Chapter 269 The Worst Groom in History
Chapter 269 The Worst Groom in History
At this moment, Luo Qing's whole body exuded a strong and pungent smell of feces and urine, making it impossible for people to get close to him.
The people around were laughing so hard that they fell over. Their hearty laughter was like waves, one after another, echoing throughout the entire street.
Luo Qing stood in the crowd, feeling his cheeks burning hot, feeling ashamed and annoyed. He felt that he must be the most miserable groom in history.
However, thinking that today was his big day, he had to suppress the discomfort in his heart and bowed to everyone repeatedly.
Not only that, he also tried to open his mouth wide, showing a big smile, and said loudly:
"It's okay, it's okay, everyone, please don't laugh at me. This young master is very happy today, so naturally there must be some small twists and turns and interesting things. This is what makes it lively. It's worth it to make everyone happy."
At this moment, the wedding procession finally caught up in a hurry.
When the butler saw his young master's appearance, he hurriedly ordered his servants to go to the clothing store to buy a new groom's suit for Luo Qing to wear.
After a while, the new clothes were delivered.
However, when Luo Qing happily put on the new clothes, he found that it was a little small and too tight on his body, which looked very awkward no matter how he looked at it.
However, now that things had come to this, he had no other choice but to bite the bullet, tidy up his clothes, then mount his horse again and slowly walk towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After a bumpy ride, we finally arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Ouyang Ping was seen wearing a gorgeous red wedding dress, holding a veil in her hand, standing at the gate early in the morning, looking anxiously forward to something.
She was really afraid that he would run away from the marriage again. When she saw the wedding procession from afar, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, when Luo Qing approached, she saw Luo Qing's slightly disheveled outfit. At first, she just covered her mouth with her hand and smiled secretly.
But as her eyes continued to wander over Luo Qing, she could hardly suppress the laughter in her heart. Gradually, the laughter became louder and louder, and finally she laughed out loud without any scruples.
Luo Qing couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he saw this. He blushed and scratched his head in embarrassment, then lowered his voice and said, "Oh, I really made a fool of myself today. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, my lady."
"Who told you to disobey the imperial order and run away from marriage with me? This is your punishment!" Ouyang Ping gave him a reproachful look.
Luo Qing smiled flatteringly and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, it's all my fault. Madam is absolutely right!"
His fawning look made him look like a pug, which made people laugh.
Ouyang Ping glared at Luo Qing fiercely, but her shyness was hard to conceal despite her slight anger.
She slowly put on the blood-red veil, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing an imperceptible smile of happiness.
Afterwards, she and Luo Qing went together to pay their respects and bid farewell to their parents.
"The bride is about to lift the sedan chair--" accompanied by the high-pitched and passionate shouts of the master of ceremonies, a gorgeously decorated sedan chair was lifted steadily.
Ouyang Ping, wearing a phoenix crown and a red robe, sat in the middle and walked slowly towards the Duke's Mansion to the sound of festive drums and music.
The wedding proceeded in an orderly manner, and everything seemed so solemn and beautiful.
At the wedding banquet, people were toasting each other, chatting and laughing. Every smiling face was filled with joy, and the whole scene was very lively.
At this moment, Crown Prince Zhao Haoxuan and Princess Zhao Yuwei, brother and sister, also arrived at the Duke's Mansion. Their appearance instantly attracted the attention of many guests.
However, the second prince Zhao Haoyun did not show up here. Although his physical disability was almost cured, he did not want people to know that he had been detoxified. After all, the enemy was in the dark and sometimes it was hard to guard against.
At the same time, Wang Xinyao, accompanied by Xiao Xizi, also came to offer her sincere blessings.
Chen Jingyuan and General Xiong Yun remained in the manor to practice and were unable to attend the wedding in person.
Zhou Yunxi also arrived as scheduled. His arrival undoubtedly added some bright colors to the wedding, and made many wives of officials who had daughters waiting to get married focus on him.
What is more worth mentioning is that even the eldest prince of the Miao Kingdom, Chen Jingtao, appeared here.
However, this Chen Jingtao was obviously absent-minded, with his cunning eyes always fixed on the beautiful Princess Zhao Yuwei. His intentions were obvious to everyone.
Looking around, almost all the dignitaries in the capital city sent representatives to attend this grand wedding.
In addition, the Duke's Mansion was large, spacious and magnificent, making the wedding even more grand and warm, with the sounds of joy and noise endless.
At this moment, Zhou Shen and Cui Yingying rode their horses at full speed and finally arrived at the wedding scene before the wedding ceremony was about to begin.
The two men had just dismounted and had no time to catch their breath when they hurried towards the auditorium, holding tightly in their hands the gifts they were going to give to the newlyweds.
When they were about to reach the door, they suddenly saw Gou Chunmei standing there with a graceful lady writing a gift list.
I only heard the accountant beside me shouting loudly: "Gou Shangshu's house, a pair of night-shining pearls!"
Then he shouted again: "Commander of the Northern Ya Army, a set of precious jade!"
As the loud calls of counting were made, the eyes of the people around turned to look over, their eyes full of envy.
Zhou Shen didn't even look at Gou Chunmei and the others, he just walked forward with a smile and handed the carefully prepared set of four treasures of the study to the accountant.
The lady next to Gou Chunmei kept her eyes on Zhou Shen from the moment he appeared.
Cui Yingying carefully took out the clothes that she had spent several days making and gently placed them on the table.
However, at this moment, the lady standing next to Gou Chunmei suddenly said:
"Oh, look at all the gifts you gave me! It's someone's wedding day, and you only gave me a set of ordinary clothes. How stingy! And they're guests attending the wedding banquet. Don't you feel embarrassed?"
After saying this, the lady glanced at Cui Yingying coldly with an extremely contemptuous look.
Although Cui Yingying has now been granted the title of county lady by the emperor's grace, her status and position in the capital city where powerful people gather is indeed somewhat low.
So in the face of such ridicule, Cui Yingying just frowned slightly and did not intend to argue with the other party.
In addition, today is Luo Qing's wedding, and she really doesn't want to cause any unpleasantness here.
But Zhou Shen couldn't bear to watch it anymore. He was indignant and wanted to step forward immediately to ask for an explanation for Cui Yingying.
However, as soon as he took a step, his arm was tightly grabbed by Cui Yingying.
