My elder sister forced me to become a concubine; I was reborn and remarried into the emperor's

The wedding was naturally not held in the palace. Pei Ji had his own Prince Su's Mansion, located on the street closest to the palace gate, which was built in an exceptionally grand and magnificent manner.

Pei Ji had never liked living in the Prince's mansion before, but now that there was a mistress in the mansion, it had come alive, and he was willing to move back in.

The golden sedan chair paraded around the main street of the capital, with servants scattering copper coins along the way. The capital was practically deserted that day, and everyone knew about the wedding.

Only the bride inside the sedan chair, her head covered by a veil, could not see anything.

The phoenix crown was so heavy that it made her head and neck ache and stiff. In addition, she hadn't slept well last night, so she was dragged out of bed early.

The sedan chair swayed comfortably, and listening to the lively sounds along the way, my eyelids couldn't help but feel heavy.

I didn't even realize when I closed my eyes or when I fell asleep.

Until the sound of the sedan chair hitting the ground and someone outside loudly chanting, "The wedding sedan chair has landed."

She suddenly realized she wasn't dreaming; she really was getting married!

The sedan curtain was lifted, and one end of a red silk was stuffed into her hand. An old woman helped her out of the sedan chair. She was still a little groggy from just waking up.

She only knew to follow the person beside her. He had long legs and took big strides. Usually, she would have to jog to keep up with him, but today he walked very slowly and steadily, waiting for her with every step.

Until they stepped over the brazier together and entered the main hall.

Empress Dowager Jiang sat at the head of the table, wearing a dark red robe that made her look particularly festive.

The emperor was supposed to come, but he had a cough when he woke up in the morning, so the empress dowager forbade him to leave the palace, fearing that he would fall ill again, as his body could not withstand any more neglect.

Besides, if the emperor were to arrive, would it be better for the Empress Dowager or the emperor to sit at the head of the table?

The noise around them was no less than that at the Wei family's residence. In fact, most of the people in the Prince's mansion were Pei Ji's subordinates or colleagues. Although they had brought their families, the voices of the military officers were so loud that they drowned out the women's voices.

The cheers, growing louder and louder with excitement, seemed to pierce the sky.

"Worship heaven and earth."

"Two thanks to the high hall."

"The husband and wife bow to each other and send them to the bridal chamber."

Wei Nanxun felt stiff all over. She knelt when the matchmaker told her to kneel and stood up when she was told to stand up. Because the phoenix crown was too heavy, she had to bow her head. When she finally bowed for the last time, her whole head was plunging down.

With a thud, it hit the man opposite her squarely on the forehead.

This elicited a low chuckle from him, which others might not have heard, but she heard it clearly.

His face flushed slightly without his noticing, and he hurriedly tried to stand up, but the edges of his phoenix crown got tangled in his hair again.

This drew laughter again: "The groom can't wait to see the bride."

This was the first time she had ever heard anyone dare to tease Pei Ji. Perhaps it was because the day was so festive, or perhaps he was in such a good mood, but he showed no displeasure whatsoever, and even chuckled softly.

For some reason, Wei Nanxun felt a tickle in her heart when she heard him laugh, and she really wanted to see what he looked like.

Unfortunately, her head was covered by a red veil, and everything was so red that nothing could be seen.

Fortunately, the tangled hair was untangled, and she held the red silk ribbon as he led her step by step into the bridal chamber.

The fire wall inside had been lit early on, and her favorite incense, a light and pleasant plum blossom scent, was also burned, which gradually calmed her tense nerves.

She sat down on the wedding bed, and soon a rod covered with gold leaf lifted the veil.

Having not seen light for so long, Wei Nanxun closed her eyes and adjusted for a while before opening them.

The room was lit with tall dragon and phoenix candles, decorated with red "double happiness" characters, and even the curtains and bedding were in festive red. Then look at the man in front of you.

He always wore dark-colored robes, which was related to his personality and his fighting spirit. He said that if a white robe was stained with blood, it would be too obvious, but even if a black robe was soaked in blood, it would not be noticeable.

But today, Pei Ji was dressed in a bright red wedding robe, his posture was upright and his face was as beautiful as jade, which made him look particularly energetic.

Moreover, his usually dark eyes seemed to have been warmed by the joyful expression, their deep gentleness captivating anyone who looked into them.

Fortunately, because of Pei Ji, no one dared to make a ruckus in the bridal chamber. Only the matchmaker saw Wei Nanxun under the red veil and exclaimed softly, "The princess is truly a fairy. Your Highness is so blessed."

He was unusually good-natured, and even smiled slightly before replying, "Yes, what a blessing."

His gaze was direct and intense, making her cheeks flush and feel like she was on fire.

"Please, Your Highness and Your Highness, have some nuptial wine."

The two men, without any hesitation, intertwined their arms and tilted their heads back to drink the wine in their cups.

No matter how rich and mellow the aroma of wine, it cannot compare to the intense love in a lover's eyes.

After drinking the wine, the matchmaker went forward and cut off a small lock of hair from each of them, intertwined them together, and put them in a brocade box under their pillows.

"Congratulations, Your Highness and Your Highness, on your marriage! May your love be unwavering."

It was still early, and Wei Nan was going to bathe and change. Pei Ji also had to go out to entertain the guests. Even though he didn't like these kinds of occasions, most of the people who came to the Prince's Mansion today to witness the ceremony were his close relatives who had come specifically to congratulate him, so it was always worth having a drink with them.

