Chapter 412 Sister and Brother-in-law Support
The King of Chu said this seriously.
No one present questioned the truth of his words, and they all agreed, "That makes sense!"
"Yeah, why do we follow Liyang's rules? Are Western Barbarian's rules not rules?"
Shao Pei stammered and was speechless.
The atmosphere froze.
At this time, Princess Rong walked out of the yard.
"King Chu is right, but we live in Liyang now, don't we?"
Qin Shuangchi looked calm and said quietly, "But the one getting married today is Qin Huaizhao."
"He lives in Kyoto, not in Liyang."
"Or is it that today is the day for Princess Rong's wedding?"
Princess Rong was choked and speechless.
I could only bite the bullet and say, "The King of Chu is right, so forget it."
She really didn't expect that this girl from the Ling family had the support of the King of Chu.
Are those guards lining the streets here to attend a wedding?
Princess Rong turned around reluctantly and prepared to make way.
But at this moment, Jiang Ningwan spoke in a loud voice: "Although Princess Rong only brought the gift list at midnight yesterday, we have prepared the gifts you requested."
After she finished speaking, she waved her hand.
The maids came forward holding things and stood in two neat rows.
At Jiang Ningwan's glance, Li Qiu unfolded the post and shouted, "Eight pieces of cloud goose brocade!"
The maid then opened the brocade box and showed eight pieces of cloud goose brocade.
"Forge eight pieces of ice silk!"
"Two pairs of blood jade and coral, two boxes of dragon and phoenix cakes, two boxes of lychee paste, two pots of phoenix marrow..."
When everything is displayed in front of everyone.
Only those who watch know how demanding the gifts required by this custom are.
Because they have never heard of these things.
When Princess Rong saw those things, she took a step back in shock, and Shao Pei quickly supported her.
Everyone was stunned.
Even Qin Huaizhao was shocked. He knew very well that these things were used to make things difficult for the Ling family.
Qin Shuangchi chuckled: "This Phoenix Marrow, I was fortunate enough to drink it from my royal brother. I thought it was only available in the palace, but I didn't expect..."
"When the people of Liyang get married, they use royal offerings. I don't know when Liyang became so prosperous. I must visit Liyang when I have time."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone realized how precious these things were.
"It's Liyang's custom to give these gifts when getting married. The threshold for marriage in Liyang is really high."
"Maybe it's just that the threshold to enter Prince Rong's Mansion is high."
The crowd was talking about how Princess Rong had made things difficult for the bride on the wedding day, and her mean demeanor had left a lasting impression on everyone.
Princess Rong's face turned pale.
Now that you are prepared, why do this?
Playing with her?
Jiang Ningwan stepped forward slowly. "These things are not easy to prepare. I hope Princess Rong can see Jinlan's sincerity."
These words were spoken to Princess Rong and also done for the world to see.
If they really have a conflict in the future, everyone will know that it is Princess Rong who is wrong, not Jin Lan.
Princess Rong glanced at Jiang Ningwan and then at King Chu. This couple was deliberately teasing her.
No matter how angry she was, she could only force a smile at this moment.
"Of course I see Jinlan's sincerity."
"The auspicious time has arrived, it's time to worship in the hall."
Qin Huaizhao held Ling Jinlan's hand tightly and entered the gate of Prince Rong's Mansion with her.
The suona began to play joyfully, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively and festive again.
The ceremony was held amidst laughter.
Princess Rong's face was frozen even when she smiled, for she was afraid that if her expression didn't improve at all, her reputation as a wicked mother-in-law would spread tomorrow.
It doesn't matter to her personally, but she cannot bring shame to the prince and the Rong Palace.
Jiang Ningwan observed Princess Rong's expression and worried about Ling Jinlan's future life. She was also afraid that Jinlan would experience the same thing as she had.
But on second thought, I felt relieved.
If Qin Huai couldn't take care of her, she could still support Ling Jinlan.
It's fine to divorce your husband.
