Thank Your Majesty for Your Favor (Part Four)
Yin Shuo could remain calm and cool in front of others, but he could not muster any of that in front of her.
He was like a young man who had just fallen in love, not knowing how to act, “Yu Fu, I clearly just told you…”
Yu Fu summoned an image of Princess DanYang’s usual demeanor and copied it, jutting up her chin to look at Yin Shuo with a provocative look in her eyes.
“What a joke. In any case, I am someone who was personally conferred the title of princess by His Majesty. You repeatedly say that you want to marry me, yet you are going to marry someone else. Do you want me to be a concubine? I’ll tell you that as long as you marry Princess DanYang today, don’t even come close to me in the future!”
He had known her for quite some time, but this was the first time that he had ever seen her act so ruthlessly and willfully. A strange new feeling filled Yin Shuo’s heart.
She still cared about him. That was why she did not like that he was marrying Princess DanYang.
Yu Fu saw him lower his head in silence and thought that she had been too successful in imitating Princess DanYang, instantly making Yin Shuo dislike her, and she quietly rejoiced.
“Prime Minister Yin, Princess ZhenJiang, it’s time for the ceremony. Please return to the main hall!”
Outside the garden, a palace servant bowed and invited the two of them to return. Yu Fu turned around to look at Yin Shuo, and he suddenly lifted his head with a smile on his face.
Immediately after this, he strode toward the main hall.
That smile did not look like there was any hatred, and Yu Fu quietly thought to herself that this was bad, “Could it be that I went too far and pushed him to have no choice but to ask His Majesty for the wedding to be canceled? This is bad. Haven’t I just picked up a stone and dropped it on my foot!”
She regretted her actions and did not even have someone to discuss this with. Her fourth brother, who was still in the capital, remained in the manor to take care of some work.
Forget it, she would go to the main hall first and see what would happen.
The imperial family’s weddings were far more complicated than those of the common folk. A wedding official dressed in red directed all of the participants to where they should be standing.
Because there were two couples getting married, the scene was even more complicated.
“Yu Fu, come over here.”
Yu Fu suddenly heard someone call to her. It turned out that it was the eldest prince, who was standing at the lead position of the princes. He was currently waving for her to come over.
The second prince was a little slow to notice Yu Fu, and he was annoyed to have lost out to the eldest prince again until he noticed a golden glow on Yu Fu’s head, “Sister Yu Fu, you wore the accessory that I gave you?”
Yu Fu was thinking about the matter with Yin Shuo and was momentarily shocked from being pulled to the second prince’s side.
The eldest prince was quite displeased by how he intercepted her along the way, “What accessories did you give to Yu Fu?”
Yu Fu being willing to wear accessories that he had given her made it clear that she was willing to acknowledge him, and the second prince’s mood greatly improved, “Hm, I had a jeweler made a set of head ornaments for Yu Fu. Yu Fu’s only wearing a hairpin, but she still looks very good.”
It was only now that Yu Fu was able to react, “Oh, there were two princesses getting married today, so it wasn’t convenient to wear the phoenix hairpin, but it also couldn’t be too plain. This hairpin was both a fitting color and not too plain, so I chose to wear this.”
“Sister Yu Fu looks really good with it and would surely look even better wearing the full set.”
The second prince had a fawning look on his face, and the eldest prince rolled his eyes at him, “Second brother’s choice of words is incorrect. Yu Fu chose to only wear a hairpin to avoid stealing the attention from the two brides. If she wore the full set, would it not make the two brides look quite bad?”
The second prince sneered with contempt then looked at Yu Fu’s clothes. Compared to the wedding clothes of the two brides, she was even more eye-catching, and he was quite stunned by the sight.
“Your Majesty.”
The two couples were in position, and the wedding official was preparing to carry out the first rite when Yin Shuo suddenly spoke up.
Emperor Ning was in the middle of telling his imperial uncle a joke and waved his hand, “Prime minister, what is it? Today is a day of celebration. If you have something to say, hurry up and say it. Don’t miss the auspicious hour.”
Yu Fu’s heart tightened, fearing that Yin Shuo would take her words seriously. She was completely oblivious to the way that the second prince looked at her.
Yin Shuo looked over in her direction.
In that direction, there were princes and princesses. Others also noticed his gaze but did not know which prince or princess hew as looking at.
Standing at his side, Princess DanYang felt a little expectant.
She quietly said: “The first rite still has not been performed. There’s still time for you to regret it. If you don’t speak now, it will be too late!”
Her voice was so quiet that only the two couples could hear it.
Upon hearing what she said, Kun YuYang subconsciously glanced over at uncle Ning, and the latter gave a sly smile.
The tips of her fingers felt warm, and she immediately realized that he had grabbed her hand. This made her feel reliant but also embarrassed.
Regardless of what was happening between Princess DanYang and Yin Shuo, they just needed to take care of themselves.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Yin Shuo. Yu Fu was worried, Emperor Ning was imposing, and Princess DanYang was hopeful.
Most people were waiting to watch an entertaining drama unfold. They wanted to see what would happen between Princess DanYang and Yin Shuo, this couple that seemed to get along but was actually quite conflicted…
What to choose, whether to say it or not, Yin Shuo carried an immense burden.
After a moment of silence, the image of Yin Yan leaving the capital on a snowy day in a small carriage appeared in his mind.
No, he could not say it.
He could not neglect everything. He could not waste the protection that Yin Yan had provided him. He could not allow the Yin family’s generations of work to be ruined by his feelings.
Emperor Ning was a little annoyed, “Hm?”
He dragged this out quite a bit, both waiting and annoyed, but it was mostly a threatening tone.
After a long time, Yin Shuo turned to Emperor Ning.
“Your Majesty, this subject just wanted to thank Your Majesty once more for your favor and thank Your Majesty for engaging Princess DanYang to this subject. For this subject to be able to marry Princess DanYang is this subject’s good fortune.”
