When the princess gets married, the general must not flee

"Ma'am, step over the steps."

"Ma'am, step over the fire pot"

Bai Xin let them do whatever they wanted and walked for a while before seeing the tip of a pair of black boots appear under his feet.

I only heard a woman say, "General, the new wife has arrived, you can get married now."

Bai Xin didn't hear the other party's answer.

Ye Qi nodded to the two maids without much expression on his face. There were no women serving in the general's mansion. The two maids were old people who served Concubine Wei and had also served Ye Qi, so he only allowed the two of them to bring Bai Xin in.

The best man's high-pitched voice sounded:

"A worship of heaven and earth..."

"Second worship high hall..."

"Husband and wife pay homage..."

"The ceremony is over...sent to the bridal chamber..."

Bai Xin was led by a woman to spin in circles on the spot, bowing to her. Ye Qi also completed the ceremony with an expressionless face. After all, the emperor had granted the marriage and the bride was from a foreign country, so the ceremony had to be done with due ceremony.

"Huh...good..." Everyone applauded. On a festive day, everyone was happy to watch the fun, and when the ceremony was over, they all joined in the cheering.

Bai Xin was helped down by the nanny.

"General, congratulations, let's drink this glass." Everyone toasted Ye Qi, and Ye Qi drank it all without saying a word, looking like he was going to get drunk until dawn.

"Cousin, a night of love is worth a thousand gold. If you drink like this, the bride will be angry!"

Ling Hao came over and teased him.

Ye Qi looked at him expressionlessly, as if he was an idiot.

Ling Hao's little heart was hurt.

"Come on, Third Prince, have a drink." Mo Tian quickly pulled the general away. Judging from the general's look, he was probably going to hit him.

The guests in the front yard were bustling and noisy, but Bai Xin was so exhausted from walking that she vomited blood. She walked for nearly half an hour with two maids, wearing a red veil on her head.

"Is this general's mansion that big?" Bai Xin secretly complained, "It's so far away. Is she going to be sent directly to the cold palace?" This thought made Bai Xin secretly happy.

After walking for nearly a quarter of an hour, I finally heard Nanny Chang say, "New Madam, please wait here for the general to arrive. Your maidservants will be waiting outside. We will take our leave first."

After Nanny Chang and the others left the room, they sighed. The general had ordered that the new wife be taken directly to the villa and that there was no need for her to be served. No one was needed to assist with the etiquette of the bridal chamber either. It seemed that the general was not planning to come.

Although the two walls of the villa are adjacent, they are separated by a large forest. It takes a quarter of an hour to walk out of the back door. The new wife is placed in the villa after the wedding. As for the days to come, alas..., the two maids sighed at the same time.

"Princess," Ye'er and the others hurried into the house after seeing Nanny Chang and the others leave. They were taken to a separate courtyard by Zhong Shu and had been separated from the princess for a whole day. They were very worried.

But the princess was also sent to a separate courtyard, which made them even more worried.

"Where is this?" Bai Xin quickly pulled down the veil that had been covering her all day and looked around the room in front of her.

The decoration is quite unique and spacious. The inner and outer rooms are separated by a screen, and light yellow gauze is pulled up on both sides of the partition. There are not too many decorations in the room, that is, there are no festive items for a newlywed couple.

"Princess, this should be the courtyard next to the general's mansion. Princess, you can't lift your veil by yourself. You have to wait for the general to come and lift it." Xier quickly picked up the red veil and was about to help Bai Xin cover it.

"Oh, my Xiaoxi, there's no need to bother." Bai Xin blocked her hand and instructed Lian'er and the others.

"Come here quickly and help me take off all the jewelry. It's really heavy."

"But Princess..." Ye'er hesitated to speak.

"No buts, have you seen the decoration of this room?" Bai Xin pointed to the room.

"Do you look like a newlywed? Hurry up, princess, I'm so tired."

Several maids hurried forward to help her take off her headdress and outer clothes.

"Princess, does General Ye not recognize this marriage?" What should they do with the Wu Kingdom then? Lian'er was a little anxious.

"No, your consort and I have officially married and walked through the ceremony in front of the guests. He can't deny it. No matter how much he dislikes me, Princess, he is still the consort of our Wu country! It's not his turn to deny it."

Bai Xin reassured them that the emperor of the dome had issued an edict and had also attended the ceremony, which showed that it had international influence.

"Hehehe, Princess, you call your husband so smoothly." Min'er covered her mouth and laughed.

"Xiao Min, you're asking for a beating." Bai Xin said, then picked up the soft pillow on the bed and was about to chase Xiao Min.

"Oh, Princess, I won't dare to do it again." Xiao Min ran and begged for mercy, which made the other three laugh and relax.

The night outside the door gradually deepened amid the sounds of laughter, and the bustling sounds of guests in the general's mansion gradually died down.

Ye Qi was sitting in the study, still drunk but still calm and clear-headed. Butler Yang was sitting at the table with his head bowed, waiting for orders, while Mo Tian and Zhong Shu were standing outside the door, waiting.

