The sixth of the eighth month was a date set by the Lu Family. Based on what the left prime minister, Lu Song, had said, this date had been carefully calculated. It was a very auspicious day.
Yao Xian had never paid much attention to these things. Either way, the sixth of the eighth month was quite agreeable to him, thus he nodded and agreed.
However, who knew that the heavy rain would begin at a quarter to five in the morning. It continued to rain until the auspicious time for Yao Shu to go pick up the bride. There was nothing that the Yao family could do. They could only prepare a raincoat and have Yao Shu quickly get on his horse and leave. The outside of the sedan was also covered with a few layers of rain to prevent the sedan from getting wet.
Yao Shu rushed and finally arrived at the Lu Family's entrance at the auspicious time. The Lu family did not have much to nitpick about. After all, they were the ones that had chosen the day, and it was raining heavily on such a good day. They also had their own problems that they could not complain about. It was just a pity that Lu Yao's clothes would get wet no matter how careful she was.
Under the red veil, Lu Yao's face turned green with anger. In her heart, she complained that the Ge Clan had chosen this date. How could this be considered an auspicious day. It was just an unlucky day.
Fortunately, the Yao family had arranged the sedan very well. She bent over and entered the sedan, immediately blocking out the heavy rain. Only then did the corners of Lu Yao's lips curl into a smile; however, there was still a trace of worry and anxiety in her heart. She thought back and forth but was unable to find the source of this anxiety.
At this time, a large number of people had gathered in front of the Yao manor's entrance. Although it was raining, the people's enthusiasm was still very high. After all, this was the Yao family's first joyous occasion after returning to the capital. They were marrying the daughter of the first wife of the prime minister. This could be considered a major event in the capital.
Some people began to ponder, "It must be said that the Yao family really does have some fate with the prime minister. Thinking back, their only daughter was married into the Prime Minister's mansion of Zuo. Now, their eldest grandson is marrying into the Prime Minister's mansion of Zuo."
"But this prime minister is not the same prime minister. Feng Jin Yuan definitely has no chance of making a comeback, but the Lu Family is like the sun in the sky. They are being relied on by the Emperor."
"Sigh! That's hard to say. Who knows what will happen in the future? Since ancient times, the position of Left Prime Minister has never had a good ending. I don't know how long the Lu Family can last. "
Under the cover of the heavy rain, this kind of whispering successfully covered up all sounds. At the entrance of the Yao Manor, the elders naturally did not need to come out of the manor to welcome them, but the younger generation were all dressed in luxurious robes and were eagerly waiting. With regards to Big Brother's marriage, these younger brothers were very new to them.
As her cousin, Feng Yu Heng was naturally part of the welcoming team. Feng Zirui was also standing with her, quietly waiting for the arrival of the bride.
Very quickly, Yao Shu's wedding procession could be seen. The drummers who had been waiting respectfully at the entrance of the Yao Residence immediately started playing. The firecrackers also sounded with difficulty despite the rain.
Finally, Yao Shu stopped in front of the fu's gate on his tall horse. When the bridal sedan landed, he dismounted from his horse and personally went to the front of the sedan and extended his arm to wait for the bride to get up and come out.
What kicking the sedan door or shooting at the curtain, none of these things were arranged. To the Yao family, once they married into the family, they would be a family. There was no such thing as trying to intimidate the new daughter-in-law.
In truth, everyone knew that for a daughter to be able to marry into the Yao family was a stroke of fortune. Not to mention that the Yao family had such an awesome niece like Feng Yu Heng, it would definitely flourish for at least three generations. Just the Yao family's rule that men were not allowed to take in concubines was enough to cause people to feel endless envy. One person in a lifetime, how rare of a thing was this!
Lu Yao got out of the sedan, and Yao Shu personally held up an umbrella. Although he could not prevent the wedding robes from getting wet, at least Lu Yao's side was taken care of very well. Yao Shu held up the majority of the umbrella for her.
At the same time, a wedding official threw the copper coins that he had prepared to the crowd. The commoners said "congratulations" as they buried their heads to pick up the coins.
They could faintly hear someone say: "Marrying a daughter-in-law on a rainy day, this daughter-in-law is quite fierce. I just don't know if the Yao family's young master will be able to handle her."
While this was being said, the two newlyweds had already walked up the steps. For some reason, when Lu Yao passed by Feng Yu Heng, she suddenly slipped and fell toward Feng Yu Heng's feet.
Feng Yu Heng did not make a sound and supported her. It looked like she was just supporting her, but in truth, she had used some strength to prop Lu Yao up.
"The ground is slippery today. Cousin-in-law must be careful." She had a smile on her face, but her voice was calm.
Under the bridal veil, Lu Yao snorted but did not give her thanks. She just awkwardly turned her head away. It was Yao Shu that quickly gave thanks to Feng Yu Heng. Only then did the two stand back up and walk into the manor.
At this time, a sharp-eyed guest saw the golden bracelet on Lu Yao's wrist and could not help but exclaim: "That bracelet really is beautiful!"
Someone in the know quickly said: "How could it not be beautiful? It was Princess Ji 'an that personally asked craftsman Bai to make it. "
"Craftsman Bai? Heavens, this sort of craftsman can only be asked by someone of Princess Ji 'an's status. "
"But of course, the Lu Family has managed to get married to the Yao family. Although it looks like the prime minister's daughter is marrying down, who doesn't know that the Lu Family has gotten a great bargain."
The people discussed this spiritedly; however, they also followed the newlyweds into the manor. Because it was raining heavily, the Yao family's front yard had already been set up with a tent. The people walked under the tent and were not afraid of getting wet.
