"Ugh, stop reading! Your reading is giving me a headache!"
Where is the Prince of Jibei?
"King of Jibei! Your complexion looks rosy. Don't rush into the bridal chamber tonight; let's drink until we drop!"
Enjoy your last days of freedom!
Upon hearing this, it was unmistakably Xue Deyi's voice.
These days, the southwest disaster relief efforts need manpower, the Wusun are in turmoil, and there are rebels stirring up trouble on the northern border. Many military officers have been sent out by the imperial court.
However, Xue Deyi was the garrison commander of the capital and was required to remain in the capital to maintain its security, so he was not sent out.
"Come quickly, today I, the king, want to have a good drink with you!"
Jin Jin put her arm around Xue Deyi's shoulder and pulled him inside.
Suddenly, he stopped and patted Xue Deyi on the shoulder. "You go in first, I'll be right back."
Xue Deyi glanced at him suspiciously, then found a seat and sat down.
Jin Jinzhi walked to the door and saw Hong Qiu'er, Cao Canjun, and Yan Ying greeting the guests.
Jin Jinzhi pulled Yan Ying aside and whispered, "Yan Ying, go and guard the gate of the mansion. Don't let anyone who isn't involved in the matter in."
"Also, anyone who tries to cause trouble, throw them out with sticks."
Yan Ying looked at Jin Jinzhi, pondering the meaning of his words, and then nodded, "Your subordinate understands."
"Your Highness, rest assured, as long as I am here, anyone who wants to cause trouble or upset the Princess will not be allowed to enter."
Jin Jinzhi nodded slightly and turned to walk towards the front hall.
...
Inside the Prince of Jibei's mansion, the front hall was bustling with activity.
Inside the bright red bridal chamber, Yun Duoduo peeked around through the gap in her veil. The room was large, and the tables, chairs, and cabinets were all decorated with bright red "double happiness" characters.
She sat on the bed waiting for the veil to be lifted. After a while, she couldn't stand it anymore. Sitting upright like this was really tiring. She hadn't had a chance to relax properly the whole way.
She pulled off her veil, leaned to one side and half-reclined on the couch, looking around. She saw peanuts, red dates, longans, melon seeds and lotus seeds spread on the silk quilt behind her.
"Ninth Aunt, are you hungry?"
Yun Duoduo was startled by the soft, sweet voice behind her. She turned around, but with too much force, her phoenix crown almost fell off.
"No hair?"
It turned out to be his second nephew, Yun Shaomu.
"Ninth Aunt, Shao Mu's hair has grown a lot."
Yun Shaomu scratched his head in dissatisfaction.
"Why did you come here?" Yun Duoduo looked at him in surprise.
How did you get in?
"I was curious, so I came in to take a look. When I saw someone come in, I hid behind a pillar."
Yun Shaomu grinned and pointed to the pillar next to the wardrobe.
"Ninth Aunt, have some braised pork knuckle!"
Yun Shaomu took out a braised pork knuckle wrapped in a handkerchief from his pocket, but the pork knuckle was very oily, and Yun Shaomu's hands were covered in oil.
"Oh dear."
Looking at the oil on his hands and the beautiful red robe he had just put on, Yun Shaomu hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided not to rub the oil on his body.
Yun Shaomu placed the pork knuckle on the table.
"Ninth Aunt, have some cakes."
A soft, sweet voice came from behind.
"Big head?"
"You two little ones are here!"
Yun Shaoyuan touched his head and sighed, "Sigh, my head is indeed a bit big."
Goodness, her two good nephews were worried she would go hungry, so they took turns bringing her food.
"Yes, Ninth Aunt is a little hungry."
Yun Duoduo took a sip of tea, then held the braised pork knuckle in one hand and a pastry in the other and began to eat.
"Ninth Aunt, is this enough to eat?"
Yun Duoduo nodded, "Enough to eat, enough to eat."
"Ninth Aunt, let's go to the front hall and see what's going on!"
"Normally, I spend my days reading and practicing martial arts at the Prince Rui's residence, and the place has never been this lively before!"
After saying that, Yun Shaomu and Yun Shaoyuan crawled out through the secret passage under the bed.
There was a secret passage here?!
Yun Duoduo touched her mouth and wiped her hands clean.
After eating meat and starch, I felt very full.
Yun Duoduo listened listlessly to the lively conversations outside, and gradually felt sleepy.
She got up especially early this morning, and after all the commotion, she was full again, and let out a big yawn.
"Oh well, it's still a long time until tonight anyway, so I might as well take a nap first."
So, Yun Duoduo took off her shoes and lay comfortably on the bed.
...
At the gate of the Prince of Jibei's mansion, Shangguan Wanwan arrived with her maid to deliver congratulatory gifts, but was stopped at the gate by Yan Ying.
"Who are you? I am the princess of Loulan!" Shangguan Wanwan said with displeasure, looking at Yan Ying with a hint of anger in her voice.
[He's just a guard, how dare he stop this princess?!]
"Yes, our princess came with good intentions to deliver congratulatory gifts, so why was she stopped at the gate of the manor?"
"Is this how you treat guests in Nanyang?"
Shangguan Wanwan's maid stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at Yan Ying.
"Our princess has come to deliver congratulatory gifts, so we should at least invite her into the mansion for the wedding banquet, shouldn't we?"
"Ah, so the princess wants to attend the wedding banquet!"
"That's easy, the wedding banquet can be held there."
Yan Ying pointed to the wedding banquet on both sides of the aisle in front of her.
To share the joy with the people, Jin Jin ordered a banquet to be set up on both sides of the street, where anyone who wished the couple a long and happy marriage could come and enjoy the wedding feast.
“Princess, the banquets by the roadside and the banquets inside the palace are the same in terms of color and wine. It’s too crowded inside. There are some empty seats outside.”
"The weather is also quite nice today, Princess, why don't you come here for your wedding banquet?"
"How dare you, a princess of such noble status, sit at the same table and eat with these lowly commoners?!"
Shangguan Wanwan stomped her feet in anger.
Yan Ying frowned, his expression somewhat displeased. "Princess, if you don't want to leave, you can leave. Why call them lowly people?"
Seeing that Shangguan Wanwan was still relentless, Yan Ying simply put on a stern face: "I might as well say it bluntly, the prince and the princess have a very good relationship."
"I believe that the Prince will not take a concubine; this is a long-standing tradition of our Zhenbei Army."
"I advise the princess that no matter how many wicked thoughts she has, it will be useless."
"you?!"
"Why are you talking so rudely?!"
Having her thoughts exposed, Shangguan Wanwan turned pale, and the maid beside her also looked somewhat embarrassed.
"His Highness instructed his subordinates that anyone who caused trouble should be beaten out with sticks."
"Your subordinate has already been very polite to the princess."
Many guests were walking back and forth at the entrance of the Prince of Jibei's mansion. Shangguan Wanwan and her maid were blocked at the entrance, attracting the attention of the passing guests.
"Prince Rui has arrived!"
"The Second Prince has arrived!"
"The Third Prince has arrived!"
Several men with similar faces suddenly appeared at the entrance of the Prince of Jibei's mansion.
Several men rode in, their bearing imposing and their spirits high.
Shangguan Wanwan involuntarily took a few steps back, standing beside the stone lions at the entrance of the Prince of Jibei's mansion.
