Being an emperor is not something he can do, so he can only rely on his connections.

Gao Jiong opened his arms affectionately and tried to hug Tie Lihua from behind. However, Tie Lihua reacted quickly and nimbly drew a gleaming dagger from her waist, pointing the tip of the sword straight at Gao Jiong to prevent him from getting any closer.

Tielihua's eyebrows were raised, her beautiful eyes were wide open, and she shouted angrily, "Don't! Don't come over here!"

Gao Jiong looked at the woman in front of him who had haunted his dreams, and felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He called out softly, "Lihua..."

The dagger in Tielihua's hand trembled slightly. She bit her lip and said in a tearful voice, "Don't come over... Please, I just want to be alone!"

Seeing this, Gao Jiong knew that he could not force it anymore, so he hurriedly bowed and said apologetically: "I am sorry for being rude, Miss Tie. The guests outside have arrived one after another, and the banquet is about to begin. As the Zan Li, I must go to preside over the situation. However, after I finish these matters later, I will come to see you again. Farewell!" After that, he looked at Tie Lihua deeply, then turned and left in a hurry.

Tielihua watched Gao Ying's receding figure, tears streaming down her face. She raised her hand and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Then she turned around and disappeared into the depths of the winding corridor as quickly as a frightened deer.

At this moment, a clear and pleasant female voice suddenly came from behind Jiuer: "Why are you here?"

Jiu'er and Sima Yanran were startled by the sudden sound. They both trembled and stood up quickly, looking back. They saw Xiaolan sitting upright on an exquisite bamboo sedan chair, two strong soldiers carrying it steadily, while Ma Tianmao walked calmly in front, holding a folding fan, leading the way.

Jiuer showed a trace of embarrassment on her face, and stammered to explain: "Um...that...we accidentally got lost."

Sima Yanran also quickly agreed and said, "Yes, yes, the Zhang Mansion is really too big. We searched for a long time but couldn't find where Ling'er's wedding room is!"

Ma Tianmao smiled slightly and said gently, "It's okay, it's okay. In that case, let me lead the way for you two. Please follow me." After that, he walked forward with light steps. Jiuer and Sima Yanran looked at each other and hurriedly followed.

……

The bridal chamber consists of a living room and a bedroom, but there is a large entrance hall between the two. The red silk that Zhang Jingwei and Zhang Jingwei held was tied across the entrance hall as a "cordon", so that people inside could not go out and people outside could not come in.

This is actually the wedding line. After midnight, the bride will take off her glasses. Except for the groom, who performs the ceremony, no guests are allowed to cross this line. However, they can make noises and watch the newlyweds make love. This is a real love-making. Red dates, peanuts, dried longans, and lotus seeds are placed under the sheets, and the newlyweds roll around on the bed, trying to crush these things as much as possible.

It means "May you have a son soon and live in peace every year!"

……

When Huangfu Ling was lying on her wedding bed feeling bored, a beautiful woman in black and gold clothes jumped in through the window.

The sleepy Douya was so frightened that he quickly stood up, picked up the stool on the ground and confronted the beautiful woman.

Douya's eyes widened as he shouted angrily, "Hey! How dare this thief trespass here... Hey? It's Miss Tie!"

Huangfu Ling looked at the door with a puzzled look on his face and asked softly, "Iron Ox?"

Tielihua raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said with a smile, "Da Li, you look absolutely stunning in this wedding dress! You look like a gentle and dignified lady from a noble family."

Huangfu Ling put her hands on her hips and said coquettishly, "Humph, I am originally a lady from a famous family, okay!"

Tielihua frowned slightly, waved her hand and said, "If you have nothing to do right now, how about a fight with me? I'm in a terrible mood right now, and I'm looking for someone to vent my anger on."

Huangfu Ling touched her stomach, looked at Tielihua pitifully and said, "All right, but before we start fighting, could you please give me something to eat? I'm starving and my chest is sticking to my back. I'm seeing stars!"

Tielihua rolled her eyes and replied unhappily, "How can you bring food with you when you're fighting?"

Just as the two were talking, there was a soft knock on the door.

I heard someone outside the door shouting, "Ling'er, it's me, I'm coming in!"

