Looking at her cold and beautiful face in the mirror, Yun Ruoyue curled her lips in satisfaction, "Fung, if anyone asks about my face in the future, just say that I applied some medicine on my face and it's better now. There's no need to explain anything to them."
Now that she had recovered her looks, people would see it sooner or later, so she had to find a good excuse in advance to prevent people from suspecting her.
"Yes, Your Highness."
At this time, the sounds of gongs and drums outside grew louder. Yun Ruoyue coldly stood up, "Fung, my husband is about to marry a new bride. Don't you think that as the head wife, I should go and celebrate?"
"But Your Highness, didn't His Highness warn you not to go out?" Fung said with a bit of fear.
"What are you afraid of? The Emperor of Li is marrying a concubine. If I, The Princess of Li, don't show up, wouldn't that be disgraceful? " After Yun Ruoyue finished speaking, she suddenly pointed at a red dress hanging on the shelf and said to Fung, "Today is a big day. I want to wear something festive, so I'll wear this dress."
Fung hesitated for a moment, "Alright, Your Highness."
She was very afraid that Your Highness would be taken advantage of and her heart was in her throat. But when she saw that Your Highness seemed to have a card up her sleeve, her heart calmed down again.
Following that, Fung helped Yun Ruoyue put on the gorgeous red dress and put on exquisite makeup for her.
In the past, when Yun Ruoyue had been disfigured, she didn't like to dress herself up. Instead, she preferred to wear dark gray clothes. Now that she had changed into this red dress and put on some light makeup, her entire aura had undergone a complete transformation.
After she was dressed, Yun Ruoyue still put on the veil from before. She had Fung find a set of pink clothes for her to wear and had Fung support her to the front hall.
-
Outside the front hall, the sound of gongs and drums could be heard. Big red lanterns were hung high, and big red 'Xi' characters were posted everywhere. The scene was full of jubilation and bustling with noise and excitement.
The Emperor of Li was marrying a concubine. It was a very grand occasion. Outside the palace, the streets were empty. The entire capital was talking about this grand occasion.
It was said that The Emperor of Li married this concubine, and he used a sedan chair with twelve people and gave a whole street's worth of betrothal gifts. This was a ceremony only used when marrying a concubine. This extravagance was much greater than when The Emperor of Li married a concubine.
Yun Ruoyue walked to the corridor and saw that the servants of the prince's mansion were all bustling about happily. It was as if the newly married concubine was their mistress and she was just an unfavored concubine.
Compared to the jubilation now, when she entered the door, it was a joke.
At the time, the emperor had bestowed her to Chu Xuanchen. Chu Xuanchen did not agree and asked for an edict to marry the concubine daughter of the Minister of Rites, the number one beauty of the country of Chu, Nangong Rou. However, the emperor did not agree to him marrying Nangong Rou because Nangong Rou was a concubine. How could she be a concubine?
The current emperor, Hongyuan Emperor, was not Chu Xuanchen's father, but his uncle.
Ten years ago, the emperor of the country of Chu was not Hongyuan Emperor, but Chu Xuanchen's biological father, Qingyun Emperor. For some reason, before Qingyun Emperor passed away, he passed the throne to his younger brother and not to his only legitimate son, Chu Xuanchen.
After Hongyuan Emperor succeeded the throne, Chu Xuanchen was given the title of The Emperor of Li. Hongyuan Emperor was not his biological father, so the relationship between the two was very subtle. Therefore, when he did not agree to the marriage arranged by Hongyuan Emperor, Hongyuan Emperor attacked him.
In the end, Hongyuan Emperor used Nangong Rou's life to pressure him. Only then did he coldly agree to the marriage with Yun Ruoyue.
However, he also said that he would not marry Yun Ruoyue, let alone perform the ceremony of husband and wife.
Moreover, after marrying Yun Ruoyue as his First Concubine, he would marry his beloved woman as a ce fei.
Hongyuan Emperor was angered by Chu Xuanchen's words, but he could not find fault with him. After all, Chu Xuanchen was now the God of War who protected the country of Chu.
