On the third day of the twelfth month, the eldest daughter of Duke Cheng'en got married.
Because Dan Ruo refused the Ning family's request to assassinate the Regent, it was believed that the daughter they had raised for more than ten years had been raised in vain. She became an ungrateful person before she even married the Regent and was no longer useful to the family.
Could it be that he was holding a grudge against her for sending her to the temple to practice asceticism for three years without giving her any money? But that was also a plan to prepare for her future benefits.
Duke Cheng'en felt that his wife had not raised Danruo well before, and he was furious. He was determined to curb Danruo's temper.
Let her know that without children, she can't rely on a man's favor alone, and in the end she still has to rely on the Ning family to live a good life of luxury.
But face still needs to be maintained. When the Regent Princess gets married, the dowry is stipulated to be 128 loads.
However, it was no longer the dowry prepared for the original owner three years ago. It was mostly cloth and other useless things that took up space.
Caiyue was so angry that tears were about to fall when she saw the old cloths with old patterns in the warehouse being replaced into Danruo's dowry box. Although the Regent's Palace was in a hurry, the betrothal gifts they sent were not vague.
The marriage of the eldest daughter of Duke Cheng'en was simple. They just said that the time was too tight and no one could find any fault with it.
The Regent personally welcomed the bride in this wedding, which was held on a grand scale. Money was distributed to the people along the way, and the house was packed with guests.
This shows how much the Regent values the Princess.
This also surprised everyone. They thought that the Regent married the eldest daughter of Duke Cheng'en to humiliate her. After all, the cancellation of the engagement caused a sensation.
The pride of the generation lost the throne and was abandoned by the beauty. He did not expect that the late emperor was so fond of him. Now he is extremely powerful, but it was hurt in that place. No matter how powerful he is, he has no heirs to inherit it, so it is useless to marry a beauty.
As the legitimate mother of the Prince Regent and the aunt of the Princess Regent, the Queen Mother claimed to be ill and did not leave the palace to attend the wedding, which shows the attitude of the Queen Mother and her faction towards this marriage.
After being sent to the bridal chamber with great fanfare, the women of the royal family were scared away by Ji Chenglin's cold face.
There was no one in the room. Ji Chenglin lifted the veil and his heart skipped a beat. He had never thought that red would suit her so well, making her look as beautiful as a gorgeous peony.
Dan Ruo lowered her eyes, smiled faintly, and called softly, "Prince."
The soft and tender voice woke up Ji Chenglin who had just been stunned. He was stunned and looked a little annoyed. He didn't like the feeling of being out of control.
He took off the phoenix crown on Danruo's head, drank the wedding wine together, and then pulled down the red curtain.
After drinking the wine, Dan Ruo's snow-white neck turned pink, and her eyes were confused:
"Your Majesty, aren't you going to the front to greet the guests?"
Ji Chenglin's eyes darkened and his voice deepened:
"A single moment of springtime is worth a thousand gold. Princess, please don't let it go to waste."
He wanted to verify the feeling in his dream.
After saying this, he leaned down, causing ripples in the pond.
Han Shu, who was left at the banquet to entertain everyone, got drunk and vomited four or five times in one night. In the end, he had to bear all the consequences.
No one dared to force the Regent to drink, but Ji Chenglin had many supporters when he was a prince. On this happy day, these people were inevitably excited and pulled Han Shu to toast.
The next day, Danruo woke up in the man's arms, and the man was playing with her hair.
Ji Chenglin saw the girl in his arms with her red lips slightly open and her cute eyes looking confused as she just woke up, and he couldn't help but kiss her.
Danruo felt the man's reaction and stepped back limply. Her face flushed and she stammered, "It's already bright outside."
Ji Chenglin stood up and did not continue.
"Princess, you weren't surprised by my behavior yesterday. Did you also meet me in your dreams?"
Dan Ruo rolled his eyes in confusion.
"What dream? I've never had a dream before."
Ji Chenglin no longer cared about the answer. After all, he was actually feeling much better now. The depression he had felt for the past three years was swept away, and he hugged Dan Ruo tightly in his arms.
"It was the princess who cured my hidden illness. I intend to repay her every night from now on."
Danruo blushed. She planned to get pregnant as soon as possible, and she didn't want to miss out on a full night's sleep.
The two got up, and Ji Chenglin planned to take Danruo to see his aunt, Madam Li.
Mrs. Li is currently helping to take care of the internal affairs of the Regent's Palace. So when she woke up early in the morning and learned that the principal wife had asked for water five times last night, she was surprised and then ecstatic. She went directly to the small Buddhist temple to kneel down and thank her devoutly.
After the maid who was sent earlier was sent away by Ji Chenglin, she thought she was not well yet. Considering Ji Chenglin's face, she did not dare to ask or arrange for anyone else.
After all, she is not her biological mother, and it is already good enough for her to live in the palace and lead the life of an old lady.
Madam Li's daughter, Li Wanqing, heard the news from her mother. After being ecstatic, she shyly pulled Madam Li to the bedroom and sent away all the maids and servants.
Li Wanqing looked at her mother hesitantly: "I want to marry my cousin."
Madam Li was stunned for a moment, then she pinched her, feeling very disappointed. "Your cousin just got married yesterday. Are you going to marry him as a concubine? It would be better for you to use your cousin's influence to marry into a good family and become his wife."
Li Wanqing's tears fell, and she said stubbornly:
"I just like my cousin. He was inhuman before, but now he has recovered. Naturally, I have to marry him."
Mrs. Li knew that she could not keep her daughter:
"A while ago, the Princess of Ming County told mother that she wanted her son to marry you. When he inherits the title, you will be the Princess of Ming County. Mother will agree to it in a few days."
Li Wanqing threw the cup and said, "I won't marry a man from a declining royal family."
Mrs. Li was furious. She was really thinking about her daughter:
"At least you will have a life of luxury. You are just the daughter of a deceased censor. If you marry too high, you will suffer in the future."
