Chapter 175 The Wedding Day…
"Have you ever seen fairies in the sky?"
Hearing Ling Lanhua's voice, Lan Zhi felt an inexplicable dislike. A Qi also disliked her, so before Lan Zhi could even speak, he directly retorted disdainfully.
Ling Lanhua pouted at A Qi and awkwardly leaned closer.
"My eldest sister is like a fairy from heaven. Seeing her is just like seeing a fairy."
"What a flatterer."
Ah Qi muttered something, and Ling Lanhua immediately glared at her unhappily.
"How can you talk like that, girl? I'm your master's sister, can't you show me some respect?"
Ah Qi also replied without any hesitation:
"That's really true. When you're poor, no one cares about you on the street, but when you're rich, even distant relatives come calling! Why didn't you say she was your sister before?"
"you……"
"Shut up, everyone."
Just as Ling Lanhua was about to yell at A Qi, Lan Zhi's displeased voice came from behind her.
"It's so annoying to be making noise so early in the morning. Didn't I tell you to stay in your room and not come out?"
Seeing the displeasure in Lan Zhi's voice, she quickly stopped talking, leaned forward, and said in a fawning tone:
"Elder sister, today is your wedding day. You know our family's situation; we're struggling to even have enough to eat, and we haven't been able to prepare any dowry for you..."
As she spoke, she took out a rather simple-looking silver hairpin from her bosom.
“This is the dowry my mother gave me when she married my father. She has always treasured it like a precious gem. When I came yesterday, she asked me to give it to you as part of your dowry.”
Looking at the unassuming silver hairpin, Lan Zhi wanted to laugh, but out of politeness, she held it in.
"Orchid, this is your mother's dowry, how can I accept it? I appreciate the sentiment, but you can keep it for your own wedding!"
"But this is just a small token of my mother's affection!"
“I already said I appreciate your kind offer, and you've seen it yourself. I have plenty of jewelry here, and I don't have enough extra jewelry boxes to put them in. Besides, they are your mother's dowry, how could I possibly accept them? Take them back!”
"But this is a gift from your mother..."
"That's your mother, not mine..."
"But……"
Ling Lanhua wanted to say something more, but A Qi simply told her:
“Such fine antique items are only suitable for you. Our Crown Princess doesn’t have the temperament to use them.”
"you……"
Ling Lanhua was once again rendered speechless by A Qi's retort, but she dared not say anything more, fearing that Lan Zhi would get angry and order her to be locked up.
She could only tuck the silver hairpin into her sleeve. "Elder sister, it's your wedding day today. Is there anything I, as your younger sister, can do to help?"
Before she could answer, Ah Qi said disdainfully again:
"There are so many servants in the manor, I dare not trouble you. You should stay in your room!"
"Why are you everywhere? No matter what, the Crown Princess is still my elder sister. She said it doesn't matter if you're not around, so who are you to talk to me like that? Who do you think you are?"
"I'm the Crown Princess's personal maid. Who do you think I am? If you want to stay in the Crown Prince's residence, keep your mouth shut, or go back to your inn."
Ah Qi knew that Lan Zhi disliked Ling Lan Hua, which is why he didn't hold back in confronting her.
"You're such an arrogant girl, big sister, you need to discipline her..."
"Mind your own business!"
"Alright, all this arguing so early in the morning is so annoying. Orchid, go back to your room."
"Miss..."
"go back."
Seeing the impatience in Lan Zhi's tone, Lan Hua glared at A Qi resentfully, stomped her foot heavily, and turned to leave.
Ah Qi nudged her back as she walked away.
"Miss, should we lock her up?"
"No need. Lock her up today. Who knows what she'll say about me later? I'll have my older brother tell her to keep quiet and not cause any trouble."
"Today is your wedding day, and all the guests are important people. Does she dare to cause trouble today? She'd be asking for trouble."
Lan Zhi also felt that she had gone to great lengths to come to the Crown Prince's residence just to join in the fun. On this important day, she should try not to provoke her, lest she go out and spread rumors.
Today, the capital city is adorned with ten miles of red bridal processions, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.
The Crown Prince's residence was adorned with festive red ribbons, and people came in droves to attend the wedding banquet.
Just as Lan Zhi finished preparing, a maid called from outside:
"Please invite the bride to leave and get into the bridal sedan chair."
Today's bridal sedan chair was a large sedan chair carried by eight people specially prepared by Wei Jianning. After Aqi covered her head with a red veil, Lanzhi, supported by Aqi and Xiangxiu, slowly stepped out of the house and onto the sedan chair that was specially prepared for her.
Since Lan Zhi already lived in the Crown Prince's residence, after discussions between Wei Jianning and the Ministry of Rites, it was decided that her bridal sedan chair would exit through the back gate, circle the main street of the capital, and then enter through the front gate, in order to inform the entire capital that from today onwards, the Crown Prince's residence had an official Crown Princess.
Sitting in the bridal sedan chair, Lan Zhi felt an indescribable excitement, as well as a touch of emotion.
In the less than a year since she transmigrated here, she and Wei Jianning have been through so much together, and now they have finally tied the knot, which makes her genuinely happy.
But this also means that from the moment she assumes the position of Crown Princess, even more troubles will follow...
"Be careful…"
A sudden commotion arose outside. Lan Zhi frowned slightly, pulled off her veil, and peeked out from behind the sedan chair curtain. She saw the guards fighting with several men in black. When A Qi saw her peeking out, he anxiously reminded her:
"Miss, you can't lift your veil, go back quickly."
"What happened?"
"There are assassins, but they don't seem to be very skilled. Nie Yuan and his team can handle them, so don't worry."
On the wedding day, an assassin came to stop the bridal sedan chair?
This is clearly an attempt to upset her on purpose.
She angrily lowered the sedan curtain and called out softly:
"Xiao Xin, today is my wedding day. Make an exception and mind your own business. Don't let me see these people."
"Yes, Master."
Xiao Xin's eyes lit up a few times, forming an invisible barrier around the bridal sedan chair. Then, she quickly helped the guards knock the men in black to the ground.
Nie Yuan and the others were stunned for a moment when they saw the man in black suddenly lying on the ground. At this moment, one of the leaders roared angrily.
"What a bunch of useless trash, let's get out of here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the men in black who were lying on the ground hurriedly got up and ran away. Nie Yuan, still shaken, called to the wedding procession to continue on their way.
After everything returned to normal, Xiaoxin couldn't wait to come back and boast about her success.
"Master, all those who were blocking your marriage have been dealt with. However, Xiaoxin is a doctor and cannot interfere too much in human affairs. We were forced to stop operating just now because of managing matters beyond our scope of work. Please do not call Xiaoxin out for the next three days. Please understand."
"Three days? You've done things for me before, is it really necessary to go on strike for three days?"
