"Actually, the Crown Prince and Xie Chang'an look quite well-matched." Looking at the backs of the two people in front, Ye Jingyu couldn't help but sigh.
"A match made in heaven, a perfect union, how could they not be well-matched?" Yun Shu exclaimed.
No one else spoke, except for Ye Jinghe, who snorted coldly.
Xie Chang'an is not good enough for my brother!
Xie Chang'an must have saved the world in his past life to have such a good life in this one!
Back at the East Palace, seeing it brightly decorated and festive, everyone's expressions became even more complicated.
Ye Jingchen had already instructed the small kitchen to prepare a banquet, which would begin as soon as they returned.
A table laden with food, including everyone's favorite dishes, and several kinds of fine wine were also prepared.
Ye Jingchen sat with Xie Chang'an, while Ye Jinghe sat on Ye Jingchen's other side.
The location was exactly the same as when they were in school, but at this moment, everyone suddenly realized that Xie Chang'an had been by Ye Jingchen's side since they were very young.
However, he had a terrible temper and didn't even give Ye Jingchen a friendly look, so everyone subconsciously felt that he didn't get along with anyone.
"Royal brother, what's going on between you and Xie Chang'an?" Ye Jingshu had no appetite and directly asked the question that had been bothering her.
After she asked the question, everyone else looked at Ye Jingchen and Xie Chang'an.
"Didn't Yun Shu say that we are a match made in heaven, a perfect union!" Ye Jingchen said, taking Xie Chang'an's hand and showing off his love in a very open way.
Before, it was always others who got to show off in front of him, but today he can finally show off to others. It feels really good, no wonder everyone likes to show off.
"You like men?!" Ye Jingshu screamed, her voice several octaves higher than usual.
"I just happen to like Xie Chang'an." Ye Jingchen said this while looking at Xie Chang'an.
Xie Chang'an suddenly gripped Ye Jingchen's hand tightly, feeling his heart pounding incredibly fast.
The allure of the delicious food before him paled in comparison to even a fraction of Ye Jingchen's desire. Why wasn't it dark yet?
Ye Jingshu looked at Ye Jingchen in disbelief, "How could you like him? You're going to inherit the throne!"
"Xie Chang'an is now my Crown Princess. We've paid homage to Heaven and Earth, to Father, and had the court officials and common people as witnesses. How grand was our wedding? You haven't forgotten so quickly, have you, my elder sister?" Ye Jingchen asked with a smile.
"That was merely a stopgap measure to break the curse!"
"The court officials and the common people won't think that way. Xie Chang'an and I are heroes who saved Dayuan. Xie Chang'an will not be a stain on my reputation, but rather an honor," Ye Jingchen said earnestly.
"Brother, was this marriage something you planned?" Ye Jingming asked the key question immediately.
Although Ye Jingchen didn't want to lie to them, there were too many people and things involved in this matter, so he couldn't tell them the truth.
"We have no power to control the celestial phenomena; it's just that Xie Chang'an and I happen to be in love," Ye Jingchen said.
"So there really is such a thing as a match made in heaven in this world!" Ye Jingyu said excitedly.
He was simple-minded and trusted his elder brother, the Crown Prince, completely. He believed everything his elder brother said.
"Although there is no precedent in history for a crown prince to marry a male crown prince's wife, Xie Chang'an and I like each other. Shouldn't you all congratulate us?" Ye Jingchen looked at everyone and asked with a smile.
"Xie Chang'an, why aren't you saying anything? Are you dissatisfied with this marriage and feel that your brother is not good enough for you?" Ye Jinghe glared at Xie Chang'an and asked with dissatisfaction.
Ye Jinghe had confessed his feelings to Xie Chang'an in public several times, but Xie Chang'an hadn't responded at all. Ye Jinghe wished he could stare a hole through Xie Chang'an with his eyes.
For the first time in her life, Ye Jingshu felt a connection with Ye Jinghe and glared angrily at Xie Chang'an.
Ye Jingchen's feelings for Xie Chang'an certainly angered her, but Xie Chang'an's continued silence made her even angrier.
"Holding your hand, we will grow old together." Xie Chang'an raised his hand, which was clasped with Ye Jingchen's.
He didn't speak because he was thinking about other things.
For example, why isn't it dark yet?
For example, how to get rid of all these people who are in the way.
A moment of bliss on the wedding night is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Compared to their blessings, Xie Chang'an hoped they would be sensible and leave early so as not to disturb his and Ye Jingchen's wedding night.
He's studied for so many days, he certainly won't let Ye Jingchen down.
"Since you two like each other, then we wish you a long and happy marriage." Ye Jingyu poured herself and Gu Beichen a glass of wine and raised her glass with Gu Beichen.
"Thank you, Third Princess and Brother-in-law," Ye Jingchen joked.
"Brother Crown Prince, I also wish you two a lifetime of love and happiness together!" Ye Jingyu also raised his glass.
"A harmonious union, a life of mutual support and companionship!" Yun Shu echoed.
Everyone offered their blessings, and even Ye Jingning said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on achieving your wish!"
Ye Jingchen and Xie Chang'an both thought that the phrase "wish fulfilled" was particularly well said.
The banquet lasted until evening, and everyone drank quite a bit of alcohol.
After seeing everyone off, Ye Jingchen instructed the palace staff to close the palace gates early and not to see anyone who came that night.
Ye Jinghe drank quite a lot of wine alone today without saying a word. By the time Ye Jingchen found out, he was already drunk. Ye Jingchen asked the eunuch to take him back to the side hall and instructed Fangxi and Fangrui to take good care of him.
As night fell, Ye Jingchen brought Xie Chang'an to his bedroom.
Pushing open the door to the sleeping quarters, all that came into view was red.
A red carpet was laid on the floor, red paper-cut window decorations were pasted on the windows, and large red "double happiness" characters were pasted on the walls. The bedding on the bed was all changed to bright red, and even the bed curtains were red.
"I personally decorated our wedding room. Are you satisfied?" Ye Jingchen asked with a smile.
Xie Chang'an had endured it all day, and now he was finally able to hold the person in his arms, which made him extremely satisfied.
"You promised me before that after we get married, I could do whatever I wanted. Tonight is our wedding night, you won't go back on your word, will you?"
Xie Chang'an had been waiting for this day, and when it finally arrived, he felt a kind of trepidation, similar to the feeling of returning home. Therefore, he urgently needed Ye Jingchen to give him a definite answer.
Ye Jingchen took the initiative to kiss Xie Chang'an's lips. He wouldn't tell Xie Chang'an that he had actually been waiting for this day for a long time.
Love and desire are inseparable; if you like someone, how could you not want to be close to them?
What's more, Xie Chang'an is also so handsome.
She looked her best today; her thin lips seemed to be painted with rouge, so vibrant that he wanted to kiss her the moment he saw her.
"Of course I won't go back on my word. I'll cooperate with whatever you want to do tonight," he whispered in Xie Chang'an's ear.
Knowing that Xie Chang'an's ears were sensitive, he deliberately kissed Xie Chang'an's earlobe after he finished speaking.
As if electrocuted, a surge of heat started from my earlobe and instantly spread throughout my body.
The arms holding the person suddenly tightened.
