Shocking! Five men are in love with the same woman!

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was Lingyan's wedding day.

However, at the hour of Mao (5-7 AM), Lingyan was woken up by Yunmeng to start getting ready.

There were ten ladies in charge of this aspect alone, not to mention six ladies in charge of the wedding dress.

They also brought palace maids, nannies, and eunuchs, and the small room simply couldn't accommodate them all.

So everyone except the dressing lady waited in the courtyard.

When everyone saw Princess Rui's appearance, they were all stunned and stood there in amazement.

Such stunning beauty exists in the world!

No wonder Prince Rui couldn't live without her.

Such a person prompted the head matron to speak up for her, saying, "Is this how the masters and ladies of the mansion treat the Princess? They actually let her live in such a simple and shabby place, knowing full well that it is the Princess's wedding day, yet they still treat her with such disrespect!"

Ling Yan smiled but didn't say anything.

They had previously ignored her and left her to fend for herself.

But ever since their engagement was brought up again, they have offered to let her move to a different courtyard, but she refused.

Firstly, I felt that moving was too much trouble, and since I wouldn't be living there for more than a few months anyway.

Secondly, it was intentional; she simply refused to change, wanting everyone to know her situation.

So everyone in the room saw that the princess was silent and assumed she was sad, and they felt even more sorry for her.

I silently began to apply her makeup.

By the time the makeup was finished, it was already broad daylight.

The old man with ten perfections also started to comb her hair.

Finally, it's time to wear the wedding dress.

She wore the wedding dress for only fifteen minutes.

Finally, she finished dressing up, and it was almost time for the auspicious hour.

The bride is traditionally carried to the bridal sedan chair by her brothers, but Lingyan has no brothers and doesn't acknowledge her cousins.

So Prince Rui personally carried her onto the bridal sedan chair.

This sparked much discussion and speculation.

Lingyan's second uncle, second aunt, third uncle, third aunt, and their children's faces were as black as the bottom of a pot.

This is a blatant slap in their face.

But they were helpless and could only get furious.

Getting married in ancient times was a hassle, especially for a prince, who was also the only legitimate son. It was so complicated that she didn't even want to get married.

She had already told Prince Rui to reduce some procedures, but since he was a prince, even with the reductions, Lingyan was still exhausted to the point of despair.

Finally, the moment of the wedding ceremony arrived.

Lingyan listened to the lively scene in the hall and completed the wedding ceremony with Prince Rui.

She was then taken to her new home.

Yunmeng was already waiting in the room; the others were all from the Prince's mansion or the palace.

Lingyan was so tired that all she wanted to do was lie down.

Yunmeng understood, of course.

So he said to everyone, "We don't need so many people to serve us here. You can all go out first. I can serve you all by myself."

The others immediately wanted to leave after hearing this.

Only a pretty maid in the Empress's palace disagreed, saying, "What kind of status does the Princess Consort have? How can she leave only one person to serve her? We have come here by imperial decree, so naturally we must do our duty."

Ling Yan raised an eyebrow.

The Empress seems to harbor some hostility towards her.

Judging from the maid's tone and manner, it must be the Empress's intention.

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is truly a major problem throughout history.

However, she didn't care about the Empress's attitude.

If you can get along, then get along; if you can't, then don't.

So she called out, "Mu Feng."

Upon hearing this, Mu Feng emerged from the shadows and respectfully replied, "Mu Feng is here."

Ling Yan said calmly, "Please ask this maid to leave, and also tell the Prince to handle the aftermath of this matter properly."

Mu Feng immediately cupped his hands and replied, "Yes!"

He understood what the princess meant: he didn't want to involve her or cause her any trouble.

So he grabbed the still indignant maid and left.

The others also left in a hurry.

After Yunmeng closed the door, Lingyan lay down on the bed, looking weak and boneless.

After lying there for half an hour, she heard Yunmeng bowing and saying, "Greetings, General."

He Jingchuan has arrived.

She still didn't get up, but instructed Yunmeng to guard outside the door.

He Jingchuan looked at the woman in the bright red wedding dress and couldn't help but move closer to her.

He then approached her and cautiously asked, "May I see you?"

Lingyan refused, saying, "No, the veil cannot be lifted yet, and it is the groom's turn to lift it."

He Jingchuan lowered his eyes.

His fists were clenched tightly, and he said in a very soft voice, "Have you ever, even for a moment, truly cared for me?"

Ling Yan remained silent.

Sincerity? How could she possibly have such a thing?

She means it.

She was just really lusting after his and Prince Rui's bodies.

Her silence had made him completely give up his last shred of hope.

His heart was breaking, and he said in a weak, hoarse voice, "Your Highness is a very good person. You will be very happy if you marry him. From now on, I wish you a happy and fulfilling life. Farewell."

and many more.

What does he mean?

Should I break up with her?

Also.

She's already someone else's wife, so even if he still likes her, he won't have any more contact with her.

However, she was unwilling to part ways with him.

Because she would never give up the whole forest for one person, after all, she is the Queen of the Sea!

So she sat up abruptly and asked, "Don't you like me anymore?"

He Jingchuan quickly replied, "I like it, I like it very much."

The voice was firm and resolute.

Lingyan laughed, a very happy laugh, and said, "I understand what you mean, but I am not a person who is content with one person. I will not live with just one person. Naturally, I will have several. Men can have three wives and four concubines and can fall in love with one after another. Women can do the same. We are all human beings, so what is the difference?"

He Jingchuan had never heard such remarks before and was deeply shocked.

But then I realized she was right.

She continued, "So even if I get married, what's wrong with continuing to see you? Do you find that hard to accept?"

Although He Jingchuan agreed with her statement, he still shook his head and said, "I just can't get over my own conscience. I feel that I shouldn't lay a hand on someone else's wife, especially the wife of someone I consider a good friend."

Lingyan did not try to persuade him again.

She knew that his education was different from hers, and his values ​​were already formed; they weren't so easily changed.

So she said, "I won't force you. I'll wait for you to figure it out. But until you figure it out, you can't touch other women or have any romantic entanglements with them."

Yes, that's how she applies double standards.

She can touch other men, but they can't touch other women.

He Jingchuan smiled warmly and said, "Don't worry, my heart and body are already yours. My eyes and heart will only have room for you. How could I go looking for other women?"

Ling Yan was relieved and nodded slightly.

He Jingchuan looked at her one last time with lingering affection before turning and leaving.

By evening.

Prince Rui entered the room, slightly tipsy.

Following behind were a group of princes, members of the imperial family, and young masters from noble families.

They were all very curious about what kind of stunning beauty could make someone who had always been indifferent to love not only bring up the marriage agreement again but also reject the eight women arranged by the Empress for her sake.

And it only needs her.

So they all wanted to join in the wedding night festivities.

But how could Prince Rui let them succeed? So he brought up Emperor Jingzhao and successfully made everyone leave.

He then entered the new house, which was filled with a joyous atmosphere.

The entire scene was ablaze with the color red, a symbol of great joy. The floor was covered with lush carpet, and screens were set up on all sides. A pair of wedding candles, each about half a person's height, burned quietly.

His Yan'er was dressed in a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, with a red veil covering her head, sitting properly by the bed waiting for him.

Red petals adorned the wedding bed, emitting a faint floral fragrance, as if dyeing the entire room with a crimson glow.

He walked towards her step by step with a smile, and gently lifted the red veil.
