What are you doing? I’m getting married, not dying!
"Puchi!" Xu Yixing couldn't help laughing. She could feel that Lu Anyuan in front of her suddenly stopped, as if trying to figure out why she was laughing.
However, seeing that he did not make any movement and the noise around him was too loud, he did not make any unnecessary moves. He took Xu Yixing to the bridal sedan, put down the silk, and went outside to ride his horse.
Xu Yixing sat in the sedan chair, feeling indescribably relaxed. Maybe it was because she was leaving the Xu family, or maybe it was because of something else. Anyway, she couldn't figure out the reason for the time being.
There were music and drums all along the way, and Xu Yixing could only hear the sounds of copper coins being thrown and people snatching things outside the sedan chair. This wedding was too lively.
The clatter of gongs, drums, and firecrackers that had been ringing in his ears finally stopped when he entered the Prince's Mansion. Before Lu Anyuan could take him down from the sedan chair, Xu Yixing straightened his silk and covered his face with a fan.
Although she had been to the Prince's Mansion before, she still felt her feet were very stiff after walking around like this today. She walked all the way to the wedding hall. From the corner of her eye, she could see that the other princes seemed to be there today. And sitting in the main seat, watching the ceremony on behalf of the emperor, was none other than Madam Jing.
"The newlyweds have arrived, call for prayer!"
"Bow to Heaven and Earth!"
"Bow to your parents twice!"
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
"The ceremony is over! Send to the bridal chamber~"
The muezzin seemed to be a father-in-law, with a very distinctive duck voice. Xu Yixing followed Lu Anyuan back to the bridal chamber and sat on the bed, knowing that today's activities were finally over. Phew!
"Please wait for a moment. There are food and tea on the table. I'm going to the front to entertain relatives and friends. I'll come back in the evening." Lu Anyuan lowered his head and muttered this in her ear quickly, then hurriedly left for the front yard.
After Xu Yixing secretly confirmed that he had left, he threw the fan away and continued massaging himself.
"Miss, there are so many people coming upstairs!" Siqin walked in, not surprised at all that the second young lady was sitting in such a crooked position.
"Of course. The prince will get married, and this may be the only time in his life. Who wouldn't come and give a gift?"
"Look at what the young lady said, what is possible? It is clearly a certainty!"
"Who said that? If I die, he can still marry someone new."
"Pah! No taboo at all!"
Xu Yixing laughed enough, then stood up and looked at the things on the table. There were scones, baked buns, orange, Buddha's hand, and pear, and a plate of his favorite dried plums. There weren't many things, but it was enough to fill him up.
Xu Yixing recalled that the last time he married his grandson You, he was almost starving until the evening. Is this the difference?
"This bun tastes good, would you like some?"
"No need, I've already eaten. As soon as I came in, Ah Da led our people to distribute the wedding cakes, and everyone started eating."
"Oh! Lu Anyuan is really considerate. By the way, where's Si Wen? Is she here with you?"
"She's here. She came in with the procession carrying the dowry. She should be eating now."
"That's good." Gu didn't say anything about taking Si Wen away, but his father was extremely opposed to it.
My father thought Siwen was unlucky and refused to let her go out with him as a dowry maid. There was no other way, so he could only put her in the team and bring her along as an ordinary maid. It was really unfair to her.
"Miss, the accountant that Gu sent to us has also come along. We can't tell the Seventh Prince to let him work in the Prince's Palace, right?"
"Tsk! He's already cleared up all the accounts for us, so why should I keep him around? There's no rush. Let Lu Anyuan and I discuss it and figure out a way to get him to leave."
"Okay, then how do we settle these maids and other servants we brought here? I'm afraid they are Gu's spies."
"There's nothing to worry about. Even if they're spies, I don't think they can pull any tricks in the prince's palace. You just need to keep an eye on them. If they act suspiciously or cause trouble, kick them out and sell them off."
"Yes, Miss, I feel much more relieved when you say that."
Xu Yixing took a look at Siqin's makeup. Maybe she was happy today, so she applied two thick layers of blush on her face. Although it was not as good as last time, it was still presentable.
"You, stop thinking about the Xu Mansion and the Gu family. Now that we're in the Prince's Palace, the people and things from the past can't reach here, no matter how long their arms are! We should think about how to live our own lives."
"Yes!" Siqin nodded heavily, feeling much more at ease. "Miss, we finally made it!"
"Well...you go out, I'll rest for a while, and you can tell me when the front is almost finished."
"good."
Made it through? Not necessarily. At least Xu Yixing herself never thought that there would be a day when she would marry a prince.
Moreover, she has a grudge against Lu Anyuan. It is undeniable that he is very good to her, but the things that happened in her childhood, the root of everything, can she just let it go without saying?
well!
This was the umpteenth time Xu Yixing had sighed. Since her rebirth, she had been sighing more and more frequently.
Now her murderous enemy will not live for many days, Yi Yan's revenge has been avenged, Gu has lost the housekeeper's power, and although she has left, the people who stayed in the mansion are enough to cause some trouble and give her a headache.
So what about Dad? This man who killed his own mother and Yi Yan's mother, just like that, suddenly became a royal relative, and everything went smoothly from then on?
And as for Lu Anyuan, Xu Yixing always felt that his entanglement with Lu Anyuan would probably continue for a long time.
well!
Xu Yixing chewed the bun in his mouth slowly, sorting out his thoughts bit by bit. Now that he was in the prince's mansion, the disadvantage was that there were many restrictions, such as the inability to summon shadow guards at any time.
Moreover, in the future, I will definitely go to the palace frequently, and I will naturally have to be extra careful when responding to the emperor or the concubines.
The upside was that he finally had a little bit of power in the eyes of others, but this power brought by status, as Aunt Bai said, was not solid. So how to use it would definitely be a problem that Xu Yixing had to consider for a long time.
Furthermore, he had some "absolute guarantee" for the future. As long as Lu Anyuan did not commit any crime such as patricide or regicide, or treason, he would most likely be able to live a good life in his later years.
She didn't care at all whether Lu Anyuan could become the emperor or not. In fact, deep down in her heart, she didn't want Lu Anyuan to become the emperor. Maybe it was because her father always instilled in her how dangerous the royal family was, which made her feel insecure.
Oh, right! One more thing! Xu Yixing slapped her forehead. She had forgotten one very important thing, which was that she didn't want to have children in the short term.
