Chapter 204: The Pea Prince (16)
Early the next morning, a messenger from a neighboring country sent an invitation.
It's Prince Edward who is going to have a wedding with the Duke's daughter.
Wen Cha took the invitation, thanked the messenger, and then went back to the house and told the old woman about it.
The old woman was reluctant for her to go to such a place.
Under the soft grinding and hard brewing of Wencha, she had to agree, but the premise was that she would escort Wencha by her side.
On the day of the ceremony, the old woman got a carriage from nowhere, loaded Wencha and the prince into the cart, and they drove along the moor to the entrance of Prince Edward's palace, where the red carpet and flowers spread from the street to the palace.
Prince Edward was very happy to see the warm tea.
He said that he had prepared a thin wine and hoped that she would have a good day.
Wen Cha smiled and took Arthur and the old woman to their seats.
After a while, the bride in costume appeared.
She was still as beautiful as when they first met, delicate as a piece of gorgeous porcelain.
On her feet, wearing the precious crystal shoes, the happiness and smile on her face overflowed the corners of her eyebrows, and she looked so happy.
Prince Edward took her by the hand, walked in front of everyone, and did not hesitate to declare his love for her.
He excitedly and eagerly told the story of how they met and fell in love.
She was like a beautiful nightingale, always arriving in his arms at night, dancing with him, and then fleeing like a mischievous elf in the silence of midnight, haunting him for too long.
This time, he finally caught her, and in this life, she never wanted to run away again.
The bride listened to him with a smile, her eyes shining with excitement, and she seemed to be immersed in what he had said.
Speaking of emotion, the prince bowed his head and kissed the bride's forehead, promising her that he would love her for the rest of his life.
The bride bowed her head in emotion and shed tears of joy.
Prince Edward took her hand and couldn't wait to ask the priest to say the ceremonial vows, and he was going to swear with his soul that he would always be loyal to his beloved.
The pastor and everyone present were touched by the prince's sincerity and could not help but applaud and blessed the soon-to-be-married couple.
Prince Edward followed the priest's words and said, "I want to love her forever," when the door of the palace was slammed open.
Loud bang that makes all the heads back.
A young girl dressed in gray and covered in chimney dust was standing in the doorway.
She was barefoot, her clothes were tattered, and she looked very embarrassed.
No one expected that the prince's wedding would break into such a girl, and they looked at the girl, exchanged ears, and talked about it.
All the people here are princes and nobles, no matter how bad they are, they are also relatives and friends of the newlyweds, how can the girl be so embarrassed, how can she be qualified to participate in the wedding?
Prince Edward was also stunned by this scene.
He looked at the girl and frowned slightly: "Who are you?"
The girl raised her head, and under her dirty hair, there was a face that was more flowery than a kitten.
It's dirty.
Prince Edward glanced at it, not showing the slightest interest, and said with a polite smile, "If you are coming to my wedding, I welcome you, my subjects, please find a place and sit down, will you?"
He was such a gentleman and polite.
The ladies here loved him very much.
Only the gray girl at the door, who didn't seem to hear what he was saying, looked at the crystal slippers on the bride's feet, and tears fell from her eyes.
She cried silently, but she still caught the prince's attention.
He asked her, "My subjects, what's wrong with you?"
The maiden did not answer him.
Instead, he walked up to him.
She was dirty, but she didn't have the smell of the slums.
Despite this, the prince still has little affection for this young girl who inexplicably ruins his wedding.
He said mercilessly: "If you are here to find fault, then I am afraid I have to ask you out."
The girl didn't speak, she squatted down at the feet of the bride.
Only then did the prince notice that from the moment the maiden appeared, his bride trembled beside him.
The bride seemed to be afraid of something.
The girl stroked the crystal slipper on the bride's feet.
She lifted her face to reveal a small but beautiful face, and she said to the bride, "Please give me back my shoes."
Before the words fell, the bride was struck by lightning, and her pale face could not be covered.
She grabbed Prince Edward's hand in a panic and said in a panic, "Who are you, what are you talking nonsense?"
Seeing this, the girl did not speak again, but reached out and took off her shoes from her feet.
During this time, the bride fell into Prince Edward's arms, looking defeated and looking extremely embarrassed.
The girl got the shoes and took one last look at Prince Edward, and a large piece of disappointment fell in her eyes, making Prince Edward vaguely guess something, "You, you are the ......"
"I'm not."
The girl wiped the dust off her feet and showed a clean and beautiful face.
Something flashed through Prince Edward's mind, and his eyes widened in horror, trying to raise his hand to run the hair from her eyes and look at her carefully.
The girl dodged his hand and turned to leave.
Prince Edward let go of the bride in his arms and chased after him, "You are, you are my bride!" ”
Before the words fell, there was an uproar at the wedding.
How many brides did Prince Edward have?
The bride in her wedding dress is already as earthy as her face.
However, the girl holding the crystal slipper smiled faintly.
"I'm not, you recognize the wrong person."
The prince didn't believe it at all, and he stubbornly said, "Don't fool me, I remember your eyes."
The girl was amused by this remark.
"These are indeed my shoes."
Prince Edward was overjoyed, "Since you are the owner of the shoes, what else is there to say." ”
The girl was still smiling.
"But for me, it's a misfit of shoes," she said.
Prince Edward's eyes widened, "No, you and it are a natural pair, it belongs to you." ”
The girl looked at him deeply, and her smiling eyebrows trembled.
"If my shoe fits, it won't fall off."
Since it fell, it proves that it is not for me.
After saying this, the girl did not look at the prince again, and turned to leave.
When she opened the door of the auditorium, everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on her.
The girl didn't look back.
Prince Edward stood still, his whole body stiffening.
He never imagined that this long-awaited wedding would end like this.
The bride had already fainted from the blow.
Prince Edward had her thrown out.
He didn't have the slightest affection for her, only full of anger.
This wedding, no longer counted.
The guests watched a free comedy and left with their own conversations.
When the auditorium fell silent, Prince Edward finally burst into tears.
As Warm Tea passed by her with Arthur, Prince Edward grabbed her by the leg of her trousers.
"Did you already know?"
That's why I asked him again and again.
Are you sure that's your bride?
Wen Cha shook his head without changing his face, and said with a smile: "How would I know, I was just surprised by what you did, how could someone take shoes and look for a bride."
Prince Edward sat down on the ground in a daze, finally realizing what the girl had said when she left.
If my shoes fit, they won't fall off.
