Chapter 243 Mother is mine
Yu Qingli responded calmly, "Thank you, Your Highness. Qingli will definitely abide by her duties and be a good concubine."
Murong Feng smiled as if in the spring breeze, and it was not until this moment that he felt a little relieved.
"I believe in you, Qingli. You will definitely become a good prince's consort."
Yu Qingli nodded slightly, but her eyes were cold. The veil covered her expression so that Murong Feng could not see the hatred in her heart and eyes.
Murong Feng, this has just begun!
At this moment, in the Yu Mansion, Mei Hong ran all the way from the Liuli Residence, not caring if she bumped into anyone. Her big eyes were filled with tears, and her expression was extremely aggrieved. She was unwilling to accept it! She was unwilling to be abandoned in the mansion like this. Obviously, she should have followed the young lady into the palace. What went wrong?
When Meihong rushed out of the door, there was no sign of the convoy. Even the last vehicle transporting the dowry had disappeared without a trace.
Tears immediately rolled down her cheeks, and Meihong fell down at the door in an instant. Her dazzling pink dress was stained with dust, and it became dim in an instant.
Mei Hong clenched her fists, her pointed nails almost digging into her flesh, her palms bleeding, but she seemed to feel no pain at all, only mumbling: "Miss, you lied to me, Miss..."
Seeing this, a servant in the mansion hurried forward to pull Mei Hong away, thinking that she was losing her composure because she was reluctant to see Yu Qingli get married. She couldn't help but comfort her, "Miss Mei Hong, you should be happy. The eldest lady is now the prince's consort. As her former personal maid, shouldn't you feel proud?"
Meihong said nothing, just stared blankly in the direction where the carriage disappeared, tears streaming down her face.
She was unwilling to accept it! Happiness was so close, but it slipped away from her right before her eyes. How could she let it go?
No! The eldest prince is hers. No matter what, she must enter the palace!
Yu Qingli and Murong Feng's carriage drove all the way into the imperial city. There was music and dancing along the way, and it was very lively and grand. Passers-by were very envious.
"The eldest prince and the princess enter the palace..."
As the eunuchs passed on the news along the way, the entire palace began to become lively. The palace musicians began to play and the palace maids also began to get busy.
The wedding was arranged in Ju'an Palace, and Murong Shiling and Queen Li arrived early in the morning.
After entering the palace, Yu Qingli followed all the rules and etiquette with the help of the matchmaker. Even though she had done it once in her previous life, she still felt a little unfamiliar with it.
"The bride jumps over the fire basin, and her life is prosperous and enviable..."
With the end of the last ceremony, Yu Qingli officially entered the palace. The already long palace corridor seemed even longer to Yu Qingli today. Going through all the complicated rules again always made people feel exhausted.
After finally arriving at the inner hall, Yu Qingli felt her legs were weak from walking. However, next, she had to worship heaven and earth, and after that, she had to formally offer sacrifices to heaven and thank the gods before the wedding was considered complete.
Holding the red ribbon in one hand, Yu Qingli looked extremely cold. If someone lifted her veil at this moment, they would probably be frightened by her cold expression.
The other end of the ribbon was held in Murong Feng's hand. He held Yu Qingli's hand and walked slowly forward.
Stepping onto the white jade steps, Murong Feng and Yu Qingli arrived in front of the hall. A red carpet had already been laid on the marble floor, which was very soft to step on.
The palace was already decorated with lights and colorful ornaments, and even the silk flowers were made of the finest brocade to highlight the royal style.
Two gorgeous chairs had been placed in the main hall, one on the left and one on the right. Lifelike dragons and phoenixes were circling on the backs of the chairs, complementing each other and being extremely beautiful.
Murong Shiling was wearing a dark black robe inlaid with gold dragon today. The golden dragon floated as he moved, making it seem alive. Queen Li was wearing a bright red phoenix robe with a golden phoenix spreading its wings at the bottom of the robe, looking majestic and gorgeous.
The emperor and empress sat in the hall, with guests standing on either side coming to offer their congratulations. Most of those who were able to enter the palace for the banquet were officials of the third rank or above. Of course, there were also some relatives of the empress. Although the number of people was not large, it was very lively.
When Yu Qingli and Murong Feng entered the hall hand in hand, they could not help but hear a noise. The wedding had reached the final stage, and only the eunuch master of ceremonies could be heard shouting loudly.
"A worship of heaven and earth..."
"Second worship high hall..."
"couple……"
"Wait a minute!" Before the third shout was finished, a cold and hard voice suddenly sounded from outside the hall, shocking everyone's eardrums.
Following the direction of the voice, I saw Murong Yanhui, dressed in a black robe, standing in front of the hall with a serious and cold expression. His beautiful peach blossom eyes were full of determination.
Murong Yanhui was holding a delicate and pretty child in his hand. The child's chubby face was reflected in a light blue brocade dress, making it look dazzling and very touching.
