Long Yan was dressed in a red wedding robe with a large red flower hanging on his chest. The groom's hat on his head was a little crooked, and his entire face was red, making the scarred left side look like a burn wound, which was quite terrifying. His mouth was always open, and he held a wine cup in his hand as he continuously toasted the nanny, saying words of joy and accompanying her laughter … Actually, he also felt very tired and bored, but since they were married and since he was an idiot, he had to at least put on an act.
Oh, marriage is tiring! Long Yan couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.
Looking at those festive redness, looking at those drunk people, looking at those who continuously toasted each other, Long Yan suddenly felt that this world was really faking it! These people were pointing at him from behind his back, calling him an idiot, calling him ugly and ugly, but he clearly heard every single word and remembered them in his heart. These people had gathered here today because of the dragon shield, pretending to be polite and fawning on him, making him feel that their smiling faces were even uglier.
Long Yan giggled foolishly, but his smile did not reach his eyes. He used the sharp eyes hidden behind his smirk to scan the entire area, and finally fixed his gaze on the dragon shield in the main seat. Feeling Bai Ling's gaze, he shifted his gaze and looked straight at her empty eyes.
"Alright, alright. Everyone, it's getting late. I believe the bride is about to fall asleep. Everyone, please show some mercy and let our groom go back to the bridal chamber, okay?" The wedding nanny said in a high-pitched voice. As expected of a famous matchmaker who was used to making a scene. Just this ambiguous sentence made the entire audience burst into laughter.
"That's right, the two beauties should be getting impatient by now. It's best that we return as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be bad if we don't have enough time …" A drunk official thought that he was talking big. As he wished, the audience burst out into laughter as they hurriedly echoed him, "That's right, it's better if we go back earlier so that we can properly distribute them!" Another dubious voice chimed in, once again provoking laughter from the audience.
"Alright, alright. Everyone, if the groom doesn't leave, then there really isn't enough time …" The nanny urged, pulling the giggling Long Yan away from the lively banquet.
Looking at the silly Long Yan, the smiling faces of the people were finally a little sad, even envious: With his looks, he was actually able to marry the beautiful Heavenly Immortal like Young Master Ying and the most popular figure, Bu Jinghua.
Sigh … Of course, everyone's words could only be buried deep in their hearts. No one dared to say it out loud, no matter how much the officials thought in unison. People's hearts were always separated, and no one dared to take the risk.
Slightly sighing, the officials quickly put on smiles again and continued to drink.
"Young Master, you should spend the first half of the night at the main palace, and the second half at the side palace. Do you understand?" The nanny brought Long Yan to the door of Young Master Ying's room. After explaining everything clearly, she knocked on the door of Young Master Ying Ying's room.
"Come in!" A lazy voice sounded from inside.
"Aiyo, bride, Young Master is here to take the red veil over your head!" You must have been waiting for a long time! " The nanny waved her fan and walked in with Long Yan in tow. When she went in, there was a person lying on the bed, dressed in a wedding gown, the phoenix crown on his head had long been thrown to the side. She was lying there, stiff and straight, completely at odds with the appearance of the beautiful maiden who entered the room, which surprised the nanny quite a bit.
There was also the table with the pastries and wine. There was a mess, and there was even a table full of leftover chicken bones from who knows where … The red candle flickered, reflecting the pitiful state of the wolf. This... Isn't it too disrespectful?
This girl was indeed as popular as the rumors outside. Earlier this morning, she thought that the outside world was just a rumor. She didn't expect that her docile appearance was just for outsiders to see. The nanny's heart was filled with loathing.
However, the nanny quickly put on a flattering smile and pulled Long Tianyi into the room. She didn't expect Young Master Ying's personal maid, Lil Violet, to stop her.
"Shh!" Keep your voices down! My Miss has just fallen asleep! " Little Violet gave the nanny a glare before saying, "Alright, you can go now. You can stay here. Hurry up and go lower your voice!" Little Violet pointed at the nanny and then pointed at Long Yan, not putting him in her eyes at all. In her eyes, he was just a fool who didn't know anything.
"But …" After all, the nanny had collected a lot of money, so she should have done a lot of things. Even if the bride wasn't willing, she had to at least have some meaning to it.
"Alright, this is given to you by my young mistress. Leave quickly!" Lil Violet ignored everything and chased the nanny out. Leaving Long Yan by himself, Little Purple looked at the confused Long Yan and smiled sinisterly.
According to the rules of the palace, there must be a eunuch waiting outside to eavesdrop, and then he would tell the empress about what had happened in the room. If he knew that there was no sound at all, it would arouse everyone's suspicions.
"Young Master!" Little Violet called out sweetly, her eyes flashing with a pleased smile. She bullied the servants of the manor quite a bit, but she didn't dare to speak out loud in front of her master. Now, there was actually a Fourth Prince who was toyed with by her, and this wasn't a chance everyone could have, and now that she, Little Violet, actually had one, this made her feel very proud. Although she had to constantly endure Miss's bad temper and violence, but … It was all worth it.
