Chapter 1261 - 46: The Debt of Joy (Part 22)_3
On the next day, it was the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion’s day to host a supplementary wedding feast.
At the break of dawn, the maids and women in the kitchen started their busy day.
Su Yang, just like usual, got up and practiced his horse stance. The wedding day was no different from any other day for him; he was that disciplined.
It’s the wedding maid who really had a hard time.
Mrs. Tang invited Lady Quanfu to dress up Princess Yinchuan, but Princess Yinchuan’s face was sunburned and hadn’t improved yet.
Lady Quanfu was stunned when she saw Princess Yinchuan’s face.
How was she supposed to help with the dressing up?
Lady Quanfu tried her best to help Princess Yinchuan with whitening, but the powder was applied layer after layer, so thick that Princess Yinchuan couldn’t bear it anymore and didn’t want to struggle. As soon as she opened her mouth, the powder on her face started falling off like dust.
She was dressed in red, so the white powder falling off appeared even more conspicuous.
Princess Yinchuan, "..."
Lady Quanfu, "..."
Inside the bedroom, the atmosphere suddenly became very awkward.
Princess Yinchuan was embarrassed, but Lady Quanfu who was helping apply the powder was even more embarrassed.
The more powder she applied, the more it suggested she felt Princess Yinchuan’s skin was dark.
Lady Quanfu wished she could return to the day Mrs. Tang asked her to help and slap herself unconscious, then refuse.
Through the copper mirror in front of her, Princess Yinchuan looked at Lady Quanfu’s helpless expression and said, "It’s okay to be a bit darker."
If the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion rejected her due to her dark skin, it would have been just what she wanted.
Lady Quanfu also felt that using so much powder was unreasonable.
Now that it’s still quite hot, sitting inside the palanquin, traveling through the streets, the heat would cause sweat to form on the cheeks, making the thick layer of powder clump and fall off?
When the veil is lifted, wouldn’t it scare the groom to death?
Lady Quanfu quickly instructed the maid to bring water to help Princess Yinchuan wash her face and reapply the makeup.
By the time they finished, half an hour had passed.
Princess Yinchuan sat on the bed wearing the phoenix crown and wedding robe, waiting for the palanquin to come and escort her.
At the appointed hour, Su Yang came riding on horseback, and the swelling from the bee stings was no longer visible; he was lively and handsome, exuding an extraordinary aura.
In front of the palace, Ninth Prince, Shen Xing, and Zhao Duan were standing there.
Clearly, they were the road blockers.
Their faces still showed the swelling from the bee stings.
Seeing Su Yang, they were all stunned.
They’d all been stung by bees, but the worst affected should have been Su Yang, with them being slightly better off.
Their faces hadn’t healed, yet Su Yang had recovered completely?
Did he have some secret medicine?
This was impossible.
Su Yang looked at the few of them, "What are you doing here?"
"Why is your face not swollen?" Ninth Prince answered with a question.
"I disguised myself," Su Yang said.
"Today’s my big happy day, you’re my brothers, how can you not consider your image?"
"...!!!"
Zhao Duan and the others felt utterly crushed.
Thinking Su Yang, the groom, was worse off than them, they decided to support him in facing humiliation together and didn’t even bother wearing masks.
And it turns out, Su Yang had dis-guised himself!
To make matters worse, he blamed them for not considering their image!
They suddenly had an urge to hit him.
Su Yang dismounted from the horse, wanting to enter the palace, but was stopped by Ninth Prince and the others.
"What are you doing?" Su Yang frowned.
"You’re not trying to block my way, are you?"
Ninth Prince and the others nodded, "That’s right, we’re the road blockers."
Su Yang, "..."
"You’re my brothers, aren’t you!" Su Yang sighed heavily.
"Is there anyone who turns against their own kind like this?"
Ninth Prince and the others had twitching mouths.
Didn’t he forget when he turned against his own kind back then?
When his elder brother married Princess Fu Yun, he even helped Prince Yun with bad ideas, forgetting all about it?
Under the questioning gaze of Ninth Prince and the others, Su Yang recalled the things he’d done in the past.
He even said, when eldest sister-in-law is around, we side with sister-in-law.
When eldest sister-in-law is not around, we side with elder brother.
Now, Ninth Prince and the others were doing the same to him.
"Come on then, come on, bring it on," Su Yang said.
Ninth Prince and Su Yang grew up together, understanding each other deeply.
This road-blocking act was spectacular.
It’s harder than passing the imperial civil and military exams.
Challenge after challenge came, and those noble family children watching felt embarrassed.
At this rate, they might never win a beauty’s heart in their lifetime.
Su Yang solved one challenge after another, saying, "Won’t you let me pass? Are you three planning not to marry?"
Shen Xing, "..."
Zhao Duan, "..."
Ninth Prince, "..."
In the excitement, they had forgotten about this matter.
Knowing Su Yang’s temperament, the only way he wouldn’t retaliate is if the sun rises from all directions at once.
Especially Ninth Prince, his heart shook violently.
He wanted to marry Su Yang’s cousin Shen Yue.
And Shen Yue was most obedient to Su Yang’s guidance.
Offending Su Yang, Ninth Prince would be half ruined.
