Wei An's hands were always icy cold, even in the hot summer. Old doctor Kong examined her and said it was because of lack of blood in her heart. She felt that life was very difficult every winter, but when Shen Chen held her hand, she suddenly felt warm from her fingertips.
Although Shen Chen practiced martial arts, his hands were the same shape as his body. Although they were both thin, they were not as rough as those burly men. Wei An was held firmly by his hand and led down from the sedan chair. He saw the red carpet on the ground at a glance.
Shen Chen then let her go. Yuqing hurriedly came up to support her and gently told her to be careful. She responded softly and stepped into the threshold of Linjiang Palace amid the deafening sound of firecrackers.
After paying homage to heaven and earth and to his parents, Wei An was led into the bridal chamber by Shen Chen in a daze.
She knew the location of the Pingxi Marquis' Mansion, but she had only been to the Linjiang Prince's Mansion once, so she could only passively follow Shen Chen. She didn't know how long she walked before she finally arrived at the place. She was led into the house by several people and forced to sit on the bed.
The room was more lively than she had expected. She wrung her hands nervously. Before she could take a deep breath, she heard the matchmaker asking Shen Chen to use the wedding scale to pick out the handkerchief.
Shen Chen had never used this thing before. He carefully picked up the handkerchief. After receiving a satisfactory nod from the bridesmaid, he looked at his bride today with a smile on his face.
There were at least ten lights on in the room. Wei An felt a little uncomfortable when his veil was suddenly pulled off. He raised his hands to cover his eyes, then subconsciously looked towards Shen Chen.
He was wearing the same bright red attire that only grooms wear today, just like her.
Most men can seldom stand out in red, but not Shen Chen. His features are clearly not as good as those of a painter, and the bright red color only makes him look more handsome.
The room was silent for a moment, and then someone burst out laughing, walked up and praised: "What a talented man and beautiful woman, a match made in heaven! Look at the bride, she is so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off her!"
No matter how decisive a woman is in normal times, she can no longer remain calm when faced with people criticizing her. Wei An blushed when everyone was looking at her, and she quickly lowered her head.
Everyone laughed in good faith.
At this time, amidst the commotion, the bridesmaid threw a bunch of red dates, peanuts and other things on the two newlyweds.
Wei An's head tilted slightly after being hit, and Shen Chen subconsciously raised his hand to block it for her, which caused another burst of laughter from the female relatives.
Amidst all the noise, the ceremony was finally completed, and the female relatives gathered around the familiar bride.
Wei An took a quick glance and couldn't recognize most of them. There was no one left in Pingxi Marquis' Mansion, so the wedding was held in Linjiang Palace. These people should all be relatives of Linjiang Palace.
However, the relatives of the Linjiang Palace should all be members of the royal family, but she didn't know these people. She felt a little uneasy, so she lowered her head and pretended to be shy.
Shen Chen pretended not to see them and told the maids standing like puppets in the room: "Do whatever the Madam tells you to do. Do you understand?"
This instruction must have been given before. The maids were trembling with fear and knelt down immediately.
The room fell silent.
The laughter disappeared, and was replaced by all kinds of scrutinizing and guessing looks directed at the bride and groom.
This happened in the Linjiang Palace. If Shen Chen trusted his servants enough, he would never say such things in front of so many relatives to slap the face of the person in charge of the Linjiang Palace.
The person in charge of the wedding now is Concubine Yu. Princess Linjiang claimed to be ill and did not come out, even for the ceremony. She just asked someone to send gifts over.
So the person Shen Chen wants to beat and warn is Concubine Yu
Wei An knew what was going on. He noticed Shen Chen's hand pinching his palm and glanced at him.
His eyes were clear, full of smiles and joy, and she couldn't help but relax and smile at him.
Soon the silence in the room was broken. A round-faced woman wearing a scarlet robe with a pattern of hundreds of children celebrating spring made a sound of "tsk tsk" and said jokingly, "Look at our groom. He hasn't even had his wedding night yet, but he's already so devoted to his bride! Well, it's very lively outside, and the prince may not be able to handle it alone! The marquis should go out and toast!"
Someone immediately echoed: "That's right, are you afraid that we will eat the bride?!"
Shen Chen smiled without saying anything, but still got up and went out.
As soon as he left, the round-faced woman came up to Wei An and said, "Hello, new daughter-in-law! I'm your third aunt, you can just call me aunt."
aunt
Wei An was stunned for just a moment before he understood the identity of this aunt. Logically speaking, Shen Chen's legitimate aunts were the Queen Mother and Princess Zheng. As for the informal ones, they would naturally be the family of Princess Linjiang, whom he had called mother for more than ten years.
She said "oh" in her heart, but the smile on her face did not change at all. She called her aunt obediently, but there was no more enthusiasm.
The people of the Qin family were aware of Princess Linjiang's actions, but over the years, they had never heard of anyone from the Qin family stopping Princess Linjiang's actions, which showed their attitude towards Shen Chen.
They have never helped Shen Chen before, but now they come to join in the fun at her wedding. I'm afraid it's not really out of love as elders. It's always a good idea to keep silent about these people who come too close and are too enthusiastic.
The third wife of the Qin family did not expect that the bride in front of her would be so calm and did not even react to her warmth. The smile on her face froze for a moment before she pointed at the people in front of her and introduced them to Wei An one by one: "This is your second aunt, this is your sister Yanran, this is your sister Hudan..."
These people should all be from the Qin family.
Come to think of it, the Linjiang Palace is really a small one, with only one married daughter who has died and has no contact with them for a long time. Now there is only Concubine Yu who is raising a six-year-old girl. It's a pity that at this time, it is naturally impossible to send her over here, so perhaps to save face, or perhaps the people of the Qin family felt that this was the time to show their status, so one by one they came over, so that now nearly half of the people in the bridal chamber are various people from the Qin family.
But then again, why did so many people come to the Qin family? Do they really regard themselves as a legitimate uncle's family? (To be continued)
