Chapter 363
“Since his father could not put down his work at Liuzhou stable, as his second legitimate son, it is only right for Lanting to send his sister off in marriage . ” Feng Jin turned around and sighed . “Only he shouldn’t come… He’ll only implicate himself in this messy situation . It is unknown if he’ll be able to escape unscathed…”

Wei Jingxian did not answer for a long time . He stretched his hand to caress her belly and mumbled, “Did the child disturb you again?”
They had been married for three years . Hence, he understood Wei Jingxian’s obstinate temper .
Many months back, when she was early in her pregnancy, her feet frequently cramped at night . She didn’t want to disturb his sleep; rather, she clenched her teeth and bore with it .
Feng Jin loved, yet feared her . Their relationship had steadily reached greater heights .
“No, no… I just recalled this incident and some emotions filled my heart . ”
“Past incidents?” Feng Jin rarely heard his wife speak of her life before marriage . He asked with a smile, “Is it related to Lanting?”
Wei Jingxian secretly bit her lip and looked troubled . She was unaware that Feng Jin already knew that Liu Xi was a girl . Even if Feng Jin and Liu Xi were friends, it was a fact that she was once “betrothed” and bound to the marriage agreement from a young age… Wei Jingxian couldn’t get a feel for Feng Jin’s attitude, so she evaded speaking of Liu Xi at all .
Wei Jingxian hesitated despite her monotonous and calm tone . “En, there is some relation . I love eating, which explains my fully rounded figure . I am somewhat plump, but I am unable to quiet my heart . My desire to avoid the maids and ladies when I was young was tempting . One day, when everyone wasn’t looking, I mischievously climbed up the pear tree outside the courtyard, but I couldn’t get down . I cried for a long time…”
Feng Jin laughed heartily . “What happened next?”
“Perhaps children have the same interests by nature . The servants at home were searching for me, but Lanting actually found me . I was afraid the elders in my family would punish me… I refused to let her find an adult for help, but I also didn’t dare to climb down the tree . We reached a dead-end . She offered to be my cushion . If I fell, she would be responsible…” Wei Jingxian’s face broke into a playful smile .

“You must have been really cute when you were young… Did you land safely?”
Since she had a fully rounded figure, when she jumped down, the impact on Liu Xi was great . He thought of the scenario and found it funny .
Wei Jingxian said, “I was fine, but Lanting sprained some things . ”
Feng Jin controlled his laughter . He quipped playfully, “If that’s the case, we should prepare a generous gift for Lanting tomorrow to express our gratitude for her gracious act . ”
Wei Jingixan was stunned . She originally thought Feng Jin was angry, but his voice had no traces of anger . She probed him, “Is my husband jealous?”
Feng Jin asked cunningly, “Why should I be jealous?”
Getting jealous over a woman… Was Feng Jin such a narrow-minded person? That was wrong!
It dawned on Feng Jin, who was intelligent, that both did not have a common understanding . He helplessly laughed .
Wei Jingxian was confused . She wondered what she said that was funny .
“Go and sleep . It is rare for the child to not disturb you . Sleep well . ” Feng Jin wiped away his residual smile and didn’t explain anything to Wei Jingxian . Both did not speak anymore, and they gradually descended into dreamland .

Shangjing at present went into a panic at the slightest move . The people were ignorant of any inside information; they continued their everyday lives as if they were living in a time of peace and prosperity . The infighting between the rich did not bother them… Only those with sharp and acute senses were able to discover what was going on behind the peaceful façade .
Before Wuma Jun’s wedding, a crack, naked to the human eye, appeared amid the calm environment .
Contrary to the wedding of Princess An Yina and the Second Prince, the wedding at hand was a joyous occasion for Dongqing’s royal family .
The wedding of a royal family member drew a lot of people to the live streaming room to watch .
Wahaha Niunai: “#rubsface . The streamer’s sister is getting married, but I am nervous . It’s as if I am the one getting married . ”
Yingyang Kuaiqian: “I agree with the above . I am also nervous . When the Second Prince got married previously, the streamer did not attend . The bride of the wedding is the streamer’s sister, and she will get to witness for herself what the royal weddings in ancient times are like . Her seeing it is like us seeing it . ”
The dimension the audience members were in was not ruled by kingdoms any longer . The terms royal family and average commoners were foreign to them .
It was solely based on imagination; they could not envision what a royal wedding ceremony looked like or how extensive it would be .
As her sister was preparing to get married, Jiang Pengji kept a low profile . She spent most of the time cooped up in the mansion . She only went out for visitations on rare occasions and mostly visited Liu She’s official friends . They had superficial conversations that had little value .
It felt like the calm before the storm . As the wedding day drew nearer, the entire atmosphere in Shangjing became increasingly strange .
At dawn on the wedding day, Jiang Pengji turned on the live stream and 150,000 audience members flooded in .
Taxue meticulously helped Jiang Pengji wash up, then helped her put on her wedding apparel .
She took a glimpse at the bullet screen of the live streaming room . Her lips broke into a vague smile .
Streamer V: “Am I handsome?”
Her fans replied as soon as she posted the bullet screen . The comment warranted differing values of rewards, which came flooding in as if a dam broke loose .
Her carefree nature and handsome appearance superseded that of the groom’s attire and hairstyle . She held her sandalwood fan in her hands and prepared to make things difficult for the groom .
Such was the wedding custom in Dongqing . If the groom wanted to marry the bride, he has to undergo “81 hardships . ”
The audience in the streaming room termed it “gate crash . ”
However, compared to the insults expressed by the audience in the live streaming room, the quarrels in Jiang Pengji’s generation were very civilized and dangers abounded .
Jiang Pengji chose a good angle . The audience in the live streaming room watched with much anticipation .
Doraemon: “It feels like all the bachelors are in the era the streamer is in . They are destined to be single for their entire lives . ”
There were many obstacles . The groom’s musical talents, chess skills, reading, and painting proficiency were all assessed . The groom had to compose poems, as well as showcase his literacy and calligraphy skills . They also tested on a foreign topic from the subset of annals and classics collection… As Wuma Jun was a prince, the test was prepared beforehand, and he could spot the questions and strategize .
Regardless of how difficult the questions were, he could easily solve them .
Wuma Jun got through the various obstacles in high-spirits . His unique disposition and proficient literary skills earned him much favor .
Each time he successfully finished a level, someone cheered him on, and people poured forth praises generously .
Those who did not know him thought Wuma Jun was the reincarnation of Wen Quxing .
Jiang Pengji oversaw the last level . Behind her stood an extravagant and well-decorated apartment, where they would get married . Only by gaining permission from Jiang Pengji could Wuma Jun marry the bride . This moment was the most anticipated moment of the wedding ceremony .
“Lanting, please give us your blessings . ” Wuma Jun was not interested in Liu Huan . She was too young, and her bones had not fully formed . What charm did she have?
She had a powerful father… He had no choice but to marry her .
