The seductive princess is no longer being pursued; the aloof prime minister is facing a crematorium.

Chapter 268 Husband and wife worship
It's like the discipline applied to married women.

It seems that it all began on the day of the wedding.

Jiang Jinshuang didn't care much about these things.

Because she is powerful enough, these "discipline" rules have no real impact on her.

She bent down, lowering her waist slightly.

But to the matchmaker standing nearby, the height at which she was bowing was still too high.

Seeing this, the matchmaker stepped forward and anxiously pressed Jiang Jinshuang's back.

Jiang Jinshuang frowned slightly, the phoenix crown on her head pressing down on her and causing her to droop involuntarily.

Before she could lower her head again, the man in front of her raised his hand and pressed it against her forehead.

He gently lifted her forehead, raising her posture from a bowed position.

On the contrary, he bowed down, performing a ceremony almost like paying homage to the emperor.

Upon seeing this, the matchmaker's eyes widened, and she hurriedly said, "Young master, this...this is not right..."

"It's alright, she doesn't need to learn these things."

The man's voice seemed a little low. Jiang Jinshuang had not yet recovered from the shock just now, but she felt the cool pressure on her forehead.

—It was as if he wanted to lift her up high, to surpass him, to surpass everyone else.

She gave an almost imperceptible bow.

The man in front of her lowered his waist, and from Jiang Jinshuang's angle, she could even see his dark hair that hung down to his chest.

The jade bracelet jingled, and Jiang Jinshuang chuckled softly. She stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Lin Qingyan, when you paid your respects to His Majesty during the palace examination, did you perform such a grand ceremony?"

Above him, a man's voice was low, hoarse, and cold.

After seemingly pondering for a moment, for some reason, even with her head covered, Jiang Jinshuang felt that those eyes were fixed on her for a long time, without stopping or wavering.

for a long time.

"Never."

He spoke in a hoarse voice, slowly withdrawing his hand that had been holding the red silk ribbon and lifting her forehead.

In his entire life, he only ever performed such a grand ceremony for one person.

The matchmaker looked at the couple with increasing delight, and then, supporting Jiang Jinshuang, said with a smile, "The bride should get into the sedan chair now!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding crowd erupted in cheers and congratulations, and Lin Qingyan's wedding procession seemed to be quite lively.

The matchmaker tried to help Jiang Jinshuang up, but was stopped by a man standing nearby.

He stepped forward, stopped the matchmaker, and said calmly, "I'll do it."

Before Jiang Jinshuang could react, he picked her up again and carried her out of the princess's residence.

The sounds of firecrackers, cheers, and drums filled the air.

Outside the princess's residence, the matchmaker lifted the sedan chair curtain, and Jiang Jinshuang, lifting her skirt, sat inside.

The matchmaker shouted, "Lift the sedan chair!"

It was a sedan chair carried by eight men.

This is a rather high standard, and it's not that Jiang Jinshuang's status is unworthy of it, but she just didn't expect Lin Qingyan to be able to find her.

But then I thought again, it probably wasn't Lin Qingyan who found him.

Pei Du was in charge of all the wedding arrangements, big and small, so this sedan chair must have been requested by Pei Du as well.

Sometimes, Pei Du's "kindness" only made her suspicion and revenge against him after returning to the capital seem even more petty.

It must be admitted that although the marriage was urgent, thanks to Pei Du, it was managed to be orderly and well-organized amidst the chaos.

Putting everything else aside, just the fact that he brought her the memorial tablet for Prince Ruiyang is enough for Jiang Jinshuang to pay her a visit and bow to him another day.

Jiang Jinshuang also admitted that since returning to the capital, when she was in a bad mood, she would often take her anger out on Pei Du and would always like to tease him.

That's because Jiang Jinshuang didn't care about such actions, and they wouldn't even have any impact. She didn't care about Pei Du's distance, so even if she attacked him with the most vicious words, Jiang Jinshuang wouldn't feel any burden.

Thinking about it carefully, it's probably because Pei Du was too good-natured when he was still living in the princess's residence.

Jiang Jinshuang never thought that angering Pei Du would have any consequences.

She didn't think there would be any uncontrollable consequences.

However, now that she and Lin Qingyan are married, she should let go of the past.

Pei Du did a good job organizing the wedding, and Jiang Jinshuang should be grateful for his efforts.

The sedan chair was carried smoothly without any bumps.

So when Jiang Jinshuang finished her thoughts, she realized that the wedding procession was already on Chang'an Street.

Firecrackers led the way, lion dances cleared the path, and dragons and phoenixes adorned both sides, displaying their majesty.

Chuntao hasn't returned yet.

This was actually within Jiang Jinshuang's expectations. Originally, Jiang Jinshuang had invited Shen Huaihe to the princess's residence to attend the ceremony, but because of her sudden idea, Chun Tao and Shen Huaihe should take their men to investigate the clues about Zhou Yuan's wife and children.

With a permanent population of nearly one million, it would take her two days to investigate clues if she were to use her own people. However, as the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, Shen Huaihe could do some things much more easily than her.

If I make a prediction, good news should arrive before tonight.

Of course, it's too early to think about these things now.

Jiang Jinshuang sat in the sedan chair, which must have been made of the finest huanghuali wood. Not only was it heavy and precious, but it was also very stable and could block out most of the outside noise.

Jiang Jinshuang twitched her ears.

Today, Princess Zhaoming is getting married to the newly crowned top scholar Lin Qingyan. Jiang Jinshuang guesses that there shouldn't be many people coming to watch the spectacle.

But to Jiang Jinshuang's surprise, even through the sedan chair, she could still hear the congratulations and blessings from outside.

May the newlyweds enjoy a harmonious and peaceful life together!

"Sharing the same shadow under the lamp, may we grow old together, hearts united!"

"Swallows perch before the hall, and the family enjoys peace and prosperity!"

"..."

She heard the sound of beans being scattered.

—Oh, it's not beans.

It's a golden melon seed.

Lin Qingyan was also quite extravagant; he scattered handfuls of golden melon seeds as if they were free, causing the surrounding people to scramble for them while offering their congratulatory messages with even greater enthusiasm.

Everyone seemed to realize that the better the blessing was, the happier the groom would be!
Amidst the rising and falling blessings, there seemed to be some scattered, barely audible voices among the crowd.

Rather than offering blessings, those voices sounded more like whispered discussions, which Jiang Jinshuang couldn't quite hear through the sedan chair and firecrackers.

All that could be heard were vague phrases like "the groom" and "so lifelike."

Some older people, with failing eyesight, cautiously said, "Could this be that person...?"

Jiang Jinshuang could roughly guess what they were talking about.

It's simply because Lin Qingyan and Pei Du have similar features, and now that he's dressed in that red outfit, he looks even more like the top scholar who used to parade through the streets on horseback.

Jiang Jinshuang didn't seem to care much about these things; it seemed everyone thought Lin Qingyan and Pei Du were seven parts similar.

Jiang Jinshuang, however, felt that it didn't resemble her at all.

It's unclear how long the group had been walking.

"Alight from the sedan chair!" the matchmaker called out joyfully.

Arrived.

Jiang Jinshuang took a deep breath and closed her eyes slightly.
