Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage

86-87

Chapter 86: Bloodbath

After the wedding sedan went through more than half of the capital, it finally went into Prince Yu of the First Rank's residence.

There were already a number of guests that had arrived at Prince Yu residence. Although Prince Yu was considered fierce and cruel normally, ministers and officials would still attend as he was after all one from the Imperial family. Emperor Wen Hui and the Princes had yet to arrive but gifts were already sent from the Palace.

Probably because these days Emperor Wen Hui's attitude made Prince Yu unhappy, when the people from the Palace came over, he did not show any moves and action to let the other person give thanks or to drink a cup of wedding wine. When the GongGong from the Palace saw such a scene, he coldly scoffed in his heart. Perhaps to other people they were only worthless castrated people, but in fact they were the people who were the closest to the Emperor. There must be problems between Emperor Wen Hui and Prince Yu, Prince Yu still carried on as usual but Emperor Wen Hui was no longer as tolerant as before. The actions Prince Yu did today would only make Emperor Wen Hui angrier.

When the people from the Palace left, Prince Yu then turned his head to instruct the servants to continue to welcome the guests. Today Prince Yu of the First Rank wore bright red wedding robes, and that fabric and embroidery was undoubtedly very intricate but when worn on his body, one side of the pants was empty which made it look awkward. Moreover he had a fierce look but had to fill his face with smiles, even though no one knew who he was smiling for but when one saw him smile, a layer of goosebumps would form.

The Shen family also arrived. Shen Gui and Shen Wan had long gone to look for their familiar colleagues for a chat. Shen Gui currently was now fixing a broken pot and since everyone was aware of Shen Qing's scandal, they took advantage of Shen Qing being married into Prince Yu residence and use the relationship with Prince Yu to pave some way for their career. As for Shen Wan, even without mentioning, since he was the more ambitious of the two, naturally he would not miss this opportunity.

Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan sat together at the bride side of the family and they looked down upon Shen Gui's attitude. It was Ren Wan Yun who came over and sat with Shen Yuan at the side. She had carefully done her makeup that covered up her red eyes, and was afraid of angering Prince Yu so she forced herself to smile but no matter how one look at, that smile had anger in it. Shen Yuan did not have any expression but the looks that he gave when his eyes swept by Shen Miao were filled with meanings.

Shen Qiu noticed Shen Yuan's gaze and often blocked it in a huff. When Luo Xue Yan found out, she thoughtfully asked, "Dumb boy, what with you and Shen Yuan?"

Shen Xin couple was not aware of Shen Qing's and Shen Miao's grudge so Shen Qiu responded vaguely, "He is not pleasing to the eye thus there is a little friction."

"You are really good." Luo Xue Yan glared at him, "To hit a person without martial arts. Shen Qiu, how old are you this year?"

Shen Qiu looked towards Shen Miao for help but Shen Miao only feigned ignorance and did not speak as she looked at her tea cup.

The guests complimented each other and from the looks of it, it was a scene of peacefulness. In a blink of an eye, it was time for the wedding ceremony of Shen Qing and Prince Yu.

Shen Qing's head was covered as she was supported by her maids Chun Tao and Xue Li. After finishing bowing to the heavens and the ancestors, Shen Gui's expression was very awkward. Prince Yu's eyes were laughing as he looked at him, as it was a terrifying matter letting Prince Yu bow to them husband and wife.

Sure enough the steward of Prince Yu residence haughtily said, "His Highness the Prince of First Rank is feeling inconvenienced so this ceremony would be excused."
