Chapter 50
So beautiful!
This was a beauty beyond their wildest imaginations!
In that moment, they clearly understood the gap between them and Baili Hongzhuang.
The General's Household's eldest miss, the Crown Princess, she was even more beautiful than both of them.
Usually when they were together, Baili Hongzhuang had never acted proud or arrogant. They've never really thought of any real distance between them and the amiable Baili Hongzhuang.
But seeing her now, they discovered just how large the distance between them was!
"Hongzhuang, you're so beautiful today! Not even the most beautiful lady in the Imperial Capital can compare to you at all!" Dong Sirou praised honestly, her voice full of excitement.
She swore that she never saw anyone as beautiful in her entire life.
Even though she was a woman as well, she wasn't the slightest bit jealous because she clearly knew of the distance between them and instead looked up to her.
Before, the Imperial City never seriously chose who was the most beautiful woman in the Imperial City, but many people believed that Baili Yuyan was the most beautiful.
The rumor vanished once Baili Yuyan was disfigured.
After Baili Yuyan was disfigured, the Prime Minister's daughter, Crown Princess, Li Yuyue was believed to be the most beautiful by the public.
Originally, the best woman in the Imperial Capital was Li Yuyue and Baili Yuyan had just wandered in. But now that Baili Yuyan was disfigured and lost her qualifications, the t.i.tle of 'most beautiful' naturally fell back on Li Yuyue's head.
Nowadays, Li Yuyue was extremely proud and grew more and more arrogant, openly proclaiming her t.i.tle as the most beautiful woman in the Imperial Capital.
But in Dong Sirou's eyes, Li Yuyue couldn't even compare to Baili Hongzhuang!
Ji Wenbin and Du Tianshuo also nodded their heads. Her beauty was simply unforgettable.
Baili Hongzhuang smiled but didn't put Dong Sirou's words in her heart. An unwarranted t.i.tle just held no meaning for her.
"Hongzhuang, I wish you happiness."
Ji Wenbin blessed heartfully. He had always seen Baili Hongzhuang as a sister, and now looking at Baili Hongzhuang in her red wedding dress, his heart sighed with emotion.
"Thank you." Baili Hongzhuang's eyes were soft, "I'm very lucky to have such wonderful friends like you all to accompany me on my wedding day."
Since the moment she'd left the General's Household, she always felt lonely. But now as she looked at the 3 bright, smiling faces in front of her, she realised that was never alone.
"Hongzhuang, today you aren't getting married from the General's Household. The General's Household…"
Ji Wenbin frowned slightly. This was just blatant contempt at the General's Household, shouldn't you fear the General's rage?
After all, this marriage was something the whole city watched, and even the Emperor himself will come. If Baili Hongzhuang is marrying from Qinzhuang Garden, where would the General's face be put? Will the General even attend the wedding?
If Baili Zhentao didn't attend, then there isn't anything to talk about. But if Baili Zhentao did attend, it wouldn't be leaving him any face at all.
Baili Hongzhuang raised an eyebrow, "Whether they come or not, what does that have to do with me?"
She had already broken all ties with the General's Household and wasn't even related to the General's Household by blood.
If she marrying today will lose the General face, then all these years, the General had never given her any face!
After more than a decade without a shred of dignity, bit by bit, she'll start to earn it back!
Baili Zhentao needs a good taste of shame!
Seeing Baili Hongzhuang's att.i.tude, the 3 looked at each other in blank dismay. It seems like Baili Hongzhuang and the General's Household's relations.h.i.+p was already irreconcilable.
Baili Hongzhuang laughed, "With the Emperor's presence, as long as he has a brain, he wouldn't dare to try and cause trouble."
Hearing this, the 3 realized they were worries of Baili Zhentao coming to ruin the wedding in anger were meaningless.
Now that Baili Hongzhuang mentioned it, with the Emperor present, Baili Zhentao can only swallow his anger.
General's Household.
Baili Zhentao, Su Wanjing, Baili Yuyan, and Baili Haoxuan were gathered
They had always thought that Baili Hongzhuang would have no choice but to return to the General's Household to get married. After all, marrying alone from another place was just simply too sad.
They've even had a good time thinking of ways to ridicule her before preparing Baili Hongzhuang for the marriage. But all day, there wasn't even the slightest bit of news.
Only today, were they completely sure that Baili Hongzhuang was marrying from Qinzhuang Garden!
She was completely ignoring the General's Household's existence, marrying from somewhere else!
Even Dibei Chen didn't ask them so much a single question before arranging the wedding all by himself. They never even put the General's Household in their sight!
"Baili Hongzhuang and Dibei Chen are too much!" Baili Yuyan spoke angrily.
Like this, they didn't give the General's Household any face at all!
Baili Zhentao's face was gloomy. Throughout his life, he was always respected, but never expected to lose face twice because of Baili Hongzhuang!
The last time, the Emperor only comforted him a little and did nothing to punish Dibei Chen. In the end, he could only swallow his anger.
