Chapter 282
Nangong Qian put down Nangong Lian and lightly patted Nangong Lian’s bare hands. Lin Jia Er walked over wearing a red groom’s wedding uniform. Nangong Qian looked at Lin Jia Er as he placed Nangong Lian’s hand on Lin Jia Er’s hand and said, “Take good care of my sister!”
Lin Jia Er held onto Nangong Lian’s hand and felt a burst of excitement in his heart. He had finally married the woman he loved! Looking at Nangong Qian, Lin Jia Er held onto Nangong Lian’s hand and swore, “I, Lin Jia Er, swear that from today onwards, I will only have one wife. If I go against what I said today, I will … …”
Before she could finish her words, Nangong Lian had already broken free and covered her mouth. Nangong Lian was very touched. Although she was a princess and would always be the mistress of anyone she married, there were a lot of men in this world who had three wives and four concubines. However, Nangong Lian was reluctant to part with such a vow on the day of the wedding. She was even more afraid that these unlucky words would make the wedding unlucky.
“This King hears your oath!” Nangong Qian’s face turned a lot better after hearing Lin Jia Er’s words. For a man to make such a vow on the wedding day showed that he was thinking of his royal sister. Even though Lin Jia Er’s status was low, he still thought it was enough.
Lin Jia Er helped Nangong Lian onto the bridal sedan chair, then he bowed to Nangong Qian and sat on the big horse and headed back to the Lin Residence. However, many of the capital’s women looked at the dowry with red eyes, while many of the men secretly ridiculed Lin Jia Er for following a good master and marrying a good wife.
Nangong Qian looked at his sister’s bridal sedan chair as it left the palace and headed towards the Lin Residence. He mounted it and rode towards the Lin Residence. If one were to say that Nangong Qian belonged to his family, he shouldn’t have left the groom’s house. However, he couldn’t afford to hide his status there. Furthermore, Nangong Lian only had him as her relative.
When Nangong Qian arrived at the Lin Residence, the bridal sedan had not arrived yet, but Shang Wuxin and the rest had already taken their seats. When Nangong Qian arrived at the Lin Residence, the sedan had not arrived, but Shang Wuxin and the others had already taken their seats.
Today, Shang Wuxin was wearing a white robe embroidered with lotus flowers. Although it was feminine, the aura exuded from Shang Wuxin’s body, causing many women to blush as they looked at him.
“Why are you here?” Could she be able to make Nangong Lian suffer grievances? Moreover, hadn’t Nangong Qian’s actions caused many people to feel that Lin Jia Er was not worthy of Nangong Lian? In an instant, Shang Wuxin’s protective personality returned.
How could Nangong Qian not understand Shang Xin’s intentions, but he did indeed plan to do so. However, the words that came out of his mouth turned around, “Since royal sister is marrying, I have to come and take a look. Otherwise, if my parents are not here and I don’t have any relatives, my royal sister will feel uncomfortable at times!”
These words were reasonable, Shang Wuxin did not have anything to say, the several people at the table began to gossip, and Han Xuanhao was the most restless one, who told him to wear women’s clothes and cover his face while staring at the identity of the Crown Prince’s wife? Even Nangong Qian and the rest could not do anything about it. After all, they could not do such a thing.
At this moment, he saw many guests get up and head for the manor’s entrance. It seemed like the bride had come. No matter if it was Shang Wuxin’s status or identity, he could not do such a thing at this table. Hence, he sat there and waited for the bride to enter.
However, after a while, he saw Lin Jia holding a red silk cloth in his hand. On the other side of the red silk cloth was Nangong Lian, who had a red silk cloth over her head.
Many of the people who came to watch the ceremony did not even mention that Lin Jia Er already had an official position, and very few people did not give face to the Crown Prince’s power and favor. Now that the Duke of Qing’s faction had been eradicated, the entire imperial court was ruled by the Crown Prince.
Just as they were about to salute, Eunuch Xu’s voice rang out, “The emperor has arrived!” Everyone stood up to salute and saw Emperor Shang dressed in a simple yellow embroidered robe entering the main hall. When they saw that Lin Jia Er and Nangong Lian were about to bow and bow, they quickly waved their hands.
“Today, I have come to be an elder. I wonder if Prince Qian feels that I have crossed the line!” Emperor Shang laughed. Lin Jia Er had no parents, and even Nangong Lian was the same. Although Nangong Qian’s status was high enough, he was still just an elder brother, so his position was empty. However, he didn’t expect Emperor Shang to make such a decision.
Nangong Qian looked at Shang and knew that this must have been arranged by Shang unintentionally. Otherwise, how could Emperor Shang do such a thing? He was also very grateful towards Shang’s arrangements. His only sister’s wedding was like this without any regrets.
Lin Jia Er and Nangong Lian were also flattered, but the two of them knew that their pride would not alarm Emperor Shang. Lin Jia Er was also very grateful to Shang Wu, and he felt that it was a blessing to have such a master in his life.
Nangong Qian smiled and said, “That is Lian’s fortune!” Without even mentioning the fact that he was the Emperor of Shang, Nangong Qian respected the Emperor of Shang because he said he was the Emperor of Shang. The fact that the Emperor of Shang was the Emperor of Shang and his father, Nangong Qian respected the Emperor of Shang even more.
