The Ye familys joyous occasion came just after the Spring Festival Pei Yuanshu and Ye Huailing were getting married.

The date set during the royal courts holiday at the end of the year was thoughtfully chosen by both Chu Jinglan and Ye Huaiyang, which allowed them plenty of time to prepare and arrange. Since Ye Huaiyang has always been most considerate, she knew that Pei Yuanshu being an honest and upright official these many years does not have much wealth. Hence, a residence that was not far and just across the street from Ye mansion was especially given to Pei Yuanshu as their new home.

The Ye family has only a total of two girls in this generation. Since Ye Huaiyangs wedding could not be extravagant at that time, there naturally mustnt be regrets for Ye Huailings too. On the day of the wedding, snowy-while camellia paved the entire street. As the red phoenix carriage speed slowly through the falling petals, the horses strode on the dust around the capital while the fluttering red silk covered the brides delicate face like mist and more touches of shyness added amidst the cheering voices.

Two people dressed in plain clothes stood and watched from afar in the Ye familys attic. The womans gaze was beaming star-like bright while the man looked down at her, seemingly lost in thought.

Once your body is fit, Husband will make up a grand Empress conferral ceremony for you.

. You thought Im envious of this?

Not knowing whether to laugh or to cry, Ye Huaiyang shifted her gaze from the beating drums and gongs streets to Chu Jinglan and precisely caught the flash of regret in his eyes.

At the time of our marriage there were many things that Husband didnt do.

She understood the rest of his unspoken words. There were too many failings at that time since he didnt treat this matrimony wholeheartedly. Now that he is the Emperor who wields the reign in his hands, he wants to make up for the grievances that she has suffered and give her the worlds best things. He even wanted to announce to the whole world that in this life, she is the only woman who can stand side-by-side at the top of heaven with him, having the ministers respecting her, as well as to be written together into the annals of history with him and be eulogized generation after generation.

He knew she didnt care about the power and glory, but he just wanted to give.

Leaning against his chest, Ye Huaiyang softly said, Jinglan, I dont need any Empress conferral ceremony. You are still you while I am still me and these crowns wont change anything. Why do we care what the world thinks? Only the people who drink water know how hot or cold it is and we just need to live as we please.

. Do you really think this way?

Chu Jinglan was somewhat uncertain. After all, Chu Zhenghe said all women are hypocrites who will say one thing and mean another when he came to the palace to have some drinks with him a few days ago.

Ye Huaiyang, who had never seen him with such an expression, immediately covered her mouth and laughed out before setting his mind at ease.

When have I ever lied to you? The grand Empress conferral ceremony is rather tiring and also costs a lot of money. I indeed dont like it. Moreover, I really dont envy Lingers spectacular, merely feel that she is so lucky to be given away in marriage by my Uncle and Aunt, while my Father and Mother perhaps they dont even know that I am married.

She felt a little helpless thinking of her parents who are touring afar. She doesnt know what they will feel when they come back and see herself as the Empress and has even given birth to a child.

Your parents . are indeed rare and open-minded. Chu Jinglan held back the laughter yet was unexpectedly whacked by Ye Huaiyang.

Still laughing. Take me to Pei manor quickly, else we will certainly miss out the bantering of the newly-weds*.

And the groom who was riding his horse in the distance suddenly felt a chill on his back.

As Pei Yuanshus parents died early, he has no other family members in the family. So, Ye Xun and his wife sat at the seats of honor for the wedding ceremony. With genial smiles, the two elderly accepted the young couples cups of tea and were both given red envelopes (containing money as gifts) before Pei Yuanshu and Ye Huailing were ushered into the bridal chamber amid the joyous atmosphere.

After unveiling the headscarf, drinking the nuptial wine and a series of customs, the Xiniang and others exited the room, leaving the young couple to linger uninterrupted.

As Pei Yuanshu is usually shy, he became even more loss of words seeing such an enchanting Ye Huailing and kept staring dazedly at her. Glancing bashfully at him, Ye Huailing spat out two clear words.

Block-head!

Ling, Linger Pei Yuanshu started to stutter again before changing the words at once after being glared at, Wife, let me help you take off the phoenix headdress and the embroidered tassel cape, it looks rather heavy

Guess you still have a conscience. Ye Huailing was slightly annoyed and let him carefully remove the burden on her body before saying to him. My feet are also sore from standing, you help me massage them.

