EBE Chapter 150 Gao Xian's face instantly turned ugly.
Chapter 150 Gao Xian's face instantly turned ugly.
Seeing that she was about to turn into a little crybaby, Qin Jiuwei immediately stepped forward, took her hand and placed it in her palm.
"Today is your big day, you mustn't cry."
"I know, cousin, I'll be strong." Jiang Yunzhu nodded gently, but her voice still trembled with a hint of tears. "It's just that there's something I can't help..."
Qin Jiuwei chuckled helplessly and wiped the corner of her eye with a handkerchief.
Upon seeing this, Gao Yunzhi burst out laughing.
Jiuwei's cousin is really cute.
She turned to look at Jiang Yunzhu.
Jiang Yunzhu is getting married today. She has applied makeup to her face, making her look exceptionally radiant and beautiful.
He looked so wronged and pitiful at that moment, his eyes red like a little rabbit's.
Gao Yunzhi liked it more and more the more she looked at it.
Sure enough, beauties are always surrounded by other beauties.
She likes any beautiful woman.
Seeing her crying pitifully, Gao Yunzhi gently coaxed her, "We're all in the capital, it's not like we're going to die. We can still come out together to have tea, admire flowers, and play polo. Don't cry anymore."
She laughed and said, "You won't look good if your makeup is ruined by crying."
Jiang Yunzhu nodded gently and said in a low voice, "I...I understand."
Sometimes she just can't control her tears. Even though she knows she shouldn't cry, the tears still fall on their own.
Seeing that she had stopped crying, Qin Jiuwei immediately ordered a maid to come over and touch up her makeup.
Once everything was ready, the maids outside urged them on, for the Shen family's bridal sedan chair had arrived.
After placing the red veil over Jiang Yunzhu's head, Xiao He said that the young master was looking for her, and Qin Jiuwei responded.
Today is Jiang Yunzhu's wedding day, and Jiang Chirang is naturally present as well.
Qin Jiuwei had just stepped out the door when she bumped into him.
But this time was different from before; Jiang Chirang simply nodded slightly at her.
He called out to his cousin in a calm voice, and then said nothing more.
Since he didn't speak, Qin Jiuwei naturally didn't say anything more. After calling him "cousin," she turned around and left decisively.
Qin Jiuwei could tell that Jiang Chirang seemed to be intentionally avoiding her, which was fine.
Jiang Chirang only turned around and stared at her back after she had walked several steps away.
Her long eyelashes drooped slightly, concealing the loneliness and desolation in her eyes.
He still can't forget the expression on Jiuwei's face when Xie Yanli crushed the cup that day.
There is no room for anyone else among them.
These are my concerns and obsessions over the years.
It's time to let it go.
Jiang Chirang stood still, his back to the camera, his tall figure fluttering slightly in the wind.
By this time, the streets were already crowded with onlookers.
The Jiang and Shen families were already famous in the capital, and everyone wanted to witness the grand occasion of the wedding.
As the wedding procession drew nearer, the joyous music grew louder, and firecrackers crackled and popped incessantly.
The bridal sedan chair landed steadily in front of the Jiang family's gate.
Shen Xingjian, dressed in a red wedding gown, now wore a gentle smile on his handsome, angular face.
He nimbly dismounted and strode into the Jiang family home.
Surrounded by the crowd, Jiang Yunzhu was helped into the bridal sedan chair. With a shout of "Lift the sedan chair!", the wedding procession set off in a grand procession toward the Shen family.
As we walked into the bustling city street, the noise of the crowd seemed to pause for a moment.
Chen Xiuming was seen kneeling there in a disheveled state. His face was haggard, and his eyes revealed a hint of resentment.
Jiang Yunzhu, inside the bridal sedan chair, glimpsed Chen Xiuming's appearance through a gap in the curtain. A slight, almost imperceptible, cold smile appeared on her lips.
Shen Xingjian rode a tall horse, his posture upright, his eyes fixed firmly on the road ahead.
He naturally noticed Chen Xiuming, but his eyes remained completely unmoved, as if Chen was just an insignificant passerby.
Chen Xiuming fainted on a busy street that day.
The Imperial Guards were afraid that if Chen Xiuming died here, they would have a hard time explaining themselves.
They agreed to the Chen family's request and told Chen Xiuming to go back and rest first.
They were all soldiers trained by General Shen.
They witnessed Chen Xiuming trying to strangle General Shen's wife that day.
General Shen also specifically instructed that Chen Xiuming should be "well supervised".
They certainly wouldn't let Chen Xiuming slack off in the slightest.
Once Chen Xiuming had recovered somewhat and was able to get out of bed, they immediately dragged him to the bustling street corner.
Make him keep kneeling.
As the lively sounds of the procession faded into the distance, Chen Xiuming looked up.
His gaze was fixed on the bridal sedan chair, his eyes filled with resentment and malice.
He won't let them get away with this!
He's in this state because of them! It's all their fault!
On the other side, the bridal sedan chair landed steadily in front of the Shen family's gate.
