"Come, carry the two brides into the bridal sedan!"
/p
As soon as these words came out, not only did everyone present burst into an uproar, even I, who was in the middle of the situation but wanted to stay out of it, clearly didn't want to do anything. I was just waiting to watch a good show, but I couldn't help but take a deep breath. This kind of arrogant and lascivious (discordant) words could actually come out of the mouth of the jade-like Prince Yue. Did I misjudge him, or was he just hiding the surface of a gentleman, but in his heart, he was still a dandy who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth?
/p
My father held back and finally squeezed out a sentence, "Your Highness, you can't!"
/p
Tang Min was actually even more daring, he said, "Your Highness doesn't respect etiquette, you're really impudent! Aren't you afraid that the Imperial Censor will make you lose your title and demote you to a commoner? "
/p
"Now, even this prince's marriage is being manipulated by others. His Majesty decreed the marriage, and someone even dares to mess with the concubines that were personally conferred by the palace. Thinking about it, even a prince of the imperial family doesn't have any authority!" Prince Yue hardened his tone and said coldly, "Today, this prince will be pampered and take away two brides on the street. If Imperial Father wants to punish me, just come at me!"
/p
The Prime Minister's Office and the Sun family naturally didn't dare to go against Prince Yue, who had military power. They only cared about etiquette and rules, but no one was willing to stand up and say a few words for the etiquette and rules they insisted on. They all just watched helplessly.
/p
However, since ancient times, people always admonish to death and fight to the death. Who knows, they might even admonish the emperor to death!
/p
The Sun family's eldest master let out a long sigh of relief, as if he had escaped from an important task.
/p
No one knew what Prince Yue did, but his aura suddenly changed. He shouted sternly, "Come!"
/p
"Present!" The soldiers replied in unison.
/p
"Take the two brides into the bridal sedan and take them back to the residence to perform the wedding ceremony!"
/p
"Yes!"
/p
I guessed that the Prince pointed at me and said, "This, send her to Fufu Courtyard." The Prince then pointed at the bride, "This Madam, send her to Tsukasawa Dō. When we enter the bridal chamber, I would like everyone to take a look and see whether this Prince's eyes are blind, or whether the servants of the Prime Minister's Office are incompetent. Is this truly the wrong marriage and the wrong bride?"
/p
The maidservant had probably never experienced such a situation before. Her hand that was supporting me was trembling. I found it funny and put my hand on top of her head. I didn't know if she was supporting me or I was supporting her as we got into the bridal sedan.
/p
There were eight sedan chairs in this sedan chair, and I sat quite steadily. There were probably more chairs in front of me. No matter what, Prince Yue was still a prince, and he was also a marshal with a military seal. In order to reward him, the royal family would give him face in front of others. As for behind others, it was not clear.
/p
With the Province Governor Yue escorting the procession, no one dared to approach. Although the people in the Prime Minister's Office were brainless, they were not that brainless. It was a pity that there was a red veil in front of my eyes. Otherwise, I really wanted to look back and see what kind of beautiful color the faces of these people were.
/p
The wedding ceremony was actually very complicated. When the sedan chair came to a stop, I heard the sound of bowstrings vibrating three times, but there was no sound of arrows piercing through the air. It seemed that three arrows were shot at me. Then the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, and the light shone on my face through the red veil. A young maidservant reached out her hand to support me, and led me over the saddle, over the brazier, and onto the red carpet. Then we walked up the stairs to enter the residence, and leisurely led me into the residence.
/p
Prince Yue was not from an ordinary family, and he was marrying a legitimate Princess that was to be conferred by the Emperor. Before the wedding ceremony, Prince Yue had to receive the imperial edict from a eunuch in the palace. Poor eunuch. I guessed that he was not young, but at his age, he still had to encounter such a ridiculous mess. His voice was somewhat unsteady as he read the imperial edict.
/p
The imperial edict was nothing more than a pile of beautiful words, but the last sentence was very thought-provoking. Conferring the third daughter of the Tang family as the concubine of the Tang Family. Perhaps the Emperor wanted to save his son's face, so he had no choice but to fiercely issue an imperial edict to remedy the situation.
/p
After the wedding ceremony, we were about to enter the bridal chamber. All the distinguished guests in the hall were watching the show, whispering to each other as they guessed which one was the real bride. There were even some who were not afraid of making a big deal and had already started a bet. The young maidservant handed me a red silk cloth. I couldn't help but curiously pull it. Then I heard Prince Yue's voice. I couldn't help but chuckle. Okay, I know what it is.
/p
Although the wedding ceremony was messy, there were no missing steps. The Prince and I held the red silk cloth and entered the bridal chamber. We were led to the auspicious seats. Not many guests dared to talk and laugh in the bridal chamber. I only heard a few nervous and hurried breaths. The room was quiet for a long time. A wedding scale carefully touched my veil. It touched my veil, but it didn't move. I didn't know if it was trying to prepare its mind or something else. After a while, he slowly lifted the veil. I squinted my eyes and saw the Prince of Yue. He was wearing a red robe and was standing straight. I guessed that for the occasion, he had specially put on a simple and generous silver mask. When he saw that it was me, he gave me a very relaxed smile.
