Chapter 358 - Ling Fengyan's Plot about the Bridal Sedan Chairs
Chapter 358 Ling Fengyan’s Plot about the Bridal Sedan Chairs
King Xuan’s Manor had smoothly sent the newly-wed into the bridal chamber.
However, King Yan’s Manor and King Chu’s Manor weren’t that lucky.
King Chu’s Manor’s bridal sedan chair was carried into the manor and it was the auspicious time for the three bows. Just when they were about to bow to each other, Marquess Mingguo suddenly ran over, grabbed the bride’s hand and called her sister, which immediately startled the audience. Mingguo Manor’s first miss married King Yan; how was she carried into King Chu’s Manor? The red bridal veil was pulled off by the shocked Feng Yuxuan. Under the bridal veil, You Yue’e’s face shocked everyone present.
They had carried the wrong bride!
What to do? Before the people recovered from the shock, another question arose. Where’s King Chu’s bride now?
The guests had all heard of what happened at the crossroad. Three princes’ wedding processions had suffered an assassination. Luckily, the princes were all fine, and everyone just took it as a joke. Though they guessed who could have done this, after all, nothing big happened; they had been discussing it in a light tone.
However, now, something like this happened, which was no less severe than assassinating princes.
It was directly a slap in the imperial family’s face.
In Great Qin’s capital, on such an auspicious day when three Great Qin’s three princes got married, it was such a shame that they had carried the wrong bride.
A prince’s main and second consorts had all been recorded in the imperial family. They couldn’t change however they wanted. Plus, it was about such a thing. If they changed it, it would prove the scandal.
On the spot, Feng Yuxuan’s face blackened. He didn’t say anything to anyone and just tossed away the big red flower ball, having people prepare a horse for him and directly rushing to King Yan’s Manor.
You Yuecheng slightly hesitated and again pulled on the red bridal veil for the startled and lost You Yue’e, asking the matron of honor to help her into the bridal sedan chair. The sedan chair was lifted up again and they headed for King Yan’s Manor, while he personally rode on the horse to escort.
On the other side, because King Yan’s Manor had been close, Feng Yulei was the first to receive the bridal sedan chair. They had already performed the three bows and then went into the bridal chamber.
People didn’t know if King Yan had been drunk, because after they went into the bridal chamber, he only allowed the matron of honor to have said a few auspicious words and then drove all of them away.
He closed the door and turned around. Without lifting the bridal veil, he directly held the person under the bridal veil. Only lifting half of the bridal veil, he excitedly kissed the person’s face under the bridal veil. In the end, he seized the pink and soft cherry lips and kissed her hard. Under the bridal veil were the cherry lips he had longed for. They were soft, just like how they felt when the two people secretly kissed beside the garden’s artificial hills. She was also almost out of breath from the kiss.
Under the red bridal veil, Ling Fengyan felt elated, feeling the man’s heavy breath streaking across her ear. The softening and comfortable feeling made her shake all over her body. However, she felt eased at heart. She didn’t expect King Xuan to be so anxious. As expected, he was just like the person in the rumor. Even before lifting the bridal veil, he was already acting like this. Subconsciously, she kissed him back. The same excitement made her heart shake.
She had already planned this. As long as she succeeded at this, even if Mo Xuetong came back to King Xuan’s Manor, Mo Xuetong couldn’t compare to her, who had performed the three bows and been carried into the bridal chamber in front of everyone. Mo Xuetong would at most be a second consort. In the future, she could do whatever she wanted to Mo Xuetong. Mo Xuetong’s life would be in her hands. Plus, when something like this happened, it was not her fault, so she could explain herself to her aunt, the Empress. She wouldn’t marry into King Chu’s Manor as the spy of her aunt, the Empress, and wouldn’t marry King Yan, who had adored her for a long time either. No one could guess that she secretly plotted this. Though her eldest brother was a chatterbox, he wouldn’t make mistakes about such a big thing. His men didn’t know the purpose of the assassination either.
Earlier when the bridal sedan chairs crashed into each other, the maidservant who had followed Ling Fengyan dashed to King Xuan’s sedan chair. As long as she said the sedan chair was King Yan’s Manor’s and then signaled at the maidservant who followed the sedan chair, hers would be King Xuan’s Manor’s. To keep it fair, the Imperial Household Department had made the three bridal sedan chairs look equally fancy. No one could top the others, and they were made according to the same specifications.
