Duke Jing's younger sister

Chapter 264 The Big Wedding

Is there anything you want to eat?

Really, she suddenly remembered the last time she followed him to Changqing Building, and the warm, sweet and sticky cheese.

"What do you want to eat?" Shen Beiqi noticed that her eyes lit up for a moment and guessed that she must have thought of something.

Jiang Li's pupils turned slightly, and she whispered, "Changqinglou's soft cheese."

Shen Beiqi smiled, called Yue Yang immediately, and told him to go to Changqing Tower immediately.

At night, she thought he would go to the study to sleep, or sleep on the couch, but he naturally took off his outer robe, put on a snow-white middle dress, and got into her bed.

She moved in and subconsciously reminded, "Have you forgotten what the Jiang family doctor told you?"

"What are you afraid of?"

Shen Beiqi laughed and moved closer to her, his chest pressed against her back. Jiang Li felt warm, and her body, which had been cold all the time, instantly became warm.

……

The next day, Jiang Cheng came and after learning that his sister was pregnant, he wanted to pick up the teacup on the table and smash it hard on Shen Beiqi's head.

Jiang Li had no choice but to explain that the child was left behind during the detoxification process, and by the way, told Jiang Cheng half-truths about Luo Zhu.

It would have been fine if she hadn't said anything. Once she did, Jiang Cheng got even angrier. His fingers were trembling as he pointed at Shen Beiqi's nose. "Shen Hengzhi, is this the perfect antidote you mentioned?"

Shen Beiqi shrugged, "I'm not lying. I really think this detoxification method is excellent."

Jiang Li covered her forehead helplessly.

There was chaos in the house for a while, and Jiang Cheng turned around and went back home.

Now that the wedding is approaching, there are many trivial matters in the mansion. In addition, Jiang Li is pregnant, so the wedding process will have to be streamlined.

The Shen family was naturally very busy, but with Yang around, Shen Beiqi didn't have to worry about anything. After returning home from court every day, he would stay with Jiang Li to entertain her.

Seeing that she liked the soft cheese from Changqinglou, he bought some again, but this time she didn't like it anymore and suddenly wanted to eat sour food.

When Yang heard that Jiang Li liked to eat sour food, she was extremely happy. Sour food means a boy, spicy food means a girl, so it was clear that the baby in Jiang Li's belly must be a boy.

But two days later, Shen Beiqi went to Changqing Tower again and brought some fresh, fragrant and spicy dishes.

Yang was confused at this moment, but she then thought, Jiang Li is still young now, it doesn't matter whether the first child is a boy or a girl.

In addition to Shen Beiqi, Shen Zhiyan would also occasionally come to Cuibai Hall.

She has been pregnant for about four months. Because she is thin, her belly is only slightly bulging, and it is almost invisible under her clothes.

No matter how Jiang Li deliberately teased her, she always looked like she wasn't smiling, and when she smiled it seemed like she was worried about something.

Jiang Li thought, since she was going to marry into the Shen family soon, when she felt better, she would spend more time talking to Shen Zhiyan every day, and she would get better over time.

……

The twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

It was a nice day with clear skies and sunny days.

It is a great day for getting married, developing the soil, and everything else.

All the streets in the city were hung with red silk. The ten miles of red decorations attracted people to come out in droves and crowd into the main streets to watch the fun.

When they saw the groom wearing a red suit, riding a red silk white horse walking in front, someone spoke up.

"So it's the Duke of Jingguo's wedding, no wonder there's such a grand ceremony."

"Hey, have you heard that the Duke of Jingguo married the concubine of the Jiang family? The concubine of the Jiang family was favored by the Duke of Jingguo, and he even married her in a sedan chair carried by eight people!"

"I heard that... this concubine of the Jiang family is just a cover, and the one that Duke Jingguo really married is his little sister!"

"Is it true? Don't say anything careless. The daughter of the Jiang family is now the Li Consort in the palace. Be careful..."

The man held his hand sideways and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

There were all kinds of rumors in the market, and they just followed what others said. They didn't dare to say much, for fear that they would cause trouble by speaking out of turn, so they all fell silent in an instant.

A gold-framed sedan passed by the door of Changqing Tower. The window on the second floor was open, and a young man in a light blue robe with wide sleeves followed the movement of the sedan.

There was a hint of coldness in those narrow and beautiful eyes.

Luo Cheng smiled, raised his head and drank the wine in his hand, swallowing all the bitterness and sorrow in his heart along with the wine.

Because of concern for the fetus in her belly, Jiang Li was personally carried to the bridal sedan by Jiang Cheng when she went out.

When they arrived at the Shen Mansion, Shen Beiqi naturally carried him all the way.

Everyone couldn't help but make a fuss, saying that Duke Jingguo might be a henpecked man in the future, and he actually refused to let his new bride go at all.

The wedding hall was packed with people; even Xiao Wencong traveled light and brought Miao Yu with him to attend the wedding.

Jiang Li was covered with a veil, her vision blocked by a bright red. Amid the hustle and bustle, she heard the matchmaker's loud shouts.

"Worship heaven and earth."

Jiang Li turned around and bowed.

"Two thanks to the high hall."

Shen Beiqi helped her turn around and bowed.

"Okay, okay..." Yang couldn't help shedding two tears and wiped them away gently with a handkerchief.

"Husband and wife pay homage——"

"We have to touch heads together, only when we touch heads together can it last forever!"

Jiang Li could tell that it was Luo Jue who was instigating the trouble. He even stepped forward and pressed Shen Beiqi and Jiang Li's heads together.

Rarely, Shen Beiqi's expression did not change, and the smile on the corners of his lips even deepened.

When he was sent to the bridal chamber, there were all kinds of complicated rituals. After everything was over, Shen Beiqi was pushed out of the room by everyone.

After a while, he came back and used the wedding scale tied with red silk to lift her veil.

The young man was wearing a bright wedding dress with fluttering sleeves. When he looked at her, his beautiful peach blossom eyes moved like rippling autumn water, full of endless affection.

"Change your wedding dress and take off your crown, it will be easier."

"Ah."

"Wait for me, I'll be back in a moment."

Someone outside the door urged, "Duke, come out and have a drink. I must get you drunk tonight!"

Shen Beiqi looked at her with a smile, without turning back, "I'll be right there."

He patted her cheek, which was reddened by her wedding dress, and said, "I'll go first."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Go quickly."

You don't have to come back right away.

After all, given her current physical condition, he was destined to be patient and not act rashly on this wedding night.

Xingping brought some food. Jiang Li was a little tired after a tiring day. He felt drowsy after eating a few bites.

People who are in poor health tend to be sleepy. Seeing the girl like this, Luo Zhi cleaned up the longans and red dates on the bed and made the bedding.

Luo Zhi: "Miss, if you are tired, take a rest. It is still early today. Those people have finally caught the opportunity and will not let the Duke go easily. I am afraid it will take a long time for them to come back."

Jiang Li was really tired. She got up before dawn to put on makeup. After a whole day of hard work, her eyelids were very heavy.

"Okay, then I'll sleep for a while. You can call me when he comes back." Jiang Li let Xingping untie her hair and lay down in the soft quilt. In a short while, she fell asleep with even breathing.

"Ali……"

She didn't know how long she had slept before she heard Shen Beiqi calling her.
