Chapter 222: Drinking the Wedding Wine, Trusting the Wrong Person
Ji Qingwu held his elder sister's arm, his eyes sparkling.
"Madam, please be at ease. My elder sister will give birth in my clinic, so there will be no dystocia at all."
Ji Qingrong smiled dotingly and said, "I know you are capable. I feel at ease with you around."
Cui was just about to ask Ji Qingwu where his confidence came from.
He suddenly thought of the good things he had done. Ji Wu could even save a woman's damaged body. Who knows, he might really be able to do it.
Cui was forced to swallow the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
At this time, a large family came to the door.
Cui looked carefully and quickly stood up and said, "Second daughter-in-law, come with me to greet him."
Feng Shuang followed her, and there were only two of them left at the table. Ji Qingrong's back relaxed a little.
Ji Qingwu turned his head and followed the direction they were coming from. He saw that the people coming were Yingyan from the Wei family, led by the solemnly dressed Madam Wei.
Cui was much warmer to the unrelated girl from the Wei family than to her own wife.
Because of her elder sister who passed away earlier, Cui hated the Ji family so much that she only regarded the enemies of her enemies as allies. Madam Wei was lukewarm towards Cui.
Ji Qingrong glanced at it as if it was nothing unusual, then turned his head away indifferently and started talking about other things.
"Fifth sister, there is something I want to ask you."
Ji Qingwu went over everything that had happened in the past few days in his mind and found that there were a lot of things. He wondered which one his elder sister was curious about.
"Big sister, ask."
Ji Qingrong whispered, "You and Wei Ting, did you really have that kind of relationship?"
Ji Qingwu coughed dryly and was about to speak when she felt a huge mountain standing behind her, casting a shadow on her.
The man standing behind them replied with a smile: "That's right."
Looking at the man behind her who was as tall as a pine tree but walking silently, Ji Qingrong was speechless.
Ji Qingwu took a deep breath and said, "This person is——"
"My name is Wei Ting, nice to meet you, big sister."
Hearing this name, Ji Qingwu breathed a sigh of relief again.
She told herself that this was at the princess' wedding banquet and many eyes were staring at the Ji family. If she misbehaved, it would make a fool of herself and the Qiao family would also be embarrassed.
Ji Qingwu covered it up with a smile and said, "General Wei is really very familiar with people."
Ji Qingrong had seen Wei Ting before, but only from a distance when they were young.
At that time, he was a gentle and elegant young man from a noble family, and many women had a crush on him. Why did he become such a reckless person now?
Ji Qingrong said: "General Wei, you are joking. I am one year younger than you, how can I be called elder sister?"
Wei Ting's eyes seemed to be fixed on Ji Qingwu. He said, "As far as relatives are concerned, regardless of age, I will follow Qingwu's way of addressing us."
Ji Qingwu clenched his hands into fists under the table.
If she punched Wei Ting in public...
Given how difficult Wei Ting is now, there is no guarantee that he won't be able to get a hold of him and take advantage of him.
never mind!
She couldn't give him this chance.
After all, this was a table for the female members of the family. Under the displeased gaze of the old lady of the Wei family, Wei Ting did not stay for too long.
But it's also eye-catching enough.
Wei Ting ran to Ji Qingwu and said a few words with a smile, which was seen by the ladies of various families in Lin'an City.
Astrology says that Miss Ji will be a hindrance to the royal heir, but Wei Ting still can't let her go. Is this to disobey the Emperor's will? He cannot marry his beloved and is unsuccessful in officialdom. It seems that this king and his minister are really going to become estranged.
The topic at the table now completely revolved around Ji Qingwu and Wei Ting.
Ji Qingwu felt his ears burning, but fortunately the ceremonial officer's shout attracted everyone's attention.
Princess Qingyun and her husband's carriage had already arrived at the door.
The wedding ceremony was elaborate and grand. Princess Qingyun wore a nine-feathered phoenix crown and a wedding dress embroidered with chicks. She was followed by eight boys holding square fans and twenty maids holding palace lanterns.
Li Chengxun was wearing a red robe again. Different from the top scholar robe he wore in the past, the wedding robe he wore today was trimmed with gold and was extremely expensive.
Prince Yong rode along on horseback. He dismounted at the door, walked to the carriage at the back, stretched out his hand, and waited to lead Tao Wanyin down.
Tao Wanyin lifted the car curtain and looked at the hand stretched out in front of her in surprise. She hesitated for a while.
Prince Yong was impatient and urged, "What are you standing there for?"
Then, he took her hand and noticed that her palm was cold. He frowned and said, "Why were you so nervous in the palace just now? The emperor and the queen mother will not eat you."
Tao Wanyin has long known that the Queen Mother disliked her. She had previously done so for the sake of Lord Tao. But now that the Queen Mother was increasingly not hiding her dislike, how could she remain calm?
Princess Qingyun and her husband had already entered the palace amid the noise of the crowd.
Prince Yong looked at their backs and asked, "Do you still remember?"
The topic changed too quickly, Tao Wanyin asked in confusion: "Remember what?"
Prince Yong clenched the hand tightly in his hand and said, "On the day when I married you, I held your hand like this and walked into the palace."
Tao Wanyin paused. She had forgotten that there was a day when they were so close.
Prince Yong observed her reaction and asked with bated breath, "Have you forgotten?"
She said softly, "Your Majesty also knows that is the past. People should always look forward."
After saying this, Tao Wanyin looked at Prince Yong's back as he shook off her hand and walked away angrily.
The hand he had held had become warm, and she placed it on her lower abdomen.
The baby in her belly is her only way out.
The wedding ceremony took place.
Ji Qingwu was also watching with everyone else.
Only then did she know that Li Chengxun only had an old mother left at home, so she specially brought her from Xianyang to Lin'an.
The wedding ceremony only involves a few bows, and no kowtow, because the princess is the monarch and does not need to kneel before her mother-in-law.
When the ceremonial officer shouted, "The ceremony is over!"
Deafening cheers rang out around Ji Qingwu.
The bright red brocade robes on the two were blown by the wind. Next, they had to go to the bridal chamber to perform the wedding ceremony.
Ji Qingrong hadn't been out for a long time. Seeing such a lively scene, she took Ji Qingwu to the new house.
It was a little late when they arrived and there were already quite a few people around.
Tao Wanyin was the prince's consort and the princess's sister-in-law, so she naturally stood at the front. When she saw Ji Qingwu, she immediately waved to her to come over.
Ji Qingrong said, "Qingwu, you go over there. I'm pregnant and I'm afraid of being squeezed, so I'll just watch from the outside."
They were in the room, with Chun Xing protecting him, and Ji Qingwu went to Tao Wanyin.
The whole room was filled with red, except for Ji Qingwu's bright blue, which was very conspicuous in the front row.
Li Chengxun, who was dressed in a wedding gown, took a glance and then looked away.
On the big red bed, the two newlyweds sat, holding the same red silk in their hands.
The red veil was lifted up, and Qingyun's face was full of shame. They drank the wedding wine, and the happy mother-in-law kept saying auspicious words.
Everyone was cheering and clapping, it should have been a lively scene.
But at this moment, Ji Qingwu felt a sense of disappointment in his heart, because Qingyun had entrusted his trust to the wrong person.
After the bridal chamber noise, Li Chengxun was dragged away to drink, and everyone else followed him.
Ji Qingwu had already walked to the door, but was called back by the maidservant beside Princess Qingyun.
