Jiang Mingyue sat in the bridal chamber in a daze . The wedding ceremony felt like a dream . Her cheek turned hot as she thought that she has now become Yang Yun's wife . Mingyue clenched her hands into a fist under her sleeve when she heard footsteps heading towards her .

"Master, it is now time to unveil your bride," someone said beside them .

Yang Yun nodded . He approached Mingyue and slowly lifted the red veil covering her face . Then, he stared at Mingyue's beautiful face absentmindedly . The red color of the wedding dress against her white, dewy skins made her look even more alluring .

"Congratulations, Young Master, congratulations Young Madam," the attendant said . "Good wishes for master and madam . May you grow together until the hair turns white with many children and grandchildren . "

Yang Yun snapped out of his thought as the elderly madam spoke . His lips curved into a smile as he watched his bride lowered her gaze bashfully . Being stared intently for a long time caused Mingyue's cheek to turn redder as seconds tick away .

"It is time to drink the cross-cup wine," the attendant announced .

A servant appeared by their side with two cups of wine on a tray . Yang Yun picked up a cup, and Mingyue picked the other . The pair moved closer, linked their arms, and drank their wine in one gulp .

Yang Yun placed the cup back on the tray . His gaze never left Mingyue . There was a lot of things he wanted to say to her right now, but he suppressed his thought as other people surrounded them . Yang Yun swallowed . He opened his mouth and spoke a word, "wife . "

Mingyue blushed at his words . She bit her lips as she looked at the people around them . She looked at Yang Yun timidly and replied, "husband . "

Suddenly, a knock sounded on the door, causing everyone in the room to turn their head towards the door . "Master, the guests are waiting for your presence to join the celebration," a steward announced from the outside .

Yang Yun frowned . His expression softened when he turned to Mingyue again . "I have to go out toasting with the guests . It will be a while before I return . "

Mingyue nodded . "Alright . You go first . Don't drink too much . "

The smile on Yang Yun's face widened . "You should rest first . I'll have someone to deliver food for you," he said . Yang Yun left the chamber reluctantly . The others soon followed him out . The door closed and Mingyue was left alone with a maidservant .

The maidservant quickly helped Mingyue to remove the heavy accessory on her head and changed the wedding dress into a scarlet nightgown . Her hair was combed and braided into a simple bun for a married woman . A small flowery hairpin was inserted into her hair .

Mingyue rubbed her stiff neck and shoulder to relax . She was relieved now that the heavy ornaments were removed . As Mingyue stared at the bronze mirror, a knock sounded on the door .

A maidservant appeared carrying a tray of refreshments . "Madam, the master asked for refreshment to be sent to you . You should eat something to pad your stomach . " She placed the tray on the table and retreated .

Mingyue took a seat at the table . There were various sweet and savory delicacies on the tray . Mingyue picked up a cake and tasted it . With just one bite, Mingyue could guess that the cake was made in Yan Zifu's place . A small smile appeared on her lips at Yang Yun's thoughtfulness .

The sky turned darker at night . Mingyue frowned when she could hear the joyful cheer coming from the outside . Although Mingyue knew that Yang Yun could always hold a huge volume of alcohol, she could not help but worry . It looked like the others were not going easy on Yang Yun on his wedding night .

Mingyue decided to sit down and read a medical book as she waited for Yang Yun to return .

Mingyue looked up when she heard footsteps approaching the room . She closed her book and put it aside . Soon, someone swung the door open . Mingyue smiled as she watched Yang Yun stepped in . But her smile quickly faded when she noticed her husband's nervous expression . "What's wrong?"

"You need to enter the palace," Yang Yun said . "Something happened to Her Highness . Her illness relapsed . "

"What?" Mingyue's eyes were wide . Her hands trembled, and her legs felt weak .

Yang Yun stepped beside Mingyue and held both her shoulder . "Calm down . Your brothers have escorted Her Highness back to the palace . Ying Yi is by Her Highness' side . She should be able to look after the Princess for now . You need to get change now . I'll send you to the palace . "
