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

At this moment, Leng Feng, Leng Ye, and Xiao Tao stood in the main courtyard, none of them looking too good.

Xiao Tao's cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at anyone.

Leng Feng and Leng Ye felt even more awkward, after all, they were martial artists and their hearing was better than that of ordinary people.

Eunuch Yuan came to find Gu Yanchi, after all, the Emperor was still waiting.

"Please return, Eunuch Yuan. Our Prince and Princess have already retired for the night."

Leng Feng stood in front of the main gate of the courtyard, holding his sword, and said.

For a moment, Eunuch Yuan was somewhat surprised, and he looked in the direction of the room.

Moreover, he vaguely heard...

This... Your Highness is too impatient.

He turned and left, whispering a few words in the emperor's ear.

Upon hearing this, the emperor's lips twitched slightly.

This kid is really something... all the civil and military officials are waiting for him.

Seeing this, the emperor could not punish him. After all, it is inevitable for young people to be impulsive, especially when facing the person they love. It is normal for them to lose control for a moment.

"General Bai, please have a few more drinks with me today."

"I haven't been this happy in a long time, so of course I must drink with Your Majesty."

Bai Hao held up his wine glass.

"Alright, let's drink until we drop tonight!"

The emperor raised a cup to drink with him.

The other ministers naturally spoke in hushed tones, all waiting for Gu Yanchi to arrive.

But the meal was almost finished, and the groom still hadn't shown up.

The ministers discussed among themselves, but none dared to question them.

Prime Minister Liu's eyes were cold; how could someone so ignorant of manners be worthy of the future position of Crown Prince?

The eldest prince, the second prince, and the eldest princess remained silent, each harboring their own thoughts.

The Second Prince, Gu Yanche, looked at him with a mixture of sarcasm and bewilderment.

He was intoxicated by her tenderness; I thought he was a cold and aloof person, but I never expected him to be such a romantic.

Now that the Emperor is here, he actually didn't come. He's really taking advantage of the Emperor's favor and showing absolutely no sense of etiquette.

No wonder he's a bastard raised outside.

Now that the third brother is gone, his biggest enemy is the fifth brother. He's really lucky to have married Bai Luoluo, who's such a helpful person.

The eldest princess watched as the emperor chatted and laughed with Bai Hao. She had always had a good relationship with the empress. Now that the third prince was imprisoned, the most likely candidate to become the crown prince was the Prince of Xiling.

She used to look down on it, but now she has no choice but to come.

The eldest prince, Gu Yanmo, had no other thoughts; he was simply waiting for Gu Yanchi to come and have a drink with him.

"What is Fifth Brother doing? Why isn't he coming out yet?"

Gu Yanmo looked puzzled and took a sip of his wine.

On such a joyous day, it is a time for brothers to drink together.

"My fifth brother has never valued etiquette, so I suppose he won't be coming."

Gu Yanche emphasized the word "etiquette" heavily, intending to tell the ministers that Gu Yanchi did not understand hierarchy or etiquette, and that he did not even come out when the Emperor was present. It was clear that such a person was not suitable for the position of Crown Prince.

As for Gu Yanchi, he disliked the emperor, had little interaction with the other ministers, and had no brotherly affection for them. He felt that spending time with his wife was more important than formalities.

"Second brother, be careful what you say. Fifth brother may have been delayed by something."

Gu Yanmo said unhappily.

With the Emperor here, it's impossible for the Fifth Prince not to come.

After all, he had been married to a principal wife before, so he knew he needed to comfort the bride in the bridal chamber, say some intimate words, and there were also some procedures to follow.

The eldest prince's wife died during childbirth, and the eldest prince never married a principal wife again. He had several concubines in his household, who were bestowed upon him by the empress.

"Fifth brother may have already rested with his wife. Eldest brother, you should keep an eye on things."

Gu Yanche's eyes held a smile, as if he were joking.

The eldest prince fell silent.

The wedding banquet finally ended when the emperor got drunk.

Many people said behind his back that Gu Yanchi was not polite, and some even said that his achievements overshadowed the emperor and that he did not respect the emperor at all.

.........

The moonlight shone with a faint white glow, the stars were somewhat dim, and occasionally dark clouds would obscure the moon.

Xiao Tao and Leng Ye didn't rest all night, constantly sending water into the bridal chamber.

Until dawn, the newlyweds in the bridal chamber remained silent.

Leng Feng blinked and couldn't help but mutter that his lord's stamina was truly remarkable.

"Xiao Tao, go and take a nap. Your Highness, the Princess Consort will not need your service for the time being."

Leng Ye felt sorry for her. After all, Xiao Tao was thin and weak and didn't know martial arts. It was inevitable that she would be a little exhausted after not sleeping all night.

But there was nothing they could do; Xiao Tao was the only maid in the Prince's mansion.

"I'm not tired yet, thank you for your kindness, Brother Ye."

Xiao Tao refused; she was genuinely worried about her young mistress.

The prince went too far; that whole night...

“If you don’t go to sleep now, the princess might get up and need your service. She might worry if she sees that you don’t look well. Go to sleep for a while. I’ll call you if anything happens here.”

Seeing that she looked unwell, Leng Ye offered some words of advice.

"Go and rest, or someone will feel sorry for you."

At this moment, Leng Feng joked.

Xiao Tao's cheeks flushed slightly. "Okay, I'm going to rest. Remember to call me if you need anything."

"Well, let's go."

Leng Ye urged.

"Hey bro, when did this happen?"

Leng Feng leaned closer and asked.

"Stop talking nonsense. Little Peach is frail. If she were to fall ill, who would take care of the Princess?"

"Don't give me that. Someone as rough and uncultured as you would think of such things."

Cold Wind clearly didn't believe it.

"Alright, stop joking around. Little Peach is still young, you'll embarrass her if you do that."

After Leng Ye finished speaking, she didn't want to pay attention to him anymore and leaned against the tree trunk next to her, half-closing her eyes.

Seeing his reaction, Leng Feng stopped asking questions.

If you like someone, just say so. He's not blind; he's not hiding anything.

..........

Under the blazing sun, Bai Luoluo slowly woke up, but when she moved her body, she felt pain all over.

She opened her eyes and met Gu Yanchi's burning gaze, and her whole body trembled.

Sure enough, people with martial arts skills in ancient times were different. In the past, when she read novels, she always felt that the stories of several days and nights were unrealistic, but now she truly experienced it for herself.

"My wife..."

Gu Yanchi called out softly.

"My husband, we have a long future ahead of us."

Bai Luoluo clearly sensed his change and implied that he should pay attention to his health.

Some things can't last forever; her small frame couldn't possibly withstand that.

"My wife...can you please take care of your husband?"

Gu Yanchi's tone was full of coquetry and seeking favor.

-

Bai Luoluo was on the verge of tears. Could someone tell her that all men who had tasted the forbidden fruit were like this…?

"My husband, some things are best done in moderation. You must take care of your health."

"Thank you for your concern, my wife. I am in very good health."

"don't want ..........."

"Sweetie, help me........."

Looking at the pitiful little wolfhound, how could Bai Luoluo refuse?

............

When Bai Luoluo opened her eyes again, it was already evening. She was a little hungry, and the man beside her was nowhere to be seen.

She got up, feeling weak and powerless.

Why does someone who is usually aloof and detached suddenly turn into a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey?

Just as she was about to get out of bed, the door was pushed open.
