Shangguan Hongye took Ming Lanruo's hand, pulled her and planned to move forward.
But the next moment, a slender, pale hand grasped his shoulder like a ghost, and he was immediately unable to move.
A low and cold voice sneered in his ear: "Tsk, Your Highness is no longer a young boy. Why don't you understand any rules?"
Shangguan Hongye knew that Cang Qiao's martial arts skills were unpredictable, but when faced with such a crushing gap again, he felt bad.
He is obviously a strong man on the battlefield, so why can he be grabbed by Cang Qiao so casually!
If this wasn't a wedding venue, he really couldn't help but have a fight with this castrate! Even if he lost, he still had to let the other party know that he was not someone to be bullied!
He gritted his teeth and looked sideways at Cang Qiao: "What on earth are you going to do!"
Cang Qiao snorted coldly: "There are no rules, let Ruoruo go!"
As he said this, he glanced at the trembling Xi Pos nearby: "Bring the red silk yet!"
One of the Xi Pos suddenly woke up from a dream and quickly took the red silk bouquet she was holding and carefully handed it to Ming Lanruo and Shangguan Hongye.
Only then did they remember that, because there was no process of sending the bride out of the palace to the groom's official home, the groom had to lead the bride to the front yard with a red silk bouquet.
Shangguan Hongye glanced at Ming Lanruo as she took the red silk, and then looked at the little hand he held in his hand. Her hands were different from those of Zhou Changle and other concubines in the house. They were slender but flexible, like holding hands.
A bunch of slender, soft willow branches.
He was inexplicably distracted, and couldn't help but think about what it would feel like to have those little hands holding his waist.
"Your Highness, it's time to take the red silk!" Cang Qiao's cold voice interrupted his distracted thoughts and forced a piece of red silk into his hand.
He reluctantly let go of Ming Lanruo's little hand and took the red silk.
But when Shangguan Hongye looked at Ming Lanruo on the other end of the red silk, he felt a little proud or satisfied for no reason - Ming Lanruo had finally fallen into his hands.
From now on, he will have a lot of time to hold her hand whenever he wants.
He was in a good mood and led Ming Lanruo to the front yard amidst everyone's congratulations.
Ming Lanruo held the bouquet, raised her eyes and glanced at Cang Qiao worriedly, and then followed Shangguan Hongye.
Cang Qiao watched Ming Lanruo being led by Shangguan Hongye with red silk to the front yard. Unbearable pain flashed through his eyes, but soon there was a bottomless coldness and darkness in his eyes.
"Master, why don't we go back? Master Xiao Xi is still waiting for you in the East Factory." He and the father-in-law stepped forward and asked in a low voice. He knew better than anyone how much pain his master was feeling.
Cang Qiao lowered her long eyelashes, casting an unpredictable shadow on his fair face: "What's the hurry!"
With that said, he also walked to the front yard.
There was a lot of excitement in the front yard, but the ceremonial officer sent by the Ministry of Rites to be responsible for singing auspicious times was a little worried and embarrassed. When it came time to worship in the hall, it was easy to say the heaven and earth worship and the husband and wife's greetings, but this time of worship in the high hall...
The bride was exterminated by the Ming family. The Duke of Ming is still in the northeast, and his wife, Qin, has issued a ban, and no one from the Ming family is allowed to come.
As for King Qin’s father, His Majesty the Emperor, he will not come. The seat in the high hall is vacant, and I don’t know who to worship.
Everyone who came to the wedding banquet was a little embarrassed when they looked at the empty seats in the hall, but they just pretended not to know. The scale of this wedding was far worse than the wedding of King Qin to his concubine.
Ming Lanruo didn't care, she wished she wouldn't hold the wedding at all, but she had to do it, so she could only pretend to consider Emperor Ming and reduce the scale to the minimum.
She could see that Cang Qiao's mood was not right just now.
Entering the main hall, everyone put on a lively posture, the sound of joy began, and the singer of the Ministry of Etiquette began to sing: "Bridegroom, bride enters! Bow to heaven and earth!"
Ming Lanruo followed Shangguan Hongye and bowed down expressionlessly.
"Two obeisances...!" As soon as the singer of the Ministry of Etiquette began to sing, he saw a scarlet and elegant figure lazily sitting down in the high hall.
Everyone was stunned and looked at the dignified figure sitting at the top.
"Master Chitose, what are you doing?" the singing officer of the Ministry of Rites asked cautiously and flatteringly.
Cang Qiao said calmly: "I was just happy to see my niece getting married, but I forgot to mention that I am here for Your Majesty."
