Zuo Xiangfu.
Today the house is decorated with lights and the double red "囍" characters on the door indicate that today is a good day.
Look, even before the newlyweds arrived, guests were already congratulating the host.
"Madam Wang, congratulations! Princess Fengning is a noble person and the most beloved princess of the current emperor and the queen. We are so envious that your son has married such a beautiful woman."
Wang Xiang's brows twisted slightly for a moment. Princess Fengning's status was indeed very noble, but it was too noble. He was afraid that Heng'er would not be able to suppress her, and she would have to be the one to be respected in the family in the future.
Wang Xiang had old-fashioned ideas. He thought that no matter how noble a princess was, she should treat her parents-in-law with courtesy and respect like an ordinary woman. That was the female virtue that women should learn.
But, the last time he met Princess Fengning, Princess Fengning stood there quietly, watching him perform the salute. The other princesses were the same, treating their parents-in-law without the slightest bit of gentleness that a daughter-in-law should show...
After thinking so much, the expression on Wang Xiang's face was very appropriate. He bowed towards the direction of the palace with a happy face:
"It is an honor for our Wang family that the Emperor and Empress have chosen our Wang family and want to marry the princess to them!"
"Yes, our Wang family is lucky to have Princess Shang."
Mrs. Wang agreed with what she heard. Their Wang family did benefit. But, thinking of something... She unconsciously clenched the handkerchief in her hand, lowered her head to wipe the corners of her eyes, and pretended to be grateful. No one noticed the forced smile on her face.
"The newcomer is at the door!"
Amid the congratulations from everyone, the flattering voices of the happy boy and servants were heard outside the door.
"Here they come! The princess and the third young master are here!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall sat down obediently, but they couldn't help but look at the newcomer.
Stunning at first sight.
This newlywed couple is a feast for those who love good looks.
The woman is gorgeous, noble and elegant, while the man is handsome, elegant and graceful.
As expected of the bride, Princess Fengning, who was born in the imperial palace, all the things she used for her wedding were lavish. For example, the round fan with gold thread and jade embroidery in her hand, which was used to cover her face, was extremely priceless. Not only that, her wedding dress was even more exquisite and grand, with the lifelike phoenix specially licensed for the royal family on it. It was obvious at a glance that it was made by the best embroiderer in the palace's embroidery pavilion.
Moreover... Everyone swallowed their saliva and looked at the large and translucent oriental pearl on Princess Fengning's phoenix crown. This oriental pearl was the only one offered by the foreign country this year, and the emperor actually gave it to Princess Fengning.
Everyone's eyes were filled with deep emotion, and their admiration for Princess Fengning's favor deepened.
"Prince Wang. It seems that the Emperor is very fond of Princess Fengning. Your Wang family is blessed."
An adult who was sitting not far from the prime minister said with envy.
Wang Xiang said nothing, but just looked at the Dongzhu in silence. In his hand, he unconsciously stroked a cup of tea.
"The auspicious time has come!"
"The newlyweds pay homage to heaven and earth!"
When the newlyweds arrived at the main hall, the emcee called out loudly.
"Worship heaven and earth!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the groom, Mr. Wang San, and the bride faced outside at the same time. The bride did not move, but just held the fan and bowed slightly, while the groom was already kneeling on the ground.
"bye!"
The groom kowtowed firmly.
All the guests watched the newlyweds get married happily. The groom was probably very shy and didn't even look at the bride the whole time.
When the king saw his son kneeling down but the princess not kneeling, a hint of obscurity flashed across his eyes, and an idea that had already solidified in his mind became even more intense.
If today's event is accomplished, all princesses in the world, no matter how noble they are, will have to kneel before their parents-in-law. And he, with this achievement, will also go down in history.
Mrs. Wang looked at her husband with a look of joy on her face. She seemed not to notice that he was distracted. She quickly withdrew her gaze and continued to look at the newlyweds with a satisfied smile.
"Stand up!" The master of ceremonies saw that the newlyweds were ready, and he shouted again: "Bow to your parents!"
"bye!"
The groom knelt down in front of his parents again, but the bride did not move, her back straight.
"Wait a minute."
Just as the groom was about to kowtow, Wang Xiang, who was sitting in the hall, suddenly spoke. Everyone was confused by his voice and subconsciously looked at him.
Wang Xiang did not look at the puzzled eyes of the crowd, but looked at the bride instead. His smile was amiable yet aggressive:
"Princess Fengning, I think that today you and my son are getting married, and you should kneel down and pay respect to your parents-in-law."
When everyone heard this, they were shocked!
Some people even thought that Wang Xiang was crazy.
After all, the princess of Dajing Kingdom is noble and never kneels to her parents-in-law. In the eyes of the world, the princess is the monarch, and no matter which minister she marries, she is marrying down. Therefore, even if the parents-in-law are the parents-in-law, they are also ministers, and the parents-in-law should salute the princess.
