Chapter 149 The Sentimental Emperor
"Wanwan, are you up? Let us come in and do your hair."
Just after I finished washing up, Xiaopang's voice rang out along with a knock on the door.
Jiang Wan went over and opened the door, and saw Xiaopang and Yu Rou standing at the door, with Xiaopang holding breakfast in his hands.
"Why don't you bring breakfast up? I can just go down and eat it."
After saying hello, Jiang Wan let the person into the room.
"It's okay. It's the same if you eat upstairs. You can eat outside instead of in the inner room. The breakfast I made today is relatively light, not strong in taste, so you can eat in the room. While you eat, I will do your hair, and then let Yu Rou drink it and help you put on makeup. After everything is done, Admiral Yin Yi will soon bring people to pick up the bride."
Xiaopang put the breakfast in his hand on the table outside the room, pulled Jiang Wan over to sit down, and stood behind her to help her fix her hair.
Jiang Wan's room is divided into two rooms, inside and outside. There is a small living room after entering the door, and the bedroom is further inside. As long as the bedroom door is closed, you can entertain guests and eat in the small living room outside without worrying about the smell affecting the bedroom.
Yu Rou had nothing to do for the time being, so she helped Xiao Pang with Jiang Wan's styling.
......
By the time Jiang Wan had finished her breakfast and put on her wedding dress, it was almost noon and Yin Yi next door had already started to invite guests to go to the wedding venue.
Even though Yin Yi usually had a cold face, he had a high status after all. With his uncle being the marshal, his two brothers being princes, his cousin being the empire's top negotiation expert, and his cousin being a major general, many people wanted to attend his wedding.
Many people come to attend weddings not to witness the happiness of the newlyweds, but to expand their own or their family's network.
The Mingxi Empire had a rule that if a noble held a wedding, all nobles could attend the wedding, but commoners could not attend. Similarly, if commoners held a wedding, nobles could not attend.
This rule is to allow newlyweds to receive more people's blessings. In the Mingxi Empire, there has long been a saying that the more people attend the wedding, the happier the newlyweds will be.
However, as time goes by, more and more people use other people's weddings as a stepping stone to make friends with the powerful.
The great nobles disdain to attend the weddings of lesser nobles, but the lesser nobles actively participate in the weddings of greater nobles just to have a chance to marry into their laps.
No one cares who is the protagonist of the wedding anymore, let alone sending them blessings. A good wedding scene has turned into someone else's fame and fortune.
Even the wedding of the Seventh Prince and Meiya did not escape.
At Yin Yi's wedding, those who attended the wedding originally came with the purpose of making friends with the powerful and influential, but when they arrived at the wedding scene, they were all dumbfounded.
Weddings in the Mingxi Empire are all held in a buffet-like format. There are long tables placed in the venue, which are filled with all kinds of nutrient solutions. Thoughtful families will also place some fruits for the guests to taste. The guests attending the wedding stand from beginning to end and can move around, so it is more convenient to chat with others.
But this time at Yin Yi's wedding, all the long tables were replaced with large round tables, and chairs were placed around each table. There was a long table at the door, covered with a red cloth. Two half-orc waiters in red clothes sat at the back and registered the names of the guests one by one, and then asked other waiters to take them to the arranged tables to sit down according to their identities.
After they sat down, they looked around and realized that everyone around them was people they knew and were of the same level as them, so there was no need to curry favor with them.
Then look at the person you want to get close to. Wow, he or she is so far away. Okay, today's goal cannot be achieved. Just attend the wedding honestly.
The young nobles withdrew their gazes with regret and began to chat with their acquaintances at the same table.
"Admiral Yin Yi is really creative. Not only did they arrange seats for everyone at this wedding, but they also separated them by rank. This is the first time I've attended such a wedding. It really broadens my horizons."
"Yeah, what's the matter? Are you looking down on us little nobles? You arranged a seat so far away for us. What can we see?"
"Well, he is a general, the first god of war in the empire, a noble, his uncle is a marshal of the army, and he has two brothers who are princes. It's normal for him to look down on us, because we are not nobles."
"Hey, do you think that person from the palace will come to the wedding today?"
"No way. I've never seen His Majesty the Emperor personally come to congratulate any noble wedding."
"Of course other nobles can't do that, but how can Admiral Yin Yi be an ordinary noble? Even if he was kicked out of the family, he is still the emperor's biological son. The eldest and second princes are here, and the other princes will probably come too. As a father, if the emperor doesn't come, who will be the master of ceremonies?"
"It's hard to say. I heard that he really doesn't like Admiral Yin Yi. Whenever the father and son meet, they are worse than strangers."
......
Where there are people, there is gossip. Even though the protagonists of the gossip are emperors and generals, it still cannot dampen the enthusiasm of the spectators.
At the same time, the emperor in the palace was also asking the steward beside him.
"Has Yin Yi not sent anyone into the palace yet?"
"Replying to your Majesty, no."
The steward bowed for the eighteenth time to answer the emperor's question. Seeing the emperor's face as dark as ink, he felt helpless.
Ever since he knew that Admiral Yin Yi was going to hold a wedding, His Majesty the Emperor had been waiting for Admiral Yin Yi to invite him to be the master of ceremonies. As a result, he waited until today, when the wedding was about to start, but there was still no news at all. The emperor was so angry that he was furious in the palace.
This steward had served the emperor for nearly a hundred years. He had witnessed the birth and growth of every prince, and he saw clearly the emperor's attitude towards each prince.
To be honest, he didn't think that Admiral Yin Yi would invite His Majesty the Emperor to be the master of ceremonies at his wedding. To put it bluntly, he was afraid that Admiral Yin Yi didn't want His Majesty the Emperor to appear at his wedding.
Unfortunately, his master was completely unaware of this situation and was still waiting for Lord Yin Yi to ask him to be the master of ceremonies.
"Snapped!"
The emperor angrily slammed the table in front of him, his face full of anger: "This Yin Yi is too outrageous. The wedding is about to start, but he didn't even bother to ask someone to come and invite me. What's going on? Does he still want me to take the initiative to be the master of ceremonies for him?"
