“Why? Why is he the first to marry Han’er? I’ve known her much earlier!” Yi Mo grumbled, exuding a thick vinegar smell. Shang sighed glumly, whispering: “I was the first… yet someone cut in line.”
“I’m going to rebel!” Bao Xi shouted, about to truly rebel, but was immediately covered by Shang’s hand. “You stay put.”
“Enter the bridal chamber!” The officiant’s voice almost collapsed the entire house. The three’s hearts skipped a beat, and they couldn’t sit still. They all stood up and told the accompanying official: “I need to use the restroom!” Then they disappeared in a flash, leaving the frustrated officials behind.
At this moment, Shu Yang was preparing to lift Han’er’s veil, his hand trembling from nervousness. The matchmaker smiled and said, “Your Majesty, don’t be nervous, just stay calm.”
“Could you… leave?” he stammered, blushing. The matchmaker hesitated, “But, Your Majesty, the ceremonial wine…”
“Just leave it,” Shu Yang ordered, and the matchmakers bowed and left.
Outside, the matchmakers giggled, “Didn’t expect the Emperor to be so shy, how cute!” Nearby, three anxiously crouched in the bushes. Shang announced, “Begin the operation!”
In the room, Shu Yang hesitated before finally mustering the courage to lift my veil. I playfully winked at him, “Darling husband, am I beautiful today?” Surprised, he replied, “Yes, very beautiful!”
“But this phoenix crown is quite a burden. Could you help me take it off?” I smiled charmingly, pointing at the crown. Shu Yang gently nodded and smiled, carefully helping me remove it, taking out the ‘chopsticks’ from my hair one by one.
I moved my head, “Ah~ Much more comfortable!” I spun around and said to Shu Yang, “Help me take off this robe too! It’s so hot.” Shu Yang obediently helped me take it off. I flopped onto the soft bed, “Wow— this bed is so comfortable.”
“Hehe, Xiao Han, this is actually called a couch,” Shu Yang corrected with a smile. I pouted, “Hey, you should change how you address me now! Call me your wife!” He looked embarrassed, “Seems… not quite used to it.”
I suggested, “Then you can call me ‘Madam Wife’!” Shu Yang, oblivious to the significance, nodded, “Okay! Madam Wife.”
