Chapter 502 Wuwei General's Mansion
On the other side, three blocks away, there was also a procession of bridal sedan chairs.
Compared with the grand wedding procession at Beichen Palace, the wedding procession here was much more shabby.
The sedan chair carried by eight people went north and finally arrived at a mansion. The plaque on it had only three big characters: "General's Mansion".
When Prince Beichen married the prince, it was also the day when the old lady of the General's Mansion married her second wife.
Speaking of General Wuwei, he was an old man who had served the late emperor. He had followed the late emperor in his campaigns and made many contributions. He had a high status in the army and was quite authoritative in the court.
However, in the past few years, because his children and grandchildren were not promising, they caused a lot of trouble and General Wuwei was often scolded by the empress in the court.
This marriage is also for the old lady to marry a second wife. It has to be said that the old lady was a romantic person when she was young, and she has not changed her nature even when she is old.
The old lady married two husbands. The first one was the father of General Wuwei, who was a merchant. After she married him, she was forced to work hard and was weak. In the end, she died of exhaustion.
The second husband was a young man from a scholarly family. He was even softer in character than the previous one. He became sick several times due to the old lady's romanticism and was finally angered to death by the old lady's concubine.
The third man, whom she was going to marry now, was a prostitute from a brothel. He was very charming and bewitched the old lady.
Despite the opposition of his family, he insisted on marrying her as his legal husband. His daughters were so angry that they just gave up on him.
The old lady was also unhappy when she saw her daughter's attitude, but she was also a carefree person and didn't care whether her daughter liked it or not.
It is you who lives your life, not them, so just be happy.
The old lady controls everything in the general's mansion with filial piety. If her daughters dare to treat her badly, she doesn't care whether it is shameful or not and will just scold you to death.
Even though his daughters were reluctant to marry off his second wife, they were unable to stop the old lady's dominance.
Soon, the bridal sedan was brought into the general's mansion.
The sound of firecrackers is very lively and festive.

Beichen Palace
"Marriage is made in heaven, and a perfect couple is made in heaven."
"The auspicious day has arrived, let's welcome the newlyweds!——" Under the gaze of the guests, a newlywed couple slowly came over holding red silk.
The woman's red dress with gold thread was gorgeous and noble, and she had an extraordinary demeanor.
The man was dressed in a red wedding gown that was as red as fire, with his hair tied up with a golden crown, and he looked extremely handsome.
Di Ran glanced sideways at the person beside him, his brows softened and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. Ji Yunxie also responded with a faint smile.
Bai Qi shouted solemnly but suppressedly, "The newlyweds enter the hall and bow to heaven and earth... May they be together forever."
“…I bow to my parents and wish them a long and healthy life.”
"The couple bows to each other, and the twin flowers bloom..."
"Send her to the bridal chamber, and let her live in a house filled with gold and jade..."
"The ceremony is over!——"
As Bai Qi finished speaking, the new king was supported by two people on his left and right and welcomed into the new house in the backyard.
Di Ran stayed and toasted with the guests. Today was her wedding day and she was in a good mood. She was not impatient at all, and she rarely smiled and drank a few more glasses.
"It is a great joy to have your Highness married. I wish you and your Highness a long and happy marriage and a son soon."
Ji Huashang led Ji Ruxue to raise their glasses to congratulate Di Ran.
Di Ran smiled faintly and raised his glass to indicate, "According to King Rui's auspicious words."
After the two exchanged greetings for a while, Di Ran left without even glancing at Ji Ruxue.
Ji Huashang glanced sideways at her brother, whose face was slightly pale: "See? You should give up."
Ji Ruxue’s face turned pale. She bit her lips and said nothing. Her eyes followed Di Ran’s figure and her hands clenched under her sleeves.
