White Hedge Dream

Chapter 297 Epilogue 1

Mrs. Dongyang Hou received the news at the banquet.

At that time, the maid whispered something in her ear, and Mrs. Dongyang Hou, who was originally smiling, looked a little shocked.

"Seriously?" she asked.

Some of the already sharp-eyed ladies at the table couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"

After hearing the inquiry and seeing the burning gazes around her, the shock on Mrs. Dongyang Hou's face disappeared, and a smile appeared on her lips.

"It's Jingyun's news." She said, "He is coming back."

Hearing this name, his eyes were burning even more, and many women in the seats next to him also looked over.

"The prince has not become a monk?" Another woman blurted out.

After saying this, she was pushed and reminded by the person next to her, and the woman herself quickly covered her mouth.

Five years ago, the emperor passed the throne to the King of Chu. After the new emperor ascended the throne, Zhou Jingyun applied for a post abroad and still worked as a school supervisor. However, there was news that Zhou Jingyun resigned and did not return to Beijing. Some people said that he was wandering around. Some people even talk about becoming a monk.

Speaking of Zhou Jingyun, the prince of Dongyang Hou, he can be regarded as a figure who has gone through three dynasties. Although his official career has some twists and turns, in the end he was blessed with divine favor and his official career was smooth. Unfortunately, his marriage was bumpy and he never remarried after the death of his wife. In the blink of an eye, he has not remarried for more than ten years. Years have passed. Could it be that I simply left the mortal world and became a monk?

The woman was not the only one who thought this way. Although the others didn't say anything, their eyes were full of speculation.

"Are you going to leave this time?" A lady asked politely, "Yu Niang, you can't really let him do whatever he wants."

Another lady squeezed over.

"Madam, my sister-in-law has returned as a widow."

As soon as these words came out, everyone around them laughed and said, "Why are you so anxious? Your sister-in-law hasn't married yet." "I have a sister-in-law who hasn't gotten married yet."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou was not offended by everyone's words. She herself often made fun of her son.

"Don't worry." She said, stood up, and said with a smile, "You continue to have fun, and I will go find out for you, and I will tell you later."

After that, he smiled and left.

The people at the banquet talked about it. Since King Chu came to the throne, the affairs of the court have been stable and the world has been peaceful. There has been nothing new for a long time.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for Mrs. Dongyang Hou to do what she said and actually send them a message.

An invitation was also sent at the same time.

Zhou Jingyun is getting married.

The wedding is scheduled for the third day of May, and the Dongyang Marquis Mansion has a month to prepare.

"Everyone is here to help, please help."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou also personally invited many people to their homes, so it was bound to be a lively wedding.

During this period, Zhou Jingyun did not return early, and the bride did not come to the capital in advance to be married. The Dongyang Marquis simply married her all the way back from outside the capital.

Therefore, on the third day of May, red silk flowers were placed ten miles away from the capital gate early in the morning.

It attracted countless people to watch, and it was more lively than the Chinese New Year.

"Would it be too extravagant?"

The Marquis of Dongyang, who had only returned from a trip to the mountains and rivers before the wedding, was also shocked by the wedding battle at home.

"Our family has always been frugal."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou dressed up and interrupted him: "So, what's the matter with extravagance and waste?"

Dongyang Hou touched his nose and said, "Not really, not really, as long as you are happy."

In fact, my wife has not been very happy in recent years. Even if she asked, she would say she was fine, but occasionally she suddenly became unhappy. It was a rare occasion when she was happy.

"Then you are not dissatisfied with this marriage?" Dongyang Houxiao asked.

Zhou Jingyun got married suddenly. He wrote a letter directly saying that he had found the person he liked and was going to get married. He didn't even say in the letter who the woman was from or how old she was.

Not to mention letting Mrs. Dongyang Hou take a look first and make it clear that she wants to get married, regardless of whether her parents agree or not.

Logically speaking, Mrs. Dongyanghou should be furious, but Mrs. Dongyanghou only sneered when she looked at the letter, threw it away, and went to prepare for the wedding.

Is this satisfaction or dissatisfaction?

"Master Marquis, Madam is feeling angry." Mother Xu said with a smile, "Everyone says that our prince has become a monk. Now that the prince is getting married, Madam doesn't want to make a big deal and let everyone know about it."

In fact, let alone outsiders speculating that Zhou Jingyun had become a monk, Dongyang Hou himself thought so. Fortunately, he did not lack a son or a grandson. Dongyang Hou was already ready to adopt a nephew for Zhou Jingyun. He did not expect Zhou Jingyun to get married. .

That's true, who cares who Zhou Jingyun marries, as long as he's from a good family, as long as he's a woman, that's fine.

Dongyang Hou laughed and looked at the dusk, the sound of firecrackers outside became louder, and Zhou Jiuniang ran in carrying her skirt.

