"Speaking of this, are you sure the Crown Prince's health is really alright? He's refused to go all the way with me time and time again. I don't doubt my own charm, but I do suspect he's ill."
Fang Ruotang gets worried whenever this matter is brought up.
She's practically obsessed with sleeping with the Crown Prince now. Whether she has a mission or not doesn't matter; what matters is that she wants to sleep with him as soon as possible so she won't keep thinking about it.
Fang Ruotang was unaware that the Crown Prince was even more obsessed than she was.
If a man brakes at a crucial moment once or twice, and the meat is right in front of him but he can't eat it, then he will really amplify his liking to the point of 100%.
He didn't even dare to say that he couldn't sleep at night, and that whenever he had free time during the day, all he could think about was Fang Ruotang, her beauty, her softness.
He wanted to pull her into his arms and drag her into the turbulent waves of desire.
On several occasions, when desire took over, he had already walked out of the palace gates, only to be jolted back to his senses by a gust of cold wind.
Suppressing his desires, he returned to the palace, repeatedly warning himself that this was not a good time.
Once the border battlefield is over, and the other four haven't returned to the capital, he will be able to achieve perfect harmony with Fang Ruotang.
With a plan in mind, even though the Crown Prince was extremely anxious, he dared not send letters to urge them, for fear that the four would notice something amiss. At the same time, he placed more surveillance around the four to ensure that they would not sneak back to the capital without his knowledge.
"Little Six..."
"Um?"
Fang Ruotang gave a perfunctory reply, her mind still wandering as she thought of solutions for the wedding night.
Ah! I've got it! We can have them roll dice, and whoever rolls the highest number will be the groom that night. Anyway, by the time that day comes, I think I'll already have a physical relationship with them.
At least in Fang Ruotang's plan, the goal was to defeat them one by one.
The crown prince frowned. Wasn't it supposed to be his?
Not only did the Crown Prince misunderstand, but Ye Wuxia did as well, which made the Crown Prince's plan to steal someone away during a time difference exceptionally smooth.
"We've arrived at the front hall, but we haven't seen the bride yet. I wonder if she's a good match for your fifth brother?"
The Crown Prince had almost uncovered Fang Ruotang's fifth sister-in-law's bedwetting incident when she was three years old, so how could he not have seen her? He would never allow any demons or monsters to attach themselves to Fang Ruotang.
But if he didn't say that now, he was afraid Fang Ruotang would continue with her inner thoughts.
The schedule for their sexual encounters must not be overheard by anyone else.
"They're a perfect match! They're quite good-looking, and standing together with Fifth Brother, one quiet and one lively, they look like a match made in heaven." Fang Ruotang gave a thumbs up, her face full of praise.
After talking things out with Fifth Brother last time, Shen Lixia came to apologize to her and repeatedly said that she would not say such things to cause misunderstanding in the future. Moreover, she confessed that it was not only to become the Fifth Sister-in-law of the Grand Preceptor, but also because the identity of the wife of the newly appointed top scholar was very attractive to her.
As the three walked into the main hall, the people in front of them automatically stepped aside to make way for them.
Fang Ruotang had secured a good spot to watch the ceremony. The bride's face was covered by a veil, so her expression couldn't be seen, but the groom's beaming smile was immediately noticeable.
"First bow to Heaven and Earth."
"Bowing to the parents twice."
"Husband and wife bow to each other."
...
Fang Ruotang arrived at just the right time, and after witnessing the ceremony, she went with everyone to the bridal chamber.
At the matchmaker's prompting, Fang Zhixing lifted the bridal veil, revealing the bride's beautiful face.
"Wow, Fifth Sister-in-law, you look so beautiful!"
In the past, Fang Ruotang hadn't really paid much attention to Shen Lixia's face, since her other behaviors were more noticeable than her face.
Today, watching her sit quietly on the red wedding bed, she looked even more beautiful than the flowers, especially with her rare shyness, her face flushed, looking at Fang Zhixing but not daring to look at him.
Even a young girl like Fang Ruotang couldn't take her eyes off it, let alone a man.
Oh, no, there's one exception.
"Hahahaha! Shen Lixia, you seem like a woman!"
Shen Lixia's ex-fiancé, Lu Zichao, slapped his thigh and laughed wildly, making Shen Lixia feel embarrassed. Her already rosy face became even more flushed, and she glared at Lu Zichao with gritted teeth, instantly shattering the beautiful scene just now.
"What are you saying, my sworn brother?! I am a woman."
Hahaha! You're so funny!
Lu Zichao laughed so hard he almost fell over, as if he had seen someone dressed as a woman getting married. His mocking tone was so genuine that it made Shen Lixia feel embarrassed, and her eyes even welled up with tears.
After all, today is her wedding day. Even the most carefree girl dreams of appearing beautifully in front of her husband at this moment, leaving him with a beautiful impression that he will never forget.
But Lu Zichao ruined all of this.
Instead of stunning the audience, she acted like a clown, drawing laughter from everyone.
"Brother Lu!"
Fang Zhixing stepped aside and stood in front of Shen Lixia, interrupting the good-natured laughter of the people in the room. He said in a friendly manner, "The banquet has started ahead, Brother Lu, please go ahead first! I will be there shortly."
Fang Ruotang's gaze was already on Shen Lixia. When Shen Lixia's eyes reddened with embarrassment, it was extremely obvious, and Fang Ruotang noticed it at a glance.
He readily agreed, saying, "Yes, yes! Let's go out quickly! Let's give the newlyweds some space to have a private chat."
Lu Zichao, completely oblivious to the situation, said, "We haven't even had a proper wedding night celebration yet, and you're already going out?"
"Let's go! I'll go have a couple of drinks with you." Ye Wuxia stepped forward, nudged Lu Zichao, making him face the door, and pushed him out.
After all, he would be her brother-in-law in the future, so Ye Wuxia naturally wanted to lend a hand.
"Hey, you guys..."
Lu Zichao still had something to say, but there weren't many people in the room as clueless as him. Even if there were, they left the bridal chamber under the groom's forceful attitude.
When only the bride and groom remained in the room, Fang Zhixing carried two cups of wine to the wedding bed and said with a gentle and warm smile, "Let's drink a cup of nuptial wine to wish us a hundred years, no, a thousand years of happiness together?"
Shen Lixia smiled, and the tears that had been welling up in her eyes slid down her cheeks.
She smiled, but her eyes held a hint of sadness as she asked, "Was I really ugly just now? Did I embarrass you?"
"How could that be? You're beautiful."
"But Lu Chao is that bastard..."
"He was praising your beauty. I was so stunned by him. If he hadn't made a fuss, I would have definitely lost my composure and embarrassed myself."
"Really?" Shen Lixia looked at Fang Zhixing suspiciously.
Fang Zhixing was used to spoiling Fang Ruotang, and he used the same care he had for her to coax Shen Lixia with ease.
"Really, you look absolutely stunning. You're the most beautiful bride I've ever seen."
Fang Zhixing had never met many brides. The only one who left a deep impression on him was his second sister-in-law, a girl as radiant as a rose, with a flamboyant beauty.
His bride, however, was as radiant and dazzling as a vibrant little sun, just as captivating as him.
Especially when she lifted the bridal veil, her pair of mischievous big eyes, looking left and right, immediately caught his attention, making him unconsciously smile.
