Marrying Salted Fish

34

As soon as these words fell, the hall immediately became chaotic.

It was just a concubine. According to etiquette, the prince only needed to wait for someone to arrive in the East Palace. He came in person to pick up the bride, which really gave enough face to the Nan'an Marquis's Mansion.

The Lu clan members congratulated the Marquis of Nan'an one after another: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so fond of the Concubine. This is a blessing for our Lu clan!"

"This is not the kind of ceremony that you would expect from a concubine, even a grand wedding would be no more than this."

At this time, Nan'an Marquis did not forget to be cautious in his words and actions: "Don't talk nonsense. A wife is a wife, a concubine is a concubine, how can the two be compared. You all follow me to welcome His Highness."

Lu Niantao's expression changed under the bead curtain, and was covered by the veil of the matchmaker.

Lin Qingyu said: "Shall we go?"

Lu Wancheng smiled somewhat coldly: "Go ahead. He is my cousin after all, and he married my own sister, so I should go and congratulate him no matter what."

Lin Qingyu pushed Lu Wancheng and followed everyone to the gate of the Marquis's mansion. Xiao Cheng did not come on horseback like an ordinary groom to welcome the bride. He sat in the sedan chair of the crown prince. When the Marquis of Nan'an arrived, he did not stand up. It was better to say that he came to show off his status rather than to welcome the bride. In Lu Wancheng's words, it was: he started pretending again.

Nan'an Marquis led the whole family to pay respect to him. Xiao Cheng said slowly, "No need to be polite," and accurately found Lin Qingyu and Lu Wancheng beside him in the crowd, and smiled with interest before walking out of the sedan chair.

The bridesmaid helped Lu Niantao out of the door, and sent her to Xiao Cheng as if it were a normal wedding. Xiao Cheng paused for a moment and said, "Help the concubine get on the wedding sedan."

The bridesmaid was stunned for a moment, but didn't dare to ask any more questions. She took Lu Niantao to the wedding sedan. Xiao Cheng walked straight to Lu Wancheng and said, "My cousin has been ill for a long time. My mother and I are very worried. I don't know if my cousin has improved recently."

Lu Wancheng smiled and said, "Nothing has improved. I'm afraid Your Highness will have to continue to worry."

Xiao Cheng leaned down and spoke to Lu Wancheng, but his eyes were on Lin Qingyu: "Don't worry, cousin. When you leave, I will take good care of Xiao Qingyu for you."

"'Xiao Qingyu'." Lu Wancheng laughed softly, "I'm a little curious, what will Your Highness call the newly-accepted concubine - Xiao Taotao?"

Xiao Cheng narrowed his eyes in displeasure: "My cousin has the energy to joke around, why not save it and take care of your body. After all, when a person dies, everything is over."

Lu Wancheng smiled slightly: "Your Highness, don't worry. As long as I don't say it's over, nothing will end."

Xiao Cheng straightened up, looked at Lin Qingyu deeply, turned around and said, "Go back to the palace."

The wedding procession gradually went away. Marquis Nan'an and Liang were busy greeting the Lu clan. Lin Qingyu and Lu Wancheng did not want to join in the fun and returned to Lanfeng Pavilion.

Lin Qingyu frowned and said, "Xiao Cheng already has Lu Niantao, why..."

"Why are you still looking at you with such disgusting eyes?" Lu Wancheng kept it a secret, "Do you know what people who like to find substitutes have in common?"
