The villain who defeated the son of destiny was my father

The next day, the streets of the capital were bustling with the sound of drums and gongs.

The streets and alleys are decorated with lights and red silk fluttering, all filled with a festive atmosphere.

Pedestrians on both sides stopped to watch.

The wedding procession was like a long winding dragon, marching towards the Prime Minister's Mansion in a mighty manner.

The groom, who was in the lead, was wearing a red wedding gown embroidered with a golden python, a luxurious golden crown on his head, and a big red flower across his chest. He looked heroic, with uncontrollable joy in his eyes and eyebrows.

He was riding a tall, snow-white horse, the horse's body was covered with red brocade, and the saddle and bridle were inlaid with gold and jade, shining with a dazzling light.

He bowed from time to time and thanked the people around him, with a smile on his face and a look of great satisfaction.

Following closely behind was a gorgeously decorated sedan chair carried by eight people. The body of the sedan was made of vermilion and painted with colorful auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes. Strings of pearl tassels were hung all around the roof of the sedan chair, which swayed gently with the steady steps of the sedan bearers, making clear and pleasant sounds.

In the team, the gong and drum players were beating their gongs and drums vigorously, and the suona players were puffing up their cheeks.

Along the way, gongs and drums sounded loudly and the sounds of joy resounded through the sky.

The roadsides were crowded with onlookers, and everyone was looking at them strangely.

"It seems that Prince Li really likes the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He even made such a big scene. It must have cost a lot of money."

"Prince Li must really love this second young lady. Before, she pretended to be a legitimate daughter and plagiarized other people's poems, which ruined her reputation. But Prince Li didn't care at all and went ahead to marry her. It's obvious that he really cares about this girl and dotes on her."

"Although she is a concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she was born to a maid who climbed into his bed and was never acknowledged by the Prime Minister. Now she has married Prince Li and become his Consort, which can be considered a turnaround. But her character is too despicable, and I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse for Prince Li to marry her."

"To be honest, the life story of Prince Li is exactly the same as that of the prime minister's concubine. Both of them have mothers who climbed into bed with them. Their fathers are superior and their mothers are inferior. Their status is extremely awkward, so it is inevitable that they feel sympathy for each other. The two of them know each other and love each other. They are quite a match and sympathize with each other."

Amidst the murmurs and discussions, the wedding procession finally arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's Residence.

But when everyone saw that there was not even a piece of red silk or a single "囍" character on the solemn and dignified door, they could not help but feel very surprised.

Mo Li frowned slightly, dismounted, walked forward and said to the guards at the gate: "Excuse me, today is the auspicious day for me to marry your eldest daughter. I wonder why the Prime Minister's Mansion is not prepared? Is there something you can't tell me?"

This is a marriage granted by His Majesty. Besides, Qu Xinzhu is the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter. Even if the Prime Minister is not satisfied with him as a son-in-law, he should not do this.

The guards at the door didn't even look at him, standing on both sides with expressionless faces.

Mo Li suddenly felt that he had lost face, his face turned pale and blue, but he finally held it in.

He asked a few more questions humbly, but the guards in the Prime Minister's Mansion were like stone statues, not saying a word.

Hearing the mocking voices from the people around him, Mo Li felt even more embarrassed.

At this moment, the door opened from the inside.

With the help of the people around her, the bride walked out slowly with light steps.

She was seen wearing a phoenix coronet and a shawl, with her head slightly lowered, and walking slowly as if she was shy.

Seeing this, Mo Li felt a little relieved.

He hurried forward to greet her, "Zhu'er, you finally came out."

"Li, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time." Qu Xinzhu's voice was gentle, like a feather that touched people's hearts.

Mo Li was moved and reached out to support her, "Zhu'er, it is my blessing to marry you."

"Me too." Qu Xinzhu's heart was filled with sweetness.

Wen Suhua, who was standing next to them, saw them and looked at them with relief, but she kept looking around from time to time, with anxiety visible in her eyes.

Soon, we saw Qu Wenshi leading a long team of people coming towards us from the road next to us, with music and dance.

"what is that?"

"It should be a dowry."

"There are so many dowries. Who said that the second young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion is not favored? Aren't these dowries prepared by the Prime Minister?"

"Oh my God, this dowry is endless. Could it be that there are hundreds of pieces? It seems that the rumors are wrong. The Prime Minister doesn't hate this concubine's daughter that much?"

Everyone around turned their eyes to the dowry, including Mo Li.

He concealed his excitement, bowed to Qu Wenshi, and said to the bride beside him with guilt: "Zhu'er, I have just been crowned as a king and established my own residence. I only have a meager salary. The betrothal gift I sent is very insignificant compared to that. I am sorry that you have been wronged."

The dowry that Mo Li asked someone to send was not much, otherwise she would not have to worry so much about the dowry. However, she knew very well that this man was just a dormant dragon that would one day soar into the sky.

"Li, I love you as a person, not those vulgar things. Even if you are not a prince, but just an ordinary person with nothing, I still love you."

The bride spoke in a loud voice, and everyone nearby could hear her.

They reversed their previous contempt and ridicule and began to praise the bride's noble character.

The woman under the veil raised her lips slightly, revealing a triumphant smile.

Mo Li also looked grateful.

"It is my king's good fortune to have such a wife!"

The couple whispered to each other through the red veil.

"Your Highness Prince Li, it's getting late. Don't miss the auspicious time. You should quickly bring Zhu'er back to the palace to get married." Wen Suhua was worried that something unexpected might happen, so she reminded him.

Qu Wen also hurriedly urged, "Yes, yes, yes, don't miss the auspicious time, go back to the palace and worship."

After saying that, the two of them supported Qu Xinzhu and prepared to go towards the bridal sedan.

"Grandmother, where is my father-in-law? I haven't met Master Taishan yet, which is not in accordance with etiquette."

As soon as Mo Li finished speaking, the expressions of the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren suddenly changed.

The people around also talked aloud, wondering why the Prime Minister did not go out to see them off on such a happy day.

Is it true, as the rumors say, that Qu Xinzhu, a concubine's daughter, is not favored by Prime Minister Qu? Is this why there is no sign of jubilation in the Prime Minister's residence?

But Madam Qu has come out, so what's the matter with the more than 100 pieces of dowry? Wasn't this prepared by Prime Minister Qu?

Everyone was confused by the situation.

Seeing the discussion around her getting louder and louder, Wen Suhua was worried that she might miss something important, so she hurriedly said, "The Prime Minister is going to marry his daughter off, and he was too reluctant to let her go last night, so he drank a lot of wine. He is still not sober, and there is no telling when he will wake up. You should go back to the palace first, and the old lady and I will take care of her here."

"That's right, the prime minister is drunk and is resting. Don't miss your auspicious time because of him, get on the sedan chair quickly." Qu Wenshi also hurriedly followed up with a lie.

Mo Li was slightly surprised, and turned back to ask the bride beside him, "Zhu'er, look at this..."

"My father did make me drink quite a bit of wine last night, so he's still hungover. As the younger generation, we can't disturb him any further, so we'll go back to the palace to get married. When we return home, we'll make sure to apologize to my father." Qu Xinzhu's voice sounded a little anxious.

Mo Li had no time to doubt and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, a voice mixed with sarcasm came out from inside.
