My husband, who abandoned his father and kept his son, actually wants me to be his concubine.

Chapter 84 Daring to Impersonate the Seventh Prince's Consort
After Lu Jinshi finished dressing, it was already bright outside. Because she wanted to see Zhang'er as soon as possible, she was also looking forward to Rong Yi's wedding procession arriving early.

At 3:45 AM, the sound of ceremonial music could be heard.

The maid Caiyun rushed in and reported, "Miss, the Seventh Prince has arrived. Right now, the young master is at the door, stopping the Seventh Prince to compose a poem urging him to get ready."

Lu Jinshi peeked out, somewhat curious about what Rong Yi looked like today.

About fifteen minutes later, a lively sound came from outside the courtyard.

Lu Jinshi only heard his younger cousin Yiran and Xu Dan asking for the reward money. A moment later, the door was opened.

Lu Jinshi placed the silk fan in front of him and used it to cover his face.

"Seventh Prince's Consort, I've come to pick you up."

Hearing Rong Yi's voice, Lu Jinshi saw Rong Yi's large hands under the fan. She placed her hands on Rong Yi's hands and slowly got up and walked out with him.

As Lu Jinshi walked side by side with Rong Yi, she secretly glanced at Rong Yi and had to admit that Rong Yi's most outstanding feature was his face.

Rong Yi glanced down at Lu Jinshi, then leaned close to her ear and said, "Bear with it. Once we get to the Jade Palace, you can look at it for as long as you want."

Lu Jinshi felt his face flush red.

Rong Yi took Lu Jinshi to the main hall of the Princess's Mansion to bid farewell to Lu Jinshi's parents. As there was a distinction between ruler and subject, Lu Mingzhu and Qin Zhao stood to see Lu Jinshi off.

Qin Zhao said to Lu Jinshi, "Miaomiao, you and the Seventh Prince will live in harmony in the future, and I will wholeheartedly assist you."

"Yes, daddy."

With her eyes slightly red, Lu Mingzhu looked at Rong Yi and said, "Seventh Prince, I entrust my Miaomiao to you. Please treat Miaomiao well in the future. I have spoiled her rotten. I never thought that she would enter the imperial family one day. If she ever displeases you, please part amicably and return Miaomiao to me."

Upon hearing Lu Mingzhu's words, Qin Zhao couldn't help but tighten his grip on Lu Mingzhu's hand.

Rong Yi said solemnly, "Mother-in-law, rest assured, that day will never come. I will treat Miaomiao and Zhang'er well and will never let you worry. Miaomiao and I will take our leave now."

When Lu Jinshi left her parents, she knew she didn't need to kneel, but she still knelt down and performed a grand ceremony, saying, "Father, Mother, after I get married, please take good care of yourselves and don't worry about me."

Rong Yi helped Lu Jinshi up and led her out of the Princess's mansion.

Lu Jinshi sat in the bridal sedan chair. Today, the sedan chair would circle the inner city of Chang'an, sharing the joy with all the people.

Lu Jinshi rode in a bridal sedan chair carried by thirty-two bearers, which was extremely stable. This procession was comparable to that of the Crown Prince marrying the Crown Princess.

Sitting in the bridal sedan chair and going around the city was quite boring for Lu Jinshi, especially since she was eager to see her little Zhang'er.

Having barely slept the previous night, Lu Jinshi was starting to feel drowsy in the slightly swaying bridal sedan chair.

Lu Jinshi was sound asleep when she was awakened by a burst of firecrackers. She was quite impressed with herself for being able to fall asleep inside the bridal sedan chair.

I wonder if my makeup is okay?
The sound of firecrackers must have reached the palace by now, but has she been asleep for that long?

Seeing that there was no movement outside for a long time, Lu Jinshi secretly lifted the curtain to take a look. It turned out that they had not arrived at the palace, but at the gate of the Yongxing Marquis's residence.

The firecrackers set off by the Yongxing Marquis's residence blocked the way for the wedding procession.

Lu Jinshi whispered a few words to Caiyun, who was following beside the bridal sedan chair.

After receiving the order, Caiyun went to Rong Yi and whispered, "Seventh Prince, my lady asks you to wait here for a quarter of an hour."

