At the entrance, the servants and ministers of the Imperial Household Department all looked at Fei Yanggu. Today was a day of calamity for the Fourth Prince. Would Fei Yanggu, who was obsessed with his daughter, spare the Fourth Prince?
The families of the first three wives were not so bold as to allow the princes to be married in the same way as ordinary people, and to have their brothers-in-law personally make things difficult for them.
Before leaving the palace, when he bowed to Emperor Kangxi and Consort Tong, the sympathetic looks they gave him made Yin feel extremely uncomfortable.
He respectfully bowed to Fei Yanggu, the father-in-law and son-in-law. This man was different from the other princes' fathers-in-law; he was one of Kangxi's confidants and was entitled to receive such a greeting.
Representatives from the Dong'e family also arrived. Seeing Fei Yanggu receive the full courtesy from Yin Quan, they felt even more resentful.
"Fourth Prince, I entrust Qingyan to you. I hope you can keep your promise!" Fei Yanggu demanded that Yin make a promise.
Many court officials came to congratulate him following Kangxi's instructions. They found that Fei Yanggu's attitude towards Yin was merely that of a typical father-in-law and son-in-law, without any respect due to Yin's status as a prince. Compared to the in-laws of the previous three princes, Fei Yanggu clearly did not take Yin seriously.
"Rest assured, I swear to the Eternal Heaven that Aisin Gioro Yin will protect Qingyan with my entire life. If I break this oath, may I incur the wrath of both gods and men." Yin did not care what punishment he would receive for breaking his oath.
Many socialites stood at the second gate. They knew of Yin's vow and all came to the second gate hoping to see him. They also had a dream in their hearts: Yin was handsome, rich, and tall, yet so devoted.
After exchanging glances, Eshuo and Saito found that the other was very satisfied. The Manchus valued oaths, and Yin's oath made Feiyanggu and his two sons feel more at ease.
“My lord, if we don’t welcome the bride soon, we’ll miss the auspicious time.” Fei Yanggu handed over the red envelope that was supposed to be given to Yin before he dismounted.
Yin was speechless; he had thought Fei Yanggu wasn't going to give it to him.
"Su Peisheng!" Yin did not want to give Qingyan a royal wedding. In terms of the wedding ceremony, he followed many of the customs of ordinary people. He took the meat prepared by the imperial kitchen from Su Peisheng.
E Shuo pursed his lips and turned to walk towards the inner bedroom.
As he entered, he saw Qingyan sitting gracefully on the bed with light makeup. E'shuo thought of his younger sister, whom he had always protected, who was now getting married.
"Ah Hun..." Qingyan didn't care about the rules. Jue Luo had just been crying for a while, and Qingyan felt heartbroken.
"Little darling, if Sisi bullies you in the future, Ah Hun will help you." E Shuo's eyes were slightly red. He wanted to take his younger sister with him when he got married, but he didn't want to bear this heavy burden.
Qingyan was lifted up horizontally by E Shuo, who secretly slipped two small purses into her hands.
After leaving the inner chamber, E'shuo, through the bright yellow veil, leaned close to her ear and whispered something.
"Little darling, Ah Hun and his men are secretly doing business overseas. Don't worry, they won't run out of money." Eshuo and Saito secretly prepared ships for Feiyanggu, and let the experienced seafarers start doing sea transport business.
"Ah Hun, be careful. After I leave, you will be in charge of the Yue Lai Inn business!" The manager trained by Qingyan will not betray us, and the Ulanara family mansion still needs a master to check on it at any time.
“Okay!” E Shuo carried Qingyan to the front door, her eyes looking down slightly, surrounded by official boots.
E'shuo's eyes lit up when he saw Yin, but after hesitating for a moment, he still handed Qingyan over to Yin.
"Fourth Master, I'm entrusting my sister to you." E'shuo's face darkened as he watched Xiao Guai move from his arms to Yin'an's side.
Yin smiled bitterly. Fei Yanggu and his two sons were worried about Xiao Guai entering the palace. Before, they had tried to find out about her through various channels, almost three times a day.
He gently placed her inside. Four Akhal-Teke horses were parked in front. The sedan chair was a modified carriage, surrounded by golden yellow. The top of the carriage was tied with a bright red ribbon, and a bright yellow phoenix was placed at the top.
Yin mounted his horse and slowly rode away in the sedan chair with Xiao Guai. Fei Yanggu watched the sedan chair leave, holding a copper basin, reluctant to spill the water.
"Father, we must splash water, otherwise it will be bad luck for Xiao Guai!" E Shuo didn't want Xiao Guai to have any trouble because of these things. "We understand in our hearts, Xiao Guai is still our precious treasure even when she gets married!"
At the urging of his two sons, Fiyangu splashed water on the ceremonial guard.
“Xiao Guai is still my daughter!” he said in a hoarse voice.
The court officials all knew that Fei Yanggu was a doting father to his daughter, and that he wouldn't reward her for what happened at Qingyan's place, so they all sympathized with Yin.
At this moment, many people flocked to both sides of the street. The main road was surrounded by bright yellow curtains, so the people outside could not see what was inside. However, they could see the majesty of the procession through the gaps under the curtains.
At the very front of the procession was the Plain White Banner carried by the Imperial Guards, followed by nine pairs of palace maids carrying palace lanterns. Yin sat on a black warhorse, dressed in a golden prince's everyday robe with a large red corsage tied to his chest. Behind him were twelve pairs of groomsmen on warhorses, all of whom were members of the imperial clan carefully selected by Yin.
Leading the group was Yarjianga, the eldest son of Prince Zheng. In his previous life, Yin had stripped Yarjianga of his princely title. However, this iron-capped prince had colluded with Yin. Yarjianga was quite capable. After his rebirth, Yin began to befriend Yarjianga. This time, he defeated several sons of iron-capped princes and became the representative.
Yarjianga had attended many royal weddings, including the weddings of the three princes, but none could compare to the wedding of the fourth prince.
The twenty-four groomsmen were mostly the best of the imperial family, and the bannermen included the commander of the Plain White Banner, who were essentially Yin's servants.
Furthermore, regarding the carriages used for the Qing banquet, Emperor Kangxi specially approved the use of golden sedan chairs and four warhorses, which were only used by imperial concubines when entering the palace.
"Baotai, do you want to be part of your wife's family or your husband's family?" Yarjianga looked at Baotai, who was standing to the side. Fuquan was about to stand with Feiyanggu, and Baotai had been spoiling Qingyan since she was a child.
"Hmph, of course I'm on Xiao Guai's side!" Bao Tai will side with Qing Yan.
A few days ago, Xiao Guai, following custom, prepared clothes and drinks for her brothers from her maternal family to bring back to their parents' home. Xiao Guai also prepared these for Fu Quan and others, and even sent gifts to Chang Ning and Long Xi.
Several princes expressed their willingness to treat her as part of their family.
"Pfft!" Yarjianga couldn't help but shed a tear of sympathy for Yin, whose brothers-in-law were all of higher status than the last.
Not to mention Eshuo and Saito, Baotai and others are staunch supporters of Qingyan.
The honor guard slowly entered the Forbidden City. The final part of the dowry prepared by the Ulanara residence for Qingyan had not yet left the Ulanara residence. (To be continued.
