The Duke's wedding ceremony was only second to the Crown Prince's wedding ceremony, since the Emperor didn't have a son, so the princes' wedding ceremony was no less than the Crown Prince's wedding ceremony. But taking into account the situation of Prince Rong, the Emperor had made a special decree, so Shang Yiqing didn't need to go through such complicated etiquette.
So before Shang Yiqing could understand what was going on, she was already sitting in her new room.
"Miss, it's still early. Do you want to rest by the bed first?" The servant girl looked like she saw Shang Yiqing sitting up straight, and whispered in her ear.
Hearing the maid's words, Shang Yiqing's body shook. That's right, she would have to wait for two hours before Prince Rong could come. It would be exhausting for him to sit there for two hours. "You're all waiting outside, right?"
The maidservants and mama in the bridal room bowed and then quietly retreated outside the door.
Hearing the sound of the maidservants leaving the room, Shang Yiqing could not help but heave a sigh of relief. She had not expected that the ancient wedding ceremony would be so complicated and tiring. Fortunately, the Emperor was generous, and the procedures were simplified. It was hard to imagine, if they followed the normal procedures, who knew how troublesome it would be?
However, the expression on Shang Yiqing's face right now did not have the shy joy a bride should have. Instead, there was an indifferent attitude between her brows, she had always seen this matter clearly, no matter who she married, it would be the same, this was still a 'rich second generation'. For a transcender like her who had no ambition, at the very least, she could guarantee that she wouldn't need to worry about food and clothing. Even if her husband died immediately, she still had a large inheritance.
Inside the bridal chamber, the fine carved sandalwood furniture, inlaid with gold and jade, exuded an ancient elegance and was extremely luxurious. The window frames carved with rosewood were blocked by crimson beaded curtains, and she slowly walked to the window to set up the window frame.
The cool wind outside the window seemed to be soothing her. She couldn't help but slightly press her lower lip and stretch out her hand out. The moonlight shone down on the back of her hand, making it seem very white.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, emitting a faint light. The starlight that was faintly discernable had a tranquility after the din. Everything before them seemed so beautiful. The only question was, what did that Prince Rong look like? Today's wedding was like a wedding without a groom. From beginning to end, he never saw the groom at the wedding. To be honest, this wedding was like a farce, a farce between the royal family and the empress. The empress cared for Prince Rong, which was why she married her to him.
Don't think about all this nonsense. No matter what, from today onwards, you will allow the wangfei to exist. A man shouldn't have the right to do so for a day, and this little girl can't do without money. Everything in this mansion, wasn't it his? Shang Yiqing smiled as she thought of this.
Following the sound of a door creaking open, the room's door that was plastered with the word 'double' was pushed open. Several servants supported a man in wedding clothes as they walked in …
Shang Yiqing looked back and saw the groom's pale face in the flickering red candlelight. His face was so pale that it was almost forgotten that he was a handsome young man. He was wearing a bridegroom's wedding suit. Perhaps it was because she was too thin, but when she wore the wedding dress on his body, it gave off an extremely thin and elegant feeling.
"May Your Highness and Princess Rest early." The servant helped Prince Rong sit on the bed, and after saying that, he left and closed the door.
This man was her husband, the dignified Prince Rong, Fang Zinan.
Shang Yiqing only glanced at him once before her expression changed. She took a few steps back and asked uncertainly, "Why is it you?"
Fang Zinan's cold gaze stopped on Shang Yiqing and he quickly moved away. His face revealed a trace of surprise before his expression returned to normal. His thin red lips moved as he asked in a soft voice, "Has the princess seen me before?"
"Of course I've met you!" Shang Yiqing walked over quickly. Even if she turned into ashes, she would still recognize him. She was the man who had watched her being bullied by two bad guys and took advantage of the situation to leave. Enemies met each other, but Shang Yiqing could not suppress the anger in her heart. She said angrily, "So you are Prince Rong. Do you remember the good thing you did that day?"
Fang Zinan's heart skipped a beat, but his face didn't change as he asked: "What good thing?"
"Stop pretending!" You know what you're doing. " Shang Yiqing didn't expect him to deny it and waved her fist. She already said that if she saw him again, she wouldn't let him go. She just didn't expect to meet him in her new room.
Fang Zinan ignored him and leaned against the headboard. In the candlelight, people only felt that he was sickly and thin, with faint traces of sadness between his eyebrows.
"Hey, why aren't you saying anything?" Shang Yiqing could not help but jump up in anger.
Fang Zinan's eyes swept over her face, but he still asked in a low voice: "What is there to say?"
"I never thought that I would run into you here. I already said that if I saw you here, I would definitely not let you go!" Shang Yiqing was getting angrier and angrier as she spoke. Her right hand was clenched into a ball! She would never forget what had happened that day even if she was beaten to death. As long as she thought about it, she would be infuriated!
"The princess must have recognized the wrong person." Fang Zinan spoke blandly, "This king has always been weak and has almost never left the manor. Why would you see me?"
"Don't deny it! This young miss's skill in recognizing people is first-rate. Even if you turn into ashes, I will recognize you! " Wow, this guy still doesn't acknowledge her debt. She's really a bastard! Shang Yiqing could not suppress the rage in her heart. She suddenly jumped in front of him.
Fang Zinan just frowned and sat there without saying anything. He thought to himself: Why is it that the Emperor has decreed that she should be the one to be married to Princess Rong? Although he snatched Zi Yanran from her hands and left that day, he secretly gave the two criminals a 'cartilage powder'. Logically speaking, she should be fine. However, looking at her attitude, she wouldn't let the matter go!
"Don't think that you can be shameless just because you don't speak. You may not speak, but I will write down every single word that you say, write it down in the doctor's order, and then prescribe the correct medicine! " When Shang Yiqing saw that he still did not speak, she became anxious. She definitely wouldn't let him off so easily!
