Chapter 432 Can we do something on another day?
Chu Jinyan bent his fingers and tapped the table lightly, thinking about how to destroy this marriage.
“No.” Sheng Xian shook his head: “The Fifth Prince intends to marry the Ninth Princess to Shen Chi.”
Chu Jinyan's cold gaze shot towards Sheng Xian like a sharp blade: "..."
Can you finish speaking at once?
Sheng Xian quickly put on a flattering smile.
Chu Jinyan: "Did Chen Chi agree?"
"He didn't refuse directly, but it seems like he doesn't object," Sheng Xian said.
A prince consort like Chen Chi must have high standards. Looking at the entire Wei Dynasty, is there any woman with a more noble status than the emperor's daughter? There is no saying in this dynasty that a son-in-law cannot be an official, so Chu Ying'er's identity is enough to make Chen Chi's heart beat.
He hesitated because the Ninth Princess's biological mother was demoted from a consort to a concubine, and he was afraid that Chu Ying'er would no longer be favored by the Emperor, and marrying her would become a burden to him.
So Shen Chi needs to wait and see.
As for the Fifth Prince's intention, he also knew it clearly. If the Fifth Prince really had the talent to govern the world and was brave and resourceful, it would not be impossible for the Shen family to support him to compete for that position. But if he was a simple-minded person with no strategy, the Shen family would not sacrifice the lives of the entire clan for him.
"Tell the third brother to send a wedding invitation to the son of Lord Ji from the Imperial Household Department and invite him to the wedding." Chu Jinyan was silent for a while and then gave the order.
Sheng Xian bowed in response.
When Chu Qingyun heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched violently. He stared at Sheng Xian, trying to make a final struggle: "If your master wants to make trouble, can't he change the day?"
"I am here on orders too. Why don't you go and discuss this with my prince yourself, Third Prince?" Sheng Xian said with a smile.
Chu Qingyun choked with anger.
He also knew that what he said was in vain.
"Okay, I get it. Tell Old Eight that that day is my grandfather's wedding day. Tell him not to go too far." Chu Qingyun gritted his teeth.
Sheng Xian cupped his hands, bowed respectfully and said, "I will definitely pass on your message."
The second day of the twelfth lunar month was the day Chen Rujin got married.
The weather was fine, and the winter sun cast mottled shadows through the shaded lattice windows, sprinkling on the ground.
Chen Ruijin's house was filled with joy and laughter.
When Lu Xiang and the other two arrived, Chen Rujin was sitting in front of a bronze mirror putting on makeup. Through the mirror, she looked at the three of them and said, "You're here. Please sit down wherever you want. I can't get up to greet you."
Lu Xiang smiled and said, "No need to greet me. You are the bride today, so you don't have to worry about anything. Congratulations on your wedding. I hope you will accept this small gift for me."
"Thank you." Chen Ruijin said with a smile.
She was wearing a bright red wedding gown with butterfly-shaped sleeves and coral buttons. The hem of the gown was embroidered with beautiful patterns. A priceless white jade pendant was tied with a turquoise silk ribbon and had three-inch long tassels hanging down, which looked stunningly gorgeous.
This wedding dress was carefully made by the needlework bureau at the order of the queen. The material used was the extremely precious gold brocade, which was hard to come by for the concubines in the harem.
The royal concubine is qualified to wear a bright red wedding dress on the wedding day.
Qiao Jingru and Lu Qiao also presented their own gifts to add to Chen Ruijin's makeup.
Then they sat quietly aside, listening to the people in the room talking and laughing.
Today is Chen Ruijin's wedding day. No matter what the young ladies who came here were thinking, they would not cause trouble and embarrass Chen Ruijin at this time.
After putting on makeup, Madam Quanfu combed the bride's hair and then tied her black hair into a bun.
Then the bridesmaid put on the phoenix corona for her. The corona was decorated with large and small pearl flowers with red gems inlaid between them. At the top of the corona was a blooming peony with its stamens still in bloom. A golden phoenix spread its wings and landed on the peony, with a ruby bead in its beak.
The jewels were of gorgeous gold and emerald colours, and the phoenix crown was extraordinarily elegant, filling the room with brilliant light.
Many people looked at him with envy.
"Here he comes, the third prince is here to pick up the bride." Someone shouted outside.
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.
The third prince came in person to pick up the bride?
What is going on?
When he married his first wife, he didn't go to the third imperial concubine's house in person to welcome her.
This shows how much the Third Prince loves Chen Ruijin.
Many people's eyes changed when they looked at Chen Ruijin. This meant that she was going to be favored.
A favored concubine poses a huge threat to the Third Imperial Concubine. Now the Third Prince has no legitimate son. If the concubine gives birth to a eldest son one day, it is not impossible that the concubine will overshadow the Third Imperial Concubine.
The difference between a concubine and a principal wife is really not that big.
Madam Chen was both surprised and happy. She was happy that her daughter was so valued by the Third Prince, and as a mother, she felt relieved. But she was shocked that her daughter was so prominent as soon as she entered the mansion, and the Third Princess would definitely not let it go.
Chen Ruijin listened to the joyful shouts outside, pursed her lips slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her lips, making her even more beautiful and breathtaking.
"Third sister, has it been customary for the prince to personally marry a concubine?" Lu Qiao asked enviously while whispering in Lu Xiang's ear.
Lu Xiang shook his head gently: "I don't know in the past. Anyway, the current princes have never personally welcomed their brides."
Lu Qiao's dark eyes revealed an even more astonished look: "So Concubine Chen is really favored by the Third Prince."
Lu Xiang smiled sweetly.
Maybe. After all, Concubine Yi asked the Empress to marry Chen Rujin to the Third Prince more than once.
He finally managed to marry her, and at least for now it seems that the Third Prince likes Chen Ruijin very much.
But the Third Emperor she knew was a playboy, with the most beauties in his backyard among all the princes. In his previous life, he had participated in the battle for the throne, but in this life he had chosen a side very early.
So Lu Xiang didn't know how long the Third Prince's love for Chen Ruijin would last.
But everyone's emotions are different. Some people love passionately, some are plain but happy, some respect each other and grow old together, and there are hypocrites like Xiao Muheng who are selfish and indifferent.
Even though Chen Ruijin's decision to marry the Third Prince was an impulsive choice after being provoked by the Third Princess, having the Third Prince's care is another kind of happiness.
"The auspicious time has arrived."
The bridesmaid shouted with a smile on her face, then picked up the dragon and phoenix veil and gently covered it with her.
The maid helped Chen Ruijin up.
At this time, the eldest brother, Chen Shuyang, stood at the door, with a gentle smile on his handsome face: "Fourth sister, I will marry you."
Chen Ruijin didn't say anything and just nodded slightly.
From the moment the bridal veil is put on the bride until she enters the bridal chamber, she should not speak again.
Chen Shuyang walked up to Chen Ruijin, turned around and squatted.
Chen Ruijin lay behind him and was carried out by her elder brother.
Mrs. Chen wiped away her tears, feeling reluctant to let go of her beloved daughter.
Chen Ruyu held her mother's hand obediently and said in a sweet voice: "Today is a good day for Fourth Sister. Don't cry, Mother. Fourth Brother-in-law will definitely love Fourth Sister well."
"I'm happy to see your fourth sister getting married." Mrs. Chen smiled with red eyes.
Chen Ruyu smiled slightly, her smile was innocent and naive: "My daughter is happy too, mother, let's go to the front yard quickly, the fourth sister wants to say goodbye to you and father."
Mrs. Chen: "Okay."
