White Hedge Dream

Chapter 271 Necessary

He knew it was a fake marriage.

Just like the fake marriage between Bai Li and Zhou Jingyun.

In fact, the ceremony does not need to be so complicated, which is not what Baili thinks it must be.

The emperor wouldn't mind, but the simple ceremony would please Princess Jinyu.

But he didn't want to.

The marriage is fake, but he and she are real.

He didn't want to do anything half-heartedly.

Just now he listened to Bai Li talk about the process of getting married to Zhou Jingyun, and it ended after not much talk. He felt that it was necessary for him to hold a grand wedding. At least Bai Li would have a lot to talk about when he recalled this time in the future.

He looked at the person sleeping next to the pillow.

The night light was dim, and the touch under his hands suddenly became cold.

That's not skin, it's mirror surface.

Bai Li was not lying next to him, but separated by a mirror.

Li Yu looked at the mirror. Against the red background, the mirror also turned red.

He was dreaming.

It turns out he fell asleep too.

Li Yu smiled slightly. The face of the person lying in the mirror became blurred, and then became clear again. The face placed on his hand across the mirror was still the familiar white fence, while the left side of the face against the pillow was another familiar one. People, Empress Chiang Kai-shek.

The smile on Li Yu's face was stagnant, but he didn't panic. He just looked at the person in the mirror quietly.

…

…

Li Yu was actually not surprised that Empress Chiang was still there.

When Bai Li told him to wake up before, he was worried and wanted to look in the mirror while sleeping, but unfortunately he never could.

Unexpectedly, I saw it today, the night of the wedding.

Seeing Bai Li who said he had woken up, he still had two faces.

It seems that Bai Li has indeed woken up, but Empress Jiang has not completely dissipated.

Yes, Empress Chiang is such a powerful person, how can he dissipate just by Zhou Jingyun stabbing himself?

It doesn't matter.

And him.

He married A Li just to deal with Empress Chiang.

He would let A Li get rid of this ghost Empress Chiang completely.

Li Yu looked at Bai Li in the mirror and gently touched her right face again through the mirror...

The left eye in the mirror suddenly opened, looking at him, half of the cherry lips curled into a smile.

"The young groom."

A female voice called in my ear.

Although it was not the first time he saw her, when he suddenly saw her speaking, Li Yu let out a low cry and subconsciously stepped back. The mirror in his sight shattered. The next moment there was a bang, and his wrist hurt.

"What's wrong?"

Bai Li's voice came.

Li Yu opened his eyes, his vision was dim and red. He was sleeping on the wedding bed, and there was no white fence around him.

He raised his head and saw Bai Li sitting in front of the dressing table and turning around.

Is it a dream now, or was it a dream before?

Is there a white fence in front of me, or...

"Are you dreaming?" Bai Li noticed something was wrong with him, picked up the water glass, dipped it in the water, and flicked his finger.

Li Yu was slightly startled when water droplets splashed on his face, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

It's a white fence, it was a dream before.

But I felt a little regretful.

He didn't sleep with A Li.

He touched his right hand which was on the edge of the bed.

"Why did I fall asleep?" he said.

Since when did you fall asleep?

Bai Li's voice came to his ears.

"...You were exhausted and dozed off while eating. I persuaded you to go to bed and fell asleep as soon as you lay down."

Li Yu was a little annoyed: "It's because I drank! It's all their fault that they made me drink! I said I won't drink, I won't drink tonight, but I was still forced to drink a few drinks."

Bai Li smiled: "I'm still too tired. I just sat down, but you have been tortured all day."

He poured the water again and handed it over.

"Drink some water and go to sleep."

He said and smiled again.

"Let go and sleep. With such a big bed, you can still touch your hands."

Li Yu took the tea cup and thanked him, and said with a smile: "It means I shouldn't sleep yet, I didn't sleep well."

He hesitated.

"Tell me, what was it like when you and the Crown Prince got married?"

Bai Li said with a smile: "Ours really has nothing to say, it's not so lively. We hurriedly went through the general procedures and went to say goodbye to Zhuang Feizi on the wedding night."

Speaking of Zhuang Feizi, there was no need to continue this topic. He didn't want Ali to be sad.

"He helped you last time, you help me this time." Li Yu said with a smile, changing the topic.

Bai Li smiled: "We all help each other."

The door of the house rang softly, and Chunyue's voice came from outside.

"Madam," she said softly, "Mrs. Zhuang said everything is packed and my daughter is asleep. You can go over."

Bai Li then looked at Li Yu: "Ask your people, has it been cleaned up here and is there no prying eyes?"

