Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 417: Getting married and successfully marrying into the palace

Yao Qingnian heard the dog barking. She couldn't sleep so she got up and walked to the back garden. She saw the big yellow dog coming back from outside. "Big yellow, why did you go out so late?"

"Woof woof!" Dahuang barked twice.

"Don't run around so late at night, or you'll be caught and stewed. Here, I'll give you a chicken leg, eat it and go to sleep!" Yao Qingnian threw the chicken leg into Ah Huang's bowl and turned around to go back to rest.

The dog was exactly the one Yao Qingnian rescued from outside. When he was found, its leg was injured, so he was brought back and raised in the backyard to heal its wound. It has gotten much better in the past two days. It strolls around in the backyard and always likes to wag its tail when it sees people. When the servants in the mansion see it, they will throw a bone or something to it. The dog is very popular in the backyard.

The next day was the day Shen Youran married into the palace. Early in the morning, Yao Qingnian was woken up and went to Shen Youran's yard to help. Although she was reluctant, she was still a member of the mansion after all, so she had to cheer up and go to her yard.

Today, Shen Youran was wearing a scarlet wedding dress, like a beautiful flower blooming in the warm spring sun. The dress was embroidered with exquisite pomegranate patterns, representing many children and good fortune. The scarlet silk shone with luster, which contrasted with her snow-white skin, making her even more beautiful and charming.

She wore a dazzling golden crown on her head, with pearls and jade made of gold and silver threads hanging on both sides. Her face was rosy, her eyebrows were as black as distant ink, and her eyes were as affectionate as autumn water.

After relatives and friends gave their blessings, as the auspicious time approached, Shen Youran came out of the yard and went to the front hall to bid farewell to the old lady and Shen Wenting.

Chen Shuhua and the Shen family were in such a bad relationship, and after learning that she was Shen Wenting's biological daughter, she did not come.

"Dad, grandma, Youran won't be able to serve you anymore. You have to take care of yourselves." With tears in her eyes, Shen Youran bid farewell to Shen Wenting and the old lady with reluctance.

"You Ran, the palace has strict rules. You need to be careful with your words and actions, and be diligent and self-disciplined." The old lady held her hand and said with red eyes. "When you marry into the palace, you should know the etiquette, be honest and modest, observe the rules of being a wife, respect the prince, and not be arrogant and willful. You should always put the overall situation first. Okay, go! Don't miss the auspicious time."

The royal palace's wedding procession arrived at the gate in a mighty procession. Shen Youran, supported by the bridesmaid, slowly walked out of the yard.

The old lady looked at Shen Youran's back with tears in her eyes. From now on, Youran belonged to the Rui Palace.

With the blessings of the crowd, Shen Youran boarded the sedan chair. With a shout of "Lift the sedan chair", the sedan chair was slowly lifted up and moved towards the palace. Along the way, the sound of drums and music continued, and the people stopped to watch.

Finally, the bridal sedan arrived at the gate of the palace. Prince Rui had been waiting there for a long time. He was dressed in a gorgeous dress, handsome and elegant. When he saw the bridal sedan stop, he personally stepped forward, opened the curtain, and welcomed Shen Youran down from the sedan.

Under the guidance of the bridesmaid, Shen Youran and Prince Rui walked into the hall of the palace. The hall was already full of guests and very lively.

After going through a series of rules and etiquette, Shen Youran finally came to the last step and served tea to the wife of King Rui.

Under the guidance of the bridesmaid, she slowly came to the Queen. She leaned forward slightly, held a cup of tea in both hands, handed it to the Queen respectfully, and said softly, "Sister, please have some tea."

Princess Rui nodded slightly, her expression calm and gentle. She took the teacup, took a sip, then put it down and raised her hand slightly, motioning her to stand up.

He said in a steady tone: "Now that you have entered the palace, you must serve the prince well in the future."

Shen Youran bowed her head and replied, "I will follow the princess's instructions."

After the tea ceremony, Shen Youran was escorted to the bridal chamber, which was decorated warmly and luxuriously, with red candles flickering, implying a prosperous life for the newlyweds. Shen Youran sat by the bed, waiting for the prince to arrive.

She waited for a long time but Prince Rui didn't come. She felt a little sleepy, so she asked Guihua, the maidservant who came with her as a dowry, "Why hasn't the prince come yet?"

"Miss, I don't know either."

Shen Youran's stomach growled with hunger, so she simply lifted the veil: "I'm so hungry, go find me something to eat!"

"Okay, miss, I'll go and take a look." The maid was about to go out when she bumped into a nanny.

"Where are you going?" The nanny's majestic voice sounded, scaring the little girl.

"Reporting to Madam, my young lady... no, my concubine is hungry. I will go find her something to eat."

"How disrespectful! The prince hasn't even come yet, but you've already lifted the veil. How disrespectful! Go back!"

"But..." The maid wanted to say something, but was glared back by the nanny.

"Hmm?" The nanny glared at the maid, and the maid had no choice but to lower her head and return to Shen Youran.

"Don't blame me, Ma'am. I haven't eaten anything all day and I was really hungry. That's why I asked the maid to find me something to eat. But if I don't eat, the baby in my belly..." Shen Youran said with a look of grievance.

"Concubine, there is no need to talk about the child. Once you enter the palace, you are a member of the palace. The Queen Mother specially asked this old servant to come here to teach you the rules..."

The nanny sent by the Queen Mother preached in the bridal chamber for an hour. Shen Youran almost fainted and cursed in her heart, "When will this old woman leave?"

"Concubine Shen, do you remember what this old servant just said?"

"I will follow Madam's instructions. I will remember them."

"Yeah." Seeing that she was quite sensible, the nanny nodded with satisfaction and asked someone to prepare some food for her and let her rest after eating.

"Mammy, is the prince not coming over today?"

"Have you forgotten what I just said? Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. You will come naturally when the prince comes." The nanny glanced at her.

"Yes." Shen Youran didn't dare to ask more and sat on the bed obediently.

After everyone left, Shen Youran finished eating everything that was brought to the table. Only then did she feel a little stronger. She took out a piece of silver and asked Guihua to find out where the prince had gone.

After a long while, the maid came back and said, "Concubine, I just went to ask around, and the prince went to the princess' place today, so I'm afraid he won't be here."

"What! The prince actually went to the princess on the wedding night. Is he trying to intimidate me?" Shen Youran was so angry that she took off all the pearl hairpins on her head and threw them aside. She felt that the princess must have done it on purpose. Why was this princess different from the rumors? Wasn't it said that she had a weak personality? How could it be...

"Concubine, please speak a little more quietly. Be careful that there are ears on the other side of the wall. This is our first day here, so we should first gain a foothold in the mansion." The maid carefully packed up the things and then helped Shen Youran change her clothes.
