◎“Who were you waiting for just now?”◎
The famous Minister An married his daughter to the renowned His Majesty the Prince Ming, so the ceremony was naturally outrageous.
The carriage for picking up the bride stopped in front of the An residence. An Jiu walked to the side of the carriage and saw a large male hand reaching out from her narrow field of vision. Just as An Jiu was about to put her hand on it, she felt a strong gaze piercing her back. She was so scared that her fingertips shrank and she quickly held onto Ji Xiang's arm and climbed into the car.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the hand that she had ignored frozen in place, and An Jiu could only apologize in her heart.
After getting in the car, An Jiu simply lifted her veil and glanced around the car.
The wedding carriage was extremely luxurious, not as small as ordinary carriages, and was almost comparable to the carriages used by the royal family.
However, in terms of specifications, An Jiu's marriage treatment is almost the same as that of the princesses in the palace.
"Miss, why did you lift your veil? This is against the rules!" Ji Xiang served by An Jiu's side. When An Jiu got married, she also came along as part of the dowry.
"It's okay. No one saw it anyway."
An Jiu held the veil in her hand and fanned herself.
There were no electric fans or air conditioners in ancient times. The weather in June and July was as hot as a steamer. She was wearing layered wedding clothes and was already sweating.
In the end, Ji Xiang didn't dare to disobey the young lady. She muttered a few words and then stopped talking. She took out a small round fan and fanned An Jiu with heartache.
Although they were sitting in the sedan, they could still hear the noises outside. The frame began to move slowly and the noisy voices of people outside kept pouring in.
The car was to go around the main streets of the capital, and the An Mansion and the Ming Palace were generous enough to arrange servants to distribute wedding candies and money along the way.
So even though the sun was scorching, both sides of the street were still crowded with children and passers-by, waiting to pick up the wedding candies and coins.
There was a commotion outside. There were sounds of gongs and drums, and people loudly chanting auspicious words. More often than not, there were the sounds of passers-by talking, and the rustling sounds penetrated into the ears of the person in the sedan.
The most talked about person was the handsome young man in brocade clothes sitting on a tall horse in front of the wedding carriage.
After all, these days, we have seen people getting married on behalf of their brothers, but we have never seen a son marrying on behalf of his father.
Moreover, there were rumors that the son had an ambiguous relationship with his stepmother who was taken back home.
Yoshika also heard all this and immediately became indignant.
"Miss, don't listen to the nonsense those people say. I don't know who is spreading such rumors outside. How dare someone so bold as to ruin your reputation? When the master finds the person, he will not let him off easily!"
An Jiu got up early in the morning and hadn't eaten a single bite. She was so hungry that her stomach was growling. She picked up a piece of cake and stuffed it into her mouth. She said incoherently, "What are you afraid of? It won't hurt to be talked about. Besides, your daughter dared to run away from marriage, so why would she care about her reputation?"
An Jiu acted so open-minded and generous, not only because she didn't care, but also because she had ordered someone to spread the rumor secretly.
Of course, there is no need to tell the maid about this.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew from somewhere and lifted the curtain of the car window.
An Jiu subconsciously glanced out the window and saw crowds of people on the street, with many faces flashing before his eyes.
Because the time was too short, An Jiu couldn't see anyone clearly, and the curtain soon fell again, blocking his view.
She only remembered a tall man wearing a fiery red robe.
In this era, few men wore red clothes on a daily basis, especially bright red clothes.
Others become
PanPan
Wearing a bright red dress on the wedding day, this looks really unusual!
"System, the person in red just now, couldn't it be Pei Ji?" An Jiu asked with a troubled look in his heart.
[Yes, host. ]
Hearing the flat electronic voice answering like this, An Jiu actually had a feeling that it was as he expected.
Anyway, she won't be surprised no matter what the villain does now.
Pei Ji is a mentally ill guy who can do anything perverted!
While thinking this, An Jiu unconsciously touched the knuckles of his ring finger.
She is a little worried now about how he will come to snatch the bride.
