Marriage of the Di Daughter
Chapter 164 Wedding Banquet
It took less than a month from Emperor Hong Xiao bestowing a marriage to Princess Yongning until Princess Yongning got married.
A month ago, Princess Yongning was still dreaming of an everlasting dream with Shen Yurong. One month later, she would be pregnant with Shen Yurong's child and marry another person. For the sake of the child, even if she was 10,000 unwilling, she still had to ask Concubine Liu to persuade the emperor to give her a marriage earlier, and if she waited any longer, her stomach would not be able to hide it.
On the day Princess Yongning got married, the entire Yanjing City was empty of thousands of people.
Everyone went to see how grand the marriage of the most honorable princess of Beiyan was. The people who greeted the relatives were all guards of honor, and even the wedding money that accompanied them was all silver coins. The common people happily went to pick up the money, saying auspicious words in their mouths. The young girl's family watched the guard of honor go away with envy in their eyes. Who wouldn't want to get married in such a beautiful way? What's more, Princess Yongning married such an outstanding man. But she is a princess of golden branches and jade leaves, so I can only blame myself for not joining such a good family.
Early in the morning, Jiang Li heard Tong Er, who loves to inquire about the excitement, come to tell her about the lively scenes on the street. Jiang Li listened absent-mindedly. Today, Jiang's family is also going to have this glass of wedding wine with Li's family. Although they don't communicate with each other, they have to do it in order to save face. Jiang Li didn't want to go at first, but she wanted to see Xue Huaiyuan at Ye's house. It's been almost a month, and Xue Huaiyuan hasn't woken up yet. Although Situ Jiuyue kept saying nothing happened, Jiang Li was always worried.
If I want to have this glass of wedding wine at Li's house, I can't see Xue Huaiyuan naturally. Bai Xue said: "Which outfit is the girl wearing today?"
Jiang Li casually pointed to a piece of clothing: "This one."
Among the young ladies of the Jiang family, apart from Jiang Youyao who is not in the house, she and Jiang Yuyan are the only ones who have not left the cabinet. Ever since Jiang Li vaguely mentioned in front of Jiang Yuanbai that Sanfang might have colluded with the right minister, Jiang Yuanbai hated seeing Sanfang very much. Naturally, Jiang Yuyan would not be brought there this time, so apart from Jiang Jingrui and Jiang Jingyou, she was the only young lady of the Jiang family.
Mrs. Jiang was too old to go, and the whole family of Erfang went.
Both Tong'er and Baixue were a little happy, they had never seen the princess get married, and they always found it fresh, and the wedding event was also lively. But Jiang Li was not very happy anymore. She didn't need to go to see this happy event, and she knew that neither the bride nor the groom wanted it. But since she had to go to Li's house no matter what, it was worth seeing Princess Yongning's unhappiness with her own eyes.
Moreover, Shen Yurong must be there on such an occasion.
Thinking of this, a hint of sarcasm flashed in Jiang Li's eyes. Shen Yurong wanted to be a son-in-law, and she even didn't hesitate to watch Princess Yongning kill her heirs. up.
Seeing him unhappy makes her happy.
Jiang Li smiled slightly, put on her outer clothes, and said, "Let's go."
When they got outside, the people from the second room and Jiang Yuanbai had already arrived, and Jiang Li was the only one waiting. Jiang Jingrui didn't like to join in the fun, and looked very impatient. Jiang Jingyou is okay, Lu Shi looked at Jiang Li, his eyes lit up, "A Li, the material of the clothes you are wearing is really good-looking."
Jiang Li smiled: "This is from Uncle Xiangyang. I still have a few horses left here. When I come back in the evening, I will send a few horses to my second aunt. Second aunt can use them to make skirts."
Upon hearing this, Lu's smile became brighter, "How embarrassing..."
