nty of staff and capable guards.""Well, father told me to do as you say. After the wake is over, we'll set off.""Miss, this is exactly what I wanted to tell you."Wu Zhong said with a furrowed brow."Yo...If Meng Lianyi, the true owner, insists on taking this medicinal soup for a month, she will definitely become pregnant. However, after pregnancy, she will become a vessel for nourishing the child, consuming her own essence and blood to raise the child. When the child is born, she will be exhausted.

Ripple's eyes narrowed, then she reached up and touched the cluster of flowers on her hair bun. The cluster trembled, and immediately transmitted a voice:

"Master, this is the emperor's will."

"I never expected that. I thought it would be the Queen's meaning."

Ripple chuckled, but after a moment's thought, she understood the emperor's meaning.

"Master, the Emperor wants you to make your greatest contribution."

If he thinks that way, then I'll do it his way. I just hope he doesn't regret it.

Ripples said faintly.

Next, the Yunjin Garden where Lian Yi resided became the most bustling place. People came and went every day. Officials from the Ministry of Rites, personnel from the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, and palace maids sent by the Empress were all busy preparing for the prince's wedding. Because Lian Yi had a weak constitution as an excuse, she was paradoxically the most relaxed person.

During this time, Lian Yi also specially sent a message to General Meng at the border through Grandmother Sun. As she was now living as someone else's daughter, she naturally had to fulfill her duties as a daughter. After reporting her well-being, she quietly waited for the wedding day.

Of course, the ripples General Meng's family letter had to go through rigorous review. Only after confirming it was just an ordinary letter of well-being was it allowed to be sent out.

On her wedding day, Lian'i got up at the third watch of the night. Under the service of numerous female officials and palace maids, she washed, dressed, and donned the phoenix crown and scarlet robe representing the Crown Princess. She covered herself with a red veil embroidered with gold phoenixes, quietly awaiting the arrival of the prince.

All day long, Lian'er basically walked through the motions with her eyes closed. The female officials from the Ministry of Rites around her made her kneel when they said so, and walk when they said so. She was very cooperative, which made the entire wedding ceremony go smoothly.

By the second half of the ceremony, Lian Yi was already getting impatient. She feigned weakness, leaning her entire weight on the two female attendants flanking her, making them exhausted as well. This gave her a deeper understanding of the Crown Princess's delicate constitution, realizing even the wedding procession was this difficult to endure.

By the time Liang Yi was finally helped into the East Palace, Liang Yi fainted directly.

Lánzhī and Sun Mamā, along with four palace maids, were all startled. They hurriedly lifted the person onto a raised bed covered in red silk sheets, and immediately sent for the imperial physician.

When all the palace maids had left, Lian Yi finally sat up and said to Lan Zhi and Sun Mamama, who were both looking at her in surprise:

"Please help me take this phoenix crown off my head. If I keep wearing it, my neck will break."

Yes, Your Highness!

Lan Zhi hurriedly replied and was about to lift the veil.

"No!"

Grandmother Sun immediately stopped her.

"Grandma"

Even Lancy didn't know who to listen to.

"The crown prince hasn't lifted the veil yet, it's inauspicious if the young princess bride lifts it herself."

Grandma Sun could only patiently explain.

"Princess Consort, just bear with it a little longer."

As soon as Lan Zhi heard this, she immediately turned her head to comfort Lian Yi.

"Take it off for now, let me rest for a bit. When the Prince arrives, someone will surely tell us, and you can put it back on then."

Ripples waved goodbye.

"This is!"

Grandma Sun finally compromised because she saw impatience on the other person's face.

Just at this time, Dr. Liang arrived. Seeing the crownless Crown Princess, Grandmother Sun immediately said:

The crown princess felt dizzy and short of breath, so she took off her phoenix crown. The imperial physician first checked the crown princess's pulse to see if there was anything serious.

Dr. Liang pretended not to see anything, only feeling Lian Yi's pulse through the red bed curtain and then said:

"The Crown Princess is fine, she's just a little tired. She just needs to rest for a while and doesn't need any medicine."

"Thank you, Dr. Liang. I'll have to trouble you with another trip today."

The ripples feigned weakness, he said.

"This is my duty."

Since it was confirmed that the ripples were fine, Dr. Liang left quickly.

It was just news that he had come to the East Palace to check Lian Yi's pulse. Both the Emperor and Empress knew about it. Knowing that Lian Yi was fine, the two didn't say much. In short, all they cared about was that the Crown Prince's marriage went smoothly.

In the inner chamber, after removing the heavy and ostentatious phoenix crown, she put on another performance, dismissing Doctor Liang before twisting her neck and sitting down at the table. She ate some snacks laid out for her, then meticulously re-placed the crown upon her head and sat quietly on the red dais bed.

The Crown Prince, of course, received the news that Lian Yi had fainted. He frowned and finally dismissed the officials who were endlessly toasting him, taking his personal eunuch back to the East Palace.

The prince watched, waiting for his bride on the bed. His steps faltered before he waved Full Fortune away. He walked up to Lian Yi and with a golden scale, lifted her red veil. A face that was slightly pale but undeniably beautiful came into view.

Ripples received Doudou's live broadcast throughout the whole process, so at this time she pretended to be shyly raised her eyes and glanced at the prince, then as if struck by electricity, she retracted her gaze, and then whispered:

"Your Highness!"

The Crown Prince was clearly pleased with Lianyi's performance, and immediately reached out and said:

"My lady, let us drink a cup of wedding wine together!"

This seemingly ordinary term of address for a wife sent shivers down Ripples' spine, but she still shyly placed her delicate hand into the other's broad palm, giving an expression that said "I do whatever you say."

This pleased the Crown Prince greatly with Lian Yi's obedience. He gently drank the wedding wine and personally removed the phoenix crown from her head. Then, to Lian Yi’s surprise, he scooped her up in his arms and placed her on the red bridal bed.

Then there was no more, Duo Duo had already entangled the prince, giving him a spring dream. All that could be heard from the bedroom were his little whimpers.

Originally, Lianyi wanted to kick the other person off the bed with one foot. However, considering that there were palace maids and eunuchs waiting outside, if someone saw it, it would be bad, so she lowered the bed curtain after throwing the other person to the foot of the bed. She then covered herself with the quilt and slept soundly.

I slept soundly until the sky was bright. Outside my door, I heard the muffled voice of Eunuch Quan Fu:

"It's getting late. The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess still have to pay their respects to the Empress."

"Master, please wait a moment. The two masters slept late last night."

Grandma Sun immediately stepped forward and lowered her voice, saying.

“This”

Ripple had already put on her pajamas and placed the prince in a suitable position. She then announced:

"Grandma Sun, please bring the water in. The prince needs a bath."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Sun Ma immediately obeyed, waving her hand at the palace maids. The two maids immediately went to fetch water, and Quanfu also let out a sigh of relief.

It was only then that the ripples gently woke up the prince.

"Prince, it's time to get up! You need to go and pay respects to the Empress with tea."

The Crown Prince was roused awake, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Lian Ri's delicate beauty in her bare face. He was dazed for a moment, then immediately recalled last night's recklessness. He coughed lightly and said:

"You've worked hard!"

Ripple said nothing, just pursed her lips and gave a shy smile.

"This servant has already had the wet nurse bring water, Your Highness should bathe first. Would you like Quanfu to come in and attend to you"

"Good."

An hour later, the two of them were ready and went to Fengqigong to pay their respects to the current Empress.o survive abroad.Survival and life, though differing by only one character, are worlds apart.It took the longest time for ripples to bring down the Zhou family.
