The emperor's expression was unpredictable, and there was a poisonous snake hiding in his palace.

The emperor appeased Princess Jingyang with a bunch of rewards. She was in a bad mood and stopped going to the harem. She felt unsafe anywhere and ordered the secret guards to investigate the matter as soon as possible.

Princess Jingyang knew not to stop while she was ahead and said goodbye with tears in her eyes. She went back to find someone to make her wedding dress. There was less than a month left and she didn't know if it would be too late.

The secret guard was quite capable and had the poison pointing to Bei Si, so he quickly found evidence that Ruo Chang was poisoning.

The emperor was furious and even more frightened. If she always held a grudge against Rong Yan for destroying her country, then wouldn't he, as the person who gave the order, also be on her revenge list?

He suddenly remembered the special happiness he had felt when he was there during this period, and immediately summoned the imperial physician.

The imperial physician carefully felt his pulse and discovered that he had been indulging in excessive sexual activities recently, causing his body to be severely depleted. He then vaguely told him that if he continued to use strong and toxic drugs, it would drain his body over time, and he might even die of exhaustion. Fortunately, the discovery was made early, and he could recover by abstaining from sexual desires for a while.

The emperor ordered that all the Beisi people in the palace be beaten to death and forced Ruo Changzai to watch the execution. After a wave of purges, Ruo Changzai had gone mad and bumped into the guards' swords and died with them.

In the end, the emperor had their bodies thrown into a mass grave to feed the dogs without a trace of mercy.

After venting his anger, the emperor thought of his sister, so he added more dowry to An Yan and wanted to give them the wedding clothes he and the queen wore when they got married in the palace. However, Princess Jingyang politely declined and made an excuse that she could not overstep the boundaries.

What a joke! Who would wear someone else's wedding dress? They're not a loving couple, it's really bad luck!

Princess Jingyang found a few more ready-made clothing stores to work together. She wanted to make a few more wedding dresses for An Yan to choose from, and she could change one every hour. It didn't matter if there were too many clothes, and there couldn't be any more mistakes.

The divorce period was only three days, so An Yan went to the house she had prepared in advance to prepare for her marriage.

According to custom, the couple couldn't see each other before the wedding, but how could the loving couple endure not seeing each other for so long? So Rong Yan quietly climbed over the wall, sent the servants away, and sat in the courtyard with An Yan, watching the stars and the moon.

The night sky in ancient times was clear and the stars were exceptionally bright. They just embraced each other quietly, enjoying the tranquility that belonged only to them.

On the wedding day, An Yan dressed up and waited in the house expectantly.

The soldiers in the barracks were all invited to their wedding, acting as Anyan's family members. They were all trying their best to block the door. They did push-ups and wheel-to-wheel exercises.

We finally have a chance to watch Rong Yan in broad daylight, how could we not seize the opportunity?

Rong Yan finally reached the door after overcoming many obstacles. He said loudly, "Yan Yan, I'm here to pick you up!"

The door opened, and An Yan stood in front of him with the support of her maid. Rong Yan's Adam's apple moved, and he reached out to hold her hand.

The matchmaker quickly said, "Oh, the bride's feet can't touch the ground. She has to be carried out of the house by her brother."

The soldiers were eager to take action and raised their hands enthusiastically, "Me, me, me! I'll carry it!"

Rong Yan glared at them and said, "No need!" Then, amid the exclamations of the crowd, he picked up An Yan and carried her sideways, running away with her in his arms. "Let's go! Let's take the bride home!"

Although it was against the rules, the person had already left the house, and the matchmaker had no choice but to follow!

The gongs and drums were blaring, and firecrackers were blasting. Rong Yan rode a tall horse in front to lead the way, while An Yan sat in a stable sedan chair carried by eight people, followed by a long dowry team.

In addition to the dowry bestowed by the emperor and the rewards from the palace, An Yan's dowry also included contributions from ladies of various families, all of which were full of sincerity.

Princess Jingyang took into consideration that the Crown Princess's dowry back then was only 128 sets, and that it would be better for them to keep a low profile since they were at the center of the controversy. It was really unfair to her Yanyan.