Hurriedly lifted her legs to his knees, Pei Yuanshu kneaded them again and again, the strength was not too light nor too hard which was just right. He even raised his head frequently to ask how she felt. Seeing that the red candles were almost half burnt, Ye Huailing couldnt help feeling a little irritated and criticized silently again.

Truly an unromantic block-head!

Feeling an inexplicable ticklish in his ear, Pei Yuanshu barely scratched it when he heard her say, With such thick clothes, whats the difference between this and tickling?

Then, then

Pei Yuanshu was rather at a loss and only reacted when he saw the tip of her nose pointed at her shoes and socks. His face immediately reddened and ears burned. It took a long time before he took them off for her. The moment the snowy-white jade feet were bare in front of him, he could only feel his face almost burning up.

She is really beautiful, her feet are so delicate and tenderly white that even a mindful move seems to break her to pieces.

Ye Huailings enticing voice soon drifted into his ears, Husband, am I beautiful?

As soon as her voice waned off, a foot just brushed against his robe before sliding to his lower belly while his heart seemed tickled by a million ants of which his blood boiled up and surged straight to the top of his head.

Certain, certainly beautiful.

Then why havent you hugged me since you came in here? Ye Huailing pouted her red lips annoyingly. The alluring delicacy in front of him was impossible to be rid of that he just stared intently.

How could he not hug her after she had said so.

Pei Yuanshu hurriedly gathered the delicately soft jade-like body into his arms and the surging wildfire in his chest seemed to subside a little but also seemingly even more exuberant. He couldnt help gulping the saliva and stared dumbfoundedly at the flower-like smiling face, not knowing what to do.

While Ye Huailing felt so tired.

Last night her mother had been prattling for most of the night and luckily she had listened earnestly, otherwise the two of them might just stare foolishly at each other here on their wedding night today. Ye Huaiyang was nevertheless right, exceptional methods had to be used on special people or else you will be outraged with anxiety and the person still doesnt know what is going on.

Thinking as such, Ye Huailing smiled thinly and printed a sweet kiss on the side of Pei Yuanshus face. Who knew there were noisy voices outside before he had time to speak.

Yuanshu! This King is here to mess up your nuptial chamber, hahaha!

Its over, that wrecking-demon king, Chu Zhenghe is here. With his nature, he would probably flatten the bridal chamber before giving up. Thinking of such, Ye Huailing glanced menacingly at Pei Yuanshu, seemingly blaming him for not knowing to cherish the good moment and dallying till people had come to the door yet he hadnt kissed her. And now how could he come back without drinking a few catties of wine?

How would Pei Yuanshu understand the profound meaning hidden behind her aggrieved gaze? He just stroked her hair gently and said, Ill be back in a while and went out. Sulkily flinging her embroidered shoes, Ye Huailing turned over to lie prone on the bed and stopped moving.

In just this short time, many people had gathered outside. Xie Miao, Lu Heng and many fellow officials were among them.

Hey, everyone please stay. Whoever wants to mess up my younger brother-in-laws bridal chamber today has to get me drunk first!

Still your younger brother-in-law! Chu Zhenghe laughed and called out at Ye Huaixin, You are several years younger than Yuanshu and not even embarrassed to call him that!

Ye Huaixin ignored his teasing and laughed merrily, In any case, we are one family. Its useless for Wangye to sow discord, I wont let you pass no matter what you say!

Not knowing if We[1] are allowed to pass?

Dressed in a pale blue brocade robe, Chu Jinglan strode over. Everyone hurriedly saluted once they saw him while he waved his hand and turned to speak to Ye Huaixin, Stinky two-faced brat. When We married your elder sister, you used all kinds of methods to imbue Us with alcohol and now you are protecting Yuanshu so tightly. We think you just lack whacking!

The people around burst into laughter immediately that even Pei Yuanshu felt somewhat embarrassed and immediately drank up three cups of wine as punishment. His face and the root of his neck turned red once the wine went straight to the head.