Assassination took place at the crossroad. The bridal sedan chairs toppled and were in chaos. No one could tell who it belonged to. Furthermore, brides in the bridal sedan chairs couldn’t talk. They could only tell which family it belonged to according to the maidservant standing outside the sedan chair. Ling Fengyan wanted to marry into King Xuan’s Manor. At some point, the handsome and charming King Xuan had walked into her heart.
He could make her heart burn hotter than King Yan did, who was her decade-long childhood sweetheart.
Of course, the thing was in need of her plotting. In any way, it was a nice move.
On the one hand, she could marry the man she loved; on the other hand, she didn’t need to marry into King Yan’s Manor to become the Empress’s pawn. The thought grew hotter in Ling Fengyan’s heart day by day and also stirred her heart, making her unable to wait for one more day.
She would never want other women to marry Feng Yuxuan and to see other women accompanying him. He was incomparably handsome and she was unprecedentedly beautiful. It would be most suitable for the two of them to be together. The third girl from the Mo family was just an immature kid. “What has she got to compete with me?” With her body shape and face, she believed King Xuan would definitely be seduced by her, a top beauty, just by looking at her.
She had always only enjoyed men’s obsessions and always looked down at men from above. Since when did she fail to get a man she wanted? In Ling Fengyan’s life, there was no such word as rejected! Therefore, she had planned every step clearly and thought she had seen through everyone’s heart.
As long as the die was cast, with her status, she would not fail Feng Yuran. The Emperor would definitely find a solution for her. With her being a victim, and Ding General Manor as her backing, the position of King Xuan’s main consort would only be hers. While proudly thinking like that, she leaned closely in Feng Yulei’s arms. Even behind the red bridal veil, her hand had involuntarily reached out to respond to his hug.
Feeling Ling Fengyan’s enthusiasm and passion, King Yan’s passionate love seemed to suddenly find an outlet. Ling Fengyan only felt her blood on fire.
Though she had gotten intimate with Feng Yulei in the past, she still acted according to the rules for the ladies from the noble families and didn’t do anything too out of line. Even if last time, when she was pulled behind the artificial hills and kissed by Feng Yulei, she wasn’t paying attention and so she let Feng Yulei succeed. Then, she immediately slapped Feng Yulei in the face ruthlessly and then left. After that, she didn’t meet with Feng Yulei in private for one time.
However, now, all she wanted was to become Feng Yuran’s woman and made the die cast early. Thinking about Mo Xuetong’s desperate eyes later or the possibility that Mo Xuetong couldn’t handle the shock and directly bumped into a wall to commit suicide, she couldn’t suppress the excitement in her heart. Therefore, she didn’t care about the rules and just followed her senses, unable to resist him. Plus, she didn’t want to either.
Feeling her response, Feng Yulei acted more rashly. Now he had only one thought, which was to swallow down the girl before his eyes, who he had been missing day and night. To hell with the Empress’s rules or Ding General Manor’s acting arbitrarily to marry her into King Chu’s Manor, he only wanted to eat her inch by inch now.
From now on, he wanted her to be his woman and stand at the high place with him.
He didn’t expect happiness to come so soon. Originally, he thought he could at most secretly be with her in this life. However, now, he could publicly perform the three bows with her. Feng Yulei was so excited that he jerked his hand; the red bridal veil was tossed by the side. Under the bridal veil, Ling Fengyan’s pretty face carried a blush, looking exceptionally delicate and charming.
With her eyes closed, she really looked very attractive, which made it hard for Feng Yulei, who had been wholeheartedly missing her, to suppress his feelings.
At this moment, even time seemed to stop…
Bang! Thump! The door was suddenly kicked open. In the same red wedding robe, Feng Yuxuan stood in front of the door with a dark face, his usually gentle face darkened. Looking at the two people in disheveled clothes in the room, he felt his veins on his forehead bulging. He clenched his fists and felt furious.
Anyone would find it hard to bear when they saw their wife-to-be seductively lying in another man’s arms with her clothes unbuttoned.
The two people in the room were now in a really awkward situation.
The man’s hand reached onto the woman’s body, while the woman’s hand also improperly reached out at the man’s waist. Her red and swollen cheery lips because of the kisses and her face with desire all showed how she felt right now…
Perhaps she had let it all out just now, Ling Fengyan couldn’t collect herself now, staring blankly at Feng Yuxuan and some ladies and misses who followed him to warm up the bridal chamber, at a total loss for what had happened.
