My wife has a secret

Chapter 191 The Big Wedding
Princess Danyang is also well aware of her own advantages, and will certainly set up numerous obstacles in the Liao Kingdom to prevent her husband from returning to the capital.

Shen Shuangxu's eyes fell on Qin Shuying, and she whispered, "Today's wedding must be held according to the specifications required by the Princess's Mansion. It cannot be sloppy at all... After I go to Liao, all matters in the mansion will be temporarily managed by Princess Danyang."

Qin Shuying was born in Wangyue Tower and knew what kind of life a woman would face when she married into a wealthy family.

Her previous bullying in Suzhou was actually just a small act. After all, what she wanted at the time was not the Xu family, but her freedom.

If Princess Danyang, this great Buddha, really marries into the Marquis's Mansion, the peace in the Xu family's backyard will be broken.

"While Princess Danyang is temporarily taking care of the household affairs, try not to have conflicts with her."

"understood."

Qin Shuying can be considered a person who is good at dealing with people. Since the first wife asked her to be careful in the future, she would not provoke the plague god.

Fortunately, my husband arranged for the third wife, Lu, to live in the Nie Mansion before the accident.

……

The moon faded, and a ray of light penetrated the haze, shining on the forest camp.

When Xu Qing and the two girls woke up, they saw Yang Xianning standing by the stream, washing clothes with clear stream water.

Women naturally love beauty, and considering that there were two children accompanying her on the journey, Yang Xianning simply dealt with her clothes and makeup.

She tore the fabric of the bellyband into several strips, combined them with the lining, and re-tied the ropes to cover the key places.

Soon, a piece of clothing with a very tattered feel was created under such simple circumstances. It looked like she was covered with a thin blue shirt, showing off her graceful figure.

But because the fabric was really limited, the clothes that focused on covering the upper body revealed the pair of smooth, slender, snow-white flawless legs. From a distance, they were very tempting and extraordinarily beautiful.

Xu Qing had just woken up and happened to see her lifting up her stripped dress and letting the water wet her legs.

He was controlled by the scene in front of him for a few breaths. When he reacted, he found that his eyes were almost popping out.

I am a married man, how can I have any lustful thoughts about another woman I met on the street, especially her savior?
"Sister, you're beautiful."

Compared to the timid Xu Qing, the two little girls, Liangzi and Jingjing, were much simpler. Although Jingjing had seen many beautiful women when she was young, no matter which one she picked, could compare to the woman in front of her who was wrung out her sleeves.

Especially this sister with a stunning appearance, she exuded a heroic spirit that ordinary girls did not have, which made these little girls completely fascinated and stars appeared in their eyes.

After applying the herbs, there were no more bruises or swellings on Yang Xianning's legs. She slowly stood up and walked towards the people.

"Take a rest, wash your face with clean water, and then we'll set off."

At some point, the experienced and highly skilled female knight has become the leader of the group.

Under her command, everyone stood up and resumed their journey.

After a few days, they returned to their hometown along the route they had taken before, and continued in the direction of a slightly populated area until they arrived near a village.

This village was obviously built by the water. Women were beating clothes beside the ditch, and old men were fishing in the area where the water flow was slower.

But the communication that Xu Qing had expected did not occur. After seeing Xu Qing and his companions, they packed their clothes and rushed back home, closing the windows and doors.

Yang Xianning also noticed that the people in the village did not welcome them, so she gave up the idea of ​​coming to the village to exchange for food, bypassed the village, and continued walking towards the northwest.

……

Capital city, Guangping Marquis’ Mansion.

The wedding night.

The entire mansion was decorated with red silk ribbons, looking like a poem or a painting. There were platforms with burning red candles everywhere. Big red "囍" characters were pasted all over the mansion and on every window, creating a festive atmosphere for a newlywed.

All the officials in the capital city also arrived. They got up from the restaurant that Xu's mansion had arranged earlier and went into the mansion to watch this grand event.

However, the only thing that makes people a little confused is that not only did her aunt, the Empress, not appear at the wedding of Princess Danyang and Marquis Guangping, but also Old Madam Xu from Suzhou was missing.

Therefore, no one sat on the main seat in the hall, and no one dared to take up the title of the two.

After all, one is the current empress and the other is the empress's mother, and their status is far more noble than that of ordinary people.

"The bride has arrived!"

The emcee was naturally an expert and would not take the initiative to mention this matter at the banquet full of guests. Instead, he communicated with the fourth young lady who was in charge of the Xu family's schedule and then stood on the red carpet to preside over the ceremony.

