Chapter 225 The night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber
When they arrived at the palace, Leng Qingchen kicked the sedan chair, opened the curtain, and reached out to pull Princess Yi out of the sedan chair.
The bridesmaid prepared Qianhong, and the two of them each held one and walked forward.
"Jump over the fire basin." shouted the bridesmaid.
Princess Yi walked straight over and they entered the lobby.
The Prime Minister saw the newlyweds arrive and shouted, "The auspicious time has arrived. Let us bow to heaven and earth and wish you a long and happy marriage!"
The two men knelt down and bowed.
"I bow to my parents twice, for their kindness in raising me is as heavy as a mountain."
Leng Qingchen and Jiang Wanyi bowed together to the four relatives sitting in the hall.
The Prime Minister continued to shout: "Husband and wife bow to each other, raise the case to the same level as the eyebrows, and live together until old age."
The two of them bowed to each other and saluted each other.
"The ceremony is over, send her to the bridal chamber, and wish her a son soon."
The palace maid supported Princess Yi, and Leng Qingchen walked with her towards the bridal chamber.
Arriving at the bridal chamber, Leng Qingchen ordered, "Come here, prepare a banquet and place it here so that the princess won't be hungry."
"Yes!"
Leng Qingchen picked up Ruyi and lifted the red veil.
The bridesmaid followed behind, walking slower, and her red veil had been lifted when she entered the house.
She hurried forward and said, "Oh, my prince, why are you still lifting your veil? It's not time yet."
"How will my princess eat if you don't lift the veil? Will she be hungry until night?"
"Bring the wedding wine!" ordered the King of Chu.
The bridesmaid shook her head helplessly: The prince really dotes on the princess and is afraid that she will be hungry.
A maid brought wine glasses to the two of them, and the bridesmaid said, "You are a match made in heaven. Today you drink the wedding wine together, and may you live in love until old age.
The King of Chu was overjoyed to have the beauty returned home. He said, "Go down and receive your reward."
Several of them went out happily.
Jiang Wanyi couldn't help but ask, "Brother Qingchen, how did you find out that the bride wasn't me?"
She had been holding this sentence in for the whole time.
Leng Qingchen said softly: "Her walking posture is different from yours.
You have a light fragrance of orchids, fresh and elegant, while she has a strong scent of cosmetics.
Even if she disguised herself as you, I still don't feel that kind of heart-beating feeling when I see her, so I conclude that she is a fake.
Now, she has been stabbed in the abdomen and is locked up. What should we do with her?"
"She is my father's daughter after all, so I'll leave her to him. I don't want her to marry me off and be accused of killing my sister.
If we return to Dongqin, I won’t see her again.”
"Everything is up to you. The food and wine will be served soon. I will go and entertain the guests first."
Jiang Wanyi nodded slightly.
The emperor married his beloved daughter to his wife, and all the civil and military officials in the court came to celebrate.
For a moment, the courtyard was bustling with activity...
After thirty glasses of wine and five dishes, Jiang Yu and the Queen returned to the palace.
Before they could sit down, Leng Qingchen's two secret guards took Jiang Xueruo into the palace.
Jiang Yu knew the whole story and became furious. He picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it directly on Jiang Xueruo.
He was furious: "You are such a coward, you have such a guts, you have made me lose face.
Just because you want to marry the King of Chu, you dare to use such despicable means to deal with your own sister.
Don't you even look in the mirror and see how bad you are?"
Jiang Xueruo's face turned pale, and she knelt down to beg for mercy: "Father, I was wrong, I know I was wrong."
Jiang Yu slammed the table and stood up: "Come here, beat to death all the palace maids who served Jiang Xueruo.
Tomorrow, Jiang Xueruo will be sent to the Imperial Ancestral Temple and will never be allowed to leave. If she dares to escape from the Imperial Ancestral Temple without permission, she will be killed and imprisoned first."
At this moment, Jiang Xueruo regretted it deeply, but she had already made a big mistake. She begged bitterly: "Father, please forgive me this time. I don't want to go to the Taimiao. I don't want to go to the Taimiao."