"Princess, it is not that I have overstepped my bounds, but that I have considered it carefully." The prime minister did not wait for the young bride to respond, and spoke very quickly and pompously:
"The current emperor is wise and abides by the laws and regulations in every action. The reason why I and your wife accept the princess's kneeling worship is naturally not for our own glory, but to show the virtue of the court."
The groom kneeling on the ground beside him also looked at the bride and said, "Princess, what father said is both polite and reasonable."
The father and son came with a big rack, and the young princess was obviously trapped.
The guests looked at each other in silence. The princess of Dajing was not easy to kneel. But Wang Xiang's words, although a little crooked, but... still made sense.
Your Majesty follows the rules of propriety, and the princess should...
The king didn't look at anyone else but the princess.
During the stalemate, Wang Xiang saw that the princess's hand holding the round fan was tightening, and he felt relieved and smiled: "Princess, the auspicious time is almost over."
The young princess was thin-skinned, and looked annoyed at his rogue look. However, the sudden attack from the prime minister made the usually naive princess unable to resist.
She lowered her eyes. Everyone had been paying attention to the princess. Seeing this scene, they knew that the princess might have compromised.
No one noticed that the moment the princess lowered her eyes and struggled, the annoyance in her eyes quickly disappeared, and she changed silently. When she raised her eyes again, her bright eyes were as calm as water.
Wang Xiang felt something was wrong, and even thought that the princess's eyes were a little scary. He frowned and waved away that thought: "Princess——"
"Prince Prime Minister."
The princess, also known as Sheng Huan, looked towards Wang Xiang. Her expression was gentle, but every word she uttered was about the lives of the Wang family.
"Do you want to share the world with my father, the king and me?"
When Wang Xiang and everyone present heard this, their faces turned pale instantly.
Wang Xiang and Madam Wang could not even sit still and fell to the ground. In an instant, everyone present knelt on the ground.
After all, if the words "The king and I share the world" were spread by someone with ulterior motives, it would be evidence of the Wang family's rebellion.
Wang Xiang's hands and feet were cold, and he cried out that he was wronged: "Princess, please be careful with your words. This old minister and all the Wang family members are loyal to the emperor and Dajing, and we have no second thoughts!"
He looked like this, and there was no trace of the hypocrisy he had just shown.
The others knelt on the ground, and when a few good friends looked at each other, they all felt that Princess Fengning reacted very quickly and was very imposing, worthy of being a princess.
"So that's not the case." Sheng Huan had no idea what everyone was thinking, and a hint of sarcasm flashed across his eyes.
"Princess, you are wise." Wang Xiang was sweating and never dared to underestimate the person in front of him again.
Sheng Huan's eyebrows were faint:
"Then the prime minister should know that I am a princess. The people who can make me kneel in this world are the most noble ones."
She was graceful and noble, and she refuted him with his words: "Moreover, the Prime Minister should also be clear. I am not kneeling to you for my own glory, but to tell the world the duty of being a monarch and a minister."
Sheng Huan's beautiful eyes fell on Wang Xiang, with a meaningful look:
"There should be no distinction between the ruler and the subject. Prime Minister Wang, is this the truth?"
The entire hall was filled with a huge crowd of people kneeling, only the princess in a bright red wedding dress stood proudly.
Wang Xiang looked embarrassed and kowtowed loyally.
"I said the wrong thing. Thank you for your advice, Princess."
The groom, Mr. Wang San, also looked unhappy, but he clenched his fists and endured it, and said nothing.
Mrs. Wang lowered her head, the handkerchief in her hand was about to tear into pieces. Sure enough, after marrying the princess, her youngest son would be suppressed by the princess and could not raise his head. She didn't know whether the princess would be angry with her youngest son, whether she would make him unhappy, or whether she would make things difficult for her husband.
The more Mrs. Wang thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. If she had done that back then, she would have felt endless regret.
If she had agreed to her youngest son marrying...
"It's been so long, I think I've missed the auspicious time."
Just as Mrs. Wang was thinking about this and that, a woman's cold voice sounded in the quiet lobby.
Wang Xiang's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.
Sheng Huan took off the round fan in her hand and sat on the main seat without asking anyone to get up. A sharp-eyed maid hurried over to massage her mistress' legs.
Sheng Huan squinted his eyes in enjoyment, more like a master than his master, and glanced at someone in a lazy posture.
"Master of ceremonies, do you say yes or no?"
The master of ceremonies was called and looked up tremblingly. Seeing the princess's expression, he kowtowed quickly.
"Yes."
"The princess is right. The auspicious time has passed."
Sheng Huan raised his hand: "Since we've missed the auspicious time, let it go."
She stood up lazily: "Someone, go back to the princess's mansion."
