The concubine's favorite? Break off the engagement and marry another prince, please respect you

Chapter 79

After successfully worshipping heaven and earth and completing all the rituals, Xie Wan Ning walked into the bridal chamber holding a red silk quilt and surrounded by people.

The veil was lifted up little by little, and Pei Yuqing's handsome face appeared before her eyes again, his eyes smiling, gentle and warm.

Xie Wan Ning's heart, which was inevitably a little nervous about getting married, calmed down instantly and she looked at him with a smile.

All around were ladies who were on good terms with the Pei family, or were directly related to the Pei family through the side branches, all of whom were trying to join in the fun and saying festive words.

Pei Yuxuan also winked at her...

She already knew her brother's intentions, but she never expected that her stubborn brother would be so quick to take action.

It's been less than half a year and she's already married.

Nanny Xi sang auspicious words and a maid brought two cups of warm wine.

Pei Yuqing took it and handed over a cup. The two of them put their arms around each other and drank the wedding wine.

Amidst the laughter, another maid brought dumplings.

Pei Yuqing picked up one with the jade chopsticks and passed it to Xie Wan Ning's mouth. She opened her mouth and took a bite. He reached out to take it again: "Spit it out."

Xie Wan Ning: “…”

She spat the dumpling into his palm, and then heard Aunt Xi ask with a smile, "Will you give birth?"

Xie Wan Ning pursed her lips and whispered, "...life."

The ladies watching the ceremony in the room immediately started to make fun of it.

Aunt Xi also smiled and said, "I hope you two will be happily married, have a son soon, and live a happy life together."

Pei Yuqing was a calm and composed person, but now his eyes were filled with joy. Hearing the auspicious words in the room, he actually said, "Thank you."

After saying thank you, Xie Wan Ning, who prided herself on being thick-skinned, lowered her head uncomfortably, her face slightly red.

The bridal chamber was bustling for a long time, the sky gradually darkened, the banquet in the front hall had already begun, and Pei Yuqing was called to toast and entertain the guests.

The women in the house gradually left, only Pei Yuxuan was worried that Xie Wan Ning would be scared to stay alone in the new house after getting married, so she stayed in the new house a little longer.

It was not until it was completely dark that Xie Wan Ning urged her to have dinner and then left.

The red candles with wedding characters on them were lit early in the house, and only a few maids who came with the dowry were left, busying around quietly.

Er Qing was tidying up her dressing table when she turned around and saw her mistress leaning against the bed frame, looking listless. She couldn't help but ask with concern, "Are you tired, young lady?"

Xie Wan Ning shook her head lazily and said, "Take them to get some food. It's been a busy day."

Even she herself was exhausted after the day and only had two pieces of cake to fill her stomach.

If the master sitting in the bridal sedan is like this, the maids walking outside with her must be even more exhausted.

Er Qing led a few little girls out, and just as Xie Wan Ning was leaving, she heard a greeting coming from outside the door, "Hello, Master."

She was stunned for a moment and looked at the red candle that was barely burning.

...Are you back for a toast already?

In the dream, when she married Lu Ziyan, he came back at least half an hour late.

There was a creaky sound of the door being pushed open.

A man in red appeared at the door. He stood there, looking at the girl on the wedding bed with burning eyes.

He stared at her for too long, and Xie Wan Ning felt very uncomfortable. She pouted and said, "Why, you don't recognize me?"

"I don't know him." Pei Yuqing finally moved his steps, but after taking a step, he turned his head and told Pei Er outside the door, "Go and serve the wine and food."

... His wife hasn't eaten yet. Xie Wan Ning felt a little warm in her heart, and she came back to her senses when the man sat down beside her and held her hand. She complained, "Can I take off these hairstyles now?"

Not counting other things, the gilded and kingfisher-inlaid phoenix crown alone is frighteningly heavy, not to mention the strings of necklaces around her neck.

Wearing this set of equipment from morning to night and still being hungry, Xie Wan Ning could no longer hold on.

She looked particularly listless at the moment, and Pei Yuqing felt distressed when he saw her. He reached out and held her shoulders, saying, "I should have come back earlier."

Xie Wan Ning said: "You have come back very early."

Although she had only been married twice, including the dreams, she had heard interesting stories about other families.

Among the four major happy events in life, the wedding night is one of them. Being a groom is not easy, and it is not easy to get away with toasting.

Pei Yuqing helped her sit down in front of the dressing table, and while removing the heavy phoenix crown from her head, he said with a smile: "My reputation of being weak is widely known, but no one dares to force me to drink more."

Besides, he had several cousins ​​to help him block the drinking.

The most distinguished guests were the princes and dukes.

In terms of status, they are all his cousins ​​and uncles. Even for the sake of Princess Duanyang, he would not let this cousin and nephew who was born with a weak constitution drink too much.

Therefore, when he was standing behind her, Xie Wan Ning hardly smelled any alcohol.

He fiddled with it gently for a few times, and after a while, he felt something light on his head and took off the phoenix crown.

Xie Wan Ning seemed relieved, turned around and smiled at him, "You are so familiar with taking down girls' hairstyles."

He took off such a complicated phoenix crown so quickly without pulling her at all.

Hearing this, Pei Yuqing was both angry and amused. He held her chin and leaned closer: "Who else can I tear apart? I just have eyes to see."

His eyes were smiling, and his handsome face was right in front of me, handsome and charming.

Xie Wan Ning blinked, pulled the hand off her chin, raised her head and kissed him.

At this moment, several footsteps were heard outside the open door.

Several maids came in with meals in their hands.

She was startled and hurriedly stood up. The man next to her held her arm and steadyed her, "Be careful not to fall."

They were almost caught by the servants being so intimate, but this man remained calm as usual. Xie Wan Ning looked at him with admiration.

When all the dishes were served, Pei Yuqing dismissed the others and pulled her to sit down. "You must be hungry. Try it and see if it suits your taste."

That's the question, but given how much he cares about her, how could the food he serves to her not be her favorite?
Xie Wan Ning likes sweet and sour food, so these dozen dishes, including both cold and hot dishes, are mostly her favorites.

She picked up her chopsticks and picked up a piece of pickled bamboo shoots. She saw the people around her also picked up their chopsticks and asked curiously, "You haven't eaten either?"

Didn’t you just come back from toasting outside? Don’t you have anything to eat to fill your stomach?
"I haven't used it yet." Pei Yuqing gave her a chopstick of lotus root slices and said softly, "You are still waiting for me to come back in the new house with an empty stomach. How can I take care of myself first?"

"Before, I thought you were just like my brother, a blockhead. I didn't expect that you are getting better and better at talking about love now."

Xie Wan Ning smiled as she heard this and also picked up some roasted meat for him.

She thought to herself, how could she have met such a love-struck man who only appeared in novels?

Her vision was indeed correct; the old man knew how to care for people.

He is handsome, good-natured, and his heart and eyes are full of her...

Xie Wan Ning began to eat contentedly. The two of them served food to each other from time to time, and the atmosphere in the house was warm and harmonious.
