Chapter 261 Taming (Finale)
The hand pressing on her lower back tightened slightly.
Pei Jingxu avoided the man's gaze in a panic and whispered, "Then please be patient, sir..."
A muffled laugh came from the man above her head. He lowered his head and held her earlobe in his mouth: "A Xu, help me."
…
Pei Jingxu felt that Rong Jianxue would be unconditionally tolerant and biased towards her in every aspect.
But in this matter alone, he would never let himself suffer any loss!
Having inherited the throne not long ago, and having to deal with the wedding ceremony, Rong Jianxue has been enduring a lot of hardship these days.
Now that I finally had the chance to see her, I said a few words to her and couldn't hold back any longer.
He didn't dare to move her, nor did he even urge her.
All the rhythm is in her hands.
It's just that she is really bad.
Rong Jianxue frowned slightly, held her in his arms, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Pei Jingxu, I have to return it..."
These months will eventually pass.
Pei Jingxu didn't care at all, and her behavior was so bad that it made the man tremble.
"Repaying the debt is something Pei Jingxu will have to face three months from now. She's not the Pei Jingxu of today."
She has a lot of bad ideas.
--
Even though the wedding ceremony was held in a hurry, its scale and grandeur were unparalleled since ancient times.
Normally, such a grand wedding ceremony would have been criticized by the world as it happened shortly after the emperor passed away.
But who could blame the fact that the two people holding the wedding ceremony now are the emperor and queen who saved the entire capital city when the army invaded?
The people were all smiling and every household rushed to tell the news.
Pei Jingxu looked at the scene where the streets were deserted and tightened the round fan in his hand nervously.
The wedding ceremony was unprecedentedly grand, but Pei Jingxu only had to go through very few procedures. Most of the time, he just had to sit in the sedan chair and wait quietly.
Even so, Rong Jianxue was worried that she would feel uncomfortable, so she covered the sedan chair with cushions one after another, fearing that she would feel any discomfort.
The Rong couple did not attend the wedding ceremony.
Earlier, Rong Jianxue asked Jiang Hui to send the two of them out of the capital and settle down in a house outside the capital.
As for Rong Xuanzhou, he was a general of a country after all, and still a minister of the Yunlan court, so Rong Jianxue didn't say anything more.
When they were worshipping in the hall, placed on the altar were the emperor's personal sword and the tablet of Pei Jingxu's father.
"Bow to Heaven and Earth——"
The two faced outside the door and saw the vast sky and earth, clear rivers and peaceful seas.
"Two bows to the parents—"
On the hall, Rong Jianxue held his red silk and bowed slightly with her.
"Husband and wife, bow to each other——"
The two stood facing each other.
Pei Jingxu heard that when a couple bows to each other, the wife should lower her head a little lower than the husband's, which means that the wife is willing to follow her husband and their love will last forever.
Pei Jingxu felt that this was awkward, but she didn't mind being a little lower than Rong Jianxue.
——She was really grateful to him.
But when she bent down a little, a hand reached out and supported her forehead.
The precious phoenix corona jingled, and she heard a man's low and calm voice even lower.
"Pei Jingxu, just look forward."
"I'll be the one following."
The believers bowed to show their complete loyalty.
"The ceremony is over——"
In an instant, firecrackers rang out all around and congratulations were endless.
…
Because Rong Jianxue had not yet truly inherited the throne, their wedding was held in Rong Jianxue's new house.
Pei Jingxu sat on the bed in the bridal chamber and rubbed his neck uncomfortably.
Hongyao slipped into the room and whispered, "Young Master, Young Master... His Majesty said that since you are pregnant, the Phoenix Coronet and wedding dress are too heavy. You can just take them off when you return to your room."
If granted amnesty.
Pei Jingxu hurriedly asked Hongyao to help her remove all the heavy things on this end, and she felt like her head had become three pounds lighter.
"Miss, you haven't eaten yet, right? His Majesty prepared a midnight snack for you, from Simeizhai. Please fill your stomach first. His Highness is drinking with Young Master Pei."
Pei Jingxu smiled helplessly upon hearing this: "Is Pei Huaifeng still a child? Rong Jianxue just lets him do whatever he wants?"
"Young Master Pei is very happy that the young lady is getting married today. You didn't see it. When he was praying to heaven and earth, Young Master's eyes were red and golden beans were dripping."
Pei Jingxu's eyebrows softened a little.
Forget it, let them be.
"Where's the midnight snack? I need to eat something. I haven't eaten much all day. I'm starving."
"Here, here, your Majesty has peeled the shrimp for the girl."
…
The main courtyard was filled with guests and the aroma of wine filled the air.
Pei Huaifeng and Rong Jianxue sat together, and Pei Huaifeng kept pouring wine into Rong Jianxue.
When the guests and ministers saw this, no one dared to step forward to stop it.