[Host, why did you let people spread news about you and Mingyi? ]
The system, which was usually as quiet as a chicken, suddenly asked.
"Why are you asking this?" An Jiu raised his eyebrows.
[The system cannot analyze the reason why you do this, the system is very curious. ]
An Jiu smiled silently and said, "Of course you can't analyze it. How can a machine intelligence understand human emotions?"
"In relationships, humans often have many bad habits. For example, what you can't get is the best, and what you have worked hard to get is always more precious than what you get easily."
"I am so distant to him that he will always think that I can't get him and all his efforts are in vain. For a person like Pei Ji, the more he can't get me, the more he will be obsessed with it."
[The system understands that the host is keeping him hanging. But host, you don't have much time left. Wu Sheng will be back with the twin Gu in a month at most.]
"Don't be impatient. Be patient." An Jiu smiled, chewed the pastry slowly, and answered the system in his heart.
"Pei Ji's heart is too guarded. A favorability of 100 is the ultimate deep love, to the extent of being willing to give up one's own life, to the extent of being able to live and die together... Do you think a villain like Pei Ji, who doesn't trust anyone, would love someone like this?"
Not to mention Pei Ji, even An Jiu himself didn't believe it.
She couldn't imagine what such a deep love would be like. Maybe there really was such love, after all, there were some love stories in history that were passed down with vows of eternal love and a life-long commitment, but... An Jiu still couldn't imagine it.
Even though she seemed so calm in front of the system, she actually had no idea what was going on.
Having been with Pei Ji for so long, An Jiu has never stopped analyzing him. As she gets to know him better, she gradually designed a strategy plan.
If you finish, then go home.
If you fail, you will die.
There is no way out.
Thinking of this, An Jiu lowered her eyes, her thick eyelashes covering her pupils, and also hiding the ray of extremely clear light that flashed in her eyes.
In a sense, she and Pei Ji are actually the same type of people.
They all try their best to achieve a goal that must be achieved.
The wedding carriage traveled on the road for a long time and finally stopped in front of the palace at noon.
An Jiu covered her head with the veil, got out of the car with the help of Ji Xiang, and was welcomed into the backyard by Prince Ming.
Originally, there was also a process of worshipping heaven and earth, but it was already unusual for a son to welcome the bride on behalf of his father, and if he were to worship heaven and earth on his behalf, the rumors would probably be even more unbearable to hear, so this step was omitted.
An Jiu was led by Hong Duan to the bridal chamber and just sat down on the red wedding bed.
Then Mingyi said to the people around him: "You go out first, I want to talk to... my mother."
There were the matchmaker and several maids in the bridal chamber, and they all looked at each other in surprise when they heard what happened.
If they were newlyweds, there would be nothing wrong with them going out, but Prince Ming happened to be the stepson of the bride. If this got out, how would it be heard?
However, Mingyi was the owner of the palace, and after he gave another order, everyone left one after another.
Soon, An Jiu and Ming Yi were the only ones left in the room. The noise was kept outside and the room was completely silent.
Seeing the door closed, Ming Yi looked at the bride sitting on the bed. She was covered with a red veil embroidered with double happiness. Originally, his father should have lifted the veil, but now he could do it for him.
Mingyi didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
He sighed softly and asked in a low voice: "Miss An, are you really willing to marry my father?"
The girl's voice came from under the veil: "Yes or no, what does it matter?"
Ming Yi was immediately excited when he heard this. He took a few steps forward and said hurriedly, "I know your father has some dealings with my father. I don't understand those things, and I don't want to understand them. From what I know about Miss An, you should be the same. Women in this world have a hard life. Even if you are the daughter of a minister, you have no choice. If you tell me today that you don't want to, I will set you free."
Under the veil, An Jiu's eyes didn't move, but the voice that spoke was filled with surprise and hesitation.
“Really?”
On the day she met Ming Yi, An Jiu hinted that she was forced to agree to the marriage. A naive person like Ming Yi would definitely not turn a blind eye to it. His current reaction was already expected by her.
Ming Yi said: "Of course it's true. Where do you want to go, Miss An? My father will be back tomorrow. I will quietly send you away tonight."
