Episode 9 recap: Pei Wen Xuan and Li Rong's Grand Wedding.
Pei Wen Xuan told Li Rong that he wants to rebuild the dark web and urgently needs some money. Li Rong gave him some of her own limited funds. They can be considered a destined pair - Pei Wen Xuan said that if there's a next time, he will stand in front of Li Rong to protect her, and this touched Li Rong deeply.
Li Rong then went to see her father the Emperor. She said that she would have been afraid of death in prison if not for Pei Wen Xuan. The Emperor also highly approves of Pei Wen Xuan and has set their wedding date for the third of next month.
As soon as Pei Wen Xuan returned home, he received a debt collection message from his boss. He demanded 20 taels, and the steward also chastised the boss. At that moment, a servant informed them of an imperial edict, and Pei Wen Xuan came to the front courtyard. The palace official announced that Pei Wen Xuan has become Li Rong's husband.
Pei Wen Xuan already knew this would be the outcome, but his mother heard it for the first time. The boss who had come to collect the debt dared not say anything. The mother told Pei Wen Xuan that being a son-in-law would not be easy, but he assured her not to worry, as the Crown Princess was someone he had worked hard to get back, and in front of his beloved, he is still just a child.
The boss quickly apologized to Pei Wen Xuan, and the steward said the money would definitely be given to him. Pei Wen Xuan took Li Rong's token to collect the money, and a maid came to inform him that Li Rong had sent him something.
Rou Fei also received a reward this time. She wanted the Emperor to have Su Rong Qing tutor the prince, which was also a way to win over the Su family. After the father told Su Rong Qing about this, he agreed. The father was also relieved.
Li Rong actually had Pei Wen Xuan choose her wedding dress, but she chose the opposite of what he picked, as she didn't trust a man's fashion sense.
The Empress told Li Rong that the Emperor wants to make Ya'er the Crown Prince's consort. Li Rong was quite surprised, as the Crown Prince's consort had already been decided. The Empress also decided to choose three concubines for the prince, and let Li Rong decide.
As Li Rong was about to get married, she was choosing her accessories and thought of Pei Wen Xuan, who must be quite busy these days.
Pei Wen Xuan saw Su Rong Qing and gave him the betrothal money. Though displeased, Su Rong Qing had to accept. Pei Wen Xuan then asked Su Rong Qing what he would choose if his stance differed from his family's, and Su Rong Qing said he would stand on the right side.
At this time, Li Chuan was hurrying back, determined to return before his sister's wedding.
Li Rong knew that Pei Wen Xuan must have a lot of things to deal with, so she wrote him a letter telling him not to be nervous, and Pei Wen Xuan said he would send her a gift the next day. After learning this, Li Rong had an uneasy feeling. When Li Chuan came back, he was very happy to see his sister, thinking that he could now become stronger and protect his sister.
However, he felt that his sister was getting a bit too good of a deal by marrying Pei Wen Xuan. In fact, Su Rong Qing had already fallen for Li Rong, but he had to watch the woman he loved marry someone else, which made him very sad.
Li Rong's wedding was grand. She first went to bid farewell to her parents, and Li Chuan said he would personally lead the way for his sister. Li Chuan handed out red packets to everyone along the way.
Li Rong wondered who would come to welcome her, and to her surprise, it was Su Rong Qing. This was a gift from Pei Wen Xuan to Li Rong, and Su Rong Qing was also willing to welcome Li Rong as her brother-in-law.
As the princess's entourage arrived at the Pei manor, Li Rong carefully got off the carriage and stood in front of Pei Wen Xuan. Only the two of them knew this was their second marriage. Pei Wen Xuan asked Li Rong if she liked the gift he had sent her, but she did not respond.
Soon, Pei Wen Xuan and Li Rong bowed to her mother under the blessings of the crowd. During the wedding ceremony, Pei Wen Xuan remembered how he had accidentally hit Li Rong's hairpin before, but this time he was more careful. Su Rong Qing watched them with a heavy heart.
Li Chuan told Pei Wen Xuan to treat his sister well, or he would not forgive him. As Li Chuan was about to leave, Su Rong Qing stopped him and asked if he would not become enemies with Li Rong in the future. Li Chuan assured him that Li Rong would always be his sister.
After the ceremony, the maids had all left, and Li Rong had to ask Pei Wen Xuan to help her remove her hairpin. Meanwhile, Su Rong Qing was drinking in the wine cellar, and his brother Su Rong Hua came to check on him, surprised to see him drinking so heavily. He felt that his brother was hiding something.
