The marriage of the fifth prince Leng Xi and the daughter of the censor Yu Shiming was a great joyous event in the court. The ceremony arranged by the Ministry of Rites was only slightly inferior to that of Leng Yu. This was probably because the official positions of Yu Shiming and Liu Dechang were also quite different!
Today was a sunny day with clear skies. The streets of the capital were particularly lively. Citizens who came to watch the fun lined up from the Censorate's Mansion all the way to Prince Xi's Mansion. After getting Luo Lan's permission, Acai, Ahong, and several little girls from Prince Yu's Mansion also came out to watch the fun.
Although Yu Qiaoqiao was unwilling while sitting in the bridal sedan, she still calmly accepted the marriage.
In fact, only she herself knew that the person she liked in her heart was Leng Yu, but Leng Yu already had someone in his heart, so she could only secretly hide this shameful feeling in her heart.
Sometimes when she thinks about it, marrying Leng Xi is also a good choice. However, Leng Xi, who has always been cheerful and smiling, is cold and indifferent when facing her, which makes her feel very puzzled.
She could only pray secretly in her heart, hoping that Leng Xi's attitude towards her would change after she got married!
Leng Xi, dressed in a dark red wedding dress, rode on a maroon horse with a big red flower on its head. With a calm expression, he led the wedding procession and slowly walked towards Prince Xi's Mansion.
There was no surprise or joy on his face, and no one could tell what he was thinking. However, the red ribbon on his hair crown was particularly eye-catching in the wind.
Seeing them coming, the people began to whisper,
"What a match made in heaven! Prince Yu married General Liu's daughter, and they're in love now. Now Prince Xi is marrying Lord Yu's daughter. They're sure to set an example for the people of Daning. Tsk tsk tsk... They're truly enviable."
"Who says it isn't true? The Fifth Prince has been alone for all these years. I heard that he has long had feelings for the young lady. Now he has finally got her. This is truly a happy event."
"Miss Yu is beautiful, and the Fifth Prince is charming and suave. If they were to marry, they would truly be a match made in heaven."
“…”
Listening to the whispers of these people, Long Xiaomin, who had just sneaked away from Quancheng to the capital, was stunned. Standing in the crowd, she felt like she was in a dream.
No……
That's not the case.
Leng Xi promised to marry her, so why did he marry someone else now?
She didn't believe it, she squeezed her eyes shut tightly, thinking she must be seeing things, it must be...
But when she opened her eyes again and looked carefully, the man riding on the tall horse and wearing a red wedding dress was Leng Xi, whom she had been thinking about day and night.
For Leng Xi, she fought against her father by not eating, drinking, sleeping or talking, and finally she found a chance to escape. However, what she saw was a result that she could not believe.
The moment her tears rolled down her cheeks, she rushed to the front of the team like a madman, opened her arms, and blocked the way of Leng Xi and others.
The moment he saw Long Xiaomin, Leng Xi was stunned. He just looked at her like that, with a strange look in his eyes, but his eyes were already filled with tears.
Long Xiaomin also stared at him intently, her dirty face covered with tear marks. She had a bumpy journey, and in order to avoid being discovered by the people in Longwu Villa, she hid from place to place and ran to the capital.
Along the way, she had been treated like a beggar and bullied, but she didn't care. She only wanted to find the man she loved, throw herself into his arms, and tell him about her grievances. He would surely rub his head in pain and scold himself for being so stupid...
But why did everything change? The man who had promised to treat her well for the rest of her life, the man who had promised to marry her, had married someone else? And without even a single word to her?
Ten thousand questions exploded in Long Xiaomin's head, making her feel as if her heart was being cut by a knife.
She wanted to know clearly, she wanted Leng Xi to tell her in person why.
She moved her lips and bit her lip and asked, "Why?"
Leng Xi just looked at her with a cold face. Even though the corners of his eyes were red, his face was still calm as if he didn't recognize her.
At this time, two officers and soldiers rushed over, pointing at Long Xiaomin and shouting:
"Where did this crazy woman come from? Go away..."
Long Xiaomin didn't move. She just looked at Leng Xi. She appeared calm on the surface, but her heart was aching like a knife.
"Did you hear that? Go away now. Today is Prince Xi's wedding day. Don't make trouble here."
Seeing that she didn't move, Leng Yu realized something was wrong and whispered to the people around him:
"Go and have a look..."
Xiao Lingzi quickly walked up to Long Xiaomin and asked softly:
"Miss Long, why are you here? If you have something to say, don't say it here. There are so many people watching us."
Long Xiaomin suddenly grinned, and her smile was miserable.
She looked at Leng Xi, gnashing her teeth and asking in a cold voice, word by word:
"I just wanted to ask,"
"Where is the man who made a promise to me?"
"Where is the man who promised to come back to me?"
"Where is the man who promised to marry me?"
Her questions were so resounding that the confused people began to talk about it. Leng Xi, who was riding on horseback, looked at her. He wanted to go up to her and explain, but he knew that in such a situation, he could not explain at all and his explanation would not make sense.
He had no choice. If he didn't marry Yu Qiaoqiao, his father would not allow him to marry Long Xiaomin. On the contrary, if he angered his father, his status in his father's heart would plummet.
In order to fulfill his plan, he decided to marry Yu Qiaoqiao first, and then go to Xiao Min to explain. He wanted to tell her that one day, when he ascended the throne, no one would be able to stop him, and at that time he would do everything he could to make Xiao Min his queen.
But...but he didn't expect Xiao Min to appear suddenly, and see him marrying another woman in a wedding gown with her own eyes.
Seeing that Long Xiaomin was a little excited, Xiao Lingzi winked at Acai and Ahong who were watching the excitement in the crowd. The two of them ran directly to Long Xiaomin and explained to Leng Xi:
"Prince Xi, please calm down. This is my sister. She's not very smart and has disrupted Prince Xi's wedding. We sisters apologize to you and we will take her back now."
After saying that, Acai and Ahong pulled Xiaomin, who was unwilling to give up, and walked towards the crowd.
Long Xiaomin didn't struggle. She just stared blankly at Leng Xi. She knew she wouldn't get an explanation from him. Even if she did, what would be the point? He had already betrayed their vows. In the face of the facts, any explanation seemed pale and powerless.
Looking at her desperate eyes, two lines of tears rolled down Leng Xi's eyes. He bit his lip and waved his hand, and the wedding procession moved forward again.
Long Xiaomin just watched her beloved man, wearing a bright red wedding dress, marrying another woman in a large sedan chair, passing by her in a blatant manner, without a trace of attachment to her.