Mingyi's heart ached when he said this, but he couldn't bear to watch a beautiful girl being imprisoned in the backyard and withering away.
An Jiu said: "I want to go to Yaowang Valley. Please send me to Pei Ji. I want to find him."
Mingyi was stunned for a moment before he understood what Anjiu meant.
He recalled the young genius doctor he met at the Golden Snake Villa, and felt both regret and understanding.
Miss An finally chose Doctor Pei. Although it was a little unexpected, but thinking back on how Doctor Pei took care of An Jiu, it didn't seem so surprising anymore.
Not every man can serve his beloved like Dr. Pei does, as if he were serving his ancestors. Ming Yi believes he can't do it anyway.
Thinking about it this way, I suddenly felt that my loss was not so unfair.
Ming Yi said: "Okay, I'll go to the banquet outside first, and I'll come find you after the banquet is over."
Mingyi left after saying this.
The palace covered a vast area. In order to show the importance of the wedding, the palace held a grand banquet for the guests, sent out many invitations, and filled the house with wine tables.
He Ziqing and his four companions came in with the invitation they had robbed, and sat down at a random table.
They arrived at an untimely time and did not see the bride come in. Instead, they saw Prince Ming toasting with others at the wedding banquet with a very happy face. The young man was dressed in a dark red robe. If they did not know that he was Ming Yi, they would probably have thought that he was the groom who had found his beautiful wife.
After sitting for a while, Pei Ji said that he felt a little stuffy in his chest and went for a walk in the yard alone.
Lin Qingyan watched him leave with a look of pity in her eyes.
He Ziqing asked: "Should we go and take a look?"
Lin Qingyan hurriedly pulled him back: "No, leave him alone, Pei Ji is quite pitiful..."
The longer they stayed in the city, the more rumors they heard. They were almost convinced that An Jiu had returned home on her own and married someone voluntarily.
Not only did she get married, but rumors about her and Ming Yi, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, also spread everywhere.
Pei Ji insisted on wearing a red dress when going out today. In Lin Qingyan's opinion, this was the result of his extremely stubborn behavior even though he was sad.
There is a saying that goes, although I am not the one marrying you, I am also wearing red clothes, as if I am the groom.
It hurts, it hurts so much!
Just thinking about it makes me cry.
Lin Qingyan didn't know that Pei Ji, who was heartbroken in her mind, had quietly come to the bridal room in the backyard.
The maids guarding the door all fell into a coma and lost consciousness.
He opened the door and walked towards the bride.
The bride, with her head covered with a red veil, heard the footsteps and asked without knowing anything, "Who is it? Is it Ji Xiang?"
The man looked around with his dark eyes, raised his hand, picked up the white jade wedding scale on the table beside him, and slowly lifted up the red cloth.
The girl's beautiful face gradually came into view. With her bridal makeup on, she looked quite different from usual and was extremely beautiful. As soon as she entered his eyes, his heart began to beat violently.
As the veil was lifted, the girl who had her eyes slightly drooped gradually raised her eyes. Her cheeks flushed, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows showed the shyness and tenderness of a little girl.
The rippling eyes are filled with soft ripples and are full of affection.
However, when those affectionate peach blossom eyes finally saw the person standing in front of her, the girl's face suddenly turned pale.
"You, you..." The blush faded from the girl's face layer by layer, her red lips trembled, and her expression was as if struck by lightning.
"Are you surprised to see me?" The man, who had changed his face at some point and looked like a "female official", asked softly.
His voice was soft, as if he was whispering to his lover, but there was a dangerous darkness in his dark eyes.
The two leaned forward, their red dresses reflected each other, and the hems of their red dresses hung together intimately. If someone who didn't know the situation saw them, they might think they were a newlywed couple.
The man pinched the girl's panicked face with his fingertips, and looked deeply into her eyes with his narrow black eyes. He could no longer restrain himself, and a cold and cruel arc appeared on his lips.
"Who were you waiting for?"

Sorry for being late QAQ
