The news that the emperor personally left the palace to escort Yin Yin to her marriage was intentionally spread to the Liu family by Young Master Qi.

When they arrived at the Princess's residence and paid their respects to their parents, Lord Liu and his wife's satisfaction was so great that it was almost overflowing, not to mention Liu Cheng, who was newly appointed as the Prince's husband.

In the end, Eunuch Wu, who came to observe the ceremony on behalf of the emperor, glanced at the grinning Prince Consort and felt a pang of pity for no reason.

This man probably doesn't know that if he gets beaten by his wife in the future, as long as no one dies, even if he complains to the emperor, the emperor will only think that they are just joking around.

However, Eunuch Wu wouldn't go out of his way to remind him. Compared to Princess Shou Kang, what was a little pity for the Prince Consort?

Moreover, the princess has a truly good temper. Not only towards the emperor, she is also a very kind and gentle mistress to the servants around her.

If the prince consort manages to anger her to the point of violence, he can only blame himself for being so immature.

Yinyin had no idea what Eunuch Wu was thinking, and she didn't have time to think about it right now.

Because the banquet was held in the princess's mansion, the etiquette was quite different from that of an ordinary family getting married.

Yinyin doesn't have to sit in the bridal chamber waiting for Liu Cheng to come; instead, she can take him along to entertain high-ranking guests.

With several princes present today, and even the Crown Prince arriving after learning of the Emperor's departure from the palace, it would certainly be insufficient for Liu Cheng to entertain them alone.

Fortunately, although these people had many ideas, they were also sensible enough not to ask Yin Yin to make any choices at her wedding, so the happy occasion was relatively peaceful.

The reason for saying "it's alright" is that the crown prince was drunk.

He looked at Yinyin in front of him and insisted on toasting her: "It's a good thing that you've found your home now. If your mother is watching from heaven, she will surely be happy for you."

The Crown Prince offered a toast, and by all accounts, Yin Yin should drink it, but she had no intention of doing so.

If the late Empress were alive, she would probably not be happy. She would only regret why she hadn't fallen for his schemes or why she hadn't been moved by the Crown Prince and become his ally.

After all, the Emperor's favor towards Yin Yin is common knowledge in the court. In fact, in addition to favor, the Emperor has entrusted her with a level of trust that other princes, including the Crown Prince, have not been able to attain.

Yinyin glanced at the Crown Prince, holding her wine cup, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. However, I think Empress Yuan would only truly smile if she saw the current Crown Prince, after all, she was still working tirelessly for Your Highness during her final days."

The prince's eyes cleared for a moment as he met Yin Yin's gaze, but this was quickly masked by his drunkenness.

Apart from Yin Yin and Liu Cheng, who was paying close attention to Yin Yin's condition, no one else noticed that something was wrong with him.

Liu Cheng became wary and quickly asked the servant beside him, "How much did His Highness the Crown Prince drink to be so drunk?"

Before the attendants could speak, the eldest prince said, "The Crown Prince was just happy for his sister today and lost his composure for a moment. I'll look after him for you. You may continue on your way."

Yinyin quickly led Liu Cheng away. The eldest prince didn't stay long either. After saying goodbye to his other brothers, he helped the crown prince leave.

Once they were in the carriage and the curtains were drawn, the Crown Prince simply closed his eyes and rested to the side, and the First Prince was also at ease.

After the Crown Prince was escorted to the Eastern Palace, the First Prince came out again, sat in the carriage, and gave a mocking smile.

Yin Yin and the other girl didn't care about the Crown Prince and the First Prince's affairs. Today was their special day, and they didn't want to waste their energy on unimportant people.

After years of longing, Liu Cheng finally married the woman he loved, and his joy was beyond words.

When he woke up the next day, he saw the face of the person next to him that he had secretly sketched in his mind thousands of times, and Liu Cheng was unconsciously captivated by it.

When Yin Yin opened her eyes, she was met with a pair of eyes full of love.

Feeling his intense affection, Yin Yin couldn't help but smile: "Why are you staring at me like that?"

“Because you are beautiful, Princess,” Liu Cheng said without hesitation, “I would be willing to look at you for a lifetime.”

Yinyin gently nudged him: "What do you mean by a lifetime? I'm afraid you'll get tired of it in less than a year."

"Definitely not," Liu Cheng swore, hugging her tightly, and even offered to personally draw her eyebrows.

Yinyin couldn't persuade him otherwise, so she had to agree.

Liu Cheng went a step further and drew a pear blossom ornament on Yin Yin's forehead.

The young couple had a harmonious relationship, and everyone who served them was happy to wait by their side, not easily approaching to disturb them.

On the second day of their marriage, it was time to pay respects to the bride's parents-in-law, so Yinyin and her husband went to the Liu family home.

When the tea was served, Yinyin did not kneel, and Lord Liu and his wife accepted the teacup with smiles, giving her a greeting gift.

Liu Cheng's elder brother, sister-in-law, and younger brother's wife had met before, so they would simply exchange polite greetings now.

Yinyin was of high status and did not live in the Liu family's residence, so she could not possibly compete with her sisters-in-law for the right to manage the household. Therefore, everyone treated her with kindness and gentleness.

After visiting the Liu family, Yin Yin and the other girl returned to the Princess's residence and stayed there until the third day after the wedding before going out again.

The two first went to the Qi family, met Old Master Qi and his wife and Young Master Qi, and then offered incense to her parents.

After doing all this, before even offering them a meal, Yinyin took Liucheng into the palace.

Upon entering the palace, they arrived just as the ministers were coming out of the Xuan Shi Hall, where Liu Cheng's father and brothers were also present.

They saw Liu Cheng, but before they could get past the many ministers, Eunuch Wu went to Yin Yin's side first.

"Princess, Prince Consort, His Majesty summons you in."

Upon seeing Eunuch Wu, the Liu father and son stopped and simply nodded to him as a greeting.

Liu Cheng had rarely seen the emperor, so he was very reserved and stood in the hall, bowing respectfully.

Yinyin had no choice but to stop with him and give a curtsy: "Father."

The emperor nodded and called both of them to their feet. He spoke a few words to Liu Cheng first, and then said to Yin Yin in a more intimate tone, "You've come at just the right time. I just finished and was about to serve the meal."

Yinyin laughed and said, "This is no coincidence. I came at the exact time. I've been craving the imperial banquet here with Father."

"Have you eaten enough since you were a child?" The emperor pointed at her, but he wasn't angry. "Is there anything else you want to eat? Tell someone to make it right away, and we can still make it in time."

Yinyin didn't stand on ceremony and ordered two dishes.

When the emperor heard that this was not what Yin Yin used to like to eat, he guessed that it was Liu Cheng's preference. He glanced at Yin Yin with some displeasure and then ordered a few more dishes that Yin Yin liked to be served.

Yinyin quickly said, "Thank you for your kindness, Father."

The emperor gave a light hum and didn't make things difficult for them, only telling Yinyin to pay her respects to the empress before coming back.

I want to take advantage of Yinyin's absence to have a good talk with Liu Cheng.

The emperor must have thoroughly investigated Liu Cheng before agreeing to his marriage to Yin Yin. The reason he wants to speak to him alone now is only for Yin Yin's sake.

Yinyin was not ungrateful, so she left Liu Cheng to the emperor without hesitation.

Liu Cheng was extremely nervous and could only use the same caution he had shown in front of Young Master Qi to deal with this other "wicked father-in-law".
