All the members are good people, only the host is a pervert

Lin Ruan married out of the palace.

On a sunny, breezy morning, Xie Yunze, dressed in a vibrant, ornate official groom's uniform, stood tall and straight like a pine tree, handsome and elegant, his bearing as striking as a peach blossom in full bloom in spring. He was seen riding a tall, majestic horse, slowly approaching the palace gate.

After reaching the palace gate, Xie Yunze dismounted gracefully. He then ordered everyone to carry the carefully prepared "Nine-Nine Ceremony" to the Meridian Gate and present it respectfully.

A eunuch would present the gift list to the emperor for his review, and then a group of well-trained guards would be dispatched to carefully carry these precious gifts to the princess's residence. Meanwhile, the princess's residence was a scene of bustle, with numerous servants working tirelessly to prepare a grand banquet, ensuring that the wedding was filled with joy and celebration.

Xie Yunze walked slowly towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony with steady steps. Along the way, his heart seemed to be about to jump out of his body, and his feet felt soft and light, as if he was stepping on clouds. Everything seemed so unreal.

When he stepped into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he immediately saw the emperor who was already sitting at the top.

The emperor felt both happy and complicated at this moment.

The emperor was deeply moved by the affair between Lin Ruan and the monk consort. On the one hand, Lin Ruan was one of his few remaining blood relatives, and they once shared a deep kinship. He and the eldest princess had endured many ups and downs together, supporting each other and sharing hardships. However, time passed, the world changed, and people's minds shifted. Now, as emperor, shouldering the heavy responsibility of state, he dared not gamble, could not gamble. Although he felt deeply guilty towards his sister, he repeatedly took action against Lin Ruan for the sake of the country.

On the other hand, as Lin Ruan's uncle, seeing that she could only choose someone like Xie Yunze as her husband, and thinking of his brother-in-law, the eldest princess' husband, Lin Ruan's father - that was the real Yu Lang, the emperor couldn't help but feel a little helpless and regretful, but he was unwilling to admit that he was also very relieved.

And tonight, he will attack Lin Ruan again.

"For the last time, Ruan'er." The emperor said silently to Lin Ruan in his heart, "From now on, you will be the princess that your uncle cherishes most."

The emperor didn't say these words out loud, but buried them deep in his heart. As the ruler of a country, he knew that some things could not be changed, and some things had to be done.

Princess Changle, Lin Ruan, wore a phoenix coronet and bridal robe today. This wedding gown was meticulously crafted by the palace's most skilled tailors, taking days and days to craft. It was embroidered with vibrant auspicious clouds and lifelike images of birds paying homage to the phoenix. The interweaving of gold and silver threads shone as brightly as the twinkling stars in the sky.

At this moment, Lin Ruan held a delicate fan in her hand, which perfectly obscured her stunning features, yet perfectly revealed a pair of eyes that seemed both shy and happy, their gaze radiating with joy. Accompanied by the Empress, the mother of the nation, and surrounded by a group of respectful palace maids and eunuchs, she walked with light and graceful steps towards the majestic Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony was solemn and magnificent. The emperor sat upright on the dragon throne, looking majestic without even being angry. Xie Yunze had already stood respectfully below, waiting quietly.

The Queen came in, bowed, and sat next to the Emperor. Seeing this, Lin Ruan walked over to Xie Yunze and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

The two of them knelt on the ground to bid farewell to the emperor and empress, then walked out of the palace gate and walked towards the long-awaited motorcade together.

In front of the sedan chair, gongs and drums roared, colorful flags fluttered, and a grand ceremonial guard led the way. They were dressed in gorgeous costumes, holding various feather fans and flags, and marched in unison with great momentum.

Then, Xie Yunze rode a majestic, tall horse, looking very heroic. He was dressed in splendid clothes and a feather crown, and his face was handsome and imposing. He held the reins and led the entire wedding procession forward.

Following Xie Yunze were Lin Ruan's guards. They were all in high spirits, following closely behind, protecting the sedan chair. These guards were well-trained and agile, giving off an air of authority and reliability.

At the very back was a group of fully armed cavalry cadets, carrying spears and looking majestic, responsible for protecting the princess and maintaining order.

At the end of the team were the servants carrying baskets of copper coins, and the matchmakers kept grabbing the copper coins and throwing them out of the team.

The entire wedding procession was large in scale and grand in momentum, attracting many people to stop and watch and admire it.

Finally, they arrived at the Princess's Mansion, which had actually been given the name "Princess Changle's Mansion" by the Emperor. The mansion had been renovated and looked brand new, with every brick and tile revealing the grandeur of the royal family. Lin Ruan sat on the bed, listening to the clamor outside, her heart calm.

It’s actually quite magical. From ancient times to the present, women have always been the indispensable protagonists of weddings, but most wedding processes have nothing to do with women.

It's like a one-man show for the groom.

There was no lady of noble birth accompanying Lin Ruan in her room - she was not familiar with the ladies of noble birth in the capital at all.

The women of the Anning Marquis's residence, on the other hand, seemed somewhat reserved and awkward. After a brief exchange with Lin Ruan, they all stood up, bowed, and quietly withdrew. After all, these women didn't interact much with Lin Ruan, and they didn't know each other well. Furthermore, Lin Ruan's unique status meant that their treatment of her was mostly superficial politeness and respect.

Seeing that the noise outside would not stop for a while, Lin Ruan asked An Lan and the others to go out and told her to rest in the room alone for a while.

After An Lan and the others left, Lin Ruan stood up and walked to the table. She opened the jug of Heqin wine, smelled it, and couldn't help laughing.

Now the emperor no longer poisoned her, but asked the imperial physician to check Lin Ruan's pulse every month, so Lin Ruan was unable to resolve the chronic poison deposited in her body.

Actually, it’s not that bad. In the real world, Lin Ruan is already in poor health. He is sick from head to toe, from heart to stomach.

She studied medicine because her family believed that at least she should take good care of herself.

Therefore, for the physical discomfort caused by the poisoning, Lin Ruan rejected the system's suggestion to "block physical sensations" and instead adapted well.

And there was a sterilizing drug in this pot of wine.

Lin Ruan poured out a little more and tasted it. The smell of the contraceptive medicine was not obvious, and it was difficult for non-professional doctors to feel it. But the emperor didn't know that Lin Ruan was a doctor, the kind of doctor who was praised by teachers as the most spiritual when he was in school.

Lin Ruan turned around and pulled out a few small paper bags from under the bed, picked out the one she wanted, opened it, poured the powder inside into the wine jug, shook it, and then stuffed the remaining paper bags back into the secret compartment under the bed.

What is the use of this powder?

whee.
