Chapter 234 The Big Wedding
Tomorrow is the wedding day. According to the customs of Wei, the bride and groom should not meet for two days before the wedding.

So for the past two days, Rong Zhen has refrained from going to see Yun Wei.

He rubbed the cloth bag in his hand, feeling that it resembled a book.

He was somewhat surprised. Could it be a medical book?
He casually opened the cloth bag.

There are several books inside.

He opened one of the books.

Upon seeing the contents, the Regent's handsome face visibly flushed red.

A vein throbbed on his forehead, and he quickly closed the book.

Thinking of the other books, he paused, but couldn't resist flipping through them. He discovered they were all the same, and his expression immediately became quite interesting.

What does Yunwei mean? Why did she give him all these things?

Just as he was thinking this, he noticed a note tucked inside the cover of the top book.

He picked it up and looked at it.

The woman's elegant handwriting came into view: Think it over carefully.

Rong Zhen: "..."

Is this because they felt he didn't understand, so they specially sent him books to enlighten him?

Realizing this, Rong Zhen felt both ashamed and angry.

But this wasn't the first time he'd met Yunwei like this. Although he was somewhat annoyed, he wasn't intimidated by her bold actions.

After entering the study and calming down, he dismissed the servants and reopened the books to read.

"Master, Lord Pei has arrived." Just then, Qingfeng's voice rang out from outside the door.

Rong Zhen quickly put the books into the drawer.

"Let him in."

A short while later, Pei Qing came in.

Rong Zhen frowned. "Why aren't you resting at home? What are you doing here?"

Pei Qing said, "I rushed back as fast as I could to make it to your wedding. I just finished seeing the Emperor in the palace and came straight here to see you, but judging from your expression, you don't seem to be very welcoming to me."

"Knowing that, why did you still come?" Rong Zhen said bluntly.

Pei Qing looked heartbroken. "I'm truly heartbroken. I'm in Xizhou, yet I've been thinking about you all this time."

Rong Zhen's eye twitched slightly. "You've got the wrong person in mind."

"Then who else would I be thinking about?" Pei Qing said angrily.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud shout rang out from outside.

"Pei Qing, Pei Wangcai, Pei Gougou, you're really back?"

Pei Qing's temple throbbed as he looked at Rong Zhen and pointed outside, asking, "Who are you calling for? Who is Pei Wangcai and Pei Gougou?"

Rong Zhen looked at him with pity. "Besides you, who else could be worthy of such an elegant name?"

Pei Qing rolled up his sleeves, "Who has such a sharp tongue? I'm going to teach him a lesson..."

Before the words were finished, a fiery red figure rushed in.

"The Moon Kingdom...Princess?" Pei Qing froze.

The person who arrived was none other than Xuan Yuanjing.

I heard that in the Wei Kingdom, the day before a wedding, the bride's family sends someone to the groom's house to prepare the bridal chamber. So today, she came to the Regent's Palace to join in the fun. Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered, she saw Pei Qing and followed him all the way here.

Unexpectedly, it really was Pei Qing.

He actually came back.

"It's good that you're back. Come on, let's go discuss the wedding arrangements." Xuan Yuanjing took Pei Qing's hand and walked away.

Pei Qing followed her for several steps.

As she reached the door, she realized what was happening and quickly grabbed the doorframe to stop herself. "Princess of the Moon Kingdom, is there some misunderstanding?"

"What's the misunderstanding?" Xuan Yuanjing turned around when she couldn't pull him up and realized that he had grabbed the door frame.

She frowned slightly, pried his hands off, and said, "Your mother and I have already discussed it. Once you return, our marriage will be arranged."

Upon hearing this, Pei Qing was greatly alarmed. What did it mean?
Did his mother sell him while he was away?
Realizing this, he gasped and said sternly, "Princess of the Moon Kingdom, marriage is a serious matter, not a game. You cannot act recklessly."

“I’m not doing anything reckless. I seriously want to marry you, and your mother has agreed.” Xuan Yuanjing also looked serious.

Pei Qing: "..."

If he had known that such a big scare awaited him upon his return, he would have simply not come back.

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, he softened his voice and said, "Princess of the Moon Kingdom, this matter is of great importance. Please allow me to go back and discuss it with my mother first, and then I will tell you."

"Let's go, let's go together." Xuan Yuanjing grabbed his arm and dragged him outside.

Pei Qing: "..."

He turned to Rong Zhen pleadingly, "Help me!"

Before Rong Zhen could speak, Xuan Yuanjing had already hoisted Pei Qing onto her shoulder. "You're so slow. It'll be faster if I carry you."

Pei Qing, head bowed: "..."

Upon seeing this scene, Rong Zhen couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Qingfeng and the others outside the door laughed until tears streamed down their faces.

"The Moon Kingdom princess is really fierce!"

"I've seen women forcibly abducted, but I've never seen a man forcibly abducted."

"Lord Pei has returned safely from Xizhou, but I never expected that he would suffer such a disgrace so soon after his return."

……

Yunwei was unaware of the farce unfolding here.

The county princess's mansion is bustling with activity today, as everyone is preparing for her wedding tomorrow.

She went to bed early that night.

……

On the day of the wedding, the sun shone brightly and the weather was fine. The long street was crowded with onlookers, all eager to witness this grand wedding.

"I'm coming!"

At this moment, someone shouted, and the crowd waiting to see the spectacle became even more restless, all pushing forward, eager to catch a glimpse of the Regent.

Before long, a group of people came from the end of the long street.

The deafening sound of drums and the harmonious chorus of suona horns added to the festive atmosphere of this joyous occasion.

On the lead horse, a tall, chestnut-red horse, sat the Regent, dressed in a crimson python robe and a gold and jade belt, exuding majesty and nobility. Yet, when he looked at the onlookers, his gaze was gentle, calm, and benevolent.

Behind her, a bright red bridal sedan chair was surrounded by people.

As the procession moved forward, pleasant floral and incense scents wafted from the sedan chair.

"Long live the Regent!"

"Long live the Regent's Wife!"

Someone took the lead and shouted.

In an instant, the shouts of the people resounded through the sky.

Yunwei sat in a sedan chair inlaid with dragon and phoenix patterns, her head covered with a large red wedding veil, looking elegant and noble.

Listening to the shouts of the people outside and the sound of the band's gongs and drums, she suddenly felt a bit nervous, like a bride-to-be.

After circling around, the wedding procession finally returned to the Regent's Palace.

After kicking the sedan chair door, stepping over the saddle, and bowing to heaven and earth, Yunwei was led into the bridal chamber.

But that's not all; the groom must first go to the wedding banquet to offer toasts.

She will only come back to lift the veil after the toasts are finished.

During this time, the bride could only sit and wait, and could not eat anything.

"Your Highness, the Prince has instructed that you should eat something first, so you don't go hungry," Sang Qing said to Yun Wei as she returned.

Yunwei was indeed tired and hungry. Upon hearing this, she didn't feign ignorance and said, "I understand." After thinking for a moment, she instructed, "You stay with the prince and don't let him drink so much."

Sang Qing chuckled and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, this servant understands. I will go and follow you now."

"Ah."
