Ye Chuyan handed Pei Xiuyan a list, which she wrote while shutting herself in the room yesterday.
Pei Xiuyan took it and looked at it, laughing. There was a dowry and a list of betrothal gifts on it.
Ye Chuyan explained: "I have long wanted to betroth Bai Zhi to Yan Pei, and I just happened to get this done before going to Ning Guta."
"Since Yan Pei and Bai Zhi are both mine, I will prepare their dowries and betrothal gifts. Yesterday, I asked Butler Mo to buy a small courtyard with three entrances as a wedding gift to them."
"Bai Zhi is a dowry maid, and her household registration is in the house with me. I asked Yan Pei, and he said that he has no father or mother, and his household registration is here. I want you to convert their slave registration into good registration, and then Move out and start a separate household.”
"As for the date, it's better to choose a different date than to coincide with each other. Let's set it on May 16th five days later. They don't have any relatives or friends, so the wedding can be kept simple."
"Let them rest for a month after the marriage. After the rest, they will continue to come to the house to serve me during the day and return to their own homes at night."
Ye Chuyan talked a lot in one breath, making clear arrangements for Yan Qi and Bai Zhi's marriage, household registration, residence, and post-marriage matters.
She spoke with great energy and eyes shining.
When she succeeds in revenge, it will be the day of her death. She wants to arrange Bai Zhi well before that. Yan Qi is a good man and should be able to take good care of Bai Zhi.
Pei Xiuyan liked Ye Chuyan's energetic appearance, and he felt happy. "Okay, listen to my wife."
Yan Che was his personal bodyguard and knew too many things. Such a person would never be able to leave the house unless he died.
However, as long as Ayan is happy, what if she can leave the house alive?
Pei Xiuyan immediately wrote a letter and asked his servants to take the letter to the Yamen. When the person in charge of household registration saw Pei Xiuyan's handwritten letter, he immediately upgraded the household registrations of Yan Qi and Bai Zhi to good registrations.
In the evening, Ye Chuyan told Bai Zhi and Yan Xi about the matter.
Yan Chi stood still and said nothing, his usually tense face stained with a slight hint of shyness and joy.
Bai Zhi hugged Ye Chuyan and cried loudly, saying that she did not want to leave the house, let alone get married, and wanted to stay with Ye Chuyan.
Ye Chuyan said angrily: "Bai Zhi, if you still treat me as your master, then listen to me. Getting married is not a separation of life and death. I will allow you to rest for a month after getting married, and then come back and continue to serve me."
Bai Zhi sobbed for a while, wiped away her tears, and then responded.
Naturally, Yan Qi had no objection. In this way, the marriage of the two was officially settled.
Madam Mo was very quick in her work. She booked a courtyard with three entrances that night, and Ye Chuyan arranged for people to move the prepared dowry and betrothal gift to the new courtyard.
In the past few days, Ye Chuyan was busy working on this matter, while Pei Xiuyan kept meeting with officials from the DPRK and the Central Committee in the study.
Ye Chuyan vaguely heard that someone in the court was impeaching Pei Xiuyan, who overshadowed the emperor. She could probably guess that Pei Xiuyan was probably busy with this matter.
She originally didn't expect that the fame of disaster relief would bring down Pei Xiuyan. She knew that Pei Xiuyan, who had been running the court for many years, would not fall because of these things.
However, she doesn't have time to study these now. The most important thing for her right now is to settle the marriage between Bai Zhi and Yan Xi.
The couple are busy with their own affairs and rarely have the chance to meet each other during the day.
At night, no matter how busy Pei Xiuyan was, he would go back to Xiuyan Garden on time to sleep with Ye Chuyan. In this way, they were busy until May 16th.
Today is a day of great joy for Bai Zhi and Yan Xi, because they are both fatherless and motherless. Yan Xi has always been a loner and has almost no friends in the house. Bai Zhi only serves Ye Chuyan and does not make many friends.
In accordance with the principle of keeping everything simple, the two of them did not go through the process of welcoming the bride, but first went through the three salutes.
Pei Xiuyan had a rare free time today. He accompanied Ye Chuyan to attend the wedding of Yan Qi and Bai Zhi, and several servants from Jiang Jiayuan also came with him.
While Bai Zhi was putting on makeup, her eyes were red from crying, and Ye Chuyan comforted her again.
Yan Xiu did not expect that Pei Xiuyan would come to his wedding in person. Although his face did not show any abnormal excitement, the gratitude in his eyes could not be concealed at any cost.
Finally, with the unanimous pleas of Yan Qi and Bai Zhi, Pei Xiuyan and Ye Chuyan sat in the parents' chair.
After three bows, the ceremony was completed. Yan Pi led Bai Zhi into the bridal chamber and came out to drink a lot of wine with Pei Xiuyan.
This was the first time he was allowed to drink as much as he wanted, and he was a little tipsy by the end.
