Chapter 208 Extra: If Pei Yan was reborn (17)
It was already noon, and the early summer sun was a little hot. There was an ice jar in the carriage, which was very helpful in dispelling the stuffy air.
Jiang Shuyi was carried all the way from the peach forest to the carriage. Many noble ladies and gentlemen who were out for an outing saw her along the way. She was not shy at all and even seemed a little proud.
You see, the Crown Prince likes her so much, no one else can possibly dream of becoming his consort!
When she was put into the carriage, or to be more precise, onto the soft couch in the carriage, and Pei Yan began to untie the jade belt around her waist, Jiang Shuyi realized something was wrong.
She propped herself up and sat up, and asked in confusion, "What is the prince going to do?"
Pei Yan regained some calmness due to the voice. He closed his eyes and stopped his actions for the time being.
The carriage was tall and spacious. Pei Yan stood in front of the couch, looking down at Jiang Shuyi. Just like she had tried to seduce him the day before, everything was ready and the choice was left to her.
He took Jiang Shuyi's hand, put it on his waist, and asked her, "Do you want to take off this jade belt?"
Jiang Shuyi quickly shook her head.
The jade belt was perfectly placed around his waist, why did she want to untie it?
Pei Yan took a deep breath and sneered angrily: "If you can't understand me, whose are you going to solve? Pei Rui's, right?"
Jiang Shuyi was shocked and confused: "Why should I untie someone's belt?"
Pei Yan said coldly: "What do you want to do? Do you know that women's bare feet cannot be seen by men outside? You took off your stockings in front of Pei Rui. Are you going to marry him and leave me? Have you forgotten that I warned you on the day you entered the East Palace that you can only be mine for the rest of your life?"
Jiang Shuyi felt very aggrieved seeing his aggressive look.
She stretched out her hand to fasten the jade belt around Pei Yan's waist, while complaining sadly: "I don't know who to marry. Brother Crown Prince, you don't want to marry me, but you don't want to let me go. Don't you really treat me as a spoiled child..."
"When did I say I wouldn't marry you?!"
Pei Yan suppressed his rage, grabbed Jiang Shuyi's wrist, and said in a low voice: "I told Xiaoquan all the words I said to reassure you before, didn't I?"
Jiang Shuyi did not give in either, and argued angrily: "Brother Prince said he wanted to marry me, but he also gave me a difficult question, asking me to think about why I feel any different towards you, what exactly are my feelings for you? How can I figure it out by myself? I can only meet some men outside of my family, just in case there is someone who I fall in love with at first sight——"
Before she could finish her words, Jiang Shuyi was grabbed by the back of her neck. The towering jade mountain pressed down on her with a fierce and murderous aura, blocking the second half of her words before she could finish them.
Jiang Shuyi's eyes widened.
She didn't breathe well until she anxiously patted the prince's back, and he slowly let go of her with a look of unsatisfied satisfaction.
Pei Yan lowered his eyes and looked at her bright red lips, as if drinking morning dew, and pressed his forehead against hers, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Do you know what you can do with your husband but not with your brother?"
Jiang Shuyi was gasping for breath, she was still in shock.
Hearing Pei Yan's question, she raised her red eyes, shook her head and said fearfully: "Then Brother Crown Prince should just stay my brother. I don't like this..."
So scary.
Pei Yan was so angry that he laughed.
"It's too late." He said mercilessly: "Before I came here, I had ordered the Secretariat to draft an imperial edict to make you the Crown Princess. Jiang Shuyi, there are much more cruel things to do on the wedding day. It's too early for you to retreat now."
Jiang Shuyi was so frightened that her eyes welled up with tears, and she wasn't even that happy about being made the Crown Princess.
It turns out that couples have to bite each other's mouths...
This is already scary enough today, does it need to be even more cruel?
She asked pitifully, "Will it bleed?"
Pei Yan's eyes darkened a little, staring at her intently: "You will."
Jiang Shuyi whimpered and closed her eyes.
She wants to escape from marriage!
*
It was impossible to escape the marriage, so after returning to the palace, Pei Yan assigned several maids to teach her about matters between men and women.
