The sixth day of the fifth lunar month is sunny and auspicious for all activities.

Yan Wan sat nervously in the palace, dressed in magnificent robes that accentuated her noble bearing. The phoenixes embroidered on her robes were so lifelike that it was clear how much His Majesty cared for the Empress.

"Wan'er, have some snacks to tide you over." Ji Mohan walked in from outside with a box of pastries. His clothes complemented Yan Wan's elegant attire, making him look even more handsome and dashing.

Upon hearing the sound, Yan Wan happily turned around and jumped into Ji Mohan's arms, looking at him with her round, puppy-like eyes with a pitiful expression, "Hanhan, my head is so heavy, boohoo."

Ji Mohan put down the food box, gently embraced Yan Wan, looked at the beautiful and charming little empress, chuckled, and raised his hand to gently massage the back of Yan Wan's neck. "Good girl, Wan'er, let me massage it for you. Does it feel better now?" Ji Mohan looked down at the many gold hairpins in Yan Wan's hair. No wonder she felt heavy.

"Is it alright? How about I have them remove some of it for you?" Ji Mohan said gently, staring at Yan Wan's aggrieved little face.

The palace servants were so amazed to see His Majesty so gentle for the first time that they almost popped their eyes out. It was unbelievable! They never knew His Majesty could be so gentle. The outside world described him as having a violent temper and being cruel and murderous. How could His Majesty's demeanor have changed so drastically now?

The maid beside Yan Wan hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly knelt down and whispered, "Your Majesty, the gold hairpin on Her Highness's head cannot be removed. This, this is against the rules." As she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, and her body trembled uncontrollably, as if she were terrified.

Yan Wan squeezed Ji Mohan's hand and said obediently, "Never mind, Hanhan, it's fine if it's heavy. I can handle it. You can get up too." Yan Wan said to the little maid kneeling on the ground.

"Well, if you just take it off, there are no rules here." Ji Mohan said, rubbing Yan Wan's neck while looking at her with concern.

"Okay, I understand! Don't worry, Hanhan, today I'm going to become your queen in a beautiful way." Yan Wan said with a smile. There have been too many difficulties along the way, but fortunately, neither of them gave up.

Yan Wan stretched her face forward and asked, "Am I pretty today?"

Looking at the beautiful, fair-skinned, cute and playful girl, Ji Mohan's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily. An inexplicable anger surged in his heart. He was not a saint; with the woman he loved in front of him, he could not remain indifferent.

“Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.” Ji Mohan’s eyes darkened, and he said in a low, husky voice.

"Really? Hanhan, I'm so happy, but it also feels a little unreal." Yan Wan felt like the scene of how they met was right before her eyes. She never imagined that they would really become husband and wife.

"Wan'er, don't worry too much. I've arranged everything. No matter what happens, I'll be with you. Don't be afraid. Now eat something, the coronation ceremony will take a long time." Ji Mohan opened the food box next to him, which contained both snacks and meals, all of which were Yan Wan's favorites.

Yan Wan was dragged out of bed early in the morning to do her makeup and get dressed. She hadn't eaten a single bite of food since then. Ji Mohan's timely delivery of food was a godsend for Yan Wan, who was starving.