Emperor Shang sat on the highest seat in the hall and watched the two newbies bow to him with a smile on his face. However, he would occasionally look at Shang Wuxin who was sitting there and wonder when his daughter would be able to get married — no, marry these people into his family!
Of course, Shang Wuxin could feel the gaze of Emperor Shang, and he could also feel the gazes of the men around his table. However, he was only observing the ceremony. Many people felt that the Emperor must want to marry the Crown Prince. Although the reputation of the Crown Prince was for both men and women, it was not as if the Crown Prince did not have a big family of his own. Besides, the Crown Prince only had a woman serving him at his side, and everyone felt that once the Crown Prince ascended the throne, the consequences of the Minister of the Left would be obvious.
“Ceremony, send to the bridal room!” Eunuch Xu’s voice brought back many people’s thoughts. They were all congratulating Lin Jia Er. Lin Jia’s eyes followed the bride far away, but seeing so many guests, he knew he couldn’t be rude, so he could only endure the heat in his heart and toast the guests. As for Emperor Shang, he had already sat at the table with Shang Wuxin, and only this table was worthy of him. But fortunately, Emperor Shang had already ordered everyone to play around, so the wedding wasn’t too serious.
Lin Jia Er had left many guests who came to congratulate him with the Blood Sang Army to their brothers to deal with. Otherwise, he would have to let these people drink him to the point of fainting. Then, how would he deal with tonight’s bridal ceremony?
Lin Jia Er brought his wine cup to Shang Wuxin’s table. He was about to salute but was stopped by Shang unintentionally, “Your wedding today, there’s no need for these pretense!”
“Crown Prince, your subordinate wishes to toast you!” Ever since he lost his parents, he had been living on the streets, working as a bandit and robbing house robber. Later on, when he became more sensible, he specialized in robbing money from the wealthy official’s family. If he did not meet the crown prince, perhaps he would have been a bandit his whole life. It was not like the current him, where he had a brother and a friend who had married his beloved girl and became an official. He did not have much hope in this life, he only wanted to be loyal to the crown prince in the future.
Looking at the cup of tea, Shang Bin was in a daze. After sitting beside him for so many years, Nangong Qian coughed and quickly poured a cup of tea for Shang by his side. Although Nangong Qian felt that Shang Wuxin’s drunken look was cute, but he was unwilling to let others see it.
After all, everyone knew that the Crown Prince didn’t drink, and the secret guards of the Crown Prince’s Palace had discussed the matter behind his back, saying that the Crown Prince looked like a sickly, pretty boy. However, everyone was only teasing to see that the Crown Prince had the ability to do so.
At this moment, a Xue Shang soldier, who was today’s butler, walked over. With a serious voice, he said, “Crown Prince, a woman wearing a veil has arrived. She says that she is here to congratulate the Crown Prince’s subordinate on his marriage!”
Everyone knew this person was here for the crown prince. Even Emperor Shang frowned in displeasure. Whose child was so rude? Even if he wanted to pay a visit to the crown prince, he shouldn’t have arranged such a big wedding.
This was giving Lin Jia Yu face. After all, this mansion was the Lin Residence and was also the wedding of Lin Jia duo. No matter who it was, she could not do something so ignorant.
Lin Jia laughed and said, “Crown Prince, if you have anything to do, you can settle it. The Lin Residence is your subordinate, but it is also given to you by the Crown Prince!” Lin Jia Er did not care about his status. His words made Dauntless and the rest smile as well. If they were to climb to the top, they would forget about people like their master.
Shang carelessly nodded his head and then said to the Blood Shang Army, “Then invite that lady in!”
At this moment, an official joked, “Could it be that one of the crown prince’s confidants has come to look for him?” Normally, no one would dare to joke around like this, but today was a lively day with Emperor Shang so that they could do as they pleased. Thus, everyone became a bit bolder.
“A soulmate? The crown prince only has me, don’t you think so, crown prince? ” Han Xuanhao said in dissatisfaction. Regardless of whether it was a man or a woman, they had to completely eliminate all possibilities.
The official looked at the woman sitting beside the crown prince in a daze. That’s right, this woman seemed to have become a bewitching demon. What other woman could be compared to this kind of woman? He then awkwardly sat down.
Emperor Shang almost sat down when he saw Han Xuan Hao, he once thought Han Xuan Hao was a woman, and thought that his daughter had delayed his true feelings, but when he later realized that Han Xuan Hao was a man, he was not too scared, but fortunately, he was a bit feminine, but his martial arts were good, and it was rare for him to be so pleasing, so he never asked about Han Xuan Hao. Now that Han Xuan Hao was dressed in women’s clothes and acting like a spoiled child, even if he had watched too much of his age, he would not be able to bear it.
“I can’t stand you being a soulmate. Do you still want a few more?” Shang Wuxin suddenly teased, frightening everyone. The Crown Prince really did favor this woman!
Just as Shang’s unwittingly teasing voice ended, the veiled lady entered the hall …
