Rong Chengxuan didn't stay any longer. He turned around with a smile and left the house to return to the front yard to meet the guests. Yun Wanwan stayed in the bridal chamber with the matchmakers and maids.
After Rong Chengxuan left, the two matchmakers in the bridal chamber reflected on the newlyweds' conversation, filled with envy. They had handled so many weddings, but this was the first time they had seen Rong Chengxuan so devoted to his wife, even considering the phoenix crown pressing against his neck.
Today's wedding banquet was very grand and lively. Not only were distinguished guests from the capital present, but even Jimeyi came out from the palace to offer congratulations.
Jime knew that Yun Wanwan and Liu Xueyan didn't get along well, so even though he loved Liu Xueyan so much, he ignored his pleading and left the palace alone to congratulate her.
However, Ji Moyi did not stay for too long. He just toasted Rong Chengxuan with a glass of wine, asked the eunuch to bring up the gift, said a few auspicious words, and then returned to the palace.
He knew that although he was just a puppet emperor, he still had the status of an emperor. If he stayed here, the court officials would not be able to let go completely.
After Zimmer left, Rong Chengxuan didn't stay in the front yard for too long. He was thinking about Yun Wanwan who was still in the bridal chamber. He only drank three or four glasses of wine, asked Ye Lan to block it for him, and slipped back to the bridal chamber first.
Ye Lan looked at his prince's receding back, and then looked at himself who was pushed out as a shield by his prince. He was angry but dared not say anything. He could only accept his fate and accompany that group of drunkards.
Rong Chengxuan is getting married tonight. Even so, the court officials don't dare to get Rong Chengxuan drunk, and they can't let him go while Rong Chengxuan is here.
As soon as Rong Chengxuan left, they started fighting with Ye Lan, who was pushed out by Rong Chengxuan to block the wine. They couldn't get Rong Chengxuan drunk, but they could at least get Rong Chengxuan's guards drunk, right?
The first thing Rong Chengxuan did when he returned to the bridal chamber was to drive out the matchmakers and maids. After hurriedly lifting the veil for Yun Wanwan, the first thing he did was to considerately take off the heavy phoenix crown on her head.
Rong Chengxuan weighed the Phoenix Coronet in his hand and said seriously, "This Phoenix Coronet is indeed quite heavy in my hand..."
Yun Wanwan twisted her neck, which was extremely sore from the pressure of the phoenix crown all day. Furiously, she punched Rong Chengxuan, but her strength was like a cat's; it didn't hurt at all, just like a tickle. "It's all your fault. You made such a heavy phoenix crown. If you hadn't put a few more gems on it, I wouldn't be able to use it. I would be dead from the weight of it..."
Rong Chengxuan took Yun Wanwan in his arms and rubbed her neck lovingly. "I want Wanwan to be the happiest bride in all of Beichen. I wouldn't dare do that. I even wish I could have all the gems from Prince An's Mansion put on it."
Rong Chengxuan said it lightly, but Yun Wanwan only felt her neck aching again. She wanted to punch Rong Chengxuan a few more times, and this time she must beat him to death.
When the battle report from the front line arrived, Rong Chengxuan had already rubbed Yun Wanwan's neck to make it feel soothing. Yun Wanwan nestled comfortably in Rong Chengxuan's arms and didn't want to get up. She just leaned in Rong Chengxuan's arms, playing with his hair and laughing so hard that her stomach hurt. "You used to play with my hair, but after playing with your hair today, I realized how much fun it is. No wonder you always played with my hair and wouldn't let go."
Rong Chengxuan has never had any resistance to Yun Wanwan. What others do that is considered outrageous is non-existent to Yun Wanwan.
Today was his wedding day, and after a few drinks, he was still craving something. But seeing Yun Wanwan so engrossed in playing with her hair, he couldn't let her down, so he just had to endure it. After all, the night was long, so there was no way Yun Wanwan would play with his hair all night, right?
This was the scene Ye Lan saw when he came in. He looked at Yun Wanwan playing with her hair in Rong Chengxuan's arms, licked his lips, and wondered if something was wrong when he came in. Would Rong Chengxuan kill him himself soon?
Before Rong Chengxuan could get angry, Ye Lan passed on the intelligence he had just received to him, "Your Highness! The Western Zhou Dynasty is invading, and the border is in danger. Please give orders as soon as possible!"
Yun Wanwan had been playing with Rong Chengxuan's hair until she was a bit disoriented, but when she heard Ye Lan mention the invasion of Western Zhou, she immediately perked up. She sat up in Rong Chengxuan's arms and asked a crucial question, "Does the court have any capable generals who can be sent over?"
As far as Yun Wanwan knew, the original owner's adoptive father, General Yun - Yun Jinjiang, was a master of the Embroidery Fist faction in the court. His martial arts output value was not as high as hers, and no one knew how he became a general.
Ye Lan shook his head. Although he had drunk a lot of wine tonight, his mind was still clear. He was very clear when talking about things. "No, Princess. If the capital sends troops to support us, I'm afraid Your Highness will have to lead them personally."
After saying that, Ye Lan looked at Rong Chengxuan carefully. If possible, who would be willing to leave his beloved wife on his wedding night and lead the army to fight against the damn Western Zhou Dynasty?
Why did he choose such a day to go on the expedition when he could have gone on the expedition? If he were Rong Chengxuan, he would probably be furious by now.
Rong Chengxuan pursed his lips and didn't say a word. No one could tell what he meant. Ye Lan was so anxious that he was almost mad. He wanted to carry his prince directly into the palace.
Yun Wanwan quickly connected Xi Zhou's sudden expedition to the news she had heard while at Qingya Terrace. "Does Xi Zhou's expedition have anything to do with me?"
Ye Lan was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head. "Princess, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with you. What was said in the palace at that time was probably just an excuse for the Western Zhou Dynasty to go to war. The Western Zhou envoys just left the capital the day before yesterday, and today the news of the Western Zhou Dynasty's expedition came from the border. I'm afraid it was premeditated and they were just waiting for the excuse a few days ago."
Rong Chengxuan glanced at Yun Wanwan. Yun Wanwan had just married him today, and it was a good time for their wedding night, but he still had to hold it back because the Western Zhou expedition completely ruined his and Yun Wanwan's wedding night.
No matter how much Rong Chengxuan hated to part with Yun Wanwan, he wouldn't let himself get distracted by national affairs. He couldn't let the bridal chamber, a romantic affair, delay important matters.
So, he put his arm around Yun Wanwan and said, "I'll spare you tonight. I'll go to the palace first. But if I really have to go to war, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay by your side for a long time."
