Chapter 5 The Scar on His Face
The matchmaker held her hand, her voice trembling with excitement.
"Princess, please walk carefully. Look, the red carpet has been rolled out in front of the wedding sedan. There is a line of servants and maids at the door, all dressed brand new. It's such a festive occasion!"
"I never expected that everything in Prince Jun's Mansion would be ready in just a short while!"
Fu Zhaoning was helped into the house. She listened to the matchmaker talking to her excitedly all the way and was extremely surprised.
This must have been done after Prince Jun agreed to the marriage on the street. They immediately sent someone back to the palace to pass on the order and then made all the arrangements.
Oh my god, did she underestimate this unknown Prince Jun?
With such doubts, Fu Zhaoning was helped to a flower hall, and two maids came over and took over from the matchmaker.
"Your servant Fenxing greets the princess."
"This servant Hong Zhuo greets the princess."
The two maids spoke in clear voices. After they bowed to Fu Zhaoning, they explained the situation to her.
"Princess, the wedding hall and the bridal chamber are being decorated. The prince needs to change into wedding clothes. The news of the wedding needs to be reported to the emperor in the palace. Someone should be coming from the palace. Please wait for a moment, Princess."
"When a big wedding is held in the palace, there must be guests. The butler has already sent someone to deliver the wedding invitations. I believe the guests will arrive soon."
Time is so tight, and there are guests? Do you really want to have a grand wedding?
"Princess, the housekeeper has sent someone to get your new wedding dress, which will be delivered to you later for you to change into. Please choose from these jewelry and head ornaments."
Although she did not take off her red veil, a tray was placed in front of her. If she lowered her head, she could still see that there were several dazzling pieces of jewellery on the tray.
The matchmaker's eyes were blinded by the light!
Fu Zhaoning was also confused. This was the marriage she wanted to have, but she had never expected that this series of actions would take place after entering Prince Jun's Mansion.
She thought that after entering the palace, she would be taken before Prince Jun immediately, and first treat him, and then have a calm and objective negotiation with him.
What the hell is Prince Jun doing?
Just as she was dizzy and disoriented, she was led by two maids to change into her new wedding dress, put on jewelry, and change into a red veil. After she ate something to fill her stomach and rested for a while, the wedding hall was ready.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
"The Queen is here!"
"The Concubine Shu is here!"
Fu Zhaoning was overwhelmed when he heard the shouting outside.
Is she going to meet the ancient emperor right after she came here? Is it necessary to play so big! Is Prince Jun so proud?
"General, the army is here to congratulate you!"
"Marquis Pingyang is here to congratulate you!"
"The Minister of Revenue, the Vice Minister of War, and the Vice Minister of Rites are here to congratulate you!"
Fu Zhaoning's body tilted and she almost fell down. The corners of her mouth twitched. The guests had also arrived! What kind of efficiency is this? !
The matchmaker swallowed nervously. No, her palms were sweating. Originally, the Xiao Palace that Fu Zhaoning was going to marry into already made her feel unattainable, but this Jun Palace——
It was bustling and noisy outside, but the atmosphere in the flower hall was strange. Fu Zhaoning suddenly felt quiet around him.
Just as she felt strange, she heard a deep male voice, "You guys go out first."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The matchmaker's heart was pounding. She was pulled out by Fenxing and Hongzhuo and the door was closed.
Jun Dynasty and Fu Zhaoning walked over.
A hand instantly lifted the red veil, and Fu Zhaoning raised his head quickly and looked at him in astonishment.
She had never expected that, everything had gone according to procedure, but now Prince Jun suddenly came and lifted her veil!
Fu Zhaoning met a pair of eyes as deep as the sea, with long eyebrows reaching his temples, deep starry eyes, a nose like a peak, and lips like pearls.
This man is so handsome!
However, he could only see half of it, as there was a spider-web-like intricate pattern wrapped around half of his face, which instantly made this stunning look a little horrifying.
Seeing this half face in the middle of the night, most people would probably be scared to death. Half handsome, half charming, the charm of a ghost. Is this the reason why Prince Jun never appears in front of people?
She stared at him.
"Why didn't you scream?" Prince Jun was surprised.
He was still thinking that she would be so scared that she would crawl on the ground when she saw his face for the first time. By then, she would definitely regret it and not want to be Princess Jun anymore, right?
But the emperor, empress, and guests were all here. If she changed her mind at this time, she would be committing a serious crime. Without him saying anything, the emperor would feel he was being fooled and would directly order her to be punished.
Who knew she would stare at his face so intently?
"Are you looking at me because I'm scared?" Fu Zhaoning asked back, then reached out his hand towards his face, and his fingers touched the terrifying, twisted scar.
The doctor reacted subconsciously and wanted to see what the scar was.
“Bold!!”
Prince Jun was shocked, and he slapped her hand away and took a step back. But because he was too shocked, he was so angry that he couldn't help but cough violently.
“Cough cough cough…”
Fu Zhaoning stood up, grabbed his wrist, and took his pulse with three fingers.
"I'll treat you, but no matter what you plan to do today, even if the emperor comes, you can't ruin my marriage! Anyway, I will definitely stay in Prince Jun's mansion until the day of my return!"
She had already seen that Prince Jun had other plans, but she refused to cooperate!
"Fu Zhaoning, no one in the Fu family studies medicine. I advise you not to... cough cough cough!"
There was a sudden dull pain in the palm of his hand, Prince Jun's expression changed, and his coughing stopped instantly!
"See? I know how to treat you, and your physical condition is very complicated. You need a doctor!" Fu Zhaoning let go of her hand, took a step back, raised her chin and looked at him proudly, "Let me be the Princess Jun, and I will treat you. We will both get what we need!"
Prince Jun was extremely surprised.
He had been suppressing his cough with his extraordinary willpower today, but even if he didn't cough he would still feel uncomfortable, with a stuffy pain in his chest and an itchy throat, but now the pain has eased!
Just as Prince Jun was about to speak, a proud voice rang out from outside the door, "The Queen has ordered Fu Zhaoning to come over and talk!"
"Bang!!"
The door was kicked open and two maids rushed in. They shouted coldly before they could see clearly.
"We are ordered to slap Fu Zhaoning in the face!"
The two maids rushed towards Fu Zhaoning at full speed, and it was obvious that they wanted to hold her down and slap her hard right away!
Fu Zhaoning turned around and instantly hid behind Prince Jun, poking his lower back with his fingers.
Before Prince Jun could react to her shameless behavior, the two maids had already rushed in front of him and slapped him with their hands.
"presumptuous!"
Prince Jun gave a deep scolding and kicked him.
With a bang, a maid was kicked over and fell heavily to the ground, knocking out one of her front teeth.
Two figures rushed in from outside, one stood in front of Prince Jun, and the other slapped the other maid away with one palm.
It all happened in a flash. From beginning to end, the two maids had not seen Prince Jun's face clearly. They only saw Fu Zhaoning hiding behind this man.
