Chapter 1841: Chapter 1779: The Prince Is the Law
Prince Jin’s Mansion, only a two quarters of an hour’s drive from the palace, occupies a vast area and is the largest royal mansion in Beiyan Imperial City. From the Star Picking Tower of the palace, one can see part of the mansion’s scenery, with pavilions, terraces, gardens, lakes, and rockeries laid out grandly, showcasing imperial magnificence.
The front part of the mansion is composed of magnificent halls and residences, while the back part is a serene and delicately maintained classical garden, designed by combining the classical style of Suzhou-Hangzhou gardens with the grand style of Beiyan, making it one of Beiyan’s famous spectacles.
With a light-hearted step, Ah Jiu walked into the mansion under the welcoming of the crowd, learning that Wufu was settled in the main hall named Hall of Joyous Union, she was very satisfied, and walked with even lighter steps.
She has arrived; from now on, she will live with him, and the two can be together day and night, and he will no longer be alone.
Wufu had just arrived in the Capital and had been sitting on the carriage for a long time; she was already tired and rested upon arriving at the mansion.
When Ah Jiu entered the bedroom, she saw her lying on her side facing her direction, looking serene, with a thin blanket covering her waist, breathing evenly.
He walked over, and Wufu didn’t notice, causing a smile to appear on his face.
"Tired out, huh?" Ah Jiu touched her face, his lips curving up.
After thinking for a while, he went out, instructed someone to carry hot water to the cleansing room, washed up, and also laid down beside Wufu.
As soon as he lay down, Wufu uttered a soft sound and instinctively snuggled into his arms.
Ah Jiu, feeling content, embraced her, pulled the blanket to cover both, closed his eyes, inhaled her fragrance, and quickly fell into sleep.
Purple Jade slightly lifted the curtain to take a glance, then put it down and retreated, smiling as she spoke a few words to Yuan Ye.
Yuan Ye, receiving the words, also left the Hall of Joyous Union, explaining to the senior officials and others waiting to present their greetings and report to Ah Jiu: "His Highness has rested, let’s all disperse for now. If there’s anything, let’s talk tomorrow!"
Everyone was taken aback.
"Steward Yuan, His Highness is resting where?" the Senior Official cautiously asked.
Yuan Ye replied mysteriously, "Of course, His Highness is resting in the Hall of Joyous Union."
The Senior Official’s eyes widened, "What, this, this isn’t in accordance with the rules, His Highness hasn’t yet formally married, how can he sleep with the Princess Consort?"
Yuan Ye looked at him with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, saying, "Senior Official, what did you just call the one in the Hall of Joyous Union?"
The Senior Official paused, "Princess Consort?"
"Since you’ve called her Princess Consort, where else would His Highness sleep besides with the Princess Consort?" Yuan Ye chuckled.
The Senior Official was tongue-tied, "But after all, they haven’t formally married, this, this damages decorum, affects the dignity of His Highness, tarnishes the Imperial Family’s face!"
"Senior Official, I’m not afraid to remind you, His Highness and Princess Consort, even without a formal wedding, have already bowed to the heavens and ancestors, witnessed by the Beiyan Ministry of Rites subordinate officials. Bowing in a ceremony is being married, where does this break the rules?" Yuan Ye replied sideways, "Moreover, even if it doesn’t conform to standards, in Prince Jin’s Mansion, His Highness sets the rules. Oh, from today, there are two who set the rules, adding the Princess Consort. Senior Official, His Highness respects and cherishes the Princess Consort deeply; if he hears of this matter, you’d better be careful with the hat on your head."
The Senior Official’s eyes widened, unable to respond.
"Even the Empress Dowager hasn’t said it’s inappropriate, what’s the worry?" Yuan Ye muttered another line and walked out.
The Senior Official nearly spat out a mouthful of blood, was there no dignity left for being a chief official?
Once Yuan Ye stepped out, those present gathered around, gossiping and wondering what to do next.
"What can be done? Just wait!" The Senior Official waved his sleeve, deciding not to bother, after all, their Highness’s marriage was truly unprecedented, where would there be a scenario where a royal marriage happened so hastily?
