Beijing, morning!
At this moment, the sky was just beginning to brighten. The inner city was awakened by the lively sounds of gongs and drums beating, playing and shouting.
The streets had been cleared a day in advance. At this moment, there was nothing but the expensive red carpet.
Something big was about to happen in Beijing!
Emperor Taining's most beloved Eldest Princess was going to marry the Prince Consort today.
For this, the emperor granted amnesty to the world and celebrated.
All the people living in the inner city quietly opened their doors and windows, wanting to see the grand wedding of the royal family.
"Time really flies. In the blink of an eye, the Eldest Princess is about to marry.”
"This Eldest Princess of our Great Sheng is not only talented, but she is also quite talented in cultivation.
Most importantly, those who were lucky enough to meet the Eldest Princess said that her beauty could topple a country, like a fairy descending to the mortal world!”
"I can't understand. The Eldest Princess is so noble, but she married a poor scholar.”
Poor scholar!
At the mention of this, the commoners could not help but sigh.
"Isn't that so? The Emperor loves the Eldest Princess so much, how could he bear to let her marry a scholar who doesn't even have a title?”
They were puzzled.
Originally, the commoners thought that the Eldest Princess, who was deeply loved by the Emperor, would marry the Crown Prince of a neighboring country, or the heir of a king with a different surname. At the very least, she would marry some scholar.
She never expected that in the end, she would only marry an unknown poor scholar!
"That kid is simply blessed by his ancestors for eight lifetimes!”
It wasn't just the commoners. Many of the children of the nobles and officials were crying with envy and jealousy.
Whoever married the Eldest Princess, who was the Emperor's favorite, wouldn't that mean that they would be able to rise up in the court in the future?
Many people would not even dare to dream of it, but now, it had fallen on a poor scholar.
"Do any of you know why His Majesty is doing this?”
"I've heard a rumor. It is said that the Emperor died among the people…"
Just as everyone was discussing, a bridal guard of honor that numbered more than a thousand people appeared in their field of vision.
The eight golden nanmu palanquins were engraved with a majestic pattern that could only be used by the royal family.
Horses opened up the way, and the eunuchs of the ceremonial supervisor kept shouting on both sides as they walked in the east direction. It was bustling and the scene was huge.
According to the procedure, they would first go find the Fuma, and then the Fuma would lead everyone into the palace to marry the Eldest Princess.
Fifteen minutes later, the guards of honor stopped in front of a magnificent mansion.
"Xiyue Manor!"
This was a mansion specially built for the Eldest Princess. It was the most luxurious among all the princesses.
Even the officials from the Ministry of Rites who were in the procession were all amazed by the fortune of the Prince Consort.
The Head Eunuch came to the door, his voice resounding.
"The auspicious time has arrived. Fuma, please go to the palace to welcome the bride!”
His tone was very respectful and his face was full of smiles, hoping to leave a good impression on this future prince consort.
However, there was no movement from inside.
"The auspicious time has arrived. Fuma, please go to the palace to welcome the bride!”
the eunuch said again.
"Creak-"
The heavy mahogany door of the mansion slowly opened, but the person who walked out was not the Fuma, but a servant.
"Why hasn't the Fuma come out yet?"
"What should we do if we delay the auspicious time?" the eunuch asked anxiously.”
"Eunuch…"
"Since last night, Fuma has locked himself in his room and refused to come out no matter what," the servant said nervously.”
The eunuch frowned slightly.”
As the two of them were talking, a commotion suddenly came from the depths of the mansion. It was as if someone was pulling and smashing things.
Then, the servant shouted,"Not good, not good!"
Fuma is crazy, crazy!"
A young man in disheveled clothes rushed out of the room, ignoring the obstruction.
Under his unkempt hair was a handsome face.
However, at this moment, the man's expression was lifeless. He was still mumbling something as if he had gone crazy.
"I want to become a monk…I want to become a monk!”
Become a monk?
When everyone heard this, they were stunned.
On a joyous day, he was clamoring to become a monk. Was he crazy?
The old eunuch came back to his senses and ran to the struggling Fuma. He whispered,""Fuma, what are you doing?
The auspicious time had arrived. He could not delay it!”
