The Abandoned Wife of a Military Family: Your disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 235 Wedding Night (Part 1)

After Sang Qing left, Tian'er immediately brought food and drinks to fill Yun Wei's stomach.

Yunwei wanted to pull off the veil, but Tian'er wouldn't let her.

“Miss, you can’t lift this veil yourself. You have to wait for the Prince to lift it, otherwise it will be bad luck.”

Although Yunwei didn't believe in these things, she didn't insist on removing the veil anymore.

She ate some food from Tian'er's hand.

At this moment, the front courtyard of the Prince's Mansion was bustling with activity.

All the civil and military officials have arrived.

Today, the Regent was overjoyed, and everyone saw that he was not as unapproachable as before, so they all vied to toast him.

Especially Pei Qing.

He took the lead in pouring wine for Rong Zhen.

Cui Shao couldn't stop him no matter what.

He had reason to suspect that Pei Qing was jealous of Rong Zhen getting married.

"That's enough for you two. The Regent will be consummating his marriage soon."

"What does the Regent's wedding night have to do with you? Why are you so anxious?" Pei Qing, who was drunk, slurred and choked on his words.

“That’s right, why is General Cui in such a hurry?” someone echoed.

"Come on, let's toast the Regent!" Pei Qing jeered.

Cui Shao hardened his fist.

This guy not only didn't help shield us from the drinks, but he also led the commotion.

Seeing Rong Zhen drinking cup after cup, Sang Qing was also very anxious. She followed behind him and kept advising him, "Master, the Princess Consort wants you to drink less."

The banquet was too noisy, and Rong Zhen didn't hear clearly. He turned his head and asked, "What did the Princess say?"

"The princess said you should drink less," Sang Qing had no choice but to raise her voice.

"Oh my, the princess has only just entered and she's already making demands." Pei Qing immediately teased upon hearing this. "Regent, you'd better not drink, lest you be unable to enter the bridal chamber later, haha... uh!"

Cui Shao stuffed a chicken leg into his mouth, successfully silencing his laughter.

He picked up the wine jar and said to his colleagues who were filling Rongzhen wine, "What's the point of drinking from a bowl? If you're going to drink, drink the whole jar. Who among you dares to drink with me?"

Seeing the wine jar in his hand, everyone swallowed hard and started to back down.

But some were not intimidated. They picked up the wine jars and said with great bravado, "What are we afraid of? There are so many of us, do you think we can't outdrink him? Cheers!"

Cui Shao removed the mud seal and started drinking with the others.

The wedding banquet lasted until evening.

Rong Zhen finally managed to escape and was preparing to go to the bridal chamber to lift Yun Wei's veil, but as soon as he left the banquet, a group of followers appeared behind him.

"Uncle, we'll accompany you into the bridal chamber," Rong Xue said with a grin when she saw that he had noticed her.

The members of the royal family following behind him were also eager to make a scene, looking like they were afraid the world wouldn't be chaotic enough. "We haven't met your sister-in-law (aunt) yet. We heard that the bride is more beautiful than an angel. We have to go and see her."

Rong Zhen's veins throbbed, and his imposing gaze swept over the crowd.

But the crowd, who were usually terrified of him and wished they could stay far away from him, were surprisingly bold today. They were not scared off at all, and instead, they were all very enthusiastic.

"Hurry, hurry, don't keep the bride waiting."

Just kidding, how could they possibly miss such a rare opportunity to cause trouble for the Regent?
If you miss this opportunity, you'll never have another chance in your life.

Therefore, no matter how imposing Rong Zhen usually was, he could not intimidate them at this time.

Rong Zhen was amused by their antics, but since it was his wedding day, he didn't get angry. Instead, he slowly said, "Who said I was going into the bridal chamber? I'm going to the outhouse now. Are you coming with me?"

Everyone: "..."

"Uncle, when will you move into the bridal chamber?" Rong Xue pressed.

