The bustling main hall suddenly became quiet, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you with expressions of disbelief.

Why did the emperor come to Prince Ling's Mansion? !

King Jin and King Ling got married on one day. All civil and military officials and even everyone in Kyoto were sure that the emperor would either not leave the palace, not drink the wedding wine of his two sons, or would only go to Prince Jin's Mansion. How could he come to Prince Ling's Mansion?

Isn't Prince Ling the emperor's most hated son? After Concubine Chen's accident, the emperor threw Prince Ling to guard the imperial mausoleum. Prince Ling almost died of illness there.

The two princes held weddings on the same day, which really put the civil and military officials in trouble these days. They didn't have the skills to separate themselves. After drinking one prince's wine, they couldn't drink that prince's. The queen was deliberately suppressing King Ling and forcing them to take sides.

How can King Ling, who has broken his leg, compare with King Jin? If they don’t drink King Jin’s wedding wine on their big day, what future will they have if King Jin takes that position in the future?

The civil and military officials almost unanimously chose to go to the Prince Jin's Mansion for the wedding banquet, but the Prince Ling's Mansion had to ignore it. It was inconvenient for the couple to drink the wedding wine separately, and it was also not good that the wedding banquet held by the Ling Prince's Mansion was all female relatives, so the civil and military officials asked their sons to come to the Prince Ling's Mansion. Drink wedding wine.

Today, those who came to Prince Ling's Mansion to congratulate them were all young masters from aristocratic families, and a group of close friends led by Mrs. Yun. They were not only separated by identity, but also by age. But the most isolated thing was that the emperor was also here.

Old Mrs. Yun did not expect that he would be able to see the emperor in his lifetime, and his close friends did not expect to go to Beijing and drink the wedding wine of Mrs. Cheng Yun's granddaughter. Even if they drank the wedding wine of his grandson's daughter, they would still be able to see him. Tianyan, this trip to Kyoto is really not in vain, you have benefited from Old Master Yun.

Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan didn't expect the emperor to come, so they stood there in a daze.

Shen Wan felt happy in her heart and silently apologized to the emperor for her previous misunderstanding. The queen suggested that the emperor arrange the wedding banquet of Prince Jin and Shen Ying on the same day as theirs. Not only was it to make Xie Jingyan look bad, but it was also directed at her. Come, the emperor will do what the queen wants. Shen Wan believes that the emperor does not care about Xie Jingyan's feelings. She did not expect that the emperor would come to Prince Ling's Mansion.

The queen stole the chicken but lost the rice, and was humiliated. Now the queen and King Jin should have received the news that the emperor came to Prince Ling's Mansion. I wonder what they feel in their hearts at this moment. Are they uncomfortable?

Anyway, Shen Wan was in a happy mood, but she didn't know if Xie Jingyan was unhappy. Just as she was thinking about it, the person next to her spoke in an unhappy voice, "Who told you to take away the tablet of my mother-in-law? Put it down!"

In the quiet wedding hall, his voice was particularly loud and cold.

No one thought that the emperor would come. The memorial tablet of Concubine Chen, the mother of Xie Jingyan, was placed in the high hall. However, the emperor sent Concubine Chen to the cold palace and even angered Xie Jingyan. No one dared to let the emperor see the tablet of Concubine Chen. , the Minister of Rites, Zuo Shilang, quickly asked his servants to take down Concubine Chen’s tablet, not expecting to anger Xie Jingyan.

Xie Jingyan didn't have any expectations whether the emperor would come to Prince Ling's Mansion or not, but he hoped that his mother and concubine could see him get married. If the emperor came and wanted to take down the memorial tablet of his mother and concubine, then the emperor had better not come. Good.

The boy had already picked up the tablet. Xie Jingyan suddenly became angry. The boy was so frightened that he shook his hand and knocked the tablet down. The boy hurriedly straightened it up.

The emperor stepped into the wedding hall and happened to hear Xie Jingyan's words. His brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, but he didn't say anything. Everyone in the wedding hall knelt down to salute the emperor.

Everyone was preoccupied with kneeling and forgot to support Shen Wan. Xie Jingyan had difficulty standing on his legs, let alone kneeling.

