Second Marriage

Time flew by like an arrow. There were only five days left until Xiao Youning and Ye Shen were to be married.

On this day, Ye Shen suddenly came to the Marquis Residence with a basket of grapes. He said that it had just been sent to the palace, and the Emperor rewarded him with it.

Xiao Youning looked at the round grapes and smiled at him. “Did you want to see me before our wedding, or did you just really want to send over some grapes?”

Like a little fox, she smiled slyly and couldn’t be more delicate.

Ye Shen’s Adam’s apple moved. He lowered his head and quickly kissed her lips. “I wanted to see you.”

His voice was hoarse for a moment.

Xiao Youning’s eyes curved as she giggled. She leaned softly onto his shoulder and said, ”Be good, I’m going to marry you soon!”

She coaxed him with a gentle tone, but Ye Shen nodded thoughtfully and said, “There are still four and a half days to go.”

He made her giggle so much that she was bending over.

Ye Shen didn’t have too many things he had to wait for to come true in his life, but now he was having a hard time waiting, and he really felt tormented.

In the midst of his suffering, their marriage day finally arrived.

It was not even dawn when Xiao Youning was giving out orders. Her wedding clothes were all made by the sewing department in the palace, so it was very luxurious and detailed.

The style was very formal to her, but Ye Shen said only she could wear it since it held the Emperor’s good intentions.

The magnificent wedding dress made the bride glow with beauty. Xiao Youning looked at herself in the makeup mirror and could not stop staring. It amused the bridal chaperones, they covered their mouths and laughed together.

Compared to Xiao Youning, Ye Shen’s side was worrisome.

Old Master Ye was unwilling to allow him to marry in the Ye Residence, but Ye Shen walked around that issue. He later learned that Ye Shen was going to marry Marquis Ningyuan’s daughter, the woman who was once married to his grandson. He was so angry that he went directly to the Emperor about it. He caused such a racket that Eldest Master Ye brought him back and locked him up.

Between not following filial piety and disrespecting the Emperor’s decree, Eldest Master Ye would certainly choose the former.

Previously, no one knew that Ye Shen had left the Ye Family, and the wedding banquet would not be held at the Ye Family’s home. When the invitations were sent out, everyone saw that the residence where the banquet was to be held was actually at the previous prince’s mansion. They all found this very strange.

Although Eldest Master Ye was the elder brother, he received the invitation a day before his younger brother was to be married. He rushed to the former prince’s house early in the morning to ask his younger brother what was going on.

Ye Shen was wearing the wedding robes. When he heard the question, he only replied indifferently that it was a gift from his Majesty. This shocked Eldest Master Ye, and he did not speak for a long time. Immediately after that, the female relatives of the Ye Family came to the door. Ye Shen had not invited these people. They all came after hearing the news. If his mother did not say that today was a day of great joy, and that he should not be angry and control his temper, he would have beaten them out.

The chaotic relatives of the Ye Family made Ye Shen unhappy. But Eldest Madam Ye took control over the situation and led the female servants to force the relatives out of the rooms and made them leave. She did not allow them to cause any troubles in front of Old Madam Ye, and this improved Ye Shen’s mood.

The wedding banquets during this dynasty were held at dusk, when it was the most auspicious time of the day. Ye Shen rode on a tall horse holding the red silk, and followed the wedding group to escort the bride to the Marquis Residence.

There was a lot of joy and excitement along the way. Many people stopped on the street to take a look, while others followed the procession to Marquis Ningyuan’s Residence. They discussed the wonderful destiny between the Xiao Family’s Young Miss and Ye Shen on the way.

People always love to idolize these kinds of things. It makes their meeting even more perfect, and matches their idea of what has happened. Therefore, the love between Xiao Youning and Ye Shen had been idolized, and it was almost possible to turn their story into a play.

Xiao Youning, who was waiting to be married, unaware that those excited people outside were being held back by bridal chaperones and mamas from the palace. When she heard the cheers from outside, she was taken to her father to kowtow to him.

When it was announced that the son-in-law had arrived, Marquis Ningyuan was holding onto his daughter without uttering a word. He rushed to put the veil on his daughter and questioned angrily, “Who let him in so quickly?”

Ye Shen ended up looking up. He was surrounded by sons of powerful families, what’s more even the Crown Prince was among them. Who would dare to stop such a procession?!
