The bridal sedan chair, accompanied by a series of banging and clanging, entered the palace and finally stopped at the princes' quarters.
With the help of the nanny, Yinzhen went to the bridal chamber in the main courtyard and sat down. He then entered and completed a series of ceremonies as instructed by the nanny before finally lifting the red veil.
It was at this time that he learned what his young wife looked like.
Ulanara was born with a dignified appearance and a grand demeanor, befitting a proper primary consort. However, she was still young at the time, and the baby fat on her face had not yet disappeared, making her look somewhat... cute.
Yinzhen was still only a thirteen-year-old boy. Even though he had been troubled by his adoptive mother's situation recently, he still felt a little nervous at this moment.
Although Yunyi was not getting married for the first time, she was only a ten-year-old girl at the time, so she pretended to be nervous and confused.
After lifting the red veil, he was about to go out to deal with the guests who came to celebrate the wedding. Seeing that Ulanara was still young, he said something gentle, which was rare for him.
"I'll go out first. You can change into some comfortable clothes and get something to eat!"
Yunyi gave a soft "hmm," and when she looked up, her eyes were bright. She smiled at Yinzhen and said, "This concubine thanks Your Highness for your concern."
Somewhat awkwardly, Yinzhen turned his head and coughed lightly, not daring to look at his little princess.
He said a couple more words and then quickly left, his back view looking somewhat like he was fleeing in panic.
Seeing Yinzhen like this, Yunyi held back her laughter until he was far away. Fortunately, there were only her two personal maids who had come with her from the Nala Mansion in the room at that moment, and no one else.
Wanzhou sighed helplessly. With her composed nature, she whispered a few words of advice: "Ge, you should be called Fujin now. Fujin, this is the palace. You are now the Fujin of a prince, so you should be dignified and composed."
"I understand, I understand. Wanzhou, you're right. I'll be more careful in the future."
Wanzhou is a maid who has served the original owner since childhood. She is sixteen years old this year, but she has the most stable personality. Jueluo was afraid that her daughter was too young to handle things, so she suggested talking to Wanzhou.
She needs to be strict outside and keep others in check, while at home she needs to constantly remind her master not to make mistakes.
That's why she spoke up to advise her daughter when she saw her daughter behaving somewhat rudely.
Yunyi knew Wanzhou's personality and what Jueluo had told her, which is why she admitted her mistake so quickly and wasn't angry.
The matter was thus dropped, and Wanzhou, accompanied by another maid, Nuanzhou, helped Yunyi change her clothes.
Having just finished bathing and changed her clothes, Yunyi heard the voice of a maidservant at the door.
"Madam, the master has instructed me to bring you some food."
Hearing the maid say this, Wanzhou's expression softened considerably. The Fourth Prince was doing this because he cared about his wife. As a maid who had been by his wife's side since childhood, she was naturally happy to see this happen.
She went out and brought in a food box containing a bowl of easy-to-eat chicken and pork porridge, along with several small dishes of refreshing pickled vegetables. The faint aroma filled Yunyi's nose, making her even hungrier.
She hasn't had a drop of water since she woke up this morning, and has only eaten a few snacks to fill her stomach. She's starving now.
Seeing such a delicious bowl of porridge, she finished it off in no time.
Although she wasn't quite full, at least her stomach wasn't so uncomfortable anymore. Yunyi wiped her mouth, took a sip of tea to rinse her mouth, and then asked Wanzhou to remove the food.
It's almost bedtime now, so it's not a good time to eat too much. A bowl of porridge will be enough to fill my stomach.
After finishing these tasks, Yunyi instructed Wanzhou to prepare a hangover soup for Yinzhen, then dismissed the two maids and went to bed... to sleep.
She's only ten years old, and she can't do anything indescribable with Yinzhen. After eating and drinking her fill, she felt very sleepy. Children shouldn't stay up late, or they won't grow tall, so of course she went straight to sleep.
When Yinzhen finished dealing with the guests outside and returned to the bridal chamber, his young wife was already asleep in bed.
Having experienced so many worlds, Yunyi's sleeping posture was extremely upright, unlike the unrestrained and rough manner of sleeping haphazardly.
Now that she was asleep, Yunyi looked much more serene, without the tense and strained feeling she had just had.
Yinzhen looked at his little princess with curiosity, carefully examining her appearance. After a long while, he shook his head helplessly, and the corners of his mouth seemed to turn up slightly.
Thinking of the smell of alcohol on his body, Yinzhen turned around and prepared to take a bath and change his clothes before returning to rest.
Today is his wedding day, and normally the guests would try to get the groom drunk. But because he is still young, not many people did so, though not none did. So he still drank quite a bit tonight.
Although it was unclear whether he was completely drunk, he did smell rather unpleasant, reeking of alcohol.
After Yinzhen changed into his nightgown, Wanzhou had already served him the hangover soup she had prepared, and he was much more sober now.
Lying on the wedding bed, sharing a bed with a strange woman for the first time, Yinzhen felt strange and confused. He had many thoughts on his mind and couldn't fall asleep.
Ulanara was his wife, and they would spend their lives together from now on. Today she seemed like a good person, but without spending much time together, he didn't yet know her true character.
I only hope that Ulanara's future personality and behavior will truly be worthy of the title of a prince's wife, so that he will give her the respect she deserves.
His mind was filled with thoughts, sometimes about his wife, sometimes about his adoptive mother, Lady Tongjia, and sometimes about his birth mother, Consort De. Yinzhen's thoughts kept running through his mind, and eventually he drifted off to sleep.
The next day, when he got up, Yunyi was already up.
"My lord, you're up! I've already instructed the servants to bring breakfast over. Please come and eat after you've washed up!"
Ulanara's voice still carried a hint of childishness, unlike the clear and melodious voice of an adult woman. It took Yinzhen a moment to realize that he was already married and had a family.
As expected, his elder brother always said that getting married was good. With a wife managing the household, his life was indeed much more comfortable.
After he finished washing up, he was surprised to find that the table was full of his favorite dishes.
Seeing that Yinzhen was stunned for a moment, Yunyi explained, "I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I asked Zhong Mama, who serves you. She meant well and wanted me to serve you well, so she told me. Please don't blame her."
While explaining how she knew these things, Yunyi also defended Zhong Mama, who had leaked the information, in case Yinzhen was bothered.
Yinzhen felt a warmth in his heart at the little princess's actions.