"We're all a family. Besides, Second Aunt's clothes look good. When someone asks, she knows that the materials are from the Ye family, and she will take care of the Ye family's business. Killing two birds with one stone, isn't it? Auntie, please don't be polite to me." Jiang Li said.
Lu Shi smiled from ear to ear, and said to Jiang Yuanxing: "Look at this little mouth, you can really talk." The more she looks at Jiang Li now, the more she likes it. Since Jiang Li returned to Jiang's house, she helped her defeat Ji Shuran, Take back the power of the family. Moreover, she never argues with her, and her mouth is sweet. Lu Shi is not a person who initiates disputes, and she can't find fault with a person as knowledgeable as Jiang Li.
Looking at Jiang Li who was joking with Lu Shi, Jiang Yuanping couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Unexpectedly, this second Miss Jiang, who was difficult even to return home at first, and everyone said she killed her mother and brother, and kept her at a respectful distance, has now become the one who gets along best with everyone. What a change in the world, it's unexpected.
Thinking of today's happy event, Jiang Li may have contributed a little or two to it. If Jiang Li hadn't told him and named Mr. Li, he would not have told Hong Xiaodi, and Hong Xiaodi would not have done so. Give marriage quickly.
I don't know how Princess Yongning knew about her life's event, but was decided by a young lady of the Jiang family. How does it feel?
Jiang Yuanbai said: "Let's go."
...
It was the first time for Jiang Li to come to the Li Mansion in the two lifetimes.
The gate of Li's mansion had already been plastered with all kinds of happy characters, and the ground was full of fragments of firecrackers, and it was full of joyful red. The servants all had smiles on their faces, and the atmosphere was warm and joyful. I don't know, probably really thought that the Li family was extremely satisfied with this marriage.
Jiang Yuanbai saw Li Zhongnan and said "Congratulations" to Li Zhongnan with a smile.
Li Zhongnan also cupped his hands, saying "Happy together, happy together". Just looking at this scene, I probably thought it was two old friends who had a deep friendship, but I didn't expect that these two people had already reached the point where they were at the same level in the court.
Jiang Jingrui looked around the hall, and whispered to Jiang Jingyou, "There are so many people here today."
There are many people who have good friends with the right minister in the court, or in other words, there are many people who have taken refuge in the right minister's faction. Besides, if Li Zhongnan posted a post to someone, it is not from Li Zhongnan's faction, and it is hard to say it on the surface. As a result, almost all the important characters in the Beiyan court were invited in the entire Li Mansion. At a glance, you can see many acquaintances.
Jiang Li also saw Li Lian.
Li Lian was also dressed quite upright today. As the younger brother of the Li family's second and eldest son's wedding, he naturally had to spare no effort to help. By the way, let the guests who come and go take a look, the eldest son's marriage is settled, but the second son is not yet married, if there is a suitable young lady, they can also see each other.
Jiang Li looked at Li Lian, and saw that Li Lian was smiling and proud, and he seemed to be doing well recently. She thought of what Ji Heng said before, and knew that Jiang Youyao was actually in the Li residence. Although I don't know which courtyard Li Lian is hiding in, Li Lian must have greeted Jiang Youyao in advance today: Li Xian is very happy today, and the Jiang family will also come. Take her away, the Li family will do nothing.
With Jiang Youyao's mind, if she had believed Li Lian's words a long time ago, she would naturally hide it well and not run out to be discovered. Of course, Jiang Li didn't have the time to find Jiang Youyao. If she really finds Jiang Youyao, when someone asks how she knows Jiang Youyao is here, what will Jiang Li say. Maybe the Li family will suspect that there is a traitor in the house and pull out Ji Heng's eyeliner.
After all, between Ji Heng and Jiang Youyao, Jiang Li would rather choose Ji Heng, at least she can't avenge her kindness. She already felt guilty for not being able to repay Ji Heng, and Jiang Li herself would feel very guilty if she caused trouble for the other party.
She glanced at Li Lian, stopped suddenly, and then stopped moving.
