Chapter Seventeen Not Enough
The marriage of the daughter of the Rong family caused a sensation in Kyoto. Everyone in Kyoto knew that Master Rong's second daughter, who was born as a poor scholar, married the second prince of the current dynasty and became a relative of the emperor. Master Rong was very happy and everyone around him was lucky.
I drank a glass of official and royal wedding wine.
Everyone was having fun while drinking, but at noon everyone was laughing even more happily. In fact, not much good happened, except that the groom did not come, and the person who came to pick up the bride in his place was a young steward from the Ghost King's Mansion.
Although everyone does not want to add insult to injury, and the normal reaction should be anger and dissatisfaction, but who calls the married woman Ronghuatian, the Ronghuatian who bullies good people and gives away nothing?
Everyone in Kyoto knows that the Ghost King has disabled feet and cannot leave the house, but because of this very few people have seen the Ghost King Yu Wencan. So when noon was approaching, a huge procession came to welcome the bride. Everyone saw a man at the front of the queue wearing a groom's uniform.
When the man appeared, everyone was a little surprised - the current second prince has good legs and feet, and he is handsome...
The groom heroically dismounted from his horse and went to greet Mr. Rong who had gone to meet him before. He bowed and said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone: "Master Rong, I am Xia Houguo, the manager of the palace of His Highness the Second Highness. I am here to welcome the bride on behalf of His Highness the Second Highness."
Master Rong had naturally seen Yu Wencan after serving as an official for many years, so when he knew that the groom had arrived as scheduled and went out to greet him, his face sank without a trace. Xia Houguo did a good job of pretending not to see him.
He said: "Noon has arrived, please invite the princess to get on the sedan chair."
When Xia Houguo said his first words, Rong Huazheng was being helped out by Mrs. Rong and the matchmaker. Because the groom's arrival shocked the Tian family, the whole audience became very quiet, so those words of Rong Huazheng were impartial and unbiased.
Got into the ear.
The face under the hood did not change, and the corners of his lips slightly curled up. This marriage seemed quite interesting. Even the groom was a substitute, and the substitute was not a brother from the Tian family but a low-status person.
House servant...
It's interesting, it's really interesting. Who is the most reluctant in this marriage? And what is hidden behind this reluctance? She suddenly became curious.
When the bride came out, everyone applauded. They were a little surprised why the dowry behind the bride was so amazing, but why didn't she even have a maid?
Xia Houguo also saw this matter, he still bowed his waist with a calm face and waited for the bride to approach.
According to etiquette, when the bride goes out of the gate, the matchmaker and mother will deliver the bride to the groom, and the groom will lead the bride into the sedan chair.
The fact that the groom did not come to marry him indirectly gave Mrs. Rong a sigh of relief. She ignored the matchmaker's stiff look and exerted a slight force to drag Rong Hua Zheng forward and handed her hand hidden under the wide sleeve to Xia Houguo.
Xia Houguo took it with a pale but respectful expression, but the smooth material of the wedding robe left lightly as soon as it touched the palm of his hand. The texture of the wedding robe was very smooth, and the fine material created a sensation with the slightly rough palm due to the owner's force.
Rubbing. Watching the touch of red on the palm slide away, the warmth and softness remaining in the palm made Xia Houguo stunned for a moment.
The bride's sudden movement made everyone stunned, and her proud gesture of throwing away her sleeves and leaving alone to get into the sedan chair made people gasp even more.
At this moment, everyone has a question in their mind: isn't she wearing a hijab? Why does she know where the sedan chair is?
However, of all the people present, only Xia Houguo, who was left behind, knew that when the bride passed by him, she said: "If you want to take me away, neither you nor the Ghost King... are qualified!"
The voice was shallow and light, like a strand of black hair, soft and touching, but also cold.
