Gu Jinxuan carefully and gently placed Lin Qingxue on the extremely soft, cloud-like bed.

Then, he gently moved his body and sat naturally beside her along the edge of the bed. He stretched out his slender and warm palm and gently stroked Lin Qingxue's delicate cheek like mutton-fat jade.

His thumb was like a breeze caressing flower petals, gently caressing her delicate skin that was slightly flushed with shyness.

At this moment, Gu Jinxuan's eyes, as deep as the sea, were filled with deep affection and attachment to Lin Qingxue, as if they were the only two people left in the whole world.

"Qingxue..." Gu Jinxuan's voice was low and magnetic, as pleasant as the melodious sound of a cello.

"From today on, you and I are officially married. For the rest of our lives, no matter what hardships or obstacles we face, I will always be by your side and will never let you suffer even the slightest harm."

His words were firm and powerful, and every word sounded like a resounding oath. Lin Qingxue raised her head and looked straight at the man in front of her who made her heart beat fast.

Her eyes sparkled with crystal-clear tears, an expression of deep emotion. She nodded slightly, expressing her complete belief in what Gu Jinxuan said, and replied softly, "I believe you, Jinxuan. I wish to be with you forever, forever."

Just like that, the two of them stared at each other silently, as if time had frozen and stopped at this moment. Everything around them seemed to no longer be important, and only each other's figures were deeply imprinted in the depths of each other's hearts.

The air is filled with a unique atmosphere that is both sweet and slightly ambiguous, making people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.

I don’t know how much time has passed, maybe just a short moment, or maybe it has been a long time.

Finally, Gu Jinxuan slowly lowered his noble head, and his lips, like light feathers, gently fell on Lin Qingxue's smooth jade forehead.

That kiss contained endless cherishing and love, as if it wanted to engrave this deep affection forever in the long river of time.

Lin Qingxue's heartbeat involuntarily quickened. She closed her eyes slightly, feeling every gentle touch of Gu Jinxuan. Gu Jinxuan's kiss slowly moved down, passing over her eyebrows, nose tip, and finally landed on her lips.

This kiss was like a gentle spring breeze, slowly brushing across their lips, bringing endless tenderness and sweetness.

It is lingering and sad, like a silent poem, silently telling every moment since they met, those moments of laughter and hugging, flashing before their eyes like movie scenes.

At this moment, the room was as quiet as a peaceful painting. Apart from the slight rustling sound of the leaves in the breeze outside the window, there was no other noise.

The rustling sound is like a sweet melody composed by nature specially for the happy newlyweds, gently singing the melody of love and adding a special warm atmosphere to this romantic kiss.

During this loving kiss, Lin Qingxue's hands seemed to be pulled by some mysterious force and involuntarily climbed onto Gu Jinxuan's broad and solid shoulders.

She tilted her head slightly, her beautiful eyes half closed, responding to his deep and intense emotions with her actions.

The breathing of the two people gradually blended together, forming a unique rhythm, sometimes slow and sometimes fast, like the rhythm of a heartbeat.

At this moment, time seemed to have stopped flowing and became meaningless. The whole world seemed to be left behind by them. All that was left in their eyes was each other's affectionate gaze and the blazing love that surrounded them like a burning flame.

The night passed quickly, and when the dawn light just broke through the clouds and the sky was not yet completely bright, Lin Qingxue slowly woke up. She gently moved her slightly stiff and slightly sore body, as if she was afraid of disturbing Gu Jinxuan who was still sleeping beside her.

She slowly raised her head, her eyes falling on that handsome yet somewhat childish face. Looking at him sleeping quietly, Lin Qingxue couldn't help but smile helplessly.

Lin Qingxue moved her body carefully, thinking about how to get up and dress quietly without disturbing Gu Jinxuan.

However, just as she was about to move, Gu Jinxuan, who was originally asleep, suddenly opened his eyes. He first looked out the window and saw that it was already bright outside, and the sunlight was shining into the house through the thin window paper.

