Chapter 920: Chapter 920: The Bride’s Provocation
Beside them, a maid had already lifted the cloth cover and brought out the clothes Ye Jiu had prepared.
However, the color of those clothes made everyone involuntarily twitch the corners of their mouths.
Wearing a green robe on such a joyous day, the Commandery Princess’ mind is something else. And those shoes, they’re green too!
King Jing grew even angrier, “That pesky girl is deliberately picking a fight with me. Who wears a full outfit in green?”
The Princess Consort of King Jing also felt uneasy, “These clothes are indeed unsuitable; the Prince should wear his usual attire instead.”
Since Ye Jiu had said she’d prepare them, she hadn’t made other preparations here, never expecting it would turn out like this.
Ye Jiu was there asking Nuan Chun, “So, did my father wear that outfit?”
Nuan Chun’s mouth twitched, “The Prince didn’t wear it, he wore his usual attire.”
Ye Jiu knew he wouldn’t wear it, and was just trying to disgust him a bit.
Even though she knew taking a concubine wasn’t his will, she couldn’t help disliking the concept of men having multiple wives.
In the main hall, everyone was present, guests filled the seats, all summoned by the old Emperor. People from the Royal Residence were also there, eager to see what kind of extraordinary woman this Wang Family girl was, that warranted such grand treatment by the Emperor.
King Jing and the Princess Consort appeared one after another and sat in their primary seats.
Outside the door, a young attendant came to report, “Prince, the bridal sedan has arrived…”
King Jing was not one for politeness, “Since it’s here, open the side gate and let them enter the residence. She’s just a side concubine, does she expect me to personally welcome her!”
Everyone in the rear courtyard knew that this Wang side concubine, not yet in the door, was already disliked by the Prince.
Outside the door, the pink bridal sedan lifted a curtain slightly, and the maid’s voice was full of indignation, “Miss, the Prince wants you to enter on your own, and through the side gate. Clearly, the Emperor had discussed with the old master that although the title isn’t as the official Princess Consort, all rites would follow those of the primary Princess Consort. This Princess Consort is truly insufferable.”
In their hearts, they were certain it was the Princess Consort behind this, as men wouldn’t be inclined to reject wedding nights; King Jing would never act like this.
The Wang side concubine, however, seemed unconcerned, instead curling her lips, “It’s fine, since the Prince said so, we’ll comply. Also, this is the Royal Residence of King Jing, henceforth you must address me as Lady Side Concubine and mind your speech. Otherwise, I won’t be able to protect you.”
“Yes, Lady Side Concubine.” Chuntao, although still indignant, dared not oppose seeing the Wang side concubine speak.
As she was supported by maids to stand at the side gate of the Royal Residence of King Jing, the Wang side concubine’s smile grew even sweeter. A girl of fifteen or sixteen is naturally delicate, and with such a smile, she appeared even more enchanting.
The Royal Residence of King Jing, she had returned, entering through the side gate now, but it didn’t matter. This was merely temporary, and one day, she would walk through the main gate again.
And when that time comes, she will surely crush everyone in the Royal Residence of King Jing beneath her feet!
“The side concubine enters the residence…”
All eyes were drawn to the newcomer supported by the maids, but everyone couldn’t help but gasp.
A crimson bridal gown, a color reserved for the primary wife, whether of royal or commoner status, regardless of rank.
This lady from the Wang Family, a newly arrived side concubine of the Royal Residence of King Jing, truly feared that others wouldn’t see her intent to usurp status!
Simultaneously, dark looks passed between the Princess Consort and King Jing, prompting King Jing to immediately scold, “Outrageous, what boldness from the Wang Family, for a side concubine to dare wear a crimson bridal gown!”
