The Emperor and Empress personally came to the palace to preside over the wedding, a grand and solemn occasion. Jiang Meiyu, wearing a gorgeous wedding dress and surrounded by a group of maids, passed through gates and corridors and finally arrived at the main hall.
She felt a little tired, but she forced herself to follow the proper etiquette. She went through a series of elaborate rituals, such as worshipping heaven and earth and offering tea, and finally, with Keqing's support, she arrived at her bridal chamber. The bridal chamber was filled with a festive atmosphere, with red silk hanging on the walls and candles flickering with a warm glow.
Several maids bustled about the bridal chamber, arranging the bed and arranging the things. After a while, they finished their work, quietly left the room, and gently closed the door.
After they left, Jiang Meiyu couldn't wait to take off the veil on her head: "Oh, I'm so tired!"
Ke Qing immediately stepped forward and asked with concern: "Miss, are you tired? Let me massage you!" As she spoke, she gently massaged Jiang Meiyu's shoulders to help her relieve fatigue.
At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door. The master and servant became alert and quickly put the red veil back on. Jiang Meiyu sat down beside the bed, while Ke Qing stood quietly beside her.
The door slowly opened, and Prince Gong and a maid entered the room. The maid loudly announced the various wedding procedures, such as drinking from the wedding cup. Jiang Meiyu and Prince Gong completed all the rituals as instructed, and the whole process was filled with solemnity and warmth.
Finally, Prince Gong gently said to Jiang Meiyu, "Yu'er, I have asked the servants to prepare some food and bring it over. Eat something first, and then have a good rest. I still have to go out and drink with the guests."
Jiang Meiyu nodded obediently, a sweet feeling welling up in her heart. She knew that this man would accompany her for the rest of her life and become her support and partner.
Prince Gong deliberately swayed from side to side as he walked towards the bridal chamber. Jiazi behind him knew that his prince was not drunk at all, but was just pretending to be drunk for the guests to see.
When Prince Gong walked in, he closed the door behind him. Ke Qing heard the door close and immediately realized that the prince had returned, so she respectfully said, "Prince," and then bowed slightly.
Prince Gong waved his hand casually and ordered, "Go down!" Ke Qing obediently left the room. At this time, only Jiang Meiyu was still sleeping soundly in bed, not yet awake.
Prince Gong walked gently to the bedside, took off Jiang Meiyu's shoes, and then carefully picked her up and placed her on the pillow. At this moment, Jiang Meiyu had changed into a long silk dress, which made her waist look even slimmer and her chest look very full.
Prince Gong gazed intently at her smiling face and couldn't help but sigh, "How could such a beautiful woman exist in the world? Now she's my princess. I'm so lucky." He gently caressed her face, as delicate as a lotus emerging from the water, and slowly leaned in and kissed her. This kiss seemed to open Pandora's box, making his desire uncontrollable. The candlelight in the room flickered with their passion, and a raging fire was burning... (Please imagine the following plot)
The next morning, before daybreak, Ke Qing was already waiting at the door. She stood quietly, her gaze fixed intently, as if awaiting some important moment. Finally, the door slowly opened, and Prince Gong appeared. Ke Qing immediately stepped forward, bowed, and then went into the room to help Jiang Meiyu wash and dress. Today, they would enter the palace to pay their respects to the Emperor and Empress and offer them tea, so they had to prepare early.
After Jiang Meiyu and Prince Gong finished washing up and enjoying breakfast, they took a carriage to the palace. They first arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation to pay their respects to the Emperor. The Emperor was very pleased with the marriage. When he saw Jiang Meiyu, he couldn't help but be surprised: "The princess is so beautiful! Why didn't I know about it before?" As soon as he said this, the emperor realized his mistake and quickly explained: "The Grand Tutor has indeed protected his beloved daughter very well. Now that my daughter is married to Prince Gong, I am very pleased!"
It turns out that the emperor has a special hobby, which is to admire beautiful women. Concubine Zhen, the mother of the current second prince, Prince Tuo, is famous for her stunning beauty and has become the emperor's most favored concubine, unmatched by anyone.
Prince Gong certainly knew what kind of person his father was, and he didn't want to dwell on it any further, so he said coldly, "Father, your Majesty, your son Yu'er and I are going to pay our respects to your mother, so we won't bother you any longer."
The emperor's eyes flickered after hearing this, but he quickly regained his composure. He smiled faintly and said, "Alright, go ahead. By the way, tell your mother I'll be having lunch with her at Kunning Palace later so we can have a good family reunion." His gaze fell on Jiang Meiyu again, as if trying to discern something from her face.
Prince Gong and Jiang Meiyu exchanged a glance, bowed, and said, "Yes, Father. I will tell Mother right away." Then, they turned and left, leaving the Emperor standing there alone. However, they didn't know that behind them, a pair of eyes were fixed on Jiang Meiyu's back, unable to look away for a long time.
