♂?，，

  The welcoming team walked for half a day and arrived in Shuozhou.

  Two people ate some food in the car, Zhu Yucheng knew that Chu Keqi must have gone out with an empty stomach today, and ordered his servants to prepare hot soup and hot rice. The food box was placed in the car, and Chu Keqi didn't look like a typical new bride who was starving, but instead ate quite full.

  Looking at her red lips as she ate, Zhu Yuxian couldn't help but entwine and kiss again and again, until the carriage stopped, only then did he reluctantly let go.

  They arrived at the Ten Mile Pavilion outside Shuozhou City, Zhu Yuxuan came out to ride a horse, Chu Ke was carried on his back and sat in a sedan chair, the musicians and sedan bearers came over, blowing and beating their way into the city.

  After worshiping heaven and earth and sending them to the bridal chamber, Chu Ke didn't feel particularly tired, probably because she was full, and felt quite spirited.

  As they entered the bridal chamber, the sound of tinkling jewelry and rustling skirts could be heard from behind, as if many people were following. Chu Ke'er was helped to walk along the red carpet and sat down at the bedside, then someone laughed and said, "I've heard that the bride is very beautiful, I wonder if it's true." The voice was not soft.

  "Yes, let's take a look under the cover in a while." Someone immediately echoed.

  Chu Xue heard this and was taken aback, feeling that the person speaking didn't seem very friendly. The voice sounded young, but the laughter was pleasant and not too soft, giving off a bold impression, which didn't seem like an unmarried girl.

  Zhu Yichan said beside him, "What about the servants? Ordinary guests are allowed to stay in the front yard, why let them enter the backyard?"

  After a moment of silence, the maid responded in a low voice and quietly asked those people to leave. Those people left. The sound of footsteps was much heavier than when they came.

  The house fell silent, as if no one was there.

  Chu Xue couldn't help but ask curiously from under her veil: "Who are those people?"

  Zhu Yichan reached out and took her hand, saying: "It's the imperial consort's family." He coughed and corrected himself, saying: "Empress Dowager."

  Chu Xue was taken aback. Could it be that the person who spoke was the one who didn't end up marrying Zhu Ye Chen? She actually wanted to take a look at what that person looked like.

  Next to her, someone let out a snort of laughter, a female voice. Chu Ke didn't know there was still someone beside her and suddenly felt extremely embarrassed! Her face immediately turned scorching hot, luckily the quilt covered her head so no one saw it.

  That person spoke up, smiling and saying: "I am Yong Chen's older sister-in-law. There is also another one here who is his older sister-in-law."

  Two more! Chu Xue would really like to have a seam in the ground to drill into at this moment!

  Zhu Yuheng used the jade scepter to lift the veil, and Chu Ke saw that both of her sisters-in-law were smiling with their mouths pursed. Even Zhu Yuheng was gazing at her with a deep smile, making her blush bright red as she lowered her head. Next came the sitting on the bed, scattering the silk, and tying the hair, the sisters-in-law recited a string of auspicious words, watching the newlyweds drink the nuptial wine. Only then did they leave.

  Zhu Yichan also stood up, it was his turn to go out and toast: "Ke Qi, sit for a while, I'll go out and toast."

  Chu Ke nodded and remembered that her brother had said he would come today, so she quickly added: "Hui Zhen, look... is my brother here? He said he was coming!"

  Zhu Yichan nodded: "Mm, then I'll go. In a bit...I'll be back."

  Chu Ke's face was red as she nodded, watching him leave before finally letting out a breath. She turned her head to look around and saw two maids standing behind the bed, both of whom were unfamiliar. They must be Zhu Ye Chen's maids. One of them happened to glance at her with a hint of disdain, which Chu Ke caught sight of. The maid quickly looked down again, flustered.

  Chu Xue didn't think much of it and went to the door to take a look, seeing her four personal maids standing at the entrance. Qing Guo even looked up at her and smiled, sticking out her tongue.

  Chu Xue smiled slightly in her heart, from now on she would be living a new life in this new home, even these maids were somewhat excited.

  Zhu Yi Zhen had just arrived at the front yard when a servant brought him a letter, which he felt should be from Zhu Yi Huan. He hastily took it to his study and opened it to read.

  It was indeed written by Zhu Yuhuan. He said that there would be too many people celebrating tonight, and it's inevitable that some of them would recognize him, so it wouldn't be convenient for him to come. He asked them to go to a town called Yu Lin outside the city of Shuozhou on another day, and find a place called Qingyuan.

  Zhu Yuchan hastily tucked away the letter and returned to the new house. As soon as he entered the room, he said to several maids: "All of you get out!"

  Chu Xue saw the anxious look on his face and knew that he must have received news about her brother. After a few maidservants retreated, she hastily asked: "Is it news about my brother?"

  Zhu Yichan shook his head and handed her the letter in his arms: "He has settled down, don't worry, we'll go see him tomorrow." He said again: "I have to leave now, I'll stay for a while... they will laugh at me."

  Smiling and leaving, Chu Kei hastily said a sentence: "Can't drink!"

  Zhu Yichen's voice came in response.

  Chu Kei hurriedly opened the letter and took a look. Her brother had an address now, so she finally felt at ease.