It doesn't matter even if Jinlan takes a wrong step.
"What are you thinking about?" Qin Shuangchi noticed that she was distracted and asked in a low voice.
Jiang Ningwan came to her senses and said thoughtfully, "I was thinking about the marriage customs of the Western Barbarians. Is it really true that the husband's family must kneel three times and kowtow nine times before the bride can be married?"
If that was the case, she was actually looking forward to this place.
Qin Shuangchi laughed softly and said, "I just made it up."
Jiang Ningwan was shocked. "You made it up? And it's so logical?"
Qin Shuangchi moved closer and lowered his voice: "It's good enough that you can deceive people. This so-called Liyang custom is also made up by Princess Rong."
"There's no such custom. It's just an excuse to embarrass you."
Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan smiled helplessly.
"You are really something."
……
Duke Jiang's Mansion.
The eldest prince's carriage had been parked for a long time, and Jiang Xiru still hadn't come out, so Qin Chengqian went to the Duke's Mansion to find her in person.
Jiang Xiru, who was hiding in the room, turned pale and kept coughing.
"Ling'er, has the eldest prince left?"
Ling'er shook her head, "The eldest prince is still waiting."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Chengqian appeared at the door. He looked unhappy and asked, "Why? Even if I come here in person to invite you, I still can't persuade you?"
Jiang Xiru panicked and started coughing.
"Cough cough cough..."
"Your Highness, I've caught a cold and can't go out. Besides, Prince Rong's mansion is hosting a wedding, and it wouldn't be nice if I were to offend them with my illness."
"Your Highness and Sister Fan are going to a wedding banquet together."
She was now a concubine, so there was no need to take her to the wedding banquet. But for some reason, Qin Chengqian came to the Duke's Mansion without any warning and wanted to pick her up to attend the wedding banquet.
I can only pretend to be sick temporarily and hope I can get through it.
Qin Chengqian was adamant, "No, after I married my first wife, there were many rumors that I was treating you harshly."
"Today is a good opportunity to prove that I haven't treated you harshly."
"You have to participate. We'll just sit and go. We won't let you last too long."
"Either you dress up or I'll just carry you away."
Qin Chengqian walked straight forward and wanted to pick Jiang Xiru up.
Jiang Xiru was panicked, fearing that Qin Chengqian would touch her belly and find that her belly had grown bigger.
"I'll do it myself, Your Highness."
It seems that this wedding banquet must be attended.
When she got up to change her clothes, Qin Chengqian stayed in the room the whole time, insisting on staying with her and waiting for her.
Jiang Xiru could only change her clothes quickly, dress up simply, and then set off for Prince Rong's Mansion with Qin Chengqian.
After getting in the carriage, Fan Ruoshuang took her hand affectionately and asked, "How are you feeling? Have you seen the imperial physician? Is your condition serious?"
Jiang Xiru shook her head. "It's nothing serious. Thank you, Sister Fan, for your concern."
Fan Ruoshuang's eyes were a little distressed. "Look at you, you've lost weight since you got sick. Let's finish eating quickly and send you back to rest early."
She also didn't understand why His Highness insisted on dragging a sick person out to attend the wedding banquet.
Hearing this, Jiang Xiru felt a little relieved.
It seems that Qin Chengqian just wants her to go to the wedding banquet for show.
You can come back after eating.
Qin Chengqian glanced at Jiang Xiru and asked, "Has she lost weight? Why do I feel like she's gained weight?"
"It seems like my stature has grown wider."
Jiang Xiru clenched her palms nervously. In order to hide her belly, she changed into a loose dress.
Soon, they arrived at Prince Rong's Mansion.
The three of them took their seats and the banquet began soon.
Fan Ruoshuang thoughtfully picked up a piece of meat for Jiang Xiru and said, "Eat more to replenish your body."
In Jiang Xiru's eyes, the piece of meat with fat inside looked so fat that it was greasy, and then the smell of fat rushed into her nose.
"啕——"
