Besides, this is the Crown Prince's mansion, a place that devours people without spitting out the bones. But Lianzhi was unwilling. She only wanted to wait until she was twenty-five years old, leave the mansion, get married, and live a simple and peaceful life.

Song Tangli slammed her fist on the bed, tears welling up in her eyes, but she forced them back. "Song Tangxue, this is just the beginning. Do you think you can use such despicable methods to entangle the Crown Prince for the rest of your life?"

Life is long, let's wait and see.

When the Crown Prince left, Granny Zhao was chatting with Granny Geng in the corridor. Granny Zhao was so arrogant that she said, "It is only natural for the Crown Princess to serve the Crown Prince in bed. Some people may never have the ability to climb into the Crown Prince's bed in their entire lives."

"Your Highness, where are you going on your wedding night?" Granny Zhao asked Li Zhaoxian, who looked flustered.

"I'm going to visit the Crown Princess." The wind outside cleared Li Zhaoxian's mind considerably. He slammed the red lacquered wooden door shut, as if there was something terrifying inside.

It would be shameful for him to talk about this; family scandals shouldn't be aired in public. Li Zhaoxian chose to save face.

"Your Highness, this is unreasonable!" Granny Zhao was anxious. She was sent to the Song residence for one purpose: to make things difficult for Song Tangxue.

Before Song Tangxue's joy at becoming a Crown Princess had even subsided, the Crown Prince was already eagerly anticipating their wedding night.

After marriage, all the honor and favor a woman receives comes from her husband. No matter how high her rank is, without her husband's love, it's all for nothing. She spends her days in tears, becoming a forgotten wife in her secluded chamber!

"Does His Highness the Crown Prince need to report to a mere nanny like you where he's going?" Granny Geng immediately straightened her back: "Granny Zhao, this is..."

Lee So-hyeon realized this as well: "The Crown Princess is also the bride today, so why can't I go?"

After saying this, he hurried along under the moonlight, and the eunuch Shan Xing beside him cleverly found a cloak and draped it over Li Zhaoxian's shoulders.

The group then proceeded to Song Tangxue's bridal chamber. The Crown Princess resided in Zhaoling Palace, while the Crown Consorts and other concubines were arranged by the Crown Princess.

Therefore, this bridal chamber is just a temporary residence, as it was originally prepared for Song Tangli, and Li Zhaoxian has put a lot of thought into it.

Inside, there were even dragon and phoenix wedding candles lit, and the exquisite pastries on the table were all Song Tangli's favorites. Whether she loved or didn't love him was quite obvious.

However, when Li Zhaoxian entered the room, it was deserted. The palace maids and eunuchs who were guarding the door had all dispersed. When they heard that the Crown Prince had arrived, they hurriedly came to the courtyard and knelt on the ground to welcome him.

The room was pitch black, with a few lonely double happiness characters adorning the black window frame: "Has the Crown Princess fallen asleep?"

Xiao Xizi was a eunuch in this courtyard. He was usually glib and had a good eye. When he saw Li Zhaoxian's furrowed brows and his eyes darting around, he stepped forward and replied, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess did not return to her bridal chamber today."

"Not back yet?" Li Zhaoxian couldn't quite describe his feelings. He couldn't deny that he had been looking forward to it on the way here. Song Tangxue's face was at least flawless, and all those so-called beauties paled in comparison to her.

"Perhaps you were supposed to stay at the Crown Princess's place today, but the Crown Princess was feeling unwell, so she went out for a walk," Xiao Xizi said, bowing and flattering.

Li Zhaoxian was clearly pleased by these words. Shan Xing looked at the little eunuch with some surprise. He had potential; he was quite skilled at flattery.

"I'll go inside. You all hurry out and find the Crown Princess." Li Zhaoxian stepped forward and entered the room. This bridal chamber was prepared for Song Tangli and was extremely luxurious.

Li Zhaoxian suddenly felt fortunate. Only someone like her could be worthy of such a celestial being. Any other mundane things would seem to defile that person when placed next to Song Tangxue.

Li Zhaoxian was still thinking about Song Tangxue, who had captivated everyone's attention today. Sitting on the couch, Li Zhaoxian noticed an exquisite embroidered fan beside his pillow, and a strange feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.

The embroidered fan is exquisite and beautiful, far superior to the Song Dynasty pearwood fan.

If Song Tangxue were the Crown Princess today, she would wear that extremely luxurious wedding dress and step into the Crown Prince's residence with this embroidered fan in her hand.

Everyone was bound to gasp in amazement, for they had never seen a woman more beautiful than Song Tangxue. Even with light makeup, she was breathtakingly beautiful; one could only imagine how captivating she must be with heavy makeup.

At this moment, Lee So-hyun felt a little regretful.

How envious those people must be of marrying someone like that.

Song Tangxue followed Xiao Xizi back to the bridal chamber. The courtyard was brightly lit, and the corridor was filled with bright red lanterns. The swaying double happiness character was repaired and secured, and red silk cloth hung from the big tree.

Xiao Xizi led the way obsequiously, but Cui Xi unconsciously clenched her fists. If she were to be discovered, it would mean losing her head.

Song Tangxue slowly stepped in, and Granny Geng, who had turned the tide of the battle, leaned in and whispered, "Has the Crown Princess finished looking at the picture album I gave you last night?"

Song Tangxue's face flushed slightly, whether from the red lanterns or from shyness, she didn't know. She had not only finished reading it, but had also tried it with someone last night.

Young ladies from noble families are usually shy, and seeing her expression, Granny Geng felt relieved: "Princess Consort, go ahead."

As she passed by Granny Zhao, Granny Zhao gave her a forced smile and a bow. After the door was closed, she rolled her eyes at her.

Inside the room, Li Zhaoxian was still examining the embroidered fan. Seeing his actions, Song Tangxue's heart jumped into her throat. How could this person touch other people's things so casually!

Looking up, the two met eyes. Li Zhaoxian concealed the guilt that flashed in his eyes. He knew that what he had done today was wrong to Song Tangxue. If it were during the day, he could still stand firmly by Song Tangli's side.

After tonight... he really didn't know how to face his former beloved.

It was unavoidable that Li Zhaoxian was bothered by the question of when and where he contracted the venereal disease, which constantly reminded him of this.

"Where did you go?" Li Zhaoxian put down his embroidered fan and reached out to pull her, but Song Tangxue subconsciously turned away from his hand and sat down on the chair next to her.

She just didn't want to get any closer to Li Zhaoxian.

"I just took a walk," Song Tangxue said dismissively. She knew Li Zhaoxian was coming to see her. Song Tangli's body was not fit to serve the emperor, and Li Zhaoxian would avoid her as soon as he saw her.

He is the crown prince of a country. If he were to contract this syphilis, his reputation would be ruined. Moreover, this disease is extremely painful, and he is no fool.

I won't touch Song Tangli tonight.

As the crown prince of a country, Li Zhaoxian would naturally not mistreat himself. This reminded him of Song Tangxue, whose face was also a source of his confidence.

"I'll be staying in your room today," Li Zhaoxian said condescendingly, reaching out to remove his cloak.
