I don't want to be the favorite concubine of this palace anymore

During this period, An Muxi was forced by Wu to embroider wedding dresses. Although her life was peaceful, it was very fulfilling.

It would be perfect if my fingers didn't get poked with holes every day.

Li Rui would come to see her secretly from time to time, of course always in the dead of night.

For the first time, An Muxi understood what the honeymoon period meant.

That night, An Muxi heard the familiar three knocks on the window again.

She stood up and walked over to open the door.

"Let me see who's here?"

Li Rui stood at the door in a black brocade robe, his body covered with silver moonlight. The man in front of him looked like a banished immortal.

The tall figure enveloped her, and in the backlit darkness she could only see a pair of eyes staring at her intently.

"Do you recognize who I am?"

"Ah, isn't this His Royal Highness Prince Rui?"

Li Rui approached step by step, and An Muxi took a few steps back and went back into the house.

The door was closed and Li Rui pinched her chin.

“That’s not the right answer.”

"I remember now, you are Li Rui!"

This little woman did it on purpose. She knew exactly what answer he wanted to hear but she just wouldn't tell him. She was the only one who dared to call him by his name all day long.

She must be punished!

Li Rui lowered his head and kissed that annoying cherry mouth.

An Muxi was not willing to be outdone and directly hooked her arms around Li Rui's neck.

With their lips and teeth entangled and their ears rubbing, An Muxi was carried to the bed by Li Rui.

After some effort, Li Rui looked up and asked, "Xi'er, do you know who I am now?"

An Muxi could hardly utter a complete sentence, but in her heart she still didn't want him to succeed.

"You are the third prince of Tiansheng Kingdom."

Li Rui gritted his teeth in anger. He could listen to her in other matters, but he had to be the boss on the bed!

Finally, An Muxi begged for mercy: "Husband, I was wrong, please forgive me."

Li Rui finally heard the answer he wanted to hear, and then he hugged her and said, "It's good that you know you were wrong."

An Muxi knew in her heart that she was wrong, but she would dare to do it again next time. She just liked to see Li Rui going crazy for her.

She took the opportunity to act pitiful and told Li Rui that she was forced to embroider a wedding dress and her hands were full of holes.

Li Rui grabbed her little hand and kissed it distressedly: "Don't embroider the wedding dress anymore, I'll ask the embroiderer in the palace to embroider it for you."

An Muxi only now realized that Li Rui was really a super warm-hearted man. She was very satisfied with his answer, but still said:

"No, I have to embroider the wedding dress myself, because my husband is the best man in the world, and I must take it seriously. After all, this is the only chance in my life."

Li Rui was moved and held An Muxi in his arms. It was the first time he heard An Muxi's words that were close to confession.

There were so many emotions in their hearts. After going through so many ups and downs, the two of them were finally going to be together.

A few days passed like honey and oil.

During this time, Aunt Zhang, the housekeeper of the county lord's house, came over and gave An Muxi an account book. Several shops regularly handed over the money they earned to the accountant.

Now she has a savings of nearly 60,000 taels of silver, which can be said to be earned through her own hard work.

An Muxi was very happy looking at the account book, and asked Aunt Zhang to give some bonuses to the maids and servants in the houses and shops.

In fact, this money is just a number to her.

Mrs. Wu had already prepared her dowry, including ten shops, five farms, 500 acres of fertile land, and 50,000 taels of silver.

This does not include the countless jewels and jewelry. In addition, Wu said that the Duke's Mansion would not accept any of the betrothal gifts sent by Prince Rui, and all of them would be given to her as dowry and then sent back to Prince Rui's Mansion.

An Muxi can now imagine the days of lying at home and collecting money every day after entering Prince Rui's mansion.

The day of Bai Jingchen and Gu Anyan’s wedding finally arrived.

An Muxi helped Mrs. Wu with running errands, preparing dishes and greeting guests.

The wedding was very grand and went smoothly. Li Rui specially helped mobilize the secret guards of the Rui Palace to watch over it, making sure that no trouble would occur.

During the ceremony, the emperor came in person to watch the wedding ceremony and presented gifts.

