Chapter 1996 The Regent Princess is about to faint again
Shi Li’s coming-of-age ceremony was very grand.
Even more grand than her coming-of-age ceremony was her wedding six months later.
After half a year of recuperation, although Shi Li was still weak, she no longer had to stay in the house all day and could go out for a walk when the weather was good.
Like a porcelain doll that needs careful care, it cannot be neglected at all.
Both her family and Gu Jinning are willing to keep her at the top of their hearts.
The wedding day was also a grand scene in the capital.
There was no ten-mile red wedding, because Gu Jinning volunteered to live with her in Shi Mansion instead of bringing her into his own house.
But the required betrothal gifts are no less than those for a royal wedding.
After the whole process was completed, many girls in Beijing were so envious that they twisted their handkerchiefs into pieces.
Among them, Miss Yu is the calmest one.
Sitting in the teahouse, drinking tea with a group of young ladies, discussing this important event.
"Thank you, sir. You can just be envious." Miss Yu pouted, still feeling scared when she thought about her previous failed seduction attempt.
If she hadn't been lucky enough to meet a senior monk in the mountains who made Gu Jinning have good intentions, her fate would probably not have been so good.
Until now, she still couldn't forget Gu Jinning's calm and crazy look at that time. It was really frightening.
The other little sisters were confused, "Thank you for being so handsome and gentle..."
"Stop it! I really treat you as a sister, so my honest advice may be unpleasant to hear. Thank you, sir, for being so gentle, that doesn't involve his wife, otherwise... I wouldn't even dare to think about it." Miss Yu shook her head repeatedly.
But Gu Jinning's identity and appearance are bound to make some stubborn people refuse to believe in it and insist on stroking the tiger's whiskers.
Everyone knew how poor Shi Li's health was. Even if they were not desperately hoping for her to pass away, they would think that she would definitely not be able to take on the mundane duties of a regent princess, so there would definitely be more people in the backyard.
But Gu Jinning moved directly to the Shi Mansion. This stroke of genius stunned everyone.
How could it be possible for the Prince Regent to live with the princess in her parents' home?
But who dares to ask questions in person?
Before the wedding, Shi Yu avoided everyone and looked for Gu Jinning once.
He is already an independent person who can provide protection for his family.
"I know who you are."
Shi Yu looked at Gu Jinning steadily, "You know Li'er's body better than the rest of us. Gu Jinning, she can't give birth to children for you."
Gu Jinning looked at his brother-in-law calmly.
"So, I will adopt many, many children in my name and hers, and I won't let her worry about it. I will find someone to raise them well. So, you don't have to worry about no one to see us off to the end of our lives."
Shi Yu: ...
He had a lot of words and threats in his mind, but in the end, he didn't say a single word. Gu Jinning's decisiveness and plans for the future were beyond his imagination.
Looking at Shi Yu's confused eyes, Gu Jinning smiled calmly, yet with a familiar madness in his eyes.
"She's all I care about."
He had never thought of letting her leave her family and go to a completely unfamiliar mansion, even if it was his mansion.
There's no better place to be than with your family.
So, he would adapt to her.
The swaying red candles with dragons and phoenixes illuminate the whole room with bright red.
Shi Li was sitting on the edge of the bed in a formal dress, tilting her head and watching Gu Jinning walk in from outside.
"Are people outside laughing at you?" She was asking about the fact that Gu Jinning lived with her in the Shi Mansion.
Gu Jinning shook his head and sat down next to her.
"No one laughs at me, they just envy me."
"You are good at comforting yourself." Shi Li felt helpless.
She also didn't expect Gu Jinning to be so rebellious and live with her in her parents' home after marriage. Not to mention in this feudal era, even in her era, this was definitely rare.
Gu Jinning smiled without saying anything. He just gently reached out his hand to stroke her eyebrows, and then took it off and dismantled it with nimble and light movements.
As the long hairpin with a bell on it was pulled out, her jet-black hair fell gently.
Shi Li lowered her eyes and looked at the hem of her skirt quietly.
Gu Jinning grabbed a strand of her long hair, then folded out a strand of his own hair and tied a knot with his fingers.
The knot is a husband and wife, and there is no doubt about love.
When people mention Regent Xie Lin, the first thing that comes to mind is always the deep affection between him and his first wife that has remained unchanged for ten years.
There are always women who sigh and envy the Regent Princess, thinking how lucky she is to have Xie Lin's lifelong love.
But a long time later, someone found the sentence that Xie Lin wrote most in the manuscript he left behind:
I am so lucky to have a wife like Lili.
The thickness of the brush and ink cannot conceal the emotions and feelings of a lifetime.