He held up the wine glass and knelt beside Ye Chuyan, "Princess, I would like to take this opportunity to toast you with a drink today. I hope you and the prince will raise eyebrows and grow old together."
Ye Chuyan picked up the wine glass and hesitated a little. The word "growing old together" seemed very unfamiliar to her. Pei Xiuyan beside him reached out and took away Ye Chuyan's wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.
"Yan Che, I accept your blessing. You can treat Bai Zhi well in the future."
Yan Che raised his head in surprise.
He has followed Pei Xiuyan for so many years, and this is the first time that Pei Xiuyan has told him something instead of giving an order.
He drank the wine from the glass and nodded seriously.
It wasn't until night fell that Pei Xiuyan left with Ye Chuyan.
Sitting in the carriage, Pei Xiuyan smelled of alcohol and his eyes were a little misty.
He hugged Ye Chuyan tightly from behind and refused to let go. Ye Chuyan was strangled so hard that he could not breathe smoothly, so she had to desperately break his hand away and complained: "Ace, you are trying to strangle me."
Pei Xiuyan pecked the tip of Ye Chuyan's ear and asked hoarsely: "Ayan, are you happy to see Yan Che and Bai Zhi getting married?"
"Yan Qi and Bai Zhi are in love, and lovers finally get married. Of course I am happy."
Pei Xiuyan chuckled, "Ayan, we are in love now, and lovers will eventually get married, right?"
Ye Chuyan knew that Pei Xiuyan could sense his reaction, but couldn't help but stiffen, "Yes."
Yes, you and I, lovers will eventually become enemies, and eventually become the closest enemies.
Pei Xiuyan felt the body of the person in his arms stiffen slightly. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Ayan, close your eyes. I have prepared a surprise for you."
Ye Chuyan didn't know if Pei Xiuyan was stimulated by Yan Qi and Bai Zhi's wedding, but she always felt that he was too weird today.
Finally, he was forced to close his eyes and let Pei Xiuyan carry him out of the carriage back to his house.
"Madam, you can open your eyes."
Ye Chuyan slowly opened his eyes and was stunned.
This is the main room of Jiangjiayuan. There are red cloths hung everywhere inside, with happy words posted on them. There are two red wedding candles on the table, and Hexin wine is placed next to them.
It was decorated as a bridal chamber.
Ye Chuyan didn't feel surprised, only scared. What does Pei Xiuyan want to do?
Pei Xiuyan carried Ye Chuyan to the bedside. He squatted down, looked up at her, and said guiltily: "Ayan, I owed you when we got married. Can I make up for it today?"
On the night they got married, he and Zhao Yujiao watched the moon until dawn, while Ye Chuyan stayed alone in the empty room until dawn.
These days, he has been thinking about how to make up for this regret.
Today, taking the opportunity to attend the wedding of Yan Qi and Bai Zhi, he asked his servants to decorate Jian Jiayuan as a wedding room, just to surprise Ye Chuyan.
Ye Chuyan recalled her mood on her wedding day. That night, she was first shyly looking forward to it, then feeling uneasy, and at dawn, all of it turned into despair.
The unbearable past events came to mind, and Ye Chuyan's eyes felt a little sour.
She suppressed the surge of sadness, twitched the corners of her mouth, lowered her eyebrows, and tried her best to look happy.
"Okay~"
Pei Xiuyan stood up and poured two glasses of Hexin wine, and drank from it with Ye Chuyan. He also asked someone to prepare fragrant soup, and he personally helped Ye Chuyan bathe.
After bathing, he carried Ye Chuyan to the bed. Ye Chuyan felt something squirming on her back. She opened the quilt and discovered that there was a peanut underneath.
She twisted the peanuts, looked at them for a while, and couldn't help laughing.
This is probably because the servants prepared peanuts and red dates on the wedding bed according to custom, which means to have a child early. Later, thinking that I could not have children, I picked up everything except this peanut.
Pei Xiuyan's expression changed instantly, he grabbed the peanut and crushed it.
He was a little panicked, hugged Ye Chuyan tightly and kept saying: "Ayan, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I will kill everyone who decorated the new house today."
Ye Chuyan frowned and murmured: "Why bother? It's not them who were wrong in this matter."
It was not these servants who made him suffer from miscarriage and lifelong infertility, but Pei Xiuyan.
No matter how Pei Xiuyan tries to make up for it, those painful past events are there, and any detail can trigger them again, making people want to forget them but never forget them.
Pei Xiuyan rubbed Ye Chuyan's chest, pursed his lips and stopped talking.
Probably because this matter was too heavy, the two of them tacitly chose not to mention it again.
Tonight, Pei Xiuyan played the role of an affectionate husband to the fullest. He fulfilled his promise and gave Ye Chuyan the most tender wedding night.
Deep in love, Pei Xiuyan whispered in Ye Chuyan's ear over and over again, "Ayan, I love you, never leave me."
