A worker with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan travels back in time to ancient times and becomes a pri

Xia Taoyuan fell asleep and slept very soundly.

It was past midnight, and Qi Nanfeng jumped lightly into her room.

He looked at the sleeping Xia Taoyuan, brushed his hand gently across her face, and said bitterly: "You will get married in a few days, ha!"

After standing for a long time, Qi Nanfeng murmured again: "Prince Jing is very good. I feel relieved if you marry him." He really thought so. Looking at the entire Yunjun City, the only one who could compare with him was Chu Xingluo. He really didn't care about other people.

Standing by Xia Taoyuan's bed for a long time, Qi Nanfeng went over in his mind how they had met, how they had gotten to know each other, and how they had gotten to know each other. He was sad, reluctant, regretful, and unable to get the love he wanted. These several feelings intertwined together like a black hole that was about to swallow him up.

When leaving, Qi Nanfeng leaned close to Xia Taoyuan's ear and whispered, "Don't forget, you promised me that you would be with me in the next life. I'll wait for you."

Chu Xingluo arrived early in the morning on August 11th. He had been very busy recently and looked a little haggard.

Xia Taoyuan touched his face and said distressedly: "Why don't you take a day off today? You look too tired."

Chu Xingluo said: "I'm fine, I can take you out for a walk in the afternoon, where do you want to go?"

"In that case, let's go to Taoyuan?" Xia Taoyuan looked at Chu Xingluo. She hadn't been there for a long time and she really wanted to go and take a look.

"Okay." Chu Xingluo agreed, and then told Xia Taoyuan that Qingyun had already bought rice and invited dozens of people to cook porridge and provide it on the wedding day.

Xia Taoyuan's heart was full. She had just said it casually at the time, but Chu Xingluo kept her words in mind. How could she not be moved by such a man?

She immediately told Chu Xingluo to find a reliable person to join the Long Yan Qingyun Sect. Even though it was a good deed, it had to be foolproof.

After seeing Chu Xingluo off, Xia Taoyuan went to Madam Wei's room. She was about to get married, and wanted to talk to Madam Wei.

Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

Mu Yanran looked at the boxes of betrothal gifts filling the room, her face filled with joy and pride.

Fang Muyao and Zhang Qianqian were envious. It was said that Prince Jing had given Wei Zhiying so much betrothal gifts. They should have seen what Prince Xuan had given Mu Yanran. Mu Yanran opened several boxes, which were filled with gold and silver jewelry, silk fabrics, and all kinds of rare treasures.

Although Fang Muyao and Zhang Qianqian were both daughters of wealthy families, it was the first time for them to see so many treasures.

Fang Muyao smiled and said, "Only Prince Xuan and the Queen can afford such betrothal gifts. She is indeed the Queen's biological daughter-in-law."

After hearing what Fang Muyao said, Mu Yanran became even more proud.

Zhang Qianqian echoed, "Yes, Yanran, the Queen really values ​​you and has prepared so many betrothal gifts. If you marry Prince Xuan and become the Queen's daughter-in-law, which woman in Yunjun City wouldn't envy you!"

"Don't say that. I heard that Prince Jing has prepared a lot of betrothal gifts. How can I compare with them?" Mu Yanran said in a soft voice.

"More?" Zhang Qianqian said disdainfully, "My maid went out to buy gouache and happened to see the betrothal gifts from Prince Jing's Mansion. She and the people around her counted them and found that there were only sixteen boxes. This number is something that most wealthy families can afford. Ordinary people outside have never seen the world, so naturally they think it's too much."

"Yes, let alone Prince Jing, who is all alone. Even other princes, with the Imperial Concubine in charge, cannot compare to His Royal Highness Prince Xuan, who is the biological son of the Empress. What can Wei Zhiying do to compare with you?" Fang Muyao said.

Mu Yanran was happy, not only because the betrothal gift from Prince Xuan could not fit in an entire room and showed enough importance to her, but also because the betrothal gift from Prince Jing to Wei Zhiying was too shabby compared to hers.

