Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

After leaving Qushui Pavilion, Yan Ci and Xie Chengyin both breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Ci handed one of the two jars of wine in his hand to Xie Chengyin, and sighed: "It's not a wasted trip."

Xie Chengyin's face turned a little blue, and he looked at Yan Ci with a little resentment, feeling both annoyed and ashamed.

What is going on? It would be fine if Yan Ci was confused, but he also made a fool of himself. He was really embarrassed.

Thinking back to the time when he met Yan Ci, this was not the first time he had done something so embarrassing. The last time he crawled through a dog hole in the prime minister's residence had already made him lose all face, and this time he had pushed his bottom line even further.

Thinking of this, Xie Chengyin couldn't help but quicken his pace back.

Yan Ci had been out for some time and was about to go home. Seeing Xie Chengyin running back like he was escaping, she was actually happy.

Some people felt more embarrassed, but she felt less embarrassed.

Yan Ci shouted at Xie Chengyin's back: "See you at the wedding!"

Instantly, the pedestrians around them looked at the two of them in surprise. This time, Xie Chengyin didn't even turn his head and walked faster.

In a blink of an eye, April is here.

On the eighth day of the fourth month in the twenty-third year of Tianqing, Prince Xiang got married.

On this day, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was gentle. The entire Dongdu was immersed in a festive atmosphere. The wedding of Prince Xiang was undoubtedly the most anticipated event in Dongdu.

Quite a number of people had already gathered on the street, all of them looking forward to it, wanting to be the first to see the spectacular scene of King Xiang's wedding.

The common people had all witnessed King Xiang’s first wedding two years ago, so they couldn’t help but make some comparisons while watching the ceremony.

Passerby A said: "Although this scene looks grand, it feels a bit bluffing."

The people next to him also nodded. Who said it wasn't true?

Passerby B then said, "Of course not. The girl that King Xiang married last time was the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion. Not to mention that she is the niece of His Majesty's Empress and the cousin of the current Crown Prince, her heroic demeanor alone is incomparable to that of ordinary girls."

Passerby C said, "The girl he married this time is not from an ordinary family, she is the daughter of the prime minister, and her aunt is also the queen of his majesty."

Passerby B said, "How can they be the same? Although they are both queens, how can the first empress and the second empress be compared? If Queen Hua was still alive, there would be no place for Queen Xiao. In other words, if Miss Hua was still alive, there would be no place for Miss Xiao. So, the status of the Hua family is not comparable to that of the Xiao family, so it is normal that the wedding is inferior."

Passerby B spoke very convincingly, with a smug look on his face, as if he had seen through everything.

At this time, a middle-aged woman with a chubby face squeezed through the crowd and walked to the side of Passerby B. She raised her hand and grabbed his ear, "Zhang Jiaqiao, you are capable, right? What are you talking about here? If the government officials hear you, you will die without knowing how! Go home quickly, there is a basin of diapers waiting for you to wash!"

The people around burst into laughter, and Zhang Jiaqiao suddenly felt humiliated. However, with his fierce wife by his side, he could not remain tough and could only run away in the crowd in shame.

This little thing did not attract many people's attention. With the arrival of Prince Xiang's wedding procession, everyone's attention turned to Prince Xiang who was walking in the front.

Today, King Xiang is wearing a bright red tuxedo embroidered with auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes, and a dragon and phoenix hexagram on the outside. The collar and skirt on one side are golden yellow, with sable on the outside and five-colored clouds in between, while the other side is bluestone with gold flakes as the edge and embroidered with gold thread.

He wore a golden crown adorned with oriental pearls, which only highlighted his handsomeness.

He rode a tall horse through the wide street with a faint smile on the corners of his lips. It was obvious that this marriage was very much to his liking.

Wherever the wedding procession of Prince Xiang's Palace passed, there were elite soldiers guarding on both sides, keeping the noisy people outside. Therefore, the noise in the crowd did not affect the wedding, but added some excitement.

When he arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Shen Zhaoyan dismounted swiftly, walked quickly to the door, and saw Xiao Yizhen walking out surrounded by the crowd.

The wedding dress had the same pattern as Shen Zhaoyan's. The hem of the dress was long and dragged behind her. Her hair was covered with gorgeous pearls and jade, which colliding with each other as she walked, making clear and pleasant sounds.

She held a folding fan in her hand, which covered her pretty face, and only her beautiful eyes could be seen, looking around with radiance.

Shen Zhaoyan took two steps forward, held Xiao Yizhen's white, tender and slender hand, and led her towards the Hongluan sedan chair behind him.

Xiao Dingyan stood at the door and watched the grand wedding procession, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes. He returned home only after the two left.

Everything has been prepared at Prince Xiang's mansion. The guests who want to watch the ceremony are already waiting in front of the wedding hall, just waiting for the newlyweds to return and worship at an auspicious time.

Emperor Tianqing did not leave the palace to watch the ceremony. He only bestowed some rewards and congratulated the newlyweds on their wedding.

But Empress Xiao specially came out of the palace to attend her son's wedding. She was dressed in an elegant and noble phoenix robe, her high bun was embellished with pearls and agates, and a nine-phoenix hairpin was pinned on her temples, highlighting her respected status.

She sat in the seat of honor with a dignified manner. The palace maid beside her whispered something in her ear, which made her smile. She became less stern and more gentle.

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess also came to attend the wedding. Compared to the others who were dressed up elaborately, the two of them were dressed much more casually. One wore a moon-white robe, and the other a light yellow phoenix-tail skirt. One looked dignified and elegant, and the other lively and cute. They were almost unrecognizable in a crowd.

Originally, Shen Zhaoyong had not planned to come. Although Shen Zhaoyong was his biological brother, he always felt that it would be unfair to his deceased cousin to attend the wedding. However, Jiang Yun said that this was a rare opportunity to enter Prince Xiang's Mansion. Even if he couldn't make a scene at the wedding, he could always make some trouble secretly to vent his anger.

Shen Zhaoyong was very excited when he heard this, so he followed Jiang Yun.

Xie Chengyin came with his brother Xie Chengyi. As soon as he entered Prince Xiang's Mansion, he looked around as if he was looking for someone.

Xie Chengyi looked at his brother's expression and couldn't help but joked, "Looking for Miss Yan? She's not coming."

Xie Chengyin was surprised and said, "What! Not coming? She clearly promised."

Xie Chengyi said: "Oh, you promised it, what did you two agree on secretly?"

Xie Chengyin looked at his brother's gossipy expression and knew that he was being teased by his brother. He frowned and walked inside without saying a word.

Xie Chengyi laughed dumbly and took two quick steps to catch up, "Don't worry, your Miss Yan will definitely come. As the concubine's family, if she doesn't come now, the concubine's life in the palace will be difficult in the future."

Xie Chengyin walked with his head down and stopped responding to his brother's words, fearing that he would be laughed at by his brother again.

At this moment, Xie Chengyi's eyes turned and he saw Yan Tonglin and his wife who had just come in from the gate, followed by a pale figure.

He smiled and said, "Miss Yan is here."

Xie Chengyin glanced at his brother with a slightly cold look in his eyes, with a clear warning: Don't try to lie to me again.

What he got in return was Xie Chengyi's hearty laughter. He raised his hand to hook Xie Chengyin's neck and turned him towards the door, "I didn't lie to you this time."
