Chapter 793 [Under the Brocade 89]
"Bow to heaven and earth!" As the bridesmaid's high-pitched and melodious voice sounded, Youyou, wearing a gorgeous wedding dress, slowly turned around with the handsome Lu Yi beside her and bowed solemnly to the door. The sunlight shone through the window lattice on them, as if covering the newlyweds with a layer of golden glory.
Then, "Bow to your parents!" The bridesmaid's voice came again. Youyou covered her head with a red veil, and Lu Yi had a blank expression on his face. The two turned around and bowed respectfully to Lu Ting who was sitting in the hall.
"Husband and wife bow to each other!" The last shout rang out, and Youyou and Lu Yi bowed slightly and bowed deeply to each other. At this moment, the guests around them applauded and cheered, and the atmosphere was very lively.
However, just when everyone thought that they were going to shout "Send to the bridal chamber", Lu Yi suddenly said, "Wait, Princess, you still have someone to see. Please go to the bridal chamber after you have finished this ceremony." Everyone was stunned when they heard this, not knowing what Lu Yi meant by this. He only winked at Cen Fu who was standing beside him. Cen Fu nodded in understanding, then quickly walked to the back and held out a tablet.
Xiaochun, the maidservant beside Youyou, had sharp eyes and saw the words written on the tablet at a glance - Lu Yi's wife Ouyang Youyou. She was immediately furious and her face turned red. She shouted angrily: "Well, you Lu family dare to humiliate my princess like this! Let's not talk about what happened yesterday. Today, Lu Yi, you actually asked our highness to worship a deceased person. What on earth does this mean? Do you really think that our highness has no one to support her? If this matter gets to the ears of the emperor, let's see how he punishes you!"
Facing Xiaochun's accusations, Lu Yi remained calm and said calmly: "Princess, if you don't want to perform the ceremony, then there is no need to get married. Please do as you please." After saying that, he folded his arms across his chest and looked at Youyou coldly.
Seeing Lu Yi's extremely tough attitude, Xiaochun couldn't help but feel anxious. She quickly turned her head and cast her gaze at Youyou, her face full of anxiety. She urged anxiously: "Princess, we must not endure such humiliation! Let's go, let's go find the emperor now and ask him to do justice for us!" Before she finished speaking, she reached out and held Youyou's hand tightly, and pretended to run out the door.
"Okay!" Youyou didn't say much, just responded in a straightforward manner. Then, she waved her arm, suddenly lifted up the gorgeous wedding dress on her body, and then knelt on her knees, and kowtowed heavily in front of her without hesitation. When she stood up, Xiaochun quickly supported her.
At this moment, the matchmaker shouted loudly at the right time: "Send her to the bridal chamber--" With this shout, Youyou, supported by Xiaochun, slowly walked into the new house that had been carefully decorated.
Meanwhile, Lu Ting's face instantly turned gloomy when he saw how things had turned out. He rushed to his son in two steps, pulled him to a deserted place nearby, and shouted in a low voice, "Lu Yi, what's wrong with you? How can you act like this? Aren't you deliberately trying to intimidate the princess by doing this? Tell me, how do you want the princess to feel? No, you have to go and apologize to the princess in person later!"
Facing his father's rebuke, Lu Yi didn't care at all. Instead, he responded indifferently: "I have already agreed to let her marry into the family. Is there anything else she is not satisfied with? Besides, as the second wife, it is only natural for her to kowtow to the original wife. What's wrong with that?"
"That's true, but she is a princess of the royal family after all. Common people like us can only treat her with caution and cannot afford to offend her!" Lu Ting said helplessly.
"After the toasting session is over, you still have to go to the princess' room. Even though you don't have much affection for her, you still have to show some superficial effort and courtesy. You have to give her the proper face." Lu Ting warned earnestly.
"Yeah, I know what's going on." Lu Yi nodded expressionlessly.