Not far away, stood Shen Yurong. He also received an invitation to come here today, and he wanted to come too. King Cheng would come, and Shen Yurong would naturally come too. If Shen Yurong didn't come, he would be angry. He could hold Princess Yongning's emotions in his palm, and he could express his displeasure with this marriage, but he couldn't do these things in front of King Cheng. First, he didn't take Cheng Wang seriously, and second, this was not what Cheng Wang wanted to see.
What King Cheng hopes to see is that his right and left arms are happy and support each other. Even if Li Xian wins someone's wife, Shen Yurong must be tolerant. Now that Yongning's incident has become a mistake, don't use the mistakes of the past to make the future pay the price.
Shen Yurong is such a person who knows how to weigh the pros and cons, so he may look hurt in front of Princess Yongning, but in front of King Cheng, he will only show his generosity and compromise. What's more, Jiang Li didn't think that Shen Yurong would have much sincerity towards Princess Yongning.
He is really not a sincere person, he still loves himself the most in this world.
Just as he was thinking, Shen Yurong suddenly turned his head and met Jiang Li's gaze. When he saw Jiang Li, he was slightly taken aback.
Jiang Li didn't hide the indifference in her eyes.
Shen Yurong hesitated for a moment, then walked towards Jiang Li. He has seen Jiangli several times, and every time he sees Jiangli, he has an indescribable feeling. I remember that during the court meeting, Jiang Li also looked at him with this kind of gaze. It was a familiar and strange gaze. Although it was well concealed, Shen Yurong still saw the ridicule in it.
She laughs at herself? Why? Shen Yurong was a little confused, he didn't understand why this strange girl always looked at him like this, as if they were very familiar with each other. As for Jiangli, he couldn't help but pay attention to it, even though it shouldn't be, they couldn't even say anything.
"Second Miss Jiang." Shen Yurong walked up to Jiang Li and said.
Jiang Li nodded slightly: "Master Shen."
"Did Miss Jiang Er know me in the past?" Shen Yurong had a smile on her lips, "Or, what relationship did we have in the past?"
His question was really straightforward. Jiang Li couldn't help being surprised that Shen Yurong in the past wouldn't speak so decisively. He always takes care of the emotions of others, even if he doubts, he is also gentle. But for an unfamiliar young lady, such a question would inevitably be abrupt, and he actually asked it out.
"How is it possible?" Jiang Li raised her face and said with a smile, "It's been less than a year since I returned to Yanjing City."
This is true. In the past few years, Jiang Li has been living on Mount Qingcheng. Shen Yurong said: "I just think that Miss Jiang Er seems to have some prejudice against this subordinate."
Jiang Li was about to speak, when a smiling voice suddenly came from behind: "What prejudice?"
Ji Heng didn't know when to come.
Jiang Li was surprised, this was Li Xian's marriage, and Jiang Li never expected to see Ji Heng here. When Shen Yurong saw Ji Heng, she hurriedly saluted, and Ji Heng waved her hand, as if she had seen her before.
He didn't wear red clothes today, probably because it was Li Xian's marriage, wearing red clothes would break the rules and bring inconvenience to the Li family. Of course, Jiang Li thought that Ji Heng was not the kind of person who would take the initiative to think about others. He just didn't want to wear red clothes with Li Xian, and he just felt uncomfortable.
So he wore a black robe embroidered with silver peonies. The peonies were gorgeous, but the black was deep, like the streamer of light blooming in the night, which did not affect his stunning appearance at all. A pair of amber eyes became more and more attractive, without the red color, which made his seductive eyes full of chills. Every gesture is a little more expensive.
"Miss Jiang Er." He raised his eyebrows and said, this look of being very familiar with Jiang Li made Shen Yurong on the side not know how to intervene, and he could no longer intervene.
Before Jiang Li had time to talk to him, he heard the sound of gongs and drums outside, and the couple had arrived.