Feng Yulei, nevertheless, immediately realized. After the shock, he calmed down and tidied his clothes. He lowered his voice to say, somewhat awkward. “Brother…”
Feng Yuxuan was so enraged that he almost slapped him in the face. He roared. “Do you still see me as your brother? A younger brother has taken advantage of his elder brother’s wife. Third brother, we’ll meet at Father’s place later.”
Any man couldn’t suppress it down when he became a cuckold.
It was not about him liking his wife or not; it was about a man’s image. Being an official prince, he should have suffered so much. Feng Yuxuan couldn’t keep his gentle mask anymore.
Feng Yulei covered his face after the hit. “Brother, I don’t know what happened…” At this time, he also became flustered. Though he had been calm at usual, after this kind of thing, he couldn’t explain it. After the passion just now, he found things went wrong. If they really took it to Father, what should he do? A few days ago, Father had just scolded him and then sent two second consorts into his manor. If Father found something like this happened today, what should he do?
Watching the two brothers, Feng Yulei and Feng Yuxuan, talking, Ling Fengyan finally collected herself. Then, she looked at the people who stared closely at her. Among them, there were women and men. She immediately fastened her clothes and involuntarily shrieked. “Ahh!”
The sharp voice attracted both of the two.
Ling Fengyan shrieked, grabbed her clothes, and shrank back. “King Yan, how, how was it you?” She was really terrified. If he was not Feng Yuran, why was he Feng Yulei?
Being dazed at her question and seeing her indifferent but hateful and fearful look after seeing him, Feng Yulei also felt a little angry and immediately asked in reply, “Should it be anyone else if it wasn’t me?”
Now, Ling Fengyan was really scared. “How was it you, how was it you!” She had clearly planned to marry King Xuan, Feng Yuran, but why did it turn out to be King Yan? Moreover, looking at what happened before her eyes, she found that King Chu discovered it, while she should be hugging and kissing with Feng Yulei in disheveled clothes.
She couldn’t explain herself in any way!
Feng Yulei gritted his teeth, asking, “Why was it not me? Who did you want it to be if it wasn’t me?”
Thinking about Ling Fengyan’s previous taking the initiative and passion, which he had never felt before, Feng Yulei felt jealousy surging up. “She didn’t want me. So could it be that she’s responding so passionately for another man, Feng Yuxuan?”
Thinking about how she struggled under him just now with another man on her mind, Feng Yulei showed his anger on his face. He suddenly walked there and wanted to lift up Ling Fengyan to make her say who she thought it was just now.
At this time, Feng Yuxuan finally calmed down. He coldly stared at Ling Fengyan, who was grabbing her clothes and crying at the corner of the walls. A trace of coldness flashed across his eyes. He ignored her, turned around, and strode outside.
“Men, prepare the horse. I’m going to the palace.”
Inside, Feng Yulei, who originally wanted to argue with Ling Fengyan, didn’t feel jealous at all now. Thinking about being scolded by Father, he found all of his desires gone. He slightly tided his robe, ignored Ling Fengyan, and run out to have people prepare a horse for him to go to the palace.
Before Ling Fengyan stood up again, You Yue’e, the real King Yan’s consort, also arrived. Different from the two princes, the moment she entered the bridal chamber and saw Ling Fengyan curl up at the corner of the bed in disheveled clothes, she directly pulled off her bridal veil. Despite the maidservants’ tugging and stopping around her, she directly gave Ling Fengyan two slaps in the face.
She almost wanted to tear Ling Fengyan apart with her gaze. She angrily cursed. “Slut!”
When a man became a cuckold, he would be angry. When a woman thought her husband-to-be should be screwing around with another woman in the bridal chamber, an inexplicable flame of fury would surge up. Furthermore, it became known to everyone; how could You Yue’e bear it?
“Slut. You couldn’t even suppress it after just being sent into the bridal chamber. You’re a miss from Ding General Manor. What a shame for Ding General Manor.”
The two slaps hit her so hard that Ling Fengyan lost her sense of direction and fell down. You Yue’e stood at a high place and coldly said. If the slut hadn’t been so anxious, they would at most have just performed the three bows. How could it be like this now? At that moment, she felt sullen and walked up to kick Ling Fengyan again. At this time, Ling Fengyan’s maidservants also arrived and ran over to protect Ling Fengyan.
At that time, inside King Yan’s bridal chamber, maidservants from Ding General Manor and Mingguo Manor were fighting each other.
