Noble Lady Jing Zhao

Chapter 289: A New Baby in the Marquisate
Follow the wedding sedan into the Sumuhou Mansion.

There was music and laughter outside.

The phoenix crown on Ye Jingzhao's head weighed heavily on her, causing her chest to feel tight and she felt short of breath.

After the wedding ceremony, she was escorted to the bridal chamber.

She was in a daze.

Hongzao felt sorry for his master, so he secretly gave some snacks to his young lady.

"Miss, eat your fill first, your son-in-law will be here for a while."

She had gone outside to check before and saw that her son-in-law was being stopped and forced to drink. Judging from the situation, he would not be let back if he did not drink enough.

Ye Jingzhao took the snack, took small bites, and said nothing.

Most of the wedding candles on the table were burned out, as I didn't sleep well the night before.

Today is another tiring day, even though I am now sitting in the bridal chamber.

But she had not yet taken off her phoenix coronet and bridal robe, and the heavy weight of them on her body was quite strenuous.

She began to snore.

His body couldn't help but fall backwards.

The sudden failure made her open her eyes suddenly and she woke up immediately.

"Today, I am tired."

She did not fall on the couch, but was held firmly in someone's arms.

She stared at the man in front of her with her eyes wide open, her heart beating faster and her face flushed.

"Let me help you wash up."

Smelling the strong smell of alcohol on Mu Yanzong, she spoke slowly.

Mu Yanzong smiled and shook his head, raised his hand to remove the phoenix crown from her hair, and the maids serving in the bridal chamber had already been sent out by him.

"I come."

The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and his eyes were hot and intense.

Ye Jingzhao's face turned even redder.

Still feeling a little frightened, she could only lower her eyes slightly and suppress the fear in her heart.

She let him take off her wedding clothes piece by piece.

He got closer and closer, and as he suddenly raised his head, a strong smell of alcohol rushed into her lips and teeth.

Her breathing stopped for a moment, and she thought of the notebook her mother gave her before she got married, and the many private words she had said to her.

She closed her eyes nervously.

The veil slowly fell, and the wedding candles in the house burned until dawn.

Everyone in the Sumu Marquis's Mansion was filled with joy.

Early in the morning, the newly married Prince Mu came with his new wife to offer tea to his mother.

Madam Mu, Zhao, had someone prepare a thick red envelope as a thank you gift early on.

"Mother."

Ye Jingzhao was wearing a bright red brocade skirt and had a rosy complexion.

When Mrs. Mu Zhao heard the word "mother", her heart was filled with joy.

"Good boy, I just hope that you will be happy every day in the future. If that brat bullies you in the future, just tell your mother and she will deal with him for you!"

While helping Ye Jingzhao up, Zhao glared at her son and said, "If you dare to bully Zhaozhao in the future, watch out for your hide!"

Mu Yanzong smiled helplessly, not daring to refute, and could only agree.

Zhao stuffed the thick red seal into Ye Jingzhao's hand.

Then he ordered the two of them to pay their respects to the second wife.

Because of what happened before, Mr. and Mrs. Mu were too embarrassed to drink tea with the bride.

The second wife originally wanted to move out and live somewhere else, but Madam Mu, Zhao, could not bear to see her deceased husband's brother, who was born to the same mother, living out in poverty.

Insisted on keeping the person.

Moreover, the Sumu Marquisate was originally small in number, and the emperor had already declared the title of the marquisate, and he would officially inherit the title of the marquisate only after Mu Yanzong got married.

The second branch of the family has the same title, so there is no hope at all.

And now, the old lady is being held back by ginseng.

Although he is still breathing, he is not conscious anymore.

Moreover, the old lady herself had lost the will to live.

Madam Zhao of the Mu family ordered people to mourn the old lady for a few more days.

On the day Ye Jingzhao returned home, the Jiang family from the Marquis of Xiaoyong's Mansion all came to the third room of the Ye family.

Originally, I was supposed to go back to Marquis Cheng'en's Mansion to see the old lady first.

But the old lady had been feeling unwell for the past few days, and the master of the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion ordered people to send the old lady to Shanquan Villa outside the city to recuperate.

People from several families simply came to the third room today.

Therefore, Mrs. Jiang, the third wife of Ye San, ordered people to prepare several tables of banquets.

Everyone started laughing and joking again.

It wasn't until sunset that everyone dispersed. "Shall we go back to the mansion and take a walk?"

After coming out of the third branch of the Ye family, Mu Yanzong took Ye Jingzhao's hand and asked carefully.

"it is good."

The couple walked slowly along the long street, hand in hand.

“I never imagined a day like this.”

Mu Yanzong spoke casually.

Ye Jingzhao listened quietly.

Mu Yanzong practiced martial arts since he was young and didn't like to talk much.

And experienced many changes.

Now everything is getting better. He has married his beloved girl and can spend the rest of his life with her.

Days like this always make him feel very content from time to time.

The third branch of the Ye family was busy with Ye Chen's marriage.

These days, Mrs. Jiang, the third wife of Ye San, first married off her daughter and then was busy finding a daughter-in-law.

Fortunately, my sister-in-law from my natal family came to help, and my married daughter also came back to help.

Ye Jingzhao looked at his parents' unconcealable smiles.

My heart is full of contentment.

The previous life seems like a thing that happened a long time ago.

Everything seemed like a big dream.

Everything in front of me feels unreal.

But all this was much happier than she had expected.

Her former best friend became her sister-in-law.

They became a family.

Just looking at the slightly thin figure at the wedding banquet, she couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in her heart.

Hurry up and follow.

"Cousin Lian."

Jiang Yilian was originally hiding behind the crowd, but who would have thought that she would be found by her cousin.

She pretended to be calm and smiled, "Cousin Jingzhao."

"Cousin Lian, let's go to my room and talk. It's noisy outside today and I'm feeling a little bored."

She suggested.

Jiang Yilian nodded in agreement.

When she got to the room, she sent all the maids out.

The two of them chatted and laughed, killing quite a while.

Mrs. Jiang is currently having trouble with her daughter's marriage. She has searched all over Kyoto but has not found a suitable candidate.

He also didn't want his daughter to marry too far away.

When Ye Jingzhao returned home, he mentioned his aunt's recent difficulties to Mu Yanzong.

Mu Yanzong hugged his wife and listened to her concerns.

"Madam, in one's life, marriage is predetermined. There is no need to be too anxious. Maybe when the time comes, the right person will appear."

She also understood this logic.

But before she could think about it, she started to feel sleepy.

For some reason, she often felt sleepy recently. When she was having breakfast with her mother-in-law, she even fell asleep at the dining table.

When she woke up, she was on the couch.

The mother-in-law and husband stood by the couch with smiles on their faces.

She was full of doubts.

"Zhao Zhao, you are not feeling well, why don't you say anything?"

Mother-in-law Zhao brought the ginseng soup. Her husband helped her to get up, and her mother-in-law then served her the ginseng soup.

"You have been pregnant for a month."

She looked at her mother-in-law with a confused look on her face, and her eyes couldn't help but look at her lower abdomen.

All this was too shocking for her.

It feels so unreal, like a dream.

In November of the same year, a little prince was born in the Sumu Marquis's mansion.

At the full moon banquet, the emperor and empress came with their twins.

Ye Jingzhao held his tiny son in his arms, his lips filled with love.

Everything she had experienced was now embodied in happiness.
