Chapter 271: A big bow upon entering
Chapter 271: A big bow upon entering
Seeing that the topics of the people around him were getting more and more off-topic, the passerby who came from another place and happened to catch this happy event still hadn't figured out what was going on.
He asked, "I am indeed from another place. What happened?"
When this matter is mentioned, everyone has a lot to say. In the past few days, almost every street and alley has been discussing this matter.
Several people chatted with each other and explained to the outsider the fun they had in Beijing during this period.
The passerby sighed, "It's really strange that a prince has ended up like this."
"Who says it's not? I heard it's because of a woman."
"As expected, beautiful women are the most deadly troublemakers."
"Then he can't be a bald prince forever. Sooner or later, the emperor will make him a king, right?"
No one knows about this.
At this time, a person who was quite knowledgeable spoke up, "I think it's uncertain."
The man was confused again, "How could such a despised prince possibly marry the only daughter of the Censor?"
Even he might not be willing to marry his daughter to such a useless loser. He can do nothing but bring her a better life in the next life.
This question stumped everyone. Who would know?
Everyone saw how shabby the wedding procession was when it first arrived, and the liveliness now is also due to the wedding procession of the new bride.
Obviously, this grand occasion is entirely supported by the Censor's family.
Besides, everyone knows that the Censor is a favorite of the Emperor.
How could the daughter of a famous man marry a useless prince?
It's really unbelievable.
"Then perhaps, when the emperor calms down, he will still make him a king, right?" the man asked uncertainly.
This question stumped the people around who were "knowledgeable".
Someone laughed awkwardly and changed the subject: "None of this has anything to do with us. He's not favored anyway, so it doesn't matter whether he's crowned a king or not. If you ask me, when it comes to favor, it has to be our General Fu Ling'an, the Prince of Jing, who is truly favored."
Once the topic changed, the others echoed it.
"Yeah, but where has anyone ever seen a minister's son become a king?"
“This shows that this is what it means to truly win the heart of the Holy Spirit.”
"It brings honor to our family."
"Wasn't General Fu granted the title because he wanted Princess Shang?"
"Do you really believe this? Princess Shang has had so many consorts, how come General Fu was crowned king?"
"Exactly. It's because our General Fu is capable and has military achievements. How many victories has he won for our Qing Dynasty? I think it's not too much to confer him the title of Prince!"
This was said with some excitement, but it was not something they dared to discuss casually, so everyone fell silent for a moment.
The man also realized that he had said the wrong thing and laughed awkwardly. "By the way, should General Fu and Princess He Zhao be the next to get married?"
"Yes, this year is really lively, all the happy events are happening at the same time."
"Yes, yes, I have snatched a lot of money this year." Prince Yongheng was really generous. He snatched a lot of small change.
"Hey, what's the wedding money?"
"Don't you know how much silver was scattered when the prince got married a few days ago? There was even small change. I grabbed a lot of it."
"Oh my god, I heard about this too, but I thought it was fake, but it's actually real silver."
"He is a real noble and rich, how could he fool you with fake things?" He grabbed it, and he wanted to prove it for Prince Yongheng!
"Will the Fifth Prince be able to make money later?"
After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent. Just that shabby? It's hard to say.
Sure enough, they followed him from Chang Street all the way to the prince's mansion, but didn't see a single hair.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh. As expected, no matter how big the skinny camel is, it is still dead and useless.
When the wedding procession returned to the palace, the emperor not only did not allow Concubine Yu to attend, but he himself did not attend either, so the ceremony of worshipping in the hall and lifting of the veil were all very sloppy.
Although Yongqi smiled when he heard his mother's words, his expression did not change at all throughout the whole process, as if he was wearing a fake smile mask.
Smiling is much uglier than not smiling.
In this regard, Xinrong could only tightly hold the red satin and comfort herself.
This is the path she chose herself, and she has to keep walking on it with a smile no matter what. Besides, there will definitely be many people laughing at her and Yongqi. It's okay to laugh at Yongqi, but not at her.
This is not the most difficult moment yet. As long as she is willing to devote herself to her business in the future, will she still worry about being uncomfortable?
As for Yongqi, she was also clear about the situation in this mansion. Sooner or later, he would ask her for help. She hoped that he would not change his face when the time came.
As the words "The ceremony is over, escort them to the bridal chamber!" were spoken, both the guests and the newlyweds breathed a sigh of relief.
After the guests said auspicious words, they gathered together to drink the wedding wine. Yongqi took Xinrong's hand and walked towards the bridal chamber.
He will not consummate his marriage with Xinrong. He can only give her a status, and nothing else.
His whole body and heart belonged completely to Xiaoyanzi.
Yongqi's mind was full of Xiaoyanzi, and he didn't even notice that he was about to step over the threshold. As soon as he entered the room, he lay down on the ground and gave a big bow to the bridesmaid who was waiting in the room.
The matchmaker was also really shocked.
As an ordinary bridesmaid, she had never been involved in a royal wedding before, and she was feeling very nervous.
As a result, when the bridesmaid saw the groom lying down as soon as he entered the room, she thought it was a unique royal custom.
Just when he was at a loss as to what to do, Xinrong said coldly, "Fifth Prince is too careless. Help him up quickly."
With so many people watching him fall hard, Yongqi's face turned red. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to just crawl into the ground.
Xinrong was secretly happy. She had just seen the Fifth Prince distracted. Being distracted during the wedding was such a lack of concentration, which was a contempt and disrespect for her.
It seems that Yongqi didn't remember a word Xinrong said before the wedding: just respect.
So when entering the door, Xinrong did not remind Yongqi to pay attention to the threshold, and deliberately walked two steps slower and pulled him with the red ribbon.
It's just a small lesson for him.
Only then did the bridesmaid realize that the Fifth Prince had simply tripped and fell. She smiled inwardly, but still said auspicious words on the surface, "The harder the fall, the greater the blessing. The deeper the fall, the deeper the blessing. Prince and his wife will surely be blessed with great fortune in the future and have a smooth marriage."
Otherwise, it is said that the matchmaker should have this job. Such an embarrassing thing can also turn into a blessing.
Xinrong chuckled. There was no need for the couple to be harmonious, as long as she was happy.
After entering the house, according to the rules, the matchmaker has to tie the hair for the two and drink the wedding wine.
As a result, the Fifth Prince was already unhappy, and he became even more upset when he fell when he entered the door.
He waved his hand and said, "You've received your reward, so leave. We can talk amongst ourselves."
Even if the matchmaker didn't know the inside story, she knew from the Fifth Prince's expression that it was not a good thing.
After all, she didn't dare to listen too much or say too much about other people's family affairs. She was already very satisfied when she heard that there was a reward.
The reason for drinking the wedding wine or not is not that important.
Her mission was considered completed, so she quickly thanked him and left.
