There was a fine red belt at her waist, and a gem was embedded in the middle. The pleats of the dress flowed down to the ground like the moonlight, and it was more than three feet long. Her beautiful face was slightly covered with makeup, and her three thousand strands of hair were tied up high. The hair accessory made of red feathers was fixed, and the golden hair swayed slowly with her steps. A small feather was embellished on her forehead, just right, making her, who was not considered a very beautiful woman, look different.
Her current appearance was much better than the woman with the veil. At this moment, it was as if she was the main character in the main hall today.
Lan Yue's lips curled into a beautiful smile. It was impossible to tell what she was thinking. She slowed down her pace and took small steps. At this moment, she seemed to have become a person. She was dignified and generous. Even the aura on her body was incomparably noble.
It wasn't until she arrived in front of the three people sitting on the upper seats that she slowly knelt down."This concubine pays her respects to Imperial Father and Imperial Mother.”
"Stand up." A golden light flashed through the Retired Emperor's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. He sighed in his heart at the intelligence of the woman before him. Her current attire had clearly made the main character of today her own. Even if the wedding was the highlight of the day, it was likely that no one would pay too much attention to it.
After all, her robe was the only one in this world. It was just that she did not know where she found it. If this robe was worn by Shangguan Xinyi, it would definitely be more eye-catching than her.
"Yes, sir!" Lan Yue slowly responded before standing up and retreating to the side.
Her actions were intentional. According to etiquette, marriage was a double happiness. There could not be an odd number in everything, or else the meaning would be unknown. Therefore, from the common people to the emperor's marriage, everything had to be checked in detail before the marriage. Everything was displayed in even numbers. There must not be an odd number, even the invited guests.
If everything was prepared properly and there was nothing wrong, any couple who suddenly had an odd number on their wedding day would be said to be happy and not suitable for marriage. Or it could be said that the fate of these two people was not good. After marriage, there would be an ominous time. The most common saying was that the woman who was about to be married would destroy her husband! Even if this marriage was successful, this woman would definitely not be valued by her husband's family in the future.
Even on the day of her wedding, she was extremely cautious. Even when the Emperor personally presided over her and Xie Yunchen's wedding, there was also a consort from the palace accompanying her in the dark. It was all for the sake of an even number.
At this moment, there were three people sitting on the main seat. Lan Yue had long been counted as the fourth person before the wedding, which was an even number. Although it was inappropriate for her to sit on the main seat when her husband was getting married as the main consort, it was no longer important to whether it was auspicious or not. As long as Xie Yunchen avoided Lan Yue during the wedding, it would be fine.
However, at this moment, Lan Yue had retreated to the side. Clearly, this even number had the meaning of becoming an odd number. Her actions were very polite, and no one could find anything wrong with it. After all, Lan Yue was a junior. After greeting, she should step aside. This was the most basic etiquette of a junior.
At this moment, Lan Yue wanted to see Xie Yunchen suffer. She had never made a mistake. When her husband was getting married, she had to dress more festive to show that she was not a jealous woman. It was not her fault if she was too festive and overshadowed the woman. It could only be said that her husband was not prepared enough. As for retreating to the side, she also wanted to see Xie Yunchen make a fool of himself. However, Xie Yunchen could not say a word against her. Even if he was angry, he could only vent his anger on himself!
Just as Lan Yue was secretly feeling smug, the fairy-like Empress Dowager sitting on the throne spoke up to ease the situation."Why is Lan girl so distant? She actually retreated to the side. Come over and let mother take a good look!”
Lan Yue was a little unwilling to accept the empress dowager's call, but she did not dare to show it. She could only walk over respectfully and stand obediently beside the empress dowager. The empress dowager reached out and pressed her down on a chair at the side.
She had already thought that the Empress Dowager would call her over when she left. However, she did not expect the Empress Dowager to speak so quickly. It was so fast that she did not even see the change on Xie Yunchen's face.
Lan Yu didn't know that the empress dowager was slow to speak. After all, she had asked Lan Yue to retreat to the side for a moment. If the empress dowager wanted to call her back quickly, she would have called her to her side when she had the intention to retreat. She wouldn't have shocked everyone like this!
The reason why Lan Yue did not see any change in Xie Yunchen's expression was that he did not want others to see through his thoughts. After all, he was already used to being indifferent, so it was reasonable for his expression to not change.
At this moment, only Xie Yunchen himself knew how much he wanted to punish this woman. It was not for anything else, but to teach Zhang Xuan a lesson and let her know the consequences of embarrassing him in front of everyone.
Just as Lan Yue sat down, she heard someone beside her shout,"The auspicious time has arrived. The newlyweds bow to heaven and earth. First, they bow to heaven and earth, and heaven and earth will bless them. Second, they bow to the high hall, and their descendants will be full.”