The royal wedding was a major event that concerned the royal family's reputation. If anything were to happen, they would not be able to bear the consequences.
However, Fuma Li Xiushan seemed to not have heard him and kept repeating that sentence.
"I want to become a monk!"
Everyone was stunned.
This poor scholar was about to become the emperor's son-in-law. Why was he talking nonsense at this time?
Could it be that he was like Fan Jin, too happy and his brain was damaged?
"Eunuch."
The people from the Ministry of Rites looked at the sky and said anxiously,""What should we do now?"
The old eunuch had been in office for many years and had seen many storms, so he immediately adapted to the situation.
"You guys take good care of the Prince Consort first. I will return to the palace to report the situation and let His Majesty make a decision.
Remember, you must keep an eye on the prince consort. This matter is not to be spread!”
If outsiders were to see the Fuma's crazy appearance, it would damage the dignity of the royal family.
Seven or eight servants stepped forward, wanting to forcefully hold the Fuma down.
However, Li Xiushan, who was supposed to be a weak scholar, was as strong as an ox for some reason. He actually directly threw the servant away and then rushed out!
"Hurry up! Stop the Fuma!"
The old eunuch turned pale with fright.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Li Xiushan came to the street in a frenzy and shouted.
"I want to become a monk-"
This voice resounded throughout the capital.
"Kacha-"
At the same time, a deafening thunder flashed across the sky!
Golden auspicious clouds condensed above the capital city. One could vaguely hear the sound of dragon roars!
In an instant,
The sudden phenomenon lasted for a full fifteen minutes before disappearing.
Everyone in the capital was flabbergasted.
After a long while, the old eunuch came back to his senses and slapped his thigh.
"Oh no, the Fuma is missing!"
Looking at the streets, where was the shadow of the Prince Consort?
He had taken advantage of the strange phenomenon just now to run away.
The next day, a piece of news shook the capital.
On the day of his marriage with the Eldest Princess, the Fuma suddenly became a lunatic, shouting 'I want to become a monk' and then disappeared without a trace.
The Emperor was furious.
——
Qinshui Hall
At the Eldest Princess 'residence.
According to the rules of the imperial family, the princess would live in the palace before she got married and was named after the palace.
Today, the Qin Water Hall had changed its usual elegant style. It was decorated with lanterns and streamers, and it was filled with joy.
Everything was ready. They were just waiting for the lucky prince consort to complete the process and marry the Eldest Princess.
In the boudoir.
The woman was dressed in a fiery red robe made of top-grade cloud brocade silk, embroidered with a lifelike phoenix-headed lark. Her long skirt was held in the hands of two maids, and she wore a phoenix crown with tassels on her head. She looked noble and graceful.
However, there was no joy or shyness on her flawless white face. Instead, her clear eyes were as calm as water.
Therefore, even though she was wearing a fiery red wedding dress, she still had a cold temperament, like a fairy who didn't belong to the mortal world.
"Your Highness is truly beautiful."
A maid praised from the bottom of her heart,""It's not an exaggeration to say that she's the number one beauty in Great Sheng.”
"Yes, I am."
"I really didn't expect that His Highness would only marry a poor scholar in the end." Another maid echoed.
I wonder what His Majesty is thinking…"
She suddenly realized that she had said something wrong. She knelt on the ground and slapped herself.
"This servant deserves to die, this servant deserves to die."
No matter what, the matters of the royal family were not something a maid like her had the right to discuss.
However, Princess Xiyue didn't seem to be angry.
She only slightly raised her white and sharp chin and looked out the window. Her voice was as clear and pleasant as the collision of jade."What time is it?"
Counting the time, the Fuma should have finished the complicated process and come to the Qin Water Hall to pick her up, but now, he was nowhere to be seen.
Xiyue had only seen this Prince Consort twice. Although she didn't hate him, she didn't have any good feelings for him.
It wasn't that she had high standards, but as a princess, she shouldn't marry a scholar who didn't even have any achievements.
However, since it was her father's arrangement, she could only obey and had nothing to say.
"Your Highness, something happened!"
Suddenly, a maidservant stumbled in."The Fuma…has become a monk…"
"What?"
Xiyue's calm eyes seemed to have been smashed into a huge rock.