Rong Yi frowned slightly. He really didn't want his marriage to Lu Jinshi to be involved in anything, but he couldn't refuse Lu Jinshi's enthusiasm, so he ordered the wedding procession to rest for a quarter of an hour.

Inside the Yongxing Marquis's residence, the He family's guests had already gathered. It was lunchtime, and the guests were enjoying a celebratory feast, with toasts and laughter filling the air.

Liu Xiuxiu was extremely anxious in He Jinlan's room. She had invited so many guests; she didn't want them to become a laughing stock.

When Liu Xiuxiu heard the sound of firecrackers coming from the door, she breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness, thank goodness."

He Jinlan smiled and said, "Mother, I told you you were overthinking it, didn't I? Has the Seventh Prince already come in?"

The housekeeper beside Liu Xiuxiu hurriedly came in to report: "Madam, Miss, the Seventh Prince's wedding procession is already at the door, but, but the Seventh Prince does not seem to be dismounting to come in and greet the bride."

Madam He said, "The Seventh Prince is a son of the imperial family. It is already very good that he came to our Marquis's residence in person. How can we really let him dismount and come in to greet the bride? Quickly send Jinlan out."

He Jinlan grabbed a ceremonial fan from the side to cover her face and hurriedly walked out.

Halfway there, He Jinlan asked, "Mother, should I still go and say goodbye to Father?"

Liu Xiuxiu said, "No need, you should go quickly."

He Jiayi helped He Jinlan up and said, "Sister, watch your step."

He Jinlan covered her face with a fan in both hands, and she looked at the ground with great care.

When the bride came out, all the guests of the He family went to the door of the He family to see He Jinlan off.

"Jinlan will be the Seventh Prince's Consort in the future."

“I knew Jinlan was a lucky girl when she was little. She has a really good life.”

"The Seventh Prince is handsome and has a bright future ahead of him!"

The guests at the He family's residence all offered their congratulations to He Jinlan.

He Jinlan couldn't help but feel a little proud. He Jiayi, who was supporting He Jinlan, also straightened her back. She also wanted to leave a good impression on the guests so that her wedding would go smoothly.

Rong Yi, riding his chestnut horse, frowned as he saw the bride emerge.

Madam He bowed to Rong Yi and said, "Seventh Prince, the Seventh Prince's Consort has arrived."

Rong Yi frowned and asked, "What Seventh Prince's Consort?"

The second wife of the He family said, "The imperial decree issued by His Majesty concerns your seventh prince's wife, the eldest daughter of the He family."

Rong Yi, seeing the group of guests at the entrance of the He family's residence, said, "My Seventh Prince's consort is indeed the eldest daughter of the He family, but I have already welcomed her into the bridal sedan chair. What kind of imposter has your He family found to dare to impersonate the Seventh Prince's consort?"

He Jinlan moved the ceremonial fan away from her hand and said, "Seventh Prince, it is me. I am not impersonating the Seventh Prince's Consort. I am the Seventh Prince's Consort."

Liu Xiuxiu stepped forward and said, "Seventh Prince..."

Madam He smiled at Rong Yi, who was riding on horseback, and said, "Seventh Prince, this is Jinlan, there is no imposter."

Rong Yi scoffed, "The Yongxing Marquis's Mansion has some nerve! They dare to deceive the emperor, defy the imperial edict, and have someone impersonate the Seventh Prince's Consort! Guards, arrest everyone from the Yongxing Marquis's Mansion and take them to the palace to report to Father Emperor that the He family dared to deceive the imperial edict!"

He Jinlan said, "Seventh Prince, we did not deceive the imperial decree. Isn't the eldest daughter of the He family me?"

Lu Jinshi lifted the curtain of the bridal sedan chair, and she slowly stepped out. She put down the bridal fan in her hand, and her red lips parted slightly: "You are the eldest daughter of the He family? Then who am I?"

He Jinlan looked at Lu Jinshi, who was dressed in a brocade wedding gown, and then at the gilded phoenix crown on her head, the phoenix tails displaying seven colors in the sunlight. She said anxiously, "You've even changed your surname to Lu!"

Lu Jinshi said with a faint smile, "I changed my surname to Lu, and I am also the eldest daughter in the He family genealogy. Do you think you can be so unfilial as to not even recognize the genealogy?"
