Quick Wear: The Stunning Beauty is Forbidden to Be Pampered

Chapter 175 World 3: The Emperor Who Has No Heir Seizes His Minister’s Wife (54)

Prime Minister's House.

The lights are on and firecrackers are blasting.

Although there were not many guests coming and going, all of them had smiles on their faces and were filled with joy.

The Prime Minister's wife looked at the couple who were about to get married, with a smile on her face, but the smile did not reach her eyes. She just pretended to be so good that no one could make a mistake.

Xie Changling was too lazy to even pretend. He was clearly getting married, but he looked as sad as if he had lost his parents, and the corners of his mouth could not even curl up.

"Worship the heavens and the earth-"

The matchmaker is still the same matchmaker, the groom is still the same groom, but the bride has changed.

Just as they were about to continue their wedding ceremony, the eunuch's voice was heard outside the door: "The Emperor has arrived, and Concubine Ling has arrived—"

Xie Changling's body trembled. What did he hear? Concubine Ling, is it his Xier? It must be. Xier's real name is Song Lingxi.

He wanted to leave everyone behind and go meet the person he had been thinking about day and night.

He really missed Xier, her voice, her smile, her coquettishness, and even more her smell...

However, before he took the first step, the Prime Minister's wife called out to him: "Xie Changling!"

Xie Changling paused, and while he was stunned, the guests gathered around the emperor and came forward, but they all kept their distance.

"I, your humble servant, pay my respects to His Majesty, and to His Majesty the Imperial Concubine."

None of the guests dared to look up. After all, looking directly into the emperor's face was a serious crime. Therefore, it did not seem out of place for Xie Changling to lower his head.

"No need to be polite—"

The emperor stood in front of the wedding hall holding Song Lingxi's hand, looking at the prime minister's wife who was in the lead: "I am here with Xi'er to join in the fun, so please don't be too polite."

The Prime Minister's wife was very nervous. She had just held down Xie Changling and did not let anyone be rude. But she didn't know if her silly son could hold on when he met the Imperial Concubine.

"It is a great honor for the Prime Minister's Mansion that His Majesty and His Majesty are willing to come. How dare I neglect them? Please don't despise the humbleness of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Please take your seats, His Majesty and His Majesty."

The Prime Minister's wife knew how to socialize, and she spoke beautifully, putting herself in a very humble position, which made the superior feel comfortable listening to her.

"No problem."

The emperor took Song Lingxi's hand and walked around the prime minister's wife to the throne. This was originally the position of the prime minister and the prime minister's wife, symbolizing Xie Changling's elder.

Now, the position of the elder has become him and Song Lingxi. This is a warning from the emperor.

Xie Changling kept his head lowered respectfully, even though he was extremely reluctant and wanted to take a look at Song Lingxi very much, but he was afraid that he could not control his inner desire.

Xiao Jin looked at Xie Changling, who had his head down so that his expression could not be seen clearly. His first reaction was not to ask him to raise his head, but to look at Song Lingxi's reaction.

There was no expression on Song Lingxi's face, but there was a hint of bitterness in her eyes. This bitterness was keenly captured by Xiao Jin, and he tightened his grip on Song Lingxi's big hand.

Xiao Jin's heart also began to feel uneasy. He was clearly here to sever the bad fate between the two, not to allow them to renew their old relationship.

He prepared himself mentally, took a deep breath, forced a smile on his face, and spoke loudly.

"I have made a mistake in marrying a couple, and they have become a pair of resentful lovers. Now, I am going to make things right. I hope that your son and the daughter of the Jiang family can create a good story."

"Yes, Your Majesty is right."

The Prime Minister's wife responded repeatedly, her smile brighter than flowers, and she didn't show any reluctance at all. However, the Prime Minister's wife's attitude made Song Lingxi feel a little sour.

In her previous life, she was alone and helpless, and regarded the Prime Minister's Mansion as her only home and the Prime Minister's wife as her own mother. After her rebirth, everything changed.

As for Xie Changling, he was still in the same look as before, without even raising his head, which made Xiao Jin a little unhappy, so he started to get angry.

"Why, is the groom unhappy on his big day?"

Everyone followed his gaze and looked at Xie Changling. They couldn't look directly at the emperor's face, but they could still look at the little boy.

The Jiang family members were also among the guests. Seeing that the emperor was obviously displeased with Xie Changling, and thinking of the status of the imperial concubine, they frowned.

Their daughter has never been able to find a husband because of some physical disabilities, but for this reason, it is also not easy to find a husband for other daughters in the family.

So, Jiang Lu took the lead and directly asked the emperor to grant the marriage, hoping that the other party would be a good person who would not mistreat his daughter. However, she never expected that the emperor would point to the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Later, I heard that the first wife of the prime minister's eldest son was taken into the palace by the emperor to be his imperial concubine. Doesn't this create enmity?

Even though the Jiang family wanted to regret their decision, it was too late. The imperial edict had already been issued, and there was no way they could ask the emperor to take it back. They could only accept it with a pinch of their nose.

Now it seems that the rumors are true. They suddenly felt that they had pushed their daughter into the fire pit. With the emperor watching her from now on, there would be no peace for them.

