, this princess can reward Master Lin with her as a concubine, fulfilling his wish."
Lin Hancheng, who was kneeling in front, heard a familiar voice. When he looked up and saw the woman's face clearly, his blood began to boil.
So that's why. No wonder Jiaojiao was so angry after the accident. It was because I asked her to become my concubine and then disappeared. Jiaojiao is actually a princess, and I am just a commoner. It is a capital crime to offend the princess unintentionally, but she even said such arrogant words and asked the princess to be my concubine.