Shen Xingjian dismounted first, walked quickly to the sedan chair, and personally lifted the curtain, his eyes full of tenderness and expectation.
Jiang Yunzhu took his hand and stepped lightly off the bridal sedan chair.
The Shen family home was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers. Shen Xingjian's parents stood at the entrance of the main hall, their faces beaming with smiles.
The Jiang family has a clean background, and Jiang Yunzhu is well-behaved and sensible.
They were extremely satisfied with this marriage.
Jiang Ling and his wife also arrived at the Shen family home with the wedding procession.
Seeing his daughter get married, Jiang Ling's eyes welled up with tears, and he felt very gratified.
Surrounded by the crowd, the two slowly entered the main hall. Red candles flickered and incense smoke curled in the air.
Shen Xingjian and Jiang Yunzhu stood side by side in the center of the wedding hall. Under the master of ceremonies' loud announcement, they began the wedding ceremony.
As the couple bowed to each other, Jiang Yunzhu looked up and met Shen Xingjian's affectionate gaze.
Her heart skipped a beat, and her cheeks flushed.
Seeing Jiang Yunzhu get married with her own eyes, Qin Jiuwei's eyes couldn't help but sting a little.
In this life, many regrets have finally been made up for.
"Young Master." Zizhu walked to Xie Yanli's side with a serious expression and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Hmm." Xie Yanli instructed calmly, "Make sure you are settled in properly. I will be there in a moment."
Upon hearing this, Qin Jiuwei turned to look at him with some concern, "What's wrong?"
"We have a distinguished guest."
Qin Jiu's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly. "Distinguished guest?"
-
"Your Majesty, this humble subject pays his respects—"
Upon hearing that the Emperor had arrived, Shen Xingjian paid his respects to Heaven and Earth and then came to see him.
Jiang Yunzhu, the bride, had already been delivered to the bridal chamber.
Gao Xian was traveling incognito and did not want to cause too much trouble, so he only sent Shen Xingjian.
"No need for formalities," Gao Xian said with a faint smile, looking at Shen Xingjian in his red wedding attire.
Then he waved his hand, and the servant immediately brought over two jars of wine.
"This is a wedding gift I have prepared for you: two jars of thousand-year-old Lingzhi Jade Dew Wine."
The wine jar is made of Hetian white jade, which is pure white and flawless. The body of the jar is carved with exquisite dragon and phoenix patterns and cloud patterns.
Shen Xingjian immediately curtsied and said, "Your Majesty, this humble subject thanks you."
Xie Yanli and Qin Jiuwei arrived at this moment and bowed to Gao Xianfu.
“No need for such formalities,” Gao Xian said immediately.
As he spoke, his gaze lingered on Qin Jiuwei for a moment before shifting away.
"Your Majesty, I am hungry." A clear and melodious female voice suddenly rang out.
Shen Xingjian then noticed that there was a woman sitting next to the emperor.
The woman was wearing a plain-colored silk dress and had no other adornments.
He had initially thought it was some kind of maid.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that it was Consort Chen, the most favored concubine in the harem.
Mo Qingkui also looked at Shen Xingjian at this moment, her eyebrows slightly raised.
Is this the groom for today?
Ha, it's nothing more than a feudal arranged marriage.
What happiness is there to speak of?
It couldn't compare to her match with Gao Xian, who fell in love at first sight.
Qin Jiuwei watched from the side without saying a word.
Gao Xian has always doted on Mo Qingkui.
If I have the chance to leave the palace, I will definitely take her with me.
She was also the only person in the palace who received this kind of favoritism.
Unlike her, who never left the palace after entering it in her previous life.
Seeing that Consort Chen was hungry, Shen Xingjian immediately turned to the maid and instructed her to prepare lunch.
Soon, a sumptuous lunch was prepared.
One of the dishes was particularly special, called Crispy Mountain, which Mo Qingkui specifically requested.
Crispy mountain is made by heating crispy pastry until it is partially melted, shaping it into a mountain on a plate, freezing it in an ice cellar, and then garnishing it with fresh fruit.
This dish is not common; the ice cellar itself is already quite rare.
Fortunately, the Shen family has a deep-rooted heritage, so they are able to make this dish.
Mo Qingkui scooped up a spoonful of crispy mountain with a porcelain spoon and put it in her mouth, squinting her eyes in satisfaction.
Turning his head, he saw that Gao Xian's expression didn't change after eating, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly.
These men have no idea how wonderful desserts can be.
She glanced at Qin Jiuwei, who was sitting upright to the side, and her eyes lit up when she saw that Qin Jiuwei hadn't eaten.
"Hey woman, would you like to try this crispy mountain? It's very sweet and delicious!"
Big men don't understand, but she definitely will!
What woman can resist delicious desserts?
As she spoke, Mo Qingkui handed the crispy mountain to Qin Jiuwei, wanting her to eat it.
At this moment, Xie Yanli suddenly spoke up.
"This is too cold, my wife can't eat it."
Upon hearing this, Gao Xian's expression instantly turned ugly.