"It's still early, what's the rush?" Rong Zhen said unhurriedly. "I can still drink. You all wait for me, don't run away. In a little while, I'll have another drinking contest with you."

After saying that, he walked towards the outhouse.

Seeing that he was still lucid, everyone assumed he was going to relieve himself first and then come back to drink with them, so they returned to the banquet, completely unaware that this was Rong Zhen's delaying tactic. Rong Zhen successfully shook them off and returned to the bridal chamber, where Yun Wei was leaning against the bedpost, almost asleep.

It was only after Tian'er gently nudged her that she came to her senses.

She had just sat up straight when she heard the man's footsteps approaching.

She looked down and saw a pair of black satin boots, which had stopped against the tips of her shoes.

"Your Highness, please lift the veil." At this moment, the matchmaker's voice suddenly rang out.

Yunwei heard the man give a low "hmm," and then the veil that was blocking her view was slowly lifted.

The sudden bright light made Yunwei blink uncomfortably.

When she got used to it, she met Rong Zhen's deep, smiling eyes.

She paused, noticing the redness in his eyes and the flush on his face. She wanted to ask him how much he had drunk, but seeing there were other people in the room, she gave up the question.

Afterwards, Rong Zhen sat down beside her, took the golden scissors handed to him by the matchmaker, and cut off a lock of hair.

Yunwei did the same, taking a strand of hair and cutting it off.

Just as the matchmaker was about to take the hair from the two men's hands, Rong Zhen dodged her movement, saying, "I will do it."

The matchmaker had no choice but to step back.

Rong Zhen solemnly took the hair from Yun Wei's hand, tied it together with the hair he had cut off, and then put it in the box.

"You two are now husband and wife, your love unwavering. I wish Your Highness and Your Highness a long and happy marriage, and many children!" The matchmaker said with a smile.

"Wishing Your Highness and Your Highness a long and happy marriage, and many children to be born!"

The others also offered their congratulations.

Rong Zhen looked at Yun Wei with a smile in his eyes.

Yunwei sat upright, her eyes fixed straight ahead, but her hands, resting on her knees, were nervously twisting her handkerchief.

The matchmaker cheerfully brought the nuptial wine to the two of them.

As the two toasted each other, Rong Zhen whispered in Yun Wei's ear, "Just take a sip, that's enough."

Upon hearing this, Yunwei, considering her own alcohol tolerance, only took one sip.

After the two finished drinking the nuptial wine, the matchmaker tactfully led her entourage away.

The house suddenly became very quiet, with only the sound of burning candles. The noise from the front yard had stopped at some point.

"Take off the phoenix crown?" Rong Zhen broke the silence.

"Hmm." Yun Wei came back to her senses and was about to reach out when Rong Zhen took off the heavy phoenix crown for her and placed it on the table next to her.

Yunwei suddenly felt much more relaxed in her neck.

Although the phoenix crown was magnificent and beautiful, it was really too heavy. She wore it all day and her neck was sore from the pressure.

She couldn't help but reach out and rub it.

Seeing this, Rong Zhen said gently, "I'll help you."

Yun Wei paused for a moment, then did not refuse, "Mm."

The two were already very familiar with each other, and now that they were married, there was even less need for them to be discreet.

Rong Zhen massaged her for a while, and seeing that her wedding dress was too heavy, he said, "Take off your wedding dress first."

Upon hearing this, Yunwei turned and glanced at him.

Rong Zhen paused for a moment and explained, "I just felt that this wedding dress was too heavy, and you must be uncomfortable wearing it."

Yunwei blinked. "You're right, it really is uncomfortable for me to wear." The wedding dress was prepared by the Imperial Household Department. Although it was beautiful and luxurious, the design was complicated and cumbersome, and it was also very heavy.

She had wanted to take it off for a long time.

She stood up, spread her arms, and said, "Then I'll trouble Your Highness to help me take it off."

Rong Zhen: "..."

His Adam's apple bobbed, and he reached out and placed his hand on her belt.