/p
Next to him was probably the eunuch who came out of the palace to announce the imperial edict. He was dressed very well. He held a horsetail whisk and bowed his body. He looked at me and Prince Yue in surprise. He braced himself and asked, "Your Highness, this …"
/p
Prince Yue's smile disappeared. He replied, "This Prince must return to the palace and personally ask Imperial Father for an explanation!"
/p
This eunuch looked like a respectable person. When he heard this, his legs immediately began to tremble. He couldn't even stand properly. He directly knelt down in front of the prince. "Your Highness, please calm down. Perhaps there is a hidden story behind this …"
/p
Even with Yue Wangye's good temperament, he didn't want to listen to this kind of nonsense. He waved his hand at the eunuch and said, "Today, this Wangye is overjoyed. I don't want to talk nonsense with you. When we attack tomorrow, this Wangye will ask Imperial Father clearly. Eunuch, you have announced the edict today and confirmed this Prince's marriage. I think you have completed your task and can return to report. "
/p
The eunuch didn't dare to get up. He only repeated, "I don't dare, I don't dare!"
/p
"This Prince can't accept eunuch kneeling in front of me like this. Tonight is this Prince's wedding. Eunuch has represented Imperial Father as a witness. This Prince is extremely honored. However, today is this Prince's wedding night. There are guests waiting to receive in the front courtyard. Since eunuch is busy, this Prince won't force you to stay. "He called for someone to wrap a small red bag for the eunuch.
/p
I saw that the red bag was as thin as paper. I guessed that there wasn't anything inside. However, the eunuch pinched the bag and handed it back with both hands. "Your Highness, this servant cannot accept such a generous reward!"
/p
"Eunuch, you even returned this Prince's wedding money?"
/p
The eunuch thought about it and carefully took it back. He thanked the eunuch again and again. Prince Yue became impatient. He waved his hand and ordered a servant to send the eunuch out.
/p
The Prince and I were the only two people in the room. Both of us were wearing auspicious clothes and crowns, looking very grand. However, I didn't smile at him. He must have been very angry when he got married, so he chose a place to sit down, but he didn't look happy either.
/p
The servant trembled as he reported outside. The poor eunuch didn't even dare to show his face. He only whispered to the Prince, "Master, the guests are all seated outside. The Crown Prince, who helped you drink, is also here. He's only waiting for you."
/p
Prince Yue seemed to come back to his senses. He raised his voice and said, "I understand." He turned to look at me and said softly, "I'm going out to deal with the guests. You can stroll around the courtyard. If there's anything you don't like, just tell me."
/p
"Okay." Long?
/p
After saying that, Prince Yue walked outside. I saw a few people cowering outside. I went out and called them in. I guessed that these servant girls were originally my third sister's people. They also looked at me as a stranger, so they didn't dare to raise their heads.
/p
Seeing that they were unfamiliar faces, I asked one by one, "What are your names?"
/p
The four servant girls answered one by one. Mei Xiang, LanXiang was the personal servant girl. Zhu 'er and Ju' er were the servant girls in the outer courtyard. After I asked, I asked again, "Do you know who I am?"
/p
This question was very difficult to answer. However, Mei Xiang was the first to step forward. She knelt down and kowtowed to me twice. She said, "You are this servant's master. You are the master of the entire Province Yue. You are also Prince Yue's Princess Consort."
/p
The remaining servant girls seemed to have received special amnesty. They kowtowed to me to express their sincerity. I smiled and pointed to Mei Xiang, who was the leader. I smiled and said, "You really are a smart girl. You know when to yield and when to stand tall. Not bad!" I got off the bed and pressed my aching waist. I thought that the anesthetic was really strong. Even now, I still felt that this body didn't belong to me.
/p
Mei Xiang stepped forward to support me. She advised me, "Master, this won't do. You should quickly return to the auspicious seat and wait for Prince Yue to return. This is not proper etiquette."
/p
"Prince Yue can snatch a bride in the middle of the street. This wedding will be treated as a joke by outsiders. What etiquette is there to talk about!"
/p
Mei Xiang was surprised. She continued to persuade me, "This servant has often heard that the grannies in the Prince Yue Fu are very capable people from the palace. They are very careful with the rules. Miss, if you break the etiquette as soon as you enter the fu, won't you give the grannies a fatal weakness?"
/p
I was annoyed by her attempts to stop me. I swung my hand and said angrily, "You keep trying to stop me. You're annoying me. Aren't you afraid that I will bring up the past and settle the score with you in front of the law?"
/p
When she heard about the law, Mei Xiang shut her mouth. She lowered her head and didn't say anything. However, her worries were unnecessary. Prince Yue had opened his golden mouth and told me to stroll around his courtyard. She didn't know the cause and effect, so she stubbornly stopped me. Wasn't that stupid?
/p
As soon as I opened the door, I was shocked by the scene in front of me. Prince Yue looked like a very simple person. Every day, he wore a mask that he didn't take off. It was either iron or silver. He didn't even have a decorative design. I didn't expect him to have this kind of aesthetic sense to renovate the courtyard. Looking at the courtyard, it was said to be Xiao Yu Stone Bridge. The meandering flowing stream had the beauty of Jiangnan. But under the corridor, there were rows upon rows of palace lanterns with pictures of court ladies. It also had the grandeur of an ancient emperor's family. The tassels at the corners fluttered in the wind, almost flying to the moon.