Zhong Shu had already reported the situation of the marriage to Ye Qi. Bai Xin was unruly and willful, but she did not lose her sense of propriety.

Seeing that Ye Qi had been silent for a long time, Butler Yang said, "General, it's getting late, Master, should we go to the Madam's place?"

Since the housekeeper knew that Bai Xin was taken to the villa, the general would definitely not go. However, he also wanted to ask. He had seen the general grow up since he was a child, and he had been serving the Ye family since the time of the general's predecessor, so he hoped from the bottom of his heart that the general could get married and have a pleasant mistress.

Now that the princess of the Wu Kingdom has married into the family, he also hopes that the Ye family can expand. The Ye family has lived too tragically for thousands of years, and now Ye Qi is living too lonely.

"No need for that. It's enough as long as she has enough food, clothing and other expenses in the future. If she behaves herself, let her make her own decisions in the other courtyard. If she dares to be unruly, you can just give her some advice." Ye Qi didn't raise his eyebrows and wrote quickly.

If the princess behaves herself, he doesn't mind helping her maintain a community of interests. If she doesn't, he will make her and even the Wu Kingdom regret letting her marry into the mansion.

"Yes," Butler Yang sighed in his heart. After all, the general didn't want to have a woman around him.

Imperial Palace, Lihe Palace

A woman in gorgeous clothes and graceful posture sat in front of the dressing table. Two maids took off her pearl hairpins and rings for her. She was in her forties, but because she took good care of herself, the years had not left too many traces on her face.

"Madame Chang, how was Qi'er's wedding banquet?" Concubine Wei opened her red lips.

"My Lady, the wedding went smoothly, but..." Nanny Chang hesitated.

"Just what?" Concubine Wei turned her head.

"After the wedding ceremony, the young master told the servants to take the new wife to the villa outside the general's mansion." After saying this, Nanny Chang sighed softly.

"Alas," Concubine Wei also sighed.

"Qier is a very cold child. I don't think he will accept marrying a foreign woman out of the blue."

"My sister passed away early, and I didn't take good care of Qier." Concubine Wei felt sad. This nephew had been deprived of parental love since childhood, and he didn't marry a wife that she liked. Poor boy.

"I feel so ashamed of myself, sister!" As she said this, tears were about to fall.

Aunt Zhao quickly comforted her, "Madam, we served the new Madam for nearly an hour today, but she didn't complain at all. I guess she's not as stubborn and willful as the rumors say. With time, maybe the young master and the new Madam will get along."

"I hope so!"

Concubine Wei felt somewhat comforted, and hoped that the princess of the Wu Kingdom would be a wonderful person, and could marry Qi'er in the future, which would be worthy of her dead sister.

"Qier is married now. The palace will mention it to the emperor in two days. Haoer is not a child anymore, so it's time to choose a wife for him, or a concubine." Concubine Wei felt even more headache when she thought of her lazy son.

"Hao'er is not a worry-free person either. Just like his cousin, he is careless about marriage. There is not even a maidservant in his house. The Emperor has few children, and Hao'er doesn't care either!" Concubine Wei's head was pounding.

"My queen, don't worry. When Prince Hao was young, didn't you and the emperor intend to marry him to Yu Qingshi, the legitimate daughter of the left prime minister?

I still remember that when the wife of the left prime minister brought Miss Qingshi to the palace to pay respects to the empress, you brought Prince Hao with you. Our prince said that Miss Qingshi was lovely and wanted to marry her. You mentioned it to the emperor, and the emperor said that he would arrange a marriage for them when they grow up!" said the personal maid Xuer.

"The wife of the Left Prime Minister is a wonderful person. I haven't seen Yuqing for a long time. She is just a child's talk, how can I know what she is talking about?" Concubine Wei shook her head

"Your Majesty, don't be anxious. Miss Qingshi still has one or two years before she reaches marriageable age, and our prince is only twenty years old. You can find an opportunity to observe her first, and plan ahead. You will eventually be able to choose a good one for our prince Hao." Xu'er continued.

"Okay, find an opportunity and let me look for some young ladies from aristocratic families, especially Miss Qingshi from Prime Minister Zuo's family." Concubine Wei made up her mind to arrange a marriage for her son as soon as possible.

"A-choo..." Ling Hao, who was drunk in the general's mansion and now stayed in Ye Qi's study and refused to go back home, sneezed. He didn't know that while he was making fun of his cousin, his mother was also preparing to sell him out.

"Cousin, a night of spring is worth a thousand gold. If you don't enter the bridal chamber and handle official business here, I will report to my father to reward you..." Ling Hao, with drunken eyes, was about to move forward to snatch Ye Qi's pen.

"Mo Tian, ​​find a few people to escort the prince back to the palace!" Ye Qi dodged Ling Hao's attack and hit him lightly with his elbow, almost making Ling Hao fall back onto the stool.

Ling Hao turned around and stood up, the drunkenness half gone, and said to the person who came in

"If I don't leave, I will make trouble in the bridal chamber!"