——This, this, this, one is His Majesty, and the other is the Queen’s younger brother, they dare not help either of them!
At the table, Pei Huaifeng's eyes were hazy with drunkenness. He squinted at the calm and unhurried man in front of him: "You, why aren't you drunk?"
Rong Jianxue didn't answer his question, but raised his eyebrows slightly: "What do you want to ask me?"
Didn't you get him drunk just to trick him into talking?
Pei Huaifeng burped, but luckily he was still conscious: "You, you have to be good to my sister, understand..."
"Otherwise, I will take my sister and my nephew and run away, and never let you see her again!"
Rong Jianxue took a sip of wine and nodded slightly: "This is what I should have done."
Pei Huaifeng narrowed his eyes: "Rong Jianxue, do you know that my sister is actually having a very difficult life..."
"I had a dream a few days ago. I dreamt that there was something calling itself a 'system'. It kept talking to itself, saying it could help me realize any wish and gain everyone's love."
Pei Huaifeng sneered: "But I don't need to be loved by everyone."
"As long as I love Sister, I will feel at ease."
So he turned it down without a second thought.
Rong Jianxue tapped the table with her fingertips, and said nothing when she heard Pei Huaifeng's almost "wild and unimaginative" rumors.
"Rong Jianxue, tell me the truth," Pei Huaifeng cleared his mind and looked at him seriously. "If, if my sister can't shoot that witch Bai Shutong, can you save the capital? Can you save all the people in the capital?"
At that time, he was neither hasty nor slow, as if he was sure that she would win the battle.
Rong Jianxue's eyes were cold and calm, without a trace of drunkenness. "Do you know what the Bai family relied on to escape danger and death so many times?"
Pei Huaifeng frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and shook his head.
"It's love," Rong Jianxue said calmly, "It's the love that men have, which is both abundant and thin."
Pei Huaifeng frowned, as if he didn't understand what Rong Jianxue said.
“So, I allowed her to be so angry and eager for quick success that she shallowly and ignorantly took down Shen Qianfan, Shen Huaichen, Rong Xuanzhou, and even the Emperor.”
But that "love" is too shallow.
So shallow that it can't even stand any test.
"So, even if Ah Xu didn't come up with a real way to kill Bai in the end, the armor she forged with that cheap love is ridiculously flimsy," Rong Jianxue narrowed her eyes. "If I use all my strength, I can still kill her."
"Then, I will confer all those merits upon her."
He wanted her to be admired by everyone and become famous.
Pei Huaifeng seemed to have sobered up.
His pupils narrowed slightly, and he asked him in a deep voice, "When did you realize something was wrong?"
"Although Rong Xuanzhou is stupid, he's not so stupid as to not know right from wrong. When the two children cried and complained, he simply assumed it was Ah Xu's fault without any reasoning. That's when I realized something was wrong."
Pei Huaifeng's eyes were cold, and he looked at him as if he was looking at a ghost. "So, you assassinated Bai Shutong overtly and covertly no less than a hundred times, just to test these things?"
Rong Jianxue remained noncommittal: "I need to investigate the reason why she escaped death."
Besides, killing her a few more times is never a bad thing.
Pei Huaifeng took a deep breath, his expression even colder: "Rong Jianxue, have you ever thought that if all these crazy ideas of yours are wrong, the entire capital will be buried with your arrogance."
After a pause, Pei Huaifeng frowned and looked at him: "So, Rong Jianxue, are you using the lives of the people of the entire capital to gain those good reputations for my sister?"
Rong Jianxue didn't say anything.
is the default.
Pei Huaifeng shook his head and looked at Rong Jianxue with an even more sinister look: "Rong Jianxue, why didn't I realize before that you are so crazy and paranoid?"
Rong Jianxue chuckled and subconsciously rubbed her fingertips: "You should ask your sister about this."
Mo Tong's eyes were cold, like a beast baring its fangs: "The rope is in her hand."
There is a beast inside him.
He tamed himself and handed the rope to her hands with his own hands.
From then on, he was ruled, controlled, and decided by her.
…
It was late at night when I returned to the bedroom.
Rong Jianxue walked to the bed, but saw that she had obediently covered herself with the quilt and was sleeping soundly.
The man's brows softened a little.
He took off his robe and put his arms around her waist.
Pei Jingxu's eyelashes moved, and her voice was sticky: "Rong Jianxue, you're back..."
He smiled and kissed her between the eyebrows.
"Yeah, I love you too."
…
In the past, Rong Jianxue prayed to the gods and Buddhas when he was in the Randeng Temple.
"I, the disciple, wish to see all living beings and pray to the gods and Buddhas for their favor."
The gods and Buddhas heard his prayers.
So she came looking for him.
Passing through thousands of mountains and tens of thousands of rivers.