Thinking about the wedding in two days, when he would crush Wei Zhiying in all aspects, he felt relaxed all over.

The night of August 14th.

In Prime Minister Wei's mansion, candles flickered, lights were lit and decorations were everywhere, and servants were moving around in the courtyard, working to ensure a smooth marriage for the young lady tomorrow.

Xia Taoyuan sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the red wedding dress, red embroidered shoes, and gold, silver and jade jewelry spread out on the bed, and felt like she was dreaming.

"Zhiying, it's getting late. You must be exhausted from entertaining so many guests during the day. You should rest quickly because you have to get up early tomorrow." Lu Qing'er urged. As a good friend and future sister-in-law, Lu Qing'er wanted to see Xia Taoyuan off to get married, so she lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Yes, sister, you should go to bed quickly. If you sleep too late, you will not look good tomorrow." Wei Qing also said.

Xia Taoyuan obediently lay down on the bed and closed her eyes. Lu Qing'er was worried that she would not sleep well, so she asked Cui'er to light some agarwood.

Seeing that Xia Taoyuan was sleeping soundly, Wei Qing and Lu Qing'er went back to their rooms to rest.

Prince Jing's Mansion.

"You all should go and have some rest. We have to get up early and go to the palace tomorrow." Chu Xingluo said to Long Yan Qingyun.

After hearing this, Long Yanqingyun left the study. The two of them discussed various matters for tomorrow before going to rest with peace of mind.

Chu Xingluo closed the door of the study and returned to the bedroom. He was a little excited, looking at the portrait of Xia Taoyuan, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The woman he had been thinking about was going to marry him tomorrow, and he could finally spend the rest of his life with her day and night. He was no longer alone, and the days of waking up in the middle of the night and facing endless loneliness at a loss were finally over.

After standing for a while, Chu Xingluo was about to go to bed to rest when the door opened with a creaky sound. A hunched figure flashed in.

Chu Xingluo quickly stood up and called out respectfully, "Uncle."

"Go to the palace early tomorrow to burn incense for your mother." Xiao Feng's voice was stern.

"Yes." Chu Xingluo replied.

The Yuanfu Palace where his mother Xiao Rong lived was burned to ashes. Emperor Ying loved his wife dearly and after the grief, he ordered to build a shrine on the original site to house Xiao Rong's spirit. This was also the place where Chu Xingluo spent most of his time when he was a child.

Xiao Feng said nothing more and walked out silently. Seeing Xiao Feng's tall and strong figure turned into a hunched old man the moment he walked out the door, Chu Xingluo suddenly had a deep understanding of his uncle's persistence over the years.

Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th.

Chu Xingluo entered the palace before dawn. He first went to pay a visit to Emperor Ying.

Emperor Ying looked at him and sighed, "Everyone knows that today is the day you and the fourth prince are getting married, and everyone thought that you would hold a wedding ceremony in the palace."

Chu Xingluo knew what he was going to say, and continued, "Father, Zhiying and I have already decided. We have other things to do after the wedding. I have to go and burn incense for my mother."

Emperor Ying sighed, waved his hand, and said helplessly: "Forget it." He wanted to persuade Chu Xingluo again.

Chu Xingluo went to the ancestral hall, lit a stick of incense and inserted it into the incense burner, then knelt in front of Xiao Rong's tablet. He whispered, "Mother, I'm going to get married today, so you don't have to worry about me anymore."

Kneeling there, he talked about Xia Taoyuan, the good and the bad, everything. As he spoke, a faint smile appeared on his gentle face.

It was not until Long Yan, who was waiting outside, reminded him that it was getting late that Chu Xingluo got up and left.

Seeing that the Imperial Garden was crowded with officials and their families who came to attend the wedding, Chu Xingluo took Long Yanqingyun and took a deserted road to leave the palace.

After returning to the palace, the wet nurse ordered people to help Chu Xingluo change into wedding clothes. Seeing that the auspicious time was approaching, she led a team to the prime minister's residence to welcome the bride.

