Without choosing an auspicious date, without calculating the birth characters, without even asking for the opinions of the people involved, with just a few words from his highness, Su Yang went from a single noble son to a man's newlywed wife.
This really was an evil feudal society, there was no such thing as human rights!
Su Yang was wearing a graceful and luxurious red wedding dress with two phoenix hairpins in her hair. She glared at the group of maidservants angrily with her round eyes.
What a joke, it was just a wedding, there was no need to put on lipstick and make up! There was also a head full of gold and silver jewelry that would fall out if he walked too fast. What was the difference between him and a woman!
It was a good thing that his mother was understanding. She waved her hand to dismiss the servant girls and said, "There's no need for that. Our Yu 'er is naturally beautiful, there is no need to put on makeup. However, he still has to wear the phoenix coronet."
Su Yang looked at the large hat that seemed to weigh around five to six pounds. He decisively shook his head and swore not to obey!
Tao Yunfeng said from the side, "It's fine if he doesn't want to. Although it has been done since ancient times, I have never heard of a man marrying another man. Since our manor is the first example, then we'll follow Yu 'er's preferences. There's no need to stick to the usual etiquette."
This cheap father finally said something reasonable. Wu Xueyan finally put down the phoenix coronet and pulled Su Yang back in front of the mirror. Holding the jade white ivory comb, she slowly combed his brocaded long hair.
She carefully said, "Do you still remember what mother told you last night?"
"Remember," Su Yang counted with his fingers, "First, you can't make a fuss. Second, you can't run around. Third, you can't easily talk to strangers. Fourth ….. fourth is that once we reach the king's palace, you have to listen to your husband's words!"
Wu Xueyan happily rubbed his hair. Then she turned around and quickly wiped the corners of her eyes.
She turned around and praised him with a smile, "Yu 'er is so obedient. This red brocade pouch contains your favorite snacks. If you're hungry on the road, take them out and eat them. However, you must not let others see them. If they are snatched away, you can only starve."
Su Yang nodded in agreement and tied the bag of snacks to his waist. He couldn't replace Tao Ziyu to fulfill his filial piety, but he would do his best to protect the Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion from the dangerous situation at court.
At this moment, Ah Gui pushed open the door and entered. "Master, Madam, Young Master, the wedding procession has arrived, but … but the Fifth Prince, he …"
Tao Yunfeng frowned and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating?"
Ah Gui hurriedly knelt on the ground and whispered, "Master, the Fifth Prince is not in the wedding procession. The one who came is … Lieutenant General Cao."
Wu Xueyan's expression suddenly changed, and the ivory comb in her hand broke. Her face was green and red. She was so angry that she lost all her self-restraint.
"Jing Cheng has gone too far! With his actions, how will Yu 'er face others in the future? Does he really think that the General's Mansion is afraid of him? The bloodline of the Wu Family, even if we die, we must die honorably and not suffer such humiliation! "
Tao Yunfeng also lost his usual calmness. He stopped Wu Xueyan and revealed a cold smile on his face. "Don't be impatient. This official is a second-rank official. On the day of the eldest son's wedding, even the son of the Emperor has to give some face. If the Fifth Prince is really so unreasonable, I will definitely make him give an explanation."
After he finished speaking, he strode out.
Su Yang appeared to be ignorant, but he was somewhat puzzled. This kind of reckless action was tantamount to directly slapping the old faces of Old General Wu and Great Fox Tao. Would Jing Cheng have no sense of propriety?
Wu Xueyan took a deep breath. She turned around to help fix Su Yang's wedding clothes, but no matter what, she could not make a smiling face.
She knew that this wedding was the result of political conflict. The Emperor thought that he could use this to suppress Jing Cheng, but he did not know that Jing Cheng was just taking advantage of the situation. He was taking revenge for the humiliation the Tao Family had given him and also mocking the Emperor's stupidity.
If her Yu 'er was not stupid and was still that selfish and cunning playboy, how good would that be? Although he was hateful, at least he knew how to protect himself and not foolishly jumping into a tiger's den without knowing it.
Actually, deep down in her heart, she felt that it was unfair. The one who had done the wrong thing was clearly the mentally sound Zi Yu, but now the one suffering was this silly child who had forgotten the past and had a pure and innocent heart. She couldn't bear it.
After a while, Tao Yunfeng pushed open the door and came in. His face was still gloomy.
Wu Xueyan quickly asked: "Why did you come back so quickly? What did the Prince say?"
Tao Yunfeng said: "I didn't see him, but Deputy General Cao brought me a message. He said that it wasn't that the Prince didn't want to come, but that he couldn't come. He asked me to think about it."
Wu Xueyan thought for a bit and then hatefully said: "It must be the Emperor! Although he married Yu 'er to the Fifth Prince, he didn't want to lose the support of the Minister's Manor and the General's Manor, so he used this kind of underhanded method to make us think that the Fifth Prince is purposely making things difficult for the Tao and Wu Families. A good plan to kill two birds with one stone. It is in line with the imperial family's style. "
Tao Yunfeng gave a cold laugh and asked: "How do you know that this isn't Jing Cheng's plan within a plan? There isn't a single good person with the surname Jing. Us subjects can only be fooled by them. "
Su Yang's mouth twitched as he heard this. These political people were like playing with dolls. You had to peel them off layer by layer, otherwise you would never be able to see the truth.
In any case, Su Yang was pushed onto the bridal sedan chair in the end.
She was the official wife of a Prince, but her bridal escort couldn't even compare to the standard of a normal official's daughter. A small sedan chair carried by four people. Including the brothers who played the suona and played the drums, there were only about a hundred people in total. How shabby was it?
Deputy General Cao, who came on behalf of Jing Cheng, was very interesting. He was eight feet tall and had a full beard. He didn't say a single word of courtesy and directly stuffed Su Yang into the sedan chair.
Su Yang quickly lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and pretended to be alarmed. The uncouth old man heartlessly said: "You're not a young lady. Is there a need to be like this? Go in and sit tight." He then shouted in a rough voice: "Let's go!"
