Yu Nanqing pursed her lips, somewhat unwilling.
Su Wanyan patted her face to calm herself down a bit, and asked, "What else do you want to play?"
Yu Nanqing blushed and wanted to kiss him again.
But he didn't say it aloud. Thinking of Su Wanyan's kiss just now, he suddenly felt satisfied: "That's all."
There's plenty of time, there will be other opportunities in the future, no rush, no rush.
Upon hearing this, Su Wanyan covered her neck with her hand and said, "Then please help me take off this golden phoenix crown."
Yu Nanqing was slightly taken aback: "Yan'er, won't you wear it for a little longer?"
After all, it was their wedding day; why shouldn't she linger a little longer?
"Do you know how heavy this phoenix crown is? Not to mention the other pearls, hairpins and gold ornaments. It's almost breaking my neck. How long do you want me to wear it? Take it off for me now."
Yu Nanqing pursed her lips and hurriedly reached out to help Su Wanyan remove her phoenix crown.
As soon as the phoenix crown was removed, Su Wanyan felt her neck relax.
She reached out to take off her wedding robe, but before she could, she looked at Yu Nanqing curiously: "There are so many guests outside, why don't you go out and show your face to greet them?"
Yu Nanqing stepped forward, gently untied her belt, and removed her wedding robe: "No rush, Lu Cezhong and the others will help us outside, it won't delay anything."
Moreover, the host today is Wang Zhang, who will take excellent care of the guests.
"Speaking of which, I haven't asked you yet. Why are General Lü and the others here?"
Yu Nanqing smiled and said, "Several months ago, I wrote to Lü Cezhong, asking him to come to Fucheng and explain my plan to him."
"So that means Chi En and the others also knew all along? Qiu Ye and Huang Ye too?"
"Mm," Yu Nanqing replied.
He slowly removed the hairpins and beads: "Originally, I wanted to hold the banquet in the capital, so that I could entertain the Chang and Shun families..."
Su Wanyan knew that he was referring to Dai Zhiwan and Xu Yixuan.
Yu Nanqing paused, a hint of guilt rising in his eyes: "In the end, it was my fault for not preparing properly, which caused Yan'er some regret..."
Su Wanyan smiled and said, "So what if there are regrets?"
Yu Nanqing looked at Su Wanyan and heard her say, "Can you guarantee that everything will be perfect? Can you guarantee that life will be perfect? Even you can't be perfect in every aspect. Although it's a pity that we can't invite them, think about it, this wedding was originally a belated one. I didn't even know them when I married into the Prince Gong's Mansion."
It's a matter of luck to gain it and fate to lose it.
It would be great if she could invite him, but if not, there's no need to force it, especially given the current circumstances. She wouldn't ask for too much.
Yu Nanqing understood Su Wanyan's meaning, but since it was a replacement, he naturally wanted it to be perfect.
Su Wanyan reached out and cupped Yu Nanqing's face: "Don't think too much. Besides, I'm so tired after all this commotion today. Is there anything else to do? If not, I want to take a nap."
A blush crept onto Yu Nanqing's cheeks. With Su Wanyan cupping his face like that, he thought...
"..." Su Wanyan was stunned: "Why are you blushing?"
"Ahem." Yu Nanqing coughed lightly, turning his gaze away: "Yan'er is always gentle and kind..."
That's just how she is; otherwise, she wouldn't have always indulged him.
Su Wanyan flopped onto the bed: "I'm not going to argue with you anymore, I really need to rest."
She sat in the sedan chair all day, and her back almost broke.
"Mm." Yu Nanqing gently stroked her hair. "I'll have Qiuye bring some food in a moment. If you're hungry, eat something first and then rest."
"Okay, I understand," Su Wanyan replied with her eyes closed.
Actually, she was hungry while she was in the sedan chair, but she wanted to take a nap first rather than be hungry.
Su Wanyan had no idea how long the banquet in the mansion would last, because she was asleep.
However, because of this belated wedding, a rumor spread in Fucheng in the afternoon that Prince Gong had a beloved wife in the capital. He doted on her, even defying the court for her, and vowed never to take a concubine.
Unexpectedly, on his very first day in Fucheng, he was already holding a grand wedding. It was a mystery who this bride in the sedan chair was, that Prince Gong would disregard his first wife and forget all his vows.
Speaking of which, where did Princess Gong go?
Why is Princess Gong not seen making an appearance at all during Prince Gong's long and elaborate process of taking a concubine?
Could it be that Prince Gong left her in the capital?
It must be said that people everywhere are particularly enthusiastic when discussing these gossips.
Of course, some people refuted this statement, saying that no one has ever seen someone else take a concubine in this manner. This is clearly a wedding procession for a bride. They all saw the bride getting out of the sedan chair, wearing a bright red wedding robe.
Whose concubine is so bold as to wear a bright red wedding robe?
Or else... a concubine?
Rumors quietly spread during the banquet, and the people chatted about it as they ate, completely baffled.
Fortunately, the rumor was refuted within half an hour.
Sources familiar with the matter revealed that the woman Prince Gong married today was neither a concubine nor a secondary wife; she was Princess Gong.
Upon hearing this, the gossipy villagers were skeptical: "How is that possible? A second marriage proposal? They're already married, why would they need to get married again?"
"Well, that's a long story." The man picked up a peanut and popped it into his mouth, looking like he didn't want to say more.
This piqued the curiosity of the others even more, who leaned closer and said, "Just tell us already, why are you still being so secretive?"
Seeing their reaction, the man hesitated for a moment, then slapped his thigh and said, "Fine, then I'll tell you about the things that Prince Gong's Mansion does in the capital today."
This story begins with Yu Nanqing's paralysis for three years following the Battle of Xiaoshui.
When Su Wanyan married into Prince Gong's mansion, it was a forced marriage in her place. She had no dowry and no betrothal gifts. She was a discarded pawn in the Marquis of Yuanning's mansion.
Therefore, according to the circumstances at the time, Yu Nanqing and Su Wanyan did not go through the traditional betrothal ceremony or the wedding ceremony.
Now that things have turned out well for Prince Gong's family, Prince Gong thought he should give his wife a proper wedding ceremony so that she would have no regrets in her life.
After this conversation, the people at the table nodded in agreement: "So Prince Gong really dotes on his wife. They've been married for so long, yet he still wants to hold a second wedding ceremony."
“Hey, wait a minute.” Someone asked, “Didn’t you say the prince was paralyzed? How come he looks perfectly fine to me? I heard that the prince was the one leading the army when the Great Jin and the East Sea went to war a while ago.”
"Hey, now that you mention this, I have something to say!" The man chewed on another peanut.
She recounted in detail how the Prince Gong's fortunes changed after Su Wanyan entered the mansion.
