There was a long queue to welcome the bride, from one end of the street to the other. I am afraid that the only person in the capital who could have such a large queue to welcome the bride was Lin Ziyi.
And this scene just shows how much the old lady and Qu Rongjie value and love Xia Jin.
This made those young ladies who had previously thought that Xia Jin's status was too low to marry into the general's mansion, all slapped in the face.
This pomp can only be matched by a princess getting married!
On the second floor of the teahouse, Qu Linglong's eyes turned red, and her face became ugly with envy and jealousy.
"Dad, you said there is a way to prevent them from getting married. What is it? Is it useful?"
Qu Linglong pulled Prime Minister Qu's sleeve and acted coquettishly.
When Qu Cheng saw Qu Linglong's anxious look, he thought that Xia Jin's identity would be revealed soon, so he stopped hiding from Qu Linglong and said:
"Remember the princess your eldest brother deceived and sold?"
"I know, eldest brother also made a lot of money using the information about that idiot princess!" Qu Linglong said.
Prime Minister Qu chuckled and said, "Xia Jin is Princess Qingxin!"
Qu Linglong's face became extremely weird, and then she laughed loudly. "She is Princess Qingxin? That stupid princess!"
"Hahaha, it would be interesting if Brother Ziyi knew about it!"
"Dad, why didn't you tell me about this earlier!"
Qu Linglong seemed to have seen the disgusted expression on Lin Ziyi's face when Xia Jin's identity was revealed!
"If I had told you earlier, how could you have given me a 'big surprise' today if you had gone to tell Lin Ziyi?" Prime Minister Qu sneered.
Qu Linglong looked at the wedding team passing downstairs, "Dad, if I succeed this time, I can successfully marry Brother Ziyi! When I become the mistress of the General's Palace, everything in the Prime Minister's Palace will be mine."
Yes, it’s also daddy’s!”
"Linglong is so sensible!" Prime Minister Qu patted Qu Linglong on the shoulder.
"I won't let my daughter suffer!"
Qu Linglong raised her chin proudly, "I knew that dad loved me the most!"
"Let's go to the General's Mansion and prepare a 'big gift'!"
Prime Minister Qu and Qu Linglong walked downstairs together.
At this moment, the wedding team circled the streets of the capital and stopped at the gate of the General's Mansion.
The sedan curtain opened, and a big hand with sharp bones stretched out. Xia Jin had a hijab on her head and a very long skirt. Without anyone to support her, she could easily fall.
Xia Jin didn't hesitate to put her hand on the man's palm. The hand was wide and warm, wrapping her entire hand in it.
The two of them walked into the gate of the General's Mansion hand in hand, stepped over the brazier, walked along the red carpet, and arrived at the hall.
The old lady was sitting on the main seat, her face was rosy and she couldn't stop smiling.
The master of ceremonies looked at the time on one side, and when he saw that the auspicious time had arrived, he shouted:
"The auspicious time has come, the newlyweds are here to pay their respects!"
Xipo handed one end of a piece of red silk tied with satin flowers to Xia Jin, and Lin Ziyi held the other end, and the two stood side by side.
"Worship heaven and earth!"
They both bowed and knelt down at the same time.
"Two thanks to Gaotang!"
The two of them turned around and kowtowed to the old lady.
"Couple greetings!"
Xipo helped Xia Jin face Lin Ziyi. Xia Jin clutched the red silk tightly, her heart pounding.
Such a formal marriage made Xia Jin nervous for a while.
Seeing that Xia Jin didn't move, the master of ceremonies shouted again: "Husband and wife bow to each other!"
Xipo tugged on Xia Jin's sleeves, and Xia Jin took a deep breath, then bowed and kowtowed.
"Wait a minute!" Suddenly, an interrupting voice came from outside.
Everyone looked outside and saw Prime Minister Qu walking in with her daughter Qu Linglong.
Seeing them coming, there was a lot of discussion around them.
"Prime Minister Qu once shamelessly proposed marriage, but was rejected by General Lin. Now that he brings Miss Qu here, he probably has no good intentions!"
"There's nothing we can do about it, after all, they are getting married by their son! No matter how many reasons they have, they can't deal with it! According to the laws of the Yan Kingdom, a pregnant girl cannot be abandoned, she must marry her home!"
"Pfft, there's something good to watch today!"
"Keep your voice down, you can't afford to offend either of these two!"
"Isn't I very quiet? Pfft!"
There were whispers and whispers all around, all talking about how Prime Minister Qu shamelessly proposed to marry his daughter to Lin Ziyi some time ago but was rejected.
Prime Minister Qu looked a little confused. The marriage was originally a good intention, but now it has become a joke both inside and outside.
However, he was the Prime Minister after all, and his emotions and anger were intangible, and he did not show them. Instead, he smiled on his face.
"Congratulations to General Lin, congratulations to General Lin!"
"Prime Minister Qu, you are coming, so I can inform you in advance to prepare seats. You see, you have suddenly arrived, but I have neglected to entertain you!" Lin Ziyi said lightly.
"The Prime Minister just came here to congratulate me and give me a big gift. When the gift is delivered, the Prime Minister will have to leave, and there is no need to arrange the seats!" Prime Minister Qu touched his beard.
"There is no shortage of anything in my general's house. Prime Minister Qu, there is no need to be polite. Just come and you will be fine. No need for gifts!" Lin Ziyi said.
"How can that be done? The gift must be delivered!" Prime Minister Qu chuckled, looking kind.
"Come here, bring the gift!"
The attendant beside him came over holding a tray. The tray was covered with red cloth, so it was not clear what was inside.
"What is this?" the old lady asked.
"Old lady, this is a good thing!" Prime Minister Qu opened the red cloth and found a scroll inside.
Prime Minister Qu pointed to the scroll and said: "This is a picture of beauty painted by a famous painter. What is painted in the picture is the portrait of the most beautiful princess in the former Chixi Kingdom!"
After saying that, he picked up the scroll, pulled off the red rope and flicked it gently. The scroll unfolded, revealing a beautiful portrait of a woman.
This woman is holding a lantern in her hand, with a gentle smile on her face. She has thin eyebrows with willow leaves, slightly raised peach blossom eyes, a small nose, full red lips, and a small and delicate chin. She is so beautiful that she could be said to be a fairy from heaven.
Not an exaggeration!
"What a nice view!"
There was a burst of exclamation from all around, and some people even stared at it and wanted to buy it at a high price!
Seeing that everyone around him was attracted by the portrait, Prime Minister Qu looked proud. He turned to look at the old lady and then at Lin Ziyi, saying:
"Does this painting of the general and the old lady look familiar?"
The old lady squinted her eyes, "It looks familiar."
"Old lady, you look familiar because this beloved princess is right under your nose!"
Qu Linglong stepped forward and lifted the hijab on Xia Jin's head!
A world-famous face appears in front of everyone!
"Doesn't she look like the portrait? There is no doubt that Xia Jin is Princess Qingxin!" Qu Linglong said.
But I saw that everyone was stunned!
"So... so beautiful!"
Seeing that everyone was not on the topic, Qu Linglong quickly reminded: "Xia Jin is Princess Qingxin. She lied to everyone. She is a princess who has subjugated her country!"
"According to the law, the subjugated princess will be sent away. General Lin, do you mind if I handle it impartially?" Prime Minister Qu said coldly.
Prime Minister Qu originally thought that Lin Ziyi would show his anger after being deceived, but instead he saw that he took the hijab away and covered Xia Jin gently.
"My general and her have already paid homage to each other. She is now my general's wife and no one can take her away!"