Xi Po was outside setting rules for Princess Yongning and Li Xian, and King Cheng also arrived. As Princess Yongning's eldest brother and the master of the Li family, he was naturally an indispensable figure. Jiang Li didn't go out to watch the fun, she just stood there quietly. Ji Heng and Shen Yurong didn't move either, and stood beside her, one left and one right. This picture, in the eyes of others, would definitely feel weird.
Ji Heng asked, "Why don't you go and see?"
"Look at what?" Jiang Li wondered.
"Welcome to the guard of honor and watch the fun."
"It's nothing to see," Jiang Li said: "The left and right are the same thing, it's nothing more than simpler and more cumbersome, and it's just for others to see."
Ji Heng smiled: "It's like you know it well."
Shen Yurong also looked at Jiang Li. An ordinary girl of this age always likes to watch this kind of excitement, but she doesn't like to watch the excitement and has a quieter temperament, and there is always a little curiosity in her expression. Because I will think of what I will look like when I get married in the future, and my expectations and longings will be displayed on my face. And this Second Miss Jiang was very calm, and she didn't have the slightest desire to see it.
Jiang Li really didn't want to see it, she had experienced it herself. Although the marriage at that time was not so grand, because Shen Yurong hadn't been an official at that time, hadn't won the first prize, and his family was poor. What could be produced at that time was already the best that the Shen family could make. Even at that time, Xue Fangfei still felt sorry for him, telling him that this was just a formality, for others to see, as long as she could get by. The important thing is to live in the future.
Xue Zhao still blamed Xue Fangfei in private, saying that she was too considerate of Shen Yurong and didn't know how to think about herself. But what Xue Fangfei thought at that time was that since they were going to live together for the rest of their lives, the bustle of these few hours, or this day, was only temporary, and the prosperity in the future was the most important thing.
It's just that she didn't expect that Shen Yurong didn't plan to be with her forever, so her sensibility and consideration about marriage became a wishful joke of hers.
"The Duke seems to be yearning for it?" Jiang Li said. Ji Heng looked at the door with a smile on his face. Jiang Li couldn't see his eyes clearly, but felt that he was standing here, but he was really inferior to the bridegroom in Chinese clothes.
"No." Ji Heng wrote lightly.
Jiang Li smiled: "But if the Duke of the country marries a wife, the scene will definitely be ten thousand times more lively than it is now. If the Duke of the country marries a wife, I will be curious, I will feel fresh, I will want to see it quickly, and I will want to have a walk in the future." I can see clearly the desire ahead." If it was Ji Heng who married his wife, Jiang Li couldn't imagine that Ji Heng's appearance as the bridegroom official would probably be the most beautiful groom official in Yanjing City, or Beiyan. I don't know how beautiful the bride must be so that she won't be compared to her husband.
"You're complimenting me." Ji Heng shook his fan and said with a smile, "I never thought about such a thing."
Standing beside the two of them, Shen Yurong suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart as she listened to their conversation. It was as if there was a tacit understanding between Jiang Li and Ji Heng that no one else could achieve, which made him feel uncomfortable and awkward standing here.
He turned away silently.
Although Jiang Li was talking to Ji Heng, she never left Shen Yurong from the corner of her eye. Seeing Shen Yurong leaving, he turned his head, looked at Shen Yurong's back, and said softly: "Master Shen is very disappointed."
"Lost?" Ji Heng smiled, "Not necessarily."
"At least he showed a little loss, which can make Princess Yongning feel more guilty, and make King Cheng feel relieved that he has such a 'knowledge of the general'. This loss is also good." Jiang Li also laughed.
While speaking, Li Xian and Princess Yongning had already entered the door. After the three worships, Princess Yongning was sent to the new house, while Li Xian was outside, welcoming the guests together with the members of the Li family. Jiang Li also sat at the banquet, and she was really not interested in following the crowd to the new house to watch the bride and groom drink a cup of wine.
