Chapter 318 This is unbelievable
After entering the Miao border, the wedding party walked for another month and finally arrived at Yongcheng in Miaojiang, where the Miao imperial city was built.
The Eighth Princess looked at the towering city gate, her face pale, and she murmured, "This city gate is like a big bell, it wants to cover me."
The loneliness, helplessness and forbearance in her eyes were vaguely visible, and Yu Jiuer felt so distressed that she really wanted to take her away from the marriage.
The group stayed at the inn arranged by Miaojiang.
Not long after, the Third Prince of Miaojiang came to meet them.
This made Jun Mo and others feel something was wrong.
Shang Buqun asked directly: "Didn't the Sixth Prince come to receive his bride in person?"
Logically, since his bride had already arrived at his doorstep, there was no reason for the Sixth Prince not to come out and see her! Didn't he want to show some concern and greeting? This was unbelievable.
Weird, so weird!
The Third Prince responded perfunctorily, "Sixth brother has caught a cold and is afraid that he may pass the disease on to the bride, so he has asked me to come and meet her first. After all, the auspicious time will be in three days, and we will be able to see her then."
After the Third Prince left the inn, Jun Mo said to Yu Jiuer, "The Prime Minister and I will investigate the poison in the city in the next few days to see if we can find an antidote.
We are not at the inn, so you should keep a low profile and pretend to be Min'er's maid first, to prevent someone from using Princess Jing to cause trouble."
"Okay!" Yu Jiuer fully agreed with this point. The Eighth Princess was a princess married for a foreign mission, so they would not do anything to her. However, she was Jun Mo's weak spot. If Miaojiang had any intentions, they would probably capture her first to threaten Jun Mo.
Shang Buqun reminded: "Also, before we come back, you'd better stay in the inn and don't run around anymore!"
"Understood! We know the limits! Stop wasting time and come back quickly!" Yu Jiuer waved at them, pulled the Eighth Princess into the room, and explained everything to everyone else.
After the two guardians with great martial arts skills left, everyone couldn't help but feel a little panicked and silently prayed to the Bodhisattva to bless the wedding to go smoothly.
Three days later, the wedding was held as scheduled in the Miaojiang Palace!
But Jun Mo and Shang Buqun went out to find an antidote and have not returned for three days, and the wedding cannot be postponed, so everyone can't help but feel worried!
What puzzled Yu Jiuer was that the Sixth Prince had already set up a residence outside the palace, so why did the wedding have to be held in the imperial palace?
Shouldn't they just worship their ancestors in the palace and then get married in the Sixth Prince's mansion?
Yu Jiuer asked the palace's chief steward and others, and they all said in unison: "The Sixth Prince has not recovered from his illness and is temporarily staying in the palace. The wedding will also be held in the palace!"
With an uneasy heart, Yu Jiuer, who disguised herself as the Eighth Princess' maid, could only follow her into the palace to get married, and take things one step at a time!
However, when Yu Jiuer saw the eunuch coming out with a rooster in his arms, preparing to marry the Eighth Princess, she could no longer remain calm.
She sneered coldly, "What's going on? How did the Sixth Prince turn into a rooster? How can a princess of the Great East Dynasty marry a rooster? If the Sixth Prince is not in good health, then it won't be too late to marry him after he gets better!"
The Third Prince came out and scolded, "How dare you, little maidservant! What has this got to do with you? The Eighth Princess hasn't said anything, why are you butting in?"
As a maid, Yu Jiuer had no choice but to kneel down in fear and trepidation to admit her fault: "I have overstepped my authority!"
"She represents the Eighth Princess. What she asked is what I asked. What is going on?" The Eighth Princess asked through her veil.
"Eighth Princess, I'm so sorry! My sixth brother is still ill and can't come out to pay respects." The Sixth Prince said in a high-sounding manner, "It's better to use a rooster to pay respects instead of him, rather than delaying the auspicious time and affecting the marriage between the two countries, right?"
His tone was arrogant, and Yu Jiuer saw out of the corner of her eye that there was no apology in his eyes, but rather a sense of gloating.
She was about to stand up and retort, but Zhang Yun and Zhang Yu behind her immediately held her shoulders. Zhang Yu even leaned close to Yu Jiuer's ear and said to her, "Princess, don't cause trouble. The marriage is more important!"
Yu Jiuer shook off their hands in annoyance.
A princess married a chicken? How would the Great Dong Dynasty save its reputation if this got out?
Miao Jiang is clearly still holding a grudge against Xiang Fei and the Third Prince for their deaths in the Dadong Dynasty and is deliberately making things difficult for them!
