Three days later, the crown prince's wedding arrived as scheduled.
Chu Xifeng said that His Highness Duke of Qin was personally investigating the grain merchant's dealings with the imperial uncle's estate, so he might not be able to make it back to the capital in time. Normally, Han Yunxi didn't like going to the palace when Long Fei Ye wasn't around, but she was very interested this time.
She wasn't the type to hide behind a man's back and do nothing, much less hide behind a man's back as soon as she had someone to rely on. She was a woman who could fight side by side with a man!
Even if Long Fei Ye wasn't around, she still had the guts to enter the palace.
But just as she and Zhao mama were about to climb into the carriage, Long Fei Ye hurried back.
"Your Highness, I thought you weren't coming," Han Yunxi was surprised.
Long Fei Ye glanced at the carriage, his tone Cold. "Your lordship thought you'd wait."
So it's my fault?
Han Yunxi was thrilled and quickly said, "Your Highness, then chenqie will wait for you in the future?"
Long Fei Ye looked at Han Yunxi's smiling eyes and looked away in a fluster. Instead of answering her question, he said Cold, "Get on the carriage!"
Han Yunxi's eyes flashed craftily before she followed him. Zhao mama was the last to get on the carriage, sighing inwardly. Why does it feel like esteemed wangfei is flirting with His Highness Duke of Qin?
If esteemed wangfei went out alone, Zhao mama would sit with her in the carriage. But if His Highness Duke of Qin was present, Zhao mama would obediently sit with the driver.
The journey from the Duke of Qin's estate to the imperial palace took them through the busiest streets of the capital. As the carriage slowly moved forward, Han Yunxi leaned against the window sill to look out.
They had to pass through the Duke of Qin's estate on the way to General Mu's estate. No other estate in the capital was closer to the imperial palace than that. Han Yunxi had asked around for the auspicious time for the wedding. The crown prince should be here by now!
But there didn't seem to be any movement on the streets.
Puzzled, Han Yunxi began to look around.
Long Fei Ye was leaning lazily at the side. Seeing this, he asked casually, "What are you looking at?"
Han Yunxi replied as she watched, "Welcome the bride! The Crown Prince should be leaving the palace now. "
Obviously, Long Fei Ye was not interested.
Han Yunxi was quiet for a while, but she suddenly turned around and smiled. "Your Highness, I actually wanted to wait for you, but after calculating the time of the wedding, I decided to leave first."
Long Fei Ye then asked indifferently, "What's there to see?"
In his impression, this woman was not someone who liked to join in the fun.
Han Yunxi was about to answer, but she thought better of it.
She also felt that there was nothing to see in the wedding ceremony. However, Mu Liuyue was so provocative and showing off. How could she not take a good look?
Jealousy, comparison, showing off, and showing off between women were all very boring behavior in the eyes of men. Han Yunxi thought that the busy Long Fei Ye should be too lazy to listen to these things, right?
Moreover, she wasn't someone who liked to complain.
She smiled and said, "I just want to see how everything can be simplified!"
Unexpectedly, Zhao mama's voice suddenly came from outside. "Your Highness, it's not like that!"
Before Han Yunxi could react, Zhao mama complained, "Your Highness, a few days ago, Mu Liuyue stopped esteemed wangfei's carriage in the alley. She said that she came specially to tell esteemed wangfei how grand her wedding was and how much betrothal money was. She also said that esteemed wangfei was marrying into the Duke of Qin's residence and that the wedding procession was hired by the Han Family."
That day, Zhao mama had wanted to complain when she came back from the streets, but she didn't dare. Because no matter what method she used, she'd be using Mu Liuyue's mouth to criticize His Highness Duke of Qin!
She originally wanted to let it go like esteemed wangfei, but after eavesdropping on the conversation between master and mistress, she couldn't help herself.
Moreover, they were separated by the curtains, so she didn't have to face His Highness Duke of Qin directly. That was why she dared to say it.
She thought that if His Highness Duke of Qin was unhappy about the previous marriage, it wouldn't be good to flip out in public. Moreover, esteemed wangfei was in the carriage, so she should be able to block it for her!
Han Yunxi was stunned by Zhao mama's words!
This damnable Zhao mama! She said that Mu Liuyue could do whatever she wanted, but why did she have to bring up the wedding procession that the Han Family had hired! How awkward was this?
Long Fei Ye didn't think that she was still complaining, right?
Following the silence, the atmosphere in the carriage gradually became awkward. Under these circumstances, even that damnable Zhao mama didn't say anything.
Han Yunxi maintained her posture of looking out the window, wishing she could find a crack in the carriage and crawl out.
She admitted that she minded the important matter of marriage. Otherwise, she wouldn't have retaliated against Mu Liuyue like that. However, she didn't complain.
She was well aware that her marriage with Long Feiye had involved complicated conflicts of interest.
He could only blame himself for being the Duke of Qin and she being the daughter of the empress dowager's benefactor. She only rejoiced that she hadn't become the empress dowager's spy and that they hadn't become enemies.
Just as they were silent, the joyous sounds of gongs and drums came from afar. The people on the street all made way.
The wedding procession had arrived!
"Your Highness, esteemed wangfei, the wedding procession has left the palace!"