Although I only drank one glass of wine from the newlyweds before leaving, it was considered a great honor.

After the emperor left, everyone was happy and the wedding banquet ended very successfully.

After all, no one would have the time to cause trouble for the Ningguo Mansion and the Jingzhao Prefecture Yin's family.

After Gu Anyan got married, An Muxi finally had someone to talk to.

The aunt and the sister-in-law are always together, and Bai Jingchen is almost jealous.

The young couple loved each other very much, and Gu Anyan was a sensible person. Duke Ningguo and his wife were very satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

Now there was one more person to supervise An Muxi's embroidery of the wedding dress. Fortunately, with the help of the embroiderer from the Duke's Mansion, An Muxi completed most of the main embroidery work.

Her wedding dress was finally completed three days before the wedding.

Wu warned, "Xi'er, the wedding day is in three days, so you and His Royal Highness Prince Rui should not meet during these few days."

An Muxi knew that there was a custom of not seeing each other one day before the wedding, but why did it become three days in Wu's case?

But of course she wouldn't object, her mother was definitely doing it for her own good.

As a result, Li Rui came knocking on the window again that night.

An Muxi let him in: "Mother said today that we can't meet in the next few days. Why are you here again?"

Li Rui was a little annoyed while holding An Muxi: "I was so excited that I couldn't sleep, so I had to come to see you."

An Muxi burst out laughing. She didn't expect that Li Rui was even more nervous than her.

"Okay, now that you've seen it, you can go back quickly. Be patient for another three days, and we can be together forever from now on."

In the end, Li Rui pestered her for a long time before giving up.

Three days later, Li Rui finally came to pick up the bride, riding a tall horse and bringing a sedan chair carried by eight people.

When you enter the door, there is naturally a group of people knocking on the door to ask for red envelopes.

However, Li Rui was no pushover. He brought a group of capable subordinates with him, and successfully reached the bride's boudoir.

Of course, a lot of red cloth was also spread out. Li Rui is not a stingy person because he is short of money.

Originally, the brother should have carried the bride out, but Li Rui didn't even give Bai Jingchen a chance.

He carried An Muxi directly into the sedan chair.

He was afraid that the Bai family would go back on their word and not marry their daughter to him.

This made the Ningguo couple laugh and cry at the same time.

Mrs. Wu had prepared her handkerchief and was ready to cry, but before she could express her emotions, her daughter had already passed away in the sedan chair.

Finally, Gu Anyan said with a smile: "Mother, look at how impatient His Royal Highness Prince Rui is. I must have been pampered by him in the past. Don't worry."

Wu also laughed.

The Prince Rui's mansion was decorated with lights and lanterns. Nanny Zhao and a group of maids had decorated the mansion a few days in advance.

Both the emperor and the empress came to the banquet.

Only then did everyone realize that the emperor still attached great importance to Prince Rui.

An Muxi married Li Rui in a daze with a red veil on her head, and then was sent to the bridal chamber.

She could feel that this was not Li Rui's original bedroom.

While I was still daydreaming, Aunt Zhao came in and said, "Princess, the prince asked me to bring you some food."

Soon the table was filled with dishes.

An Muxi got up early in the morning and had no appetite, so she didn't eat much. But she didn't hesitate and was helped by Nanny Zhao to sit down and eat a lot.

Afterwards, Nanny Zhao considerately asked someone to apply lip balm to her before leaving.

An Muxi felt that today's wedding went quite smoothly.

At the banquet, after the emperor and empress drank Li Ruijing's wine, they left and returned to the palace.

Li Rui could see that there wasn't much of a blessing in the Queen's eyes, but rather some other inexplicable look.

But he didn't care about that. Now he just wanted to marry An Muxi smoothly, and then he could let go and do other things.

After a while, Eunuch De came in and said, "Your Majesty, someone is coming from your maternal grandfather's family."

Li Rui frowned slightly. After his mother passed away, his maternal grandparents never contacted him. Why did they choose to come today?

Is it intentional or coincidence?

"Let them in."

After a while, three people were seen entering the banquet hall, an old lady, a young woman and a middle-aged man.
