The excitement of the day gradually faded away. After a tiring day, Princess Qingning took off her wedding dress and lifted her veil.

The wedding wine and candles on the table were also removed.

The maids and nannies who were serving dared not say much, and quickly followed the princess's instructions and withdrew.

The princess was looking for a prince consort and she did it to save face in front of others.

Behind closed doors, the princess can of course do whatever she wants.

Prince Consort Gu was still standing in the yard in his wedding attire. Without the princess's order, he did not dare to step into the bridal chamber.

After waiting outside for a long time and making sure that no one came to call him, Gu Yunfei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

There will be no wedding wine or bridal chamber.

He didn't know how to face the princess, and now this situation was just right.

As the fifth watch approached, a maid finally came out of the bridal chamber and said, "The princess has gone to bed, so the prince consort should go and rest as well."

Gu Yunfei was pardoned.

He thanked the nanny and immediately turned and left.

The nanny looked at his back, feeling a little regretful.

Before today, they were all happy for the princess.

The prince consort was handsome and looked a perfect match for the princess.

They never imagined that the situation would be like this now.

The nanny shook her head and went back to guard the princess's bed.

When the princess grew up, she didn't want to get married and even hid it from the nanny who had raised her since she was a child.

Gu Yunfei lay in bed, tossing and turning after a tiring day and unable to fall asleep.

Although he avoided the awkward wedding night, he still felt mixed emotions.

I don’t know if he and the princess will become enemies in the future. Although I knew from the beginning that the princess was forced into the marriage, the current situation was caused by myself.

Gu Yunfei wanted to slap himself a few times.

He was not angry that the princess did not consummate the marriage, he just felt that the princess was wronged.

How could he marry the princess?

Sleep until you wake up naturally.

Princess Qingning stretched lazily.

The maid stepped forward immediately, "The princess is awake! I will call someone to wash you."

Princess Qingning opened her eyes lazily and was startled when she saw the nanny. "Mammy, what happened to you?"

The nanny was confused and asked, "Princess! What's wrong with this old servant?"

"Go look in the bronze mirror."

Mammy immediately went to look in the mirror as instructed.

Looking at myself in the mirror, I saw two big dark circles under my eyes. If someone who wasn't familiar with me saw me, they would think I was a ghost.

"Princess! I am so rude." The nanny was ashamed.

"Were you the one who kept watch yesterday?" asked Princess Qingning.

After a tiring day, she fell into a deep sleep.

Ever since the nanny got old, Princess Qingning never let her stay up all night again.

It seems that I was too worried about myself yesterday.

"Go and call everyone in the yard over." Princess Qingning planned to tell the truth to her trusted maids.

The maids came in immediately.

Last night, except for the master who slept soundly, none of the maids fell asleep.

They all felt sorry for their master.

So when the prince consort stood at the gate of the yard, they all responded indifferently.

It must be the prince consort who displeased the princess.

He deserves it.

Seeing that the maids were all listless, Princess Qingning said, "Cheer up, there is nothing wrong with getting married, it's just a change of place to sleep. You should still do what you should do as you did in the Prince of Xiang's Mansion."

"Yes!" the maids responded respectfully.

Soon everyone began to perform their duties and get busy.

They understood what the princess meant and just pretended that there was no such person as Prince Consort Gu.

"Mammy! You don't need to serve me today, go and have a rest." Qingning ordered.

When the nanny saw that the princess was not unhappy, she felt relieved and went back to sleep.

Prince Consort Gu tossed and turned all night, and when the day had dawned, he stood up and walked towards Feixue Pavilion.

Along the way, the big red lanterns had been taken down, and there was no trace of festivity in the mansion.

As soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by Princess Qingning's personal maid, "What is the matter, Prince Consort? I can convey it to you."

The only thing missing is having the word "not welcome" written on his face.

Gu Yunfei was stunned for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

Yes, the princess is the monarch and he is the subject.

Without the princess's consent, even if he is the princess's nominal husband, he has to act according to the princess's mood.

Gu Yunfei bowed and said, "Please inform me that I am here to accompany the princess to the palace to express my gratitude."

In fact, someone would have informed him to enter the palace long ago, he was just finding an excuse to test the princess's attitude.

