Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

Chapter 136: For Checks and Balances

February 6th is a good day

The marriage of Prince Liang and Princess Rong'an was a grand wedding that caused a sensation in the entire capital.

King Liang was so happy that wherever the sedan chair passed by, he would not only scatter wedding candies but also copper coins, so that all the people could share in the joy.

Therefore, along the way, those blessings were spoken like flowing water.

Cui Nanjin carried Cui Panxi to the bridal sedan.

"Prince Liang, this is the treasure of our Ning'an Palace. I'm handing her over to you today. If you dare to treat her badly, we at the Ning'an Palace will never let it go."

Upon hearing this, Prince Liang was not angry, but happily agreed, "I will also treat Xier like a treasure, so you can rest assured, Prince."

"The bride is getting into the sedan chair."

Following the matchmaker's shout, Cui Nanjin had no choice but to put his sister into the bridal sedan even though he was reluctant.

Prince Liang bowed to Prince Ning'an and his wife, then mounted his horse and led the bridal sedan team back to Prince Liang's palace.

But the bride had already arrived at Prince Liang's Mansion, and the long procession of dowries was still being carried out from Prince Ning'an's Mansion.

This is truly a ten-mile red wedding, and the Ning'an Prince's Mansion is almost moving the royal palace there.

The emperor also attached great importance to this wedding, even though the imperial concubine was banished to the cold palace and could no longer attend.

But the emperor came with the queen, which shows that Prince Liang still occupies an important position in his heart.

Prince Liang was very happy when he saw this, especially when he saw the Queen's reluctant look but having to come.

Without Xie Junyi, the queen had no one to rely on. Maybe she would have to ask herself for help in order to stay in the palace in the future.

The wedding went very smoothly.

Cui Panxi sat in the bridal chamber, anxiously waiting for the arrival of King Liang.

Even though this husband was not the one she expected, they were still husband and wife now that they were married.

Then the wedding night is inevitable.

She couldn't tell whether she was nervous or resistant. In her heart she hoped that King Liang would be tripped up by something and never be able to come to her new house.

But today, for King Liang, getting married is the most important thing, even if there is anything that can stop him from entering the bridal chamber.

After an unknown amount of time, King Liang returned to the room reeking of alcohol.

He walked forward and pulled off Cui Panxi's veil.

"Your Highness, you need to use a weighing rod to lift it up."

Seeing his rude behavior, the fortune teller quickly reminded him.

"Go away, go away, all of you, get out and don't disturb my bridal chamber."

King Liang urged impatiently.

"But, Your Majesty, this wedding wine..."

The process was not yet completed, and the matchmaker reminded again.

"Wedding wine?" King Liang saw the two wine glasses handed over by the maid and smiled, "This one needs to be drunk."

"Princess... No, Princess, let's drink from each other's cups."

Cui Panxi raised her eyes, reached out to take the wine glass, and following the matchmaker's instructions, the two crossed their wrists and drank the wine in one gulp.

"Congratulations, Prince and Princess. The ceremony is complete. I wish you a long and happy marriage and a son soon."

"Okay, there's a reward."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After receiving the reward, Matchmaker led her servants and walked out tactfully.

……

The next day, the refreshed Prince Liang brought the somewhat tired Cui Panxi to the palace to pay his respects.

The Queen did not show up, citing illness as the excuse, and only the Emperor met them.

"Greetings to my father."

"Get up, you two are newlyweds, so Prince Liang should stay at home and accompany Princess Liang for the next few days."

"My son, I obey."

Prince Liang said happily, "Now I am finally married, with Princess Liang, and have a family. I have to thank my father for all this."

"It is God's will that you two can have such a fate. In the future, you two must understand and trust each other and give birth to a grandson for me as soon as possible."

The emperor's words made Cui Panxi blush, but Prince Liang responded loudly.

"My son, I obey."

"I have also prepared a wedding gift for you. Present it to me."

When Prince Liang heard about the wedding gift, he was excited, but when he saw that it was a pair of jade ruyi, his face fell.

He asked without giving up, "Father, I remember you said before that you would give me a surprise when I got married. I am still waiting."

"Haha..." The emperor laughed, "How could I forget? I wanted to wait a few days before issuing an imperial decree. Since you can't wait, I will issue an imperial decree now."

Prince Liang stared at the emperor with burning eyes, and he felt like he could even hear his own heart pounding.

The emperor said, "You have always wanted the position of the Patrol Battalion, right? Commander Jing is old, and I will allow him to retire and return home. You will be the commander of the Patrol Battalion."

"But you don't have to rush to take office. You can spend more time with Princess Liang."

"My son, I obey."

King Liang responded in a deep voice.

His face was terribly gloomy all the way, until he returned to Prince Liang's Mansion, he angrily smashed everything in the room.

"What are you doing? You're so angry."

Cui Panxi was a little confused. Could it be because the queen didn't see them?

But the queen also sent someone to deliver gifts, so what does it matter whether this person meets her or not.

Anyway, the Queen has no superficial relationship with them.

"Father, you actually sent me away with just a position as the commander of a patrol battalion. You are clearly playing a trick on me."

King Liang said with gritted teeth.

"This patrol battalion manages the security of the capital. Although it has a small number of soldiers, it has considerable power. The emperor has given you this commanding position, which is also a sign of trust in the Prince of Liang's Mansion."

This was obviously a good thing, she didn't understand why King Liang was so angry.

"Trust?" King Liang sneered, "But he clearly said before that when I marry you, he will make me the crown prince."

"What?" Cui Panxi was shocked. If the emperor had originally promised to make him the crown prince, now he would only make him the commander of the patrol camp.

The gap is quite big. "Your Majesty, do you want to wait a little longer and wait for your decree to be the crown prince?"

After all, the emperor has always favored Prince Liang. Now that the two are married, Xie Junyi has also left the capital.

It is almost a foregone conclusion that Prince Liang will be the crown prince.

"Father is not a person who is indecisive. Now is the best time to appoint me as the crown prince. If we wait any longer, until Xie Ruixuan grows up, he will be the next Xie Junyi, and it will be even more difficult to appoint him as the crown prince."

Prince Liang slammed his hand on the table. "I have hinted many times today. It's not that Father doesn't understand. He is just trying to change the subject on purpose."

"Your Majesty, do you not want you to be the Crown Prince?"

Cui Panxi frowned. The emperor's mind was hard to predict. Who knew what the emperor was planning next.

King Liang sneered, "In the past, I fought with King Qi. King Qi had many supporters and was also the legitimate son. If I didn't have the support of my father, I would not be his opponent at all."

"I now understand that he supports me not only because he loves me, but also because he wants to check and balance Prince Qi."