Suddenly, joyful sounds rang out, and the newlyweds, holding red silk ribbons together, appeared from a corner of the mansion and walked towards the lobby.

The bride's dress is certainly eye-catching.

After all, the Princess of Danyang took great pains in her wedding dress, and the sight of her in a gorgeous red gown alone created a beautiful and brilliant glow.

Moreover, she intentionally pinned a butterfly hairpin with her golden hairpin, which was embellished with diamond tassels. Her bun looked extremely luxurious, and it contrasted with the gold thread patterns on her wedding dress, exuding an air of wealth.

But to the surprise of all the guests, what they had never expected was that the other person holding the red silk was not Guangping Marquis Xu Qing, but his first wife, Shen, the talented woman from the capital, Shen Shuangxu.

This young woman who was taking a concubine on behalf of her husband was also wearing a simple wedding dress, and her exposed skin was as white as cream and as smooth as jade.

Compared with Princess Danyang's simple wedding dress, it not only did not disappoint her, but instead perfectly outlined her figure, giving people a feeling of elegance and solemnity.

"Did I see it wrong? How could it be that the daughter of the Shen family represented Marquis Guangping when he married Princess Danyang?"

There was some commotion among the guests when they saw this shocking scene.

"Yes, what is the status of Princess Danyang? It is said that the savings and wealth in the Princess's mansion are comparable to the national treasury, and the marriage was granted by the emperor... No matter how powerful Xu Qing is, how dare he ignore such a person?"

Although officials in the capital were in awe of Xu Qing, eight out of ten of these awes came from his aunt, the emperor's great saint.

Even though Xu Qing personally exposed the White Lotus's conspiracy at the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony and saved many people from danger, many people believed that he was born in Jiangnan after all and was different from the wealthy children in the capital.

The reason why he is now so successful is entirely because the saint has no children and treats this nephew as his own son.

"But I have to say that the girl from the Prime Minister's family is dignified and graceful."

"Yes, why did they choose the daughter of the Gongsun family when they were choosing the empress for Emperor Xuan?"

While the guests at the wedding banquet were whispering and talking, the newlyweds had already walked to the front of the hall.

The emcee understood the unusualness of this wedding and Shen Shuangxu's cold personality, so he shouted out all the auspicious words he could to warm up the atmosphere.

When the time was almost up, he said, "The two newlyweds, bow to heaven and earth, and husband and wife bow to each other."

Princess Danyang was covered with a red cloth, bowed her head and greeted Shen Shuangxu, then walked into the back hall.

Next, Qin Shuying came forward and, acting as one of the hostesses of the mansion, invited the guests to drink and make them forget this brief episode.

In the bridal chamber, a brocade quilt embroidered with a hundred children lay on the bed, emitting bursts of sweet fragrance. On the simple dressing table, a bronze mirror shone brightly, and jade hairpins and gold hairpins flickered softly under the weak candlelight. The red candles with dragons and phoenixes swayed slightly, and the light illuminated the newlyweds.

At this moment, in the silence, only the sound of heartbeats can be heard.

Shen Shuangxu and Princess Danyang sat side by side, leaning sideways towards each other. After waiting for the candle to burn for a while, Shen Shuangxu picked up the scale bar with his slender hands and lifted the veil on the princess's embroidered dress.

The princess's delicate facial features, with eyebrows like green feathers and skin as white as sheep fat, slowly emerged.

Her face was as rosy as peach petals, her eyes were charming and graceful, and she had a charming smile.

"Hello, sister."

Shen Shuangxu had a cold face the whole time, and did not show any favor to the charming Princess Danyang. She just responded calmly and said, "Is there any other news from Marquis Guangping?"

The delegation led by Shen's father had set out three days ago. After attending today's wedding banquet, Shen Shuangxu will set out early tomorrow morning to catch up with them before the delegation enters Huangling Pass.

So after completing her mission, she had no intention of staying here. She just wanted to see if Princess Danyang had any other information.

According to Shen Shuangxu's inference, the White Lotus Sect must be able to locate Xu Qing's position in some way.

"Sister, if you marry a man, you follow the man; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog... From now on, I am also the Marquis of Guangping's person. Why do you have to be so distant with me?"

Princess Danyang blinked her charming and pitiful big eyes, showing the slender posture of a weak woman.

"Sister, we haven't even drunk the wedding wine yet."

Shen Shuangxu's pretty face was still cold. For some reason, she suddenly felt fortunate that it was she, not Xu Qing, who was attending the wedding.

