Chapter 308: The Fire on the Wedding Night
Chapter 308: The Fire on the Wedding Night
The prince stretched out his hand with joy, wanting to hold Daiyu's little hand tightly.
Today is their wedding night!
The pair of red candles on the table were burning brightly.
The prince's eyes were affectionate and passionate. He really wanted to tell Daiyu that he had been waiting for this moment for too long!
Suddenly, a rapid knock on the door was like a heavy hammer, ruthlessly shattering the beautiful atmosphere.
The prince was abruptly pulled back to reality from his fantasy.
Along with the heart-pounding knock on the door, the door slowly opened with a slight "creaky" sound.
I saw that the eldest wife was wearing a gorgeous Manchu dress. The purple dress was embroidered with large peony flowers with gold thread.
It makes her look even more graceful and charming!
Every step she took was so light and graceful.
Daiyu's heart trembled suddenly, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind:
Why did she suddenly come here at this time?
Could it be... Thinking of this, Daiyu involuntarily fell back to the bed.
However, because the corners of her clothes and the prince's clothes were still tightly tied together, this sudden movement caused both of them to lose their balance and they almost fell onto the bed together.
There was always a faint smile on the face of the eldest lady. The smile seemed kind and gentle, but in Daiyu's eyes there was a hint of elusive meaning.
She walked straight to the wedding bed, leaned over slightly, and said in a soft voice:
"Today is a huge happy event, I'm here to have a drink too!"
Before she finished speaking, she turned around and instructed Cai Lian behind her:
"Cai Lian, go get a pot of good old wine!"
Hearing what the eldest lady said, Daiyu and the prince looked at each other, and both of them showed surprise on their faces.
How could the usually dignified and steady Daifujin become so abnormal today?
Before the two of them could come to their senses, they saw Cai Lian walking towards them with small, quick steps, holding a tray steadily in her hands.
The eldest wife walked slowly to Cailian with her lotus steps, stretched out her jade hand and gently picked up the exquisite wine pot.
She gracefully poured the wine into three white jade cups, then handed them to the prince and Daiyu in turn with a smile.
Seeing this, the prince showed a trace of helplessness on his face.
After all, they are all my women!
He could only say softly:
"Bijun, Yu'er is pregnant now and shouldn't drink.
Why don't I drink these two glasses of wine on her behalf?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the prince picked up the two wine glasses without hesitation, raised his head and drank them all in one gulp, his movements graceful and neat.
The eldest wife smiled slightly, said nothing, and just silently picked up the wine glass in front of her.
She raised her head, her beautiful eyes always looking at the prince, then she tilted her head back and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
All the indescribable things are dissolved in the wine!
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became a little subtle, and an inexplicable awkwardness filled the air.
At this moment, Daiyu seemed to suddenly remember something.
The words the emperor once said to her came to mind:
"Tong Jia married into the family earlier than you did. You should respectfully address her as sister in the future."
Thinking of this, Daiyu quickly untied the corner of her clothes that was tied to the prince, and then stood up lightly from the bed.
She walked gracefully to the front of the eldest wife, with a sweet smile on her lips, and said softly:
"Big Lady, since you married earlier than me, from now on, I will respectfully address you as Sister!"
When the eldest wife heard this, she was stunned at first, then she smiled with joy and nodded repeatedly.
However, when her eyes accidentally swept over the bright red sheets and gorgeous quilt on the bed, her heart couldn't help but feel a pang of pain.
Those objects that symbolized the joy of a wedding were like a sharp knife, deeply hurting her heart.
She remembered her wedding night with the prince!
The prince's treatment of her at that time was completely different from the Lin Daiyu in front of him!
So she forced herself to cheer up, exchanged a few words with Daiyu, and then stood up to leave.
But at this moment, a panicked cry suddenly came from outside the door:
"Oh no! There's a fire! Help!
Put out the fire quickly!"
When the First Lady heard this, she thought that today was a happy day, with many guests outside and she was the mistress of the house.
Then he came to the prince and said anxiously:
"Your Majesty, let's go and take a look with Bijun!
There are still many guests outside!
It’s better to put out the fire quickly!"
Unexpectedly, the prince glanced at Daiyu and said with a smile:
"Let's go and see what's going on!"
In this way, the prince and Daiyu hurried out the door, their hearts full of curiosity and worry, wanting to find out where the fire happened.
However, when they arrived at the yard, the scene before them shocked everyone.
What kind of fire is that?
I saw a dazzling red light rising into the sky, like a giant dragon flying in the sky, illuminating the entire yard like a dazzling ribbon.
The red light is bright, hot and strong, which makes people fall in love with it.
At this time, the guests outside the yard also stopped and looked up at the strange red light in the sky.
There were bursts of whispers from the crowd, and someone whispered:
"With such a happy event happening on the wedding day, it seems the child in Mrs. Lin's belly will definitely be a very blessed one!"
Others nodded in agreement, with a hint of envy in their eyes.
At this moment, a servant came running to report:
"Your Highness, your Majesty, it's not a fire, it's a red light rushing straight towards our yard!"
Upon hearing this, Prince Beijing's face suddenly showed joy.
He smiled and turned to look at Daiyu beside him, gently took her hand and said:
"Look, this red light must be God's blessing for your wedding!"
Daiyu nodded slightly, a blush appeared on her pretty face, and the happiness in her eyes almost overflowed.
The eldest lady standing by originally wanted to take this opportunity to show off her status in front of the guests.
Let everyone see how efficiently he sent people to put out the fire, and suppress Daiyu at the same time.
But who knew that things would develop like this? It was completely beyond her expectations.
At this moment, her face turned pale and blue, and she felt very embarrassed.
Helplessly, she could only reluctantly bow to the prince, then turned around and left hurriedly with her personal maid Cai Lian, disappearing into the crowd.
The prince turned around and took Daiyu's hand:
"Yu'er, today is our wedding night!
Come back to your room quickly, I have a lot to tell you!"
