Back to the marriage proposal, helping the incompetent husband to rise to the top

Chapter 95 Getting Married
Seeing the carriage of the Princess's residence, the butler immediately came forward to greet them warmly: "Greetings, Princess. The wind is a little chilly this morning. Please come in."

Ye Wanqing went all the way to Liao Fuyu's yard.

The bride's yard is decorated in red, and it looks even more dazzling and festive when lit by red lanterns.

The usually quiet yard was crowded with people early in the morning. Young children were running around the yard grabbing wedding candies, and the women of the Liao family were talking in the house.

I could hear voices while still outside the door.

Liao Fuyu sat in front of the dressing table beside the bed, too sleepy to open her eyes, and let a kind-looking woman put makeup on her.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "The princess is here."

The room immediately became quiet.

Liao Fuyu opened her eyes with a look of delight. Just as she was about to call for help, she remembered that she had not wiped off the lip balm on her lips, and the sticky liquid flowed all over her mouth.

Ye Wanqing stepped into the room.

The people in the house were all relatives of the Liao family. They seldom interacted with each other on weekdays, but now that a younger generation in their family was able to marry into the prince's mansion, they all came to get close to Liao Fuyu under the pretext of sending her off.

Unexpectedly, Liao Fuyu didn't buy it at all.

She didn't sleep much last night as a bunch of people were directing her to do this and that, such as taking a bath, washing her hair, and hanging her hair.

I finally fell asleep, but was woken up by the nanny before five o'clock in the morning.

No matter who came, she would sit in front of the dressing table and take a nap.

As the mistress, Ji did not dare to accuse Liao Fuyu in front of the nanny sent by Princess Duan, so she had to deal with a group of people who were currying favor with the powerful on her own.

When seeing Ye Wanqing, all attention was drawn to her.

Ji took the lead in greeting: "Greetings, Princess."

Ye Wanqing smiled faintly: "No need to be polite."

Ji Mingxiang is still in prison at the Beijing Guards. Ji persuaded Liao Xunqi to go and get him out once, but he failed. Therefore, Ji holds a grudge against the people in the Princess's Mansion.

However, she was always good at flattering people, and smiled at Ye Wanqing and said, "My daughter Fu Yu grew up in the northern border since she was young, and she only has one friend in Jindu, the princess. The princess is here to marry her, and as her mother, I am also happy for her."

As he said this, he wiped his eyes with a handkerchief and said, "My poor Fu Yu, she lost her mother when she was born. I raised her to this age with great difficulty, and in the blink of an eye, she got married..."

Beside them, the women in the family hurriedly spoke in unison to comfort them.

If Ye Wanqing didn't know the inside story, she would probably be moved by Ji.

But she happened to be an insider.

Her smile faded a little: "Today is Fu Yu's big day, Madam should be happy for her."

Ji raised his eyes to look at her.

Ye Wanqing looked away and walked towards Liao Fuyu who was standing in front of the dressing table: "Why are your eyes a little red? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"Yeah!" Liao Fuyu nodded vigorously, her tone inexplicably aggrieved: "Originally, I wanted to take a nap while putting on makeup."

As soon as he finished speaking, two young children came running over.

"Bang!"

The silver plate containing wedding candy beside the table was knocked to the ground, and the candy fell all over the floor.

Liao Fuyu secretly clenched her hands into fists in her hanging sleeves.

Ye Wanqing silently put his hand on her shoulder: "Since you didn't sleep well, close your eyes and take a nap. I'll be here with you."

The young child was taken away and the women in the house fell silent.

Ji called the people over and said, "Pick up these wedding candies, take them out and distribute them to the servants, and bring up a clean plate."

The servant quickly bent down to pick up the candy.

Ji put on a fake smile and said, "Since Princess Linchuan is here to accompany Fu Yu, I will go and greet other guests. If Princess Linchuan needs anything, she can always send someone to find me."

Ye Wanqing nodded: "Madam, please go and get busy."

Ji took his men away.

