The temple is not far from the palace.

Duan Yu and Du Minting were already on their way to the temple, and Du Minting left her personal maid Hongying in the palace.

She always felt that the prince consort's attitude towards the maid was unusual. What was the point of keeping such an ugly woman in the inner chamber of their wing? When they returned from burning incense at the temple tonight, they would consummate their marriage. Did they still have to let that woman watch?

Du Minting's face darkened as she thought about this.

"Look, this is the princess and her husband. The husband is so handsome!"

"The princess is also very beautiful. They are really a perfect match."

"I heard that the eldest princess's husband is probably the most handsome among all of them."

"Really? I heard he's quite talented."

Various discussions were heard outside the sedan chair.

Du Minting was listening inside.

"Husband, listen to what they say about you." Du Minting said with a smile.

Duan Yu smiled and said, "Madam, you are beautiful, virtuous and talented. I am so lucky to have you."

Duan Yu’s words made Du Minting quite satisfied.

Her brow relaxed.

She thought: Of course, how many people want to sit on the position of Prince Consort. She is the eldest princess of the Du Kingdom, and has been the focus of attention since childhood. Her husband must also be superior to others.

Duan Yu knew what Du Minting was thinking. He would naturally satisfy her desire for a sense of honor. It would only take some effort, and it wouldn't cost her anything.

"Princess, Prince Consort, we have arrived at the temple."

Duan Yu got out of the sedan first, holding Du Minting's hand.

The tall Du Minting looked a little like a little bird next to him.

People around her sighed that Bi Ren was unparalleled in the world.

Du Minting looked shy and Duan Yu's eyes were full of doting.

This is a voice that broke the warm atmosphere between the two: "Princess, Prince Consort, please follow me."

"Master is invited."

The person in front of Du Minting was the most prestigious master. Even when he met the monarch of the Du Kingdom, he was exempt from formalities.

After some complicated rituals, the master handed over two glasses of wine and motioned them to drink.

"This glass of wine is the final ceremony, symbolizing your everlasting happiness together."

"Thank you, Master."

Duan Yu and Du Minting saluted together.

The two smiled at each other and drank the wedding wine.

Duan Yu's pair of affectionate eyes and unparalleled handsome face made Du Minting's heart beat fast.

The women of the Du Kingdom have always been straightforward and bold. Du Minting is looking forward to the wedding consummation tonight.

The sound of chanting rang out in the temple.

Duan Yu's smile was unfathomable, he had no interest in these rituals.

He looked around and found nothing special here.

Perhaps this master has profound attainments in metaphysics, otherwise why would he ask them to come here specially.

Since it works so well, I’ll bring Gu Yufei over to see it next time.

Duan Yu thought to himself.

After two or three hours, the ceremony finally ended.

"Thank you, Master, for your hard work today." Du Minting was in a very good mood today.

She gave a wink, and the palace servants brought up dozens of boxes of jewels.

"Master, this is my incense offering this year. It's a thoughtful gift, please accept it. I also hope you will pray for me more often when you recite the sutras every day."

"You're welcome, Princess."

The master understood. "Your Highness, please get into the sedan chair first. Princess, please follow me."

Duan Yu glanced at him and then said, "Madam, your husband is waiting for you in the sedan chair."

After Duan Yu left, the master took out a flute from his arms and said, "The wine that Prince Consort drank just now has a poison. If he dares to be unfaithful to you, you can blow this flute and he will be in excruciating pain."

"Thank you, Master. My son-in-law is of a mediocre family. It is the highest honor for him to marry me. How could he do something unfaithful to me?" Du Minting said, but still accepted the flute.

"Life is unpredictable. I am only doing what the Emperor wants."

"Thank you, Master."

………………………………………………

It was still early when Duan Yu and the others returned.

Du Minting's personal maid. Hongying saw her return and hurried forward to report on the day's situation.

Du Minting winked at her, and after Duan Yu left, Hongying quietly spoke, "The Prince Consort treated the maid very well. He ordered people to prepare food for her and even specifically instructed the kitchen to make red bean paste that wasn't too sweet."

After hearing these words, Du Minting's face instantly darkened.

If it was because of the relationship between master and servant, preparing food for her now that she was blind was understandable, but the fact that he could even remember her taste made Du Minting think too much.

"Anything else?"

"The servant left behind by the Prince Consort is called Ah Ji. He usually stays with the Prince Consort all the time. Today, he stayed at Qiu Shuang's place for a long time."

"Do you know what they did in the room? What did they talk about?"

"This...they spoke very quietly, I couldn't hear them clearly."

Hongying lowered her head.

"You continue to pay attention to their actions and report to me if anything happens." Du Minting looked at the door of the compartment, thoughtfully.

In the side room, Gu Yufei was resting with her eyes closed.

Duan Yu and the others made a lot of noise when they returned, and she heard it from inside a long time ago.

Gu Yufei didn't want to get involved in the affairs between the princess and him, so pretending to be asleep was the best solution. Moreover, she was sleeping in the inner room of their wing, which was embarrassing no matter how she talked about it.

Especially tonight, it seems like something is going to happen between them...

"You have to stay away tonight." Duan Yu knew that Gu Yufei was pretending to sleep when he entered the room.

"No problem. Just find me a room to stay in." Gu Yufei's voice was cold.

Duan Yu opened and closed his lips, wanting to say something, but in the end no words came out.
