Chapter One: The Prince's Wedding
Chapter 1: The Prince's Wedding
The capital city, the prime minister’s mansion.
In the middle of winter, the weather is extremely cold. The gorgeous and huge palace of the Prime Minister was also covered by the overwhelming snowflakes.
Today is a happy day for the Prime Minister to marry his daughter. Almost all the princes and ministers and nobles in the entire Loulan country gathered here in the cold wind, just because the daughter of the Prime Minister to marry not someone else, but the current crown prince Han Rongxu!
This is a major event in the entire Loulan Kingdom! Prince Rongxu is the future emperor's candidate, and he is the emperor's favorite prince. The emperor is weak and sick now, and he seems to be unable to live long. It will be a matter of time before Prince Rongxu inherits the throne. The Shen family has now formed a family with the royal family, so Chen Chuyao may be the future queen in the future! With this relationship, who in Loulan is not afraid of Chen Muzhi's three points?
As the evening approached, the entire Chen Mansion was filled with lights and colorful scenes, and the houses were covered with the red "囍" characters, which looked so festive. The crowds who came to give gifts in the morning have been in constant flow, never interrupted, as if the whole Loulan people came to congratulate Chen Xiang's joy of marrying his daughter.
In the hall, Chen Muzhi and his wife worked hard to greet the crowds who came to congratulate him since the morning, and he has never rested for a moment until now.
Sitting quietly on the main hall chair in the hall, Chen Muzhi was in that forty years, but he still looked energetic and imposing.
There were laughter and joy everywhere in the hall. In this joyful and peaceful state, it seemed that even the cold of winter became less obvious.
Among the crowd, a maid was full of panic. The maid secretly walked through the crowd, stood behind Shen Muzhi, and said to Chen Muzhi cautiously and quietly. "Master, the lady is still unwilling to dress up." The maid spoke very little, for fear that others would hear it.
Hearing Xin'er's words, Chen Muzhi still remained calm and still had a smile on his face as if nothing had happened. He turned around and looked at Xin'er and said with a smile. "Go again! If you can't do this little thing well, you know the consequences!" Although there was a smile on his face, there was a cold and cold feeling.
Xin'er was shocked by fear, and hurriedly asked Chen Muzhifu to bless her body, and then quickly walked out of the hall.
Through the corridor, Xin'er walked very fast along the way. In such a cold winter, her forehead was covered with cold sweat.
After coming to ###, all the noise and noise in the vestry disappeared, replaced by calmness, a kind of calmness that makes people feel inexplicably at ease.
Who would have thought that in this noisy prime minister's mansion, there was a quiet and elegant small house in the lake. The small house in the lake was built very uniquely, just standing in the center of the lake, surrounded by small marble bridges, and the surroundings of the lake were covered with trees, flowers and plants. From a distance, the small house standing in the lake seemed to be surrounded by green mountains and green waters, like a fairyland on earth.
Xin'er randomly wiped away the cold sweat from her forehead, then hurriedly walked through the stone bridge in the lake and stood in front of the small house in the lake.
Taking a deep breath, she first stabilized her breathing, and then gently knocked on the door. "Miss, Miss, are you inside?"
After waiting for a long time, there was still no response from the people in the house. Xin'er was so anxious that she couldn't help but raise her tone and called out to the house again. "Miss, Miss, are you inside? If you are inside, hurry up and reply to Xin'er!"
After waiting for a long time again, there was still no response from the people in the house. Xin'er was so anxious that she almost cried. Just when she was so anxious that she had no idea, a female voice as moving as a yellow oriole came from the house. "Go and tell my father that as long as I don't marry, no one can force me."
"Miss, Xin'er begs you, don't be willful. You marry Prince Rongxu this time. If you refuse to marry, then our entire Prime Minister's Mansion will be in trouble!" Prince Rongxu has always been cruel. If the lady really refuses marriage, then they are afraid that all the people in the entire Prime Minister's Mansion will suffer.
"The disaster is coming? Isn't it a disaster for me to marry someone I don't love?" Although she grew up with Prince Rongxu since childhood, she has no favoritism to the arrogant, ruthless, cruel and unkind Prince Rongxu. If she wants her to marry someone she doesn't love, then she would rather not marry for life and become a monk.
Seeing Chen Chuyao's attitude so firm, Xin'er was worried that if she could not persuade Chen Chuyao, she would be afraid that her own life would not be saved. "Miss, Xin'er begs you, just come out! Xin'er kowtowed to you." As she said that, Xin'er hurriedly kowtowed and kowtowed several times at the door.