Then, Gu Jinxuan lowered his head, looked at Lin Qingxue in his arms tenderly, and said softly, "It's getting late. We should go to Dongyang Garden to offer tea to our father and mother. Qingxue, let's get up."

"Well, okay." Hearing Gu Jinxuan's words, Lin Qingxue nodded without hesitation. After responding, she called the maid to come in and serve her.

Soon, several well-trained maids came in one after another. They swiftly helped Lin Qingxue and Gu Jinxuan make their beds, and then helped them change into the gorgeous and exquisite attire of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess respectively.

After everything was ready, Lin Qingxue and Gu Jinxuan walked out of their own yard hand in hand, and walked slowly towards Dongyang Garden side by side. Along the way, the two smiled at each other from time to time, and their deep affection was beyond words.

Dongyang Garden is the courtyard where the Duke of Huguo and Princess Anyang live. It is located a full six courtyards away from Gu Jinxuan's Xuanxue Garden.

These six courtyards are the residences of the third generation of the Gu family. For example, Gu Huaiyuan and others have their own courtyards here.

It is worth mentioning that now even the courtyards of the sisters Lin Xiaoya and Lin Xiaowan are included in it.

Such a layout makes this area a lively and bustling place. Each courtyard has its own unique style and characteristics, some quiet and elegant, some magnificent, showing the different tastes and personalities of the owners.

Not long after, the couple arrived at Dongyang Garden. From a distance, they could hear the noise coming from the house.

If you listen carefully, you can hear the hearty laughter of Gu Jinyu and his wife, as well as the energetic shouts of several young people such as Gu Huaiyuan.

When Gu Jinxuan and Lin Qingxue just stepped into the gate of Dongyang Garden, the originally slightly vague laughter and joy suddenly became clear and audible.

Gu Huaiyuan had very good eyesight. He was the first to notice the two people at the door and immediately shouted excitedly, "Daddy, Mommy, you're finally here!"

As he shouted, everyone in the room turned their eyes to the door at the same time, and their gazes were filled with enthusiasm and joy.

At this time, the Duke of Huguo and Princess Anyang were sitting upright in the main seats, both of them with happy and kind smiles on their faces.

Seeing Gu Jinxuan and Lin Qingxue already entered the house, Princess Anyang waved to them and called out affectionately, "Come quickly, Qingxue, Jinxuan, we've been waiting for you."

Hearing this, Gu Jinxuan and Lin Qingxue did not dare to delay and hurriedly quickened their pace and walked forward. When they got close, they respectfully performed a standard salute to the Duke of Huguo and Princess Anyang.

After the ceremony, a smart maidservant quickly presented two cups of steaming hot and fragrant new tea.

Gu Jinxuan and Lin Qingxue carefully, gently and steadily picked up the exquisite teacup, then knelt respectfully in front of the Duke of Huguo and Princess Anyang.

Gu Jinxuan raised his head slightly, looking ahead with a sincere and determined gaze. He spoke first, "Father, Mother, today Qingxue and I are here to offer you tea. We sincerely wish you good health and a long and prosperous life."

His voice was deep and powerful, filled with deep respect and love for his parents. Lin Qingxue beside him followed suit and said softly, "I greet my parents-in-law. From now on, I will do my utmost to be filial to them and serve them respectfully, without even the slightest slackness."

Her words were gentle and graceful, as sweet as the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley, which made people like her.

At this time, the smile on the Duke of Protector's face became brighter and brighter, his eyes full of satisfaction. After nodding with satisfaction, he slowly stretched out his right hand to take the teacup, first gently blew away the heat on the surface, and then carefully took a sip.

After putting down the teacup, he pulled out a red envelope he had prepared long ago from his pocket, handed it to Gu Jinxuan solemnly, and earnestly instructed: "Jinxuan, now that you have established a family and a career, as a man, you must shoulder the responsibility of the family in the future. Work hand in hand with Qingxue, support each other, and work together to run your little family well."

