Chapter 408: Legend of Zhen Huan - Nian Shilan 12

I haven’t gotten it, so why should other women get it!

Since the day Honghui died, Yixiu has gone mad. Rouze's death was just the beginning. As long as she still loves Yinzhen, Yixiu will not get better, but will only become more and more crazy, until she becomes the queen in the later period, and cares about nothing except the position of the emperor and the queen mother.

Nian Shilan, wearing her wedding dress and a veil, was expressionless and was supported by Songzhi and Baicao like a puppet. As for Yinzhen, who originally stretched out his hand to hold her hand, Nian Shilan said that she didn't need it.

Perhaps it was because he felt Nian Shilan's coldness that Yinzhen couldn't help feeling a little unhappy, but as soon as he thought about the reason, he couldn't help but feel short of breath and had to endure it.

In her previous life, Nian Shilan was deceived by Yinzhen's "sincerity" step by step. If she had been more sober, she would have known that as long as the Nian family and Nian Gengyao were still there, even if she bluntly expressed her dislike for Yinzhen, the other party would have been able to bear it and come to please her.

If that's the case, then why should I humble myself? If I don't like it, I don't like it. Nian Shilan can't pretend to be as sincere as the trader in her previous life, nor does she want to pretend. Some people are born to be mean, and the more you try to get ahead, the more they look down on you.

Just like the emperor later, he kept saying that Shilan was sincere to him, but when he encountered problems he would only think of taking advantage of Shilan's sincerity, paralyzing her, deceiving her, coaxing her, just to flatter her to death.

It would be best if it seemed that he was reluctant to spare Nian Shilan's life, but that kind of sparing was not so much because he was reluctant to spare Nian Shilan, but rather because he was reluctant to spare the life of a woman who truly loved him. In essence, it was for himself, otherwise he would not have killed Nian Shilan's brother and still hoped that she could understand him.

After some music and dancing, the ceremony was finally over. Nian Shilan, with her head full of pearls and jade, felt her hair hanging down and hurt. Feeling that there was no one around, she simply lifted her veil and called Songzhi and Baicao to come over and help her take off her bun.

"Oh, Concubine, you can't do this. The veil has to wait for the prince to come and lift it personally, and the bun cannot be removed."

Seeing this, Xi Po hurried forward to stop them. Nian Shilan didn't want to listen and insisted that Song Zhi take it down for her. Yin Zhen happened to come in at this time and listened to Xi Po's persuasion. He was a little dissatisfied: "What's wrong? Why are you making so much noise?"

Nian Shilan turned around and looked over following the sound. Yinzhen immediately saw her dazzlingly beautiful face. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and realize the current situation.

For some reason, although Yinzhen knew that Nian Shilan's behavior was against the rules, he could not say any words of blame. He only felt his throat dry and a sense of panic.

Nian Shilan took a look at Yinzhen now. He was thirty years old, with a handsome figure, not as fat as she remembered. His face did not look ugly but not good-looking either. At least he did not deserve the title of handsome man. Overall, he looked just so-so except for his temperament.

I don’t know how I was chosen by those women?

When Nian Shilan was looking at him, Yinzhen naturally felt it. He couldn't help but tense his muscles, trying to make himself look younger and stronger. When Nian Shilan withdrew her gaze, Yinzhen couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, because he didn't see Nian Shilan looking satisfied with him. Her expression was always so calm, so calm that Yinzhen couldn't guess what was in her mind at all.

The matchmaker didn't say anything when she saw the groom coming. She naturally understood the meaning and left, dragging Songzhi and Baicao away with her.

When there were only two people left in the bridal chamber, one sitting and one standing, Nian Shilan put her veil aside and began to take off her hairpins. Yinzhen walked forward silently and took the initiative to try to help Nian Shilan take off the hairpins. Seeing that Nian Shilan did not object, he speeded up his actions.

"Is Shilan uncomfortable with these hairpins on her head?"

Yinzhen wanted to ease the atmosphere and took the initiative to speak. Nian Shilan did not ignore him and replied: "It's too heavy. My scalp hurts."

The two did not talk after that. After removing her hairpin, Nian Shilan's black hair fell down behind her like a waterfall, which made her look more charming and refreshing in Yinzhen's eyes. Yinzhen even sat down next to Nian Shilan, held one of her hands, and began to introduce himself to her and the decoration of the bridal room, which naturally included the pepper wall.

Nian Shilan was very cold throughout the whole process, but Yinzhen couldn't find anything wrong with her. When it was almost time, Songzhi came in with the wedding wine.

"Concubine, this is the wedding wine that Eunuch Su sent in. He said it was ordered by the prince."

Nian Shilan was not clear about the etiquette for a prince to marry a concubine, but drinking the wedding wine was part of the Han Chinese custom of marrying a wife. She thought that Yinzhen must have done it on purpose to show his importance to her, just like the name of Tongxin Courtyard which symbolizes "husband and wife are of one mind" and the pepper wall which symbolizes "joy of the pepper room", they were all just means.

Whenever I think of the plot of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", in which the emperor arranged a pepper room for Zhen Huan, gave her a love knot, and cut a red candle, at least Yinzhen was sincere at that time.

It's boring, so boring. Two strangers, a man and a woman, who met for the first time, got together for their own plans. Why couldn't they acknowledge this strangeness? Why did they have to use "love" to cover up the exchange of interests behind it?

"After drinking the wedding wine, I hope that the prince and Shilan can love each other and stay together forever."

Yinzhen was still acting, but Nian Shilan laughed sarcastically, "Your Highness is wrong. Shilan is from the Han Army Banner and is a concubine. I don't think she will ever be your wife in this life. Shilan knows herself well."

After saying this, without waiting for Yinzhen to change his expression, he directly picked up a glass of wine and drank it. Songzhi stood aside, already feeling very aggrieved for her young lady, and when she heard that Yinzhen was still deceiving her young lady, she became even more furious.

Prince Yong obviously wanted the power of the Nian family behind the young lady, so why did he have to trick the young lady into falling in love with him? Could it be that, as the young lady said, if he tricked her with his true feelings, he wouldn't have to spend any other money?

"..."

Nian Shilan's actions were too fast, and Yinzhen felt that his enthusiasm was extinguished in an instant, which was a bit disappointing. But when he saw Nian Shilan's face, he was reluctant to leave. He could only persuade himself that trust could not be gained all at once, while suppressing his dissatisfaction and coaxing Nian Shilan gently.

"In my heart, Shilan is my wife."

It is enough for me to be a rich man with the Queen as my wife and you and Shilan as my two beautiful concubines...

Alas, having a good memory is not always a good thing. At least when Yinzhen was lying, he could easily find the lines in the plot to refute them. This made it really difficult to get into the role.

Although Nian Shilan was not very cooperative, Yinzhen finally stubbornly played the role of a good husband. He was still young and did not want to consummate the marriage too early and damage his body, so Nian Shilan pretended to be drunk and fell asleep while Yinzhen went to wash up.
