Chapter 1189: All The Careerists (19)
Ming Shu and Shen Pin’s wedding would be held on the seventh day next month.
When Shen Pin received this news, the dowry was being sent over to his palace.
“Your Highness…” The guard waited for the people who sent them the dowry to leave before saying, “These are men’s clothes.”
Shen Pin was elated. “I will marry her as a man.”
He wanted to bring her into his family.
However, he was part of the Fengqi State.
If not…
He could protect her just like the men in other nations.
The bodyguard was shocked. “Your Highness… deceiving the empress is a serious crime.”
Shen Pin’s tone was lighthearted. “Since she dared to send these things over, she must have made ample preparations. I believe in her.”
The guard: “…”
Aren’t you worried that she has evil intentions?
The prime minister…
Shen Pin didn’t know why, but he felt happy whenever he thought of Ming Shu.
…
As the wedding date got nearer, the prime minister mansion got busier. Many people were unwilling to sell things to the prime minister mansion.
Unfortunately, Ming Shu needed many things that couldn’t be acquired at normal shops.
There were many obstacles during the wedding preparations but luckily, with the help of Ming Shu’s reputation, they managed to gather all the items.
“This is just one of the many worlds. Do you have to put in so much effort?”
Ming Shu looked up and saw Luo Yan in red. He sat on the wall. He lifted his little finger and spoke like a woman. “You want the best of everything… tsk, tsk, as if he will know.”
Ming Shu picked up a few rocks and threw them at Luo Yan.
Luo Yan was immersed in his acting and also felt that Ming Shu would not harm him since they were temporary allies. Thus, he let his guard down.
He fell down the wall.
Luo Yan climbed back up. There were leaves in his hair. He muttered irritatedly, “I hate women like you who are not cute at all. You just hit people whenever you want to.”
“We are the same.” Ming Shu smiled. “Why are you here? Are you here to send me a gift? I don’t want any gifts. Just give me food.”
Luo Yan: “…”
Luo Yan jumped in. He pulled up his sleeves. Ming Shu thought he wanted to fight with her and took a step back.
Luo Yan pointed at his elbow. “Look, this is what that bastard did to me.”
There were bandages on his arm.
She was the one who took Shen Pin out of the palace. Why did he look for him?
“Are you hurt?”
Luo Yan smiled. “What do you think? Can you not see the bandage?”
“I will tell him.” Ming Shu continued as Luo Yan looked at her with a curious expression, “I will tell him to use more force next time. I hope that he will chop your arm off.”
Luo Yan: “…”
Luo Yan pulled his sleeve back down. “I’ve found out what went wrong last time. Let me try again. I will succeed this time.”
“We will see.” The consequence of knocking the little demon unconscious is huge.
Luo Yan: “…”
…
Many members of the Jing family objected to this marriage. The elders of the Jing family came to look for Ming Shu. She had to deal with all of them.
Luckily, the Host’s parents were not around anymore. If not, things might be more troublesome.
Finally, the day of the wedding arrived.
“Lady, stop eating. Time is up. We should leave now.” Jing Yu took the plate of dessert away from Ming Shu and pulled her out of the mansion.
Ming Shu watched as her dessert got further and further away from her.
The wedding procession was waiting outside. The red carpet led all the way from the prime minister mansion to the palace. Many civilians came to look at the wedding because it was extremely luxurious.
Ming Shu took the lead. “Let’s go.”
A princess marrying out of the imperial family… this never happened before.
Shen Yu stood outside the palace gates with the ministers. Everyone wore a complicated expression. This was the first of a kind of wedding.
When Ming Shu arrived, Shen Pin’s carriage slowly appeared at the palace gate.
Ming Shu got down and walked toward the palace gates with red silk in her hand.
The carriage stopped inside the palace. The curtain of the carriage was lifted.
Shen Pin walked out of the carriage with the help of the palace attendants. Everyone suddenly became quiet.
Shen Pin looked beautiful in red.
But…
Wasn’t Princess Seven the one getting married?
Why did a man come out?
Shen Yu was shocked too. Shen Yu wore a man’s clothes and walked out of the palace gates.
Discussions started rising in the crowd.
“What happened?”
“Did she dress up as a man?”
“Doesn’t look like it…”
The ministers started talking among themselves too. What was happening? Why did Princess Seven become a man?
Shen Yu walked up. “Sister Seven?”
Shen Pin stopped in his tracks and answered Shen Yu. His voice was unfamiliar to her.
“You…” Shen Yu pointed at him. “You are a man?”
There was no makeup on Shen Pin’s face. Shen Yu felt her heart throbbing. He was beautiful and handsome at the same time.
She knew that her Sister Seven was beautiful, but such beauty was common among women. It was nothing to be proud of.
However, it her Seven Sister was a man…
Shen Pin looked up slightly. “If not, how can I marry the prime minister?”
Shen Yu’s face turned dark. “How dare you! It is an offense to deceive the empress!”
Shen Pin looked at Ming Shu. Ming Shu passed him the other end of the red silk.
She looked at Shen Yu and asked, “What do you want to do?”
Shen Yu didn’t know what to say.
What could she do?
Could she kill the prime minister?
No.
Could she do anything to Shen Pin? No.
Shen Yu watched as Ming Shu carried Shen Pin up. They were both in red.
Why did this happen?
What was the use of being an empress when she couldn’t do anything?
Shen Yu felt her body turning cold. She felt helpless once again.
“Your Majesty…” Elder Feng quickly held Shen Yu’s arm.
“I’m fine.” Shen Yu opened her mouth. She grabbed Elder Feng’s arm and whispered, “Elder Feng, I order you to get rid of her no matter what.”
After she was reborn, her greatest obstacle was not Shen Yan, it was Jing Se. She couldn’t believe it.
Elder Feng: “… Yes.”
…
The wedding was extravagant and grand. However, it was tiring too. After completing the wedding procedures, Ming Shu didn’t want to move anymore.
Yet Jing Yu forced her to entertain the guests.
Luckily, not many people came. Since Shen Pin was a woman, many people chose not to come to protest.
Most of the people who came were supporters of the prime minister. They were dumbfounded when they heard about what happened at the palace gate.
So Princess Seven was a man all along?
Their Prime Minister was normal?
That meant that Princess Seven deceived the empress.
If the empress forgave them, everything was fine. If the empress was angry…
No one dared to imagine what would happen.
However, the prime minister was not worried at all. The ministers felt that the empress would not do anything.