Neither of them knelt, and the emperor said, "Everyone, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor walked past Xie Jingyan, his eyes fell on the tablet, he paused for a few moments, then sat down and said, "Let's pay homage."

The left minister of the Ministry of Rites shouted again:

"Worship heaven and earth."

Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan each held an end of red silk and worshiped heaven and earth.

After worshiping heaven and earth, then go to the high hall.

Chen Feng wanted to help Xie Jingyan turn around.

Xie Jingyan raised his hand to stop him. He turned around with difficulty, very slowly. He was so close that he could clearly see his forehead trembling.

What others can do easily, he has to use all his strength.

Shen Wan didn't understand why he had to stand up. Is it different to pray to heaven and earth in a wheelchair? They were just pretending to get married, and it wasn't real. It didn't have to be like this.

After worshiping in the high hall, it is time for husband and wife to bow to each other.

The two stood opposite each other, a little closer, and their heads touched when they bowed.

It doesn't hurt.

But the strange feeling in Shen Wan's heart rose again.

Shen Wan was thankful that her head was covered and no one could see her face, which was so red that it could bleed.

She looked at the boots Xie Jingyan was wearing, which were embroidered with unicorns. She looked up from the boots. Shen Wan froze when she saw the lotus jade pendant worn on Xie Jingyan's waist.

That jade pendant...

It was given to him by his sweetheart, who was still clutching the piece in his hand when he died from being pierced by thousands of arrows in his previous life.

When this jade pendant was delivered to Xie Jingyin in her previous life, the tassels on it had been stained red with blood. Xie Jingyin even asked her if she knew who gave this jade pendant to Prince Ling...

She asked Xie Jingyin at that time, but he didn't say anything. He just threw the jade pendant back into the tray casually. As a result, the jade pendant flew out of the tray and fell to the ground, falling apart.

She knew that Xie Jingyan had a sweetheart, but did she want to wear the jade pendant given to her on the big day? Was this a warning to herself to keep her body as pure as jade?

Shen Wan was distracted and forgot to stand up. Xi Niang smiled and said, "You don't have to pray for so long, get up quickly."

Shen Wan didn't get up, and neither did Xie Jingyan.

The two stood up straight. Xie Jingyan could no longer hold on and sat back in the wheelchair.

The left minister of the Ministry of Etiquette shouted, "The ceremony is completed and sent to the bridal chamber——"

Shen Wan was supported by Xi Niang, and she walked through the nine-winding corridor, all the way to Mo Yuxuan, entered the wedding room, and sat down on the wedding bed.

As soon as she sat down, the sound of wheels rolling could be heard. Xie Jingyan stopped in front of her and sat next to her.

Then he took the wedding scale handed over by Xi Niang and took off the hijab on her head.

Eyes facing each other.

Shen Wan had always known that Xie Jingyan was good-looking, and he was so good-looking in his bright red wedding dress that she couldn't take it out of her eyes.

She didn't know whether it was because she was shy or because she didn't dare to look further, for fear of getting caught up in it. Shen Wan almost caught his eyes and quickly moved away.

The maid brought over a glass of wine, and Xi Niang smiled and said, "If you drink a glass of wine, your life will last forever."

The two reached for the wine and linked arms. They were so close that they could hear each other's heartbeats.

After drinking a glass of wine, Xiniang spoke auspicious words. Shen Wan blushed, but Xie Jingyan was very happy, "Thank you."

Xi Niang thanked her profusely and then left.

Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan were the only two people left in the new house.

Shen Wan was inexplicably nervous. She thought she should say something to avoid the awkward atmosphere. However, when she glanced at her head, she saw a pair of smiling eyes and forgot to react.

Xie Jingyan's eyes never moved away from Shen Wan's face, and he saw her looking at him. Only he could see in those clear eyes, and her lips were as delicate as washed cherries, glowing with an alluring luster.

The two of them just looked at me and I looked at you.

By the time Shen Wan reacted, Xie Jingyan was already very close to her and about to kiss her.

Shen Wan was confused, quickly glanced at his face, and then stood up.

Fortunately, Xie Jingxuan's call came from outside the door, "Brother Six, why don't you come out? Everyone is waiting for you."
