When everyone heard that it was a gift from the Emperor, they were even more excited. The highest official they had ever met was the town head, whom they had met that day. They never expected that Liu Huan had already met the Emperor.

After hearing this, no one dared to touch her. They just cautiously looked her over. The village aunties had never seen such a beautiful bride before, and they all surrounded her and wouldn't leave.

The room was completely packed with people. Auntie said, "Everyone, please go out first. There's hardly any room left."

Everyone left with smiles, leaving Su Wan, Su Ci, and a few maids behind.

Seeing that Su Wan wasn't leaving, Liu Huan asked, "Sister, aren't you going over there?"

“What would I do over there? They don’t need me. I’m just here to keep my sister company. After today, she’ll be my sister-in-law.”

Liu Huan smiled shyly upon hearing this, "Sister..."

Weddings are usually held in the evening, and Liu Huan really didn't know why she was being woken up so early. She yawned unceremoniously, her eyes filled with longing.

It wasn't that she was eager to get married; she just felt uncomfortable sitting and wanted to go to sleep as soon as possible.

Finally, the wedding procession arrived. Su Wan covered her head with a red veil. She thought one of her cousins ​​would carry her to the bridal sedan chair, but it turned out to be Su Cheng. She was overjoyed and quietly called out, "Brother."

Su Cheng spoke in a steady tone, just like many brothers who are about to marry off their younger sisters: "I've come to see you off on your wedding day."

Hearing this, Liu Huan's nose tingled, and she sobbed twice.

Su Cheng carried her to the bridal sedan chair, Su Yi turned around and mounted his horse. The matchmaker gave a blessing, and the sedan chair was lifted up and steadily circled Maocao Village before returning to the Su family mansion.

They crossed the saddle, stepped over the fire basin, and were led to the bridal chamber after the wedding ceremony.

There were many onlookers, and one of the women was crying uncontrollably. A man and a boy next to her patted her shoulder and comforted her silently.

"Mother, let's go."

The woman nodded reluctantly and was helped into the carriage, leaving the Su family without even having a meal.

After the ceremony, Su's mother went out to look for her, but couldn't find her anywhere. She was then told that she had already left.

"Sigh," Su's mother sighed, but didn't know what to say.

As darkness fell, Liu Huan was almost asleep in her room when the door was finally opened.

Su Cheng's voice was the loudest, "Huanhuan, your second brother is drunk, keep an eye on him."

After saying that, he immediately closed the door and ran away with his group.

Liu Huan waited for Su Yi to lift the veil, without saying a word.

Through the veil, she saw the man's dark red boots approaching her step by step, and her heart pounded. Even after so many years together, she couldn't help but feel nervous.

Su Yi picked up the scale rod, lifted a corner of the veil, and a stunningly beautiful face came into view. After a moment of stunned silence, he quickly lowered his gaze again.

He placed the scale beam down, his Adam's apple bobbing as he uttered two words, "Wife~"

His voice, husky and sexy from the alcohol, made Liu Huan unconsciously swallow, her face flushed and alluring, like the sunset.

Feeling uncomfortable with the ambiguous atmosphere, Liu Huan avoided eye contact and said, "Weren't you drunk?"

Su Yi chuckled twice, "That was Xiao Shi lying to them, to get me back sooner."

"Oh...oh, I'm sleepy, I want to go to sleep."

Su Yi looked at her with a mischievous grin, "Sleeping like this?"

Liu Huan realized that she hadn't changed her clothes and was still wearing a heavy headdress.

Just as she was about to reach out to pull it, her hand was grasped by a large hand. "I'll do it for you, husband."

The two were so close they could hear each other's breathing. Liu Huan held her breath and asked him to help her remove her headdress, but she refused to let him help her with her clothes.

Su Yi coughed lightly, covering his mouth with his hand, to hide his embarrassment. "I'll go next door to wash up."

As soon as he left, Qiu Rong brought in hot water, and Liu Huan removed her makeup with the hot water and drank some porridge before everyone else left.

Su Yi entered just in time, closed the door, and the red candle flickered, drawing the attention of both of them.

They snapped out of their daze and smiled at each other, as if the awkwardness from before had never existed.

Liu Huan got into bed first, gathered all the longans and peanuts on the bed into a corner, lifted the red quilt, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

Yes, she was going all out. After all, she had lived so many years longer than him, why should she be shy? What was she pretending for?

Su Yi saw all her little actions but didn't expose her. He stared at her intently, his emotions clear.

Unwilling to admit defeat, Liu Huan asked as he was about to get into bed, "Wait, why don't you turn off the lights?"

Su Yi glanced back at the brightly burning candles and teased, "Don't you know wedding candles can't be extinguished?"

Liu Huan rolled her eyes at him, "I've never been married, how would I know?"

He pulled the blanket over himself and said, "Alright, I'm really sleepy, let's go to sleep."

Su Yi lowered the layers of red curtains and lay down, clearly feeling the person next to him stiffen slightly. He tried to pull the blanket with his large hand, but couldn't budge it.

Now I'm stronger.

"Aren't you going to share the blanket with me?"

Liu Huan rolled around, giving him half of the blanket, but was caught in the gap as she opened it. "Weren't you fearless? Why are you running away?"

Liu Huan is the kind of person who can't stand being provoked, and sure enough, once he's provoked, he becomes much bolder.

He didn't even get a good look at Su Yi's face before he started kissing him on the face, completely haphazardly.

Su Yi only hesitated for a moment before taking the initiative, grabbing her neck and saying in a low, husky voice, "Are you a puppy, biting and chewing on everything?"

Their eyes met, and Su Yi's gaze slowly moved downwards. Liu Huan's lips, which had become red from biting him, became even more prominent, glistening and translucent. He couldn't think of any words to describe them.

The scene he saw made his mouth dry and his body hot and tense.

He touched his red lips with his fingertips, and with a gentle press, he could see the pink tongue and pearly teeth inside. His eyes darkened, and he leaned in to press down on her.

The lips were softer than he had imagined, gently rubbing and grinding against each other. The person beneath him couldn't help but let out a soft groan, but in his excitement, he swallowed all those sounds.

Its movements were no longer gentle, but became extremely fierce. If Liu Huan were to describe it, it was like the wolf king she had ever seen, incredibly raging.

Wherever the large hand touched, ripples spread, scalding her so much that she trembled all over.

"Stone~"

To Su Yi, the helpless and soft tone sounded more like an invitation, an invitation for him to continue.

Even though Liu Huan had picked up the fire-avoidance diagram again yesterday, she was still at a loss. Her mind was in a mess, and she could only be guided by Su Yi.

The red candle outside the tent burned all night, but the noises on the bed didn't continue into the night as one might expect.

Instead, they rested after one night of lovemaking. Su Yi felt incredibly satisfied looking at the sleeping baby in his arms and the red marks he had left on her body.

He pulled her closer with both hands, letting her head rest against his chest as they slept in each other's arms.

He felt a sharp pain in his head before going to sleep, but he thought it was because he was tired from working these past few days, so he didn't think much of it.
