A concubine? You're more like a joke. I'd rather send you to your death.

After a good night's sleep, Bai Luoluo was woken up by a room full of old women and maids just as dawn was breaking.

She should get up and wash and dress.

Bai Luoluo rubbed her eyes, feeling that getting married was truly exhausting.

She was like a puppet, surrounded by people who helped her wash, put on makeup, style her hair, and even put on the wedding dress that Gu Yanchi had personally sent her.

And so, it was already broad daylight, and the dazzling sunlight bathed every part of the earth. Bai Luoluo was dressed in her finest attire, and the only phoenix crown was placed on her head.

"Xiao Tao, I'm a little hungry."

"Please wait a moment, Miss. I will go and prepare breakfast for you right away."

After Xiao Tao left, the old woman from the Zhang household said upon seeing this, "The Princess Consort looks absolutely stunning in that outfit."

"Thank you for the compliment. Everyone who served you today will be rewarded."

Naturally, Bai Luoluo wanted to give these people money, as Xiao Tao had mentioned before.

If someone praises you, you have to give them the money.

"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Highness."

The old women and maids were all overjoyed.

"Go down and give them a reward; there's no need for anyone to serve them here."

Bai Luoluo said gently.

"Yes."

The old woman and maids all went out of the house.

Bai Luoluo reached out and rubbed her neck. This phoenix crown was too heavy. She felt uncomfortable in her neck and head. In ancient times, marriage required a wedding procession and a ceremony. After all that, would she still be able to keep her head?

Xiao Tao brought over breakfast, and Bai Luoluo ate a little.

Just then, Zhang Qingyang's voice came from outside.

"Luo'er is all ready. The prince's wedding procession has already arrived at the gate."

You could tell from Zhang Qingyang's voice that he was overjoyed.

"It's ready."

Bai Luoluo replied and put down the apple in her hand.

Xiao Tao quickly brought a veil and covered Bai Luoluo's head with it. "Miss, please be careful. I'll help you out."

"it is good."

Xiao Tao helped her walk step by step toward the main gate.

At this moment, Gu Yanchi was dressed in a bright red wedding robe, wearing a jade crown. The mask on his face was gone, replaced by a face as beautiful as jade, with a handsome appearance and noble air between his brows. His sharply defined features made him seem like a celestial being.

He sat upright on horseback, with the wedding procession behind him, long and orderly, clearly a grand affair.

"The appearance of the King of Xiling has actually been restored."

"As expected of our Xiling War God, his aura is too majestic."

"Miss Bai is so lucky. The prince's face is so handsome that it's hard to look away."

"You may not know this, but Miss Bai has also regained her beauty. I've heard she's absolutely stunning, like a fairy."

"In that case, the two are actually a good match. I always thought Miss Bai was ugly, but it was all the work of that concubine in the General's Mansion."

..........

Bai Luoluo was slowly helped out, surrounded by everyone in the Zhang household.

Upon seeing the person he had been longing for, a gentle light flashed across Gu Yanchi's cold face. He dismounted and came to Bai Luoluo's side.

"Luo'er, I've come to pick you up."

His tone was intimate, and his eyes were fixed on the person under the veil, as if everything around them had fallen silent.

"I've been waiting for you."

Bai Luoluo's lips curled up slightly, her face beneath the veil radiating a happy smile.

Gu Yanchi reached out and picked her up in his arms, his eyes full of love.

His face, which had been cold and stern just moments before, was now radiating happiness, making him look like a completely different person.

He said to Zhang Qingyang, "Grandfather, rest assured, I will take good care of Luo'er. I will respect her, love her, and pamper her for the rest of my life. I will never let her shed a single tear."

"Very well! From now on, Luo'er will be in Your Highness's care."

Zhang Qingyang's eyes were slightly red; his granddaughter had finally found a good home.

"Ah."

Gu Yanchi carried Bai Luoluo and leaped onto the horse's back, sitting down in front of him with her in his arms.

This action startled Bai Luoluo; shouldn't she be riding in a bridal sedan chair?

"Luo'er, I don't want to be separated from you, so let's skip the wedding sedan chair."

Gu Yanchi whispered in her ear.

"Today, I will do as you say."

Bai Luoluo's ears turned red; this man was teasing her all the time.

These words were quite pleasing to the ear. Gu Yanchi smiled slightly, spurred his horse on, and the horse instantly started moving forward.

"Get up the sedan."

The butler gave the order.

The onlookers were somewhat shocked to see Gu Yanchi doting on Bai Luoluo so much.

It's against custom for a bride to not ride in a bridal sedan chair at her wedding.

The grand procession, along with the dowry, slowly made its way through the bustling streets to the Xiling Prince's Mansion.

At this moment, the Emperor and Bai Hao had arrived at the Xiling Prince's Mansion. Court officials and some nobles from the capital came to witness the ceremony and offer their congratulations.

Because Bai Hao and Bai Luoluo's relationship had become somewhat strained, the Emperor specially decreed that he and the newlyweds should kneel and pay homage to each other.

Bai Hao understood the Emperor's good intentions, and he was deeply moved.

After all, Bai Luoluo didn't want to see him, and Bai Hao also knew that he had gone too far in the past.

It's true that he favored Zhang Yuyao and her daughter. At that moment, his heart may have truly turned away. Knowing he had been deceived and fooled, he felt remorseful. But some things cannot be made up for with just a few words.

Firecrackers went off, and a crowd gathered in front of the Xiling Prince's Mansion.

The red carpet stretched out to both sides of the road.

The horse stopped, and Gu Yanchi dismounted, holding Bai Luoluo in his arms and never putting her down.

“Achi, I can walk by myself.”

"Luo'er is my precious child. May I take care of everything for her along the way?"

Bai Luoluo smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"it is good."

Her voice was soft and gentle, completely different from her usual tone.

To Gu Yanchi, it was a fatal temptation.

With strong arms, he held the person in his arms tightly, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he strode into the gate of the Xiling Prince's Mansion.

The bright red wedding gowns were intertwined, swaying in the gentle breeze.

Some ministers were astonished as they watched Gu Yanchi carry the bride into the main hall.

"It seems our prince dotes on his princess."

"The two are a perfect match, both talented and beautiful."

"If the King of Xiling's face wasn't disfigured, then why was he wearing a mask before?"

.........

Where there are blessings, there are also jealousy.

Prime Minister Liu didn't want to come, but since the Emperor had come, how could he dare not come?

The sight of the newlyweds celebrating was particularly jarring.

His beloved daughter's life was ruined. He had hoped that Bai Luoluo would break off the engagement, or at least beg Bai Hao for consideration of the past. But he never expected that this bitch would be so heartless and cold-hearted, changing her mind so easily.

Now that the Prince of Xiling has married Bai Hao's daughter, the position of Crown Prince will surely be his for the taking.

No..........

He would never lose to that scoundrel Bai Hao; for so many years, he had been constantly outmatched.

The Emperor looked at Gu Yanchi's appearance, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He was not disfigured, and the face bore a five-tenths resemblance to him, while the other five-tenths resembled Consort Yun.

She is a complete combination of her parents.

At that moment, he couldn't describe how he felt.

He had thought a lot these past few days. Consort Yun was certainly at fault, but the child was innocent. He shouldn't have ignored the child for so many years and let him fend for himself.

Looking back now, I feel somewhat guilty, and even a little regretful.