After Pei Ji left, Lü Fu and the others who had come with her went forward to help her to the washroom.

After removing the phoenix coronet and gold hairpins from her head and taking off the heavy wedding robe, she soaked in the bathtub and let out a comfortable sigh.

She survived. It seems that being a superior person isn't so easy. Just the weight of all that stuff made it hard for her to breathe.

She soaked comfortably for a long time, during which Green Lotus changed the hot water for her several times. After she had recovered from her fatigue, she got up and changed into soft and light nightgown.

I finally had the chance to take a look around the room.

As expected of a prince's bedroom, it was large and spacious, and she now knew where the faint plum blossom fragrance came from.

It wasn't that incense was lit, but rather that a small window was opened on the side, next to a large plum grove. No wonder the fragrance, though faint, lingered for a long time.

Wei Nanxun was not only sleepy, but also very hungry. Apart from having some rice porridge in the morning, she hadn't eaten anything else.

The bridal sedan arrived around noon. After the procession around the city and the completion of the ceremony, it was already dark, and her stomach was growling with hunger.

Just as she was about to ask if there was anything to eat, a kind old nanny had someone bring over bird's nest porridge: "Your Highness must be hungry, please eat something to fill your stomach."

Wei Nanxun was deeply moved, and only after asking did she learn that Pei Ji had specifically given the order before leaving.

He was so busy today, no less so than she was, yet he remembered even such a small thing. She felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

Perhaps I was too hungry, because after drinking bird's nest porridge and eating a few small snacks, I felt full and stopped eating.

Of the servants in the room, only Green Lotus remained; the others wisely withdrew.

The wait for him was long and embarrassing, especially when she saw the huge wedding bed in the inner room, her face remained flushed.

To calm herself down, Wei Nanxun took a book from the bookshelf in the warm pavilion to read.

-

Pei Ji was helped back by the brothers Ji Feng and Ji Yun. He seemed to be drunk, and his steps were unsteady.

The maidservant guarding the door immediately wanted to come forward and lend a hand when she saw the prince.

Before he could even reach out and touch Pei Ji, Pei Ji suddenly stood up straight and waved his hand.

Ji Feng was still somewhat puzzled: "Sir, are you alright?"

The prince never touches a drop of alcohol in the camp, so no one knows how much he can drink. When he waves his hand, they assume he really can't drink anymore.

After all these years, no one had ever seen the prince say no. Once he spoke, no one dared to make things difficult for him.

Ji Feng naturally believed that Pei Ji was drunk, but who would have thought that he would sober up as soon as he left the table.

There wasn't even a hint of alcohol in his eyes...

Seeing that her brother was still asking questions like a fool, Ji Yun couldn't stand it anymore and went forward to drag him away.

All they do all day is ask questions. If it weren't for the fact that the prince is in a good mood today, the few heads they've wasted wouldn't be enough for him to chop off.

Pei Ji dismissed everyone inside and outside the room before going around the screen to the inner room.

The candle flame had already burned a small section, and the fiery red candle wax piled up at the bottom, forming an embracing shape.

His little girl, clutching the book, fell asleep on the couch.

Pei Ji dared not make a sound, just staring at her face. He didn't tell her that when the veil was lifted, she was so beautiful that he forgot to blink.

This woman, so beautiful she seemed unreal, became his wife from that moment on.

The fire in Pei Ji's chest could erupt at any moment.

But he smells of alcohol all over him right now, so it's not good yet.

He rushed to the bathroom to shower and changed into a matching red nightgown. She was still sleeping soundly.

He originally wanted to wake her up directly, but when he heard her peaceful breathing, he couldn't bear to.

They have a long way to go.

When Wei Nanxun woke up, she didn't know what time it was. She only knew that there were still half of the wedding candles in the room, and then she realized that she had overslept.

I only meant to take a nap, but I actually fell asleep. This is terrible.

She instinctively tried to sit up, but an arm was placed across her chest, pressing her down and preventing her from moving.

Hmm, when did he get back?

As soon as Wei Nanxun turned to the side, she met those dark eyes. Had he been watching her the whole time, waiting for her to wake up?

Before she could speak, Pei Ji had already wrapped his arm around her waist and pressed himself against her.

All the forbearance and restraint he had endured over the past few days were released at this moment. She was now his wife, and there was nothing left for him to tolerate.

His lips bit hers with perfect precision. He was like a ball of fire, and she was like cotton that could be kneaded at will, burning her to ashes without leaving a trace.

He kissed her for a while, then quickly began to wander, showering her with kisses, like a dense rain falling on her neck, shoulders, and chest, blooming like plum blossoms.

Wei Nanxun was like a duckweed floating on the water, clinging to the last strand of root to avoid being swallowed by the waves.

The last thing she remembered was the bed curtains hanging high above her head, and she wanted to reach out and pull them down.

But just as her smooth, jade-like arm was raised and stretched out, her fingertips about to touch the golden hook, it was pulled back by another thick, honey-colored arm.

"Tent...tent..."

With a long reach, a light veil fell, enveloping the room in the colors of spring.

The candle wax accumulated heavily on the candlestick, and only then did the shadows reflected on the wall embrace and fall asleep.

Before falling into a deep sleep, Wei Nanxun's only thought was that men are indeed naturally gifted in this area.
