Forced to be a concubine? I turned around and married the scumbag's father.

October 10th.

Starting at noon, a long row of banquet tables was set up on the main street in front of the Yongwang Mansion.

Anyone can sit at the table and enjoy the food.

At this moment, it was already bustling and lively.

People came and went at the main gate in an endless stream, bringing gifts and congratulations.

The hour of Wei (1-3 PM) is an auspicious time.

Thirty tables were set up in the Yongwang Mansion, and all the generals of the Mu family army above the rank of captain were present.

Meanwhile, banquets were also set up in the Mu family army's camps, and the entire Mu family army celebrated this auspicious day together.

Gu Hua, dressed in a magnificent royal court dress, received the homage together with Mu Junyan.

The twins, a boy and a girl, were also dressed in bright red formal attire and were being held by their nanny as they received everyone's congratulations.

Mu Chen and Mu Xi were full of energy, and they greeted everyone with enthusiastic gestures and cheerful chatter.

The wet nurse couldn't hold them anymore, so she had to hand them over to Chi Yu and Zhou Chunyu to hold, so everyone could see how happy they were.

After going around once, the two little ones' clothes were stuffed with all sorts of red envelopes and gifts, and the two little ones became more and more excited.

After the worship ceremony, the wedding ceremony of the prince and princess began.

This wedding was conducted according to the customs of southern Xinjiang.

After a period of commotion, it was already past 7 PM.

Gu Hua looked tired, and Mu Junyan noticed that her eyes were starting to droop.

Gu Hua finally heard the words "the ceremony is over," and she was helped by her maids to walk towards the inner courtyard.

Once inside the courtyard, Gu Hua breathed a sigh of relief: "You all go and eat at the banquet, I'll take my time to get back."

"That won't do. We'll be drinking the nuptial wine in the bridal chamber."

Donghua smiled.

Gu Hua exclaimed, "Ah? We still have to drink the nuptial wine?"

"Yes, His Highness ordered the complete set."

Gu Hua sighed.

Mu Junyan is so good to her, but it's exhausting.

"tired?"

Mu Junyan's deep voice came from behind her.

Gu Hua turned around and gave a muffled "hmm".

October nights are inherently hot and humid, and Gu Hua, dressed in heavy clothes, started sweating after just a few steps.

"Shall I carry you away?"

Gu Hua glanced at him, seemingly annoyed but not truly annoyed, and remained silent.

Mu Junyan gave a normal "hmm".

He slipped one hand under Gu Hua's knees and wrapped the other around her waist, gently lifting her up.

Night fell, and the city lights began to twinkle.

Mu Junyan carried Gu Hua as they walked inside. There were many female guests coming and going in the inner courtyard. Everyone saw this and couldn't help but envy the Prince Yong's deep affection and care for his princess.

Gu Hua wrapped her arms around his neck, looked at his stern face, and scoffed.

Only she knew how outrageous Mu Junyan was beneath his gentlemanly facade.

Gu Hua secretly pinched his neck.

Mu Junyan felt a slight pain and frowned.

He glanced at the beautiful woman in his arms and whispered soothingly, "We'll be there soon, just bear with it."

As he spoke, he lifted the person up slightly and said in a serious tone, "You're too heavy."

Gu Hua looked mournful.

When they arrived at the main house, Donghua and Dongqing had already run ahead and prepared the bath water in the washroom.

Mu Junyan glanced at the misty bathroom: "Donghua and the other two are getting smarter and smarter."

Gu Hua turned her head to look, her face immediately turned red, and she pinched the back of his neck again.

Then she obediently let him carry her into the inner room.

Mu Junyan entered the room, gently placed the person on the soft couch, and then pressed down on him to begin kissing.

Gu Hua was a little scared at this moment. While dealing with his kisses, she frantically tried to block his hands.

Mu Junyan looked up and met a pair of watery eyes that stared at him weakly and delicately.

Gu Hua quickly took advantage of the opening to push the person away and hurried to the washroom.

Mu Junyan watched her retreating figure and let out a soft chuckle.

Dongmo, who had been following at a distance, quickly reached the door and poked his head in: "My lord, shall we take a bath?"

Mu Junyan looked at him coldly: "You are far inferior to Donghua and the others."

Dongmo froze, then quickly shrank back to prepare for her bath.

Gu Hua has fully recovered, and the room is now furnished with an ice chest, making it very comfortable.

After taking a bath, Gu Hua's face felt even hotter, turning bright red.

