Chapter 210: Chapter 153: Wedding Night Pranks

Xiao Chengyi felt dizzy, his entire body seemed to be gnawed by thousands of insects and ants, the pain was overwhelming.

He struggled hard, trying to break free from the servants of the Prince Mansion, shouting angrily, “Let go of this Young General, or else?”

“Or else what?” Someone let out a cold laugh, and then fiercely pinched his thigh.

This sudden sharp pain made Xiao Chengyi groan uncontrollably.

He stumbled, and when dragged to a secluded place, everyone became even more unscrupulous, punching and kicking like a storm, beating him to the brink of fainting.

Watching Xiao Chengyi being helped away in a disheveled state, Jun Moling finally felt a bit relieved.

Today was his grand wedding, yet Xiao Chengyi dared to come and provoke him. Why should he show mercy?

“Prince, today is your happy day, you must drink this cup of wine.”

Minister of War Lord He, who was He Hongying’s father and Xiao Chengyi’s future father-in-law, was now speaking ingratiatingly.

On the other side, the Emperor was leisurely drinking, observing the situation over there.

Due to the arrival of Minister He, several officials also gathered to toast.

On a normal day, they wouldn’t dare to come forward like this, it was evident that the Emperor had arranged it on purpose.

Even if Jun Moling could hold his liquor, he didn’t want to drink much at this moment. Only because in the bridal chamber, his Princess Consort had instructed him not to drink too much, waiting for him.

“I’ll go have a drink with His Majesty, do as you please.” His tone was indifferent, not caring whether he offended anyone.

Minister He was furious at heart, especially seeing the submissive Xiao Chengyi, making him even more furious.

His daughter and Shen Ruoxi were both in second marriages, but Shen Ruoxi dumped Xiao Chengyi to marry into Prince Zhan Mansion, rising to the top at one step.

However, his daughter picked up the “rag” discarded by Shen Ruoxi.

Not to mention Xiao Chengyi’s poor family background, although his salary is not small now, the previous deficits have not been filled, he even thought the betrothal gift for a second marriage need not be much, which irked him.

Looking at Prince Zhan, it is heard that half the Prince Mansion was moved to the Shen Mansion, the Shen family’s dowry stretched a long line on the streets of the Capital City, what an impressive spectacle!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, coupled with Xiao Chengyi’s gaffe at the wedding banquet, it was evident he hadn’t let go of Shen Ruoxi, wouldn’t his daughter suffer grievances this way?

But this was a marriage bestowed by the Emperor, even if he was utterly helpless, he could only accept it reluctantly.

The Emperor, seeing Prince Zhan approaching, looked askance at him, “Is cousin here to have a drink with me?”

Jun Moling smiled slightly, “Your Majesty, I feel I should have a good drink with you, time flies indeed.”

Hearing his sentiment, the Emperor couldn’t help but feel a little emotional.

After all, he spent years at war, indeed owing much in many affairs.

He thought, no matter who he marries, he would fully support, even if she were someone else’s wife, he would help seize her.

However, why must it be Shen Ruoxi?

The heart that he managed to revive was thus ruthlessly pinched off, such a feeling indeed made him extremely uncomfortable.

“I toast to you.”

“Drink!”

Both drank several cups in one go, Jun Moling’s face remained unchanged, his heart not pounding nor his face flushing.

On the contrary, the Emperor swayed unsteadily, unable to stand firm.

Qi Lin, seeing this, was startled.

Jun Moling said coldly, “Aren’t you going to help His Majesty back to the palace?”

“Yes, master.”

Soon, the Emperor left supported by Qi Lin.

The corners of Jun Moling’s mouth curved slightly, thinking to himself, if the Emperor weren’t sent away, who knows how long they would have to wait to leave.

Now, with the obstacle removed, he naturally no longer worried.

Taking advantage of the guests being almost done with drinking, he decided to return to the bridal chamber.

Unfortunately, just a few steps away, he heard his subordinates loudly shouting: “Time to tease the bride and groom.”

Jun Moling glanced fiercely, actually, his subordinates still feared him, but as the saying goes, alcohol emboldens a timid person, a few of them dosed with courage, wanted to follow him into the bridal chamber.

