Chapter 609: The Foolish Woman Who Fakes Her Death for a Man (6)
Without Shuangshuang's instructions, Cuilan took out a big red envelope from her sleeve pocket and handed it to the matchmaker.
After accepting it and thanking her again, the bridesmaid looked at Shuangshuang meaningfully before leaving.
Cuilan quickly took off the phoenix crown on Shuangshuang's head and helped her to wash up the next day.
As for Li Xiangyu, he is happy to handle these things.
After the two of them changed into bright red pajamas and sat on the bed, Xile and Cuilan both bowed.
"The slaves retire."
After everyone left, Li Xiangyu couldn't wait to hug Shuangshuang and rub against her.
"Shuangshuang sister, I feel so bad!
Both of them were surprised and turned to look at his flushed face.
"Little Orange, what's wrong with him?"
Little Orange laughed so hard she could barely contain her laughter. "The Queen was worried that Li Xiangyu wouldn't be able to succeed, so she specially had someone put some aphrodisiac in the wedding wine."
Shuangshuang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. The queen was also worried about her son.
It's just that he also drank the drugged wine, so he got angry when Li Xiangyu rubbed him.
A night of waves overturning the red quilt proved to the queen that her son was only mentally impaired, but his physical strength was not compromised at all.
This commotion made Xile outside so happy that she bowed towards the sky.
"Thanks to the Three Pure Ones for their blessings. My prince has finally grown up."
The one who is completely different from him is naturally Cuilan.
As the noise inside grew louder, Cuilan's brows furrowed more and more.
I couldn't help but secretly despise Li Xiangyu in my heart for being so rude despite being such a big guy.
How could my delicate princess tolerate his lack of restraint? "
The more I thought about it, the more worried I became, and I raised my hand to push the door open and go in.
Fortunately, Xile was paying attention and stopped him.
"Oh my goodness, my ancestor.
How dare you interrupt the prince and princess' wedding night? How many heads have you let the queen chop off?"
Cuilan paused and realized that what Xile said made sense.
But now she didn't want to pay any attention to him, so she waved him away and didn't say anything about having to go in.
The next morning, Nanny Yan Xi came in, took the Yuanpa on the bed, and went to congratulate the queen happily.
The emperor was absent-minded during court today. He left court early and went to Fengyi Palace to wait for his son and daughter-in-law to come and serve him tea.
The queen was in a good mood and didn't blame her for being an eyesore in her presence.
This made the emperor feel relieved, and he just stayed in the side room at night.
If this were to be discovered in broad daylight, it would be too embarrassing for the Queen to kick him out.
Shuangshuang and Li Xiangyu entered Fengyi Palace together, where the empress and the emperor were sitting at the top.
Whenever the queen thought that she would soon have a grandson, a few more wrinkles appeared on her face.
The emperor's secret guards are spread throughout the palace, so they naturally know the queen's plan, but he will not stop her.
After all, my son is in this state now, and I don’t have to worry about him anymore if I have a grandson.
After the couple offered tea to the emperor and empress, the emperor sat there for a while and gave them many rewards. Then he was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Xiangyu.
"Father, is it time to build my palace?"
Because of Li Xiangyu's previous condition, the Queen was really worried about him living alone outside the palace, so she didn't build a palace for him outside the palace.
It was okay before, but now Li Xiangyu feels that it is too troublesome to get permission from so-and-so if he wants to go out of the palace to play.
Therefore, he wanted to live outside the palace so that he and Shuangshuang could go out and play at any time.
The emperor glanced at the queen, and seeing that she had no intention of speaking, he had no choice but to ask himself.
"Why do you want to live outside the palace for no reason?"
"This way, my sister Shuangshuang and I can go out and play whenever we want."
Li Xiangyu answered with confidence.
The emperor looked at the queen again and saw that she just smiled and did not stop him, so he had to agree.
"Okay, in that case, I'll give you the former Grand Princess's Mansion.
But we still have to wait for some time. I will order the Ministry of Works to renovate the house shortly."
"Thank you, Father, but I need to watch it myself, otherwise it will not be to my liking."
The emperor naturally would not refuse such a small matter. In fact, he was very happy to see his son so happy.
Isn’t it said that the emperor’s thoughts are so difficult to guess?
In the past, he only had the third prince in his heart and devoted himself to cultivating him.
For his eldest son Li Xiangyu, if it weren't for the Queen's cold face, forcing him to be a loving father who dotes on his children.
I guess he can just ignore him like he did to the second prince.
But as he grew older, he became more annoyed with the Third Prince who was obsessed with his position.
On the contrary, he developed some genuine feelings for the eldest prince, a naive and innocent son who would come to him to act coquettishly and ask for favors from time to time.
The queen didn't say anything, just smiled as she watched her son ask the emperor for favors.
It was not until the emperor walked away that he looked at the senior palace maid.
The head palace maid understood and gently led the other palace maids out of the hall.
The Queen then took Shuangshuang's hand and patted it, "Good child, I'm sorry for putting you through this."
Shuangshuang naturally knew that the queen was being deliberately modest.
It’s the same for mothers. No matter what kind of sons they have, they can say what they like, but they must never despise their daughters-in-law.
She quickly lowered her head and pretended to be shy, and glanced at Li Xiangyu secretly.
"The queen is in a serious condition, but the prince...he is fine."
At the end, the sound was as soft as a mosquito or fly, which made the queen blush even more.
While Li Xiangyu was distracted by the new good thing, he whispered in Shuangshuang's ears.
"Don't worry, as long as my wish is fulfilled, I will never stop you if you want to divorce me."
Both shook their heads, "Your Majesty, you misunderstood. Marrying the prince was my daughter-in-law's choice.
I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I say this, but after the third prince's intrigue and frame-up.
The daughter-in-law now feels that simply getting along with the prince is what life is all about."
"Good good!"
Shuangshuang's words completely pleased the queen, and she held Shuangshuang's hand tightly and refused to let go.
"I knew you were a good person!
Don't worry, I promise you that as long as you can give birth to a grandson for me, you will have great blessings in the future!"
Shuangshuang just smiled and said nothing. She believed what the queen said, but she would never believe it completely. She still had to rely on herself to fight for it.
As for forming an alliance with her, it was a decision made after weighing the pros and cons.
Ten years ago, the Queen Mother kept the Queen by her side to take care of her illness when the eldest prince was seriously ill.
By the time she got the news and rushed over, the eldest prince's IQ had forever remained at that moment.
Coincidentally, the Queen Mother passed away ten days later without any medical help.
At that time, the people in Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion did not believe it and kept saying that the empress dowager was in good health, and insisted that the emperor conduct a thorough investigation.
However, the emperor could not find any reason after searching for a long time.
Five years ago, the Beiyun Kingdom suddenly launched an attack and seized three cities from Daqing.
For some unknown reason, the movement died down again.
However, he insisted that Daqing send its eldest princess to marry him, and was willing to use the three cities as betrothal gifts.
At that time, besides the eldest princess, there was also the second princess who had grown up.
But what is strange is that his Beiyun Kingdom directly named the Grand Princess.
In addition, the imperial concubine whispered in the emperor's ears, and the dog emperor, who was originally a little shaken by the insistence of the generals in the court on not marrying, directly issued an imperial decree.
