Whether it was because King Ye Mo arranged things in a whirlwind fashion or because Regent Ye Xuanyuan was highly efficient, on the seventh day after Ye Mo left the Regent's Palace, the Kingdom of Peishui welcomed the Regent's grand wedding.
In an instant, the Kingdom of Peishui was in an uproar. The Regent's high status was naturally not to be ignored. Countless nobles wanted to marry their daughters into the Regent's palace, even as a concubine or a maid. However, the Regent had never accepted any marriage proposals. But now he was suddenly getting married. As a result, everyone's attention was focused on this future queen, wanting to know who she was.
After some inquiries, it was learned that the future princess was named Lin Shuhua, a distant relative of Prime Minister Lin. Although her status was somewhat low, the regent had taken a liking to her, and the marriage was bestowed by the king, so who dared to say a word against it?
Liu Huan was woken up early in the morning and began to put on a series of complicated clothes, wrapping her up like a rice dumpling, except that she was a bright red rice dumpling.
Now, she has a new identity—Lin Shuhua, the distant niece of Prime Minister Lin. And today is her wedding day with Ye Xuanyuan.
She was at the mercy of the maids and matchmakers, showing no excitement or trepidation that a bride should have. This was because no one had asked her if she was willing, and perhaps even the young king thought that she was marrying above her station.
Even she herself felt that she was marrying above her station, but there was always something wrong with her, so she couldn't muster any enthusiasm. Others didn't pay attention and thought that the bride was just shy.
After a flurry of activity, including getting into the bridal sedan chair and the wedding ceremony, she was finally sent back to her bridal chamber. Sitting quietly by herself, she secretly lifted her red veil and carefully examined the bridal chamber, which was filled with a glaring red hue.
Is tonight her wedding night again? Liu Huan thought to herself with mixed feelings. Her first night after transmigrating was her wedding night, but her husband had given her away to someone else. She hoped that tonight wouldn't be too embarrassing for her. Actually, she and Ye Xuanyuan were not strangers. Thinking about how Ye Xuanyuan had made love to her every night since her love-devouring gu flared up, her face immediately flushed.
Lost in thought, Liu Huan was suddenly pushed open. She hurriedly covered her red veil again, thinking it was the matchmaker coming in, but instead heard a familiar, gentle voice: "Huan'er, have you been waiting long by yourself?"
"Ah...it's alright."
Liu Huan thought to herself that he must have seen her take off her veil, how embarrassing! She wanted to ask him why he came back so early, but she didn't know how to start.
Ye Xuanyuan closed the door, walked over step by step, and slowly lifted the veil from Liu Huan's head. Looking at her rosy cheeks, he couldn't help but say, "Huan'er, you look so beautiful today!"
No wonder they say the bride is the most beautiful, but looking at Ye Xuanyuan in his red dress, Liu Huan blurted out, "You look handsome today too!"
"handsome?"
Ye Xuanyuan was somewhat puzzled.
"Oh, it means handsome and dashing."
This made Ye Xuanyuan very happy. It wasn't that no one had ever praised him before, but the praise from his beloved was different. A gentle smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Huan'er, come, let's drink the nuptial wine."
After the two exchanged cups and drank the wine symbolizing a long and lasting union, Ye Xuanyuan helped Liu Huan sit back on the wedding bed, reached out to remove the heavy phoenix crown from her head, and couldn't help but stroke her long black hair.
Liu Hua's long, flowing black hair cascaded down, appearing exceptionally charming in the glow of the red candlelight. Perhaps it was because the moon had risen, but Liu Hua felt a growing heat rising within her.
"Huan'er, let's go to bed."
As Ye Xuanyuan spoke, he began to remove Liu Hua's red dress. Liu Hua nervously replied, "It's...it's still early."
For some reason, she felt a lingering unease, so she couldn't help but ask, "If I told you that the Liu Hua you used to know is dead, and that I'm no longer the person who called you Brother Yuan, would you believe me?"
Ye Xuanyuan stared into her eyes for a long time before sighing and saying, "I'll probably believe it. You are indeed different from when you were little. You no longer shyly follow behind me and call me Brother Yuan. You are no longer that timid little girl. If it weren't for your eyes, I would probably suspect that you are an imposter hired by someone else."
"Then why do you want to marry me?"
For some reason, Liu Huan felt a pang of sadness in her heart, as if a negative emotion had suddenly been amplified.
“You are quite different now, but you fascinate me even more. You are much bolder and more meticulous, and you can cook delicious meals. You don’t even flinch in front of the king. These are all things I’ve never seen before. But no matter what, when I see you, my heart beats for no reason. It’s a feeling I can’t find in anyone else.”
As Ye Xuanyuan spoke, he pulled Liu Huan's small hand to his heart, letting her feel his strong and powerful heartbeat, as if expressing his true feelings...
Liu Huan was somewhat moved and slowly leaned on his shoulder, resting quietly there. She could feel his heartbeat in her palm, and her eyes caught a glimpse of the constantly flickering red candle. For whom was this red candle lit?
Perhaps the man before her did not love her before, but now he has fallen for her. What more could one ask for from such a devoted man?
