Chapter 269 is here after all
No matter how much Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi didn't want this day to come, it finally came.
Yongqi's expression was as ugly as if he had eaten a fly, and he looked like a walking corpse.
The bright red wedding dress looks awkward on him no matter how you look at it. It always makes people feel that he should change it into white to match his complexion.
Concubine Yu seemed to be in high spirits as she was enjoying the good news. Her complexion was rosy and radiant. No one could tell that she had had a near-death experience half a month ago.
It formed a sharp contrast with Yongqi's dead face.
While helping Yongqi tidy up his clothes, Concubine Yu whispered a warning: "You better smile happily later. If outsiders see you showing any reluctance, I will make sure you are punished by your mother."
Hearing this, Yongqi pulled up a smile that was uglier than crying.
Concubine Yu had no choice but to whisper, "Three days. After you return home in three days, mother will agree to let you marry Xiaoyanzi."
For Xiaoyanzi, Yongqi could only put on a "sincere" smile and go to welcome the bride.
Watching Yongqi's wedding procession leave, Concubine Yu almost fell down.
Cai Lian stepped forward to support Concubine Yu, a little worried, "Your Majesty, can you still hold on?"
Concubine Yu used Cailian's hand to stand up straight, straightened her clothes, and smiled. "Of course, I have been looking forward to this day for most of my life. From now on, when you are at my mansion, I won't be able to control you too much. You are my eyes. Remember, don't let Yongqi make trouble again."
As long as Yongqi is willing to be obedient and focus on his work in the future, the emperor will not be so heartless. Even if he does not achieve anything great in the future, it will not be too bad at all.
At least Xinrong and Guanbao will not ignore Yongqi, so there is still hope for her Yongqi.
Yongqi was different from other princes. Others were crowned kings and established their own palaces after they came of age, but Yongqi was driven out as a bald prince.
Even the bride could not be brought back to Yonghe Palace, and the wedding ceremony could only be held in that poor little house.
With Yongqi's departure, the gate of Yonghe Palace will be completely closed.
Concubine Yu had already said all the necessary instructions. She smiled and patted Cailian, "Go, live a good life with Yongqi."
Cai Lian smiled bitterly. How could she live a good life following a despised prince who was also in love?
However, compared to staying in the Yonghe Palace, leaving the palace was already a good way out. Cai Lian bid farewell to Concubine Yu and caught up with the wedding procession.
The prince's wedding was naturally known to the whole country.
Thanks to Xiaoyanzi, the Fifth Prince's messy private affairs became even more famous.
On the distant Mount Wutai, three or two nuns gathered together to discuss this gossip.
"Yes, when the nobles come to worship Buddha in the autumn, maybe we can see the new wife."
When Ziwei, who was sweeping the floor nearby, heard this, she quietly stopped what she was doing and slowly approached the group of people, trying to understand.
"I heard that the old Buddha dotes on this new wife very much and will definitely bring her along."
"Is he more favored than the two princesses who came with him before?"
"I don't know about that, but I heard that she also grew up under the care of the old lady."
"Then why did she marry the Fifth Prince when she was so favored?"
"Who knew the Fifth Prince would be like this? Wasn't he fine before?"
"Yes, isn't the Fifth Prince the son of Concubine Yu? We've heard her praise the Fifth Prince many times, so he's obviously a very good person."
Ziwei listened to what everyone said and keenly grasped the key words: in the end, it was Xinrong who married the Fifth Prince.
She knew Xiaoyanzi was not good enough.
Thinking of this, Ziwei burst into laughter.
The group of nuns were startled by Ziwei's sudden laughter. Seeing that this fool Ziwei was going crazy again, one of them stepped forward and twisted her ear, "Why are you laughing when you're not sweeping the floor properly? You dare to be lazy? You can't eat until you finish sweeping!"
If it were any other time, Ziwei would have acted pitiful and cried out in pain begging for mercy.
After all, these bad girls have been doing rough labor all year round, and they are all strong and powerful, more than ten times more cruel than Rong Mama.
When they found out that she was sent here because she made a mistake, they bullied her even more. After so long, Ziwei had learned her lesson.
But Ziwei was so happy today, she felt so happy that the pain in her body didn't matter at all.
She was still laughing, "Hahahaha Xiaoyanzi, you still can't be the Fifth Prince's wife after all."
Ziwei was quite relieved that her former sisters were also living a miserable life.
Seeing that Ziwei was still going crazy, another nun stepped forward and slapped Ziwei.
"Are you crazy? What are you yelling about? Get back to work!"
This is the area they are responsible for. What if Ziwei doesn't do a good job and gets them scolded by the abbot?
Ziwei was happy today and spoke without her usual reservations.
"You're just trying to show off your power to me. What did you just say? Noble Lady Qiu Ri will come to pay homage to the Buddha? Then my grandmother, the Empress Dowager, will definitely come. Then I'll show her how you bully me! I'll make you die to atone for your sins!"
Seeing that Ziwei was still dreaming, the nuns all laughed.
"Are you still dreaming? Do you think the royal family will recognize you after you've been dumped here?"
Ziwei stiffened her neck, "Why not? No matter what, I'm a princess of the royal family, with royal blood. How can you compare to me?"
The leading nun hated hearing Ziwei say these things the most. When Ziwei first came, she was often punished by them because of her stubbornness.
I finally learned my lesson these days, but after I gave her a little face, she forgot who she was again.
She lost her patience and pushed Ziwei down. "Whether you compete or not, weren't you also thrown into this desolate mountain to be trampled by us?"
The others immediately echoed, "Exactly. You really think you're a princess, but you're even worse than the lowest servant."
Ziwei wanted to say something, but the nun spat at her.
"I'll tell you the truth. We've been ordered to keep a close eye on you, just in case you run away and do something despicable again."
"You are a woman who has made mistakes. You come to us and we think you are tarnishing the tranquility of Buddhism!"
"I advise you not to go crazy. You're just a bastard who's not recognized by His Majesty, and you're still dreaming of being a princess?"
"Why don't you just work honestly? If you're any good, we'll give you something to eat."
After cursing for a few times, the nun was still not satisfied, so she kicked her hard and turned away.
"It's unlucky to even talk to this dirty thing. Come on, come on, she dare not not clean up. If she doesn't clean up well, she will have a lot of bad consequences."
These people have completely controlled Ziwei. Ziwei wanted to use some tricks at first, but in the end she was either beaten or punished. In short, she always suffered losses.
This nunnery has become completely rotten, with its leaders and subordinates following suit.
It's not that she hadn't thought about dying and ending it all, but she was always unwilling to accept it. She was unwilling to accept that after working so hard for so long, this was the end.
She hates it so much.
