Facing the wind, she felt an indescribable bitterness in her heart. Long Xiaomin was originally a spoiled young lady who had been spoiled by her family since she was a child.
But after meeting the person I love, everything changed...
Love can really change a person, but some people will be happy, while others will be unhappy...
…
Xiwangfu
After all the guests had left, Leng Xi returned to the bridal chamber. Following the matchmaker's instructions, he picked up the weighing rod and lifted the veil on Yu Qiaoqiao's head. However, her makeup was smudged and her face was pale.
She didn't even raise her head, probably because she didn't want to look at him any longer.
Leng Xi waved his hand, and the matchmaker and the maids retreated. He then said to her coldly:
"You saw what happened today. I fell in love with a girl named Long Xiaomin, but I ended up marrying you. As for that girl, I will take care of it."
"What do you want to do? Kill her like you killed her father?"
Yu Qiaoqiao's voice was extremely cold, and there was no trace of blood on her face.
Leng Xi looked at Yu Qiaoqiao with an icy expression, then suddenly opened his mouth and revealed a ferocious smile.
"Do you think I'm a particularly cruel person? Or do you think I'm not a human being at all?"
Yu Qiaoqiao snorted coldly, her expression still expressionless. "You can even kill the father of the woman you love. What else can't you do? I really didn't expect that the usually talkative and cheerful Prince Xi would be such a person."
“I was forced…”
Leng Xi suddenly grabbed Yu Qiaoqiao's collar, staring at her with a pair of crimson eyes, and roared, "I don't want this. Can't you see the situation at that time? If I don't kill him, he will kill me. Do you want me to die?"
Yu Qiaoqiao was not afraid of his anger at all. She stared at him with her handsome eyes and said word by word through gritted teeth:
"That's not an excuse. I only know that the dagger you threw hit him right in the heart. You didn't even intend to leave him any chance of survival."
Her words were like a bolt from the blue. Leng Xi was so shocked that he pushed Yu Qiaoqiao onto the bed and sneered:
"Hahaha! On my Lengxi wedding day, no matter who dares to cause trouble, the only outcome will be death."
After saying this, he flicked his sleeves and left, leaving Yu Qiaoqiao crying like a tearful person.
Ever since he killed that man, Yu Qiaoqiao felt that she had no hope in this life. She knew that she had married the wrong person, but she had no choice. It was her parents' order and the emperor's marriage. Who would care about her thoughts?
This wedding night was nothing but a mark of shame for her.
But it was better this way. She really couldn't face the man who had killed his beloved woman on their wedding day. This was a hurdle that she was afraid she would never be able to overcome in her lifetime.
That night, Leng Xi sat in the study all night, just sitting there blankly.
In the afternoon, he ordered people to check Long Xiaomin's whereabouts. The reply he received was that Long Xiaomin disappeared after kowtowed in front of her father's grave, and no one knew where she went.
Thinking of the desperate look in Long Xiaomin's eyes when she saw him during the day, he felt heartbroken. He clenched his fists tightly and pounded on his chest, punching again and again, trying to make himself feel better...

A month later, the peach blossoms in the yard had already fallen. Looking at the peach tree with only a few petals left, Luo Lan murmured to himself:
"Peach blossoms are the most beautiful flowers, but their blooming period is very short. Why can't they bloom for a longer time?"
Leng Yu held her hand tightly, looked at those stubborn peach petals, and sighed:
"It's so precious because it blooms for a short time. If it bloomed year-round, would anyone still care about it?"
Having said this, he reached out, put his arm around her shoulders, looked at the peach tree with her, and whispered softly:
"Go see Yu Qiaoqiao when you have time! This is what Lord Yu asked me to bring you today. He said that since Yu Qiaoqiao got married, she hasn't said anything when she returns to her parents' home. But he knows that she's not happy in Prince Xi's Mansion, and he wants you to go and counsel her."
"Would it be appropriate for me to go?"
"You're the most suitable person. Lord Yu thinks you're a sensible person. Yu Qiaoqiao had a good impression of you before. Perhaps she'd be willing to open up to you..."
"How's Lengxi doing lately?"
Leng Yu's brows tightened, a layer of dark mist covered his dark eyes, and he said in a cold voice:
"He stabbed the assassin to death at his wedding ceremony, and the emperor praised him highly. He also attended court peacefully and even volunteered to go to the Ministry of War, which the emperor approved. He also secretly arranged for staff in the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel. It seems he wants to do a lot."
Hearing this, Luo Lan raised his head and looked at him in surprise.
"You mean, Lengxi is gathering his forces?"
"There's a possibility..."
"Will that... pose a threat to you?"
Leng Yu shook his head calmly, "That won't happen. Father has already decided to appoint me as the Crown Prince, but I refused. The position of Crown Prince is too ostentatious. My current status as Regent is enough to make people jealous. If I take the Crown Prince position, it will be difficult for us to live in peace for a few days."
Listening to Leng Yu's words, Luo Lan suddenly felt an invisible pressure in her heart. She looked at the peach tree again with her eyes as clear as water, feeling extremely melancholy.
At dinner, Leng Yu specially ordered the kitchen to stew spare ribs and braised meat. He heard that Luo Lan didn't like to eat these days, so he asked the kitchen to make something she liked.
But looking at the table full of food, Luo Lan suddenly felt nauseous. He covered his mouth with his hand unconsciously, and waved his other hand repeatedly.
"I said I wanted to eat light food, why are there so many fish and meat?"
Leng Yu looked at her with some confusion.
"Is my wife ill? Should I call the imperial physician to come and see her?"
Luo Lan glared at him unhappily, "Your wife is a doctor. My illness doesn't need treatment. I know what's going on."
Although she looked very relaxed, Leng Yu still looked at her worriedly.
"What's going on? Ah Cai said you haven't been eating much lately. Why don't you ask the kitchen to make some porridge?"
Luo Lan looked at him, blinked a few times mysteriously, and then pointed to his lower abdomen.
"There's an extra little thing here, and he doesn't want me to eat more."
Hearing this, Leng Yu looked at her as if she didn't understand, "What did you say? There's something in your stomach? What is it? Are you sick?"
Looking at his silly look, Luo Lan pursed her lips and smiled secretly:
"Are you a fool? What could be here?"
Seeing her shy face, Leng Yu suddenly looked at her with eyes wide open in surprise.
"Madam, are you saying that you are pregnant?"
Luo Lan pursed her lips and nodded shyly, "Yeah!"
Hearing this great news, Leng Yu was so excited that his whole body was shaking. His hand holding the chopsticks was unsteady. He stared at her with eyes as big as copper bells and confirmed again: "My wife is really pregnant?"
