Marrying a White Snake Wife is Super Cool

At Gu Ziye’s prompting, Su Liyan also noticed the woman walking toward them.

Su Liyan pinched Lu Yuan’s arm.

At the prompting of Yue’Er and his wife, Lu Yuan snapped out of it and said, "What’s going on in those little heads of yours? I was just curious who this person is!"

Gu Ziye crossed her arms. "So you don’t know who she is, huh? You were staring so hard your eyes were about to pop out. How come you weren’t looking at me like that just now?"

Tomorrow was Gu Ziye’s wedding day. For Lu Yuan to be looking at other women... a few pointed remarks hardly seemed excessive.

Gu Ziye changed the subject and began the introductions. "Sister, Yuan~, this is my fourth sister, Princess Anqing!"

"Fourth Sister, this is the Sister Liyan and Yuan~ I’m always talking about. He’s... my man."

Gu Ziye seemed a little embarrassed as she said this.

The graceful and magnificent Princess Anqing, Gu Lanxin, took another slow, smiling step forward, exuding the very picture of royalty.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan took the initiative to greet her. Princess Anqing said, "You two, we’re all family now. There’s no need for such pleasantries."

"Exactly!" Gu Ziye chimed in from the side.

Princess Anqing looked at Su Liyan, who had her arm linked with Lu Yuan’s, and couldn’t help but marvel. ’What a beautiful woman! Compared to her, my little sister’s figure is rather lacking. She could use a bit more meat on her bones.’

Princess Anqing couldn’t tell that Su Liyan was already a mother.

With her fair, firm skin and high, full breasts, no one would have ever guessed Su Liyan had already borne a child.

Fearing an awkward silence, Gu Ziye took the lead and continued, "Yuan~, you said you’d be here for the rehearsal today, but you made us wait for so long! Don’t you care about me at all?"

"You’re already neglecting me now. Once I’m married to you, are you going to ignore me completely?~"

Gu Ziye started to make a fuss. With her hands on her slim, toned waist, she pouted and spoke in a long, drawn-out whine.

Lu Yuan felt wronged when he heard this. ’That Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites who delivered the wedding attire and Python Robe a few days ago never told me!’

But Lu Yuan knew it wouldn’t be wise to blame the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites for this.

The Vice Minister had been punished by the Emperor for opposing their marriage.

Lu Yuan had no personal, irreconcilable conflict with the man. It was better to make fewer enemies.

After all, in the Court, there was no telling how many people were watching his every move with predatory eyes.

Before Lu Yuan could think of an explanation, someone else stepped in to smooth things over.

"Little Sister, you can’t be so unreasonable," Princess Anqing said, pinching Gu Ziye’s pouting lips. "This little cherry mouth of yours... it’s just as soft and tender as when you were a little girl."

Princess Anqing wasn’t taking Gu Ziye’s side in the slightest. As her older sister, how could she not know what her little sister was really like?

"Fourth Sister~~" Gu Ziye whined playfully.

"Alright, alright, everyone is still waiting," Princess Anqing said, playing the peacemaker. "Lord Lu, shall we begin?"

Seeing that Princess Anqing had come to his rescue, Lu Yuan chuckled and said, "I’m entirely at Fourth Sister’s disposal!"

Princess Anqing covered her mouth with her sleeve and gave a demure smile. "Brother-in-law, since you’re addressing me so familiarly, it would seem distant of me to keep calling you Lord Lu."

It was the first time Princess Anqing had met someone so informal with her. Most people, upon learning she was a princess, kept a respectful distance, which was terribly dull.

This handsome young man before her, on the other hand, wasn’t the least bit intimidated. He was actually a good match for her younger sister.

Gu Ziye ran to Lu Yuan’s other side and linked his arm, flanking him with Su Liyan. "Fourth Sister~ we’re all family! We can’t let all this tedious etiquette get in the way of our relationships."

Gu Ziye had always cherished her freedom and disliked the endless rules and regulations of the palace.

"Yes, on that point, our Thirteenth Sister is right!" Princess Anqing agreed.

After Lu Yuan and the others entered Fengtian Hall, Gu Ziye had someone arrange a seat for Su Liyan.

Su Liyan didn’t have to do a thing except be a spectator.

A crowd of eunuchs and maids swarmed forward to fuss over Lu Yuan and Gu Ziye.

Under the direction of the Minister of Rites, Lu Yuan followed along with the entire process, committing every step to memory to avoid any mistakes the next day.

But Lu Yuan didn’t have it the hardest. Gu Ziye was the most exhausted.

The inflexible Minister of Rites insisted that the Thirteenth Princess wear her actual wedding attire for the rehearsal.

As it was nearly early winter, Gu Ziye was already in heavy clothing. The weighty headdress and the long train of her wedding attire weighed her down so much she could barely move.

To help her sister, Princess Anqing worked alongside the Minister of Rites, directing the maids and eunuchs.

Halfway through the rehearsal, Lu Yuan’s heart ached for Yue’Er, and he suggested they find a boy and a girl to carry the train for Princess Yue Ning.

Seeing how frail the Thirteenth Princess looked, the Minister of Rites agreed.

From the sidelines, Su Liyan watched her man bustling about. She often covered her mouth to stifle a laugh whenever she saw something amusing.

’For her man to marry a princess as a secondary wife, well, that was a testament to his capabilities!’

「After the rehearsal.」

Gu Ziye was covered in sweat from the exertion. Beads of perspiration trickled down from the strands of hair at her temples and dripped onto the floor.

Gu Ziye tugged at the collar of her wedding attire with her left hand, fanning air inside with her right.

"Whew~ It’s so hot!"

Seeing this, Lu Yuan pressed her collar back in place, worried that the petite Yue’Er might accidentally expose herself and bring shame upon the Royal Family.

Completely love-struck, Gu Ziye tilted her head up slightly and blinked, her long eyelashes fluttering.

Gu Ziye said in a sultry voice, "Yuan~ we’re in public. If you have any ideas... why don’t you come and find me tomorrow night, hmm?"
