Chapter 10: The Newlywed
Now three or four days have passed, and there are only two days left before the wedding of the famous Wucheng King She Bao.
At this time, in the front yard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the rat holes were cleaned to the dust, and there were colorful lights everywhere, and there were servants who received rewards and smiled with eyebrows and eyes busy dressing up accessories.
Almost the entire Prime Minister's Mansion is filled with a festive atmosphere.
There is only one place that seems to have been inadvertently left behind......
At this time, in Jian Yirou's courtyard, the master and servant were full of sadness.
Cai'er's worry is that no one cares about their yard at all, and no one comes to please Miss.
Although it may be because the outside world has not yet revealed who the Prime Minister will marry, the people are used to being snobbish, and they don't think it's Miss She.
But doesn't the prime minister know? Have you been here several times in the past few days, and you haven't found this yard so plain?
Cai'er was upset for her own young lady.
In Jian Yirou's opinion, this lantern should be just an illusion, and it should just be her repeated evasion, which made the development of things a little different.
Thinking of the conspiracy between She Leopard and her father, she must not be able to escape the end of being sent to the palace, maybe today......
Jian Yirou was sad in her heart......
……
Another day passed, and it was the day before the wedding.
But until the evening, Jian Yirou did not wait for the news of sending herself to the palace.
Jane pondered for a long time, and finally got a more definite answer.
Maybe her father and She Bao wanted to refuse on their wedding day, or send her straight to the palace.
In this way, on the surface, the relationship between the two will break more completely, and it will also allow the father to gain the emperor's trust!
And when I "figured it out", it was already the early morning of the next day.
Jian Yirou had dark circles under her eyes and planned to lie on the bed and swing her ......
At this time, Cai'er washed up early and came to Jian Yirou's room.
"Miss, did you hear that?" Cai'er asked strangely.
"What?" Jian Yirou rubbed her sleepy eyes, and she didn't understand the meaning of Cai'er's countermeasures.
"Our whole palace has been busy all night! Will someone come and help you with your make-up after a while? But you can't even choose your own wedding dress......" Cai'er grumbled as she spoke.
Jian Yirou smiled bitterly and shook her head, she wasn't really married, wasn't she just wearing coarse cloth clothes to enter the palace gate in her previous life?
The master and servant had their own thoughts and waited for a long time, and finally waited for the sound of gongs and drums outside......
The royal palace greeting team is here!
……
A few months ago, the princess was married solemnly and solemnly, but this time it was a real wedding celebration.
Early in the morning, the whole capital was in a stir, and the people occupied both sides of the streets, and its liveliness was more than that of the New Year.
And wherever the greeting team goes, they will sprinkle happy money all the way.
At the same time, there are soup kitchens opened by the palace in many places in the capital, which will last for half a month, aiming to celebrate the prince's new marriage.
These were all arrangements proposed by She Bao's subordinates, and She Bao just nodded.
……
Due to the urgency of time, the palace did not hire before, but this time it was made up together.
The two families are not very far away, and the dowry has already entered the Prime Minister's Mansion here, and the palace over there is still being carried out.
There have been several people, and there are hundreds of large boxes that are four or five feet long.
Later, after the welcoming team came out, the dowry of the Prime Minister's Mansion was a little cold.
Only a dozen or so small wooden boxes were carried out, and the contents would not be worth much.
However, people also know the name of simplicity and honesty, and it is not easy to come up with these.
The people have nothing but admiration and respect in their hearts.
And although the discerning people care about the influence of the marriage between the two families, they still can't help but envy the prime minister's ruthless profit.
She Leopard, who was dressed in a wedding dress and sat on a tall horse, listened to everything, and his face was undisguised proud.
It is said that the dowry to and from the prime minister's mansion is ready-made, and the dowry when the princess gets married...... The box used is only the box.
After all, the dowry is Lin Shiyue's private property and cannot be moved, but the box is empty, so there is no need to use it in vain.
And the dowry of the prime minister's house is very delicate......
The boxes were only about three and a half feet long, less than two feet wide and high, but it was very laborious for four strong men to carry.
It's clear who makes and who loses this time.
But She Bao didn't care, for him, the real value was nothing more than Huabei.
……
She Leopard and the bride each held a red end, and according to the number of rituals, step by step through the brazier, across the saddle, and in the chapel......
It's just that "She Leopard" has both parents dead after all, and there are no elders, so he just worships a tablet.
The guests present almost covered three-quarters of the members of the imperial court.
Many first-class and second-grade officials were also present in person.
These people even want to pretend to be honest, and they all bring valuable gifts.
However, not all of these ministers are from the She Bao family, many of them are subordinates of the emperor, and they came secretly with a purpose.
In addition, even the emperor personally sent a greeting, and specially selected many palace treasures, just reading the gift list for a long time, but the face was full of it.
At least in anyone's opinion, it is a blind date between a monarch and a minister.
……
Speaking of the She Leopard family, most of the civil officials are the same as Jian Xiang, and they have been caught, and most of these people don't know each other, and they only have some faint guesses.
The generals are mostly out of respect for She Leopard, or they are She Leopard's subordinates.
They are also the people who do not want She Bao to be oppressed by the imperial power.
After all, She Bao almost represents the pinnacle of military generals, if even he has to be taken power, let alone the rest?
But in the past few years, the generals thought that they had seen through the essence of the emperor's greed for power, but they did not expect that She Bao was not affected in the slightest.
This also strengthened their determination to join forces with She Leopard.
After all, no one wants to give up power in their hands.
And among all the ministers of the She Leopard faction, some people are eager for She Leopard to rebel as soon as possible, in order to go further from the dragon's work.
Some people want She Leopard to be safe, and they like the days of peace.
There are also a very few people who know the game and open and secret battles between She Bao and the emperor, such as the general of the defending army in the capital who was present at this time, Lin Benji.
……
After a set of processes are completed, the time is already night.
After drinking with the ministers, She Bao finally waited for the steps of the day he had been looking forward to and entered the cave room!
Looking at the bride dressed in red and sitting on the bed, She Leopard couldn't bear it anymore, so she was about to go over and lift her hijab.
Just as her hand was about to touch her hijab, the bride, who had been quiet, suddenly spoke, her voice as gentle as water.
"Husband, use a weighing rod to lift the hijab, this is the ...... of etiquette"
She Leopard thought that after all, women also retracted their hands, looked at the weighing rod on their sides, and prepared to pick it up.
But he stopped abruptly.
It just seems that Jian Yirou called him husband?
Is this possible?
The more She Bao thought about it, the more wrong it became, and today Jian Yirou seemed to be too calm.
She knows everything, even if she doesn't hate him to death, she definitely doesn't have a good impression.
What's more, now that she has completely deviated from Jian Yirou's previous life experience, shouldn't she be surprised at this time? Shouldn't there be a lot of doubts?
She Leopard's hand retracted, his body stood still, his face gloomy, and his voice asked faintly angrily: "Who are you!" ”
It was visible to the naked eye that the bride's delicate body under the hijab trembled, and the two delicate white jade hands were clasped together at a loss.
Immediately afterwards, the bride's uneasy and somewhat nervous and excited voice came from under the hijab, "Husband, the concubine's name is Jian Yisheng......"
She didn't know how angry She Bao was, and she only reacted because it was the first time a man and a woman were alone.
Hearing that She Leopard was angry, he had only one thought in his heart, he was tricked!
