King Ding's Mansion was obviously much more reliable than King Li's Mansion. Qing Yixuan was bustling with noise and excitement when it was only a quarter to nine. Madam Hua and Madam Qin personally covered Ye Li's head with a phoenix brocade veil and helped her to pay her respects to Old Madam Ye, Minister Ye and Madam Xu's memorial tablets.
In this wedding, the most eye-catching thing was naturally the groom, who was originally expected to appear, but absolutely unexpected. A long time ago, many people had secretly guessed who the King's Mansion would invite to escort the bride, but no one thought that Prince Ding would come in person. The road from the gate of Ye's Mansion to King Ding's Mansion was already full of people in the capital who came to watch the fun. Seeing Prince Ding, who was dressed in red, appearing in front of everyone, the commoners couldn't help but recall the young man dressed in embroidered clothes who had galloped on his horse and brandished his whip. They sighed in their hearts. Similarly, the extravagance of Ye's Mansion was also extraordinary. Originally, Ye Rong, the only son of the Ye family, should send his sister out, but it was completely different from when Ye Ying got married. Outside the gate of Ye's Mansion, six handsome and extraordinary men with different characteristics appeared. The leaders were naturally Xu Qingchen and Xu Qingze, followed by Xu Qingfeng and Xu Qingbai, and finally Xu Qingyan and Ye Rong. The young masters of the Xu family were either gentle and elegant, cold and dignified, valiant, or handsome. Even the youngest, Xu Qingyan, was smart and candid. Ye Rong was immediately ignored by everyone. She could only follow Xu Qingyan silently.
The bride walked out of the gate with the help of Hua Tianxiang and Qin Zheng. The phoenix brocade wedding dress shone brightly in the sun and attracted people's amazement again.
This day was undoubtedly the busiest day in the capital. It was unknown whether it was because of the status of King Ding's Mansion or because the guests who came to attend this wedding were too special. Even the Emperor brought the Empress and Empress Dowager to attend the wedding in person. They attended the wedding instead of presiding over the wedding, because the one presiding over the wedding this time was Great Elder Princess Xi Fu, who even the Emperor had to respectfully address as Great Elder Princess. King Ding's Mansion, which had not had any guests for seven or eight years, was full of guests. Great Elder Princess sat high on the throne and chatted with the guests who came to congratulate her. Mo Jingqi and the Empress sat beside Great Elder Princess and talked with her. Although Great Elder Princess had not been involved in worldly affairs for more than 20 years, her dignity as the iron-fisted princess, who was respected by the former Emperor, was still not to be trifled with.
"Your Majesty, Great Elder Princess, the auspicious time has arrived."
The chief steward of the Wang Mansion came in to report, and all the guests in the hall fell silent. Mo Jingqi looked at the gray-haired Great Elder Princess who was still in high spirits and said with a smile, "In that case, salute me. Imperial Grandaunt? "
Xi Fu Great Elder Princess nodded. She stood up and said to everyone, "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, and all the guests, please come with I to watch the ceremony."
The auditorium located in the main hall of the Prince's Mansion had already been properly decorated. Red candles burned high, creating a joyous atmosphere. Great Elder Princess sat high on the main seat, with the Emperor and Empress Dowager sitting on her left and right sides. The rest of the guests were seated according to their respective statuses. Under everyone's gaze, Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li walked into the auditorium surrounded by bridesmaids. They were supposed to be a match made in heaven, but the groom could only sit in a wheelchair, which made many people feel sorry. At the same time, there were even more people who were sighing. If Prince Ding was not in his current state, he would have already married a talented and beautiful woman as his wife. Why would he only marry an unknown daughter from the Minister's residence?
"Prince Ding's legs are inconvenient. Don't you lack sincerity by saluting like this?" A joking voice suddenly sounded in the hall, as if a basin of ice water was suddenly poured into a blazing fire. The whole wedding hall suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked at the source of the voice in surprise. Sitting there were the envoys of various countries who came to watch the ceremony. Among them, a strong young man was staring at Mo Xiuyao with a complacent face. Obviously, the words just now came from his mouth. He clearly did not feel that he was rude. When he saw everyone's gaze converging on him, he became even more presumptuous.
