Chapter 1652: Successful City Exit
Gong were killed by others.No matter how genuine Fu'er's tears might be at this moment, they were all dismissed as water on her brain from a few days ago. Who could blame her And who would even care!...After having those outsiders escorted to the next room, Xiao Qin hurried to An Xue Tang's side, her face brimming with excitement. "Your Highness, why are you here"
An Xuetang's eyes were smiling, "How Not welcome me"
"How could that be I... Your arrival, I'm truly overjoyed, I couldn't have imagined you'd come. You aren't..." As she spoke, her eyes welled up with tears.
Although the mother sent an invitation to the Princess of Beijiang, she knew she was still in confinement and so didn't believe she would actually come.
Seeing her red-rimmed eyes, An Xue Tang quickly spoke to comfort her, "There's nothing to cry about, why are you crying This makeup is very beautiful, today you are the most beautiful lady in the capital city. Alright alright, don't ruin your makeup with tears."
Today's Xiaoqin is indeed beautiful. At this moment, she is wearing a magnificent gown, the edges of her sleeves embroidered with peony and pomegranate patterns, and a ruby clasp adorned with gold clasps at her chest.
Her makeup was light, unlike the heavy makeup of other brides. A gentle smile graced her face, and her skin was fair and smooth, like porcelain. Her bright eyes seemed to hold all the stories in the world, and her slightly rosy lips hinted at a touch of blush, making it impossible not to feel tenderness towards her.
Looking Xiaoqin up and down for a moment, An Xuetang couldn't help but exclaim, "She's really beautiful. No wonder that Ye Er has been thinking about you for so many years."
"!" Her teasing remark immediately made Xiaoqin's face flush red, and she wanted to bury her head in her collar.
Everyone was delighted to see her shy demeanor.
Looking at her like this, she doesn't seem unwilling to marry Ye Er.
At this time, An Xue Tang pulled Xiao Qin to sit beside her, her face becoming slightly solemn. "Qin'er, actually I might do something today that would disappoint you."
Xiao Qin was taken aback and looked up at her, "What do you mean, Your Highness"
"I'm leaving the city today, but there are too many eyes on me. I need to shake them off. To get out of the city safely today, I need to create a distraction. That's why I'm here - there are a lot of people gathered. In the crowd, it will be easier to lose those following me. But all of this might cause some trouble for your big day."
Xiao Qin didn't care that her own big day might be ruined, but she was deeply concerned about the fact that the Princess of Beijiang had just given birth and her body hadn't fully recovered. She wondered what urgent matter could possibly make her leave the city despite this.
She wanted to ask the reason, but she also knew that her courtyard was now full of people watching, and if there was truly something important, asking like this would put the Princess in a difficult position.
After a moment of silence, she looked earnestly at An Xue Tang and nodded, lowering her voice. "Whatever the Princess wants to do, just say it. As long as I can help you, Princess, I won't marry today."
"No, no, no, it doesn't have to be this way. We still need to get married."
An Xuetang smiled and patted her on the back, "We'll just make a little commotion when you get married, but don't worry, Yun Si has arranged people outside Houfu to wait. No matter how much commotion there is, we won't involve you. You can marry into Ye Mansion with peace of mind."
Xiao Qin knew that the people of Beijang Royal Mansion would never fight unprepared, so when the Princess said that Yun Si and others had already made arrangements, it meant they were ready. She felt a little more at ease.
"Your Majesty, please tell me what you need me to do."
An Xue Tang blinked. "Are your two older brothers trustworthy"
"Yes, my two elder brothers are upright men. Before they were transferred out of the capital, they actually had a good relationship with the King of Beijang. Although they didn't take sides in court affairs, they would never do anything to harm the interests of the King of Beijang's王府."
Hearing her so firmly assure him, An Xue Tang chuckled, "Today's matter still requires the cooperation of your two elder brothers. Can you get them here"
"Of course, Your Highness, please wait a moment. My second brother is actually in the courtyard."
Today, the Anle Houfu was bustling with activity, especially after Ye Er's wedding procession arrived. The atmosphere inside and outside the mansion was filled with joyous cheers.
Entering the Hou residence, Ye Er only then discovered that the Princess of Beijang was actually here. He was slightly surprised until he met Ning'er's gaze at that moment. Then he knew today wasn't as simple as it seemed.
However, the princess did not give him any advance notice of what was to happen. This indicated that she did not want him interfering today, no matter what transpired.
So, he went through the motions of his wedding ceremony.
Before a woman gets married, her mother usually gives her some good advice. But these days after returning to the Hou Mansion, Madam Hou hasn't had a proper chat with Xiao Qin.
Xiaoqin was completely heartbroken after learning about her mother's actions. She didn't even try to make amends, and their relationship remained strained.
So before her marriage, Lady Hou absolutely refused to go to Xiaoqin's courtyard.
Seeing Xiao Qin's distress, An Xue Tang simply walked to her side at this time, suddenly opened her arms and gently hugged her, softly saying, "It's okay, just let it go."
Xiaoqin smiled wryly and nodded, "Yeah, I know. Right now, besides letting go, she really doesn't have any other options."
Her red cap was ultimately put on her by An Xuetang herself.
Knowing that An Xuetang was determined to leave the capital, Xiao Qin suddenly clasped her hand tightly and leaned close, pressing her voice down as much as possible. "Your Highness, be careful of everything."
"Alright, let's get together again when I return to Beijing." Xiao Qin was carried out of the mansion by her own older brother. The commoners outside the Hou Mansion were currently engrossed in the performances of the traveling entertainers.
At this time, someone shouted, “Here they come, the bride and groom are here.”
As soon as these words were spoken, even the performers stopped their acts. Everyone rushed to the front of Hou Mansion, eager to see the new bride and groom for themselves.
However, the bride kept her face covered by a red veil throughout the ceremony. As she was carried onto the palanquin, no one could get a glimpse of her features.
But this did not stop the crowd of onlookers from swarming and blocking off the Marquis's mansion.
An Xuetang and Feng Ming also stood opposite the Hou Mansion gate, watching the excitement like bystanders. They cheered along with the common people, especially when Ye Er bowed to them in thanks, they suddenly burst into cheers, applause, and shouts of praise.
Looking at the groom's appearance, the people cheered loudly, their voices thunderous and passionate. They couldn't stop praising Ye Er's elegance and charm.
Just then, the crowd automatically parted to make way, and a group of people dressed as ordinary citizens drew their swords one after another, making a path for themselves through the throng.
Before the astonished gaze of everyone, accompanied by exclamations of surprise, they charged straight towards Ye Er, swinging their swords. It seemed they were coming for Ye Er.
The sudden turn of events caused chaos at the scene. The people panicked, screaming and pushing each other as they desperately tried to find their way out.to inquire about the news, but what happened between them Why did she personally invite a doctor from the mansion to treat Ye Er Logically speaking, she and Ye Er should never have any dealings, so wh...