Shen Ruoxi drank a couple of glasses of wine, luckily Chuntao and Xia Lian sensed something was off, forcibly took away her wine, preventing her from getting too drunk.

But her face was already flushed, her head heavy, her reactions a bit sluggish.

The door of the bridal chamber sounded, she heard the clamorous voices, couldn’t help but widen her eyes.

“Prince, unveil the veil.” Nanny Deng smiled.

Jun Moling lifted the veil, instantly stunned by Shen Ruoxi’s blossoming beauty.

Soon, he couldn’t help but chuckle, she urged him not to drink much, yet she seemed to have gotten a bit tipsy.

Most of those who entered the bridal chamber were border city generals, almost all knew Shen Ruoxi.

Yet at this moment, they were still awed by her mesmerizing beauty.

“Cross-cupped wine.”

Someone started the uproar.

Jun Moling knew well if she drank more, she would certainly be drunk.

So, he quickly drank down both cups, blocking everyone’s view with his body, and then gently transferred a sip of wine into her mouth.

Everyone wanted to come up and get a closer look, but were firmly pinned on the table by Mi Yi, preventing them from getting closer.

“These are dates, longans, lotus seeds, peanuts, symbolizing the blessing of a soon-to-born noble son, everyone can throw some on the bride and groom.” Nanny Deng said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, regardless of Prince’s anger or not, everyone quickly grabbed a handful of three or five, threw them over.

Jun Moling watched coldly as those items were thrown over, hurriedly shielding Shen Ruoxi.

Nanny Deng helplessly said, “Prince, please step aside, these items need to land on the Princess Consort, it symbolizes the blessing of a soon-to-born noble son.”

Jun Moling felt deeply conflicted at the moment, wanting to give this beautiful blessing to his own Princess Consort, yet worried these items might accidentally hit her.

Shen Ruoxi, though feeling dizzy, was still clear-headed.

During this time, she was very quiet, seeing Jun Moling slightly step aside, a few symbols of a soon-to-born noble son fell onto her.

Suddenly, a date hit her head with a “thud,” even causing a bit of pain, this made her eyes redden with grievance.

Jun Moling now got angry, fiercely glancing at the culprit.

Nanny Deng originally wanted to say it was inauspicious, but seeing the Prince really seemed a bit displeased, quickly told the generals, “Generals, it’s on the Princess Consort now, please retreat!”

They wanted to have a good time, but the pressure from the Prince was too great, leaving them no courage, had to say blessing words and leave one by one.

The serving maidservants and nannies also covered their mouths, laughing as they exited the bridal chamber.

The door of the bridal chamber closed tightly, leaving only Shen Ruoxi and Jun Moling inside.

“My lady.” Jun Moling called softly with affection.

Shen Ruoxi, having drunk, felt incredibly fragile at this moment, the grievance she held for so long suddenly broke out like a dam burst, “This is for you, keep it well, you won’t find it if you lose it.”

She, with a hint of venting her resentment, stuffed a small box into Jun Moling’s hand.

Jun Moling paused for a moment, instantly understanding why she was drinking alone in the bridal chamber, his mood suddenly turned quite good, chuckling, “Didn’t you open it to take a look?”

“Your things, I am not qualified to open, nor do I want to open, don’t forget our previous agreement.” Shen Ruoxi said sulkily.

The corners of Jun Moling’s mouth lifted into a smile, patiently coaxing, “Come, open it yourself and see.”

An inexplicable grievance suddenly filled Shen Ruoxi’s heart, she bit her lip, “My precious stuff, I won’t look at it? You take it away.”

“How will you know what’s inside if you don’t look? Be good, open it yourself.” Jun Moling continued to smile brightly.

“No.” Shen Ruoxi stubbornly insisted.

She had to admit she was a coward, she didn’t dare to look at the precious object given by another woman, she felt she couldn’t bear it, her heart was sour and extremely uncomfortable.

Jun Moling firmly grasped her hand, placed it on the small box, softly said, “Ruoxi, I think you really want to know what’s inside, shall we open it together?”