Jiang Yu swung his sleeves and said, "Since it has come to this, why did you do it in the first place? You have brought this upon yourself.
Since you have done something wrong, you must pay the price. Order the imperial physician to stop Jiang Xueruo's bleeding first, don't let her die!"
Jiang Xueruo was carried out by the guards.
Jiang Yu was furious: "Come here, pass on the imperial decree. Jiang Xueruo's mother has failed to educate her properly and she is demoted to a commoner."
The queen did not plead for mercy. She glared in the direction where Jiang Xueruo left.
"Xue Rou is too bold. She actually tried to use someone else's power right under our noses. This is really too much. She deserved the King of Chu to stab her with a sword."
"Among my many children, she is the most wild, reckless, and reckless.
Going to the Taimiao can also help her calm down, otherwise she won't know when she will cause a disaster again."
"Your Majesty is absolutely right. Wanyi has only been down the mountain for a month, and she's already getting married.
The time she has spent at my side can be counted, and now she has to go to Dongqin after getting married. I really can't bear to let her go."
After he finished speaking, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, and as he blinked, the tears rolled down like drops of pearls.
Jiang Yu embraced the queen in his arms and said, "How could I bear to do that? My junior sister is really capable. She actually used the beauty trick.
She used every trick in the book, and my precious daughter was abducted away by her son.
When I saw Qingchen coming, I felt like there was a pit waiting for me to jump into, and Wanyi jumped into it anyway."
The Queen sighed, “You can’t say your Junior Sister is setting a trap, Wanyi is also willing to this marriage.
I think Qingchen is not bad either. She has the Queen Mother as her backer in Dongqin, so our Wanyi will not suffer any loss."
"..."
The red candles with dragon and phoenix patterns in the wedding room flickered brightly.
There were big red wedding characters pasted on the windows and the rosewood wardrobe.
The boxes on the ground were filled with boxes of gold and silver jewelry, gems and jade.
In the center of the room, there is a big red golden nanmu wedding bed with carvings of dragons and phoenixes.
The bed is covered with a soft silk quilt embroidered with patterns of lotus and mandarin ducks, symbolizing the couple's deep love and long life together.
Red dates, peanuts, longans and lotus seeds are spread under the quilt, which means giving birth to a son soon.
Layers of red gauze curtains hung beside the bed, swaying gently in the wind, adding a touch of mystery and softness.
On the walls around, there are several paintings with auspicious designs such as small mountains and magpies climbing branches, each of which is lifelike.
On the incense table in the corner, there is a pot of blooming orchids. The flowers are gorgeous and fragrant, adding a touch of spring to this festive room.
The entire bridal chamber is decorated in a solemn yet warm manner.
The table was filled with various exquisite fruit plates and cakes, as well as a sumptuous banquet, the aroma of which was mouth-watering.
Jiang Wanyi and four maids sat there and started eating...
After the meal, the wine and food were cleared away, the longans and other things on the bed were taken away, and a snow-white bridal veil was laid out.
Outside the window, the moonlight was like water, gently falling into the bridal chamber, reflecting the candlelight inside.
Leng Qingchen was a little drunk and pushed the door open with the help of the secret guard.
Jiang Wanyi was sitting beside the wedding bed, having taken off her phoenix crown and changed into an ice silk inner garment.
"Princess!" Leng Qingchen came to Jiang Wanyi with affection in his eyes.
The maid and guards hurried out.
Jiang Wanyi said in a gentle voice, "Your Highness, you are drunk."
Leng Qingchen changed his usual coldness and said, "I am not drunk. I still have to go to the bridal chamber."
"You've drunk so much, I'm afraid you won't be able to tonight."
"You'll know if it works or not after trying it."
After saying that, he domineeringly hugged Princess Yi into his arms and fell directly on the bed.
Leng Qingchen waved his hand, the bed curtains fell, and they began to make love inside, not knowing what was going on in the world...
It is:
Young and pretty girls are in love with each other,
The love in the brocade tent lasts forever.
Xingpo unaware of coming to the hotel,
The mad soul is suspected to have entered the immortal boat...
