The Queen's face turned grim after hearing what Concubine De said. She thought to herself that Concubine De was hinting at her having killed Prince Xiao's mother.
But she remained calm on the surface and responded with a smile, "Prince Wu'an sacrificed his life for his country, so he deserves respect. I have always been very caring towards Prince Xiao, but seeing him so happy today, I couldn't help but think of him."
Concubine De sneered, "Thinking of an old friend? Isn't the Empress afraid of nightmares?"
The Queen's expression turned extremely ugly after hearing this. She widened her eyes, glared at Concubine De, and shouted sharply, "Shut up!"
Concubine De, however, didn't take it seriously. Instead, she sneered and responded sarcastically, "Shut up? No way! I came all the way here to attend this wedding banquet today! If I shut up, how can I enjoy these delicious dishes? Your Majesty, don't you agree? Hehehe..."
Seeing the empress's gloomy face, she continued: "But speaking of it, Your Majesty, you seem to be a little angry recently! Is it because you are about to have your grandson and are too excited? You must take good care of yourself, and don't get sick from anger! After your grandson is born, you still have to take the trouble to take care of him! Hahaha!" After saying that, Concubine De laughed uncontrollably.
After hearing what Concubine De said, the Queen was stunned for a moment, then a mocking smile appeared on her face: "Oh! I actually forgot to congratulate Concubine De! When the Third Prince marries that foreign princess Hu Yanzhuozhuo, he will definitely give birth to a handsome and special foreign grandson for you! But... the crown prince position in Dazhao will probably never be open to people of foreign blood! Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."
The Queen's tone was filled with disdain and sarcasm, making Concubine De tremble with anger. She stared at the Queen with wide eyes, as if she was about to overturn the table.
Seeing this, Xian Fei, who was standing next to De Fei, quickly reminded her softly, "The newlyweds are coming over to toast!"
Concubine De took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and glared at the Queen fiercely. She knew that now was not the time to lose her temper, so she had to swallow her anger for the time being.
Seeing this, the Queen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sneer. She sat there complacently, her eyes revealing a sense of arrogance and confidence. It was as if she was telling Concubine De that she was the master of the palace and no one could challenge her authority.
After Xiao Jinghan and Luo Lingyue's wedding ceremony was grandly held in the imperial palace, they returned to the Wu'an Palace in a gorgeous sedan chair.
At this time, the palace was decorated with lanterns and a festive atmosphere. Several brothers of the Luo family and members of the An family had already been waiting, ready to make a scene in the bridal chamber to add to the festive atmosphere. However, when they saw the bride and groom, Luo Lingfeng stopped them with a smile.
"Everyone! A night of spring is worth a thousand gold. Tonight is a wonderful time for the two newlyweds! Let's not disturb them!" Luo Lingfeng said loudly, causing everyone to laugh.
Everyone understood what was going on and left the scene noisily, leaving Xiao Jinghan and Luo Lingyue alone.
At this time, Luo Lingfeng quietly walked up to Xiao Jinghan, handed him a small and exquisite porcelain bottle mysteriously, and said with a sly smile: "Come, your brother-in-law is here to help you!"
Xiao Jinghan looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand, his face flushed slightly, and he replied awkwardly: "I...I don't need this."
Luo Lingfeng, however, winked and smiled: "Hehe, I understand, I understand! This is a good stuff, take it, I guarantee it will make your night more memorable!" After saying that, he winked mischievously.
Xiao Jinghan's fair face turned red in an instant. He tried to refuse, but Luo Lingfeng stuffed the small porcelain bottle into his hand without saying a word and quickly ran away.
Looking at Luo Lingfeng as he walked away, Xiao Jinghan shook his head helplessly. He secretly sighed in his heart, this brother-in-law was really notorious for being naughty. However, perhaps it was precisely because of this joyful atmosphere that this wedding was so special and memorable.
Xiao Jinghan raised his eyebrows slightly, a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he carefully put the small porcelain bottle into his sleeve.
At this moment, Luo Lingyue, who was sitting in the room, could no longer bear it. She reached out and took off the extremely heavy phoenix crown on her head, and couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "Getting married in ancient times was really troublesome! This phoenix crown is pressing on my scalp so hard that it hurts. It's almost numb!"
After that, Luo Lingyue didn't care about her image anymore, she grabbed the cakes on the table and started to eat them voraciously. After all, she had been going on for so long, she hadn't even had time to drink a sip of water! Now she was starving!
At this moment, Xiao Jinghan came over with two bowls of steaming braised pork noodles. With a smile on his face, he said softly, "Come and have something hot to warm yourself up!"
Luo Lingyue quickly took the bowl and began to eat without caring about her image. As she ate, she glanced at Xiao Jinghan, who was eating slowly and elegantly beside her, and couldn't help laughing. "This noodles tastes really good! Oh, right, let's drink that cup of Hehuan wine. Don't waste such good wine!"
Before she finished speaking, Luo Lingyue picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, her movements quick and decisive. Xiao Jinghan smiled slightly at this, thinking to himself: Looking at her like this, it seems that she doesn't know the true meaning of Hehuan wine!
After eating and drinking to their heart's content, Luo Lingyue skipped off to wash up like a cheerful little bird. Looking at her departing figure, Xiao Jinghan's face revealed a subtle, gentle smile. Yes, now he could be considered a man with a family, even though all this was just a play...
