Chapter 138 The wedding turns into a farce
Princess Rui wanted to teach Su Yunling a lesson, but before Su Yunling could fight back, Princess Su's expression changed.
"My daughter-in-law has no right to be judged by outsiders, even if she is unruly. You have crossed the line, sister-in-law!"
Princess Su did not have amazing eloquence, nor was she a talkative person, but her aura when she was angry was not comparable to that of ordinary women in the harem.
Sure enough, the noisy courtyard suddenly became quiet. Princess Rui had always thought that Princess Su was a fool, so when she saw that she was angry, she was frightened by her terrifying aura.
The two of them just stared at each other from a distance, and the atmosphere was very stiff.
The ladies hurriedly took the opportunity to persuade the couple to reconcile. After all, this was a happy day and everyone should be harmonious.
Princess Rui then remembered that her son was getting married today. She was indeed impulsive.
But when she looked at Princess Su and her mother-in-law, she found them so annoying that she could only feel comfortable if she belittled them.
"No wonder this star of disaster has no manners. It turns out that someone is setting an example for her. This is what they call "If you are not from the same family, you should not enter the same door", right? She treats this star of disaster as a treasure. I'm afraid she has forgotten the fate of the Su family, which was destroyed by her. She doesn't even know when she is about to die, tsk~"
Su Yunling sneered: "Princess Rui, I see your forehead is black, it's not certain who will die!"
"You...you actually cursed me?" Princess Rui was so angry that she was fuming.
"Weren't you the one who spoke unkindly first?" Su Yunling looked indifferent, turned around and took Princess Su to the banquet.
Princess Rui was so angry that she was about to curse when she heard someone report that something happened to Xiao Nanchuan and Aunt Su.
Everyone looked confused. Su Yunling smelled the lively atmosphere and took this opportunity to secretly "give a big gift" to King Rui.
Before Emperor Jingzhao died, she had to get rid of Prince Rui first.
After she had hidden the evidence of Prince Rui's crimes in various places in the palace, she went to watch the fun.
At this time, there was a lot of noise in Yanbo Pavilion. In addition to the female members of the family, it seemed that Prince Rui had also come.
When I squeezed closer to take a look, I realized that Su Yueying, a lowly concubine, had actually changed into a bright red wedding dress, and the hall had already been decorated as a wedding hall.
Upon asking, they found out that Xiao Nanchuan had just been married to Su Yueying here, but a talkative servant told everyone about it, and the people from the Fu family happened to hear it.
The auspicious time for the wife to get married has not even arrived, but here he has already gotten married with a concubine.
Isn't this a slap in the face of the Fu family?
No matter how patient the Fu family was, they couldn't swallow this humiliation, so they started making a fuss.
"You, the Rui Palace, are going too far. It would be fine if you just wanted to enjoy the blessing of having two wives, but on the first day you favored your concubine over your wife. Since you don't take my Fu family seriously, then let this marriage not be a success!"
The person who spoke was the mistress of the Fu family, who had rushed over after hearing the news, and was also Miss Fu's mother.
When Princess Rui heard that the Fu family was furious, she could only explain with a fake smile for the sake of the Rui Palace's reputation:
"Mother-in-law, this is all a misunderstanding, we..."
"Misunderstanding? Princess, do you think we are all blind? Or stupid?"
Princess Rui was choked. The whole hall was filled with red silk that was only for the main wife to use, and the well-fitting wedding dress on Su Yueying, it was obvious that it had been prepared in advance.
She had no way to defend herself.
Xiao Nanchuan protected Su Yueying behind him without saying a word.
Although Su Yueying had to be a concubine for the time being, he promised to give her the status of a legal wife.
He doesn't feel like he's at fault.
As for Miss Fu, he had no intention of marrying her. If she could accept Su Yueying, he would give her the position of legal wife. If not, he would give her a letter of divorce.
When Master Fu saw how the Rui Palace was humiliating his granddaughter, he finally made up his mind and took the dowry and the person away with a wave of his hand.
"Tomorrow, I will petition His Majesty to cancel the marriage between the two families!!!"
