Chapter 1679 -1672: Wedding Night, Staying by His Side

Zuo Qingqing completed the ceremony and was carried horizontally by Chu Yifeng. Treasuring her like a gem, he took her into the bridal chamber. Before leaving, she intentionally tilted her head, letting the veil fall and revealing her beautiful face, drawing gasps of admiration from the guests.

She wanted to relish the envy and jealousy of all the women present.

At this moment, her vanity was greatly satisfied.

Especially because, she saw Rong Sheng!

Rong Sheng was actually crying!

There were still traces of tears at the corners of her eyes.

An intense sense of satisfaction spread in Zuo Qingqing’s heart. As Chu Yifeng was about to carry her into the bridal chamber, she held onto his arm and said coquettishly, “Hubby, I want to drink with you, don’t be in such a hurry to the bridal chamber, alright?”

Her call of ‘hubby’ was like fireworks exploding in Chu Yifeng’s head, leaving him momentarily blank.

Chu Yifeng moved his lips and with a husky voice replied, “Okay… okay.”

He was so thrilled that he didn’t know how to control himself anymore.

He had dreamt for many years of marrying his senior sister and making her his wife, to hear her softly call him hubby.

He finally… heard it!

He and Zuo Qingqing toasted with the guests, and the previous ominous atmosphere gradually infused with genuine joy and festivity due to his happiness.

Zuo Qingqing leaned close to him, their mutual affection envied by others. Even those who knew the truth, like the people from the Marquis of Martial South’s Manor, couldn’t help but be moved by the scene.

Su Chenyang hadn’t fully healed, yet upon hearing that Chu Xi had arrived, he pleaded with his parents to bring him to the feast.

Su Chenyang saw Chu Xi sitting behind Rong Sheng, looking quite desolate, and couldn’t help wanting to comfort her.

He took out a handkerchief from his bosom, entrusted a servant to hand it to Chu Xi.

Chu Xi opened the handkerchief to find a tender rose blossom inside, adorned with fresh morning dew, so beautifully delicate and soft it touched the heart.

Chu Xi couldn’t help but look around.

She quickly found Su Chenyang, and the moment their gazes met, Su Chenyang’s smile was like warm sunshine, melting her heart.

The flower he sent was silent, yet Chu Xi seemed to hear his inner voice: Princess, take comfort, I am here.

Whenever, he was always there.

Warmth swelled in Chu Xi’s heart, she carefully folded the handkerchief and tucked it into her bosom, her expression not appearing as pained as before.

Su Chenyang saw this and smiled downwards, even the wound on his chest didn’t hurt anymore.

How wonderful.

His princess cherished herself.

He wished, the princess a lifetime of peace and health.

Overjoyed, Chu Yifeng drank excessively, having a great time at the ghost market.

The court officials naturally were entertained by the Zuo family. Zuo Qingqing, who was supposed to toast with dignified ladies, deliberately approached Rong Sheng.

Noticing the empty wine glasses in front of Rong Sheng and her mother, she raised her delicate hand and personally filled their glasses.

Rong Sheng watched her actions and said expressionlessly, “I don’t drink, there’s no need for this extra gesture.”

“How could you not drink this glass of wine?” Zuo Qingqing feigned shyness, raising the glass to toast Rong Sheng, “This is our wedding wine! Rong Sheng, aren’t you heartbroken, aren’t you jealous?”

“You used to be so high and aloof, detached from worldly affairs, yet before Afeng, you still had to bow!

My maid mentioned you even bowed to the Imperial Consort Shu and the late emperor earlier, but did it work?

It’s me who bows with Afeng, as husband and wife! Not you!”

Zuo Qingqing brought the wine glass closer to Rong Sheng’s mouth, a sinister smile on her face, “Rong Sheng, with you crying like this, I don’t believe you’re not jealous!”

Rong Sheng never hid her feelings, she wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, staring directly at Zuo Qingqing with clarity, just like in the past, “Why would I be jealous of you?”

“Why?” Zuo Qingqing’s voice became sharp, “I married Afeng, Afeng has given me the best of everything in the world! He even knelt with me as husband and wife!

I am the woman he loves the most!

Rong Sheng, you can’t bear to part with Afeng either, right? Why shouldn’t you be jealous of me?”

“I love him, I can’t bear to leave him, but who are you?” Rong Sheng’s tone was calm, “Stealing from me, flaunting in front of me?”

She is unworthy.

Rong Sheng has always been open, but in her eyes was jealousy, and also envy.

But the object of her envy and jealousy was never Zuo Qingqing.

She could see clearly that what Afeng loved was his senior sister who had long been pampered by him, yet unknowingly, it was still Rong Sheng.

Rong Sheng didn’t pay attention to Zuo Qingqing, not even when Zuo Qingqing splashed a glass of wine in her face, her expression didn’t change.

“Mother!”

Chu Xi took out a handkerchief to wipe the wine stains from Rong Sheng’s face, a fierce aura erupting from her eyes, making her want to draw her mended Silver Dragon Dagger.

Rong Sheng held her hand, settling her back into the seat, “Xi’er, don’t get tangled with people who aren’t worth it.”

Zuo Qingqing, was never their match for her and her mother.

“Rong Sheng, you…”

Zuo Qingqing raised her hand, about to strike Rong Sheng.

Chu Yifeng hurried over, “Senior sister, what’s wrong?”

His eyes filled with concern for Zuo Qingqing.

He feared she’d be upset.

Zuo Qingqing wanted to disgust Rong Sheng, deliberately getting close to Chu Yifeng in front of everyone, placing her red lips onto his cheek.

Chu Yifeng suddenly blushed, “You… what are you doing?”

“Kissing you!”

Zuo Qingqing’s eyes were filled with infatuation, thinking Chu Yifeng would be very moved.

Wasn’t he always wanting to be close to her, to have her?

Indeed, Chu Yifeng felt a wave of emotion, how he longed for her to initiate a kiss with him?

But when she actually kissed him, when her breath touched his nostrils, he suddenly felt uncomfortable all over.

“Let’s go back.”

Chu Yifeng couldn’t express such feelings publicly, only able to lead Zuo Qingqing away.

He still carried her back.

Watching Chu Yifeng’s back, the envy in Rong Sheng’s eyes grew stronger.

Careful as she was, how could she not see that Chu Yifeng was shy just now?

She never took the initiative to kiss him, every time she made the first move toward him, if not poisoning him, she planned to harm him, to strip his defenses so she could escape from his side.

He clearly knew, yet every time, he still let her harm him.

So he loved so deeply, yearning for her to take the initiative just once.

“Afeng.”

Rong Sheng whispered softly.

Only when standing outside the situation could she clearly see how much he truly loved her and how devoutly he had hoped.

As the feast dissipated, Chu Heng and Chu Jinling left.

Before they departed, they asked Rong Sheng if she wanted to leave with them.

Rong Sheng shook her head, “Tonight I’m here, keeping watch over him.”

“Keeping watch over him?”

Chu Heng and Chu Jinling showed identical expressions of surprise.

Tonight was the bridal chamber night for Chu Yifeng and Zuo Qingqing.

Wouldn’t watching over be a bit… uncomfortable?

“I’m alright, thank you for your concern, Your Highness.” Rong Sheng’s face remained cool.