"That is the Eleventh Prince of the Northern Tribes. I heard that he is an idiot. Why would the King of the Northern Tribes send him to Da Chu State? "Ye Li stood quietly beside Mo Xiuyao, hearing the guests' whispers.
"Have you forgotten that the Northern Tribes and King Ding's Manor can be said to have a deep hatred as deep as the sea? Even though they have reconciled with our Great Chu these few years, I'm afraid that they still hold a grudge over the past and purposely sent this idiot here to embarrass King Ding."
"How can the Emperor allow such a person to attend the ceremony …"
"He is the envoy of a country. He came from so far away, how can we not let him attend the ceremony?"
Amidst the discussions, Mo Jingqi looked down and said to the Prince of the Northern Tribes in a clear voice, "Eleventh Prince, our Da Chu State's wedding does not have a kneeling ceremony, so there is nothing inconvenient for Prince Ding." However, the Prince of the Northern Tribes clearly did not intend to name the Emperor of Da Chu State. He furrowed his thick brows and said unhappily in a loud voice, "I have heard of the reputation of the Da Chu State's Prince Ding when I was in the Northern Tribes. Who would have thought that I would see a cripple in a wheelchair today?! Is the Da Chu State's Emperor trying to fool us? "When these words came out, not only Mo Jingqi, but all the officials of the Da Chu State present changed their expressions.
Sitting beside the Prince of the Northern Tribes, Lei Tengfeng, the Crown Prince of Xiling Jhennam Of Gojoseon, coughed lightly and said with a smile, "Eleventh Prince, this is indeed the Da Chu State's Prince Ding. However, Prince Ding met with an accident seven years ago. Today, we are here to attend the ceremony, not to make a scene. Come, let this prince toast you. "The Northern Tribes were barbarians, and this Eleventh Prince was considered a hooligan among them. How could he give up just because Lei Tengfeng urged him to drink? He glanced at Mo Xiuyao and chuckled. "I remember now. Prince Ding's injury seems to have been caused by our Northern Tribes' winged cavalry general. In the past, I always heard the winged cavalry general lamenting to I that he was so close to being captured … "
"Enough!" Princess Xi Fu was so angry that her face had turned black. She no longer cared that the Prince of the Northern Tribes was an envoy from another country. She said coldly, "If the Prince of the Northern Tribes is here to attend the ceremony, then sit quietly. If not, get out! "
The Prince of the Northern Tribes was stunned. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something to Great Elder Princess. But he was quickly pressed back by the two people beside him. Although the Prince of the Northern Tribes was displeased, he didn't say anything in the end. Others saw Great Elder Princess's angry face and didn't dare to say anything. Mo Jingqi coughed softly and said, "Princess, it's time to salute."
Princess Xi Fu's eyes darkened and she nodded to the official who was in charge of the ceremony.
"First, bow to heaven and earth!"
"Second, bow to your parents!"
"Husband and wife, bow to each other!"
Under the red bridal veil, Ye Li slightly turned her eyes and saw the person beside her holding the red silk tightly. She could only sigh in her heart. In fact, since she knew Mo Xiuyao until now, she always felt that Mo Xiuyao was too perfect to be real. As a person who was crippled, disfigured, and said to be in poor health, his performance was too perfect. He didn't feel inferior, nor did he feel sorry for himself, nor did he give up on himself. No matter when he stood up, even if he was sitting in a wheelchair, he seemed to be taller than anyone else. Thinking back to the rumor about the fiery young man, Mo Xiuyao was even more illusory and ethereal. What kind of painful tempering did he have to go through from being as fiery as fire to being as gentle as jade? Until now, Ye Li really felt a trace of Mo Xiuyao's emotions, anger and murderous intent.