Everyone couldn't help but discuss, who is this child? Why is he with Murong Yanhui?
Murong Feng's expression was somewhat grim, but he couldn't get angry because of the crowd. Was everything going wrong today? Why did Murong Yanhui suddenly appear in the hall?
Murong Shiling also found it a bit strange, but he also helped Murong Feng to speak up, "Seventh brother, what are you doing? Even if you want to ask for wedding wine, you should wait until the wedding is over, right? You're calling a halt halfway through. What are you trying to do?"
Murong Yan looked back at Murong Shiling as if it was a matter of course, his eyes burning without any dodging, "I am only here to help my son find his mother, so why not? My royal brother, Yu Qingli cannot marry Murong Feng, because she is already my woman."
Murong Yan replied calmly, but Murong Feng was furious. "Little Uncle, what do you want to do? Today is my wedding day. Are you trying to cause trouble?"
Murong Yanhui gave a devilish smile, which made Murong Feng feel frightened. Yu Qingli, who was standing beside him, was also speechless. What on earth did Murong Yanhui want to do? Why did he appear here at this time?
Although, she actually felt a little more happy about his appearance in her heart.
Joy? It was so confusing. She should be worried. I hope this man showing up now won't ruin her plans!
Murong Yanhui winked at the little figure beside her, and the child ran to Yu Qingli and hugged her legs. His big eyes were full of tears, which broke people's hearts.
"Mother, I am Yue'er. Mother, why don't you want us anymore? Father and I miss you every day. Mother belongs to Yue'er and cannot marry anyone else!"
Murong Yue performed with tears and snot, and this scene caused an uproar in the eyes of everyone.
At this point, even Murong Shiling felt a little uneasy and asked in a stern voice, "Prince Yan, what is going on? Where did this child come from?"
Before Murong Yanhui could reply, Murong Yue shouted to Murong Shiling, "Uncle Emperor, Yue'er is of course the daughter of my father and mother. Please forgive my rudeness. I have never paid my respects to you, Uncle Emperor."
Murong Shiling couldn't possibly be bothered with such matters as this with a child. He could only feel the veins in his forehead throbbing. A son? He had known Murong Yanhui for so many years, how come he didn't know he had a son? Were those secret guards just there to do nothing? They had been monitoring Prince Yan for so many years, yet they didn't even notice he had a son?!
Ridiculous! This is absolutely ridiculous!
Murong Shiling's eyes were cold, and there was a hint of warning in his gaze towards Murong Yanhui. "Prince Yan, I want your explanation."
Murong Yanhui had a nonchalant expression on his face, "Royal brother, there's nothing to explain. It's just love between a man and a woman. Having a child is a perfectly normal thing, right?"
"You..." Murong Shiling was furious. What kind of explanation was this? As far as he knew, hadn't the King of Yan met Yu Qingli when he went to Luoyang with Yu Zhengsha? Why would such a big child suddenly appear now?
Murong Yue hugged Yu Qingli's thighs tightly and refused to let go. This little rascal came up with such an idea when he was sighing and feeling sad yesterday. With this little rascal taking action, there would be no problem.
Murong Feng's expression grew increasingly unhappy. In anger, he yanked Yu Qingli's veil. "Yu Qingli, explain to me what exactly is going on. Why did you and the little uncle suddenly have a child?"
Looking at the mischievous Murong Yue, Yu Qingli closed her eyes with a headache. She knew without thinking that this was probably Murong Yanhui's intention. She never expected that he would use a child to make her submit.
Yu Qingli took a deep breath and said seriously, "Your Highness, don't you see that this child looks like he's already four or five years old? No matter what, it's impossible for Qingli to have given birth to this child four or five years ago, right?"
After hearing what Yu Qingli said, Murong Feng felt that it was very reasonable. Thinking about it carefully, four or five years ago, Yu Qingli was only eleven or twelve years old. Isn't this a bit of a stretch?
At this moment, Murong Yue's chubby face suddenly wrinkled into a ball, and then she burst into tears. Although she was crying, her words were very clear: "Mother, mother is mine, I don't want mother to get married, wuwuwu..."
This situation is really unbelievable no matter how you look at it.
Murong Yanhui took a step forward, eyes full of affection, and said, "Lili, even if it's not for the sake of our relationship, for the sake of our child, you shouldn't marry someone else so easily, right?"
Yu Qingli bit her silver teeth almost to pieces, "Murong Yanhui, what exactly do you want to do? Don't go too far!"
"Lili, didn't I tell you this? As long as you return to me, I will love you alone for the rest of my life. There will only ever be one mistress in Prince Yan's mansion!"
The ministers whispered to each other. Today's wedding was really full of incidents, each one more shocking than the last. It made people wonder what was going on. What was the truth behind the matter?
