The Third Prince's Residence.
One carriage after another arrived and stopped not far away.
The masters of each household arrived with congratulatory gifts.
The steward of the Third Prince's residence quickly accepted the gifts, had them registered, and politely invited the guests inside.
Just then, a horse-drawn carriage appeared in the distance.
The coachman was about to lift the curtain to let his master off the carriage when he was stopped by the noise coming from inside.
The man slowly lifted a corner of the curtain, his shimmering black eyes glancing at the Third Prince's doorway.
The scene was as lively as a sea of people.
I wonder what Father Emperor will think when he sees this scene?
Thinking about it, her slender fingers traced across her thin, cool lips, revealing a slight smile.
"Third Prince is truly capable; he actually married the daughter of the General's Mansion." Even though she was an illegitimate daughter, it was still considered a marriage alliance between the Third Prince and the General's Mansion.
Such an honor was something they never dared to dream of, but it turned out to be true for the Third Prince.
Just how much does the Emperor value the Third Prince to bestow such an honor upon him!
As he thought about it, a feeling of hatred welled up in his heart. This hatred was uncontrollable and was about to burst out when suddenly, he saw a familiar carriage arrive and saw that everyone around him was kneeling on the ground, shouting "Long live the Emperor!"
He saw his father, the Emperor, alight from the carriage, with Eunuch Huang beside him, and they swaggered in.
His eyes blazed with fury.
He only married a concubine's daughter from the general's mansion, and he wasn't even allowed to step through the palace gates. How could he possibly alarm the emperor and have him personally officiate the wedding?
Damn it!
Damn it!
Shang Haoxun, you deserve to die!
"Eighth Master!" Jianye, disguised as a coachman, reminded him after seeing the person go inside.
He was genuinely worried that the Eighth Prince causing trouble at this time would not look good.
After all, not long ago, Qiao Yuchen led his men to the Eighth Prince's villa outside the city.
Thinking back to that time, Jianye was also furious.
The Eighth Prince has been living in his fiefdom for years. How dare this illegitimate son of a mere general's mansion, who is not worthy of being mentioned, be so arrogant in front of the Eighth Prince?
It seems they're all relying on the Third Prince.
Thinking about this made him even more resentful.
Fortunately, Jianye knew that this was the capital, not their fiefdom, so they had to be extremely careful in their words and actions.
The carriage curtain was lowered, and there was no sound from inside.
Among the many carriages that came to offer congratulations, this one was not particularly eye-catching. However, when it turned out to be going in the opposite direction, it still attracted the attention of some people.
Just then, the Seventh Prince arrived with his men, and they caught a glimpse of each other as their carriages came into view.
The seventh prince smiled.
They couldn't sit still any longer.
When you're scheming against someone, why don't you think about the consequences?
There aren't many people who dare to mess with Qiao Yuchen and escape unscathed.
Looking back now, it seems that only Chen Siyuan was able to escape unscathed. Even if some people were able to retire safely, the final outcome was not very good.
He doesn't even have his own dignity, let alone that of an eighth prince.
The Seventh Prince arrived.
The Third Prince's steward immediately stepped forward.
The prince's identity was not simple, and he was the seventh prince, so how could he not be careful?
When the Seventh Prince arrived, all the ladies and young women who had just arrived stopped abruptly.
With Qiao Zhen as a precedent, they all thought about how to marry into the royal family.
The impossible has become reality, so what do they have to worry about?
Today's opportunity is to curry favor; who knows, it might even lead to another wonderful story.
The seventh prince didn't even glance at the kneeling crowd and walked straight in.
Upon arrival, they found Eunuch Huang, and after reporting to the Emperor, the Seventh Prince bowed to him.
He originally planned to leave after paying his respects, but the emperor kept him there.
Because of the attention this person is receiving, they can only think about it from where they are, and they don't even have the chance to see it.
......
General's Mansion.
In the lobby.
General Qiao looked at the Third Prince with a livid face.
Today is the wedding day of the Third Prince and Qiao Zhen, which should have been a happy occasion.
General Qiao's expression darkened at the rumors circulating outside and the child blocking the doorway in public.
Even if the other party was the Third Prince, at this moment General Qiao's stubborn temper flared up, and no one could stop him.
Qiao Yuchen wasn't afraid of things escalating and continued to stand by and watch the show.
While others were anxious, he wasn't worried at all.
He felt like he had seen the child sitting next to him somewhere before, but he couldn't quite place him.
Mrs. Qiao noticed that the auspicious time had passed and there was still no sign of him. Later, she heard that he was in the main hall, so she hurried over to check.
I only glanced at it from afar and saw the scene inside. I just felt that the atmosphere was not good. Had something happened again?
Just then, I saw Butler Yu standing at the door.
Butler Yu also saw Madam Qiao and shook his head slightly, indicating that it was best for Madam Qiao not to go over.
Just as Mrs. Qiao was hesitating, Chen Siyuan also felt it was inappropriate.
She always knew that the marriage between the Third Prince and Qiao Zhen wouldn't go smoothly.
He deliberately had Jiang Ma keep an eye on Qiao Zhen while he came over to check on things.
Just then, she saw Madam Qiao standing not far away. Anxious, she didn't see the scene in the hall and instinctively asked, "Mother, it's already this late, why haven't we seen anyone yet?" As soon as she finished speaking, Madam Qiao turned her head to signal, and Chen Siyuan also saw the scene in the hall.
Judging from this situation, things aren't looking good!
Chen Siyuan wasn't worried about that. She moved closer to her mother and asked, "Mother, if this continues, what will happen to Qiao Zhen?"
Mrs. Qiao was also worried that when it came to important matters, her word didn't count.
"Go and check over there first, I'll keep an eye on things here." Madam Qiao was very worried. She had heard that the Emperor and Consort Hua would be presiding over the wedding today, and if she arrived late, she might anger the Emperor, which would not end well.
She was a little angry at this point. What was wrong with General Qiao? How could he put on airs at such a crucial moment?
Chen Siyuan also knew that things were complicated and that she would have to go through a lot if she wanted to get through safely.
After glancing around the lobby, she had no choice but to leave.
Unexpectedly, just as she turned around, a child suddenly ran out of the house, calling out as he ran, "Sister, is that you, sister?"
Just as Chen Siyuan was about to leave, she suddenly heard a familiar voice. She turned around and saw a child rushing towards her.
Before I could even see it clearly, the child had already snatched it away.
“You…” Chen Siyuan opened her arms.
Judging from the child's clothes, he was clearly not an ordinary person. Although his face could not be seen, it was clear that he was someone of importance.
It wouldn't be good if I bumped into something, or got hit, or if I got blamed for it.
Just as she was about to push the other person away, the child looked up and said, "Sister, sister, I've finally found you!" Shang Zizhen said, her eyes reddening.
"Zhen'er—" Chen Siyuan was very surprised to see this child today.
Considering the grand wedding of the Third Prince and Qiao Zhen, it seems normal that they would see this child.
That doesn't make sense either. Right now, the Third Prince is here to marry Qiao Zhen. This child...
Thinking about it, Chen Siyuan looked towards the hall.
They saw the Third Prince in his wedding attire, General Qiao standing bewildered on the steps, and the anger in Qiao Yuchen's eyes.
