I was sold when I opened my eyes! My sick and disabled husband comforts me every night after he wake

Lan Zhi was summoned to the palace early in the morning and didn't even get to eat breakfast. Her stomach was already growling loudly.

When the two of them returned to the Crown Prince's residence, it was just noon. As soon as she entered, Xiangxiu greeted her.

"Princess Consort, you're finally back. The Crown Prince has been waiting for you for a long time."

"He's waiting for me? Why?"

"The Crown Prince is in the main hall, please go and see him!"

Xiangxiu's expression held a hint of smugness, which left Lanzhi somewhat puzzled.

She strode to the main hall, and as soon as she entered, she was greeted by countless brightly colored, high-quality dresses:

Jadeite silk skirt, silver-thread embroidered flower skirt, brocade landscape skirt, pearl-embroidered jade robe, phoenix and dragon robe... Every piece of clothing here exudes nobility, and on the hem of each garment is embroidered a winter plum blossom, red, yellow, pink... This is her favorite flower. She only remembers mentioning it once, and he remembered it.

This place was no longer the main hall of the Crown Prince's residence; it was clearly a clothing shop.

She slowly walked inside, raised her hand, and lovingly touched the dresses that she wouldn't have dared to dream of just a few months ago, feeling a surge of indescribable bitterness in her heart.

"Lan Zhi, I remember two months ago you said that you had your eye on a dress embroidered with winter plum blossoms, but it cost two taels of silver. You thought it was too expensive and couldn't bear to buy it. You said you liked winter plum blossoms because they symbolize strength, composure, independence, and pride. At that time, I thought that if I ever had money, I would definitely buy you many, many dresses with winter plum blossoms to make you the most beautiful woman in the world. These clothes were bought on my own initiative. I don't know if you like them."

How could she not like it?

What woman doesn't love pretty clothes?

She looked up at the handsome man with a heroic air about him, and suddenly felt a surge of emotion.

But thinking about it, it's really ridiculous. Just now she was threatened by Liang Fei to leave him, and now she's moved by this man. It's really ironic.

"Lan Zhi..."

He stepped forward, took her hand, pulled her into his arms, rested his chin on her hair, and spoke softly.

"I hope you can forgive me for deceiving you in the past. I promise that I will never hide anything from you again and I will never let you down again. Otherwise, I am willing to suffer the pain of being struck by lightning and torn apart by five horses."

"Don't make such a heavy oath."

Although she was angry with him, she didn't want him to say such harsh words. She admitted that she still cared about him a lot.

"I just went to see Consort Liang."

Leaning against his chest, she thought of what Consort Liang had said to her, and suddenly felt very wronged.

"Really? I haven't had a chance to visit her yet. You two have been apart for a long time, and you seemed to be having a good chat?"

"Do not."

For a moment, she wanted to tell him the truth, but she held back the words.

She thought of what Consort Liang had said, then of Ling Jiawei, and then of Mao Mao.

The women in this harem are capable of anything, and she cannot allow these two closest relatives of hers to be harmed.

She quickly shook her head and explained.

"It's nothing, she just told me to take good care of you."

"Gone?"

"Gone."

Wei Jianning placed his hands on her shoulders, leaned forward slightly, and looked at her with tender eyes, saying solemnly:

"Lan Zhi, I've made up my mind. I'm going to give you the grandest wedding ever, so that everyone in the Northern Wei Kingdom will know that you are my woman."

wedding?

She had already promised Liang Fei that she would leave him, though not now, but not long after, and she couldn't agree to that.

"This matter is not urgent. The Crown Prince of Tianwu Kingdom is still imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. Who knows when the people of Tianwu Kingdom will invade? You should think about national affairs first, and then think about these trivial matters!"

"This is no small matter."

He shook his head in denial.

"I will handle the affairs of Tianwu Kingdom. Right now, marrying you is the most important thing to me."

“We’ve already been married, there’s no need to go through the trouble of arranging these ceremonies. Besides, I don’t like these complicated rituals; they’re too much of a hassle.”

"That didn't really count as a wedding. I'll make it up to you little by little, whatever I owe you."

His eyes revealed a sincerity that touched her heart.

But Consort Liang became a stumbling block between them.

"Crown Princess..."

Xiangxiu rushed in without a care in the world, but when she saw Wei Jianning holding Lan Zhi, she quickly turned away and replied apologetically.

"Your Highness, Ling Jiawei has arrived and wishes to see you."

Big brother's here?

She nodded happily.

"Quickly order someone to collect these and invite him in."

"Yes."

After Xiangxiu accepted the order, she left. A moment later, a group of maids rushed in and put away the gorgeous clothes. At this moment, Ling Jiawei walked in, led by Xiangxiu.

He had barely stepped into the main hall when he immediately knelt down on both knees.

"This humble subject pays respects to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."

Lan Zhi quickly stepped forward to help him up.

"Brother, we're all family, no need for formalities."

"Even family members should know how to behave properly. I was unaware of His Highness's true identity before, and I apologize for any offense I may have caused. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

When Ling Jiawei learned that Mo Ning, whom he had previously despised, was actually the Crown Prince Wei Jianning, he was nearly speechless with shock.

After much deliberation, he mustered his courage and went to the Crown Prince's residence, intending to apologize to Wei Jianning.

Wei Jianning quickly shook his head in acknowledgment.

“Lan Zhi is right. We’re all family, so there’s no need to be so polite. Please have a seat, brother.”

Seeing that the Crown Prince didn't hold a grudge against him for his previous rudeness, he nodded gratefully, then sat down with Lan Zhi pulling him up, nodding repeatedly with a beaming smile.

"That's wonderful. Lan Zhi really married the right person. It seems that my previous worries about Lan Zhi were unnecessary."

At this point, he sheepishly wiped his forehead with his sleeve, and Lan Zhi quickly smiled and nodded in agreement.

“Big brother, you are my closest relative. You have taken care of me since I was a child. It is only right that you worried about me before. How can you say it was unnecessary?”

Ling Jiawei scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.

"I was originally thinking that if I didn't pass the imperial examination, I would go back to my hometown. But now, thanks to you, I've been assigned to work in Shuntian Prefecture. Although I'm just a constable, this is the capital city, which is several ranks higher than the constables in our county government. This is something that people from our area would never dare to dream of in their entire lives! If they knew, they would be so envious of me!"

Wei Jianning looked at him with great surprise.

"You've started working for the Shuntian Prefecture?"

Ling Jiawei nodded hurriedly.

"Yes, it was Consort Liang who ordered the arrangement. Isn't this all thanks to you?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Jianning, with an apologetic smile, said:

“My mother is so thoughtful. I should have been the one to arrange the job for you. It was my oversight. I’m sorry, elder brother.”
