Three days passed by in a blink of an eye, and the day when Chu Xianmin got married came in the blink of an eye.
However, except for her own residence, which was slightly decorated, there was no joy in any other place in the Chu family.
In the past, when there was a happy event in the mansion, the servants would rush to work. On the one hand, they wanted to leave a good impression in front of their master, and on the other hand, they wanted to get more rewards.
But Chu Xianmin's courtyard was deserted, with only a few servants who usually waited here busy.
If they couldn't avoid it, they wouldn't want to come.
Rumors have spread throughout the entire mansion that Chu Xianmin is getting married this time. Although she is marrying into the prince's mansion, she is just a concubine and is really not worthy of publicity!
For this reason, the great elder did not even prepare any dowry for her, which shows that this marriage is not really a happy event.
Several servants were talking in low voices while packing their things.
"With the status of the third young lady, I originally thought that she would be a princess when she married, but unexpectedly... she was just a concubine! Where does this put the face of our Chu family?"
"That's right! Life in the Chu family has been difficult in the past few years, and now the first lady has married someone as a concubine. It's really a joke! In the past, the third lady was very popular, but now many people are laughing at it!"
"Then who can be blamed? The third lady has been disfigured, and now she goes everywhere without wearing a veil? Besides, her reputation as a good friend has long been gone. Even if she is willing to marry, no one will want her! Except for the Prince's Palace, she Where can I go?”
"Shh! She's out!"
The door opened, and Chu Xianmin was helped out. The servants in the yard immediately stopped talking, but their eyes kept looking at Chu Xianmin.
She wore a red wedding dress and a veil on her face, but there was no phoenix crown on her head. She only wore a gold and jade hairpin sent by the Prince's Palace.
It's not that she doesn't want to dress up, it's just that's the rule.
Fengguanxiapei is something that only the royal family is qualified to wear. People like her who enter the Prince's Mansion as a concubine can only keep it simple and must keep it simple.
Chu Xianmin walked out of the room. The courtyard was deserted. Except for her original servants, there was no one extra person who came to celebrate!
Oh, it’s okay not to come.
Didn't it happen that you came here at this time and saw her joke
Chu Xianmin gritted her teeth and dug her nails deeply into her palms to suppress the anger and unwillingness in her heart.
"It's so quiet. Is the prince not here yet? Why don't you even hear the sound of gongs and drums?"
Chu Xianmin asked, holding back her anger.
Those people in the Prince's Mansion are really good. They used to fawn over her in all kinds of ways, but now that she is in such a state of desperation, they even dare to neglect things like her wedding!
Everyone looked at each other.
Lu Yao stood nearby, her face a little stiff.
She actually forgot to tell Minmin that the prince did not have to come to welcome this wedding in person.
At this moment, someone walked over quickly.
"Isn't it already packed? Why aren't you leaving yet? The sedan is already waiting outside. Miss Chu San, hurry up and invite me!"
This man, Chu Xianmin, looked familiar. He was just an ordinary guard in the prince's palace. He had nodded and bowed when he saw her before, but now in front of her, he actually dared to straighten his back and speak!
But that’s not the most important thing. The most important thing is—
"W-what do you mean!? His Royal Highness is not coming?!"
Chu Xianmin's eyes widened.
Lu Yao pulled her and whispered:
"Minmin, according to the rules, this is correct..."
Chu Xianmin finally came to her senses at this time.
For her so-called "big wedding", His Highness the Crown Prince would not come to pick her up at all, but just sent a random person over!
The guard grinned, with a bit of sarcasm on his face.
"Miss Chu San, Your Highness is busy with affairs, how can you find time to do such small things?"
Little things!
The most important thing in a woman's life, he actually said it was a trivial matter!
Chu Xianmin had fantasized about the situation of marrying into the prince's palace countless times. It should be full of flowers and bustling! It's definitely not like it is now, so crude and disgusting!
Only at this moment did she realize clearly that she was a "concubine"!
Chu Xianmin didn't know how she endured the surging emotions in her heart, and she didn't know how she walked to the sedan outside the door.
Only when she arrived in front of the Prince's Mansion did she finally come to her senses.
She opened the side curtain and looked outside. The door of the Prince's Mansion was closed tightly, and there was no sign that there was a wedding going on.
Yes.
She could only enter through the small door.
A strong sense of humiliation came to my heart!
Chu Xianmin was born as a beautiful girl of heaven. She has been the envy of everyone for so many years. How could she ever be so humble!
The hatred towards Chu Liuyue gained another level in her heart.
The servants took her to a courtyard in the backyard of the Prince's Mansion.
"Tingfeng Garden will be your residence from now on. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has important matters today and cannot come for the time being. You can just wait here for the time being."
After saying this, the person who brought her turned and left.
Chu Xianmin took a look and saw several girls and boys standing outside, presumably sent to serve her.
She was so depressed at this time that she couldn't even care about them.
For this plan, she has only one way left: no matter what, she must win the prince's favor!
…
Chu Xianmin waited for a whole day.
It wasn't until nightfall that the courtyard suddenly became lively.
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Hearing this voice, Chu Xianmin quickly stood up to greet him.
Rong Jin has already pushed the door open and entered.
"Your Highness, you are finally here."
After what happened last time, Rong Jin was quite unhappy with Chu Xianmin. Now that he married her under the pressure of his father, he didn't even want to see her face.
So, he was busy all day and didn't come until night.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a familiar figure.
Chu Xianmin was wearing a red wedding dress, standing there pretty.
The warm and dim candlelight in the room cast a hazy layer of light and shadow around her, giving her a rare charm.
Although she was not dressed up today, her wedding dress was well-cut and outlined her exquisite and slender figure, with a slim waist.
Rong Jin looked at it and narrowed his eyes.
If nothing else, Chu Xianmin is indeed beautiful.
The red veil covered her face, revealing only a pair of timid and sparkling eyes, which were particularly alluring.
Rong Jin walked towards her, and his voice became much gentler:
"There are too many things going on today, and I haven't been able to get out of it. It's too late now. Minmin, you don't blame me, do you?"
"How could Minmin? Your Highness's affairs are the most important. You still remember Minmin, and Minmin is already very happy." Chu Xianmin said with a smile, but her eyes were full of tears, looking pitiful.
This time, Rong Jin felt a little more distressed. He gently touched her shoulder with one hand, feeling a little moved, and then went to pull her veil.
"Minmin..."
Chu Xianmin didn't expect him to be so direct. He had a bad intention and wanted to stop him immediately, but it was already too late.
Rong Jin had already seen the terrifying scarlet scar on her cheek!
"You! Your face—"
He quickly backed away as if he had seen something terrible, and the ambiguity just now disappeared in an instant!
Chu Xianmin seemed to have been slapped hard.
When she put on the veil in a panic, trying to tell the difference for herself, Song Yuan's urgent voice suddenly came from outside:
"Your Highness! Your Majesty is calling urgently!"
