Li Jinghong went to investigate Doctor Yan's case, and only Hei Mu came with Chu Yunxi. Chu Yunxi asked him to wait outside while she treated Li's mother inside.

After hanging the liquid, Chu Yunxi prescribed another week's worth of oral medicine and explained in detail to Li's mother how to take it. Li's mother had never seen this kind of medicine that did not require decocting. After taking it once, she found that it was not bitter and she could swallow it with just a drink of water. It was really convenient.

It was already noon when the infusion was finished. Li's mother tried to get Chu Yunxi to have lunch with her, but she declined. She did not forget that she had important things to do in the afternoon. In fact, she spent most of the morning waiting for the liquid. Chu Yunxi felt that she seemed to need an assistant. If she had to do the work of doctors and nurses all by herself, it would be a waste of time.

After returning to Dingbei Palace, Hongyu brought a set of bright red wedding dress and said, "Miss, the wedding dress has been delivered. Please try it on first to see if it fits you. The embroiderer is waiting outside. If there is anything that doesn't fit, you can ask her to alter it immediately."

Chu Yunxi took the wedding dress and felt something was wrong, "Am I not a concubine?"

She remembered reading a novel before, which said that concubines in ancient times were equivalent to concubines in a wealthy family and were not allowed to wear bright red. Only the main wife could wear it. Are the rules different here?

Hongyu replied, "Miss, this is what the prince ordered." She looked around, then moved closer to Chu Yunxi and said in a low voice, "The prince has instructed that all preparations in the mansion should be made according to the etiquette of the princess. Except for not being able to hold a grand ceremony according to the etiquette of the princess, the rest must not be wronged by the young lady."

Chu Yunxi was stunned, "Did the prince really instruct me to do so?"

While helping Chu Yunxi take off her clothes, Hongyu said, "Is this true? The servants in the mansion heard it clearly. If you don't believe it, you can ask Butler Ling."

Chu Yunxi felt a little warm in her heart. Although this wedding was fake, Xiao Mubei's care for her was real. No matter whether it was out of friendship between friends or care between colleagues, it was still touching.

"Thank the prince for me." Chu Yunxi put on her wedding dress and said to Hongyu.

Hongyu smiled. This girl was also a festive person. She helped Chu Yunxi put on her wedding dress and said, "Young lady, you don't have to be polite to the prince. You will be the princess of the mansion in the future. It's not good for husband and wife to be too polite. The prince treats you well, and everyone in the mansion can see it. You will be blessed in the future."

Between husband and wife?

Chu Yunxi felt that this word was particularly unfamiliar and a little unreal. Maybe in her heart, this was just a fake wedding and she had never taken it seriously. Now she suddenly became a married woman and it was difficult for her to adapt for a while.

Outside the window, Xiao Mubei was standing under the window. When he heard Hongyu's words, his thin lips slowly curled up. This girl is good and can handle the important task. From now on, let her follow Chu Yunxi.

The Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery had been raided, and Chu Yunxi no longer had a home. Xiao Mubei found the best inn in the capital and booked it in advance for Chu Yunxi to get married there.

Chu Yunxi spent the whole afternoon dressing up and putting on her clothes. Hongyu's indenture was transferred to Chu Yunxi's name and she became Chu Yunxi's maid. In the evening, a sedan chair finally carried her into the corner gate of Dingbei Palace.

Although he couldn't enter through the main gate, Xiao Mubei rolled out the red carpet from Xiaoyueju all the way to the corner gate, and he stood at the corner gate waiting. As soon as Chu Yunxi's sedan arrived, he stepped forward, bent down and carried Chu Yunxi out.

Chu Yunxi had a veil covering her head, and her feet suddenly left the ground. She was so scared that she quickly hugged Xiao Mubei's neck and lowered her voice and asked, "What are you doing, my lord?"

Xiao Mubei also lowered his voice, "Put on a show, so that others will think I dote on you, and no one will dare to neglect you."

Although this is indeed true, and many servants in wealthy families are accustomed to flattering the powerful and bullying the weak, Chu Yunxi feels that no one in Prince Dingbei's mansion treats her lightly. Is Prince Dingbei being a little too worried?

However, it was indeed not very convenient to walk with the veil covering her, but it was better this way as it saved her trouble and effort. Chu Yunxi thus nestled obediently in Xiao Mubei's arms and let him carry her all the way back to Xiaoyueju.

"From now on, you can continue to live in Xiaoyueju. Anyway, there is no queen in this palace, and no one will say anything."

No matter how slow Chu Yunxi was, she knew that even if she was the principal wife, she had her own courtyard. She didn't live in the prince's courtyard. The palace was so big, how could she not have a courtyard?

She was about to protest when Xiao Mubei continued, "When investigating cases in the future, we often need to discuss the case all night long. It's convenient to live here. Besides, we spend most of our time in the Dali Temple and don't come back often. We can move out when it becomes inconvenient in the future."

Well, the leader has said so and has moved the work out. What else can the subordinate say?

Chu Yunxi had no choice but to agree. Xiao Mubei took her hand and walked into the main room of Xiaoyue Residence to prepare for the wedding.

Although she was a concubine, she was the daughter-in-law of the royal family after all, and the first concubine of Prince Dingbei. So Emperor Sui Ming still sent Eunuch Baochan over, gave her a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and asked her to stay to drink wedding wine and then go back to report.

Chu Yunxi didn't want to see the eunuch who had raided her house and wiped out her clan. Fortunately, she was covered by the veil, otherwise she would have wanted to kick him when she saw that face.

After a proper wedding ceremony and the formalities, they were sent to the bridal chamber. Chu Yunxi pulled down the wedding veil, and Hongyu was so scared that she hurried forward, "Princess, the wedding veil will be unveiled when the prince comes back."

"It's okay. If the prince wants to lift it up later, I can just cover it back. But it shouldn't be necessary." They were already in the bridal chamber, so there was no need to put on a show for others. She still had to go back to her room to sleep.

Hongyu was speechless and couldn't persuade Chu Yunxi, so she could only let it go.

Chu Yunxi was waiting in the bridal chamber bored. There was no one outside except Eunuch Baochan. Xiao Mubei did not inform anyone, not even the princes. It was just a concubine marriage, and Chu Yunxi did not like socializing. Xiao Mubei also felt that the fewer people who knew about this, the better.

As soon as Eunuch Baochan left, Xiao Mubei came back. Hongyu hurriedly withdrew tactfully. Chu Yunxi held the veil and said, "My Lord, do you need to lift it again? If you do, I will cover it again."

Xiao Mubei was speechless. Chu Yunxi really didn't take this concubine ceremony seriously at all. Well, she wasn't supposed to be a concubine in the first place. He would give her a grand wedding later.

"No need. There's no outsider here, so let's not put on a show." Xiao Mubei sat down, picked up the wedding wine on the table and drank it all. "Just now, Eunuch Baochan sent a message that today, my father learned about what Yue Qingyun said and was furious. Because he had already issued an order to grant you the title of consort, he had to hold back his anger and let me keep an eye on you."

Chu Yunxi sneered, "As long as I am alive, there will always be a thorn in his heart. The emperor is suspicious. Even if I behave myself, as long as someone mentions the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion, he will feel uncomfortable."

Xiao Mubei heard her bad tone and knew that she was uncomfortable, so he said softly: "Don't worry, I'm here."
