Although there was no groom to greet the bride, there were still many etiquettes required for the wedding. The wedding team carried the wedding sedan in a large circle around the city and arrived at the Yanbei Palace in the afternoon.
Different from the lively and festive atmosphere in the Ji Mansion, the Yanbei Prince's Mansion is very quiet. Although there are lights and red lanterns everywhere, there is no trace of joy.
Ji Yunkai expressed his understanding.
With the support of Xi Niang, Ji Yunkai came to the wedding room and waited for the prayers after sunset, but someone walked in not long after sitting there.
Lowering his head, Ji Yunkai could see the golden boots on the opponent's feet.
The visitor stopped in front of her and said cheerfully and cordially: "Sister-in-law, I am Xiao Shiqing, and Xiao Jiu'an, the king of Yanbei, is my brother. During the period when my brother is unconscious, I will temporarily take charge of the affairs of the house.
.”
"Princess." Ji Yunkai had never met Xiao Shiqing before, but he had heard her name and knew her deeds.
A woman who is not inferior to men, a strange woman who supported the Yanbei Palace alone when Xiao Jiuan was unconscious.
"Sister-in-law, you are too polite, just call me Shiqing." Xiao Shiqing was very cheerful, with the unique magnanimity and openness of a soldier, but also the demeanor of a noble lady.
After the ceremony, Xiao Shiqing said with an embarrassed look: "Sister-in-law, you also know about my brother's situation. Asking the young master of the Xiao family to marry you today is already causing trouble for people. Do you think you can cancel the ceremony?
?”
Without beating around the bush at all, Xiao Shiqing spoke simply and directly, and of course he was also polite.
In the past two days, Ji Yunkai had become accustomed to Mrs. Ji's insinuating way of speaking. Suddenly hearing such direct words, she was not very used to it for a moment.
However, after getting used to it, Ji Yunkai couldn't help but think more about it. Was Xiao Shiqing really informal, or was he trying to intimidate her?
You know, if there is no chapel for a wedding, how can it be complete?
Ji Yunkai just thought about it for a moment. Xiao Shiqing didn't get an answer and asked softly: "Sister-in-law, can't you?"
This was completely denying people a chance to think, which made Ji Yunkai unable to even think about it, but...
You can ask Xiao Zirong to do the marriage on your behalf, but can you also ask someone to do the marriage ceremony? If you even have the marriage ceremony done on your behalf, does it mean that you also have to arrange the wedding ceremony?
Ji Yunkai couldn't help but feel sick at the thought of having sex with a strange man. Even if the strange man was good-looking, Ji Yunkai couldn't accept it.
"Sister-in-law, if it really doesn't work, I'll ask someone to find a way." There was no trace of dissatisfaction in Xiao Shiqing's words, but full of irritability and powerlessness.
Come to think of it, she's not having a good life these days.
Ji Yunkai nodded. The princess of Yanbei Palace was indeed a heroine. Although she was direct, she was not annoying. Maybe she was overthinking.
Ji Yun said: "No need, the prince's situation is special, outsiders will not mind whether we worship." There is a marriage decree from the emperor on the left and right, and the Yanbei Palace cannot deny the marriage.
Of course, if the Yanbei Palace wanted to deny it, she would be very happy, at least she wouldn't have to be buried with him.
"That's great!" Xiao Shiqing looked relieved: "Sister-in-law, since I'm not going to visit you anymore, I'm going to send away the guests in front of me, and you can have a good rest."
Xiao Shiqing thoughtfully ordered his servants to serve Ji Yunkai well, and then left with them.
"Princess, do you want to take a bath first or eat first?" The maid from Yanbei Palace came forward, bowed her knees and saluted, her words and deeds were very polite.
"Take a shower first." There was no groom, no worship, and naturally there would be no ceremony of unveiling and drinking wine. Ji Yunkai removed the hijab herself and asked her servants to help her take off the phoenix crown.
"The princess is so beautiful!" The maid couldn't help but praise when she saw Ji Yunkai's exposed face.
When the other maids heard this, they all looked up secretly. Although they didn't dare to speak easily, their eyes were filled with surprise. But... Ji Yunkai didn't feel happy at all, she just felt a lot of pressure!
She has no pressure to fool people outside, but facing the people of Yanbei Palace, can she hide her appearance for the rest of her life?
The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. Everyone in the Yanbei Palace thought that she was a great beauty who would conquer the country, but in fact she was not!
"You are wrong, I am not beautiful at all!" There is no need to hide something that cannot be hidden. The longer it is delayed, the worse it will be for oneself. Ji Yunkai took off his mask without hesitation, revealing his right side covered with black spots.
Face.
"Ah!" the maid exclaimed, looking at Ji Yunkai in shock, as if she couldn't believe what she saw.
How come you are an angel one second and a devil the next?
"Do you see clearly? This is me!" Ji Yunkai didn't care, pointed to the right side of his face, and said with a smile.
"This slave deserves to die, please punish me, Princess." The maid who had just started to praise Ji Yunkai knelt down and apologized, but this apology was very interesting.
Damn it?
Is it because I praised her wrongly?
The maids in Yanbei Palace are interesting.
"It's your first offense, so I won't punish you this time." No matter what thoughts he had in mind, Ji Yun didn't show any of it on his face. He stood calmly and upright, letting the maid undress her, not caring about her face at all.
of dark spots.
However, she didn't care, but the maid couldn't care less. The maid seemed to be greatly frightened and untied Ji Yunkai's clothes tremblingly. Whenever she accidentally saw the dark spots on Ji Yunkai's face, she would look away in fright.
It's as if you'll catch it if you look at it more than once.
Ji Yunkai just pretended not to see it, raised his eyes and glanced at the very simple wedding room, and smiled.
You don't need to ask to know that this wedding room is definitely not the place where King Yanbei lives, it is just a small courtyard that was temporarily set up.
Ji Yunkai had long expected that the people in Yanbei Palace would not take her seriously. Facing the simple wedding room, Ji Yunkai did not feel disappointed.
Anyway, no matter how bad things get, that's all. Marriage is done, and you have to walk the next step on your own.
The bathtub was placed behind the screen, and the servant came in with water. When he saw Ji Yun's open face, he shouted in horror: "Ah, ghost, ghost!"
With a "clang" sound, the bucket in his hand fell to the ground, and water spilled all over the floor.
"Shut up!" The maids in the room turned pale and yelled, but it was no use. There were more than one, and the same was true for the maid who came in from behind. She threw the bucket and shouted: "Ghost, ghost!"
"Ghost? Where is the ghost?" In an instant, countless people swarmed in. After seeing Ji Yunkai's face, they also screamed and shouted: "Ghost, ghost!"
"Is it that scary?" Ji Yunkai touched the right side of his face and smiled innocently.
Well, if it was just a guess before, then she is now certain that everyone in the Yanbei Palace is hostile to her.
The acting skills of these maids are very good, the fear and panic are shown just right, without a trace, but... it's too much!
She's not ugly enough to look like a ghost, okay? Besides, it's broad daylight, where could a ghost come from?
"What happened? What happened?" The commotion in the wedding room attracted the attention of the people in front. But in the blink of an eye, Xiao Shiqing came with people, and behind her was today's Prince Xiao.
Xiao Zirong welcoming the bride... (To be continued)
