Chapter 7 A Broken Heart (7)
He had also repeatedly considered whether this was the right thing to do. Was it true that he and Shu'er were destined to be together forever?
He was transferred to ancient times only to live for the duty of being a crown prince, so marrying Wei'er was his duty and he had to fulfill it. So even if it was unfair to Shu'er, he could not let another woman suffer the same pain as him. He secretly swore in his heart that although he could not guarantee whether he could forget Shu'er, he would still do his best to protect Wei'er, the crown prince's wife. At least this was all he could do now...
After entering the palace, the wedding procession headed towards the main hall where the banquet was held - [Zhenghe Hall]. The procession stopped in front of [Zhenghe Hall]. Zhao Ziheng dismounted and walked towards the carriage where Wei'er was sitting. Two maids beside the carriage opened the gauze curtains from the left and right sides respectively, and then a maid helped Wei'er out and handed Wei'er's hand to Zhao Ziheng. Zhao Ziheng took Wei'er's hand, and Wei'er stepped down from the back of the eunuch who had been squatting on the ground. Zhao Ziheng held Wei'er's hand and walked into the hall under the guidance of the maid!
[Zhenghe Hall] Sitting at the highest point of the hall were the Queen and the seriously ill Prince Zhao, who was barely holding on. Both sides of the palace were already filled with dignitaries and guests who came to congratulate! Seeing her son's majestic appearance today, the Queen was pleased with tears in her eyes, and Prince Zhao was also pleased with a forced smile...
Holding Wei'er's hand, he slowly walked towards King Zhao and the Queen. Who knows what Zhao Ziheng was thinking at this moment?
'Shu'er, are you looking at me? Do you hate me?'
'Shu'er!'
Zhao Ziheng kept repeating Shu'er's name in his heart. It seemed that he still hadn't forgotten Shu'er even now!
After the wedding ceremony, Zhao Ziheng and Wei'er left first, and the banquet officially began...
Singing, music, dancing, comedy, juggling and other performances were performed one after another, and the palace maids were busy serving delicious food and fine wine. When Zhao Ziheng and Wei'er appeared again, Wei'er had taken off her veil. She was indeed very beautiful today!
Everyone says that a woman is most beautiful when she is a bride, which is true. A red robe, gold and silver jewelry, and other decorations make Wei'er even more beautiful. King Zhao left with the queen because he was not feeling well. Zhao Ziheng and Wei'er began to receive all the guests...
Zhou Yan and Xiang Qin sat together, but Zhou Yan didn't care about Zhao Ziheng's wedding at all. He just kept looking for a familiar figure among the crowd of performers; Xiang Qin, who was sitting next to him, seemed to be drinking with a lot of worry?
The performances selected for the palace were indeed extraordinary, and the guests were very satisfied and reluctant to leave. The protagonist Zhao Ziheng was accepting the endless congratulations and toasts from the guests. Although Zhao Ziheng's expression was smiling during the conversation with the guests, there was no smile in his eyes. Wei'er, who was sitting next to him, could notice it, but she could not do anything. She could only lower her head silently and feel sad alone...
The wedding banquet was reaching its climax. Many people were already a little tipsy and were enjoying themselves. Suddenly, a burst of brisk music completely changed the atmosphere of the entire hall? This sound? This rhythm? It made Zhao Ziheng, who had been drinking a little, suddenly feel refreshed. He had not been watching the show much before, but he became focused?
And Zhou Yan seemed to have guessed it long ago, and was looking forward to it! ?
Wei'er was also attracted by the melody, while Xiang Qin stared at the entrance of the performance with a worried look on her face...
Two veiled women wearing the same attire quickly walked out from beside the tent in the hall, with a long silk wrapped around their arms. They arrived in the middle of the hall. As the melody changed, the silk kept dancing in the air, making all the guests stare at the two figures intently!
Looking at these two familiar figures, Zhao Ziheng stood up from his seat unconsciously, looking at them in shock, the wine glass in his hand tilted and the wine spilled. Wei'er looked at Zhao Ziheng with some curiosity...
Zhou Yan's eyes were always fixed on one of the two figures, because he knew which one was Yin Yin!
The "Colorful Dance" that was adapted and added to the ballet was not something that everyone could perform. This dance that you would never forget after watching it once deeply attracted Zhao Ziheng. A man sitting in the front seat of the front row of the banquet table glanced at Zhao Ziheng while watching the dance. There was a malicious look in his eyes. Seeing Zhao Ziheng being attracted by the dance, the man chuckled with contempt and evilness, and then turned back to continue watching this unparalleled dance...
Watching the dance.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince——"
Wei Er finally spoke, calling the Crown Prince's name softly, and in order not to be rude to others, she reminded him...
Zhao Ziheng seemed to come to his senses and turned to look at Wei'er!
"Can't you just sit down and watch?"
Wei'er meant that it was inappropriate for Zhao Ziheng to stand. After all, there were so many guests. As the crown prince and heir to the throne of Zhao, how could he save his dignity if he was seduced by two women? Zhao Ziheng seemed to understand Wei'er's meaning and sat down consciously.
After sitting down, he first looked at Wei'er, who just smiled at him. Zhao Ziheng lowered his head in shame and remained silent for a while before looking up at the dance in front of him...