Prime Minister’s Residence, Sakura Garden.

Xia Taoyuan had already been dressed, and all the maids and female relatives were there. Even Zhao, who rarely showed up, came over, smiling and sending her blessings.

"Sister, you look so beautiful today." Wei Qing exclaimed.

"You girl, wasn't Zhiying beautiful yesterday? Wasn't she beautiful the day before yesterday?" Lu Qing'er said angrily.

"Beautiful, sister is beautiful every day." Wei Qing changed her words in time.

That cute and innocent look made everyone laugh.

After a while, Chang'an Changsheng's voice came from outside: "Prince Jing has arrived."

Mrs. Lu, Lu Qing'er's mother, smiled and said, "Qing'er, put the red veil on Zhiying."

Lu Qing'er did as she was told, and Mrs. Wei called Wei Jinghe to carry Xia Taoyuan downstairs.

When Xia Taoyuan went downstairs, she heard Wei Mingcheng's voice, asking Chu Xingluo to take good care of her. She was moved.

She insisted on getting off Wei Jinghe's back and knelt down to kowtow to Wei Mingcheng and Madam Wei. Madam Wei's eyes turned red and she hurriedly helped her up.

Everything was arranged properly, and the wedding procession and the bride-sending procession marched towards Prince Jing's Palace in a mighty procession.

When they arrived at Prince Jing's Mansion, it was an auspicious time. The host of the wedding was Chu Xingluo's wet nurse, Qingyun Longyan's mother.

Bow to heaven and earth, bow to heaven and earth.

They bowed to their parents again, to Mrs. Wei Mingcheng, and then Chu Xingluo took Xia Taoyuan to pay respect to their wet nurse.

The nurse had tears in her eyes and a comforting look on her face, and she said in her heart: Miss, you can rest assured.

The three couples bowed to each other. Just as the two of them finished, Qingyun Longyan pushed Chu Xingluo and Xia Taoyuan into the next room.

Qingyun chuckled and said, "Our Highness has been waiting for this moment so long that he is anxious. He can't wait to be with the princess and live together."

This sentence made everyone laugh.

Long Yan slapped him and said angrily, "Shut up!"

Xia Taoyuan and Chu Xingluo, who had just been pushed into the room, heard everything. Xia Taoyuan didn't care about anything else, lifted up her red veil, and gritted her teeth and said, "Qingyun, that bastard!"

Looking at Chu Xingluo again, his face flushed slightly, and he stared at Xia Taoyuan without blinking. Seeing that she was angry, he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "What he said is true."

Before Xia Taoyuan could react, he picked her up, jumped out of the window and ran straight to the backyard.

Xia Taoyuan grabbed Chu Xingluo's arm and said anxiously: "Stop! Stop!"

Chu Xingluo stopped walking when he heard that, but he didn't let go of her hand. Xia Taoyuan broke free from him, looked around, and was relieved to see that there was no one around. He asked, "What are you doing?"

Chu Xingluo's eyes were burning, and he lowered his head to kiss Xia Taoyuan.

Xia Taoyuan dodged and said angrily, "Everyone is still waiting in the front yard. Are you so impatient? And it's in broad daylight."

After saying that, he pulled Chu Xingluo and walked towards the front yard. Chu Xingluo had no choice but to follow.

Seeing the two people coming back, everyone came forward to toast them. There was a lot of drinking, laughter and joy, and it was very lively.

Long Yan and Qingyun couldn't drink alcohol, and they had to distribute porridge after the wedding banquet, so they couldn't be careless at all. He held Qingyun's hand and told his trusted men from time to time not to relax for a moment.

In addition to the Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion, the guests who came included Xiao Feng's father's former subordinates, the Lingzhou prefect and a group of generals. In addition, there were several officials who had always supported Wei Mingcheng and General Lu Ting. There were also several officials who had always had a good relationship with Chu Xingluo.
