The princess traveled through time for a year to help the prince build his kingdom and then left

Six quarters of the You hour, Prince Yan's Palace.

"The Emperor and Empress have arrived!"

"The Imperial Concubine Qi has arrived!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

Inside the grand banquet hall, everyone knelt down and saluted.

The eldest princess had already arrived and hurriedly stood up to pay her respects to the Emperor of the East.

The butler led the distinguished guests to high seats and sat them down before the other guests sat down.

Emperor Dong looked up at the guests present.

Not many ministers from the court came to attend the Prince of Yan's wedding.

The Minister of War Zhou Yuxuan would naturally come, as he is the grandfather of Prince Yan.

Sitting next to him were Mrs. Zhou, eldest son Zhou Zihan, and eldest daughter Zhou Yutong.

The Minister of Rites is here. This old guy never offends anyone.

Prime Minister Qi and his wife came with Qi Siyue.

Minister of Revenue Wu Yong and his wife came, but Wu Lijuan did not.

Also present were some generals under the King of Yan.

The Queen nodded to Minister Zhou, and Zhou Yuxuan quickly clasped his fists in return.

Concubine Qi also nodded to Prime Minister Qi, and Prime Minister Qi returned the greeting with a fist.

When Concubine Qi glanced at Qi Siyue, Qi Siyue nodded slightly.

Chu Tianxing sat there drinking tea absentmindedly, glancing towards the entrance of the banquet hall from time to time.

After a while, Zhu Shijie walked in wearing a brand new red suit.

After paying his respects to Emperor Dong and the others, he sat down next to the eldest princess.

The eldest princess looked at him and asked in a low voice: "Why did you come so late?"

Zhu Shijie smiled slyly: "I went to watch the fun."

A moment later, Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Li Shilin came in in a panic.

He knelt down before the Eastern Emperor and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I failed in my duty. I failed in my duty!"

Emperor Dong was confused. What was going on with this Li Shilin?

This man is usually very sensible, and the prince often praises him for his efficient work.

What's going on today?

"Lord Li, why are you so flustered?"

Li Shilin raised his head and saw a purple bruise on his forehead.

He glanced at the prince quietly and said loudly:

"Just now, a villain appeared on Changyang Street and set fire to the bridal sedan of Princess Yan..."

"what?!"

The Queen stood up in amazement.

The Emperor of the East reached out and held the Queen's hand, comforting her: "Zichan, don't worry, just listen to what he has to say."

After the queen sat down, he turned to Li Shilin and said, "Let's get to the point. Is there anything wrong with the Princess of Yan?"

Li Shilin raised his head tremblingly and looked at the prince.

Chu Tianxing nodded imperceptibly.

Li Shilin then said confidently: "The Princess of Yan is in danger."

There was a cry of surprise at the scene.

The queen was so shocked that she opened her mouth and was speechless.

Concubine Qi glanced at the Queen and was secretly delighted, but pretended to be extremely heartbroken on her face.

"Sister, please think more positively. Miss Qin is a lucky person. She won't just ..."

She was so sad that she couldn't continue.

Zhu Shijie coughed lightly, "My Lady Imperial Concubine, we haven't figured out what happened yet, so don't rush into mourning."

Concubine Qi glared at him and said nothing more.

Zhu Shijie suddenly attacked Li Shilin:

"Sir Li, the Jingzhao Prefecture cannot escape blame for the appearance of a bad guy on Changyang Street. You did not sincerely apologize, but cursed the royal family members without restraint. What crime should you be punished for?"

Li Shilin was shocked and kowtowed to apologize.

"I deserve death."

Chu Tianxing glanced at Zhu Shijie unhappily, "Sir, Lord Li is just telling the truth, why are you so aggressive?"

Zhu Shijie looked like a scoundrel, pointing at Li Shilin and saying, "I just don't like him."

"stop fighting!"

The Emperor of the East shouted.

He asked the palace steward, "Where is the King of Yan?"

The housekeeper knelt down and reported: "When the auspicious time arrives and the wedding begins, the Prince of Yan and his wife will appear."

Emperor Dong nodded, and looked around. He saw that the servants of Prince Yan's Mansion were busy in an orderly manner, adding tea and pouring water as needed, without a trace of panic.

Seven quarters of the You hour.

The Emperor of the East glanced at the Prefect of Jingzhao with suspicion.

"Hao Qiang!"

Hao Qiang, the chief guard of the Eastern Emperor, stepped forward immediately and said, "I am here!"

"Go to Changyang Street to check the details."

"Yes!"

Hao Qiang took his men out.

Li Shilin knelt alone in the middle of the hall, feeling very uneasy.

A moment later, Hao Qiang came back.

"Your Majesty, everything is normal on Changyang Street."

The Emperor of the East glanced at Li Shilin and asked Hao Qiang, "Where is the sedan chair of the Princess of Yan?"

"We have arrived at the gate of the palace." Hao Qiang answered respectfully.

what?

Chu Tianxing and Li Shilin looked at each other and saw a horrified look of "seeing a ghost" in each other's eyes.

At this moment, there were loud gongs and drums and firecrackers at the gate of Prince Yan's Mansion.

Everyone present had different expressions.

Some were relieved, some were full of doubts, and some were extremely surprised...

As soon as he heard the sound of firecrackers, Li Shilin, who was kneeling on the ground, began to shiver uncontrollably until his whole body was shaking like a sieve.

Dongdi winked at Hao Qiang, who immediately stepped forward, grabbed the collar of Li Shilin, who was like a puddle of mud, and retreated.

Chu Tianxing clenched his fists tightly, veins bulged on the back of his hands, and his face turned ashen, as if he was suffocating from the pressure of an invisible anger.

Seeing this, Concubine Qi on the side couldn't help but frown slightly. A trace of worry appeared on her beautiful face, and she felt a little uneasy about the current situation.

The queen, who was sitting next to the Emperor Dong, breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders.

Her originally tense expression relaxed a little, and a hint of relief flashed in her eyes.

Suddenly, she realized that Dongdi had been holding her hand.

She calmly pulled her hand out, smiled at Dongdi, and said, "Let's start the wedding, don't miss the auspicious time."

At this time, it was the hour of Xu.

Xushi, also known as dusk, is considered the best time to hold a wedding as the ancients believed dusk was the time when yin and yang were in harmony and day and night alternated.

The Emperor of the East sat upright and said in a loud voice: "The wedding begins!"

The prince's wedding was presided over by an official from the Ministry of Rites appointed by the emperor.

The ceremonial officer immediately stepped forward, bowed and saluted, "Yes."

The ceremonial officer turned around and looked towards the entrance of the banquet hall.

From a distance, I watched the newlyweds walk to the entrance of the hall and stop.

The ceremonial officer then shouted: "The auspicious time has arrived! The wedding begins!"

Chu Tiancheng stood at the door with his head held high, his eyes swept towards Concubine Qi, the Crown Prince and others sitting in high seats in the hall, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Standing next to him was Qin Rubing, who was wearing a red veil. She had a calm expression but was a little excited inside.

After all, we are going to experience an ancient wedding.

Chu Tiancheng stretched out his right hand, grabbed Qin Rubing's left hand, and led her into the hall.

His hand touched the jade bracelet on Qin Rubing's left hand, and a cool and smooth feeling spread from his hand to his whole body.

His hand trembled slightly, and then he held Qin Rubing's hand tighter.

Staring at the bride approaching gracefully, Chu Tianxing was stunned: Who is she under the red veil?
