The peerless and dark princess

Three years had passed, and while Chu Wange hadn't fallen deeply in love with Zuo Ci, the marriage was bound to happen. Over the years, besides those around her, Yi Hua, she had also developed a few close friends. Chen Yueyao, Gong Qingyu, and others had flocked to the Prince of Yan's mansion to bring her gifts. Mu Lanxin, managing Chu Wange's shop and other businesses, had amassed a fortune, often spending on rare items like mink fur and agate. Gong Qingyu was so envious that she joked that she would give her such prizes when she married Chu Lixiu.

"Sister, this is a hairpin I made myself." Chu Haolin carefully took out the hairpin from the brocade box from his sleeve and handed it to Chu Wange. His face was full of trepidation, afraid that Wange would not like the jade hairpin with slightly rough craftsmanship. "I hope you like it."

"Lin'er, of course I like it. This is made by my brother himself. Even the most precious treasure in the world cannot replace it." Chu Wange knew his thoughts very well. This child was very sensitive. A few days ago, he was worried that he would abandon him alone in the Prince of Yan's Mansion to live with his grandfather. "You, did you hurt yourself while polishing this jade hairpin?"

Chu Haolin was embarrassed. His sister still cared about him so much and would not change because of getting married. "No, no. Sister, I'm going to read with my brother then."

"Well, go ahead. Remember to walk around after reading for a long time."

"Sister, I know."

Chu Haolin didn't actually have to go to Chu Lixiu's place to study. Instead, he stayed there, watching Wange prepare for her wedding, feeling a pang of sadness. His elder sister was getting married, and while they would still live together, the significance of their relationship was vastly different. From now on, the palace would be his sister's home, not theirs, and he didn't want to live without his sister. However, he couldn't let his sister see these thoughts, nor did he want the man to know.

"Wangge, you've tried on the wedding dress, right? I heard that my sister-in-law found a lot of embroiderers with excellent embroidery skills and made it a year in advance..."

"I've tried it. Luckily the wedding dress wasn't too complicated, otherwise, with the phoenix crown and all that, it would have been really tiring."

"You're the only one who thinks the phoenix crown is too heavy." Chu Moxuan gently pressed Wange's shoulder. "A woman should be beautiful when she gets married, but you actually asked your brother-in-law if he could not wear the phoenix crown. I'm afraid you're the only one in the world who would do that."

"But the phoenix crown is really heavy. I have to wear it all day."

Chu Wange was initially very interested in the gold jewelry; after all, it held its value and could be stored. Later, as she became more financially secure, her interest waned, especially when she saw the heavy phoenix crown, which made her scalp tingle. Fortunately, Zuo Ci had the crown delivered three months before the divorce date. Chu Moxuan had shared this with her good friend Zuo Yunxin, and Wange had also mentioned the phoenix crown's heaviness to Zuo Ci. Ultimately, Zuo Ci had a craftsman forge a new one, the current one, which was much lighter than the previous one.

The next day, Chu Wange and Zuo Ci got married. The emperor personally came to Prince Yan's Mansion to witness Chu Wange's wedding. Such honor made many people sigh that Chu Wange had a good fate.

Chu Wange was born the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion. Although she later acted erratically, Mu Heng's affairs hadn't affected her in the slightest. She also had the protection of the Prince of Yan's Mansion, and she married the handsome Zuo Ci. Now, the Emperor Chen Yu and Crown Prince Chen Siran were in person to witness her wedding. How could this not spark jealousy among the many noble ladies in the capital?

"Wangge, your mother-daughter relationship with Wanran was short-lived... Grandmother, seeing you get married today, must be delighted for your mother. You've endured so much hardship over the years, but now, at last, you've finally found your happy place... Grandmother has nothing special to say to you. You've always been intelligent, so just live your life well."

Lu Yishan's eyes reddened as she gazed at the face that looked so much like Wanran. These were the words that Chu Wanran, as her mother, should have spoken to Wange. However, at this moment, only she, her grandmother, was speaking, while her grandmother, Jiang, hadn't even shown her face. Well, Wange probably didn't care. Besides, with her family members loving her, it didn't matter if her grandmother didn't come.

"Grandma, I'll be fine. Besides, Prince Heng's Mansion isn't far from Prince Yan's Mansion. I'll bring Lin'er back to visit you from time to time."

"You little devil, you are already married, how can you go back to your grandparents every day? You just need to live a good life with Zuo Ci, he is also a miserable man. Besides, although Yun Xin is older than you, you have to take care of her as the elder sister-in-law is like a mother..." Lu Yishan patiently taught Wange how to be a wife.

Although Chu Wange has the soul of a modern person and will not be a virtuous wife who takes care of her husband and children, she likes such elders to teach her carefully from the bottom of her heart. This is something she has never experienced in her past life or this life, and she enjoys this feeling very much.

"Grandma, don't worry about me. I have Yihua and the others to take care of me, so you can rest assured. Besides, Lin'er is with me...Who in Dali doesn't envy me now?"

"Our Wange is naturally the best. Grandmother asked your aunt and second aunt to put on your makeup and cover you with the veil. The bride should be beautiful." Lu Yishan patted Wange's hand. She wanted to touch her face, but was afraid of smudging her makeup. Seeing that her lips were not bright enough, she wanted someone to put on some lip balm. "Soon, Zuo Ci will be coming to pick you up."

——Boundary line——

Many people had been waiting in front of the Prince of Yan's mansion since early in the morning. Everyone knew that Chu Wange from the Prince of Yan's mansion was getting married today, and her husband was Prince Heng Zuo Ci. So they came to ask for wedding money. Such a wealthy family would definitely give a lot of wedding money.

Zuo Ci ordered Gu Xun, Zhuo Li and others to take the servants along the street to scatter wedding money (copper coins) to the crowd. Anyway, he and Chu Wange were not short of money, so letting these people get some wedding money could be considered a good deed.

"Ah Xun, luckily Ah Ci is not short of money. So many people come to ask for money..."

"Um, Brother Bin, do you think we should organize a wedding banquet like this when recruiting a son-in-law?"

"What? Recruiting a son-in-law?" Yu Ruobing (Leng Ying) knew how to get to the point. "Who are you with?"

"I'll bring someone to see you after we finish drinking at Brother Aci's wedding." Gu Xun was not shy. They had seen that person before anyway, but he didn't know if they would be surprised.

Yan Qing, following behind, now had red ears. The person Gu Xun was talking about was him, and he had agreed to be her live-in son-in-law without thinking. Yes, that's right, live-in son-in-law. However, as Su Feng (Leng Qing) said, most people couldn't afford such a gigolo. After all, his father had been beheaded, his mother had passed away early, and he was all alone. Since Gu Xun was willing to take him home as her husband, what was wrong with that?

"Haha, I want to see who can catch Axun's eye." Feng Lan (cold-blooded) also came over and joked.

Yan Qing was sweating profusely on his back. If he knew that Gu Xun (Leng Yue) was recruiting him, would he be thrown into that place to train for several months again? Ah Xun would definitely protect him.

Gu Xun smiled and said, "Haha, you'll know after we finish the wedding wine."

Gu Xun naturally knew why Yan Qing was so afraid of Feng Lan. After all, he had been thrown into the mountains by him for several months and had suffered a lot. Fortunately, after coming out from there, he had become much more agile.
