Chapter 601 Wedding
Following the King of England's instructions, a large notice was posted at the entrance of Liuguang Pavilion, stating that the story of Xie Chuxue drugging was completely false, and emphasizing that the food in Liuguang Pavilion was very clean and there was absolutely no problem!
There are crowds of guests in Liuguang Pavilion every day, most of whom are high-ranking officials and dignitaries.
After the notice was posted, not only ordinary people but even the wealthy and powerful families knew about it.
It turned out that Xie Chuxue fainted in Liuguang Pavilion that day not because she was drugged, but because she deliberately acted to deceive people.
To put it bluntly, she is scheming and has no self-respect!
Before, for various reasons, Xie Chuxue became famous in Shengjing City. Many people praised her for her fairy-like appearance, and many literati and scholars also wrote poems for her, praising her to the heavens and on earth.
Now when people mention her, they will smile with a meaningful smile.
Especially those ladies who had nothing to do all day and loved to visit each other and gossip, all laughed at Xie Chuxue in private.
"So what if she's pretty? She's got bad behavior and a cunning mind. Which decent family would dare to marry a girl like this?!"
"You dared to throw yourself at the King of England in front of so many people. Tsk tsk, you still call yourself a fairy? Don't bring shame to the fairies in the sky!"
"At first I thought she was just a pretentious person, but people outside praised her to bits, and even my youngest son was fascinated by her.
If I say anything bad about her, my little son will get angry with me.
Now that her true identity has been exposed, my youngest son still refuses to give up and insists on running to Liuguang Pavilion to get to the bottom of things.
As a result, Liuguang Pavilion had solid evidence and witnesses, and Jingzhao Prefecture also helped to testify.
My youngest son couldn't find any reason to refute his argument, so he could only run back to me crying.
Said he would never trust those beautiful women out there again."
When we talked about this, everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud.
…
After Xie Chuxue found out about these things, she was so angry that she smashed several cups, and the maids were so scared that they hunched their shoulders and dared not even breathe.
When she had almost vented her anger, a maid bravely stepped forward to persuade her.
"Miss, don't be angry. Wait until this storm passes and everything will be fine."
Xie Chuxue ignored the maid's dissuasion and ran directly to find King Xiling.
Prince Xiling has been in better spirits recently and can walk around, but his complexion is still not very good, he is much thinner than before, and looks sickly.
He was listening to an opera, and when he saw Xie Chuxue coming, he said with a smile.
"You've come just in time. The play has just begun. Let's sit down and watch it together."
Xie Chuxue sat down next to him and spoke in a low voice.
"Father, weren't you hesitant about when to start? I think the tenth day of June would be a good date."
King Xiling glanced at her and asked: "Why choose this day?"
"Because that day is a good day. The King of England will get married on that day. His wedding will definitely be held in a grand manner. By then, everyone will focus on his wedding and no one will care about us."
King Xiling calculated the time and felt that the tenth day of June was just right, so he agreed to the matter.
"Let's do as you say."
Xie Chuxue raised the corners of her mouth and smiled sweetly.
Luo Yechen and Bu Shengyan ruined her reputation and made her lose face in front of outsiders.
She turned their wedding into a funeral!
…
Because of the prince's reminder, Luo Yechen hasn't gone out much recently.
He stayed in the palace all day, busy preparing for the wedding.
Ten days passed in a flash.
Today, Luo Yechen got up very early.
He changed into a solemn black robe with wide sleeves, with bright red auspicious cloud patterns on the collar and cuffs, a jade belt around his waist, and large and small ribbons and jade pendants that represented his status.
The palace steward held the dark black crown in both hands and carefully put it on the King of England.
Two black ribbons with red coral beads hung down from her ears.
Luo Yechen was born tall and handsome, and now after being dressed up like this, he looked even more elegant and dignified, with the kind of elegance that was born into a royal family.
As Luo Yechen's maternal family, the Gao family was the first group of guests to come to the King of England's palace to express congratulations with generous gifts.
Next came some relatives of the royal family, as well as the princes and princesses.
The noble families in the capital and the officials in the court all arrived.
The singing of “yes” came one after another.
Gifts were sent to the palace like a stream.
As the number of guests increased, the British palace became more and more lively.
The same situation was happening in the Dingbei Marquis Mansion.
The relatives and friends of Dingbei Hou came to congratulate him with generous gifts and auspicious words as if they were free.
Marquis Dingbei, who had been depressed since returning home with a serious injury and disability, was grinning from ear to ear today.
He walked back and forth with a cane, greeting the guests enthusiastically.
Because Marquis Dingbei was born a military general, his close colleagues were also military generals. Each one of them was very heroic and spoke louder than the other.
When this group of people got together, their laughter was almost enough to blow the roof off.
Bu Shengyan's mother is no longer with us, and her only aunt has remarried.
The person who is now responsible for dressing her up is a highly respected aunt in the clan.
Her aunt helped her comb her hair, put a heavy red gold phoenix crown on her head, and placed a small and exquisite red peony on her forehead.
The ruby earrings between her ears swayed gently, making her skin look even whiter.
My aunt originally wanted to put rouge on her, but when she saw the faint blush on her cheeks, she couldn't help but smile.
"You look good now. If you put on rouge, you'll look vulgar. You're fine like this now."
Bu Shengyan raised her red lips: "Thank you, auntie."
She took out a pair of jade bracelets from her jewelry box.
This was the dowry her grandmother gave to her mother, and her mother left it to her.
Bu Shengyan put it on her wrist.
She gently stroked the jade bracelet and thought silently, "Mom, can you see me in heaven? I'm going to get married soon. I will live a good life, don't worry."
In the palace.
The emperor reclined on the couch.
The wounds on his body had scabbed over, but for some reason he still wasn't in a good mood and had no appetite no matter what he ate.
Concubine Hui knelt beside the couch and served him medicine.
The emperor asked, "Today is Yechen's wedding day. I should have gone to see it, but unfortunately my health is not good enough and I cannot leave the palace."
Concubine Hui thought, that’s right!
If the emperor had not been ill and it happened to be her turn to attend to him today, she would have left the palace to arrange her son's wedding long ago.
She advised gently, "Your Majesty, don't be too disappointed. The King of England's wedding is being arranged by the Ministry of Rites, and his uncles and aunts are also helping, so there shouldn't be any problems. The most important thing for you now is to take good care of your health and get well soon. Only when you are healthy and well can the King of England rest assured."
The emperor sighed and said, "I don't know when my body will recover."
Just at this time the imperial physician came to take his pulse.
The emperor called the imperial physician to his side and asked with a frown.
"My injury is almost healed, isn't it? Why do I still have no strength? Are you guys treating me seriously?"
