Chapter 260: Happy Wedding! The Young Princess

sk! Must you pry into everything If the Emperor knew that she and Prince Qian Tingxuan had already been holding hands and hugging, wouldn't he order her executed""The better!" The Emperor's eyes grew...Thus, the marriage of Qian Tingxuan and Xiao Yuge was decided. The old grandmother was the oldest person in both villages. She was kind to everyone and was respected by all. Upon learning that this was her last wish, everyone from both villages pitched in to help. In half a day, the house was decorated with festive cheer.

In the evening, Xiao Yu Ge and Qian Ting Xuan formally paid their respects at the altar in front of the witnesses from both villages, young and old.

"The bride is here!"

With cheers, Xiao Yuge in a red bridal dress walked into the hall supported by Hu Ma. Although she knew it was fake, Xiao Yuge was still a little nervous. Through her red veil, she saw Qian Tingxuan striding towards her, his red clothes making him seem even taller than usual.

His hand reached out toward her, and with it came the crimson silk he had been clutching tightly in his fist. He must have been happy, his face seemed to overflow with smiles, even through that half mask I could feel it.

"Bow to Heaven and Earth!"

"Two bows to the high hall!"

"Bow to the couple!"

According to elders, the person who bows lower during the wedding ceremony loves their partner more and has more control over finances. So, Qian Tingxuan bowed deeply when exchanging vows with her, and even took the opportunity to sneak a glance at her, which caused those around them to burst into laughter!

"The girl I waited for all those years, finally married me! They say the one who falls in love first is the loser, Xia Ge'er, you won my whole life!" Qian Tingxuan thought happily as he bent down, the worldly gaze of others didn't matter to him. For the rest of his life, he would love her, pamper her, and protect her..."

"Off to the bridal chamber!"

He scooped her up in his arms, and amidst the stunned silence and cheers of the crowd, carried his bride into their new home!

“My Lan'er is finally married, finally married...” The old grandmother laughed happily. Her face, full of wrinkles, broke into a smile she hadn't shown in years. This should be the happiest time she’d smiled in many years. Finally, she trembled and reached out, placing her hand on Liu Village Chief's arm: "My dear child, mother is very happy today. Go get mother a cup of wedding wine, please. After decades, mother wants to have a sip tonight..." At this moment, she seemed to be clear-headed again.

"Alright, mother," said the village head, beaming with delight. He quickly brought over a cup of wine from the side.

The old granny trembled as she took the cup, slowly bringing it to her lips. Without a moment's hesitation, she drank it all in one gulp, just like she used to in her younger days.

"Cough cough!" The alcohol seemed to have burned her throat.

"I'm getting old, useless... I can't even handle a glass of wine..." She leaned listlessly against her son, "Son, mother is a bit drunk. Let me go back to my room to rest. You wait here and entertain our guests properly later."

“Alright, Mother,” Elder Liu carefully helped her into the room and gently tucked her in. He stayed until she fell asleep before quietly leaving the room.

In the happy house.

"What are you doing bringing me in here, look how they're laughing..." As soon as she stepped into the room, Xiao Yuge reproached him playfully. This wasn't how a groom was supposed to bring his bride into their bridal chamber! It made him seem so impatient, utterly embarrassing.

"I'm holding my little wife, what business is it of theirs They love to laugh, let them laugh." Qian Tingxuan didn't seem to mind at all, he carefully took the bride's headpiece off for her: "This one is quite heavy, must have tired you out."

"I'm completely exhausted! If I had known getting married was this tiring, I wouldn't have done it." Xiao Yuge slumped onto the bed, drained of energy.

“Don't talk nonsense! In times of urgency, power comes first. This time there’s no way around it. Once we return to the capital, we will hold another wedding ceremony. I swear I will make you the most celebrated bride in the entire capital! Come, we have to drink this oath wine!” Qian Tingxuan poured two cups of wine as he spoke.

"Qianting Xuan, why are you drinking wedding wine We're just pretending to be married, don't take it seriously. I'm so tired, I want to sleep. Go sleep outside..." Xiao Yuge felt her eyelids getting heavy and mumbled something. The rest was almost inaudible. She barely slept all night and was busy all day today, she was exhausted.

Hearing this, Qian Tingxuan silently put down his wine glass and walked to the bedside. He pulled the quilt over her gently, covering her body. He knew she was truly exhausted and naturally didn't want to disturb her.

He looked at the two cups of joined wine, his gaze somewhat forlorn: she treated this as a sham wedding, but what could he do if he took it seriously

He lay outside, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. His mind was filled with her image in her wedding dress, so cute and charming. They had gone through the ceremony, even if it was fake, it was a real wedding. He had been serious about it, how could she not take it seriously

Thinking about it, he got up from his bed and went back into her room. He looked at the two cups of wine joined together. He walked over, drank one cup himself, then brought the other to the bedside. He tilted his head back and drank it down, then leaned down and poured the wine into her mouth: whether it was true or not, she had to drink this cup of wedding wine. Because only after drinking the wedding wine would this marriage ceremony be truly complete.

"Hmm, uh..." The liquor slid down her throat, the spiciness making her wrinkle her brow, but she didn't wake up.

"Happy wedding day! My little queen!" Qian Tingxuan took the opportunity to steal a kiss from her lips. They had already officially gone through the ceremony, with all the villagers as witnesses. The little thing still wanted to back out, but he wouldn't give her that chance.

So, when the village head of Liu and the village head of Li came to discuss this with him, he almost immediately agreed. He could use a plausible excuse and openly marry her—he should be thanking the old village head and the others!

Xiao Yu woke up from her sleep and felt someone beside her. Instantly, her drowsiness disappeared. She sat up abruptly and looked closely. To her surprise, it was Qian Tingxuan!

"You...you...how did you end up on my bed" He was still wearing his wedding attire. That's when she remembered their pretend marriage, he couldn't actually be serious, could he

She let out a long sigh of relief when she saw that her clothes were still neat and tidy.

"My lady, awake" At this time, Qian Tingxuan had already sat up, his hands resting casually on his legs. A head of black hair was draped over his shoulders, looking languid and carefree. His slightly open chest was a bit alluring.

"Who are you, woman Get out of here!" He opened his chest halfway, revealing strong and full muscles that made Xiao Yuge's heart race. She subconsciously averted her gaze.

He was clearly doing it on purpose!

“Little songbird, we have already paid respects at the temple. You are now my little wife. As husband and wife, we should share a bed. Where do you want me to go” Qian Tingxuan's lips curled up slightly. This little thing actually wanted to shirk their responsibilities after waking up! There was no way!

"We all know that's fake, it doesn't count!" Xiao Yuge touched her forehead, she felt like she had been tricked. What should she dou Ge, his copper bell-like eyes scanning her up and down before narrowing. "Who are you And why do you want to see me" In his view, the frail boy in front of him, who seemed almost malnourished, wasn'...
