For the past three days, Chu Moxi had been standing in the courtyard, seemingly in a daze as if she was waiting for someone.
The Mortal Pavilion was filled with people who came and went unceasingly. This was something that Chu Mingjing had sent over to 'protect' Chu Moxi in order to prevent her from escaping.
Chu Moxi snorted in disdain. If they were going to protect her, then there was no need to send even Lin Xuan over, right?
She did not care, and could only say that Duke Chu's actions were just a joke.
In Chu Moxi's eyes, the total number of people in Duke Chu's mansion couldn't even compare to a single Lian …
"How are you, Chenchen?" Chu Mo Xi looked at the half-moon. She seemed to be talking to herself, but at the same time, she seemed to be sighing.
To Chu Moxi, there was no difference between the Duke Chu's Mansion and the Duke Chen's Mansion.
Both of them were cages, and they were also cages that could not trap her, Chu Moxi.
Today was the day of Chu Moxi's wedding, so the Mo Dawn Pavilion was deserted.
The bed in the room was a set of wedding clothes. Chu Moxi sat in the room and stared blankly at the slightly pale face reflected in the mirror.
"Married just like that?" He had a faint smile on his face, but it was hard to tell if it was a smile of pleasure or sarcasm.
Her eyes fell on the red wedding dress on the bed, and a mocking smile appeared on her face. She lifted her finger and took the slightly complicated bridal dress into her hands. It was a pretty good piece of fabric! "It's really a waste."
"Boss …" Suddenly, Lian'er's voice came from outside.
Chu Mo Xi slowly stood up. Seeing Lian'er enter the courtyard, she revealed a smile on her face.
"Lian'er, long time no see!"
Lian'er stared at the casually dressed Chu Moxi. Her eyes were red. "Boss, it's all because Lian'er harmed you …"
"Silly Lian, aren't you from Duke Chu's Palace to the Duke Chen Palace? "What's the matter? Quickly get me dressed. You know, I won't …" Chu Moxi had always been depressed about this otherworldly woman's clothes being so complicated.
Luckily, the clothes that Chenchen had given her last time were simple and pretty. From then on, Chu Moxi's clothes were made in that style and color.
"Yes …" Seeing Chu Mo Xi's awkward appearance, Lian'er's tears turned into a smile. Her boss had no choice but to dress.
"Lian'er, do you know who that Prince Chen is?" Chu Moxie, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, allowed Lian'er to dress and comb her makeup. Suddenly, she asked in a light tone as if she was asking a completely unrelated person.
"Boss …" Lian'er's hands stopped moving.
A smile appeared on Chu Moxi's face, "Lian'er, tell me, I just want to know what kind of person it is." If it was a young genius, would it be my turn?
"Boss, Prince Chen was the half-brother of the Emperor. He was doted on by the late emperor when they were both princes. Prince Chen is the most intelligent man in our Mu Ling Empire. He represents the Mu Ling Empire in other empires. He has done many meritorious deeds for the Mu Ling Empire, and is greatly loved and respected by the citizens of the Mu Ling Empire. When the late emperor passed away and Prince Chen returned to the capital, he met an assassin on the way. He fell off his horse and became an idiot. After that, the current Monarch ascended to the throne, and the news spread. Princess Mu Xuan, the fiancée that Duke Chen had married at the time, immediately came to cancel the engagement, and in the past, Prince Chen was the most beautiful man in the Mu Ling Empire, yet Mu Xuan … " Lian'er kept her mouth shut. How could she forget that her boss was going to marry Prince Chen? Lian'er secretly took a glance at Eldest Brother and noticed that there wasn't the slightest change in her expression. She then heaved a sigh of relief in her heart.
"Took in the late emperor's pampered? Encountering an assassin? Falling to idiocy? "Marry a waste? Hur Hur. This Prince Chen is really in a difficult situation with this lady!" A hint of ridicule could be seen on the corner of Chu Moxi's mouth. She wouldn't believe it even if the Duke Chen didn't have any trace of that Monarch.
Hehe, this Monarch really has some talent! " "Boss, what are you talking about?" Lian'er heard Chu Moxi mumbling, but couldn't make out what she was saying. She was somewhat puzzled and asked.
The boss couldn't be mad because he found out that he was going to marry an idiot, right?
"It's nothing. I just feel that this Prince Chen is a bit pitiful …" A bright light flashed in Chu Moxie's eyes, "Lian'er, there must be a lot of demons and devils in Prince Chen's mansion. You should remember not to provoke them for the time being." The Monarch had quite a few claws and fangs, and she didn't want to alert the enemy. Most importantly, Chu Moxi was very 'grateful' to this Emperor who had bestowed him a marriage.
"Yes." Lian'er nodded. She didn't know why her boss would say that, but she would listen to anything he said.
Compared to the deserted front yard, the front yard of Duke Chu's mansion was extremely festive.
The place was decorated with lanterns and decorations, from the gate to Sunset Courtyard. People came and went, and the people who came to congratulate were Lu Fang. The three madams of the Duke's Mansion, the concubines, and the maidservants were all crowded together in this Sunset Courtyard.
There were those who wore wedding clothes, made up makeup, as well as those who cleaned up Chu Mu's dowry and gifts. Those gifts filled the several tens of large boxes in the room to the brim.