He couldn't understand. Last time, he could tell the Emperor clearly didn't favor Dibei Chen, so how could his att.i.tude suddenly turn a complete 180?
"Lord, since Baili Hongzhuang never put us in her sight, let's just not attend the wedding!"
Su Wanjing's normally gentle face was filled with hard to conceal anger. She truly regretted not directly killing Baili Hongzhuang earlier!
Hearing Su Wanjing's words, Baili Zhentao's anger exploded.
"The Emperor himself bestowed the marriage and is even personally attending as a guest! If we don't come, won't we be seen as disrespecting the Emperor?"
This was what he was the most furious at. Baili Hongzhuang's actions simply left him with no other way out, trapping him.
Did Baili Hongzhuang think of all this a long time ago?
If so, then Baili Hongzhuang was just too terrible!
He had been worrying since yesterday. If he attended the wedding, then Li Chengqian would be able to taunt him to death. Just the thought of it was enough to make his scalp turn numb.
Su Wanjing was startled. She never thought of it that way.
"Lord, are we not going to go?"
Su Wanjing's expression was ugly. She originally wanted to see that girl crawling back meekly, but now that she even had to attend her meeting, her heart simply couldn't stand it.
"Nonsense!"
Baili Zhentao looked at Su Wanjing, disgusted. This woman simply had no brains at all.
She couldn't help him with any of his troubles and asked him about every single thing. It was just sickening!
Su Wanjing's face paled. Just now, she had clearly seen disgust in Baili Zhentao's eyes!
She had been married to Baili Zhentao for many years. Even though there was at first a Qin Yayun, Baili Zhentao had never been angry at her.
And now, because of Qin Yayun's daugher, Baili Zhentao is actually beginning to hate her?
"Lord, how could you do such to me?"
Baili Zhentao was originally vexed and when he saw Su Wanjing tears spill out, his heart had a burst of irritation.
"All day, you only know how to cry! What else can you do but cry!"
Su Wanjing's figure trembled as the tears grew more and more violent. An unspeakable sadness spread from the bottom of her heart.
Seeing this, Baili Haoxuan took a few steps forward and spoke, "Father, since we can't do anything now, we might as well partic.i.p.ate in the wedding with dignity. No matter the outcome, you are still a honored General. Who dares to tell us what do? Even if that Prime Minister Li taunts us, it's no big deal if we just ignore them. I believe that he wouldn't dare to call us out just to mock us."
Baili Zhentao's face relaxed slightly as he proudly looked at Baili Haoxuan. In this family of his, only Baili Haoxuan could share his worries.
As for Su Wanjing and Baili Yuyan, they were only good for causing trouble!
The auspicious time arrived. Baili Hongzhuang left Qinzhuang Garden, surrounded by a cl.u.s.ter of nannies and maids.
In the garden, Baili Hongzhuang saw a martial out-of-the-ordinary figure clad in red.
Dibei Chen sat on a horse and had donned a matching red robe. His bewitchingly handsome face held an enormous smile, excluding happiness like a sun radiated heat, attracting everyone's attention.
In that moment, Baili Hongzhuang suddenly felt as if a beloved person of hers was getting married and laughed, her laughter permeating with delight.
Dibei Chen was also shocked as he looked at Baili Hongzhuang. He had always thought that Baili Hongzhuang would be very beautiful with her makeup and hair done as a bride.
But what he saw today far surpa.s.sed his imagination.
Compared to Baili Hongzhuang's usual look, it was less pure and elegant but more charming and enchanting, a smile capable of stealing a person's soul!
He had never thought about what he want his bride to look like.
But in that instant, he knew he wanted his bride to look like this.
The two pairs of eyes met, sharing a smile worth a thousand words.
Under the sounds of firecrackers and blessings, Baili Hongzhuang got on the bridal palanquin. She was slowly carried to Chen Imperial Palace.
Chen Palace was lively. Many guests had arrived and were all laughing and talking about the wedding.
"I heard that it was Prince Chen who took the initiative to set the wedding date today. It seems like Prince Chen is really looking forward to marrying Baili Hongzhuang!"
"Haha, who doesn't look forward to marrying a beautiful woman? Didn't you see that His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince was acting like he lost his soul?"
"Shh, you can't say that aloud." One man said hastily.
After today, Baili Hongzhuang would become Princess Chen.
If you pull back what happened between Xuanyuan Huan and Baili Hongzhuang, today would be the day of your death.
The person who said it naturally knew what he said was wrong and laughed hollowly, "Do you think the General's Household will come today? Baili Hongzhuang and Prince Chen didn't even put them in their sight."
"The Emperor will be coming soon. Baili Zhentao wouldn't dare to disobey the Emperor's orders so he'll definitely come."
"I think Baili Hongzhuang was taking revenge. We all know very clearly just how the General's Household treated her."
The guest's face changed. This was the most watched wedding in the Imperial City.