Yu Jiuer held her breath and was about to fight, but was attacked by Zhang Yun from behind, who pressed her acupoints and made her unable to move.
The Eighth Princess turned her head to look at Yu Jiuer, and found that Yu Jiuer just lowered her head and did not speak. She mistakenly thought that Yu Jiuer wanted to settle the matter peacefully and not resist, so she could only follow the instructions of the matchmaker, walk into the ceremony hall, and start the wedding ceremony.
Yu Jiuer couldn't make any sound from her throat, and couldn't move her body either. She could only grind her back teeth in anger.
She swore that she would chop Zhang Yun to death.
I could hear the singing and chorus of the Eighth Princess paying her respects in the hall.
Until the last word "the ceremony is over" was heard, Yu Jiuer was so angry that she was shaking all over.
Perhaps she knelt on the ground for too long and attracted the attention of the shadow, so he emerged from the darkness.
I found out that she had been acupunctured, so I quickly unblocked her acupuncture points.
"Zhang Yun!" Yu Jiuer stood up and immediately turned around to settle the score with Zhang Yun, only to find that he had already escaped.
Zhang Yu was about to cry, and whispered to Yu Jiuer to apologize: "Princess Jing, I'm sorry! Please forgive my cousin's abruptness and presumptuousness. He also accepted the trust of my aunt and grandfather, and he had no choice but to do it!"
Yu Jiuer clenched her fists and said to her through gritted teeth, "For your own benefit, you let a princess marry a rooster. This will not only damage the reputation of the Eighth Princess, but also the reputation of the Great Dong Dynasty.
They are insulting the Great Dong Dynasty, can't you see that? You are so short-sighted! I wonder how you will explain this to the Emperor!"
But Zhang Yu muttered, "Didn't Prince Jing and the Prime Minister fail to save the situation? How can we be blamed?"
"Pa!" Yu Jiuer couldn't bear it anymore and slapped Zhang Yu in the face.
The guests, including the Third Prince, were confused and looked towards Yu Jiuer.
Yu Jiuer forced herself to smile and said awkwardly: "What a big mosquito!"
Now that things have come to this, blaming others is of no use. She only hates that this happened right in front of her. She was tricked by these two villains. She really trusted them too much!
Shadow kept his head down and quietly apologized to Yu Jiuer: "I'm sorry, Master! Zhang Yu blocked your shadow and we didn't notice anything wrong for a while!"
Yu Jiuer clenched her fists, her chest heaving as she said angrily, "How can you follow me with your brains? I'll deal with you when I get back!"
Yueying was the smartest one. If she were there, she would definitely not have been acupunctured for a long time without anyone noticing, and she would not have caused the Eighth Princess to marry a rooster?
Although she was angry, her current identity was the Eighth Princess's personal maid, and she had to serve the Eighth Princess as soon as possible.
Yu Jiuer took two steps at a time and stepped in before the door of the new house was about to close, pushing the door open.
But the bridesmaid blocked her figure and said: "Miss, you don't need to serve here, please go back and have something to eat! We have arranged a banquet for you in the front hall. You have worked hard, go and enjoy it! We will serve your Eighth Princess wholeheartedly."
Her actions made Yu Jiuer even more confused.
This is not normal!
Logically, the princess must be worried about marrying far away, and her husband's family would definitely not be so inconsiderate as to let her face a room full of strangers alone!
Yu Jiuer didn't care about that and pushed her away: "I can serve my princess by myself, I don't need you!"
The bridesmaid was pushed and staggered backward.
Yu Jiuer took the opportunity to slip in.
She quickly glanced around the new house and found nothing unusual, so she felt relieved.
The bridesmaid kept coming over to persuade her to go out, grabbing her arm and pulling her out.
Yu Jiuer shook off her hand and walked towards the Eighth Princess: "Eighth Princess, are you okay?"
The Eighth Princess's gentle voice came: "It's okay! You stay with me first! The bridesmaid, please step back!"
Only then did the bridesmaid not dare to do it again.
Not long after, the door of the bridal chamber was pushed open, and an old man in wedding clothes walked into the bridal chamber with a smile on his face.
"How dare you! Who are you? Why are you wearing a groom's suit and entering the bridal chamber?" Before Yu Jiuer had finished shouting, the bridesmaid and other servants in the room knelt on the ground and saluted respectfully:
"Greetings, Your Majesty! Congratulation ...!"
Yu Jiuer opened her eyes wide with a look of horror.
The Miao King? The groom is actually the Miao King who is over 50 years old?
I strangled it!
An old cow eats young grass, no wonder it is so secretive!
