Chapter 14 Equal Pressure to Marry 1
When Wei Dongning and Gu Peiyan returned to the Marquis of Zhongxin's residence with a cart full of gifts, the residence was extremely lively.
Besides the Wei family members, even the Crown Prince and the Second Prince were sitting to the side.
After paying her respects to everyone, Wei Dongning was pulled to Bai Suyun's side.
He used his gaze as a ruler to measure her from top to bottom.
"Mother, don't worry. I've been doing alright these past two days," Wei Dongning reassured her.
And he couldn't help but add in his mind, "He can eat and sleep well."
Su Yizhuo glanced at his precious little sister with relief. She was fine; she hadn't lost weight.
Then, turning to Gu Peiyan, whose dark circles were almost drooping, he rolled his eyes dramatically: "Young Master Gu should take care of himself. If needed, I can arrange for an imperial physician to help you recover."
He inquired and found out that they hadn't consummated their marriage in the past two days.
This relieved Su Yizhuo.
The cabbages at his house are still very tender.
"Thank you for your kindness, Second Prince, but I haven't been sleeping well these past two days."
The crown prince took a sip of tea, suppressing the smile on his lips.
Today's trip was definitely worthwhile.
His good second brother, ever since he learned that his father had bestowed a marriage upon him, has been acting like a complete jerk.
He wore his heart on his sleeve.
He didn't have any of his usual composure.
The prince was focused on watching the spectacle, but he was not unaware that a burning gaze was fixed on him from not far away.
Looking over indifferently, that gaze disappeared again.
However, since the person didn't seem to have any bad intentions, he didn't take it to heart.
Wei Qiuci withdrew her gaze from the Crown Prince.
Since the last flower-viewing party, she has never had the chance to see her beloved again.
Only in my own room can I use a paintbrush to sketch what's in my heart onto paper.
After finishing the drawing, as if afraid of being discovered by others, he changed it to other patterns to cover it up.
Even if she were fortunate enough to marry into the Eastern Palace, she might not be qualified to become the Crown Princess.
So, in the limited time she could see the Crown Prince, she only wanted to look at him a little longer and record this man with his handsome face and bright moon with her eyes.
Even if she marries someone else in the future, she will have memories to sustain her.
Seeing that Bai Suyun and Wei Dongning had finished their conversation, Wei Liangzhe reminded them, "Although you are married, you must still practice your martial arts. I will forgive you for slacking off the other day."
Wei Dongning hung her head and said "Oh".
He was plotting how to avoid practicing martial arts.
She's just too lazy to move.
The joyful atmosphere lasted until it was time to eat.
Wei Xiuming had just put a mouthful of soup in his mouth when Bai Suyun, who was sitting at the head of the table, threw out the words, "Now that Dong Ning is married, you, as the eldest brother, should also consider marriage." He coughed up the words.
“Mother, His Majesty has ordered me to return to the border in a week. Let’s put the marriage on hold for now.” Wei Xiuming’s eyes shifted as he looked at Wei Qiuci opposite him: “Second sister’s marriage is still undecided. Mother, please help her choose a suitable match.”
Meeting Wei Qiuci's questioning gaze, Wei Xiuming silently apologized to her in his heart.
He didn't mean to drag her into this, but he simply had no other good options at the moment.
Bai Suyun sighed: "Every time I bring up marriage with you, it feels like I'm trying to kill you."
Wei Xiuming scratched his nose guiltily.
He's on the front lines every day, and it's unclear when he'll be able to finally settle down.
Why waste the girl's time?
"Where's Qiu Ci? Do you have an answer to what I asked you last time?"
