Chapter 493: Little crybaby, beautiful and delicate, the rough man dotes on his wife and flirts with her. 43
There is also a palace banquet after the wedding ceremony.
Countless young masters from the families of court officials were drowning their sorrows in alcohol. Those young masters who had not seen Su Zhiruan's true appearance that day had only heard that she was outstanding in appearance, but now that they had seen her in person, they regretted their decision even more.
At a wedding banquet, the court officials all regretted not being able to give their sons to Su Zhiruan earlier, even as a concubine. The young masters regretted it so much that their intestines turned green. The young masters used to pursue the favored eldest princess and second princess. Who would have thought that Su Zhiruan, a golden phoenix, would fly out of the cold palace! If he had followed her at that time, not only would his status and position have risen, but it would also bring honor to the family. With a few more pillow talk, Su Zhiruan might be the empress now! The prince of the Marquisate drank one glass of wine after another, his eyes kept looking up. The eldest princess sitting next to him was so angry that her face turned blue, but she was in a low position now and could do nothing at all.
The eldest princess had never expected how Su Zhiruan, a lowly princess married into a foreign country, could have come to this point and even obtained a position that she had never dared to imagine. Her face was gloomy, but unexpectedly, this look happened to be seen by the prince of the marquis's mansion.
"What are you looking at?!" The Marquis's son said sarcastically, not caring about her face at all. "The eldest princess is beautiful and has a good way of governing the country. How can a bitch like you look at her? Do you want my entire Marquis's Mansion to be buried with you?"
"How dare you scold me!" The eldest princess felt embarrassed when she saw people whispering around her, so she scolded the prince in a low voice.
The prince of the Marquisate swallowed a mouthful of wine and pinched her arm fiercely, "You still think you are a princess! If this young master divorces you now, do you think the princess will respectfully welcome you back, or will she let the Marquisate deal with you?!"
The eldest princess immediately stopped her attacks. After facing the open and covert ridicule from everyone for such a long time, how could she not know her current situation?
If she didn't leave the Marquis' Mansion, even if she was bullied, she would still be the Marquis's Crown Prince's Consort in name. But if she was divorced, she would definitely not be able to return to the palace, and she didn't even dare to think about living among the people.
The prince of the Marquis' Mansion suppressed his anger upon seeing this. On that day, the eldest princess granted the marriage to the Marquis' Mansion, and everyone in the mansion was honored and pleased. But who could have thought that Su Zhiruan, who had been bullied by the eldest princess, would suddenly become the regent. The Marquis' Mansion was now in an awkward position. If the eldest princess had been able to help Su Zhiruan, perhaps the Marquis' Mansion would have been more prosperous at this time.
The eldest princess saw that she was being verbally insulted, while Su Zhiruan was being held in the palm of the hand by the regent of the dynasty. He was even willing to give up his own status to become Su Zhiruan's son-in-law and prepare for the wedding himself. He was tall and had long legs, and standing next to Su Zhiruan, they seemed like a pair made in heaven.
She was jealous and regretful, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind, but in the end she only felt more regretful.
The second princess was the same. She drank in depression. Seeing that everyone's eyes were on Su Zhiruan with envy, and looking at the hidden admiration and throbbing of the man beside her, she became even more jealous and hateful.
During the entire banquet, Ji Xiaoyuan was the happiest person. He looked at his frustrated rivals with a smile that came from the bottom of his heart.

Many ministers came to toast Ji Xiaoyuan and Su Zhiruan. Even though Su Zhiruan had a good alcohol tolerance, she felt a little dizzy after three rounds of drinking. She glanced at the man beside her and found that his ears and cheeks were also stained with a thin layer of blush.
His already handsome face, paired with that red wedding dress, looked even more ethereal and elegant, as if he was a celestial being dragged down to earth and fallen from the altar.
Su Zhiruan looked at him for a long time. Ji Xiaoyuan hooked her fingertips under the table and asked softly, "Ruan Ruan, are you drunk?"
Su Zhiruan shook his head, "Not bad."
"Do I look good?" The man's fingertips ran across her palm and gently held Su Zhiruan's wrist with a hint of suggestion in his movements.
Su Zhiruan smiled, and placed her palm against his leg, lowering her voice, "I can only see your face, how can I know if the rest of your body looks good..."
Suddenly, the person next to me began breathing heavier.
"Want to see it?"
"No hurry," Su Zhiruan sat up and drank a sip of tea while he was about to move. She teased, "We're already married. What others can see, I can not only see, but also eat. Naturally, there's no need to rush."
The man was silent for a few breaths, and then he said with a hint of grievance, "Your Highness the Princess is truly a pillar of the country. She can endure such a beautiful scene and remain silent."
"I have a condition. If you agree, we can get out of here immediately." Su Zhiruan hooked her fingers, and Ji Xiaoyuan came closer obediently, and she whispered a few words.

After hearing these words, Ji Xiaoyuan's ears turned even redder, "Okay, you go first."