"Father, mother, the bride and groom are here -" Mrs. Dongyang Hou glared at her: "You are too old to say marriage, why are you running around with me!"

Zhou Jiuniang, who was already a playful girl, stuck out her tongue and hid behind people with the little girl.

"Master Marquis, Madam, please take a seat quickly."

Someone urged.

Mrs. Dongyang Hou and Dongyang Hou followed the instructions and sat down in the main hall. Before the newlyweds came in, Mrs. Xue stood over and arranged her hair in a low voice: "Even if you are angry in your heart, you are not allowed to do it in front of me for a while." The face of so many people is so embarrassing for the new daughter-in-law.”

Mrs. Dongyang Hou glanced at her: "Who do I dare to show my face to?"

Mrs. Xue glared at her: "Who have you given a good look in the past few years? Go and ask someone who is not afraid to see you and dare not say it in front of you."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou snorted, and when she wanted to say something, there was even more excitement outside. "The bride and groom are here—"

Mrs. Xue stood up hurriedly, and Mrs. Dongyanghou and Dongyanghou also sat up straight and looked outside, with unmistakable anticipation in their eyes—

Zhou Jingyun hasn't been home for five years and doesn't know what it's like outside.

As everyone laughed, Zhou Jingyun, wearing a bright red round-neck robe, walked in. Although he was a little thinner, he became more and more graceful.

"Fortunately, I'm wearing red." Some onlookers murmured, "If I were wearing plain clothes, I would be floating in the sky and become an immortal immediately."

I don't know what kind of person left this immortal in the world. Everyone looked around and saw the bride holding a red silk hand behind Zhou Jingyun walking in. The bride's dress was a common one. The bride's figure was slim and casual. Her dress fluttered as she walked. She did not cover her head, but held a fan in her hand to cover her face. She had a thick phoenix crown with swaying tassels, swaying beside her long and white neck.

As they walked by, people could see the tall nose bridge, bright eyes, and red lips through the gaps between the fans. The brightness was visible at a glance.

What a beauty!

He is only in his early twenties.

Following the shouts of the emcee, the newlyweds stood still in the hall, bowed to heaven and earth, and bowed to their parents. When bowing to their parents, the bride put down her round fan and raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Dongyang Hou—

When their eyes collided, Mrs. Dongyang Hou seemed stunned for a moment, and the next moment she stood up suddenly.

Mrs. Xue was startled and subconsciously wanted to pull her. Mrs. Dongyang Hou had already rushed to the bride and stretched out her hands to hug her.

"I'm back, I'm back." She suddenly burst into tears.

This turn of events stunned everyone in the hall, especially the spectators. Is this considered a show of force from the mother-in-law?

"Oh, let's see what Madam likes." Mrs. Xue hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her. Seeing the bride's face, she also shed tears for no reason, "This is what I've been waiting for."

I hope that with the arrival of a new wife, my son will no longer have to become a monk? People around speculated on the meaning.

"Mother, aunt, don't cry again until we have finished praying." Zhou Jingyun said with a smile, "The ceremony is not over yet."

Mrs. Xue didn't know what was wrong with her. She was busy wiping her tears while pulling away from Mrs. Dongyang Hou: "Yes, yes, it's not over yet, it's unlucky."

Upon hearing the unlucky words, Mrs. Dongyanghou immediately sat back and urged with tears in her eyes: "Hurry, worship quickly."

Zhou Jingyun led the bride to pay homage to her parents again. Just as the couple was about to bow to each other, shouts came from outside.

"The emperor is here—"

emperor?

Real or fake?

The whole room was shocked for a moment.

Although there was no clear street and hundreds of officials accompanying him, the cars parked outside the Dongyang Marquis Mansion were indeed the emperor's vehicles.

People who had been following from outside the city to watch the excitement on the inner and outer three floors and wait for food (the Dongyang Marquis Mansion had announced that they would set up running water banquets for three days) were already kneeling on the ground with fear, nervous and excited. Who would have thought to come and see it? At the wedding of Crown Prince Dongyang, you can still see the emperor! It is truly worth a lifetime.

Dongyang Hou and Dongyang Hou's wife rushed out and looked at the chamberlain in front of the car, feeling a little at a loss.

Although the new emperor has been on the throne for five years, because Marquis Dongyang wandered outside the court, he did not even recognize this close attendant for a while.

"I bow to your majesty." Marquis Dongyang stepped forward.

The chamberlain's face was a little stiff, the carriage curtain behind him opened, and a woman with a peaceful face said with a smile: "Dongyang Hou, there is no need to panic, it is not your Majesty who is here -"

Before she finished speaking, a girl's smiling face squeezed past her.

"I'm here."

Seeing the girl, there was commotion all around again. Some people were asking who it was, and some were explaining.

"It's Princess Yongning."

"She is the eldest princess."