"Master Fu, please don't regret your whole life because of a momentary impulse." Who is Prince Rui? Apart from Emperor Jingzhao, has he ever taken anyone seriously?
Even though the incident was not very decent, he did not feel that he was wrong.
The fault was that the Fu family didn't appreciate the favor.
If they offended the Rui Palace, he would have to wait and see how they would gain a foothold in Shangjing in the future.
A wedding banquet turned into a farce.
All the guests were in an uproar. Should they continue the meal or adjourn it?
Miss Fu was carried into the house less than two hours later when she was carried back.
Outside the palace of Prince Rui, the people who were watching the excitement were all dumbfounded.
Strange things happen every year, but this year there are more of them.
"Getting married, but the bride ran away, what's the point?"
"Weren't two people carried in today? One left, but there's still one left!"
"That's right. The one who stayed behind is the one that Young Master Xiao loves the most. Now that Miss Fu has left, isn't this just the right thing for them?"
Just as the people had discussed, the Rui Palace was not at all thrown into disarray by the departure of Miss Fu. Instead, it acted as if nothing had happened and allowed Xiao Nanchuan and Su Yueying to get married.
Su Yueying didn't expect that it would be so easy to squeeze out the third party. She finally became the heroine of this wedding.
When the couple bowed to each other, Su Yueying did not forget to give Su Yunling a provocative smile.
So what if she is a concubine on the surface? She still wins this round.
"Ugh~" Su Yunling felt nauseous.
Su Yueying's eyes shot towards her like knives.
Su Yunling didn't tolerate her at all and glared back at her fiercely.
"Mrs. Su, if you have any dissatisfaction with this prince's wife, why not tell me? Are you asking for some 'reward' on this day of great joy?"
As soon as Su Yunling finished speaking, the whole room fell silent.
Su Yueying woke up as if from a dream. It was true that she was married to Xiao Nanchuan now, but her status was no longer on the same level as Su Yunling's.
Xiao Nanchuan no longer had the title of Crown Prince, so even if she received his favor, she would still be just a concubine.
For a moment, her face looked extremely ugly, and she felt embarrassed as if she was in a difficult situation.
Xiao Nanchuan stood up for Su Yueying again and said to Su Yunling with a cold face: "Don't go too far, Princess. Today is the wedding day for Yingying and me."
Xiao Jichen strode forward and protected Su Yunling behind him. "Can you be disrespectful to the Crown Prince's Consort on your wedding day? Or is this Rui Palace not the territory of the Great Yin King, so you can disregard etiquette and hierarchy?"
The tension between the two men made the atmosphere dangerous.
King Rui put away the murderous look in his eyes and went up to separate the two. "That's enough! I've made a fool of myself today. Please take your seats..."
Su Yunling shook Xiao Jichen's arm and said, "Forget it! The bride has already left. I dare not eat at the banquet for taking a concubine. It will be troublesome if the emperor gets angry."
Her words inadvertently reminded many guests. Some of them came from Prince Rui's Palace, while others came for the sake of Grand Tutor Fu.
If they pretended nothing had happened and continued to stay for the banquet, wouldn't that offend Grand Tutor Fu?
So, as Prince Su and his entourage left, people began to find various reasons to leave.
Soon, less than half of the guests were left at the originally lively wedding banquet.
Obviously, Master Fu’s prestige cannot be underestimated.
Prince Rui was so angry that he smashed the cup. Su Yueying nestled in Xiao Nanchuan's arms, looking indifferent as if it had nothing to do with her.
"Your Majesty, what should we do if the Fu family reports this to the Emperor?"
"What are you afraid of? Jiang Shan's surname is Xiao, not Fu..."
As soon as Su Yunling arrived at Baicaotang, she met an uninvited guest on the second floor.
Xuan Mo had come upstairs at some point and was sitting at her tea table waiting for her.
"What are you doing here?" Su Yunling frowned unhappily.
"Little fox, I'm so sad." He turned around and looked at Su Yunling with hurt eyes.
"If you can't bear to see your sweetheart marry someone else as a concubine, then go grab her! Don't come here to get sick!"
The melancholy in Xuan Mo's eyes deepened a little, "Seeing you and Xiao Jichen go out together, I'm really going crazy..."
