The third prince Yunli arrived as scheduled and did not escape from the marriage. As usual, he rode a white horse and led a wedding procession to the Su Mansion to marry Su Jin.
The waist is slightly stepped, the bright wrists are covered with light gauze, and the eyes are full of spring water, which is really a bit pink and delicate.
But even though she was so beautiful, as she walked from the Su Mansion to the wedding sedan, the third prince's eyes and eyes never fell on her. His face was gloomy the whole time, and his whole body was stiff like a puppet on strings as he pulled up the reins and returned to the orange garden.
.
And Su's father saw all this.
After sending Su Jin away, Su Jin's biological mother cried in the mansion. After all, she watched her daughter jump into the fire bed but was helpless. She also knew that her daughter married the puppet third prince for the sake of the entire Su family and was indebted to her.
Compared to Su's mother who was upset, Su's father was unusually calm, but with a heart of stone beneath his frosty skin, when he saw the meaningless expression on the third prince's face when he was marrying his bride, he sighed with distress, no matter how ruthless he was,
Tiger poison does not eat seeds either.
The second uncle of the Guan family entered Su's house on the pretext of giving gifts and chatted with Su's father. When Guan Changqing was mentioned, he raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at the crowded courtyard, and motioned to Su's father to lend him a step to speak.
The two came to the bamboo pavilion in the backyard, which was surrounded by dense bamboos. When the wind blew, the bamboo leaves rustled, making it impossible to hear the conversation, so as to hide their ears and eyes.
"Master Su, Guan Changqing has taken the bait, and the official kiln has also sent it out without anyone noticing..." The second uncle of the Guan family, after alerting the surroundings with a stern look, approached Su's father and whispered, "Guan Changqing's suffering is still behind, who will let him go?"
Is his pretentiousness embarrassing Mr. Su?"
Su's father smoothed his beard and nodded with satisfaction: "Things have been done well. Soon, Guan Changqing will be fired from his post and dealt with severely, and you will also benefit from it."
"Then I have to thank Mr. Su," the second uncle of the Guan family saw that Su's father was in a happy mood and continued, "Sir, today Guan Changqing and Li Ting have gone to the orange garden to congratulate the third prince. I heard that it is because the queen will go, and we want to
don't want……"
Su's father frowned, looked at the second uncle of the Guan family, and scolded: "Why are you so anxious? The third prince was not born to her. Although she has been raising the third prince for so many years, even the Holy Emperor did not care about this marriage.
, she first sang a drama about a loving mother and a filial son--"
"That woman is very scheming, we have to be careful, otherwise you won't even be left with bones..."
"Understood." The flatterer of the second uncle of the Guan family quickly agreed, "Your Excellency is wise!"
Su's father was immune to the flattery of the second uncle of the Guan family. After all, he had flattered him a lot because of his bastard son and wanted to get into the Su family. So, he said with stern eyes: "My Jin'er is getting married today, Guan Ling, how can you do that?"
You have to keep an eye on me."
The second uncle of the Guan family raised his eyebrows slightly and said cautiously: "Don't worry, sir. I have grounded him since he almost caused trouble last time."
After hearing this, Su's father asked again: "That young lady of your family disappeared?"
"Yes, I was just about to report this matter to you. Tiansha Lone Star had previously slandered my son for no reason, and was later imprisoned in the dungeon by Guan Changqing, saying that it was because he was pregnant with the child of Master Leng, a legendary murderer in the world..."
From the first time Su's father met Shen Yue to when he came to confirm her identity, although he looked like an old friend, he was actually very different. However, the old fox could not take it lightly, so he kept asking the second uncle of the Guan family to report Shen Yue's whereabouts.
Prepare for him.
Hearing this, Su's father frowned and walked around the pavilion, thinking a lot.
Su's father stopped, looked back at the second uncle of the Guan family and asked: "Since he was locked up in the dungeon, how could he disappear?"
"It must be a couple eloping..."
——
Su Jin sat on the wedding sedan, fidgeting nervously along the way. Although she had fantasized about wearing wedding clothes many times, she had never met the groom before, and she didn't know whether he was handsome or ugly, let alone what his temperament was.
, or is he as cold-blooded and ruthless as the rumors say?
