Chapter 433: Either Bumped or Fell
In the front yard, Chen Hanlin and Madam Chen sat in the main seats. The Third Prince and Chen Rujin stood side by side. In front of Chen Rujin was a futon. The bridesmaid stood by and shouted, "The bride bids farewell to her parents."
Chen Ruijin knelt down and kowtowed three times.
"Don't worry, father-in-law and mother-in-law. I will treat Jin'er like a treasure and love her with love and care." The third prince bowed to Chen Hanlin and Madam Chen and made the promise with a serious face.
Chen Hanlin turned his head and secretly wiped away his tears. Madam Chen looked at the beautiful couple in front of her with joy and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, Jin'er is naughty, I hope Your Highness will be more tolerant in the future, go."
Chen Ruijin, under the wedding veil, listened to her mother's voice and her eyes suddenly became sore.
The bridesmaid helped her up, and then Chen Shuyang carried her into the bridal sedan.
Everyone gathered at the gate. The third prince mounted his horse, looked back at the wedding sedan and the wedding procession behind him, then drove away with a smile on his face, heading towards his own residence.
Gongs and drums were beating in the sky, and behind the sedan chair were boxes of dowry being carried by people.
Mahogany boxes tied with red silk passed by the people, and some people counted them curiously.
"Oh my god, there are a total of 108 loads of dowry."
"The Chen family is really generous."
"I heard that it's because we can't go beyond the original regulations of the Three Imperial Concubines, otherwise there will be more."
Watching the wedding procession gradually go away, many officials and their wives said goodbye to Chen Hanlin and Madam Chen, as they were going to the Third Prince's Palace to watch the ceremony.
Some relatives of the Chen family and guests who were not invited to the Third Prince's Mansion stayed in the Chen Mansion to attend the wedding banquet.
Suddenly, a cry of surprise was heard.
When everyone looked in the direction of the sound, they saw a pretty girl who had somehow fallen to the ground on all fours.
"Sixth sister." Qiao Jingru exclaimed and quickly pulled Lu Qiao up: "Are you okay?"
Lu Xiang hurried over and asked with concern: "Why did you fall?"
Lu Qiao was in so much pain that tears came out of her eyes. Upon hearing this, her beautiful eyes glared at the culprit Chen Shuan, but she quickly looked away, not wanting to cause any more trouble.
Why is it this person again?
She must have had a grudge against him in her previous life, so every time she saw him she either bumped into him or fell down.
Next time, I might even lose my life.
Chen Shuan looked embarrassed. He bowed to Lu Qiao in front of everyone and apologized, "I'm sorry, young lady. I was distracted by my sister's wedding and accidentally tripped you. I'm so sorry."
The sadness of Chen Hanlin and Mrs. Chen over their daughter's marriage was instantly dispelled by their youngest son's interference.
"When will you be more steady?" Mrs. Chen glared at Chen Shuan unhappily, then looked at Lu Qiao tenderly, "Miss Lu, are you hurt anywhere? Come in quickly, I'll call the doctor to take a look."
"Thank you for your concern, Mrs. Chen. I'm fine. There's no need to call a doctor." Lu Qiao quickly shook her head.
Today is a good day for the Chen family to marry off their daughter, so it would be inappropriate to call a doctor.
Besides, since Mrs. Chen had already said so, she couldn't keep harping on it.
Considering that Chen Shuan had a good attitude in admitting his mistake today, she was no longer angry.
"Are you really okay?" Mrs. Chen asked worriedly.
Lu Qiao smiled sweetly and said, "Well, it's just that my dress is dirty. I can just go back to the carriage and change." Then, she looked at Lu Xiang and said, "Third sister, let's go to the Third Prince's Mansion to watch the ceremony. If we're any later, we'll miss the auspicious time."
Lu Xiang nodded and said goodbye to Madam Chen.
After getting on the carriage, Lu Qiao's smiling eyes suddenly narrowed and her brows were tightly furrowed.
"Are you hurt?" Lu Xiang asked.
Lu Qiao curled her lips and nodded with a look of grievance. She slowly lifted her skirt, revealing her snow-white skin. Her knees were now blue and purple, and some of the skin was broken.
"Let's go to the clinic." Qiao Jingru said.
"Sister-in-law, please go later. I told Madam Chen that everything is fine. If you don't go to the Third Prince's Mansion to watch the ceremony, it will be easy to be exposed. I just feel a little pain, and it will be fine after a while." Lu Qiao thought for a while and shook her head.
When Concubine Chen asks about it, it would be bad if she misunderstood that I was angry and refused to go because of such a small matter.
Lu Xiang looked at Lu Qiao and said, "Explain to Concubine Chen that she is not an unreasonable person."
"It's too conspicuous. I'll just sit down and not walk around." Lu Qiao said.
After hearing what Lu Xiang and Qiao Jingru said, they agreed with Lu Qiao.
When the three arrived, a newlywed couple had just been welcomed into the main hall.
When marrying a concubine, there is no need to worship heaven and earth, but one needs to offer tea and kowtow to the wife, and then greet the guests. After that, the eunuch who delivers the decree will read out the imperial edict that Chen Rujin is to be named a concubine, and give her a jade tablet, thus announcing to the world that she is the royal concubine.
The Third Imperial Concubine sat on the main seat with an elegant smile on her face, but if you looked closely, you could see the ice in her eyes. If it weren't for her status, she would have wanted to pounce on Chen Ruijin and scratch her face.
This bitch actually seduced the Third Prince here and even lowered her status to go to the Chen Mansion in person to pick him up.
She had never received such treatment when she got married.
Chen Rujin is just a concubine.
Although there is no clear rule that concubines cannot wear bright red wedding dresses, doesn't Chen Ruijin know her own identity at all? She wears it with a clear conscience, showing no regard for the main wife.
"Please invite the Third Princess to have tea." The smile on the bridesmaid's face was a little hard to maintain, but she forced herself to speak again.
The Third Princess suddenly came back to her senses and found that the guests' eyes on her had changed.
The look that the Third Prince cast upon her was fierce and contained a hint of anger.
He was obviously unhappy because the Third Imperial Concubine was distracted.
The Third Imperial Concubine felt annoyed, but she didn't dare to act recklessly at this moment. She could only take the teacup raised by Chen Ruijin with a forced smile and took a symbolic sip.
"Send her to the bridal chamber." When the bridesmaid saw the Third Concubine drinking the tea, she shouted hurriedly, fearing that if she was a step slower, something might go wrong.
The third prince's cold eyes softened instantly. Holding one end of the red silk, he led Chen Ruijin to the bridal chamber.
He had the courtyard renovated, and it was far away from the main courtyard of the three imperial concubines, one to the east and the other to the west.
Entering the bridal chamber, lifting the veil, drinking the wedding wine, after a series of procedures were completed, the Third Prince was dragged away before he had time to speak to Chen Ruijin.
The third prince left, but Chu Pan'er and Chu Ying'er stayed.
Without the veil covering her face, Chen Ruijin looked at the royal relatives and nobles who stayed in the room and invited them to sit down in a graceful manner.