Before he finished speaking, the door was slowly pushed open. The first person who came into view was Sima Yanran, holding Xiaolan in her arms, walking in cautiously, while Jiuer followed closely behind, carrying an exquisite brocade box, and gently closed the door.

After Sima Yanran gently placed Xiaolan on the seat, she sank down on the stool as if relieved. She patted her waist with her hand and muttered, "Oh my, Alan, I see you've gained a lot of weight recently. You've become a lot rounder!"

When Xiaolan heard this, she raised her eyebrows slightly and said in a slightly louder voice, "Stop talking nonsense!"

At this moment, Huangfu Ling's eyes were completely attracted by the exquisite brocade box in Jiuer's hand. She stared at the box like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey, begging non-stop, "Sister, please have mercy on me and save my life. Please give me something to eat!"

Jiuer carefully held the exquisite brocade box in her hands and said softly, "These are Xiaolan's painting tools and paints. You must not eat them." As she spoke, she gently placed the brocade box on the table beside her.

When Huangfu Ling, who was standing next to him, heard this, the expectant expression on his face instantly dimmed, and there was obvious disappointment in his eyes.

At this moment, Sima Yanran came over with a smile and shouted excitedly: "Hey, second sister, look!" After that, she reached into the inner pocket of her thick fur coat and took out a bag of fragrant egg cakes.

Sima Yanran proudly shook the bag in her hand and continued to introduce: "This is not an ordinary cake, this is the Phoenix Seed Cake made by Madam Zhu herself! I heard that in our Jinzhou, this Phoenix Seed Cake is very popular! Many people are lining up to buy it."

However, Huangfu Ling had no interest in listening to her endless explanation. Her eyes were fixed on the bag of egg cakes, and she couldn't wait to reach out and take it. She didn't care about her ladylike image anymore. She opened her mouth and took a big bite, then began to devour it voraciously.

Seeing Huangfu Ling like this, Jiu'er couldn't help but frowned distressedly and hurriedly advised: "Hey, eat slowly, don't choke." Then she hurriedly turned to the maid behind her and ordered: "Douya, go and pour the young lady a cup of tea!"

Huangfu Ling, who was eating with great pleasure at this moment, had her mouth full and was mumbling incoherently, "Mammy warned me repeatedly not to use the toilet while I'm away from home this time, so since last night, I haven't dared to touch even a sip of water or a grain of rice."

Hearing this, Sima Yanran quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, second sister. Didn't your husband say that this is the Zhang Mansion? There aren't so many rules and taboos! Just eat as much as you want!"

Huangfu Ling said coquettishly, "You are the best to my second sister. Come, let me kiss you." As she spoke, she pouted her lips and pretended to kiss the other person.

Seeing this, Sima Yanran screamed mischievously: "Ahhh, I don't want to be kissed by that mouth that Zhang Jingwei kissed!" She shouted while covering her mouth with her hands, a playful expression on her face.

However, as soon as the words left her mouth, Huangfu Ling's face instantly turned red, like a ripe apple. Sima Yanran also realized that she had said such shameful words without thinking, and her face flushed as well. For a moment, both of them were at a loss, and the atmosphere became extremely awkward.

At this moment, Jiuer came over with a smile, blinked her big eyes and said, "Hehe, since second sister can't do it, then eldest sister hasn't been kissed yet, so let eldest sister kiss her first." After saying that, she made a face at Huangfu Ling and Sima Yanran.

After hearing this, Sima Yanran opened her mouth in surprise and asked in disbelief: "What? Big sister hasn't been kissed by that piece of wood yet?" Her eyes swept back and forth between Huangfu Ling and Jiuer, as if trying to find the answer from their expressions.

When Jiuer heard this, she immediately became unhappy. She stomped her feet and said angrily: "You little girl, what nonsense are you talking about! If you talk nonsense again, I will teach you a lesson!" As she said that, she raised her little hand and pretended to hit Sima Yanran.

The room was filled with laughter and joy. Several girls were chatting and joking with each other, like a flock of happy birds, chirping and making a lot of noise. The whole room was filled with a happy and warm atmosphere, which made people feel extremely happy.
