Chapter 188 Teasing
What on earth happened to Qiao San that he dared to grab the Crown Prince's sleeve?
Fearing that the Crown Prince might truly be angry and blame the Xiao family, Xiao Chengyan almost screamed in a roar.
"Qiao Qingle! Let go of me!"
Qingyue was startled by the sudden shout, but she stubbornly held on.
She looked up at the Crown Prince with an adoring expression and whispered,
“Your Highness, didn’t you say in your letter that you dreamed of seeing me? Now I’m standing right in front of you.”
The prince was initially disgusted and about to get angry, but seeing the girl's tenderness and affection, and how she regarded him as her lover, he was initially puzzled.
Looking at the young woman's face again, it was a very vulgar face, covered in scribbles like ghostly symbols. There was no pity in it, only a sense of absurdity.
He didn't feel a moment of pity or tenderness for her; he just found it hilarious and amusing.
What other message did this girl send...?
He couldn't help but become interested and wanted to tease the little girl.
"Yes, do you remember what else was said in that letter?"
The Crown Prince's expression was gentle, and his tone was soft; Qiao Qingle was almost instantly captivated.
She felt dizzy and confused, even though she hadn't been drinking, and started saying whatever came to mind.
Surrounded by a large group of guards and servants, several busybodies went to the front hall to report the news, and soon a number of guests gathered to watch the spectacle.
Qiao Qingle recalled with her eyes flushed.
"In your letter, you also said that you miss me day and night, and that you want to marry me as your crown princess, and that you will dote on me alone in the future."
Qiao Qingle was immersed in her beautiful pink memories and didn't notice that she was surrounded by people.
"a ha ha ha!"
Surprisingly, it was the Crown Prince who burst into laughter first, pointing at Qiao Qingle's face and laughing so hard he was doubled over.
"You! You ugly freak! To make you the Crown Princess! Hahahaha! You're utterly ridiculous!"
"Go back and take a piss and look in the mirror first!"
Upon hearing the Crown Prince's unrestrained laughter, the onlookers also burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! Whose ugly woman is this! How dare she overestimate herself! The courtesans that the Crown Prince often patronizes are all prettier than this one!"
"Haha, that's right! Has this girl lost her mind? It's outrageous! She actually wants to be the Crown Princess and even fantasizes that the Crown Prince is in love with her. Let alone the Crown Prince, even I wouldn't give her a second glance. Look at how silly she is!"
"This girl is shameless. I've never seen anyone so eager to get close to someone. She's utterly disgraceful."
The prince's sleeve had already been snatched back, but Qiao Qingle's hand did not retract; she still held onto the prince's sleeve.
These words felt like needles piercing her ears. She looked at the Crown Prince in disbelief, wanting an explanation from his eyes.
But the prince's eyes held nothing but disdain and mockery, just like the indifferent expression of the onlookers.
Her mind was buzzing. She wanted to run away, but her feet wouldn't move. She just stood there, dumbfounded, accepting the ridicule and insults from the crowd.
At that moment, Qiao Qing noticed that a lot of people had gathered here, and wanted to come over and ask if anyone had seen her third sister.
The moment she pushed through the crowd, Qiao Qingqiao knew it was all over.
Her third sister must have made a fool of herself. The unbearable mockery from the onlookers reached her ears. Qiao Qingqiao pushed through the crowd, grabbed Qing Le's hand, and ran away.
Completely disregarding the fact that this farce had spread throughout the entire capital within just one hour, thanks to the Xiao family's wedding banquet.
In less than fifteen minutes, Wanqiu hurriedly returned to the new house and told Qiao Qingshu about the embarrassing incident she had witnessed with Qiao Qingle in the garden.
Qiao Qingshu was sitting by the wedding bed, listening to Wanqiu's story.
Her expression remained unchanged, because she had already anticipated this.
But by the time Qiao Qingle realized her mistake, it was probably too late.
She didn't offer any comment, but simply asked,
When will the banquet at the front end end?
She didn't care when the groom would arrive; it was just that the heavy phoenix crown was making her neck ache, the red veil was covering her, and she was hungry, so she was quite uncomfortable.
Lin Dong answered softly.
"We've only gone halfway through the meal; it might be another hour before the son-in-law returns."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Qingshu changed her sitting position again, and stuffed two pillows behind her back to make herself more comfortable.
She cried out weakly.
"I'm so hungry."
She wanted to take a piece of wedding cake to eat, but the maids stopped her, because the number of pieces on the wedding cake had a symbolic meaning and she couldn't just touch them.
There was nothing else in the room, so she even secretly peeled two peanuts that were scattered on the bed, but that wasn't enough to fill her up.
"Boom boom boom!"
A knock came at the door, and Xia Zhi hurried to open it, where two maids came in carrying food boxes.
An older girl, who seemed more experienced, smiled and said...
"The First Madam knew that the bride was probably hungry, so she specially instructed our small kitchen to prepare some food for her to eat a little. She also instructed that she should not lift the veil."
The two maids put down the food and then left.
Late Autumn walked closer to the table, took a look, and clicked her tongue twice.
"This First Madam is really something, she gave us a hard time the moment she walked in."
Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice also came closer to take a look, and they all clicked their tongues in amazement.
The food box on the table contained four dishes: salt-baked chicken feet, braised pork trotters, steamed crab, and stir-fried snails.
They all look like good dishes, but none of them are convenient to eat.
You even need to use your hands to get it into your mouth.
Hearing Wanqiu read out the names of the dishes, Qiao Qingshu couldn't help but laugh out loud. This Madam Xing really went to great lengths.
They tried every possible way to prevent her from eating.
But what can she do? Qiao Qingshu naturally has her own way of dealing with it.
At that moment, the door creaked open again.
Cui Mei came in through the back door carrying a small box.
As soon as Cuimei entered, the three maids gathered around her, watching as she opened the food box.
Cui Mei was still panting as she explained between breaths.
"This was made fresh at the Zhenxiu Restaurant, it's still hot. I ran back here as fast as I could, it's all the kind of food that young ladies love to eat."
There were four dishes inside, but they were all delicious, easy to take and easy to swallow, and they were all dishes that Qiao Qingshu usually liked to eat.
The maids gathered around Qiao Qingshu, each taking turns serving her food with their chopsticks, and Qiao Qingshu ate her fill through her red veil.
Just as they were enjoying their meal, the door was suddenly opened from the outside, and a nanny stormed in.
She was originally sent by Madam Xing, who said that if she saw the bride lifting her veil to eat, she should be severely reprimanded and not given any face.
She had also thought of coming in to help the First Madam assert her authority, but she didn't expect that although the new bride was eating, her veil was still properly covering her face.
She was momentarily stunned, unsure whether to go forward or retreat, and stood bewildered in the middle of the room.
