Night falls, the moon shines brightly over a thousand miles, and countless stars intertwine.

Shang Changge was no stranger to the General's Mansion, and she was even more familiar with the room where Xiao Ji lived.

Looking at the room, which had clearly been renovated, she felt indescribably good. She was very pleased with General Xiao's thoughtfulness.

"Princess, would you like some more? These dishes, snacks, and teas were all personally selected by the General and specially sent over."

Qingyao, being an experienced woman, calculated that the princess had eaten less than usual today.

Worried that the princess might get very hungry and lose her energy later, he couldn't help but offer some words of advice.

Shang Changge declined, and casually asked, "Has the entire General's Mansion been renovated?"

Zhuque nodded and answered first: "Yes, this servant has observed carefully. The decoration and furnishings of the General's mansion are about 50% similar to our mansion. It must have been done intentionally by the General."

Shang Changge was touched, but what could she do? She still preferred her eldest princess's mansion, which was magnificent and grand enough.

The thought of her huge mansion, which would belong entirely to her, being left uninhabited made her heart ache so much she could hardly breathe.

In that case, I'll discuss it with Xiao Ji later.

It's also because the Princess's residence is quite a distance from the General's residence; otherwise, they could have simply bought out the separate residences and connected them together.

"Knock knock—"

A very polite knock came at the door, followed by Xiao Ji's voice: "Madam."

Shang Changge wanted to laugh a little. General Xiao's polite knocking touched her heart, and she loved it.

Qingyao and Zhuque were quite tactful; after bowing respectfully to Shang Changge, they went to open the door.

He then bowed respectfully to Xiao Ji, greeting him as the son-in-law, before leaving and closing the door.

The room was spacious, with large red "double happiness" characters pasted on the doors and windows, and under the glow of the luminous pearl...

Red candles, lanterns, red dates, longans, peanuts, lotus seeds... in short, everything that should be there is there, and even more.

Shang Changge had already put the red veil back on and sat on the bed with proper etiquette, waiting for her consort to lift the veil.

However, nothing happened for a long time.

Shang Changge: "?" She had some patience, but not much. Considering their wedding day, she remained patient and gently reminded him:

"General Xiao, what are you doing?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the veil was lifted. Their eyes met, and Xiao Ji's gaze was filled with amazement and pleasure; he couldn't look away.

Shang Changge didn't urge her; she was also looking at Xiao Ji. She thought General Xiao looked really handsome in his bright red wedding robes, and opened her mouth to praise him, but her slightly parted red lips were covered by his.

To wet, to entangle, to demand.

When they parted, their breaths were both a little too warm. Shang Changge climbed onto Xiao Jikuan's shoulder, tilted her chin slightly, and kissed the man's perfectly shaped thin lips, knowing full well what he meant:

"Have you looked enough, my husband? Still looking? Am I that beautiful today?"

Xiao Ji expresses his love directly, even when praising his wife, by leaning closer to her until they are intimately connected.

She lightly bit Shang Changge's full, crimson lips, her voice particularly alluring and seductive, perhaps due to the amount of alcohol she had drunk that day.

"It's so beautiful, beyond compare."

The two drank the nuptial wine, and what followed was a natural progression.

The true meaning of a wedding night is different; it is not about the intimate union of body and soul, the splendid scenery, or the length of time, but about being legitimate and having a proper status.

The next day, it was broad daylight.

Shang Changge turned over in a half-dreaming state, and when she sensed Xiao Ji's presence, her mind cleared up instantly, and she opened her eyes.

Upon catching the eye,

The overwhelming red color was so dazzling that it hurt Shang Changge's eyes.

Looking back, she realized that she and Xiao Ji were already married and Xiao Ji didn't have to attend the morning court session today. She peacefully closed her eyes again and turned to hug Xiao Ji.

After her bad habit of pinching and touching here and there, her beautiful face, which hadn't been made up after a bath late last night, rubbed comfortably against the man's broad chest before she closed her eyes and went back to sleep.

Xiao Ji woke up, gently pinched Shang Changge's soft waist with his large hand, and rested his chin on the woman's soft, dark hair, his voice tender:

"woke up?"

Shang Changge has always been good at lying through his teeth, and now he's lying through his teeth with his eyes closed: "No."

Her words implied that she wanted to continue sleeping.

Xiao Ji doted on and cooperated with her, knowing all the little preferences of his beloved woman. With a strong arm, he pulled Shang Changge onto himself.

After Shang Changge adjusted herself into the most comfortable sleeping position, he indulgently kissed the woman's hair:

"Go to sleep, let's sleep together."

Such opportunities were rare in the past, but they will be plentiful in the future. How wonderful, his little rascal is finally Xiao Ji's rightful wife.