  Zhu Yichan came out and was indeed held back by several good friends, who refused to let go, insisting on making him drink, saying that he had come out late, the bridesmaids had been out for half a day, and what was the groom doing lingering in the room?!

  Fortunately, the concubine was also prepared and would not let her son drink tonight. She found four or five relatives of similar age and instructed them to stop the groom from drinking no matter what today. After today, they would find a day to invite the groom alone to come to the mansion to drink wine.

  Those people were somewhat unwilling, but the imperial concubine's order was unavoidable, and they could only agree. At this time, seeing Zhu Yutong being surrounded by them, they immediately came over to stir up trouble.

  Zhu Yichan wandered around outside for a while and then went back to his new house, no matter what happened.

  As soon as he entered the house, he saw his two maidservants coming in again, and ordered: "You all go out."

  A maid whispered: "Master, the princess of the duke's mansion ordered that the two slaves will serve in the new room tonight."

  "Get out." Zhu Yichen said in a somewhat cold tone.

  The two maidservants exchanged a glance, and another one asked in a low voice: "Do the slaves need to prepare..."

  "Get out!" Zhu Yucheng's voice was a bit louder, and the two maidservants hastily responded with a bow and went out.

  Zhu Yichen followed him out and slammed the door shut in a huff.

  Chu Xue's mouth moved, wanting to ask again, but she had already asked many questions just now. It didn't seem like a shy new bride in the bridal chamber, and now asking endlessly would make Zhu Yuxuan feel strange too. So she lowered her head and remained silent.

  Zhu Yichan came over and sat beside her, softly calling: "Kai Qi."

  Chu Xue raised her head and glanced at him, seeing that he was smiling at her, she couldn't help but blush, and quickly lowered her head again, this time truly feeling shy.

  Zhu Yichan reached out and pulled her into his arms, lifted her chin and kissed her lips urgently, his tongue probing inside after a brief touch on her lips.

  After a while of kissing, his hands couldn't help but caress her body up and down, and he rolled over onto the bed with her in his arms...

  At the height of passion, the maid outside shouted again: "Second Master? Second Master!"

  Zhu Yichan sat up abruptly, about to get angry. He got up fiercely and as a result, he pulled his abdominal wound. He didn't care about the pain in his wound and walked to the outer room. With a 'hiss', he opened the door and shouted loudly: "Is there any discipline at all?!"

  "Second Master! The county princess and concubine are asking for you to go over!" Another maid hastily ran over and reported back.

  Zhu Yicheng was stunned, unable to understand the situation for a moment. He stared blankly for half a day before asking uncertainly: "Is this the past?"

  "Yes, I don't know what urgent matter it is, but the maid from that side has come over several times already."

  Zhu Yichan was stunned and could only turn around and enter the house to say to Chu Keqi: "Keqi, I'll go take a look..."

  "Uh-huh, go quickly! It must be an urgent matter for you to call now!"

  Zhu Yichan nodded and furrowed his brow in doubt, then turned and left.

  Chu Xue also wondered, what urgent matter would make the new official be summoned now? Could it be... something about her brother?

  But the more I think about it, the more I feel that it's possible! Just now, the maid said that not only was the king's wife called, but also the concubine, so it mustn't be a false alarm or someone trying to stir up trouble, there must really be something going on!

  Those two maidservants came in again and stood beside the bed. Chu Ke'er raised her head to take a look, seeing that the eyes of the two maidservants quickly swept around the bed. She felt somewhat annoyed in her heart - these two maidservants had just wanted to attend to the bridal chamber, but now they were making such preparations, clearly intending to make arrangements for a conjugal visit!

  She was a bride today and also new here, so she just remembered the two maidservants in her heart and didn't say anything.

  Two maidservants stood majestically, as if watching the bride. After a while, four more maidservants arrived, and Jing'er and Qingguo walked in, standing at the door. Chu Kui looked at them with a confused expression, obviously no one had called them, and they didn't know how to find their way here.

  Zhu Yi Chen walked along a path outside the courtyard to the front yard, so as not to meet guests. After arriving, the maid saw him from afar and raised the curtain. He quickly ran up and entered the house, only to see Princess De Xing of the county sitting there! His two mothers, Princess De Fu of the county and Concubine De Fu of the county, were accompanying her.

  Zhu Yichan was startled and hastily stepped forward to pay his respects: "Greetings, Princess of the Duke."

  The Princess of De Xing hurriedly said: "Yi Chen, get up. The auspicious day for the wedding is still ahead, don't disturb it."

  The princess of Devonshire hastily smiled and said: "The princess is not so polite, he is a junior, whatever he does is right."

  The concubine also nodded and said, "Yes," she didn't smile, but instead asked anxiously to Zhu Yi Chen: "Yi Chen, what's the best way to deal with the fifth young master of their manor? Do you know where he went?"

  Zhu Yi Zhen was shocked at first glance when he saw the Princess of De Xing County, but now his stunned expression was fake. He stared at her in amazement and asked: "Yi Huan? Isn't he in the mansion?"

  The anxiety of the Princess of De Xing was evident, and the anxious person said: "It's been many days since she returned to the mansion, at first I thought she had gone to the nearby mountains to hunt or play, but...". She paused for a moment and then said: "Hui Zhen, when you went to Beijing to get engaged those few days, did you see Hui Huan?"