Ye Huaixin wasnt shamefaced at all, instead he even enumerated Chu Jinglan, Your Majesty, dont confuse the matter. Are you deliberately here today to mess up Yuanshus place? He will still let you have a good time even if he doesnt have a nuptial night!

Hahaha, thats true. Come, come, come. With the Imperial Brothers power, this King will imbue him a few more cups that will surely let him sleep till fifteenth of the first month!

Carrying the wine jug, Chu Zhenghe pushed his way in whilst several cousins of the Ye family hastily blocked the door that the door slightly shook. There were more laughters and joking after a few more cups of the yellow liquor that the few big lords drank merrily under the open sky. Amidst the noise, someone left quietly.

Arriving at the edge of the pond, a lonely beautiful silhouette was seen alone there when traces of ripples finally appeared on his unwaveringly calm face.

She is here too.

With a veil still covering her face and wrapped in a plain dress, she was so low-key to the point that one was unable to discern she is the daughter of the powerful Xie family. The thin stature which could be blown away by the wind didnt have the nobility of a wealthy familys young lady. Sitting under the leafless peach tree, she stared blankly at the few koi swimming happily in the pond, as if she was also tired of the noises in the front yard and had escaped here. But the quietness and tranquility of the scenery did not dispel the slight sorrowness on her appearance.

Lu Hengs heart felt bursts and bursts of pains, as if it would split out of his chest. Unable to bear it anymore, he strode forward and dragged her to the back of the rockery.

Xie Yun was startled at first but after seeing the person in front of her clearly, she was rendered speechless like a string-snapped zither and her soft facial contours vaguely outlined a trace of stubbornness which made him angry and felt helpless.

Yuner

Lu Heng stretched out to unveil her face which she did not respond to. The scar just displayed starkly in front of his eyes like the last time. Snaking from her lower jaw to the base of her ear, the color was much lighter yet it was still distinct like a hideous reptile gnawing at her flawless skin which was painful to the marrow of the bones.

She didnt dodge but just looked straight into his pain-filled gaze, appearing indifferently like the clear spring pond.

At this moment, two richly attired and heavily make-up noblewomen passed by and chatted as they walked outside.

Hey, did you see the person from the Xie family? I went over to greet her and she is still aloof. Tsk, doesnt she even look at herself in the mirror, if her surname isnt Xie, who will heed her ah!

Precisely, it was said that her face is so maimed that no one can look at her. Looking like this, she probably wont be able to get married in this life, what is she still so zealously pulling ah .

One of the noblewomen lowered her voice and said suddenly, You dont know, she doesnt plan to get married and has been waiting persistently for her old lover. Now that the new Emperor has been enthroned, that old lover has also advanced rapidly but there is no intention to reconcile with her. Dont you think its ludicrous?

Pftt, is there such a thing ah? I thought it was a rumor when my cousin told me

Its definitely not a rumor. My uncle-in-laws brother-in-law is the Xie familys physician. He said Xie Yun even had a miscarriage and it was precisely the seed of this old lover, but regrettably ah, he hasnt the slightest intention to marry her at all. In my opinion, it is due to that face of hers.

The other noblewoman nodded her head and went through the motion, Thats true, who would want one whos disfigured ah. Should one wake up during the night and catch sight will surely get a heart attack.

The two of them chuckled and walked away. Not far away, Lu Hengs complexion had turned ghastly pale. Lowering his head to look at Xie Yun, there was actually not the least bit of emotions as she was calm as a pool of stagnant water, apparently long been insusceptible to this kind of vilification.

Tightening and loosening his fists, Lu Heng finally restrained his strength to stroke her shoulders and spoke dumbly, Yuner, marry me, let me

Ah Heng. Interrupting him unexpectedly, Xie Yun looked at him steadily and said, My Elder Brother has already agreed on a marriage for me.

As if struck by a thunderbolt, Lu Heng took a step back in disbelief and bumped heavily on the jagged rockery, causing severe pain in his back, yet the extreme pain was in his heart which seemed stabbed badly and mangled by a churning iron awl.

What did you say?

Breaking free of his restraint, Xie Yun raised those calmly limpid eyes that clearly reflected the bright blue sky, yet seeped with a sense of lonely desolation that he couldnt touch.

I said Im going to get married, Ah Heng.
