Chapter 315: Golden Wind and Jade Dew Never Meet

Yuan Qi's big tears suddenly welled up from her eyes, flowed across her snow-white cheeks, and dripped onto her golden and red wedding gown.

"What's wrong? We just talked about it. It's all over. Don't cry..." Zhou Chang was stunned, but Yuan Qi's tears flowed like a spring, and her heart seemed to be burned. "Don't be sad. If you are afraid of hearing those dirty words, just stay in the palace and don't go out. It will be fine after a while."

Yuan Qi must have made such a great determination and given up so much emotion to get here step by step.

However, why does the person in front of me seem so indifferent?

This was not the Prince Yi Fengming that she knew before.

Peace and separation?

Why could it come out of his mouth so easily?

Did Prince Yi never want this marriage from the beginning, or did he make up his mind only after what happened today?

Yuan Qi couldn't figure it out, only the tears that kept flowing told her that everything was over.

Zhou Chang didn't understand why, and he used his sleeve to wipe Yuan Qi's tears. Every tear that Yuan Qi shed was hot and uncomfortable in his heart: "Don't cry, it's best to be with your loved one, but you are the Princess of Prince Yi now, so it's nice to experience the life of a Princess for a while. How about we try to be good friends?"

"Friends?" Yuan Qi wiped away tears with his sleeves, his eyes filled with grief and indignation, "'Fellow students are friends, comrades are friends', which kind are we? If Your Highness Prince Yi minds, you can just tell me and let me deal with you. There's no need, no need..."

In Yuan Qi's heart, Wen Fei was her destined husband and she would never be the second choice.

But now she was wearing the most luxurious wedding dress and sitting in the lofty Prince Yi's Mansion. "Being friends" was simply a joke.

Is this how fate plays tricks on people?

Zhou Chang didn't know why Yuan Qi suddenly got angry: "I don't mind. I said I don't mind. What right do I have to mind? I just want to live in harmony with you. After all, divorce is not something that can be done overnight. It will take some time until the recent storm is over."

"I don't mind why you..." Yuan Qi couldn't continue, feeling aggrieved and unwilling.

Zhou Chang felt that he had expressed himself clearly, and he couldn't think of any reason for her to keep crying: "Are you still afraid that the letter will have some negative impact? Well, to be honest, this matter was mostly directed at me, but it implicated you. I should be sorry."

"What?" Yuan Qi stopped crying and looked at Zhou Chang with tearful eyes.

Zhou Chang saw the effect, and he thought it was most important to be honest with each other: "This incident is too coincidental. It is not uncommon for the Yuan family to lose property, but which thief would be so desperate as to carry a box of paper back. And this box of letters happened to appear at the wedding banquet, instead of being circulated on the streets. If this incident is aimed at the Yuan family and is intended to ruin the reputation of the Yuan family, what good will it do? It also offends Prince Yi's Mansion. Unless that person originally wanted to harm Prince Yi's reputation and laugh at Prince Yi, and is not afraid of offending Prince Yi, then he is targeting me."

In the end, he didn't mention anyone by name, but said it was Prince Duan who did it.

The main reason is that it is unnecessary, so as to prevent Yuan Qi from being drawn into this kind of court struggle.

Yuan Qi seemed to think it made sense, but he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Zhou Chang's eyes were filled with the arrogant look of Prince Duan, and he was also indignant: "I just can't let them have their way, so we can be good friends inside and pretend to be a harmonious couple outside, how about that?"

Yuan Qi stared at Zhou Chang for a long while, and finally realized that Zhou Chang was not pretending. He was confused for a moment, with mixed feelings in his heart, and didn't know how to answer.

Zhou Chang had said everything he needed to say, and Yuan Qi stopped crying. Having passed the most difficult hurdle, he felt a lot more relieved.

Listening carefully outside, it was already past midnight and time to rest.

But how is she going to spend tonight?

She had no choice but to take a sip of tea, then went to the table to find some snacks and brought them to Yuan Qi: "I heard that being a bride is the hardest job, and you probably haven't eaten much this day. The food is cold and not worth eating, so have a few snacks to fill your stomach."

Yuan Qi shook her head. She hadn’t eaten or drunk anything for the whole day, but she didn’t feel hungry at all.

Zhou Chang ate two snacks with tea, and the atmosphere became more relaxed. He then saw the golden wine pot and two wine glasses beside him, and said without thinking: "What a pity, since we are not going to have a wedding ceremony, it is better not to drink the wedding wine."

She now has a traumatic experience with drinking.

Yuan Qi twitched the corner of his mouth, as if he wanted to laugh, but he didn't laugh in the end.

After Zhou Chang took a few bites of food, he heard the night watchman's gong outside. It was already past midnight, and the day was over.

"It's past midnight. We've been busy all day. Let's go to bed now," Zhou Chang cast his eyes and took a fancy to the chaise longue under the north window. "Tomorrow we have to get up early to go to the palace to express our gratitude. It will probably be difficult to go through all the long-winded etiquette."

As he spoke, he stood up and turned around to spend the night on the chaise longue next to him.

Prince Yi is a man after all, so in the future when she gets along with Yuan Qi, he has to give in to women.

Yuan Qi sat there without moving, his eyes never leaving her.

Zhou Chang had been very busy the whole day, and when he came to the chaise longue, he fell headfirst onto it.

The chaise longue is spacious and comfortable, and except for the lack of a quilt, everything else is just right.

Fortunately, the charcoal stove in the inner room was burning brightly, so it wasn't cold at all.

Yuan Qi did not move and continued to sit there.

Zhou Chang did not dare to urge him, and slowly turned around with his back to Yuan Qi.

In this situation, it is normal for the atmosphere to be awkward.

In the bridal chamber, red candles were lit, but the golden wind and jade dew never met, it was fate that played tricks on people.

Zhou Chang was wearing a full set of bright red wedding gown, lying on his side facing the wall. He felt bloated and uncomfortable. Although he wanted to fall asleep, he couldn't. His ears unconsciously listened to Yuan Qi's movements behind him.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a slight sound of crackling.

Yuan Qi then stood up, turned around, took out a bright red brocade quilt from the bed, went to the imperial concubine's couch, and covered Zhou Chang with it.

Zhou Chang pretended to fall asleep with her eyes closed and let Yuan Qi cover her with a quilt. But after Yuan Qi left, she couldn't help but open her eyes.

Judging from the light and shadow on the wall, Yuan Qi turned around and seemed to go to the dragon and phoenix candles.

She had intended to blow out the candles.

After waiting for a long time, I heard the sound of Yuan Qi turning around and going to bed, also lying in bed with his clothes on.

Yes, the dragon and phoenix candles are supposed to burn until dawn, how can they be extinguished?

Zhou Chang thought to himself that he was confused.

Only after she heard the sound of Yuan Qi lowering the tent did she dare to turn over gently.

The dragon and phoenix candles remained motionless in their original positions, with only the flames dancing lightly in the quiet night.

A sentence suddenly popped up in my mind: "The red candles were lit in the bridal chamber last night, waiting for the morning to pay respects to my uncle and aunt in the hall."

No, what the hell is this? It doesn’t fit the atmosphere.