He will be able to put himself in the right position in the future.

"The princess is having breakfast, please wait a moment, Prince Consort." Gu Yunfei nodded and waited respectfully outside the door.

The maid was a little surprised, and thought that the prince consort would be unhappy because she treated him coldly yesterday.

After all, as a man, being neglected by his wife would make anyone feel resentful if they were left alone outside on their wedding night.

Surprisingly, there was no anger on the prince consort's face.

After a while, the door opened and Princess Qingning came out. She was dressed in plain clothes and had a beautiful face. Except for the lack of wedding joy, there was nothing wrong with her.

"Go back, my dear prince consort! Come back to the palace to express your gratitude in three days." Princess Qingning said and immediately turned around and went back to the house.

It seems like looking at the prince consort for one more second would bring bad luck.

"Yes, I'll take my leave." Gu Yunfei stared blankly at the princess's back.

Sure enough, the princess disliked him.

"Princess! The prince consort has left!" The maid came in immediately to report.

Qingning nodded slightly, and there was no resentment on the prince consort's face.

Qingning thought, this person is quite tactful.

Then she called the maid and ordered, "Send someone to secretly observe the people who come and go with the prince consort. If there is anything unusual, report it immediately."

The maid obeyed and left. Qingning raised the corner of her mouth slightly.

She wanted to see whether this prince consort was a human or a ghost, and why the emperor had granted the marriage.

There is someone behind him.

As time goes by, the truth will naturally be revealed.

Only now did Qingning realize how cruel the struggle for imperial power was.

Although the emperor is already in a high position, he still has to be wary of everyone.

Qingning seemed to have grown up overnight.

She never thought that one day she would become the emperor's pawn to restrain her father.

The emperor wouldn't even consider her happiness.

Then from today on, the emperor is no longer her relative.

At this time, Gu Yunfei walked back briskly. He didn't know that the princess had become suspicious of him.

However, as long as I don't have to face the princess, it's better than anything else.

The princess' attitude today clearly showed that she was unwilling to have too much interaction with him.

However, the princess is so beautiful. A woman like her should have someone who truly loves her and stay with her for the rest of her life, rather than marrying someone like him and getting dragged into the vortex of the fight for the throne.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Gu Yunfei came to Feixue Pavilion again.

There have been no lights on the corridor of Feixue Pavilion in the past few days.

Gu Yunfei finally felt relieved. The princess really didn't regard him as her husband.

Just treat each other with respect from now on.

Qingning looked at Gu Yunfei, not knowing whether he was careless or just acting. No matter which one it was, Qingning didn't care.

If he dares to do anything wrong, just deal with him.

Going to the palace to express gratitude was quickly completed.

Knowing that the emperor did not truly love her, Qing Ning no longer had any interest in pretending to be nice to him.

After leaving the palace, the two of them rode in a carriage to the Prince of Xiang's Palace.

Along the way, Gu Yunfei kept his head down and said nothing.

This made it easier for Princess Qingning to look at him. This was actually the second time they had been together at such close range for such a long time.

The first time was when my father called someone into the palace.

Seeing him lowering his head like a young wife, Princess Qingning chuckled.

Gu Yunfei suddenly looked up, and their eyes met, and they both immediately looked away awkwardly.

The carriage fell into deathly silence.

Fortunately, the imperial palace was not far from the Prince of Xiang's Mansion, and the carriage stopped soon.

The prince and princess were waiting in the palace early in the morning. The princess had been looking forward to his return on three days.

I just wanted to see how my daughter was doing these days.

From childhood to adulthood, Ning'er has never been away from her mother for long.

The carriage stopped steadily at the gate of the palace.

Seeing the prince consort get off first, he turned around and stretched out his hand to the princess, "Princess, please get off the car!"

Princess Qingning was surprised.

"Princess, you don't want the princess to worry, right?" Gu Yunfei lowered his voice.

He also has a mother and knows that his mother would want him to be happy.

The same goes for the princess. I hope the princess has a happy life!

Qingning glanced at him and put her hand over his.

Princess Xiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. The couple looked like a newlywed couple.

When her daughter came in, she immediately went to greet her, "Come in quickly, let mother see, has my Ning'er lost weight?"
