Chapter 159: Traveling through the Prince's Mansion 38
"What? You want me to bring Liu Baijiao to the Xiang Mansion to make trouble in the bridal chamber?" Even the calm and composed Prince Chu had never thought that his fiancée would make such an incredible request to him.
"And you want to unveil the bride's veil in front of Liu Bo's sedan chair?"
Gu Li nodded, but Chu Yansheng just wanted to shrink back, "I can't do this! I don't want to lift the veil of another bride."
This moment only happens once in a lifetime, so of course he wants to save it for his first time to lift the county lady's veil!
Gu Li gently coaxed, "I'm not asking you to lift the veil, I'm just asking you to organize a few people to make trouble in the bridal chamber, and make sure Liu Baijiao sees the bride's appearance."
Chu Yansheng: ----
"Did Xiang Yi offend you, or does the girl he wants to marry have a grudge against you?" Chu Yansheng seemed to understand something.
Gu Li didn't answer, "Just tell me whether you will help or not."
She only went to find Chu Yansheng because she didn't want to cause any trouble, and she also wanted to expose her vicious side to him.
As for the future, it would be best if we could treat each other with respect. If that is not possible, we should just keep out of each other's way and live our own lives.
"Help, of course I can help. If you want to kill someone, I won't even hand you the knife. I'll just chop for you!" Chu Yansheng said, "But can I make a small request?"
He was pushing it too far, "Speak."
"Leave the renovation of the County Princess's Mansion to me. The County Princess should move out of the Prince's Mansion as soon as possible." The renovation of the County Princess's Mansion was too slow, and he had long been dissatisfied with it.
Thinking it was something, Gu Li agreed generously, "Well, I'll move when this is over!"
Ever since she found out that Liu Bojiao had some dirty thoughts about her, she didn't want to stay in the Prince's Mansion any longer.
The county lady's mansion is almost finished now, and you can choose an independent courtyard to live in when the time comes.
----
Five days later, the young Earl of Zhongyi Xiang Yi got married.
Chu Yansheng, who had long since withdrawn from the capital's playboy circle, mingled with a bunch of playboys again and went to the residence of the Earl of Loyalty in a swaggering manner.
The Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty is just like a small grain of sand in the capital city.
The previous Earl of Loyalty, Xiang Quan, was originally just a doctoral student in the academy. By chance, he blocked a knife for the late emperor who was traveling incognito, and lost an arm, in exchange for the title of earl.
However, Xiang Quan died of his injuries after serving as Earl for only two days. In order to demonstrate his benevolence, the late emperor appointed his four-year-old son as the heir to the title.
My Lord, if there is no one in the Xiang family who can rise to prominence in this generation, the next generation will be commoners again.
"Oh, what's so interesting about this run-down family's wedding? It's better to go to Baihua Tower for a drink." A dandy said impatiently.
Wei Min: "What do you know? This mansion is indeed in decline, but the loyal and righteous man is very smart. He married the daughter of a wealthy merchant in Jiangnan. It is said that the merchant's dowry was enough to fill five ships."
Even the worldly-wise playboys were astounded by the luxurious and elaborate decoration when they stepped into the gate of the Earl's Mansion.
But they are playboys, how can they give in so easily? "Hey, only this lowly baronial family would be interested in the daughter of a merchant family. Unlucky, a room full of money!"
Wei Min swung open his folding fan, fanned himself, and said mysteriously: "It is said that this merchant girl not only has a large dowry, but is also very beautiful. She is one of the most beautiful women in Jiangnan!"
"How beautiful can she be? Can she be more beautiful than Madam Jasmine from Hongxiu Tower?"
Wei Min waved his fan, glanced at Chu Yansheng, who had an expressionless face, and said slowly, "Who knows? We'll see when we go to the bridal chamber later!"
Liu Baijiao, who was forced to come and watch the fun, was a little uninterested and was dragged into the banquet hall by Lin Shendai and another playboy.
Ever since Wei Lingyu became Liu Bojiao's concubine, Wei Min had cut off contact with Liu Bojiao. Later, Wei Lingyu was appreciated by the emperor and was specially recruited into the royal workshop. Liu Bojiao tried to cause trouble at the Wei family like a mad dog, but was stopped by the imperial guards.
Liu Baijiao is Wei Lingyu's ladder to success. The higher Wei Shumei climbs, the more regretful Wei Min will feel.
A group of playboys finally waited until the bride entered the house, and before Xiang Yi had even finished toasting, they surrounded him and pushed him into the bridal chamber.
They couldn't wait to see the difference between the beauty who grew up in a pile of gold and silver and the noble ladies in the capital who were well versed in etiquette and literature.
Faced with this group of rich and powerful young men with backgrounds, Xiang Yi had no choice but to bite the bullet and enter the bridal chamber.
The matchmaker was caught off guard by the sight of so many men suddenly entering the room and was so frightened that she became speechless. The female relatives of the bride's family who were talking to the bride also tried to slip away by sticking to the wall.
The playboys joked: "Is the groom stunned? Hurry up and lift the veil. Hurry up!"
Xiang Yi had a vague illusion that if he didn't obey them, these people might bypass him and directly lift the bride's veil.
The veil was lifted by Xi Cheng, revealing the protagonist of today.
The bride's makeup was very thick, but it was not hard to tell that she was really pretty. Her eyes were as bright as autumn water, her eyebrows were as black as distant mountains, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and the pearl hairpins in her hair were exquisite and gorgeous.
The dandies who had been rolling around in the pile of perfume and powder for years lost interest after just two more glances. Their interest had been aroused since early in the morning, but now that they saw the real person, they could only say, "It is beautiful, but not absolutely beautiful. There are many powders of this color in Baihua Tower and Hongxiu Tower."
But she was the legal wife of Lord Zhongyi after all, so they couldn't say anything irrelevant. After seeing her, they all wanted to leave.
Everyone came in a swarm and left in twos and threes, leaving the people in the Xiang Mansion confused.
Liu Baijiao was forcibly pulled out. "Your Majesty, you don't want to leave so much, do you want to stay and watch the newlyweds do it?"
Liu Baijiao glared at the person who spoke, and that person left angrily.
Liu Bojiao was still standing outside the gate of Xiang's house in a trance until everyone left. Xiang Yi's new wife looked very much like Wanchun.
Wanchun was his first woman, a maid specially trained by the old princess to teach him sex.
At that time, he had his mother to take care of him, Wanchun to accompany him, and a cute little cousin who loved him.
Those were his most worry-free years.
Maybe God took pity on him. His mother was away from the capital all year round, and his cousin was also going to be away from him. So now he wanted to send late spring back to him.
But why is she Xiang Yi's wife?
This is a bit difficult to handle.
Liu Baijiao turned sideways to take another look at the bustling Xiang Mansion, then left in a hurry.
At the corner, Wei Min looked at Liu Baijiao's receding figure, then slowly walked out of the shadows with his hands behind his back.
Although he didn't know what Chu Yansheng wanted to do, his intuition told him that if he did as the prince ordered, Liu Baijiao would suffer, so of course he had no choice but to do it.
Nine days later, a piece of news spread among the playboy circles in Beijing.
Mrs. Chen Wan'er, the newly married wife of the Earl of Zhongyi, was intercepted by gangsters on her way to the temple to burn incense. In the chaos, the horses were frightened and ran away. Finally, Mrs. Chen Wan'er and the carriage fell off a cliff, and her body was never found.
On the same day, in the Prince's Mansion, an injured and unconscious woman quietly appeared in the courtyard of Liu Baijiao in the West Garden.
