Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

Chapter 229: Welcoming the Bride

On that day, Ye Shuo got up early without waiting for Xiao Luzi to remind him.

No, that’s not right. It should be said that he didn’t sleep all night.

He was actually going to get married. For some reason, Ye Shuo suddenly felt something was unreal, as if he was dreaming.

Along with this came a little nervousness and uneasiness.

Ye Shuo thought that he was a man who had experienced many ups and downs, and he should be extremely calm even when getting married. But when this day really came, he found that it was not the case at all.

In his excitement, Ye Shuo almost wore the wrong clothes. If Xiao Luzi hadn’t reminded him in time, Ye Shuo would have made a fool of himself.

“…Forget it, let you guys do it.” In the end, Ye Shuo gave up on putting on his clothes, which was an extremely simple task in daily life.

When Ye Shuo put on the red wedding gown, everyone’s eyes lit up. His Royal Highness Prince Rui was already tall and straight, and now in red, he was truly unique and stunning.

Especially those Ruifeng eyes, which were even brighter and more dazzling today than before, as if they were filled with the stars in the sky. In addition, His Royal Highness Prince Rui was also extremely handsome, so anyone who was stared at by those eyes would be moved.

Ignoring the stunned people in the room, Ye Shuo noticed the movement behind him. He didn’t even turn around, but just asked, “How is it?”

Ye Xun also got up early, intending to come and congratulate him on his wedding, but as soon as he entered the door, he heard these words.

“…”

Seeing the Ninth Prince now looking like a peacock with its screen spread out, Ye Xun was silent for a moment and nodded helplessly: “It looks good.”

Only then did Ye Shuo feel satisfied.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Shuo went to the ancestral hall in the mansion again.

Ye Shuo would burn incense to the prince almost every morning when he got up, and today was no exception. In fact, it was because today was a special day that he had to go even more.

“I had thought of asking my third brother to be my witness when I got married, but I didn’t expect it to be a little late.”

Just think about it, the crown prince is helping to preside over the whole process. He is the future emperor, it would be such an honour for him to tell others about it.

It’s a pity that the prince didn’t live to see this day.

The prince’s tablet was placed there, motionless, neither sad nor happy, except for the prince’s name on it which was still as bright and clean as new, as if the prince was quietly watching everything in front of him.

Ye Shuo inserted the incense in his hand into the incense burner, and when the auspicious time was over, he walked out of the ancestral hall and climbed onto the horse.

Ye Xun is still in mourning, so he naturally cannot go out. Thinking back to what the Ninth Prince said just now, Ye Xun stayed in the ancestral hall for a long, long time…

Just as the Ninth Uncle said, he is married now, but his father will never see him again.

The other side.

As soon as Ye Shuo left the house, he saw the Sixth Prince and the Seventh Prince already waiting outside.

When getting married, one naturally has to go and pick up the bride. Because the Sixth Prince had previously written a letter proposing to reduce all expenses on Ye Shuo’s wedding to avoid extravagance and waste, Ye Shuo’s wedding was therefore much simpler than expected, and the money spent was instantly cut by more than half. Feeling guilty, the Sixth Prince naturally agreed to the task of picking up the bride.

What’s more, when he got married, it was Xiaojiu who helped to pick him up. Today, the Sixth Prince specially took time off from the six ministries to make this trip.

What’s more, he is also the witness today.

Nowadays, the Sixth Prince is extremely busy, and it seems harder than climbing to the sky to see him. Even Ye Shuo feels flattered.

“I suddenly felt that I was too honoured.”

Upon hearing this, the Sixth Prince’s mouth twitched slightly. If his expression had been more sincere when he said this, the Sixth Prince might have actually believed it.

The Sixth Prince inexplicably felt that he was making fun of him.

Even if it wasn’t a joke, today he was getting married, and even his father was the master of ceremonies, so what was he?

When the eldest prince and the crown prince got married, even his father didn’t do this. I’m afraid he was the only one who had such an honour.

“Don’t do anything weird and waste time.” The Sixth Prince couldn’t help but remind.

He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Ye Shuo always felt that the Sixth Prince had started to control him now. He didn’t know if it was because he had been in the Sixth Ministry for too long and was accustomed to giving orders.

No way, my cheap dad just loosened his control over him.

Seeing the Sixth Prince frowning, Ye Shuo quickly straightened his back.

After a series of busy work, the wedding procession finally set off on time in the evening.

The Ninth Prince was now the most beloved of the emperor, so the people below were naturally very alert when it came to matters concerning him. The Imperial Astronomical Bureau had almost read through the almanac, and had been paying close attention to the changes in the sky in recent days, fearing that if it rained or was windy, the entire Imperial Astronomical Bureau would be punished. So when the wedding day really came, under the control of many parties, today’s weather was as good as it could be, and even the sunset was much more gorgeous than usual.

Facing the fiery clouds in the sky, Ye Shuo rode on Qingfeng and slowly walked through the streets. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on his face, adding a bit of warm and good colour to him. Wherever he went, the people were all shocked.

More than 20 years ago, when the Imperial Noble Consort was travelling in a carriage, the wind accidentally blew open the curtain of the carriage. In the breeze, just half of her face had already made her famous throughout the entire Shangjing. Now, more than 20 years have passed, and in the sunset, the Ninth Prince, who has perfectly inherited the Imperial Noble Consort’s peerless beauty, is even more stunning.

As the saying goes, “Young men should only see the painting, but I alone know the essence of it. When I paint to the end of the sky and the water, I am definitely not a mortal.” This is probably the case.

