183 Marrying Off a Daughter and Getting a Daughter-In-Law
It was not the first time the crown prince had heard such words, but every time he heard it, he would feel a sense of disharmony.
“Your son will work hard.” The crown prince looked at everything on the horizon, and his heart was filled with shock.
“Do you know why Zhao Panpan suddenly wants to become my consort?” The emperor dismissed the other officials and suddenly spoke while looking at the crown prince’s side profile.
The crown prince did not say anything.
“Zhao Panpan is not suitable for you. I’ve asked the imperial astronomer and the imperial preceptor to read the fortune. If you two were to marry, I’m afraid the heavens would be furious. Moreover, it was Zhao Panpan who personally came to find me, saying that she wanted to enter the palace and become a consort. Otherwise, do you think father would do something like stealing his son’s sweetheart?” The emperor chuckled, his body exuding a refined aura.
The crown prince pursed his lips and looked into the distance without saying anything. The emperor left after saying these few words. The crown prince stood on the high wall for a while before walking towards the Zhao residence.
The entrance of the Zhao residence was bustling with people as if everyone wanted to get a share of their good fortune. The closer they got, the more they could feel the shock of the strange phenomenon that fell from the sky. They even felt like the heavens were watching them all the time as if the gods were three feet above them! Outside the Zhao residence, there was a group of people kneeling on the ground, just like in the scene when the crown prince was born.
“I heard that Miss Zhao Panpan is also going out today to become the Pure Consort in the palace,” some people whispered. Although Zhao Panpan could not wear a wedding dress like an ordinary person and enter the palace, her future would not be any worse than the empress’. By now, the news had already spread in Jing City that Zhao Panpan was a person of great fortune.
“Hey, hey, hey, General Zhao’s wife’s carriage is about to leave the house. Will these two meet on the road? One married out from the Zhao family, and the other married into the Zhao family. Today, the Zhao family is really blessed with double happiness.” The people outside the door started to discuss among themselves. Many of them even felt that Jiang Xi had taken advantage of Zhao Panpan.
When the crown prince came over, he happened to hear these people’s discussions. A round-faced little girl with a rainbow-colored feather hanging on her waist appeared in his mind.
Jiang Shan personally carried Jiang Xi onto the wedding carriage. When Jiang Xi and Zhao Ruifeng bid farewell to Yang Fen and Jiang Guoyou, Yang Fen was busy moving out to live there. However, Jiang Guoyou pulled Zhao Ruifeng aside and said, “Son-in-law, don’t anger my daughter. We can’t stop her if she gets angry. You two should live well together. No matter what happens, don’t fight Jiang Xi. You probably can’t beat her.” Jiang Guoyou reminded Zhao Ruifeng sincerely. Jiang Xi’s engagement had been called off three times. No matter how stupid Jiang Guoyou was, he could see that his daughter was a little abnormal.
Zhao Ruifeng’s mouth trembled. “Father-in-law, it’s a bit scary to say that.”
“Don’t worry, father-in-law. I will take good care of Jiang Xi and not let her suffer.” Zhao Ruifeng promised again and again. Then, under Jiang Guoyou’s worried gaze, he took Jiang Xi out of the door.
When Jiang Shan carried Jiang Xi into the wedding carriage, he even said secretly, “Sister, although you’ve been eating a lot recently, you’re not heavy. You don’t need all your brothers to carry you. I can carry you by myself.” Obviously, he was explaining that Jiang Xi had gained weight and that he could not carry him.
Lying on Jiang Shan’s back, Jiang Xi laughed as she nibbled on an apple under the red veil. How could her third brother be so cute?
There were not many people on the street when Jiang Xi went out. Most of the people were rushing toward the Zhao residence. It was said that many soldiers were sent to protect them. It was likely that chaos and trampling would occur.
After Jiang Xi got into the wedding carriage, Zhao Ruifeng also got on his horse. He cupped his hands at Jiang Shan, and the dowry followed the line. They came out of the Jiang residence one after another, and even after the one at the front had walked several streets, there was still a long line of dowry that had not been carried out from the Jiang residence.
During the wedding procession toward the Zhao residence, beating gongs and drums sounded. The further they went, the denser the crowd became. Everyone seemed to remember that the Zhao family was going to marry a new wife today.
“Eh? Didn’t they say that General Zhao married a peasant woman? Why are there so many boxes of dowry?” Some of the more attentive people counted the dowry and found that there were more than a hundred boxes! This was too shocking!
Only then did everyone notice that Zhao Ruifeng’s newly married wife was actually so capable! This much dowry was not something that an ordinary person could afford.