In Pei Yan's mind, these were things he should teach personally, but in this situation, someone needed to tell Jiang Shuyi that it was normal and all couples would do it.
After all, she seemed to be really frightened in the carriage, and no matter how he coaxed her, she refused to touch his lips.
Jiang Shuyi's face has been blushing these days.
She wanted to throw away those books and pictures after taking one look at them, but the nanny was still explaining them enthusiastically.
"Don't worry, Crown Princess. People will feel uncomfortable when they first have sex, but as time goes by, they will get used to it."
The nanny spoke with a smile, and Jiang Shuyi felt a little hot all over.
Is it interesting? She just wants the prince to hold her and coax her for the rest of her life...
Pei Yan seemed to be in a hurry and postponed the ceremony of marrying the Crown Princess to half a month later. The Ministry of Rites and various departments in the palace were all preparing furiously.
The wedding dress was also delivered early.
Jiang Shuyi was a little angry at first. The clothes she wore every day took at least ten days or half a month to make. How could such an important wedding dress only take three or four days?
It seems that the prince just deals with it!
However, when she saw the wedding dress, Jiang Shuyi was so amazed that she forgot everything.
Every detail of the fiery red dress was embroidered with exquisite workmanship and inlaid with pearls and gemstones, making it sparkle at first glance. The Crown Princess was the wife of the crown prince, and on her long skirt was embroidered a noble and proud phoenix, with its feathers decorated with tiny pearl foils, dazzling in the sunlight.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived—"
After hearing the report, Jiang Shuyi did not even look up, but carefully stroked the phoenix on her dress.
Pei Yan was quite satisfied with her expression.
It was worth it that he started drawing the picture himself and gave it to the palace maids to make since the day she came of age.
He walked to Jiang Shuyi and naturally put his arms around her waist: "Do you like it?"
Jiang Shuyi was immersed in the beauty of the dress and nodded repeatedly: "I love it so much! I can't wait to wear it now!"
Pei Yan chuckled and coaxed her: "You can wear as much as you want on the wedding day. Do you want to get married?"
Jiang Shuyi continued to nod: "I want to!"
Pei Yan seemed helpless and indulgent: "Then for your sake, I will ask the Ministry of Rites to come a few days earlier."
After all, my father doesn’t have many days left to live.
*
Jiang Shuyi was sent back to the Jiang Mansion the day before the wedding.
The palace sent people to the Jiang family in advance to decorate the house, hanging lights and decorations everywhere, paving the floor with brocade, and even replacing the furnishings.
Knowing that Jiang Shuyi and her parents were not on good terms, she just borrowed a place to get married, without having to say goodbye to her parents and brothers.
Because she entered the palace at the age of ten and did not have to have servants at home to serve her, Jinzhu has now married the housekeeper in the mansion, and Yuzhu has also gone to serve the fifth lady, Jiang Xianrong.
Upon learning that she was going to marry into the palace, the two maids came to say goodbye.
Yuzhu is always taciturn, with only relief and joy in her eyes; however, Jinzhu is smart and has endless auspicious words to say.
Jiang Shuyi treated them equally and let Fang Chu give them some silver as a reward.
In the past few days, many guests came to the Jiang Mansion to congratulate them.
After seeing off Jinzhu, Yuzhu and the others, Cuiping came in and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I don't know how funny it is. When I was busy in the front yard, I heard Miss Miao, the granddaughter of Marquis Chengping, discussing with another girl about becoming a nun. The other girl said seriously that there was no peace anywhere and it was better to keep quiet in the chaos. As a result, her brother heard it and immediately changed his face and begged for mercy, saying that it was all a joke."
Jiang Shuyi also laughed.
Miss Miao, must be the sister who accompanied her to light lanterns at the palace banquet a long time ago.
As for the other girl, Jiang Shuyi asked curiously, "Who is she from?"
Cui Ping smiled and replied, "She is the daughter of the doctor of the Ministry of Justice. She is famous for her gentle and quiet temperament. Who would have known that she has this side?"
