The doctor concubine who broke off the engagement was forced to rush to the wedding, but became the

It is March now, the weather is nice and the flowers are blooming, which is a good time for getting married.

The Lu Mansion hung up red silk in mid-March and prepared for the wedding of Lu Xiuzhu and Princess Anle.

One hundred and twenty sets of dowry were placed from the beginning to the end of Baoning Lane. In addition to the generous donation from Princess Yongtai, there were also rewards from the current emperor and the empress dowager.

Princess Anle Zhao Wuyou suddenly became the most envied woman among the noble ladies in Kyoto. Not only did she have a good family background and good looks, she also married well.

Zhao Wuyou sat on the five-stepped bed specially made for her by Princess Yongtai. She lifted a corner of the veil to look at the steps, corridors, windows, tables and benches within her field of vision, and felt that she was so happy in her life.

Why should we care why she came to this world? As long as the future she is heading for is what she expects, isn't it all good enough?

She sat under the eaves and eyebrows carved with dragons and painted with phoenixes, in this luxurious enclosure that was like a house, and fantasized about her happy life with the county horse.

The county horse would love her, she told herself.

The direct line of the Lu family had only one son for several generations, and the uncles had no contact with the Lu family due to early grudges, so no one came to the bridal chamber to talk to the new bride.

Zhao Wuyou sat there until the evening when he heard a creaking sound of a door opening. His palms were sweating from nervousness.

Then the door was closed and she smelled a strong odor of alcohol, which made her stomach sour.

Lu Xiuzhu walked drunkenly to the wide bedside, muttering, "Lift the veil."

Then he walked in front of Zhao Wuyou, stretched out his hand and pulled the veil off, and then muttered to himself: "It's finally over."

Then he fell on the bed, without even taking off his shoes, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Zhao Wuyou sat on the bed, looking at Lu Xiuzhu who was drunk on the side. He grabbed the hem of the wedding dress embroidered with hundreds of sons and thousands of grandsons with both hands, almost tearing the embroidery threads.

She was looking forward to a brand new beginning, but he said, "It's finally over."

Zhao Wuyou closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she was already full of anger. She sneered at the man on the bed, "Are you still thinking about that woman Xie Zhichan? Haha, she has been married to Pei Yi, that useless man, by my uncle the emperor! I heard that Pei Yi is useless, and he even sprained his back while making love with her in the room! She doesn't think about you at all, maybe she prefers being the prince's consort in the Prince of Yan's mansion to Madam Lu! Do you think she thought about you at all when she was making love with Pei Yi in the room!"

Lu Xiuzhu's eyelids twitched, and the hands hidden in his sleeves clenched into fists, but in the end he did not open his eyes to look at Zhao Wuyou.

The wedding was the most envied wedding by the noble ladies in Kyoto, and the wedding night passed quietly in the weeping and resentment with no one seeing it.

-

At the end of March, it feels like early summer.

Because of Princess Anle's wedding, Princess Yongtai's Mansion postponed the Spring Banquet held in early March every year to the end of the month.

The ladies of Kyoto were proud to receive the invitation from the Princess's Mansion, because it was a symbol of their entry into the top circle of the Kyoto dignitaries. This was because not only many dignitaries' ladies would come to this banquet, but even the Crown Prince and the Second Prince would come to show their respect.

Although the eldest princess does not support the second prince's party, she is still his aunt after all, and they are related by blood, so they will not fall out.

Just like at the royal banquet every year, everyone can sit together and have a reunion dinner.

But some people, who have no blood relationship and cannot sit at the same table to eat, unexpectedly received invitations.

In Tingxue Residence, Xie Zhichan looked at the gold-stamped invitation in his hand, carefully touched the "Yongtai" mark on it, and asked Pei Yi, who was reading a military book on the window sill couch, "Could this mark be counterfeited by someone? Did they deliberately let me go to the Princess's Mansion and then be stopped, so as to embarrass me?"

Pei Yi turned a page of the book and said without raising his head, "To forge the seal of an imperial noble is equivalent to the crime of deceiving the emperor, and the whole clan shall be exterminated."

This is to tell her that no one dares to easily forge the seal of the princess's mansion.

She said, "So, this is really an invitation for me? Another Hongmen Banquet, right?"

Pei Yi looked at her and said, "It's good that you know. Every hunter likes to hunt in his own territory because they know where to set the best traps."

Xie Zhichan suddenly approached Pei Yi, stared at him from bottom to top and said, "I thought that the relationship with the Princess's Mansion was a give-and-take, and we were even, and we would not interfere with each other from now on. You think that you, the powerful class, were born at the top, and everything came too easily, so you like to find exciting things to play with?"

Pei Yi didn't like the fact that the little fox put him together with those dandies. He was annoyed by her doe eyes and used a book to block her face. He said unhappily, "Although I was born as the prince of Yanwang Mansion, everything in Yanwang Mansion was earned through military merit. So, I didn't have everything when I was born. I paid with my life to control Pei's army."

Xie Zhichan knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he stuck out his tongue and said, "Well, our great Prince Pei is not like that. You haven't been out for a long time, isn't it time to go out for a walk? Otherwise, the Pei family army in your Prince Yan's Mansion will be in a panic."

Having a disabled master is better than having no leader at all.

Pei Yi asked Xie Zhichan, "You want to go play, right?"

After being together for so long, he has already understood Xie Zhichan's temper. She is as shrewd as a fox, as greedy as a Pixiu, but as lazy as a cat. Unless others provoke her, she will basically not extend her claws.

But if someone deliberately provokes her, she will definitely fight back without any mercy.

Xie Zhichan hesitated and said in distress: "But that is the Princess's residence, there are a thousand soldiers in the residence. Even if I have drugs, I can't drug a thousand people at once. Wouldn't I be there but never come back?"

Pei Yi took out a whistle from his sleeve and blew it towards the door. Then a woman with a high bun and tight-sleeved and waist-binding clothes walked in.

He bowed to Pei Yi and said, "What do you want, Master?"

Pei Yi put the whistle in Xie Zhichan's hand and said, "Yueyan, from now on you will stay by the side of the Crown Prince's Consort and protect her closely. Heying will also be at the Crown Prince's Consort's disposal."

Yue Yan was stunned. He Ying was a secret guard specially trained by the prince. It was no exaggeration to say that they were one in a million. Dan Feng and she were both the best among He Ying.

But the prince gave both her and Heying to the prince's consort——