A complacent smile blossomed on Chu Mu's face. Ever since she was young, her dream had been to marry General Lin's mansion's Young Master Dew.
Today had really been his wish, and he had married that bitch on the same day. Originally, she was not happy with this arrangement, but after seeing her earlier words, she finally felt like why her elder sister had given her such an arrangement.
The two young mistresses of the Duke Chu Palace had gotten married on the same day. The eldest young mistress' courtyard was extremely cold, and the third young mistress' courtyard was bustling with noise and excitement. His father had arranged for the third young miss to leave the mansion through the main entrance and the first young miss to leave the mansion through the side door of the backyard, for fear of missing out on Jicheng and for fear of colliding with the third young miss.
Anyone with a discerning eye would know that this was Duke Chu's deliberate action to humiliate Chu Moxi in the end.
The auspicious hour had arrived!
A group of people had already arrived at Duke Chu's door to escort the bride. The one sitting at the front of the group on the Crimson Blood Horse was the Eldest Young Master of the General Lin Family, Lin Chu Bai.
Behind him was a group of guards in formal attire. There were nearly eighteen of them. Behind it was a bridal sedan. The top of the palanquin was filled with magpies and phoenixes, fluttering in the wind. A matchmaker of Elder Xu and his wife followed beside the bridal sedan. Then there was the Rites, playing their wedding band.
As for the back door, there was only a carriage with a red flower on it. Then, there was a person who looked like a servant quietly standing there.
Half an hour before the auspicious hour arrived, Yunque, the first madame's personal maid, brought more than ten strong maids with her as she hurried towards the Masked Dawn Pavilion.
"What's the matter?" Lian'er had an ugly expression as he asked Yunque Qi.
"Eldest Miss, the wedding procession has arrived. You should get on the bridal sedan." Yunque directly ignored Lian'er and only looked at Chu Moxi with contempt.
"Isn't there still an hour left before the auspicious time?" Lian'er blocked Yunque's path in front of him.
"The First Madam feels that a slut like the Eldest Miss does not have the qualifications to leave the residence at the same time as the Third Miss!" Yunque directly waved his hand behind him. Out of ten maids, three of them pulled Lian'er away while the rest rushed towards Chu Mo Xi.
Lian'er's body started to release an ice-cold aura, preparing to throw these people out. Yet, he was stopped by Chu Moxi. Lian'er! Since they want to play? This old lady will accompany them! "
There was an indifferent smile on her face. Was it not enough to humiliate her? Would he need to use more strength? I'll be accompanying you!
"Let me go, I'll go help our Miss." Lian'er withdrew her spirit essence and stared at Yunque Zi as she spoke.
When the skylark saw how tactful Chu Moxi was, it immediately waved its hand to have the maids release Chu Moxi and Lian'er. Then, it quietly waited at the side for the two of them to leave the courtyard.
Lian'er helped Chu Moxi up before riding her large horse out of the Mo Xi Pavilion. She did not linger and left straight away. Her red hair fluttered in the cold wind like a little red bird that was about to fly away.
As soon as he walked out of the side door, Yunque, who had followed him, immediately slammed it shut.
Lian'er and Chu Moxi's bodies stiffened at the same time, then they continued to walk towards the carriage.
"Excuse me, are you part of the wedding procession?" Lian'er's voice was choked with sobs as she looked at the cold carriage. Why is boss's marriage so desolate? Her family was not welcomed, not even by her in-laws.
"What wedding procession?" The steward of our Duke Palace has come to bring you all in. " The attendant's tone was light, and there was even some disdain in it.
"You …" Lian'er felt like slapping him to death as she looked at this young servant who was not dragging him down.
"Lian'er, don't move, now isn't the time to attack." Only after they were out of Duke Chu's mansion would they truly begin. Chu Mo Xi hid the last sentence in her voice.
"Yes." Having been with Chu Moxi for so long, Lian'er naturally understood the boss's intentions. She indifferently cast a glance at the attendant who still didn't know of the impending tragic end of the scene, then supported Chu Moxi into the carriage.
At the moment, Jun Li was standing facing the wind. Chu Mu was dressed in red and had a red veil over his head. Behind him were two maids holding her somewhat long skirt, waiting for the auspicious hour to come.
Yunque Zi hurriedly returned to the Mu Rou Pavilion from the side door and reported, "Reporting to the Madam and Young Miss, Chu Moxi has already left the residence."
"Alright, I will allow Lu Bai to enter the mansion." Judging by the time, they would just happen to bump into each other in front of the door. When that time came, Chu Moxi, I'll see if you can bear the humiliation or not.
"Yes …"
The Moties immediately busied themselves, and the bride bade farewell to her loved ones.
After all the ceremony, the auspicious hour arrived, and the matchmaker came to greet the bride. Then the bride's dowry was taken out of the room one by one, and the family went out to see the bride off.
The bride was brought to the bridal sedan by the matchmaker, and the wedding band began to blow.
The surrounding streets were crowded around to watch the Duke Chu Palace's young miss getting married. They were all amazed by the bustling scene in the Residence of Chu.
"Get up the palanquin!" The matchmaker gave a loud shout as the wedding procession started to turn around. At this moment, on a small path to the left of Duke Chu's mansion, a carriage with only a single red flower stuck in it drove out.