After all, it seems to be in harmony with the outside world, and the heart is elsewhere.
In the new house, Princess Yongning covered her head. There were booing sounds all around, and the groom had to lift her hijab and drink a cup of wine with her before leaving under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
Listening to those booing voices outside, Princess Yongning's heart was full of anger. Originally, he had already thought about thousands of times, how he would feel on the day when he got married in the future. It must be joyful, shy, and full of anticipation, but I didn't expect that one day, there will only be endless disgust, impatience, and shame.
She has someone else in her heart, and she is not married to someone she likes.
There was a long silver pole stretched out in front of her. Princess Yongning lowered her head and saw Slender pick up the hijab. With a "wow", there was a burst of laughter outside, which was extremely ear-piercing in her ears. She saw the man standing in front of her, wearing the groom's clothes, looking at her with a smile on his face.
Princess Yongning suddenly felt nauseated and almost covered her mouth to retch, but luckily she held on tightly to the mattress under her body. No, she can't show anything wrong, she wants to protect the child in her belly.
Li Xian smiled and called her: "Madam".
Princess Yongning looked at her. Although Li Xian was good, compared to Shen Yurong, in her eyes, he was far, far worse. Seeing Li Xian, she didn't feel any turmoil in her heart. She just felt that it would be a great shame for her that this man who was full of slavery would become her husband next time.
Therefore, she didn't even bother to pretend, and replied "Husband" coldly.
This is already the greatest sacrifice that Princess Yongning can make.
Everyone in the wedding room looked at each other in dismay. The bride was wearing delicate makeup, but her attitude was so indifferent. She seemed to be superior and unreasonable. People around couldn't help but sympathized with Li Xian. Well done, why did you marry the princess? The princess is arrogant and ignorant of the world, and she will learn from it in the future.
Li Xian was also taken aback for a moment, but soon his face was as usual. He was poured the wedding wine, picked up a glass and handed it to Princess Yongning, and raised another glass himself, and had a drink with Princess Yongning.
Princess Yongning struggled a few times, and finally raised her wine glass helplessly, but anyone with a discerning eye could see her displeasure. Li Xian raised his glass with a smile, his arms intertwined, and the two breathed and heard each other's breath. It was clear that they were very close, but they were far apart from each other.
Princess Yongning did not see the flash of violence in Li Xian's eyes.
After drinking this cup of wine, Li Xian went to the front hall to greet the guests. Only Yongning and her maid Mei Xiang were left in the room, Yongning heaved a sigh of relief, supported his waist and said, "I'm exhausted."
After she became pregnant, her waist became heavy and she felt sleepy from time to time. After getting married today, I just feel that I am exhausted and dizzy. Said to Mei Xiang: "Give me the medicine quickly."
Mei Xiang quickly took out a small bottle from her sleeve, poured out a pill, and poured another cup of hot water for Princess Yongning. These are all anti-fetal medicines, just married to Li's family, so it is not allowed to blatantly decoct them, Yongning had someone make them into pills in advance for easy consumption.
She was extremely cautious about the child in her womb. I'm afraid that this child will make a mistake, firstly, she really loves this child of her and Shen Yurong, and secondly, if there is a mistake, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it. The Li family learned of this and did not know what the consequences would be. Although relying on King Cheng and Concubine Liu, they dare not touch themselves, but Yongning is also afraid of stumbling in the dark.
In the Li family, she was left alone after all.
"Is the wine ready?" Princess Yongning asked.
"Ready, Your Highness."
In the evening, when Li Xian returns to his room, Yong Ning will have another glass of wedding wine with him. After drinking this glass of wine, Li Xian will not be unconscious. On the second day, he would think that he and himself had consummated the room and everything was over.
"It's really cheap for him." Princess Yongning snorted softly.
...
Li Xian walked outside.
The servant who accompanied him asked: "Master, there is a servant girl beside the princess."
"I'll find a way to get rid of it later." Li Xian said impatiently.
