Chapter 865 Getting Married (6)
When the Crown Prince married the Crown Princess, there were only fifty-eight. This is almost half more. But Prince Rui is only a prince of Daliang. If the Emperor of Daliang got married, how grand would it be? However, regardless of the Emperor of Daliang, Shen Miao marrying someone is already much more grand than the Emperor of Mingqi.
The crowd couldn't help but burst into exclamations. It was conceivable that from today onwards, Shen Miao's grand wedding would become a grand spectacle that no one in Mingqi could surpass.
Among the crowd watching were young girls, not to mention the daughters of officials who had come to add to their dowries, all of whom were envious. What woman didn't long for a splendid marriage? Women are always vain.
But who could have thought that Shen Miao, the stupid one from the Shen family who was no match for her own cousin and was even always ridiculed and laughed at, and looked down upon by Prince Ding, could actually get such a good marriage?
You have to know that Fu Xiuyi was very cold to Shen Miao at the beginning, but Shen Miao became more and more courageous after each setback, but was regarded as a joke by everyone in Dingjing.
So it is said that misfortune may turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Who can tell what will happen in the future?
Someone said, "Wasn't it His Royal Highness Prince Ding that Miss Shen Wu admired back then? I'm afraid she's feeling lucky now. You know, His Royal Highness Prince Ding has always been simple and honest. If Miss Shen Wu had married His Royal Highness Prince Ding, I'm afraid the ceremony wouldn't have been even one percent of what it is now."
As luck would have it, these words were heard by Fu Xiuyi in the crowd. A hint of anger suddenly appeared on his face, but he quickly suppressed it.
His simplicity was for the world to see, simply to gain a good reputation. If he had heard people say this in the past, Fu Xiuyi would have been happy, because it meant he had succeeded. But today, here, at this time, when people said Fu Xiuyi was simple, Fu Xiuyi felt annoyed. It was as if they were saying that he was far inferior to King Rui.
The guards sent out to investigate yesterday have not returned yet. Fu Xiuyi knew that the plan was probably a failure. While he sent people to look for the whereabouts of his men, he had no choice but to attend Shen Miao's marriage.
He also wanted to see how arrogant King Rui of Daliang could be.
But I didn't expect that Prince Rui would really dare to do it.
To use such a grand display for comparison only makes the Mingqi royal family seem even more stingy. This is a slap in the face of the royal family. The annoying thing is that nothing can be said about this, because Prince Rui is not from Mingqi and the rules of Mingqi do not apply to him.
He then looked towards the entrance of the Shen residence, where Shen Miao was walking out, supported by Luo Xueyan and Mei Niangzi. Shen Miao was stepping over the fire basin, carefully lifting her feet to avoid burning her skirt.
Her movements were careful and slow, as if she was taking this matter extremely seriously. Everyone around was amazed at how dazzling Shen Miao's wedding dress was, but Fu Xiuyi felt an indescribable feeling welling up in his heart.
He suddenly felt that this scene was very dazzling.
But why? Fu Xiuyi had a strange feeling about Shen Miao. At first, Shen Miao chased him because he hated stupid people and just wanted to use her to gain the Shen family's military power. Then, one day, Shen Miao stopped chasing him, and Fu Xiuyi realized that he didn't understand Shen Miao at all. Shen Miao was not stupid at all, but very cunning.
The Shen family was also very puzzled. They clearly had the chess piece in their hands, but since some time ago, the chess piece had escaped from their hands and even formed its own faction on the other side of the Chu River and Han River, confronting them.
But that had nothing to do with love. Before Fu Xiuyi accomplished his great cause, he had no intention of wasting his time on romantic matters.
But at this moment, Fu Xiuyi actually had an urge to kick over the brazier, because he vaguely felt that this scene was not right, as if something was wrong.
Just as he was beginning to feel unable to suppress this inexplicable thought, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd. He looked back and saw the crowd parting to make way for a small path, and from the end of the path, a man in fine clothes and on a fast horse came.
The man, holding the reins, his scarlet brocade robe blazing like fire, galloped towards him from a distance. His robe fluttered, his posture elegant yet passionate, almost burning one's eyes.
Everyone was in an uproar.
However, the man suddenly tightened the reins when he was one step away from Shen Miao, and the horse's hooves suddenly stopped, causing people to exclaim in surprise.
The young man sat high on his horse, his silver mask stained slightly red by his bright red robe. He said nothing, but leaned slightly forward on the horse's back and extended a hand toward the bride.
He spoke lazily and in an irresistible manner.
“I’m here to marry you, Shen Jiaojiao.”
