Ningdong bit his lip and knelt down in front of Chu Yue again.
"Princess, why don't we say goodbye? To this slave, Heimu has the gift of teaching and even saving lives. The slave's love for him is mixed with kindness. He is not required to do so, so I don't want to embarrass him. , it is enough to just take a look at him on weekdays and slowly repay his kindness."
She clutched the handkerchief tightly with both hands. It wasn't that she didn't want to have an outcome with Kuromu. It was because Kuromu was too cold and never showed any emotion.
She didn't dare to gamble.
If Kuroki thought that she had said something to the princess, so he forcibly tied the two together, and then there would be a gap in their hearts, even if they were really together, neither of them would be happy, and it would be better to maintain the current status quo. .
Moreover, the princess is busy enough on weekdays, and she doesn't want the princess to worry about her affairs anymore.
Seeing this, Chu Yue reached out her hand to help Ningdong again.
"Why are you kneeling down again? If you have any questions, just tell me. If you don't want to, is it possible that I can force you to go?"
Ningdong took Chu Yue's hand and said coquettishly, "Princess Master, can you not always think about marrying me off? I just want to accompany the Princess and don't want to think about anything else."
Chu Yue smiled and nodded.
"Okay, I promise you."
…
Kuroki sat on the roof with his arms around his sword, taking in a panoramic view of everything in the yard.
His mission is just to protect his master.
Originally, he didn't intend to listen to the chat between Chu Yue and Ning Dong. He just heard Chu Yue mentioning himself and was distracted, so he overheard the conversation between the two people in the room.
When he heard her praising him, the corners of Kuroki's lips raised slightly.
He thought that originally they were just there to share the master's worries, but now she was asked to worry about them. If the master really pointed out Ningdong to him, in order to save the master's worries, he shouldn't refuse, right?
For people like them who lick blood on the tip of a knife, in order not to delay others, they never think about getting a wife.
But if the master insists on getting married, it will be the same no matter who he marries, as long as they can live in peace.
…
Lu Mansion is very lively today.
Because of Lu Xinghe's status as the Imperial Academy's wine-offering, any official with a descendant in the family would take this opportunity to prepare generous gifts to please him.
The entire front yard was packed with guests.
Not only that, the emperor and empress also led the prince and princess to personally deliver congratulatory gifts.
However, because of their special status, Gu Jinghe and Qin Feilan only asked Lu Xinghe for a glass of wedding wine before leaving.
Qianyu raised his glass in the direction of Lu Xinghe.
"My mother was just like her when she was young. Her eyes seemed to contain light, but later she was disappointed too many times and the light in her eyes disappeared. Treat her well and wish you a long life together."
"Thanks."
Lu Xinghe clinked the wine glass in his hand with Qian Yu and drank it all in one gulp.
Before, he thought Qian Yu had ulterior motives for protecting Chu Yue like that, but it turned out that he was overthinking it.
Lu Xinghe greeted everyone at the table. When he arrived at Uncle Lu's table, although half of his face was covered by a mask, Lu Xinghe still felt a little familiar.
This is the closest I've been to Uncle Lu since I learned about his existence, and it's also the clearest I've seen him.
Lu Xinghe frowned slightly. He wanted to ask something, but his attention was attracted by the voices around him raising wine glasses to congratulate him. He finally toasted to this table and then moved to the next table.
Uncle Lu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Lu Xinghe walking away.
He stood up and walked quietly towards the gate of Lu Mansion.
At this moment, Lu Shoucheng, who was responsible for greeting the guests, was still standing at the door of Lu Mansion. When he saw Uncle Lu wearing a mask walking towards him, he didn't think much about it. He only thought that this man's dress was really strange. He was actually wearing a mask when he came to the wedding banquet. Wearing a mask.
However, when he thought that the people who could come here were all rich or noble people in the capital, and no matter how bad they were, they were also friends of Lu Xinghe and Chu Yue, there was no sign of slackness in their expressions.
He cupped his fists.
"Dear guest, the banquet is not over yet, do you want to leave?"
Uncle Lu looked at him deeply, then lowered his eyes and sighed.
"I'm not feeling well, so I won't bother you any more and take my leave."
After saying that, he strode outside Lu Mansion.
Lu Shoucheng looked at his back and was slightly stunned when he saw his left hand behind his back.
He remembered that the third brother always liked to hold his thumb in his palm at that time.
"This action is really similar to that of Third Brother."
Lu Shoucheng said with nostalgia on his face.
But it was just a small detail, and he didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, this habit was not unique to anyone.
…
After Chu Yue ate and read the conversation notebook, she leaned on the couch and fell asleep again.
Because we were in our own courtyard and there were no outsiders around, we felt extremely comfortable and at ease. The nervousness we felt when we first got married was relieved a lot.
Chu Yue opened her eyes and rubbed her eyebrows.
The pair of red candles with happy characters on them not far away burned particularly brightly.
"Ningdong, what time is it?"
Ningdong, who was standing outside the house, noticed the questioning inside the house and hurriedly replied, "Princess, it's already midnight."
"Is the wedding banquet over yet?"
"It should be soon." Ningdong said with some uncertainty.
Chu Yue stood up from the couch and said, "Ask the kitchen to prepare a bowl of sobering soup. Come and put the phoenix crown back on for me. It's getting dark and my husband will be back soon."
"yes."
After Ningdong told Chu Yue what she had asked, he entered the room, put her wedding dress on her and put the phoenix crown on her again.
Chu Yue took the fan and sat on the bed. After a while, she heard noisy noises coming from the door. It turned out that a group of people were surrounding Lu Xinghe entering the wedding room.
The people who gathered around him included a few brothers from the Lu family and several young masters he had good friends with in the capital. In addition, there were Lu Yufang, Zhuang Huiyun, Gu Wushuang and others.
"Master Lu, it's time to fan yourself!" Xi Niang said with a smile as she looked at Lu Xinghe.
Expectation flashed in Lu Xinghe's deep eyes. He approached the bed and stretched out his hand towards the fan handle in Chu Yue's hand.
The fan turned to one side, and a charming and delicate little face appeared in front of Lu Xinghe. The moment he saw Chu Yue, his heartbeat seemed to skip a beat. In his heart, he could only see the woman on the bed in front of him. .
There was a moment of silence in the wedding room, and everyone's faces were filled with surprise.
Soon, there was even more lively cheers than before.
After Xi Niang said a few auspicious words, she reminded her again, "You two should rest early after drinking the combined quilt wine. I will leave first."
After saying that, he greeted everyone and left the wedding room.
Chu Yue noticed Lu Xinghe's burning gaze and tugged on her wide sleeves nervously.
She didn't look in the direction of Lu Xinghe, but looked outside the house.
"Ningdong, go tell the kitchen to bring the hangover soup."
"yes."
Ningdong hurried to the direction of the kitchen.
Chu Yue was about to get up and go to the dressing table to take off the phoenix crown, but she was grabbed by Lu Xinghe.
"I'll help you."
He stood up, carefully took off the hair crown on Chu Yue's head and put it aside, then looked directly at her.
"Are you tired?"
