The Emperor's uncle loves me! My paranoid wife, don't run away

Chapter 410 The Regent is here!!!

The next morning.

As soon as the sun broke through the clouds, the whole of Kyoto was boiling again.

There was a huge crowd of people in front of the Shen Mansion.

Red satin was hung high, and a huge "喜" character was hung on the door lintel.

Rows of servants from the Shen residence held copper trays and distributed candies, melon seeds, snacks and fruits to the neighbors, smiling so hard that they couldn't stop.

"Little Master, have some candy..."

"Grandma, take this plate of melon seeds, they smell so good!"

The people gathered together in a huge crowd, and many children sat on their fathers' shoulders, dancing excitedly, clapping their hands and shouting.

"Great joy! Great joy——"

"Mother, mother, I heard that the Regent King has come back to life?"

A boy in coarse clothes asked with his head raised.

The woman smiled with her eyes curved and rubbed his head.

"No matter whether he lives or dies, as long as he can feed us and keep us warm and live a good life, he is a good prince."

Although the child didn't understand what "Regent" and "Resurrection" meant, he nodded vigorously, took the candy, and looked very happy.

"Mom is right! Anyone who can let me eat candy every day is a good person!!"

"Hahaha!"

There was laughter all around.

Some people looked at the rows of decorations in front of the Shen Mansion and the "golden plaque" hanging outside.

"Look, the betrothal gifts were just delivered today, and the scene is already so grand. How much bigger will the wedding be tomorrow?"

"Yes, yes, I heard! The Prince Regent is getting married tomorrow, and the new emperor has shown mercy and allowed us common people to enter the palace to see the excitement!"

"My husband was so excited that he didn't sleep all night and planned to go and grab a seat early tomorrow morning."

"There were tents set up inside and outside the palace for a banquet. Even the beggars on North Street could enjoy a bowl of wedding noodles. This is a prosperous era!"

"Oh, my old bones, I've lived for fifty years, and this is the first time I'm going to enter the Imperial Palace. I heard that the floor is paved with gold bricks, and my legs will tremble as soon as I walk in!"

"The wheat has ripened thousands of times... We, the people, are so blessed to have such a regent and emperor..."

……

As the crowd was talking excitedly, the sound of gongs and drums rang out in the distance, like thunder piercing their ears.

At the end of the street, a dozen tall horses came in the lead with neat steps. The horses were covered with red silk, their manes were combed as shiny as ink, and their manes were raised high.

The people exclaimed in surprise.

“Here he comes—the Regent is here!!”

"Oh my god! This scene is so magnificent today—!"

The red silk was like waves, and a team of imperial guards in silver armor followed behind in an orderly and solemn manner, their long spears gleaming with cold light, full of oppression.

At the front of the team, Luo Mian sat upright on a steed, wearing a dark brown robe with gold edges. His black hair was tied up high and fixed with a red gold dragon-patterned crown, and his hair remained untangled in the wind.

He has an upright figure, the corners of his lips are slightly raised, and his expression is cold and calm.

On the left is Yunshui, whose clothes are as white as snow and whose face looks like a banished immortal.

On the right is Mu Shan, wearing black armor and with a sharp look in his eyes.

It must be said that Yunshui and Mushan had put a lot of effort into dressing up today...

The three of them rode side by side, their aura was intimidating.

The people seemed to be looking at a hero walking out of a painting and began to speak.

"Oh my god, I'm even prettier in person than in the portrait..."

"Who's that guy next to him? That young man in white is so handsome he doesn't look like a human being!"

"And that black-armored general is so scary... but I think I'm also... moved..."

"Don't be so infatuated! Look at the betrothal gifts in the back, the boxes are almost piled up to the city gate!"

Behind the team, the betrothal gifts spread out like a long dragon.

Gold, silver, treasures, pearls, night-shining pearls, South Sea glass, cold jade ice sculptures, black iron tripods...

Each box was wrapped in red silk, and the sheer pomp and circumstance alone was enough to make one drop one's jaw.

"Oh my god, is this betrothal gift to the Shen Mansion? Why does it feel like we have to move a national treasury there?"

"I heard the Regent even had a jade phoenix and a golden dragon carved to symbolize the auspicious union between him and Miss Shen!"

"Oh my, this is amazing! This is the ultimate love story we all want!"

Luo Mian tilted his eyes slightly, curled his thin lips, his eyes were as dark as ink, and he laughed softly.

"This betrothal gift...isn't it a little too little?"

Yunshui tilted his head when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, why don't you ask His Majesty if he is willing to give you his palace?"

Mu Shan spoke in a muffled voice.

"Yunshui, do you really have to let the master beat you on such a happy day..."

The people could not hear what they said, but they saw Luo Mian leading thousands of troops, loaded with gold and jade, approaching the gate of Shen Mansion step by step.

This scene shocked the whole of Kyoto.

And Shen Runing——

Hiding in the bedroom at the moment.

Qiuzhi ran back and forth, extremely excited.

"Miss! The betrothal gift line has stretched all the way to the south of the city!!"

"Miss! Should we go to the front hall now?"

"Miss! Madam is calling you!!"

"Miss, you...why is your face so red?"

……

Gongs and drums were also beating in front of the Shen Mansion.

Mr. Shen went out to greet the guests, wearing wedding clothes and with his beard trembling.

Looking at Luo Mian's handsome appearance, the corners of his mouth were almost grinning to his ears.

"Okay, okay!"

"As expected, he's the husband chosen by Ning'er herself..."

Shen Kuo was squeezed in the crowd and was stunned. He turned to ask Shen Li.

"This... is this a betrothal gift? Why does it look like entering the palace to seize the world?"

Shen Li crossed his arms, snorted, glanced at the vast betrothal team, and raised the corner of his mouth.

"That's pretty much it."

Then he turned his head to look at Shen Kuo, who was still stunned, and patted him on the shoulder with a look of pride.

"What's wrong? The dowry from our Shen family is also on par with the others, okay?"

"As the second elder brother, I wish I could exchange all my underwear for silver and add it to the dowry!"

"Let Luo Mian know that our Ning'er is not easy to marry!"

Shen Kuo burst out laughing.

"Why don't you take off your clothes quickly?"

While the two were chatting and laughing, the Regent's team had arrived at the gate of the Shen Mansion.

Luo Mian reined in his horse and stopped slowly. The sunlight shone on his golden crown, casting a dazzling halo.

Behind him, Mu Shan and Yun Shui had already dismounted their horses and stepped forward at the same time, clasping their fists and shouting in unison. Their voices were sonorous and deafening.

"The Prince Regent's Mansion—come to the Shen Mansion to propose marriage—!"

"A thousand boxes of betrothal gold, ten thousand taels of betrothal gifts, a ten-mile long red wedding dress, I wish you a lifelong happiness!"

The people on the street were instantly in an uproar.

“It’s so impressive!!”

"The Regent is marrying a bride, and the people are celebrating!"

……

Luo Mian slowly dismounted.

He raised his eyes slightly and looked at Mr. Shen who was coming towards him with a respectful expression.

"Luo Mian, come and propose marriage!"

Father Shen couldn't help but burst into tears, and pressed Luo Mian's shoulder with a trembling hand.

"Ning'er, I feel relieved now that you are here..."

In the crowd, Qiu Zhi ran back like crazy to Shen Runing who had already arrived in the front hall.
