"Let me go!"
Pei Ling was still angry and kept twisting her body, trying to get out of Wang You's embrace.
In the past, she certainly wouldn't have dared to be so reckless, but since returning to the capital, the two have been in more contact, and their relationship has become increasingly familiar and ambiguous.
She was not an unmarried girl, and she could see the infatuation and care in his eyes.
She understood his special status, which is why she dared to come alone to request the imperial decree to grant them marriage.
Wang You stretched out his arms and tightly embraced the petite body in his arms, his movements both forceful and gentle.
Only when the person in his arms slowly stopped resisting did he rest his chin on the top of her head and let out a satisfied sigh:
"lady……"
Unlike the other eunuchs' thin voices, Wang You's voice was deep and hoarse.
Hearing the voice beside her, Pei Ling's face quickly turned red, but she was still bothered by his behavior in the imperial study earlier, and complained softly:
"Why are you holding me if you don't like me?"
“Madam…you have no idea how happy I am! I’ve never dared to hope for such a thing…that you would also be interested in me. But I’m also very apprehensive. I’m just a eunuch, not even a man. How could I dare to disrespect you?”
Pei Ling's image was deeply etched in Wang You's mind as soon as he entered the palace.
But at that time, she was the noble eldest daughter-in-law of a marquis's mansion, while he was just a lowly eunuch.
Later, she fell from a height into a mud pit.
But to him, she was still the bright moon hanging in the sky, someone he would never dare to touch.
Therefore, he always avoided people when he offered help, for fear of getting involved with her and being looked down upon.
In fact, he knew that with his merit in supporting the emperor this time, even if he disobeyed the imperial decree regarding the marriage, he would not be severely punished.
But at that moment he backed down.
This might be his only chance in this life; if he gives it up, he may never be able to touch that bright moon again...
Pei Ling slowly turned around, stood on tiptoe, and reached out to cup the handsome face in front of her.
"I don't care about any of that. I just want to be with you. I don't care what others say."
Faced with her heartfelt confession, Wang You's eyes immediately welled up with tears. He hugged the woman in his arms even tighter, as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones.
"lady……"
...
When the imperial decree of marriage was delivered to the Xie family, everyone was shocked, especially Madam Xie.
Of course, she wasn't unwilling for her daughter-in-law to remarry.
Rather, she felt it was a real injustice that Pei Ling, who was so outstanding, married a eunuch.
But after hearing that Wang You had secretly given her the silver notes during her exile and had sent people to take care of her along the way, her opinion of him completely changed.
Upon hearing that it was an imperial edict from Pei Lingqiu, they also sincerely wished the two of them well.
Having witnessed the hardships of the people during these long and arduous days of rebellion, Madam Xie's thinking had already undergone a significant change.
Especially now that her daughter-in-law has become the emperor, the Xie family has also risen in status. Those who used to kick the Xie family when they were down are now fawning over her.
Finally, she got her revenge.
However, the thought of her grandchildren leaving the Xie family mansion with her still made Madam Xie reluctant to part with them.
Not only her, but Pei Ling's four-year-old twin sons, Xie Wen and Xie Xingye, were also reluctant to part with their grandmother.
Pei Ling was also very conflicted about this, after all, her mother-in-law had always treated her very well, unlike other mothers-in-law in high-class families who mistreat their daughters-in-law.
After learning about this, Wang You spent a lot of money to buy a house next to the Xie family mansion, and the house was registered under Pei Ling's name.
This move impressed everyone in the Xie family and deeply moved Pei Ling.
Soon it was the eighth day.
Logically, the bride should marry from her parents' home, but the Pei family had severed ties with Pei Ling long ago, fearing they would be implicated when the Xie family's property was confiscated.
Since Lin Yan ascended the throne, the Pei family has visited several times in an attempt to ease tensions, but Pei Ling has refused each time.
So today she is marrying from the Xie family.
The Xie family mansion and the Wang family mansion were separated by only one wall, so Wang You had the wedding procession circle around the bustling streets.
Although Pei Ling was remarrying, the wedding was grand and solemn because of the groom's attention and the fact that it was a marriage bestowed by the emperor.
The common people had never heard of a eunuch getting married before, and they flocked to the streets to watch.
Today, Wang You was dressed in a groom's attire, which made his handsome and youthful face even more striking.
He attracted the attention of many girls in the crowd. At that moment, they completely forgot his identity as a eunuch and their eyes followed him.
Given Wang You's ruthless image as the head of the Eastern Depot, and the fact that the marriage was bestowed by the Emperor, the common people dared not discuss it openly, but could only talk about it in hushed tones.
The sound still reached the bridal sedan chair, but Pei Ling was prepared and didn't take their sarcasm to heart.
One hour later.
The bridal sedan chair was finally carried to the Wang residence.
Since Wang You had no family, all the Xie family members came, and Madam Xie sat in the high seat during the wedding ceremony.
In a secluded corner.
Lin Yan and Xie Muqing intertwined their fingers and smiled at each other.
Now that they have a special status, they cannot openly attend lively events and can only travel incognito with their bodyguards.
Of course, Wang Youpei Ling and the Xie family were aware of this matter.
Looking at the lively yet familiar scene before her, Wang Yueshan's eyes began to redden. She could only lower her head and drink to hide the bitterness in her heart.
Although she could only be a concubine due to special circumstances, her husband prepared a solemn and unconventional wedding for her.
For this, he was impeached several times by his colleagues.
According to custom, a concubine should only be allowed to enter the mansion in a small sedan chair. However, that man defied all conventions and allowed her to enter the Xie mansion through the main gate in a bridal sedan chair, dressed in a phoenix coronet and wedding robes.
The wedding ceremony that a legal wife should have was not missed.
Despite being born a lowly maid, she was more precious than a pearl in that man's eyes.
Many times, she felt that the man was too meticulous for a military general.
Gradually, Wang Yueshan's eyes filled with tears, and the clear scene before her eyes became blurry and indistinct.
Not only that, but she also seemed to have hearing problems.
She actually heard the person calling her name right next to her ear!
"Moon, I'm back..."
