White Fence Dream

Chapter 271 Necessary
He knew it was a fake marriage.

Just like Bai Li and Zhou Jingyun’s fake marriage.

In fact, the ceremony does not have to be so complicated, and it is not what Bai Li thinks it must be.

The emperor didn't mind, and the simple ceremony would please Princess Jin Yu.

But he didn't want to.

The marriage was fake, but he and she were real.

He didn't want to do things half-heartedly.

Just now, he heard Bai Li talk about the process of her marriage to Zhou Jingyun. She didn't say much before it ended. He felt that it was necessary to hold a grand wedding. At least in the future, when Bai Li recalled this time, she would have a lot to talk about.

He looked at the person sleeping beside him.

The night light was dim, and the touch of my hands suddenly became cold.

That's not skin, that's a mirror.

Bai Li was not lying next to him, but across a mirror.

Li Yu looked at the mirror. Against the backdrop of all the red, the mirror also turned red.

He was dreaming.

It turns out that he fell asleep too.

Li Yu smiled slightly. The face of the person lying in the mirror became blurry and then clear again. The face on the side of his hand across the mirror was still the familiar Bai Li, while the left face against the pillow was another familiar person, Queen Jiang.

The smile on Li Yu's face froze, but he was not panicked. He just looked at the person in the mirror quietly.

……

……

Since Queen Chiang was still alive, Li Yu was not surprised.

When Bai Li told him that he had woken up, he was worried and wanted to fall asleep and look at the mirror in his dream, but unfortunately he never dreamed of it.

I didn't expect to see it today, on the wedding night.

Seeing Bai Li saying that he had woken up, he still had two faces.

It seems that Bai Li has indeed woken up, but Queen Jiang has not completely disappeared.

Yes, Empress Jiang was such a powerful person, how could she disappear just by Zhou Jingyun stabbing her?

It's ok.

And him.

He married Ah Li just to deal with Queen Chiang.

He will make Ah Li completely free from this Queen Jiang ghost.

Li Yu looked at Bai Li in the mirror and gently stroked her right cheek again through the mirror...

The left eye in the mirror suddenly opened, looked at him, and half of her cherry lips curved into a smile.

"Young groom."

A female voice called in my ear.

Although it was not the first time they had met, Li Yu let out a low cry when he suddenly saw her speaking, and subconsciously stepped back. The mirror in his sight shattered, and the next moment there was a bang, and his wrist hurt.

"what happened?"

Bai Li's voice came.

Li Yu opened his eyes, his vision was blurry and red. He was sleeping on the marital bed, and Bai Li was not beside him.

He looked up and saw Bai Li sitting in front of the dressing table and turning around.

Is it a dream now, or was it a dream before?
Is it Baili or...

"Are you dreaming?" Bai Li noticed that something was wrong with him, picked up the cup, dipped it lightly in water, and flicked his fingers.

Li Yu was slightly startled as water drops splashed on his face, then heaved a sigh of relief.

It’s Baili, and the previous time was just a dream.

But I feel a little regretful.

He didn't sleep in the same bed with Ah Li.

He touched his right hand which had hit the edge of the bed.

"How did I fall asleep?" he said.

Since when did you fall asleep?
Bai Li's voice came to my ears.

"…You were exhausted, and you dozed off while eating. I persuaded you to go to bed, and you fell asleep as soon as you lay down."

Li Yu was a little annoyed: "It's because of me drinking! It's all their fault for forcing me to drink! I said I didn't want to drink, not tonight, but I was still forced to drink a few glasses."

Bai Li smiled: "You are still too tired. I was just sitting there, but you were tossed around all day."

He poured the water again and handed it over.

"Drink some water and go to sleep."

Then he smiled again.

"Just sleep freely. It's such a big bed. You might bump your hands into it."

Li Yu took the teacup and thanked him, saying with a smile: "It means I shouldn't sleep yet, and I can't sleep well."

He hesitated.

"Tell me, what was it like when you and the prince got married?"

Bai Li smiled and said, "There's really nothing much to say about our wedding. It wasn't that lively. We hurriedly went through the general procedures and went to see Zhuang Feizi off on our wedding night."

Speaking of Zhuang Feizi, there is no need to continue this topic. He doesn't want Ah Li to be sad.

"He helped you last time, this time you help me." Li Yu said with a smile, changing the subject.

Bai Li smiled and said, "We are all helping each other."

The door of the house opened slightly, and Chunyue's voice came from outside.

"Madam," she said softly, "Mrs. Zhuang said everything is ready and Nannan is asleep. You can go over now."

Bai Li looked at Li Yu and said, "Ask your people, is this place clean? Is there anyone snooping around?"