Perhaps out of curiosity, Su Jin quietly opened the curtain of the wedding sedan to catch a glimpse of her future husband, but all she could vaguely see was the slim and tall back.
Afraid of being discovered and gossiping, she had no choice but to give up and slowly close the door curtain.
But with just one glance, the impact of the vision made her eyes filled with mist, and she thought of Guan Heng again, feeling inexplicably sad.
I got married today, and the groom was not him.
——
Normally, even the magpies would not stay for a moment longer in the orange garden, but today it was full of guests, the gongs and drums were loud, and the officials who were hiding three feet away from the third prince like the god of plague also came uninvited. This abnormal behavior was
It was because the Queen attended the wedding in person.
The guests first bowed to each other and exchanged greetings, and then dispersed to take their seats. After taking their seats, everyone's eyes were attracted to the bare beams, and their eyes were full of surprise and ridicule.
Afterwards, several people sitting in the corner whispered to each other again and whispered: "The third prince did not even wear red silk and the word "happy" in his wedding ceremony? Oh, it is unprecedented and unprecedented. This young lady from the Su family married here.
I’m afraid it’s also a joke.”
Official A nodded when he heard the words and whispered without any hesitation: "I heard that the third prince went to the Holy Lord's palace two days ago to ask for an audience, presumably to break off the engagement. You said, a prince of his status has nothing to do with the Su Mansion.
There is no harm in getting married, but he still wants to disobey the Holy One and offend Mr. Su?"
Official B agreed with a firm tone: "I've heard about it too, but I didn't expect that he would dare to compete like this on today's wedding. The daughter of the Su family will definitely not have a good life if she marries him."
Official C went on to say: "We all know the reason why the third prince can marry a daughter of the Su family. The Su family has lost both his wife and his army. We just sit back and watch the fight. If we don't go into battle to kill the enemy, we will suffer losses."
Their morale, why not?"
"Yes, let's just sit back and watch the tiger fight!"
After a heated discussion, several people raised their glasses in celebration. Guan Heng and Li Xiao, who were sitting at the table next to them, also listened to the good show.
Li Xiao tilted his body and approached Guan Heng: "These old foxes are really extraordinary. No wonder your father is timid and afraid of getting into trouble in the officialdom. Anyone who behaves like our old man will definitely be in danger of dying."
Guan Heng has always been uninterested in the intrigues in official circles. After all, his mission does not include dealing with those old foxes. He listened to some of them, but his eyes kept looking around, as if he was looking for something.
"Hey, I'm talking to you." When Li Xiao saw that he was ignoring him, he followed his gaze and looked around. He immediately understood the reason, patted his thigh and said, "What are you looking for?"
"Aren't you taking advantage of your young lady's disappearance to set your sights on the daughter of another family?" Upon seeing this, Li Xiao smiled meaningfully, "How come this iron tree that has not bloomed for ten thousand years cannot be harvested once it blooms?
Already?"
"..."
If Guan Heng is not angry for a day, he will feel uncomfortable, right?
Guan Heng turned to look at him with stern eyes, glaring at him with an expression that said, "You just want the world to be in chaos": "Stop meddling in other people's affairs. If you want to be free, go home and play with you and your sister."
Go."
"An arrogant and unreasonable girl?" Li Xiao felt a headache when he mentioned Yun Shu, and rubbed his numb forehead, "You have the nerve to mention it? She is the trouble you forced on me! Originally, I thought it was a little bit...
Interesting, but unexpectedly, she not only smashed my beloved tea cup, but also destroyed the garden, and the most disgusting thing was that she put countless caterpillars on my bed..."
Having said this, Li Xiao felt uncomfortable all over and trembled.
Withdrawing his gaze, Guan Heng looked around again, and did not forget to remind him kindly: "This is not the first day you have seen her arrogance. Over time, you have gotten used to it. Besides, you are a big man and you are still afraid of caterpillars?"
"What kind of caterpillar am I afraid of? I, Mr. Li, will never tolerate such an overbearing woman!" He said stubbornly, holding his neck.
It seemed that he was maintaining his final dignity as the son of the Li family. After all, it was quite embarrassing to be afraid of caterpillars.
From Guan Heng's point of view, he may be slapped in the face very quickly in the future.
Guan Heng stood up and left his seat: "As you wish."