"Hehe!" Long Yan looked at the maid that was smiling sinisterly at him and smiled foolishly. He really did not know what this maid was up to. That violent woman was so rude even when she slept. It was really a wonder why so many young masters liked her. For he had married her, and had been cursed behind her back by many princes.
He wasn't willing to point fingers at such a woman.
However, how could he not know that this was just a political marriage. He was very clear that he had always been living as a chess piece!
Suddenly, Long Yan's eyes showed a hint of sadness, but that sadness was quickly restrained in the flickering candlelight, as if it had never appeared before.
"Young Master, can I discuss something with you?" Lil Violet pulled Long Yan to the side of the table and sat him down. She let Long Yan stand there and looked up at Long Yan, feeling uncomfortable. She pointed her index finger at him, indicating him to lower his head.
"What's wrong?" Long Yan stood there with an ignorant look on his face as he asked Little Violet.
"I told you to squat." Lil Violet ordered impatiently.
This damnable girl, she actually didn't put him in her eyes at all. No matter what, he was a master, even if he was a 'fool', he was still a master. This damnable servant girl still wanted to bully him?
"Aiyo, I almost forgot. Mother said that after the wedding, everyone must be chased out tonight. It can only be me and the bride staying in the room. Otherwise, Mother will be angry!" Long Yan knitted his eyebrows in childish anger, his words were too serious, "You have to get out of here, otherwise, mother will kill your head!" Long Yan's right hand formed a knife shape as he ruthlessly slashed at his neck. He saw Little Violet's eyes widen. It looked like it was truly frightened, and it was also quite frightened.
"True... "Really …" Lil Violet's voice trembled as she asked. She had forgotten about her previous malicious intentions. The current her only remembered the two words, 'head-slaying'.
"Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you? It was indeed mother who told me. Do you know who my mother is?" My mother is the queen of today, and she would never lie! " Long Yan nodded his head seriously with a serious expression.
The empress he spoke of was the empress, Lil Violet was very clear on this point. That's right, who was the empress? The empress was a matriarch of the world, so how could she lie? The empress's words were true, she would never lie.
The fourth prince was also a fool, so he didn't have such a careful mind to think of such a complicated matter to scare her. Therefore, this matter was absolutely true.
"Are you sure you don't want to go out? But you will be beheaded! " Seeing Lil Violet's terrified expression, Long Yan once again ruthlessly wiped his neck with the knife, causing Lil Violet to shiver in fright.
"Miss, Miss …" She ran over to wake up Gongzi Ying, but she was very clear that once she fell asleep, she wouldn't be able to wake up so easily. If she woke up and didn't have enough sleep, the person who was bothering her would definitely suffer.
Because Lil Violet was well aware of this, it didn't dare to call out loudly, nor did it dare to leave its young miss and Long Yan alone here. However, it also didn't want its head chopped off, so for a moment, it didn't know what to do.
"Since you're not afraid of being beheaded, then forget it. I'll go tell the Queen Mother that you're not willing to go out!" Long Yan helplessly spread his hands and turned around to leave.
"No, I'm going out now!" Lil Violet was, after all, a thirteen or fourteen year old little girl. After hearing Long Yan say this, she was so scared that she immediately ignored the Young Master on the bed and hurriedly ran out, closing the door behind her.
As Long Yan stood there, he looked at the woman on the bed, and the smile on his face immediately disappeared. There was only a face of silence, and the light in his eyes, reflected by the candlelight, seemed to grow brighter.
"Phew … Phew … Phew …" Unexpectedly, the woman sleeping on the bed was still snoring without any image. This woman, although she had a beautiful appearance, she didn't have any connotations. It was such a waste for her to have such good skin. Long Yan unconsciously frowned.
She didn't look like that woman at all. Although she didn't look like one, she had a cold and aloof aura about her … "Heh, is he praising that ugly ice mountain woman now?" Realizing this, Long Yan's brows wrinkled even more. His thin and moderate red lips pursed into a thin line. He was clearly unhappy with his out-of-tune thoughts.
Still, he was curious. What was she doing now? Waiting in the bridal chamber? Heh, the chances aren't high … With a self-deprecating smile, Long Yan sat down, poured himself a cup of wine, tilted his head back, and finished it in one gulp.
Outside, he suddenly saw a shadow swaying. Long Yan's eyes narrowed as he looked over and suddenly smiled. Indeed, someone had really come to inspect it. This Queen Mother's work is really competent!
The mocking smile on Long Yan's face gradually grew larger.
"Hu!" He blew out the flickering candle in the room and sat there quietly, waiting for the second half of the night to come. The nanny had said that she would come in the middle of the night to take him to the side concubine's to take off his red cap. The customs of the Dragon Cliff Kingdom were actually so strange, only after the concubine had put on her red veil to wait for her husband and main concubine to finish would she be able to meet her own husband.
However, he still looked forward to meeting her in the middle of the night. Last time, he had played tricks on her, so he wondered what her reaction would be when she saw him tonight as her husband. Still angry? So angry that he wanted to kill him? Heh, however, in his opinion, being indifferent to others was her true nature.
Thinking of this, Long Yan became even more expectant.