Li Yu held the teacup and remembered, yes, they had long been "husband and wife" to the outside world, and they had a child. The child was still young, so it was natural for the wife to sleep with the child. She and he don't need to be in the same room to prove anything, because they already have children, which proves everything.

"No need to ask, it will be cleaned up before the wedding." Li Yuxiao said, "We can do whatever we want in this courtyard."

Bai Li said hello: "Then I'll go over." He also warned, "Go to bed early. I'm tired today. I'll be even more tired tomorrow when I see my parents."

Li Yu smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I will definitely be energetic."

Bai Li smiled at him again and followed Chun Yue out.

"...Have you found my book?"

"It has been placed beside my wife's bedside."

The two people whispered, and as the door closed, silence returned inside and outside.

Li Yu sat quietly for a moment holding the tea cup.

He drank the water in one gulp and lay on the red quilt with open hands.

It was all a fake marriage, he was different from Zhou Jingyun.

I hope it will continue to be different in the future.

For example, Ah Li will not leave him.

So, sleep well and be energetic, everything is just beginning.

…

…

The sky was bright and Mrs. Dongyang Hou was rubbing her forehead.

Mother Xu took the ginseng soup from the maid.

"Madam, didn't you sleep well last night?" she said, and then complained, "Madam just went to the wedding banquet to sit there, why did she still drink?"

Mrs. Dongyang Hou snorted: "I have never drunk Wangfu's wine. I am curious and want to try it."

Xu's mother suppressed her laughter and lowered her voice: "The prince has been up early and is stretching his muscles in the yard."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou snorted again: "Then he can't sleep, so he might as well get up."

He said and looked at the sky outside.

"At this time, King Chu and Princess..."

She emphasized the word princess.

"...It's time to go to Princess Jinyu's mansion."

The King of Chu was rescued and raised by Princess Jinyu, and should be respected as his mother.

But the princess was extremely dissatisfied with King Chu's marriage and didn't know what the scene would be like today.

Mrs. Dongyanghou sat up straight.

"Hurry up and ask someone to find out."

Xu's mother was a little helpless: "Madam, why are you asking about this?"

Although she is said to be a prince and princess, this can be regarded as a family affair. Why is Madam suddenly interested in this?

"With an elder like the princess, it is difficult for any new daughter-in-law to deal with. You don't need to see her to know that."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou curled her lips: "That's natural."

It's hard to find a good mother-in-law like her.

Bai Li, please have a good look at what a real evil mother-in-law is.

…

…

There were many people waiting outside the Princess Mansion to watch the excitement, but unexpectedly when King Chu's carriage came, the door opened, and the slaves of the Princess Mansion stood respectfully outside to greet them.

"The princess didn't embarrass the King of Chu and his wife?"

"Princess, has she forgiven King Chu? Accepted it?"

"Princess Jinyu has really changed her appearance now."

In the princess's palace, two staff looked at the gloomy-looking Princess Jinyu and respectfully comforted her.

"If you don't let them in, everyone will say you are harsh, princess."

"The princess's harshness needs to be known to Prince Chu and his wife, not to the world."

Princess Jinyu waved her hand to interrupt them: "I understand, no need to say anything."

The staff breathed a sigh of relief and told the chamberlains to "invite the prince-in-law to come in."

The chamberlains responded and let Shangguan's consort, who was waiting outside the door, come in.

Shangguan's consort sat down beside Princess Jinyu with a calm expression.

"The gifts are ready," he said. "Would the princess want to take a look?"

Princess Jinyu said coldly: "No, the prince-in-law must have prepared very decently."

Shangguan's consort smiled and said nothing.

The waiter outside the door shouted, "The King of Chu is here."

Accompanied by the invitation, Li Yu came slowly in a formal dress, followed by a young woman.

Princess Jinyu's eyes fell on her instantly. She actually didn't want to look at her at first. A maid was not worth a second glance.

But maybe that red dress was too dazzling, so she looked over unconsciously.

When I saw the woman's face, her brows and eyes were smiling, like peonies in full bloom.

peony! Princess Jinyu froze, how could she think of this flower on a maid.

And she hates peonies the most!

Empress Chiang loved peonies. In order to please Empress Chiang, she personally served peonies.

It's so hard to grow flowers. Those flower branches cut her hands, the soil soiled her clothes, and the flowers that should have been stepped on by her feet were held in her hands... It was really disgusting!

Why do you think of peonies at first glance? This shows how disgusting this maid is!

The anger she had suppressed after being comforted by her staff emerged.

"Kneel down!" she shouted.

Li Yu, who had just reached the hall door, paused, grabbed Bai Li's wrist the next moment, turned around and left.

Princess Jinyu was furious: "Stop!"
