The morning light was dim and the sky was filled with morning glow. The imperial city was filled with joy and peace.

Red silk hung from the eaves and danced in the wind. The Pei Mansion was filled with lanterns and wedding characters, making it both festive and solemn.

The gentle sunlight shines through the carved wooden window onto the woman in a bright red wedding dress who is standing in front of the dressing mirror in the room.

This was the second time in Cheng Jiuyuan's life that she had put on a wedding dress for Chu Heng. She was still excited, but she didn't feel as uneasy as she did the first time.

Yan Yu and Zhu Jin will still accompany Cheng Jiuyuan, and Chu Wan will come with Chu Heng to welcome the bride.

The three girls were chatting and laughing when Mu Jin led Lin in.

As soon as Lin saw Cheng Jiuyuan, she greeted him warmly.

She was a little reserved at first, but when Mu Jin saw her, she was still the same as always.

Mu Jin is Cheng Jiuyuan's personal maid, and Mu Jin's attitude is Cheng Jiuyuan's attitude.

"At first glance, I thought I saw a fairy! She is so beautiful!" Lin praised sincerely.

Cheng Jiuyuan smiled and said, "Mother is here? Where's Ji Ge'er?"

Hearing Cheng Jiuyuan still calling her "mother", Lin was touched.

"I didn't bring him to such an occasion." Lin tidied Cheng Jiuyuan's long hair and looked sideways at the two maids behind her.

The two maids each held a large box in their hands. Lin opened it and looked at Cheng Jiuyuan: "This is the makeup I gave you."

One set is a ruby ​​headpiece. The most eye-catching thing is the twenty-eight rubies of different sizes inlaid on the crown. Each one is clean and pure, making the whole set rich and luxurious.

The other set is mainly composed of South Pearls, which are also known as the "No. 1 Pearl in the World". Each one is extremely precious. This headpiece contains dozens of South Pearls, so you can imagine how rare it is.

Yan Yu and Zhu Jin both marveled at Lin's generosity.

"Mother, I appreciate your kindness, but this is too precious. I cannot accept it."

Cheng Jiuyuan didn't expect that the Lin family would be so generous.

Now that Cheng Zongyang has been dismissed from office, the prime minister's mansion only relies on the rent collected from the farmland and has few shops. She is still worried that Lin will blame her.

Now it seems that Lin is more insightful than she thought.

"God has given us a mother-daughter relationship. You have called me mother for so long, so I should fulfill my responsibilities as a mother. If you still recognize me as your mother, please accept me."

Having said that, Cheng Jiuyuan didn't know what to say.

"Don't worry, mother. When Ji Ge'er grows up, as long as he behaves well, he will always be my brother."

Lin's face lit up with joy, "With your words, mother feels relieved."

She didn't ask Ji Ge'er to achieve much, she just wanted him to be a rich and idle person as Master Wuwang said.

As soon as Lin finished speaking, Song Lan led Luan Meng and several other noble ladies in.

"Miss Cheng, we are here to add makeup to you!"

Several noble ladies also made extraordinary moves, and Cheng Jiuyuan thanked them one by one with a smile.

A group of women were talking in the room when they heard the sound of firecrackers coming from outside the yard.

"The prince is here to pick up the bride!"

Another quarter of an hour later, a noise was heard outside the yard.

Chu Heng walked in and looked at Cheng Jiuyuan with tenderness in his eyes.

She was dressed in a wedding gown as red as fire, a phoenix coronet and a bridal robe, and a red veil with long, delicate tassels hanging from the edge.

The scarf concealed her features but could not hide her extraordinary beauty.

When Chu Wan came in, she saw her brother looking silly and said with a smile, "Brother, are you bewitched by the sister-in-law?"

A group of girls laughed out loud.

Chu Heng stepped forward and stretched out his hand to Cheng Jiuyuan: "Yuan'er, let's go home."

Cheng Jiuyuan put her hand in his palm, and the two of them walked out holding hands. They heard the sound of drums and music outside, shaking the four directions.

