The Emperor's heart is won, she sits on the Phoenix Throne! The Divine Physician's Eldest

Hearing that the procession ahead was quite large and much more lively than their own, Meng Zhanting unconsciously slowed down, worried that he might offend the important person.

As he slowed down, a green figure appeared in his line of sight.

It was Song Siyao, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Song Siyao, dressed in a green robe and wearing a hat, holding a silk whip, rode a fine horse, looking radiant and full of energy.

Behind her followed several guards holding signs with words of blessing and congratulations.

The guard holding the sign was followed by several guards with swords hanging from their waists, and then there was the beating of gongs and drums.

Bringing up the rear was half of the ceremonial guard from the Prince Ling's residence.

This is a gift that Shen Pei gave to Song Siyao.

According to the rules, Song Siyao's current status is not high enough to warrant a full-fledged honor guard.

Although Song Siyao only ranked first in the academy's assessment, her level was comparable to, or even surpassed, that of the top scholar.

Therefore, Emperor Changlong bestowed upon her the honor due to a top scholar.

With drums and gongs banging, everyone in the procession was beaming with joy.

Yu Xiang and Hong Shao walked on either side of the procession, constantly scattering lucky money.

The surrounding people cheered loudly and offered their blessings.

Meng Zhanting's heart ached with each pang.

He actually looked down on the stunningly beautiful Song Siyao back then. He felt like he had been blinded by greed and was the most foolish person in the world.

However, Song Siyao is now someone he can no longer reach.

Song Siyao's procession collided with the wedding procession, and the originally spacious street suddenly became crowded.

"Make way! Make way! Don't block the way!"

Hong Shao came over to shoo him away, looking at Meng Zhanting with great rudeness.

Meng Zhanting couldn't afford to offend Song Siyao right now, so he could only rein in the horses and move to the side of the road.

Humble!

Be very careful!

Dare to be angry but dare not speak!

He never imagined that one day, when he and Song Siyao were walking towards each other on the same road, he would have to give way to Song Siyao.

Song Siyao knew that Meng Zhanting was getting married to Song Yu'er today, and she also knew that Song Yu'er was going to take this path to show off to her. Therefore, she timed it perfectly and chose to meet her in this narrowest part of the road.

She demanded that Meng Zhanting and Song Yu'er make way for her.

Sensing Meng Zhanting's unwilling gaze, Song Siyao looked up and met his eyes. Meng Zhanting's eyes were filled with joy.

Song Siyao looked at him.

Song Siyao actually looked at him!

He immediately changed his expression, looking at Song Siyao with burning eyes.

Song Siyao's eyes instantly froze into ice, the ice crystals transforming into countless needles that all pierced towards him.

He was stabbed countless times, his body riddled with wounds, leaving him looking as pathetic as a defeated dog.

But he was unwilling to give up. If he could try again, he would still want to.

After all, the position of his legal wife is still vacant.

It's always best for a couple to be their original spouse. If they reconcile, it will surely become a timeless love story.

So, Meng Zhanting mustered his courage and shouted, "Song Siyao."

Song Yu'er heard the commotion outside from inside the bridal sedan chair. Then she felt the sedan chair stop. She wondered which important person they had met, and why they had to give way to such a person.

Today she is the bride, so it's inconvenient for her to lift her veil and look outside.

Just then, she heard Hongshao's voice.

Could it be that they are making way for Song Siyao?

How can it be?

Song Yu'er didn't care about anything else. She directly lifted the veil and looked outside through the curtain of the sedan chair.

Upon looking, they saw Meng Zhanting gazing at Song Siyao with infatuation.

She was instantly enraged and shouted, "What are you doing? Meng Zhanting, today is our wedding day, and this is how you treat me?"

After yelling at Meng Zhanting, she started cursing Song Siyao, "Song Siyao, you're shameless! You actually tried to steal Ting-ge away when I was getting married to him! Let me tell you, Ting-ge won't want you. Forget about it..."

Snapped!

Hearing someone insulting Song Siyao, the guards behind immediately stepped forward with their knives, struck the bridal sedan chair with their swords, interrupting Song Yu'er's words, and shouted, "How dare you insult Miss Song!"

"And who are you? Song Siyao seduced my husband..." Song Yu'er continued to curse.

The guards were furious. "We are imperial guards, sent by His Majesty to escort Miss Song. To insult Miss Song is a grave disrespect to His Majesty, a capital offense!"

Upon hearing this, Song Yu'er turned pale, her eyes filled with jealousy and terror.

She never expected that Song Siyao would be escorted by the imperial guards. How could Song Siyao be so lucky?

She took this path to show off to Song Siyao that she had married Song Siyao's ex-boyfriend and that she had won against Song Siyao.

Unexpectedly, she ran into Song Siyao.

She has almost no dowry now, and it's extremely embarrassing that Song Siyao saw her such a poor wedding.

She really tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead; she was filled with regret.

Meng Zhanting didn't want today's wedding to turn into a courtroom affair, so he quickly dismounted and stepped forward to apologize to the guards.

"Brother Guard, I apologize. My concubine is ignorant. Today is my wedding day. Please be lenient."

The guards showed no respect for Meng Zhanting. They were instructed by Emperor Changlong to protect Song Siyao, and no one was to give her any face if anyone tried to make things difficult for her.

"You don't need to apologize to me. We were ordered to protect Miss Song. Go apologize to Miss Song."

Meng Zhanting looked embarrassed and gave an awkward smile, "Okay, okay."

He turned his head and looked up at Song Siyao, the words of apology stuck in his throat like a fly, unable to be spat out or swallowed.

He desperately wished that Song Siyao would speak up at this moment and, out of consideration for their past as husband and wife, let him not have to apologize.

However, Song Siyao looked down at him with cold eyes, waiting for him to apologize.

"If you want to apologize, do it quickly; if you don't want to apologize, go to the yamen!" the guard urged.

Meng Zhanting immediately spoke up, "Miss Song, I'm sorry, it was Yu'er who offended you. Please don't hold it against her, you are a magnanimous person."

"Keep your people in check. I'm in a good mood today, but I might not be so lucky next time," Song Siyao said coldly.

"Okay, don't worry, I will definitely teach her a lesson." Meng Zhanting was extremely humble.

"Let's go," Song Siyao said to the guard.

Today, Emperor Changlong specially elevated her status. It would be a loss to ruin her grand occasion for the sake of unimportant people.

"Yes, Miss Song." The guard retreated to the back.

Meng Zhanting leaned to the side, and the group continued forward.

As Song Siyao passed by Song Yu'er, she said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Aunt Song, the man you've set your sights on is as lowly and humble as a dog in front of me."

After she finished speaking, she gave a disdainful smile and continued riding her horse forward.

Upon hearing the word "aunt," Song Yu'er fainted on the spot from anger.

Meng Zhanting's gaze remained fixed on Song Siyao until she disappeared from his sight. He then looked away without glancing at the unconscious Song Yu'er and simply said, "Let's continue."