Time passed slowly, and before he knew it, the night had fallen and everything was silent. Lu Yi had been entertaining people outside for a long time, and only returned to the bridal chamber in the dead of night, dragging his slightly tired body.
The moment he stepped into the room, he saw the flickering candlelight in the room, a red festive atmosphere. The bride Youyou, dressed in gorgeous wedding clothes and wearing a phoenix crown and bridal robe, was sitting quietly on the wedding bed, with the bright red veil covering her face tightly.
However, Lu Yi seemed to ignore the beauty in front of him. He strode straight to the table with wine and delicious food, then sat down, filled another glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.
At this time, Youyou actually realized that Lu Yi had returned, but she sat there happily, waiting and waiting, but Lu Yi never came to lift the red veil that symbolized happiness and sweetness for her. Finally, she couldn't hold back her curiosity, so she quietly reached out and gently lifted a corner of the veil, wanting to secretly see what Lu Yi was doing. As a result, what she saw was Lu Yi drinking alone.
In a flash, she gritted her teeth, stretched out her hand and lifted the festive red veil, then walked towards Lu Yi without hesitation. Although Lu Yi heard the approaching footsteps at this time, he did not turn back, but said directly in a firm tone: "Princess, to be honest, you are not the one I love in my heart. I can't give you everything you expect, so in my opinion, you might as well find another good husband, because my heart has long been as silent as ashes."
"Hehe..." A clear and pleasant laugh came, and the woman laughed softly, "Ayi, are you really determined not to marry me?"
Lu Yi shuddered upon hearing the voice. This familiar voice instantly froze him in place as if he had been struck by lightning. Then, as if he couldn't believe his ears, he slowly turned his head. The person standing in front of him was none other than You You, the one he had been thinking about day and night! For a moment, Lu Yi was completely stunned, muttering to himself: "You... am I hallucinating because I'm drunk? You You, how could... how could you appear in my dream?"
Looking at Lu Yi's stupid look, Youyou couldn't help but feel angry and amused. She walked forward angrily, stretched out her hand and pinched Lu Yi's arm hard, scolding: "Humph! You should wake up now!"
Being pinched like this, Lu Yi shuddered in pain and came back to his senses in an instant. He widened his eyes and looked at Youyou with surprise, and was so excited that he spoke incoherently: "It's... it's true! It's true! Youyou, do you know how much I have missed you these days?" Before he finished speaking, Lu Yi opened his arms and hugged Youyou tightly, as if he was afraid that she would disappear if he let go.
Youyou felt Lu Yi's warm and powerful hug, and her heart was full of happiness and touching. She patted Lu Yi's back gently and said softly: "I know, of course I know, look, I'm back with you."
Hearing this, Lu Yi loosened his embrace a little, lowered his head and gazed at Youyou's beautiful face, and asked affectionately: "After you come back this time, you will never leave again, right?"
Youyou smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Well, don't worry, even if I have to leave, I will always be by your side for the rest of my life."
"But didn't I hear that you were already dead? Or was the emperor giving you poisoned wine?" Lu Yi's eyes widened, looking at the person in front of him in disbelief, his voice slightly raised because of surprise. He could never have imagined that the woman who was rumored to have died would actually appear in front of him alive.
Youyou smiled slightly, with a hint of mystery and pride in her smile: "Of course it's for outsiders to see! In fact, His Majesty has recognized me as his niece's great-granddaughter. Not only that, His Majesty also specially gave me a new identity. From now on, I will be called Zhu Qiyu." She gently brushed the hair by her ear, her eyes revealing a bit of agility and intelligence.
After hearing this, Lu Yi suddenly understood, but he still had many questions in his mind: "So... you are the famous Princess Mingzhu?" He looked Youyou up and down, trying to find some familiar shadows in her.
Youyou nodded slightly, her face filled with confidence: "It's exactly me, the princess. How about it, are you surprised?" She tilted her head coquettishly, with a mischievous light flashing in her eyes.
