Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

Chapter 153: Picking up the bride

(T/L NOTE: Everyone thank the buyers of {240+} chapters, that you got to read these bonus chapters!)

The wedding ceremony is also called the evening ceremony. In ancient times, it was held in the evening, which means the gradual alternation of yin and yang.

By the afternoon, Ye Shuo had already changed into festive clothes.

In fact, Ye Shuo didn’t want to be so active, mainly because he would have to have brothers to help pick up the bride on the wedding day, right?

It is known that the eldest prince thinks he is noble, so he will definitely not go. The second prince… The second prince is not familiar with Xiao Ming, so he will probably not go either. The third prince is the crown prince, so how can the crown prince go to pick up his younger brother?

The fourth prince is close to Xiao Ming, so he is one of them. The fifth prince and the sixth prince have had a grudge since they were a few years old. It is lucky that they don’t fight when they meet. Forget about picking up the bride.

The Seventh Prince followed the Fifth Prince, and if the Fifth Prince did not go, the Seventh Prince could not go either. The Eighth Prince could try to get it, but Xiao Ming was the type of person who wanted to keep everything to himself and suffocate himself to death, so it was extremely difficult to get him to talk back.

The remaining brothers are either too young or not familiar to him at all. After counting them all, Xiao Ming can only rely on himself.

On this happy day, no matter what Xiao Ming’s purpose is, Ye Shuo will never embarrass him because of their friendship over the years.

After changing his clothes in a hurry and letting Xiao Luzi put a hair crown on him, Ye Shuo could not help but stand up and looked at his attendant and his companion with raised eyebrows: “How do you feel?”

It must be said that the Ninth Prince was born with a good appearance. With such a face, naturally, he looks good in anything he wears.

Even though Xing Yucheng didn’t want to admit it, he could only nod to Xiao Luzi now.

“By the way, how did you do in the exam?” Ye Shuo is indeed a devil, as he asked such a sharp question right from the start.

Xing Yucheng was quite relaxed at first, but now he couldn’t laugh at all.

“…On such a happy day, why did Your Highness the Ninth Prince bother to mention my pain?”

Ye Shuo couldn’t help but roll his eyes at him. Come on, he had seen many people like Xing Yucheng. What they said was not good might not necessarily mean it was really not good.

“After the results are announced, I’ll be waiting to drink at your wedding.”

While Xing Yucheng was stunned, Ye Shuo pushed open the door of the room, and was immediately seen by Concubine Rong and maids including Su Yue.

A hint of surprise flashed across the imperial concubine’s eyes.

Afterwards, the imperial concubine couldn’t help feeling a little proud, looking at her two children, each one more handsome than the other.

Su Yue and the maids couldn’t help but sigh in their hearts that the Ninth Prince has indeed grown up now. Look at his tall and straight figure, and his handsome and even beautiful eyes and eyebrows!

In the entire Qiuwu Palace, perhaps Princess Jianjian was the only one whose expression did not change at all.

She admitted that her brother was indeed good-looking, and she could still feel his good looks when they saw each other every day, but the problem was that his face was exchanged for his personality and brains!

Jianjian seriously suspected that her brother had used all his brains to exchange for this face when he was reincarnated, so he was so stupid, fragile and pretentious.

Hearing that he was going to ride a horse to pick up the bride later, Jianjian habitually warned: “Brother, be careful.”

If she wasn’t so small, Jianjian would have wanted to go with him.

The little princess Jianjian had no idea that her brother had been able to ride horses with Ye Xun long before she was born, and that so many guards were unable to catch up with him.

Holding back his smile, Ye Shuo nodded seriously: “Yes, brother will be obedient. When the brother is not at home, Jianjian will also help take care of the mother.”

“Yeah!” Jianjian nodded as a matter of course.

The imperial concubine couldn’t help but give her son a cold look.

Ye Shuo left the palace quickly, and now the large army was already waiting there. It was still nearly half an hour before the wedding procession set out.

The wedding procession started from the Imperial Palace, then went to the Prime Minister’s Residence, and took the bride to the Prince’s Residence. Only then was the whole process completed.

The Fourth Prince is now talking to the Sixth Prince.

The moment they saw Ye Shuo, they were both startled.

“So early?” The Sixth Prince subconsciously looked at the sky, then looked at Xiaojiu, and then couldn’t help but begin to wonder if the Xiaojiu in front of him was someone else pretending to be him.

Ye Shuo’s mouth twitched involuntarily: “…Is it that serious?”

Didn’t he finally arrive early once? He was still much later than them, so was he really that shocked?

But you have to know that when the eldest prince returned victoriously, he was almost late.

Arriving early is simply impossible for Xiaojiu.

Even the Sixth Prince couldn’t help but feel a little moved, completely forgetting that the Fourth Prince next to him had arrived a long time ago and was not much different from him.

Ye Shuo was completely speechless.

The Fourth Prince was much older than Ye Shuo. When Ye Shuo arrived at the Upper Study, the Fourth Prince had already left the palace to build his own residence. He had not returned and could only see Ye Shuo during the New Year and other festivals. Therefore, the Fourth Prince was relatively unfamiliar to Ye Shuo.

Later, based on Ye Shuo’s close observation, he found that the Fourth Prince was a polite gentleman, and… very fond of preaching.

In just a stick of incense, Ye Shuo heard that he had shared all his experiences when he got married, and from time to time, he would pull him out to talk about them again.

Ye Shuo still remembered that he had this problem when he saw him more than ten years ago when he was just one month old.

He used to be in charge of the Fifth Prince, but the Fifth Prince was so rebellious that he probably wouldn’t be happy to be under his control. As they grew older, Ye Shuo never saw the two of them hanging out together again.

What could Ye Shuo do when he was lectured by the uncontrollable Fourth Prince? He just listened. After all, he was still his brother in this life.

After waiting for a long time, the time came and Ye Shuo almost breathed a sigh of relief at the same time as the Sixth Prince.

Well, the Fourth Prince is good in every way, but it would be even better if he could talk less…

If he were not a prince, becoming a teacher would have been a good choice.

When the guards reminded them, the three of them jumped on their horses almost at the same time.

Although Ye Shuo is young, he is not far behind others.

In this way, a group of people took to the streets with the wedding procession.

The people of Shangjing City had already known the news that the prince of the imperial city was getting married to the daughter of the prime minister’s mansion today. Naturally, they were waiting on both sides of the road to see such a lively scene since early morning.

Emperor Jingwen did not issue an order to clear the streets, so the area from the imperial city to the prime minister’s residence was extremely lively at this moment.

Unlike the Fourth Prince, Ye Shuo did not feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he enthusiastically asked the guards for wedding candies and distributed them to the people along the street.

In those days, candy was a rare and precious thing. Ordinary people could not even eat it once a year. Candy came in small pieces, wrapped in oil paper, and looked quite real.

But there are not many candies after all, and not everyone can get one.

Many people just join in the fun and don’t think that such a good thing can really happen to them.

Among them were an old beggar squatting on the street corner, a child, a woman, and an old man. Who would have thought that while they were thinking about this, small pieces of candy suddenly fell in front of them.

Hearing a “ding-ling” sound from the broken bowl, the old beggar subconsciously reached out to cover it, but when he saw that no one was paying attention, he slowly opened his hand.

When they looked up again, only the back of the little prince was left.
