Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Akahoshi thought about it and realized it might not be a bad idea.

When wealthy families get married, the wedding procession will scatter candies and cakes along the way to the people, receiving countless blessings.

Akahoshi, who doesn't usually like to show off, is going to make a big show of himself this time, so as not to disappoint Ayu's good intentions.

Two days ago, Zhao Qiyu and the Crown Prince personally came to propose marriage. Lin Feng made the decision and agreed to the marriage. From then on, the Lin family and the Yu Prince's family each started to decorate their residences.

Red ribbons, red lanterns, and red "double happiness" paper-cut window decorations were hung everywhere in Akahoshi's courtyard...

It had been almost half a month since he last saw Ayu, and Akahoshi was a little unhappy, yet he was also looking forward to the day when Ayu would come to pick him up.

And that day came soon after.

Without being called, Chixing got up early to wash up and change into her bright red wedding robe.

According to the procedures for a man's wedding, Akahoshi doesn't need to draw his eyebrows or put on makeup; he's already quite fair-skinned.

His current appearance is completely different from what Erzhu used to look like.

Even the people in the general's mansion didn't realize that this was the boy who used to sweep up fallen leaves.

Her hair was neatly combed, with a red ribbon cascading down her back along with her dark hair.

Lin Yu was astonished; this was the first time he had ever seen someone get married, especially a man.

Granny Xi smiled and said many nice things, and the servant next to Chixing gave her a big red envelope, a red money bag containing silver ingots.

The old woman who received the lucky money smiled even more, and her auspicious words flowed so smoothly that even Chixing didn't hear a single one repeated.

Outside the door, the sounds of gongs and drums, accompanied by the suona horn, filled the air.

Lin Yu exclaimed in surprise, "Here he comes! The groom is here! What are we going to do next? Ahhh, what are we going to do?"

Lin Yu was in such a hurry that he forgot all the procedures he had planned.

Chuntao and Xiazhu quickly closed the door.

"Young Master, we're going to block the door."

Lin Yu patted his forehead: "Right, right, block the door, let me do it, let me do it."

Chun Tao moved aside, and Lin Yu stood obediently behind the door, waiting.

Chixing rarely dressed so formally, and upon hearing that Ayu had arrived, he immediately sat up straight and looked toward the door.

As the money for good fortune was distributed, Zhao Qiyu, dressed in the same red robe as Chi Xing, walked over, followed by several young masters from the Prime Minister's residence, as well as Zhao Qiyan, who had been placed there by the Crown Prince.

Zhao Qiyu didn't dislike Zhao Qiyan. The two were about the same age and had played together when they were young. However, after the Consort Shu and the Empress had a falling out, the two children stopped seeing each other.

Looking at the festively decorated courtyard, with red double happiness symbols pasted on Chixing's door, Lin Yu peeked out from behind the door, revealing half of his face.

As the group approached, Lin Yu immediately closed the door.

The others egged him on and shouted for the door to open, so Lin Yu threw out the question he had prepared earlier.

First, they would compose poems; then, they would solve riddles; and finally, they would ask for red envelopes.

His Highness Prince Yu was very generous; he simply put it in a box filled with gold.

When Lin Yu saw Jin Cancan, his eyes lit up, and the hand that was blocking the door was now used to hold Jin Cancan.

Zhao Qiyu rushed in and saw Chi Xing smiling at him.

"Star, I'm here to pick you up."

Akahoshi nodded: "Yes, I want to go home with you."

The crowd cheered, and Zhao Qiyu wanted to carry Chixing, but Chixing disagreed, saying that the road was quite long and she couldn't let Ayu get tired.

So the two of them walked out together, holding the red ribbon in their hands.

The originally envisioned scene of bringing Akahoshi home in a grand sedan chair carried by sixteen men did not occur.

Chi Xing was a man, and marrying him was already a disservice to him, so Zhao Qiyu changed the wedding ceremony for him.

According to the rules that Zhao Qiyu himself changed, Chi Xing did not need to wear a red veil or ride in a sedan chair. The two of them each rode a tall horse and returned to the palace in great style.

They sat facing each other on horseback, walking side by side, with the wedding procession behind them, a hundred miles of red bridal bridal procession, led by an imperial decree personally issued by the Empress.

Only then did everyone realize that their marriage was arranged by the Empress. Those who had intended to gossip about it because it was a marriage between two men silently shut their mouths upon seeing this.

Who dares to object to the Empress's decree?

The dowry that followed astonished everyone. Even those who were not very knowledgeable knew that the chests full of gold and silver treasures and the boxes full of house deeds and land deeds were no less than what one would expect from a royal princess's wedding.

Some of these dowries came from the Lin family, but most of them were betrothal gifts that Zhao Qiyu sent that day.

The Lin family didn't take anything, and had Chi Xing take it all to the Prince's Mansion. Lin Yu also added a lot of things to the mansion.

If it weren't for the limited status of a subject, there might have been even more.

After making a grand tour around the capital, the people finally got a clear look at the rumored appearance of the Second Young Master of the Crimson Star.

Just as the rumors say, she and Prince Yu are a match made in heaven, a perfect couple in terms of talent and looks.

Chi Xing spotted Pei Ming and Bai Xu in the crowd, picked up some copper coins from the horse's back, and, whether intentionally or unintentionally, threw a handful of coins at the two of them.

She even smiled and said, "Thank you all for your blessings, congratulations to you all..."

When copper coins were thrown at Pei Ming's face, the people immediately scrambled to grab them, tearing his hair into a mess.

Bai Xu, who was standing next to him, was trampled on several times, and her hair was pulled so badly it looked like a bird's nest.

"He did it on purpose."

Bai Xu was furious, but the surrounding area was so lively that his voice was completely drowned out, and no one paid any attention to him.

Pei Ming held Bai Xu protectively in his arms, his heart filled with intense hatred.

It really is Akahoshi, it really is Akahoshi.

Zhao Qiyu is truly remarkable. Only a month after I broke off our engagement, he actually gave Chixing such a dazzling identity, an imperial decree from the Empress, and even had her paraded through the streets on horseback to marry him.

How could a man like Akahoshi be so shameless?

He simply couldn't understand why two men shouldn't keep their relationship a secret and never let it see the light of day.

Back then, only he could accept marrying Zhao Qiyu, but now...

Hearing the auspicious words from the surrounding people flowing out as if they were free, Pei Ming suspected that these were all shills deliberately hired by Zhao Qiyu.

But there were just too many people on the street. If Zhao Qiyu had that ability, Zhao Qizhen wouldn't be able to get the position of Crown Prince.

Pei Ming gritted his teeth, unwilling to admit that at this moment, he was actually somewhat unwilling.

If their engagement is not cancelled, he will be the one to immediately receive everyone's praise and blessings.

If we're talking about who's suffering the most, besides Pei Ming, it's Bai Xu.

He stared intently at Chixing's face, watching them walk forward, the dowry items passing by him one by one, seemingly without end.

Zhao Qiyu, he actually preferred to give all of this to a servant, a dog servant who sweeps fallen leaves, a person of low social status.

In less than a month, he transformed into a noble young master who grew up in Jiangnan, and also the young master of a general's mansion.

Bai Xu's eyes reddened with jealousy. Why? In what way was Chi Xing better than him? Why did everyone revolve around Chi Xing?

After all that scheming and plotting, all I got in return was the harassment from the Pei family.

Now, even Pei Ming occasionally blames him unconsciously.