Feng Yu Heng pulled along Zirui and walked with her cousins. Zirui was small and always wanted to watch the excitement. Second cousin, Yao Sen, simply picked him up and allowed him to watch as much as he wanted.
The main courtyard's main hall was the wedding hall. At this time, Yao Xian sat to the left of the hall. Yao Shu's father, Yao Jing Jun, sat to the right. Standing at Yao Duan Qing's side was his wife, Xu shi.
Yao Xian's face did not have too much of a joyous expression. Instead, he appeared a little solemn. Yao Jing Jun and Xu shi, however, were overflowing with joy.
After all, the people of the Yao family were very kind. As they saw it, there were no bad people in this world. There was only Feng Jin Yuan, and they had truly misjudged him. But at the very least, as long as someone entered the Yao family's gates, they would treat them with sincerity. If that person truly did not know what was good for them, they would be dealt with accordingly.
The person presiding over today's wedding was the right prime minister, Feng Qin. This was something that Emperor Tianwu had specially appointed. First, the right prime minister was close to the Ninth Prince and Feng Yu Heng's side. Second, it was to coordinate with the left prime minister, making it seem as if the Dashun court was a family.
The first bow was to heaven and earth. The second bow was to the parents. The husband and wife bowed to each other before being sent to the bridal chamber. Everything went very smoothly. Aside from Lu Yao nearly falling when they entered the manor, this wedding truly did not have any disturbances. Even that near fall was seen by others as extremely normal under the heavy rain.
Feng Yu Heng did not feel that there was anything wrong with Lu Yao's fall. At that time, she had personally seen Lu Yao accidentally step on her own skirt while climbing the steps. In addition to the slippery steps, it was normal for her to not be able to stand steadily. It was just that the angle at which she had fallen was a little tricky, as she had fallen directly toward her. Was she trying to give her some trouble upon entering the manor? She smiled bitterly and said to Lu Yao, oh Lu Yao, you're marrying into the Yao family, not my imperial daughter's manor. Moreover, your Lu Family wants to curry favor with me and Xuan Tianming. Doing things like this is going against your lord father's wishes!
The newlyweds were sent to the bridal chamber, and the guests returned to their seats in the courtyard.
Because of the importance that the Emperor placed on this marriage and the relationship between the Emperor and Yao Xian, there was also the face of the left prime minister, Lu Song. For this wedding, all of the princes in the capital were present, and they had all brought their own imperial concubines. Even the fifth prince, Xuan Tian Yi, had brought Fen Dai.
It was just that the seating was done according to rank. The princes sat together, and the imperial concubines sat together. Fen Dai, who had not been married, naturally did not count; however, she was squeezed into the group of guests and sat with the young misses of the fourth rank and below.
As for Feng Yu Heng, she was an imperial daughter and was seated at the seat of honor, but she was also a relative of the Yao family. It was natural that she would sit with the members of the Yao family.
It was just that Fen Dai's eyes were filled with resentment. She shot a hateful gaze over, and Feng Yu Heng naturally could not ignore it; however, she did not think too much of it. She just faintly smiled and responded. It was as though she was looking at a stranger, and this angered Fen Dai so much that she nearly tore the handkerchief in her hand.
The eldest prince's secondary princess carried the children over. The two children were very adorable, and Feng Yu Heng was also very fond of them. She immediately pulled out two cans of milk powder from the counter for mothers and children and sent them over.
In regards to Feng Yu Heng's gift, everyone knew that it was definitely not ordinary, especially after hearing her explain how to drink the milk powder and its nutritional value. The two secondary princesses both stood up and thanked Feng Yu Heng.
At this time, Xuan Feiyu and Zirui also began to play. The two children ran all over the place, and from time to time, they would bump into someone, but everyone knew what sort of status these two children had. They all hoped that they would be bumped into a few more times. If they were able to say a few words, would that not be even better?
As they played, who knew who suggested it, but the two children actually ran out of the front yard and went around to the back yard.
Feng Yu Heng saw this but did not rush to do anything. This Yao manor was the former Feng manor, so Zirui was very familiar with this manor. Moreover, the people of the Yao family were currently living here. Everyone in the Yao family, from the masters to the servants, had the same personality. She knew this, so she was at ease and allowed the two children to play as they pleased. She knew that there would not be any danger.
Not long after, Yao Shu also walked out from the back yard. He was still wearing the groom's clothes and began to toast the guests one by one.
Everything was so orderly, and everything was so normal. Feng Yu Heng thought that everything could be described as happy and harmonious.
Of course, in the Yao Family, the atmosphere was supposed to be like this. However, for some reason, she felt that there was a trace of uneasiness hidden in today's tranquility. However, she did not know when this trace of uneasiness would erupt.
Not long after, Xuan Feiyu and Feng Zirui ran back one after the other. This time, they were not laughing and playing around. The two of them both threw themselves at Feng Yu Heng.
Feng Yu Heng hugged the two children. While wiping the sweat from their foreheads, she asked Zirui: "It must be you who ran around with the little highness."
Zirui wrinkled his brow and did not say anything.
Feng Yu Heng's heart skipped a beat. Seeing that Xuan Feiyu also wanted to say something, she asked: "What is it? Did something happen to you two? "
Xuan Feiyu nodded and leaned close to Feng Yu Heng's ear. He quietly said to her: "Fairy sister, Zirui and I just ran to the back yard to play. Outside the bride's courtyard, we saw a strange man … …"