They watched Xie Changling's reaction quietly, hoping that he would show some courage and not anger the emperor, who would then execute him directly and leave their daughter with the reputation of being a jinx.

……

After Xie Changling heard what Xiao Jin said, he felt his heart bleeding. He stole his Xier and asked him if he was happy. Was this human language?

But he could not express the slightest displeasure, for he knew that if his performance did not satisfy him, he and his family would suffer the emperor's wrath.

Xie Changling adjusted his expression, smiled straight, without a trace of reluctance on his face, and his smile was even brighter than the day he married Song Lingxi.

"Your Majesty, that's not true. It is my great honor that you care about me so much. Moreover, you have given me such a virtuous wife. I am so happy!"

Xie Changling looked straight ahead, not even daring to glance at Song Lingxi. One of his hands tightly held the hand of the woman beside him, looking like a couple with a love stronger than gold.

He smiled naturally and happily, without showing any reluctance, especially the look he gave the bride, which was so gentle and doting, as if he wanted to see her into his heart.

Xiao Jin stared at Xie Changling's eyes, trying to see if there was any sign of lying in his eyes, but unfortunately, he could not find any flaws no matter how hard he looked.

Suddenly, he laughed out loud, and also held Song Lingxi's hand tightly, and laughed.

"Hahahahahahaha, Xi'er, look, they are really a perfect match made in heaven. If I had known earlier, I would have granted them a marriage earlier and saved so much effort."

"Isn't that right, Xier?"

Xier.

It's my Xier!

She was clearly my Xier, but you took her away from me. What else do you want? Don’t you think you’ve been hurt enough?

Xie Changling hid his other hand in his sleeve, in a corner where no one could see. He squeezed his hand until it bled, but he didn't feel any pain at all.

But he pretended very well. From Xiao Jin's perspective, there was no trace of disguise at all. His smile was so comfortable, as if it was the most sincere smile.

"I think Mr. Xie and Miss Jiang are a perfect match. Your Majesty, please don't delay, lest you delay the auspicious time."

Song Lingxi also learned not to say what she meant, and even if she was unhappy, she couldn't show it.

She is not a saint, so how could she be indifferent to the person she truly loved? Especially when the other person was holding the hand of a new lover, it was really eye-catching for her, an old lover, to see it.

Song Lingxi had a perfect smile on her face, and the guests who were peeking at her were mesmerized by her smile, as if they were seeing the goddess of the sky, with their eyes fixed on her.

However, Xiao Jin's eyes darkened slightly. After being together for so long, how could he not know what Song Lingxi's smile meant? It was a fake smile to hide her true emotions.

But what is her real emotion, reluctance, jealousy, pity, or regret?

Various speculations flashed through Xiao Jin's mind, but in the end, all the thousands of words turned into one sentence: "Continue!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the music began to play again and the atmosphere became lively again.

The guests all had blessing smiles on their faces. Some of them wanted to take advantage of the situation and look at Song Lingxi a few more times, but they were scared away by the emperor's gaze.

Xiao Jin remembered all these people one by one. There would be plenty of time to settle the scores later, but these people didn't know yet!

Xiao Jin later tortured them so much that they were miserable and could not figure out how they had offended the emperor. However, they never remembered the gossip that they had left today.

But these are all later stories, so let’s not talk about them for now.

Back to the present, a loud "Bow to your parents twice".

Xie Changling bowed in the direction of Xiao Jin and Song Lingxi. Even his real mother could only sit on a small stool to accept his greeting.

Do lovers eventually become elders and juniors?

Anyway, Xiao Jin felt relieved after watching this scene. Now, let's see if Xie Changling still has the face to face Song Lingxi since they are not of the same generation.

Until the end, Xie Changling never looked at Song Lingxi. It seemed as if his eyes were glued to his bride, never leaving her for a moment.

It was not until they were sent to the bridal chamber that Emperor Xiao Jin took Song Lingxi's hand and said, "I and the imperial concubine will return to the palace. You don't need to see us off. It's a great day, and I will be too constrained to be with you."

"Farewell to His Majesty, and to His Majesty the Imperial Concubine—"

Only when their backs disappeared did the guests seem to let go of a burden and really start eating and drinking.

However, Song Lingxi's beautiful figure still left a deep impression in their hearts. Such a beautiful image could not be retained.

Everyone secretly thought it was a pity, but at the same time they felt that only the emperor could protect such a beauty.

But what does this have to do with them?

……

In the wedding room.

The matchmaker and the maid were driven out by Xie Changling. He ignored Jiang Yudie on the bed and sat at the table, thinking about something.

The candlelight flickered, several hours had passed, the guests outside gradually went away, and the entire Prime Minister's Mansion fell silent.

Finally, Jiang Yudie couldn't stand the silence anymore, so she spoke out to test the situation.

"Husband?"

Jiang Yudie is an ordinary young lady from an official family. Although she knows about the relationship between Xie Changling and the imperial concubine in the palace, she just wants to live a sincere life.

The word "husband" was her test. If Xie Changling accepted it, she could live a peaceful life with him.

If he doesn't accept it, then...