Li Yu held the teacup and thought about it. Yes, they had long been "husband and wife" to the outside world, and they had a child. The child was still young, so it was natural for his wife to sleep with the child. She and he did not need to sleep in the same room to prove anything, because they already had a child, which proved everything.

"No need to ask, it was cleaned up before the wedding." Li Yu smiled and said, "We can do whatever we want in this courtyard."

Bai Li said ok, "I'll go over then." He then reminded her, "Go to bed early. You're tired today. You'll be even more tired tomorrow when you see your parents."

Li Yu smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I will definitely get enough rest."

Bai Li smiled at him again and followed Chunyue out.

"Have you found my book?"

"It's already been placed at the head of my wife's bed."

The two people's whispers were heard, and as the door closed, silence returned inside and outside.

Li Yu sat quietly for a moment, holding the teacup.

He drank the water in one gulp, then lay back on the bright red quilt with his hands open.

They were all fake marriages. He and Zhou Jingyun were different.

I hope things will continue to be different.

For example, Ah Li would not leave him.

So, get enough sleep and get enough rest, because everything has just begun.

……

……

When the sky brightened, the wife of Dongyang Marquis rubbed her forehead.

Mother Xu took the ginseng soup handed to her by the maid.

"Madam, did you not sleep well last night?" she said, and then she scolded, "Madam, you can just go to the wedding banquet and sit down, why are you drinking?"

The wife of the Marquis of Dongyang snorted: "I have never drunk the wine of the palace. I am curious and want to try it."

Mother Xu suppressed her laughter and said in a low voice: "The prince got up a long time ago and is stretching his muscles in the yard."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou snorted again: "Then he couldn't sleep, so he just got up."

As he said this, he looked at the sky outside.

"At this time, the King of Chu and the Queen..."

She emphasized the word "Princess".

"…It's time to go to Princess Jinyu's mansion."

The King of Chu was rescued and raised by Princess Jin Yu, and should be respected like a mother.

But the princess was extremely dissatisfied with the marriage with the King of Chu, and she didn't know what the scene would be like today.

The wife of the Marquis of Dongyang sat up straight.

"Hurry up and ask someone about it."

Mrs. Xu was somewhat helpless: "Why are you asking about this, Madam?"

Even though they are princes and princesses, this is still family matters. Why is Madam suddenly interested in this?
"With the princess as an elder, any new bride would have a hard time dealing with it. You don't need to go and see to know that."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou curled her lips: "Of course."

It's hard to meet a mother-in-law as good as her.

Bai Li, you should see for yourself what a real evil mother-in-law is.

……

……

There were many people waiting outside the princess's mansion to watch the excitement, but they did not expect that when the King of Chu's carriage arrived, the gate would open and the servants of the princess's mansion stood respectfully outside the door to greet them.

"The princess didn't make things difficult for the King of Chu and his wife?"

"Princess, have you forgiven the King of Chu? Have you accepted it?"

"Princess Jinyu has really changed now."

Inside the princess's mansion, two aides looked at Princess Jin Yu, who had a gloomy face, and tried to comfort her respectfully.

"If you don't let them in, everyone will say you are harsh, Princess."

"The princess's harshness needs to be known to the King and Queen of Chu, not to the world."

Princess Jinyu waved her hand to interrupt them: "I know, no need to say more."

The staff breathed a sigh of relief and told the eunuchs, "Please invite the prince consort in."

The eunuchs responded yes and let Shangguan, who was waiting outside the door, in.

Prince Consort Shangguan sat down beside Princess Jinyu with a calm expression.

"The gift is ready," he said. "Would the princess like to see it?"

Princess Jin Yu said coldly: "No need, the prince consort must have prepared something very decent."

Prince Consort Shangguan smiled and said nothing.

The eunuchs outside the door shouted, "The King of Chu is here."

Along with the report, Li Yu, dressed in a formal suit, walked slowly over, followed by a young woman.

Princess Jin Yu's gaze instantly fell on her. She actually didn't want to look at her at first. She thought a maid was not worth even a second glance.

But perhaps because the bright red dress was too dazzling, she looked over unconsciously.

When I saw the woman's face, her eyes and eyebrows were smiling, like a blooming peony.

Peony! Princess Jin Yu froze. How could she think of this flower on a maid?

And she hates peonies the most!
Empress Jiang liked peonies, and in order to please her, she once personally served the peonies.

It is so hard to grow and raise flowers. The branches cut her hands, the soil stained her dress, and the flowers that should have been stepped on by her were held in her palms... It's so disgusting!
Why did I think of peony flowers at first glance? This shows how disgusting this maid is!
The anger that had been suppressed by her staff's consolation suddenly came out.

"Kneel down!" she shouted.

Li Yu, who had just reached the hall door, paused, grabbed Bai Li's wrist, turned around and left.

Princess Jinyu was furious: "Stop!"