She glanced at Mu Junyan, who had already finished bathing and was reclining on the soft couch, her eyes filled with resentment.

He secretly berated himself for being useless.

She was becoming increasingly unable to resist him; one kiss was enough to make her weak in the knees.

Gu Hua felt a little annoyed. She straightened her clothes and walked over while wringing out a towel to dry her hair.

Mu Junyan stood up, took the cloth from her hand, and wiped her hair.

Gu Hua glanced at the newly made bed, which was covered with red dates, longans, and other treats.

She felt a sweet warmth in her heart, but said aloud, "This is the second time, why bother with all this effort?"

"Of course you should. You deserve it."

Mu Junyan leaned down and whispered in his ear, "We should drink the nuptial wine too."

The redness that had just faded on Gu Hua's face returned.

She quickly pushed him away, saying, "It's so hot, let me rest."

Mu Junyan smiled and said, "It just so happens that Third Master Pei sent over a basket of lychees. Yi Niang is the best at making lychee drinks, so I specially made a bowl for you."

"Really? Bring it up quickly."

Gu Hua was overjoyed.

Donghua smiled and served the lychee drink in a jade bowl, which was still chilled.

"Don't drink too much, it's too cold."

"Ah."

Gu Hua took it, and the cool touch calmed her anger considerably.

He drank it in small sips, one spoonful at a time.

Mu Junyan rested his chin on his hand and looked at her.

In the past, I would only let her have a sip or two of these chilled drinks, but on this joyous occasion, she was also quite hot, so I indulged her a little.

"That's five mouths."

Seeing that she wanted to drink it all, Mu Junyan couldn't help but remind her.

Gu Hua ignored him: "Don't stare at me."

Mu Junyan reached out and snatched the jade bowl from her hand: "If I don't look at it, who should I look at?"

Gu Hua glared at him, unwilling to let the lychee drink be taken away, so she quickly grabbed his arm and leaned in to drink directly from the jade bowl in his hand.

Seeing her looking like a kitten, Mu Junyan couldn't help but stroke her hair and said quietly, "You really have gotten fat."

Gu Hua froze, then abruptly shrank back, staring at him in horror: "Really? I've really gained weight?"

Mu Junyan nodded seriously: "Yes, the waist is soft and the legs are too, they've got a bit more flesh."

Women are most afraid of being told they are fat.

Gu Hua was only in her early thirteens, the age when she loved beauty the most.

Hearing this, they felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

"I did gain some weight after giving birth, but I've been working out every day for the past month. Shen Li even prescribed me a formula to help me get back to my former figure. I've been drinking it every day."

She ran to the bronze mirror and twisted her body in front of it.

I didn't notice she gained too much weight; she's basically back to her pre-pregnancy figure.

Somewhat disbelieving, she touched her waist and said, "I feel about the same as before I had the baby."

Mu Junyan looked at her with amusement.

Despite having two children, her waist remains as slender and graceful as when she was a young girl.

His large hand grasped it perfectly.

Gu Hua was considered tall for a woman, and with the addition of martial arts training, her legs were long and shapely, without an ounce of excess fat.

She twisted her waist in front of the mirror, the loose robe she wore creating a shapely curve, her soft breasts even more prominent than when she was a girl.

Unable to contain himself, his Adam's apple bobbed. He slowly stood up, walked to her side, and said in a low, husky voice without changing his expression, "You have indeed gained weight."

The lingering sweetness of the lychee drink in Gu Hua's mouth suddenly changed.

But she was still unwilling to give up, and looked up at him: "Where do you think I'm fat? I don't think so."

Seeing him looking at her with a serious expression, Gu Hua panicked and hurriedly went to find Dong Hua and the others, wanting to ask them what was going on.

But there was no one else in the room except for the two of them.

"Hmph, so they've learned to shirk their responsibilities."

It seems I can't drink the lychee drink anymore.

Seeing her looking so worried, Mu Junyan felt a little sorry for her and went over to pick her up and place her on his lap: "From now on, get up early and practice swordsmanship with me. You'll be back to normal soon."

Gu Hua was already exhausted and had no mood for it, so she just mumbled an "Mmm".

"Let me get some sleep first, I'm so sleepy."

Gu Hua nestled softly in Mu Junyan's arms, feeling his large hands roam over her body, instantly igniting a fire within her.

She suddenly realized that Mu Junyan didn't want her to be exposed to the cold.

Actually, he really likes his body.