So they enlarged the trousseau chests and stuffed each one completely full. When there was still more stuff than could fit, they hired a carriage to carry it, so that the total would not exceed the limit.

The sedan chair circled the capital and returned to the palace at an auspicious time.

After Rong Yan was crowned king, he was given a palace. However, he had previously lived in the general's mansion with Princess Jingyang. After the marriage, she let the young couple live separately. She didn't want to be the kind of evil mother-in-law who stood between the newlyweds. She was still waiting to hold her grandson!

This wedding could not be kept low-key. Not long after the bride arrived, people came from the palace. The sedan chair stopped and it was the emperor who got out. This made everyone envious. This was the supreme honor!

The Emperor personally attended the wedding and took the seat of the Grand Princess, with Princess Jingyang sitting on either side. She thought to herself, "Luckily the Queen didn't come, otherwise she would have had to give up her seat. As the only legitimate grand princess, it would have been so uncomfortable if she couldn't accept the etiquette!" Fortunately, fortunately!

"First bow to heaven and earth!... Second bow to parents!... Husband and wife bow to each other! The ceremony is complete!"

Before being sent to the bridal chamber, the emperor cleared his throat and said a few words of blessing. Then the eunuch called out the names of the gifts. It was a very long list, including a pair of jade pendants with auspicious dragons and phoenixes, a pair of gold and jade ruyi, a flower with a pomegranate pattern and the character for "happiness" inlaid with kingfisher feathers, and so on.

The emperor was quite generous. Their wedding was just a way to fleece him. He granted the marriage once, gave him the dowry once, and the wedding dress incident once, and now he did it again today. An Yan, under the veil, was grinning from ear to ear.

Princess Jingyang passed on the jade bracelet that Rong's ancestor had passed down to her new daughter-in-law, blinked her big eyes, and said kindly that she didn't need to rush to pay her respects early tomorrow morning, which made both of them blush.

When the night is deep and the noise has died down, the candles in the bridal chamber remain burning all night long, as bright as ever.

One morning five years later, Rong Yan and Anyan brought their two three-year-old children to the General's Mansion to visit Princess Jingyang.

Originally, An Yan was pregnant with a single baby, but Tuanzi chose to join this big family, so she gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl.

When the twins, a boy and a girl, were born, Princess Jingyang was so happy that she couldn't help herself. She held back the urge to cry. After seeing the appearance of the two children, she couldn't wait to go to the ancestral hall to share the good news with the late General Rong.

Everyone thought this was a sign of good fortune. When the emperor learned of this, he not only sent them rewards but also gave them the names Huai'an and Huaining, using the character "Huai" (Huai) used for his grandchildren. He also appointed Huai'an as the crown prince and Huaining as the princess of a county.

Princess Jingyang pouted, thinking that her royal brother was really going too far by directly snatching away the naming rights of her grandchildren. However, considering that he was so generous, she did not bother with him.

The nicknames of the two children were thought of by everyone together, Tuantuan and Yuanyuan.

The thing that makes Princess Jingyang happiest is taking Tuantuanyuan into the palace to sweep the palace and receive gifts, which makes everyone in the palace love and feel distressed.

Ever since the one-year-old baby's first birthday, Tuantuan grabbed a bunch of jade pendants and Yuanyuan collected gold ingots and jewelry. Everyone knows these two kids love money! During festivals and everyday gifts are always gold, silver, and jewelry.

Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan were both wearing delicate little clothes, dressed like two little fairies, holding hands, with Anyan and Rong Yan holding hands on either side of them. The family outfit of four made Princess Jingyang, who couldn't wait to go out to greet them, tear up with tears in her eyes. She looked so happy.

"Grandma!" the two children called sweetly.

"Hey! Grandma's two little darlings!" Princess Jingyang squatted down, hugged them, and kissed each of them. "Grandma has had someone prepare your favorite dishes today. Let's go!"

"Mom, where are ours?"

Princess Jingyang glared at him coquettishly, "How could you be missing out on food!" Then she changed her tone to a gentle one, "Come quickly, Yanyan. We have a big dish today. It's said to be a giant fish from the sea, very rare. Come and try it later!"

The joy of family, casual chats, simple and warm.