However, the two of them had already finished paying their respects. This made Lan Yue, who was sitting in the upper seat, extremely stunned. She subconsciously opened her mouth and said,"This…isn't this a little too fast?”She hadn't even done anything and the two of them had already finished paying their respects? Then wouldn't the things she had set up be worthless and wasted like this?？？
When Lan Yue said that, Xie Yunchen shot a warning look at her, causing Lan Yue to shrink her neck subconsciously.
Xie Yunchen had already instructed the others before the wedding that everything was simplified and that they only needed to perform the wedding ceremony immediately. The reason why he was so cautious was because of Lan Yue. When he heard what Lan Yue said, he knew that she still had a trick up her sleeve, so he gave her a warning look.
Just as she was shrinking her neck, the empress dowager suddenly said,""She's just a concubine. It's fine if she pays her respects. Where did those rules come from?”Shangguan Xinyi's words were very casual, but everyone here knew that she was supporting Lan Yue.
Although Lan Yue did not speak very loudly just now, there must have been many people who heard it. That was why Shangguan Xinyi continued Lan Yue's words.
Firstly, it was to help Lan Yue. Secondly, it was to secretly encourage Lan Yue's actions today. Thirdly, it was to intimidate those who had intentions.
When the Empress Dowager said these words, Yan Ning, whose soul had been absorbed by Xie Yunchen, could not help but tremble. It was as if he had been struck by a blow, but Xie Yunchen saw everything. He did not even miss the frown on the Fourth Prince's face.
Soon, Xie Yunchen and Yan Ning were helped away by the people beside them.
According to normal etiquette, the groom should accompany the guests and let the guests send their blessings to the groom. However, the etiquette at this moment was different from usual. The reason was that Xie Yunchen did not marry the main consort, but a concubine. Therefore, the guests drank a cup of wedding wine and then left.
Today's wedding ceremony was an accident within an accident. Since ancient times, concubines had been carried into the residence through the side door. It was not as grand as marrying the main wife. Not to mention entering through the main door, even the wedding ceremony was impossible. Moreover, this concubine had the Emperor's imperial edict. This was the first time in history!
Lan Yue saw Xie Yun Chen and the woman being helped away. She casually catered to them for a while before quietly following them. The Empress Dowager seemed to know her intentions but did not stop her. Instead, she whispered in her ear and told her to disrupt the situation. This made Lan Yue extremely stunned.
After Lan Yue left, she did not go to look for Xie Yunchen. Instead, she returned to her residence and took off her feather coat. She changed into a plain white robe. This robe did not look inappropriate at first glance, but if one looked closely, they would realize that this robe was very similar to the mourning clothes!
The corners of her lips curled up into a smile. She did not seem to be upset that Xie Yunchen had gone to call out to the woman called Yan Ning. Instead, she was somewhat happy.
Lan Yue slowly walked to the dressing table and took off the hair accessory on her hair bun. She placed it on the dressing table. The moment Lan Yue placed the hair accessory on the dressing table, her three thousand strands of hair flowed down like water. Her long hair reached her waist and was very smooth. Under the refraction of the sunlight, it even shone brightly.
She looked at her reflection in the bronze mirror and picked up the rouge powder to dress herself up. She wanted to prepare for her second plan. Since she couldn't stop Xie Yunchen from marrying that woman, she would make Xie Yunchen unable to live in peace! It would be best if she could make Xie Yunchen so angry that he would divorce her in a fit of anger!
Just as Lan Yue was making the necessary preparations in her own residence, the new house was a completely different scene.
Perhaps it was because of Xie Yunchen, Yan Ning sat on the bed and twirled her fingers, looking very uneasy.
Xie Yunchen looked at Yan Ning and a mocking look flashed across his eyes. At this moment, he was thinking about how this woman would feel if she remembered his actions when she was awake!
He slowly walked to Yan Ning. He had never been a good person and he had never intended to let this woman go. He would not be lenient to her, unlike how he treated Lan Yue.
Although he did not like to force women, it did not mean that he would be merciful just because his enemy was a woman!
Xie Yunchen stretched out his hand and lifted the woman's wedding veil. After which, he lay on the bed and closed his eyes."Take off my clothes! Take the initiative. This king doesn't like passive women!”At this moment, his tone was a little cold. He was completely ordering this woman.
A blush flashed across the woman's face. She obediently took off Xie Yunchen's shoes and then took off her own shoes. After that, she put down the red curtain on the bed.
It was already late at night. Xie Yunchen was wearing a white inner robe, and it was unknown what he was thinking about. The women beside him were sleeping very soundly. If it wasn't for the fact that there were too many eyes in this residence, Xie Yunchen would have long left this place.
