Tang Chen lifted up her veil and looked around curiously, "Who is this?"
Wang Yanzhou saw this and first widened his eyes in shock, then hurriedly pushed down Tang Chen's veil: "Cover it up, cover it up, there's no surprise at all!"
Tang Chen refused to give in, still lifting up a corner and asking, "It's not like I haven't seen it before, so tell me, who is this, daring to mess up my game!"
After the people in the distance passed the tables and chairs on the long street and approached with difficulty under the scorching gazes of the guests, Wang Yanzhou arrived: "It's Shangguan Bing'er and Shangguan Xi. Shangguan Xi is Shangguan Bing'er's father."
"oh!"
After Shangguan Xi arrived, Wang Yanzhou stood on the stage and asked condescendingly, "Sir Shangguan, are you honored to attend my wedding banquet?"
Shangguan Xi held the imperial edict in his hand but did not forget the etiquette. He and his entourage kowtowed to Wang Yanzhou and said, "This old minister pays homage to His Majesty."
"No need to be polite."
Shangguan Xi's actions did not seem to cause any waves among the guests, and everyone continued to look at him quietly.
Shangguan Xi glanced disdainfully at the common folk around him and said, "This old minister has come to read out the decree of His Majesty. This marriage cannot be consummated."
Upon hearing this, Tang Chen immediately became furious and completely pulled off her veil. She put her hands on her hips and asked angrily, "Huh? You said you can't do it? Do you want to marry him too?"
Shangguan Xi looked at Tang Chen hesitantly, then bowed to Wang Yanzhou and said, "You, my Lord, this woman's speech and behavior are extremely vulgar. How can she be worthy of the position of princess?"
Tang Chen snorted coldly, then looked at Shangguan Bing'er and said unhappily, "I'm not qualified, but are you? Or is Shangguan Bing'er qualified?"
After she said this, the guests present, as if they had been trained in advance, all looked at Shangguan Bing'er and suddenly started talking. Shangguan Bing'er didn't know what they were talking about, so she could only look at her with a blushing face: "Ms. Tang, Miss Tang..."
Tang Chen was too lazy to argue with these people. After handing the veil to Wang Yanzhou to fix it for him, he ordered, "Come, take a seat, and serve some wine."
At Tang Chen's command, everyone continued to do what they were supposed to do. Another team brought stools and "invited" Shangguan Xi and his group to sit down, and then they all stood guard beside them.
Wang Yanzhou nodded at Ouyang Ming and said, "Brother, continue."
"you!"
Shangguan Xi had just stood up from his chair when Li Xinzhai pushed him back down. "Sir, please sit down for a moment. If you have anything to say, there's no need to rush now."
Seeing these people not giving him any respect at all and really continuing to salute, Shangguan Xi immediately became furious: "Who are you to dare to stop me?"
Li Xinzhai smiled at the newlyweds on the stage, but his tone was cold to the bone: "I'm just a killer without any emotions."
“……!”
Shangguan Xi looked at the man beside him, who had clamped him with just one hand and made him unable to move. He accidentally glanced at the gleaming white knife that was intentionally or unintentionally exposed from the man's sleeve. He could only grit his teeth and look at Li Cheng but could do nothing.
The guests who saw Tang Chen throwing a tantrum naturally began to discuss this Madam Wang, whom they had never met before: "I like Madam Wang's temper!"
"This is impossible! She is a perfect match for the Valley Master!"
Tang Chen lowered his head and tugged at Wang Yanzhou, then chuckled and said, "Your friends are really good at talking. I like it!"
Wang Yanzhou whispered helplessly: "Be quiet, we are getting married."
"oh!"
"The ceremony is over." Qinghe and Ouyang Ming sighed in relief as they spoke. Of course, they couldn't help but grumble. They knew it was a wedding, but they completely ignored all the etiquette, lifting the veil at will and saying whatever they wanted. Having attended so many weddings, they'd never seen one so formal yet so casual.
Tang Chen, having just heard Ouyang Ming declare the ceremony over, abandoned everything else and lifted the veil again. Wang Yanzhou said helplessly, "Why are you doing this again..."
Tang Chen hurriedly explained: "This damn weather is too hot and stuffy!"
Wang Yanzhou held his forehead and said, "Okay, okay, okay, as long as you are happy."
Qinghe really didn't want to stay on the same stage with Tang Chen anymore. It was too conspicuous and he felt a little embarrassed: "Just as long as you two are happy, we can take our seats first."
Tang Chen smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, brother, sister-in-law."
After saying this, Wang Yanzhou thought he could finally follow the procedure and send Tang Chen into the house first. But who knew that he would stuff the veil into his arms, pick up the wine glass and stand on the platform, saying loudly: "Everyone, today I am meeting many of my friends for the first time. From now on, Tang Chen will still rely on you, please!"
The guests had all seen the world, after all. Although this woman's words and actions were out of tune with the world, they still commanded a certain respect. No woman had ever dared to act like this before. In recognition of her courage in challenging conventional wisdom, everyone raised their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp.
Liang Shuyi, who was already seated, held an empty wine glass and looked at Chen Xin in shock, "Ah, there is such a thing?"
Chen Xin smiled, thought for a while and didn't know how to answer, so she decided to eat first: "Uh, eat vegetables."
Liang Shuyi put down the wine glass in his hand, looked at Tang Chen and said, "Don't say it, I really envy her."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xin put down his chopsticks and said, "If you're envious, how about I find an auspicious day and marry you again?"
His serious expression warmed Liang Shuyi's heart. Everyone has their own blessings. As long as she is calm, nothing else matters. "Really? Just eat your food!"
After toasting everyone, Tang Chen first signaled Li Xinzhai to take his hand off his shoulder, then poured a glass of wine for Shangguan Xi and handed it to him with both hands: "Sir Shangguan, whether you like me or not is your business. Whether we can get married or not is a matter between the two of us, and it seems to have nothing to do with you."
Shangguan Xi didn't take the wine. He just glanced at Shangguan Bing'er, who was standing behind him, lowering her head and not daring to speak. Then he said coldly, "The imperial edict is here. Your Highness should have received the emperor's oral instructions not long ago. How dare you disobey the emperor's will!"
Wang Yanzhou looked at the man and couldn't help crying until he saw the coffin. The ceremony was already completed, what else could he do? He was making a scene at his wedding banquet. If he hadn't seen that he was also an old minister from the previous dynasty, he would never have let him be so presumptuous. "In this case, please let Mr. Shangguan show me the imperial edict."
After Shangguan Xi handed the imperial edict to Wang Yanzhou, Wang Yanzhou didn't even take a closer look at it. He directly took a dagger from Li Xinzhai and tore the cloth with the writing on it into pieces.
"......!" When everyone was shocked, Tang Chen suddenly remembered what Baoyu said when Qingwen tore the fan: Tear it well!
