The capital city was vast, and it would take a considerable amount of time for the officials to escort the new Primus through the crowd. Their responsibility was to ensure Su Binâs safety, and they were determined to avoid any untoward incidents in the tightly packed gathering.
As the crowd eagerly watched the spectacle, Qin Zhenzhen and Su Ning remained positioned on the outskirts. The onlookers couldnât resist a bit of good-natured teasing.
âPrimus, are you about to whisper sweet nothings to your wife? Weâd love to hear!â
âCome on, spill the beans!â
Blushing, Qin Zhenzhen waved to Su Bin and called out, âDonât come over. Finish your capital tour, and Iâll prepare a delicious meal for you when we return home!â
In response, Su Bin shouted, âOf course, thank you, my beloved wife!â
âAll of this is thanks to my wifeâs unwavering support. Without her, I wouldnât be where I am today. She means more to me than life itself!â
âMy dear wife, from now on, my heart belongs to you alone. You are the only woman I will ever marry!â
âI promise to be faithful and true, to never take a concubine or look upon another with desire. My heart is yours for eternity. Bear witness to my pledge, and if I break it, may I suffer a terrible fate!â
Qin Zhenzhen found herself torn between laughter and exasperation as she confided in Su Ning, âYour third brother can be quite the sentimental fool. Why make such an extravagant public oath?â
Su Ning didnât entirely disagree. âHeâs not one to shy away from making a spectacle. â
However, she considered, âI think thereâs more to it. Heâs letting his true feelings show, and there must be a deeper reason behind it.â
âThird Sister-in-law, arenât you touched?â
Qin Zhenzhen smiled without saying anything. Her heart was filled with sweetness.
The onlookers clapped their hands in praise.
âWell said, Primus Su!â âPrimus Su is so affectionate!â
âMrs.Su is so happy!â
âI wish Primus Su and Mrs.Su a blissful life together!â
Qin Zhenzhenâs heart was sweet, but her face was burning.
Su Bin became more and more flirtatious. âWife, I want to eat delicious food tonight!â
Qin Zhenzhen could only reply sweetly, âGot it. I guarantee that the dishes tonight are all your favorites.â
It was their real wedding night. No matter what, they had to celebrate with good wine and meat.
Su Bin smiled in satisfaction.
Su Ning was also grinning from ear to ear.
Even though it seemed like her third brother had completely overlooked her presence, she was perfectly fine with it. What she truly hoped for was to see her third brother and third sister-in-law start a family as soon as possible, so she could become an aunt and dote on her nephew.
Witnessing the affectionate exchange between Qin Zhenzhen and Su Bin, the fifth princess suddenly felt a surge of anger. Su Bin was not only exceptionally handsome and gifted, but he also had a promising future, and he was already her husband. It appeared that the two of them shared a close bond.
Yet, they were displaying their love so openly. It was, in her opinion, shameless! They were flaunting their affection in front of everyone and receiving their blessings. Wasnât this a deliberate provocation?
Despite being over 17 years old, the fifth princess had struggled to find a husband she truly liked. Her mother seemed more concerned about the family background of the prospective suitors, prioritizing it over their character and appearance. Her mother had been pleased with the young master from the Imperial Teacherâs family, even though he was not yet 20 years old and already had numerous concubines and maids.
She had no desire to wed such a promiscuous and uncontrollable man. Yet, her mother scolded her for being too picky, warning that her marriage could no longer be postponed.
In her motherâs eyes, she couldnât afford to be selective.
She sighed, feeling inferior to a village girl. She had heard that when Qin Zhenzhen was still a plump village girl, she had set her sights on Su Binâs looks and managed to marry him. Qin Zhenzhen had proven to be audacious and thick-skinned, but she had achieved a happy ending..