There was a moment of silence in the room. After a long time, a faint sigh suddenly came, and then the door was slowly opened. A woman with a beautiful appearance and graceful figure stood quietly in the room.
There was a hint of helplessness in her expression, and the water-like eyes were filled with a faint sorrow, but it seemed even more charming. She slowly leaned down on her body, and her long black hair, which was as beautiful as silk, slid on her chest with her movements, making the white silk skirt look even more eye-catching.
With a stretch of her hand, she helped Xin'er, who was kneeling on the ground.
He opened his red lips lightly, and Chen Chuyao exhaled Ruolan. "Don't cry, am I coming out?"
"Miss, thank you..." Xin'er was moved. She knew that the lady loved her so much and would never abandon her.
Extending her green jade hand, Chen Chuyao picked up the scarf and gently wiped away all the tears from Xin'er's face. "Let's go! Come with me to the hall." As soon as she finished speaking, she took a step without waiting for Xin'er to react.
She promised Xin'er to come out, but that didn't mean she compromised. She said that she would not marry Prince Rongxu, so she would definitely not marry him. Even if she died, no one could force her.
Seeing Chen Chuyao go further and further away, Xin'er only reacted. "Miss, wait for me!" She hurriedly caught up with Chen Chuyao. No matter what happened, she would be with the lady.
Through the corridor, Chen Chuyao walked all the way to the hall. Before she could enter the hall, she could hear the laughter coming from the hall.
With her eyebrow blinking, she began to hesitate for some reason. The prince's wedding was absent, and there were definitely many people coming to congratulate her. She rushed in like this. Wouldn't her father not be able to get out of Taiwan? But if she didn't use this method, she would really not be able to think of any good way to reject this marriage.
Taking a deep breath, she finally made up her mind to walk into the hall quickly.
As Chen Chuyao walked in, the hall became quiet for a moment. When everyone saw that Chen Chuyao was not in a happy costume, they couldn't help but feel confused.
Chen Muzhi's face suddenly became stiff, but he quickly calmed down, raised his smile again, looked at Chen Chuyao calmly and said with a smile. "Chuyao, why haven't you changed your clothes yet? Is it not suitable for you?" His expression didn't look strange, but he used his eyes to signal Chen Chuyao not to cause trouble and be obedient.
Chen Chuyao ignored her father's wink at all and said softly to all the guests in the house. "Please come back with everyone! Today's wedding banquet has been cancelled." She is alone and not the same thing, nor is it a stepping stone to lay a future for her father.
There was a lot of discussion in the hall, and everyone couldn't help but whisper, paying the highest attention to the father and daughter.
"Chuyao, what are you talking nonsense? Why don't you go back to the room soon!" Seeing everyone whispering, Chen Muzhi hurriedly scolded Chen Chuyao, then winked at his wife beside him, signaling her to take Chen Chuyao back to the room as soon as possible.
"I won't go back! Dad, I said that I will decide the major issues of my marriage. If you force me to marry someone I don't like, then I will never surrender even if I die!" The person she hates most in her life is Prince Rongxu! Prince Rongxu is a sinister and cunning person, and is very lustful. If she lets marry such a man, then she would rather marry a fool! At least she doesn't have to worry about whether her husband is spending money outside, and she has to endure the loneliness of the deep palace.
When Chen Muzhi and his wife heard that their daughter had made such a rebellious words, they all gasped, and the guests in the room looked at Chen Chuyao in shock, and the discussions resounded throughout the hall.
"You unfilial daughter!" Chen Mu grabbed the wine glass beside him with aura and smashed it towards Chen Chuyao.
Chen Chuyao did not avoid it and let the wine glass hurt her shoulder. She knew that what happened today was her fault, but even if it was her fault, she would never back down. She would rather be beaten to death by her father than marry a lustful and fickle man.
"Dad, Chu Yao knows that what happened today is my fault, but do you really have the heart to marry me to a man like that?" She didn't care whether Rong Xu was the prince or not. She only knew that she hated this man, and to be precise, she should be very annoying.
As soon as she said this, all the guests gasped and couldn't help but whisper in their hearts. Chen Chuyao really didn't want life anymore, and she even dared to say bad things about Prince Rongxu!
"You...you..." Chen Mu's heart ached, and he almost couldn't stand firm. Fortunately, his wife hurriedly supported him, so she didn't let him fall to the ground.
Seeing that her father was so angry that he looked like this, Chen Chuyao felt guilty. She didn't want to do this, but if she didn't refuse in public, she was afraid that her father would still try every means to marry her to Rong Xu. Only by saying these words in front of everyone can she completely shorten her father's thoughts!
