With the wedding date approaching, red ribbons were hung all over the Prime Minister's residence.
Although Luo Jiu was marrying Liang Ye as a concubine, it was still a marriage bestowed by the Emperor. If Luo Chentian didn't hold a grand celebration in the mansion, wouldn't that be an open expression of his dissatisfaction with the marriage?
They're all seasoned officials, old foxes; they wouldn't make such a basic mistake.
Although it was about Luo Jiu's wedding, she was probably the most relaxed person at the ceremony. Completely detached, she didn't seem like someone about to become a bride at all.
Luo Jiu gave up her idea of running away from the marriage. Since it was already a done deal, she had no choice but to find another way. She would see if she could get Liang Ye to divorce her, and then she could try to seduce the male lead.
I hope he won't look down on me because I'm a divorcee, considering our past relationship.
Luo Jiu ate the newly arrived grapes, her mind filled with melancholy.
This was probably the most pleasing to Luo Jiu among all the boxes of betrothal gifts Liang Ye had given her.
Giving away gold, silver, or jewelry is pointless; you can't use it, and you can't sell it. All you can do is wear it on your head every day, crushing your head, just to save face for those stinky men.
She must be bored to do these thankless and exhausting things.
"Miss, tomorrow is your wedding day..." Can you please stop being so dejected...?
Jinxia looked at Luo Jiu with a worried expression, her gaze fixed on Luo Jiu like that of a concerned old mother.
"There's no way around it, this is so boring... Ah! This salted fish is usually a symbol of life..."
Jin Xia could now ignore the few incomprehensible words that Luo Jiu occasionally uttered, and looked at her with a helpless expression.
"Speaking of which, wasn't yesterday Xiao Qingyun's wedding? How was it? Did you go see it?"
Luo Jiu was so bored that she went to dig up gossip about her "ex-boyfriend" to spice up her life.
"No."
After hearing this, Luo Jiu looked at Jin Xia with a helpless expression, "I told you I would go and take a look, but you kept stopping me. If I don't go, won't you go and check it out for your young lady, and find out what's going on?"
Jinxia: "..." Is Miss trying to find out the truth? Does she want to go through a gun marriage or something?
Jinxia was somewhat surprised by the sudden thought that popped into her head, and slapped her forehead hard. How had she recently started having such rebellious ideas, just like her mistress…?
Hmm...
As long as no one notices, she is still the same innocent and naive Jinxia.
"Yesterday's wedding was a grand affair. Prince Yi only has Princess Ruoyun as his daughter, so naturally he cherishes her dearly. The ten-mile-long red bridal procession started from the Prince's residence and circled most of the capital..."
As Jinxia spoke, she secretly glanced at Luo Jiu's expression, afraid that she might show even the slightest sadness.
But Luo Jiu was lying on the rocking chair, seemingly oblivious and half asleep, which made me twitch my lips.
Sure enough, Miss is quite carefree these days. There's no way she'd feel sad for Xiao Qingyun.
"Even so, I heard this morning that Young Master Xiao didn't go to the princess's room at all last night... He spent the whole night calming down in his study."
"oh?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Jiu immediately became interested. She sat up abruptly from the rocking chair, propped her chin on her hand, and looked at Jin Xia with what appeared to be considerable interest in her blindfolded eyes.
"Then what?"
Jin Xia: "...That's all."
"I see..."
Luo Jiu seemed lost in thought. The original owner of this body hadn't loved the wrong person, but ultimately they were destined to be apart.
Boring...
Luo Jiu gave up her thoughts and lay back down in the rocking chair.
On the day Luo Jiu got married, the weather was not as sunny as usual. Instead, it was covered by several dark patches of sky, and the sky was gray and gloomy, as if raindrops might fall at any moment.
She changed into a bright red wedding dress, the long skirt of which cascaded down to the ground, with gold thread outlining various floral patterns, exuding elegance and nobility.
The white silk that was originally on her face was removed, and a red veil covered her eyes, making the floral decoration between her eyebrows appear even more vivid and beautiful.
Luo Jiu smiled, her bright red lipstick making her originally pure and ethereal face appear even more alluring and seductive.
The matchmaker placed the red veil over Luo Jiu's head, chanting congratulatory words continuously. Supported by Jin Xia, Luo Jiu walked step by step towards the bridal sedan chair.
Many people came to see her off, each with a different expression as they looked at Luo Jiu, who was about to step into the Prince's mansion.
Even though Jin disliked Luo Jiu, she was still her nominal mother. She looked at Luo Jiu with a sullen face and indifferent expression.
She felt a little resentful. All she had was a pretty face; her old flame got engaged a few days ago, and she's already hooked up with a new guy. She really has some nerve.
Thinking about it, she suddenly glanced at Luo Shuang'er, who was standing to the side with envious eyes. She couldn't help but sigh. "You child, if you were as ambitious as her, you could have easily become a concubine, even a princess..."
Forget it, with your personality, you should just marry into an ordinary family. Otherwise, if you marry into such a family, you'll come back crying every few days.
Luo Jiu walked to the bridal sedan chair and suddenly stopped.
Perhaps it was because it was her first time getting married, but Luo Jiu felt a little uneasy. Even though she knew it was just a game with challenges, she still couldn't be as carefree as if she were playing a game.
Every woman imagines what it will be like to get married in the future.
Wearing a wedding dress, the man for whom you are willing to spend your life stands opposite you, waiting for you to run towards him.
However, now everything is in chaos!
"The auspicious time has arrived!"
Upon hearing this voice, Luo Jiu suddenly came to her senses and walked heavily toward the bridal sedan chair.
"Lift the sedan chair!"
Although Luo Jiu married into the royal family, she was ultimately a concubine, and her wedding was far less grand than that of Princess Ruoyun.
The wedding attendant accompanied the sedan chair, while a few servants played drums and gongs in front. However, Liang Ye, the husband rumored to deeply love Luo Jiu, was nowhere to be seen.
"Miss, you are only a concubine. According to the law, you are not entitled to have your husband receive you."
But don't worry, everyone outside is buzzing about how much the Third Prince adores you. You'll definitely be living a life of luxury if you marry him.
The matchmaker smiled and tried to comfort Luo Jiu, hoping to get a more generous reward.
Upon hearing this, Luo Jiu twitched the corner of her mouth. She actually hoped that she would live as a widow from the very first day of her marriage.
Just as Luo Jiu was about to doze off, the sedan chair was carried in through the side gate of the Prince's Mansion, and a pair of slender, well-defined hands lifted the red curtain of the sedan chair door.
"Let's go, my lady."
A deep voice came from in front of Luo Jiu, giving her a different feeling, and she couldn't help but reach out her hand.
That slightly teasing tone is just like that person's.
Thinking of this, Luo Jiu curled her lips. What was she thinking? How could that little thief who only knew how to climb walls have the guts to come here and impersonate Liang Ye?
Sure enough, I haven't been resting well these past few days, and I'm even hallucinating.
