"She is so beautiful! No wonder Prince Jingnan wants to marry her..." Everyone who came to their senses couldn't help but praise her.
When the veil flew over, Mu Wenyao subconsciously grabbed it and covered Lin Jing with it naturally.
At this moment, everyone around was shocked: Has the prince forgotten that he is only here to marry on behalf of the bride? He is not the groom, so how can he cover the bride's veil?
"Ahem..." Mu Wenyao also realized that his behavior was inappropriate. He coughed twice awkwardly, quickly let go of his hand, and distanced himself from Lin Jinghan. However, he no longer dared to look at Lin Jinghan with his eyes.
Lin Jinghan breathed a sigh of relief after putting her veil back on. She certainly couldn't put her makeup back on, but she could get the makeup remover from the medical space to remove that strange look without any problem.
After experiencing a series of unexpected events during the wedding procession, there were finally no more problems along the way, and Lin Jinghan successfully sent Lin Lixuan away.
Although there was no groom to pick up the bride, all the necessary procedures for a wedding were followed. With music and dance all the way, they traveled around most of the capital before finally returning to the Prince of Jingnan's Palace in the afternoon.
Lin Jinghan was placed in the bridal chamber, waiting to get married with Prince Jingnan at dusk, but she hadn't been sitting there for long when someone walked in.
The visitor stopped in front of her and spoke as gently as possible, "Sister-in-law, I am Sikong Ling, the younger sister of Sikong Zhan, the Prince of Jingnan. You can call me Ling'er."
"Ling'er..." Lin Jinghan just called out, and Sikong Ling hurriedly took over the conversation:
"Sister-in-law, I'm sure you've heard about my brother's situation. Asking Prince Mu to welcome the bride today is no longer an option. Do you think we can cancel the ceremony?"
The other party's words were so blunt, Lin Jinghan guessed that the Prince of Jingnan was truly ill. However, if they didn't hold a wedding ceremony, the ceremony wouldn't be considered complete, and her position as the princess wouldn't be legitimate. Her future in the Prince of Jingnan's mansion would be worrying...
Seeing that Lin Jinghan didn't speak for a long time, Sikong Ling didn't feel dissatisfied, but said with a little annoyance: "Sister-in-law, if it really doesn't work, I'll think of another way."
A solution? What could Sikong Ling come up with in this situation? Let Mu Wenyao marry on her behalf? That was impossible. Even if the Jingnan Palace agreed, she herself would not agree! Could it be, like in the storybook, to find a rooster? No, she absolutely could not accept it!
There really was no good solution at the moment, and Lin Jinghan didn't want to embarrass the woman in front of her. She didn't care about the wedding anyway, so she just forgot about it.
"No need. Your Highness's situation is special. We don't need to stick to these etiquettes." Lin Jinghan stood up, took off her veil herself, and looked at the woman opposite.
The woman in front of him was different from other girls in the boudoir. She didn't wear a flowing dress with wide sleeves like other girls, but a tight-fitting dress with narrow sleeves similar to a riding outfit. She looked very capable. Her eyes lacked the gentleness of a girl and had more of the firmness of a man. Her every move was heroic. If she changed into men's clothes, I wonder how many girls in the boudoir would be charmed by her.
But the fatigue that could not be concealed between her brows made people feel inexplicably distressed.
This made Lin Jinghan feel good about her, and she smiled more amiably.
"That's great, thank you for your understanding!" Sikong Ling breathed a sigh of relief. "Sister-in-law, I'll go send the guests in the front yard first. You should have a good rest."
Everyone was relieved that they didn't need to hold a wedding ceremony, except for Mu Wenyao, who felt a little regretful. Sikong Zhan was too stingy. He had already asked him to help with the wedding reception, and now he wanted to help with the wedding ceremony. It was just a simple task, but he would rather not let the bride hold the wedding ceremony than let him help! He was really destroying the bridge after crossing it!
Knowing that no groom would come, Lin Jinghan felt relieved and asked the servants to help her take off the phoenix crown. When she was about to change out of her heavy wedding dress, the housekeeper knocked on the door of the bridal chamber and walked in after getting Lin Jinghan's consent.
"Princess, I'm Lu Yuan, the housekeeper of the palace. The prince is not feeling well and cannot get married, so I have to inconvenience you today. However, the prince has ordered that you will be the mistress of the palace from now on, and everyone in the palace will be under your command." The housekeeper bowed respectfully to Lin Jinghan.
From what the housekeeper said, it seemed that the palace recognized her as the princess. Although Lin Jinghan didn't care what these people thought of her, who would be willing to compromise themselves if they could live a better life?
Furthermore, judging from the situation, the Prince of Jingnan must be really ill. No wonder the eldest princess didn't want her daughter to marry into the family and asked her to make up the number.
Being sick is just right. It would be best if she could die of it. Then she could be a widow in good faith. No one would ask her to marry again. She could be happy and comfortable alone...
Lin Jinghan's thoughts drifted to her future happy life, but the housekeeper poured a bucket of cold water on her, "Princess, this is the rule of the mansion. Please study it carefully."
The moment she opened the government regulations, Lin Jinghan was completely dumbfounded...
The first rule of the Jingnan Prince's Mansion: If the Jingnan Prince dies, the Jingnan Princess will be buried with him!
This rule of Prince Jingnan's Mansion is known to everyone. Therefore, when the Princess and Prime Minister Lin learned that Prince Jingnan was seriously injured and dying, they were unwilling to let Lin Wanrou marry into the palace. If she married into the palace, she would be buried with the prince, and no one would be happy about that!
However, in order to trick Lin Jinghan into marrying them honestly, they deliberately hid it from her, which is why she only found out about it now...
At this moment, the government rules were like a hot potato in her hand. Lin Jinghan no longer had the mood to read the government rules. She put them down and asked the housekeeper:
"Butler Lu, I wonder when I can see the prince?"
She had to find a way to save the King of Jingnan. Even if she couldn't save him, she had to keep him alive for a few years. She didn't want to be buried with him...
"Well... the prince has instructed that the princess must be tired today, so there is no need to go to see the prince. The princess only needs to fulfill her duties as the mistress of the palace. When the time is right, the prince will see you."
In fact, Prince Jingnan's original words were: "Let her handle all matters in the palace. If she can't handle it well, there is no need to occupy the position of Princess Jingnan."
Sikong Zhan could say this, but the housekeeper could not, so he could only express it in a more tactful way, so tactful that it almost distorted Sikong Zhan's meaning.
Prince Jingnan had just returned from his expedition when he was poisoned and dying. Besides him, the only person left in the palace was his younger sister, Sikong Ling. Sikong Ling had been incredibly busy these days, but the pile of things she needed to deal with, both inside and outside the palace, was piling up.
Therefore, there are a lot of messes that need to be dealt with in the palace, and a lot of people outside that need to be dealt with.