Not only was the Pei Mansion celebrating, the entire capital city was also filled with red silk.

The musicians were dressed in colorful clothes, and their music pierced the clouds and cracked the rocks, resounding through the sky. Countless people crowded both sides of the streets, and the soldiers tried hard to maintain order.

Chu Heng rode on the tall horse with a smug look on his face.

The wedding procession marched in unison and with great momentum.

Maids surrounded the carriage, holding flower baskets and constantly scattering flower petals and wedding money.

Following behind was a dowry procession that stretched as far as the eye could see.

There are a total of 188 units, and each dowry is priceless.

Gold, silver, jewelry, silks, satins, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, these not only demonstrate the Pei family's financial strength and status, but also their importance and wishes for Cheng Jiuyuan.

The long line was like a flowing red river, connecting Prince Chen's Mansion and Pei's Mansion.

The emperor and Concubine Chun personally went to Prince Chen's Mansion to preside over the wedding, and all the civil and military officials in the court participated in the celebration.

When the ceremony was over, deafening salutes were heard outside the palace.

After drinking the wedding wine, Chu Heng leaned over and gave her a kiss on the lips, which also stained his lips with her lip balm, causing Chu Wan and the others to cover their eyes and scream.

"Yuan'er, I'll be back soon, wait for me."

After saying that, he looked at Chu Wan and said, "Take good care of your sister-in-law and have someone bring in some food."

Chu Wan said with a smile: "I know, I know. I won't let your sweetheart starve."

Cheng Jiuyuan glared at her and looked at Chu Heng: "Go quickly, look after father, don't let him drink."

"Don't worry, Eunuch Quan is watching over you." After saying that, Chu Heng turned around and left the room.

Chu Wan happily squeezed next to Cheng Jiuyuan: "Sister-in-law, my brother's eyes were so gentle just now, it was almost drowning."

Zhu Jin clasped his hands together and said, "God, please give me a man as handsome, gentle, and strong as the King of Chen..."

Yan Yu covered her lips and smiled: "I think this person has appeared a long time ago."

Zhu Jin looked at her, blinking his eyes, and asked in confusion: "Who is it?"

Cheng Jiuyuan also understood, Chu Wan asked blankly: "Who is it?"

Yan Yu smiled and said, "Go back and ask Master Zhu."

"My father? My father found a man like this for me? Who is he?"

Yan Yu and Cheng Jiuyuan looked at each other and smiled without saying anything.

Zhu Jin raised his two hands and gestured: "Will you tell me or not? If you don't, I will punish you severely!"

Yan Yu was most afraid of her large size, and immediately said, "No, no, no! I can't say for sure now, I'm just guessing."

At this time, Mu Jin pushed the door open with food and rescued Yan Yu.

They ate something, Cheng Jiuyuan took off all her hair accessories, and then they quietly huddled together to read picture books.

Yan Yu covered her red face and said, "I won't watch it anymore. It's so embarrassing."

Zhu Jin pulled Yan Yu who was about to run away and said, "You have to watch carefully, because you will be the next one to get married."

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded: "Yes, I heard from my eldest cousin that he will propose marriage in the next few days."

Chu Wan held her little face that looked like a red apple and sighed: "Sister Yu is beautiful and gentle, well-educated and well-mannered. Master Pei is handsome and a modest gentleman. They are a perfect match."

Chu Heng came back in less than an hour. As soon as he entered the room, he saw that the girls' faces were all red. He asked in confusion, "Is the room hot?"

"Since you are back, my royal brother, we won't delay your wedding night." After saying this, the three girls hurried out of the room with a guilty conscience.

Chu Heng took off his outer robe, walked over and looked at Cheng Jiuyuan: "My lady, a night of spring is worth a thousand gold."

Cheng Jiuyuan was about to get up and run away, but he grabbed her by the waist.

Chu Heng said aggrievedly: "My uncle's words have separated us for so long. I miss you so much..."

"I haven't taken a shower yet!" Cheng Jiuyuan protested.

"Let's take a bath together..."