Only a few women were left in the room to help Liao Fuyu with her makeup. Liao Fuyu asked someone to bring Ye Wanqing a book to read, and then she closed her eyes and rested. After a while, she began to snore softly.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, outside the palace, gongs and drums were beating and firecrackers were blasting.

Liao Fuyu opened her eyes.

In the bronze mirror, she has delicate makeup, eyebrows like willows, eyes like spring water, and is as beautiful as the pomegranate flowers in the northern border in March.

She was excited and nervous, her eyes sparkling with tears, and her hoarse voice trembled: "Qing'er, today, I am finally going to marry my sweetheart. I am so happy, so happy..."

Although it was a happy day, Ye Wanqing felt inexplicably depressed.

She stared at Liao Fuyu: "Fuyu, I wish you and Chu Xiaoyan a happy and harmonious life together, and may you grow old together and have many children and grandchildren."

"Is it really possible for him and I to be together?" Liao Fuyu's eyes sparkled.

The corners of Ye Wanqing's lips trembled slightly: "Of course."

At one quarter past the hour of Si, the sound of firecrackers rang out outside the courtyard, mixed with the laughter and shouting of teenagers and children, and the sound of festive gongs and drums.

Then, a large group of people poured into the yard.

In the corridor outside the house, the women of the Liao family all leaned out to look.

The yard was crowded with heads, and the young men who came to welcome the bride were laughing and making noises all the time, almost blocking the door. It was more lively than ever before.

The nanny sent by Princess Duan to look after Liao Fuyu reminded her, "Princess, the auspicious time is approaching. It's time to go out."

Liao Fuyu nodded.

Before the veil fell, tears appeared in her eyes and she looked at Ye Wanqing with red eyes.

Ye Wanqing smiled at her gently and patted her hands silently.

In the yard, Chu Xiaoyan, dressed in a red wedding dress, looked calm as he was surrounded by the young men he was on good terms with.

Although he was a dandy normally, he looked rather elegant and cold. Today, he changed into a gorgeous red brocade robe, which finally made him look more festive.

Under the guidance of the ceremonial officer, he and Liao Fuyu went out holding the same red silk.

Ye Wanqing and the women of the Liao family stood at the door, watching the two newlyweds being surrounded by the crowd as they walked out the door.

Before leaving, Chu Anlan winked at her, smiled and embraced Chu Shengxi and Ye Chenxi, and followed the wedding procession.

Today, in order not to steal the limelight from the groom, Chu Anlan took off his red clothes and put on a dark blue brocade robe with dark embroidery, which added a touch of steadiness.

Even among a bunch of handsome young men, he is still very eye-catching.

Ye Wanqing looked at his back and suddenly smiled.

In the corridor of the courtyard, many relatives and friends of the Liao family looked at the two of them.

Someone whispered——

"Among the young men who came to welcome the bride, the one who looked the best and had the most beautiful smile was Prince Dun's son Chu Anlan, right?"

"Yes, it's him. He is a perfect match for the princess."

"They are just a good match in appearance. I heard that the prince can't even write his own name. Can you believe that a man like him actually participated in this year's imperial examination?"

"Pfft... he must be ranked last in the exam, right?"

"Tsk tsk! A playboy should have the awareness of a playboy, eating, drinking, having fun and being a fool all his life. As a member of the royal family, why do you have to take up other candidates' places?"

"..."

Ye Wanqing was listening quietly when she suddenly heard someone calling Chu Anlan a fool. She turned her head and looked over coldly.

Qianxi gently scolded, "How dare you! It is disrespectful to talk about the royal family behind their backs! The marriage between my lady and the son of Prince Dun is a match made in heaven! The emperor, the queen mother, and the prince have all agreed to this marriage, how can you question it? Who do you think you are?"

The person who spoke had a sullen look on his face.

Ying Xiang also frowned. "In the imperial examinations of the Western Wei Dynasty, those with merit and talent were not restricted by quotas. The prince of Dun participated in the examination because he saved the people of Yinxu Town and made merit. He was recommended to participate because of his merits, and did not occupy the quota of others. The prince participated in the imperial examination because the emperor asked him to go. If you have any questions, you can ask Marquis Jingbei to ask the emperor for you."
