Chapter 673: Slapping Him at the Zhao King’s Wedding Banquet
When Baili Moqing and Shu He arrived, Shen Ziyan had already been welcomed into the mansion and was about to get married.
"Seventh Brother! Seventh Sister-in-law!" Baili Rushu was the first person to see them. She trotted out from the main hall, "Why are you so late? The auspicious time is almost over!"
The auspicious time has passed, which means the temple has already been worshipped. If they show up at that time, they will probably be criticized.
Baili Moqing's eyes fell on Shu He, as if to say, "Then you should ask your seventh sister-in-law!"
Baili Rushu looked at Shu He in confusion.
"Ahem!" Shu He touched his nose, a look of embarrassment appearing on his face.
At this moment, the emcee's singing voice rang out.
"The auspicious time has come!"
Baili Rushu turned around and looked at him, her face showing excitement, "Sister-in-law Qi, hurry up, the wedding ceremony has begun!"
Shu He was dragged along by Baili Rushu, and even took the time to glare at Baili Moqing.
Shen Ziyan, dragging her long red dress, entered the main hall under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
It's better to come early than to come by coincidence.
Although Lao Ba was not a good person, marriage was a happy event after all. No matter how big the hatred was, Shu He and Baili Moqing would not choose to make trouble for others on this day.
Of course, except Shu Yue!
With the master of ceremonies’ shouting and singing, the wedding ceremony ended quickly.
A crowd of people were joking and clamoring to see the true appearance of Princess Zhao.
Shen Ziyan came from Beidi, and she was not very satisfied with Tianqi's "covering the face at marriage" etiquette. Now, hearing that everyone wanted to see her true face, she immediately put down the Golden Phoenix Wedding Fan in her hand, smiled openly and looked at everyone.
Suddenly, the auditorium was filled with praises from the crowd.
Shen Ziyan also enjoyed the praise from these "foreigners", and her charming face was stained with a bit of complacency and pride.
However, she didn't know that her behavior had caused the face of Zhao Wang Baili Moqi next to her to change.
According to the customs of Tianqi, the wedding fan in the bride's hand must be taken away by the groom himself!
But Shen Ziyan didn't wait for him to make a move, and took off the wedding fan herself, letting another man see the first side of her newlywed face!
So next time, can she even show her body to other men?
"Why don't you send the princess to the bridal chamber? What are you waiting for?!"
Baili Moqi's slightly unhappy voice made the men and women who were making a fuss stop talking.
Shen Ziyan's face froze, and she glanced at Baili Moqi with dissatisfaction, as if questioning something.
Baili Moqi didn't give any explanation at all and asked his servants to send her to the bridal chamber.
According to the customs of Tianqi, when the bride enters the bridal chamber, the groom must follow her to complete the ceremony of drinking the wedding wine, and then come out to thank the guests.
But Baili Moqi did not follow Shen Ziyan. Instead, he stared straight at Shu He and walked towards Baili Moqing and the others.
Everyone thought that King Zhao came to say hello because he saw Prince Li coming, so they didn't pay too much attention to it.
"Seventh Brother, Seventh Sister-in-law, you are a little late."
A smile appeared on his face, and in his eyes, which seemed to be a normal greeting, there was a hint of unusual scrutiny.
Baili Moqing smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
He put his right arm around Shu He's shoulders and held Shu He's hand with his left hand, with a look of love and doting on his face.
"I'm so sorry, your sister-in-law was exhausted last night, and I wanted her to rest more, so I came a little late."
Baili Moqi's eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile on his face became much stiffer.
Brother Seven is too childish. Will this stimulate him?
However, Shu He also reached out and put her arm around Baili Moqing's waist, a hint of shyness on her face, "Your Highness, what are you talking about?!"
This delicate voice made Baili Moqing's body tremble slightly, and also made Baili Moqi's face completely gloomy.
Is she taking advantage of his interest in her to deliberately disgust him?
Shu He looked at him, as if he heard his inner voice, and replied: Yes, it’s just to disgust you, so what?
"Your Highness Prince Zhao, your wedding is so grand, but the formalities aren't complete yet! You should go see the bride! Otherwise, Princess Zhao will be furious!"
"It would be very unlucky to make the bride unhappy on the first day of her wedding!"
"You don't want your home to be in turmoil and your life to be unhappy, do you?"
She smiled, looking joking.
His expression was grim, and the smile on his face turned into coldness.
Oh, it really is a rose with thorns!
It’s such a pity that such an interesting rose is with Brother Seven, that unromantic and dull guy!
What a waste!
He said jokingly, "Sister-in-law, my Seventh Brother has a bad temper. Most people can't stand it. Instead of worrying about whether my life in Prince Zhao's Mansion is harmonious, why don't you worry about whether you can live a good life in the future?! Haha..."
"Snapped!"
A loud slap echoed in the auditorium, scaring all the guests who had not yet left and making their faces turn pale.
Baili Moqi tilted his face slightly, his expression full of shock.
He actually slapped him in the face in front of everyone at his wedding banquet!
"What's going on? Today is the day of Prince Zhao's wedding. Why would Prince Li suddenly attack Prince Zhao?"
"I don't know. I just saw the two princes talking and laughing. Why did they suddenly become like this?"
Someone in the crowd started talking.
"His Royal Highness Prince Li has always been well-mannered and polite. To do something like this in public, could it be that His Royal Highness Prince Zhao did something bad that angered Prince Li?"
"Yeah, I think so! His Royal Highness Prince Zhao's temper has long been known in Kyoto. He is known to be a playboy and unreasonable! He must have made some mistake to make His Royal Highness Prince Li so angry!"
Baili Moqi heard the discussions in the crowd and swept over with a cold and sinister look, which immediately silenced the crowd. The crowd's eyes narrowed and they dared not look at him again.
He couldn't find anyone to talk to, so he gritted his teeth and waited for Baili Moqing, "You..."
"Eighth brother, you also said that Seventh Brother has a bad temper. Next time when you speak, you should be more careful!"
Baili Moqing sneered, his eyes full of threats, "Also, Princess Li is your seventh sister-in-law. When you speak to her from now on, please remember your identity!"
"Otherwise, next time, Brother Seven won't just give you a slap!"
Baili Moqi was burning with anger. He really didn't expect that the seventh brother, who was always polite and knew when to advance and retreat, would actually attack him in public for Shu He!
Could it be that he really fell in love with Shu He?
He was about to speak, but before he could utter a word, he saw Shu He leaning against Baili Moqing's arms, "Your Highness, don't be angry. The Eighth Prince is probably just envious of our harmonious relationship."
"Just now, Princess Zhao took the wedding fan without permission, and His Royal Highness Prince Zhao was already unhappy. If you treat him like this again, won't he lose face even more?"
"He's our younger brother after all, so we should be more tolerant of him!"
Baili Moqing's eyes changed color, a sly smile appeared in his eyes, and he nodded in agreement: "My beloved concubine is right, then let's just consider that my eighth brother is still young, and I won't bother with him!"
People in their twenties are still young?
Someone in the crowd couldn't help but chuckle.
Shu He couldn't hide the smile in his eyes, and immediately leaned closer to Baili Moqing's chest again.
"Wow! Prince Li and Princess Li are such a perfect match! They're simply a perfect match!"
"Yes! In the past, people in Kyoto said that Princess Li was fat, ugly, and stupid, but now it seems that Princess Li is clearly a fairy from heaven!"
"I've never seen such an extraordinary temperament in anyone else!"
"That's right! From what I've seen, the Princess of Li is a thousand times more beautiful than Princess Zi Yan of Beidi!"
