Chapter 452 The Prince Arrives
The ceremony of worshipping in the hall is still the same as in ancient times, with the official in charge of ceremony giving the order, and the newlyweds worshipping heaven and earth, their parents, and each other.
Luo Qingge's wedding dress was too long, making it inconvenient for her to turn around during the wedding ceremony, so Xie Liuzheng personally squatted down to help her adjust it without any impatience.
The queen looked at Xie Liuzheng with a smile on her face, and the more she looked at him, the more satisfied she became.
The fact that he noticed these small details and took the trouble to help her organize them shows that he really likes Luo Qingge.
When you really like someone, you will pay attention to all her actions.
The queen felt that by marrying Luo Qingge to him, she would feel relieved!
Duke Rong and his wife were even more delighted with their smiles. They had been looking forward to it for so long, and finally the day had come for Xie Liuzheng to get married and marry his beautiful beauty.
They were extremely satisfied with Luo Qingge as their daughter-in-law, and felt that a worry had been put to rest.
On the other side, Xue Mansion.
Compared with the liveliness of the Duke Rong's Mansion, Luo Qianxue's wedding scene seemed much more desolate.
Its grandeur is not as great as that of the Duke Rong's Mansion, and it does not have as many guests as that of the Duke Rong's Mansion.
Even the fifty tables that the Xue family had carefully prepared were not even half full.
Almost all the dignitaries just sent someone to deliver a gift and then went to attend the wedding of Luo Qingge and Xie Liuzheng!
The other party is the Queen's most beloved daughter, and the man she married is the only prince of the Rongguo Mansion. There is no comparison between her and Luo Qianxue and Xue Cheng.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows which side to go to.
Concubine Li and the Xue couple sat in the upper seats. The Xue couple were all smiles, thinking that it was a blessing for their family that their son Xue Cheng could marry the princess.
Concubine Li had a gloomy face throughout the whole process and was very dissatisfied with this marriage.
It was not only because Luo Qianxue got married, but also because Luo Qianxue and Luo Qingge got married on the same day, but Luo Qianxue was completely suppressed by the other.
Emperor Jingyang did not show up today. Luo Qianxue's nominal brother, Luo Junhe, is a cripple and cannot get out of bed.
Ji Yuntang, the sister-in-law, went directly to the Rongguo Mansion and didn't even give them any gifts.
Now, the only relatives who came to Luo Qianxue were her and the Cao family.
Concubine Li was furious and she cursed Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe thousands of times in her mind.
These two unlucky guys have no self-awareness at all. Luo Qianxue still calls them brother and sister-in-law. They are so stingy and mean.
It was not until the ceremonial officer came up and said that the wedding ceremony was about to begin and asked them to get ready that Concubine Li forced a smile.
Luo Qianxue and Xue Cheng walked out slowly, holding a red silk ribbon with a big red flower tied in the middle.
The two men stood still and the ceremonial officer called out the salute.
"A worship of heaven and earth..."
Just then, a voice sounded outside, attracting everyone's attention.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
Concubine Li was not very happy at first, but when she heard these words, she stood up excitedly, staring at the door without blinking.
Luo Jingshen is here?
is this real?
Deep down, she was both looking forward to and afraid of seeing Luo Jingshen, but also afraid that he might not be able to figure it out and come to Luo Qianxue's wedding banquet with a purpose to cause trouble.
If Luo Qianxue's wedding was ruined, all of them would probably be doomed.
Concubine Li clenched her hands under her sleeves and felt mixed emotions.
It was not until she saw Luo Jingshen walking in, dressed in a purple-gold and black robe, that a smile appeared on her lips.
Just because she saw Luo Jingshen taking the gift from the servant, he took a few steps forward and spoke slowly.
"Today, my tenth sister and Mr. Xue are getting married. I have specially prepared gifts and come to congratulate them on their wedding."
"I don't know what my tenth sister likes. These are the glass lamps and the night-shining pearls from the East China Sea that were sent as tribute from the Western Regions. I hope my tenth sister and Master Xue will accept them."
Luo Qianxue's brows knitted slightly under her veil. These two things were obviously very valuable. She couldn't understand what the prince was up to.
It was obvious that their relationship was not good before.
Because Concubine Li favored Luo Jingshen, she hated the prince so much that they didn't even say a word when they met on the street.
But today, the other party actually came to attend his wedding banquet and personally presented such an expensive gift?
No matter how Luo Qianxue thought about it, she felt it was a little strange.
Isn't Luo Jingshen Luo Qingge's brother? Why didn't he go to Luo Qingge's place, but came to his place instead?
But there is no doubt that Luo Jingshen's arrival was a great honor for the Xue Mansion, making the guests present look proud and stand up excitedly.
Xue Cheng's parents even stood up to greet him with a very respectful attitude.
"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It is a great honor for our Xue family that His Royal Highness can attend my son's wedding banquet today. I am so happy!"
Luo Jingshen glanced at him and said indifferently: "Master Xue and Madam Xue, there is no need to be polite. Just treat me as an ordinary guest!"
"I just interrupted the wedding ceremony between Tenth Sister and Master Xue. Now please continue!"
As Luo Jingshen was talking, he was about to find a place to sit down, but Concubine Li said in time: "Your Highness, wait a minute."
Facing everyone's puzzled looks, Concubine Li smiled and said, "The emperor was frightened by the assassination and was unable to attend Xue'er and Cheng'er's wedding banquet today, but he usually dotes on Xue'er."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here today, presumably on behalf of the Emperor. How about letting him sit with me in the Emperor's seat?"
"This way, when Xue'er and Cheng'er pay their respects to their parents, there will be someone to receive their greetings."
After these words were spoken, everyone's expressions changed, and Luo Qianxue's face turned dark.
One should bow to both sets of parents, but Concubine Li actually let Luo Jingshen sit in her father's position and accept her kneeling worship on his behalf. Does she know what she is saying?
I thought Luo Jingshen would definitely refuse such a ridiculous request.
Unexpectedly, he agreed immediately.
"Since Lady Li has said so, I will be disrespectful to accept it."
"The Tenth Princess is my half-sister after all. My father was unable to come today, so I should share his worries."
As soon as he finished speaking, he lifted his sleeves and sat down directly.
Luo Qianxue's face turned green. How dare he sit on it?
What qualifications did he have to sit there and accept their kneeling worship?
Luo Qianxue felt that this was an insult from Luo Jingshen. In her entire life, she had never seen a half-brother kneeling down to receive worship when the parents were not present during a wedding ceremony.
My father didn't go to the Duke of Rong's Mansion either, so why didn't Luo Jingshen go to them and let Xie Liuzheng and Luo Qingge kneel down to him?
It's obvious that he thinks I'm easy to bully!
Luo Qianxue's face under the veil was full of anger. She was about to say something when Xue Cheng pulled her.