He doesn't like Princess Yongning, in fact, he doesn't like any woman. Princess Yongning didn't seem to be happy about this marriage, and who knew he wasn't happy either. It's just that his father told him that this marriage must be completed, which is an imperial decree that cannot be disobeyed. Besides, it is also a good thing to be able to get married with Prince Cheng.
Li Xian didn't think it was a good thing, he would never touch Princess Yongning. Even if the imperial decree had married Princess Yongning to Li Lian, things would not be so difficult now. He can't touch Princess Yongning, how can Princess Yongning not notice, after a long time, problems will naturally arise. If Princess Yongning told King Cheng about this, King Cheng would be dissatisfied with him for neglecting Princess Yongning.
So he can only think of other ways.
For example... let other men perform their husband and wife affairs. As long as Princess Yongning is not allowed to conceive a child, it is okay to deceive Princess Yongning forever. Princess Yongning can still stand in the position of Grandma Li, so that others will not be suspicious. If one day Princess Yongning can't bear it herself and proposes a divorce, it's none of the Li family's business. It was all caused by Princess Yongning herself.
Li Xian's brows widened, so women are troublesome, especially this kind of women who can't refuse. In comparison, he still likes those little things in his yard, he is much more docile than Princess Yongning, and he absolutely surrenders to him.
...
In the outer hall, after a little wedding banquet, Jiang Li got up and walked out. There was a lot of drinking and drinking at the banquet, she really wasn't suitable for such a scene, besides, Jiang Yuanbai couldn't take care of her in everything. Mrs. Lu talked happily with the familiar female relatives, but she didn't bother her, and walked to the outside yard silently.
But he saw that Jiheng was already there, and he didn't know how long he had been standing there.
"Why did the Duke come out?" Jiang Li asked.
"The food didn't suit my taste."
Jiang Li was taken aback, and suddenly thought of the so-called meals made by Ji Heng in the Duke's Mansion. In all fairness, these meals today are indeed inferior to Ji Heng's craftsmanship. Thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing.
Ji Heng raised his eyebrows: "What are you laughing at?"
Jiang Li withdrew her smile: "I didn't smile, the Duke was wrong."
Ji Heng narrowed his eyes in a leisurely manner: "I found that you are getting bolder and bolder."
"It's the Duke who is becoming more and more approachable." Jiang Li smiled.
Reaching out without hitting the smiling face, no one can remain indifferent to such a gentle smiling face. Ji Heng looked away and said with a smile, "It's you who are getting more and more difficult."
"It's not bad for me." Jiang Li said with a smile: "For the Li family and Princess Yongning, the marriage bestowed by the emperor is really difficult and irresistible."
"You're going to lose your head if you gloat like this." Ji Heng said indifferently.
"Maybe it's because I always stay with the Duke of the State, and I also started to like watching theatre. I'm going to invite the Duke of the State to watch this play. I hope that the Duke of the State will accompany me to the end."
Ji Heng smiled: "Finally?"
"Li Xian can't give birth to a son, and he doesn't want a son, but Princess Yongning brought her son. It can be said that there are many conflicts, but I don't know. In the end, in this dispute, it is Li Jiasheng or Princess Yongning who won. I Guess……"
"What do you think?"
"I guess it's a mutual loss."
"Isn't that your purpose?" Ji Heng smiled, and suddenly looked at her with meaningful eyes, "This is what you said, the most important thing."
Jiang Li was taken aback.
The young man leaned over to look at him, his gaze was really gentle, but what he said was a cold reminder.
The time is coming, and the time he "lend" to her is not indefinite.
When she finishes this matter, she will sacrifice her life.
"Yes." Jiang Li paused for a while, then smiled slowly. When she laughed, it was not as cheerful as before, but it was still as peaceful as ever, as if the ending had been expected.
"Grandpa can fulfill the agreement, I never lie, I will do what I say," she said.
