Chapter 219 Wedding Wine

There are three joys in life.

When one's name is on the list of successful candidates, on the wedding night, and meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

For Mu Cang, who is of noble status and powerful ability, he does not need to be on the list of successful candidates or meet an old friend in a foreign land, and it has nothing to do with him.

As for the wedding night...

The new house is full of lights and red candles.

The carved windows, the bedside, the pillars, and the walls are covered with red "囍" characters everywhere, and the bright lights reflect the gorgeous and charming furnishings in the new house.

The bridesmaid and the maids said happy words with smiles on their faces, and scattered peanuts, longans, red dates, lotus seeds and other fruits into the tent according to etiquette.

Mu Cang stood tall in the inner room, looking at the woman wearing a phoenix crown and a veil, his heart was filled with no space.

The female official in charge of ceremonies came over and respectfully asked the prince and the princess to sit side by side on the edge of the bed, and handed the Ruyi scale to Mu Cang.

Mu Cang took the Ruyi scale and gently lifted Yan Li's veil.

The girl in the phoenix crown and bridal robe sat on the edge of the bed, with bright eyes and white teeth, a beautiful face, and delicate and noble luster.

She once amazed the bridesmaids and maids.

Mu Cang was absent-minded for a moment.

He looked at the woman sitting beside him quietly, and his heart, which had been uneasy for a day and a night, finally settled down completely.

The female official brought a jade plate with two exquisite wine glasses on it.

Hejing wine.

Mu Cang took two glasses of wine and handed one to Yan Li.

The wine was fine wine, mellow and clear, with a hint of indescribable fragrance.

"Drink this glass of wine, and you will be my wife in this life." Mu Cang's eyes were like a deep pool, with thousands of tenderness in them, "No matter what happens in the future, this fact will not change."

Yan Li understood what he meant.

At this time, she married him with Yan Li's body and Yan Li's identity. Outsiders only knew that Yan Li, the cousin of the Jiang family, was his princess.

But only the two of them knew who Mu Cang was going to marry.

If she had always been Yan Li and stayed in Mu Kingdom forever, then she would always be the princess of the Ninth Prince Mu Cang.

But once she left Mu Kingdom one day and restored her own identity, she would have to accept the fact that she had been married to the Ninth Prince of Mu Kingdom.

Mu Cang would be her future husband. They had worshipped heaven and earth and made a covenant.

She could not regret it in this life.

It didn't matter whether outsiders understood or not. What Mu Cang wanted was that she kept her promise.

The two arms intertwined, the wine went down their throats, and the tenderness penetrated their bones.

The wine cup was put back on the jade plate. The female officials and maids bowed together and said in a clear voice: "Congratulations to the prince and princess on their marriage!"

"I wish the prince and princess a happy marriage and a son soon!"

People are refreshed when they are happy.

Mu Cang, who always had a cold face, rarely showed his gentleness: "Twenty taels of silver for each person."

The maids smiled and knelt down to thank: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Princess!"

"You must be hungry." Mu Cang turned to look at Yan Li, raised his hand to take off her phoenix crown, "Just wash up first, and ask them to prepare some food."

Yan Li nodded.

"Your Majesty." Mo Yun stood outside and asked for instructions, "The four people outside claimed to be the princes of Jin. This time they came for the diplomatic relations between the two countries. They want to enter the palace to ask for a glass of wedding wine. Please give instructions, Your Majesty!"

Mu Cang frowned and said in a deep voice: "Let them go."

Anyway, the wedding has been completed, and they can't do anything even if they enter the palace.

"Yes!" Mo Yun took the order and left.

After taking off the Phoenix Coronet, Yan Li seemed much more relaxed: "Your Majesty, you won't go out to entertain the guests?"

"No need." Mu Cang stood up and walked out. After a while, he came back with a cup of tea, "Prince Jing will help entertain."

As he said that, he handed the cup of tea in his hand to Yan Li, and raised his hand to dismiss all the female officials and maids in the bridal chamber.

Yan Li took the cup of tea, lowered her eyes and sipped it lightly: "Those young masters are your subordinates?"

"Yes."

Yan Li was silent for a moment, drank the cup of tea slowly, and then said: "In this case, let's sit down and talk."

Anyway, there will definitely be no wedding night tonight. She is young and this body belongs to someone else. For the time being, they can only be a couple who chat under the quilt.

Mu Cang and her tacitly understand that in terms of physical intimacy, there is actually no difference between being married and not being married.

It's just that she can live in the Ninth Prince's Mansion legitimately in the future, closer to him, and with a status, Mu Cang can regard himself as her husband anytime and anywhere.

Mu Cang took the teacup: "Another cup?"

"No."

Mu Cang hummed and put the teacup aside: "Let's talk about the Queen of Jin?"

Yan Li nodded: "Okay."

Mu Cang took a soft towel and soaked it in water, wrung it dry, and handed it to Yan Li to wipe his face: "What do you think?"

Yan Li wiped his face and hands slowly, and said leisurely: "Let it be."

"The Queen of Jin came here this time to let you return to Jin to recognize your ancestors." Mu Cang lowered his eyes and looked at Yan Li's delicate face, "Besides that, there is another purpose that no one would think of."

Mu Cang and Yan Li had discussed Jiang Yi's real purpose before.

Jiang Yi did not have her own biological son.

Before she married the Emperor of Jin, he already had several children, but their fate was unfortunate. When she was the crown prince, she could not escape the fate of the royal brothers killing each other.

Jiang Yi went to Jin without anyone noticing, and there must have been help from Emperor Zhaocheng, otherwise she, a girl from a noble family, could not have concealed it. Tianlai Novel Network

But it seems a little uncertain whether Jiang Yi and the emperor were in love with each other or whether it was a favor formed by helping him turn the tables back then.

Yan Li leaned against the headboard, thinking: "Most of the impressions of the dignitaries of various countries on the emperor and empress of Jin are that they are in love with each other and the couple has been in love for ten years, but now all kinds of signs show that the truth seems not to be so."

Mu Cang said in a steady voice: "In recent years, the shadow guards have reported that Jiang Yi's acquaintance with the deposed prince was entirely facilitated by the emperor."

Yan Li frowned: "You mean, the marriage was the emperor's idea?"

"Yeah."

Yan Li pondered for a moment: "I can understand it. Although he likes Jiang Yi, the situation of Mu State was not very good at that time. The king of a country cannot only care about his children's personal feelings. He needs to put his family, country and the world first."

So for Jiang Yi, in addition to his deep love, Emperor Zhaocheng should have more guilt.

However, the combination of love and guilt certainly made him willing to treat Yan Li well, but in the final analysis, the more important reason was that he knew that Yan Li was a princess of Jin.

If Mu State and Jin State want to have long-term friendship, Yan Li must be treated well in Mu State.

"The four princes outside were all sons born before the Emperor of Jin and Jiang Yi met. Yan Zheng and Yan Jin were born to the original Crown Princess. Later, the Crown Princess's family was imprisoned for treason, and the Crown Princess died in grief." Mu Cang said indifferently, "The abandoned Crown Prince was able to turn defeat into victory and eventually sit on the throne. Mu Guo and Jiang Yi have made great contributions."