It was a pity that the day they met was the day he got married. For a moment, countless women were heartbroken and regretful.

“If I had known this, I would have asked my father for help.”??

In the past, everyone only knew that the Ninth Prince was born with a good appearance, but his reputation was not very good. So the noble ladies subconsciously thought that the Ninth Prince was a useless idiot, a typical dandy.

Now it seems that even if he is a straw bag, so what? He is so handsome, it is natural that he is a little spoiled.

Unfortunately, however, it is too late now.

For a moment, the noble ladies on the second floors on both sides of the street who came to watch the ceremony sighed almost at the same time.

About half an hour later, Ye Shuo arrived at the gate of Prince Su’s Mansion.

Prince Su’s mansion is just like him, solemn and dignified, and looks particularly cold. Now it is hung with red silk and red lanterns everywhere, making it look much more festive.

Ye Shuo dismounted, tidied his clothes, and then stepped in under the attention of everyone.

It was not the first time that the young ladies and young masters in Prince Su’s Mansion had seen their cousin. They had seen him from afar before, whether at family banquets or sacrificial ceremonies, but Ye Shuo was still young at that time. Now that he has reached adulthood, the feeling when seeing him up close is naturally very different.

She performed the greetings in a proper manner with Prince Su and Princess Su. Now Prince Su was Yao Zhi’s adoptive father. Although this marriage was promised by Emperor Jingwen, the rules still had to be followed.

Prince Su started asking him several questions. According to the rules, he could not go to see the bride if he could not answer them.

But at the same time, Prince Su knew his nephew’s abilities and was afraid that he would not be able to find a wife, so he racked his brains overnight to think of a few questions that he could answer.

Getting married, Ye Shuo wouldn’t be a drag at this time.

However, before he could open his mouth, the Sixth Prince and the Seventh Prince beside him took the initiative to answer for him.

Prince Su asked about the contents of the only two articles that Ye Shuo had been able to recite over the years. However, so many years had passed, and Xiao Jiu probably had forgotten them long ago. Fearing that he would embarrass himself, the Sixth Prince and the Seventh Prince spoke subconsciously.

The Sixth Prince and the Seventh Prince were stunned when they heard each other’s voices almost at the same time. But after thinking about it, they still went ahead and continued talking.

Prince Su: “…”

This child is hopeless.

However, being able to get the Sixth Prince to speak for him, from another perspective, this was also a skill. After a moment, Prince Su finally let him go.

In the courtyard, Yao Zhi had been a little nervous since she woke up in the morning. Like Ye Shuo, both of them overestimated themselves.

But besides feeling nervous, Yao Zhi also felt a little excited.

Since the marriage was decided, Yao Zhi hasn’t seen Ye Shuo for nearly half a year. Although Ye Shuo came to see her secretly during this period, he was discovered by Prince Su in time, and then Prince Su threw him out without mercy. Since then, Ye Shuo never had a chance to come in again.

I heard that he had some unpleasantness with his father in the middle, but fortunately everything was fine in the end. Only then did Yao Zhi feel relieved.

I just don’t know how the young man is doing recently.

Just when Yao Zhi was thinking about something, she suddenly heard the voice outsi6. Yao Zhi was about to take action, but the next moment, she saw a slender hand with distinct joints reaching under her big red veil.

Seeing her in a daze, Ye Shuo couldn’t help but laugh. Without giving her a chance to refuse, Ye Shuo took her hand.

Perhaps because she was equally excited, Yao Zhi could feel that his hands were particularly hot.

“Follow me.”

As the two moved, the tassels on her veil fluttered constantly. Through the veil, Yao Zhi could not make out what was in front of her, but she could vaguely feel that he was leading her out of the courtyard, down the steps, through the garden, and all the way to the gate of the palace.

During this process, Yao Zhi could even hear the faint gasps from the people around her.

The Ninth Prince could not hide his excitement on his face. Perhaps his emotions were too exposed, which infected the people around him. Coupled with the dazzling red colour on the two of them, the two people who were originally not a good match in the eyes of others actually looked a bit more stunning.

Yao Zhi was already impatient and wanted to see what he looked like now.

The young man was already good-looking, and he would be even more stunning in a wedding gown.

When Yao Zhi sat in the sedan chair, the noise outside was immediately blocked out. When Ye Shuo let go of her hand, Yao Zhi felt as if something was stuffed in her palm.

When the door curtain fell again, Yao Zhi looked down and found that they were two pieces of crispy biscuits wrapped in oil paper. They must have been specially prepared because he was worried that she had not eaten much since morning and was afraid that she would be hungry.

The two biscuits still had the residual warmth of his body on them. Suddenly, Yao Zhi felt that all the hard work in the past six months was nothing.

After saying goodbye to Prince Su and Princess Su, and waiting for Ye Shuo to climb over the mountain and mount his horse again, she heard Xiao Luzi beside him shouting loudly: “Lift the sedan chair——”

At the same time, in the palace, Emperor Jingwen had already thrown aside the memorial in front of him. Anyway, the Sixth Prince would handle the matters above. As it was such a happy day, Emperor Jingwen was in no mood to continue reading it.

When Wang Ziquan beside him reminded him that the time was almost up, Emperor Jingwen stood up.

As he stepped onto the imperial carriage, Emperor Jingwen gradually regained consciousness on the way.

My youngest son has finally grown up now…

It was getting dark, and Emperor Jingwen arrived at Prince Rui’s Mansion before the wedding procession arrived.