Zhao mama, who had been waiting in fear, finally found an opportunity to resolve the awkwardness. Han Yunxi immediately said, "They really came! I thought I would miss them. "
Alright, although she pretended that nothing had happened, she really wanted to turn around and see Long Fei Ye's expression.
It would have been fine if Zhao mama hadn't said anything, but now that she said it, Your Highness Duke of Qin, don't you have any reaction at all?
After waiting for a while, there was still silence.
Han Yunxi finally hid the trace of disappointment in her heart and pretended to be excited as she stuck her head out to look at the wedding procession.
However, what she saw was enough to make her smile.
That wedding procession couldn't even be called a procession!
Although the Crown Prince's wedding was simple thanks to them, it shouldn't be this simple!
Any other rich family's wedding in the capital could compare to the Crown Prince's wedding procession!
She saw the Crown Prince riding a tall horse at the very front. Behind him was a palanquin, followed by a matron of honor. Behind the palanquin were several musicians, and then … then there was nothing!
Including the people carrying the palanquin, there were no more than twenty people!
Han Yunxi couldn't help but worry for Mu Liuyue out of goodwill. Looking at the situation, Long Tianmo was quite heartless to this crown prince consort.
He wasn't afraid that General Mu would mind such a display. In other words, although marrying Mu Liuyue was a way to rope her in, it was also a way to threaten her. It could be said to be a combination of kindness and severity.
Whether Mu Liuyue's days in the future would depend entirely on the performance of General Mu's Estate.
The wedding procession wasn't large. Moreover, the headlines had been dominated by the auction for the past few days, so the sensational effect had faded away. It was a far cry from when Han Yunxi had married into the Duke of Qin's estate.
Han Yunxi admitted that she was quite vengeful at times. At this time, she especially wanted to go to General Mu's Estate to see Mu Liuyue. However, she wasn't in a rush. She would definitely see her in the palace later.
Long Fei Ye didn't make a sound the entire time. Han Yunxi leaned against the window the entire time. Outside, Zhao mama had her ear pressed against the carriage curtain, but she didn't hear anything else.
Very quickly, they arrived at the palace gates and got off the palanquin.
Han Yunxi was in a rush to get off the palanquin, but Long Fei Ye pulled her back. He silently got off first and then personally reached out to help her.
What did this guy mean? Did he think that what had just happened didn't happen?
Alright, Han Yunxi admitted that she was still brooding over what she had just said. She put her hand on Long Fei Ye's hand and lowered her head to get off the carriage. She was absent-minded.
Who would have thought that Long Fei Ye would indifferently say without any warning, "The marriage … your revenge was very beautiful."
"Ah?"
Han Yunxi suddenly raised her head to look. In a moment of carelessness, her foot missed a step and her entire body immediately sank into the side of the carriage.
Long Feiye hastily wrapped his arms around her slender waist and lifted her off the carriage.
Han Yunxi didn't do it on purpose. In her panic, her hands naturally wrapped around Long Fei Ye's neck.
If Long Fei Ye hugged her and spun her around, this scene would definitely be extremely beautiful!
Long Fei Ye didn't do so, but this scene still attracted countless onlookers. Not to mention Granny Zhao and the coachman, all the guards at the palace gates all looked over.
Long Fei Ye could only look up at Han Yunxi, and Han Yunxi could only look down at him.
This was truly the first time in their lives!
Long Fei Ye was looking up at a woman for the first time, and Han Yunxi was looking down at the Prince Leng for the first time.
Needless to say, they seemed to be quite used to this view. The two hugged and looked at each other in silence for a long time.
If no one disturbed them, Han Yunxi would probably continue to look at Long Fei Ye like this until the Crown Prince's wedding procession returned.
But Long Feiye quickly recovered his wits. He didn't say a word, but simply picked Han Yunxi up in a princess carry and walked forward.
Granny Zhao was dumbfounded. Wasn't her master always conservative when it came to matters between men and women? He would even get angry when esteemed wangfei took off his socks, but now he was doing this in front of so many people, in front of so many people …
Your Highness Duke of Qin, esteemed wangfei, is it really okay for the two of you to show off your love at the palace gates on the Crown Prince's wedding day?
It was fine if Long Fei Ye was domineering, but Han Yunxi didn't react at all. Instead, she enjoyed being hugged by him. She looked at Long Fei Ye with unconcealed joy in her eyes.
She wouldn't die if she admitted that she liked being hugged by him like this. She just liked it very much. What wedding was this? It was all in the past.
She, Han Yunxi, had always only enjoyed the present and only looked forward!
Han Yunxi felt relieved. However, after Long Fei Ye carried her into the sedan chair, he whispered in her ear, "Han Yunxi, this prince will remember this."
Long Fei Ye had already stepped out of the sedan chair when he felt the familiar warmth in his ear.
What did he remember?
The sedan chairs rose and entered the palace one after the other. No one saw a man dressed in white standing by the palace walls, watching Long Fei Ye and the others.
Even though he was wearing a white mask, it couldn't hide his elegant temperament. His eyes were clear, but they revealed traces of weakness and exhaustion.
He only turned and left when the sedan chair disappeared from the palace gates.
