The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1980

Chapter 1980: Chapter 988: At Last, Fulfillment (Xinyang vs. Xiao Ji Marquis)

This guy, was he teasing her all the way here?

She felt it wasn’t right to do so and really wanted to be angry with him, but as she looked into his eyes, just as they were back then, and saw the Yu Ruyi in his hand, as well as the dragon and phoenix candles lit on the table at some point, an involuntary wave of emotion welled up in her heart.

"When... did you prepare these?" she asked softly.

"You’re talking about this?" Xiao Ji smiled, looking at the Yu Ruyi in his hand, and said, "On the road, stopped at the town when we were almost at the military camp."

Did the carriage stop?

She was too busy being angry to notice such details at all!

Was his intention in letting her act like a holy maiden all the way here just for these?

Come to think of it, if he had said he recognized her earlier, she would never have been able to continue wearing the bridal veil in front of Long Yi and Zhenzhen with her thin skin.

She thought everything would end with the wedding ceremony, that was when she and Long Yi had agreed to take action.

At that point, she had no further extravagant demands.

But how did this man come up with this ploy, making her angry on one hand, while secretly bringing in the dragon and phoenix candles and Yu Ruyi?

What Xiao Ji brought was not just the dragon and phoenix candles and Yu Ruyi, but also the nuptial wine that they never drank back then.

He poured two glasses of wine, handing one to her, "The wine at the border pass isn’t as fragrant and mellow as the imperial wine from the palace, you’ll have to make do."

Princess Xinyang looked down into the light and shadows in the wine glass, "How did you recognize me?"

Xiao Ji laughed, "The way you paid respects, were you afraid I wouldn’t recognize you?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Princess Xinyang blushed, wanting to ask if he wasn’t the same back then?

The two interlocked their wrists and drank the nuptial wine that was overdue by more than twenty years.

Whether it was the effect of the wine or the burning charcoal in the barracks, her cheeks were flushed red.

Xiao Ji gazed at her deeply, "Qin Fengwan, do you know the meaning of nuptial wine?"

"Hmm?" Princess Xinyang was taken aback by his sudden question.

He didn’t expect her to answer, continuing on his own, "Drinking the nuptial wine, to be together in life, and in death."

It sounded quite poetic.

Princess Xinyang said awkwardly, "How come I’ve never heard of it?"

He placed the empty wine glass back on the table, confidently saying, "From now on, it will be recorded in history books, as said by this marquis."

Princess Xinyang: "..."

Princess Xinyang placed her wine glass next to his; even the glasses were in pairs, fitting the scene well.

"And then?" she mustered the courage to ask.