"Cousin, let's go. I want to go to the bridal chamber. I don't even know what my sister-in-law looks like."

As Ling Hao spoke, he reached out to grab Ye Qi. Ye Qi slammed the table and flew up, directly over the table and avoiding Ling Hao's hand.

Ling Hao missed his attack and leaned over to follow Ye Qi's lead. As Ye Qi grabbed and dodged, two fierce figures flew out of the house. Ling Hao's palm wind was sudden and struck Ye Qi in the face like a bolt of lightning in the night.

Ye Qi moved freely in the air, easily avoiding Ling Hao's palm wind; when he turned around, he raised his long left leg with lightning speed and was about to kick Ling Hao's chest. Ling Hao immediately turned his waist, dodged Ye Qi's legs and feet, and immediately attacked again...

In the vast night, under the dim candlelight, a red and a white figure were twirling and entangled, and then stopped. The people below were so excited that their blood boiled and they sighed secretly.

After a hundred rounds, the two men flew back to the front of the house with unstoppable force. Now both of them were sweating profusely, the smell of alcohol had dissipated, and the haze in Ye Qi's heart caused by this marriage had also dissipated a lot.

"Cousin, I can still fight you for three hundred rounds after a break." Ling Hao was a little out of breath, but still maintained his extraordinary demeanor.

"No need for that. You've wasted too much time on your martial arts!" Ye Qi turned around and went back to the study.

"Cousin, are you really not going to the bridal chamber?" Ling Hao chased after him with a playful smile.

Ye Qi turned around and glared at him.

"Then how are you going to explain to the country of Wu?" Ling Hao retracted his smile.

"I have already gotten married today!" Ye Qi said coldly.

Since they have already gotten married, they are now husband and wife. How else does the Kingdom of Ukraine need to explain this, regardless of whether they are actually husband and wife?

"Actually, father and mother still hope that you can..." Ling Hao let out a sigh and didn't dare to finish his words.

"The prince's old illness has recurred recently. You may care whether I have a wedding night or not, but the emperor doesn't care!" Ye Qi glanced at Ling Hao.

"As for aunt, I'm married now, so you should just focus on yourself!"

"Me? I, the suave third prince, am not worthy of any ordinary lady!" Ling Hao sneered.

He hasn't had enough fun yet, so how can he choose a princess to take care of him? As for women, he has all the kinds he wants, he just doesn't care!

"The prince has been intelligent and kind-hearted since he was young, but unfortunately he is weak and has a congenital heart defect. His father and mother are very worried." Ling Hao continued.

"So, Xichang Kingdom has joined forces with other small countries to harass the people living on the border of our Dome. Now the situation is getting worse and worse, and I think someone can't stand it anymore!" Ye Qi looked up at his cousin.

The emperor was nearly sixty years old. He had three princesses before he had three princes, and then he had a third princess. It can be said that he had few princes.

Therefore, the eldest prince was made the crown prince as soon as he was born, but he was afraid that the throne would not last long. If something happened to the crown prince, and only the second prince and Ling Hao were left, there would surely be a bloody fight for the throne.

"I have no interest in the throne." Ling Hao said disdainfully.

One of the reasons why he did not marry a concubine was because if he had no children, it would pose less of a threat to the Second Prince. Brothers being friendly and respectful to each other was the best state, and his father would not worry.

"If you have no intention, the throne will no longer belong to the Ling family." Ye Qi stared at him. He had protected his cousin since he was a child, and he would protect him even more in the future.

"Cousin, today is your wedding. The topic of the throne does not fit in with today's atmosphere." Ling Hao deliberately avoided the topic and started smiling playfully again.

"This topic is also the reason why I am not interested in the bridal chamber. The border residents are being harassed, so I have already asked the emperor for permission to go to the battlefield. As for the court, you can decide for yourself. You are not a child anymore!" Ye Qi ignored his playful smile and stared at him with a cold face.

"You're going to war right after your wedding. A small country doesn't need a general like you. Cousin, you did this on purpose. You're trying to avoid marriage." Ling Hao pointed at him and almost jumped up and shouted, "Then take me with you!"

Ye Qi raised his eyebrows. Is his train of thought beginning to mature? If the prince made military achievements, he would have a legitimate claim to the throne in the future. Ling Hao could no longer be an idle prince.

"You can ask the emperor and aunt yourself!" Ye Qi said.

"Okay, I'll ask tomorrow. When will we set off?" Ling Hao made up his mind.

"Two months later, tomorrow I will go to the palace with you and pay my respects to my aunt." Ye Qi looked at him, "I will go to the camp to rest in two days."

"...!"

Although Ling Hao was determined to go, he thought, "Cousin, there's no need to be so anxious. You're newly married, you're newly married," Ling Hao was speechless.

The bright moonlight spread over the roof of the general's mansion, and the candlelight flickered in the red lanterns in front of the eaves. The scenery was beautiful and charming. It should have been a long and happy time in Changchun House, with orchids and jades filling the courtyard, but because of the obstruction of the two newlyweds, it seemed a little desolate, and the night was getting darker...
