Chapter 137 Some are happy and some are sad
It’s hard to say whether the others drank too much, but the prince, Dugu Xin and Li Chu were definitely drunk.
Putting aside other things, it is a marriage between two families, a happy event. People who are considerate come over to toast and say some words of blessing.
For example, Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao are a match made in heaven, and I wish them a long and happy life together.
Li Chu was also genuinely happy. Although he was forced to marry Cui Caiping, it did not affect him much. The main thing was that he could marry Jingyao as his princess, which was worth being happy about, so he did not deliberately control his drinking.
After being granted the marriage, Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao no longer had to flirt with each other secretly, but could stand side by side openly.
Even Dugu Jingyao drank a lot in the end.
Looking at the two standing together, Cui Caiping felt it was really dazzling, so she left first after the emperor and Yang Guifei left, saying she was feeling uncomfortable.
Except for a few young ladies from aristocratic families who occasionally ridiculed Cui Caiping behind her back because she looked down on them because her eyes were too high on her head, no one else talked too much about the arranged marriage of Cui Caiping. Although it was an arranged marriage, and it was to Li Chu, there was still a big difference between a wife and a concubine, so only a few people occasionally congratulated Cui Caiping's parents and Yang Guozhong.
When the banquet ended and everyone dispersed to return home, the Crown Princess said to Dugu Jingyao and Wei Jiayan as she passed by them, "You should pack up well at the inn tomorrow. Those who need to go to the palace should go to the palace, and those who need to go to Chu'er's residence should go to Chu'er's residence. Don't stay at the inn anymore. It's uncomfortable."
A few sober people agreed hastily and returned to the inn with their families.
This night can be said to be a mixture of joy and sorrow!
Others either received rewards from the emperor and were constantly admiring and delighted, or they saw the world and spent the night in high spirits.
However, the Cui family was in an uproar. Except for the zither given by the emperor, Cui Caiping basically smashed everything that could be thrown, but she still didn't feel satisfied.
But Cui Caiping had one good thing: no matter how angry or spoiled she was, she would never hit her servants. At most, she would just scold them.
When Cui Caiping's mother came over, she saw broken porcelain pieces all over the floor before she even entered the door. Just as she was about to go in, another bottle hit her. Fortunately, it was still some distance away from Mrs. Wei, otherwise the broken porcelain pieces would have splashed on her.
Mrs. Wei felt sorry for Cui Caiping. After all, she was raised in the palm of her hand. Although she had several sons, she was the only legitimate daughter. As a result, she was married off to become a concubine by the emperor in public, and the emperor couldn't object!
So even though the porcelain was smashed to pieces, Madam Wei did not say anything to Cui Caiping. Instead, she found a place to stand and walked over to Cui Caiping and said, "My son, you have such a miserable life!"
Cui Caiping felt even more wronged after hearing what Madam Wei said. She could no longer hold back her tears and started to fall. "Mother, am I not beautiful? Or am I not good enough? Why can't His Highness see me?"
Madam Wei's eyes flashed with a dark light as she said, "Don't worry, my son. The Emperor has already granted the marriage. Although Princess Yi'an is the princess, this is just the beginning. Who will have the last laugh is still uncertain! Don't be discouraged!"
After hearing what Madam Wei said, Cui Caiping gradually calmed down and stopped crying. "Mother is right. I will not give up. I will definitely be the one who stays by His Highness' side."
When Mrs. Wei heard what Cui Caiping said, she felt relieved. She asked someone to clean up the things on the ground, and then asked someone to prepare a hot bath for Cui Caiping so that she could have a comfortable sleep.
Mrs. Wei even said jokingly, "Okay, Ping'er, don't think about it anymore. Look at you, you've cried like a little kitten! Go wash up!"
Cui Caiping quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped it roughly: "Ah? Is it ugly? Feicui, help me take a look!"
Then Feicui helped her go to the bathroom to wash and take a bath. Mrs. Wei watched her daughter wash up and went back.
Sure enough, after taking a hot bath, Cui Caiping felt much better and slept well all night without any dreams.
Both Dugu Jingyao in the inn and Li Chu in the Guangping Palace had a sweet dream, in which they dreamt of their wedding and the bridal chamber...
Li Chu slept with a gentle smile on his face half of the time, while Dugu Jingyao blushed a little. After all, in the previous life, after Dugu Jingyao married Li Chu, the two either slept in the same clothes or in different rooms, and there was basically no scene of... (you know what I mean).