If the latter were to marry Princess Danyang, I wonder if he could resist such beauty.

Shen Shuangxu naturally would not refuse the other party's kindness, so he picked up the wedding wine on the table, poured two cups of wine, and drank with Princess Danyang.

Under the light of the red candles, Princess Danyang's high hairpins and jewels shone brightly, and her eyes were full of charm, as if they could draw out her long black hair, carrying love and happiness.

Shen Shuangxu still has a fair complexion, elegant and noble, and no one dares to desecrate her.

As a woman, she felt a little nervous when facing the gaze of Princess Danyang, and had to look away and not look at the other person's expression.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Princess Danyang deliberately slowed down her drinking speed, pressed her tongue against her lips and teeth, letting the fragrant sake fill her mouth and flow down the corners of her mouth.

Soon, the wine flowed along her snow-white and slender neck and into her collar.

There are mountains and flowing water inside.

Shen Shuangxu was the first to withdraw his hand and asked calmly, "Are you done?"

After drinking the wedding wine, both of their faces flushed slightly.

Princess Danyang smiled, stood up from her chair, and after pouring a cup of tea with the scented tea next to her, she restrained her charming expression and knelt on the ground.

"Sister, according to common etiquette, the new concubine should pour tea for the wife to show respect."

Customs and etiquette do have this aspect, but Princess Danyang is the daughter of Emperor Heng and has been demoted to marry into the Xu family. How can she be bound by customs and etiquette?
Besides, given Princess Danyang's personality, she doesn't seem to be the type of person she is tonight.

Shen Shuangxu's eyes narrowed slightly, but Princess Danyang lowered her head slightly, and her attitude was respectful, without any flaws.

"Sister, please have some tea."

Shen Shuangxu reached out to take the tea, gently stirred the tea with the tea lid, took a sip, and placed it on the table, making a light sound.

"Consummate the marriage."

After saying this, Shen Shuangxu pulled away and tried to leave.

She no longer had any hope that Princess Danyang would tell the truth. If that was the case, staying here would be a waste of time.

But what Shen Shuangxu didn't expect was that as soon as he turned around, a force grabbed his arm.

Looking back, it was Princess Danyang who stretched out her hands and looked at her pitifully.

"Sister, I'm afraid of...the dark."

Afraid of the dark?

Shen Shuangxu was just about to ask the servants to light the candles in the room when she suddenly felt dizzy.

When her vision fell into darkness, she only saw Princess Danyang slightly grinning, and a smile reappeared on her charming face.

"Sister, Jin'er is afraid of the dark...why are you leaving?"

"Just stay here and accompany Jin'er."

Princess Danyang caught Shen Shuangxu who fell towards her, gently helped her onto the wedding bed, and pulled the mandarin duck quilt apart.

The things used in the wedding banquet at the Guangping Marquis' Mansion were not of high quality, so they were basically sourced from the Princess's Mansion.

So she was the one who tampered with the wedding wine and tea.

Even if Qin Shuying had carefully screened and sampled anything sent from the princess's mansion, she would never have thought that something was mixed into the drinks served to the guests.

Of course, there are a lot of people visiting the Marquis' Mansion today, and she couldn't possibly mix knockout drugs in public to make so many people faint, so the medicine was jasmine tea.

It was a perfect plan to put the drug in the wine and let the scented tea release its effects to make Shen Shuangxu unconscious.

"What the hell... I was thinking how amazing Miss Shen, the most talented lady in the capital, who is almost a genius, is, but she was knocked out by just a drug. How boring."

After Princess Danyang helped Shen Shuangxu onto the bed, she changed her reserved and humble attitude and looked at her prey in a teasing tone.

Not only that, she also teased the other person's face and blew gently on Shen Shuangxu's neck.

Gradually, the Princess Danyang seemed to have thought of something interesting and suddenly became cheerful.

She opened her mouth slightly, and with a humming sound, she bit Shen Shuangxu's fair and flawless neck and sucked hard for a while.

When he looked up again, he found that the other person had been planted with a red strawberry by himself.

Princess Danyang admired her victory, her breathing became rapid and she laughed softly.

"This princess will stay in this house with you for a day and a night. When the Saint finds out that you are late, he will send someone to take you away from the bridal chamber. When he sees this mark... hehe, let's see how you explain it to the Saint."

Shen Shuangxu's coma would not only disrupt Qi's plan to pick up people, but would also cause the saint to be angry and punish him.
