Empress Running Away with the Ball

Chapter 905: No wonder it was the Empress Dowager’s choice

Su Jin said, “You are too anxious, the auspicious hour isn’t here yet.  When the auspicious hour comes, the bride will naturally come out.”

She was secretly worried in her heart.  She hope that this wedding would end soon and the emperor and miss Chen could enter their nuptial chambers soon.  At that time, the stone in her heart could finally fall down.

“The auspicious hour is here!”

With a clear voice shouting out, the festive drums began to sound.  The people in the wedding hall all stood up and looked over to the door.

They saw two rows of palace girls come in before a bright red colour filled everyone’s eyes.  It was like the sun, shining through the entire wedding hall.

Being supported by two palace girls, with a red veil over her face, a slender figure wearing a large red gown with golden embroidery appeared in front of everyone.  Her figure was very beautiful, slender like a willow tree and floating like an immortal.

Although everyone couldn’t see her face, just by seeing that slender figure, they could tell that the face under the red veil was unparalleled.

The ministers couldn’t help secretly whispering.

“Wasn’t it said that the emperor’s chosen empress was a commoner?  She looks so noble, how could she be a commoner. She’s even more eye catching than the large family’s daughters!

“That’s right.  I’ve heard that she is ugly to the point she couldn’t be any uglier.  Ai, I really want to see under her red veil and see if she is as ugly as the rumors say she is.”

“I’ve also heard that she is a cripple…..”

“Nonsense.  Could a cripple stand this straight and this beautifully?  Eh…..”

That person’s words froze in his throat because everyone saw the red clothed bride moving forward, with one foot high and one foot low.  She limped along step by step, showing she really was a cripple.

“Ah!”  Everyone couldn’t help letting shock gasps of pity.

Such a beautiful figure, but she actually really has a crippled foot!

This is just too much of a pity!

Chu Shao Yang also stood in the crowd.  From the first moment the red clothed bride appeared in his eyes, it was like his acupuncture point was poked and he was frozen on the spot.

For a moment, it was like time flowed backwards as it returned to several months ago, the day he and Chen Ning were married.

She was also wearing dazzling red wedding dress at that time, but he only took a single look before turning his head in disgust.  He didn’t even bow with her before sending someone to take her to her new room.

He suddenly found that this slim red figure actually looked like Ning’er!

Impossible!  This was definitely impossible!

How could she possibly be Ning’er?

Ning’er has already married to East Qin as the Crown Princess, she couldn’t appear here no matter  what!

Chu Shao Yang told himself this in his heart, but his eyes kept staring at the red clothed girl, not turning for even an instant.  His fists clenched tightly and all the blood in his body boiled.

Similar!  Just too similar!

At this time, the red clothed girl moved, hobbling forward step by step.  There were sighs of pity all around, but she ignored it all. Without any palace maids to support her, she walked forward alone in the red wedding dress.

The voices all around stopped.

Everyone watched the new bride hobbling forward step by step.  Their hearts were filled with pity, sympathy, and praise for this young girl.

If it was anyone else, they would have fallen to the public outcry.  How could they still have the courage to reveal their flaw to everyone like this?

This girl really was picked by the Empress Dowager!

Although they couldn’t see her face, her courage had already won the admiration of many people in the crowd.