At the same time, Princess Anyang smiled and lovingly took Lin Qingxue's hand, gently stuffing the heavy red envelope into her hand. She said in a kind tone, "Qingxue, since you have married into our Gu family, you are like my own daughter from now on. If you suffer any grievances in the future, you must tell me, and don't keep it in your heart."

After saying this, he gently patted the back of Lin Qingxue's hand to comfort her. When Lin Qingxue heard this, her eyes suddenly became moist and an indescribable emotion surged in her heart.

She raised her head and looked at Princess Anyang with gratitude, her eyes slightly red, and she responded with emotion: "Thank you, mother. I will remember it."

After the tea ceremony, everyone present took their seats in order of status. The Duke of Huguo and Princess Anyang sat in the seats of honor, with Gu Jinxuan and his wife and Gu Jinyu and his wife sitting on their left and right respectively, and their children sat next to them.

Gu Jinyu had a playful smile on his face. His eyes fell on his eldest brother and he said teasingly, "Oh, brother, ever since you got your sister-in-law, you've been smiling more and more! You've become much more approachable. You're not like before, always cold and stern, as if someone owed you money."

Hearing this, the Duke of Huguo couldn't help but burst into laughter. He looked at his eldest son, his eyes filled with satisfaction, and nodded in agreement, "Haha, our Jinyu is still very observant! Now Jinxuan is indeed more worldly than before, and no longer so aloof."

At this moment, Princess Anyang's face was also filled with joy, and she smiled from ear to ear. She said with great joy, "Great! Now Jinxuan has started a family and established a career. As a mother, I am so happy! I just hope that you two brothers can quickly give me a few more grandchildren, so that our Protectorate Mansion will be bustling with children's laughter and joy. Feel free to have as many children as you want. Our mansion is big. Even if you have ten or eight more, we can definitely accommodate them and support them!"

As she spoke, Princess Anyang seemed to have imagined a room full of cute little babies surrounding her, calling her "Grandma" in their baby voices, and her heart was filled with joy.

Gu Jinxuan and Gu Jinyu smiled at each other, then responded in unison, "Mother, just wait and see, we will definitely work hard!"

Hearing this, Lin Qingxue's snow-white face instantly flushed with shyness, as beautiful as the first blooming peach blossoms in spring.

Princess Lin on the side was even more shy. Her big watery eyes were rolling around like a frightened deer, and she didn't dare to look at the crowd. She looked so adorable.

For a moment, the house was filled with a warm and cheerful atmosphere, as if even the air was filled with the scent of happiness.

At this moment, a lively and cute figure came to Lin Qingxue's side, jumping like a little rabbit.

It turned out to be the little girl Gu Huaining. She held Lin Qingxue's hand tightly, raised her delicate little face, and asked with a smile: "Mom, can you see how good I am dressed today? I have been dressing up carefully for a long time just to see you!"

Lin Qingxue looked at her well-behaved and lovely daughter in front of her, and couldn't help feeling warm and fond in her heart.

She smiled and reached out her hand to gently stroke Gu Huaining's hair, saying softly, "Our Huaining is getting more and more beautiful. She's like a fairy that fell from the sky!"

When Gu Huaining heard this, he immediately smiled from ear to ear, and his bright big eyes narrowed into a curved slit because of joy. He looked extremely happy.

At this moment, the tables next to everyone were filled with all kinds of exquisite and delicious snacks. They were tasting the delicious cakes while leisurely chatting about family matters.

During this period, Princess Anyang asked Lin Qingxue with concern what daily necessities were missing in the yard. If there was anything that needed to be purchased, she could directly tell the housekeeper to go and get it; if she was not satisfied with the furnishings in the house, she could rearrange it according to her own preferences.

Faced with Princess Anyang's meticulous care, Lin Qingxue hurriedly stood up to express her gratitude, her words full of humility, and expressed her deep gratitude.

At the same time, the Duke of Protectorate also interrupted from time to time. He earnestly advised his son Gu Jinxuan to be careful with his words and actions in the court, to get along well with his colleagues, and to help each other.
