It was already afternoon, and most of the ministers who came to attend the wedding had arrived, but Xiao Ling knew that there was still a very special gift that had not been received.

It's her own.

It is not very expensive, but it must be very special to Chu Yi now.

"The imperial edict has arrived—"

Following a high-pitched and drawn-out voice outside the mansion, the bustling scene inside finally calmed down.

When Chu Yi heard the noise, he also brought his servants forward to receive the imperial edict.

However, he did not kneel, and the eunuch who delivered the order did not care.

"Imperial edict!"

"I am truly delighted that my beloved Lord Chu is getting married today. I would have loved to come and congratulate you personally, but unfortunately I am busy with state affairs."

"To show my affection, I grant you, my beloved Lord Chu, the imperial crown, the musical instruments, the red doors, the steps... I also grant you the right to enter the palace to meet me at any time. I hope you will work hard."

When the eunuch finished speaking this decree, not only others but also Chu Yi himself was stunned.

The imperial crown, the musical instruments, the red doors... a total of nine items, carrying nine kinds of privileges, are called the Nine Gifts!

These nine gifts are not ordinary things. Each of the nine privileges they represent is a special grant from the emperor and should not be possessed by a subject.

In the history of this continent, it can be said that among the ministers who were granted the Nine Gifts by the Emperor, eleven out of ten rebelled.

Everyone knows exactly what the significance of the emperor's edict is.

For a moment, many court officials in the Chu Mansion were silent.

Some people were brave enough to look at the leader, Lord Chu, with curiosity, and found that Chu Yi did not have any extra expression.

He just bowed slightly, with a smile on his face all the time.

"I accept your order and thank you for your grace!"

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict put away the decree and asked the imperial guards behind him to bring the things.

All the officials looked over and found that what was placed there was a brand new dragon robe.

"Master Chu, His Majesty has granted you a gift, saying that you can wear this dragon robe for your wedding today."

Chu Yi nodded slightly and also took the clothes.

Although he didn't understand what the little emperor meant, since it was something beneficial to him, he didn't care.

As long as they don't cause trouble at her wedding, Chu Yi can accept it.

As soon as the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict left, everyone quickly dispersed.

…

The banquet lasted for more than thirty minutes and it was almost dusk.

Chu Yi finally waited for the most anticipated part, and the first step was to go to the bridal chamber.

Xiao Ling finally heard the noise outside, and then a very familiar voice came from the door.

"Madam, your husband is about to come in."

“…”

This Chu thief is so shameless even on his wedding night.

Xiao Ling's cheeks, covered by the red veil, turned slightly red, and she quickly moved a step to the head of the bed.

There was nothing extra to do, Chu Yi walked directly to the bed and sat down.

He was about to lift the red veil directly, but after thinking it over, he held back.

At this time, the wedding dress that Chen Tang was wearing was actually embroidered with a phoenix. She had such a noble air that her every move, frown and smile seemed to be tailor-made for her.

Chu Yi couldn't help but have a bold imagination. If Tang'er could wear more gorgeous clothes in the future, her noble aura would probably be completely unconcealed, right?

"Madam, you are so beautiful today!"

Chu Yi held Chen Tang's slender hands in his palms and spoke with emotion.

Hearing Chu Yi's compliment, Xiao Ling did not refute, but pursed her lips and said: "Actually... I have always been beautiful."

"Ahem... that's right."

This sentence made Chu Yi a little unsure of how to respond. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to drink the wedding wine first.

Then, he personally took off the veil on her head.

What caught the eye was a gorgeous phoenix crown with red hairpins and jadeite on her head, and then looking down, she saw Tang'er's quiet and beautiful face.

Xiao Ling also looked up at Chu Yi at this time. Thinking of what was going to happen tonight, a bit of shyness suddenly appeared on his originally calm face.

Chu Yi no longer hesitated. With an idea in mind, he reached out and tried to take off her clothes.

"Chu...Chu Yi, let me do it myself..." Xiao Ling stopped his hand.

Hearing this, Chu Yi raised his eyebrows and couldn't help pinching her face.

"Tang'er, since we're getting married, shouldn't you call me husband?"

Xiao Ling stared blankly at Chu Yi's gentle gaze. Although the title of "husband" was very normal, it also represented a new beginning.

This means that his relationship with the Chu thief has changed from king and subject to husband and wife.

Well, that's not right. After all, he is the emperor. No matter what, he should be a king and his subject in public, and husband and wife in private.

Xiao Ling thought so and secretly encouraged himself, wanting to prove that he would be able to defeat Chu Yi in the future.

Facing Chu Yi's gaze, she mustered up her courage and spoke softly.

"Husband..."

Chu Yi was overjoyed and kissed her on the cheek, "My dear madam, let's not delay any further. Please help me undress first."

Fortunately, the two of them have been sleeping together and having an intimate relationship for some time, and Xiao Ling was very obedient today.

He leaned forward slightly and took off Chu Yi's clothes one by one.

finally……

When everything was ready, Xiao Ling covered her body and was about to blow out the candle on the bedside, but Chu Yi got there first and pushed her under him.

"Madam, please don't blow out the candles. On this special day, you should let your husband take a good look at you."

"You...you...are so shameless! It's not like...you haven't seen enough."

…

Omit small details

…

In the red candle tent, figures intertwined,

The night outside was chilling, but inside the house was filled with romance.

The blurred figure is like a dancing firefly or a falling wild goose feather.

The night is dark, and the red of the colorful lights dyes half of the early winter night sky.
